Chapter 11

Retrieving Souta

I felt like punching Aunt Ruri in the face. I should've, when she posted up a paper saying my schedule for doing things. Why is she doing it? Because every time Inuyasha would call (which would be every dinner time, he made sure of it) I'd either flip her off or kick one of her 'precious' kids in the shins. But that wasn't the worst of it. The schedule even said when I could use the bathroom!

I sat in my bedroom, listening to music, around the time of my piano lessons, when Aunt Ruri banged on my door.

"TURN DOWN THAT MUSIC!" She yelled. "AND IT'S TIME FOR YOUR LESSONS!" Oh, it seems that I forgot to tell Aunt Ruri about the fact that Miss Grove was scared of this place, and that I would just have piano lessons during school.

"Miss Grove didn't come," I said, casually, while I put the music louder. "HOW'S THAT?!"

"Insolent brat! Your parents spoiled you rotten! They should've beat you until all that insolence was knocked out of you!" Aunt Ruri said. It didn't tick me off. But if she were to come in with a wooden baseball bat to beat me, I'll use the judo that she doesn't know I took last year. She opened the door, and unplugged my stereo.

"Hey, I was listening to that!" I said, plugging it back in. Sure enough, once I got back up to face Aunt Ruri, she raised a hand at me, to slap me. I grabbed her wrist before it hit me, and twisted it painfully.

"You brat! Your parents were worthless! They should've just left you with dogs! You would've learned better!" Ruri yelled. Something in me clicked and I twisted her wrist again.

"Bitch. If you had an inkling of what living with you and your family had done to me and Souta, you would understand why!" I yelled.

"You couldn't stand to be taught how to live right, so you ran off," Ruri taunted. Tell me, is she dense? I still have her wrist in a bone-crushing hold.

"You don't know the real reason. Do you want to know?" I asked. I was gonna tell her... I couldn't keep it inside me anymore. "Your husband! Tell me, when did he go to bed? When did you feel him leave? I know you know he left that night! You know where he went?! He came in my bedroom and raped me!"

"YOU LIAR!" Aunt Ruri said, pulling her wrist out of my hold, and slapped me. "You do nothing but lie!" With that, she left. But it didn't go past me that she had been crying. She realized the truth.

*~*~*

It turns out that Aunt Ruri went into her bedroom to cry.

Around lunchtime, I saw Uncle Naraku come up to me, his eyes lightened. My eyes widened, and I took a step backward.

"What's wrong?" He asked. "There's nothing but good news today!"

"Maybe for you," I spit out. I glared at him. "I told Aunt Ruri what you did!" Uncle Naraku seemed to freeze for a minute.

"But, why are you so angry when I found out that Souta's being transferred to a Richmond hospital tonight?" He asked. I felt my usual smile brighten my face.

"He is?! Really?" I asked.

"Yes, we can go see him after dinner if you like," Uncle Naraku said. I grinned.

"All right!" I yelled, and ran outside to tell the hotel staff who were helping to fix the hotel.

*~*~*

That night, at dinner, Aunt Ruri returned. Inuyasha didn't call. She seemed... like a balance. One more problem on one side would topple her.

"Ready to go, Kagome?" Uncle Naraku asked. I nodded.

"Where are you going?" Aunt Ruri's cold voice asked.

"We're going to see Souta. He just got transferred to a hospital in Richmond," Uncle Naraku said. Aunt Ruri glared at me before eating a little bit more. I ran upstairs to get a thin jacket (it was a little cold) and when I came back downstairs, Uncle Naraku was at the end of the stairs, in a letterman jacket.

"You like it? I got this my senior year," He said, smoothing out the jacket. "I wanted to make sure it still fit me." I nodded, and followed him out to his car.

*~*~*

We were driving on small roads, instead of the interstate.

"Uh, Uncle Naraku? Are we going the right way?" I asked.

"We're going on a shortcut," He answered, driving slightly faster, until he reached a beach. It faced nothing. I couldn't see anything. "You like it?"

"uh..."

"I'm so glad you chose me to go with you for the dance," He said, putting his arm around the chair I was in. "Your voice was so beautiful tonight."

"Uncle Naraku?"

"I have to tell you, Rika, you're the most beautiful girl I have ever seen," He said, reaching over to kiss me. I screamed, and slapped him. He put his arms around me and started to rip my clothes. I screamed, louder, and opened the passenger door, running out.

"Rika!" He yelled. I could still feel him try to rip my clothes. I felt scratches on me, and then, I was pushed on the gravel. I kicked him, in a painful place, and ran off to the closest place I knew of.

Fanfiction.net-

cassandra- I would, if Naraku did something like that. He's just a freak.

Kango- Kikyo's not going after Inu. But this story does seem that she will, ne?

Caley- About the marriage part, I'm not sure, the true author didn't write that, but I could make it so that they do, and about Inuyasha's age, he's 17, a year older than Kagome.

Mediaminer.org-

adam- Really? I can't be that good, I've read way better stories!

Moon_Kitsune- I hope you like this chapter, I tried to write it faster, but >_< I had a lot of Spanish homework this week.

chi_dono- I know, I don't wanna end it yet, but I'll have to...

applejacks- ^_^ Now I know that scene made it so that Inuyasha wasn't OOC. ^____^
