Chapter three: Too far?
Kagome lie there, thinking. Is he going to kill me? She thought. He wouldn't. Would he? He was a very dangerous pirate, killing hundreds of people, almost every day? Every time they pillage a town, how many people does he kill? One, two, three.... sixty? How could someone be so... cold. Uncaring.
Easy, Kagome thought, He doesn't. He doesn't care that he injured me. He doesn't care. Tears pricked her eyes painfully. How was she going to get through this? She squirmed a bit from the rubbing of her bandages and groaned.
Pain, to Kagome, was an endless thing now. Her whole body hurt. Chest, back, arms, face, everything. Inuyasha had done one hell of a beating on her. Her ribs screamed with every breath. Could it get worse? It had.
She remembered that about two nights ago, when Inuyasha beat her, she woke to a sharp pain in her ribs. She had opened her eyes to see Inuyasha tieing her corsette. She would never forget his words,"Don't fuck with me, bitch. You could get yourself killed." He had said. And now for the first time in Kagome's life, she was teriffied of someone. Inuyasha.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Inuyasha pulled the sails to tie them down quickly. The wind screeched past him, blowing his hari everywhere. There was a storm comming, and it was time to hunker down.
"Pull that sail down!" He screamed to the look out. He nodded sharply and went to tie it down. He looked up at all the sails to see them all down. He looked at his men as they gathered around him, waiting for the next command.
"Cap'an, what now?" Sango yelled to him.
"We go inside! Get ready to ride out one hell of a storm, everyone!" He hollered to his crew. They all responded with a quick,"Yes captain," and went to the dining commons.
Sango sat in a chair next to Miroku, her head resting on his shoulder. She sighed and snuggled closer to him.
"Want to go to our room," Miroku whispered in her ear seductively.
She looked up at him and smiled cutely, and blushed. "Yeah, but I should check on Kagome first. Come with me?" Sango said, her voice rising an octive. She always got so sad when it came to Kagome. And she was still furious with Inuyasha as was Miroku.
"Yeah," Miroku murmured into her hair. He stood up and helped Sango up. He brought her into a warm hug. "I love you, you know." He rumbled at her.
She laughed quietly. "I know, I love you, too." She whispered back and kissed him on the cheek. The crew didn't seem to like it when they showed puplic affection. Most of them had either lost a wife, or left them at the Pirate Cove with Mother Theresa. Only one of the crew had children, Kin, had a little daughter at home.
Sango lead Miroku into their hallway, walking past Inuyasha's then Miroku's room to enter Sango's. They walked in to see Kagome awake, but staring off into space, seemingly thinking.
She turned her head and looked at Sango, giving her a weary smile. Her way of saying hello.
"Hey, 'Gome," Sango greeted happily. "Miroku and I are here to check you up and change your bandages. 'Kay?" Sango said, cheerily.
Nodding slowly, Miroku then approached her to untie her corsette. This was the first time in two days that Miroku checked Kagome. Other than Miroku, Sango had been bringing her food, helping her to sit up and eat.
Miroku untied her corsette and untied her bandages. He ran his fingers over her ribs, gently pressing them, when he reached her broken ribs, he stopped pressing and ran his fingers over them gently, feeling her flinch slightly. The swelling had gone down drasticly, but the brutal bruises remained, not relieving Kagome of their constant pain.
"Kagome, good news is, your swelling has gone down, ribs are aligned so when they heal, it'll be like it never happened," He said, looking up at Kagome and giving her a smile.
Quickly, Miroku bandaged Kagome up and looked at her corsette. He didn't want Inuyasha on the same ship as Kagome, let alone the same room right now. He looked at Kagome. "Kagome, would it be okay with you if you wore one of Sango's night gowns." Kagome nodded her head side to side. She didn't care.
"Sango," Miroku said, telling her to grab a night gown.
"I'll see you in the room, 'kay? Now go. I got to dress Kagome." She said shooing him out of the room.
Sango walked over to Kagome and slipped her dress off carefully, and threw it into a corner. Kagome gasped in suprise.
