Chapter 4: Fun at the Mall

It's been so long, I've missed you so much Souta." I said with my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck.

He stepped inside putting his arms under me so I wouldn't fall.

Souta followed Sesshomaru and Inutaisho into the living room.

He set me down on one of the couches and sat down next to me, while Inutaisho and Sesshomaru took the couch opposite of us.

All three of them pulled out notepads and Souta pulled out what looked like a tape recorder.

"Ok, Kagome," Souta said in a serious tone, "I need you to tell us everything that has happened to you starting from the very beginning.

All three of us will be taking notes and I will be recording everything you say."

I took a deep breath and once again gave my testimony (Life story). I gave it slowly, the details of what I said replaying in my head as the words stumbled out of my mouth.

My eyes darted around the room as I tried to stay calm.

They were constantly looking from their notepads to me, mumbling to themselves and nodding or shaking their heads as I went along.

When I was finally done they wrote a few more things down and Souta put the tape recorder thing away.

We sat in a heavy silence for awhile none of us knowing what to do or say next.

Finally Inutaisho and Sesshomaru nodded to each other and got up and left the room.

Souta and I were left alone in the large living room both of us trying to tell the other what we were thinking, but not being able to.

"Kagome," he finally said looking at me, "Why didn't you ever tell anyone what he was doing to you? There were so many people you could have turned to."

"Because…." I said. "Because I didn't want anyone to have to worry about me, and I didn't want anyone to get hurting knowing what I was going through or trying to help me."

"But this is serious," He said pulling me into a tight embrace, "He could have hurt you a lot worse than what he has or he could have done much more horrible things than that to you.

I never knew he was doing things like that to you even when I was living there. You could have called me, or Sango, or Miroku or anyone else.

You didn't have to suffer for as long as you did… you shouldn't have had to suffer at all.

I'm sorry that I never suspected father of doing such heinous crimes. Even when I was still living with you I never knew he was doing such horrible things to you. I'm so very, very sorry…." We sat together silently crying in each others arms, when he was done saying what was on his mind.

We sat there for the longest time before we separated and said our goodbyes.

"Kagome, I'll always be here for you, but I can't take your case.

Since we're related it would cause problems for us both personally and during the case, but I know Sesshomaru is very good and will do anything to help you.

I have lots of faith in him and I hope you will too. I have to go to a case I'm working on in Kyoto now."

We stood up and he wrapped me in another warm embrace and I returned it burying my head in his shoulder.

"I love you Kagome and I know that all of this will end soon. I'll be in touch as soon as I can…. Take care of yourself."

"I love you too Souta, I hope you come back soon…. I've missed you so much," and with our final tearful goodbyes said we reluctantly let each other go and Souta walked out of the door.

I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath as two strong arms wrapped themselves around my waist and pulled me towards them.

I leaned into his embrace and inhaled his scent. (Zomg I wonder who it could be??).

I turned around and he pulled me back down on the couch and into his lap.

He gently ran his fingers through my hair and his other hand intertwined with my own.

"I'll always protect you," Inuyasha whispered softly in my ear.

"I won't let either of those bastards hurt you anymore.

You deserve so much better than what you've had and I swear that I'll help you get away from them."

I was so perplexed that all I could do is nod.

We sat like that until the sound of my stomach growling broke the silence.

I looked up into his golden amber eyes and he smiled a smile that I would soon come to realize I would always melt over.

He picked me up bridal style and carried me into one of the smaller kitchens and set me down at the table.

"Do you like ramen?" He asked and I nodded a smile slowly spreading across my face.

He walked over to two different cabinets pulling a pot out of and two packets of ramen out of the other.

He cooked the ramen and poured it into two separate bowls pouring a little bit more into one.

He gave me the one with more in it and I looked up at him but he had already begun to eat his ramen.

I picked up my fork and put a mouthful of noodles into my mouth savoring the luscious flavor. I finished my ramen and went upstairs to take a shower.

I got some clothes from my bag and opened a door in Inuyasha's room to reveal a bathroom.

I walked inside and locked the door.

I took off all my clothes and bandages and turned the water on getting in and letting the water run down my body.

I took a quick shower stepping out, drying myself off, and then putting new fresh clothes back on.

I walked out to find Inuyasha's room empty and I went and jumped on his bed landing on my stomach.

I buried my head in his blanket letting my entire body relax.

I stayed there awhile just enjoying the peace and quiet before I got bored and decided to go find Inuyasha.

I went downstairs to see him sitting on a couch watching TV.

I tried to sneak up behind him to scare him but when I got too close he pulled me over the couch so I landed on it and he straddled my waist and began tickling me until I could hardly breathe.

"Inuyasha stop laugh it. I can't laugh breathe."

I managed to get out and he stopped wrapping his arms around me and holding me in place.

We looked into each others eyes amber-gold and chocolate brown mixing.

Our faces inched toward each other until we were so close our noses were tip to tip.

