Be My Savior – InuYasha Fanfic
Chapter 9: A letter, a song, a final decision…
"I have the girl. If you ever want to see her again, you'll sign all your assets over to me. Wait until I contact you again."
InuYasha almost laughed. Sesshoumaru was surprised
"InuYasha, it isn't funny!"
"Look closely Sesshoumaru! The kidnapper ain't too smart."
Sesshoumaru laughed too now.
"Now do you see? He used letterheaded stationary! Stupid fuckwit…"
"Indeed…you're not thinking of…"
"Oh you betcha. I'm gonna kick his ass!"
"What about father?"
"Kagome needs me!"
With that, InuYasha breezed out of the house, grabbed one of the cars, and drove to a block before the address on the letter. He exited the vehicle, and stealthily snuck onto the property of Kagome's kidnapper. He peeked into the window, and saw Kagome sitting on a chair seemingly not bonded by anything.
The man with her had black hair, and cold eyes.
"Now Kagome, how about a little music for the father of your child?"
"Yes Naraku…" Kagome said lifelessly. She wasn't under any control, but she looked bound by sorrow. Regardless of how she felt, she sat at the piano.
"How about that love song you wrote for your best friend?"
InuYasha wanted to punch this guys lights out, but he had to be calm for now, in case Naraku hurt Kagome. He looked back in the window, and saw Kagome was going to start playing. What was this song that she had written for him?
As Kagome began to play the piece, InuYasha recognized it. It was the piece that she had been playing the morning they had played badminton, and gotten into that fight.
A single tear rolled down InuYasha's face. She had written that piece years ago. Even then, she had loved him. And now he had to save her, and hope that she would finally accept him.
As she kept playing the piece, Naraku began to doze into sleep. InuYasha decided he would take this opportunity to find a way in. He snuck around the sides of the house, quietly trying every door, looking for an open window. When he was around the other side of the house, he noticed a window on the third floor was open a crack. If he could just climb quietly up the piping, he could get inside the house. Calling on his inner monkey, InuYasha crept up the pipes quietly, and soon reached the window. He edged it open a little more, and eased himself inside. It was dark in this room, so he couldn't see. He stuck his foot down into the black, hoping to find some footing.
A quiet 'plop' and a wet foot later, InuYasha soon realized he was in an upstairs toilet. He carefully searched for some better footing that inside the bowl, and found his way to the floor.
Opening the door to the hall, InuYasha got down on his hands and knees and crawled around the darkness, careful not to fall down any stairs that he came across and descended. He found his way to the first floor, which was mostly lit up, and he had to find various things to hide behind, in case Naraku came along.
Sneaking cautiously, InuYasha found the kitchen. Kagome was now sitting at the table in the kitchen. When she spotted him she gasped, before covering her mouth.
"What are you doing here?" she whispered harshly.
"I came to find you. Naraku sent out a ransom note for you!" he whispered back.
"A ransom? But Naraku hasn't been unkind!"
"Hasn't been unkind? He raped you! That's why you're pregnant!"
"…He didn't rape me…"
"What?"
"I went to the party with a friend from college. There, I met Naraku. He showed an interest in me, and I was lonely, because you were out of town, and I knew nothing could ever happen between us. One thing lead to another, and I woke up in Naraku's bed. He had to leave for work early in the morning, so that's why I woke up alone."
"I've never known anyone as beautiful as Kagome…" Naraku's voice interrupted.
"You're awake?" Kagome gasped.
"Of course. It doesn't take much to wake me." He regarded the stranger in his kitchen. "You must be InuYasha. You're a lucky man."
"Huh?" InuYasha was confused.
Taking a chair at the table, Naraku told InuYasha how he and Kagome had met. He said that InuYasha was Kagome's main topic of discussion that night, so he knew that even when he bedded her, that her mind was elsewhere.
"Then why did you do it, if you knew she wasn't fully into it?"
"I still consented InuYasha! I wish I hadn't hurt Naraku like that, but I did…"
"I'm not the only one you hurt Kagome…but at least InuYasha knows the truth now…"
"But wait…what was that ransom note about?"
"Kagome needed to see you. She didn't say it, but she needed to see you…"
"Oh okay. Well, I don't know if I should thank you or not…What would you have done if I hadn't come?"
"I knew you would. You love Kagome."
"Yeah, that's true. Kagome, let's go home."
Kagome nodded silently as InuYasha took her hand.
"Naraku…thanks…I think…now uh, where's the door?"
Kagome laughed, and lead the way.
"Goodbye Naraku!" she said cheerfully as she and InuYasha left the house.
InuYasha silently lead Kagome to the car.
"Why did you park so far away, InuYasha?"
"I didn't want Naraku to see the car, in case he hurt you."
Kagome laughed again.
"Thank you for coming for me InuYasha…I missed you."
"I missed you too Kagome." He hugged her before opening the car door for her to get in.
The drive home was full of silent thoughts about where to go from here.
When they arrived back at the estate, Kikyo was waiting for InuYasha outside. The look on her face was cross.
"Where the hell have you been? Do you have any idea how much preparation we still have to go for the wedding next week?"
InuYasha ignored her, and walked inside with Kagome, his fingers laced in hers.
InuTaisho was sitting with Sesshoumaru, talking about something, which they stopped upon noticing InuYasha and Kagome's entry. He regarded their intertwined hands, and raised his eyebrow.
In his hand, was the crumpled 'ransom' note from Naraku. Kikyo came storming inside.
"Sir! Shouldn't you get that woman off my fiancée?"
InuTaisho thought carefully as he saw Kagome's grip on InuYasha's hand tighten.
"Kagome? You've caused a lot of trouble…"
"I realize that sir, and I'm sorry, but I love your son. I love InuYasha, and I just can't let him marry Kikyo if he doesn't love her!"
"So, you finally admit to loving him?" InuTaisho asked, his face softening into a smile.
Kagome nodded.
"Very well…It's clear to me now, that InuYasha would risk his life for you. Now knowing that you return his feelings, I can let him marry you. Kikyo, that will be all."
"But sir! What about me?"
"I'm sorry Kikyo, but InuYasha has chosen his path."
"You'll be sorry!"
"No, you'll be sorry for threatening my dad! Now in the morning, I want you to leave us Kikyo!" InuYasha said, putting his arm around Kagome's waist.
"Fine…" Kikyo said, defeated.
"I think we've all had a long day…lets all go to bed…" Sesshoumaru suggested.
InuYasha and Kagome walked up the stairs together, and InuYasha walked her to her room. Finally. He was with Kagome after all this time…
"Well, goodnight Kagome!" he said awkwardly as he turned to leave. Kagome, who was still holding his hand, tugged him back towards her gently. He turned to face her, and she kissed him. It was a passionate kiss that was long overdue, and as InuYasha slid his tongue into Kagome's mouth, neither of them wanted this moment to end. After what seemed like a long time, they had to come up for air. InuYasha was going to turn to leave again but Kagome began to speak:
"InuYasha…I'd like it if you spent the night with me…" she blushed. "I think we have a lot to talk about…"
InuYasha smiled and entered the bedroom, shutting the door behind him.
