InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ As Fate Would Have It ❯ Chapter 10: The Calm, Before The Storm ( Chapter 10 )

Chapter 10: The Calm, Before the Storm

 

The streetlights lit up the car every once in a while as Inuyasha drove them down the highway. Not much conversation had passed between the two, much like the ride on the way there. Inuyasha was not mad at her, but Kagome felt guilty. He had been helping her so much and had no idea what the cause was.

 

“All this started when I met a man named Naraku.” She muttered in a blur.

 

Inuyasha slammed on the brakes, sending them both forward choking against the seatbelts.

 

“How the hell would you know that name?” He all but shouted at her. Kagome closed her eyes feeling self-conscious. She glanced up at the highway to see a car barely missing them. It honked angrily as it passed by them.

 

“INUYASHA! You can't just stop in the middle of the highway.” Kagome screamed. Inuyasha huffed applying the gas speeding up once again, getting off at the next exit. He kept going before getting at the end of the street and made a left into a local park. He stopped the car a top a hill where they were over-looking the city.

 

Kagome was sure they looked liked two kids who stopped to screw in the car. She blushed at the thought of doing something so intimate in the car. But, not before cursing her self for having such thoughts in the first place.

 

“I should of expected something. Hiten is in his gang. That Juromaru guy reeked of him? Kagome I cant help you if you don't talk to me. Tell me what it is that happened with you and Naraku.” Inuyasha demanded again with a serious tone and face to match it. He turned off the car and slipped the keys from the ignition.

 

Kagome glanced at him feeling extremely suffocated. She opened the door and allowed the chilly night air in, to cool her skin. Inuyasha got the idea and too followed Kagome out of the car. She sat on a worn wooden bench that sat at the beginning of the hiking trail. Inuyasha followed suet and sat next to her slouching in the bench.

 

“Sango moved here about a year ago right?” Kagome said more than asked. Inuyasha nodded for her to continue. “ My mother passed away ten months ago. My brother went to live with my aunt. She wasn't able to take both of us in seeing how she lived in The United States. So I opted to live with my grandpa at his shrine. It didn't bother me much. I went to school came home and worked the shrine, then would go to work at the diner. Occasionally Rin and I would hang out. I kept in touch with Sango what little I could.” Kagome paused for a moment looking over at Inuyasha who watched her intently. She blushed slightly at the intense look in his eyes and continued. “You see I never really had time for a boyfriend. But I guess I caught the eye of this one guy that came to the diner frequently.”

 

“Naraku.” Inuyasha spat looking out into the horizon. The sun would probably be coming out in three or four hours. Meaning it was probably three or so in the morning

 

“Yea.” She whispered.

 

“So…?” He asked looking back up at her. Her bangs covered her face as if she was in shame. “He began to follow me. At first he was really sweet, I actually kind of liked him. I thought it was a simple crush more than a stalker deal.” She laughed at how wrong she had been. “He asked me out yea know. We went to this expensive diner. Everyone at the table looked real professional. But, they all had this cold look in their eyes. I didn't understand why we were going on a date with other people there.”

 

“He took you to a gang meeting didn't he?” Inuyasha interrupted again. “And to think it didn't take me that long to figure that one out. He threatened me. Saying if I told about it to anyone then he'd kill me. He also proclaimed that I then was his woman. He told me once things settled down he was going to make me part of his gang. Whatever that meant.” She paused. The shiver of disgust that went through Inuyasha with her last statement went unnoticed.

 

“So he kept an eye on me everyday for almost a month and a half. I was scared I didn't know what else to do. I finally told Rin despite his threat and she did all she could do help. Then about two weeks ago he began to put moves on me. I of course said no and resisted. Then four days ago.” She placed her hand over her stomach trying to hold back her weak tears. She felt Inuyasha lace his clawed fingers in-between hers.

 

“That bruise on you stomach. I saw it when I dressed you after the attack from Hiten. Naraku did it not Hiten.” He murmured. “I'd say you know him pretty well seeing how you guessed must of this story.” She laughed a sadistic broken laugh.

 

I thought of fear passed Inuyasha after thinking a moment. “Wait I can smell. He didn't- that is I mean he never uh-.”

