The Boyfriend
Chapter 11
“I’m going to stay in the warring states era
with InuYasha for the rest of the break, Mama,” Kagome said,
packing her bag full. It was a lot lighter without her schoolbooks,
but a little overstuffed with more clothing since she no longer had
her junior high uniform. Mrs. Higurashi looked at her daughter with
worry as she silently left the house, shying away from everyone.
Kagome hadn’t laughed or smiled since the day Yukio had attacked
her.
“Be careful,” Mrs. Higurashi said, smiling to
her daughter. Kagome nodded, but didn’t smile back. She walked
quietly out of the house and her mother spun on InuYasha, who was
lagging behind. “I’m worried about her,” she said, grabbing the
sleeve of his haori.
“So am I,” InuYasha responded. “But I don’t
know what to do to help her,” he admitted.
“Please, keep her safe,” she whispered.
InuYasha looked down at her and nodded.
“I will,” he assured her. “Where does Yukio
live?” Mrs. Higurashi stared at him.
“I’ve never been there,” she answered.
“So you don’t know?”
“Why are you asking?”
“You heard those ‘police’ people. They’re
not going to do anything for Kagome. So I am.” He met her eyes and
saw them grow hard. She nodded.
“I’ll find out,” Mrs. Higurashi whispered.
“InuYasha?” Kagome called, coming back in the
house and looking frightened. “Are you coming?”
“Yes,” he said, quickly stepping up next to
her. Her hand latched onto his and he squeezed it lightly. The
pressure made her pull away again and he let her. She seemed so
confused now and he kept trying to figure out what he was supposed to
do. She would reach for him, but if he reached back at all, she
pulled away. She watched his every move and every now and then, she
flinched and looked away. He tried to remember, each time, what it
was that he was doing when she became afraid. But he couldn’t find
a pattern. So he decided to let her lead and the rest of the time, he
just tried to do everything like he had before.
He hated that they had just finally made progress
with their relationship and that little shit had ruined it. No matter
how much it had hurt him that Kagome had dated the boy, what had
happened to her was far beyond anything he would have wished on her.
In fact, he blamed himself even more because he had driven her to
date him. If he had just claimed her as his own long before, none of
this would have happened. There was now timidity in Kagome that had
never been there. She didn’t take long steps, kept her arms close
to her sides and he had to fight the urge to grab her and jump out of
the well when she was climbing the vines on the inside of it.
He knew if he tried to do that, she would fall
into hysterics again, so he jumped past her and kept everyone away
from the well while she slowly climbed. He had come back the night
before while she slept and told everyone that she had been attacked
and to give her distance. He refused to speak the nature of the
attack, but told them it had been that boy and they seemed to know.
He was sure his near-constant growling had been a tip-off but he
couldn’t stop himself. He felt so angry and helpless. Shippo was
the only one who didn’t seem to catch on to what had happened and
no one bothered to explain it to him, although InuYasha told him he’d
rip his tail off if he asked Kagome about the attack or even
mentioned it.
When Kagome reached the top of the well, InuYasha
held out his hand, hoping she would take it. She looked at it in fear
for a moment, then closed her eyes and reached for him. He didn’t
pull when her hand closed in his, but let her. She shook a little
once she was on the ground and he heard Miroku’s soft curse. He
shot the monk a look that told him to shut up, but Miroku only glared
back, looking just as angry as the hanyo felt. Kagome’s face was
covered in terrible bruises now and her throat was dotted with more,
several of which contained scratches from Yukio’s fingernails.
InuYasha was used to the sight now, no matter how
angry it made him, but he had barely warned the others. Kagome looked
at them nervously and InuYasha glared, daring any of them to defy him
and mention what he had forbidden.
“Welcome back, Kagome,” Sango said, smiling.
Kagome nodded to her, her lips twitching slightly, but managing to
miss their objective. Miroku turned away and walked off, his posture
angry. Kagome stepped in towards InuYasha, shooting a frightened
glance at the monk.
“Is he mad at me?” she asked softly. Miroku
stopped and turned around, shock on his face.
“No!” he said quickly. “InuYasha told us you
had been attacked,” he said, ignoring the growl that immediately
filled the air. “I am angry at your attacker and frustrated that we
were not there to protect you.”
“How much did he say?” Kagome asked.
“Not enough!” Shippo said angrily. “Just
that some human boy beat you up.” Kagome sighed and InuYasha felt
the tension leave her. She stepped back away from him and he missed
the feel of her pressed against him, but didn’t move from his
position. It was too much to hope for that they could all just do as
he told them.
“Yeah,” Kagome said. “He was really mad at
me for breaking up with him,” she said. “Do I really look that
bad?” Sango bit her lip and Miroku looked away. Even Shippo didn’t
say anything. “I see.” Kagome bounced her backpack higher on her
shoulders and started walking in the direction they were last headed.
InuYasha followed behind her, making sure to stomp on Miroku’s foot
as he went by. Miroku yelled at him, but he ignored him. He just
hoped that Kagome recovered soon.
