Chapter 2: I Let You Down

Inuyasha and Kagome weren't speaking to each other at all. Neither one of them would give in to saying "I'm sorry." Even though that I think we all agree that Inuyasha was in the wrong here. Kagome was really down in the dumps, as Inuyasha observed. Her skin was just as pale as Kikyou's, her once happy chocolate brown eyes were now drained of emotion. She walked like she was of the dead.

Inuyasha on the other hand could care less. If Kagome didn't want to be his friend anymore why should he care? Kagome was the one to start it all, he was just standing up for his girlfriend. He did the right thing right? Kagome deservered what was coming to her right? If this was true then why did he feel so guilty? Wait...he did not feel guilty!...right? OF COURSE NOT! Or did he?
"Inuyasha! Hello! Are you even listening to a word I'm saying?" Kikyou asked aggravated, pulling at Inuyasha's arm.

This of course knocked Inuyasha out of space and he looked down at his girlfriend.

"Huh? What were you saying Kikyou?" Inuyasha asked obviously he didn't listen to a word that came out of her mouth.

"Inuyasha! I feel so neglected," Kikyou whined.

"Oh please, if Inuyasha neglected you, there would be peace in the world, but there being no peace because everyone has to listen to you bitch all day, I would say Inuyasha is not neglecting you," Sango said very displeased.

Miroku just stayed silent, he had no right to but in here. He had said what was needed to be said. It was now Inuyasha's turn to decide, which meant more to him. Love or Friendship. Or maybe even both.

It was finally lunch time, and no one had seen any sign of Kagome anywhere.

"It's already 10 minutes into lunch, where the hell is Kagome-chan?" Sango wondered.

"Maybe she is getting caught up in a lecture from a teacher, teachers do love the sound of their own voices. Why else would they want to talk so much?" Miroku answered.

Sango kept watching the cafeteria doors like a hawk, when she thought about what classes Kagome had and tried to figure out where she went off too. Then realization hit her, Inuyasha had every class with her. Maybe he knew where she was at.

"Hey dog boy, where's Kagome-chan?" Sango asked with a stern voice.

"How the hell am I suppossed to know? I'm not her keeper." Inuyasha said nastily.

"You should know! She has every class with you since the 3rd grade," Sango said just as nasty.

"Inu-chan doesn't care about that stupid wench," Kikyou said all stuck up.

"There is something not right here," Miroku stated.

Inuyasha had been watching the cafeteria doors, the entire time. Kagome was there in 4th period, so where was she now? What happened to her? Most importantly why did he care?

'Because you love her you dolt,' A voice inside Inuyasha's head spoke.

'I do not!' Inuyasha argued back.

'Feh, whatever it's your loss buddy.' The voice spoke last before disappering out of his head.

"Wait a second, where's that wimpy wolf?" Inuyasha asked.

"He didn't come to school today, remember? Or did ya forget?" Sango answered in an annoyed voice.

"Yeah he did, he showed up in 2nd period." Inuyasha corrected.

"Inuyasha...your not thinking that...Kouga..." Miroku questioned.

"Inuyasha why are you even thinking about this? Who cares what Kouga is doing to Kagome. If we are lucky she will be killed," Kikyou butted in.

Sango had just about enough of Kikyou. Forgetting all the things she was told as a kid to control her anger was lost. Sango went up to Kikyou and punched her square in the face.

Kikyou lay on the ground holding her noise, trying to get Inuyasha's attention.

"I feel so much better, I'm glad we had this chat Kikyou," Sango smiled. Miroku just shook his head and smiled too.

Inuyasha wasn't even paying attention to what was going on around him. All he thought about was where Kagome was at, and what could be happening to her.


A/N: I'm going to rewind here a little bit except you are going to be reading with Kagome, and find out what is keeping her.

Kagome's POV

I can't even focus in any of my classes. I can't do this, why did it have to be this way? I look over to wear Inuyasha is sitting, which is 2 rows, diagonally away from me. He looks like he couldn't give a shit. Like he just lost a problem in his life. Was that all I was to him? His problem, that he didn't know what to do with? No that can't be it, or he wouldn't have come to my rescue this morning. Or did he just feel sorry for me, because I'm not as popular as he is, and just wanted to be nice to me for all these years? Urgh...This is soo confusing!

