Chapter 18: The Third Monster.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha!
Once at the park Kagome explained how she wanted the music videos to look like. "I also have dance moves and the plots to the rest of the to all of your videos so lets get started." Kagome said clapping her hands.
Five hours later and a trip to 'McDonalds' the group got the music wrote down for Skyscraper and Warrior and discussed where Kagome would sit, stand or walk. By the time the sun set they had all they needed to start filming the music videos for Kagome.
"Okay that's it for the park. Time to get the kids in the bath then in bed, then we can work on Inuyasha's videos." Kagome said and everyone nodded. Ayame and Kouga had plans so they couldn't come over but Sango, Rin and Miroku did come over.
*Break*
A pizza and Kagome's and Inuyasha's songs ready to be filmed later-the gang was in Inuyasha's basement. After working so hard on the videos they had been so exhausted they had fell asleep. Kagome woke everyone up by screaming bloody murder.
Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango shot up and looked towards Kagome. They saw her with her eyes closed with a death grip on her blanket she was shaking crying and screaming. Inuyasha ran over to Kagome and grabbed her shoulders without thinking. Kagome started screaming louder and started punching, pushing and kicking.
Iziyoi and Taisho burst in the basement followed by Sesshomaru. "What happened?" Taisho asked as Kagome continued to fight with Inuyasha.
"Kagome started screaming-ow-now I'm trying to-ow-wake her up-ow. Inuyasha said as he was being hit. "Kagome." He whispered dodging a punch only to receive a kick in the stomach. "Kagome, it's okay-ow- they're not here. It's not real." Inuyasha said running his finger tips down her tear streaked face. Kagome smacked him making one of his fangs cut his lip. "Kagome come back to me please."
"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed. "Help me! Make them go away!" Kagome sobbed still fighting but not as hard.
Inuyasha felt the air leave his lungs but not because of a hit but because he felt completely helpless. He felt his heart breaking as he felt the tears run down his face.
Everyone had tears falling down their faces except for Taisho and Sesshomaru but, like everyone else's, their hearts broke for the girl. Sango buried her face in Miroku's chest when Kagome had cried for help and Rin ran into Sesshomaru's arms.
Kagome finally started to calm down and pulled Inuyasha into a bone crushing hug. Her sobs were so loud, so heart breaking Inuyasha brought his arms up around her and held on tight. "Shh, it's okay. I've got you Kagome. I'm here."
"Who's the third one?" Kagome whispered digging her nails into Inuyasha's back.
Inuyasha started to rub her back-he could hear her heart race, he could smell her fear. It made him sick. "What, Kagome?"
"What do you mean 'who's the third one?'" Sesshomaru asked.
Kagome sighed leaning away from Inuyasha but keeping her head down. "The nightmares are getting worse. I have never woke up screaming before. Before moving here there were only ever two monsters. One representing my dad." When Kagome said 'my dad' Inuyasha started to growl but she didn't stop talking or look up. "And they other one for my mother. But now ever since I've moved here there's a third monster and I don't have any idea who it is. Someone else is after me!" Kagome looked up and instantly felt bad at seeing the blood coming from Inuyasha's lip. "Oh, no." Kagome said reaching up to wipe the blood off. "I-Inuyasha, I-I am so so-"
"Don't you dare say it." Inuyasha said grabbing Kagome's hand gently and kissing her palm making Kagome cry harder.
"This?" Inuyasha gestured towards his lip. "It's nothing but a flesh wound." Inuyasha flashed her a toothy grin making Kagome smile and choke out a laugh. "There's a smile." Inuyasha whispered.
Kagome smiled wider and Inuyasha reached up putting his hands on her cheeks wiping her tears. Kagome lifted hers and grabbed onto his arms closing her eyes. Kagome then felt something land on both her shoulders and look to see Sango and Miroku on either side of her. Rin came and put a hand on her arm as Iziyoi and Taisho came to stand behind Inuyasha smiling at her warmly. Sesshomaru stood behind Rin placing a hand on Rin's shoulder sending Kagome a nod.
"We're all here for you Kagome. We all care about you." Sango said.
Kagome looked around her as her smile slowly faded. She lightly pushed everyone off of her and walked to the other side of the room. "I don't understand." She whispered staring at the floor. "How can you like me? How can you care? This doesn't make any since! This isn't real, no one likes me. No one cares. This is just a dream. A sick dream meant to trick me." Kagome cried.
Inuyasha slowly walked towards her with his hand outstretched to her. "Kagome." He whispered making her flinch but she didn't look up. "Kagome, please, look at me." Kagome looked up and at his outstretched hand. Inuyasha saw Kagome's hand twitch but didn't move from her side. "Kagome, this is real and we all do care about you and your kids." Inuyasha said with his hand still waiting for Kagome to take it.
"But how!? Why!?" Kagome asked taking a couple step back. "All me life I only had one other person that wasn't my kids actually care about me! This doesn't make any since!"
Inuyasha took a step towards her not lowering his hand. "Please, Kagome, just, just trust me. Trust us. We all will do everything in our power to keep you safe. Remember what I said we are all here for you, moving at your pace with what you're comfortable with. No one is rushing you. We all know that this going to take time for you to fully trust us."
Kagome heard the raw emotion in his voice that she couldn't ignore. She took a deep breath, a step forward and put a shaky hand in Inuyasha's outstretched one. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha and broke out in a big smile at the toothy grin that she was slowly starting to fall for. "Thank you guys." Kagome said looking around the room.
Everyone smiled and had a group hug. After they broke apart from the hug Kagome saw almost everyone wiping at their eyes. She looked at Inuyasha and noticed the tears trailing down his face. She reached up swiping her thumb to wipe his tears away. "You all cried for me." She walked to stand in front of Iziyoi and Taisho. "You treated my wounds when I got jumped." She looked to Taisho. "You and Sesshomaru was concerned for me." She walked to Sango and Miroku taking their hands in hers. "Sango you were the first friend that I made when I moved here. You showed that you cared by coming over in your pajamas and your hair a mess when I was having a nervous break down. Miroku you've supported me and called me your friend when you didn't even know anything about me."
She walked to Rin grabbing both her hand in hers. "Rin, you are the nicest most bubbly person that I've ever met. I don't what I did to deserve you and everyone here in this room in my life." She walked back to Inuyasha grabbing his hand placing it on her heart and place her hand over Inuyasha's heart. "And you Inuyasha. I don't know how you broke your way in on my heavily guarded heart. Even though I just kicked your ass," everyone chuckled and Inuyasha smiled, "I care about you a lot. I don't want you out of my heart and if you want it, it's yours. It's damaged and broken but you can have it." Kagome smiled. "Maybe you can help me put it back together."
Kagome looked around the room. "You've all made you way into my heart. I care about all of you."
Inuyasha hooked Kagome's chin with his finger making her look at him. "Kagome, my heart is yours too. And I will make your heart complete again." He leaned in slowly and gently kissed her.
