Chapter 8: I should have known.
Kagome lay out across the bed on her stomach Sango tending to her wounds. Kagome sighed her eyes heavy with tears, her face puffy and red. Sango looked down at her. "Why would you hit her…" Sango asked. "I just got angry with her; she did all this on purpose I just can't take it anymore." Kagome cuddled into her pillow as she tried to hold back her tears. She could fell Sango get up from the bed and the door open and close. Kagome could bare no longer she hade to cry there was nothing else to do now but cry. She weep into her pillow the tears flowing fast from her eyes. She heard the door open again and close quickly behind them. She tried to stop crying but she couldn't her heart hurt everything hurt she could do nothing but cry.
"Kagome" She heard Inuyasha's voice and all she wanted to do was jump into his arms. She forced herself to set up her shirt falling over her wounds before he could see her pain. Kagome stood up and looked over to him, the tears blurring her vision. "Inuyasha I ne.." Her breath caught in her through as she looked up at his anger and hurt filled eyes. He came closer to her she gasped in waiting for the hurt words to come to his lips. "I need to think; when I want to talk I'll come to you." He whispered turning. Kagome refused to let him leave thinking of her as trash, she fell into his back gripping her arm around him as she cried into his back. Inuyasha pulled away and walked out of the room. Kagome fell to the floor her heart pounding with hurt she put her hand over her heart and cried into the darkness.
A Month later Kagome was hard at work. She had been working her self to death in order to keep her mind off things. Miroku and Kathy barley work they wouldn't have worked at all if they wouldn't have sneaked that's to do out from under Kagome's nose. She barley noticed anyone talking unless Inuyasha started to say something, she heard everything Inuyasha said but anything anyone else said she did not know Kathy was talking to her she stood in one spot staring at the floor ignoring her words.
"What do you think this is about Naraku!?" Inuyasha argued. "Kagome." Naraku answered turning to him. "She's not property that you can play with!" Inuyasha ordered. "She is MY property I OWN her or do you not remember the day we picked her from the slave cages, if YOU wanted to protect her YOU should have bought her!" Naraku announced turning to leave. Inuyasha growled. "Naraku you know I don't get…" He mumbled. "You can no longer say that my dear friend, Kagome is a different girl, she has won your heart away from all those girl you so cling to, yet you deny yourself the only true thing you want." Naraku Looked over his shoulder at him. "And that would be?" Inuyasha asked. "Love, to be loved." Naraku smiled at the hurt look on Inuyasha's face.
Kagome dropped her broom and fell to the floor her body suddenly sour and tired as if all the work she had been doing finally caught up with her. Kathy sat down behind her and gently laid her hand on her back. "Kagome what's wrong, Kagome!" Kathy tugged on her shirt a bit as she tried to wake her up the daze she was in.
Kagome woke in her room. She moaned and looked around her vision blurry she looked up at a blurry vision of Miroku and Kathy. "What happened?" She asked, Kathy shock her head. "You must have fainted of being to tired, I told you this would happen!" Kathy yelled at her. Kagome groaned and sat up her head spinning and her heart pounding as if she had just ran a mile. She berthed in deep and looked around as the words from Kathy went in one ear and out the other. "Are you ok Kagome?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome jumped a bit but she looked up at him standing next to the door. She smiled at the sight of him in her bedroom again, but she could not force any words to leave her mouth.
"Kagome." Inuyasha insisted. "I'll be fine." She coughed out as she started up at him. Miroku grabbed Kathy and pulled her to the door. "Well see you later Kagome." He announced leaving the room. Kagome blinked and turned away from the door. Inuyasha walked over and sat down on the bed looking at her. Kagome turned to face the wall on the other side of the bed her legs and feet dangling over the edge. "Kagome we need to talk." Inuyasha muttered. Kagome sighed. Inuyasha leaned over and laid on her back a bit. Kagome cried out the lashes didn't hurt unless touched they still had not healed for Naraku and Kikyou would hit her on the back ever time they saw even move, and they would reopen or tear more.
Inuyasha moved up and pulled her shirt up as he looked he shock his head.. "Oh Kagome." Inuyasha muttered as he gently touched her whip marks. Kagome flinched at his touch, she felt like she had not felt his touch in years but it had only been a few months. Inuyasha had been watching her those few months and completely fell in love with her, His eyes showed her everything she needed to know. "Kagome I am so sorry.." He whispered in her ear. "I love you." The words where like heaven, she could hide her feeling to him no longer she loved him and he loved her. "Oh Inuyasha…." She turned and gently kissed his lips.
Inuyasha kissed back and gently laid her down on the bed taking her shirt off the rest of the way, finally Kagome hade him all to her self he was hers and she was his. They kissed like they would not see each other for years and they needed to get it all in. Kagome raised Inuyasha's shirt and felt his back her hands wounding over his hole back felling everything she could reach. Inuyasha kissed her neck moving down. Kagome smiled and gasped out in pleasure.
