Chapter 27. You And I
***INU POV***
You know when something really big is about to happen and you can feel it in your whole body and you start to get butterfly's in your stomach? Sorta like your brain is sending tiny little signals up and down your whole arms and legs telling them that something your not going to want to miss is going to happen soon, making them shake uncontrollably like they just cain't stand the anticipation.
I was shaking like hell.
My hands clenched around the steering wheel were shaking like leaves on a tree during a hurricane. My foot was pressed down on the gas pedal as far down as it would go and my teeth were clenched together.
Sixty five miles per hour.
"You might wanna slow down now." This kid said as he clung onto the siding of his carseat. I ignored him and pressed down harder, my eyes trained onto the tail light's of the black car speeding ahead of me.
Seventy…Seventy-five…..Eighty miles.
"Um…this is a city street. Slow down sir!" He shouted again.
I could hear him screaming for me to slow down but I also had my inner demon growling for me to go faster, to push harder. I didn't ignore my instincts.
Eighty-five…Nighty….Nighty-five….
"SLOW DOWN!" He screamed as he clenched his eyes shut.
Naraku's car sped through a stop light that was red, making a car that was going through the intersection, come to a screeching halt in front of us.
"Dammit. Hold on." I ordered him. I swallowed and jerked the wheel to the right to avoid the car and the angry driver in the middle of the street. The kid started screaming for me to stop but I kept pushing the car forward. I jerked the car to the right so suddenly it started fish-tailing. I let go of the wheel and waited for the car to re-correct itself. Once the car stopped swaying back and forth and straightened out, I grabbed onto the wheel again and pressed down onto the gas.
Naraku's car took a sharp right turn down a dark city street.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Atitoshee shouted into my now human ear.
I chuckled darkly. "Keeping up with that bastard."
I realized how I must have looked. Hands clenched around the wheel, back arched forward, my madman eyes trained on the road ahead of us making me squint. I must have looked like a male version of Cruella De Vil on crack.
I turned the car down the same road and saw that Naraku's car had parked in front of a very tall and very wide sky scraper and that he had taken Kagome inside the building.
"Shit." I said as the car came to a screeching halt making the kid practically get whiplash. I unbuckled my seatbelt and pushed open the car door and raced out into the middle of the street without even making sure if there were another car's. Luckily I made it to the other side of the road in one piece. I raced up the concrete steps that were placed in front of the building for stairs and I walked up toward the front door.
"Mr. Takahashi wait for me!"
I turned around and saw the kid look both way's before he crossed the street, then sprint over to where I was standing. He had something behind his back and I quirked a curious eyebrow at him.
"Whats that?" I asked him out of breath.
He pulled out a sleek black case from behind his back and held in front of him for me to see. "Headquarter's told me to give this to you, just as a precaution."
I slowly unlocked the case and opened it.
Inside was a silver Glock twenty-two forty caliber. I took a hesitant step back and eyed the gleaming and polished gun.
I stood on the opposite of the barrel and swallowed. Father had taught me a shit load of guns and how to use a gun for protection. When I was little we even used to go to a shooting range's every other month for practice and it was actually fun. But actually having to use a gun on a psychopath that was holding the woman you love captive, was a completely different story.
I grabbed the Glock and loaded it with bullets, made sure the safety was on, then tucked it into the waistband of my jeans and covered it with my jacket. The kid set the case down and gave me a weak and reassuring smile.
I turned back toward the front door and eyed the gleaming silver handle suspiciously. This was the moment I had been anticipating and dreading. Naraku was a tricky bastard and he would't go down without a fight. I knew that for sure.
So when I reached out my hand for the handle on the door, I was hesitant. Kami only knows what booby trap he could have set.
"Muso….Inc? Do you know anyone by the name of Muso?"
I turned my head to look at the kid. He was reading a sign that was hung onto the side of the building.
"Muso?" I grunted.
He nodded. "Yea. Thats what it says right here…"
"Yea I know him…" I whispered to myself. Then I cleared my throat and ordered that the kid wait outside until I came back. He was shaking pretty badly form the little car ride on the way over here and I didn't want to traumatize him any further. He didn't argue either.
I told him that he had to call for backup at the agency because I could't do it alone. He grabbed his phone out and tried dialing but, he was shaking so badly that he couldn't press the button's. I growled impatiently and took the phone from him and Icalled headquarters' and told them that we had found Naraku.
They were ecstatic and told me they had to get a SWAT team ready because Naraku could be armed and dangerous and that he could easily kill civilians and kill Kagome. They said it would take about fifteen minuets and I told them that it was good enough for me. Any backup was better then none.
Once I was finished with the phone call, I turned my attention back to the door and said to hell with it and grabbed on. I squeezed my eyes shut; waiting for the electric bolt that would fry me to bits or my body being purified by a barrier. But nothing happened. No lighting bolts or a barrier that would completely obliterate be. Nothing.
I cracked my eye's back open and I grinned.
'Go get her. NOW'.
I snorted.
'Did you think I was just going to leave her in there?'
'JUST GO!'
'Oh yea. Right. On it!'
I flung open the door and raced into the building with Attitoshee waiting patiently behind.
'Sometime's you are just so dense...'
xXx
The main lobby had all the lights turned off and it was pretty dark. The only source of light was coming from a red illuminated sign that read Exit. I made my way a round a large check in desk and the main lobby.
