Recall: Nice

The feeling was nice.

"Trust me, okay?"

"You won't leave me alone will you?"

"Nope." She giggled.

"I guess it would be okay if we walked to detention." He then grabbed her hand, escorting her away. She blushed at the contact as did he. But it felt…

Good

Relaxing

She could breathe easier.

Chapter 6: How to Feel Pain

It was strange for Kagome. She hadn't felt so at peace since her mom was still alive. Here Inuyasha was practically dragging her to detention, their hands intertwined with each other. It was one thing to just hold her hand but no, their fingers were laced.

Almost like a couple.

Kagome blushed at the thought of that. Even if this was a nice feeling, she knew that it wasn't going to last for very long. This is still not the time for me to be having romantic feelings. I don't want him finding out anything else. I'm already going to be in trouble, I can only imagine what's gonna happen if he were to find out all the shit that I've had to deal with.

Inuyasha was proud of himself. He was getting Kagome to

Pretty soon they made it to detention. Sure, they were late, but the professor was more interested in his newspaper than worrying about who showed up and who didn't show up. Realizing that Inuyasha was still holding her hand, she pulled from him. Inuyasha looked at her with confusion. Was she embarrassed?

"What's wrong?" He asked. Kagome blushed harder.

"J-just gonna sit down." She laughed nervously before taking a seat in the back of the class. Inuyasha just sat down next to her. She didn't look his way, instead she started to play with her hair.

"You know, you don't have to be scared of me." He told her, making her look his way. "You can talk to me and tell me what's wrong." But, she wasn't scared of him. Quite the opposite. He did nothing that that would frightened her.

"Inuyasha…" She stopped talking once she saw who entered the room.

Koga

Oh ya, I forgot he had detention. She groaned before turning away from Inuyasha. Please, I don't want him talking to me. Let's just get through detention and it'll all be over soon. Then I can get out of here and worry about other shit.

Unlikely

The teacher watched Koga and two of his wolves sit down. His tired eyes then looked around the room, his glasses at the tip of his nose.

"I assume everyone is here, now?" He asked in a somewhat sarcastic tone. No one said anything. "Good." He stood up and stretched. "I hope you all will behave as I go to the teacher's lounge." Kagome's eyes widened as he took his note pad and left. What kind of a teacher leaves a classroom with a bunch of delinquents? Kagome asked herself, fully aware that she referred herself as a delinquent. Obviously an overpaid jerk.

Feeling a bit more comfortable, Inuyasha went up and sat on her desk. Kagome looked at him rather annoyed. What is he doing?

"Do you mind?" She asked, crossing her arms.

"We still need to talk." He responded. Kagome glanced around him to see Koga, glaring at her, almost daring her to say something. She shrugged.

"Nothing to talk about."

"That wolf over there ain't shit. Tell me what's up." Is he trying to get me killed?

"Just…"

"Hey." The two looked to see Koga now leaning on Inuyasha's desk. Inuyasha growled warningly. He wanted Koga to step off of Kagome.

"Isn't there another girl you can fuck with?" Inuyasha asked him.

"None fit my needs like Kagome." She rolled her eyes.

"Can both of you please go away? I'm getting a head ache…" She rubbed her temples, as if trying to stop the pounding sensation she was feeling.

"Maybe your new boyfriend will get you some meds."

"He's not my boyfriend." Kagome saw his ears drop for a second before springing back up. Was he really upset? We're not a couple or anything…

"That's not what it looked like in the hall."

"Why the fuck were you watching us?" Inuyasha asked, now standing up. Koga got up as well, to show he wasn't intimidated by the half demon.

"Who needs to watch? Ya'll weren't hiding it."

"There was nothing to hide." Kagome said, now standing up as well. "I don't have to answer to you so fuck off-" Before she could finish her sentence he reached out to attack her. She moved out the way while Inuyasha grabbed him.

"You really think I'm gonna let you hurt her?"

"Fucking mutt." Koga went to punch him, but he ducked, swung Koga's arm around his back and pushed him against the wall.

"You're really getting on my nerves, ya mangy wolf." One of Koga's friends went to help, but Inuyasha elbowed him in the head. When the other came over, Inuyasha just pushed Koga over to him, causing both of them to fall. "Do we really need to go through this again, wolf?" He asked, walking over to Kagome while wrapping his arm around her.

"You're gonna get it mutt." Koga said looking pissed. Kagome was getting entertained by this. At least Inuyasha can kick his ass. She thought to herself, silently laughing at Koga's weak state. "You should've minded your fucking business, now you're in the shit now." Koga then turned his attention to Kagome, making her shake in fear a little. Inuyasha just held her tighter. He said nothing, just glared at her. For some reason, total silence scared her more than threats. Soon, he motioned to his wolves and they were out the door.

