Chapter 9: Save Me

 

 

“Rin?” Kagome asked with desperation written all over her face. Inuyasha watched her features become troubled intently.

 

“Oh my, gods, Kagome. I-I didn't know wh-.” She paused erupting into a fit of coughs filled with the choking sound of her crying. “I-im sorry. Kagome I didn't know w-who else to call.” She finished taking a well-needed deep breath.

 

Kagome began to pace uneasily, “Shh, Rin come on calm down a little. Take a few more deep breaths.” Kagome glanced up at Inuyasha who was watching her like a hawk. It made her feel a little more nervous. She gazed down at the ground to avoid his intense glare. She staggered numbly towards the couch.

 

“How did you get this number? I don't understand how you found me. I haven't talked to you yet, since I left Rin.” Kagome whispered to the broken girl. The couch shifted slightly as Inuyasha sat quietly next to her, placing his feet up on the coffee table in front of them.

 

“Oh, Kagome he knows. They know about the bar you work at, where you live. They even know about Sango and everything. I passed by them at the coffee shop I work at and heard everything. And then he, they, and…” Rin stopped, breaking down once more.

 

Kagome sat stunned for the moment. Nothing really came to mind; she was a blank. What was she suppose to say? Hell, what could she say? Unknown to her Inuyasha's keen sense of hearing picked up on every detail and sob from her friend.

 

What the hell is going on was all that was racing through Inuyasha's head. The far off look of worry in Kagome's eyes began to fuel the anger in him. Something was seriously wrong.

 

Kagome coughed clearing her throat before speaking to her friend once again. “ Rin, he, your alright, n-nothing, er, I mean? Kagome incoherently choked. She closed her eyes trying to pull herself together. Damnit, she was not going to be weak. She could be strong. “This is all my fault Rin. I should of never left. Gods I should of known. Where are you?”

 

“My apartment Kagome.” Rin whispered.

 

“Stay put! Lock your doors and windows. Do not answer the door for anyone, until I call you. Got it? I'm dead serious Rin!” Kagome spoke solemnly a plan beginning to form in her mind,

 

“But, Kagome, You can't. That's exactly what he wants.” Rin gasped protesting her friends help.

 

“No buts! I'll see you in three, no two hours. I'll hurry.” Kagome finished hanging up the phone. She stood to her feet and made her way towards the front door.

 

Inuyasha cut her off before she could even reach the door. Thus irritating her further.

 

“Move.” She coldly seethed.

 

“No.” Inuyasha spoke colder, “ What the hell is going on? I want to know now.” He ordered.

 

“Move Inuyasha please.” She shouted trying to pass him as her façade rapidly dissolved. Inuyasha stood his ground and blocked her from the door.

 

Kagome frustrated pushed against him with all her strength. The attempt however, was in vain seeing how he never even budged. Becoming more aggravated Kagome began to beat against his firmly muscled chest. She pushed against him yet and yet again. Inuyasha placed his hands lightly on the small of her back trying to still her movements.

 

“Let go of me. Leave me alone. You don't understand.” She shouted struggling even harder. Inuyasha tightened his arms around her waist even snugger, he allowed her to beat out his frustration against his chest. He strength slowly faded, as her fist could no longer beat against him. She cried silently trying to hide it from him the best she could.

 

“I have to get her Inuyasha.” She mumbled against his chest. “What am I going to tell Sango? Oh my gods Inuyasha.” She tightened her grip around the hanyous neck. She felt so degraded holding on to him like a second lifeline. But all she wanted was to get closer and seek out all the comfort he had to offer. After Sango left, that last year had been so terrible. She had gone through so much, some of it alone and some with Rin. She hadn't ever felt this way before. Of course being with Inuyasha for the two days she has, had created a lot of `firsts' in her life. Working in a bar, slow dancing, grinding, and her first kiss. And damn what a kiss that was. Not to mention he had protected her like a night and shining armor. Its like she was in love or something.

 

Love?

 

No way that wasn't possible. It couldn't be, no she wasn't in love. They just met it just was not humanly possible. Kagome shook of the thought snuggling against Inuyasha again.

 

As he continued to hold her, his thoughts wandered as well. The feelings that seeped through Inuyasha were beyond foreign. Comforting someone was something that he had never really had to worry about. Oddly though he found himself wanting to comfort Kagome. Lately he had been having these same feelings for her. `Damn, I'm going soft. I'm going extremely soft. But, I just don't want her to cry.

