�Are you sure he can do this?� Kagome asked in her usual
warm and soft voice; a slight pinkish blush adoring her features,
��ok, so bring in the slave!�
�
She wore a black lacy dress; its not a traditional clothing
intended to be worn by Royalty but she ordered it�its actually a fusion of a
fine Japanese kimono and a modern sexy outfit.
The dress revealed her upper thighs where she wore a golden
manacle type jewelry with embedded diamonds, her shoulders laid bare, the top
of her cleavage visible to his view and the laces exposed parts of her taut
stomach. She wore a little diamond tiara and used a little make up to add some
color to her lily white skin, her lips are colored with a little faint pink and
she darkened her eyes with a little black eye shadow to further enhance their
beauty.
She looked nothing short of some classical Goddess�but this
beauty is hauntingly magnificent.
�
�
The young man babbled in response; he continued to stare at
her since the first time he was brought here.
Although, one is not supposed to directly look into the eyes
of his king or queen as it�s a sign of open disrespect, and at times, such rash
actions are even punishable by execution.
But this boy here has completely forgotten that; it seemed
as if she can actually influence his mind�he cant even control himself.
He nodded and started to undress without any second thought
of his actions or any shame; he fidgeted with his clothing tearing it in his
hurry yet he is transfixed at his place looking at her with wide open eyes
shining with adoration�he cant breathe and is panting hard just by watching
her�
�
He is a very young human, one whose heart appeared not to be
yet poisoned by lust; its apparent from the way he gazed at her face not her
body.
�So, tonight just pretend,�
Kagome smiled kindly, pleased with his youthful physical
features,
��to be my lover!�

Eight years ago:

