A Cry For Help

By: Goth Chick Tiff

Summary:Kagome Higurashi is your average loner in high school who's got a lot of troubles at home that she keeps to herself. At least as average as you can get when you're attending Takahashi High. Considering she's the only loner, Kagome spends most of her time avoiding the all-to-familiar troubles at school. Though beautiful, she hides herself from the world. When she finds out that her friends from the Internet(Inuyasha,Sango and Miroku)are moving to her town, her life changes for the better. Hopefully.

Chapter 15: Leaving

Kagome's eyes were as wide as saucers when she heard the voice of Inuyasha. 'Oh great I'm, in for it now.' Kagome thought, resting her head on Sesshoumaru's shoulder.

"What the hell is up with you today, Kagome? Is it your mission to deceive everyone today? Or do you just get a kick out of making me feel like shit?" Inuyasha said through clenched teeth.

Kagome tried to push away from Sesshoumaru, but he wouldn't budge. Giving up, she decided to yell at Inuyasha in Sesshoumaru's arms. "Oh, no. You've figured me out. I just LOVE to toy with your feelings." She said sarcastically, before taking on a serious tone. "My god Inuyasha, you know that I'm a big flirt. And I told you before, it's MY responsibility to take down Naraku."

Sesshoumaru, noticing how angry Kagome had gotten, rubbed his cheek against her own in an attempt to calm her down. She relaxed in his warm embrace and nuzzled his neck, forgetting that Inuyasha was standing only a few feet away. "I'm going to bed…oooh wait…" Kagome said, slapping the palm of a hand on her forehead. She looked at Sesshoumaru and asked, "Can you give me anything you have on Naraku? I'm gonna have to do some research on him before I go after him."

"That, my dear, is against the law. Of course I could tell you his whereabouts, but you would have to pay a mighty big price for the information." Sesshoumaru said, kissing Kagome on the neck.

"Would you quit it! All this lovey-dovey shit is making me sick!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

"Oh, so all you really care about is getting laid, huh? Or is it that you can't stand seeing me act this way around your half-brother? Do you actually think I intend to fuck you after the shit I went through with Naraku? You have got to be kidding me." Kagome said, pushing Sesshoumaru away from her and going inside her room.

Sesshoumaru glared at Inuyasha and walked toward his study to retrieve the paperwork on Naraku. As of now he wasn't Naraku's lawyer, so it wouldn't really be breaking the law to give her the information, it would just piss Naraku off to no end.

Sango lay down on the bed provided by Inuyasha, with Miroku laying on the floor next to her. "Do you think she should go alone, Miroku?" She questioned, concern for her dripping from her words.

"I think we should believe in her, and respect her decision to do this alone." Miroku answered.

"I do believe in her, especially after seeing her kick Sesshoumaru's ass. I just don't think she should go alone." She commented. "I don't understand why she couldn't tell us. Why couldn't she tell ME? I felt like I was a burden to her when I first came here. Now I feel like I'm just getting in the way."

Miroku got up from the floor and lay down next to her, pulling her into a hug. "I'm sure Kagome doesn't see you as a burden, Sango. She's just overwhelmed with what's happening right now." he assured gently, stroking her hair.

"Maybe you're right." Sango whispered, falling asleep in his arms. Wrapping one of her own arms around his waist, keeping him as close to her as she possibly could.

"Goodnight Sango, sweet dreams." Miroku whispered, softly kissing her on the forehead.

Inuyasha stared up at the ceiling of his bedroom. "Why did she have to go and kiss him? I mean, c'mon, he's more arrogant than I am. Not to mention that he's a total jerk." He thought sadly.

He turned up his stereo, welcoming the depressing song on the radio. He started singing as soon as the lyrics to Scars by Papa Roach began.

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

Drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
I'm pissed cause you came around
Why don't you just go home
Cause you channel all your pain
And I can't help you fix yourself
You're making me insane
All I can say is

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That you're drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassions in my nature
Tonight is our last stand

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
You shouldn't ever came around
Why don't you just go home?
Cause you're drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
And I left my heart open
But you didn't understand
But you didn't understand
Go fix yourself

I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

Sesshoumaru searched his desk for the case file he had on Naraku. Finally finding it under the mess of paperwork from his other cases, he left his study. He walked down the hall, making a turn every now and again, completely ignoring the music coming from one of the rooms

He reached Kagome's bedroom door and knocked gently. When no one answered he knocked again. Still, she didn't answer. He tried the doorknob and found that it was unlocked. He opened the door and found no one in the room. 'She asked me to bring the file and she's not here.' he thought bitterly.

