Chapter Eight "Kagome Comes Home"

Kagome couldnt believe she was actually returning. She did miss her parents teribbly, but how could she face them? Six months was a long time...

The next morning, Inuyasha helped her. She was so nervous she felt numb, so Inuyasha took care of cooking breakfast so no one had to worry she'd burn the house down. At last, everything was prepared for her return home, but she felt no where near prepared. Her new friends were so wonderful, but she knew she may never see them again while shes up in the Heavens with servants fussing over whether or not her dress was frilly enough or if there was enough ribbons.

She knew they were up to something, but they pretended they had nothing prepared until it was time for her to go. Miroku started by saying, "Kagome, you know it was great having you here. These past six months have been amazing, and we will miss you." He kissed her cheek in a brotherly way that made tears come up to Kagome's eyes.

"I will miss you, Angel." He took out of his pocket and gave her something she was not prepared for: a christmas present.

"Its early, but Merry Christmas, Kagome." she opened the box to find a photo album, filled with pictures the four (Miroku, Inuyasha, Kagome and Sango) had taken. She wiped away a tear as she stared at her smiling face when they went ice skating. She looked at herself being pulled off her butt on the ice by Sango, smiles on both their faces.

"Goodbye, Kagome. I'll miss you too." after saying this, Sango hugged her new friend tightly. "You'll make a great Queen, I know it." At last she stopped hugging Kagome and took her place by Miroku's side.

"Thank you. For everything." She looked from the couple's smiling face to Inuyasha...her Inuyasha... he was the hardest to say goodbye to. "Babe, its not goodbye," he said, "it's 'see you later'. For all of us. We'll see each other again." With this he kissed her, holding her tightly. At last, she knew she had to go. She blew a kiss to everyone and concentrated on returning to the Heavens. A bright light enveloped her body, and she whispered. "I love you. All of you." And with that, she was gone...

At the Castle...

The High Detective ran wildly to the God's chambers. "My Lord!" he said breathlessly, falling to his knees. "The Angel Kagome has returned! She is safe!" The God and Godess stood up in biwilderment. "She's safe? Thank goodness!!" Two guards entered the chambers with Kagome between them, looking not too pleased to be back.

"Kagome! Sweetheart, are you all right? Oh Kagome, what happened? Where were you?! Oh we were so worried. Kagome!" her parents hugged and kissed their missing daughter. "I'm fine, Mom. Really, you can stop crying. Daddy, I'm fine. Your hugging me too tight. I cant breathe!" Lord Hiro grabed her by her shoulders and looked her in the eyes.

"What happened to you?" she looked away. "Daddy, please...I'm tired. I just got back. Let me sleep, ok?" Her father relaxed and let her go. "Get some rest, and put on some decent clothes. Then we'll talk over some tea. It's good to know your safe, honey." She didnt kiss him back. Instead, she walked like a soldier to the place that was once her room, but she didnt feel like it was anymore.

"Something's wrong with her," her mother noticed. "She hardly looked releived to be back." Hiro noticed this too. "Let her rest up...then we can talk."

Later that Night...

Kagome slowly entered the dining hall, gowned in a white silk and silver dress, obviously not happy she was here. Again she looked like she had been crying. "Kagome, what happend? Where were you these past six months?" She sighed deeply and looked up to face her parents. "Earth."

"Earth?!" they cried in unison. "Sweetie, who did you know on Earth? Oh honey, that is not the kind of place an Angel should be. Oh you must have been miserable. Who were you with? Humans? Oh you poor thing!" Her mother fretted. Kagome rolled her eyes.

"Will you stop it? I was fine, I can take care of myself!" She breathed in deeply. She knew she had to tell them somehow. "And.." she started, "there was a boy." "A boy?! Who was he? A human? How could a human creature know who you are?" "He wasnt a human, although I did stay with a human boy and a girl. But...the boy I'm talking about was a demon."

"A WHAT?!!??! Did you say demon?!!?!?" Just as she suspected, her father was furious. She sighed deeply. She knew she had to go on.

"What was his name?" "Who's?" "The demon, what was his name?!" "..." "Kagome Hiro, you answer your father!" "His name...is Inuyasha."

"Inuyasha?! The Dark Lord's son, that Inuyasha?" "Yes, that one. Now, if you will excuse me, I'm going to my room." She rushed out of the room in tears before the God or Goddess could say anymore. The God slumped into his chair and put his head in his hands. "Inuyasha...he was the one who took her prisoner...that mutt!"

"Isn't he a dog demon?"

"Yes, a cold, blood thirsty killer...I cant believe our daughter, our daughter, was in the hands of that monster for six months."

"Why didn't she just use her power to come back home?"

"I dont know...he must have taken it away from her! That Lucifer...he's a cunning, evil creature, and I suspect his son would be no different! Inuyasha...what did you do to my daughter?"

A few hours later, the King and Queen decided to have a talk with their Angel. "Kagome?" This time, they opened her door to find her asleep in her bed. The Lord went into her bathroom to wash his face, for he was so tired he needed something to kep him awake. He dropped the towel he was drying his face on the floor, but as he stooped to pick it up, he found something in Kagome's garbage can.

A pair of bloody underwear.

Thats odd he thought to himself. What is that doing there? He called for his wife, who was stroking Kagome's hair, into he bathroom for her thoughts. "Why would she throw them out? If she got her period, she knowes to send them to the laundry women. They get the stain out."

Her father had a suspesion. "Send these for examination. I think maybe that dog did more than just keep her prisoner."

The next morning, Dr. Jane Wilber asked for a moment of privacy with the King. She then stated, "My Lord...there was semen found along with the blood in the Angel Kagome's undergarments...and that of a demon's. I think you should take her to your best doctors right away." As soon as Dr. Wibler left him alone, he sat dazed onto his couch.

He raped her...that son of a bitch raped my little girl...

Ooh, suspense!!!
