The Witch-Strong Winds and Curfews

I don't own Inu Yasha or any of the characters but I do own the character I put in the story but I don't own her powers the people that invented Charmed do.

RECAP

Shippo then took the little cat and went off to play. I stood up and looked to the setting sun. I gasped.

"Damn! I'm supposed to be home by sunset!" I said. I looked towards the well. " Will it let me through again?"

"It should." Kagome replied. With that, I said a quick good bye to everyone and slapped the monk for touching my butt and jumped in the well.

END RECAP

The blue light again surrounded me but it went away quicker this time. I landed on the bottom of the well and climbed out. I made a mad-dash up the stairs and out of the room. I saw my bag laying by the tree and ran to pick it up. The sun was setting faster and faster as if some unknown source was pulling it down. I climbed down the stairs to the shrine and tore down the sidewalk, glad that no one was walking at this time of night. I saw my new house and ran faster I got there as soon as the sun set. The wind was picking up fast and my hair was flying into my eyes.

"Dammit!" I thought.

I got my keys to open the door but it swung open to reveal a very angry Johnson Marshalls staring at me with Christine Marshalls standing in the background. I looked at Johnson with defiance and walked in past him.

" You're late." Johnson growled at me. I hated it when this happened. I would be late and we would have a fight then Christine would come in the room and tell me to go to my room and they would yell about it for the rest of the evening not even noticing that I snuck out.

So I just looked at him when he said that. He glowered at me and did something he had never done before. He slapped me.

I took a quick intake of breath when the hand hit the left side of my face. I staggered a bit in surprise and then looked up at him. From the look on his face I could tell that he expected me to fall when he hit me. But my foster parents didn't know how strong I was. I glared daggers at him.

" What was that for!" I spat. The look at was surprise turned in to anger in less than a heartbeat. He swung again but I dodged it. I turned to Christine but she was turned around at the sink. I looked back at my foster-father and pushed him aside as I ran up the stairs, taking the steps two by two, almost not touching the floor. I hit the second story of the house and ran to my room, which was conviniently all the way at the end of the hall. Johnson was making his way up the steps. He was an old, fat, and balding man so I didn't really worry about not making it to my room in time. I shut the door and locked it just as he got to the second story and he began lumbering towards my room.

"OPEN UP, YOU LITTLE BRAT!" He yelled through the door. I, on the other hand, was grabbing my suitcase and opening the window. He heard the window open and screamed," YOU BETTER NOT JUMP OUT OF THAT WINDOW OR I'LL BEAT YOU TO A PULP!"

"I'M GOING TO KAGOME'S HOUSE!" I shouted back.

"NO YOU'RE NOT!" He yelled back his voice hourse already.

I paid no heed and jumped out the window on the tree branch that was near it. My hair instantly went flying around my face and the wind almost knocked me down. There was a sloping roof under right under the window but I liked the tree better so I decided to jump on it. I jumped from the tree to the ground and ran to the front of the house. I ran down the street back to the shrine and retreated up the steps. By now, I actually had tears in my eyes. It was much darker now even though it had only been a few minutes since I left the shrine.

"HOW dare he smack me? He had no right to do that! I'm not even his real daughter!" I thought recklessly.

I reached the front door of Kagome's home and knocked. My head hung despite what I wanted it it to do and I fell to my knees again. The tears started rolling down my face as the door opened. It was thankfully Kagome and she kneeled down and hugged me. I was shocked though. My foster parents had never hugged me. I sat still on my knees as she hugged me.

"So this is what a hug feels like?" I thought. I could move suddenly. I regained feeling back in my arms and I hugged her back. She broke away and stood up. She then helped me up and put her arm over my shoulders and whispered," Its okay, Sel."

I smiled weakly at the over-used nickname. We walked into the living room where we found Inu Yasha playing with a cat. He looked up suddenly as if he smelled us walking in. I had my head down so my hair which was parted in the middle fell into my face. I looked like Cousin It from the Addams family, but with better hair.

"Why is she crying?" Inu Yasha asked matter-a-factly. My head shot up to find he was standing in front of Kagome and me. He looked at my face then looked at Kagome, who blushed slightly and I could feel why. Even in my weakened and emotional state, I was still an Empath ( AN: For those of you who don't know, its a person who can feel what other people are feeling.).

"She likes him... That's too cute. They look good together too."

We walked over to the and I was relieved to hear that kagome's family was out to dinner. I didn't want to meet them like this. I wiped my eyes with the base of my hand and accidently touched my bruised cheek.

"Ow!" I almost whispered. I bought my other hand to my face and touched the bruise. It stung to the touch but I didn't lift my hand.

"Inu Yasha, can you get some tissues?" Kagome asked quietly.

"Feh. What am I, your maid or something?" He said defiantly.

