Chapter 8: Why Not Tell Me?
"Yes? Hello?" I asked opening the door, still in my towel mind you. When I opened the door the cold night air whipped around my naked legs and arms, spilling on to my face, the night air was powerful tonight, there must be a summer storm coming. "Yes? Hello?" I asked peering out the door at the back of a someone. He or she, I guess, was wearing a long bulky trench coat, it was hard to tell what gender the person was, his or her head was down, but the person looked tall, but I'd seen tall women before. But I guess that doesn't, well didn't matter after I heard the person's voice.
"Kagome!" it was a male, and in what I could see before he wrapped his arms around my shoulders, he had short black hair. Before I relized what I did, I screamed really loud in fright and surprise. Somewhere upstairs Inuyasha stumbled outta bed and down the stairs as I stood ridged in the arms of the unknown man. It only took a few minutes to know who I was dealing with. The man's hands were traveling down my backside to my but when I heard Inuyasha tumble on to the main floor.
"Miroku!" Inuyasha growled out as his hands rubbed over my rear. I felt violated, he'd never done that to me before!
"Get off me Miroku!" I shouted shoving him out the door, anger was in my blood as I slammed the door on his baby face. "That! That! That pervert!" I shouted trying to brush off Miroku's touch off my rear. I turned to Inuyasha, his eyes were runing up and down my half naked body. I rolled my eyes and placed my hand on my hips as the front door opened again. Miroku peered in at me, my glare meeting his soft, puppy dog eyes. I turned on my heel and walked towards Inuyasha. As I went to pass him, Inuyasha grabbed me around the waist and pulled me towards him. The front door closed, I looked over at Miroku, he was staring at the ground. "What?" I asked softly, I didn't want to sound harsh, but I guess I kind of did, by the look Inuyasha gave me.
"Kagome, you did answer the door in a towel, and not a very large one." Inuyasha said as I felt my face turn red. I knew he was right.
"I was in the middle of my shower, and the knocking and ringing was persistan! What else was I to do? Wake you?" I asked staring at his collar bone, my hands playing in his hair, he had kept it long for me, I loved to play with his long sliky, black hair. It was to much fun!
"Miroku, next time you come over, call first." Inuyasha said glaring over at Miroku, he let go of me and walked to Miroku, his fist meeting Miroku's skull. The thunk was loud, but after I told Sango, Inuyasha's little hit would be nothing compaired to what Sango'll do to him. Miroku then walked into the kitchen, I was watching his every move. When I couldn't see him anymore I heard the freezer door opened, ice being grabbed and placed on the counter. He was fine, I'm going to change, no use standing there in my towel with wet hair.
"I'll be back down." I said to Inuyasha as I walked up the stairs, I hear Inuyasha tell me to wait so I did, a hand on the hand rail. "Yeah?" I asked as he smiled and kissed me. Sweet, milk chocolate kiss. I smiled against his lips, they felt so smooth and soft against my own. "You make everything better. Go see what Miroku wanted to talk about." I whispered kissing him once more then dashing up the stairs after he went towards the kitchen. I heard their voices as I was changing, the house was quiet except for the two guys down stairs. After I changed into my pink, blue, and white plaided pajama pants and my white tee-shirt with the love kanji on it. Inuyasha had, had Sesshomaru buy it for me. I knew how embarrassing it was for Sesshomaru, he had to go to three different stores to find the shirt. It took a lot not to laugh when I was told he bought it. Even now it's funny!
"WHAT?!" What the hell? What is Inuyasha yelling about? Guess I should go down stairs and see. Opening the bathroom door I rushed down the stairs and into the kitchen, almost falling from triping over the rug in the hallway.
"Stupid rug. Inni what's wrong?" I asked using another nickname I made for him. He glared at me but then looked away. "Honey?" I asked trying a different approch. I looked to Miroku but he wasn't giving anything up. "Inuyasha Takashi, tell me, please." I demanded softly placing my hand on his shoulder, they were tence. What was going on? Inuyasha wasn't even looking at me! "Seriously! Tell me!" I shouted, I was fustrated and getting sad, he was keeping something from me, something that kept him from looking at me. I tried not to cry, but tears were burning against my eyes. But I didn't understand why I was over reaching this way, it was hurting me. Suddenly I heard a noise, it sounded like a sob or some kind, but when I looked around I only met eyes. Both guys were looking directly at me, their eyes watching me with worry. Then I realized, the noise came from me. I felt embarrassed, alone, and outta the loop. Turning on my heel, I grabbed my car keys and went for the door. Inuyasha called after me, so did Miroku but I didn't move to go back to the two. Slipping on my slippers I opened the door. I felt a hand grab my upper arm and turned to look at Inuyasha. "Good Night." I said coldly before shaking his hand off my arm and left, getting into my car. Staring the engieen I felt my hot tears roll down my face. It felt as if a thousand pound weight was placed on my heart.
Where should I go though? I can't burden Mom, it's too late to go to Sango, I no longer have my friends from school anymore, they abandoned me long ago. The only person I know will be up at this time is...Hanging my head I knew where I had to go. Shifting into reverse I drove back into the street then placed the shifter into drive and drove down the street, leaving Inuyasha, Miroku and their little conversation alone as I cried in my car.
It took what seemed forever to arrive to my destination. The large house was two stories but really long. I was just relieved to have found the place. Parking my car I locked and set the alarm as I walked up to the front door. I knew he'd be awake at this hour. He was a night owl too. I took a few deep breaths before knocking on the door. I hear noises come from inside the house, a curse here and there, then the door opened. Intence violet eyes stared down at me in surprise.
"Kagome?" He asked as I nodded and looked to the ground. "What's wrong? Where's that bastard Inuyasha?" He asked as I kept my eyes down to the ground.
"Sesshomaru, can I stay here tonight?" I aske, my voice was cold, lifeless, and really soft. Tears were falling to the ground again making small wet spots. Sesshomaru's hand came into view catching a few tears as he tilted my chin so that I looked up at him. I was surprised, his eyes were kind and caring. It made me cry even more, turning my head out of his grip I kept my hands at my side as my body shook with soft tremors from my stiffled sobs.
"Kagome, what happened?" Sesshomaru asked softly, his voice startling me for a second, I looked up at him, I didn't know if I could speak, but I tried.
"I know, I'm over reacting but, it hurts so much. I thought he trusted me, I...I thought he was...Di-di-different!" I tried to say as I brusted even more into tears and tried to hide my face in my hands. I didn't want anyone to see me, but I couldn't go hide in my room. I was trying to be an adult, but I guess I'm just not that strong. An unexpected warmth startled me, making me look up at Sesshomaru, his arms were wrapped around me, hugging me. Keeping my arms in front of my chest, I laid my hands over my mouth and rested my forhead on Sesshomaru's chest, his heart was steady giving some comfort, but I knew that there was only one heart I could listen to forever, but right now the steady heart I needed was causing mine to brake.
"Come on, let's settle you into one of my spare rooms. I'll call Inuyasha and tell him you're ok." Sesshomaru said as he praticly carried me into his house.
"I'm sorry to burnden you, I just didn't know where else to go." I whispered, the world was going dark and blury as he took me to the spare bed room and laid me down. Opening my eyes as wide as I could I thought I saw Sesshomaru smile.
"It's ok, now rest, you need it. I'll call Inuyasha." Sesshomaru's voice slowed and vanished as I feel asleep, some part of my heart hoped that I'd see Inuyasha and talk with him, but I was still hurting and all I wanted was a nice, peaceful sleep. Then all was gone.
