From Hatred To Love

Chapter 47- Good times


Kikyo looked down at the plain clothing that barely fitted her thin body. It was not something that she would usually wear but they had a dress code. The miko stared at the plain gray walls and the cheap, lifeless paintings. She knew she wasn't going to be happy here.

The reality of the situation seemed to hit her when the policemen came for her. Kikyo could still picture her father's shocked face clearly in her mind, when he had heard the news one week ago. He hadn't visited her since.

"Kikyo."

The miko looked up strait into the eyes of a kind looking woman, dressed in a lime green business suit. The look on the woman's face was the most supportive Kikyo had seen in a long time.

"We're ready to take you to your room now."

Kikyo chuckled to herself. 'Room, she says that like if I'm going to camp or something. Doesn't she mean cell?'

"Come along," she said a little too cheerfully in Kikyo's opinion. The woman led her up the dark stairs and to a large room where the sun filtered in giving the area a slight glow. She quickly informed the teenager that she would be taking her classes in the area.

"Now to your room!"

Kikyo clenched her fists together. She wanted to yell at this woman and tell her that it was not a hotel. It was juvenile detention for goodness sake but the miko held back, afraid of what her outburst might cause.

The woman paused at a plain looking cream door that had a locked gate secured at the back of it. She fumbled with the keys and made a funny sound that Kikyo thought to be a swear word before she had found the right key.

"Oh there it is!"

Kikyo looked down at her feet. It was becoming more depressing with each passing second. She woman rested her hand on Kikyo's shoulder and guided the girl into the tiny space that they had the nerve to call a 'room.'

"This is where you'll be for a year, hun."

Kikyo wanted to burst out crying. It was far past her imagination. She hadn't expected the place to be so bad.

A metal bed was placed in the corner of the small space. There was only one window and worst off it had cream bars on it. With the first step into the cell Kikyo felt the tears threatening to fall.

"I'll see you in a couple of hours. Don't worry it's not all that bad. Just think about it, you'll be out into the world in seventeen years! Only seventeen years," the woman encouraged her. She slowly retreated into to the hallway, closing the door behind her with a swift movement. The miko could clearly hear the door lock with a loud 'click.' This further upset her.

She was forever trapped in this prison, with no escape whatsoever. The seventeen year old looked down at the ground and allowed the tears to flow freely down her pale face. She couldn't believe that this depressing room was now going to be her home.


Kagome stared at the clock in school. The teacher was absent so the class was stuck doing nothing. She couldn't believe that almost a month had passed since the incident with Liko being killed. In two days the school was back into its regular routine.

Just a few more minutes before it would become the long awaited summer vacation. Kagome sighed. To her the year had flown by so quickly. The miko smiled to herself as she thought about how much she hated Inuyasha at the time. Simply his existence annoyed her but now, she couldn't dream of letting him go.

She once again glanced up at the clock. Only a few more seconds and the long anticipated summer vacation would start. Kagome couldn't wait. She would once again be working at the nearby daycare center that she had fallen in love with form age fifteen. The children were simply adorable and her employer was kind and understanding.

The loud screech of the bell ended the long silence that surrounded the school. Almost immediately the students began rushing out of the classroom towards their long awaited freedom. Kagome smiled and slung her bag over her back before leaving the now empty room.


"Kagome!" Rin squealed and hugged her friend rather tightly. The miko smiled and gave Rin a small pat on the back.

Kagome looked at the older girl and was surprised to see her dressed in a plain, gray suit. Her hair was held up in a tight, bun and she had used hairpins to stop her usually messy curls from covering her face.

"And where are you off to?" Kagome asked curiously. Rin let out a high-pitched laugh at the teenager's question.

"Why I'm off to business! Sessy finally let me go with him on one of his business trips! We're going to Korea! I'm so excited but that means I'll be leaving Yashie all alone in the house! How will he manage?"

"I'll be fine, Rin!"

The young woman turned around to see Inuyasha standing directly behind her. The hanyou was wearing his usual frown, whenever Rin was talking about him. She once again let out that high-pitched laugh which caused Inuyasha to roll his eyes in annoyance.

"I'm just worried about you. Who's going to make sure you eat and don't oversleep and give you hugs after you've had a bad dream, huh?"

Inuyasha's face immediately flushed with embarrassment. He hadn't expected Rin to bring up the topic about him having bad dreams. The hanyou couldn't help but glance over at Kagome for a brief moment to see her reaction. His girlfriend's hand was covering her mouth but he could still tell by looking into her eyes that she wanted to laugh at him.

"Kagome is not going to be here all the time to take care of you and another thing-"

"Okay, Rin I got it; you'll miss me," the hanyou smirked. His sister in law smiled and brought him into a bone-crushing hug. Inuyasha rested his hand on her tiny back.

