Chapter 5: Hello
Again
Kagome had a
moment to yell for Rin right before Inuyasha burst through the tree line.
Kagome held herself as well as she could as her weary body quaked. Rin came
running to Kagome and stood right behind her. Kagome let herself fall to a single
knee as she placed herself more protectively in front of the young girl.
Jaken quickly
yelled some obscenities at Sesshomaru’s younger half-brother as he followed a
bit behind Rin. Ah-Un simply blinked at Inuyasha and let his nostrils flare
scenting who this new intruder was. After deciding he wasn’t much of a threat,
Ah-Un relaxed his body and fell into a spectator roll.
“Inuyasha.” Sesshomaru calmly said.
“Sesshomaru.” Growled the hanyou his eyes
flicking to Kagome. “Kagome.”
“Hello,
Inuyasha.” She said tentatively, “How are you?”
He gave a
humorless laugh. “Oh, just fine, just fine. How are
you doing with the ice prince? Taking on a new pup?” He sounded bitter and
Kagome couldn’t help but feel guilty.
“She is under my
protection, yes. Where are the others?”
“Oh, you know. Behind. I felt your power and smelled him and tried to get
here as quickly as possible. They’re not too far behind. I gotta
say I was hoping you’d have come to your senses and had turned him to ash, but
I see you merely gave him another weapon to use against us.”
She frowned. “I
gave him back what we took. He has helped me become stronger, there’s no reason
I shouldn’t help him in the same.”
Inuyasha
snarled. “You fucking him then too, onna?
Became the perfect little slut for the perfect bastard of the west?”
Kagome felt the
anger radiating off of Sesshomaru so she put a hand to his new arm and shook
her head. “It’s ok, Sesshomaru.”
“No, he has
insulted us and our pack.” He said it without emotion and if she wasn’t beside
him it would seem as if he was just saying it on principle.
She shook her
head again. “Yes, but I insulted him first. It was a deserved attack, let it
be.” She said all this while looking into Inuyasha’s broken golden eyes. “I
know you don’t understand it and I don’t have the courage to explain it to you,
so just… know that I am sorry I’ve hurt you, but I can’t feel completely guilty
because you’ve hurt me time and again. I care about you and I care about your
pack, but I wouldn’t have been able to go on like we were, I would have died
eventually.”
“I wouldn’t have
let you get hurt.” He said grumpily.
“You wouldn’t
have been able to stop me.” His eyes widened and she nodded. “I was having a
hard time convincing myself that I had to go on, that I had to live and
continue my quest to complete the jewel and destroy it. I know now that I would
have found a way to kill myself.” She smiled slightly. “When you caught me with
Sesshomaru in the woods I had almost let him kill me, in fact I’m still
surprised he didn’t.” She looked up at Sesshomaru and smiled a little before
looking back at Inuyasha. “I know you can’t forgive me. That’s ok.”
Inuyasha took a
step forward. “Come back to me.”
Kagome shook her
head. “No, I almost wish I could but I can’t go back to that.”
He whined and held
his hands out to her. “Back to what?! I don’t
understand! What did I do? Why didn’t you talk to me about it? Why did you
leave me?” He was on his knees a few feet in front of her panic and pain etched
across his face. His clothes were dirty where he had crawled to her. “Why Kagome? Why did you leave me?” He whispered it as he
fought back his tears.
Kagome’s heart
broke. She loved him, she always had and she always would, but she didn’t
deserve him and couldn’t make him happy. She was full of sin and she could only
complete her mission then go home, forgetting this world and its many pains.
She crawled over to him and took his shaking body into her arms.
“Shh, Inuyasha. I’m sorry. You
didn’t do anything, really.” She shook her head and chuckled bitterly. “That’s
a lie actually. I wanted you to care for me.” She whispered. “I wanted you to
see only me, and not my future life. I’ve always cared for you and I always
will and I wanted you to feel the same.” He was about to say something but she
shushed him. “Let me finish. That may have started it, but in the end I could
have just told you what I wanted, but I didn’t. I now realize I didn’t because
I don’t deserve happiness.” He pulled away from her in shock.
“What are you
talking about?! Of course you-”
She smiled sadly
and shook her head. “No, Inuyasha. I have helped murder thousands simply by
existing. You’ve gotta admit that takes talent. I
shattered the jewel and I will mend it in order to atone for my sins. Until
then I am simply a servant of the jewel. I must destroy it and then I can be
free and I can allow myself happiness.” She gave him a smile that didn’t reach
her eyes. “That’s the only thing that’s been keeping me going, that I have a
job to do. I’m sorry that I’ve caused you pain, but I couldn’t be around you
without battling with myself and hating myself all the more. I had to leave you
because I didn’t want to.”