�Inu-yas-ha,� she whispered shivering in fear.
He didn�t look at her; his face is hidden behind his messy
bangs,
�You must be hungry�give me a couple of minutes, I will make
something for you,� he said as if nothing happened at all; his heart beat
wildly making thumping sounds behind his ears yet his voice is somehow
strangely smooth.
�W-what happened t-to you?� Kagome stuttered studying his
features as he staggered.
�
His body is covered in blood and dirt, his clothes are all
torn and hardly covering his flesh, his hair is wild; she can feel his flesh
wounds, his entire body is decorated with them�even a side of his face is
marred as a tiny bit of flesh is peeled from the corner of his lips and it hung
unceremoniously�chunks of dried blood plastering to his face�
How can anyone ever beat anybody so brutally?
She wondered.
�
She felt like throwing up, he smells of gore and filth; for
the first time, his smell offended her beyond control. She clutched her stomach
as a strong wave of nausea rolled off.
Perhaps sensing her feelings, he turned away and whispered,
�Don�t look now�I have to clean myself.�
�You aren�t going to die, are you?� she whispered in a tiny
voice almost afraid that he will kill her for injuring him like that or what if
he saw her with Sesshoumaru; her breathing increased, her little chest felt too
tight.
It shocked him too�she never speaks with him or even never
replies let alone ask him anything.
Does he really look
that terrible to scare her like that�and repulsive too??
To her surprise, he chuckled,
�Does it really matter anymore?�
And then, he left her alone�
�
�
�
She is so afraid and felt so vulnerable, he behaved so
coldly with her now and where is Sesshoumaru when she needs him the most?
She is too young to witness anyone�s death, what if he
dies�what would she do then�to whom would she go and ask for help?
However, instead of panicking, she is calm too; her heart
felt heavy and something is quite moved within her�
It feels like seeing something new�from the other side of the looking
glass�
�
�
�
�Please eat by yourself, I am in no position to feed you
tonight,� he spoke grimly.
The washing helped him a little, at least he doesn�t smell
putrid; he gently settled two bowls of plain coarse rice and a little warmed
vegetable soup in front of her.
She eyed the contents�normally, he would bring a bigger bowl
and would feed her from it and then, he himself would finish the rest from the
same bowl; this tiny one isn�t enough for both!
Understanding her thoughts, he said flatly,
�I am not hungry today�so go ahead and eat it by yourself.�
Deny as she might, she felt too hungry�nowadays somehow; she
has a better appetite and is eating almost everything he is offering her.
With unsure hands she took them.
�
�
�
He didn�t even sleep with her that night.
Winter is nearing soon and the weather is kind of chilly
today; it may be only her imagination but her thin futon isn�t keeping her body
warm.
But his body would warm hers every night, so today when he�s
away on the ground, she felt like missing his welcoming body.
But still, his hands disgusted her every time they marked
her body!
Somehow, she had probably dozed off a little so when she
woke it�s in the middle of the night; she felt colder than ever�
Should she ask him to warm her?
But how is she
supposed to say without making him seek his pleasure from her body?
�
The tension between them increased even more as he remained
deathly silent;
He probably knows how
much she is shivering�yet he�
�may be, he is asleep!
Unable to contain herself, Kagome threw off the sheets and
sat looking at her back to see him.
�
He too is shivering tightly hugging his knees to his heart; that
way, he too appeared a little vulnerable.
Kagome stood up. Her plain sleeping yukata hung on her sides
revealing all her charms since she had untied the obi before sleeping.
�He now takes care of
all her physical needs, so she stopped acting shy or bothered a long time ago.
He looked up at her and followed each of her steps as she
squat a little away from him; his eyes searching her face for any kind of
reason justifying her actions.
Her eyes are not looking at him.
�What do you want now?� he said emotionlessly.
�I can�t sleep,�
she intended to speak but somehow no words came out of her.
�It was a tough day for both of us�so you are probably
confused that�s why you can�t sleep,� he muttered, his eyes are cold; his lips
and hands shivered every now and then, and his face is ashen white.
He would gulp in air every now and then, trying his best to
fight the pain without showing her any more weakness.
�You are so angry and cruel to me�� her voice like that of a
terrified child�s, trailed off.
�
Her words rooted him back to reality; he gulped slowly
putting his arms around her and drawing her onto his lap.
She sat there like a baby without any protest.
�I am so sorry�I didn�t mean too,� he whispered,
�So many things happened in one day, I don�t know what to do
anymore��
�Its like we are made complete strangers in one night��
�
�
After some moments of cuddling and he gently rubbed her
thighs and back, her body warmed up a little�he felt like dozing off every now
and then.
She spoke again and this jolted him awake,
�Y-you are burning up
with fever�so hot.�
�Don�t worry, it�s not infectious�� he replied calmly, yet his
eyes somehow have started to sting hearing her sweet caring voice�after so
long;
Traitors!
�
�Then�are you not angry with me?� she asked, her voice
merely a whisper.
�Why would I be angry on you�you didn�t do anything wrong!�
he soothed her rubbing his chapped lips on her neck gently,
��back there, you only told what you felt�Sesshoumaru
manipulated you to say so, I know that�
I trust you at least that much!�
��I know why you said so!�
He continued,
�You needn�t worry about that�I am only a fool to think that
you would��
��ever feel anything for me!�
�Will you not hurt me then?� she whispered again.
He chuckled.
�What Kagome�You think I will beat you up, hit you or rape
you again?� his voice sarcastic.
Her breath hitched as her eyes watered in fear, she
involuntarily clutched his kimono.
�What would I get from all that�your scorn and hatred?�
��But all I ever wanted is your love�I want to say everything to you��
�You know nothing about rape,� he spoke in a harsh tone,
��rape is when you tear up the victims and torture them,
split open their parts, never do anything to pleasure or care for them, care
for only your own comfort and then, leave them to rot and die in pain��
She winced at the description, weeping and anxious.
��but I never did those to you!�
�I saw my own mother getting raped when I can barely walk�I
couldn�t even protect her,� he said suppressing his urge to tell more, for the
first time his voice is boyish and lost,
��and now, I failed you too.�
Kagome looked up at his face as a thin trail of tear rolled
along his cheek�
�
�
He must not weep like a pathetic child in front of her,
especially when she needs someone strong to comfort her�but he is probably going insane and that mask is
slipping away fast�
�I failed her�I dream of it every so often,� his body shook
as he felt more and more delirious,
��and now, you too have nightmares�you think of me only as a
monster��
��that�s why you hate me.�
�And, you shake in fear when you wake up to find your rapist
consoling you�it must be horrible!�
��and I am nothing but horrible and ugly for you!�
�
�
It�s been a long time since she felt sympathy for anyone,
she isn�t sure why but her hands involuntarily touched his face.
His lips parted and he whispered her name like a prayer, his
salvation.
�You are hurt�you are losing your mind now,� she spoke
gently though she felt empty inside.
�Why would you care�� he smiled a sad smile,
�To be honest, you are generous to a fault here�being
this kind to your rapist��
�
�
Bit by bit, he lost his composure�he shook as long preserved
tears rolled down his cheek,
�Why Kagome�why us�why are we complete strangers now?�
�I love you so much�I want to tell you so badly every time that it eats
up my insides��
�When would you
remember everything, Kagome?�
He embraced her tightly, rocking her in a desperate attempt
to soothe her even though Kagome became perfectly still and now, it�s he who is
all flustered and rambling unrecognizable words and sentences�
�How did this ever go so wrong?� he wept bitterly.
�
�
Slowly, all his words became meaningless to her ; her mind
clouded and she felt so light as if she isn�t even in her own body�
It made even lesser sense!
He kissed her face, temple, neck, everywhere other than her
lips.
�Believe me, Kagome I
always want to say lots of things to you�but whenever I am near you, it�s just
that my voice�
�believe me, every time my voice is gone!�
�
�
�Please, forgive me�� he muttered nuzzling into her chest
like a child.

�Inuyasha�what�s hap-� before she can complete the sentence,
his shaking form stilled slowly.
The hand gripping her waist loosened and the other one
slithered from her naked shoulders�his face slipped from between her flowing
breasts.
Warmth quickly retreated from his body�and he became cold
and still�curled up on the floor with his head on her nude lap.
�Kagome�� he whispered and collapsed.
�Nooooo�.� She screamed�
�
�
�My crazed heart�with its unending jealousy��

A/N: My exams are
over and I am back!!!
To I.am.Mandy: Thanks for being so warm and caring. This
chappie is dedicated to you; I am really encouraged to write & post this
one faster because of you�^_^
Thanks to my other reviewers too for sticking to this story�
Single quotations suggest thoughts (& aren�t said out
aloud) of the character. The 1^st part (Kagome at present) will
continue in next chapter.
Inuyasha kind of broke down emotionally (& I feel bad
for him, & worse for Kagome); I guess it�s only natural�everyone have their
own limitations.
Tell me what you guys think�all suggestions are welcome and
reviews are greatly appreciated!!
