Chapter 2: Alive Again.
Morning has come and a ray of light shone on my face. It felt so warm. My body was warm like the heavens have given me a protector who would hold me when I'm sad, lonely, or angry. The warmth spread thought my entire body. I was still tired so I decided not to wake up. I snuggled closer to the warmth on my right, the strongest point. I wrapped my arms around it and it seems to move and held my closer.
I: Inuyasha's P.O.V:
I was like holding something so close to me. I felt it tighten around me so I held it closer. My eyes started to open and I saw a figure. 'Kagome!' I blushed at how close we were…not to mention that we were on the same bed. Her face was on my chest and arms wrapped around me. 'How did we get so damn close?' I wondered. Then I remembered.
Flashback:
Kagome had thought that I was already sleeping and climbed on the bed with me. After a while, like maybe…1 hour later, I heard noises coming from her. They sounder so sad. I knew at once she was having a terrible nightmare. She was sweating a little and her head was turning left to right and back again. Kagome was gripping the blankets like it was her life and kept saying no.
"No! Please don't… Don't leave me…Sotaru…" She said. I was thinking who the hell was Sotaru. She then screamed and started to cry.
"Shit! She's crying. Man, I hate it when girls cry!" I got up and sat on the bed then got her up and set her head on my chest. I didn't even know why I cared so much.
"Don't cry Kagome…" I said.
"Sotaru…" She cried but calming down a bit. I patted and stroked her head till she quieted down.
"Thank you…" She said then drifted off to sleep. I laid her down and kept her close.
End of flashback:
I: Inuyasha's P.O.V: (Still)
Oh that's how we got so close. My hand automatically went to her soft face and stroked her hair out of the way. She started to wake.
"…S-Sotaru?" She said and tightened her grip on my shirt. I blinked and my heart started to pound out of my chest.
'She'll freak when she wakes up to find me instead of that who-ha Sotaru!' I had to get out but I didn't have time.
: Normal POV:
"Sotaru?" I opened my eyes and found myself hugging someone. I thought it was Sotaru…but he died 3 years ago. I looked up and found my Sotaru, Inuyasha. I suddenly felt so wrong and heartbroken.
"I'm…I'm so sorry!" I got out of his grip and ran straight to the bathroom which was on the left of my bed. I felt like crying but thus did not have enough water in my body to cry out. I heard a knock on my bathroom door and Inuyasha came in with a seriously worried look on his face.
"Kagome? Are you ok?"
"…Leave me alone!"
Do you want to tal-"
"NO! I don't wanna talk. Talk about him." Silence was between us.
"Fine! I'll talk. Last night when I went to bed, I realized how much you looked like him, you talked to me like him and your touch was like his. Soft and gentle…"
"I look like him? Wait! How did you know I was holding you?"
"…I guessed."
"Oh…Was he a half demon like me?"
"No…He was human."
"Human… When's the next new moon?"
"Next new moon…is tonight. Why?" I asked curiously.
"No reason…ok meet me,…there at 6 tonight. It's a surprise."
"Ok. At the Goshinboku? Is it there?" I said pointing at the tree.
"Uh…yeah." He replied looking at the Goshinboku.
"Ok! Now I'll go have my boring lessons. Sayonara, Inuyasha!" I said waving at him.
On the way I met with Sango. She said that Miroku was great…sorta but he was a pervert.
"Miroku! You pervert! Don't touch me there again!" Sango shouted and slapped him as he touched her butt.
"Aright my dearest Sango… What about here?" He said about to touch her breast.
"You dick head! I mean hentai! Don't even touch me!" Sango said punching his face into a bloody pulp.
:Later that Night: At the Goshinboku:
I was waiting under the old tree for Inuyasha but he wasn't seen. I saw someone walk pass and I so damn thought it was Sotaru. That person finally came out and my eyes widen so damn large.
"So-Sotaru?" I whispered. I ran to him and ran into his arms. I felt safe seeing him again…but he can't be here! He's…dead.