His breathing
was shallow and rough as he stared at her with hurt, confused eyes. He shook
his head and pulled completely away from her. “I just don’t understand.”
“She is saying,
pup, that her urge to stray from her duty was slowly killing her so she had to
rid herself of the temptation that caused her such doubt.” Kagome looked at
Sesshomaru and smiled at him gratefully. Her smile faltered a bit when he
didn’t even flick a glance at her. He was offended by her in some way and she
couldn’t quite grasp in what way that was.
Sesshomaru
caught her confused frown out of his peripheral vision. What did she expect?
She just admitted to loving his unworthy half brother, though not in so many
words. Was he supposed to smile at her? Look at her? Give her a wink for
choosing him only to get away from the thing she actually wanted? He was down
right pissed and even hurt though he couldn’t understand why. He didn’t
understand why this mattered, why she
mattered. Damn, damn, damn.
Kagome opened
her mouth to say something else when she felt every inch of her shake. Bile
rose in her throat and she felt like she was going to throw up or at least gag.
Every muscle in her body ached and every bone felt as if it had been broken. If
she had any power over herself at the moment she would have cried or screamed
out her pain. Her power thrummed inside her screaming at her, blinding her with
its urgency.
“Kagome?” Both brothers had seen her freeze in mid motion.
Her mouth was opened a touch and her eyes were wide and unseeing. She shivered
and reached her hand out to Sesshomaru. She shook it and opened and closed it
until he placed his clawed palm in hers.
She needed
something, needed something to break from this feeling. It felt like she was
going to die, or explode. She couldn’t move and couldn’t think beyond the
instinct to fight. But fight what? What was wrong? She forced her body to move
and finally her body let go enough for her to move an arm. The stress of it had
sweat beading on her forehead as she silently begged Sesshomaru to take her
hand.
When he did everything inside her melted.
It was like
going from being out in the cold to being tucked into a warm bed. Everything in
her relaxed and she let a sigh escape her lips as she let herself drop to her
butt. An arm had wrapped around her back to make sure she didn’t fall backward.
“What’s wrong?”
Sesshomaru asked as his eyes darted around the clearing for trouble.
Kagome licked
her lips and swallowed a few times. “I don’t know. It must be because of how
much energy I used. I’m so weak my control is shaky. I think… I think something
big is coming. Something strong. Get them away, have
Ah-Un get them away.” She turned into Sesshomaru’s arms gathering strength from
him. “It’s so evil… so evil…”
“Jaken, take Rin
and leave here with Ah-Un.” The toad began stuttering. “Now
Jaken.” Jaken grabbed Rin’s hand and they quickly jumped atop Ah-Un who
then took to the sky taking them far from the clearing.” Sesshomaru’s
eyes flicked to Inuyasha’s who had taken a step forward to help his old
pack mate. “Naraku.” He told him.
Inuyasha scowled
as a dark cloud exploded over the clearing. The three remaining figures covered
their mouths until the cloud faded away leaving behind a baboon covered man to
stand in front of them. They could see his smirk under the fanged mouth of the
baboon head. A wicked chuckle drifted across the clearing. Sesshomaru tightened
his grip on the girl in his arms as she began shivering uncontrollably.
“Well, well,
well. Sesshomaru taking care of another ningen? How strange.” The baboon turned its large white head to face
the younger brother. “How do you feel about that, eh Inuyasha? He’s touching your woman isn’t he?” His smirk widened.
“Or did Sesshomaru beat you to the punch?” Inuyasha began to growl and took a
step forward.
“No, Inuyasha,
don’t fall to his games.” The shaking Kagome looked up at Inuyasha. He looked
back down at her and she watched his eyes pinch in worry. She smiled at him. “I
think something’s wrong.” She said weakly. Her vision was getting blurry and
the colors were graying. She tried to stop her shaking but it was like she was
having a fit. She tried to grip onto Sesshomaru’s haori and found that she
could barely hang on, she was so weak. Her breath started to quicken as the
world started to spin.
“Inuyasha?” She whimpered, “Sesshomaru?” Her shaking started
getting more violent causing Sesshomaru to grip her even tighter.
