Dang! I broke my promise! There is soo much going on around here even with school out that I barely have any time to do anything!
Chapter 14: The Sentencing
Kagome slept restlessly the next night, Inuyasha next to her on the soft double bed.
He starred into her eyes and wondered what exactly he was going to say to the police.
"Inuyasha?" He heard the small voice next to him.
"Yes?" He said, trying to hid the fear that lurked inside of him.
"Am I going to be arrested?" Kagome asked sadly as he pulled her body to his chest.
"I won't let anything happen to you, I love you." He whispered, "Go to sleep." He kissed her forhead and listened as her breathe slowly evened out.
The Next Morning
"Inuyasha!" He heard the screaming from the main room, "Help!" She cried.
"Kagome!" He ran into the room and saw the 3 men in blue suit putting hand cuffs and Kagome and Sango.
"Inuyasha! You, get him to safety!" One of the officers yelled.
Inuyasha was tugged out of the door before another word could escape his lips.
"Get off of me!" Inuyasha yelled at the officer, "She's innocent!" He yelled before running quickly back into the room.
Kagome has been forced to the floor and the police officer had a knife to her neck.
"Get off her!" Inuysha yelled, grabbing the man by the collar of his shirt and throwing him against the wall.
"Mr. Inuyasha, what is the meaning of this?" The man who held Sango yelled.
"They're innocent! Kikyo is the one you are looking for!" He yelled pulled Kagome from the floor and holding her bridal style.
"Mr. Inuyasha, Kikyo and Kagome look so much alike, you may have gotten them mixed up." The man said soothingly.
"No! Kikyo wanted to kill Kagome because I love her!" Inuyasha yelled and he felt Kagome snuggle into his chest, tears streaming down her pale face.
"Mr. Inuyasha..." He began but iNuyasha cut him off.
"No! Have you even checked the gun for fingerprints yet!" Inuyasha yelled.
"No, Miss Kikyo said it would not be necessary." He replied.
"See? Don't you think it is odd she would not want you to have physical proof!" He reasoned.
"Umm...We will check for prints, but in the mean time," He tugged Kagome out of Inuyasha's armsand pushed her to the door, "We must take these 2 into custody." And with that he was gone, and so was Kagome.
An Hour Later
"Oh Inuyasha, honey." Kikyo's voice floated up the guard stand to him, he continued t stare out to the water, watching the small children play in the shallows.
"Isn't it wonderful dear, your'e all better and that wretched Kagome is out of the picture for good." She smiled sweetly at him and began to climb up the ladder.
"You bitch." He whispered before turning out to the water again.
"Oh, Inu-kun, don't be so mean." She pouted.
"Oh shut up." He pushed her from the ladder and listened to the soft thud of her hitting the sand.
"You don't love me anymore?" She glared.
"Never did." Was his reply as a convertable pulled into a spot and yelled Inuyasha's name.
He was off duty.
He climbed down and pulled his shirt over his head.
"Why don't we go swimming Inu-kun?" Kikyo grabbed his arm, making sure to push it between her breasts.
"No." He pulled his arm away and climbed into the back of Miroku's cab. He glanced out the back window at an enraged Kikyo as Miroku pulled away.
"Visiting hours aren't over in the prison, Inuyasha." Miroku said, turning towards the police station.
"Okay, let's go." Inuyasha said, looking out the window at the beach.
They pulled into the parking lot of the station and Inuyasha stumbled from the car.
"I want to see Kagome Kigurashi." Inuysaha said to the person at the front desk.
"Okay, Bruce will escort you." She pointed to a large man in the corner who grunted and opened a gate.
Then another.
Then another.
"Umm, how far is her cell?" Miroku asked.
"In the back." Was his emotionless reply.
Miroku shivered as they passed numerous cells containing large grizzly looking men and short haired females.
"Inuyasha, this is scarry." He whispered to his best friend.
"Shh." Inuysaha quieted him as Bruce turned to look at them.
"Here we are." He opened the cell door and let them in, then closed and locked it.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha whispered, looking at the curled up form in the shadows.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome's voice was quiet and hoarse, he assumed she had been crying.
He was startled as she jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly to her.
"Kagome." He sighed as her wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Miroku!" Sango's voice echoed from the other side of the ceel and she too jumped into his arms.
"Sango! Are you all right?" He asked looking into her face.
"Yes, but we won't last here, the food is disgusting, they have community showers for both genders and they beat us. I'm scarred." She burried her face in his shirt and began to cry.
"We will get you out of here, I promise." Inuysaha whispered into Kagome's ear.
"Time's up boys." Bruce's monotone voice echoed into the small concrete room.
"Goodbye." Kagome whispered as she pressed her lips to his in a passionate kiss.
