34- Naraku Gets His Ass Kicked

Kagome's alarm clock screeched annoyingly, but Inuyasha shut it off quickly. He sat up and looked at Kagome, who was still sleeping soundly. He had awoken in the middle of the night and lie awake for the rest of the night, watching her rest as she snuggled against him.

Even though he hated to wake her, he shook her gently and whispered, "Kagome, come on. Wake up. Time for school." She blinked her eyes open and stretched. "Good morning." He said cheerfully.

She smiled, "Good morning. I have to say, I like the way you wake me up. It's much better than that stupid clock, busting my eardrums."

He couldn't help but laugh. Suddenly his face grew solemn and he asked, his voice low and even, "How's your leg and ribs?"

"Pretty good." Came her answer as she stood up to get ready for school. "At least I can walk like normal. My ribs barely hurt."

He got up and pulled her close, nuzzling her neck, "You don't have to go to school today if you don't want to, you know. Are you sure you want to go?"

She giggled and pulled away before kissing him quickly, "I'm positive. I need an education and so do you." She then turned and began getting ready. He got ready as well and ten minutes later, they left her home and made it to school.

Miroku and Sango were there and, under Kagome's request, Miroku quietly told Sango about everything that had happened between Kagome and Naraku. Sango listened in wide-eyed horror before continually demanding if Kagome was all right. Kagome insisted that she was over and over again. Once Sango was positive that Kagome was doing fine, they went inside of the school and hung out for ten minutes before the bell rang.

When it did and they had to separate, Kagome went to class confidently. She was not worried about what anyone thought about her sudden running away at the dance and then missing school on Monday. In fact, she was not even worried about Naraku and all of his whores.

English was fun for her, which came as a relief because she needed as much fun as she could get. When Kagome got into World History class, she went to the bathroom where she just happened to run into Kikyo, who sneered at her, as she stood behind Kagura and Kanna. "Well, well," She said in that snotty cheerleader voice, "if it isn't the little slut who slept with Naraku over the weekend."

Kagome just smiled. She couldn't help it. She had been waiting for Kikyo to start shooting insults at her to try and hurt her. "You know, Kikyo," She began as she washed her hands. "I know that you want Inuyasha and all, but he doesn't want you. I mean it's so obvious. He wants me and he has me. And I have him."

Kagome faked a gasp as she continued, laughing inside, "I know! You're single, right? And you'll probably always be unless you get an attitude adjustment. Anyway, Naraku is single, too! And you're only in it for the sex, so why not date him? Oh, wait…I'm sorry. He has a pathetic excuse for a dick…so that wouldn't suit you too well, would it? Oh well, it was worth a try." She then turned and walked out of the bathroom, leaving Kikyo and her friends staring in open-mouthed awe.

Outside in the hallway, Kagome was laughing a little. Sighing, she bent over and got some water. When someone said, "Well, I didn't expect to find you out here," she jumped, startled, and spun around.

Inuyasha was smirking down at her. "How are you doing?" he asked.

Kagome smiled up at him. "I'm doing great. I just got done humiliating Kikyo in the bathroom." She giggled when she remembered the words she said to Kikyo's face.

Inuyasha smiled. He was impressed by how quickly Kagome had gotten over what Naraku had done to her. "Well, I better hurry up and use the bathroom before I get in trouble. Not that I care, anyway. Not as long as I get to see you."

Kagome felt her face turn beet red. She ignored it and gave him a quick, tight hug and turned and left as he turned and went into the bathroom.

Lunch arrived and Kagome had gotten her food and had sat down with Sango and Rin and Miroku, who were munching down their sandwiches. As Kagome began eating, she waited for Inuyasha to get there. Suddenly, Naraku sat down next to her, scaring her out of her mind and causing her to choke on the water she had been drinking. She managed to swallow and said, in a stiff voice, "That seat is reserved for someone."

Naraku started eating as if she had not said anything.

Kagome was now conscious of the glares that Miroku, Sango, and Rin were sending in Naraku's direction as she glowered at him as well. As she was sitting there, she thought: What if Inuyasha shows up?

The last thing she needed at the particular moment was for Inuyasha to appear and see Naraku. There was no guarantee that Inuyasha was going to hold off on beating Naraku up like he had said he would.

"Maybe you didn't hear me the first time," Kagome repeated, more loudly this time, "That seat is already saved for someone."

Naraku turned his icy stare toward her, making all of the courage leave her body as her heart thudded inside of her head. She gulped.

"I believe," He replied, "that this is a free country, is it not?"

Kagome could not talk. Her mouth had gone suspiciously dry and she feared even moving in front of the likes of Naraku. The last time she had seen him was when he had hurt her and had done those horrible things to her. Seeing him this time made him seem even more vicious.

Suddenly, a harsh voice demanded, "What the hell are you doing in my seat?"

