Chapter 7: To the rescue...
He opened the door at the far end of an alley way for her, The door to Inuyasha's pub. The room inside would look eerie and dull to a regular person, but to Kagome it looked like a treasure trove.
"I'm sorry Kagome. It's not the greatest, but..." Inuyasha trailed off, he told Kagome it was a really great place, when she lived at a palace, he was stupid to bring her here. His thoughts were interrupted when she walked in past him through the door.
"This is splendid, Inuyasha!" She squealed, Turning around to face him. "It must be so fun having a pub."
"I guess." He eyed her. "You really think this place is ok?"
"Sure it is! I'm a very simple girl, Inuyasha. You know I love stuff like this." She exclaimed, her smile becoming larger. This made Inuyasha have a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach, a strange feeling that he liked.
"Well.. I'm glad you like it here. This might sound weird.. But would you like a drink? I have other things to drink here other than alcohol." He stared at her, waiting for a response. She giggled.
"A Beer would be fine." She continued to look around. Inuyasha's jaw dropped, Kagome never seized to amaze him.
"Than a beer it is." He said, walking through the various people around the room to get to his counter. He got her a pitcher of Beer, only taking his eye off of Kagome for a moment.
She was looking a t a picture, it looked like a Mother, Father and Son. She smiled at the little hanyou boy in the picture.
'That must be Inuyasha..' she smiled, he was a very cute child.
"Hey, What's a fine specimen such as yourself doing in a dump like this?" She turned around to find a drunk, fat, dirty old man standing behind her, he grabbed onto her arm.
"C'mon love. I'll show you a real good time." He covered up her mouth and pulled her outside and down a different alley way. Her muffled cries for Inuyasha couldn't be heard. He pinned her up against the filthy brick wall and sized her up.
"Mmm, yes. You'll do nicely. My Lord has been looking for a fine wench to be his woman for a while now, but I dare say he wont mind if I have my time with you first. It's not like he wants you for his lover." He let out a hoarse laugh, removing his hand from her mouth to Kiss her.
"Inuyasha.. help me" She whimpered. Her plea for help wasn't very loud, she was afraid to scream for Inuyasha.. She was afraid that this man would hurt her. She gave up, she would have to go along with whatever this dirty man wanted, as long as she didn't get hurt.
Inuyasha's head shot up from pouring up him and Kagome a drink. He sniffed the air, he could smell the salt of tears and a couple of seconds ago he could have sworn he heard someone call his name.
"Kagome?" he looked around. He called a little louder this time but there was no answer. He looked around and didn't see her. He dropped the glasses, which fell to the ground and broke, beer spilling everywhere.
"Kagome!" He yelled, running out the door. Once he was outside, there was at least five alleyways around him.
"Kagome, where are you?" He could smell the salt of tears again, it was strong in the second alley. He charged towards it, seeing the scene in the distance.
"Get off her, lecher!" he screamed. "Blades of blood!" He yelled, sending red, dagger-like attacks towards the man. All Kagome seen was The man, taking his mouth away from hers, his eyes widening as he fell to the ground. Dead. In view now was Inuyasha. Standing there, breathing heavily.
She stared at him, tears rolling down her cheeks. She fainted, falling to the ground
"Kagome" he ran towards her, catching her before she fell on the dead man. He leaped away, back to the palace.
Once they got into Kagome's room, he tucked her thoughtfully in bed. He stayed by her side and wouldn't leave until she awoke. He stroked his finger through her hair.
"I'm sorry Kagome.. I wasn't looking out for you. I should have been more careful..bringing you into a room filled with drunken men. How could I have been SO STUPID!" He tried to control the urge to cry, but he couldn't help but let one tear fall. Kagome looked so pale and helpless in the large bed.
She slowly opened her eyes, seeing the state he was in. She, of course, was frightened to death, however, she was more concerned for Inuyasha's sake.
"Inuyasha.. are you ok?" She asked, lifting a hand to rub one of his ears. He groaned, but shook it off, looking down at her in with a worried face.
"Yes, But why worry about me, Kagome? You are the one who was almost rapped..unless.." His worried look turned pale, he thought he was going to be sick.