The bell signaling for the end of 4th period finally rang. I glance over at Inuyasha, he glances back. He doesn't even look me in the eye. He just turned away from me like I was invisable. Did Inuyasha hate me that much? Maybe I shouldn't have teased Kikyou this morning. If i didn't known of this would have happened. She was being just as much as a bitch as I was though. Why should I be the one to get punished for this? Why does Inuyasha have to choose her over me? I mean I know I'm not as pretty as her, or popular, rich, but isn't it what's on the inside that counts? Who am I kidding, there are the 3 P's for what every guy is looking for. Pretty, Popular, and Powerful. That's what Kikyou has, me on the other hand, I'm just another face in the crowd.

I started walking toward my locker, no one was in the hallway, everyone had already gone to lunch. Suddenly I was ramed into some lockers by something. When my body crashed against the lockers, pain surged through my body. I feel like my head is about to explode. Aftet the room stopped spinning, I looked to see who it was, my eyes widen in shock, I knew this person. I was about to scream, when my attacker covered my mouth and smiled at me.

"This is not the place to be screaming, If you scream it will only be more painful for you later. Now why don't you be a good girl and come with me quietly?" My attacker spoke in a disgusting voice. I could feel his disgusting hot breath on my neck. He then pushed his cold hard lips to mine, in a rough kiss. I felt so violated, I tried to squrim free of his grip, but he was too strong. He then slammed my head into the lockers again, and my vision got blurry before it all went black.


Authors POV

Kagome's attacker, threw her body over his shoulder, and now was looking for an empty classroom he could take her in so he could have his way with her, without any interuptions. When he finally found one he went inside and placed Kagome on a couple of desks that he had moved together.

He then went and shut the door and locked it, but when he turned around he saw someone he did not expect to be there. There right in front of his eyes was none other then Sesshoumaru.

"Who are you?" Sesshoumaru asked Kagome's attacker.

"This isn't none of your concern," Kagome's attacker answered.

"Yes it is, this is my little brothers friend. I've known her since she was in diapers. I do believe this is my concern," Sesshoumaru calmy stated.

"Heh, Sesshoumaru why do you stoop as low as to protect mere humans?" Kagome's attackers asked in disgust.

"That is where you are wrong, this girl has powers deep within her that just need to be unlocked. So as you could say, this is girl is no mere human. If you want to get to her, you are going to have to go through me first," Sesshoumaru stood in front of Kagome, still very calm.

"Heh, it's not worth my time. I'll come back for the girl later," Kagome's attacker spoke before disappering into thin air.

Sesshoumaru took a glance at Kagome, she had the smell of that guy all over her. Where was Inuyasha? Why wasn't he protecting his friend? Heh, stupid hanyou.What am I going to do with the girl? Sesshoumaru then decided, the first thing to do is ask his stupid hanyou brother, if he knew any of this. What was he going to do with Kagome though? Well she should be fine by herself for a few minutes. Sesshoumaru left Kagome in the empty class room and walked down to the cafeteria.


Back to with everyone else. All now on the same page.

"Hey Dog-turd where's Kagome?" Kouga came out of nowhere.

"She's not here...wait what the hell are you doing here wimpy wolf? And where is Kagome?" Inuyasha snapped.

"If I knew, I wouldn't have been asking you, dumbass." Kouga sneered.

"Kouga, have you seen any sign of Kagome-sama before lunch?" Miroku cut in.

"No, I haven't," Kouga answered simply.

"Heh, so Inuyasha, it was your fault that Kagome was attacked," A voice from the entrance of the cafeteria spoke.

"Sesshoumaru," Inuyasha said under his breath in disgust.

"What are you talking about?" Sango questioned the older demon.

"Well, your miko friend was attacked down the hallway on her way here. She was lucky that I had been in the classroom, that her attacker dragged her in. He escaped though. I have never seen this demon before, but he seemed some what familar," Sesshoumaru answered in a serious tone.

"NANI!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

"Sesshoumaru, where is Kagome-chan?" Sango asked in concern.

"This way," Sesshoumaru answered walking out of the cafeteria.

Kouga was the first one to start following Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru noticing his follower turned around and faced him.

"Kouga, this is none of your concern. I advise you to stop following me." Sesshoumaru said in a warning tone.

"She's my women, it is of my concern, just show me the way dog-crap." Kouga answered with cockiness in his voice.

Sesshoumaru gave Kouga a serious glare, which meant 'Leave or else.' Kouga just stood his ground and smirked.

"Kouga-kun!" A girl with red hair screamed.

"What Ayame?" Kouga asked with iration in his voice.

"I need to talk to you about our science project," Ayame answered sweetly.

"Can't it wait till later?" Kouga asked.

