Chapter
Two: Awakening
As Kagome entered the
woods and left her friends and new companions behind her, she finally allowed
her shoulders to slump and her head to lull forward. Her body was utterly exhausted;
her mind was buzzing with questions and unfinished thoughts; while her soul
felt almost completely whole. She could not remember ever feeling this whole.
It made her feel as though she had taken in more than just the bit of soul that
Kikyo had used to sustain herself in this realm. Yet along with this feeling
came feelings of incompleteness, and darkness� Deciding not to ponder it until
she had a good night sleep she continued on her way.
She focused on the
path ahead of her, looking out for tree roots, rocks and dips on the path that
may send her flying. She looked up at the clearing ahead and saw it was still a
good way away. Just then her foot hit a tree root and sent her skidding across
the path, scraping her hands and knees as she reached them forwards to prevent
her face from hitting the ground.
�Ouch! What the heck��
She said out loud while twisting around the look behind her. She looked to the
path and saw the root that had tripped her. �Humph, where the hell did that
come from, I coulda sworn there was nothing in my way when I looked ahead.�
Just then she felt something brush across her hand and snatched it away from
the spot it was resting while whipping her head around to see what it was. ��a
root?� She felt movement by her foot and tried to yank away from it but it was
too late. She watched in horror as she tried to kick her foot loose of the root
that was quickly wrapping itself around her ankle. Letting out a strangled yelp
she started to panic. Opening her mouth to scream she instead choked as dirt
was thrown up in her face, forcing her to close her mouth and shut her eyes
tightly. �What is this!? Oh god, someone help me!� She screamed in her head.
But nothing happened. Her mind had frozen in horror and only subconsciously
could she feel that the rest of her limbs had been restrained and she was now
being carried away.
It seemed as though
she were being carried along for hours. Then all of a sudden she felt what felt
like a root sliding along her legs and up her thighs, almost as though it were
caressing her. This sent her mind reeling to a new level of panic. What felt
like other tree roots slowly start to slide across her body, one around her
neck, another under her t-shirt rubbing roughly across her soft flesh, while
the other one on her legs was slowly making its� way under her skirt. �OH MY
GOD, NO!� she screamed in her head. She tried to thrash away from the offending
tree roots but found she could not. She felt something soft brush across her
face and release a mist of some sort. Immediately she felt herself go limp. She
could feel herself falling within her self, crying out in fear and panic as she
watched the world go black around her. �INUYASHHHAAA!� She screamed within her
self with all her might and for the first time since she tripped she felt her
miko powers spring to life. Instantly her aura reached out for Inuyashas� and
wrapped itself around his flooding him with her fear and panic. The last things
she felt before she was completely enveloped in darkness was the root sliding up
her thigh and brushing back and forth against her maiden hood, while the other
root under her shirt slid up and rolled across her breasts. A sweep of miko
power blew out of her and knocked the offending limbs off of her.
The tree sprite howled
in rage as he felt his limbs being burned and thrown aside. He whipped towards
her and thrashed out at her, only to be blocked by a shinning soft yellow
barrier. �You miko bitch!� he howled at her. He picked up sticks and rocks and
hurled them at the barrier. �I will have you, you will be mine!� He screamed in
rage as he continued to thrash the barrier with whatever he could, occasionally
throwing himself at her barrier and being singed and repelled. An hour later he
was still pacing around her and occasionally throwing a pebble or twig at her
to see if the barrier was still there.
Inuyasha had just
finished off dinner with Sesshomaru and Rin. He had to hand it to Sesshomaru,
his cook sure did know how to make sushi. After finishing off his third dish of
sushi, he had helped himself to a few cups of sake. Now feeling pleasantly full
and slightly light headed from the alcohol, Inuyasha leaned back in his seat
and watched as the maids cleaned the table and listened to Rin as she rattled
on about her day. Inuyasha vaguely noted that Rins hair style had improved over
the years, instead of her lopsided pony tail, it was now sitting high and
centered to the back of her head, with her hair falling past her shoulders to
mid chest. He smiled inwardly. �Sesshoarmu is definitely going to have his hands
full with her in a few years. If she keeps up with her growth, her beauty will
be known throughout the land.� He thought to himself.
�What are you smirking
at?� demanded Shesshomaru, as he looked at Inuyasha who was looking at Rin.
Inuyasha looked at Sesshomaru
with raised eyebrows, he was not aware that Sesshomaru had been watching him
and Rin. �keh, I was just noting that you are going to have your hands full
from now on.� Inuyasha said with a side glance at Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru glowered
while looking at Inuyasha. �Rin, return to your room, Yumi will be in shortly
to go over your studies with you.� He ordered while still looking at Inuyasha.
�Yes, my Lord.� Rin
responded and quickly got up to leave for her room.
When she left the room
Sesshomaru addressed Inuyasha. �Indeed, I have already received requests from
various Lords requesting the right to mate with Rin.�
Inuyasha spit out the
sake he had just tipped into his mouth and sputtered. �What!? Rin is only in
her mid teens!.� He said exasperatedly.
�Hnnn, that is why
this Sesshomaru has rejected all advances towards his Rin.� Sesshomaru replied.
It was silent for a
few moments until Inuyasha decided to broach another topic all together. He
glanced to Sesshomaru and saw him raise an eyebrow in question. �I, I am not
sure how to correctly perform the mating ritual�� Inuyasha said quietly.
Sesshomau looked at
Inuyasha. �Why does he inform this Sesshomau of such? Does he think this
Sesshomau would care?� He watched as Inuyasha fidgeted in his seat.
��Oh course,� Sesshomaru thought �he has never
been properly educated on the ways of youkais�. That was supposed to be this
Sesshomarus� responsibility... I will have that remedied.� �You wish for this
Sesshomaru to explain things to you?� He directed at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha was about to
respond when he started to feel a tingling sensation at the edge of his
awareness. He stiffened slightly as the room started to fill with a soft yellow
glow. The tingling grew in strength and Inuyasha become aware of Kagomes
presence with out her actually being there. He froze in his chair as he felt
her giving off waves of fear and shear panic. �Kagome!� he said aloud. �I�m
coming, hold on!� With that he jumped to his feet and ran from the castle in
the direction of Kagomes� presence. His pulse was beating through the roof, and
his instincts were screaming to him to protect his female, to find his pack, to
kill the threat and claim what was his. He leaped into the trees and sped as
fast as he possibly could towards her as a white light shot past him above in
the sky. He vaguely acknowledged that it was Sesshomaru as he watched wildlife in
his path scatter to the four winds.
