InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Breaking the Barriers ❯ Chapter Five ( Chapter 5 )

Kagome shivered, and pulled her blanket closer to her body, the warmth comforting her. She held up her wrist and examined the marks that were slowly closing up. She could still feel the stinging sensation in her wrists. Kagome brought up a finger to trace the lines, wincing as the wounds began to burn. Blood seeped out of her wrist, dripping into her baby blue blanket. Cursing to herself, Kagome jumped up and ran to the nearest bathroom.

 

Quickly turning on the water, she let the water wash away the blood. Sighing as the cold water numbed her skin; she reached over to the cabinet and took some bandages, Neosporin, cotton balls, and a bottle of hydrogen peroxide. Kagome grinned as she found the items. You always gotta be prepared.

 

Letting the cotton ball soak with the hydrogen peroxide, she dried off her hand. Dabbing the cotton ball to her wounds, she wiped the ointment to her cuts. She tightly wrapped the bandages to her wrist, while throwing away the wasted cotton balls. Quickly putting everything away, she ran back to the warmth of her blanket.

 

Kagome looked at the red spots on her blanket... Blood. Kagome sighed, and placed the blanket to her hamper. Sighing once more, she thought about her friends. `I wonder what Sango's doin?' Kagome thought, sitting back on the couch.

 

Silver hair and golden eyes flashed in her mind. Inuyasha. Anger welt inside her as she remembered the boy that had stolen her first kiss. `Damn it, dog boy! After kissing Kikyo, you just had to kiss me! Ate my damn chocolate too!' Kagome pouted to herself. But she frowned as she remembered the kiss. She could still feel the electrifying shock that ran through her body. She had never ever felt like that before. What was that feeling?

 

Kagome shook her head and paid attention back to the TV, which was still running. But she couldn't help it, her mind keep wandering to the dog eared boy. Kagome leaned back into the chair, but then bolted up as a familiar melody rang throughout the house. Kagome figured that it would be Sango, but she was dead wrong.

 

It was dog boy.

 

“Hey Kags.” Inuyasha's cool voice entered her ears, sending her into a seething anger.

 

`Fucking jerk!' Kagome growled slightly on the phone, startling Inuyasha. “How the hell?” Kagome gritted out through her clenched teeth.

 

“Got it from Sango.” Inuyasha replied coolly.

 

`Damn.' Kagome pouted. “What now? Are you stalking me?” Kagome rolled her eyes.

 

“Nah. That's probably when I sneak into your room late at night and watch you sleep. Maybe grab some panties!” Inuyasha barked out, laughing.

 

“Really funny. What the hell do you want?” Kagome gripped the phone tighter, careful of she wrist.

 

“Just checking up on you… Do you forgive me?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“Hell no. Oh, and thanks for the empty chocolate box.” Kagome rolled her eyes once more.

 

“Haha… I'm really sorry though, Kags.” Inuyasha apologized.

 

“Don't call me that!” Kagome cried out.

 

“Call you what?” Inuyasha grinned. He loved playing with this girl.

 

“That!” Kagome yelled into the phone, putting it on speaker.

 

“What's that?” Inuyasha chuckled.

 

“You know what Takashi? Fuck you! “Kagome angrily shouted at the phone, her anger rising.

 

“No thanks I had better offers.” Inuyasha, being a smartass, replied.

 

Kagome seethed. She could just feel him smirking. “Goodbye.” Kagome calmly stated and slammed the phone back to its cradle. She ignored the melody that rang through the halls after she hung up. Kagome snorted. It was probably Inuyasha again. Yawning, Kagome laid in the couch, watching the movie that was playing. Her eyelids became heavy and she couldn't help herself, she fell asleep.

Kagome awoke, a rasping noise coming from the door. Kagome gasped and glanced at the clock. 12:30! “Fuck!” Kagome yelled and ran up to the door. She swung it open and gasped. Her mother was soaking wet!

 

Kori glared menacingly at the girl. “Get me a damn towel.” She hissed, shivering from the cold.

