InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Cutter's lullaby ❯ Coming Undone ( Chapter 3 )

Kagome sat on bed crying, replaying the fight with her mother in head…

 

*~*Flashback*~*

 

Kagome walked in the front door and let out a deep sigh, `that was stupid. I can't believe I kissed him.'

“About time you got home sis. Mom and dad are in the kitchen talking about you. Mom's pissed, she saw you and that guy.”

Kagome knew she was in for a verbal lashing. She ruffled Souta's hair and walked into the kitchen, “Hi mom. Hi dad. Sorry I'm late, I kinda lost track of time.”

Kagome's mother stood up and walked over to her, slap, “How dare you lie to me you little tramp!”

Kagome's cheek stung and her head throbbed, “I didn't lie to you mom!”

Her mother laughed bitterly, “Bullshit! You said you were going to hang out with friends, not go meet up with some yanki!”

Kagome looked at her mom confused, “Yanki? You mean Inuyasha? He's not a yanki.”

“See there you go lying again Kagome!”

Kagome threw her hands up in frustration, “I'm not lying. He's really a nice guy.” She looked down at the floor before adding, “Well at least I think he is. I just met him.”

Both of her parents looked at her concerned. Her mother was the first to say something, “What do you mean you just met? As in you met him then asked him to take you home?”

Kagome almost laughed, “no mom. I mean today at school, he's new to the area.”

Kagome's father stood up and left the room, and she thought the fight was over, “Good night mom.”

Her mother's hand shot out and grabbed her arm, “Kagome you are forbidden to see this boy anymore.”

Kagome jerked out of her mother's grip, “What? Why?”

Her mother began to walk away, “You heard me Kagome, and if I catch you with him again you're grounded. The last thing you need is a guy to distract you from you're already dwindling studies.”

“But mom!”

Kagome's mom raised her hand silently tell her daughter to shut up, “No buts Kagome.” Her mother walked out of the room.

 

*~* End Flashback *~*

 

“She knows nothing about him. She can't keep me away from him.”

Kagome winced as she brought the sharp blade across her arm, and watched in morbid fascination as her blood dripped onto the towel below.

She slid the blade against her skin twice more as she recited a poem she had found online a while back, “I feel the point pierce my skin releasing the pain from deep within, a slice then a little more, drips of blood upon the floor. Through the muscle -into the vein- gather the strength and do it again. An open wound -blood flows through, to release the hurt- it's all I can do. Listen to my heart as the pain ceases, bleeding out emotion, the rage releases. Some say it's suicidal, but I say it's releasing the pain inside. So turn your heads if you don't want to see the pain inside, on the surface of me.” Kagome paused to place a large gauze bandage over the new cuts, “For the scars I carry upon my skin…” Kagome wrapped tape around the bandage securing it, “tell the story of the hell within.”

After Kagome finished bandaging her arm, she lay down on her bed, staring at the ceiling. Letting the stinging sensation of her medicated cuts lull her to sleep.

Sango was sitting on the front step with Miroku when Inuyasha walked over to them.

“Have you guys seen Kagome?”

Miroku shook his head, “Knowing her she woke up late.”

Sango nodded her head in agreement.

“Geez, you guys know me all too well. Morning” Kagome walked over to the group and sat down next to Sango.

“Morning Kagome. How did things go when you got home? I'm sure your mom was pissed.”

Kagome rolled her eyes, “You have no idea. She ranted and raved for half and hour, then she decided to make my life miserable.” Kagome looked like she was going to cry.

Three pairs of eyes looked at her confused. Inuyasha came over and sat by her, placing his arm around her shoulders he asked, “What do you mean? What did she do?”

Kagome looked up at him and gave a weak smile, “She forbade me from seeing you ever again. My parents seem to think you're a yanki.”

Inuyasha raised an eyebrow, “Me?”

Kagome shrugged her shoulders, “I tried to tell them but…” She looked over at Sango and Miroku, “well you guys know my mom, she never takes my word.”

Inuyasha gave her shoulders a quick squeeze, “Its ok. We can still hang out at school.”

Kagome smiled up at him once again, “Yeah.”

 

 

The four friends were sitting there talking when a dark shadow fell over them, “Inuyasha. You left your textbook at home.”

