Last time:

"Kagome, I'm not sure exactly how to do this, but I was wandering if…. You know… Maybe you'd…" Smiling at his attempt, Kagome brought up a finger and rested it on his lips. Offering him no explanation but 'yes' before being bold and tenderly laying a feather-touch kiss on his lips. Inuyasha smiled, his life might have finally gotten on the right track. They stayed like that for a while before the doctor came in to take Inuyasha's CBC , and pulse rate. Before leaving he left a letter on the bedside table.

Inuyasha reached over and opened the envelope, as soon as words were read his face paled. "What's wrong?" Kagome questioned. The only thing he could do was hand the letter over to her and looked at her with sorrow filled eyes. He watched as her eyes grew wide at the written message.

Kagome is next.

A Reason for Everything

Chapter 10: Finally and Disaster

"Mommy, mommy look at this!" A bright-eyed 7 year old girl yelled, raising a wild daisy out towards her mother. The woman smiled at her daughter and took the flower gratefully. Standing up she took her daughters hand and brought her in for a hug.

"Thank you Kagome, I will cherish it forever." She replied with a smile. Kagome gave her a big toothy grin, before pulling (or trying to pull) her towards the lake. "Come on mommy; let's go dip our feet in the water!" Kagome spoke excitedly. She stopped her tugging and stared at something behind her mother. Before her mother could turn around, Mrs. Higurashi felt two strong arms wrap around her waist and twirl her around by her stomach. "Put me down Yuudai!" She screamed, laughing as her husband kept spinning her around. When he ceased his 'torture' he put back down on her feet and kissed her gently with passion. "Ewwww, mommy, daddy I'm right here!" Kagome yelled as she shielded her eyes from her parent's passionate kiss. The two adults just laughed. Yuudai let go of his wife and bent down, eye-level, to his daughter and said, "I'm sorry, do you want kisses too (out of the gutter! People)?" he asked before kissing his daughter playfully on the cheeks. Kagome giggled and started trying to escape her father as he began to tickle her. Mrs. Higurashi stood sideline watching the two of them smiling, they both were perfect. Blessings in her life that she treasured greatly. She was stirred from her thoughts when she heard Kagome cry out. "Mommy come join us in the water!"


Kagome's blue colored eyes began to mist with salty tears. That had been such a…. happy, wonderful family time, where did it all go wrong? Then she remembered spying on a conversation her parents had three years later, the same conversation that caused them two of them to split.


Kagome's mother sat wide-eyed in the blue leathered sofa, looking as if she had just seen a ghost. Kagome crouched listening, around the corner, she could hear everything perfectly but she would peak her head around every so often to look. She peeked around the corner again, this time she spotted her father pulling up one of the neatly wooden kitchen chairs, and seating himself across from her mother. Sympathetic, yet content features displayed themselves on her father's visage. She watched as her father reached a hand over to her mother's folded hands, which were lying on her lap. Her mother glared at him and slapped his hand away. He did nothing but take his hand back and let his eyes wonder over to where Kagome was hiding. Kagome turned her head back around the corner, so he wouldn't see her but continued to listen.

"Now, now let's not overreact." Her father murmured.

"Don't tell me not to overreact," Her mother hissed. "I come home from working all night into the morning to find my husband having an affair, and what's worse your marrying your mistress. When did you plan on telling me this yuudai, or were you even going to huh? You were just going to up and leave? Well fuck it, I expect divorce papers no later then tomorrow, and I expect you out of here no later than tonight. And don't you dare say a word to my daughter!" With that Mrs. Higurashi stormed out of the room, leaving her 'husband' to head upstairs to pack.


Inuyasha watched as Kagome's eyes began to water, he notice she became tenser and her scent had decreased to sorrow. He mistook it as her contemplating staying with him due to the death note. (A/n death note is also Japanese movie and it is really cool. Check it out!) His ears flattened on top of his head, and he replaced the arm around her waist, setting at his side. He didn't need to look up to know that Kagome was starring at him with confusion. Somehow he couldn't find it within himself to look her though; he was too ashamed. Then again being born a half-breed he should have expected mistreatment, even from the nicest of creatures. To him everyone was the same, they all despised him, there was no love, there was no life only pain. What use had it been anyway to save him from the beatings of his father? Those who helped him would only seal their own fate. What's the use of trying when either way you still lose? (A/n that's how I feel right now)

He felt something pull at his sleeve, and forcing himself, he looked over in Kagome's direction. Her hand was tightly wrapped in the cheap hospital plastic gown he wore, 'which is extremely itchy' he thought. Her other hand cradled his cheek, and with slight pressure, began to lightly force him to face her better. He let his eyes slowly wonder up her toned upper body and finally his eyes bore into hers. It was as if all her emotions were shining through her eyes: sorrow, regret, loneliness, neediness, understanding….. How could so many emotions be bottled up in such a frail and fragile girl?

