Chapter…um... wait...11! Yes 11!
Last time…
No one saw the enormous grin on Inuyasha's face
This time….
Inuyasha lay awake for what seemed the billionth time that night. Kagome snored softly
Against the pillow she had conquered by strangling it with her arms. His thoughts were
All on the same lines as what had happened that afternoon. Replaying her death, although
It had merely been one of Shippo's illusions; the look on her face would haunt him. That wide eyed panic and terror, yet also something else that had been hidden deep. Hope. Hope that what was happening wouldn't and yet he hadn't been able to stop Naraku even if he had tried he wouldn't have of been able to.
"Cheese" Kagome mumbled in her sleep and turned over, making him jump almost three feet into the air. He had forgotten that she was really there beside him; sound asleep in all of her haystack like hair glory. A smile crossed his face as he lay down, his head resting on her sheet of ebony hair.
"Good night Kagome" he muttered as she turned to face him, still asleep a smile on her face as she snuggled closer to his body heat.
"Night cheese" she murmured as he finally let himself drift off.
Dream (don't hurt me!)
It was quiet, too quiet. The school was never this quiet even in the evenings after everyone had left. At least there were birds singing; now there was nothing. Inuyasha looked around, as a sinking feeling slithered into his gut and sat there. Where was Kagome? And why was he sitting around while he was supposed to be watching her!
Jumping up he ran into the school. Inuyasha opened the back doors to hear an uncomfortably familiar scream echo through his head. Reeling he turned and ran in the direction of the noise, he turned the corner to see him standing there. His back towards him as he held Kagome by her hair.
"Cry for him! Cry for your precious Inuyasha" Naraku sneered as Kagome drew a shaky gasp and spit at him. He returned his grip tenfold as Inuyasha watched Naraku pull his knife and turn to face him.
"So nice of you to join us Inuyasha. How are you today?" Naraku asked as if he were discussing the matter over tea instead of killing a girl.
"Let her go Naraku!" Inuyasha yelled taking a step towards the menace. Naraku pulled Kagome closer to him, setting the knife diagonally across her jugular.
"Now why would I do that? She has something I want. Isn't that right Fagome?" He said as she glared at him.
"I don't know what you want! I don't have a jewel!" She yelled as Naraku snickered and brought her head back further.
"I told you, tell me where it is or do I have to introduce you to my blade?" he asked his voice sickly. He seemed to remember Inuyasha standing there as a smile crossed his face.
"Inuyasha, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about and surely you know. Where is the jewel?" Inuyasha decided it was best to play dumb in this situation.
"Jewel? I've never heard of any jewel." He said as Naraku seemed to grow agitated.
"Tell me Inuyasha or the girl dies" he said pressing the blade to Kagome's next so a thin line of blood traced her neck and down into her shirt.
"I don't know Naraku! I've never heard of it!" Inuyasha shouted as desperation came into his voice. Naraku chuckled, as he looked at Kagome fondly petting her hair like she was an animal.
"You lie well Inuyasha oh well, I'm getting bored." He said as he grabbed her hair pulling it back so her throat was fully exposed. A strangled cry came from her as tears ran smoothly down her cheeks.
"Don't touch her Naraku! Or I won't tell you what I know!" Inuyasha bluffed as Kagome gave a strangled gasp.
"Don't tell him!" she yelled as Naraku growled, irritated. He pulled her hair back. "Don't tell him, don't tell him…" she chanted as Inuyasha watched.
"You've driven me past my boundaries you little cunt" he yelled over her screaming mantra "Die!" Her scream echoed in his ears as blood, thick and red went everywhere.
"Don't tell him Inuyasha! Never tell him! Never!" Kagome's voice echoed in his ears.
"Never, never tell, never, never tell, never, never tell, never..."
Inuyasha jumped up with a start. It was just a dream, just a dream, not real, just a dream. He sighed and lay back down turning to see if he had awoken Kagome. She wasn't there. Inuyasha's mind rambled a mile a minute as he jumped out of his bed and took off through the castle looking for her.
Meanwhile…
Kagome had just finished washing her hands from her midnight bathroom excursion. Sometimes she really hated being female, she sighed as she downed two ibuprophen tablets and a glass of water. Pulling her hair back into a pony tail she exited the bathroom and began her way back upstairs. There were a ton of stairs in the castle, she hadn't found any elevators yet, she panted as she reached the third landing that lead out to a small veranda. She paused, walking out to get a breath of fresh air. The night was pleasant, cool and a light breeze stirred the leaves on the trees. She sighed and leant on her elbow against the rail, closing her eyes and listening to the soft chirping of crickets and the rustle of the tree leaves as they rubbed against one another.