"He didn't..did he?" he was shaking with fear and anger. She smiled.
"No, Inuyasha." She laid her head on his lap and cuddled into him. "You got there just in time. I hope that man will be ok."
Inuyasha blushed at her actions, but frowned at her words.
"What do you mean that you hope he's ok? He almost.." he couldn't think about it anymore, it made him sick.
"No, Inuyasha. He was drunk, even you would do horrible things like that if you got drunk and I was around. It's just the way things happen, sometimes nothing can be done." She smiled and closed her eyes.
He looked away from her. 'But something can be done..something has been done.. I killed him. And I'll probably be locked up for it, I used an attack that not many demons can perform.. I'm the only one around here that can use that attack..they'll know it was me..'
he looked down at her and began stroking her head, watching her form a smile. 'They'll probably come for me..and take me away from you.' His eyes flashed red for a moment. 'But no, I wont let that happen, I have to be with you.. I..love you. I wouldn't be able to bare being away from you, Kagome.'
Miyu strolled in through the balcony entrance and stopped, staring at Inuyasha in such a position with his best friend. He began to growl. Inuyasha looked towards the neko youkai.
"Shh, Miyu, be quite! Someone will come!" Inuyasha scolded, watching Miyu leave the room again.
–somewhere else in the palace–
Sesshomaru was reading in bed, when he head a scratching noise by the door. He got up, annoyed and opened it, only to find the little neko youkai standing before him.
"Miyu. What do you want at this time of the night?" Sesshomaru demanded. Miyu squeaked and ran down the hallway towards Kagome's room.
"Hmm, Kagome?" He said, patiently following Miyu.
–Back in Kagome's room–
"Kagome." he lightly shook her shoulder. "Wake up."
"Hmm? Inuyasha, what is it?" she smiled, turning over.
"Inuyasha?" said a voice. She opened her eyes in shock.
"Father!" she said, getting up and bowing her apologies.
"Answer me! who is this Inuyasha?" She didn't know what to say.
"Umm..I..ah?" she was speechless, how can she explain Inuyasha.
"Hmm? Who is it, Kagome. Tell me now, so help me gods!" He demanded as Sesshomaru came in through the door.
"What's the problem here, Kagome? Your neko disturbed me." Sesshomaru explained. She glared down at Miyu, who sheepishly looked away.
"There is no problem here, My Lord. Please, go back to bed and rest, do not let me trouble you." She smiled and bowed. He let out a smug sigh and left the room.
"You still haven't answered me, Daughter." He began to tap his foot, which annoyed the hell out of Kagome.
"Please, Father. He is a character in one of my dreams I sometimes have. He protects me from evil when I sleep." She gave him an innocent smile. "Honest." She crossed her fingers. The King eyed her before sighing, deeply.
"Fine. But don't you think that I do not know that there is something strange going on with you lately. Now, Go back to sleep." He turned around, went out of the, slamming the door on the way out. She sighed and fell back onto her bed, sighing again.
She was startled when a loud 'thump' noise came from inside the room, Kagome sat up and found Inuyasha there.
"Where were you hiding?" she asked.
"Up in the closet." he pointed to the closet beside her bed.
"Oh." was her only reply.
"Where were you hiding?" he asked Kagome, receiving a confused look.
"What do you mean, Inuyasha? I wasn't hiding anywhere?" she replied.
"Well, I apparently don't know the girl before me." he stared emotionlessly at her, she was getting a little scared.
"You heard all of that.. didn't you?" she asked, thinking her secret had come out.
"Hmm.. let's see. Yes. Kagome. I heard everything. You calling the King 'father' kinda gave it away." he said, looking away from her. "Why didn't you tell me? You could have trusted me with the truth." He stated, still looking away.
"I'm sorry Inuyasha. But I thought that if you knew I was a princess, You'd..treat me differently." She felt a tear unwillingly escape from her eye. He looked at her, sensing her sorrow.
He sat down on the bed and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Yeah.. you're right. I would have probably treated you differently. But, Since I now know more about you, I can treat you right." He smiled as she giggled.
"Thank you, Inuyasha. For understanding."
There came a knock on the door.