The place was fucking huge.
I sighed and rested my hands on my hips. 'This is going to take longer then I thought.' I thought to myself.
I started walking toward the stairwell but stopped short when an idea come to mind. My eyes trailed over toward where the elevator's were placed and saw that there were four elevators in pairs of two on opposite sides of each other.
I walked over slowly and cautiously. I swallowed and leaned my ear and hands up agains't one of the cool metal doors.
Nothing.
I walked over to the other two and did the same.
Still nothing.
I grinned evilly and walked toward the last one. I pressed my ear up against the door and waited.
Nothing at first but then….then I heard it. The sound of an elevator shifting and moving floors.
I jumped up excitedly and punched a fist into the air. "YES!"
I immediately put a hand over my mouth as if that would erase the echoing yell I had just shouted. I looked all around making sure no one had heard that and then I mouthed "Opp's."
Turning back to the elevator's I realized I had no way of knowing which floor they were on. I would have to go to each and every floor searching. Running back to the stairwell, I made sure that the handle of my gun was covered up by my jacket and walked up the first set of stairs.
The first floor was completely empty. And so where the other ten. Nothing but a bunch of empty desks, computer's, conference rooms and offices. I silently made my way through each of them trying not to make any loud noises.
I climbed the stairs to the twelve floor and stopped suddenly when I heard a door opening and closing. My hand instinctively went to the gun handle on my hip and my heartbeat increased. I took a hesitant step and continued to climb the stairwell. I reached the door and took a deep breath, pulled out my gun, turned off the safety and opened the door really fast and rushed in.
I took a look around at my surroundings and kept a steady hand on the gun. The twelve floor was completely empty. No desks, no computer's. Just floor space and concrete pillars holding the building up. I sighed and lowered my gun and started walking toward one of the conference rooms. That was when I heard the noise. It was a groaning noise. Sounded like someone had been punched in the gut.
I followed the hollow moaning sound to one of the office doors and pressed my ear up against it. The sound was muffled like the person had a sock in their mouth. I wiggled the door handle and found it to be unlocked. I smirked behind my bangs and swallowed down a chuckle.
I knew who was behind the door and I bet a million yen that she's just dying to see me.

***KAG POV***
"Hakudohsi, get the priest on the phone. NOW!" Naraku shouted as he gripped onto my leg harder and deeper. I winced but I didn't take my eyes off the rearview; the black car was still fallowing. And if anything, it was gaining us. Which seemed absurd ls because we had to have been going two times the speed limit.
"Naraku the lights about to turn red..." I pointed out frantically.
Naraku saw the light turning yellow and yelled, "GO HAKUDOHSI."
Hakudhoshi pressed down onto the gas and gunned it through the now red light. I screamed out as I saw a car coming straight for us in the middle of the intersection. Luckily, the car slammed on its brakes and stopped before it had a chance to hit us. Hakudoshi turned the car down a dark street and pulled into the parking lot in front of a big sky scraper.
"Naraku, the priest is asking for you." Hakudhoshi said as he passed the phone back to Naraku who took it and pressed it to his ear.
"Hello? Yes….yes we are on our way to my office can you-… Oh you are? Perfect. Ill see you in a few minuets."
Naraku snapped his phone closed, tossed it to the side and grabbed onto my arm and forced me out of the car. I heard the squealing of tires from the car that was following us and Naraku pulled me into the building faster. He told Hakudhoshi to leave and that he would call him when he was ready for him to come get us. Naraku dragged me inside the building with me tripping over my own feet. Naraku pulled my arm harder and dragged me toward the elevators.
He pressed the twelve floor button and let the door's close.
We rode all the way to the top with Naraku tapping his foot impatiently the whole time. Once the elevator stopped, He dragged me out into a empty space that was obviously made to be a common vvwork space and walked me into a big conference room and threw me down onto the floor.
My arms cushioned the fall and I looked over my shoulder to see him towering over me with a roll of duck tape. "Wha..what are you doing?" I asked.
He snorted and bent down and grabbed one of my arms and jerked it forcefully behind my back, making me shriek out in pain. He grabbed my other arm and started tapping them together. "Im making sure you cain't go anywhere my dear little fiancé. You are to stay here before the priest can get here. Then, we will marry. After which we are going to another location because, obviously, this one isn't secure."
My face was pressed up against the offices carpet as Naraku started binding my feet together.
"Why are you doing this to me?" I cried out. I tried wiggling my finger's around, hopping I could somehow untie the tape, but I couldn't. I was stuck.
He flipped me over and leaned me up against a file cabinet and stuck a pice of tape over my mouth. I shouted in protest but the sound was muffled.
He smirked, satisfied by his job of tying me up. "There. Perhaps now you wont be such of a nuisance." He said as he started to remove his tie. He brought the tie down around my face and I screamed into the tape, but it was of no help. Naraku secured the tie around my eyes and he chuckled.
"There nowDarling." He said and I could hear his footsteps move toward the door. "Don't you think of going anywhere now, you understand?" To that, he laughed out and left, shutting the door loudly behind him.
"YOU BASTARD!" I shouted into the tape. Tears began to gather in my eye's and I started to cry. I whipped away the tears using my shoulder. I started to kick my feet and felt them hit a chair which made it tip over and fall. I kept flailing around, kicking, screaming and crying. I was starting to have a panic attack that I couldn't stop. I felt like I was in a strait jacket.