They looked up when a book was shoved in Inuyasha's face, “Thanks for bringing it Sesshomaru, but it's not cold enough outside, so hell hasn't frozen over. What made you bring it?”

Kagome looked from Inuyasha to this other guy, Sesshomaru. They looked a-like.

“Rin made me bring it. She said I should be nice to you every now and then.” Sesshomaru hitched his thumb over his shoulder pointing to a tall skinny girl, with long black hair and large chocolate brown eyes. The girl waved and spoke to Inuyasha, “Who are your friends Yasha?”

Inuyasha cleared his throat, “Oh right, this is Kagome Higarashi, Sango Yamadera, and Miroku Matsumoto. Guys this is my older brother Sesshomaru and his girlfriend Rin Tsurusawa.” Rin walked over and shook everybody's hand; she stopped when she got to Kagome, “Oh wow! You look like Yasha's ex Kikyo!” Everybody's eyes widened and Kagome looked like she was going to be sick. Just then the bell rang, “I have to go please excuse me.” Kagome quickly got up and made her way to her first class.

Inuyasha ran after her, “Wait Kagome!” When he caught up to her, he turned her around and realized she was crying.

“What's the matter?”

Kagome tried to wipe away her tears but Inuyasha beat her to it, “Please don't cry Kagome.”

She pushed his hand away and turned around, “I don't look like her!” Inuyasha came up behind her and embraced her, “You don't look like her, you are much prettier Kagome, inside and out.”

Kagome turned around in his arms and hugged him back, “Thank you Inuyasha. I really needed to hear that.”

He placed a kiss on the top of her head, “Come on let's get to class.”

 

 

 

*~* First Period *~*

 

 

Kagome was sitting at her desk trying to figure out the calculus question on the broad, when her cell phone began to vibrate.

`Who the hell is calling me now?'

She pulled out her cell phone and across the LCD screen read: NEW TXT MESSAGE.

Kagome flipped the top on the phone to read the message, not surprised to see it was from Sango.

 

kagome need 2 talk 2 u aftr class.

 

Kagome closed the phone quickly as her teacher walked past. Kagome began working out the problem again.

 

 

*~* After class *~*

 

 

Sango was waiting for Kagome when she walked out of class. Kagome gave her a small smile before asking, “ What was so important that you had to text me during class?”

“Well,” Sango paused to smirk at her best friend, “I saw Inuyasha kiss you this morning.”

Kagome's eyes widened and she began to blush, “Come on Sango it was just on the top of my head. Besides he was just trying to calm me down.”

Sango giggled, “ Kagome you do realize you're blushing?” Before Kagome could answer the bell rang saving her from further embarrassment.

“I'll see you in gym Sango.”

She hurried down the hallway. `I am not blushing!' Kagome brought a hand up to her cheek; it was warm. `Shit I am blushing!'

 

~*~Lunch later that day ~*~

 

 

“Kagome! Come sit over here!”

Kagome looked around the cafeteria to see Rin waving at her.

As she walked over to where Rin sat she noticed Sesshomaru was sitting next to her.

“Hi Rin. HI Sesshomaru. I didn't know you had this lunch.”

“Being a senior has its advantages. We can pick our lunch time.” Rin said after taking a drink of her soda.

Kagome sat down and was about to take a bite of her burger when Sesshomaru spoke up, “So Kagome, are you my little brother's girlfriend?”

Kagome almost dropped her burger but quickly recovered and looked wide-eyed from Sesshomaru to Rin. “No we're just friends. Why do you ask?”

“Well I've never seen my brother run after a girl before so I just assumed you had to be special to him.”

Rin playfully slapped her boyfriend in the arm, “Leave the poor girl along Sesshy. Can't you see she's blushing?”

Sesshomaru looked over at Kagome then kissed Rin on her neck, “You're right love, I was being mean, you can punish me when we get home.”

While Rin was blushing Sesshomaru looked at Kagome, “I'm sorry for being so rude. My tongue slipped.”

Kagome blushed a deeper shade of red, “It's ok. Um I have to go now talk to you guys later.” Kagome excused herself from the lunch table and headed for the doors.