Still we got closer to each other to the point where I could feel Inuyasha's hot breath on my face.

We were about to close the distance between us when Sesshomaru called Inuyasha into the kitchen.

Inuyasha got up and went into the kitchen and they talked quietly for about 10 minutes then Inuyasha came back in with a look of distraught on his face.

He pulled me up off the couch and led me to the door. When we were outside and the door was closed he turned towards me.

"Sesshomaru said we have to leave the house for a few hours because my dad and him are having a really big conference at my house….. So what do you want to do now?"

Inuyasha looked at me with a look of boredom on his face.

My face lit up with excitement because I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

I ran off down the street toward Sango's until I got to her house and absent mindedly ran into her front door.

I fell backwards to the ground and I heard Inuyasha come up behind me and start laughing his ass off.

I just got up as Sango came up and opened the door with a look of confusion written all over her face, but I suppose it would have to do with the laughing Inuyasha and me getting up from the ground…. But I don't know.

We explained the whole situation and we made plans to go to the mall with everyone we could think of. When we got there we split up into two groups.

Each taking one side of the mall and we would meet up in a couple of hours.

Our group consisted of Inuyasha, Sango, Bankotsu, Jakotsu, Rin, and myself.

We went around to some stores like Hot Topic and went in and tried on some clothes but we didn't buy anything.

After an hour and a half we got bored and decided to make up a plan to get the oldest meanest security guy in the mall fired and do some extreme stunts.

The first part of our plan was going around to the stores until we got all the supplies we needed for the plan. This included:

1. Duck tape

2. Rope

3. A lot of walkie talkies

4. Roller blades

5. First aid kit (just in case heehee)

6. Sharpies

7. Finger nail polish

8. Makeup

9. A camera (disposable and video camera)

10. A blindfold

11. Super glue

12. Shaving cream

13. Laxatives (stuff that looks like chocolate that gives you diarrhea)

14. Hair dye

15. Rubber gloves

16. Toilet paper

((Overall view??? Idfk…. Something like that 3rd person view))

By the time we had gotten all the… supplies it was time to go and meet the other group that was on the other side of the mall during our planning.

We told them our plan and we broke off into pairs and went to our designated positions. The groups consisted of:

1. Sango and Ayame

2. Inuyasha and Miroku

3. Kagura and Kanna

4. Hiten and Bankotsu

5. Shippo and Kouga

6. Jakotsu and Manten

7. And last but not least Rin and myself

We all waited anxiously as the security guard passed the first group.

Their part was to set up a stand of free donuts and coffee, and like we knew he would, he took the trap.

Soon thanks to our laxative sprinkles he would have to go to the bathroom and as if on cue the security guard got up and ran as fast as his short legs could carry him to the bathroom.

"Step 1 completed. The bird has left his perch and is headed to the bathrooms. Commence with Step 2." Sango whispered into the walkie talkie.

"Step 2 commencing group1 sign out." Miroku responded at his end.

The security guard spent about 10 minutes going to the bathroom and when he got out of his stall he was met with our very own Inuyasha and Miroku.

"Why hello officer nice to see you today," Inuyasha said sweetly.

"Get out of here and on your way before I have both of you banned from this establishment for the rest of your short lives," He rudely retorted.

He made his way to the door but Inuyasha and Miroku stood in his way.

"We don't think you want to go yet the fun has only just started." Miroku said with a glint of excitement in his eyes.

"Move out of my way now." The security guard said his temper rising.

"I don't think he wants to play our game with us Miroku, but he doesn't really have a choice."

Inuyasha and Miroku pulled out two bottles of shaving cream each and sprayed it in his face until he was covered completely by it waist up.

They grabbed him by his arms and pulled him out of the bathroom where group 3: Kagura and Kanna where waiting with the rope, makeup, and blindfold.

They bound his arms to his side and put makeup perfectly all over his face including painting his nails.

Then they mixed the bright blue hair dye and the super glue and put it in his hair while wearing the rubber gloves so they wouldn't get it on them.

They spiked his hair and then stripped him of his clothes (except his boxers come on guys get your head out of the gutter) and covered him head to foot with lots and lots of toilet paper.

"Group 4, come get the target and proceed to the next destination." Inuyasha said.

"Ok, we're on our way." Hiten responded.

In a few seconds they were there and Hiten and Bankotsu grabbed either side of the security guard's arms and pulled him outside to the flagpole in the front of the mall.

There Shippo and Kouga were waiting holding rope and they tied the security guard to the pole.

"Step 5 completed, Group 6 get to the flagpole with your weapon of choice and get here fast." Kouga said a little out of breath.

We're already on our way, we'll be there shortly." Jakotsu replied, and just as they said they were there in a flash bearing their weapon of choice…. a camera!!!

They took tons of pictures until there was no more room on the disposable camera.

"Step 6 is a go. I repeat Step 6 is a go." Manten hurriedly said into the walkie talkie.

"Ok, we'll get started right away." Kagome excitedly said back.

