Chapter 14: What you Forgot about Me
Inuyasha rushes Kagome into his bedroom, which is just down the hall from the Laser tag room that they played in. 'What happened to you?' He questions in thought. He comes to his bedroom door and manages to turn the doorknob and opens it. Inside his room is triple the size of Kagome's bedroom. He makes his way slowly to his king size bed. The bed however isn't neatly made, but he doesn't like it clean, well to himself. But for Kagome he carefully took off the laser tag gear vest, not to wake her up for her unconsciousness. He then lays her down and covers her with his red comforter. After that he sits on the edge of the side looking down on her, with comforting yet confusing look. "Did I miss something about her?" He quietly asks as well. He forgot to dim the lights. He finds his remote and turns them down dark enough for her to sleep through. He sets the remote back onto the night stand by the bed and watches Kagome throughout the time.
Kagome's dream
It's the Tokyo Fair and everyone who is anyone comes to enjoy themselves. Kagome is with her previous school friends, Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka. "Kagome you should be considering on who you want to have a date with." Eri tells her as they get something to drink from a nearby stand. "I know, but it's just hard for me to find the right guy to go out with. I mean think about what my father thought about the last guy who asked me out." Kagome states her previous experience, before her father passed away. "Good point, and I thought he was a nice guy to begin with." Yuka replies to her while taking a sip of her drink. "Tell me about it. My dad didn't seemed too thrill about that guy at all. He always said that if I wanted to date someone, he must give a lot of respect and he has to be one to two years older than me. He's two years older than my mom and he wants to keep that way." Kagome explains the details as they walk around the aisles. But suddenly the amount of people increases quickly and Kagome is separated for the girls. "Yuka, Eri, Ayumi?" She calls out and no reply came back to her. She sighs in disappointment. How could she lose them that easily? She walks around trying to find as soon as possible.
As she continues to walk alone on the streets that the fair is, she is ambushed by a cloaked figure who hit her from behind her head. She is knocked out cold and is tied up and gagged so no one can hear her. The figure puts her over his shoulder and walks back into the dark alley.
Inuyasha sees the sweat forming on Kagome's face. 'She's dreaming a nightmare. But…I must know what the nightmare is about.' He suggests as he continues on watching her.
Kagome comes to but finds herself blindfolded. She moves as well but finds her mouth gagged and is tied up to a chair as well as her ankles and wrists are tied up behind her. "I see you're awake my dear." A male voice gets her attention. He rips the blindfold off her face and Kagome opens her eyes to see a familiar face. "Hojo?" She muffles to him. Hojo grins as he walks up to her. He stands behind her, and rubs the back on his hand, "My, such ravishing beauty you are." He whispers in her ear, "And I was so close but if it weren't for your father to deject me in an instant, we'd have a nice life together." He adds to it. Kagome wanted to turn her head to get out of his disgusting contact, but feels another part of her body being touched, her exposed stomach, "Not to mention a family would've completed each other as well." He forgot to slip in another fact. All she can do is whimper in fear. "Hojo let me go now!" She angrily muffles at him. Hojo darkly chuckles as he comes in front of her, "I'm afraid I cannot do that. You see…" As he checks his fingers, flexing them, "You have something I want." He said as he narrows his eyes and slaps her in the face.
End of Kagome's Dream
Kagome jolts in Inuyasha's bed with enough sweat to soak herself in a bath tub and panting like crazy. "No!" She said half-consciously. Inuyasha immediately grabs her into his arms. "Shh, it's okay you just had a nightmare. You're safe now." He comforts her, even though she's sobbing into his shirt. All he can do now is to embrace her, to comfort her, and hope that he can heal her from her nightmare experience. He looks to his clock to see it close to 9:00 pm. 'I bet her mother is worried sick about her daughter.' He thought as well. Come to think of it, where did Kagome put her belongings anyway? He had to think thoroughly. It must've been in his car. He turns back to Kagome with her eyes looking back at him strangely. "What is it?" She asks him. Inuyasha quickly replies, "It seems we left our stuff back in my car. Do you want me to go get it?" He asks nicely in the end. "No don't leave me." She said back with her puffy eyes about to be full of tears again. He nods back and presses a button on his table by the back. "Yes Master Inuyasha?" Myoga asks at the other end. "Myoga, could you go to my car and grab Kagome's stuff and bring them here?" Inuyasha requests him. "On my way sir." Myoga replies. "You sure know how to control other servants here." Kagome comments his skills. Inuyasha chuckles with amusement. "It's all in the voice Kagome along with persuasion." He replies back and suddenly hears her stomach growl. Kagome blushes with embarrassment and holds the stomach. "Well it seems you missed dinner." Inuyasha states it, and his stomach growls, which leads to his embarrassment as well. "You did too." Kagome said back. The knocking on the door gets their attention. "Who is it?" Inuyasha ask the unexpected visitor. "Master, I've retrieve Kagome's belongings like you asked. Myoga said as he comes in and gives it to Kagome. "Thanks Myoga." Kagome shows her gratitude. Inuyasha looks at the look in her yes to see how happy she is with her stuff. "You're Welcome Miss. Higurashi." Myoga replies. "Kagome, just Kagome will do." Kagome suggests the servant. Inuyasha looks back to Myoga, "You may leave Myoga." He said to him. "Yes sir." Myoga said as he leaves the room.
After the door closes, Kagome goes into her purse and can see that her phone is dead. "Great well I guess I have to go home." She said as she gets herself ready and heads to the door. Inuyasha doesn't seem convinced, "What do you think you're doing?" He asks her. Kagome turns around, "What does it look like? I have to go home." She answers his question and heads to the garage. Inuyasha shows a weird look, but goes after her. Kagome runs down the stairs and comes to a halt to what's in front of her. It's Sesshomaru. "Oh Sorry. I was just leaving." She told him as she goes around him. After she disappears, Inuyasha comes to him, "Inuyasha, did the crazy room do a toll of her?" He asks him with slight smirk. Inuyasha glare, "Hell no, my friends can handle the pressure of it. Kagome just passed out that's all." He said as he goes after Kagome to the garage.
Kagome gets into the garage and gets into Inuyasha's car. She finds her cell phone charger in the center console and plug it into the cigarette lighter outlet. After plugged in, her cell shows two missed messages. She checks to see who called her. First is obviously her mother, but the second number is a number she has never seen before. She finds it sent her a voice mail. She dials her passcode and waits until to see who called, "Kagome, I know where you live and I'm not going to stop until I finish my mission." The male voice said in the voice mail. Kagome shudders as well as dropping her cell. Inuyasha heard it from the outside of the car and rushes to her side. "Kagome what happened?" He gets in to see her crying miserably. "It's…him. He's after me." She replies to him. Inuyasha can see that she's on her breaking point. "I'm going to take you home and we'll make sure your family's safe." He said as he starts the car and drive out of the garage and towards Kagome's house.