"Sorry!" Sango apologized,"I have to hurry, I'm going to spend the night with Miroku tonight. That okay with you?" She asked. Kagome nodded a yes. Again, she didn't care.
"Thanks!" Sango said and continued to dress her until she was lying back down on the bed comfortably in a blood red silk night gown. "There," Sango said, and pulled the sheets up to Kagome's shoulders.
Grabbing the blankets and pulling them to her chin, Kagome closed her eye's and felt Sango hug her. "It'll be okay," Sango murmured and left to Miroku's room.
Kagome snuggled into the blankets and, before falling asleep, thought, I hope. and drifted off with a sobering numbness.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
She had barely shut the door behind herself before she was pinned to the wall and attacked by hungry lips quickly manupulating hers into an intense reaction by deepining the kiss.
Miroku held Sango to the wall while their hot kiss ensued. He had his hand up her shirt carassing her soft skin and migrating upward to her bound chest. He steathily untied the binding and threw it to the ground, attacking her chest with his gentle hands as soon as his hand released the piece of cloth.
Moaning into the kiss, Miroku knew that Sango was pleasured. He wanted to have her pleasured more. He pulled her shirt over her head, breaking the kiss momentarily for a short spout of air while he removed the covering piece of clothing.
He left her mouth with an intention. She whined and then gasped and moaned in pleasure as Miroku pleasured her chest. Rolling his tongue over her nipple while rubbing the other one.
Once he felt that one was being neglected, he switched, nibbling, sucking, and biting her delicate nipple while roughly rubbing the other breast with his hand.
Miroku stopped his minstrations to pick Sango up and set her on the bed. He straddled her and had his shirt off before he dove back down to her lips, massaging her breasts with his hands.
Sango wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to her. He undid her pants and had them off and thrown to the wall in seconds. She was left their in just her panties.
Sango kissed him and moved from his mouth to his jaw and to his neck where she licked, nibbled, and suckled on his neck. Miroku groaned in pleasure. God, he loved his fiance. She was everything to him.
Quickly, Sango flipped Miroku on his back and quickly ripped off his pants and threw them to the wall. She got his underwear off and was ment with his throbbing erection. Miroku was a big man, Sango knew, and she loved how full she felt with him.
She dipped her head down and licked his tip and he groaned again. Only she could have this affect on him.
Sango put his erection in her mouth and began to suck and hum as she bobbed her head up and down. Miroku groaned and panted with pleasure. What she could do to him... amazing.
He closed his eyes and saw stars, releasing his seed into her mouth as she drank it down. Sango licked his hardening cock and released it from her mouth, crawling up his body to claim his lips again with a renewed hunger.
Miroku smiled coily and flipped them so he was on top again. He kissed his way down her body, from her mouth to chin, between her clevage and dipped his tounge into her belly button. She gasped and groaned in bliss.
He came to her panties, placing kisses back and forth across her panty line and occasionaly licking her. After a few seconds of teasing, Miroku took her panties and let them drop to floor beside the bed.
He took two of his fingers and gently entered her, making her moan and thrash with pleasure. He pumped a little faster and she tightened her walls against his fingers, signalling her release was near. He withdrew his fingers and she wimpered before screaming with pleasure when he replaced his talented fingers with his even more talented tongue.
Whirling and thrusting his tongue in her, Miroku savered the time with her. They hadn't much time for sex anymore, with Inuyasha and Kagome to deal with, this was the first time they had sex in almost five days. He pumped her faster and she released with a scream of his name and he lapped up her sweet juices.
He kissed back up her body to her lips and kissed her passionately. She could taste herself on his lips and moaned.
Climbling onto her, Miroku put his erection at her entrance and rubbed it gently. She cried out in pleasure. He swooped down to her ear and whispered,"I love you," and put the head into her and she groaned.
"I love you, too," She moaned breathlessly. He got his answer and thrusted into her, causing both to moan and groan.
"Faster," She breathed, thrusting her hips into his, making him go deeper. He set a fast pace quickly that had them moaning and screaming eachothers names.