After I stopped kicking and about ten minuets passed, I slowed my breathing and just laid on the carpeted floor. I was to tired to kick around and my throat hurt from screaming. The realization that Someone would have to come find me soothed and calmed me down. Even if it was Naraku I knew I wouldn't had to stay bound and left alone in an abandoned office.
Someone would come looking for me.
I inched across the floor like an inchworm and when my head hit something hard, I moved myself around until I could sit up and cross my legs indian style. I kept moaning into the tape incase someone came for me. If someone was looking for me, I wanted them to hear me.
I leaned my head against whatever I was sitting up on and sighed. I was so tired. I moaned some more and then I suddenly heard the squeaky office door open. I stopped moving as I heard footsteps walking toward me. Whoever was in the room with me was getting closer and closer to me. I moaned into the tape and made my hands into fists. I really wanted to hit Naraku in his smug ass face.
He started to untie my feet and then started untying my hands. Once he was finished with freeing my hands, I couldn't stop myself as I suddenly lashed out and punched Naraku in the gut making him fall to the ground.
I smirked and resisted the urge to laugh. I reached up to untie the blind fold from my eyes so I could try and run away and find help but stopped short when I heard Naraku groan and cough.
"Awh jeez princess. Isn't it whoever saves the damsel in distress is supposed to get a kiss form the young fair madden? Not get punched in the stomach like this is a WWA match?"
It wasn't Naraku.
I took a sharp breath and stopped moving. 'I know that voice…but…but that's possible.' "Who…who's there?" I asked curiously. Maybe my ears were playing tricks on me. Or maybe Naraku had disguised himself as Inuyasha again.
The person laughed out and leaned in closer to me. "I would think you would remember. It hasn't been that long since we've seen each other."
My heart started pounding harder and harder in my chest. 'I must be dreaming. I must be.' I shook my head. "No…no theres…theres no way.." I whispered to myself. I must be hallucinating. Or maybe I had hit my head and I was in a coma.
I felt the person scoot closer to sit across me and they slowly brought there hands up onto my face. Their hands were very warm and comforting. The person moved in closer and closer toward my face until I could feel his breath on my mouth.
"Remember me now?" He asked huskily.
I swallowed and licked my lips. "Im dreaming. Im dreaming. I must be dreaming."
He chuckled and moved my face in closer to his and I licked my lips again. He moaned in pleasure and my hear beat faster if thats possible. "If this is a dream, I never, ever want to wake up."
He pulled my face into his and pressed his lips onto my own. It was so simple and yet so life changing. It was soft and perfect. And it felt like I was floating on a cloud looking at the world below me. And actually seeing the world for the first. And just like that, I knew where I was supposed to be. Right there. Kissing him. Nothing else mattered. Just being in his arms, his velvety lips pressed up against mine.
He pulled his mouth off of mine and removed the blind fold from my eyes; allowing me to see. I blinked as my sensitive eyes were flooded with light and brightness. I looked up and suddenly my heart stopped beating all together.
Inuyasha.
My Inuyasha was sitting across me with a cute grin plastered on his face like a fallen angel. "Didja' miss me?" He asked as he tilted his head to the side.
Nope. It definitely wasn'tNaraku.

***INU POV***
She was wrapped up like a present; just waiting for me to find her. She had a tie around her eye's so she couldn't see and had duck tape binding her hand's behind her back and her feet tapped together. Her mouth was covered with a single strip of tape which she was groaning against.
I smiled so hard I was afraid I would hurt myself. I had found her. I had found my mate. And she was perfect.
I approached her slowly and tucked my gun back into my waistband. She could sense me being near her and her back stiffened and she stopped moving. She moaned into the tape covering her mouth and she clenched her hands into fists. I smirked and kneeled so I could unbind her feet. Once I was finished with her feet, I moved up to her hands. I was about to remove the tie around her eyes so she could see it was me, but before I could, she swung her feet around made her hands into fists and punched me in the gut. I groaned and doubled back onto the floor.
Kagome smirked; obviously proud of actually hitting me. I grabbed onto my stomach and coughed involuntarily. "Awh jeez princess. Isn't it whoever saves the damsel in distress, supposed to get a kiss from the young maiden? Not get punched in the stomach like this is a WWA match?"
She took a sharp breath and stopped moving. "Who….who's there?" She asked.
I laughed and kneeled next to her which made her get tense again. "I would think that you would remember. It hasn't been that long since wee seen each other."
Her nose flared and her breathing increased. "No…no theres…theres no way…" She muttered.
I mimicked her posture by sitting parallel to her on my knees. I slowly brought my hands up to cup her face. She tried to control her breathing but she sounded like she had just finished running a few miles. Her skin felt like silk beneath my finger tips and I leaned in so close to her face I could feel her breath on my mouth.
"Remember me now?" I whispered.
She swallowed and licked her lips. "Im dreaming…I'm dreaming. I must be dreaming." She told herself.
I chuckled and drew her face in closer to mine. She licked her lips nervously which I found extremely adorable. "If this is a dream, I never ever want to wake up."
