Chapter 4
(D.G.~ hey sorry it took so long but I haven't been myself lately. I got really sick and the doctor put me on very powerful medicine and it made me go crazy and feel even worse, but I feel better know and now I feel like writing. So here goes chapter 4. Hope you like it. This aint gonna be the last but it will be where I stop for a while. Sorry for those of you who want to finish it.)
Hojo stood there in shock of what he just witnessed. He gathered up his strength and ran up the stairs in pursuit. As he reached the top he found it vacant of any human contact. "Kagome! Where are you?!" Hojo cupped his hands and yelled as load as he could. There was a light at the house on so he ran over to the door. He banged on it twice and waited for a response. A little boy opened the door and looked up at Hojo. "Where's Kagome?" he looked past Hojo and then back up to him. " A.man in red.silver hair. strange clothing. took her." he was out of breath but quickly regained it and took his pasture. " Call the cops Kagome was just kidnapped by a man in really strange red clothing. Where's your mother? I have to tell her." He looked down at Souta still breathing hard. "We don't have to call the cops, it's okay. The man in strange red clothing was just Inu Yasha. He wouldn't hurt her; he and her are in love even though they would never admit it. I read it in her diary. But it's okay, he didn't kidnap her, she's really safe with him, he'd protect her with his own life if he had to. So good night and don't worry she'll be fine. He's my friend." Souta slammed the door in his face and all Hojo did was stare at the door. " She knows him? Is it true.does she love him? That would explain all of the times when she's spacing out. Hum." He stuck his hands in his pockets and walked away with a half broken heart remembering their activity that happened at the party.
~~On the other side of the well~~ " INU YASHA!" Kagome yelled at the top of her lungs, but then changed her mind. //Does he care about me? Is it true?// she settled down and fell limp over his shoulder. After running for a while Inu Yasha stopped running and sat her down on a rock. " Are you mad at me, Kagome?" he looked down at her with a weird look on his face. " No, not really." She looked up at him, her vision getting blurry and smiled at him. "Lets go to Kaede's hut." Kagome stood up but she toppled over. "Are you ok?" Inu Yasha seemed worried but she didn't want him to know she was drunk so she said that she just got up too fast. She then climbed on his back. She then again collapsed against him. She was breathing slowly and deeply onto the back of Inu Yasha's neck.
//He must care about me. I just know it. I've really screwed up this time, why couldn't I see this one coming? I swear I'm going to kill myself if I cant fix this mess.// she wrapped her left arm around Inu Yasha's neck and then with her right hand she stroked his hair out of his face. " Why didn't you tell me you cared about me so much? It would have saved us so much pain." Kagome whispered softly into his ear sending chills down his spin. " Kagome I." he came to a full stop then took her off of his back so they would be facing each other. She looked up at him with her arms still around his neck.
~`*`~ As this played along in her head from the alcohol she was suddenly ripped back to reality ~`*`~
"INU YASHA! Put me down this instant or you'll get it. I'll make it possible for you not to be able to move for a week and that I promise to keep." He still ran leaping into the air and onto a tree then onto whatever he could land on, not thinking that what she said would actually happen to him. " INU YASHA I PROMISE YOU SHALL PAY!!! I SWEAR THIS!" you could her screaming and carrying on all the way to the village. Sango and Miroku ran out of the hut and over to the ruckus. " THAT'S IT I WARNED YOU TWICE NOW I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO ME. SIT!" A big thud hit the floor. As Sango and Miroku found them Kagome was sitting on Inu Yasha's back with his face in the ground eating dirt. Sango walked over to her friend and helped her up. " Are you okay Kagome?" Sango looked at Kagome then down at Inu Yasha lying in the ground. " Yeah fine." She walked over to a rock and sat down. // If you ever do that again I swear you shall pay big time.// Kagome looked down at her dress and started to pat out the lines and dirt. " What did he do this time?" Miroku said kneeling down, Sango slapped him in the back of the head. She walked over to Kagome and sat down next to her. " What happened?" Kagome almost started to cry. " He.he ruined everything." She looked down at her hands on her lap then brought them up to her face to hide her tears.
