I drove three hours to an abandoned warehouse.. in the middle of nowhere. It was like I was in some kind of cliché horror flick. I got out the car. Dialing the phone number I'd written on the palm of my hand.
"Well I'll be dammed. You actually showed up."
"Cut the crap, I'm here. Now tell me where you are."
"Whoa there, someone grew a pair of balls since I last saw them. It's kind of hot."
"I didn't drive three hours for nothing Kouga. So cut, the crap. Now!"
"Well come on in babe."
The garage door automatically opened. I hung up. Shoving the phone in my back pocket. I slipped under the half open garage door. The large room was dimly lit. I jumped at the sound of the door closing behind me. The sound of clapping echoed off the walls.. that's when I saw him. Walking down the steps, stepping in and out if the light. He stopped in front of me.. five feet away. He looked me over... with the one good eye he had left.
"I see you dyed your hair back."
"You used her to send a message. Just how seriously fucked up are you?! You used a man's mother to send a message. Why not just come for me and leave everyone else out of it "
"Isn't it obvious? Hurting those around you that you care about or that affect those you care about. Will hurt you more than going straight for you."
"You're sick."
He winked at me. "Thank you."
"You don't feel any remorse?! Your sister went to jail because of you!"
He laughed. "That's her own fault. She should have said no."
"You're a monster."
"You're a dumb bitch, who sat by and let the people she cared about get hurt."
I clenched my jaw. "Get this over with already."
"Anything for you." He rolled up his sleeves. "I'm going to show you how much I love."
He charged at me, punch me in the jaw knocking me to the floor. Maybe this wasn't the best idea in the world. But it was something. He grabbed me by my shirt, hoisting me up in the air.
"I think I might actually miss you."
"Is that what you said to Kikyo? Right before you killed her."
He screwed his face you. Slamming me against the wall. "How do you know about her?!"
"Did you beat her too? Or was it just me?" I had to buy more time.
He slapped me, I laughed in his face. "Did I strike a nerve?"
He threw me to the ground I quickly stood on my feet. "Shut up."
"Aww, what's the matter babe?"
He charged at me. I jumped out of the way. "SHUT YOUR MOUTH!"
"She was only sixteen and you killed her, not to mention you killed you own father."
He was getting angrier and angrier by the second. I had to think quick. My eyes darted around the room, looking for anything I could use for a weapon... there was nothing.
"He had it coming." He said.
"He was your father. What could he possibly have done to deserve such a thing?"
"He raped her.. at least that's what she told me.. till I found out she had willingly slept with him. My own father, they both deserved what they got."
I scoffed. "You're so cliché, killing people because you have daddy issues. It's sad. "I said taunting him.
He clenched his fists. "I'm going to have fun torturing you."
"Only if you can find me first." I flicked the light switch, ducking behind a dumpster.
I peeked out from behind it. He was standing right next to me... he didn't know I was there, yet.
I ran up the stairs, with him hot on my tail. He grabbed me by the leg, I kicked him off, climbing out of the window onto the fire escape. I grabbed onto the latter, sliding down. Then... I tripped over a damn rock. He jumped on top of me pinning my arms to the floor.
His eyes softened. "Just so you know. Even though I'm about to kill you. I do love you Kagome." He said kissing my cheek. He was seriously messed up. I almost felt sorry for him... almost.
"It's to bad for you then."
"To bad?"
"That I'm not going to die here today."
"What makes you thi-" I cut him off, kneeing him between the legs. He had to stop falling for that.
He fell on his side, I got up running over to the car, getting inside. He stood up, clutching his crotch. I shoved the keys in the ignition and pressed the gas pedal. I ran him over, the car jumping upward. I hopped out, he was unconscious under the car. Sirens blared from the front of the warehouse , I ran running into Detective Hojo. He started chewing me out before I could get a word in.
"Do you know how incredibly stupid this was! You could have gotten killed!"
I smiled. "But I didn't."
"How did you know we would come, what if we didn't?"
"All police cars have GPS trackers in them."
He sighed. "Where is he?"
"He back there.. under your car."
"Under my car? Forget it. I'll leave you to him."
"Him?" I peered behind him.. Sesshomaru stood there with his hands in his pocket. He walked over to.. he said nothing. He just looked into my eyes.
"Are you stupid?"
"Excuse me?!"
"You scared me half to death. I didn't know if I was coming here to claim your body... how .. why would you do this."
"It seems you've forgotten the part where you blamed me and told me to get out."
"I know.. and I'm sorry. I just. I'm sorry. Just don't ever do that again."
I tried my best not to cry. "Don't bother. You won't have to do anymore worrying." I slid off my.. the engagement ring and placed bit in his hand.
"Kagome, what... what are you doing?"
I smiled through my tears. "I'm doing the right thing."
Before he could try and change my mind, Hojo ran back over to us looking frantic.
"He's gone."
"WHAT!?"
"I'm sorry but he's gone Kagome.."
All of this... was for nothing... he was gone.