And that's when I closed the space between us and kissed her. It was soft and perfect. And it felt like I was floating on a cloud looking at the world below me. And actually seeing the world for the first time. And just like that, I knew where I was supposed to be. Right there. Kissing her. Nothing else mattered. Just her in my arms, her velvety lips pressed up against mine. I reluctantly broke the kiss so I could breathe and finally took the blind fold off of her eyes. Her eyes fluttered and then she looked up at me.
"Didja' miss me?" I asked softly.
Her mouth dropped and she swallowed again."Inu….Inuyasha…..INUYASHA?"
I chuckled and shrugged. "Hey. How you been?" I asked casually as if we were two old friends who hadn't seen each other in years sitting in a coffee shop catching up on old times.
Her face went pale and I could see her hands starting to shake. "Your….you….you aren't…..how are you alive? Your'e…your'e dead!"
I squinted at her like she was speaking a different language. "What? No Im not."
And then I remembered; the last time she saw me, I had been stabbed in my gut and I was lying in a pool of my own blood on the schools stage. Bleeding to death. That was last thing she saw of me.
Dying.
She had imagined me stone cold dead. Heat gone from my flesh, heart stopped beating. She had pictured me gone. Out of her reach and her life.
I grabbed onto her hand and looked into her glossy eyes. "Oh Kagome I….Im so sorry you were worried." Tears started to fall from her eyes and I cupped her face and whipped them away with my thumbs. "Please don't cry." I whispered.
She shook her head and I kissed her forehead and she leaned her head into my chest. I wrapped my arms around her body and rubbed her back as she cried into my chest. Each sob racked through my body as if it was my own. I felt her pain and her sorrow. I felt her longing and wanting and everything in between.
"You were gone Inuyasha. You…you were just..gone!" She wailed. "Naraku he…he took me and he..he hit me." She ran a hand over her left eye which I knew had been bruised for some time. I could see her as she remembered all she had been through. It broke my heart. "And he wanted me to…to…" She continued to cry harder and harder and couldn't continue what she wanted to say. She grabbed onto my jacket like she was scared I would disappear right in front of her.
I rubbed her arms and her back trying to soothe her. I knew I wouldn't be able to erase what had happened to her and Kami only knows what had, but I needed to at least try.
"Shhhh." I whispered and rested my head on hers. "Its gunna be ok. I promise. I promise."
"…Ok.." She cried weakly.
We stayed there in the middle of that office. Too afraid to be apart. Too scared that, even if we lost sight of each other for just a second, we would be lost without each other forever.
And so we stayed there in the middle of that office.
She cried and I tried to soothe. I listened to her sobbing and the tick-tocking of the wall clock that was perched above our heads. Kagome's breathing eventually got quieter and less labored the longer we sat. She kept pushing her body into mine more and more until she was sitting in between my legs with her side pressed into my body. It wasn't sexual. Just us two sitting together.
Her hair was soft and it smelt like lavender . I kept inhaling the smell of her and couldn't wait until I was a half demon again so I could smell her scent. Eventually, her breathing was normal and so was her heart beat.
"Its black." She muttered after some time.
I nuzzled my head into her hair some more. "Hmmm?"
"Your hair; its black." She said and she nuzzled her cute little nose into my neck.
I chuckled. "Yeah I know. It happens once a month when theres no moon."
"Oh." She sighed. "Well when will your silver hair come back? I miss it. And your cute doggy ears." She chuckled.
"It will come back when the sun rises. I miss it too Princess."
She laughed. "I missed that too."
I smirked. "What? What did you miss?"
She hummed and grabbed my hand and squeezed. "You calling me princess." She started rubbing her thumb over my hand. "Say it again." She ordered softly.
"Princess." I whispered.
"Say it again." She demanded.
"Princess."
"Again."
"Princess."
She sighed and looked up to me. I could see dried tears stains on her cheeks and her face was pale from sobbing so hard. But still she was as beautiful as ever. Her eyes roamed all over my face and I did the same. I cupped her cheek with my hand, loving the feel of her skin in my palm. I rubbed my thumb over her dried tear stains trying to erase them and erase her sadness.
"Kiss me?" She requested.
"Yes ma'am." I chuckled.
I drew in her face and kissed her on her lips. She titled her head to the side and deepened the kiss. He tongue started to probe my mouth and who was I to stop her? I let our tongue's intertwine. She moaned into my mouth which made me moan into hers.
She broke our kiss and lowered her head back to my chest and I kissed her forehead.
"You came for me." She whispered.
"I came for you." I whispered back. "I told you I would always make sure Id catch you when you fall didn't I?"
She smiled at the memory. "You did."
I sighed and leaned away from her so I could see her. "I really hate to bring this up but we really need to get out of here. Naraku could be back any minuet and Id bet that the SWAT team should be here by now."
Her eyebrows knitted together. "You called the SWAT team?"
I laughed. "No. I actually sorta kinda work for the FBI."
She snorted and rolled her eyes. "Yeah right."
"No seriously. I told the FBI that they needed a demon working on the payroll. Not humans." I stood up and offered her my hand which she took.
"Yeah well look how well that turned out." She said sarcastically as she took the ends of my hair in her hand and studied them.
I watched her as she gazed at my hair which she made a face at. I laughed and she smiled. "Come here you." I said as I grabbed her and wrapped my arms around her waist and she rested her hands on my chest.
"Do you love me?" She asked.
I smiled and rested my forehead on her own. "You bet your cute little ass I do."
She laughed lightly. "Say it properly."