Slowly Inu Yasha pulled himself out of his ditch and looked over to his right where he saw Sango and Kagome sitting on a big rock. "You wench! Why in the hell did you do.?" " Don't you dare give me that crap! I was having the time of my life and you ruined it. I was finally able to be myself tonight and act my own age and have fun and do things that I want to do but no you just had to show up and ruin what little relationship I had made with Hojo tonight just because you're a selfish bastard!!" by now Kagome was in tears, her fists down by her side her hands almost red with fury. "Oh forget it you have no idea about what I'm talking about." She ran off to the village trying to put space between them. After a minute of running she stopped to catch her breath. As a tear fell down her check she looked back at the ones she called friends. // How could you Inu Yasha? Why did you wait so long to show me how you felt? I finally find a way to get over the fact that you love Kikyo and not me then you go and do this, how could you go and play with my heart? I never would have. Stupid girl, open your eyes and don't speak.// " Kagome wait up!" Sango yelled as she came running towards me. " What do you want?" Kagome wrapped Hojo's jacket around herself for comfort thinking that Hojo was holding her and loving her, being there never letting go, being there for her, caring for her and only her. Taking her away from those who brought sorrow and pain into her life, the way Inu Yasha used to.
" Please don't be mad at me I didn't do anything." Sango looked at Kagome worried about her. " Oh Sango." Kagome couldn't take it anymore; she fell into Sango's arms and cried for a while. " Come on lets go to Kaede's hut. I told Miroku to keep Inu Yasha busy for a while until you feel better and don't feel like biting his head off." Sango still had her arms around Kagome as they reached the hut. Kaede and Shippo were talking and when he saw Kagome he leapt into her arms. "Kagome!" a big smile spread across his face. "Hello little one." Kagome did her best to smile but it still didn't work because he saw through her mask. "What's wrong Kagome?" " You can see right through me cant you?" Shippo nodded his head. " I have to step out for a while, I should be back later. I'm needed in the next village." Kaede stepped out of the hut with her bow and arrows. " Will you tell me now what happened?" " Okay. I was just getting home from a date with Hojo and Inu Yasha showed up. I knew he was hiding in the bushes but still I made no attempt of letting him know. Then Hojo and I were kissing and he gets angry and jumps out of the bushes and throws me over his shoulder and runs off with me. He ruined my date with Hojo." Kagome sat there staring at her hands. "That doesn't sound that bad." Sango looked at the fire then across at Kagome. " That's just part of it. The other part is that I did something with Hojo and if Inu Yasha would find out then he would despise me with every fiber of his being. I loved Inu Yasha for so long but he loves Kikyo so I decided to forget about him and since Hojo was interested in me I went out with Hojo whenever he asked me. I started to have feelings for him and that's why I took it to the next step which is." " Kagome, what the hell was that about back there?" Inu Yasha came rushing into the hut Miroku came in a seconds later. "Sorry, I tried to stop him but he's fast." " Look I'm sorry but you gave me no choice. You made me so angry, I couldn't help it." Kagome looked down at her hands in her lap.
Inu Yasha still angry and annoyed notices a familiar but unfamiliar sent," Wha.what's that smell? Where's it coming from?" Inu Yasha started to sniff the air he walked around the hut then noticed where it was coming from. He looked at Kagome noticing that she was wearing someone else's jacket and if it was one of her friends then he would have known but he didn't recognize the smell but then as he recalled the night he remembered whose sent it was. He narrowed his eyes on her then saw the dress she was wearing. He growled at her. " Kagome I just love that dress of yours is it new? I've never seen you wear it before." Sango tried to change the subject. " Umm.yeah I bought it especially for tonight, for my friend Rumi's party. Here why don't I take off Hojo's jacket so you can see it better." She stood up and slipped the jacket off. Then turned around showing off the dress. " It's beautiful Kagome." Sango held the jacket while Kagome spun around once more. " You look beautiful Kagome." Miroku looked at Kagome with googoo eyes. " Thank you Miroku. What.do you think Inu Yasha?" Kagome looked at Inu Yasha with the usual friendly glare she always gave him. "Feh!!!" he rolled his eyes in annoyance then exited the hut. Kagome frowned. " I thought that if I changed the subject he would forget or not notice that I smell like someone else. I guess I was wrong." Kagome lowered her head and was about to cry again. " Why don't we take a bath at the hot springs and talk some more." Sango stood up and through the jacket down where she was just sitting. " Sure, Shippo do want to come?" Shippo who had been ignored the whole entire time smiled and shook his head yes. " Great we have everything set, lets go." Sango walked over to the door and Kagome grabbed Shippo and they walked out the hut door. " Kirara, come on." Sango called her trusty friend as to say that if they spy on them, Kirara will catch them. " Shippo sure is lucky." Miroku said under his breathe, as the girls walked down to the hot springs.