 

Kagome nodded dumbly and scurried upstairs. Surely she would get another beating! Dammit! Kagome grabbed a towel and ran back downstairs. “H-Here you go.” Kagome stuttered and shakily gave the towel to her drenched mother. `It must have rained while I was sleeping!' Kagome looked at her mother.

 

“You fucking bitch! I told you I would be back at midnight! You had me waiting her for thirty minutes!” Kagome hissed and grabbed her daughter's hair, pulling her face near hers.

 

Kagome cried out, her scalp burning. “I-I'm sorry! I though you had a spare key!” Kagome cried out again as her mother pulled her hair harder.

 

“Well, you thought fucking wrong!” Kori hissed and threw the girl down. “Get the hell out of my sight! You're lucky I'm too tired to punish you!” Kori stepped in the house and slammed the door close.

 

Kagome nodded and whimpered, running up the stairs to her room. Launching to her bed, she cried herself to sleep.

Kagome groaned, blinking a few times to make her vision clearer. Turning over, she shifted her eyes to her alarm clock. The neon green numbers showed that it was only 6:30. Kagome groaned loudly than before. She had at least an hour and thirty minutes until school. Shrugging, Kagome jumped up and headed to the bathroom. Humming, she began to get ready for school.

 

After a while, Kagome skipped downstairs to the kitchen. She rummaged through the kitchen and began to look for food. She munched on an apple and grabbed her book bag, locking all the doors and heading outside. `Might as well go… I only have thirty minutes left.' Kagome yawned and began walking, letting the wind cool her face.

 

Kagome turned as she heard a car honk. A silver Mustang was pulling up near her. Kagome rose and eyebrow and stopped as the window was rolled down.

 

“Hey baby!” the boy laughed.

 

Kagome gritted her teeth in anger. “Dog boy, what the hell do you want? And don't call me `baby'!” Kagome yelled.

 

Inuyasha grinned, “Come on Kags, I'm just joking around. Need a ride for school?”

 

Kagome shook her head. “I don't ride in a car with strangers.” Kagome kept on walking, ignoring Inuyasha's laugh.

 

His car slowly drove next to her. “Come on Kagome…! Please? You're by yourself and I don't want you getting kidnapped!” Inuyasha pleaded.

 

“Who would want to kidnap me anyways?” Kagome rolled her eyes and kept on walking. She sighed in frustration as the car kept on following her. “Look, if I ride with you, will you leave me alone?” Kagome asked.

 

Inuyasha grinned. “Scout's honor…!” Inuyasha placed his hand on his heart.

 

Kagome sighed and open his door, climbing in. The seats were comfortable! Kagome smiled to herself and watched as the scenery go by.

 

“Um... Kags… Why do you walk to school?” Inuyasha asked and turned up the music a bit louder.

 

Kagome shrugged, but didn't face him. “I dunno… I like walking.” Kagome replied.

 

Inuyasha nodded slowly and watched the weird girl out the corner of his eye. She was pretty. Inuyasha shook his head, but froze as he saw something in her wrist. He stopped the car and ignoring the girl's complains, he held her wrists in his hand. “Kagome…? What are you doing to yourself?” he softly whispered and traced the cut marks against her skin. `So fucking soft!' Inuyasha thought to himself.

 

Kagome tried to yank back her wrists, but she failed. Kagome turned away, closing her eyes. “Why would you care?” Kagome whispered.

 

Inuyasha growled softly. “I care because in your friend!” Inuyasha yelled at her.

 

Kagome began to sob and then tried once more to pull back her wrist. “Please… Let's just go to school.” Kagome softly begged, wiping her tears.

 

Inuyasha shook his head. “No! I want to know why you do this to yourself, Kags!” Inuyasha growled and lifted the girl easily into his lap. “Please tell me.”

 

Kagome closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth that emitted from dog boy. “Everything is just so fucked up in my life.” Kagome whispered. She buried her face into his chest, sobbing. Tears slowly made their way down her cheeks into Inuyasha's orange shirt.

 

Inuyasha frowned and stroked her hair, hoping to comfort her. “Kagome…” Inuyasha mumbled, biting his lip.

