The Boyfriend

Chapter 10
InuYasha couldn�t sleep. He tossed and turned
all night, overwhelmed with the feeling that something was wrong with
Kagome. Finally, just before dawn, he jumped down out of his tree and
left everyone behind to go to the well. He didn�t hesitate, he
jumped through it and sprung out the moment his feet touched the
earth. He ran to the main house and leapt to Kagome�s window.
He stepped into the room and immediately knew he
was right to come. He could smell Kagome�s blood. He stepped over
to where she was sleeping and looked down at her, trying to see where
she was injured. Her eyes were puffy and red and as he watched, a
tear slid down her cheek. He smelled blood in her hair and noticed
that it was matted and filthy. Her pillow was wet from rainwater and
tears. There was a trace of brown against the pink and he recognized
the smell as blood. But there wasn�t much there, certainly not as
much as he was smelling. He started looking around her room and found
the pile of clothes. He lifted the soft blue skirt and saw the blood
dried all over it.
But there was another smell, too. InuYasha felt
the growl in his chest rise to his throat and he clutched the
material in anger, tearing holes in it with his claws. He turned back
to Kagome, his heart pounding in rage and pulled the blanket off of
her. There was a stain against her yellow pajamas. Mud at the knees,
blood� His vision swam red for a moment and he shook, trying not to
grab Kagome and shake her awake.
�Help me, InuYasha�� Kagome murmured in her
sleep, her tears coming faster. �Help�� His rage disappeared in
an instant and he knelt next to her and brushed the hair off her
cheek.
�Kagome?� he asked softly. Her eyes flew
open and she screamed, striking out at him. He fell back and
backpedaled until his shoulders hit the wall, but she kept screaming.
�Kagome!� he yelled back, terrified. He didn�t know what he had
done to provoke this kind of a reaction. She was now curled against
the wall, her knees against her chest and crying loudly.
�Don�t touch me!� she shouted, over and
over.
�I�m not!� InuYasha screamed over her cries.
�Kagome! What happened?� he yelled, but she just kept screaming.
Her door flew open and Kagome�s mother stood there, looking around
wildly.
�What did you do to her?� she shouted when her
eyes fell on InuYasha.
�Nothing!� InuYasha yelled. Kagome was now
just sobbing violently, clutching her blanket to her chest. �She
was having a nightmare and I just said her name to wake her up! Then
she went crazy!�
�Kagome!� Mrs. Higurashi yelled, sitting on
the bed next to her. She grabbed Kagome�s shoulders and the girl
screamed louder, shoving her away.
�No, no, no!� Kagome screamed.
�What�s happened to you,
Kagome?� Mrs. Higurashi asked, scooting back on the bed so she
wasn�t in the line of fire form Kagome�s flailing fists. �Go
back to bed, now, Souta!� she yelled and Souta, who had just
poked his head in, turned and ran away, not used to his mother
raising her voice to him.
�What did he do to you?� InuYasha growled.
�I�m going to fucking kill him.� Kagome�s cries finally
stopped and she met InuYasha�s eyes for a moment. He saw the slight
bruises on her face and his vision faded to red again. He turned to
the window, intent on searching out the boy who had hurt his Kagome
and kill him.
�Osuwari!� she yelled and he hit the ground.
He was now confused and in pain, but the bloodlust had faded
somewhat. �You� can�t� kill� him,� she sobbed, taking
great, gasping breaths. �He�s human� and this� isn�t the�
feudal era.�
�I�m calling the police,� Mrs. Higurashi
said, standing up.
�No, Mama, please,� Kagome said, reaching for
her mother�s arm. �Please, they�ll make me tell them what
happened and I don�t want to say, I don�t want to relive it, I
just want to forget.�
�You can�t do that, Kagome,� her mother
said. �You have to file a report against him. He�s not getting
away with� raping my little girl.� Mrs. Higurashi gripped the
door so hard her knuckles turned white.
�Either let her call these �police� or I�m
going to hunt him down and kill him,� InuYasha said.
�Why can�t everyone just
leave me alone?� Kagome whimpered. �I�ll be fine�� InuYasha
held out the skirt he found, letting it dangle from his claws,
realizing for the first time that he still had it. He was going to
use it to help track down that� bastard. Kagome choked on a
sob as it rose and his ears flattened against his head involuntarily.
�You don�t look like
you�re going to be fine,� he said, stepping towards her. She
shrunk away from him. �And now you�re afraid of me.� InuYasha
dropped the skirt. �This is my fault,� InuYasha thought.
�If I hadn�t pushed her away, she would never have been alone
with that fucker.� He walked over to the window.
�Please don�t leave,� Kagome said in a small
voice.
�I�m not going to,� he replied. �I�m not
ever leaving you again. It�s my fault that this happened, for not
coming back with you.�
�No, it�s my fault for dating him in the first
place. I knew there was something a little off about him. I just
never thought he would�� Kagome hiccoughed.
�Stop that, both of you,�
Mrs. Higurashi snapped angrily. �This was that boy�s fault and no
one else�s. When I met him, I never suspected he was capable of
such a thing, either.� InuYasha heard what she said, but he didn�t
stop blaming himself. He already blamed Yukio, but it was such a
horrible thing, blaming it on only one person didn�t seem enough.