Kagome walked out of the hut first holding Shippo for support. She had stopped crying but the shiver was still there. She still didn't feel right. The evening's activity played over and over again in her mind threatening to kill her with pain. It was like someone was pushing the buttons to torture her for her actions. She already felt bad but now she was feeling even worse. "Everything will be ok Kagome, you'll see. Inu Yasha will calm down and so will his temper. You'll see, just wait a while." Shippo tried to comfort her but since he had no idea about what was going on it didn't help much. Sango had walked out of the hut only a minute later. " I told the guys the stay here and that I'd find out what was wrong with you just to shut them up. Come on lets go." Sango smiled and then grabbed her boomerang for protection. She ran up to Kagome and they began to walk to the hot springs.
When they reached the hot springs they were fortunate to find it vacant. Shippo had already pulled off his clothes and was about to jump in. " Wait Shippo, where is your floatie? You don't want to have another experience like last time now do you?" Shippo ran back towards Kagome who was holding it out for him to take it. He slipped it over his head then ran over to the water and jumped in. Kagome and Sango got undressed behind the bushes then walked over to the water and slowly got in. Kagome sat back against the rock and closed her eyes. She then began to cry again. She slowly began to rub at her skin hoping that it would fall off. She felt dirty and yet clean at the same time. " Now will you tell me what went on earlier? Kirara's on guard and no one will be able to get close enough without her knowing." Kagome cleared her throat then wiped her eyes. " There's this guy at school, Hojo, and I've been seeing him whenever I have time, that's why I haven't been here as much. tonight was a friends party and I went with Hojo. I had too much to drink, but that's not true it was just a way for me to act like someone else. I lead Hojo up to one of the empty rooms. after he took me home. as he was kissing me goodnight Inu Yasha jumped out from the bushes and carried me off. You know the rest because you were there." Kagome looked down at her hands. " I would never have done it if I knew he did care about me. I was trying to move forward and forget about him." When she looked up she saw her best friend looking at her with a shock on her face full of amazement. If her mouth was open any wider then it would be able to eat her own head. " Please stop looking at me like that and say something." Kagome began to cry once more. " I don't know what to do anymore.I'm going crazy." "I don't know what you should do, it's not up to me. I'm ashamed of you or mad but you got to understand that this is kinda a lot to take in. but if I were you I'd pretend that nothing happened between you and Hojo. Another thing is to keep spending time with Hojo because your not sure if Inu Yasha really has feelings for you, he might just be acting protective over you like a sister. Be with Hojo. He's from your time and that's the time you really belong to. But be sure not to toy with them. Pretend that tonight after the party never happened." Kagome let her friends words go through her mind and then let them take affect on her.
~*Back At The Hut With Inu Yasha and Miroku*~
" Inu Yasha what is it? Miroku looked over to his friend who had his nose up sniffing the air, there was an unfamiliar sent but he could not tell if it was friend or foe. He then began to follow it and that's when he noticed the jacket laying on the floor. He picked it up and smelled it, it had more then one sent on it. There was Kagome's, then Hojo's then a sour kind of smell that he easily recognized as beer. "Feh!" He through the jacket towards Miroku and it hit him on the head with a thump. Miroku squealed in pain but when he looked down he saw a black square on the floor with flames on the front cover. "Is it on fire?" Miroku slowly put his hand to it to see if it was hot. He touched it really fast then pulled his hand away quickly. After knowing it was supposedly safe to touch he picked it up to examine it more closely. He saw that it opened only if you pulled the top tab up it would open, so he did. There were several small compartments; some had a lot of green papers with faces and numbers on them and other small hard rectangular shaped things. One of them had a picture of a guy on it smiling. When he looked through more of the compartments he found a bright colored plastic packet with a soft but hard circle in the package. As he looked at it with a funny look on his face wondering what in the hell it was he through it on the ground. Inu Yasha heard it fall on the floor so he turned around then he too became curious about what it was so he picked it up "latex " he read one of the words on the small packet. " I wonder what it means." Miroku looked up at Inu Yasha who was now studying the package. There was a small rip on one of the sides so he finished opening it. He took out the round thing that was inside and looked at it in his hands. Miroku took it from Inu Yasha to study it too. " It feels weird, like nothing I've never felt before."
