Broken House Rules---The Love Triangle
- - -
Kagome scratched away at the floor with her fingernails. Her mind was set with determination. The ground was easy to chip away at. It looked old, really old. She had dirt in between her fingernails but she didn't care, so long as she could get out some day soon. She had already made a small hole underneath the wall with the window. She figured that if the very dim light from the window was from outside she would be able to dig right underneath the building. The light from the window had been long gone so she didn't really know how far she had gotten. She stopped for a second to wipe her forehead off with the edge of her shirt.
"Dumb Inuyasha…" She murmured while she continued to chip away at the ground.
"I wonder if Kikyo…Kikyo!" Kagome exclaimed as she remembered her twin sister waiting back at home.
She jumped up and started to run around in circles waving her arms up and down.
"Shit! Kikyo's going to kill me!" Kagome squealed.
The wrath of Kikyo whenever Kagome did something wrong was rather… harsh.
Kagome's eyes went big as she continued with her circle dance.
"Miss…" A very low and masculine voice asked.
Kagome stopped her 'chicken with its head cut off routine' and looked in the direction of the voice.
The room was too dim to see anything but she could see a darker shadow beyond the cell's bars.
She ran over to the bed and jumped on top of it, trying to cower in the corner, but the bed being too weak it crashed into the ground leaving a sore Kagome on the floor.
A chuckled sounded through the cold cell. A few clinks were heard and then the metal bars slid to a side.
The darker shadow waited expectantly by the side of the small cell. It turned to face her.
"Believe me, that cell there is not the most suitable place for a young lady to live in. Please follow me." The low voice said.
Kagome couldn't tell if the person was just faking the whole thing or if the person really meant it.
"Beats living in here." Kagome said under her breath as she made her way to the cell doors.
"You are completely right there." The person said.
Kagome stopped in her tracks.
"How could you hear me?" Kagome asked, surprise radiating off of her.
Another hearty chuckle resounded through the cell. For some reason this person made her feel a sense of security.
"There are many things that you still have to learn my dear." The person said again.
Kagome nodded without realizing the person couldn't see her. She walked out on shaky legs. She held on to the bars that were at the side for a little bit of support.
"Here take my hand," The person said. "But when I tell you to shut your eyes, please do so."
Kagome stretched her hand out; she felt a soft palm as it grasped her small hands.
He led her down somewhere. She still couldn't see anything at all. The person led her on carefully, making sure that she could keep up.
Kagome stood up straight and used all the rest of her strength to walk.
"Would you like me to assist you? You might need your strength later." The person asked politely.
Kagome smiled. This person was clearly very polite and she really did appreciate it.
"No. I think I can handle." Kagome said with a nod of her head.
The man continued on but the quickly stopped.
"Please shut your eyes now." The person told her.
Kagome shut her eyes. She fell into a darkness that was not much different from the one she had been through just moments before.
She was pulled along.
All of a sudden she could feel a blazing heat on her eyes. Behind her eyelids she felt a sense of heat. She could feel warmth pushing itself up against her cool skin.
"Cover all the windows and turn all the lights off." The person told someone else urgently.
Kagome could hear light footsteps rushing here and there. The hand did not once move from her fingers, it kept a firm grip.
The bright red light she could feel behind her eyelids disappeared and the person who was holding her hand let go.
Kagome felt scared all of a sudden and she reached out quickly again.
The hand came back and grasped her fingers. Kagome sighed but was embarrassed nonetheless.
"You can open your eyes now." The person said.
Kagome opened one eyes by just a crack. She could see by candlelight but the light radiating from the candle burned her eyes. She shut her eyes and covered them up her hands.
"It hurts…" Kagome said childishly.
The person chuckled again.
"If you had opened your eyes to a fully bright room after staying in that pitch black darkness you would have gone blind." The person told her.
"How long have I been in there?" Kagome asked.
"About 18 hours." The person told her.
Kagome gasped. Her sister was going to kill her.
She immediately jumped up.
"My sister is going to kill me! I am going to be dead before I hit the age of 20! I'm too young to die…" Kagome stammered on.
A hand grabbed her arm and pulled her down.
"Hush." The voice told her sternly.
Kagome immediately shut up and sat back down.
"Now listen. My son had just told me that he had thrown someone into our dungeons. That boy, he will one day come to recognize my belt…" The voice said with a growl.
"Sir," Kagome interrupted, "If you don't mind can you show me the way out. I promise to leave immediately. Far, FAR away from here…"
A soft finger was placed against Kagome's dry and cracked lips.