He then noticed the sound of guitar rifts coming from the studio that he had been earlier. "What is that girl up to?"

Kagome sat in her bedroom, waiting for Sesshoumaru to bring her the case file on Naraku. "Really? How long does it take to find a manila folder with the name Naraku Hinote on it?" Kagome asked herself. "Uggh, fuck waiting for him, he'll find me. He is a demon after all."

Getting off of her bed, she retraced her steps back to the studio where she and her friends planned on practicing. 'The practice was totally blown, and I don't think were gonna be practicing any time soon. Especially now that I pissed of Inu to no end.' Kagome thought, reaching the studio door.

Opening the door, she found her guitar sitting in the exact same place that she had left it. "Thank Kami-sama that no one took my baby away." She said to herself. She walked over to the chair, resting in the middle of the room.

After thinking for a few minutes, she finally started strumming the notes to a song that had recently come out. She turned the volume of the amplifier up and played the notes to If I Die Tomorrow by Motley Crue.

I wake up to find myself
After all these years
And where all the time has gone
Still seems so unclear
'Cause there's no one else
Since I found you
I know it's been so hard
You should know

If I die tomorrow
As the minutes fade away
I can't remember
Have I said all I can say?
You're my everything
You make me feel so alive
If I die tomorrow

It brings out the worst in me
When you're not around
I miss the sound of your voice
The silence seems so loud
'Cause there's no one else
Since I found you
I know it's been so hard
You should know

If I die tomorrow
As the minutes fade away
I can't remember
Have I said all I can say?
You're my everything
You make me feel so alive
If I die tomorrow

I spent all my life
Looking for our innocence
I've got nothing to lose
One thing to prove
I won't make the same mistakes
Now I know
That everything will be ok
When I die tomorrow

If I die tomorrow
As the minutes fade away
I can't remember
Have I said all I can say?
You're my everything
You make me feel so alive
If I die tomorrow
You make me feel so alive
If I die tomorrow

Kagome looked at the doorway when she heard clapping. Sesshoumaru was standing in the doorway, his back resting on the door frame, looking intently at her. "Hello Fluffy."

"Kagome."

"I see you have the case file on Naraku." Kagome said after noticing the folder in his hand.

"Yes, I have them. Why don't you come over here and retrieve them?" he said, a smirk upon his face.

"Very funny, Fluffy." Kagome said, refusing to get up from the chair. "Could you please just hand them over?"

"I said before that you had a price to pay for the information." Sesshoumaru said, walking toward Kagome. He stopped a foot away from her and held out the file. When she went to grab it, he pulled the file towards his person causing Kagome to stumble into him.

She looked up at Sesshoumaru, a scowl upon her face. "You did that on purpose." Kagome said, trying to push herself away from Sesshoumaru, but failing miserably. "C'mon Sesshoumaru, I really don't want to get Inuyasha more pissed than he already is."

"Why do you care about him so much?" Sesshoumaru asked, immediately getting angry.

Kagome roughly pushed away from Sesshoumaru. "Why do I care? Because he was one of the first people to care about me. I'm sorry if my caring for your younger half-brother hurts your ego or something. By the way he talked about you I thought you would end up being some snobby rich dude, it's not like the background check I did on you had a picture."

"You know you should never make assumptions on people by what you hear." Sesshoumaru said, hooking a finger under her chin. "Now what exactly did he say about me."

"Oh, like I'd tell you just so you can get offended and track him down just so you could beat the shit out of him. Thanks for the info, but I really need to start the research, I'll be leaving early tomorrow morning." Kagome said, grabbing the folder from Sesshoumaru's hand and walking back to her guitar. She sat on the chair, placing the file on her guitar case and picked up her guitar, yet again strumming a few notes.

"I thought you were going to do research on Naraku?" Sesshoumaru asked, wondering why she remained in the studio.

"Look, I just want to relax before I spend the whole night trying to figure out Naraku's weakness. I'm sorry that I would rather play my guitar than have an hour long conversation with you, but like I said, I would rather not piss off Inuyasha anymore. I'm hurting him enough going after Naraku in the morning, not to mention the incident that occurred only 15 minutes ago." Kagome said, in a depressed voice.

Sesshoumaru's eyes widened slightly at what Kagome had said. "I'm sorry for being such a burden to you, I didn't mean to be an inconvenience." He said, turning around and walked toward the door.