He felt her walls contract onto him before clamping on him hard, and at the right time when he was the deepest in her, trapping him there. Her release caused him to release and she screamed his name and he cried out hers in pleasure.
Rolling off of her, pulling out once they relaxed, he spooned her from behind, panting and kissing her neck, cheek, and ear. He planted one lust filled kiss on her lips and whispered,"I love you," again and heard her mumble her response. She was asleep, he had tired her out. Miroku smiled and nuzzled her neck. He pulled the covers over them and fallowed her in sleep.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Inuyasha tossed for what had to be the millionth time in one hour. Why couldn't he sleep?
Guilt, asshole, guilt. His demon snickered.
Oh, don't be rude. His human repremanded his demon.
Shut it! His hanyou snarled. Was he going to get any sleep tonight.
Nope. His demon popped the 'p'. Not until you stop feeling guilty. His demon teased.
Shut up! He snarled again.
Make us... His two halves taunted.
Go to hell! He barked.
Too late, we're here. He could feel his human smile as he spoke.
He tossed again, this time completely ignoring his screaming halves. They seemed to be more eager to talk ever since he brought Kagome on this boat.
Inuyahsa groaned and sat up. He rubbed his face and stood. Leaving his room, Inuyasha walked onto the deck. He leaned on the wooden railing and looked up at the clear sky, the full moon eluminating everything around him. He heard the splash of dolphins in the distance, he heard them snicker their song.
Turning to check that the anchor was set to the bottom of the ocean, Inuyasha pulled the chain and he walked back to the edge of the raliling.
He only slept in his pants, and he liked it like that. He hoped up onto the railing and swung himself into the water with a splash. He resuficed and floated on his back.
The moon shone brightly down on the water as Inuyasha lounged in the water. The waves swayed him back and forth. The water was warmer in the summer than in winter. He hated the summer rain storms, his ship always went into a panick. He never worried, being the seasoned shipman he was, and took control instantly.
Inuyasha kept his eyes closed and stopped thinking all together, letting the numbness of his mind leave him in a numb stated. He soaked up the dark light of the full moon. Inuyasha lifted his hand and took off his bandana. He threw his hat that was floating next to him up on the ship deck and let his dog ears soak in the water. He kept the opening of his ears above water.
When his hat was off, Inuyasha could hear everything on the ship. His crews breathing and snoring. He listed to Miroku and Sango's steady breathing. He then zeroed in on Kagome's. He blocked everyone else out. She was breathing in quick, rapid breaths, the air sucked into her lungs was expelled quicker than it came in. He worried a little.
He listened to her and heard her moan and groan in her sleep. A nightmare. By the sound of the thrashing of her legs, he guessed a bad one.
What would make her so scared? Inuyasha thought absently.
You. His demon answered, non-chalant and calm again.
Shut up! He snarled.
It was silent and he felt his demon go back into remission in the back of his mind where his human rested. He focused back on Kagome and heard her scream silent enough to not wake the ship, but loud enough to let him know she was terrified.
Should he wake her? No. Seeing him now, after a waking from a nightmare and waking to see what she probably dreamt about was not a good way to wake. He waited for her breathing to quicken to an awake, scared, pace. She woke herself up with a bad dream. Not a good way to wake up.
He heard her sit up and swing her legs over the edge of the bed to set her feet on the ground. She probably needed to use the rest room. He zoned out from her and listed to the water splash against the ship and the roar of the ocean.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Kagome looked behind her at her baby brother strapped to her back. He smiled and giggled and clapped his chubby hands together. Kagome laughed. "Sota, you are so cute!" She said, using her baby voice. He giggled and bounced. She shook her head and went back to picking herbs and placing them in a basket placed atop her head. She moved quickly.
"Ye are doing well, child!" Kaeda called from a few rows over. Kagome looked up and smiled. She was about ten years old and her brother was about six months, already holding his own head and laughing and smiling.
"Thank you, Gramma Kaeda!" Kagome hollered back. She looked up ahead her and saw her mom and dad sitting under a tree, his mother resting between her dads propped legs. She smiled at them. They smiled and waved back.
