Chapter 11:
"Kagome…I swear, I'll protect." Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her waist, "I swear nothing will happen to you. I will not leave you behind." She smiled as tears of joy sprang from her eyes. She needed to hear that… especially since, this whole time she thought he only cared for Kikyo, "And what about Kikyo?" His arms tightened around her, "There's no doubt in my mind that I love her… but you cried for me. For the first time, someone else actually cared if I lived or died." Kagome replied by wrapping her arms around him, "I do owe my life to Kikyo…. But until that time, I'm staying with you." He leaned down and kissed her passionately on the lips, "I love you, Kagome." She happily accepted the kiss and returned it. "Kagome, I want you." Inuyasha's kisses drifted down to her neck and to her collarbone, "I need you." Kagome felt Inuyasha's hands creep up her shirt, "Kagome, please let me take you. So no one else will."
Kagome's heart began to race. She loved Inuyasha, no doubt that she loved him. However she was only 16, but then it hit her. Kikyo. Inuyasha and Kikyo were together before, so that means that they must have. Kagome's hatred for her only grew, I want you to forget about her, "Yes." Inuyasha raised his head to face Kagome, "Yes." She repeated. He smiled and kissed her on the forehead. Then took her in his arms again and laid her down on the fresh grass beneath them. He removed his shirt in a flash and was on top of her. Kissing her gently. Kagome closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. She ran her fingers through his hair. Something seemed off. Instead of smooth silk like strands, she felt rough tangled locks. Her eyes snapped open, no silver… No white once so ever, instead purple….
Lavender… She could feel her heart almost stop, panic rang through her entire body. She pressed her hands against his chest, "No get off!" Kagome finally distanced herself enough to see his face. It wasn't Inuyasha. No ears. In fact his whole entire face had changed. Naraku. His eyes flickered in pleasure. He smirked as he took her wrists and put them above her head.
"NO, Get off! Let me go," She struggled and twisted underneath him, "Inuyasha! Inuyasha!"
Naraku grinned, "He's not coming for you." He leaned in close to her ear, "He's to busy with Kikyo."
Tears swelled up in Kagome's eyes, "No… no… NO!" She closed her eyes, "Don't say that!"
Naraku put his mouth to hers to silence her. Not gentle in anyway, but demanding and controlling. Kagome screamed as his tongue entered her mouth. God, he's going to rape me! She kicked her legs beneath him, trying to hit any weak spots. Her attempts failed, she could fell him chuckle. His tongue brushed up against hers, in shock she quickly bit down. Blood splashed onto her lips as she felt him pull away. She opened her eyes to see blood dripping down from Naraku's mouth, he took one hand that was already preoccupied in trying to hold down her wrists and slapped her across face "That's going to cost you." He taunted lowering himself down again. Go away- His mouth went close to hers, he licked the blood on her lips. An unpleasant sensation charged through her body, she didn't want this. In panic Kagome's legs flew up kicking him. Proving once again to be useless. Inuyasha! Inuyasha! Please! Why aren't you here?
Sesshomaru woke up to find he had fallen asleep in his study. Papers lay scattered across his desk, of maps and plans. He brushed them to the side. Imagining how he fell asleep with the mess. Not to mention that girl. His plans had backfired on him, Inuyasha was to come here and give him the Tetsusiaga. After that he planned to kill them both. He put his head in his hand, "This was not what I planned." He abruptly stood up, "Fine. I'll just end it right now." He grabbed his Tokujin that was propped up against the wall in the corner. Leaving the room he marched down the hallway. Passing Rin's room, hearing her silent snores and constant shuffling. He could feel his sword shaking in his hand. Excited that it would finally drink the blood of a human. It longed for the taste of flesh, in particular the blood of a young woman. Sesshomaru griped it tighter when he reached Kagome's room. What he heard surprised him. Moans and near silent screams. He kicked the door open searching for the problem. Assuming that Kotaro had sent assassins.