"Kagome I am sorry," Inuyasha began. "It's all my fault your in this position, and who knows, you might have to end up like me. Fearing for your life, worried about what's going to happen once you let your guard down, once you finally lull yourself to sleep. Even then it's terrorizing, with thoughts of 'Will I be attacked?', 'Should I be resting when I could be found at any moment?' I'm pretty sure you don't want to live like that." He sighed, finishing his explanation. Kagome shook her head, men and their pessimistic views on life. Her hand moved from its place on his cheek to his hand resting on his lap. Entwining their fingers, she gave a slight squeeze reassuring him she wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.

A small grin graced Inuyasha's lips; maybe god had sent him an angel. An angel in disguise as a raven haired beauty, a savior to lead him from the wreckage he was in. She had to be an angel. No one he had ever known had been so caring, so innocent….. So trusting. Maybe there was hope for him yet. He was brought out of his deep reverie by his angel's voice.

"Inuyasha, no matter how much you down on yourself or how many times you convince me, I'm not leaving you alone to handle this. Just because you have been betrayed by people you loved, I am talking about your father, and you let your past control your future. Forget everything, forget the beatings, and forget the negative. Don't shut me out; I am trying to help you. This is a serious problem that you can not handle on your own and I am here to help." She lowered her voice just above a whisper. "Even if that means I have to lose my life over it. As long as it means you'll be alright."

Inuyasha was at a loss of words. What could he say anyway? Thank you for wanting to die for me? No... He simply muttered 'Kagome' exasperatedly and once again gathered her in his arms and held her close. Inuyasha felt as though he was finally free, he looked at the door and sighed. Now if only his brother would stop interrupting every good moment he had with Kagome. Kagome gave a slight blush and got off of Inuyasha, instead she stood bedside to him. Sesshoumaru walked over to Inuyasha and dropped some files on to the hanyou's lap.

"What the hell is this?" He questioned, pick up a manila folder and began flipping threw them. Sesshoumaru played a smirk on his thin lips.

"Those, my dear brother," He began, gesturing toward the files. "Is all the proof we need to put father behind bars. It's everything from DUIs to the most recent case of child abuse. Of course I can take no action of reporting him to the police until he makes an appearance. For now, it seems as if he had disappeared, they don't even have any records of him working at this job. My guess: he is waiting to make his move. He has been watching Inuyasha ever since police raided the house, he can't attack if everyone is expecting it. Be on your guard at all times." He turned toward Kagome. "I wonder if I could talk to my brother alone. There are something's I wish to discuss privately with him, please."

Kagome nodded her head in agreement. Kissing Inuyasha on the forehead, she whispered 'I should get home anyway, I'll visit tomorrow I promise' and left.

Kagome lightly closed the door and walked down the hall to the elevators. Sighing she held a hand to her heart, it just wouldn't stop fluttering. A ding sounded and the elevator doors opened. Stepping inside she pushed 'one' and pushed 'door close'. Just as the doors were closing a hand shot out to stop them, scaring the hell out of Kagome. She scooted over as the man stepped through and waited. Kagome had an ominous feeling about this man, but shook it off as nothing but her overreaction and nerves. Stepping from the elevator she made her way outside the hospital, unaware that the man from the elevator was still following her. She turned into the ally way, taking the short cut home, before being able to take another step she was thrown into the wall. Crying out in pain as her should her made a cracking noise when she hit the stone wall. Standing up, she held her arm while looking at the perpetrator. The man lifted his hat and untied his hair; he smiled wickedly, chuckling as he stepped closer to her.

"You're….You're… Inuyasha's father." She gasped, taking a step back for every step he took forward. Eventually she was backed into a wall, no where to go, no where to run, and she was all alone. Tears began to leak from her eyes, fear taking over her whole body. Immobilizing her, (she was) too afraid to scream, to run. He was so close now, the warm feeling of his breath on her cheek; his lips lightly brushed her ear as he whispered. "I am going to take great pleasure in this torture. Do not be so foolish as to think I will kill you so quickly. Oh no, no, no, no my dear Kagome. This will only be the beginning."

Kagome let out a sob as his hand caressed the other cheek, his lips crushed into hers, bruising them. The hand caressing her cheek slid to her blouse and began unbuttoning it; ah how he loved the way she began to thrash against him, hoping to break free. Such weak attempts though, he was still able to get her shirt off and discard her bra as well. He let a hand roughly grab one of her bosoms and gave it an aching squeeze, causing Kagome to cry out in pain. 'Not like this, god, not like this.' She thought over and over again, feeling him discarding her pants and panties and sticking his hand unpleasantly between her thighs. The pain was unbearable, never had she felt so defenseless, no one to protect her, no one to help save an innocence that could not be restored once taken. Inutaisho chuckled, a sadist look in his eyes told Kagome this pain was nothing compared to what he had next. He dragged her brutally over to a nearby dumpster, and handcuffed her to the side. (A/n I have seen dumpsters that have a sort of handle on them. Just in case anyone was confused.)

