Chapter 3: My Old Enemy Returned

"His name is Naraku," Mrs. Fries said. I stared at him my eyes wide and my mouth open. I gripped the edge of the table to keep myself from trembling.

"Now Naraku there is an empty table in the back of the room, you can sit there," She told him.

She left his side to go write something on the board. He slowly made his way to the back of the room brushing my arm as he went.

I heard him sit down behind me and felt his cold stare piercing right through my skin.

For the whole class period I sat in fear unable to move or speak.

When the bell rang I grabbed my stuff and ran out of the room to go to P.E. I quickly got changed and went to the track before anyone else got in the dressing room.

I started running, slowly at first, then faster and faster with each step I took.

Soon I was sprinting with my head down and tears streaming down my flushed face.

After about my tenth lap all the boy and girl classes were outside, some people were sitting around and just talking, and others were actually doing something related to P.E.

I took a misstep on the opposite of the track and fell scraping my knees but not caring.

I just sat up pulling my knees against my chest wrapping my arms around my legs and crying.

After awhile I heard someone walk up and felt a pair of arms pull me close. I looked up and stared into golden amber eyes.

Inuyasha pulled me closer and I leaned into his chest. I felt so relaxed from his warmth that I never wanted to leave him.

"I saw the look in your eyes when you saw that guy, Naraku," Inuyasha whispered.

I put my arms around him and pulled myself as close to him as I could. I felt a knot start to form in my throat, and my eyes start to water.

"I want you to know that I'll always be here for you. All you have to do is find me."

He gave me a reassuring hug as he said it, and a whole new set of tears started falling down my face.

We stayed like that until the coaches called us in to get back into our normal school clothes.

He picked me up bridal style and carried me back to entrance to the dressing rooms where he gently set me down. I reluctantly let him go and walked into the dressing rooms to change.

As soon as I walked in I felt Kikyo walk up with a menacing glare and stand in front of me.

"Well look here, the bitch finally got thrown aside like the dirty trash she is," Kikyo smirked as she said this waiting for my response.

I just kept my head down and walked around her.

"Don't ignore me, you good for nothing bitch." She said and pulled her hand back to punch me.

She started to swing and I grabbed in the air and turned around to face her.

"Don't fucking mess with me you slutty whore or I'll rip your hair out." I glared at her, let go, and walked away to change.

I heard her gasp as she stood where I left her shocked at my words.

I got done and the bell rang and I left to go to my geography class. In the hallway I walked alone trying to ignore all the stares that came my way.

I felt a strong hand wrap around my upper arm and pull me into an empty classroom. I was pushed against a wall as Naraku put his body against mine making it impossible for me to escape.

He put his head in the side of my neck and breathed in deeply.

I started to violently shake while I bit my lip to keep more tears from spilling out.

I opened my eyes to see a trickle of blood run down my chin and I heard Naraku smirk. He lifted his head and licked the blood off my face licking his lips.

His hands went up my shirt and started to inch up my stomach. He started to kiss along the edge making his way down to my neck.

He stopped and looked into my eyes with lust.

He pushes himself up against me even more as I started to shake more.

"We will be together soon enough my sweet, sweet Kaggie." He whispered seductively in my ear. He inhaled my scent then stopped.

I looked at him and saw a frown form on his face.

"You smell like a fucking half breed you slut." He said menacingly. He slammed me against the wall and slapped me across the face.

"You better stay the fuck away from him if you know what's good for you. I will kill him if I have to Kaggie…. And I don't want to have to hurt that beautiful face of yours like you forced me too last time."

He pushed me into the hallway and I walked the rest of the way to class.

I got there right before the tardy bell rang and I went straight to my seat in the back of the room.

Inuyasha was sitting next to my empty seat and he watched me walk up and sit down.

I was shaking and Inuyasha got up and put his jacket over my shoulders. I looked at him with thankful eyes and all I could see was worry all over his face.

Class went on like that for the rest of the period while the teacher went on about some country and its problems but I wasn't paying attention.

The bell rang in no time at all and Inuyasha grabbed my hand and pulled me to an empty spot underneath the staircase.