Tap. Tap. Tap, shuffle, tap, tap shuffle, and tap.
Footsteps? Kagome turned around to see the figure of a person on the veranda opposite hers looking down towards the small koi pond below. Weird, who was up at this time of night? She sighed just one of the guys probably maybe Shippo? He had slept in the car. Now he was probably wired and not able to sleep. She let out a breath of air as the foot steps picked up again, slowly coming closer.
Kagome ignored the person and went back to listening to the trees and crickets; there was something pleasant about the dead of night. Maybe it was the fact that no one was watching her and judging her or maybe it was because in the dark you could blend in and no one could find you. Whatever the reason it was just so peaceful.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha's hesitant voice snapped her out of her slight doze. She turned to see him; he looked panicked and edgy like a little kid after a bad dream.
"Are you okay?" she asked reaching out to touch his shoulder. He seemed to stiffen before he grabbed her, pulling her close and literally crushing her slight frame against his. Kagome's brain seemed to have a core meltdown at that moment as she tried to restart it.
"Inuyasha?" she asked, but it came out more of a breathy whisper due to her lack of breathing room. His arms tightened for a fraction of a second before he slackened off a bit to a more so loose hug.
"Sorry" he mumbled as a smile crossed her face, she grabbed his hand and tugged, asking him to sit. He did, rearranging her in his lap so that she was comfortably seated between his knees with his chest as a backrest.
"So, why so cuddly?" she asked as he played with the long black strands of her ponytail. He shrugged and continued to play with her hair. "Come on there has to be more than this" she shrugged to get the point across. A slight smile curved his lips as he leant back against the veranda railing.
"I had a dream, nothing really except for…" he trailed off, Kagome turned around to look at him. There were unshed tears dancing in the corners of his eyes as he continued to play with her hair. She squeezed his hand, telling him it was okay to go on. "You died" he said as a tear escaped and ran over his cheek. Kagome looked at him sadly, she had had dreams like that where she was alone and no one came to help her. They all just stared and laughed as her closest friends were killed. A smile curved over her lips as she pulled him in for another hug as she felt him break down completely. She tried to comfort him like her mom had done for her when she was little, telling him everything was okay and that she was here.
Kagome had never really thought about it. How much stress he always had on him, not only from her but from his family and the Canis Corporation as well as the gang his father ran? She thought about it, he had to protect her from everything that could possible happen to her and now it was tripled because Naraku wanted something from her she didn't have and was trying to kill her at every turn. The Canis Corporation, his father wanted him to be one of the future heirs to the fortune their company created. Plus the Mafia that Inu no Taisho ran that he wanted Inuyasha to be the head of one day since Sesshomaru was more of a business man he would obviously get the company. Then there was the fact that their dad was a dick and wanted absolute perfection from his sons. Man and she thought her family had problems.
Inuyasha had quieted down now and was using her for a leaning post, most of his energy spent from his nightmare and expedition after her.
"Feel any better?" she asked as all he did was nod. She smiled and gave him another loose hug.
In reality Inuyasha felt much, much better. In fact why not play it out a bit longer to see if she would continue hugging him, call him selfish but it was nice since he really didn't have anyone to talk to ever.(don't think about asking Sesshy, he'd laugh then kill u!) Plus the fact that she just smelled so damn good! Must resist urge to touch hair!
Kagome sat staring ahead at the trees over the top of the railing as Inuyasha finally looked up at her, his movement made her jump as she looked down. He smiled sheepishly as she stood.
"Let's go get some sleep" she said holding out her hand. He allowed a small smile to cross his face as he grasped her hand and lead the way back upstairs. The entire palace was silent when they reached the top hall, everyone deeply asleep or close to it, they made their way back to bed. Kagome jumped under the covers, marvelling how they were still warm even after all of the time they had been elsewhere as Inuyasha lay down next to her, his back facing her.
"Night Inuyasha" she said as she felt sleep creep up on her again.
"Night Kagome" Inuyasha said as he waited until her breathing to even out before he rolled over and threw and arm over her, much more comfortable. Slowly he drifted back to sleep, her fragrance like a lullaby.