It had to be his fault as well.
�The one thing I am certain of,� InuYasha
said, �Is that it�s not Kagome�s fault at all.� Kagome
sniffled loudly.
�You�re not mad at me?� Kagome asked. �You
looked so mad when I woke up��
�I�m mad at that asshole, stupid!� InuYasha
snapped.
�Watch your language!� Mrs. Higurashi shot
back, agitated.
�Sorry,� InuYasha said, contrite.
�I�m going to call the police now, Kagome,�
Mrs. Higurashi said, then stood and left the room. Kagome and
InuYasha sat in an uncomfortable silence for the next ten minutes.
Mrs. Higurashi poked her head in and told them the police were on
their way, and then left them to their silence. InuYasha looked
around for the hat he wore when he was out in public in Kagome�s
time, knowing it was important to her.
�Your sword,� she said, sniffling, when she
saw him put on the hat.
�What about it?� he asked.
�The police will get mad if they see you wearing
it,� Kagome explained. She looked so lost and fragile, so he pulled
Tetsusaiga off and looked around, trying to decide where to put it.
�In my drawer,� Kagome offered, pointing. He opened the top
drawer and blushed at the sight of her undergarments, quickly closing
it and opening the second, where he placed the katana. He could hear
Kagome�s heart racing like a rabbit�s and he wanted to comfort
her, but hadn�t forgotten the way she reacted when he tried to
touch her.
�If that jackass has
made it so I can never touch Kagome again, I don�t care what she
says, I�m going to find him and skin him alive,� he thought.
�Then I�m going to cut out his heart and feed it to him. Or
tear his head off and shove it up his ass.� InuYasha
entertained himself with thinking of the most gruesome things he
could do to Kagome�s attacker until he saw a strange vehicle park
at the bottom of the shrine�s stairs. Men in uniform walked up the
path and he growled without thinking.
�Are they here?� Kagome asked.
�Yeah,� InuYasha said, maintaining his post at
the window and glaring down at the �police.� He watched Kagome�s
mother open the door for them and he listened as they walked into the
shrine. He followed the sound of their footsteps and listened to
their voices as they talked to Mrs. Higurashi. Kagome was obviously
listening as well, curled against the wall, the blanket clutched
tight in her fingers. Her breathing was becoming shallower and more
rapid and he wanted to keep the men away from her, but knew that it
would do no good.
So he just glared at them as they entered the
room. One glared back at him, but the other shot a sympathetic smile
at Kagome. InuYasha hated the smiling one more immediately. How dare
he smile when Kagome was in pain? He bit back the growl that started
to rumble in his chest.
�You�re going to need to leave, sir,� the
smiling one said to him.
�Like hell I am,�
InuYasha thought.
�No, don�t make him go,� Kagome said in that
same high voice she had used the last time she thought he would
leave.
�I�m not going anywhere,� InuYasha said.
�Who are you?� the glaring officer asked.
�He�s my boyfriend,� Kagome said. Both men
turned to look at him. �Not the one that hurt me.�
�You sure have a lot of boyfriends for a girl
your age,� the angry officer commented. InuYasha stepped away from
the wall, balling his hand into a fist.
�Hayakawa, you can leave,� the smiling officer
said, no longer smiling. �Send in Ameda.�
�Yes, sir,� Hayakawa said, leaving. A minute
later, a younger man came in and stood stiffly by the door.
�Okay, Kagome-san, I need you to please tell me
what happened.� The smile was back in place. Kagome�s eyes darted
to InuYasha, then to the bed.
�I can leave for this if you want,� InuYasha
said, seeing the look and not particularly wanting to hear the
details.
�Please don�t,� Kagome said, holding out her
hand. Surprised, InuYasha cautiously stepped forward and took her
hand in his, sitting beside her at a careful distance. She released
his hand and took a deep breath. �Yukio was my boyfriend for the
last month and a half,� she started. �He had been� pressuring
me lately�� Kagome stared at the blanket in her hands. �I kept
telling him that I wasn�t ready and he always acted understanding.�
Kagome stopped talking long enough that the officer prodded her.
�So he was a good boyfriend, for the most part,�
he said. Kagome looked up.
�Yes. He was always very nice to me.� Kagome
looked out the window.
�You said his name was Yukio. Do you have a last
name for him?�
�Ryuuhyou,� Kagome answered.
�Can you please continue with your story? It�s
okay to take your time.�
�Well, I realized that I wanted to break up with
him. I didn�t want to do it over the phone or on the date�both
just seemed cruel,� she said. �So I called him and asked him to
meet me at the park where we walk sometimes after dates.�
�And you�ve never had sex with him before?�
the officer asked. Kagome shook her head.
�No, I was a virgin.� Her voice broke and her
grip on the blanket tightened. InuYasha felt the hat was too tight on
his ears, which were twitching like mad. These were questions he
wondered about, but had never wanted to ask. Now he had to hear it
all and he was tremendously uncomfortable, but not willing to leave
Kagome.