 

“Look Kagome.” Inuyasha spoke finally breaking the silence. “Like it or not your involved with this gang. Member or not my scent is all over you. Demons will attack you for that you know.” He smirked down at the blushing girl. His face returned to a stern look. “Going out and making rash decisions in your mental and physical state is suicide. You haven't even really slept in the last twenty-four hours.” He finished her sobs finally coming to a stop.

 

“Well neither have you.” Kagome retaliated rubbing her swollen eyes.

 

“Demon.” He replied in a wishy washy tone smirking at her annoyance.

 

“Well, first I'll get Rin then I'll sleep.” Kagome snapped looking down at her feet self-consciously. “um, you know Inuyasha, If you want I mean if you would-.”

 

“Come on, Let's go.” Inuyasha tugged her arm to follow him. “But on the way there yea have some explaining to do.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

The clubroom was dark and gloomy. A dark looking man looked ahead of him with a demoness bowing down at him.

 

“It appears Hiten failed my lord.” The women crouched down wearing a ceremonial kimono and had her hair in a tight bun with a stray of feathers sticking out of it.

 

“Is that so. That girls powers haven't yet awaken have they?” he asked sending chills down the demoness spine.

 

“I think it is possible. B-but she was aided by I-Inuyasha my lord.” She spoke shakily staring down upon the ground.

 

The man cackled hideously. “You know my dear Kagura emotions are a strange thing. So easy to manipulate, let us have some fun. I do believe it will work to our advantage.” He grinned evilly.

 

 

 

 

A limo waited outside of a magnificent white-bricked mansion. The courtyard that surrounded it was filled with various colors of flowers. A man with long white tresses who looked abnormally feminine descended with the utmost grace down the stairs of the front door.

 

“Lord Sesshomaru, my lord.” A small toad like demon yelled chasing after the god. He clumsily fell down the stoned steps landing within feet of the demon. Sesshomaru looked at the toad with a serene disgust.

 

“What is it Jaken?” He asked his face never wavering an expression.

 

“My lord I was not able to reach your bastard of a brother. I would say he was not at the club.” The toad spoke hoping to avoid punishment from his lord.

 

“Is that so. Then I do believe he will be in for a surprise.” Sesshomaru spoke stepping into the limo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kagome sat in the passengers' seat of a deep blood red corvette. She watched what little she could see in the dark sitting in an uncomfortable silence with Inuyasha. Despite the uncomfortable silence he had been driving pretty fast. At this rate they would be there any minute. An hour and a half had passed. She felt ashamed telling him about what she had left back at the home. Part of her was curious to what he would think.

 

Inuyasha had been patient for once thinking if he kept pushing her then she would become more defiant. But enough was enough he was getting irritable. “So? What the hell.” he finally said glancing over to her. Kagome met his gaze as well.

 

“um…” Kagome mumbled.

 

“Yea know Kagome I heard your friend over the phone. This might strike you as odd but maybe I'm feeling generous and might want to help. I can't however if I don't know what the hell is wrong.” He finished.

 

“Inuyasha…” She whispered smiling softly. The car stopped abruptly sending her forward hard against the seat belt. Before Kagome could ask him what the big deal was Inuyasha was out of the car.

 

Inuyasha reached into his back pocket pulling out a golden-silvered 45. “Get down and don't move one step out of this car. Got it.” Inuyasha yelled the hair on the back of his neck rising slightly as he cocked the gun reading it for fire. He knew this foul stench from anywhere. It was enough to make him puke.

 

A scream knocked him out of his thoughts. His first instinct was Kagome, except the scream came from the opposite of the street.

 

A delicate looking girl was running down the sidewalk. She looked strangely identical to Kagome. The only difference was her hair hit her shoulders and was straight. She wore a light pair of blue jeans with a deep blue sweater. She had a deep gash in her thigh drenching the left side of her jeans. Other various cuts were amongst her arms. A deep gash also lay on her cheek but didn't ruin her delicate features. It reminded him of the way Kagome looked when she was attacked.

 

“Rin!!!” Kagome yelled. Rin stopped in her tracks and turned towards the voice.

 

“Kagome!!” She yelled running across the street. She didn't get far before tripping on a pothole falling hard against the pavement.

 

The honking noise of an uncoming semi startled her. She just watched as the bright lights blinded her. She was so scared she couldn't move. Instead she just closed her eyes hoping death would not be painful.

 

Inuyasha moved nimbly and swiftly gathering the tiny girl up in his arms and jumped successfully back towards Kagome. Inuyasha knelt down placing the girl on the ground in front of Kagome.