He and Kagome were the only two in the room. Walking to the bed he stood beside it, staring down at Kagome. Her face pale, her expression pain and sweat ran down her face. Her black hair spread out across her face. He sighed, "Humans and their so called Night mares." He himself had never experienced one, he hardly ever slept. As far as dreams goes, he had very few. He raised his sword to her neck, "You are too much of a pest, it's better if I just destroy you now." He kept his position for a moment, feeling his sword pulling itself closer to Kagome's neck. Sesshomaru hastily pulled it back down to his side, it glowed in protest. He growled in frustration, he couldn't do it. This angered him. He had killed humans before, men, women and children. So why was he unable to kill this girl? How could this girl affect him so much that he couldn't even raise his blade against her? He growled again and threw his sword to the side. He fell into the chair beside the bed. He wanted so bad to straggle her in her sleep but managed to control himself.
Kagome's moaning continued, and she began to toss and turn. The blankets were tightly held in her hands. Words mumbled out of her mouth. He leaned over closer to the bed only inches from her face, "Inuyasha… Help me…" She whispered painfully. Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed, another growl came up his throat. So it is HIM How tired he was about hearing that name. He stood up and walked to his sword. He picked it up and placed it in his belt, then walked to the door. But what he heard stopped him in his tracks, below a whisper but with his ears he heard it clearly, "Someone…. Help me…." He was shocked, she had no longer cried out for Inuyasha. Sesshomaru glanced over his shoulder, he had never seen her look so helpless.
Naraku's hands slide up Kagome's shirt, she screamed but his covered up her mouth again. More tears sprang from her eyes, with one of her free hands she slapped him across the face and used the other one to push him away. He smirked, "That almost hurt, you wench." He slapped her back, her head went off to the side. Kagome moaned in pain, Inuyasha… Why won't you come? An image of him and Kikyo came into her mind she managed to shake it out of her head. No he wouldn't She was thrown out of her train of thought when she felt Naraku start to feel her up again. Kicking, screaming, struggling all failed… She wondered if she should just give up. I can't over power him. Her body ached, every muscle in her body was sore. Kagome took a deep breath and relaxed. Naraku felt her give in, he grin and replied, "It will be over soon." He kissed her on the neck and moved downward. Kagome stomach was uneasy, this was just too much. She wanted to throw up, again she closed her eyes. Letting her tears fall down her cheek. His claws slashed through her shirt, he felt her jump in surprise. His lips roamed her entire chest, Some one please… Help me! Suddenly Naraku ripped himself off of Kagome. Kagome opened her eyes, she saw someone standing over her. With his sword drawn and pointed at Naraku. When she finally took in what she was seeing her eyes widened. Her savior was the last person she thought of. Long silver hair, piercing amber eyes and rage spread across his face. Naraku smiled, "Lord Sesshomaru, you surprise me." Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed never leaving Naraku's, "You were the last person I expected to see here."
"Naraku, I never thought you'd sink this low. Does your human heart lust for Kikyo that badly, that you'd target her reincarnation?" Sesshomaru replied, "But that's were you made your first mistake. Targeting my property!" Sesshomaru launched his sword toward Naraku, who only disappeared into a black fog. Sesshomaru returned his sword to his hip and turned back to Kagome. She was still crying and her arms stretched across her chest to cover herself. She was shaking, he smelt her fear. He sighed and offered her his hand, "Come on, let's go." Kagome stared at his hand then back to his face. For once he had a gentle expression. The piercing amber eyes turned soft. She raised one of her hands to his, he took her hand in his and pulled her up. Kagome…
He was knelt down beside the bed, holding her hand in his. "Kagome." The word rolled off his tongue. It felt awkward because it was the first time he had called her by her name, "Kagome." He grasped her hand tighter, he knew that her nightmare had ended. He just had to wait for her to wake up. Then her breathing finally eased and returned to normal. Her eyes slowly began to open. She felt someone else's body heat next to her she turned her head. She saw Sesshomaru, "What are you doing in here?" He didn't answer, just stood up and released Kagome's hand. But soon felt a tug as his hand from behind him, he turned to look at her. Kagome's expression was pained and confused at the same time, "Why are you here?" Sesshomaru stared into her soft chocolate eyes. What was he supposed to say? The truth? "I don't know." Was his answer. He turned away and ripped his hand from her grasp and left the room. Kagome brushed away her tears, with the back of her hand. She sighed heavily and slowly sat up, "I don't…. understand. What just happened?" She turned to the edge of the bed and let her legs dangle off to the side, "He saved me again…. In my dream… Wait my dream. Does it have to do with my dream?" An image of Naraku crossed her mind and how he tried to rape her. She shivered and crossed her arms against her chest, "I… never want to have another dream like that…" Another flash back of her dream came to her mind, how it had been Sesshomaru who had saved her. Not Inuyasha… the one who she called for. "What if…. What if that dream were to come true? Would Inuyasha come to me?" More tears swelled up in her eyes, before she could blink them away, they slide down her cheek.