 

Kagome sniffed and hiccupped, looking up at him. “Yes, Inuyasha?” Kagome replied, staring up at his golden eyes.

 

Inuyasha smiled softly at her and held her hand, bringing it up to his lips. He kissed the cuts tenderly, closing his eyes as he savored the soft skin. “You shouldn't do this to yourself. Promise me, Kagome…. Promise me you will never ever do this to yourself.”

 

Kagome bit her lip, yanking back her arm. “You barely even know me!” Kagome cried out, balls of tears forming in her eyes.

 

Inuyasha grinned. “You're right, I don't know you, so how about we take sometime to get to know each other? Lets start now.” He smiled.

 

Kagome frowned. “What about school?” Kagome pointed towards the direction of the school.

 

“Fuck school. Let's go to an ice cream parlor. It wouldn't hurt to skip school once in a while.” Inuyasha laughed and made a sharp U-turn to a nearby ice cream parlor.

 

Kagome shrugged and continued to look outside, enjoying the scenery. `How can this boy suddenly care about me? I only knew him for one day…Why am I letting him take me everywhere. It wouldn't hurt to take sometime to get to know the richest person in the world…' Kagome sighed and ran a shaking hand through her raven locks. Her life had just gotten even more complicated.

 

Inuyasha parked the car in front of the parlor, opening the door for Kagome. “Come on, babe… I'm craving for some ice cream.” He held out a hand for her.

 

Kagome stared warily at his hand, but slowly took it. Sighing both entered the parlor hand in hand.

Twenty Minutes Later….

 

Kagome giggled, scooping up some of her chocolate ice cream. “You are so stupid, you know that?” Kagome laughed. She learned so much about him in one day!

 

Inuyasha grinned, happy that he made her laugh. “Yeah… I know… Hey, what's your favorite color?” Inuyasha asked, also scooping up some of his Rocky Road ice cream.

 

Kagome smiled. “Blue... How about you?” Kagome giggled. `He's not too bad… He's fun. I was wrong about him.' Kagome thought happily.

 

“Hmm... Red… Now you ask a question.” Inuyasha said, resting his chin on his hand. He studied the girl in front of him. She was beautiful.

 

Kagome shyly looked at him, feeling his eyes on her. “I don't know what to ask.” Kagome said.

 

“Okay… I'll ask a question then.” Inuyasha grinned.

 

“Sure... What is it?” Kagome asked.

 

“How about me and you get outta here and go to my place.” Inuyasha winked suggestively.

 

Kagome growled softly to herself. “Go fuck yourself Takashi. You fucking pervert.” Kagome angrily stood and stomped off.

 

Inuyasha sighed. He didn't expect her to react like that. Standing up, he ran after her. He grabbed her shoulders and roughly turned her around. “Kagome… Sorry about that… I was just playing around.”

 

Kagome sighed. “Just take me home…. Please?' Kagome begged.

 

Inuyasha sighed as well… “Fine. Come on.” Inuyasha took her hand and made her way towards to his car.

 

Kagome bit her lip and stared at their link hands. “Thanks...” Kagome mumbled as she sat back in his leather chair.

 

Inuyasha began to drive and stared at her in the corner of his eye. “Forgive me?” he said, going a bit faster.

 

Kagome ignored him for while, but then sighed. “Yeah… Whatever.” Kagome bit her lip and closed her eyes, leaning back into the comfortable seat.

 

Minutes later, Inuyasha stopped. He opened the door for Kagome and walked her to the porch. “Kagome….” Inuyasha started, looking away.

 

“What is it dog-boy?” Kagome replied, reaching for the doorknob.

 

Inuyasha placed a hand on her shoulders, and turned her so she could face him. “If you want a shoulder to cry on, I'll be here.” Inuyasha whispered and hugged her, placing a small kiss on her forehead. Quickly letting her go, Inuyasha ran back to his car, waving.

 

Kagome stood there in shock. This was the second time he kissed her! Entering the house, she stumbled into a dark figure.

 

“Mama??!?!”