"I'll call you everyday! Every chance I get I'll call to check up on you, okay?"

"I'll be waiting for ya call," Inuyasha joked. Rin pulled away from Inuyasha and picked up her tiny suitcase. She handed her luggage to the driver so he could put it away for her.

Inuyasha waved at the young woman when she got into the car and watched for a moment as the limousine drove out of sight. If wasn't long before Inuyasha was once again in a bone crushing hug but this time it was Kagome.

"Hey," Kagome whispered. Inuyasha smiled and slowly brushed his lips over Kagome's for a brief moment. Kagome smiled softly at him before reaching up one hand to touch his ears.

"It seems that Rin is extremely worried about you. She sounds like a mother," Kagome giggled.

Inuyasha frowned and moved his head away so Kagome could no longer gain access to his ears. Kagome stuck out her bottom lip, giving him the look that she knew he would always fall for. Inuyasha made sure to look away.

"Keh, she's too overprotective at times!"

Kagome chuckled at Inuyasha's response to Rin's motherly behavior towards him. She made no move to reply to his comment for she could tell that Inuyasha really did think of Rin as a dear sister to him. She saw the look of sadness in the hanyou's eyes when Rin left a couple of minutes ago. The miko knew that her boyfriend wouldn't admit it openly though.

"So Inuyasha," Kagome began breaking the silence, "What do you want to do?"

Kagome immediately regretted the question when a smile spread across Inuyasha's face.


Kagome shrieked when she witnessed an endless amount of blood flood out of the now dead man's body as he was cut open. The miko could feel Inuyasha's arms tighten around her. She still couldn't understand how Inuyasha could enjoy scary movies. It was strange. He often always found a way to view those types of flicks when she was around.

Kagome's eyes widened in realization. It had now occurred to her why.

"Inuyasha," Kagome whispered, fear evident in her voice. The hanyou looked down at her, putting on a seemingly innocent face. Kagome inwardly scoffed. He was simply using the movie so he could hold her, not that she minded but he didn't have to let her view all the killings.

Kagome opened her mouth to say something but all the words left her mind when Inuyasha covered her lips with his. The miko's eyes involuntarily slid close at the warm contact. Her delicate fingers immediately fisted into his shirt, while the hanyou's hand came to rest on the back of her head, in order to pull her closer.

When Inuyasha had pulled away Kagome wanted to pull him back as quickly as she could. In her mind, the kiss only seemed to have lasted a couple of seconds.

"You look scared," Inuyasha's deep voice, brought her out of her thinking. Kagome looked up into the hanyou's golden eyes and her mind immediately turned to mush. "Is something wrong, Kagome?"

The miko slowly shook her head. Inuyasha smiled and pulled Kagome even closer to her, before caressing her face. His thumb rubbed her soft cheek slowly, causing Kagome's cheeks to flame up at the contact. She could feel his sliver strands tickling her face when he once again began to lean down to kiss her.

"Hey guys, we just came over and we wanted…" Sango's voice trailed off when she witnessed her two good friends obviously in the middle of something. The exterminator's face turned red when the couple turned in the direction of her voice.

"Sango, Miroku!" Kagome said and quickly pushed Inuyasha off her. Inuyasha growled and glared at his two friends.

"Thanks for ruining the moment, guys," Inuyasha said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Miroku chuckled at the hanyou's suddenly bad mood. "You're most welcome. It's our specialty, you know."

Sango chuckled and playfully hit Miroku on his arm.

"Miroku, don't," she laughed.

Kagome couldn't stop her face from turning a bright red color. The miko immediately clutched Inuyasha's shirt and buried her face in his chest. The hanyou raised one eyebrow at Kagome's embarrassment. He was still a little upset from her roughly pushing him off her earlier.

"Hey, what are you guys watching?" Miroku asked and took a seat next to the couple.

"Some old horror movie," Inuyasha said and rested his hand on his girlfriend's back. Sango soon joined her friends on the sofa.

"Wow, looks good," the exterminator commented in a spaced out voice as she stared emotionlessly at the screen.

It wasn't long before the three friends were soon completely absorbed in the film going on before them. Kagome had yet to let go of Inuyasha. She simply didn't want to see any more blood than she had already in the last thirdly minutes of the film.

It took a while but Kagome finally gave in and cracked one eye open to stare at the screen. It was just her luck to catch a person's head being chopped off while blood squirted out of his neck like a sprinkler. The miko whimpered and shut her eyes immediately. She knew that she wasn't going to have any sweet dreams tonight.

The rest of the evening went by uneventfully. When the movie finished it was already late which led to the conclusion that they might as well spend the night by the hanyou since it would take a long period of time for them to arrive back home.

