Chapter Twelve
"What's wrong about it?" Pulling back disappointedly, Inuyasha put his
hands back on the steering wheel.
"I know you know why! I mean I am pretty much engaged!
Even if it is against what I want I still agreed to it. It might be fake to
everyone else, but this is the real thing for me. I'm sorry, but I can't."
Kagome admitted to him with sincerity.
"I should be happy to hear that, but damn it!" Smiling the young man put
the car into drive and sped off towards Paul's house. He glanced at the
girl to see a look of bewilderment on her face.
"You're just strange."
"Whatever, wench."
"Excuse me! I am not a wench!"
"Sure you aren't."
"I will have you know that-"
"We're home! Sorry toots' were you saying something?"
"Nothing at all."
"That's what I thought!"
"You mean you think? Surprise, surprise, kitty surprise!" Kagome sang
freely, letting all her worries leave her as she opened the car door.
Together they walked into the house only to be immediately confronted by a
large amount of people. Most of whom were men. Big men. Buff men. Scary
men. In the middle of the crowd were Paul and Sesshomaru. They walked
forward, grim expressions.
"Kagome come with us." They demanded quietly. With force they shoved
Inuyasha away from the Kagome, making him fall to the ground in bafflement.
Sesshomaru grabbed onto Kagome's arm and vigorously dragged her up the
stairs. Most of the way she put up a fight, but once she saw no way of
escape she allowed herself to be led.
"What the hell is the matter with you guys?" She asked resentfully after
being thrown into an empty room.
"With us?! What have you done Kagome?!" Paul ruthlessly posed. The vile
emphasis stung her as the last few words flowed from his mouth.
"I didn't do anything! The thing with Inuyasha was an accident! I told you
that last night Paul!" Kagome defended herself against them, not even
really knowing why they were so upset.
"Not that Kagome! Think about what you did. Think really hard." Sesshomaru
added in, trying to hint her mistake.
"Nothing. I didn't do anything!"
"Who did you call? At the hospital Kagome, who did you call?" Paul had
calmed himself down a little, somewhat acknowledging the fact that she
didn't mess up on purpose.
"Oh my god." She gaped under her breath. "But I made sure to hang up as
soon as I heard other people. I swear!"
"They still had enough time to figure out the area you were in and they
connected it to this town. I guess they also talked about your mother,
because they came here earlier. Asking about you Kagome. We are lucky you
weren't here right then or else there would have been a war. Do you see
what you have caused?" Paul inquired dramatically.
"I'm sorry. I just wanted to tell them I was okay. I didn't mean to do any
of this. Is that why all those people are downstairs. Are they mad at me
too?"
"Damn right they are! My whole family is in trouble now! If the police
think that we have anything to do with your disappearance, well, lets just
say hell will break loose." The older man breathed in deeply, clearly
counting to ten all the while. "Kagome, you can not, I repeat can not
contact anyone outside this house until I talk to your father."
"My dad what does he have to do with this?"
"He is your legal guardian. Your mother gave the rights to him when she
married me. Without his agreement you can't legally marry Inuyasha, because
you are underage."
"Oh." She sighed heavily, contemplated what he had said. Her head shot up
suddenly as she realized the meaning. "Inu...Inuyasha. The one downstairs."
She stated obviously lost in her thoughts. "He is going to be my...what?!"
Before they could even register her movements, Kagome was already storming
down the stairs, tears blurring her vision. Seeing her goal, she glided
easily passed the frightening men and right up to her fiancée. "You
asshole!" For the first time in her life she slapped a man.
Inuyasha just looked down at her. He watched as the overprotective family
members bombarded her, because nobody had understood her outburst. Why was
she angry with him? He didn't do anything unless...
"You know...?"
"Didn't you think I would eventually find out?! Or were you waiting for the
wedding day to tell me?!" She frantically disengaged herself from the
subdued grasps standing up to full height, facing Inuyasha, furiously
glaring into his eyes.
"Kagome I-"
"You must of thought it was awfully funny. Here I was talking crap about
how I wasn't mad...why didn't you tell me?" Finally her mother came up from
behind and wrapped her arms around her sobbing daughter. She induced the
girl back upstairs with a soft, cooing voice. She had Kagome comforted and
asleep by the end of the hour.
Stressed to no end, Judy made her way down back to the rest of the family.
They stared at her expectantly and she just nodded a reply. Exasperated she
glanced over too her soon to be son-in-law.
He was fiddling with the strings on his sweat pants, not daring himself to
look at anyone. He had known that she was clueless to who he was, but he
had liked it that way. It was safe, and she was open to him. Now he was
regretting hiding the truth from her. He didn't know it was going to affect
her this much.