Sesshomaru felt the
presence of Inuyashas� miko enter the room as well as her feelings of deep fear
and shear panic and as Inuyasha raced off to the aid of his bitch, he,
Sesshomaru stood up and bellowed for Yukao.
�My Lord.� Yukao
answered a moment later, his silky long black hair swayed slightly from his
sudden stop.
�Prepare Ah-Un and Rin
and meet me at Inuyashas� village immediately.� With that said, Sesshomaru left
his castle, entering into his courtyard where he quickly took to the sky and
raced off in the direction from which her cry for help came. Gaining speed
quickly he soon become only a ball of light for others to look upon, passing by
Inuyasha and villages as he sped to the aid of one who granted him aid in his
last battle. �This Sesshomaru will not be in debt to anyone, my debt shall be
repaid with this miko�. He thought as he focused on his destination. Sesshomaru
wondered if the wench could hold out long enough for him to arrive, he
estimated that it would take him at least a little over an hour to get to her,
Inuyasha wouldn�t get there for another hour and a half at the pace he was
moving at.
The tree sprite yelled
in victory as he saw before his eyes the barrier flicker and give out. �It�s
about fucking time. I�ve only been at it for an hour already.� He thought to him
self. Throughout the entire time the miko he had caught had remained
unconscious, but now he could see that she was beginning to awaken.
Springing forward he
crawled on top of her, and began to run his hands along her body. His gnarly
fingers rolled her nipples underneath her odd top as he grinded his lower half
against hers, humping her while still fully clothed. He let out a demonic growl
of lust and need as he began to suck on her neck where her pulse was. He
inhaled deeply, taking in her scent and he found to his immense pleasure that
her body was reacting to his ministrations. He could smell the essence between
her legs become a deeper muskier scent.
Pulling his head away
he looked to her face, seeing that her eyes were still shut in deep sleep. �Such
is the power of my sleeping mist.� He thought. He had taken many a maidens just
like this, in this very manner. Had deflowered many up and coming mikos and had
children with quite a few of them; although none of them actually knew who or
what the father was.
He extended his claws,
ripping and slicing her clothes from her body, including the odd undergarments
she wore underneath her top clothes. Slipping his hand down her body, he ran
his palm over her hip and down between her thighs, palming her maiden hood
while sucking one of her nipples into his mouth. He heard her moan in her sleep
and felt her arc her lower back, causing him to palm her harder for a few
minutes. He slipped his gnarled pointer finger into her heat and pushed through
her outer lips entering her. Groaning as he did so, he could feel his member
swell in anticipation. He could tell by the tightness that she had never
experienced even a single finger entering her. His sensitive hearing picked up
her increased breathes and heart beat. �Inu..yashaaa.� She breathed in her
sleep, as she spread her legs unconsciously to allow him more movement. He was
sucking her neck and pumping his finger into her repeatedly slowly trying to
work his middle finger in as well, while using his other hand to loosen his hakamas.
�Never,� he thought, �have I ever had a maiden react this strongly� never have
I found one this alive while under my sleeping mist.�
He succeeded in
pushing in his middle finger and now pumped her with his two longest, thickest
fingers, he smiled in greedy pleasure as she wiggled and moaned underneath him,
calling out for some Inuyasha person. He supposed this was some human man she
was attracted to, or perhaps it was the faint demon smell that he detected but
dismissed, she was after all unmarked and unclaimed. He was positioning his
penis between her legs, rubbing it back and forth, teasing her in her enchanted
sleep while stroking her breast and licking her neck, preparing to enter her.
He was so engrossed in
her, that he did not feel the ominous auras that were fast approaching. He felt
searing pain across his back and was blown to the side, slamming up against a
tree trunk. Wind whipped against his face, as a demon came to stand between him
self and the miko. He looked upon the being and saw that he was a mighty dog
demon, whose aura encompassed his own and swallowed it whole, smothering him
spiritually. �What.. what do you want?� the tree sprite asked as he groaned
from his injuries.
�You have attempted to
defile something that belongs to one of this Sesshomarus� clan.� Sesshomaru
said with his ever bored and unchanging face, only his voice and eyes betrayed
his anger.
�Sess.. sesssh�
Sesshomaru, the Western Lands Lord?� The tree sprite sputtered in horror.
Sesshomaru said
nothing; merely looked upon the disgusting sprite and raising his fingers let
his finger whip come out, he flicked his wrist and whipped the sprite into
temporary unconsciousness. Satisfied for the moment, he turned to the still
unconscious miko. He could smell her arousal, and noted that it was
surprisingly delicious for a human wench. He could also smell the enchantment
that held her in deep sleep; although it looked as though she were trying to
fight it on some level, her brows were puckered in a frown and he felt a slight
trace of distress coming from her. �Hnn, she must be incredibly strong, to be
able to hold him off this long and still continue to fight the enchantment.
Ordinary humans would have given in to it by now. This Sesshomaru must admit
that for a human she appears to be worthy of the Inu blood, should my brother
follow through and mate her.� He thought to himself as he walked to her side,
removing his outer haori. He draped it over her naked form shielding her from
further eyes. He grudgingly admitted to him self that her form was very
pleasing as well.
Inuyasha jumped into
the clearing where he sensed Kagome and Sesshomaru as well as another unknown
demon. He ran to Kagomes� side and was instantly enraged, he saw the forest
around him become draped in a red haze, as his eyes bled red and his nails and
teeth grew in length. He looked to Sesshomaru who merely returned his gaze. His
blood pumped through his veins, his demon instincts were telling him to kill,
to mangle, to destroy, it was crying out for vengeance for� blood.