"Oh god. I didn't mean it like that." Kagome said, grabbing Sesshoumaru's hand, stopping him from leaving. "I'm sorry, I don't mean to make you feel like a burden, but this whole Naraku thing has got me worked up. Do you blame me after what that ass put me through?"

"I don't blame you, but nor do I believe you should be doing this. But, unlike Inuyasha, I have respect for your decision." Sesshoumaru said, turning around to face her.

"Now why can't Inuyasha feel that way? Instead he has to fucking yell at me for the decision."

"Simply put, my half-brother is not alright upstairs."

"Oh my god, did you just crack a joke? I so have to tell Sango and Miroku about it."

"You will do no such thing if you value your life."

"Oh, like you honestly believe you could kill me. I whipped your ass earlier."

"You may have beaten me before, but that doesn't mean I cannot catch you when you are off your guard."

"True, but you just gave away your plan." Kagome said smirking. "Why do you hate Inuyasha so much?" Kagome asked.

"It is a long story, and one that I would rather not get into."

"Oh, c'mon. It might be might last time here."

"You have not forgotten your promise, have you?"

"No I didn't forget my promise, but that doesn't mean that I will win. I was drained of most of my power the first time I beat him. This time I'm going to be on his turf. He's gonna know every nook and cranny of his property and I'm gonna be new to…"

Sesshoumaru pressed his lips to hers, efficiently cutting her off. Kagome wrapped her arms around his shoulders, once again entranced by the feel of his lips against hers. Sesshoumaru then pulled away and said, "Do you ever stop talking?"

"I'm sorry I bore you. Well now that I'm relaxed, I might as well check out Naraku's whereabouts and such." Kagome said, pushing away from Sesshoumaru, yet again, failing miserably. "Sesshoumaru, let go. I really need to go." Kagome said, still trying to get out of his arms.

"You don't necessarily need to go, now do you?"

"Not necessarily, but if I don't you'll all be in great danger. I don't want either of you to get hurt."

"I know this, but couldn't you fight him at a later date. I'm sure that your friends would appreciate it."

"That's the thing, if I wait any longer then he'll come after me and anyone that's in his way, which would undoubtedly be you guys. Do you think I could sit idly by and watch as my friends get murdered by the one person I feared?"

"I know, but wouldn't your friends happiness be worth waiting to kill him."

"I know it would, but it wouldn't keep them safe. Why can't anyone see that I'm only looking out for you guys? I'm sorry that I care so much about you guys, but I do. I'm sorry that you guys are in this mess because of me. I don't mean to hurt you guys, but it's the only way to live a partially normal life." Kagome said, tears streaming down her face. She struggled in his arms, finally able to get out of the vise-like grip. She walked over to her guitar, grabbed it and the case file and walked out of the room.

Sesshoumaru followed her to her bedroom, keeping quiet until she turned around. "Look, I'm sorry but I have to do this. And no matter what you say I'm going to do this. I have no option."

Sesshoumaru leaned down and whispered gently into her ear. "He loves you and you know that. And I know why." Sesshoumaru turned around and walked to his bedroom.

Kagome lay in her bed, thinking about what Sesshoumaru had whispered so softly in her ear. 'I know Inuyasha likes me, but what about Sesshoumaru? Does he really like me? I don't want to hurt anybody, but it seems that it's the only thing I'm good at. I get pissed off at Naraku and my mother and kid brother die. I get close to Sesshoumaru and I make Inuyasha feel useless. And then I care about Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru has a hissy fit because I hurt his pride. I can only imagine how Sango feels. I did say that I could have gotten beat for even having her at my home right in front of her. I bet she feels like shit. And Miroku's gonna be there comforting her and totally cursing my name.' Kagome thought sadly. 'They're better off if I leave now.'

Kagome sat up in her bed and pulled a notebook out from underneath her pillow. She then pulled out a pen from underneath her bed. "I'm always prepared." Kagome said aloud. She then quickly wrote a note to each of her friends.

Getting off of her bed, Kagome walked to her dresser drawer and picked out an all black, long-sleeved shirt and a pair of all black cargos. She then searched through another drawer for her undergarments. Lastly she pulled something out from under her bed. It was a black case with her name written in a blood red color. She opened the case and stared at her guitar. "Inuyasha will take good care of you, baby. Just in case I don't come back, I'll give you to him…he'll appreciate it." Thinking about Rin, she grabbed her favorite stuffed animal off of her bed and placed it by the guitar case.