"Kagome…I'm not Sotaru." The man stated.
"…Inuyasha?" I smiled.
"Yes but you seen to truly love this Sotaru, so I guess I can be him for tonight. Only tonight…"
"But how? I mean…how can you look so much like him? You're like his twin or something. And…thank you…" He just simply smiled at me.
We sat under the Goshinboku and he held me to his chest. I soon forgot about him as Inuyasha but thought only of Sotaru.
"Sotaru?…"
"Hmmm?"
"I wanted to tell you this before you went on your mission three years ago but I never got the chance. Sotaru, I didn't want you to leave me. So please…please I beg of you that you not leave me once again for I felt pain and sadness. I think of you every second of my life. You are me world. Sotaru…I love you." I cried and hugged his haori tight.
'I've never seen her so sad before… Ha! Well duh! I've only met her yesterday.'
"Kagome…"
"Promise me. Promise me that you'll never leave me again! I can't stand another moment without you!" I wept tears of crystal drops.
'She loved him and he never got the chance to listen. That bastard!' Inuyasha thought.
"Ok Kagome…I promise you. I'll never leave you." He said looking at me. I lifted my head off his chest and slowly made my way up to his lips. There I kissed him. The promise was sealed.
Inuyasha was shocked at first. It felt like a jolt of electricity zapped though our lips the moment they touched. He kissed back.
'What the hell am I doing! I need to kill her but I'm fricken KISSING her! Stupid human feelings!'
'Rustle, rustle…' Then Inuyasha heard rustling within the bushes. He could just see five men surrounding them. He broke the kiss and said, "Kagome go back to the castle!" He actually whispered that.
"Why?" I said needing an explanation.
"Just go! Now!"
"Ok." I was walking backwards to try and find what was wrong but found nothing. Then I saw five gangsters surrounding Inuyasha. I quickly turned around and ran two steps then I bumped into someone and looked up.
"…Sotaru…!" He looked down and saw me then glared.
'Why is she so damn happy? Is…is she Kagome!' Sotaru thought. 'No! She ran away from here after I dumped her.'
I hugged him but I defiantly was still surprised. This man is definitely Sotaru! I saw the bracelet we both wear and the ring also.
'He's alive! After all these years!' I said excitedly in my head.
S: Sotaru's POV:
She hugged me. A hug with so much love and emotion. But still, she has betrayed me three years ago. She cheated me. Cheated with a bastard named Naraku. I was furious that day so I made Bankotsu send her a lie letter. I told her I was 'dead'! I then left and was made boss of a gang.
'Oh my little Kagome. I see you're cheating again! With a guy who looks like…me?' I thought in surprise. 'This time though you can die cheating!'
N: Normal POV:
It felt so right with him. I was gonna tell him exactly what I told Inuyasha's human form but then…
'STAB!' Blood spurted out and I screamed so loudly, the sleeping birds woke and flew away. My breathing, I was lacking. I desperately need some air.
"Sotaru…why?…" I felt dizzy.
"Because you cheated on me three years ago Kagome!" He shouted. He stabbed me in the right lung. Luckily not my left cause that's where my heart was.
I hung onto him.
"I didn't…" I said shaking my head. I was loosing so much blood…I could feel it flowing down to the ground.
"Yes you did! You cheated on me then and still!" He pulled me up and slapped me hard on the cheek. I fell straight to the bloody ground. I heard Inuyasha calling out for me, to keep breathing and stay awake. But soon I lost my conscious and feel unconscious.
S: Sotaru's POV:
'Serves that bitch right to die!…Then why do I feel so…bad about it?'
"Sotaru? What happened to Kagome?" One of the guy's Bankotsu asked.
"I stabbed her" I said simply.
"She's cheating again."
"But the last time I saw her…she looked different. She smelt different and all. That wasn't Kagome. And I came to tell you that Kagome wasn't the one who cheated. It was Kikyo. Her cousin who visited the castle." Bankotsu ran over to the lain Kagome and retrieved the knife I inserted in her right lung.