A slight stirring off
to the left made him look in that direction. The tree sprite opened his eyes
and saw before him another Inu demon, and nearly soiled his pants. This one was
not quite as strong as the first, but this one was definitely more enraged. He
could tell that his demon blood was calling for vengeance and blood, HIS blood.
He let out a strangled whimper as the younger smaller but still immensely
strong demon turned towards him, and directed his wrath at him.
�You dare touch what
is mine. You will die for your transgresions!� Inuyasha growled and barked out
in the Inu language.
The tree sprite shook
in horrified fear. �I, I I did not know, sh she is n no not ma marked.� He
cried out while cowering against the tree trunk behind him.
�My scent is all over
her, you can smell me plain as day, even if she is not claimed you should be
able to tell that she is MINE! Of MY Pack!� Inuyasha yelled out as he flew
forward and impaled the sprite through the stomach with his claws. Inuyasha bit
into the sprites neck and tore off a chunk of his flesh as he drove his other
hand through the sprites chest and ripped out his heart. He squeezed his hand
shut and the heart squished out between his fingers. Pulling his hand away
away, spun and beheaded the sprite. Taking hold of the severed head he walked
into the woods where he tore a small sapling out of the ground and impaled the
head upon it before walking back to Kagome and Sesshomaru. He stabbed the spike
down into the decapitated demons genitals and scrapped words into the tree
behind him.
Sesshomaru watched as
Inuyasha dealt with the offending demon. He passively noted that although
Inuyasha did not know of the customs, traditions or rituals that were taught to
every Inu demon, he did however despite being a hanyou have the strong innate instincts
of the Inu-Youkai blood line. When Inuyasha stepped away from the trunk and
towards the miko, he took a moment to glance at what his brother had scratched
into the tree. �Heed this warning to all those who would harm one of an
Inu-Youkais.� �Hmph, indeed.� Sesshomaru thought to himself as he silently
walked along side Inuyasha to the village.
Inuyasha cradled
Kagomes� unconscious body against his own and headed towards Keades� hut. He
was going to get Keade to look her over and then bring her home to her own time
for her mother to take care of her. He dipped his nose to her neck and sniffed
her deeply, heaving a deep sigh when he found her scent unchanged. Well at
least that was something, he knew that the sprite had not been able to rape her
physically� but what would this do to her mentally? Emotionally he knew she was
going to be a train wreck for a while to come.
Inuyasha entered the
hut on the outskirts of the village and greeted Keade, before she turned to
look at him.
�Inuyasha, ye have
return�� Keade started to say but was stopped short when she saw his changed
appeance and what he carried, and then looked to the TaiYoukai who now entered
the hut and stood beside Inuyasha as stoic as always.
Inuyasha walked to the
corner of the hut and placed Kagome down on the futon that occupied the space.
�Baba, Kagome was attacked in the forest by a tree sprite that tried to rape
her� we came as quickly as we could. I don�t think he was able to finish his
task, but could you look her over and find a kimono for her. I am going to
bring her home as soon as possible.� Inuyasha said as he faced Keade.
�Certainly Inuyasha,
please send Sango in here, I will need her assistance. You can both wait
outside until we get Kagome properly clothed.� Keade said in return glancing
from Inuyasha to Sesshomaru and back to Kagome. �Then perhaps you can tell us
what has happened to make you appear full demon after Kagome is returned
home..� Keade said as she put a pot of water on the fire to boil.
�I am hoping that
Kagome may be able to tell me how this came about. I myself do not know how it
has happened.� Inuyasha said quietly as he started for the door of the hut,
intent on finding Sango right away.
The TaiYoukai followed
Inuyasha back outside the hut and headed to a nearby tree to sit against and
relax. It was now after dark and he did not expect to see Yukao and Rin for an
hour at least. His mind wondered over the events of the day, and it came as no
surprise to him that he was slightly tired and hungry. His stomach growled so
he stood up and headed into the forest. This was most likely the only chance
he�d have to eat in peace for a while.
Inuyasha walked out of
the hut and sniffed the air. He picked out Sangos� scent and followed it,
swooping and leaping from tree branch to the ground and back into the tree
until he reached where she was walking back from Kougas� to Keades� with
Miroku. He leaped from the tree and landed in front of the startled couple, who
each let out shocked gasps and tensed at first seeing a youkai land in front of
them.
�Oi, Sango, Keade
needs your help with Kagome, she was attacked in the woods.� Inuyasha said
before either of them could say anything.
�InuYasha!?� they both
said in surprised tones while gaping at the �new� Inuyasha before them.
�No time now, we gotta
hurry.� With that said he grabbed Sango and placed her on his back, giving her
a piggy back ride like he usually did for Kagome. She squeaked and clutched
onto him in surprise as he took off before she or Miroku could utter any
protests.
She looked back to see
Miroku running along behind them, then turned her head to face forward again.
�Wow, I can see why Kagome-chan likes this so much. It�s quite different then
riding on Kirara.� Sango said as her hand grip began to loosen somewhat. �What
happened to Kagome-chan? We all thought she went back through the well.� Sango
said.
�I don�t really know.
She was attacked by a tree sprite that tried to rape her. Sesshomaru reached
her in time to prevent him from actually harming her, it seems she was able to
fend him off for at least an hour on her own, at which point she gave out
completely.� Inuyasha said. He heard her sharp intake of breath and felt her
body tense against him, he new she was beyond just mad. Sango and Kagome had
become like sisters over the years, the two of them shared all of their secrets
with each other and had a bond that twins would envey. �It�s ok Sango, she�s
safe now. Keade needs your help washing her up and dressing her. Then I�m
taking her back to her time, for her mom to care for her for a while. I may not
be a woman, but I am pretty sure that she will need her mom with her for a
while.� Inuyasha said, trying to calm the very ticked off Tiajiya on his back.
They reached the hut
and Sango ran inside as quickly as she could go, while Inuyasha took a seat
outside the hut door and waited to be called in.
�Keade, is she ok?�
Sango asked as she knelt beside the futon and gently stroked Kagomes� hair.