He glared at
Naraku. “What have you done?”
Naraku merely
grinned. “Used a lot of spiritual powers, huh? Tsk, tsk, tsk. How can you
defend yourself from basic attacks if you use all your power on someone else?”
Kagome started coughing violently and he laughed. “Don’t worry,
it won’t be so bad soon.”
Kagome gripped
Sesshomaru’s shirt as hard as she could and tried to focus on his face.
“Please.” She whispered, “Please, I don’t want to die. Don’t let him kill me.
Not now.” Her eyes started to dim, “Not now.” Her voice drifted off and she
went limp in his arms. Panic fluttered in his chest but he clamped it down. He
buried his nose into her hair and sniffed. She was still alive, merely
unconscious. He sniffed again and decided her smell was stable. He brought his
ear to her heart and listened to it slow its beat to a steady rhythm. He looked
up to his brothers desperate eyes.
“She lives. She
is stable.” He looked at the evil hanyou. “She’s already fighting back.”
Naraku clucked.
“Guess she’s gotten stronger, oh well.” Naraku’s pelt rippled before tentacles
shot out from underneath flying at the two brothers. Inuyasha whipped out the
Tessaiga as Sesshomaru released Tokijin. Both brothers jumped in opposite
directions and fought their way to Naraku. Without their realizing it, they
moved in perfect synch with each other, mirroring each others moves and
fighting together as if it was the most natural thing in the world for them.
Naraku noticed
it and raised an eyebrow as he continued his onslaught. He dodged every bodily
attack while dealing minor damage to the brothers. Sesshomaru had grown
stronger but Inuyasha had grown weaker. Naraku assumed it was because of that
girl. The girl that was so like and so very unlike his human
hearts obsession.
It didn’t matter
how close they got or how many tentacles they removed. All of them knew they
were fighting a mere puppet, but it was stronger than the rest and quicker as
well. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha moved as close to the puppet as they could and
felt each other out. A small thrill shot through them and they both attacked
the puppet from different sides leaving no room for the creature to escape.
With a single
slash they destroyed the puppet and its body vanished in a swift explosion of
dust. The brothers looked at each other. Inuyasha felt a swell of pride at
being able to keep up with his elder brother and being able to fight beside him
without looking like a rash fool. Sesshomaru nodded towards his brother. He had
done well.
They both turned
when they heard chuckling behind them.
“I must say I am
surprised. You two working together? Hell must have frozen
over. It must be because of this girl.” The real Naraku looked down at the
unconscious girl in his arms. “She is beautiful, I must say. I believe I’ll see
for myself what you two see in her.” He looked up at them with an evil smirk.
“Don’t worry, I’ll only take a few tastes, I probably won’t break her
completely.” His smile darkened. “Probably.” Both
brothers leapt at him as he disappeared into darkness with laughter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pain was the
first thing she was aware of. Her chest ached and her body felt like she had
spent all day training with Sesshomaru. Her head was beating ferociously with
her heart spearing through her brain with every thump, thump.
But the sound of
the thump, thump in her splitting head was almost enough to make her smile.
From what she could recall, the last thought in her head was something about
not wanting to die which meant she had been close to dying and that lovely
pained thump, thump was proof that she was alive.
She ran her
tongue over her fuzzy feeling teeth as she started to sit up. When she realized
that she couldn’t move her eyes flung open only to be closed immediately to
fight back the pain of the minimal light in the room she was in. She scrunched
her eyes closed as the quick view she got made itself
known to her.
It was a dark
room made of stone. There were a few tables around and lots of metal. She squinted her eyes open again to get more details. When it
sank in she felt her heart skip a beat.
She was in a
dungeon.
Or something close to it. There were chains hanging from the
walls and the tables. There were what could only be torture devices lined up
neatly on one of the tables going from the smallest instrument (about the size
of a pinky nail) to the largest (four feet long and six inches wide). She
didn’t know what they were for or what they could do with their teeth, handles
and screws.
Hell she didn’t want to know.
Kagome looked at
what she was apparently up against seeing as she was upright. Her arms were
tied down above her head and her legs were tied in a V formation. There was a
leather piece tied across her belly pressing her against what appeared to be an
inverted table. She sighed in relief as she realized she was still wearing her
clothes.
She knew where
she was, she wasn’t a fool. Something hadn’t gone well and now she was at the
mercy of Naraku. She looked up when she heard his anticipatory chuckle.
Yes, something
had definitely gone very wrong.
