Chapter 23: Secrets and hidden dangers part 1

"Honey? What's wrong? We can move to the bedroom if you'd like." Sesshomaru suggested while getting very concerned.

Kagome felt as if she wanted to get far away from there. "Um…yeah…everything is fine dear! Nothing to worry about. I think it's time for you to go back to work anyway."

"Aww…I wanted to stay here and take care of you." Sesshomaru started to beg while kissing Kagome's neck.

"Thanks anyway, but you know that Gigi is always here." Kagome pulled away and started walking towards the kitchen.

Sesshomaru stared blankly at Kagome as she walked away. Kagome was never like this. She had always wanted to make love with him, but something seemed wrong. But what?

"Are you sure? Ever since you got hit in the back of the head you've been acting a bit different. What happened to the Kagome I once knew?" Sesshomaru said as he stood in the same spot.

Kagome looked down from the counter and onto the floor. There was a pain in her heart and confusion in her mind. She loved Sesshomaru with all her heart but yet she feels as if she belongs to another. Kagome just continued to stare down and didn't say anything.

Sesshomaru sighed and walked over to the front door. "No matter how you are, or who you are, I will still love you." Sesshomaru turned the handle and walked out, leaving Kagome alone.

"Who's there!" InuYasha snapped, not moving.

"It's me! Miroku!" A voice came from the other side of the door.

InuYasha felt like an ass. He ran through the living room and over to the door. After opening it InuYasha noticed a shocked look on Miroku's face.

"Hey man…sorry about that. Something crazy is happening again and I assumed you were one of THEM." InuYasha apologized while scratching the back of his head.

"It's cool. So what happened? The line just like, died, and there's a cut wire in your drive and your car is a mess…well…more than it was before."

"HEY NOW! LAY OFF THE CAR!" InuYasha turned red and made a fist at Miroku.

Miroku just backed away. "Dude…you know I was joking!"

InuYasha sighed and sat down on his couch. Miroku followed his lead and sat down next to InuYasha.

"So…what happened?" Miroku asked again.

"I…I don't know…after the phone went dead I heard some noise as if someone was outside. So I checked it out and saw that the telephone wire was cut and that they destroyed my car."

"Did you call the police?"

"OF COURSE I CALLED THE POLICE! What do you think I am, stupid?"

Miroku stared at him.

"Don't answer that. Anyway…so I get back inside and CALLED the police. And that's where you come in…the door that is." InuYasha got up and went over to the counter where the broken mug was. Sometimes he wished he wasn't so strong. InuYasha bent down to pick up the shards off the floor but stayed down. He felt a chill run up his spine, as if someone was watching him. He spun around to see if anyone was there. The coast was clear but InuYasha smacked his head on the cabinet.

"You ok over there!" Miroku jumped up after hearing the loud thud.

"Yeah…I'm fine…" InuYasha said in pain.

Miroku laughed. "Man…you seemed much more put together when Kagome was here."

Yeah…I was. I really wish she didn't have to get her memory back. InuYasha thought to himself as he got up.

Moments later there was another knock from the door. "HELLO! Breezeville police department, open up!"

"Are you ok my dear?" Gigi asked while setting the grocery bags down on the countertop in the kitchen. She had just arrived moments after Sesshomaru left. Kagome was still standing by the counter as when Sesshomaru was still there.

"Oh Gigi!" Kagome threw herself onto her maid and began to sob.

"Honey! It'll be ok…please tell me what's wrong? Is it Sesshomaru again?" Gigi tried to comfort.

The only thing Kagome could let out were cries. Gigi held Kagome out in front of herself and wiped away Kagome's tears. "I'll tell you what, how about I make you a cup of tea and we can sit down and talk."

Kagome nodded her head and sat down in one of the dining room chairs. Gigi went the rest of the way into the kitchen and started boiling the water. Once the tea was done, she carried out two cups and set one in front of Kagome. She gratefully accepted it and took a sip.

"So what seems to be the trouble sweetie?" Gigi asked, taking a sip from her tea.

Kagome set down her cup and tried to calm herself down to talk. "I really don't know what's going on. I'm so confused."

"How so?"

"You know I love Sesshomaru and I always will…or at least I think so. You see…I've been having this strange feeling lately that there's some other guy involved in my life who I love more than my fiancé. I don't know what to do. In my mind I know I love him, but my heart is mixed up. Who is this other guy that I supposedly have a connection to? How did I get this was in the first place? I mean, everyone at work was more supportive and nice than usual." Kagome sat back in her chair and sighed.

"Do you know if it has anything to do with your new guy friend, InuYasha?" Gigi asked.

Kagome raised an eyebrow. "InuYasha…who's he? Do I know him?"

The maid sighed. "Looks like I have a lot of explaining to do. Let's see…sometime ago you went on a boat ride with your friend Shippo, who unfortunately died, and you were knocked unconscious. A gracious gentleman found you and took care of you, though you had amnesia. Only a matter of days ago did you get your memory back. That gentleman who took care of you was InuYasha. You two seemed very fond of each other. And you wanna know something else?" Gigi leaned in close to Kagome as she leaned in close too. "I seriously think that you and In—" Before Gigi could finish her comment the front door swung open, making a loud noise.

"There's that bitch!" A young woman said while standing the doorway.

Quickly, though in pain, InuYasha walked over to the door to let the police in. The police buzzed right passed him and went straight to Miroku.

"You there! You are under arrest! You have the right to remain silent, whatever you say can and will be used against you in a court of law." An officer said while hand-cuffing Miroku.

"HEY! WAIT A MINUTE!" InuYasha yelled out. "He's with me! He didn't do anything!"

"Did you report a disturbance?" Another officer asked.

"Uh…yeah!"

"Well then, let us do our job. We are sorry for this inconvenience, we'll get this punk out of here for you."

"YOU CAN'T DO THAT! MIROKU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!"

"Sorry sir, orders are orders."

Miroku didn't say anything while they took him out of the house. InuYasha ran after them but it was too late. They had already driven off with his best friend. InuYasha punched the ground and walked back inside.

Not only did he lose the best thing that ever happened to him, his best friend was arrested for nothing. Anger was catching up with him, and fast. There was nothing left for him.

Thought filled with intense anger, InuYasha still felt like someone was watching him. As he walked across the living room, he looked around carefully just incase someone was really watching him. But before he could sense or figure out, a sniper shot came in through the window and hit InuYasha. He fell over and didn't move.