 

“Raped me?” Kagome finished his sentence this time. “No he tried. After un-wantingly dropping me off at home. It happened in the kitchen. I was pinned.” She cracked the tears slipping down her cheek. “After he hit me a few times. I stopped resisting. I couldn't fight him. I thought maybe if he thought I was giving up I could catch him off guard. He had me pinned on the counter. So I reached for the drawer on the side of the counter. All I could reach was a vegetable knife. I stabbed him Inuyasha, right through the chest. He let go of me to pull the knife out. So I rolled of the counter and ran as fast as I could. I went to the grocery store across the street. Rin came to pick me up and got me the tickets for the bus to come to Tokyo. I called Sango and hoped to start over.” She buried her head in her hands. “I felt so disgusting. I still feel vile. His hands. He touched me, anywhere he pleased. Hit me, bruised me, made me bleed all he wanted. No matter how many times I bathe it won't go away.”

 

Inuyasha had heard enough. His blood was boiling. He stood up off the bench and kneeled down in front of Kagome grabbing her on either side of her shoulder. He shook her slightly to get her attention. “Kagome it won't happen again.” He whispered trying to soothe her in some way. He was at a lost damnit. He didn't know how to handle situations like this.

 

Kagome laughed almost psychotically. “I'm a walking hurricane Inuyasha. He already found me. Four days Inuyasha, it only took him four days. Now he's gone after Rin. Oh, my god he'll try to go after Sango too. How can you be so sure he won't get to me?” She all but shouted. Inuyasha caught her mouth in a gentle kiss that only lasted for a minute. “Because I won't let him damnit.” Inuyasha spoke solemnly never wavering in his eye contact with Kagome's surprised tear stained eyes. (woohoo! this is where Eve 6 - Here's to the night begins) “Look, trust me. I promise.” He whispered.

 

Kagome's heart burst. How was this possible? Why did he make her feel this way? How? She launched herself forward wrapping her arms around his neck in a tight embrace. She wanted to trust him she wanted to let him help her. To save her, the way she wanted to be saved. But most of all she wanted to love him more than anything.

 

“How could you be in a gang? How could anyone call you ruthless? You're both completely different.” She questioned shaking her head side to side.

 

Inuyasha chuckled. “The gang life is all I've ever known. As far as being ruthless you should see me really pissed. Although for some reason I've felt a lot kinder than usual in the last three days. That I think is your fault.” He sighed. “But no matter what I need to stay tough for the gang. I know now Naraku will try to attack us more than ever. He wants you and Rin. He'll find anything he can to use against us. The gang, my gang are major rivals with Naraku. We, I can protect you. You just have to listen and let me…”

 

Kagome nodded releasing her death grip on his neck. “Well, I guess we should be getting back. I bet Rin and Sesshomaru are almost there. Besides we left Miroku and Sango so abruptly they might be getting worried. ” Kagome spoke softly. She turned heal and made her way to the car. Inuyasha grabbed her arm before she could get far turning her back around.

 

“Yea well the bastards can wait.” He whispered against her lips. “I think you might be the only person I know who can say that and try to make it sound meaningful.” Kagome laughed. Inuyasha silenced her laughing with his lips in a much more passionate kiss than earlier. His hands trailed down the side of her waist coming to the small of her back. He pushed her more firmly against his body nimbly a little more aggressive against her lips. Kagome trailed her hand up his solid rock hard chest resting on his neck right below his chin. Inuyasha moaned then changed the angle of the kiss in hopes of delving deeper. Kagome complied opening her lips slightly. It was all he needed to snake his rough hot tongue into her sweet mouth. They battled it out for a few minutes seeing who could get one foot up on dominance. After Inuyasha gently pushed her against the bench and lay against her Kagome new she had lost. But hell what a way to go. He couldn't get enough of her taste. If it was up to him and air wasn't a factor he could of stayed lip locked with her all morning. But, alas he broke the kiss for a well needed breathe. Kagome was in the same panting state.

 

“Fuck why do you make me want to do that.” He thought out loud.

 

“Sorry I'll try and tone it down a little more” She paused breathing in deeply, “seeing how you just can't keep up with me.” She teased smiling up at him once he raised his eyebrow.

 

“Did our little Kagome just make a sexual innuendo?” He questioned playfully pushing her.

 

“I think our Inuyasha might be getting a little sharper.” She giggled. “Amazing what using your head can do.” He eyes sparkled with mischief.

 

“Ouch, might have to punish you for that one.” He whispered against her lips.

 

 

 

 

 

Rin was somewhat in a daze. One minute she was on the ground bleeding and consoling her friend the next she was in this gods arms. She knew she shouldn't stare cause it was rude. But man at that minute she knew what that person meant who said love at first sight.

 

Sesshomaru was well aware that she was watching him intently. He could almost haughtily smirk at the thought that she was mewing over him. He almost wanted the beautiful creatures attention.

 

“I am glad that by merely looking at me you are able to amuse yourself girl.” He spoke attempting at sounding irritated with her.