�She is fine, Sango. A
few minor scrapes, the sprite did not breach her maiden hood, although it seems
as though some form of penetration has occurred, it was not enough to deflower
her.� Keade said as she handed an under kimono to Sango and placed a top one,
to the side for the moment. �Help me dress her in this so that Inuyasha can
bring her home. I thought she would want you present if she were to awaken
while being changed.� Keade said as she knelt on Kagomes� other side.
Sango looked at what
was draped over Kagomes limp form. �Sesshomarus� haori?� She said her voice
having a slight trace of wunder to it.
�Eh, it would seem the
TiaYoukai reached her first and draped his haori over her to preserve some of
her dignity for her.� Keade answered Sangos� unvoiced question. They worked
together to dress Kagome, finishing a few minutes later.
�Inuyasha, she is ready
to go home.� Keade said to the awaiting hanyou outside the door.
Inuyasha came in and
gently lifted Kagome into his arms. Walking out the door he directed his words
back at Sango and Miroku who was just now exiting from the forest and nearing
Keades� hut. �I�ll be back tomorrow morning. I want everyone to meet me here at
sun rise. I want to know why she was alone.� With that Inuyasha took off into
the forest towards the well that would take her and him back to her time.
Sesshomaru had just
finished his meal and was heading back towards the village to await the arrival
of Rin and Yukao when he sensed the hanyou and miko heading his way. He paused
in his step for a slight second and then stopped in his stride completely while
still within the trees on the perimeter of a small clearing. Within the center
of the clearing sat a well. He raised an eyebrow as he watched Inuyasha enter
the clearing, carrying the miko as he slowly approached the well. �What is he
doing with the miko here? Should she not be in the elder mikos� hut?� But
before he could come up with further questions to what they were doing, he
watched in surprise as Inuyasha jumped into the well the miko still in his
arms, as a split second later a blue light shone out of the well, and he could
no longer detect the scent of his half brother or the miko. They had vanished
within the well. He continued on through the clearing towards the village,
glancing once at the well he knew to be called the �bone eaters well� and
decided to ask the older miko where his brother had gone.
Inuyasha leaped to the
top of the well and walked to the back door of the shrine, opening the door he
was greeted by Kagomes� grandpa who immediately stood back and looked at Kagome
in his arms. Inuyasha ignored the old man for the moment and continued on his
way to the stairs that led to Kagomes� bedroom. He pushed open her door and
approached her bed, slipping the blanket back he gently laid her down and
tucked her in.
He stood there for a moment
staring at her, taking in her beauty and heaving a sigh. �What were you doing
alone in the woods, Kagome? After all these years have you still not learned
your lesson? I am beginning to think you�re a little slow in some areas.� He
could not help the scorn he felt for her that was slowly welling up in him.
�Did she still not think before she ran off on her own?� He felt a twinge of
guilt for his unkind thoughts of her and his heart skipped a beat. What was it
that he felt for her really? There were times when she was his everything, more
than Kikyo could have ever been and then at times she was much less than Kikyo
ever was. This worried him for a bit, over the years he had come to realize
that although Kikyo was his first love, their love was nothing more than what
Kagome had labeled �puppy love� something that was stronger than a slight
infatuation but less than true love. Did this mean that what he and Kagome
shared was not true love? Did he want to be loved completely so strongly that
he would willingly allow him self to be blinded as to what his true feelings
were?
He was snapped out of
his thoughts when he heard the front door open, catching the scent of Kagomes�
mother and brother, Sota, he decided to go down and break the news.
He found her in the
kitchen putting groceries away in the shelves and fridge. He cleared his throat
a bit and then addressed her. �Ahem, uhm Mrs. Higurashi, we need to talk.� He
said quietly behind her.
She twirled around
with a slightly surprised look on her face. �Oh, Inuyasha! My god, what
happened to your cute little ears! When did you get back from your travels? Is
Kagome home as well?�
Inuyasha fidgeted a
bit and then took a seat while signaling that she should sit as well. Heaving a
sigh he contemplated on where to start. �Uh, well, I just got back this evening
from the Western Lands.�
Mrs. Higurashi felt
waves of anxiety wash over her; it was not like Inuyasha to be so serious.
�Inuyasha, what has happened.. why has your appearance changed so much?�
�I don�t really know
as of yet I was hoping that Kagome might be able to tell me�� his words trailed
off, he was unsure how to tell her that her daughter was nearly raped tonight
and that she had managed to call to him while he was a hundred miles away and
yet still protect herself just long enough for help to arrive. How do you say
that to ones mother, who has entrusted their daughter to you? He decided to be
straight forward. Looking her in the eye and holding her gaze he plowed ahead.
�Mrs. Higurashi, while I was still at Sesshomarus�, Kagome called out to me
with her �aura� or �spirit� for lack of a better word, she was able to convey
fear and panic to me, as a plea for help. I came to her as soon as I could.
Sesshomaru got to her before me and disarmed her attacker� if it were not for
Kagome putting a barrier over herself that held for the majority of the time
that it took us to reach her� Kagome was almost raped. I�ve brought her home to
you, she�s has not yet awoken from her ordeal.� Inuyasha said with a defeated
sigh.
Throughout the time it
took Inuyasha to explain to her mother what had transpired, Mrs. Higurashis�
face had become paler and paler until he was finally able to spit out what
happened. Her eyes dilated and tears sprung to her eyes. �Where is my baby!?�
She cried out demandingly as she stood up.
�I�ve put her to bed
in her room.� Inuyasha whispered, while he too stood, and followed Kagomes
mother as she ran for her daughters� room.
He stood in silence in
the doorway and watched as she took her daughters upper shoulders and head and
rested them on her lap, as she climbed into the bed with her. She cradled her
close and rocked slightly as she silently cried for a while. One of her worst
fears had almost come to light tonight, if it had not been for Inuyasha and his
brothers� quick response� she didn�t want to think about what would have happened.
She sniffled while clearing her throat, heaving a huge sigh she wiped her tear
stained cheeks.
�I�m sorry I was not
able to protect her, I know I have failed in my responsibility.� Inuyasha said
softly while looking down. He was sure that if his ears were still puppy ears
they would be plastered to his scalp.
�How far did it go?�
Mrs. Higurashi asked while looking up at Inuyasha.