"It's been taken care of. Everything is in order." Paul announced loudly
after hanging up his cell phone. He was smiling and laughing as though he
was oblivious to the little girl upstairs sad and alone. "It took little
persuasion actually. I was quite surprised. I just had to mention his
profession and he agreed instantly." He said his younger brother, who had
flown in that morning.
"What's going on?" Inuyasha asked uncertainly. Everybody turned to look at
him, and he guessed that they had forgotten he was still there.
"Well my boy Kagome's father has signed the necessaries and we should be
receiving the permission by tomorrow morning. We had him put it on an
overnighter service. Come the 22nd you will be a married couple and then we
can start putting the inheritance in order. Isn't that right son?" With a
powerful, knowing voice, Inuyasha's father, the Kingpin, spoke
condescendingly to his son before keeling over.
"Dad!" Inuyasha and Sesshomaru rushed forward and simultaneously picked him
up and proceeded to carry him to the big, leather couch. They set him down
gently and stepped out of the way so that another family member could
assist Tesslimarai. He had a fit like that every so often, but to Inuyasha
they were getting worse.
"That gives you one day to straighten things out with the young vixen."
Sesshomaru stated mockingly into his little brother's ear.
"Thanks for reminding me." Inuyasha retorted back viciously.
"What are brothers for?" "He asked over his shoulder.
"Gray hairs!"
"Not in our case...that came from dad not me!"
"Yeah whatever."
"Great comeback bro you were always good at those."
"Feh." The short response made Sesshomaru stop in his tracks and retrace
them back to Inuyasha. He took another really close look at the young man
before he accepting his natural role as the elder brother.
"Come on let's talk."
"I don't want to talk to you."
"That's what I am supposed to say. Come on you might not want to, but I am
the only one here." By then the two were already walking out of the living
room.
"Really, because I saw a whole room full of people. Maybe I am going crazy.
I'll go check." Inuyasha spun around in effort to sneak away from his nosey
sibling.
"Smart ass. There is no other choice." Snatching him by the wrist,
Sesshomaru yanked Inuyasha back into place and continued walking.
"You know you want to."
"Keep thinking that." With a crooked smile Inuyasha added, "you really do
care."
"What's wrong with Kagome?" Sesshomaru asked, making sure there would be no
beating around the bush.
"She didn't know that I was Inuyasha. I mean she knew I was Inuyasha just
not that I was Inuyasha Reshinio. Actually she knew that too! She was just
slow! She didn't know that I was her, well, her fiancée!" He thought about
it for a moment. "But she's right. I didn't tell her even though I knew.
It's just I liked her being..."
"Nice to you." Sesshomaru finished for him. "Well there is only one thing
you can do."
"I can't just walk up there...'hey Kagome! How are you? Oh and by the way I'm
sorry for not telling you the truth, I was just afraid that you would be
mad.' That won't work."
"And why the hell not?"
"Because she has the right to be mad!"
"So she'll get over it."
Inuyasha thought about it and then switched his focus to his brother. "I
hate you."
"Only 'cause you know I'm right."
"Feh. You couldn't be right even if there was no such thing as left."
Having his mind-made script memorized he darted out of the room and
secretly made his way to Kagome.
After knocking he chose to open the door to have a peek. Seeing her on the
bed, above the blankets, curled up into insecure little ball, made his
heart cringe. He quickly stepped in and shut the door silently behind him.
He strode over to where she lay soundlessly sleeping and knelt down in
front of the bed.
"I'm so sorry Kagome." He murmured quietly. Her face made not a hint of
recognition so he went on. "It wasn't my intention to hurt you. That is the
last thing I want. I know you don't know me, but I know all about you. I
know everything that has happened to you, give or take a little, but I want
to know more. I want to know you, and I want you to know me, but you
can't." He paused again. "This won't be hard for you. I will make sure of
it. You will get anything and everything you want or need. I'm so sorry."
A light butterfly kiss on the girl's forehead ended his speech. Somehow he
was relieved to have the truth lifted from his burdened shoulders. Inuyasha
enjoyed the beauty one last minute and then, painfully, he walked away from
her.
So what did you think? This chapter was especially hard to do because i didn't know the best way for her to find out. i knew i wanted it to be a suprise thing, but i just couldn't place it...i just went along with my dream and kept it the same...do you think she should have found out differently...? i really couldn't think of another way...and if anyone was wondering why Inuyasha is being like that in the end...you will find out... it is one of the twists...but it is a good thing...it leads to the incoming of Sango and Rin! i swear!
