Chapter 4
To THE MALL!
"So Kagome, we've been sitting here in traffic, COULD YA'LL MOVE ANYSLOWER!" Sango yelled out her window," like I was saying, in traffic for about, what? 15 minutes now? And we still haven't talked yet! I think we should play 20 questions while we wait! That way we can all learn a little bit about each other!" Sango said with a grin while laying on her horn.
"Ok, I guess that's a good idea." Kagome said slowly while tightening her seat belt a little bit. She hadn't known Sango for long, but already saw the signs of reckless driving and road rage.
Sango fixed the silver butterfly clip in her hair and went to on ask her first question, turning her gaze away from her rearview mirror and back to the road.
"How old are you?" she started
"16"
"Grade?" Sango continued quickly
"11th"
"Favorite subjects?" Miroku added
"Chemistry, Journalism, Biology, and Archery."
"Favorite colors?" Inuyasha questioned
"Black and Green"
"Favorite food?" Sango followed up, taking her eyes off the road as the traffic started to move faster, her question followed by a series of honks and screams.
"SHUT UP YOU FUCKERS! WE'RE TALKING HERE!" Sango yelled back, " SO, favorite food?" Sango asked again as she turned her attention back to the road started to drive again.
"…. Macaroni and cheese." She said embarrassed
" Macaroni and cheese!" Inuyash howling with laughter at her answer.
"Yes! Macaroni!" Kagome said defiantly, a small blush creeping up to her cheeks
"Favorite band?" "Favorite Car?" "Favorite actor?"
The questions came flying and Kagome was lousing track of who the questions were coming from, so she just started answering the questions as fast as she could, not even thinking about her answers.
"Linkin Park, Jeep, and Tropher Grace." She answered
"Cutest guy!" Miroku asked quickly
Kagome not even thinking about her answer, and trying to get ready for the next question blurted out,"Inuyasha" and brought her hands to cover her mouth after the comment, completely regretting her answer. "I mean…uh….No comment?" she said as her face turned a deep shade of red.
Miroku and Sango just giggled at her comment trying not to burst out laughing, while Inuyasha just sat there in shock.
'I can't believe I said that! What is my problem! Stupid Kagome, Stupid!' she yelled at herself
'She thinks I'm the cutest guy? Well she's defiantly the most beautiful girl I've ever seen! So hot! And god! She has such an amazing body, and those curves! I'm getting hard just thinking about it! And I could get lost in those warm chocolate eyes!'Inuyasha imagined, getting lost in his thoughts, the sharp turn Sango made to get off the highway jerking him back into the real world
Kagome, getting a little nervous at the silence, began to babble," That was about 20 questions right? Oh look, is that the Mall? Yep! See, it says 'Mall' right there! Silly me! Lets park so we can go in, ok? Yeah let's park!" she said quickly
Sango began to laugh at her nervousness," It's ok Kagome! Calm down! Nothing was wrong with your answer, it was just funny to hear you say it! Now calm down and lets go inside and have some fun ok?" Sando said with a smile
"Ok" Kagome said hesitantly
"Are you sure you want to go in, in that?" Miroku pondered his eyes looking her over as they got out of the car.
Kagome looked down at Inuyashas baggy t-shirt and plaid boxers and glanced over at the others and laughed.
Sango was wearing a short-sleeved white blouse and a knee length jean skirt with a pair of clunky boots, her hair piled into a ponytail on the top of her head, and her eyes accented with just a touch of magenta eye shadow. Miroku himself was also looking pretty good in a black t-shirt, faded jeans and, black vans; his hair was pulled back into a small ponytail and he had two gold earrings in his left ear. Inuyasha had on a black Linkin Park t-shirt, faded blue jeans, and a pair of red and black vans, which he left untied, his long silver hair down laying roughly on his back, gleaming in the sunlight. They looked amazing, like models getting ready for a shoot, and compared to them, she looked like a beggar.
The group gave Kagome a funny look at her sudden burst of laughter, not understanding what was so funny.
"I'm sorry! I was just comparing myself to you guys! God, in comparison, I look horrible!" Kagome laughed
'She has no idea how wrong she is!' Inuyasha thought, 'She looks like an angel, my angel'
While Kagome was laughing Miroku took a moment to go behind her and say a proper 'hello'.
Kagome immediately stopped laughing as she felt a hand softly groping her ass.
"Hentai!" Kagome and Sango screamed as they slapped him
"WHAT? I was just saying hello!" Miroku said giving them an innocent look
"Hello my ass!" Sango said with a frown
"And what a nice ass you have if I may say so Lady Sango" Miroku said with a smile
"Hentai! You just don't know when to give it up, do you?" Sango yelled at him," Well, ME and Kagome are going to go shopping alone! We'll meet you in the food court at 3!" Sango said glancing at her watch
" Bye, Bye, boys!" Kagome and Sango giggled as they headed into the mall.
