Chapter 12 Illusions, New Life, And The Stowaway

Her words came to his ears like she was yelling. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. There was a girl tied up in the room Miroku had sent him in- Miroku! He kidnapped this poor defenseless girl! How could he! After I specifically told him that I wasn't-

"Did you here me? Untie me right now Inoku!" Her determination was building back up.

Inuyasha stood there frozen. He suddenly snapped out of it. I know...I'll untie this girl and take her back to where she came from. Her scent tells it all and I know exactly how to get there!

He bent down. She turned her back and he untied her hands. He grabbed her shoulders and turned her around to face him.

"Girl! Listen up, I'm-"

"Kagome." she said.

"Huh?" said Inuyasha completely confused.

"My name is Kagome." said Kagome.

"Ka-go-me." he said transfixed. He shook his head. "Doesn't matter I'm going to to take you back home so you need to be quiet. I'll-"

"Heh, yeah right. That's a good one."

"What?"

"You're the one who kidnapped me in the first place Inoku!"

"What are you talking about? I've never seen you in my life! And who the hell is Inoku?"

"You are, moron! What, do you have amnesia now or something?"

"Look. My name is Inuyasha. You got that?"

"Inuyasha?"

"Yes. Now I'm going to take you back home so I need you to be quiet."

"What! You're taking me home! That's mmmmm"

Inuyasha covered her mouth with his hand. "Didn't I just say I needed you to be quiet? He whispered in her ear. He grabbed her hand and led her out the door. "Come on let's go."

They ran down the hallway and up the stairs and stopped. They had made it to the ships deck.

The sky is dark blue but the moon...its position! If I'm right then I have only a couple minutes til midnight! I'd better hurry! thought Inuyasha. Only thing is Sesshoumaru is probably out looking for me now! What should I do? I know I'll take one of the fishing boats! Now I just have to be quiet.

"Girl...uh...Kagome." whispered Inuyasha.

"Yes?" Kagome whispered back.

Inuyasha turned around and bent down slightly. "Here get on. I'm gonna jump over there."

Kagome thought on it a little. Oh I get it! He's going to use those boats to take me home! I'm really going home I can't believe it! I'm so happy I could-

"Hey! Could you hurry it up!" Inuyasha said trying not to yell but failed miserably.

"Okay. Just hold on." said Kagome climbing on Inuyasha's back.

Alright! Time to get out of here! Inuyasha looked right and left. It's clear. Here I go! Inuyasha bent his knees even further and got ready to spring up in the air...

"Inuyasha what are you doing? You couldn't possibly be thinking of running away would you?" said a voice Inuyasha didn't want to hear.

Inuyasha fell on ass and so did Kagome.

"Ouch! What are you trying to do Inuyasha kill me!" yelled Kagome.

"Shit! Shut up!" yelled Inuyasha.

Sesshoumaru's face faltered and he started to frown. It can't be! "Inuyasha who is that?" asked Sesshoumaru.

Kagome got up. "My name is Kagome and I wish to go home!" she yelled.

This girl is an idiot! You just don't yell at Sesshoumaru! Inuyasha got up standing in front of her.

"I can't believe you actually went and kidnapped a woman. Your stupidity amazes me." said Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru walked around Inuyasha and examined Kagome thoroughly. "She's just an ordinary human girl. Wait." he said looking into her eyes. She's a miko. She might prove to be useful.

"You actually did something worth while Inuyasha." said Sesshoumaru.

"Shut up! I'm taking Kagome home and then we can get my death over with." said Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha I'm afraid its too late for that. According to this watch it's 12:05 AM."

"What!"

"Congratulations on your wife and your New Life, Little Brother." said Sesshoumaru as he turned and left.

"Dammit!" yelled Inuyasha.

There was a long silence.

Kagome decided to break it. "Well if your finished cursing yourself can I go home now?"

"Are you stupid? You can't go home, Sesshoumaru saw you." said Inuyasha.

"Who cares! Just take me home already!" yelled Kagome.

"Believe me, I would if I could but now its hopeless. You see...Sesshoumaru is the leader of The Shikon No Tama Clan. Our clan wouldn't have last long the way it was going, so my father made a rule that age 18 members of the clan had to kidnap a woman or man and make them their mate. If they failed to do this they were killed. Sometimes the captives would escape and the clan member would just have to kidnap another person."

Kagome was speechless.

"After my father died Sesshoumaru took over and changed the rules a little. If the captive escaped the entire clan was to go after them and kill every living thing related to the captive."

"So the rumors were true." Kagome said horrified.

"Now you know why you should care that Sesshoumaru saw you and why you can't go home now." said Inuyasha.

Kagome couldn't believe her ears.

"Come on, I'll take you to my house." said Inuyasha.

They got off the ship and walked into Inuyasha's house on the island. Inuyasha walked into his room and took some blankets from his closet and set them on the futon in the living room. He walked back into his room and called for Kagome.

"Yes?" she asked.

"You can sleep in here from now on. Good night."

"Inuyasha? Is it really hopeless? Is there nothing I can do?" she asked.

"If there was I would of told you already. I was ready to die so that I wouldn't have to see another human suffer. Believe me if there was a way to get you out of this I would have done it." said Inuyasha.

"You make it sound like your so innocent when you're the one that kidnapped me." said Kagome.

"Like I said I didn't kidnap you. I just met you tonight." said Inuyasha.

Kagome didn't waste time responding back to Inuyasha. She was too mad at Inuyasha, too mad at Inoku, too mad at herself for taking the dare. Now it would seem that she would live to regret this entire event for the rest or her life.

Inuyasha didn't waste time standing at the doorway of his use-to-be room he left for the couch in the front of the house praying for an unending sleep.
