Living With a Rapist

Let's Stay Together

Minutes became hours and the restless hours were spent gazing at the phone, then at the door, then at the phone again. Kouga was extremely anxious, Kagome hadn't returned home nor called him since she had left the house. He didn't know what to do. Should he call her just to check on her, should he wait just a little while longer? He was in a ball of confusion and worry. He picked up his house phone and dialed Kagome's number.

She giggled before she actually spoke. "Hello?"

"Kagome, where are you?"

She laughed some more. "At Inu-Yasha's. I'm having a good time."

Kouga sighed with relief, but he was still nervous. He didn't know Inu-Yasha well enough to judge him, but from what he did know, he knew that something might go wrong. But, he trusted her and decided to relax just a little bit. He told Kagome he loved her and ended the conversation. Kouga slouched back, resting his head on the back of the tan suede loveseat. She better come back., he thought as he sighed another heavy drawn out sigh before heading upstairs to his room.

--...--

After Kagome hung up the phone with Kouga, Inu-Yasha resumed to tickling Kagome with his fingers and whispering sweet nothings into her ear. From the fingers on her bare skin to the warm breath skimming across her ear, she couldn't contain herself. She couldn't stop laughing and was enjoying having her old Inu-Yasha back. She began to laugh so hard that, she ended up rolling off the couch and onto the floor. She tried to run away, but Inu-Yasha crawled towards her, capturing her underneath him, and continued the tickling toture. "Inu-Yasha...ha ha...stop...I can't...ha ha...stop..." He finally stopped tickling her, but he didn't get off of her. He had her lightly pinned to the ground and her wrists were in his hands. They looked at each other in silence while still on the ground. Kagome couldn't help, but stare into his eyes and love how enchanting they were. She aways loved his golden amber eyes. His eyes were one of the main things she really loved about Inu-Yasha. She hated it when he blinked because that was one split second she couldn't see his glowing orbs. She was stuck...just staring at him. All the while, Inu-Yasha was trying to control his growing erection. His body was getting hot and he didn't know if he could get if hardening member under control. Her body was enticing to him and he wanted to take her right then and there; drag her into his room and pound her into the bedsprings, but he knew he couldn't. That would have to wait later; he didn't want to scare her away. He would have to follow his plan step by step.

Inu-Yasha set Kagome free and sat down on the floor, his knee propped up so he could rest his arm on it. Kagome rested on her forearms, her back on the floor, and just gazed at Inu-Yasha, simply stuck. She sighed and after looking around, still confused, she got up to get some water. While she was getting some to water to calm herself down, Inu-Yasha was thinking of anything to make his super hard become an average soft. He began to think of guys and the ugliest women he've encountered and soon he was about as soft as the pillows on his bed. He sighed a great sigh of relief as Kagome came back from the kitchen. She sat down beside him, her back resting on the foot of the couch.

Inu-Yasha turned his head to Kagome and smiled. "You remember prom Kagome?"

Kagome smiled, a deep rosy red cascading over her cheeks as she began to remember that wonderful evening. "Yeah, it was really nice. Everything about that day was nice...I'd never forget that day." She slowly looked up at Inu-Yasha, who was still smiling contently.

"I remember that beautiful red dress you wore," he said as he leaned his head back as if seeing the dress in his head, "the dress went along perfect with my red and white. And Sango and Miroku wore...wore...what did they were?"

Kagome giggled at his ignorance. "Sango wore a pastel purple while Miroku wore a purple a few shades darker than her dress."

"Oh yeah. Remember the song we danced to Kagome? I still got the song of this CD in my room."

"Really?" Kagome was never aware of Inu-Yasha having "their song" on a CD. She loved that song. Everytime she heard it, it brought back a lot of great memories with Inu-Yasha. That song was everything. Inu-Yasha nodded and told her to wait there as he went upstairs to get it. Kagome stood up from the floor as she looked at the picture of them at the couples party. She smiled again. They were happy, they were smiling. Where did everything go wrong? What possesed Inu-Yasha to take on his raping ways? What happened to him while he was in New York? He was never like this before, it all started when he came back.

Inu-Yasha came downstairs with the CD and caught Kagome staring deep into the picture. He stood there for a while and watched her as she was, yet again, in a trance due to the picture. Kagome jiggled the painting off the wall and held it close to her chest as if holding a new puppy. She rocked her body side to side, "Why did things have to change? Everything was so perfect."

Inu-Yasha didn't answer...he couldn't. The raping just started. It made him feel dominant and in control. He got an adrenaline high everytime he did or even thought about it. Raping her...it filled him with this feeling that he never got from his father. And that feeling was love.

He walked down the remainder of the stairs and folded his arms with a smile. "Why do I always catch you gawking at that picture," Inu-Yasha said with a smile on his face, his hands intertwined behind his head.

Kagome snapped out of her daze and looked at Inu-Yasha. "Can I keep it?"

Inu-Yasha walked up to her and held her tight. "Why would you want to keep it? You said you were staying."

She sighed. "I know, but I just want to have it."

"Sure," he took the picture and set it down on the coffee table near the stereo. He lifted up the CD and waved it close to Kagome's face. "I got our song." He stopped their embrace to put the CD in the small silver stereo and turned it to number 5. Soon the song came on, slow and sweet. The horns began to blow as Inu-Yasha slowly walked towards Kagome and clasped her hands, gently rubbing the back of her hands with his thumbs. "May I have this dance?"