He looked at her and
knew what she was asking. �Her maidenhood was not breached, if that is what you
are asking, although, Keade said it looked as though there were some type of
penetration.� He regurgitated what he had heard the old miko tell Sango while
he stood outside the doorway waiting.
At a loss for what to
say for the moment Kagomes� mom merely nodded her head and got comfortable on
the bed. She would not leave her daughter until she awoke and had a chance to
comfort her.
Inuyasha sat at the
foot of the bed Indian style with the Tetsusiaga leaning against the wall near
him.
�You did not fail in
your protection of her, Inuyasha.� Mrs. Higurashi said quietly. �You got to her
as soon as you could, did you not?� She questioned softly.
�I have never before
reached such speeds, I almost ran as fast as Sesshomaru flew.� Inuyasha said as
he looked upon Kagomes� sleeping face.
�How did it happen?
Where were your other companions?� Mrs. Higurashi asked the solemn hanyou
before her.
Inuyasha looked from
her to Kagome. �From what I gather and I am only guessing for the most part.
She must have left the group after obtaining the rest of her soul. I guess she
wanted to come home for the night and most likely insisted on going to the well
on her own. You know how stubborn she is with her independence and not wanting
to be a burden on people. I guess on the way to the well she was attacked by a
tree sprite. She managed to erect a barrier around herself that held for the
better part of an hour. Then Sesshomaru arrived a few minutes before me, just
after her barrier gave way and disarmed her attacker. When I got there I took
vengeance on him for his attack on Kagome and then brought her to Keade, who
dressed her in these clothes and looked her over before I brought her here to
you. The rest you know.�
�Except for your
appearance and why she has not awakened yet.� Mrs. Higurashi said.
�She is drugged. She
should wake up by morning. The sprite emitted some sort of sleeping mist when
he attacked her. As for my appearance, this occurred during a battle with
Naraku, I am not completely sure what has happened either.� Inuyasha said as
they both closed their eyes and succumbed to sleep for the night.
Inuyasha snapped awake
instantly when he heard Kagome call out for him in her sleep. He focused on her
to see if she was asleep, and then looked to see if her mom had awoken as well.
�Nope, both still passed out.� He thought to himself. He looked back at Kagome
when she pressed her legs together and whispered his name again. �What on
earth�� he thought. His nostrils flared slight as his eyes grew wide at the
scent he was picking up on as it eminated from Kagomes prone form. �Kagomes�,
aroused� and calling out for me?� He smirked, a self satisfied arrogant smirk
and watched as she moaned quietly as her arousal scent spiked even more. He
found that he was feeling rather hot and that a knot seemed to be forming in
his mid section. �Damn it, does she have to have such an appealing scent?� He
crushed his urges and slammed his youkai blood back in place when he felt it
roaring to the surface, encouraging him to take her. Now was certainly not the
time for any of that! A moment later she groaned and rolled over, her arousal
scent gradually disappeared and he was able to relax and fall back into a light
slumber, with his smirk still in place. His subconscious was left to wonder why
he had never come upon her having a wet dream before now.
Sesshomaru approached
the hut of the old miko and stood quietly for a second before calling out.
�Miko, come out here. This Sesshomaru has a question for you.�
Keade appeared in the
doorway of her hut. �Sesshomaru-Sama,� Keade said with a slight bow of her
head. �What is it ye would like to know?� Keade asked as she stood still, it
was getting late and she was hoping to retire soon, hopefully the TaiYoukai
would not stay long.
Sesshomaru looked at
the aging miko, and took note of her respectful address and bow of her head, along
with her slumped shoulders and tired eyes. �This Sesshomaru no longer senses
the hanyou or miko near here, where did they go?� He demanded.
Keade looked at the
demon lord and debated quietly how to answer him, then decided that the truth
would be best since he would smell her lie. �Inuyasha has taken Kagome home to
her mother.� Keade answered, and after waiting for a moment she watched as his
eyebrows drew together slightly and then turned away from her to leap into a
near by tree.
Not long afterwards
Yukao arrived with Rin on the back of Ah-Un. They settled down to sleep under
the tree that Sesshomaru had claimed for the night, while Sesshomaru sat ever
vigilant throughout the night, his only company were his thoughts as he
pondered the days events and revelations, including that of Inuyasha
disappearing down the bone eaters well with his miko, to supposedly return her
to her mother. Both the miko and well were turning out to be interesting. A
corner of his mouth turned upwards slightly at his recent discoveries, it had
been quite some time since another being had caught his interest and held it.
The bone eaters well�
the well had a long history of strange occurrences; it was said that it ate the
bones of deceased demons. Not to mention that the well reeked of magic, and
gave off what felt like its� own aura. Sesshomaru found that he suddenly wanted
to know more about this miko and the bone eaters well. Deciding he would send
Yukao back to the castle in the morning to look up more on the well, his
thoughts moved on to other matters that had been bothering him as of late�
Kagome woke in the
morning to find herself nestled comfortably within her mothers� arms, with
Inuyasha perched on the foot of her bed, leaning against the wall still
sleeping. She looked around her room for a bit and wondered how she had gotten here.
Closing her eyes for a moment, willing her self to remember what had happened
before sleep claimed her.
With a soft gasp she
remembered entering the forest to come home and then being attacked by what
appeared to be roots, and then inhaling some sort of mist that made everything hazy
while her eyes slowly dropped shut and feeling in her limbs left her. She felt
completely helpless and at the mercy of her attacker. She could remember the
mist forcing her into unconsciousness but she fought it off to the point where
only her limbs remained motionless and her eyes shut tight. Her consciousness however
had remained in fully aware of what was transpiring around her while still not
budging and or giving way to her subconscious. She had then tapped into her new
found powers that had been greatly depleted by the days� events, but still
found that she could erect a barrier. Her powers had flared out and she had
mentally screamed with every fiber of her body for Inuyasha; clinging to the
hope that if she held out long enough then Inuyasha or someone else would come
to her aide, before her barrier fell.
Something continuously
attacked her barrier, sapping her strength until finally she felt it give way.
