Chapter 8: Hidden Feelings, and More Problems

Kagome sat silently doing her homework in Inuyasha's hospital room. It had been two days since the attack from Kikiyo, and tomorrow, Inuyasha would be going home. All he did was lie in his bed and look out the window. He didn't say anything to her. Kagome had ended up doing his homework for him. He just didn't seem like he cared. He hadn't even said anything to her since he had come around.

She sighed as she looked down at her calculus homework. Everything was a mess and she couldn't even get Inuyasha to tell her anything about him. The whole Kagome/Inuyasha time deal had died away after the attack. Silently, Kagome closed her book and looked at him. How can I get something big out of him, when I myself, cannot give anything big? Kagome wondered to herself. Then with a deciding nod, she took in a deep breath.

"Inuyasha?" She asked softly. She saw a small flinch at the sudden sound, but he did not move. "Remember our Kagome/Inuyasha time we had started?" She continued. He nodded out the window. Happy to get a sign from him, she moved her chair close to the bed. "You might have noticed my...dislike of my mother." She started slowly. Inuyasha turned his head towards her and looked up in interest. Remember what I told you about my dad? Well, the anger and situation just went down hill from there. As I said I was 6 at the time, and missed him very much. Sota was to young to remember him, and Mom was always to busy getting drunk to care." She said, paining coming to her eyes in tears. "But I was 6, and my mom was the only thing I had left. She was my light in the darkness, but she didn't always shine when I needed her. And I needed the love a mom should give a grieving child, but I never got it..." the tears were starting to flow down her cheeks as she said these painful words. The tears fell upon Inuyasha arms that lay still upon the bed.

"But like I said, I loved her like any daughter does. But that night...I had a fire in me that burned of pure hatred for her." She said through gritted teeth. She pulled her hands and the beds sheets into a tight ball as the memory came back to her. "After about a year after my fathers death, my mom became a worker a Food Lion slash hooker. She was obsessed with sex and drugs. But it never really effected Sota and Me until that one day. I had picked Sota up from School and we had walked over to my moms job to get a ride home. She told us to go wait in the workers lunch room and wait for her. Well after about two hours we walk out to see where she is, and one of her work friends said that she wanted us to wait outside while she got the car.

We did and we sat on the curb until 9:00, like good little children." She cried, the tears coming out faster now. "She had gotten drunk and forgot about us in the workers lounge. She then decided that she would got to her 'second job' and pick up some clients at a club." She said, the words swelling up in her throat.

Suddenly she threw her self onto Inuyasha's chest ad sobbed into his hospital gown. "Sota caught Pneumonia and almost died that year! That bitch didn't even cared!" she cried, letting it all go. She didn't care anymore, she just wanted all the pain to go away. All the hatred to leave her body and float away. She wanted to be numb again! To feel nothing and have no senses. She wanted to tell it all to him and only him. But he wouldn't understand the rest. Not after what she had done to that girl...

But suddenly she felt a hand upon the back of her head. She felt it slowly stroke through her hair, comforting her. "Its okay Kagome, let it out..." Inuyasha comforted. Kagome continued to sob into his chest, letting his comforting hand sooth her tired soul. She cried until she felt her self slip into sleep, and there was no more pain left to feel.

Kagome awoke to a soft motion. Her head was slowly rising and falling, as if rocked by the smooth waves of the ocean. She could also feel something resting on the back of her head. As she lay there, rocked by the soft motion, she started to remember everything that had happened. She had confessed a painful part of her past to Inuyasha, and then cried uncontrollably.

Slowly, she lifted her head up and looked to see Inuyasha asleep. As she raised her head, she felt the hand on the back of her head slide down and rest upon her back. She liked the way it made her feel. She felt so secure next to him. She wanted to remain his for all eternity, and never leave his side. Is this more than a friendship I'm building? She wondered to herself.

But a sharp knock on the door made her sit up strait, letting his arm fall back to the bed. Stretching her stiff back, Kagome stood up and walked over to the door. But as she reached for the door knob, something inside told her not to. "Who is it?" she asked in a fake deep voice. "Inu-baby! It's me! We need to talk about our discussion the other night." Kikyo's voice rang out. That Bitch! Kagome thought with anger. Ignoring all her common sense, she threw the door open, only to see a sad sight. It was Kikiyo standing there, with an arrow aimed straight at her heart. "Foolish wench!" she yelled through gritted teeth. Kagome was frightened, and angered at the same time. How dare she mess with her? After all the pain she was going through? She had suffered enough! The bitch was going to die!

With a cry of anger Kagome shoved aside the bow and arrow, and drug Kikiyo to the ground. They kicked and scratched at each others faces as they rolled across the floor. The hospital staff were yelling for help, trying to break the two girls apart, but no avail. Suddenly Kikiyo kicked Kagome back into a cart of syringes, and ran for her arrow. With Anger, Kagome grabbed a syringe and dove at Kikiyo, plunging it into her heart. But at that same moment, she self t sharp pain go through her chest.

She looked down to see Kikiyo's arrow going through her chest, but it was glowing purple. "You foolish wench!...you h-have made...the b-b-iggest mistake...ever!" Kikiyo laughed, coughing up blood. "I will now live on...i-in you! Tormenting you...f-f-f-from the i-i-inside!" She coughed. Then with one last sickening smile she and her arrow started to fade and formed a bright purple ball, which entered the whole in her chest. Then with a bright glow, the whole sealed itself, and the signs of a struggle vanished, leaving Kagome stunned from what just happened.

It that not the coolest thing you ever read? I jus thought of it as I went, and I was like "That is sssoooooo perfect! LOL1 Stay tuned ofr another chappie soon!
