The Bruised and the Healed
By: S.A.M.
If you happened to be in the streets of New York late one night, you might have caught glimpse of a 2005 Harley Davidson, speeding through the night.
Kagome's hair blew behind her. All she wanted to do was get home. 'You should have kissed him' one part of her mind scolded. The other disagreed 'No, leaving was the right thing to do'
Kagome cleared her thoughts and focused on getting home. She looked at her watch '1:30 a.m.' she thought. 'DAMMIT'.
She pulled over into a parking lot. She took out a small red walkie-talkie and pressed a button on it. "Sota, Sota do you read me, over." She spoke into the walkie-talkie.
An answer came shortly "Yeah I'm here, where are you? Over" he asked.
"I'm about to get home, is Christie home yet?" she asked. No answer.
She rolled her eyes. "Over" she said into the walkie-talkie.
"Yeah she is, over."
"I need to talk to her, over"
"SHE CAN'T FIND OUT YOU STAYED OUT THAT LATE! Over"
"Lower your voice Souta! Don't you think I know that?" she said impatiently.
"Now here's what I want you to do………"
B&H
Kagome stopped her motorcycle and walked towards her house. She put her motorcycle in the garage and went into the backyard.
She walked into her backyard as quietly as possible. 'They wake up and I'm screwed' she silently cursed and reached her destination; A tree that led to her windowsill. She climbed onto it and went into her room to find Souta lying asleep on her bed. Smiling, she pecked him on the cheek before changing into her Pajamas.
Quietly and quickly, Kagome made her way into the kitchen for a cup of cocoa. Christy was there. "Hey Christy" Kagome said casually.
"Hey Kagome"
There was a strange pause. Christy broke the ice.
"How've ya been?"
"Bad"
"Why?"
"Because Ray tried to do something"
Christy glanced at Kagome. "Alright come on" she said motioning for Kagome to follow her out the door. The two went until they were in the backyard's swing set.
"Sit down" Christy said taking her own seat.
"Now what's this about Ray trying something?"
Kagome looked at her step mother and took a deep breath.
"He tried…he tried to…rape me" she said, her voice a little above a whisper.
Christy looked at her, and Kagome continued. "I came home…Sota was in Karate…I was wearing a skirt…and…" Kagome broke into tears right there and then. Christy hugged her uneasily and tried to comfort her. Kagome calmed down after 20 minutes and looked up at Christy.
"What are you going to do about it?" Kagome asked silently.
"I-I-I can't do anything." Christy replied. Kagome stared at her unbelievably. "I'm...I'm going to bed" she said, and ran into the house.
Christy, meanwhile, was left to think about what she had done with her life.
B&H
InuYasha stared at Kagome uneasily as she made a pizza. The young girl had her hair tied up and was putting a large amount of cheese on a pepperoni pizza.
Fearful of what she'd do with the pepperoni, InuYasha left the pineapple pizza he was making and grabbed Kagome to face him.
"Hey Kagome?" he said as she faced him. "Yea"
"You're putting too much cheese on the pepperoni," said InuYasha, pointing to the pizza.
Kagome flushed a little. "Shut up" she said, turning around. Inuyasha simply caught her arm and turned her around again. "Are you OK?" he asked innocently. Kagome looked at his amber eyes and her thoughts were telling her so many different things at that moment.
Instinct; KISS HIM!
Rationality; NO, DON'T KISS HIM! TELL HIM ABOUT WHAT CHRISTY SAID!
Instinct; KISS HIM!
Girl sense; HARD TO GET!
Instinct; KISS HIM GODAMIT!
Rationality; NO, STOP BEING SUCH AN IDIOT! TELL HIM ABOUT CHRISTY!
Instinct and Girl Sense; HE LIKES YOU AND YOU LIKE HIM, NOW KISS HIM!
Girl sense and Rationality; THE ONLY WAY SHE'LL GET HIM IS TO PLAY HARD TO GET!
Kagome shook her head and looked up at InuYasha.
"Not exactly." She replied coolly.
"What, why!" he asked immediately.
"Because…" she sighed, taking a breath. "Because I told Christy about what happened"
Inuyasha nodded understandingly.
"And she said…"
"She said there was nothing she could do about it"
Inuyasha's thoughts and pulse went fast.
Instinct; YELL
Rationality; No, don't yell.
Guy Sense; exactly, don't yell; it would ruin the moment.
Instinct; you're mad…YELL!
Guy Sense; kiss her you freak…look at her lips…luscious huh…
Rationality; Are you PSYCHO! First, not the right opportunity and second, do you want to ruin your friendship?
Inuyasha shook his head in frustration.
"She said she couldn't help!" Inuyasha asked.
"Yes, and I'm pissed! I have to do something! That fucking bitch is gonna try it again!" Kagome exclaimed.
"Calm down" said InuYasha. "Calm down, if we rush things it's only gonna make things worse. What we could do is…"
What InuYasha was going to say, Kagome never knew, for then, she got a call that was going to change the course of things as she had known for so long.