"He's too busy with Kikyo…"His voice echoed through her head. Kagome put her hands to her hand, "No, no… Shut up…"
"He's not coming for you…"
"No he will! He'll save me from this hell, he will!" Kagome shouted, tears still streaming down her face. "He's coming…. Sango… Miroku and even little Shippo… They're all coming to save me."
"Hmm, then I wonder… What is taking them so long?"
Kagome's eyes widened as she heard Naraku speak again, but it was different this time. It had not been in her dream, it felt like he was in the same room. "I must be going crazy… Why am I hearing this?" Kagome jumped as his voice continued on.
"No, you're not going crazy. You could say that I am here, in this room… with you. Just you are unable to see me… I will be here until Inuyasha comes for you.. and that will be a very long time." Naraku's voice now echoed through the room, "Now… What could be taking them so long… if they were coming they wouldn't been here by now?"
"You were here this whole time? SO you gave me that dream?" Kagome stood up, "You bastard! And-and… The barrier. Sesshomaru put up a barrier enabling anyone to see his castle."
Naraku chuckled, "That barrier has long been down… How do you think I was able to get in? Magic?" He laughed some more, "But I bet you are quite worried about all of them. Poor little Kagome, worried about her companions."
Kagome made a fist with both hands. She wanted him to leave. No die… Yes that sounded much better. She wanted the bastard to die, never to lay eyes on her ever again. She recalled on all the times she had let him live. Instead of shooting an arrow straight through his skull. And having his voice… having to hear his voice here and now… was unbearable, "I'm going to get Sesshomaru." She turned towards the door.
"-sh to see them?"
Kagome stopped not completely hearing what Naraku had said, "What was that?"
"Do you wish to see them?" His voice was clearer and closer. Kagome turned around to find Naraku staring at her. Full body, no longer did she hear just her voice. But now stood face to face with him. Fear spread through her mind and soul. Again she remembered her dream. She slowly backed away towards the door, he remained standing by the window, smirking. "I know you want to… I can show you."
Kagome shook her heard and put her hand on the doorknob, "No, you're lying. I'm going to get Sessho-"
Naraku quickly changed positions and sent his fist flying to the door. Kagome almost screamed but Naraku's other hand covered her mouth, "Screaming is not going to help, it will just anger me even more. And you don't want that. Now as I was saying I will show you your companions if you wish." He slowly began removing his hand from her face allowing her to breath, "You must see what has become of your joyful group, since you've been gone." Naraku removed his hand from the door and leaned him self against a wall. He chuckled, "Oh, if only you could see your beloved Inuyasha's face. Sad, lonely, weak… pathetic face. It's wonderful, if only you would have been kidnapped a lot sooner. I never would have imagined he'd become so weak to be defeated so easily, but with a rage like Sesshomaru's what would you expect?"
Kagome turned around and stared into his crimson eyes, "What do you mean? What happened to Inuyasha?" Kagome asked concerned grabbing onto his lavender obi, "I want you to show me! Show me Inuyasha!" Naraku looked down at the frightened girl. She had guts to command him, but behind her shouting he saw her. Fear still lurking inside her. His eyes shined menacingly, but he grinned, She is so weak and frail…
