Ch3: Cause of you….
"Your soul is mine!" the demon said lifting its paw to kagome, ready to strike her and bring her down. Kagome brought her hands up trying to block off his attack, even though she knew she was a goner…
:I went to far, INUYASHA PLEASE SAVE ME:
"Iron reaver soul stealer!" Inuyasha tore through the demon like it was wet paper.
Kagome was seeing black right as inuyasha came around, and once she heard "iron reaver" she passed out.
"Kagome, kagome wake up please kagome!" Inuyasha's voice was anything but calm, even his face held sheer panic.
He noticed the wound on her wrist and the amount of blood right when arrived.
He tore off the edge of his kimono and wrapped it around the bleeding wound, the blood and kimonos color blended perfectly as he wrapped her wrist frantically, his fingers and hand now blood stained also. With the wound tied tightly he picked her up, and went to take off when he noticed something on the ground shimmering against the moonlight, he picked it up and took off running with kagome still unconscious in his arms.
Sango saw him coming through the area and when he arrived with kagome in his arms she almost cried seeing her best friend's cloths stained in blood and Inuyasha's hands covered in her blood, Kagomes face was pale white and she was in a kind of cold sweat probably form the loss of blood; her bangs clung to her sweat covered face and she'd flinch every so often, scaring inuyasha half to death.
"Kagome! Oh my gods, what happened to her!"
"She was attacked…."he said although he himself doubted that was what had actually happened as, he held Kagome his fingers were doing the best he could to wrap around the wound and apply pressure in a attempt to stop the bleeding.
It took Sango and inuyasha an hour to control the bleeding and afterwards inuyasha refused to leave her side. He sat against the base of a tree near where she was resting the group was forced to stay in that spot, since inuyasha didn't want to risk moving her and making her injuries any worse.
Inuyasha remembered the shiny thing he picked up and he pulled it out of his jacket, it was caked in kagomes blood, the blood now dry, inuyasha sat examining the it, he determined it was glass and from kagomes time.
He looked over to kagome and back at the glass his eyes widened as a realization struck him, and his gaze remained on kagome.
:kagome, what the hell is going on…:
It was eight hours later when kagome woke up to inuyasha staring at her.
"Hey…" he said with a soft caring smile, one she wasn't all too familiar with, especially on inuyasha.
She was confused and semi unaware of all that happened around her.
Inu...yasha? Kagome asked looking around noticing she was alone other than having the hanyou by her side. She slowly lifted her arm up; she examined the bandage and then sadly looked over to inuyasha, who was staring at her confused and worried.
Why? He asked eager to know, why she'd decided that marring her skin was a good idea.
She looked away attempting to ignore the question, she could feel Inuyasha's eyes burning into her but she couldn't look at him, she couldn't answer him, answering him meant telling the truth, It meant shed have to explain her tortured mind and the pain she went through, and how he was the one who caused I t all. How all she wanted more than anything was wake up by his beautiful face every morning and hear him tell her how he loved her and she would reply back with the same response. He'd probably make fun of her and call her a baka... then again she deserved it, for all the things she'd done, and would do, all the things that lead up to this moment and that this moment would lead up to, what did he care. Her mind reeled with a way to justify what she did, some way to answer without his response to be "u baka"or "what's wrong with u …"
"Kagome…." She was snapped out her thoughts as her name had been left hanging in the air, almost like an undeclared threat. Her head snapped towards him, only to receive a slightly annoyed glare. She always could tell when he was getting mad at her, his ears would twitch twice and then once more after a brief pause, and right now his ears were displaying this pattern about every twenty seconds.
"Where are the others?" She asked trying to change the subject, but to no prevail.
"theres a village nearby that needed help, and don't change the subject…" Inuyasha said sternly.
She sat up slowly and Inuyasha made his way to her side quickly.
"What are you doing?" He asked her somewhat frustrated.
"Leave me alone." She said trying to sound annoyed, as she tried to stand up but was only pulled back down by a clawed hand.
"You need to rest…"
"Leave me alone!" She repeated this time with a fiercer anger in her voice.
"No, damn it you're hurt and I'm going to take care of you, and you're going to answer my fucking questions!"
That was her last straw, he demanded so much from her yet never seemed to be willing to give anything back, never able to bend any rules when they fought, to let her slip by unnoticed when she tried to sneak off to go home, to give her a chance to love him…
"What Inuyasha, what do u want to know?"
He held out the piece of glass and her mouth shut tight, her muscles clenched, she became terrified, he knew….he knew everything. She was convinced of that now.
Her voice was nothing but a soft whisper, a lonely and sad whisper, the kind you hear from a desperately hurt person, not a fifteen year old school girl, let alone kagome Higurashi.
"What do u want to know, that u don't already…." She asked as the tears and fear bundled up inside her heart, threatening to explode at any minute, at any slightest remark he could make. The fear of him turning his back on her, thinking she was some sick demented girl was cemented into her mind and it made her want to cry yet she held back her tears in a feeble attempt to be just as tough as the one she loved so much.
"Why. Why would you do this…" He asked gently, gesturing to her bandaged wrist.
Kagome whispered quietly while looking towards the ground, she was loosing the battle to hold back her tears. "Because of you…." She said softly, and almost child like.
Inuyasha's eyes widened, he was the reason that this beautiful creature before him would cause such harm to her body, but why, what did he have to do with any of it…..then again the more he thought about it….what wouldn't he have to do with her…..
"what do you mean because of me?" He asked wanting to confirm what his mind was telling him.
The tears that had threatened to fall finally did, it was then that she felt Inuyasha's fingers under her chin, gently tilting her head up towards him, forcing eye contact between the two as the tears spilled freely from her eyes.
He wiped the tear away with his stray thumb.
"You baka, why would you hurt yourself, what did I do to hurt you so bad?"
She couldn't take it anymore; she flung herself against inuyasha and started crying. At first he was too shocked to react but after a moment his arms wrapped around her and he was whispering things she just wished he meant when he said them.
"It's alright kagome, I'm here now, please…don't cry….tell me what I can do to make you stop this. I hate seeing you hurting, please…please kagome…..just tell me what to do…"
Kagome looked up to inuyasha with tears in her eyes. "Never leave me…..love me like you love her…."
It took a mere nano second for those words to register in his mind as his eyes widened.
"Kagome…."
