Chapter 5: Unraveling
"Is it true? Kagome starred at her best friend in the eyes. As the words went through her head, her vision became blurry with tears of worry and helplessness. What was she going to do? She looked down at her dirty sneakers and started to trace the bathroom floor tile of her favorite burger joint. Wishing that she had never had considered to come along with her friends and had just stayed home in bed. "I knew it! But now what will you do? Have you told Hojo yet?" her friend put her hand on her shoulder to help sooth the girl and make her stop crying. "Rumi, God how can I live with myself? I'm only fifteen and I still have my whole life ahead of me… No I haven't told Hojo. I just found out a week ago. What am I going to do?" Kagome leaned against the bathroom wall for support but her strength gave out and she slid to the floor crying. She placed her arms over her knees and buried her head in her arms hopping to hide her shame. "Okay then, let's put our heads together and think up a plan. Have you thought about maybe giving it up, keeping it or having an abortion?" Her friend looked down at the top of her head and began to worry even more about the kind of state Kagome must be in. "What do you think you're going to do? Are you going to tell Hojo or wait until it's too late? I mean you know that you can't make any major decisions now because it's Hojo's too, but you need to think and let him know what you think…" she kneeled down next to her friend wanting to comfort her but she knew that there were no words to say that would help at that moment.
"You know Hojo isn't the type of person to run or say that it's not his. He'll stand by you because he loves you, hey might even want to marry you." Rumi stood up and walked over to the towel dispenser and pulled the lever twice then ripped the paper and walked over to the sink and ran the cold water, letting the water flow down the drain, after staring off into space for a while she stuck her hands in the water with the paper towel and was brought back to reality. She folded the paper towel after squeezing out most of the water and walked back over to Kagome's weak, frail body shaking in the corner on the cold tile floor. "Here put this on your forehead." She held the towel out to her friend who looked up with read swollen eyes. She took it and still sniffling leaned her head back against the wall. "Oh God what have I gotten myself into?" She pulled her hands to her face to cover her eyes. "Sssshhhhh!" Rumi crouched and pulled Kagome over to her. / God what am I going to do? I can't believe that this is happening to me. I always told myself that things like this would never happen to me and now look at what I've done. I've screwed my life up for sure now; all my hope, dreams and future are ruined! How will I tell mom… gramps…Hojo? Even worse… Inu Yasha/ they sat there for what seemed to be forever forgetting about time when someone walked into the bathroom.
The person spoke softly though it seemed to grow to a scream. "Kagome, you're going to be late." As she looked up to this person talking her vision was blurred and all the walls and floors began to fall away where she was greeted by her soft pillows and warm secure blankets… / A dream it was only a dream./ She sat up slowly and looked at her mother. "Not today mom, I don't feel up to being around people." Her mom sat down on the bed and tried to comfort her heart broken daughter. "Oh Kagome… on time your heart will mend. But until then don't let that ruin your life. If I hid away in my room after your father died I would never be able to the beautiful women you have grown up to be, nor witness the accomplishments that your younger brother has achieved." With that she stood up and left her daughter hiding under her covers with all her pain. The door closed softly and she pulled the covers up to her ears letting her dream and the fight she had with Inu Yasha replay in her mind. /Why cant I be as strong as you Inu Yasha? What can I do to mend things, how will I be able to men things? I don't know where to begin with anything… the more I think the more my head hurts./ She cried out in frustration and buried her face into her pillow as her sobbing shook her body until she drifted off to a troublesome sleep, tossing and turning.