I looked into her eyes and smiled. "I love you Kagome Higurashi."
She smiled and stood on her tip-toes to kiss the end of my nose. "Good boy."
I shook my head and wrinkled my nose. "Don't treat me like a dog."
She snorted and laughed. "Hahaha thats funny. Treat."
I started laughing with her and her silliness. Her laughter was contagious. Like the flu.
Suddenly I heard a door open and close. I pulled Kagome in to me and instinctively brought her around my back and shielded her with my body. I glared dagger's at the door. The door swung open and Naraku marched in. He was growling and his red eyes were trained solely on me.
"How in the inner circles of hell did you not kick the fucking bucket?" He asked.
I felt Kagome grip onto my shirt and press her face into my back. I scoffed at him and cracked my knuckles. "Oh well it looks like you didn't try hard enough. As you can see Im back and ready to take your sorry ass on."
He sneered. "Shut up you filthy half demon." He smirked as he eyed me from head to toe. "How unfortunate that you have lost your super human ability on this night." He clucked his tongue. "Awh too bad."
I slowly moved my hand behind my back and grabbed onto the handle of my gun gently.
Naraku raised his eyebrow and got a superior look on his face. "Oh I wouldn't think about using that gun if I were you."
Kagome's grip tightened on my jacket. "What gun!" She asked half to herself.
Naraku chuckled sending chills up and down my spine. "Oh you didn't know? Inuyasha has a gun on his person." He looked over at me and smirked. "Don't you Inuyasha?"
I sneered bitterly. "Shut up. Why the hell would't I have a gun?"
He shrugged and started walking in a large circle around me. I had to rotate my body around with him so he couldn't get his sleazy hands on Kagome.
"Tell me Naraku," I said as a brought my hand behind my back so Kagome could grab onto my finger's," why did you steal Kagome away? What motive do you have for kidnapping her?"
He chuckled and sat down in one of the desks chairs. "I kidnapped Kagome to get back at you."
I stared at him like he was fucking crazy. Which, of course, he was. "What? and why the hell is that?"
"Its simple. Kikyo loved you."
I shrugged. "Yeah I know that. But what the hell does that have to do with anything?"
He slammed his palms down on the oak desk and stood up fiercely making both me and Kagome flinch. "ITS HAS TO DO WITH EVERYTHING! I LOVE HER!"
I threw my hands up in the air in exasperation. "YOU CAN FUCKING HAVE HER!" I shouted back.
"Oh no its not that simple." His gaze turned away from my face and past my shoulder and I knew he was staring at Kagome. "I need her now."
I got into a fighting stance and put a hand on the gun again. "Like hell you do. Your'e going to have to get past me first asshole."
His eyes sparkled and his nose flared. "Don't mind if I do."
With that, he sprang forward and ran past me knocking me to the ground on his way. He grabbed Kagome around the waist with one hand and held a regular looking pocket knife, I didn't know he had, to her pale throat. She started whimpering against his grasp and I took out the gun, cocked it and aimed it for Naraku's forehead.
"Ah, ah, ah." He scolded me like I was a young child being caught stealing from a cookie jar. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. One wrong step and your darling little Kagome here could be in some serious trouble." He pressed the blade into her throat harder and she cried out like a whipped dog.
He started walking backwards toward the door with Kagome going along with him. "Come on Kagome, were going now." His eyes flicked back up to me and he said, "don't you dare come for her."
And then, he ran. He took the blade off of Kagome neck and picked her up in his arms and ran up the stairwell with me trailing in my human body behind them.
xXx
***KAG POV***
"PUT ME DOWN!" I yelled in protest. I had just gotten Inuyasha back after I thought he was dead. There was no way in hell I was going to lose him now. I wiggled around in Naraku's arms trying to escape and run back to Inuyasha, but I couldn't break free.
"INUYASHA." I screamed over Naraku's shoulder. I could hear Inuyasha running up the stairs following us, but he couldn't keep up with him being human.
"Hold on Kagome!" I heard him yell.
Naraku reached the top floor and pushed open the door to the rooftop and let it shut tightly behind him. The top of the very tall skyscraper was lined with asphalt and a bunch of generators.
The cold winter air bit at my nose and I started shivering. The air was crisp and I could see the sky was a light blue and grey color from the sun that was starting to rise. Naraku gripped onto my body harder and ran for the edge of the building which made me scream out in panic and fear.
"What the hell are you doing?" I screeched.
Just as we were about to reach the edge did I hear the sound of a helicopter's blades whirling around and I was suddenly blinded by a search light. The helicopter's light landed on Naraku and I and the helicopter itself hovered over us ominously. The wind was picked up by the propeller blades and made my hair whirl around my face obnoxiously and I couldn't see.
The door to to the helicopter suddenly opened and there was the hell spawn Hakudoshi grinning evilly down at me. He pushed a foot laded out of the door and Naraku grabbed onto it with one hand and started pushing me up the ladder.
I gazed up the ladder at Hakudoshi who was laughing at my scared and confused expression.
That was when Inuyasha caught up to us and grabbed Naraku around his waist and tackled him to the ground. Inuyasha and Naraku started to punch and kick each other, trying to make the other one pass out.
Inuyasha punched Naraku and Naraku punched Inuyasha. But Inuyasha didn't give up. I stared in awe at how how strong Inuyasha was for only being human.
