Chapter 20! (Finally, out of the teens! Maybe I'll even get to the 30's, hopefully!)
Inuyasha walked into his apartment, thinking about his day, and the woman he loved, who he had just dropped off at the shrine. Promising he'd be back later to keep her company over the night, as her family was out of town.
"How was your day?" Kirara asked from the couch, a book in hand, and a sleeping Heather in her demon form, curled up in her lap.
"It was okay, gave out a couple of detentions, and a couple of F's. So it was pretty good" Inuyasha said, smirking as he picked up the slumbering, light orange fire-cat, and held her cradled in his arms.
"Well, that's all ways good" Kirara retorted sarcastically. "Will you put her down for me?"
"Sure" Inuyasha left the room, as Kirara stood, up and headed for the kitchen to make dinner.
Kirara was grading cheese, when Inuyasha came into the kitchen, and grabbed a pinch from right under her nose.
"Inuyasha! Can't you wait for dinner?" Kirara exclaimed.
"Nope, I'm not staying for dinner, I'm going over to the shrine tonight" Inuyasha said, as he slowly put the cheese into his mouth.
"Oh! That reminds me, Shesshomaru dropped by today, he wants to know who all you're inviting to the wedding. Something about if he and Silver needed concealment charms or not."
"Keh! He don't need 'em, everyone there knows about demons" Inuyasha said, crossing his arms stubbornly, and closing his eyes.
The phone rang, Kirara raised her eyebrow at Inuyasha.
"You gonna get that?" Inuyasha opened one eye to look at her, his I-ain't-doin-nothing stance perfectly clear. So Kirara sighed, ad went into the other room.
"Hello?" She asked, when she picked up the phone, and brought it to her ear.
"Yes, Kirara? This is Mrs.Higurashi, is Kagome there?" Another female voice asked.
"No, Kagome isn't here" Kirara said, confused, why would she be here?
"Oh, is Inuyasha there then?"
"Yes, just a minute" Kirara turned from the phone, and called for Inuyasha.
He came into the living room, and Kirara handed him the phone.
"Who is it?" He asked her.
"Mrs.Higurashi" Kirara replied, as she retreated to the kitchen.
"Hello?" Inuyasha said into the phone.
"Yes, Inuyasha? Did you drop Kagome off at the shrine?" Mrs.Higurashi's sweet voice asked, sounding somewhat confused, maybe even worried.
"Yeah, just about half an hour ago, why?"
"I just called there, and she didn't pick up the phone……. I'm worried, Inuyasha. I have a bad feeling about this."
her worry was starting to infect Inuyasha too.
"I'll get over there, what's your number? I'll call you when I get there" Inuyasha said, grabbing a pen and a sticky note. He jotted down her number real quick, before saying goodbye, and hanging up the phone.
"Kirara!" He hollered.
"What?"
"I have to go to the shrine real quick, I'll be back in a little while"
"Is everything alright?" Kirara asked, sticking her head out the mahogany door, that separated the kitchen and the living room.
"I dunno. Mrs.Higurashi is worried, Kagome didn't pick up the phone. I'll call you when I get there, okay?" Inuyasha said, picking up his car keys, and heading for the door.
"Okay, talk to you then"
The second Inuyasha pulled up to the shrine, he could feel something was wrong. Something in the air told of sorrow, and it was scaring the shit out of him.
Inuyasha ran up the stairs, as fast as his legs could carry him, he didn't run very much anymore, but he could still make it to the top of those stairs in two seconds flat.
And, as soon as he got there, he sniffed the air, and his heart sank, before beating a hundred miles a minute. He could smell her blood. And a lot of it too.
He ran as fast as he could to the door, and found her, passed out, on the ground in the doorway. Blood ozing from her stomache, but she was alive. Thank Kami, she was alive!
He didn't give it a second thought, before pulling her into his arms bridal style, and sprinting for his car, and the nearest hospital.
Okay, angst! I'm sorry! But this just gives it an interesting twist! And, Houjo may have been a little OOC, but for the last week he's seen the woman he loves, being kissed by another guy! So he snapped. Anyway, don't be mad! My friend will when she reads it, but that's okay, I live to irritate her! Anyway, see you next time! - On Fu Fu's Honor!