Kagome inhaled deeply, now that the menace was out of the room. She still couldn't help but think about him saying that Inuyasha was now in their situation. Well that's obvious since he won't keep his little nosy self out of it. But, are they gonna hurt him? Sure he seems like he can take care of himself, but I'm not worth this aggravation. Inuyasha looked at her with those beautiful eyes; his head touched hers while his hand caressed her cheek.

"Are you okay?" He asked. She gave a weak smile.

"I will be." They were silent for a while. Just looking around the class awkwardly. "Well…I guess there's no point of staying here. No one really around to stop us." She grabbed her things and was about to head out when Inuyasha pulled her back by her waist. This made her flinch in pain. Shit, I forgot about that cut Naraku left. She thought, holding the spot where the cut was. I hold it's not opening. I don't need to explain why there's a huge cut on my side.

"What happened? Are you alright?" Inuyasha got scared. He barely even touched her and she was hurting. Is she really that fragile that she can barely be touched?

"I'm fine. It's nothing." She said still holding the spot.

"You sure, maybe I should look at it." He went to reach for her shirt but Kagome stopped him. I have too many bruises which means a lot of explaining. Now's not the time for any of that. I don't even know when a good time is.

"No, no, no… I said I'm fine, trust me." He took both of her hands in his.

"I will, but I need you to trust me." She gasped.

"In-Inuyasha… I can't, please try to understand."

"You can, I promise, you can trust me." She took her hands away, walking out of the classroom. Inuyasha followed her, walking by her side. She knew he'd come with her, but it would take some time until she got use to it.

"Why do you insist on saying these things to me?" She asked as they walked outside. He smiled.

"I'll tell you later." She looked at him in annoyance.

"Why can't you tell me now?"

"It's not the right time yet."

"When is the right time then?" He shrugged. Kagome stopped walking, crossing her arms.

"You mean to tell me when it comes to my secrets you need immediate answers but when it comes to you, I have to wait patiently until you're ready?"

"I complicated what do you want from me?"

"Sure…" They continued walking for a while quietly. "Hey, don't you take the bus?" She finally asked.

"Yeah."

"So why are you walking with me?"

"Half demon. Doesn't take that long to reach my house."

"Oh…"

"This is your place, right." She looked confused. Looking over her shoulder she saw the long stairs that led to her house. She felt as though they reached it very quickly.

"Unfortunately. Wait a minute… what time is it?" He pulled out his phone.

"Almost seven." She mentally groaned. She was supposed to be home at 5:30. The two of them must have been walking extremely slowly. But, she did like the alone time with Inuyasha. And it wasn't like she was in such a hurry to get home in the first place. Then again, when do I ever show up on time besides never? I don't wanna be here.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Nothing… just nothing."

"If something's going on in that house you should tell me."

"Please don't start with me."

"Kagome…"

"Another time." She didn't mean to say that. She wasn't even sure if she was ready to tell him anything at all. But, for the moment, he needed to get off her back. "Some other time I'll tell you what I'm hiding, but now isn't the time."

"Kagome, I just don't want you hurt." She could have said no one will hurt her, but that wouldn't have been true.

"I better get going." She was about to walk off when he grabbed her wrist.

"Kagome…"

"Yeah?"

"What's your number?"

"I don't have a cell phone."

"Oh, then what's your home number." She knew full and well what was to happen if she got a call from some guy that wasn't Naraku or Onigumo.

…I don't think so…

"I'm barely home."

"Well," He goes in his bag, grabbed a pencil and paper and started writing. "Here's my number, you might need it." She hesitantly took the piece of paper and stuffed it in her pocket.

"Thanks."

"One more thing."

"What?" He pulled her closer to him, leaning down pressing his lips on her head. "See you tomorrow." He then finally left.

Her jaw was dropped, and her face was red. Why in the world would he do such a thing like that to her?

He just kissed me.

Her thoughts were jumbled while her heart kept thumping with excitement. This was a new feeling. She walked up the stairs and into the house, not even thinking of the assholes that live there with her. Once inside, she closed the door and back pressed against it. Damn him for making me feel this way. She started to make her way up stairs when something grabbed her upper arm. Her smile instantly faded.

"Hi Onigumo…" She said. He looked tired and stressed out.

"Why the hell are you so happy?" He asked, sitting down at the kitchen table looking at her. She shrugged.

"Just because." He tapped his finger on the table.

"You gonna grab me a beer or what?" Kagome rolled her eyes before walking over to the fridge. He really doesn't need to get drunk….She grabbed a bottle from the fridge, barely turning around, Onigumo shoved her into the fridge, taking it from her.

"Thanks." He opened it and took a sip, looking down at Kagome. She said nothing, hoping not to upset him. "You know, I don't like these clothes on you…" He said, unzipping her sweater. "They do nothing for your body." Kagome shoved his hands away before he could get any farther.

"Not like I can buy more clothes."

"I'm sure we can work something out." Onigumo wasn't like Naraku when it came to raping her. Naraku forces himself on her. Onigumo, on the other hand, liked bribing her with necessities. If Kagome absolutely needed something, she had no choice but to ask him. It only added to his sick twisted ways.