Kagome couldn't help, but smile as she nodded a yes while Al Green began to sing.

I, I'm so in love with you,

Whatever you want to do,

Is alright with me...

Inu-Yasha wrapped his arms around Kagome's waist while her arms gently hung over his shoulders. They swayed side to side to the smooth melody. Kagome rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. While her eyes were closed, she seen a dark room with spotlights that beamed onto the smooth and recently glossed wooden floor. The room was wonderfully decorated with floor banners streaming across every wall. At the main wall where there was the stage and a band playing Al Green's Let's Stay Together as best as they could, was their school banner with the class year on it. As they danced, Kagome could see Miroku and Sango dancing some feet away from them, but Kagome could still see Sango's bright smile.

Kagome rubbed Inu-Yasha's long silver gray hair as she continued to see the ball room.

Cause you make me feel so brand new,

And I want to spend my life with you...

She held onto his back tightly, not wanting to let him go. Inu-Yasha also did the same, but he held her around the waist. Kagome finally opened her eyes and looked at the smiling Inu-Yasha with his fangs glistening in the light. They held their gaze before Inu-Yasha leaned in and placed a soft subtle kiss on Kagome's lips.

Since, since we've been together,

Loving you forever,

Is what I need,

Let me be the one you come running to,

I'll never be untrue...

After the kiss, Inu-Yasha smiled some more, his eyelids low. Then, he began to lip sync the words to their song.

Let's, let's stay together,

Loving you whether, whether,

Times are good or bad, happy or sad,

He stopped lip syncing and leaned close to Kagome's ear, "Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad." Kagome couldn't help, but hold him closer and want to stay with him. They continued to glide across the floor like graceful ice-skaters as the song progressed. He kissed her warm cheek and inhaled slowly. He loved her smell, she always smelled so sweet. Soon, the song came to smooth stop, fading away. As the CD began to play another song, Inu-Yasha still didn't let go. Neither did Kagome. They were still in a trance. But soon after the other song began, Kagome's phone went off again, finally breaking the trance. Kagome fluttered her eyes and looked towards the phone that lay vibrating on the couch.

"Inu-Yasha, I should answer that."

"No...let it ring." She sided with him and let the phone continue to vibrate. They finally parted, but Inu-Yasha wanted a little more. He leaned his head in and kissed Kagome once more, cupping her face with his strong hands. Due to being caught off guard, Kagome stumbled back and landed on the couch. Inu-Yasha held her back up by her waist and gently placed her back against the wall near the staircase. He continued to place soft all over her and few idle kisses on her neck. But the lust-filled kisses were stopped by the vibrating phone. The phone began to shake and shiver waiting to be answered. Kagome decided to answer it this time and escaped Inu-Yasha's grasp. She scrambled towards the phone, it was Sango.

"Hey...hey Sango?"

"Hey Kagome, why didn't you answer the phone earlier?"

"Oh, me and Inu-Yasha were uh...um..."

Sango giggled heartedly, "Oh I understand, ha ha you don't have to explain." Sango was still ignorant to Inu-Yasha raping Kagome. "When are you coming back to work? You missed a lot of days and Onigumo is close to firing you."

Kagome sighed heavily as she rubbed the bridge of her nose with her thumb and index finger. "Can you check the schedule and see if I'm on their for tomorrow."

"Kagome, I don't have to look at the schedule to know that you need to be here tomorrow. As far as Onigumo is consurned, he just wants you to come in. Just come in tomorrow and I'll let him know."

"Thanks Sango, I'll call you later ok."

"Oh yes, I guess I interrupted a good thing, ha ha. See ya Kagome."

"Bye Sango." She ended the call with her friend and looked up at Inu-Yasha, "I have to go to work tomorrow."

"That's ok. And after work you can come back here. I'll have something special for us." Kagome smiled warmly and remembered that all of her things were at Kouga's still.

"But all of my things are at Kouga's." Inu-Yasha gave her a question mark look, not knowing Kouga by his name. "He's a friend that brought me over here to get my things." Inu-Yasha nodded and he soon remembered this Kouga character. He was Inu-Yasha's competitor to win Kagome. He knew that Kagome had more than just a friendship with him when they came over to get her things. Feh, no worry. Kagome willed be mine and there's nothing that...Kouga can do about it."We'll just go over there and get them then. It shouldn't be that big a deal." And with that word, Inu-Yasha ran upstairs, grabbed his car keys off of his wooden dresser and ran back downstairs. "Let's go." Kagome looked up, a bit startled by the sudden reaction. She obliged to go and they walked out of the white painted door and headed towards the red Sudan. Inu-Yasha became a gentleman as he open the car door for her. She smiled as she slipped into the car's leather interior. Inu-Yasha shut door for her, went to the driver's side and got in as well. The car was started and off the drove.

During the ride, Kagome couldn't help, but wonder about the awkwardness that would be doing on when she went to go retrieve some clothes to go back to the place she escaped from.

Kagasha: How was it guys was it good? I hope you guys liked it. If you haven't heard the song I used in the story, you should really check it out. It's a really nice slow, smooth song that warms my heart. Oh and if you're wondering about the raping and the lack of love part, usually rapists have a family or pride isaue that causes them to rape. And in this story, yes Inu-Yasha's father hates him. So with that little note, leave me a good 5 reviews and I'll give you guys another chappie. And please good people, NO FLAMES!! They're a waste of your time to write and my time to read. So, bye for now!!