He pulled the sleeve on my left arm up to reveal three long deep cuts on my arm. I pulled back and took a couple of steps away from him wide eyed.

"How did you know?" I asked. He didn't answer and his head was facing the ground and I couldn't see his eyes.

"How did you know?!" I asked, this time a little bit louder.

"I could smell the blood…." He said his head still down, "The smell of blood is strongest on your left arm and I just…. Guessed and…"He stopped and I knew he didn't have to say anything else.

I was so dumbfounded I didn't say anything.

"Why?" He whispered so quietly I barely caught what he said. I was the one who couldn't say anything this time.

"Why do you do it?" He asked more force this time grabbing me by the shoulders.

I flinched from his force causing the bruises on my arm to start hurting and stuttered out,

"Because…. I don't know," The last part faded out as I bowed my head in shame. I tried to get out of his grasp but he held on to me too tight.

"I don't want to see you get hurt whether it's by your doing or the doing of someone else. It's killing me to see you in so much pain….. I want to help you so much… but I don't know how I can."

He embraced me in a tight hug and took me to art class holding me like that the entire way.

"Ok class," Mrs. Townsend said, "Today you are going to do a freehand sketch. It can be of anything you want ok? Get to it."

I went to a corner with a small two person couch and sat down taking out my sketch pad and CD player out of my backpack.

Inuyasha sat down next to me as I put in my headphones letting the sound of Papa Roach's 'To Be Loved' pour into my ears.

I worked on my sketch for the remainder of class and finished it. I went up to the teacher and saw a look of amazement on her face.

"Wow Kagome you have so much good talent. I've never seen such fine work and passion come from a student. I'm really impressed, good work."

I took my drawing back to the couch and just stared at it. Inuyasha peered over my shoulder and smiled.

All I drew was a simple black rose that was bleeding.

I didn't color it because it would ruin the effect.

I left it black and white and shaded the darker parts of the rose and blood.

The bell rang signaling it was time for my lunch. I wasn't hungry and even if I was I had no money or food.

So I went out to the back of the school to the big Sakura tree. I climbed up and sat on the lowest branch but still out of site from anyone who passed by below.

I took in a deep breath and sighed. 'Finally,' I thought, 'I'm alone.'

I let the gentle breeze blow through my hair and I sat there for the rest of lunch. The rest of the day went like that until it got to the end of the day.

I walked out of my 7th period, out of the school, then to my house.

I walked up to my door and was about to go in when I heard two voices and it took me awhile to figure out who they belonged to and when I did I stood rooted on the spot in shock listening to their conversation.

"What do you want me to do?" Naraku asked.

"I want you to keep her away from her stupid good for nothing friends. I don't care how you do it, just do it and she's yours." My father responded.

"OK, done. They will be dealt with and I'll be by to pick her up along with all her things tomorrow. Have all her stuff packed I don't want to be kept waiting."

I heard them start walking towards the door and I ran around to the side of the house to where my window was.

'I don't believe it,' I thought, 'how could he do that to me, and he let that bastard do that to me all those years ago too.'

(By the way they are all juniors sorry I didn't mention it before now… D)

I climbed the tree next to my house and climbed through my window into my room.

I quickly grabbed a bag and stuffed it with as much stuff as I could. I went to my closet and pulled a little black box out from under a floorboard and put it in my bag as well.

I grabbed all my stuff and jumped out the window only leaving a note I had quickly written to my father. It read:

Father I didn't know you would stoop that low and do something that horrible. I am leaving and this time I refuse to come home. I will not go live with that bastard Naraku and there's nothing you can do to change my decision.

Kagome

I ran down the road and back to school to see Inuyasha about to get in a black sports car with neon blue flames going down the sides.

"Inuyasha!" I yelled. He turned around surprised as I ran up to him.

"Kagome what's wrong?" He asked.

I huff need somewhere to huff stay tonight. My dad huff my dad he……" I trailed off hoping I could wait to tell him until after I get to his or Sango's house.

"Ok get in."

Was all he said and I got into the passenger seat of his car.

We sat in silence for the whole ride to his house, which was only a street away from Sango's. We got out and went up to his room.

It looked almost exactly like Sango's except his was red instead of blue. I walked in and sat on his bed and he sat next to me.