"I'll be here tommorrow, okay?" He said, walking backward toward the open bars.
"Bye, Inu-kun." Kagome whispered.
Inuyasha smiled, he liked it when she called him that. He decided mentally to reserve that right for Kagome alone.
The Next Morning
"Dude! Get up!" Inuyasha awoke to him roommate yelling from the living room.
"Inuyasha! Get the fuck up!" Miroku's voice floated into the room.
"What do you want?" He words slurred.
"Listen." He pointed to the television set.
"Today we have found news of lying under oath. The crime may have been performed by Kikyo Nakinawa, who just recently turned in a Kagome Higurshi on the charges of attempted murder of Inuyasha Takahashi. We will go to Linda Naginou for more information."
The screen changed to a picture of a blonde woman, the same woman who interveiwed Kikyo the day before.
"Thank you. Police were told that fingerprints were not necessary for this crime conviction because of supposed eye witness Kikyo Nakinawa. But we have recently discovered that the fingerprints on the gun that was used in this crime were those of Miss Nakinawa and the Police are releasing Kagome Kigurasi and her friend from jail."
Miroku cheered as Inuyasha ran to his room to get dressed.
Meanwhile, in a large mansion across town...
"No! How could this happen!" Yelled an angry voice, ignoring the knocking on her front door and windows and the annoying flashes of the photographers for newspapers.
She stepped to her door and opened it with caution.
"Miss Nakinawa, what is you comment on the discovories made earlier today? Will you Testify that you are not guilty?" A male reporter shoved a mic in her face and spat questions at her as fast as a machine gun fires bullets.
"No Comment. I don't know." She answered before slamming the door in his face and turning to the staircase.
She began to climb the stairs when her doorbell rang again.
"I told you no COMMENT!" She yelled and flung the door open to find a female police officer standing on her welcome mat, "Oh, hello."
"You are underarrest under penalty of law. You ahve the right the remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you." She said, pushing closed the cuffs on Kikyo's wrists.
"What?" Kikyo screeched, trying to pull away from the stronger woman.
With Inuyasha, Miroku sped down mainstreet and arrived at the police station the same time Kikyo's police car arrived.
"Oh, Hey Kikyo." Inuyasha smirked and walked to the door.
"Inu-kun! Tell them what happened!" Kikyo pleaded.
"I'll wait until court and testify for the prosicuter." He growled, "Don't call me Inu-kun." Then he walked to the desk and asked for Kagome.
"Right this way, sir." He smiled and led him to a door where they were just taking off her hand cuffs.
"Inu-kun!" Kagome screeched and jumped into his arms, crying in joy.
"I missed you Kago-chan." He grinned and kissed her nose.
"Inu-kun, I have some bad news." She pulled away from him and looked at the floor.
"My dad called, while I was hear, he says I have to return home now." Kagome started crying again, but for almost the opposite reason.
"Kagome, no." He felt the wetness fill his eyes, he had never cried before in his life, this was new.
"I'll stay until after the sentancing, kay Inu?" She gave a crooked smile and looked back at the floor as he led her out.
The Trial
Inuyasha had testified against Kikyou and they sat, biting nails, waiting for the verdict.
Finally, the large group of people that made up the jury entered the room.
The judge look down at the group and asked, "Has the jury reached a verdict?"
A woman stood and nodded, "Yes, we find the defendent guilty of all charges."
The Judge gave a same nod of approval just before a woman stood and screamed, tears running down her face, "Miss Nakinawa, calm down, I must sentence you." The judge glanced down at her and 2 guards came and restrained her, "Judging by your lack of acceptance of the consequences, I have decided to add 5 years to the time you would originally have been senctanced, 15 years in federal prison, court dismissed." She hit her mallet on the small wooden cirle and stood.
Kikyou was dragged into a room in the back and Inuyasha stood and looked into Kagome's eyes, "Kagome, please don't..." He couldn't find hiself to finish his sentence, he simply didn't want to admit she was leaving them.
A row back, Miroku and Sango were having a similar conversation.
"Miroku, I'm sorry, Kagome needs me, her father will kill her if I don't go back with her." Sango shook her head and pulled Kgaome away before Kagome's father was forced to come drag her away himself.
The Airport
Kagome waved at Inuyasha as thier flight was announced to be boarding over the intercom.
"Goodbye" She went up to kiss him but he turned away and she kissed his cheek, "I love you Inuyasha." She whispered before following Sango onto the plane.
Inuyasha watched regretfully as the plane began to move down the runway, "I love you, too, Kagome."
THE END! I know, but guess what, I set it up for the sequel!
I know, it's awesome, I finally finished, but I have to say, though I'm sad this story is over, I can't help but feel as though I want it to never end, but of course...Then there would be no sequel! right?
See you soon!
