The Boyfriend

Chapter 19
Kagome looked down into Tama�s honey brown eyes
as she carefully fed her the way the nurse had shown her how. She was
bottle-feeding for now to prevent introducing too many germs to her
daughter. The tiny baby was still hooked up to machines, but she was
able to swallow on her own and her lungs were finally functioning on
their own. The doctors had to keep a close eye on her, since she had
already had one failure with her breathing and had to be put back on
the machine for a while, but she had made it three whole days this
time on her own.
InuYasha watched from the other side of the glass.
Kagome smiled up at him and he smiled back reassuringly. Kagome
looked back down at Tama and watched her teeny lips moving against
the nipple of the bottle. She felt serene and happy, just holding her
baby. She couldn�t relax, because she was nervous about holding
her, afraid she�d drop her or pull on her wires or something if she
wasn�t super-careful. InuYasha wouldn�t even try, he was so
afraid of hurting her.
�When she�s bigger,� he said, each time they
visited. She was gaining weight in a good way and was up to five
pounds. In just a few weeks, she would be going home with Kagome. Her
mother agreed to watch Tama while Kagome was at school and Kagome had
passed two of her makeup tests already. They went through the well
each day to get news, but since InuYasha didn�t intend to leave
Kagome alone again, he came right back through with her so she could
go to cram school and learn what she needed to make up the work she
had missed all year.
Kagome�s depression came and went and her mother
told her that it was the same for her, right after each of her
children were born. Souta had done as he promised and whenever he
would have cried in his room, he had gone to Kagome to talk instead.
A few times, he had cried on her shoulder, but she didn�t mind. She
was just glad he was finally talking about it. It was hard for her to
hear, but she felt so bad that he had heard her that she forced
herself to talk about it with him. Somehow, it got easier to talk
about that way and a part of her was able to let it go.
Kagome decided to start seeing a counselor when
she realized that talking was helping and despite having InuYasha in
the room when she had to talk to the police, she couldn�t bring it
up with him again. It was too embarrassing for her. So she had seen a
psychologist, once. It had helped a little and she told Souta he
should try it. He said that he preferred to talk to her and wouldn�t
be comfortable telling a stranger about her, so she played counselor
for him.
Tama finally stopped suckling and fell asleep and
Kagome knew it was time to leave. She handed the baby back to the
nurse, sadly, and watched as she was put in the incubator. Kagome
smiled and talked to her daughter a little bit, then turned and left.
She walked silently down the hallway with InuYasha until they stepped
outside the hospital doors. They made it halfway to the bus stop
before she realized that she left her bag behind.
�Oh, no!� Kagome said, cursing herself. �I
forgot my backpack!�
�I�ll go get it, just wait here,� InuYasha
said, turning around.
�Are you sure?� Kagome asked, a little
nervous.
�Yeah, it�ll only take me a minute. You can
finish going to the bus stop if you want,� he said. She nodded and
he turned and hopped out of sight within moments. She turned to go to
the bus stop and only made it a few steps before she felt someone too
close behind her. She started to turn and then she was grabbed and
pulled off the street into an alley. Kagome tried to scream, but a
hand clamped over her mouth in such a familiar way that she froze on
the spot. She was spun around while she was still immobilized by
terror and she ended up staring into a face full of black hair and a
black baseball cap.
�Yukio,� she gasped, not needing to see his
face to know who it was. Still, he slowly lifted the hat off and
revealed his eyes�the same eyes that haunted her nightmares so very
often. Everything felt foggy, her body didn�t seem to want to obey
her commands to run and there was an ache building in her chest.
Memories of being pinned down, helpless and in pain, flashed through
her mind so fast she felt as though she was falling. The darkness was
closing in as the daylight was robbed from her and she felt like she
was going to be sick.
�Hello, Kagome,� he replied, his voice calm
and cold, a dagger to her heart. �No more �Yuki-kun�? Decided
to drop the sweet act, you little bitch?� he hissed, bringing his
face close to hers. She could smell his breath, rank with his last
meal, suffocating her. Kagome�s heart was slamming into her chest;
she felt like she couldn�t breathe and everything seemed a little
off, like a dream. She could almost step out of her body and watch
from above, rather than being trapped by the arms on either side of
her head. But she knew this wasn�t a dream. She had never seen him
bearing the scar that InuYasha had branded him with and it was clear
and pale on his forehead. It wasn�t the thin kanji she wrote in at
school, but more like brush kanji, thickening and thinning as was
appropriate to the two characters.