Rough things touched her, and licked her. She found herself drifting off
thinking it was Inuyasha who was there, making her feel sensations she had
never before imagined. She had moaned and called out to him, but even then
something did not feel right. Her instincts were screaming at her that
something was not right and she once again fought to regain consciousness,
until finally she gave in completely and allowed herself to fall completely
within her subconscious.
�Oh my god, what had
happened!? How did I get home, did Inuyasha reach me in time?� Kagome looked
from her mother to Inuyasha. �Well, at least I�m safe once more.� She shifted
slightly and sat up on her bed, looking down at her clothes, �hmm� what
happened to my own clothes?� little waves of dread washed through her for a
moment. �Calm down Kagome! Inuyasha can tell you what happened.�
Kagome looked at
Inuyasha once she stood and saw his golden eyes already focused on her. She
took a moment to take in his changed appearance, deciding that even though he
lost his adorable puppy ears that he was still extremely handsome, maybe even
more so than before. �Inuyasha, you came.� Was all she said before Inuyasha was
before her with his arms clasped tightly around her waist and back, crushing
her to him.
�Keh. Of course I did
wench.� He answered in his usual gruff voice.
Hearing voices in the
room, Kagomes� mother awoke to the sight of the two hugging, she smiled at the
picture they made and cleared her throat a bit causing the two to turn their
heads and back away from each other slightly. �Kagome dear, would you like some
breakfast?� She asked as she too got off the rumpled bed.
Kagome grinned at her
mom while her tummy started to lightly growl just loud enough for Inuyasha to pick
up. �I�m famished, momma!� She replied as she let go of Inuyasha and headed for
the door. �I�ll be down as soon I get changed and showered.� And with that she
was gone.
An hour later she was
clean and changed into a form fitting sweat suit and sneakers. She had just
finished off her eggs and bacon, while downing a full glass of orange juice and
joined her mother and Inuyasha in the living room. Sota had already left for
school and grandpa had said he�d be back in a moment or two. He was going to go
and make sure the shrine was open to visitors and then come back.
�Sooo, are either of
you gonna clue me in on what happened last night? My memory seems to be a bit
foggy.� Kagome said as she as she took a seat beside Inuyasha on the couch. �It
could not have been THAT serious, since I am here with Inuyasha.�
�Kagome dear, perhaps
we will wait until grandpa gets back, I am sure he would like to be filled in
as well.� Mrs. Higurashi said as she looked out the window to her father inlaw.
A minute later Kagomes�
grandfather walked in, looking at everyone settled in various seats around the
living room, he went and sat beside his daughter inlaw. He looked at each in
turn and then refocused on Inuyasha, silently prompting him to begin.
Inuyasha looked at
Kagome and then at her family and back to her, he grabbed hold of her hand and
silently tried to comfort her.
�Well, Inuyasha, you
gonna fill us in on why I am back here and why I can�t remember much after
being attacked?� Kagome asked him while looking at him with round innocent
eyes.
�Uhm, Kagome, we did
get to you in time before any real damage was done to you... You managed to
hold him off for a long time by yourself. He WON�T be going near you again; in
fact he won�t be going near anyone again!� Inuyasha said through clenched
teeth. He was fumbling in his explanation he knew that, but he was never good
at expressing himself verbally to begin with. He could see that he was making
Kagome even more nervous and worried by the second.
Heaving a deep sigh he
said very quietly and gently as he possibly could, while still loud enough for
all present to hear his words clearly. �Kagome, you were almost raped last
night, but you managed to hold your attacker off long enough for Sesshomaru and
myself to get to you before he could actually do any real damage.�
Kagome had gone stiff
and it felt like she had forgotten how to breathe. So many thoughts were
drifting in and out of her mind, faster than she could focus on them. Memories
of last night drifted before her eyes and she felt her self becoming light
headed. Then as her vision seemed to go slightly dim, she snapped her self out
of it. She turned to Inuyasha and gave him a huge hug. �Thank you Inuyasha, for
saving me yet again.� Her voice was whisper soft to his ears.
Inuyasha draped his
arms around her and hugged her back, looking at her mother and grandfather over
her shoulders. �It was Sesshomaru who got him off of you in time. He reached
you a few minutes before I did.� Inuyasha said softly.
�But you came none the
less, I called for you and I know you were miles and miles away from me, and
you still came for me. I have no doubt that you also fought to reclaim what
ever honor of mine, he may have taken. Thank you Inuyasha, you truly are my
best friend, I would be dead and most likely raped or claimed against my will
many times over again if it were not for you.� Kagomes voice was soft and full
of meaning as she spoke into his ear while still hugging him.
Her grandpa and mother
both had looks of gratitude and honest affection in their eyes for the hanyou
who always kept their Kagome safe. Mrs. Higurashi stood up and looked at all
present.
�Kagome dear, are you
and Inuyasha going to be staying for lunch?� Mrs. Higurashi asked Kagome who
had just released her best friend from her hug.
Kagome looked at her
mother and then at Inuyasha and her grandpa. �You said that Sesshomaru saved me
just before you reached me and before anything really bad could happen, right?�
�Yes.� Inuyasha
answered, looking at her closely. He could tell that she was up to something.
�Hmm, then it is only
right for me to gift him with something along with my thanks�� Kagome whispered
softly to her self. �Momma, I�m going to go out for a little bit, I should be
back in about two hours. Inuyasha, can you wait here for me? I promise I won�t
be too long and when I get back we can go back to Keades�.� Kagome said and
smiled when she saw Inuyasha sit back down and click on the TV. It was his way
of agreeing without having to voice it. She looked at her mother and smiled. �Momma
I would really appreciate it if you would pack us a lunch, with a smoked ham, I
have a feeling a certain Demon Lord wont want to eat our regular �human� food.�
Kagome asked her mom with a twinkle and smile in her eyes.
She was still very
confused and a bit frightened about what happened to her, but after her life in
the feudal era she found her self a lot more excepting of things such as events
that happened to her and people she ran into. The past was not something she
would allow her self to dwell on. The future was way more exciting, who knew
what it held! She just found her self thankful that she was saved in the nick
of time yet again. Truly there was some god above who liked her.