"No thank you." She pushed him off of her and began to walk away. Onigumo chuckled.

"Not like you have a choice. You're gonna need new clothes." Kagome stopped walking and looked back his way.

"What are you talking about?" She asked. He said nothing, just sat back down at the table laughing. This made Kagome race to her room. When she got there, the sight made her blood boil.

Shreds.

Shreds of fabric. It came from the only clothes she had left. Everything. From her shirts and pants to her bras and panties. Not to mention, it was getting close to winter. She was cold enough as it was, now what was she going to do?

Anger

She was angry.

She screamed out, her frustrations, kicking her dresser, throwing her bag. After screaming, she fell to the ground, her hands covering her face.

"Aw…" Kagome heard, turning her head to see Naraku leaning against the door frame. "Are you upset about something, my little whore?" He looked around. "What happened to your clothes?" He teased. She stared at him in disbelief.

"Really?" She stood up. "Really? What am I supposed to wear?" He shrugged.

"Not my problem. But, you were gonna work something out with my dad about that." She bite her tongue, not wanting to say anything out of line. But, it couldn't be helped. She was just so angry and tired of the day.

"You guys are such asshole!" She shouted, grabbing her bag to walk out. She couldn't even leave with Naraku standing in her way. He grasped her upper shoulders, giving her a shake.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Out. I'm not staying here." Maybe that number Inuyasha gave her might come in handy.

"Funny how you think that-" He paused for a second, and started sniffing her hair. Then he took his hand and pulled something from it. She gasped when she saw him pull out a long strand of silver hair.

"You fooling with some dog now?" He said, pulling her hair.

"I can explain." She panted out. How was she possibly going to explain herself? Even if she did have a good excuse, it didn't matter anyways.

"And this explains why you were so late." She cursed to herself, forgetting that she was also late coming home.

"It's not a big deal. I didn't say anything." Out of nowhere he slapped her, making her fall to his feet. She looked at him holding her cheek.

"No excuses." He pulled her back up by her hair and dragged her to his room. Once inside, he pulled her closer to him. "You told him something. What was it?"

"I said nothing. Let go of me!" Naraku growled, punching her in the stomach. She doubled over then was pushed onto his bed. She became even more scared when he went under his bed and took out a long steal pipe.

"I'm getting real tired of you're smart attitude." She flinched when he swung the pipe at his lamp, shattering it into piece. "And the dog is really starting to piss me off."

"He didn't do shit. You're the one that couldn't control yourself and started groping me in the hall." She was surprised that her confidence was coming back, but soon left when Naraku grabbed her by the collar.

"Aren't we the brave one today? You want to try saying something else?" She shook her head, squeezing her eyes shut. He smirked. "Stay the fuck away from that dog. We don't want him snooping around, finding shit out."

"That's not my fault!" She shouted. "And that's not gonna happen. He doesn't know anything and he won't if you leave me alone. Inuyasha and I are cool now so deal with it." She did it. She found her voice. Who would have thought that one kiss would bring out Kagome's courage. But, it was short lived when she saw how angry Naraku looked. His red eyes only got darker, and his fangs were growing.

His demon…

He threw her on the floor and started to kick her side, multiple times. She covered the spot where he cut the other day, so it wouldn't reopen. Once he was done kicking her, she attempted to claw away from him, only to have his foot come down on her hand.

"Giving me fucking demands, you little cunt?" He raised the pipe in the air. "Deal with this!" With no mercy, he hits her on the back.

Again.

Again.

Kagome screamed into the carpet, her tears making it damp. It felt like hours before Naraku got bored and stopped. Her back felt like it was on fire. She shivered, placing her hand on what felt like an open wound. She guessed correctly.

Blood

But, he wasn't done with her. Not yet. He took her wrists, pushed her onto the bed and straddled her hips. She screamed when her back made contact with the bed. Although she was exhausted, she still struggled as he pushed her shirt off, his landing on the floor soon after. He pinned her wrists down to the bed, making it harder for her to move. He then slammed his lips against hers, almost bruising her. She thrashed her head around, trying to get him to stop. He pulled away, smirking.

"I bet you wish that dog was touching you." Kagome continued trying to fight him off of her. "Keep still. You know how rough I can be if you don't listen." She whimpered, trying to calm down. "That's what I thought." He said, dragging his tongue from her chin up her face. It wasn't long before she felt his member start to rub against her. She closed her eyes, doing her best to ignore it entering her body. Naraku let out a satisfied grunt before he began to thrust into her. He was hurting her; he was taking her hard and fast. She felt…

Pain

It was painful. She bit her lip to prevent from making any kind of noise. "Fucking bitch." He said before bringing a hand around her neck. "Why are you so quiet? Why don't you scream for me?" Her vision was getting blurry. She couldn't stop him.

Anguish

Hatred

Pain

She blacked out.