 

Rin blushed and thought a second before replying. “When given something pretty to look at you might tend to stare.” She mused absently

 

Sesshomaru was slightly taken aback. Pretty? “This Sesshomaru is not pretty. Pretty is for that of a women such as yourself.” He spoke not even realizing the complement he had given.

 

“Well this Rin thinks a man could be pretty, but if you'd rather I say you are handsome I could go with that.” She smiled at the eyebrow raising reaction he gave her, do to the way in which she replied. “What? When you refer to yourself in the third person it sounds rather irritating does in not?” She asked defensively.

 

Sesshomaru growled so lowly it sounded like a purr. “Are you that of an idiot? Do you not know who it is you just simply insulted?” Sesshomaru asks incredulously.

 

Rin giggled, “Oh wait I know this,” She took a deep breath contemplating. “ I do believe you are the Great Sesshomaru. Oh how I am sorry I insulted you a Lord Sesshomaru.” She giggled again

 

Sesshomaru had no clue why but he smirked at her antics. It was strange that such a girl human nonetheless was bringing him enjoyment. “Aw, I do think you finally graced me with a smile Sessy. You should do it more often.” Rin giggled once again.

 

The toad we had come to know, as Jaken stood with the door open to the giant limo.

 

“Jaken, we are to go to Inuyasha's club and then you may return to the mansion.” Sesshomaru ordered.

 

“Yes my lord, But what is it that is in your arms.” He asked curious. He sniffed the air a few time and coughed. “ A pathetic human wench my lord. Do you intend to take her with us?” He asked confused

 

Sesshomaru looked down upon Jaken with an utter look of annoyance. “Do you dare question me?” He asked the servant.

 

“No, no of course not my lord!” Jaken shook violently.

 

“I did not think so.” Sesshomaru seethed kicking over Jaken who was in the path of entering the limo. Sesshomaru entered with Rin still in his arms.

 

“Oh, the pain I must endure.” Jaken screeched standing from the ground and shutting the limo. He wobbled over to the front seat and started up the limo and headed for their destination.

 

Sesshomaru sat in the leather-finished seat with Rin still nestled against his chest. “ I do have a question for you?” Sesshomaru asked

 

Rin opened her eyes, lifting her head from his warm broad chest. She was exhausted and wished nothing more than to fall asleep against him. Despite the way she felt she still put on a smile. “ Well I do believe I would have an answer.” She whispered.

 

“Why is it that Naraku would of sent Juromarue after you? What connection do you and that girl that is with my half twit brother have with him?” He asked stoically.

 

Rin sighed leaning her head against him. “It's a long story you know.” She felt him shift slightly and circle his arm more snuggly around her waist. “Well it will take a while before we reach our destination.” He replied. She smiled and began the story

 

 

Miroku stretched on the couch in the main living room. Sango was nestled against him half asleep. He glanced at his watch that was reading close to four in the morning.

 

“Hm, You know they say the more you look at a clock the slower the time will pass.” Sango whispered with a yawn.

 

Miroku gave an exasperated growl. “You know I am growing quite tired of being left in the dark. We could have gone with them. I want to know what in the hells is going on. As second in command I have every right.”

 

Sango raised her hands to draw lazy soothing circles on his chest. “I understand how you feel Miroku. But, as second in command it only seems right that you are able to be left in charge of the club right?” She asked somewhat incoherent.

 

Miroku nods in reply and lets out a deep exasperating sigh.

 

“Besides, I wonder if Sesshomaru ever found Inuyasha. I couldn't believe he actually came to the club.” She mumbled.

 

Miroku listens intently glancing at the hallway leading out of the giant living room. “Well I do believe I will be able to ask him myself.” He grumbled as the door opened with Inuyasha and Kagome walking through it.

 

“Oh, my, what happened to you?” Sango all but shouted wide-awake. She got off the couch and went strait towards Inuyasha. His body black thermal shirt was all torn up with equally torn jeans in various patches. His body also had a few cuts here and there that were already healed or almost healed. She surveyed Kagome who looked to be okay. She looked frazzled and had a few bruises.

 

Miroku stood there surveying the two with a raised eyebrow. He sniffed the air a bit and cracked a smile without a word.

 

“We um, well” Kagome stuttered trying to properly put an explanation together.

 

“We went to pick up a girl named Rin who was in trouble much like Kagome.” Inuyasha replied bluntly.

 

Sango's eyes widened. “Rin. Our Rin? High School year below you Rin?” she asked. “What kind of trouble was she in? Wait what kinds of trouble are you even Kagome? You know we never really talked about it.” She questioned all at once.

 

Kagome groaned who was currently leaning against Inuyasha. “I'm surprised Rin didn't tell you everything that happened.” She replied.

