Chapter 13: Apologies.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha!
Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku all ran out and piled in Sango's car-Inuyasha in the driver seat, Miroku in the passenger and Sango in the back.
"Where does she live, Sango?" Inuyasha growled.
"Right next to me!" Sango answered. Inuyasha didn't answer he just stepped on the gas harder. They had to make it there on time! They just had too!
*Break*
The door busted open making Kagome jump dropping her phone, the battery falling out of the back.
Kagome's father came in, grabbing Kagome by the hair and dragging her out. She heard Yuka calling out her name and crying but could do nothing about it and neither could Yuka. They both knew they were in serious trouble. Kagome hasn't learned very much in gym-nothing that would save her from this.
Kagome's father threw Kagome on the bed before jumping on her. Kagome tried to knee him in the groin again but he blocked it grabbing her by the throat.
*Break*
'Hi! It's Kagome! Please leave a message!'
"Damn it!" Inuyasha growked, throwing his phone. Running through the only red light between his house and Kagome's. Pushing the car even faster Inuyasha turned on the street Sango lived on. "I'm coming Kagome. "Please be okay." He whispered gripping the wheel tighter.
Sango was crying silent tears and Miroku was biting on his thumb nail. They were worried about their friend and hoped to get there on time.
*Break*
Kagome's vision started to blur when something came flying through the air, hitting Kagome's father on the head. He let go of Kagome's throat and got off of her. Kagome sucked in greedy lungful of breath she looked to where her father went and saw him grab Yuka by the throat and shoved her against the wall. Kagome shot from the bed, grabbing her lamp and breaking it over her father's head. "Yuka! Run!"
Kagome's father punched her in the face and pushed her back on the bed, ripping her shirt. He was about to yank her pants of when there was a ferocious growl before her father went flying through the air.
Kagome looked and saw Inuyasha grabbing her father and punching him in the face a couple times effectively knocking him out. Inuyasha looked at Kagome-she was sitting on the head of her bed her knees to her chest and her arms wrapped around her legs. Her eyes were huge, one swollen and black. Her jaw was dark with an angry looking bruise her lip was busted and swollen and her nose was bleeding. He saw her shirt was ripped and his heart sank-he made it time before anything happened but he still felt like shit because she still got hurt he wasn't fast enough to save her from getting beaten.
Inuyasha walked towards her slowly sitting on her bed, he reached out putting a gentle hand on her knee. Kagome flinched but looked at him. "Inuyasha!" Kagome cried throwing her arms around his neck. Surprised Inuyasha caught her around her waist.
"Shh, it's going to be okay. I'm here." Inuyasha whispered.
"The police are on the way." Sango said as she and Miroku entered the room moving between Kagome and her father in case he woke up before the police got there.
*Break*
Two hours later and the police finally left.
Kagome sat at her kitchen table surrounded by Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku and Yuka. Kagome was finally able to write her songs after everything that happened.
"Can we see?" Sango asked.
"Nope." Kagome replied.
"Why?" Inuyasha and Miroku asked at the same time.
"You'll hear them tomorrow." Kagome answered.
"Hey! That's no fair! I won't be here tomorrow!" Yuka complained.
"Well, if you stay long enough, I'll sing them to you once I get home from school."
"Okay," Sango sighed, "we better leave. I have to go pick your kids up and bring them to you."
Kagome started to panic she didn't want to be left alone. "Actually, Inuyasha do you think your mom would mind to much if she watched my kids for the night? Would you guys please stay? Miroku and Sango can have the guest bedroom, Yuka, my son has a twin size be you could sleep on, and Inuyasha, umm, can sleep in my room."
Sango took out her phone to call Inuyasha's mom then left the room. About twenty minutes later she came back. "I explained what was going on and Iziyoi would be happy to watch the kids through the night. She said they were already asleep anyway." Kagome nodded.
"Thank you." Kagome said.
Miroku and Sango went to the guest room while Yuka went into Hiro's room. Kagome sighed as she slipped under her covers and looked at Inuyasha. Her heart pounded but she was shocked when she felt no fear. She looked at his eyes and saw his silent question. She smiled, "it's okay, Inuyasha. You can lay with me."
Inuyasha nodded-keeping his movements slow, keeping his eyes focused on her making sure there was no sign of fear. When he was under the covers he kept his distance and his hands to himself waiting to see what she was comfortable with, moving at her own pace.
Kagome lifted her hand and ran her finger tips across his face. Inuyasha sighed and closed his eyes. "Kagome, I'm sorry for what I said earlier and for what I called you. I'm even more sorry that I didn't get here in time and you got hurt." Inuyasha whispered.
"Inuyasha." Kagome whispered. Inuyasha kept his eyes closed. "Inuyasha, open your eyes." Inuyasha listened and slowly opened his eyes. Kagome ran her hand through his hair. "You saved me Inuyasha. You were here when I needed you the most and for that I am so grateful for you."
"I'll always be here for you, Kagome." Inuyasha confessed slowly bringing his hand up and tucking her hair behind her ear. Kagome smiled a small smile. Kagome then did something that surprised both of them. She leaned in and captured his lips with hers tangling her hand in his hair. Inuyasha cupped her cheek with his hand. It felt so right, so natural kissing each other.
After a couple seconds they pulled apart looking in each others eyes. Kagome smiled and reached up to capture an ear between her fingers massaging it gently. Inuyasha smiled gently tracing her jaw line with a claw.
Kagome sighed and snuggled up against his side-laying her head on his shoulder and wrapping an arm around his waist. Inuyasha protectively wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. They both fell into a peaceful sleep.
please review. Until next time, bye!
