Love and Hate

Chapter 3
After being humiliated and rejected, Hojo went home. With anger and devastation running rapid through his mind and body, he took out his cell phone and dialed a familiar number.
"Hey Hojo! How's my favorite cousin doing?" A loud male voice answered.
"Hey cousin, things aren't well actually. I was hoping you could help me out with a problem?" Hojo said with a smirk knowing his cousin owed him a favor after helping him with summer school.
"Sure what do you need Hojo?" he asked. Hojo explained the situation of Inuyasha being engaged to Kagome the one that we wanted, and that he needs a plan to get her to see it his way.
"Ahhh…I understand. Don't worry cousin I'll take care of it." He said hanging up the phone.
Hojo wanted Kagome, and he was going to get her no matter what the cost was. With a feeling of arrogance, Hojo prepared himself for what was to come tomorrow.

The next morning Inuyasha couldn't help but steal kiss, after kiss from Kagome as she prepared for school. After finally shoving the kiss-crazed hanyou out of her way, Kagome was finally able to eat, with only seconds to spare all thanks to those little distractions.
"Here let me take you, or you'll be late." Inuyasha smirked knowing he was the cause.
Kagome smiled, shaking her head at her fiancé, and climbed onto his back. Inuyasha ran like the wind, carrying his most precious cargo. Thanks to the early morning, and high buildings they managed to travel without being seen, getting to Kagome's school without a moment to loose. Thanking him, Kagome gave him a parting kiss and hug, before running into the busy school.
"Damn… what am I going to do while she's gone?" Inuyasha said to himself as he ran back to the shrine. With nothing better to do, Inuyasha helped Kagome's grandfather clean up the shrine. Hoping to show the old man that he wasn't evil, and that he doesn't need to throw purifying dust at him every time he entered the room. Exhausted from just being around the old man, Inuyasha collapsed on Kagome's bed, finding comfort in their combined sent, and fell asleep.

Kagome looked around for Inuyasha after the final bell had rung, thinking that he might have come back to take her home. With no sign of him, and saying the word to see if he was hiding on her with no avail, Kagome began her long trek home. It was only after walking one block away when out of nowhere a blacked out van pulled up beside her. Four men with masks jumped out and swept Kagome off the street, covering her mouth with tape to muffle her screams. The van drove off with no one the wiser.
Hours had past, and back at the shrine, Kagome's Mother was getting worried for her daughter. Kagome was never this late getting back from school, not without calling at least. Her worry grew as Inuyasha descended the stairs yawning from his nap, and decided to call one of her friends.
"Hello" A female voice said.
"Hey Yuka do you know where Kagome is she didn't come home" Hitomi said with worry in her voice. Yuka told her no, saying that she and Kagome went their separate ways sometime after the last bell. Telling her that they had waited a while for Inuyasha, but after a while, Kagome decided that she would be fine to walk home alone. With every call Hitomi made to Kagome's friends, and the same response, Hitomi became more, and more scared for her daughter's well-being. She turned to Inuyasha with tears in her eyes. Inuyasha grew panicked.
"Inuyasha Kagome is missing" Hitomi said crying. This was a mother's worst nightmare. Inuyasha gasped in horror, his demon yanking at its chains to kill the person who ever got Kagome.
"I'll find her don't worry" Inuyasha said grabbing a hat, he ran out the house, and started the search for his mate starting at her school.

Kagome woke up to find herself blind folded on something soft like a bed. She panicked, and screamed through her gag receiving a smack across the face.
"Shut up wench Hojo doesn't want you to make a single noise, you got that?" The unknown man growled. Kagome winced feeling her cheek beginning to bruised, and then felt more pain in her sides when she tried to move. The memory of the car ride came to her mind, of where she was beat until she passed out.
'Hojo why…why would you do…this?' Kagome thought panicked not knowing what they would do if she made a sound. She really needed Inuyasha but who knew where he was. All she can do is lay there, and hope to be saved soon.

Inuyasha searched all around Kagome's school, trying to find her most recent scent among all the other humans'. He followed her cent into an ally way where he found Kagome's book bag. There were traces of Kagome's blood, and he felt his demon rage. Inuyasha followed the scent of rubber that was mixed in with her blood; to a well-maintained house that had, Hojo's sent all over it. As he listened, Inuyasha heard the voices of six other men laughing, and Kagome's muffled cries of pain. He rushed into the house trying to find where they were. He came to a locked door only to hear her being beaten by them. So engrossed in the cries of the bound girl before them, they failed to notice Inuyasha's entrance into the house.
"Man this chicks hot, no wonder why Hojo wants her." One said tossing her to the side and laughed with all the other men in the room. Hojo grabbed her and forced her to sit up.

"Kagome…this can stop at any moment, all you have to do is agree that we belong together." Kagome sobbed and shook her head, earning her another slap.

"Kagome I put a lot of time and effort into you and everyone agrees that we would be the perfect couple. Now stop being difficult, and get with the program!"
Inuyasha heard the tearing of clothes and his temper snapped. Breaking down the door, Inuyasha barged into the room. He saw Hojo standing over Kagome's battered and bleeding form, her shirt ripped at the collar. All the men in the room had looks of shock on their faces. Quickly regaining their composure the five of them lunged at Inuyasha, thinking their numbers would be in their favor. Hojo dropped Kagome, and reached for the bat he had laying against the wall.
The five men were easy for Inuyasha to handle; most were drunk, making them wobbly on their feet, and their aim worse than a blind man. An easy blow to the jaw had them all taking a long nap. Cracking his knuckles, Inuyasha turned to see Hojo with a bat. He came at Inuyasha and smashed the bat into his head. However, instead of Inuyasha falling to the floor as he planned, the bat smashed into hundreds of splinters, leaving an angry hanyou glaring daggers at the angry human.
Kagome whimpered in pain from her spot on the floor, and then noticed that Hojo had stopped his assault on her. She heard the sound of running feet, and then the sound of fists swinging followed by a growl. The sound of men screaming in pain assaulted her ears, and could only hope that it was Inuyasha who saved her. Before she could think about it more, she faded into unconsciousness.
"What are you doing here Inuyasha?" Hojo spat.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome, growled loudly at him, and lunged for Hojo. Hojo tried to block Inuyasha but to no avail, and was sent flying into the wall, with a bloody nose. Inuyasha didn't wait for him to recover, and punch him in the stomach making him puke blood. He left him with a broken arm, leg cuts, and bruises all over his body, and a bloody face. Inuyasha turned towards Kagome, removed the blind fold from over her eyes and mouth, picked her up, and ran towards the shrine.
'Mate injured must heal her' Inuyasha demon said. 'Don't think I know that now shut up' Inuyasha snapped at him, and locked him away, when they arrived in front of the shrine house. As Inuyasha walked in, Hitomi turned around the corner to see her bruised up daughter in Inuyasha's arms, and cried.
"Don't worry she's fine I'll take care of her." Inuyasha said eyes flashing red, still carrying his unconscious mate in his arms he walked up the stairs to her room.