"They ditched us!" Miroku said shocked
Inuyasha just leaned against Sangos red Toyota shaking his head," I don't blame them; I'd ditch you to if I was them! God! Do you HAVE to hit on every female? You know, Sango would actually probably like you if you didn't hit on every women you see!"
"Really?" Miroku said with a perverted smile," Interesting…."
"How did I become friends with you?" Inuyasha said rolling his eyes," Come on, let's head inside, the girls only gave us 3 hours to shop!" Inuyasha said sarcastically
"What are we going to do for three hours?" Miroku said his eyes widening at the thought
"I don't know stupid!" Inuyasha said rolling his eyes," We could hang out the arcade and waste all our quarters on videogames?" He suggested
"Cool", was Miroku's only reply as they left the parking lot and headed for the inside of the mall.
Inside the mall, Kagome and Sango were hitting the shops as fast as they could.
"Hey Kag, what do you think of this shirt?" Sango asked holding up a tiny, pink, satin shirt
"Skanky!" Kagome said and then burst out laughing
"What? I think it's cute!" Sango said defiantly as she picked it up and headed to the dressing rooms.
"Who are you wearing it for?" Kagome asked softly
"Excuse me?" Sango said with a blush
"The only reason a girl wears a shirt like that, is if there's a guy they want to be noticed by. So who is it?"
"That's not true! I….I just like it!"
"So, Miroku?"
Sango blushed furiously," NO!"
"Uh huh!" Kagome said with a grin
"Well what about you?" Sango asked while getting in line for the dressing rooms
"What ABOUT me?"
"You and INUYASHA?"
"GOD! He's my new brother! That is so wrong!"
"You aren't related by blood, so you'd be doing nothing wrong." Sango said as she stepped into the dressing room
Leaving Kagome to think about what she just said.
At the arcade Inuyasha was just about to beat Miroku for the third time and "Blood Rein"
When he caught a glance at the time.
"SHIT! It's 3:20! The girls are going to kill us!" Inuyasha said grabbing Miroku by the collar and running out of the arcade.
"Where are they?" Kagome said nervously looking at her watch," I though that they'd be here by now" a sad look draping across her face.
"I don't know what it is, but I seem to have lost all trust in all people." Kagome said sadly, dropping down onto a hard blue chair, staring at the tiled floor
Sango was surprised at her openness, from what she knew about Kagome she didn't share much. So she sat down, tucking her hair behind her ears, waiting patiently for Kagome to continue as people rushed by them in a hurry to get their shopping done.
So right there in the middle of the mall, Kagome opened her heart and let herself go, tears forming in her eyes, no longer able to stand the pain that had been shed upon her for too long.
"I've never told anyone this before, but… I found my parents," she said still staring at the floor.
"That's GREAT Kagome! What's so bad about that?" Sango asked
"Their fine" she said softly
"I don't understand Kagome" Sango said confused
" She's a doctor, and he's a lawyer, and they have a nice house, and live in a beautiful neighborhood. They have a child, a son, my little brother. Souta, and he's beautiful. He's in the third grade now, and he is very loved." She said softly
" I still don't see the problem"
"DON'T YOU GET IT?" Kagome yelled," She's not some prostitute who can't have a child, and he's not some stupid druggie! It isn't even that they don't want or don't like children! They just didn't want me." She said as she began to sob
Sango got up out of her chair and went over and took Kagome in her arm, holding her close trying to comfort the girl.
"Nobody wants me!" Kagome sobbed even harder laying her head on Sango's shoulder, enjoying the protection of her arms," I mean, I'm 16 for god's sake! And I've just been adopted! For 16 years nobody's wanted me, loved me, or cared for me! I was beat when I did something wrong and the orphanage workers didn't even care about what happened at lights…out!" Kagome hiccupped into Sangos shoulder as the horrible memories came flooding back to her.
"Lights out?" Sango asked while pulling away slightly to look Kagome in the face
"Sometimes the boys would get board,"Kagome started, taking a deep breath," And the most of the girls were pretty, and weak. So at lights out, when we were to suppose to go to sleep, the boys would come in and pick out their 'lovers' for the night. If you tried to get away they would beat you, or grab you and rape you. We tried everything, we even went to the headmaster to get her to help us, but she turned us away and accused us of lying and sentenced us to whippings for 'lying' to her. I, myself, was lucky, I was never raped. The boys would try over and over again, but being strong willed, I never gave in, so I was beat by there hands countless times night, after night. And, being weak I would cry. I would cry as they beat me, praying to god to let it end, and just kill me there, because I saw no way it could get better. And then, the Tamas came, looking for a girl to adopt. So I went around and introduced them to all my friends and all the cutest little girls hoping that I could help them find a family and get them away from that horrible place, so they could have a better life and not live their lives like me. And then, the next day the Tamas came back, and asked me if I would like to join their family, and I cried. I was finally going to leave that hellhole, and I would have a family that cared for me and loved me! Really LOVE me! And then I met Inuyasha, that short-tempered, golden-eyed boy. He was so nice, so handsome, and so caring, and I couldn't have him. I was now a part of his family and was not allowed to the love him the way I did, and still do. To make it worse, I soon realized it was unrequited love, and that I was once again alone, but worse, in love with the only boy I couldn't have. The only boy that has never treated me like an object, a sex toy, and then only boy I've ever loved, and I can't have him no matter how much I want him. And that, is the worst pain I have ever felt, in my life."