Well it was amazing until Naraku flipped Inuyasha over onto his back, pinned him down so he couldn't move or escape and started choking him.
Inuyasha grabbed onto Naraku's hands, trying to pry them off of his windpipe but Naraku was too strong. Inuyasha's eyes bugged out of his head and he started gasping for air as Naraku squeezed tighter and tighter onto his airway.
"STOP IT!" I yelled helplessly. I swung me feet off the ladder and sprinted over to Naraku and started beating his back with my fists. "GET OFF OF HIM!" I yelled.
After some time Naraku grew agitated of me and he turned his attention away from a choking Inuyasha to hit me across my face. I staggered back and feel to the ground, twisting my wrist in the process. I winced as pain shot up and down my arm and I yelled out.
"You bastard!" Inuyasha spit and kicked Naraku in the face, sending him backwards to the edge of the building. Inuyasha charged for Naraku only to have him grab onto Inuyasha jacket and forced Inuyasha's face closer to his.
"Your are nothing but a burden and a pice of worthless shit you pathetic excuse for a half breed." He whipped Inuyasha around until his heels were pressed agains't the edge of the building. "Say goodbye Inuyasha. And don't worry, ill take good care of Kagome." Naraku spat angrily. Inuyasha's eyes met my own for a split second. And in that second did a small faint smile proceeded to appear on his face. Naraku scoffed at this and then proceeded to push Inuyasha and my heart, off of the building.
Life become's really slow and painful when bad things happen to good people. You remember all the good things. But you cain't get past the bad. It was like watching an instant replay of Inuyasha falling off the skyscraper over and over again. And I don't think I have ever screamed or cried so hard. For the second time in my life, Ive had to see Inuyasha be taken away from me.
"INUYASHA!" I wailed. I ran up to the side of the building, hoping I could jump after him. But Naraku stopped me. He grabbed onto my wrists and chuckled at my pathetic attempt to stop him.
"YOU BASTARD!" I screeched. He only laughed and held onto my wrists tighter.
"Just give it up Kagome. He's gone now."
The sky was light now with the sun being halfway up in the sky. The clouds turned a bright shade of pink and blue and it looked like a water color painting. My legs finally gave out and I slumped onto the ground and sobbed.
And then, it was quiet. The only sound was the helicopter flying away and the sound of cars honking blow.
Then suddenly, someone shouted. "Hey Naraku!" And then I heard the sound of a gun shot.
The sound of the gun going of rung in my ears. Bouncing around in my head like it was empty. I lifted my head slowly and saw a half demon Inuyasha standing by the edge of the building, panting, holding his gun and Naraku lying face down on the ground with blood starting to pool around his upper right shoulder.
"Didn't think about me climbing the side of the building did you, you son of a bitch? Who's worthless now? Don't you ever mess with my mate again. Do you hear me?" He yelled at Naraku's unmoving form.
Inuyasha glared dagger's at Naraku a second longer before his gaze flicked over to me. His eyes softened and he lowered the gun. "Are you alright?" He asked.
I whipped my tears away with my fist and stood up so I could run over into his arms. He wrapped his arms around my waist and nuzzled his face into the crook of my neck. I pressed my face into his chest and breathed in his scent and smiled in content.
It was over. It was really over.
"Don't you ever scare me like that again." I warned Inuyasha to which he chuckled at.
"Don't you ever scare me like that again." He warned back.
I looked up at him and he looked down at me and I smiled.
"Deal." We promised simultaneously.
xXx
It took the SWAT team almost fifteen minuets to find us. We were on top of the building, holding hands, kissing and watching the sun rise.
I asked if we should get Naraku to a doctor. Don't get me wrong I hopped he'd die, but I also hopped he would be locked up in a demon jail. But for that to happen, he would have to be alive. Naraku was still alive and breathing, but barley. When I asked Inuyasha if we should, he merely shrugged and said "Nah. He's a big boy. He can handle himself."
When the Police and detectives and possibly every government agency known to man arrived, we were already out of the building waiting for them on the front steps.
The police questioned us individually but, being the over protective mate that he was, Inuyasha was hesitant letting me go by myself. Once I told him it was necessary for us if we wanted to go home, he obliged.
They asked me everything.
They asked me where Naraku had taken me.
They asked me what Naraku had done and how he had accomplished it.
They asked me if Naraku had hurt my in any way. But I didn't have a satisfactory answer for that one. Naraku had taken a lot away from me and had stolen a part of my trust.
After we were finished talking to the detectives and police, they loaded Inuyasha and I into an ambulance and drove us to the nearest hospital. We kept saying we didn't need to go, but it was standard procedure they said. So, we let them. When we arrived at the hospital there were all of these news reporters there shoving their microphones into our faces trying to get our story. But after Inuyasha broke one of the reporter's microphones with his bare fist and yelled for them to 'leave us and me the hell alone' they practically ran away.
The nurses moved us into a private wing in the hospital away from newscasters and reporters so Inuyasha and I could have our privacy. They gave us hospital clothes to change into and Inuyasha groaned.
He said he wouldn't change into a dumb dress again and that he was just going to wear his boxers. And thats exactly what he did. Though he got all the nurses hot and bothered by his physique ( I don't blame them) they didn't argue. I put on the pale blue hospital gown and smirked at Inuyasha.