" If you don't get any I'll say the 's' word and you'll be embarassed in front of someone you just met so move it!" Kagome said back. He jumped off the couch and ran to the bath room. I chuckled a bit and looked at Kagome.

" The 's' word?" I said.

" I'll tell you later." She said.

Inu Yasha came back with the tissues and I wiped my face.

"Now what happened?" Kagome asked, sounding concerned. I told them how my parents were killed when I was young and how I went through 8 foster families until teh Marshalls adopted me. How Johnson would always yell at me but never hit and how Christine would try to by a mother but by teh end she would just end up telling me not to upset my father. I would usually say that he isn't my father and slam my door in her face. I told them how everytime he would get angry I could feel the anger and how I could feel that he wanted to hit me but he surpressed himself. Until we moved here. After I told them all this, I cried again. Then, I told them that I had never been hugged before tonight. I kept silent after this. The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop even with the wind howling outside. I closed my eyes and leaned on Kagome's shoulder. She turned herself and put my head on her lap and played with my hair for a while before sleep hit me like hurricane force winds.

KAG POV

"The poor girl," I whispered softly after she fell asleep. I looked up at Inu Yasha and he actually looked surprised.

"She's never been hugged?" I thought sadly as I continued playing with her hair.

" I actually feel bad for her." Inu Yasha stated. I smiled softly at him. He looked cute how he looked now. Sitting on the chair, with his ears twitching back and forth, a surprised look on his face. His golden amber eyes fixated on Selena. He looked like he was deep in thought. Then, he noticed that I was staring at him and looked at me. I couldn't look away from him. I was lost in his eyes. Then, before I knew it, he was standing in front of me. He was kneeling to my eye level and his face was a mere inch from mine. I could feel his breath on my lips. My eyes were still locked with his. One thought ran through my brain.

"Is he going to kiss me?"

I finally drew my eyes away from his and looked down at his mouth. I could feel him getting closer. And I couldn't help it, I blushed. So much that my face felt on fire. Then, I felt it. His lips were touching mine. But barely. I almost moved forward to deepen the kiss but he jumped back from me, realizing what had just happened. He blushed, his face turning completely red. He turned away from me and I did the same. I slowly got up and placed Selena's head on the couch. I walked over to him and sat next to him on the other couch. He looked at me, seemingly surprised that I still wanted to go near him.

"Inu Ya-" I started but I was cut off but his lips against mine again. This time I didn't hesitate. I pushed forward and deepened the kiss. I felt his arms close around me and I put my arms around his neck unconciously. He felt so warm to me. I felt myself losing oygen but I didn't want to break away. I slowly loosened my grip on his neck and pulled away. He was blushing a bright crimson color and he was also out of breath.

" Did we..." he said in a dazed voice.

" I think we did..." I replied in a small voice.

He suddenly pulled me closer to him and kissed me again. The passion felt like it was there for a long time. I kissed back and we fell backwards on the couch. We kissed for what it seemed like forever. Then I heard the front door open. He heard it too and jumped off of me. He sat next to me and looked down at his lap. I sat up and looked at my mom and brother who walked in the door followed by Gramps.

"Kagome! I didn't expect you back today. You two are probably starving. I'll make you some ramen." She said smiling brightly. Thats my mom alright. Then she noticed Selena on the couch. She walked over along with Sota and Gramps. They all looked at her.

"Whose she?" Sota asked.

"She's a friend from school." I said to him, then I looked at my mother,"Mom, she can go through the well."

My mother and my grandfather gasped.

I nodded slowly.

Then there was a loud banging on the door.

Selena sat up wide-eyed.

SEL POV

While I slept I had a premonition. I had been getting those a lot today but the ones that came in sleep never hurt. I saw flashes of the living room. I saw Kagome making out with Inu Yasha. Then I saw Johnson throwing me on a bed in my towel. I knew what was going to happen. My eyes opened wide and then there was a loud rapping at the door. I sat up quickly and looked at the door, my heart beating faster than usual. I looked at Kagome. She knew who it was. I saw a woman go over to the along with an old man and a little boy.

I looked at Inu Yasha.

"He's come to get me... Inu Yasha, I need you to follow me home." I said, my voice shaking with fear,"when we get there I'm going to go upstairs and open my window. Its the only one with a tree next to it. And if anything happens... please take me away from there, ok?" I said quickly as I grabbed my things. The door burst open and Johnson walked into the house, yelling my name at the top of his lungs. I looked pleaadingly at Inu Yasha. He just nodded. Kagome then took him into the kitchen. If Johnson saw him, all hell would break loose. It wasn't as if he wasn't mad enough already. Johnson walked into the room, raging. Mrs. Higurashi followed him along with the old man and the boy. She was talking quietly as though trying to explain something. He grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the house before I said anything. I looked back and saw a flash of red which meant that Inu Yasha was following in the shadows. My arm hurt from Johnson squeezing as he pulled me.