Unaware that Kagome and Sango were heading back to the hut Miroku started to unravel it. " it's very gooey." Inu Yasha stood there with his hands on his hips with his head cocked to one side. Miroku held the tip of it where there seemed to be a place to hold on to it. He held it up to the light the fire was giving off so both could see it. There was a blue tinge to it and it was odd shaped. Right then Sango, Shippo and Kagome entered the room. When Kagome walked into the hut and saw what Miroku was holding she nearly fainted. " Wha.where did you get th...that?" she pointed to the condom Miroku was holding. " Miroku looked down at it then back at Kagome. " I found it in this." He held up the black wallet. " That's Hojo's! How dare you go through it, it's not your property. How would you feel if someone didn't respect your property?" her anger flared up and she stomped over to Miroku and grabbed Hojo's wallet. Miroku tried to hand her the condom but she swatted it out of her face with her hand and it went flying into the fire, she then raced outside to the well got go home. Inu Yasha went after her.
"Kagome please wait!" he yelled at her to stop. She did to his surprise. " What do you want Inu Yasha?" // Haven't you hurt me enough? Do you even know what it feels like to be alone? I used to be able to find a way to carry on but know I don't know any more. I thought that maybe you would help me but I'm afraid of you and my own shadow.// " I'm sorry that we upset you so much Kagome. Please forgive me?" he looked down at her. She gave him a fake smile. "I'm sorry too. And of course I forgive you. Really I'm not mad. I just don't feel well." She started to walk away not knowing what else to say. "Wait you forgot this." She turned around and saw that he had Hojo's jacket in his hand. She walked over to him and grabbed it slowly. "Thank you." She gave him another fake smile and kissed him on the cheek then ran off towards the well. He stood there staring after her with his hand still outstretched with a smile of shock and of happiness on his face. \\ Kagome I'm sorry for all of this pain you're going through and I wish that I could be there for you but I think that the best thing for me to do now is let you heal.\\ he then ran back to the hut to join his companions.
(~`*D.G.:: should I end there? Or go on? Tell me, I'd love to hear from you! *`~)
(D.G.~ hey sorry it took so long but I haven't been myself lately. I got really sick and the doctor put me on very powerful medicine and it made me go crazy and feel even worse, but I feel better know and now I feel like writing. So here goes chapter 4. Hope you like it. This aint gonna be the last but it will be where I stop for a while. Sorry for those of you who want to finish it.)
Hojo stood there in shock of what he just witnessed. He gathered up his strength and ran up the stairs in pursuit. As he reached the top he found it vacant of any human contact. "Kagome! Where are you?!" Hojo cupped his hands and yelled as load as he could. There was a light at the house on so he ran over to the door. He banged on it twice and waited for a response. A little boy opened the door and looked up at Hojo. "Where's Kagome?" he looked past Hojo and then back up to him. " A.man in red.silver hair. strange clothing. took her." he was out of breath but quickly regained it and took his pasture. " Call the cops Kagome was just kidnapped by a man in really strange red clothing. Where's your mother? I have to tell her." He looked down at Souta still breathing hard. "We don't have to call the cops, it's okay. The man in strange red clothing was just Inu Yasha. He wouldn't hurt her; he and her are in love even though they would never admit it. I read it in her diary. But it's okay, he didn't kidnap her, she's really safe with him, he'd protect her with his own life if he had to. So good night and don't worry she'll be fine.

Hum." He stuck his hands in his pockets and walked away with a half broken heart remembering their activity that happened at the party.
~~On the other side of the well~~ " INU YASHA!" Kagome yelled at the top of her lungs, but then changed her mind. //Does he care about me? Is it true?// she settled down and fell limp over his shoulder. After running for a while Inu Yasha stopped running and sat her down on a rock. " Are you mad at me, Kagome?" he looked down at her with a weird look on his face. " No, not really." She looked up at him, her vision getting blurry and smiled at him. "Lets go to Kaede's hut."

//He must care about me. I just know it. I've really screwed up this time, why couldn't I see this one coming?

" Why didn't you tell me you cared about me so much? It would have saved us so much pain." Kagome whispered softly into his ear sending chills down his spin.

He still ran leaping into the air and onto a tree then onto whatever he could land on, not thinking that what she said would actually happen to him. " INU YASHA I PROMISE YOU SHALL PAY!!! I SWEAR THIS!" you could her screaming and carrying on all the way to the village. Sango and Miroku ran out of the hut and over to the ruckus. " THAT'S IT I WARNED YOU TWICE NOW I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO ME. SIT!" A big thud hit the floor. As Sango and Miroku found them Kagome was sitting on Inu Yasha's back with his face in the ground eating dirt. Sango walked over to her friend and helped her up. " Are you okay Kagome?" Sango looked at Kagome then down at Inu Yasha lying in the ground. " Yeah fine." She walked over to a rock and sat down. // If you ever do that again I swear you shall pay big time.// Kagome looked down at her dress and started to pat out the lines and dirt.