 

“Rin.” Kagome whispered cradling the girls' head in her lap.

 

“Aww, why thank you Inuyasha for saving me the trouble of finding both of the girls.” A lavender haired demon with cold eyes spoke inaudibly.

 

“Keh. Juromaru. I knew it. You smell just as vile as Naraku. What do you want with them?” Inuyasha demanded raising his 45 up at the demon.

 

Juromaru moved quickly punching Inuyasha square in the jaw. Inuyasha staggered looking up at the demon who was coming at him with another punch. Inuyasha matched it punching Juromaru's fist with his. Juromaru smiled and opened his mouth wide. Inuyasha's eyes widened as pain erupted in his chest as something tore through him.

 

“INUYASHA!!!” Kagome screamed still holding Rin.

 

Inuyasha hunkered over putting his hand to his chest dropping his gun to the ground. “Damnit, should of known. Kageromaru you coward.” Inuyasha spat.

 

“Kagome it's coming.” Rin Screamed.

 

Inuyasha's eyes widened as he tried to get to Kagome. He wouldn't make it he thought still trying with all his might.

 

Kagome closed her eyes and held Rin even tighter. “No, leave us alone.” She shouted. A spark of pink like illuminated from her body casting a shield around the girls. Kageromaru ricocheted off the barrier back into the ground. She opened her eyes slightly and saw Inuyasha wide eyed looking at her.

 

“How?” Inuyasha whispered.

 

“I'll get rid of you first half-breed” Juromaru screamed ramming Inuyasha off the bridge into the rapid river below.

 

“INUYASHA!!!” Kagome screamed standing and running over to the edge. “N-no it's not possible.” She looked up to see Juromaru stalking towards her. She backed up slightly.

 

“Oh, how killing brings me such joy.” He spoke psychotically.

 

“You bastard.” She spat looking at the demon with the utmost hate. He laughed and smacked her hard across the cheek sending her into the wall and unconscious.

 

“Goodbye Kagome.” He whispered racing his claws above his head.

 

Bang.

 

“Stay away from her.” Rin shouted.

 

Bang.

 

The sound of a gun echoed through out the empty streets a second time. Juromaru's eyes widened. He glanced at Rin who was shaking violently holding Inuyasha's gun. Smoke was leaking from the barrel.

 

Juromaru began laughing hysterically confusing both Rin who had shot him twice through the chest. “Do you actually think a shot from a gun would actually kill me? Your aim is poor girl.” He coaxed raising his hand and running towards Rin.

 

She gasped closing her eyes and waiting for death once again. A slight hissing sound though, made her open her eyes. Her hazel eyes widened greatly as she caught sight of snowy white tresses. The man had his claw lodged into the demons stomach. He stood tall and looked lean and yet brawny at the same times. He had two magenta strips on either side of his face and a purple crescent moon on his forehead. His eyes were among the same color of gold of the man who had saved her earlier. He wore a black pinstriped business suit and had draped across his should a large fluffy tail? Or that's what she thought it was. Enough said though, the man was gorgeous.

 

“You vile demon. I had audience with my younger brother who better be alive. For I would of hated to waste my time of trying to find him.” Sesshomaru spoke softly ripping his hand from the demon.

 

Juromaru fell to the ground lifeless. Rin watched her new savior as he turned to pierce her eyes with his golden eyes. He didn't look at her but for a second before he turned away and stalked off towards the edge of the bridge. Rin stood on wobbly legs and made her way towards the stunning demon. Something however caught her eye from the other side of the street.

 

Kageromaru.

 

“Look out!!” She shouted running to her savior as fast as her legs would take her. She pushed against him successfully knocking the demon off balance. A Dull pain raced through her arm as she landed on Sesshomaru.

 

Sesshomaru stood up angrily and looked down at the mere human. He noticed the new laceration in her arm and his eyes widened slightly. He looked around finally catching sight of Kageromaru who was heading towards them once again. With stealth Sesshomaru gathered the girl in his arms, careful of her arm and jumped out of the demons way. He landed close to another fallen girl who was breathing steadily and sat the girl in his arms next to her.

 

Sesshomaru turned to Kageromaru with disgust.

 

“Well what do we have here? The magnificent Sesshomaru has graced us with his appearance. And your what protecting a mere human. I'm confused.” Kageromaru taunted.

