Disclaimer: No I still don't own Inuyasha but I really wish I did. Ha ha ha I want to thank TisSexyQueen04, Hanyou-elf, and KagomeGoddess92 for their reviews. I am sorry that it took so long to update but I had a lot of stuff to do so now on with the chapter.
Giving up, or Moving On?
Ch 5 Telling the Truth
Inuyasha led Kagome over to the couch and told her to explain more about what was going on. "Well," Kagome started. "It all started around the time my little brother was born. My father got really angry all the time. He would hit my mom and she would cry all night long." Kagome paused for a second while a memory came flooding back.
--Flashback--
A young Kagome is sitting in the living room watching her mom get beat. She hid behind the couch so her dad wouldn't see her. She could hear her mom yelling for her dad to stop but he wouldn't. It went on for hours, yelling slapping, crying. Thats how it was in her home. Kagome lay down and cried herself to sleep.
--End Flashback--
Inuyasha noticed the pause and sat down right next to Kagome. "It's ok," He whispered to her. "I'm here for you now so you won't have to go back to him anymore." She looked up at him and smiled. She looked into his deep golden eyes, and they seemed to suck out her soul. 'There so beautiful,' she thought before getting pulled back to reality by Inuyasha saying her name softly.
"Kagome are you O.K?" he asked her softly. She looked down and nodded slightly.
She said, "Yes I am, now anyway, thank you Inuyasha," and started again. "Well when my brother got a little older it only got worse. My dad thought she wasn't paying attention to him anymore because of the kids. One day when I got home from school my mom was gone. I went upstairs to look for her but she wasn't there. I saw my dad come home and he told me that she had left. That she also took my younger brother with her...and she wasn't coming back."
She looked up at him again close to tears. She was holding back, trying not to cry. Inuyasha looked at her with sympathy in his eyes. "Oh, Kagome if you had told me sooner I would have done something about it before now. We can call the police, have him arrested."
"NO!" Kagome said quickly. "If we do that then I will be sent to a foster home. I don't want to go someplace that I don't know anyone there." She told him. She looked down and tried not to cry. 'Don't cry,' she told herself. 'Come on don't cry,' But she couldn't hold back. She threw herself and started to sob into Inuyasha's chest. "Oh Inuyasha I'm so scared. I don't know what to do now."
He wrapped his arms around her to comfort her the best he could. "Shh Shh Kagome don't worry about it we will figure something out." He stroked her back lightly to calm her down. "Come on Kagome, Lets go upstairs you can lay down on my bed for a while. You need rest." It was more a statement then a suggestion. He said it as if she had no choice.
She looked up at him and nodded, suddenly noticing how tired she was. Inuyasha led her upstairs to a room that was clearly his. It was a good-sized room with deep red walls and a king size bed next to the window that had black, unmade sheets. There was also a big recliner in the corner with long shag carpet on most of the floor, which was also red. "Go on Kagome, lay down," he told her so she went over to the bed and got in. She looked over at Inuyasha and he just smiled a sweet smile at her. "Go on, go to sleep." She lie down in the bed and put her head on the big fluffy pillow. She smiled at Inuyasha again before closing her eyes. As soon as her eyes closed she was asleep.
Inuyasha went over to the bed and pulled the covers up to her chin, "Sleep well Kagome" he whispered softly.
Inuyasha walked across the room and sat down in the chair on the other side of the room thinking about Kagome. 'What am I supposed to do about her. I can't send her away but can she stay here? Of course she can, but what about her dad? Will he try to look for her?'
He watched her sleep for a little while before noticing how tired he was. He looked at the clock that was hanging on the wall and noticed that it was almost 3 a.m. 'Damn it got late fast. I wasn't even watching the clock...I wonder if she will care...' he thought to himself. He sat there contemplating on if he should do what he was thinking.
After a minute he decided to just go and lay down with her. He wasn't going to do anything anyway, not to mention the fact that it was his bed...and his house. He walked over to the other side of the bed and sat down. He looked at her again before getting up again. 'It just doesn't seem right to me...' he thought as he looked around the room. 'I know what I can do,' he thought so he went over to the closet and opened it. On the top shelf was an extra blanket that he would use. 'This way we won't be under the same blankets at least.'
He walked back over to the bed and sat down again. He made sure Kagome was covered up and covered himself with the blanket from the closet. After looking at Kagome for a second he finally lay down. Now that he was so close to her he could really smell her. She smelled so pretty...like lilac blossoms. She was beautiful smelling. He took a deep breath and finally fell asleep.
The two people were sleeping soundly when Kagome started to stir. She was having a normal dream of her father abusing her. She was crying in her sleep. Tears streaming down her cheeks to the pillow. Inuyasha automatically started to comfort her in his sleep. He wrapped his arm around her where she was sleeping and pilled her back against his chest. "shh shh," he said to her in his sleep. She started to calm down instantly.
Kagome opened her eyes a little to see that she was in Inuyasha's room still. She could feel something warm against her back but she was too tired to think about what it really was. She snuggled back into the warmth and fell asleep again. The two of them slept peacefully for the rest of the night.
O.K. people, I did revise this chapter because it just wasn't that good to me. It still isn't but O well. Originally I had the chapter up that I wrote at school. I only had 30 minutes so it was rushed and bad. When I got home I redid it so now I hope it is better for all you people.
I'm trying my best to be slower and put more details in the story but I don't know I just don't have the patience to think about it that much.
So now all that's left is for you to review. It's not hard, really it isn't.