She quickly got dressed and looked at the time. '12:00 on the dot. I better get ready to leave.' She walked out of her bedroom door. Notebook in one hand, the duffel bag on one shoulder, the stuffed animal tucked under an arm, and the guitar case in her other hand. She reached Inuyasha's bedroom first, she placed the guitar case against the wall next to the door, the note resting on top of the guitar. The next bedroom she reached was the one Sango and Miroku shared. She opened the door carefully and place the notes on the night table. Leaving as quietly as she entered, she walked to Rin's bedroom. She placed the stuffed animal and note in front of her bedroom door. 'And last but not least, Sesshoumaru.' She reached Sesshoumaru's study only seconds after leaving Rin's room. She placed the note on his desk, the case file on Naraku next to it.

She quietly left the study and walked to the front door. Before opening the door, she took a quick look around. 'I'm really gonna miss this place.' She then walked out of the door and walked to the garage. "Thank god I know where Inuyasha leaves his keys." Kagome said, pulling out his keys to the motorcycle. "Thanks again, Inuyasha."

A petite woman sat in a black, leather chair, starring at the wall in front of her, a manila folder on her lap. Her short, black her was put in to a bun, a few bangs covering her forehead. A pair of sunglasses covered her eyes, even though she was in an office. She shivered every now and again, though the room temperature must have been around 80 degrees.

"Kagura, stop thinking about it, we had to do it. We had no choice."

Kagura jumped at the sound of the voice and looked to her office entrance. Noticing who it was, she relaxed her tensed muscles. "I know we were forced to, but it doesn't make it any less…."

"Gruesome, wicked, ghastly, repulsive.. "the voice said.

"Yes, Kanna, You needn't go on. I just feel horrible for doing it, writing that message in her own mother's and brother's blood. Murdering them when she was trying to protect them. How do you live life knowing what we've done? We took two innocent lives, and you go on living life like nothing happened." Kagura uttered in a barely audible voice.

"Dear sister, you know that Naraku owns us, he bought us from our family." Kanna said, in her usual emotionless tone.

Kagura took the sunglasses off of her face, revealing saddened blood red eyes. "Unlike you, Kanna, I have feelings. I feel remorse for those people."

"I don't understand why, they were going to die anyway. We just made it sooner." Kanna replied coolly. A sinister smile on her pale, white face.

"You are EXACTLY like him. He's TURNED you into his little mindless drone. Do you not SEE?" Vivid pictures of a boy and mother covered in blood as they lay motionless on the floor flashed in Kagura's mind. Making her feel as if she were experiencing the gruesome murder again. "We've never had to do something like that before."

"You may not, but I certainly have. Like you said, I'm exactly like him. I'm the person he chooses to do his evil doings, because he knows I get a kick out of it."

Kagura stared wide-eyed at her sister. 'I can't believe what she has become. What happened to my little sister?' Kagura walked to her desk and picked up the manila folder she was looking through. "Read that and tell me if this Kagome is a threat." She said holding the file out to her younger sister.

Kanna took the folder and looked through it. The fist page had a picture of a girl riding a skateboard, her face turned toward the camera. She was wearing very baggy black pants with many pockets, a black tube-top shirt that stopped just above her belly-button with a fishnet shirt underneath that also stopped just above her belly-button. Tons of rubber bracelets and wristbands adorned her wrists and arms. A spiked choker around her neck along with two necklaces. One had a bow and arrow hanging on it, the other was a beaded necklace with what seemed to be sharp teeth placed every so often on the necklace. Black eyeliner surrounded her eyes along with black eye shadow, her lips also painted black with black lipstick. Seven earrings adorned one of her ears, the other couldn't be seen. 'Hmmm…good taste.' Kanna thought before flipping the picture over to look at the file.

Name: Kagome Higurashi

Age: 17

DOB: June 27, 1987

Occupation: Student

Personal History: Mr. Higurashi (father) died when she was 13. Has a brother, lives with mother and stepfather.

School: Takahashi High

Additional information: Kagome Higurashi has no friends in the school and is teased continually, beaten, or yelled at. She tends to be alone most of the time, except for when teachers question her about her home life. Her GPA is a 4.0 and is currently taking advanced classes. She has filed for rape multiple times but refuses to give a description of the man nor his name.

Kanna didn't bother to read the rest of the file, not caring that she had killed the girl's brother and mother. She looked up at her sister and said, "She may not seem like a threat, but she's in Naraku's way. Which ultimately means that she's gonna die, no matter how much you protest. Just deal with it." Kanna said, shoving the file back into Kagura's hands and walking out of the door.
