Chapter 11: Escape

Kagome sighed in bliss as she laid down on her cot for the first time in weeks.

"What, no cells today? No cages?" Inuyasha asked as he performed his upside down sit-ups.

"I'm giving myself a break." she said smiling. "I'll be back to work tomorrow but I'm enjoying this luxury for now."

Inuyasha growled and dropped down from the ceiling. "You're going to kill yourself!"

"I am not." she said stretching her back. Funny, when she got here this cot was like sleeping on rocks but now it was like a little slice of heaven.

"You're going crazy." Inuyasha continued. "If you keep this up they're going to put you in solitary!"

"I don't care."

"I do!"

Kagome sat up and looked at him. "Why? It doesn't matter."

"It does matter." he argued. "I'm not going to let you kill yourself. Especially not over something as stupid as these damn guards!"

"Inuyasha."

"No." he shut her up. "You know what, I'm going to show you something. Get ready for bed."

"Why?"

"So the guards wont suspect anything." Inuyasha said as he ripped his own clothes off.

Strange, Kagome thought as she blushed. She had gotten so used to hell but a shirtless Inuyasha still made her turn her head in embarrassment.

She did as she was told and laid down. Inuyasha turned off the light and they lay there in the darkness, waiting.

About half an hour later, a guard did his routine check to make sure everyone was in bed.

The second the door shut, Inuyasha was up and piling his clothes under his blanket.

"What are you doing?" Kagome whispered sitting up.

"You do it too." Inuyasha said without looking at her.

Kagome rolled her eyes but did as she was told until it looked, in the darkness at least, like they were still in their beds.

He went to the window and opened it then looked around outside.

"What-?"

She didn't finish her sentence because Inuyasha climbed out the window and dropped three stories to the ground,

Kagome ran to the window and looked down but he had landed fine and was looking up at her his arms open.

'Jump' he mouthed at her.

She shook her head but he mouthed 'Now!'.

Kagome sighed, said a quick prayer, then crawled out the window and fell down, trying not to scream.

For a second pure terror raced through her system, then a pair of strong, gentle arms were wrapped around her and she was lowered gently to the ground.

'Let's go' he mouthed and took her hand. He led her around the dorm, keeping along the wall and staying bent over at the waist to avoid being seen.

Kagome followed him without much choice because he was still pulling on her hand.

He led her around the dorm and across a very small stretch of the yard that was in the shadows.

Suddenly he stopped and lowered himself to the ground. "Get on." He whispered nearly as soft as the wind.

Sighing, she did as he told and wrapped her arms around his neck as he stood up, his hands securing her on his back.

He ran across the small piece of yard then leaped clear over the barbed wire fence.

Kagome looked behind her at the fence as he ran through the surrounding woods without a single guard even glimpsing them.

A few minutes later when the school had faded from sight he set her down.

She looked around in amazement. "What? Did you just?"

"I can escape whenever I want." Inuyasha said looking down at her. "Most of us can't but I can."

"Then why do you stay?" Kagome asked, confused. "Why does anyone stay if demons can just leap the fence like that?"

"Because if we leave everyone else gets punished." Inuyasha said. "If even one of us leaves every one else pays for it back in hell."

Kagome blinked. "Okay. I understand that but what does that have to do with me?"

"The reason I don't leave is because I care about what happens to my friends." Inuyasha said placing his hand on her cheek. "And I care what happens to you. Please, Kagome. Stop doing this to yourself."

Kagome sighed. "Inuyasha, I can't be like you guys. I can't live here pretending what's happening isn't happening. And it's even worse when I think of how I shouldn't even be here!"

"Exactly my point." Inuyasha said. "Behave. Just do as they say. That appeal you said your mom is trying to get will go through better if the guards say you've been good."

"They wouldn't say that even if I was good." Kagome said bitterly. "I'll probably be here until I graduate and until then I'm going to cause as much trouble as possible."