#Dream Land#
"Inu Yasha!" a young girl tumbled forward as a figure with glowing red eyes ran towards her. She held her side and trembled in pain as the full extent of his blow hit her. /Would he actually kill me? Would he actually forget all of our memories and kill me with his own hands? That one thing he feared the most./ As she held onto her side with one hand she began to crawl backwards, but then an devilish grin spread across the demons face and she knew that she wouldn't get away. She gave up all hope of staying alive and gave into her weakness. Her memories of all the days they spent together, and every time he had come to her rescue were washed away as the tears began to spill out of her eyes fro she could no longer hold in the anguish. She was unable to do anything, if she thought saying 'SIT' would work she would have tried it but if she did and it worked then the moment he recovered she would have lost her life. There was no use; he wouldn't stop until she was dead. / but I have no other choice; I need to buy me some time to at least try and get away. It's my only hope if I wish to live./
She whipped the tears away from her eyes with the back of her bloody hand and stared up at the figure bathed in shadows. She cleared her throat, flexed her legs, and yelled as loud and as hard as she could. "SIT!" She shot up and began to run in the opposite direction as she heard the loud thud as his body hit the floor. She ran as fast as her feet could carry her but she wasn't able to get very far because she began loosing more as the wound opened more, the pain was becoming to intense for her to keep running. She was loosing her energy and even though the thought of being killed by the person she loved the most was the aura of her energy, it still began to drain from her trembling form. She let out a cry as she lost her balance and began to fall foreword. She landed hard on her side. She tried to get up but she didn't have enough strength to lift herself up. On her second try to get up the pain doubled so she started to crawl. When she reached the end of the forest she sat in the moonlight that held her spirit strong and unbreakable. She sat and waited for her final moments of life and gave into her pain. As she looked up into the sky filled with a thousand stars she began to search her soul for the answer to either save Inu Yasha and herself or let herself perish, for the pain was too much to handle… the pain of heartache, betrayal, and self loath.
'THUD! THUD! THUD!' the trees in front of the young girl began to fall over, which meant only one thing—he was getting closer. Her heart began to beat fast in her chest and her breath became rapid. Her eyes frantically searched the area in front of her but still she could not see him. Her eyes once again began to overflow with tears. She tried to wipe them away, but when she motioned her arm to move, her body shot full of pain. In stead she busied her eyes by looking down at the hem of her skirt, anything to occupy her mind from the coming danger. Her tears continued to flow down her cheeks then onto her skirt making it darker in one spot. How she wished she was home and out of harms way, but then again at home she would wish to be here. As she continued to look at her skirt the dark figure loomed above her breathing through fangs and growling at what she had done. As he brought his bloody claw towards her, she did not tremble; instead she looked up into his eyes waiting for her fate. He looked into her soul and yet he still had no remorse. He cracked his knuckles then threw his hand back ready to strike. He threw his are forward aiming for her throat. As he drew near she closed her eyes and prayed that it would all be over soon. She felt the sharp iron claws slash threw her skin and warm liquid flowed from the gap. She opened her eyes do that he was her last image, "I.nu..Ya.sha!" she muttered her last words as she closed her eyes.
#BACK TO REALITY#
"I.nu..Ya.sha!"
Kagome sat up in her bed tangled in her blankets and covered in sweat breathing hard. She grabbed her neck; even though she was awake and her nightmare was over she could still feel the pain from his claws. She began to cry once more, she hunched over and drew her knees to her chest to hide behind, one hand still on her neck, her pulse rapid under her touch. /why? Why would I have such a horrible dream? He would never do anything like that to me; he would never hurt me…would he? NO! That's not like him at all. I wonder what made him like that/ now I know for sure that I can't tell him about Hojo and me. He would never think likely of me again. He'd loath me for the rest of my life and then probably after that too. Oh god what can I do/ her sobs grew harder and the reality of her pain took its turn. She cried until she couldn't cry anymore and yet she still had tears to cry with.
OUTSIDE THE WINDOW
Inu Yasha sat on Kagome's roof, listening to her cry after she woke up from a bad dream where she kept speaking his name. When the smell of her tears finally grew too much he jumped in threw the window. Kagome looked up startled at the noise, "INU YASHA!" She attempted to jump up from her bed but was caught in her blankets, but before she was about to hit the floor Inu Yasha was there to catch her, as always. She wrapped her arms around him and cried into his chest as he lifted her up and sat her on the bed next to him.
(D.G. hey wut you think? This is very revised… I was thinking of making Kagome pregnant for real in my story but I rethought it, so be happy, oh ant tell me wut you think, I'd like to hear. I wanna know if I still have it or if I've lost it. The next chapter is ready so let me know and any suggestions will be taken for account of, k…)