Kagome jerked her head up to find Inuyasha staring down at Naraku angrily, his fists clenched tightly at his sides. He had obviously forgotten about getting any lunch.

Naraku simply looked up at him, unafraid.

Kagome saw that Inuyasha was squeezing his hands tighter and tighter in an attempt of not to hit the guy in front of him. She jumped up quickly and grabbed Inuyasha's arm and whispered in his ear, "No. Not now. Come on. We'll get out of here."

Naraku eyed Kagome as he spoke to Inuyasha. "Do you always get your woman to fight your battles for you? Or do you just listen to everything she says? I know I would never allow any woman of mine to tell me what to do."

"Well," Kagome said, feeling the hairs on the back of her neck stand up as she spoke to Naraku, "right now, you don't have any women and Inuyasha can do whatever he wants to do. It's a free country, remember?" Then she jerked Inuyasha out of the place where he had been rooted and he reluctantly followed her out of the school building.

The sun was shining beautifully and it was pretty warm for a winter day. Kagome sat on a bench that was placed under a dead oak tree and said, "That was close."

Inuyasha sat down beside of her, mumbling, "I could have had him!"

Kagome looked up at him, "And you would have gotten suspended and possibly hurt." Her mind floated back to Naraku's words, threatening her if she told anyone about what had had done to her.

Inuyasha scoffed as if he did not believe her words of warning. But then he said softly, "Fine. I'll wait. But I can't wait long. Come on. We got to get back inside."

Kagome nodded and they walked back inside, hand in hand, and went to their last class.

When school was over, Inuyasha had to stay behind to talk about some missing assignments that he had for his last class. He had told Kagome that she could go on ahead of him. She smiled and said, "Ok," and left.

She was walking down the sidewalk behind some bushes when suddenly; a hand seized her upper arm and spun her around. She saw that it was Naraku and he was glaring at her, lust in his eyes. "You're coming with me." He said.

He then attempted to drag her away. But she held her ground and pulled on her arm, trying to free herself, "Oh, no, I'm not." She told him.

He turned and gave her an acrimonious stare and said, "Yes, you are. Now, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way."

"In that case," Kagome said, "the hard way." And she kneed him in the nuts.

He fell down in pain, but managed to get back up, very angry. "All right, bitch," He snarled. He lunged at her and grabbed her hair.

She squeaked like a mouse caught inside of a cat's mouth, as he began to pull her hair as he walked, causing him to follow after him unwillingly from the pain.

Without any type of warning, Inuyasha leapt in front of Naraku and punched him hard in the face. This caused the latter to release Kagome, who backed away in fear. She knew that there was going to be a fight and she also knew that there was nothing she could do to stop it.

Naraku wiped away the blood that coated his nose and mouth and glared at Inuyasha, who was waiting for him to try something. Naraku lunged at his opponent quickly. Inuyasha, with his fast reflexes, hooked his foot behind the knee of Naraku, causing him to fall onto the cement ground.

Feeling anger rising within him, Naraku jumped up and turned to face Inuyasha, who stood, waiting patiently for his enemy to attack. Naraku leapt at Inuyasha and grabbed a handful of his shirt and punched him in the face repeatedly. Inuyasha managed to shove him off and follow up with a swift right hook to Naraku's left jaw.

Kagome was standing behind, watching fearfully as the two clashed angrily. They were both beating the hell out of one another and Kagome knew that she needed to do something. She turned and raced back toward the school, searching for someone while Naraku and Inuyasha continued to fight.

Naraku slugged Inuyasha hard, in the nose, causing blood to spill from the new wound. Inuyasha paid it no heed and returned the favor, causing Naraku's already profusely bleeding nose to bleed more.

Inuyasha tripped Naraku again and when he was down, he delivered furious kicks to his rib cage and stomach and even face areas. Inuyasha even heard a crack sound come from somewhere near Naraku's chest as he continued his assault.

A car pulled up near them and Kagome jumped out of the backseat and began to pull on Inuyasha's shirt, begging, "Please, stop! That's enough! You've beaten him, all right? Now, come on. We've got to go."

Inuyasha had snapped and he kept kicking and stomping on what was left of Naraku, who lay, defenseless, on the bloody ground.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome shrieked, tears in her eyes. She hated seeing him fight the way he did. She especially hated to see him bloody and hurt, tearing up an extra bloody and hurt someone. "Snap out of it! You've done enough!"

Inuyasha finally ceased in tearing up Naraku and went with her into the back of Miroku's car and they pulled away, leaving Naraku on the sidewalk to fend for himself.

Naraku growled in irritation and stood up, feeling immense pain coursing throughout his ribs. Blood was coming out of his nose and lips, but he ignored it and headed home, thinking the entire time:
So, she told him about what I did to her. Why else would he attack me with such ferocity? I warned her of the consequences, but she chose to ignore them. I guess now I'll have to show her not to trifle with me…