The four all decided that they'd might as well make it a movie night, since Inuyasha seemed to have a large collection of movies. They were now watching an old Japanese, Samurai movie. Miroku and Inuyasha were both sitting on the ground, fighting over popcorn while Sango and Kagome were curled up on the couch.

Kagome glanced around the dark room. She was still shaken by the horror movie that she had viewed earlier with her friends. After the movie had ended, Inuyasha had to pry Kagome's hands off him. The miko felt that she could sense the mass murder lurking around in the darkness of the room. For some strange reason she didn't feel safe. Paranoia was getting the better of her. To her any minute he would jump out and….

"Kagome."

The seventeen year old shrieked and grabbed on to the nearest human body, which happened to be Miroku's. The young woman immediately fell onto the ground with a loud 'thud', her hand still firmly latched around Miroku's neck.

The three teenagers stared at the friend in slight shock. It had taken Kagome a while to realize that it was only her imagination. Her cheeks once again turned crimson as she stared into the surprised faces of her friends.

"Uh, Kagome."

The miko looked down at Miroku who she was still slightly on top of.

"I know you don't like my lecherous ways but could you possibly, let go of my neck?"

Kagome gasped and immediately released the monk's neck before getting off him. Miroku smirked and sat up, still facing the miko.

"You know Kagome, you could have stayed where you were, I wouldn't have minded…"

Miroku stopped when Inuyasha towered over him with a deadly look on his face. Sango soon joined Inuyasha, which made the monk gulp loudly.

"What were you saying?" Inuyasha asked and cracked his fingers. Sango knelt down so that she came face to face with her very perverted boyfriend.

"Say anything else like that again and prepare yourself for the worst beating of your life," Sango threatened. Miroku nodded quickly. He didn't have to be told twice.

This made Kagome smile slightly and forget her minor embarrassment in front of her friends. She stopped smiling when she came face to face with Inuyasha's beautiful face. Her face once again became red from his close examination of her facial features.

"You all right, Kagome?" the hanyou asked and touched her cheek gently.

"Hai."

"Did that movie scare the hell out of you?"

Kagome looked at him. He was now wearing a smug smirk on his face. Kagome's pride instantly kicked in. She pouted at him before folding her arms childishly.

"No."

Inuyasha raised one eyebrow and moved away from her. Kagome inwardly cheered, happy that Inuyasha had given up on his accusations.

"Okay," the hanyou said still a bit unconvinced. Kagome watched curiously as his ears immediately perked up and his golden eyes widened in horror. His head whipped around to face the very dark corner of the room. "Did you hear that?"

Kagome's mask immediately faded as she allowed her fear to actually show.

"Hear what?" she asked in a frightened voice.

"Nah, I must be hearing things," Inuyasha said and touched his dog-ears. "But you know for I second I thought that I saw… nah it couldn't be."

Kagome moved closer to Inuyasha, wanting nothing more to be protected by him.

"Sa-Saw what?" her voice was trembling now. Tiny hands reached out and held Inuyasha's shirt tightly. The hanyou's eyes looked at Kagome's with such intensity that she felt her brain once again turn to mush.

'How could he be giving me a look like that in a time like this?'

"Are you scared, Kagome?" he asked in a mere whisper. His golden orbs entranced Kagome so much that she couldn't think clearly.

"Ye-yes," she said slowly, not thinking about what was coming out of her mouth at the time.

A smile immediately spread across Inuyasha's face, while his eyes sparkled with silent laughter.

"I knew it!"

Kagome's face once again turned into a mask of anger. She immediately let go of the hanyou's shirt and moved away from him.

"Inuyasha," she began in a low, angry voice, "Sit!"

The inu-youkai went face, first into the carpet. This caught Sango and Miroku's attention, who were at the time all over each other. The hanyou growled and pushed himself off the ground.

"Ka-go-me!" he said and wiped all the dust off his face. "Why the hell did you do that, wench?"

"What did you call me?"

"Are you hard of hearing, I called you wench, wench!"

"Hey I'm not a wench!" Kagome retorted.

"Okay, then how about bitch!" Inuyasha suggested sarcastically.

"Inuyasha don't make me say it again!" Kagome said warningly

"Say what, bitch?" Inuyasha asked, obviously challenging her.

"Ah, you infuriate me! Sit!"

"Ack!"

"I told you not to…"

Both Sango and Miroku watched with smiling faces as the couple had another one of their silly arguments. Sango looked over at Miroku and kissed his cheek.

"You know what I was thinking?" she asked and ran her hands down Miroku's cheek.

"That you would love it, if I touched you butt right now?"

Miroku was answered with a hard slap across his face.

"No baka! I was thinking," Sango began and looked over now at her two friends who were now smiling with each other. "I was thinking that, there's no place that I'd rather be, right now, than with you idiots."