Stupid girl, open your eyes and don't speak.// " Kagome wait up!" Sango yelled as she came running towards me. " What do you want?" Kagome wrapped Hojo's jacket around herself for comfort thinking that Hojo was holding her and loving her, being there never letting go, being there for her, caring for her and only her. Taking her away from those who brought sorrow and pain into her life, the way Inu Yasha used to.
" Please don't be mad at me I didn't do anything." Sango looked at Kagome worried about her. " Oh Sango." Kagome couldn't take it anymore; she fell into Sango's arms and cried for a while. " Come on lets go to Kaede's hut. I told Miroku to keep Inu Yasha busy for a while until you feel better and don't feel like biting his head off." Sango still had her arms around Kagome as they reached the hut. Kaede and Shippo were talking and when he saw Kagome he leapt into her arms. "Kagome!" a big smile spread across his face.

Kagome let her friends words go through her mind and then let them take affect on her.
~*Back At The Hut With Inu Yasha and Miroku*~
" Inu Yasha what is it? Miroku looked over to his friend who had his nose up sniffing the air, there was an unfamiliar sent but he could not tell if it was friend or foe. He then began to follow it and that's when he noticed the jacket laying on the floor. He picked it up and smelled it, it had more then one sent on it. There was Kagome's, then Hojo's then a sour kind of smell that he easily recognized as beer. "Feh!" He through the jacket towards Miroku and it hit him on the head with a thump. Miroku squealed in pain but when he looked down he saw a black square on the floor with flames on the front cover. "Is it on fire?" Miroku slowly put his hand to it to see if it was hot. He touched it really fast then pulled his hand away quickly. After knowing it was supposedly safe to touch he picked it up to examine it more closely. He saw that it opened only if you pulled the top tab up it would open, so he did. There were several small compartments; some had a lot of green papers with faces and numbers on them and other small hard rectangular shaped things. One of them had a picture of a guy on it smiling. When he looked through more of the compartments he found a bright colored plastic packet with a soft but hard circle in the package. As he looked at it with a funny look on his face wondering what in the hell it was he through it on the ground. Inu Yasha heard it fall on the floor so he turned around then he too became curious about what it was so he picked it up "latex " he read one of the words on the small packet. " I wonder what it means." Miroku looked up at Inu Yasha who was now studying the package. There was a small rip on one of the sides so he finished opening it. He took out the round thing that was inside and looked at it in his hands. Miroku took it from Inu Yasha to study it too. " It feels weird, like nothing I've never felt before."
Unaware that Kagome and Sango were heading back to the hut Miroku started to unravel it. " it's very gooey." Inu Yasha stood there with his hands on his hips with his head cocked to one side. Miroku held the tip of it where there seemed to be a place to hold on to it. He held it up to the light the fire was giving off so both could see it. There was a blue tinge to it and it was odd shaped. Right then Sango, Shippo and Kagome entered the room. When Kagome walked into the hut and saw what Miroku was holding she nearly fainted. " Wha.where did you get th...that?" she pointed to the condom Miroku was holding. " Miroku looked down at it then back at Kagome. " I found it in this." He held up the black wallet. " That's Hojo's! How dare you go through it, it's not your property. How would you feel if someone didn't respect your property?" her anger flared up and she stomped over to Miroku and grabbed Hojo's wallet. Miroku tried to hand her the condom but she swatted it out of her face with her hand and it went flying into the fire, she then raced outside to the well got go home. Inu Yasha went after her.
"Kagome please wait!" he yelled at her to stop. She did to his surprise. " What do you want Inu Yasha?" // Haven't you hurt me enough? Do you even know what it feels like to be alone? I used to be able to find a way to carry on but know I don't know any more. I thought that maybe you would help me but I'm afraid of you and my own shadow.// " I'm sorry that we upset you so much Kagome. Please forgive me?" he looked down at her. She gave him a fake smile. "I'm sorry too. And of course I forgive you. Really I'm not mad. I just don't feel well." She started to walk away not knowing what else to say. "Wait you forgot this." She turned around and saw that he had Hojo's jacket in his hand. She walked over to him and grabbed it slowly. "Thank you." She gave him another fake smile and kissed him on the cheek then ran off towards the well. He stood there staring after her with his hand still outstretched with a smile of shock and of happiness on his face. \\ Kagome I'm sorry for all of this pain you're going through and I wish that I could be there for you but I think that the best thing for me to do now is let you heal.\\ he then ran back to the hut to join his companions.