 

“My business is none of your concern.” He spoke in his usual monotone voice. Kageromaru cackled and headed towards the demon at an all time speed. Sesshomaru stood his position and watched the demon. Once Kageromaru was with in arms distance Sesshomaru reached out and grabbed him.

 

“H-how did you. That wasn't possible.” Kageromaru mumbled in stalk fear.

 

“This magnificent Sesshomaru has grown tired of you.” Sesshomaru replied with a hint of sarcasm. He tightened his fist crushing the demon in his hand to pieces. Once he was certain Kageromaru was dead Sesshomaru checked to be sure there were not more demons in sight that would pose a threat. He stalked over to the two girls.

 

“Kagome!” Rin called out shaking her slightly. Kagome awoke grabbing her head moaning painfully.

 

“Aww, man I'm going to have a headache for days.” She mumbled. Rin hugged her tightly. “I think for now it's over.” Rin whispered with tears.

 

“Explain yourselves.” Sesshomaru demanded.

 

Both girls looked up at him unsure of where to start.

“Damnit Sess, yea sure took your sweet old time.” A voice called from the far end of the bridge.

 

“Inuyasha!!” Kagome yelled standing up slowly and running over to where he was. Inuyasha stopped staggering towards them upon seeing Kagome. She on the other hand never stopped and collided with him throwing her arms around his neck. Inuyasha used what little strength he had left to not let them fall down.

 

“I thought you were dead you idiot.” She yelled at him tears beginning to from in her eyes.

 

Inuyasha looked at her surprised. Why was she crying for him? She cuddled closer to him causing Inuyasha to smile and return her embrace.

 

“Hey it wasn't like it threw myself off that fucking bridge.” He laughed.

 

Sesshomaru along with Rin watched the whole scene with slight confusion. Rin who was wondering if Kagome and Inuyasha were `together' and after so soon. Sesshomaru questioning when his brother had found a woman.

 

“So Sessy what's the honor.” Inuyasha bellowed as the said two walked towards Sesshomaru and Rin.

 

“Ugh, where are your manners younger brother.” Sesshomaru spoke with indifference.

 

“W-well excuse me Mr. All and Mighty.” Inuyasha screamed.

 

“What's wrong runt are you angered by the fact you couldn't defeat two lackeys.” Sesshomaru taunted.

 

“Grr, SESSHOMARU!!” Inuyasha yelled raising his fists. Kagome grabbed his arm. “ Inuyasha please not now.”

 

“Keh, I'm gonna go start the car.” He muttered walking over to the corvette. Kagome sighed and looked down at Rin. She noticed the deep gash in her arm a gasped. “Rin are you alright.” Kagome bent down to get closer to her arm. Rin covered the cut with her good arm before Kagome could get a good look.

 

“I-it's fine Kagome. Don't worry.” She whispered cheerfully.

 

“How did you get it? Was it Juromaru or that Kageromaru guy?” Kagome persistently questioned.

 

“It doesn't matter what happened. Your alive and I'm alive. Thanks to Inuyasha and well him.” She concluded pointing to Sesshomaru. His eyes were fixed upon hers. Rin couldn't help but blush and just grinned at him.

Sesshomaru couldn't help but stare at the strange human girl. He detested them with everything. All humans' cared about was themselves. Selfish vile creature they were. And yet this mere slip of a girl who did not know him attempted to save him. Not Kageromaru's attack would have killed him. Even with all the pain he as sure her weak body was feeling she just smiled and stayed positive. Something bothered him though, her smell. What was mingled in her smell bothered him to no end.

 

“Do you think you can stand?” Kagome asked grabbing Rin's good arm to try and hoist her forward. “Um, I think so.” Rin assumed uneasily.

 

Before Kagome had a chance to try and elevate Rin a firm hand placed itself upon her shoulder. She turned to see Inuyasha's brother. He pushed her non-to gently away from Rin and proceeded to bend down and pick her up.

 

“This one will ride with this Sesshomaru.” He decided walking away from the scene with Rin in his arms.

 

Kagome watched confused. “Hey wait come back.” She screamed about to chase after Sesshomaru. Another hand at her shoulder stopped her. This time it was Inuyasha who watched after his brother with amusement.

 

“Yea know, that's a little strange.” Inuyasha assessed. “What is?” Kagome asked curiously. “Well yea see Sesshomaru hates humans.” “What? Then shouldn't we get Rin? I mean he wont hurt her will he.” Kagome panicked.

 

“Why would he save her then kill her? I'm not worried Kagome. Come on lets go home.” He gently coaxed directing her to the car.