 

“Well considering that she isn't here yet makes it a little hard.” Sango replied slightly confused.

 

Kagome leaned away from Inuyasha and looked at Sango with and equally confused look. “You mean that they haven't gotten here yet? You don't think that something happened do you Inuyasha?” She asked him slightly panicked.

 

Inuyasha's ears perked up slightly and he turned to glance out the door that him and Kagome had just exited. “Nah, actually I would say everything was just fuckin fine.”

 

“Quite indeed. I would say the door swings both way Inuyasha.” Miroku added who was still amusingly quite.

 

“What are you talking about?” Sango asked. She looked at the gleam of mischief in Miroku's eyes.

 

“Inadequate chatter.” The smooth and poise Sesshomaru spoke walking through the door with Rin asleep in his arms. She was covered by his long business suit and snoring lightly.

 

“Is she okay?” Sango asked alarmed and not seeing the girl in a long time, and finding her in the arms of one of the most ruthless people she knew, and unconscious at that.

 

Sesshomaru sighed in absolute aggravation. “She is merely asleep.” He retorted straight to the point. “She talked to me over the matters in which concerned you and Naraku.” He beamed directly to Kagome. “So now I have grown curious of what it is that is so special of you. Why would someone such as Naraku want a mere human so bad.”

 

Kagome thought about it for a second in contemplation. That thought had never crossed her mind. Surely there was a reason that he had wanted her right? But why? Hell she didn't know. She was just an ordinary girl right. Sometimes she felt dizzy and fainted after concentrating hard. But that wasn't anything special. Certainly not something that would benefit him.

 

Inuyasha watched the different emotions cross her face. He was ti9red and irritated with all the questions. “Look lets all go to bed and talk about this in the morning.” He orderes.

 

“I do believe that is the best idea that you have had all day Inuyasha. However, do to all the trauma and people after Kagome and Rin I do believe they should not stay alone. There is more than plenty of room in Sango and I room.” He smirked his infamous lecherous smile.

 

“That's a great idea Miroku.” Sango countered.

 

“It is?” He asked a little suspicious.

 

“Of course, Rin and Kagome could stay in our room with me and I guess you can sleep with Inuyasha.” She shot back at him.

 

Miroku made a face of pure disgust that perfectly matched Inuyasha's. “Now do not be rash my dear Sango I am not about to leave you alone either. Naraku has every motivation to go after you as well. And just because you have proven yourself a worthy fighter, does not mean you can fend of a demon while being caught off guard asleep.”

 

Sesshomaru becoming bored turns walking off with Rin still sound asleep in his arms.

 

“And just where the fuck do you think your goin?” Inuyasha snapped.

 

“The guest quarters. I do believe I remember there being a spare apartment.” Sesshomaru churned. Inuyasha cut him off from entering the stairs “What about the girl?” He inquired. Sesshomaru's brow rose in skepticism, “Is it not apparent.”

 

Inuyasha growled with his brother's abrupt answer. “I don't understand it. You hate humans. Why is it your scent is all over that girl.”

 

“Am I the scoundrel her brother? I do recall the unmistakable scent that covers your bitch over there.” He spat eyeing Kagome who looked at the two confused. “She has been through quite a bit has she not? You wouldn't be taking advantage of her I wonder. Maybe to work out your own sexual frustration?” He mused with entertainment at Inuyasha's look of revulsion.

 

“Take it back yea asshole.” He growled wanting badly to hit his stoic brother of his.

 

Sesshomaru smirked only slightly and moved around Inuyasha with quick agility that he was not able to match. “My affairs are of none of your concern.” He continued up the stairs that would lead to the hallway of rooms.

 

Sango sat with her eyes the size of saucers. What the hell? Inuyasha's scent on Kagome, Sesshomaru's scent all over Rin? These two were like sisters to her. She left them at home so they wouldn't be involved in this. And now the two biggest merciless gang leaders in Tokyo had their `scents' all over them. If things keep going this way then they really would be related to her. The thought both worried and joyed her.

 

“Keh. Come on Kagome guess your stuck with me.” Inuyasha stipulated. He grabbed hold of her wrist and began dragging her in the direction that Sesshomaru had just gone. “Wait come again?” She asked agitated pulling her wrist away from his hand.

 

“I'm sorry maybe I need to say this a little slower for you. We, being me and you, are going to bed.” He stated slowly.

 

“But-.” She protested. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and picked her up throwing her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. “INUYASHA!! Put me down. Are you listening to me?” Kagome screamed beating on his back with her fists. Miroku and Sango both watched the two argued all the way up the stairs.