"Did Sango tell you?" I asked suddenly. He looked up at me and sighed,

"Yes she told me everything."

"Ok…" I said, "Well, 2 years ago when I was a freshman I lived in Kyoto. (They currently live in Tokyo.)

Naraku and I were going out for about a year by then. My father allowed us to go out… I don't know why but he did.

Naraku was always kind and nice to me.

He was polite, he treated me well, and I felt as though I could really trust him, but one day he stopped being nice.

He would yell at me for doing very tiny things wrong or just yell at me for no reason at all, and he would hit me like my father sometimes.

I never broke up with him though… I don't know why I just couldn't.

Then one night he told me he was taking me to the movies but he knocked me out and when I woke up I was in a house in the middle of the woods on the outskirts of Kyoto.

That night he… raped me.

I wound up in a coma for two months and when I woke up the police told me Naraku was gone.

So two weeks after I was out of the hospital my father and I moved, but no matter where we would go he would always find us.

Until we moved here at the end of my sophomore year.

He never showed up until now…. I thought he had given up but I guess not. Then today I heard him and my dad talking in my house.

My dad told him that if Naraku could keep me away from all my friends then he could have me.

After I heard that I couldn't take it. I got all my stuff and left not caring what happened to me after that…."

By the time I was done I had somehow gotten in to Inuyasha's lap.

We sat like that for a few minutes until someone called for Inuyasha to go downstairs.

He told me he would be back in a few minutes and I lay back on his bed staring at his ceiling.

((With Inuyasha downstairs in his POV))

I walked downstairs to see my father and my brother Sesshomaru sitting on a couch in the living room. Sesshomaru was 22 and lived by himself in an apartment and worked with my father in his lawyer business.

"What is it dad?" I asked. He looked up at me and smiled motioning for me to sit down in the armchair across form the couch.

I sat down and looked at him quizzically and waited for him to say what he had to say.

"I noticed you brought a young lady home with you today." He said still smiling I groaned,

"She's just a friend," I said, "Oh yeah; she kinda needs somewhere to stay for awhile."

"For how long?" My father asked.

"Forever… or until she can get a place of her own." I replied.

"Why?" He asked his smile turning into a frown.

"Well….. she's having some problems at home." I said and I told them everything I knew.

"Ok I will put Sesshomaru on the case right away." He said with a stern look on his face.

"Ok. Why is he here anyways?" I asked motioning towards Sesshomaru.

"I'm just here to visit little brother." Sesshomaru replied.

"Ok well can I go back then?" I asked. My father nodded and I walked back to my room.

When I went in I found Kagome sound asleep on top of my bed.

I quietly went over to her and adjusted her so her head was on the pillow and the rest of her was under my blanket.

I went to the other side of the bed and layed down on top of the blanket so Kagome wouldn't think I was trying to do something.

I soon found myself falling into a deep sleep.

((Kagome POV))

I woke up in Inuyasha's bed with Inuyasha lying next to me.

I didn't want to wake him up so I decided to take a short tour of the house while I waited for him to wake up.

I got out of his bed and walked out of his room and down the hallway to the stairs.

I went down and went into the door to my right closest to me. I walked in gazing at a small kitchen with a small table and two men sitting at either end.

"Oh I'm sorry," I said. "I didn't mean to intrude."

"No it's ok. You must be Kagome," the first man said standing up. "I'm Inutaisho, Inuyasha's father and this is Sesshomaru his brother."

He motioned to the other man as he shook my hand and Sesshomaru got up and did the same.

"We heard about your current condition and we would like to help," Inutaisho said, "My son and I are lawyers you see and we can help you get away from your father and Naraku without anyone being hurt in the meantime."

"Ok," I said, "Thank you for everything and I do intend on paying you for what you are doing for me."

"No that won't be necessary we are doing this to help you not for money." Sesshomaru said.

"Now you will have to talk to a friend of ours who will document and record everything you say so we can take it to court he should be here any minute now…."

As if on cue the door bell rang and I jumped out of my seat to answer it. When I opened the door I squealed in delight and jumped into his arms.

"It's been so long, I've missed you so much……."