He caught me staring and I blushed and looked away and pretended I hadn't just been practically drooling at him. Though I heard him chuckling at me.
They then took our temperature's and our blood pressure and every other test under the sun.
And Inuyasha never left my side.
Even when the nurse asked me if I was uncomfortable having him in the room when I was being questioned if I was raped. I smiled and assured the nurse that I hadn't. Inuyasha held my hand and squeezed it reassuringly.
They offered me some pills that were in case Naraku had raped me and I wasn't telling them. They were to prevent unwanted pregnancies and they were optional.
I didn't take them. I didn't need them.
They used a black light on my clothes for sperm and everything and though I told them that nothing happened, they didn't believe me. And maybe if Inuyasha wasn't a supernatural human and he hadn't scaled the side of the skyscraper and saved me in time….that would have been a different story.
They moved onto my wrist next and told me that a small bone in my radius was broken and that I would need to wear a cast for a few weeks. I didn't argue. It hurt like a son of a bitch and I was grateful after they placed a neon pink cast on it because the pain went away.
Inuyasha was then examined by a demon specialist and he checked out to be just fine. His neck was a little bruised from being choked, and he had a few bruises all over his body.
I was resting in my hospital bed, waiting for the results on my unessisary MRI, when Inuyasha came waltzing in. His bed was across from mine but I lifted up my blankest and patted the spot next to me. He grinned deviously and slid in and wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his head on my neck.
"They called your mother." He muttered as he got comfortable.
I smiled and ran a hand through his hair, loving the feeling of it in between my finger's. "Good." I smiled. "I hope she's not worrying so much now."
He nodded in agreement. "Yeah. They said that they are going to fly us home tomorrow so you'll be able to see her then."
I looked at him in confusion. "Why tomorrow? Why not today?" I missed my family and wanted nothing more then to be in my mother's arms.
He shrugged. "Because the people in this hospital are a bunch of no nothings and they want to observe us for the night."
I scoffed at that and snuggled into Inuyasha's arms. "Well I guess thats okay. That means we have more time to be alone together." He smirked and he rubbed his nose on mine and gave me eskimo kisses.
That was when a nurse came walking in to check my temperature.
Again.
I smirked and turned back to Inuyasha after she was done. "Okay so maybe not alone, alone."
He laughed at that.
At lunchtime a nurse came in and informed us that Naraku had been admitted to a different hospital and that the gun wound to his chest hadn't killed him, only traumatized him. She said that the police had arrested him and charged him with kidnapping and attempted murder in the first degree and that he would have no possibility of parole.
I could hear Inuyasha's heartbeat and breathing return to normal and he finally relaxed. So did I. Inuyasha nuzzled into my hair and kissed my forehead. We were safe.
We spent the rest of the day and night in each other's arm's doing nothing but talking. We talked about what we were going to do when we got home and what we we missed.
But we mostly talked about how much we had missed each other. He told me how scared he was and I told him how scared I was. We talked and talked until we couldn't talk any more and we fell asleep in each other's arms.
I woke up to sun light peering down on my eyes. My eyes fluttered open and I sighed in content. Inuyasha's arms were wrapped protectively around my torso and little snores were coming out his mouth as he slept.
I smiled as he tightened his arms around me and smiled in his sleep. He was mine. He was really mine and I wasn't dreaming. Everything was falling into place and I was right where I belonged.
I giggled and smiled at how cute he was when he slept. His ears were turning and twitching at little noses that were coming from outside our room.
"Stop lookin' at me while I sleep wench." He said suddenly with his eyes still closed.
I smirked and he opened his eyes and he smiled. "Your so cute when you sleep."
He made a face. "No I am not."
"You are too." I argued.
"Am not."
"Are too."
"Am not."
"Are too."
"I am not."
I sat up on my elbow and stared at him. "Don't argue with me. You are cute when you sleep."
He stretched and placed both hands and turned around so he could lay on his back with behind his head. He stared up at the ceiling and I rested my arms on his stomach. "Well you snore when you sleep."
I scoffed. "I do not."
He laughed. "You do too."
"Do not."
"Do too."
"Do not."
"Do too."
"I do not!"
He sat up on his elbow and mimicked my position. "Don't argue with me. You do snore when you sleep." He said in a mock voice of mine.
I pushed his shoulder playfully. "Shut up!"
He laughed and got a cocky look on his face. "Make me."
I raised my eyebrow at his challenge. I then put on my best seductive face and ran my hands up his chest and grabbed onto his neck. His eyes widened as I lowered my lips onto his and kissed him as passionately as I could. He moaned a little and I laughed subconsciously.
I broke the kiss and sat back and stared at his flushed face. I smirked triumphantly and he cleared his throat and sat up. "Yeah, yeah okay. You win." He admitted.
I laughed and got out of bed so I could use the bathroom. After I was finished, and I came back out, Inuyasha and my breakfast were waiting for us. It was surprisingly good considering it was hospital food. It was a plate of eggs and bacon and a glass of some orange juice. I picked at it with a plastic fork and Inuyasha wolfed his down in a couple of bites.
After we finished we got dressed in our regular clothes and we got discharged from the hospital into the custody of the FBI. They drove us to the airport and even acted as our own personal body guards from the swarming news and news paper reporters that wanted a statement from Inuyasha and I.