Mrs. Higurashi and
grandpa marveled at how Kagome could just keep on trekking, even after all that
had happened to her. Deep down inside they were very glad that she was turning
out to be such a resilient and strong individual, and that made them both very
proud of her. They too had accepted their fate and that of Kagomes� when it came
to the well and time line. They now left their lives and loved ones in the
hands of Kami, praying to him that he would be just with their lives and their
loved ones.
�Sure sweetie, I�ll
have it all packed and ready to go by the time you get back.� Mrs. Higurashi
said with a smile.
Kagome went and hugged
her grandpa and then her mother. Thanks guys, I love you both, you�re the best
family anyone could possibly wish for. She waved to them as she slid on her
sandals and ran out the door.
�First stop, the book
store!� She thought to her self as she ran at top speed down the shrine steps
and across the sidewalk. �Then I better go see my student advisor, I have to
pick up my new assignments and get my grades on my last batch.�
Although it was
difficult for her to sometimes accomplish, she was still managing to get an
education in her time as well. She had discovered a few years back that while
she rid on Inuyashas� back she could clench onto him with her thighs and if he
held her a bit closer then she could read while they zipped along to their
intended destination. It was a testament she supposed to how much faith and
trust she held within her best friend that she would completely ignore their
surroundings and be relaxed enough to study her work while Inuyasha zipped them
around Japan
in search of jewel shards and Naracku. It was the only way that she had managed
to get her much needed studying done and had inadvertently made Inuyasha even
happier, since she no longer begged to go home for study sessions. Both were
content and happy with the situation. As a result she had managed to pass high
school with flying colors and got accepted into the local university as a long
distance student, studying nursing part time. She was now almost complete her
fourth year. Having never taken a single break through the years she had managed
to keep on track. The only thing that she worried about was her practicum at
the end of the course; she would need to spend two months in her time in order
to complete her education. �Oh well,� she thought to herself �I�ll worry about
that hurdle when it comes time to.�
She stopped in mid jog
outside of the local book store and went in. Glancing around she saw the sales
clerk in a back corner, quickly advancing on her, Kagome called out so as not
to startle the poor woman. �Excuse me, could you please help me? I�m looking for
a world Atlas, but one that does not have cities, populations or roads on it,
just climate variations, mountains, rivers and streams and bodies of water. Do
you know if you carry anything like that?� Kagome asked with a sing song voice.
The Clerk looked at
her for a moment while scrunching up her eyes� �Yeah.. I think we do, come this
way, I�ll show you.� With that she headed off in another direction.
Kagome followed her
and was excited to see that they had exactly what she was looking for. She
grinned at the clerk and said her thanks, then before turning to the counter
another thought stuck her. �Oh hey, do you have a constellations book, one that
has the placement of stars in the Sengoku Jedi era to the present day sky?�
Kagome asked, as her eyes sparkled with hope.
�Uhmm yeah I think so,
we have a pretty large variety of maps and stuff like that here, I think the
owner is obsessed them.� She giggled a little bit when Kagome grinned at her.
She bent down and looked at the bottom shelf then pulled out another book and
handed it to Kagome as well. �Would that be all?� the girl asked as she watched
Kagome shift through it.
Kagome chewed on the
bottom left corner of her lip for a second� �Perhaps another book� one that
depicts all the plants, weeds and known trees of the Sengoku Jedi Era? As well
as their medicinal properties? Yeah... Something like that would be awesome!�
Kagomes� voice was once again laced with hope.
The sales clerk
smiled. �Sure, come this way.� She led Kagome off to another section and helped
her find a good Herbal reference book to add to the two she already had.
Kagome smiled a true
smile at the clerk who could not help but give her own smile in return. �Thank
you so much for your assistance; this is all I need.� Kagome followed the girl
to the counter and paid for the books. Her heart doing small flip flops, �Geez,
even in to days� day and age knowledge is still expensive!� she thought as she
punched in her debit card number, before she picked up her bag of knowledge and
headed out of the store and to the next bus stop that headed down town.
She ran into the
University and all the way to her student advisors office. Knocking gently she
waited a moment to be called in.
�Enter.� Said a deep
voice before Kagome pushed open the door and entered.
�Ahh, Kagome, good, I
just got your marks back and have your next batch of assignments, everything
can be found within this.� Mr. Unmei said as he handed Kagome a thick envelope
that weighed a tone for its size.
Kagome smiled. �Thanks
Mr. Unmei, I�ll have my assignments back in to you in about four weeks!� Kagome
said as she bowed slightly and made her way out of the door before he could
strike up a long winded conversation. Once outside she had decided that a quick
stop by the local clinic was needed, just for her own peace of mind, and that
of her mothers.
Hoping off of the bus
she waved goodbye to the flamboyant bus driver and walked into the clinic and
up to the front desk.
�What can I do for
you?� The office clerk asked, her tone deadpan and expression bored as she
lazily flipped through the magazine before her.
�Hi, uhm, I would like
to see a doctor if it is possible. Preferably a female�� Kagome lowered her
voice to that of a whisper so no one could hear her.
�Reason for coming?�
With a flick of her wrist the receptionist closed the magazine and reached for
a sheet of paper addressing Kagome without yet bothering to look at her.
Kagome mentally begged
her to lower her voice. S did not want to be further embarrassed with her
reason for being here. �Uhm, I think I was almost raped last night, and I want
to make sure everything is ok.� Her voice a whisper, she felt her shoulders
hunch inwards in an attempt to make herself small and inconspicuous to others
around her.
The clerks� eyes shot
up immediately from her paper as she stood to go around the counter and gently
placed a hand on Kagomes� back. �Come this way, I�ll show you to a room where
you can wait for the Doctor in privacy. Do you need someone to talk to? I can
give you some places you can contact if you feel the need to talk to someone��
Her voice was now quiet and gentle and she looked at Kagome with startled
sadness.
Kagome smiled at her
and shook her head. �Oh, no, that�s ok. I�ll be fine. I just want to make sure
everything is as it should be. My mother and grandfather and my best friends
are being very supportive. In fact it was my best friend and his brother who
saved me.� Kagome started to prattle on and stopped herself immediately.