The handcuffs dug into her wrist, they were so tight. Bruises marred her breast and her thighs. Blood leaked from between her legs and all she could do was cry. There was no hope. 'Please.' She begged over and over, making it look like she had lost her mind. No chance, he grabbed a handful of her hair and harshly rammed her against the dumpster she was momentarily attached to. Deciding to make it a little more 'fun' he began to slap her around. 'Ah, this is almost as fun as it was with Izaiyo.' He thought sadistically. Blood spewed from Kagome's mouth as she began to vomit, occasionally choking. The vomiting ceased, hopefully it was over…..Or not. Kagome let out a blood curling scream. She had not noticed that he had removed his pants or the fact he had advanced toward her, bottom-half completely naked; until he had thrust himself inside her violently. Putting a hand over her mouth to the point of suffocation, Inutaisho continued his assault. Kagome sobbed heavily, and orgasms painfully when he had released him self within her sheath. He did nothing more but pull out and leave, although he did have some kindness seeing as he had released her from her binds before leaving.

Kagome's vision was blurred due to all the tears. Shaking from the experience, she dressed herself. Hating herself for what happen, blaming herself. Straitening up and wiping her tears, she went home and acted as if nothing had happened. Racing upstairs she took a shower, scrubbing so hard her skin began to bleed. Kagome didn't care all she wanted was to wash the filth that resided in her body. Stepping out from the shower Kagome examined herself in the mirror. How could anyone love someone who was marred all over their body? How could they harbor any sort of that kind of feeling for someone who is tainted…Someone who is a beast? Breathing heavy with anger Kagome launched herself at the mirror, punching it. She gasped as she felt the broken glass slice threw her hand and rest itself there; great another problem for her to deal with. She stood there a moment looking at the hand, watching the blood leak out of the wound and swelling around the glass shards and dripping to the floor, before falling to her knees and weeping. She cried as hard as she could, so hard that it began to make her gag. Absent mindedly she smashed her wounded hand into the tile floor, pushing the glass pieces farther into her hand. Sniffing, she walked over to the cabinet and pulled out a towel. Piece by piece she pulled out the shards and then soaked the towel in warm water, and placed it on her hand. Cleaning up the mess, Kagome calmed a bit. Taking the towel off her hand she bandaged it up. Right when she opened the bathroom door the doorbell rang.

She walked down the stairs, sorely I might add, opening the front door she smiled brightly and launched herself into the person's arms.

Inuyasha laughed as Kagome threw herself in his arms, he caught her and hugged her back. He set her down and pecked her lips, before grabbing her hand and dragging her inside.

"Inuyasha! Were you discharged already? You stupid idiot! Why didn't you tell me?" She questioned. Inuyasha blushed a bit and looked away.

"I wanted to surprise you," He began. "Also I have great news! Sesshoumaru found away to find my father! He will not be able to lay a hand on you, or me anymore….." Inuyasha paused, noticing Kagome's mood had changed to terror. When he asked if she was alright, she answered 'of course'. Inuyasha shook it off as nothing.

"Wonder what's on the television?" He asked to no one and began flipping threw the channels. Kagome wasn't telling him something and that bugged him. He had been open and honest, why couldn't she?

"Kagome are you absolutely, positively sure everything is alright? You seem a little… I don't know terrified about something." He questioned. Kagome pushed herself away from him and answered.

"I'm sure." Another lie from here. "You don't seem like it, something is wrong I can tell. Just please tell me."

"Inuyasha knock it off!" She screamed. "I don't want to talk about it. I don't care if I can trust you; I don't care if you're only worried about me! I just don't care! So please stop prying, I don't want to tell you!"

Inuyasha's eyes glossed over, and his facial expression turned from worry to hurt. Without saying a word he got up and left. Not knowing what else he could say. He figured anything he said would only make it worse. The best thing for him to do was leave without a sound.

Kagome watched as he walked out the door, sniffing and holding a hand over her nose and mouth as she cried. (a/n it sounds weird but that's what it looks like. I have seen people do it.)

Her mother stood around the corner, watching. She has tears of her own in her eyes. She had never seen her daughter so broken up before. Not that she paid much attention. She just stood there, watching her daughter cry from the shadows.

And Kagome, totally oblivious to her eavesdropping mother, whispered to the thin air :

"I'm sorry Inuyasha, I can't tell you….

Yet."

Well I hope it was worth the wait! 7pages my longest chapter yet! 3,407 words

What happened in this chapter is influenced by my feelings and what happen to me. I just took it farther then the actual event (Inuyasha's black heart you know what I am talking about.)

Please review and I hope this chapter was the best for you all. I made it longer than any other because of the long wait…. Was it worth it?

I am posting a picture of me on my profile, look for it!