 

They looked at each other confused. “What the hell is going on?” Sango asked.

 

“Only time will tell.” Miroku muttered.

 

`time huh…' thought Sango. Huh?

 

SLAP

 

“MIROKU!!! That's it you're sleeping on the couch!!” She yelled at the lecher currently on the floor.

 

Sesshomaru knew of the club really well. It wasn't hard to find the empty apartment like room that his brother, cousin along with his women stayed in. The conversation with his brother still rang through his head like an obnoxious fly. So what if he took fancy to the girl. It was not like she was his mate or anything. He was not his father.

 

He entered the room with ease. Like most of the rooms it was furnished with a living room, bedroom and kitchen. The walls were painted a dark blue. The couch and arm chairs were made of the sleekest white silk. A black marbled coffee table sat in between the couch and a plasma television. He walked towards the couch and sat the angle in his arms down. Although trying to be gentle she still woke.

 

He too sat beside her with out a word. “Where are we?” She asked with a yawn.

 

“We are at the club. This is an apartment like room that we are staying at for the night.” Her replied.

 

“Oh.” Was her only answer. Instead she looked around interested. The apartment was amazing. Everything looked so expensive. The room was so clean that she was sure she could eat off the floor. It even smelled clean. The couch was made of down feathers and was like lying on air. “So what happens now? I mean won't Naraku try and come after Kagome and I?” she posed a little more serious with worry.

 

Sesshomaru did not like the way she sounded. She should not have to worry. He liked it much more when she was carefree, innocent, and well childish. It made the air seem so much more comfortable. “You are safe.” He whispered.

 

She smiled at the comfort. “Um,” She whispered blushing slightly. “Would you take offence if I asked if I could lye in your lap?” she requested softly.

 

His eyes widened a bit but he scoffed the emotions away. “Do as you will.”

 

Rin smiled and lay across the couch using his thigh closer to her as a pillow. She snuggled against the comfortable couch.

 

“You are a strange one.” He decided aloud. “Right back at you.” She yawned yet again. “Didn't you ever lay on you mothers lap as a boy?” She asked closing her eyes.

 

“I barely knew my mother, let alone lowering myself to lay on her lap.” Sesshomaru answered coldly.

 

“It's the only time I ever felt absolutely safe. I have the same feeling now.” She whispered. Sesshomaru watched her as her breathing stilled to long drawn out breaths. He thought about the strange girl through out the whole night.

 

 

“INUYASHA!! Put me down right now!!! Kagome screamed. She should have been careful for what she asked for the next moment she found herself dropped on the ground. And lets just say that her butt wasn't appreciating it too well.

“Inuyasha I can't stay with you.” She argued defiantly.

 

“What its not like you haven't slept with me before. Why are you getting all bashful? We ain't gonna fuck I'm too tired.” He teased.

 

“INUYASHA!!!!” She yelled enough to shake the house. Her face tinged bright red at the thought. With Inuyasha.

 

“Come on I was just joking. You're always so damn serious. Let's go to bed if I'm actually tired then you must be dying.” He grabbed her hand and hoister her easily off the ground

 

“b-but its not proper.” She scolded.

 

“Your in a fucking gang. Fuck proper.” He retaliated.

 

“You know shit, fuck, damn, ass, and bitch take up half of you vocab. I should really look in to getting you a collar that punishes you every time you curse. You won't be a happy camper.” Kagome walked down the hall going into the spare bedroom and slammed the door causing Inuyasha to jump slightly.

 

He simply fehed and stalked off to bed.

 

Kagome sat in the freshly made bed. She snuggled into it. Although it wasn't as soft as Inuyasha's it still felt like fur. She contemplated what they were going to do now. At least everyone was safe. She closed her eyes and instantly fell asleep.

 

 

 

 

Author Note: Which is exactly what I am going to do right now because I am exhausted. Its 12:50. I really wanted to finish this so I made myself. So if some of the wording is wrong sorry. This was majorly just info about the characters and setting up chapter. It was about time we kinda got personal with the people. It was also a fluffy cute chapter. I really wanna develop on Sesshomaru and Rin's relationship cause they are just too fun to mess with. I'm also hoping that everyone is somewhat in character. I think im a little off on sessy and inu. Inuyasha I think may be a little to brash at times. But I did that cause well he's a gang leader. And Sesshomaru just seemed to take a liking to Rin rather fast. But I do suppose he did that in the series so im not to off. Oh well let me know. Please review they have really been keeping me going and feeding me ideas. Again if there are any ideas or things you all want to see in this story please o please let me know. It really honestly helps me. Well Its not 12:53. buhbye.