�Did he know about your other boyfriend?�
�He wasn�t my boyfriend then. We had talked
about becoming a couple. We�ve been friends a long time and� He
knew that we had a complicated relationship. But like I told him, I
wasn�t just leaving him because I wanted to go out with� my new
boyfriend. I was leaving him because I had no romantic feelings for
him. We had agreed to date to get to know each other, but it just
wasn�t working out.�
�Okay, so you went to the park to break up with
him.�
�Yes. I explained to him that it wasn�t
working out.�
�What did he say?�
�I told him I was sorry and he said, �No, you
aren�t, but you�re going to be,� and then he started talking
about his name.�
�I need to know his exact words, as closely as
you can remember,� The policeman said. Kagome repeated them and
InuYasha wanted to hunt Yukio even more. When she got to �or I can
fuck you� he actually stood up and walked to the window, shaking
with rage. Ameda watched him carefully and InuYasha controlled his
urge to put a hole in Kagome�s wall. Kagome had stopped speaking
and InuYasha turned and met her eyes. She quickly looked away and he
crossed the room to sit back where he was. She was crying and he had
the horrible feeling that it was his fault.
�I kept hoping someone
would hear me�� Kagome said. �I screamed for help so many
times�� InuYasha felt his talons slice the palm of his hand, but
he didn�t feel better. �I failed her. She expected me to save
her and I failed her. It�s my fault she was hurt. I�m a failure.�
He was so lost in his self-deprecation that he almost was blessed
with missing what Kagome said next. Unfortunately, there was nothing
he could do to drown out her words as she described Yukio�s
violation of her. How much it hurt. How helpless and alone she felt.
A tear pushed its way past InuYasha�s defenses and he cursed it. He
used to have perfect control over his tears, but Kagome had destroyed
it. The day he had thought he failed all his friends and lost them,
something inside of him had broken. Something he could never fix.
To punish himself, he listened very closely to
every word Kagome spoke, committing them to memory. He remembered
almost everything she said to him anyway, despite her protests that
he never listened to her. Some things just didn�t make sense to
him, so he didn�t respond. It didn�t mean he wasn�t listening.
He wanted to run away and not hear this so badly that he started
twitching. He forced himself to stop, afraid of upsetting Kagome
further. It was a very hard thing to hear, but he heard every word.
�All right, Kagome-san,� the officer said. �We
need to get you to a hospital so a doctor can examine you and a
photographer can document the injuries.� InuYasha didn�t like the
sound of that and apparently, neither did Kagome. She grabbed
InuYasha�s sleeve and he sat there and wondered what she wanted him
to do. He finally decided to stand up and grab her hand as he did it,
pulling her off the bed. Her hand was shaking as it wrapped tightly
around his, but she didn�t let go. She squeezed so tightly it was
painful, but he didn�t tell her to ease up.
�It�s not going to matter,� Kagome muttered
as they walked down the stairs.
�Huh?� InuYasha asked as quietly as Kagome had
commented.
�You saw the way that officer looked at me when
I said you were my boyfriend. They�re just going to make me look
like a tease.�
�What are you talking about? You�re covered in
bruises,� InuYasha whispered back. �And blood.�
�I was a virgin,� Kagome replied, sounding
very tired. �Of course there was blood.� InuYasha�s ears went
back so quickly his hat fell off. He caught it and adjusted it so
that it was holding his ears down again.
�If they don�t do anything, can I kill him
then?� InuYasha asked. Kagome looked at him in horror.
�How can you ask that? You can�t just kill
people�� Kagome�s voice dropped so low he could barely hear her
through the damn hat.
�Can I at least kick his ass?� InuYasha
whispered. Kagome was quiet for a long time as the officers made
travel arrangements with her mother. It was agreed that Kagome would
ride with Ameda and InuYasha. Her mother would ride with Hayakawa and
the senior officer.
�Yes,� Kagome whispered
back to InuYasha. Something that had been tight in his chest
loosened. Kagome had given him permission to hurt Yukio. Whatever it
was in his chest moved to his stomach as he realized what he just
thought. Kagome had given him permission to hurt Yukio. He had
known that she was upset, hurt and angry. Now he was worried that she
was broken. He knew that when he found that brat, he was going to
beat him within an inch of his life. He was still mad at himself for
being mad at Kagome for even a minute when he discovered the soiled
clothing. He had blamed her. He had. He knew that Kagome
wasn�t that kind of girl and he had still wondered. He knew with
certainty that he would have his chance with Yukio.
To be continued�
A/N: In the United States, Yukio would be going
to jail, no chance of getting off. However, they�re not in the US
and in Tokyo, sadly, the few little things like the fact that there
were no witnesses, Yukio is not older and Kagome�s second boyfriend
will be held against her. There�s still a mild chance she would
have won, but from the case files I read� her chances weren�t
very good. I hope that someday, this author�s note is rendered
obsolete and that when a woman is raped, one of the worst crimes that
can be committed against another person, no matter where she is, she
can find justice. And hopefully, someday, men won�t be embarrassed
to seek help when they are attacked and justice can be served for
them, as well.
