Chapter 5

I have to…

I don't own inuyasha

In the middle of the night kagome finally decided she had to do it now. Whether she wanted to or not, she had to protect her brother. Kagome looked up to the still sleeping inuyasha. He was so sweet when he was asleep. She sighed and slowly moved his arm from around her and slipped out of bed. She quietly walked to the bedroom door then

heard inuyasha's voice.

"Kagome, what's the matter?" she turned around shaking a little bit frightened by the sudden sound.

"I'm just getting a drink. Go back to sleep." She gave him a reassuring smile and then he rolled over and went back to sleep. She let out a sigh of relief and then continued to the kitchen.

She was standing in the middle of the kitchen and leaning on the island table. Slowly breathing in and out, she sees the giant knifes across from her. He mind screamed no, but her body started to walk towards them and picked one up. It was one of those long knifes that you might cut watermelon with. She just looked at it in her tight grip.

'Why am I doing this? He has been so kind to me….he…he's everything I ever wanted in a man….but now…..souta…' she thought in her head as she slowly walked back into the room. As she opened the door, she saw inuyasha fast asleep on the bed. He palms became sweaty and it was getting harder for her to hold onto the knife. Silently she walked back over to the side of the bed and got in. crawling over to inuyasha's side she felt his arm wrap around her waist. She bit her bottom lip as she leaned on his chest a little bit.

Kagome leaned into his chest and pressed her lips to his as she gave him one last sweet chaste kiss. As her lips left his, inuyasha's eyes opened to reveal kagome with a knife to his neck. He tried to move a little but kagome pushed him back down as the knife pressed harder on his neck.

"Kagome, what the fuck are you doing?" he asked still in a little bit of a groggy voice but more of a surprised one.

"I'm sorry, but it's either your life or my brothers." She said as she sat up on her knees to get a better look at him.

Inuyasha was lying on the bed looking up at this girl. She was so innocent; she would never be doing this if naraku hadn't told her too. Inuyasha sat up on his elbows to talk to her. He looked into her eyes and saw no emotions. She was blocking them off as she did this.

"Kagome...I told you I would help you…if you just…" she cut him off right there.

"NO! No one can help me…I'm in this on my own…" she said looking down.

"No you're not! I'm right here!" he saw her move her hand and grip the knife tighter.

"Shut up!" she pulled her arm up in attempt to stab him but inuyasha moved quick and grabbed her wrist and flipped her so he was almost lying on top of her. Inuyasha's squeezed her wrist a little hard causing her to drop the knife over the edge of the bed. She sat there breathing in heavily and trying to pull her arms away from him, but he had a tight grip. Kagome started to let the tears run down her face as she continued to struggle in his grasp.

"Let go! I have too! He'll kill him, I can't lose him too! Please…." She kept screaming at him as her energy started to die down. She was laying there with inuyasha still holding her to the bed, until he knew she was calmed down enough to talk too. He let go of her hands and sat next to her staring into her eyes. The barrier she had put up earlier had crashed down to the ground and the emotions rushed through. Her eyes were red since she had been crying and the loneliness was evident.

Inuyasha turned towards her and just stared at her. She had sat up on the edge of the bed and looked out the window.

"Kagome, I understand that you don't want to lose your brother…but killing me? That isn't going to put you on naraku's good side. What makes you think he won't do something like this again? What if someone found out what happened? You would be going to jail and Naraku would act like he never knew you." Kagome pulled her arms closer around her as the tears continued to fall down her face. Inuyasha sighed and got off the bed and walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. She turned to look up at him.

"He isn't what he seems….I know…I have been there before…" she turned towards him and just watched him. He couldn't help but remember his past girlfriend. Kagome looked so much like her.

"I'm going to help kagome, because I'm not going to let another woman get hurt because of me." She looked up at him with questionable thoughts.

"Another? What happened to the woman before?" inuyasha looked out the window.

"Some other time…you need to get some sleep. I need to make a call." She just stared at the bed as he walked into the living room with his cell phone.

In a dark room there were two bodies lying on a bed. A phone started to ring and both awoken as one rolled over to shut it off.

"Just answer it…" came a woman's voice. The other picked up the phone and sat up on the bed.

"Hello?" he said as he whipped his eyes and yawned.

"Miroku, I need some help." Miroku rubbed his eyes.

"What is it inuyasha?" miroku sounded a little agitated at the time.

"Kagome just tried to kill me." That woke him up.

"She did what!" miroku yelled into the phone as it woke up the woman in his bed.

"I'm fine! She's fine! I stopped her before she could do anything. But listen…"

"What's the plan this time?" inuyasha smirked on the other line.

"Can I talk to sango?" miroku turned towards the woman in his bed and whispered in her ear as she smiled.

"Inuyasha wants to talk to you." Sango sat up, because when it came to inuyasha she knew it had to deal with Naraku. She took the phone from miroku and covered herself with the blanket.

"What is it, inuyasha?" inuyasha kind of chuckled.

"You know where the loved ones are being held right? From naraku?" sango looked down.

"Yes, I'm the one that has to send food down there remember…" she said in a cold voice.

"Good, then this is what I need you to do…." Inuyasha went into great details as he explained everything to her. Some parts sango definitely didn't want to do, even miroku told him that she wouldn't be doing it. But then inuyasha told them what actually was going to happen they cooled off a little bit.

"Did you get all of that?" he asked as he finished.

"Yes, but how are we going to get you and kagome out of there?" sango asked sounding a little worried about there safety.

"Don't worry I'll get her out safely." Sango sighed.

"Alright, we'll discuss the rest in the morning. Bye." Sango hung up then rolled over towards miroku in bed.

"Why is he being so serious about this? It's just not like him since…." Miroku looked up at her knowing that they were thinking the same thing.

"It's the same story that happened with…"

Inuyasha walked back into the room where kagome was now asleep. He walked over and sat on the edge of the bed next to her. Pushing a piece of her hair away from her face he saw the streaks of tears running down her face. He softly whipped them away with his finger. As his finger touched her silky smooth skin he couldn't help but smile. She looked so sweet and calming in her sleep.

'She looks so much like her…' inuyasha thought as he stood up and walked over to his dresser.

There were a couple picture frames with him and his friends in them. He scanned over all of them and then stopped on the last one. In the picture was inuyasha sitting under a tree holding some woman. He picked up the picture and held it up to his face. He smiled.

"That was her favorite spot…" he said to himself as a tear had dropped down his face. He looked down and covered his eyes with his bangs.

"I'm sorry….I didn't mean to hurt you….I couldn't control myself….That wasn't me…" inuyasha hadn't noticed but kagome was awake in the room. She was still lying in bed only with her back to him so he couldn't tell she was awake. She felt so bad for him, he never did tell her what happened to the other woman. Kagome continued to listen to inuyasha as he blabbered out words and 'I'm sorry'. She couldn't help but tear up a little.

It seemed he had gone through so much, that he pain seemed like nothing. As she shut her eyes she heard him say one more thing.

"I'm so sorry….kikyo…"
