Recap:

.:.With Inuyasha.:.

Inuyasha had picked up Naraku's scent as was now racing around town, following it. He refused to stop or slow down for Miroku or Sango, he refused to stop even if he got tired. He would not rest until Kagome was safe within his arms, and that she knew how much she meant to him. He would tell her as soon as he got the chance. He would tell her,

That he loved her.

Trust

Chapter 11- Because of You

Kagome had been sitting on the cold, hard, cement floor for ages. She wasn't even still sure that she had legs. Looking down, she confirmed that yes, the limbs were still attached.

Naraku had left her a long time ago. He claimed he would send Kouga in but Kagome was beginning to think that that was just to scare her, as Kouga still hadn't shown up yet.

Just as she finished that thought, a door on the other side of the room opened and in came Kouga. He looked downcast and apologetic when he met her eyes. Kagome, forgetting she was tied, snarled and went to lunge for him, intending to hurt him. Instead she fell face down on the floor.

Kouga rushed over to help her. Strong arms grasped her biceps, but not for long. As soon as his skin made contact with hers, Kagome flinched and rolled away from him, fear replacing the look of hate in her eyes.

Kouga looked apologetic still, but Kagome was furious again. "What the hell is your problem?" she spat at him.

"I'm sorry." was all he said.

"Sorry? It's kinda late for that, don't you think?" Rage burned in Kagome's eyes. "You didn't look sorry when you did this." she indicated the scars on her neck.

"You weren't sorry when you went to that bastard for help. Your not sorry, your just a selfish bastard who throws a tantrum when he doesn't get what he wants." Kagome had no idea why she was so bold right now.

"Shut up you stupid chit." Kouga snarled.

"Oh, I'm a chit am I?"

"Yes, and you will listen like a good little girl to every word I say or else."

"Or else what?" Kagome taunted him.

!SMACK!

Kagome's head flew to the side as Kouga's strong hand made contact with the side of her head. The force had made Kagome see spots, and only her will to stay upright kept her from sliding down to the floor.

"Now, to show your obiedience, you will sing me a song." Kouga said smugly.

Kagome knew just what song to sing the asshole.

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break, the way you did, you fell so hard
I've learned the hard way, to never let it get that far

Chours:

Because of you I never strayed to far from the sidewalk
Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you I find it hard to trust, not only me, but everyone around me, because of you, I am afraid

I lose my way, and it's not to long before you point it out
I cannot cry, because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh, everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break, when it wasn't even whole to start with

Chorus

I watched you die, I heard you cry, every night in your sleep
I was so young, you should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else, you just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night, doing the same damn thing

Chorus:

Because of you I never strayed to far from the sidewalk
Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you I don't know how to let anyone else in

Because of you I'm ashamed of my life, because it's empty
Because of you I am afraid

Because of you

Because of you...

Kouga snarled and hit her again. Kagome didn't say anything, just stared at the opposite wall as a lone tear fell down her cheek. The tear did not go unnoticed by Kouga. He grabbed Kagome by the arms again and hugged her close.

Kagome stiffened. Kouga noticed and growled. "Relax." he told her, and tried speaking softly to her, but nothing would work. Her finally grabbed her arms and held her away from him. Kagome refused to look at him.

"What the hell is your problem, wench?"

"You."

"What are you? You use to be so...happy and kind. You use to love me, or so I thought." he spat the last part out.

Kagome's eyes, burning with hatred for the man that held her, met Kouga's stunned ones.

"I am what you have made me."

.:.With Inuyasha.:.

Naraku's scent led Inuyasha to a dark, tall, foreboding builing in the middle of downtown Toyko. Although it was brod daylight, everywhere within 10 feet of the building looked like it was the middle of the night.

Inuyasha determinely stepped into the front entrance. Looking around, he saw a desk, but no receptionist. The hallway he was in was gloomy, shabby, unkempt. Trodding lightly, he made his way to a door that was at the other end of the hall. just as he reached the door, Sango and Miroku came in therough the front door.

Inuyusha motioned for them to be quiet and come over to where he was. They did so, surprisingly quiet, he noticed. Carefully, Inuyasha used his sleeve to wipe off some of the grime that covered the window in the door.

From what he could see, the room seemed to be a stairwell. Inuyasha, curious to where it led, opened the door. Stepping into the stairwell, with Sango and Miroku close behind, Inuyasha shut the door, and turned to his two companions.

"Up or down?" Sango asked.

"Down." replied Miroku and Inuyasha. It was obvious; prisoners were always kept in a dungeon, in the basement. They doubted Naraku would be any different then the kings in fairy tales.

Although, the kings in fairy tales never had motion sensors and security cameras in the front halls of their castles.