"No it can not!" Ayame answered while dragging Kouga away.

Sesshoumaru then looked to the others, "Are you coming or not?"

"Yeah, I'm coming. Miroku, Inuyasha?" Sango questioned.

Miroku gave her a nod. As for Inuyasha he was already up ahead walking with Sesshoumaru. Sango and Miroku ran to catch up with them.

Sesshoumaru led them to the class room Kagome was in, she was still unconscious. Sango looked at her best friend, concern filled her eyes, and she covered her mouth, muffling her gasp.

'How could this have happened?' Sango asked in her head.

Miroku didn't know what to think, or to say. He was just stunned.

Inuyasha couldn't take his gaze off of Kagome. He stepped closer to her.

'Ew. Whoever attacked her, his stench is all over her.' Inuyasha thought to himself.

Inuyasha picked Kagome up wedding style and sat her up in his lap on the floor.

"Inuyasha, why are you in such despair. If you were with her, this wouldn't have happened. It is your own fault that this happened to Kagome. I wouldn't doubt if she was to never speak to you again after this," Sesshoumaru said with seriousness in his voice, before turning around and walking out of the classroom.

'How could this have happened? If I wasn't such an ass this wouldn't have happened.' Inuyasha thought to himself.

"Well, whatever or whoever did this to Kagome-sama, was clearly out to get her," Miroku said very seriously with a stern look in his eyes.

"3 guesses who," Sango said with iration in her voice, and looks that could kill.

"What do you mean Sango?" Miroku questioned.

"I don't know who did this, but I have an idea who arranged this," Sango said in a dangerous voice.

Right on que Kikyou walked in the room, with her little group of snobby friends. Kikyou's nose was still bleeding, she had to hold a tissue to her nose to get it to stop.

"Inu-chan what are you doing in here? And with that bitch? I thought you two were no longer friends," Kikyou said with disappointed tone.

Inuyasha didn't even notice Kikyou or her friends enter. His mind was completely on Kagome.

"Face it Kikyou, Inuyasha doesn't need you. So why don't you just leave, you're not wanted here by anyone," Sango said with a proud grin.

"Pshhhh, like Inuyasha would choose that bitch over me," Kikyou snapped.

"Kikyou, meet exhibit A," Sango pointed out Inuyasha still holding the unconsious Kagome in his arms, not paying any attention to her at all.

"HMPF!" Kikyou turned around head held up high, with her little group of "friends" following her, pissed off.

Inuyasha looked down at Kagome, this was his fault. He wasn't there to protect her.

"Uh..my head.." Kagome groaned.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

"Kagome-chan!" Sango said in concern.

"Kagome-sama, glad to see that your awake." Miroku greeted with a smile.

"Inuyasha..Sango-chan..Miroku-sama, I am glad to see you." Kagome whispered.

"Well of course, you're not going to get rid of us that easily Kagome-chan," Sango smiled.

"Kagome, who did this to you? What happened," Inuyasha questioned.

Kagome looked deep into his concerned eyes, as hers started to well up tears. She couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Kagome-chan you know you can tell us anything, we want to help," Sango reasurred her.

" Please just tell us Kagome-sama," Miroku asked.

"Inuyasha...he stole my first kiss.." Kagome was letting the tears flow freely now. As if she could have stopped them anyway.

'That fucking bastard! How could he do this to Kagome? And her first kiss of all things! What if it had been more then that?' Inuyasha couldn't bare to think what would have happened to Kagome if Sesshoumaru wasn't there.

"Kagome-sama what was his name?" Miroku didn't want to hurt her but they needed to know.

"Naraku," Kagome whispered through her sobs, and she clung tighter to Inuyasha and just cried.

"Sango, why don't you go explain to Ms. Kaede what happened and ask if she can excuse us for the rest of the day. I think it would be best if we took Kagome somewhere where she can rest and we can talk privately." Miroku suggested.

"Okay I'll meet you guys in the parking lot." Sango said as she exited.

Miroku put a hand on Inuyasha shoulder, "C'mon Inuyasha, we can take her to your place if you like."

Inuyasha answered with a nod but kept his eyes on the sobbing Kagome in his arms.

'This is the first time I didn't protect you Kagome. I let you down.' Inuyasha thought to himself as carried Kagome, following Miroku to the parking lot.

Dum dum dum. Who is this guy Naraku? How does Kagome know him? Is there something Kagome is hiding from the rest of them? You'll have to find out next time! Plez read and review!