Though I really didn't need a body guard. Inuyasha wasn't letting his hands off of me for a second and he would growl menacingly any time a reporter would shove a microphone into my face.
When our plane took off from JFK I was tired and Inuyasha told me to sleep and I didn't fight him on it. Inuyasha rapped his arms around me and I fell asleep on his chest almost instantly.
When I woke up, the flight was half over and Inuyasha had fallen asleep. I giggled softly at him and watched an english movie the flight was playing.
When the movie was over Inuyasha started to stir. He opened his eyes and his eyes became more focused. When he was more aware the tI had been watching him, he smiled. I loved it when he smiled.
"Morning."I whispered.
He leaned in close to my face and sighed in content. "Morning."
He kissed my lips tenderly and I returned the favor. It was amazing. I had always dreamed about having a person to love with all of my heart and Koga was closest thing I ever come to loving someone with my whole heart. But Inuyasha was my heart.
"How did you sleep?" I asked him quietly.
He made face. "My ears a bothering me but other then that, fine. How did you sleep?"
I shrugged. "Fine I guess."
He grinned and rubbed a hand over my face "Hungry?" He asked.
I nodded eagerly. "Very."
He chuckled and motioned over a flight attendant and ordered me some food which I tried getting Inuyasha to eat, but he said that I needed food and let me eat all of it.
We spent the rest of the flight joking with each other and watching the clouds fly by out the window of the airplane.
When the plane landed Inuyasha practically sprinted off the plane. He hated flying because of his ears. I smiled and grabbed his hand and let our hands intertwine. We walked toward the main lobby of the airport and were blinded by camera flashes and people yelling at us, trying to get our attention.
"KAGOME, KAGOME. Tell me, what exactly happened between you and Naraku? And what is your current status with Inuyasha?" A reporter shouted.
"INUYASHA! Tell us, how did you save Kagome?"
"INUYASHA! What are you going to do now?"
"KAGOME! Are you going to be present at Naraku's trial?"
I started walking faster, trying to get away from all the questions and the shouting an yelling. There were a few security guards and policemen who made the reporters leave us alone. Inuyasha squeezed onto my hand reassuringly and led me toward the front door the airport. The automatic door opened and revealed my whole family, smiling and crying tears of joy.
Mama stepped forward and opened her arms which I ran into. My mothers embrace was like a an oasis in the middle of a desert. It was cool, calm and familiar. I felt my mothers warm tears on my face as she cried with happiness.
"My baby. My baby." She kept saying, like she was afraid I was going to go away again.
After I was done hugging mom and gramps and even Souta, I saw Miroku and Sango waiting for me. Sango's eyes were red and her face was blotchy. Miroku's cheeks were red and I could tell he had been crying, but he denied it.
"We were so worried." Sango whispered as she clung onto me.
I cried softly into her shoulder. "I...missed you Sango."
"I missed you to." She cried.
After we were done hugging, we started laughing at how silly we looked. Mascara running down our faces, our noses red from cry in. We looked like crazy people. Miroku let me hug him and he didn't even touch or grab my butt.
What a gentlmen.
I guessed because Inuyasha would probably kill Miroku if he did.
We were getting ready to leave and go home when I saw Koga waiting for me patiently on the other side of the parking lot.
I turned to Inuyasha and he nodded his head and let me go talk to him.
"Hey." I said.
Koga smiled. "Hey."
"How are you?" I asked.
He shook his head. "I should be the one asking you how your doing."
"Im fine. Really." I insisted.
He grabbed onto both of my heads and looked into my eyes and I noticed he was starting to cry "Kagome Im so sorry for how I treated you. I was acting like a fucking jerk to you. I wouldn't have forgiven myself If you had been hurt."
I pulled him forward and wrapped my arms around him. He had to hunch down because I was shorter then him."Koga its ok. Its was a dumb and pathetic fight. I know you didn't really mean it."
"So you forgive me?" He asked into my shoulder.
I laughed softly. "Of course I do. Were friends, right?"
He pulled back from me, whipped away a stray tear and smiled. "The best."
After I was done saying goodbye to everyone, including Sango who didn't let get of my willingly, Inuyasha drove me home on the back of his motorcycle, which I never though Id be able to do again.
When he dropped me off at my front door he grabbed one of my hands and kissed it like an old romantic movie. "I love you." He whispered.
I blushed and stared up into his golden eyes. "I love you more."
He made a 'puh-lease' face. "Doubt it."
I giggled and opened the front door. "Ill see you soon?" I asked. But I already knew the answer.
"Of course you will."
He kissed my lips once more and then he left. Inuyasha had to go see Inuyasha and father and talk to the FBI who had more questions for him on Naraku.
"I LOVE YOU!" I yelled.
He smirked. "I LOVE YOU TOO!" I watched as he waved at me, revved his engine and took off down the street with his silver hair flying around behind him.
I walked into the house and sighed, grateful to be back in my own home and out of the disgusting clutches of Naraku.
I leaned up against the front door and smiled at the memory of Inuaysha kissing me the first time. I touched my lips as I could still feel his mouth on mine.
"He's going to merry me." I addmited to myself softly. Yeah. Being married to Inuyasha...
I liked the sound of that.
This chapter was loosely based around the song "You and I." I listened to it for probably half of the time I was writing this. One of my favorite Singers Michael Buble sung this at the concert I went to so its sort of special. xD