"Don't." Inuyasha begged. "Please, just..." He sighed in frustration. "Look, we're out. You can leave. Go back to the city."

"No." Kagome said her eyebrows furrowing. "I'm not leaving. You just said everyone else pays for it if some one leaves."

"And I would rather suffer than watch you suffer." Inuyasha said desperately.

"Why?" she asked. "Why would you let everyone else back there pay for me? Why am I special?"

"Because...!" He looked around trying to find the right the right words. "You...You're different. You're one of those girls with class and...and you don't belong here anyway."

Kagome smiled and hugged him. "Thank you. But I would rather be in solitary than let others pay for my mistakes."

"Damn you." Inuyasha said without any real heat. "Why wont you stop, Kagome? Why?"

"Because I can't let them win." Kagome spoke into his chest. "I can't let them have power over me."

"Kagome."

Inuyasha shook his head. "You're so damn stubborn."

She leaned back and smiled up at him. "I-"

She didn't finish her sentence because Inuyasha had taken her lips and thrust his tongue into her mouth.

Kagome gasped as he pulled her close, ravaging her mouth.

She had never had a boyfriend though before she got sent here a friend of hers named Hojo had expressed interest. But they never got together and Kagome had never experienced a kiss before.

And though she had never kissed him, she knew Hojo wouldn't kiss her like this. Demanding, fierce, dominating, slightly dark. Hojo was far too sweet to kiss her so hard her legs melted. Nor would he have held her so close that when her knees gave out from the power of the kiss he would have been able to hold her up with his strong arms.

Neither would he have pushed her against a tree so he could have better access to her mouth. His kisses would have been breif sweet and shy.

But Inuyasha was definitely not Hojo. Inuyasha tilted his head so he could drive his tongue in deeper, he thrust his hand into her hair so he could move her head where he wanted it, he grunted in pleasure when she moaned.

When he finally pulled back his golden eyes were dark. Kagome was breathing hard and her face was flushed and though the night chill had brought goosebumps to her skin her entire body was heated.

"We need to get back before they notice we're gone." he said his voice husky.

Kagome nodded but she kept her hands on his shoulders.

Inuyasha looked back the way the had come, looked down at her, looked back then smirked. "A few more minutes wont hurt."

Kagome was only slightly more prepared for this kiss. He sucked her bottom lip as he lifted her leg onto his waist. Kagome didn't know how to react but when her tongue started tracing his fangs he growled deep in his throat and pushed her harder against the tree.

The rough bark was biting her skin through the flimsy material she wore to bed but she barely noticed it because Inuyasha was demanding her attention elsewhere and she couldn't help but respond. She couldn't stop her legs from wrapping themselves around his waist when he lifted the other one up and she couldn't keep herself from making the tiny moans and gasps from escaping her throat.

Inuyasha couldn't control the low growl rubbling in his chest either. It happened whenever he felt this damn good. Kagome tasted like heaven. Like a good girl. There was a very different taste from the bad girls he was used to and her. It was a very nice change. And if she kept making those sexy little sounds he wouldn't be able to stop.

"Inu...yasha?' she said around his lips.

"Yeah?" he breathed as he kissed his was down her face and onto her neck.

"Shouldn't...gasp...we be...kami...getting..b..back?" She bit her lip as he started sucking on her skin.

"Yeah." he said as he stopped sucking and began licking.

"Inuyasha!" she moaned as he bit her ear.

"We need to go." Inuyasha said leaning back, he was panting as well now. "I don't have any condoms on me and I'm not risking getting you pregnant and them killing the baby."

Saying that seemed to bring them both back to their senses and Kagome dropped her legs.

"Let's go back." she agreed.

He looked back then kissed her one more time, a quick meeting of lips. "Please, stop doing these things?"

Kagome smiled though she was still breathless. "Are you trying to use sex to control me?"

"Depends." he said burrying his head in her neck and sucking the skin there again. "Is it working?"

"No but you can keep trying." She said threading her fingers in his.

He laughed and leaned back. "Let's go."