Her mom looked at her father and said something. He nodded and they stood to walk to her. She stopped picking herbs and stood as her mother and father approached.
"Kagome," Her mothers angelic voice said,"We're going back to the hut, what time will you be home?" She asked.
"Before sunset, momma." Kagome said, smiling. She reached up and hugged her mom, then she hugged her dad. Her mom kissed her forehead and her little brothers, her father doing the same.
"I love you," Her mother whispered and brought her daughter to her, she said this in her hair, and kissed the top of her head.
"I love you, too." Her father declared and hugged his daughter to him also. He ruffled his sons hair. "We love you, too, Souta." His father said and his mother kissed him on his chubby cheek.
"See you at home, momma." Kagome yelled as her parents walked away toward the hut. She went back to picking herbs.
..................................................
"No!" Kagome screamed and ran into the burning house. She looked everywhere. She left her little brother out side, hidden in the bushes. She found her mother in the back room, fire was surronding Kagome, slowly poisioning her lungs and she coughed. She looked at her mom and there was blood everywhere.
"K-Kagome," Her mother choked and more blood gushed from her mouth. Blood was coming from every opening on her body, nose, eyes, ears, and a sword slash across her gut was gushing more and more blood.
"Mom!" She screamed and got down, kneeling next to her mothers head and taking it into her lap. "Mom, please, you'll be okay, please mom, stay here!" She wailed and cuddled her moms head.
"I-I'm sorry, Kagome. I-I c-can-'t." Her mom wheezed and coughed more blood coming from her mouth, splattering Kagome's tear-stained face and her Kimono.
"No! Mom, please." Kagome begged, crying harder. She looked around the room for her father. She coughed as more poisionous smoke clouded her lungs. "Dad, Daddy!" Kagome screamed. She listened only to hear the screams of the villiagers as they ran from the pirates who where running rampid around the villiage, stealing what they could, and killing those in there way. Blood curdling screams filled the air.
"I-I love you, Kagome. Tell Souta, I loved him with e-everything I-I have, too! I'm sorry Kagome. So sorry." Her mom whispered and with a pained gasp, she released her last breath and died. Kagome screamed in despare, holding her mother closer. She was close to blacking out and stood, her vision blurring in and out of blackness. She grabbed her mothers lifeless body and fought her way through the burning house. She stepped on fire and it blistered her feet.
A piece of ceiling fell on her, burning her arm and blackening them, making them bleed. Her face was scortched, she knew and continued carring her mother with a determined face, trying to block out the pain. She kept her vision, it blurred and blackened but she forced herself into consiousness. She pulled her mom out into the open.
Pulling her to a bush where she had Souta stashed. Kagome shushed her screaming brother and left her mother next to Souta to quiet him. She ran into the burning village and screaming people, searching desperately for her father.
"Daddy! Daddy, where are you!" She screamed. All she got in return was the screaming teror of her fellow villagers and friends, and the maniacl laughing of pirates as they rampaged the village.
"Daddy! Please, no, Dad!" She screamed. She ran from burning hut to burning hut, more dangerous fumes filling her lungs and burning wood falling on her, scortiching her skin.
Kagome weezed and collapsed. She forced herself up, tears in her eyes. She had to stop looking for him, he was gone. She ran back to her dead mom and her brother, feeling more and more light headed, she passed out and the last thing she saw was a pirate invading her little saw was a pirate that gauged a sword into her left shoulder.
..................................................
Kagome woke up screaming a little. She panted and tried to cal her breathing. Just a dream, just a dream, just a dream. She repeated in her head, the mantra slowing her breathing until it returned to normal.
Tears she didn't know had formed falled from her eyes and she wiped them away. She looked out the window and saw the full moon. She wrapped her left arm around her ribs and hoisted herself up with a pained grunt. She placed her feet on the floor and hands gripping the bed on either side of her small frame.