"My God Kagome" Sango said shocked pulling her back into the hug and holding her close as they cried in each others arms
Their moment was soon interrupted by Inuyasha had Miroku who gotten distracted by the new video game store on their way to the food court.
"Sorry it took us so long girls, did we miss anythi…" Inuyasha said as he ran up to them Miroku trailing behind him
"What happened?" He questioned the crying girls
"Nothing" Kagome said wiping away her tears
"Yeah, just," Sango said blowing her nose while looking at Kagome, who was trying to make it look like she hadn't been crying," just girl talk, secrets, you know!" she said forcing a smile, Kagomes suffering causing her to feel depressed and worn out.
"I think it would be a good idea for us to go" Miroku said softly, while giving worried looks to Sango and Kagome, both of which now looked thoroughly depressed.
The ride home was silent, Sango giving the occasional glace back to Kagome, and Inuyasha staring out the window, looking at nothing.
'What happened while I was gone?' he pondered as it started to rain, the drops soothing him as he layed his head onto the edge of the seat, his gaze still fixated out the window. He watched the rain hitting the window softly, and colliding with the other helpless bits of water, forming into huge water droplets and slowly sliding off the window
'She's so beautiful, I hate seeing those gorgeous eyes lined with sadness and fear.' He thought sadly to himself,' I don't know how it happened so soon….but I feel such a passion with her, she means so much to me, her innocence, her beauty, her wit and how caring she is. It already hurts to think of not having her in my life.' he thought. He snuggled deeply into the seat of the car, turning slightly, laying his head softly, into the warm back of the seat, and slowly closed his eyes, feeling sleep come upon him.
'How can I go on like this.'Kagome pondered sadly, "Every time something good happens to me, it always gets destroyed. How can I love Inuyasha so soon? Is it because I can read his soul? His deepest feelings? Is it because he feels, what I feel? Is it because he cares so deeply? I have never in my life felt passion like this before. So amazing, so heart consuming.'
Kagome slowly looked over at the beautiful silver haired hanyou, and smiled silently to herself as she saw he curled up into a little ball, making him look so innocent. She watched him take deep even breaths, his lips fluttering with each breath. Slowly, leaning over and holding the boy in her arms, she closed her eyes as well, the soft pounding of the rain slowly made her drift off into a deep sleep, her head resting softly atop his.
They reached Inuyashas house after a good two hours in the car, it taking them along time to slowly trudging through the traffic. Sango gently shook Inuyasha, not wanting to disturb Kagome from her sleep, fearing she probably hadn't had a good nights sleep in many years.
Inuyasha woke up a bit startled, finding himself in Kagomes lap.
"Inuyasha?" Sango whispered
"Yeah?" He whispered back trying not to move, not wanting to upset the sleeping girl.
"Do you think you can get Kagome inside without waking her?" she asked
"Yeah" Inuyasha said, slowly moving himself out of Kagomes wonderful arms," Thanks for the ride Sango."
"Your welcome." She whispered," I'll drop off Kagomes bags tomorrow, it's not important right now though."
"K" Inuyasha replied Taking the girl into his arms, enjoying her amazing scent, finding himself becoming shocked as she snuggled closer into his chest." I guess, we'll see you and the sleeping pervert there, tomorrow." Nodding his head toward Miroku who was laying his head against the window, sleeping deeply.
"G'Night Inuyasha" She said as her started to kick the door shut, "And Inuyasha?" she said right before the door cut her off
"Yeah?" he said getting slightly irritated
"Take good care of her, ok?" Sango said seriously, worry apparent in her eyes
"Don't worry, I will" and with that he shut the door with his foot and walked up the stairs to get into the house.
He kicked the door with his foot, a slightly angry Sesshomarou opening the door prepared to yell at the Hanyou, until he saw the young girl sleeping peacefully in his arms.
"Take her upstairs and put her to bed Inuyasha, she must be exhausted." Sesshomarou said walking away leaving Inuyasha in the doorway.
Inuyasha slowly started his journey up the stairs; trying desperately not to disrupt the beautiful girl him is arms. He made it to his room, and layed her down on the bed, putting the covers over her shivering body. Taking off his pants and shirt, he stripped down to his boxers and white undershirt, finally pulling up the covers once more, joining her in bed. He lightly draped his arms around her slim waist and cuddled up to her, her scent and wonderful warmth soothing him. Looking at her sleeping form, he whispered softly," I love you Kagome… sleep well." And with that, closed his eyes and joined her in some much needed sleep.