�W-w-what do you want?� Kagome stammered,
trying to clear her mind. It was screaming at her that she should
hide, run, get away; but it wasn�t supplying any way to do
so. Time seemed to have stopped, leaving her suspended in hell with
the boy that haunted her.
�I wanted you to see what that little fuck of a
boyfriend you had did to me. I wanted to see how you were doing. You
do look like shit,� he said softly. �I suppose that�s my fault.
Do I come to you at night, Kagome? Do you scream for me in your
dreams?� he laughed lowly.
�Get away from me,� she said, her voice no
longer shaking. She just wanted to get away. Get away, get away; get
away!
�Make me. Oh, that�s right, you can�t. Poor
weak little Kagome,� Yukio said, tracing a finger down her cheek.
Kagome finally came to her senses and put her hands on Yukio�s
shoulder, then brought her knee up as hard as she could into his
groin. He yelled and fell to his knees and she ran for it. She ran
straight into InuYasha as she reached the street. He grabbed her
shoulders and she went still, seeing his nose twitch. A loud growl
filled the street a moment later and his hat twitched on top of his
head.
�Where is he? He touched you. I�m going
to��
�No, InuYasha, please, I just want to go home.
Please, I want to leave.� Kagome was starting to shake and
InuYasha stopped growling long enough to look down at her. He saw the
raw pain and fear in her eyes and put the bag on her shoulders, then
grabbed her hand and led her away. He wasn�t going to make her
stand there in fear� not when he could just track the boy later.
�Thank you,� she whispered as the bus stop came into view.
�Did he hurt you?� InuYasha asked as they
found a seat on the bus and sat down.
�Not physically,� Kagome said. �He just
grabbed me and started taunting me. I� I kneed him in the groin and
ran,� she said. InuYasha�s hat twitched and his eyebrows went up.
�The last time, I couldn�t get a single attack to connect. I
guess� I guess he wasn�t fighting this time. I think he just
wanted to make me afraid.�
�Looks like he got what he wanted,� InuYasha
said. Kagome frowned and looked up at him. The adrenaline that had
her shaking shifted again at his words, echoing Yukio�s
proclamation so many months ago through her mind as clear as though
the memory were only days old.
�That son of a bitch,� she hissed, a fine, hot
anger settling in. A woman nearby shot her a reproving look, but she
didn�t notice. �I� I�m not going to� let him have what he
wants again!� InuYasha nodded slightly. �I� I hate him,�
Kagome managed to say.
�Me, too. I just wish you�d let me kill him,�
InuYasha agreed. The woman who had glared at Kagome now shot InuYasha
an apprehensive look and looked around the bus.
�You can�t just go around killing people,�
Kagome said with a sigh.
�I know,� InuYasha said. Kagome looked over at
him in surprise. �I remembered what it felt like when I killed
those men that one time�� This time, the woman stood up and
quickly hurried down the bus, deciding that it was better to stand
than sit next to them. �I don�t ever want to feel like that
again. But� I won�t ever forgive him. I really hate him and I
want him to suffer�� Kagome leaned against his shoulder.
�I think he has been,� Kagome said softly.
InuYasha looked down at her, but she didn�t meet his gaze. �His
eyes were shadowed, he looked thinner� He said I look like� that
I look bad, but� he looked horrible himself.� Kagome felt a
certain amount of satisfaction as she recalled the unhealthy pallor
of his skin.
�Good,� InuYasha said with conviction. Kagome
couldn�t help but agree with him. After all, Yukio had brought it
on himself.
To be continued�
Thank you so
much to all my reviewers, you have no idea how much it means to me to
know what people think of my stories! I'm always writing one thing or
another and it's discouraging when writing long things if I don't have
readers, which is why I post in chapters. This story has been updated
much faster than it's been written and I'm trying to keep ahead of
myself in chapters, so if I'm struck with a particularly nasty case of
writer's block, it won't affect your updates. Unfortunately, losing my
home is a huge blow and that's why the updates are slowing down. I have
to try to find a new place to live and balance real life and writing.
Beleive me, I'd much rather be writing! So just hang in there and bear
with me, I really appreciate your support, everyone! Also a special thanks
to whoever was my 600th reviewer! ^_^ --Xak