She stood. She wanted to go on deck, the ship swayed very gently, enough to make her calm, but not enough to make her wobble. She ambled to the door and leaned on it. Her legs weren't steady, being laid up in bed for a couple days hurt her legs. She gripped the frame and stood, waiting for her legs to steady beneath her.
The door opened with slight creak. She walked out of the room, holding her ribs still, and out to the deck. She released her ribs and realized they didn't hurt so much. She walked to the railing of the boat and on the floor she saw a hat and bandanna. She recognized them immediatly as Inuyasha's. She looked around for him.
Not seeing him anywhere, she gently bent and picked them up. She folded the bandanna and placed it on the hat and put them next to the sail pole.
She looked down at herself in curiosity. Her chest was bandaged and exposed and she could see the discoloration of her flesh that speckled out from the bindings. She pulled her dress sleeves onto her shoulders, and too lazy to tie her corsette, left it opened, the sstrings flapped in the sea breeze.
She leaned on the railing and looked up at the moon. It was perfect. The clouds surronding the moon made the sky look beautiful. She sighed, content and happy.
Inuyasha looked up and was shocked to see Kagome leaning over the railing. She looked happy. He frowned as his demon and human acted up, telling him to talk to her. He pressed them back. He didn't want her, and his human and demon did.
He splashed loudly and she started, looking down at him, her hand over her heart and she backed away. He grabbed a piece of jutting wood off of his ship and jumped up. He landed on the railing and hopped down, he shook himself like a dog.
Kagome stared in wonder, he had scared her, yes, but she was wrapped up in him. His perfectly tanned and toned chest and his wet body. She was just sixteen, why did she look at him like that. She shook her head gently and then looked at him. She looked at his face. She gasped in surprise.
Atop his head, rested two silver dog ears. They where a light pink in the middle and they looked fuzzy.
Inuyasha was furious with himself, he forgot about his ears. Not even Kikyou had ever seen his ears. Shit, don't think about her now. And he pushed Kikyou to the back of his head. He looked at Kagome, he saw her happy expression. She was actually smiling at his ears.
She's beautiful when she smiles... He thought, he should make her smile more. He was surprised that she didn't sneer at him and call him names. He was a half-demon.
Kagome stared at his ears for a second more and moved foreward to him until she stood right in front of him. He looked down at her and made eye contact. She raised her hand in a silent question.
Maybe if I'm nice to her.... Inuyasha thought and then let the thought slip. What could it hurt? He inclined his head and he felt her soft hands begin to work his ears. He moaned in bliss.
Kagome worked his ears and giggled when he began to purr. He wasn't so big and scary now, huh? She worked his ears, more he purred. She giggled again and he opened one eye to look up at her.
Feeling the rubbing stop, Inuyasha looked up at her. Please, Inuyasha, you can't be him anymore, let go. His human insisted.
You love her... His demon backed.
Inuyasha thought on it a second. Then he realized, he just might. He closed his eyes and took a deep sniff. He could smell Kagome clearly, her scent was all he needed, all he wanted.
I do. Inuyasha closed his eyes and heaved a heavy sigh. He felt like a weight lifted off of his shoulders. He stood to full height and pulled Kagome against him gently, careful of her ribs. He felt her stiffen and hold her breath.
Guilt crashed over him in waves. She was terrified of him. It was all his fault.
He leaned down to her ear and whispered,"Please, don't be scared any more, Kagome."
Kagome went rigid at her name. He had said it. Did he mean it? Yes... Kagome, he did, let him love you, let you love him. A part of he mind said. She believed. She needed this, she needed to let herself be who she was six years ago. And she will, step by step.
He felt her nod once into his shoulder. She lifted her hands and wrapped them around him hesitantly.
He looked at her and lifted her chin. He closed his eyes and kissed her on the lips. He felt her go rigid again and she pushed away, scared. She turned away from him and bolted back to Sango's room.
Inuyasha stood there, stunned. Look what you did?! Idiot, you have to be careful with her, do you think she's just going to love you all of the sudden because you do?! No! You hurt her, physically and mentally. Go slow! Jackass... Inuyasha's demon mumbled. He did go to fast. But did he go to far?