"What are you saying? Kagome DID cheat on me! And so deserves to DIE!" I yelled.
"That Kikyo woman didn't have the ring and bracelet right? You saw and asked me why she didn't have then on when she promised to never EVER take them off. But this Kagome does." Bankotsu said laying Kagome on her wounded back.
"…" I looked over to her left arm and I saw the ring and bracelet we shared. But the thing is I've never met this Kikyo bitch!
"Who's Kikyo?" I asked to no one in particular.
'Kikyo!' Inuyasha thought.
"Kikyo was killed! Killed by…Naraku!" 'But of course he didn't I did.'
"So this IS Kagome?" I asked. Everyone nodded. They've known Kagome as the sweet, kind and loving princess. Not a cheater I claimed her to be. Nobody believed me when I told them she cheated on me.
'Shit! What if she's dying? Did I kill the one I love?' I thought very scared."She hasn't died yet! Still breathing but lost heaps of blood from the wound." Bankotsu shouted. I quickly ran to her side and picked her up then ran in to the castle. The guard and nurses all know me from before. We use to spend our time 24/7 together playing around in the castle day and night. I even know her mother and father well.
When we got to the mini hospital the nurses saw the princess and called the doctor to come and check her.
After 15 minutes he came back out and said,
"She has lost too much blood…We need a replacement of an 'O' type blood. If anyone has that please come in quickly with me now!"
I had 'O' type.
"I do!" I went inside and saw Kagome. She was suffering a lot and looked very pale. Getting the blood…just enough blood in took about ½ an hour.
I felt so bad for stabbing her. She finally started to wake and whispered my name.
Normal POV:
'Damn, my head hurts…'
"Sotaru…"
'Why?…'My eyes felt like led. It felt so heavy but I managed to open them. Sotaru's worried face as looking at me and I smiled slightly.
'I know you didn't mean to Sotaru.' I closed them again and another hand was holding my hand.
"Bankotsu…" I smiled then fell asleep.
After of what seems like forever, I finally woke up. I felt much better but my back still hurt. I felt warm air coming on and off my left hand. It was Sotaru. He had a line of silver across his face. He had cried for me… I painfully got up and wiped a coming tear away.
'Oops! I think I woke him.' I thought while he started moving and called out my name in a deep soft voice. He opened his eyes and said to me,
"Kagome? Why are you up? I'm so sorry that I did that to you! I truly am! Please Kagome, please forgive me…" He looked so sad and down.
"It's ok Sotaru. Really. I know you didn't mean it." I said but still he looked sad.
"I know you didn't because I love you."
His head perked right up and eyes blinked twice.
"R-really?"
"Yes, really. I wanted to tell you before you left but I didn't get the chance."
He got up and suddenly embraced me.
"…Sotaru…"
"Kagome, I love you too. I'm sorry for all the bad things I've done to you and of what I said." He bought his head up and kissed me. Like I've been waiting for this day to finally come, I kissed back. It was so emotional. I had tears coming from the corners of my eyes, tears from happiness but not from pain. My arms went around him and I deepened the kiss. We wanted to stay like this forever. Until Inuyasha came in and saw us. He was growling.
Inuyasha's POV:
He was hugging MY victim.
"Grrr…"'Why am I growling…so protectively of her? I'm losing it! Ah!' I said in my thoughts.
"Inuyasha! Ohayo!" Kagome greeted after kissing that guy. Sotaru kissed her again.
'Damn! She enjoying that? HE was the one who stabbed her and SHE almost died.' I growled angrily to myself. Sotaru got up and walked to me and took out his hand.
"Hello sir. How come you look like me? Or before…?" He asked questionedly.
"Feh! No reason!" I replied coldly. He slowly put down his hand.
"Ok… Well thank you for visiting but visiting hours are over." He said then walked back to Kagome. She just smiled at me.
"He's my protector Sotaru, I think he can stay."
"Protector?"
"Yeah I've turned 15 and dad said I had too."