(Kagome POV)

"Rin get the camera ready we have to be fast." Kagome said.

"I know… ok its ready when you see the red light start talking." Rin said. I nodded and waited for the light.

Rin and I were the most risk taking in the group so we of course volunteered to do the most fun part of the plan. The light turned on and I put a smile on my face.

"This is Kagome and my camera girl is Rin. We are here today to give you a tour of the mall, starting from up at the top on the 3rd story going all the way to the bottom.

Ok Rin Lets go."

We started going on our roller blades slow at first then picking up speed.

As we past stores I would say the name fast and try to get in a few words about the store, until we got to the edge of the railing where we both took a flying leap off the edge and smoothly landed on the 2nd floor.

We were being chased by the other security guards by then and right before we got to the edge one of them had the nerve to throw a taser at me.

I fell to the ground spazzing out as Rin recorded it for future reference.

Rin finally got it away from me when the security guards got to close and she tried to get us over the edge.

She had to pick me up a little and kinda toss me over.

I landed on my feet but fell forwards on a bench because that taser had made me really dizzy.

Rin got down and I felt liquid run down my head but I paid no attention to it.

We were almost to the door when a row of security guards got in our path to the door and they didn't look like they were going to move.

I was semi better and we decided to just go over them instead of trying to find an alternate path.

We took a sew steps back and started to go as fast as we could then jumped as high as we could but one of the security guards managed to hit our skates and we went tumbling out of the mall getting large cuts and bruises from landing on concrete.

There were 3 cars waiting for us outside and we went as fast as we could, dove in, and we drove off laughing the whole way.

Bankotsu tended to our wounds but the last fall made my dizziness worse and I was mumbling everything I said and no one could understand me except for Rin.

We found out that I had a rather long cut on my right arm and head with other cuts and Rin had a cut on her cheek and left arm.

"Whats wrong with you Kagome?" Bankotsu asked.

"Igttzrd….." Was my over-intelligent answer.

"Oh…that," Rin said, "…Well Kagome got tasered by one of the guards and it lasted for about 5 minutes so she must still be out of it."

"Holy shit Kagome…. I never knew she could take that much…. Well we need to get her somewhere to lay her down where do you suggest?" Bankotsu said concern on his face.

"Are you guys still on walkie talkie with each other?" Rin asked.

"Yeah, here" Bankotsu said giving her his walkie talkie.

"Who all is on here?" Rin asked. Inuyasha and Hiten answered yes and explained we only needed one per car.

"Ok, well we need to get somewhere where Kagome can lie down because uhhh…. Yeah…." She said.

"What happened?" Inuyasha asked.

"Well… she kinda got tasered by one of the guards…"

"OMFG what the fuck is wrong with you why didn't you help her?! Anyways it doesn't matter we're almost at my house so we'll take her there." Inuyasha said.

When we got there Inuyasha rushed to my car and picked me up carrying me inside to lay me on his bed upstairs.

When we got inside we were greeted by Inutaisho and Sesshomaru who stared at us confusedly.

As soon as I saw them I pointed and started laughing maniacally my delirium from the taser pain starting to kick in.

"What happened?" Inutaisho asked.

"Taser…mall… ask them I have to get her upstairs." Inuyasha quickly said rushing past them and upstairs.

He went in his room and laid me on his bed and went and got a cold damp rag to put on my forehead.

All I remember then is that he stayed by me until I fell asleep. I woke up to a chilly breeze coming in from the open window.

I got up and closed it to have myself being slammed into the floor a small quiet scream being emitted from my throat.

A hand instantly clamped over my mouth and I saw Naraku sit on top of me.

"If you make any noises of any kind I will take you with me and kill all your friends' with no regrets and have you watch every minute of it."

Naraku said in a threatening tone.

I whimpered under him and my body began to violently shake.

He bent his head low and started to suck on my neck.

He trailed his way up to my mouth, forcing his tongue in my mouth. He tasted vile and I could barely stand him doing this to me.

Tears ran down my face as I let out another small scream.

He slapped me in the face and I got away from him and went to a corner my eyes wide with fear watching every move he made trying to prepare myself for whatever he planned on doing next.

I put my hand up to my cheek and looked at it seeing blood on my hand.

Naraku came up to me and thrust his hands up my shirt roughly making his way to the edge of my bra.

He started kissing my neck again but instead of going back up to my mouth he went down to my chest.

I began crying so hard I couldn't contain myself anymore.

I closed my eyes trying to forget what was happening when I felt him being thrown off of me.

I heard growling and all of the Takahashi's got in front of me. Naraku glared at the Takahashi's then at me.

"I will get you know matter what it takes Kaggie, I don't care what I have to do but I will get you back and away from these people."

He said that and jumped out of the window shattering the glass all over the yard and Inuyasha's room.

I stood up and Inuyasha walked over to me with anger, hate, and sorrow in his eyes.

He wrapped his arms around me and I collapsed into tears and then shortly after passed out from fear.