�Please if you could just let me see a doctor that would be great.� Kagome said
while she glanced at the back rooms.
�Sure sweetie, come
this way, the doctor will be here in a few minutes, remove your bottom clothes
and slip on this gown, then get your self comfortable on the examination
table.� The clerk tucked Kagome into a small cubical sized room to wait.
Kagome did as she was
told and just as she had lain back the door opened and an elderly woman walked
in.
�Ms. Higurashi,
Kagome?� The doctor asked.
�Yes.� Kagome replied.
�You want a pelvic
exam done to make sure everything is ok� it says here that you are an attempted
rape victim?� The doctor asked to clarify what her file said.
Kagome cleared her
throat. �Uhm yes, that�s right. You see uh, I uhm am still a virgin, and would
like to know if last nights attack disturbed anything.� She swallowed in a bid
to stop the tremble from entering her voice. It was nerve wracking, knowing
that she was about to be physically examined in her most intimate of areas,
even if it was an older woman� an older female doctor who was doing the
looking, it was still embarrassing.
�I see, ok well this
will just take a moment.� The Doctor said while she picked up some gloves and
slipped them on and then grabbed a tube of some sort. �This will feel cold for
a moment and you may experience some slight discomfort.� The doctor informed
Kagome as she went to work.
Kagome nodded her head
and then stared straight ahead at the ceiling, while the doctor did her thing.
She decided the doctor was right, it was cold and uncomfortable but if it left
her with a peaceful mind then so be it.
A few moments later
the doctor was washing her hands and cleaning up after her self. She turned to
Kagome with a smile after drying her hands.
�Well dear, you have
nothing to fear, it seems that your friends did indeed save you in time. Your
hymen is completely in tact still, and there are only minor scratches to your
labia. Though it seems as though there was some sort of penetration that occurred,
possibly from fingers, it did nothing that won�t heal completely within the
next few days.� The doctor smiled at her as she informed her of her findings.
Kagome smiled and felt
a tension she did not even know she was holding leave her body. �Thank you very
much doctor, I appreciate it.� Kagome said as she started to don her clothes.
She wanted to run home and tell her mother as soon as she could.
Kagome left the clinic
almost at a run and jumped on the next bus home. She entered the Shrine and
called out for her mom. �Mom, I�m baaaack!� Inuyasha was already standing in
front of her before she could finish her yell. She smiled up at him as she headed
into the kitchen where her mom and grandpa were.
�Hi, Kagome dear.�
Mrs. Higurashi greeted her as she finished wrapping up the last of Kagomes�
lunch.
Kagome looked at the
feast her mother had prepared and grinned at her mom. �Thanks a lot momma, the
guys are going to love this! Oh and I got some books for Sesshomaru as a way of
saying thanks and expressing my gratitude.� She babbled on as she placed the
sturdy hard cover books on the table.
Inuyasha looked at
them and smirked, he knew Sesshomaru would not refuse them. If there as
anything other than power he sought it was knowledge, after was it not an old
saying �knowledge is power.� He glanced over at Kagome and smiled slightly
while saying, �He�ll love them Kagome. You did well.�
Kagome beamed at Inuyasha
and told her family that she had gone to the clinic as well, just to make sure
that everything was ok with her. Her mother looked visibly relieved and her
grandfather actually heaved a huge sigh of relief on hearing that her �hymen�
was completely in tact. Then when she was done, the blushing furiously red
Kagome went off to get her school books. When she came back into the kitchen
with her things she said goodbye to her mom and grandfather.
Inuyasha glanced at
Kagome every now and then as they walked to the well house. �Hey, Kagome, are
you sure you want to go back already? We can stay a little while longer if you
want.� He really didn�t want to rush her back into the thick of things so soon
after her attack. It would only bring unneeded stress to her and as a result to
everyone else. He watched as Kagome turned to him and gave him a small smile.
Inuyasha felt
something twist within him. There was something not completely Kagome within
her smile, and within her eyes he saw something else that had not been there
before he left a month and some odd weeks ago. The bright gleaming wide eyed
innocent look that used to adorn her face was no longer as wide or bright or as
innocent. Her smile while still sweet and carefree was tinged in sadness now.
He didn�t know why, but inside he felt as though a little bit of her had
slipped away or been morphed into something else.
He glanced at the
jewel shards still strapped around her neck and was surprised at him self when
he sighed a sigh of relief upon seeing them still pure of taint. �Of course
they�re still purified, why wouldn�t they be? This is Kagome, not Kikyo.
Although, since she�s retrieved the rest of her soul, does that mean that she
is now partly Kikyo as well? Is that why she seems less herself?� He pondered
this in his head for a second or two. �No. Kagome is Kagome, not Kikyo. Kikyo
is dead and gone, and no matter who her reincarnation is, she is not Kikyo. She
would be so much more than just Kikyo now��
�Inuyasha, I�m ok.
After all these years of traveling with you and everyone else I have learned to
cope with what has been thrown at me. Despite popular belief I am not as weak
as everyone thinks I am.� Kagome said as they approached and slid open the well
house doors.
Inuyasha flinched
slightly. It was him who always told her that she was weak and pathetic. Always
throwing Kikyos� triumphs at archery or miko powers in her face, rather than
pointing out the better things that Kagome had. �It�s a wonder she is still
here at all and not gone back home for good already.
Inuyasha merely nodded
to her, as he leaned into her draping an arm around her waist and pulling her
securely against him. With a little �Oh� and a smirk from him to her, he leaped
into the well and back into the past.
Kagome was slightly
surprised at the intimate hold that Inuyasha had on her. He had never before
held her so close, so close in fact that she could feel his muscles and the
slight rise and fall of his chest as he breathed. She felt something plummet
within her abdomen and was slightly confused as to what it was, it did not hurt
but it was warm and almost yearning. She thought it was weird that she�d never
felt it before. Then before she could speculate on it further, Inuyasha jumped
out of the well and set her down gently on the other side. Blushing slightly
when he looked directly into her eyes for a moment, she then turned and walked
off in the direction of the village.