" I can walk you know!" I snapped. He just tightened his grip on my arm.

"I told you to stay in the room, but did you stay? No! Now you're in trouble." He mumbled as he dragged me across the street to our house. I looked up and saw the flash of red again as it landed on our roof.

Johnson dragged me into the house and shut the door. Christine stood in the living room, her head was facing the floor and her arms were wrapped around herself.

"Uh oh... Thats not good."

I sensed pain coming from her. But not mostly emotional pain, but pyshical pain.

" He beat her!" Was what came to my head. I lunged up the stairs before he had a chance to grab me, I reached the top and ran into my room. I saw Inu Yasha at the window. I opened it.

"Okay can you tell me why you needed me to follow you?" He asked, souding irriated.

"You can drop the act. I know you're concerned." I said. he looked at me confused and then said," Feh, now whats going on?"

I told him about my vision and his eyes bugged out. I of course left out the part where they were making out, but told him everything else.

"I'm pretty sure its gonna be tonight but I'm to tired to fight him off. I feel like a walking corpse!" I said.

He nodded.

"If he tries anything I'll get you out of here. I promise." He said looking concerned. I smiled meekly and then I heard a banging at my door.

" Go away Johnson.. I have to take a shower!" I yelled at him through the door. I looked towards Inu Yasha again. "Hide behind the window pane so that he can't see you. Okay?" I said. He moved behind the window pane which meant yes, I guess. I grabbed my towel and opened the door. Johnson was gone and I ran into the bathroom.

I undressed and got into the shower.

INU POV

Selena left the room and she turned off the light. I stood by the window. The wind whipped at my face as I stood there. I don't know why I listened to the girl. She just grew on me. I looked in the room and the door opened and a short, fat figure walked into the room. He closed the door after and hid somewhere. I couldn't see where. But I smelt him. He smelt of alchohol and cigarettes and..was that blood? I knew this was bad news. Then I heard the shower turn off.

SEL POV( AN: I tollldddd you that it was mostly gonna be in her POV that was really short lol)

I turned the water off. The hot water had melted the bad things away so to speak. When I opened the shower door, they all came back. I grabbed my towel and looked around. I had forgotten some clothes in my haste to leave the room. I knew then definately that he was going to try something tonight. I walked out of the bathroom cautiously. He wasn't in the hall. I opened my door and walked into my room. I turned on the light. Then, I felt him grab me.

"AAAHH-mmphf," I was silenced by his hand. I held my towel with one hand and he held my other behind my back. he walked me to the bed and pushed me on. Then he climbed on top of me and tried to remove my bath towel. I struggled against him. I scratched his face and arms. I was to tired fomr that days events to fight him off entirely. I bit his hand with was still covering my mouth.

"INU YASHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" I screamed still trying to keep my towel on. Johnson grabbed my arm amd pulled it away from the towel and succeeded in taking it off. Suddenly, he was thrown across the room. I looked up and saw Inu Yasha staring at him.

I grabbed my towel and draped it across myself. The tears were falling freely from my eyes, I couldn't control them. Inu Yasha looked at me.

" Sorry I got him so late. I had to get a clean shot or else I probably would have hurt you." He said in a low tone. A moan from across the room made us both turn our heads. Johnson was standing up.

"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE?" He bellowed, " GET OUT OF MY HOUSE BEFORE I CALL THE POLICE!"

"And tell them what? That I came in while you were trying to molest your adopted daughter?" He smirked. I got off the bed and stood behind Inu Yasha. I put on a long T-shirt and shorts. I grabbed on to him from behind buried my head in his back. He didn't move but he kept smirking and glaring at Johnson. Suddenly, Johnson ran towards Inu Yasha and he grabbed me and jumped on to the bed and then to the door. Johnson looked confused then mad.

"Get out of here now, Selena." Inu Yasha said in a menacing tone. I opened the door and ran out. I don't know why, but i trusted him completely. I ran down the stairs as I heard a loud banging noise upstairs. I reached the bottom of the stairs. expecting to see Christine on the floor unconcious from trying to stop Johnson from molesting me. But I saw her in the kitchen drinking coffee. I gaped at her. She looked up and saw me.

" Y-you're- what are you doing down here?" She asked confused. Then it hit me. I glared at her as I heard a door opening upstairs.

"YOU WERE GOING TO LET HIM DO THAT TO ME WEREN'T YOU! HOW COULD YOU?" I yelled. I lunged at her but someone grabbed my arms and pulled me back. I looked back. It was Inu Yasha. I continued trying to break loose from his grip to go and pummel the woman who was sitting at the table drinking coffee. My tears were now flowing like rivers.