"You need food and water before you leave. I know it's only been a day but still you must be hungry." The voice told her.
"Ah… no." Kagome lied but as if on cue her stomach growled loud and clear.
In response Kagome's cheeks went up in flames. Luckily for her the person had accidentally blown on the small candle and it was pitch black.
"Edward, please light a few more candles and get Beth to grab the dinner." The man called out to the darkness.
A few footsteps were heard and then a few candles went up in flames.
Kagome looked at her rescuer. He had silver hair and golden eyes, just like Inuyasha. But unlike Inuyasha, this man was older and you could only tell that by the way he looked at things and the way he sat, stood, ect. She could see warmth vibrating off his eyes.
"I think Inuyasha is the one to blame for keeping you in such a condition. Don't worry I will take care of him later." The man told Kagome with a smile.
Usually Kagome would have punched any male who would try to talk to her but this man made her feel… happy in a sort.
"Now tell me, what is your name?" The man asked.
"K-kagome." Kagome stammered.
The man chuckled heartily.
"No need to be afraid. Now, I need to talk to you about something…" The man said, immediately taking on a serious tone.
Food was placed in front of Kagome. She had just realized that she was sitting down at a table. Food was also placed in front of the man.
"As you know I am Inuyasha's father. Before I ask of you many personal questions you may ask about anything you doubt about." The man told her with a friendly tone.
Kagome just shook her head. She had a million questions flying through her mind but they all went along the lines of 'Is that calamari?' or as 'I don't like tomatoes, are those tomatoes?' so Kagome kept her mouth shut.
"I must ask if you would like to-" The man was saying but he got cut off by someone else.
"Father, the doctor you met with the other day says that you must take another check up, preferably now." A smooth and silky voice said.
Kagome looked up to see the face of Sesshomaru. He looked down at her. Her heart sped up like a gray hound chasing a rabbit. His eyes looked at her with coldness so dark that it made Kagome shiver.
"Ah yes, Dr. Hubert again?" The man asked Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru nodded his head then left.
Kagome let out her breath and soon realized that she was holding in a breath in the first place.
"I should make this quick. Because of you history, yes I know about your record, and your family, I am going to take you in. No need to be thankful. Call Sesshomaru and he will take you to your room." The man said with a nod and then quickly left the room.
Kagome's mouth opened then shut, a goldfish would be envious of her cheeks.
The light came on quickly and Kagome shut her eyes down tight.
"I see that my father has made another choice that will one day send him to hell." Sesshomaru said coldly.
Kagome jumped up and spun around. Sesshomaru stood there in all his glory. His piercing gold eyes bore down into Kagome's skull.
Sesshomaru walked away without even giving Kagome a second glance. Kagome followed Sesshomaru anyway.
He led her up a long spiral staircase. Picture frames hung onto the walls. When Kagome had finally reached the top she was out of breath. She doubled over and took deep breathes in.
Sesshomaru looked down at Kagome pathetically. Sesshomaru didn't seem fazed at all. He walked over to a door and pushed it open. He stood by the door, waiting for Kagome.
Kagome stood up weakly then walked over to Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru held the door open and Kagome walked in with a giggle.
'Quite the gentleman.' Kagome thought with a dreamy sigh.
Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed at Kagome's giggle.
"This is your room. The clothes you shall wear for school are in the closet." Sesshomaru said just before he walked off.
If Kagome had known Sesshomaru better she would have seen the glimmer of victory flash through his eyes but she saw the icy prince in all his coldness.
"Okay, now, all I need to do is find a phone and get away from the psychopathic family." Kagome said with a sigh.
She looked around with amazement. The room was large. More grand then any museum, any garden, ANYTHING.
This room seemed to be decorated just for a girl. It had blue and red flowers painted on a light blue background. The whole room was nice and it made her feel happy.
Kagome giggled as she jumped on top of the bed.
She almost screamed as the mattress sucked at her foot.
She jumped off the bed with a laugh.
She decided to look around, starting with the closet.
Kagome walked over to the closet and flipped it open. On ever single hanger lay a boy's school uniform.
"What-?" Kagome thought but couldn't finish that sentence because a shoe had just hit the back of her head, sending her flying into the closet.
A loud laugh was heard.
"Hey Inuyasha, I never knew you liked this girls room." A voice said with another calm laugh.
Kagome turned around to see violet eyes looking down at her. The eyes grew big as the man kneeled down beside Kagome and grabbed her hand.
"Beautiful maiden, I must ask of you two things. Where is Inuyasha and will you bare my children?" The man asked seriously.