" YOU BITCH! " I screamed as Inu Yasha pulled me up the stairs. At the top I turned to him, still crying.

"Lets get your stuff and go." He said seriously. I nodded and walked to my room. I grabbed my suitcases that had my things in them. Then I grabbed a box that held my school supplies and other personal items. He grabbed the two suitcases and bent over.

"Climb on." He said. I did as I was told. I climbed on his back and he jumped out of the window and on the the tree branch then the roof, then it felts as if we were flying through the air. Touching land every once in a while. We landed at the shrine. I ran inside the house and unknowningly in to the arms of Mrs. Higurashi. I sunk into the warm embrace and cried.

KAG POV

I heard loud crying and ran into the kitchen. Selena was hugging my mom who was stroking her hair and whispering words of comfort. I saw Inu Yasha outside and ran out to him.

"What happened?" I asked, looking back inside.

"Her fake father tried to molest her. Then, she found out that her fake mother was going to allow it and she lost it. I had to pull her up the stairs to keep her from lunging at the woman." He said, looking at me. I covered my mouth and gasped.

"Oh my gosh..." I said.

"Yea, thank god for those premonitions or else she'd be in deep shit right now." Inu Yasha said.

"No," Ii said and looked back at him," Thank god for you."

He blushed and looked away.

"Inu Yasha...about earlier..." I said, putting my hand on his arm. He looked at me.

"Wh-hat did it mean to you?'' I asked tentatively. I took a breath and felt his arms circle around me. I looked up at his face which loomed inches from mine.

"It meant... that I love you Kagome." he said slowly before kissing me again. My eyes remained open in shock but I repsonded the only why I could. I kissed back. My eyes closed. I thought about what he said.

"H-h-he loves me?"

INU POV

I finally said it.

I saw the shock reflect in her eyes but I didn't care. I just wanted her to know. Then, I kissed her. And she kissed back, which was a good sign. I pulled away from her and rested my cheek on the top of her head.

"She smells good..."

Her arounds tightened around me and the scent of salt water soon overcame my nose. I moved back from her to find that she was crying.

"What are you crying for?"

"I...I thought...You loved...Kikyo..." She said.

The last word made me cringe. The thought of the dead priestess made me hug Kagome even tighter. I wiped her tears away. Now, I don't usually act like this so I didn't know what to do next. I said what came to my head next.

"I...did before... but now i don't." I said with a little confidence, but it was slowly fading away. She still had not said the words I needed to hear her say. I looked away from her and onto the floor next to me. Then I heard it.

"I love you too."

It came out as a squeak. Then, she said it again, louder. I turned back to her, smiling. Not smirking. I smiled for the first time in a long time.

"You...do?" I asked quietly., placing my forhead to rest against hers.

" Yea..." She replied. It was good enough for me.

I tilted her chin up and kissed her again.

SEL POV

Kagome's mother told me to look outside. I did and saw Inu Yasha and Kagome kissing. Just like in the premonition. They were all coming true. But the one I saw where he went ballistic is the one I didn't want. I had a feeling that it was coming soon. They looked so cute together. The wind blowing their hair up and her literally grabbing on to his shoulders for dear life. All he did was hold her. I could feel a sense of security coming from Kagome. And happiness from Inu Yasha.

"Do you think that maybe...they told each other how they feel?" her mom said. I smiled to myself.

"I'm pretty sure they did."

Her mom pulled away from me and started making dinner. I went to the door leading outside. I opened it slowly. I walked out slowly and started clapping my hands slowly(AN: lot of 'slowly's there.). The couple looked at me, then blushed.

"Nicccceeeeee performance guys," I said jokingly," I could FEEL the raw emotion from inside." I started giggling and so did Kagome. Inu Yasha looked confused. That made me laugh harder.

The wind was blowing harder than before. I suddenly felt very restless and stopped laughing. I looked towards the well house. Inu Yasha followed my gaze as did Kagome, but Kagome didn't, no, couldn't feel what me and Inu Yasha were feeling.

Anger

Envy

Lust

Greed

Gluttony

Pride

Sloth

I ran over the seven deadly sins in my mind. I felt five of them. But I couldn't distinguish one from the other. I ran towards the well house. Kagome and followed me and as I opened the door the feelings became overwhelming. The wind surged around us as I walked into the the room. Kagome walked in slowly right behind me with Inu Yasha . I ran to the well.

"Something is not right. It's like the well itself has been tainted." I said loudly. The wind had picked up its pace. It felt like I was back in Miami from before I moved here(AN: what you thought she lived in new york?lol). It felt like a hurricane but there was no rain. The wind was very loud. I heard a loud cracking noise. I ran outside and looked at the tree. My hair blew around and my baggy clothes threatened to tear off of me. I couldn't remove my eyes.

"The tree is falling!"
