InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Cutter's lullaby ❯ Piece of My Heart ( Chapter 4 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
A/N: I'm so sorry it took me so long to update. I have a really old computer, so sometimes it doesn't read my floppy disks. I want to thank all my readers, you're comments mean a lot to me! Oh, the hanyou/miko thing doesn't play a big part in this story, but I couldn't get rid of Yasha's easr. I didn't say so in the previous chapters but the school the gang go to is mixed, both demon and human. Well I hope you like this chapter, and again sorry for the long wait. Please read and review.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of the characters :( I only gave some of them last names.

Inuyasha was sitting in class staring out the window, he already knew how to do the math skill anyway.
'I can't believe that I ran after Kagome. But she looked really upset.' Just as he was about to look back at the board he say Kagome come into his line of sight. 'I think she has lunch now.' Inuyasha felts his cheeks heat, 'what the hell! Why do I know her schedual?' He was too busy scolding himself to see a guy join Kagome. He didn't recognize who he was, but being new to the school made this understandable. Kagome and the guy talked for a little bit, but the conversation became heated. Inuyasha saw Kagome point a finger at the guys chest, but what happened next mad him see red. The asshole grabbed Kagome's wrist and pulled her closer, she tried to get away, but to no avail. Inuyasha stood up, interupting the class. "Mr. Saruwatari, is there something you need?" Inuyasha looked from his teacher, back out the window to see Kagome still struggling with that guy, "Yes, may I go to the restroom?" The teacher barely go the word yes out before Inuyasha took off out the door.

Kagome was walking in the courtyard when Koga appeared in front of her. "Kagome we need to talk." Kagome looked at Koga like he was stupid, "Why would I want to talk to you?" Koga took a tentive step towards her,"We need to talk about this whole thing with Kikyo, I think you should meet, so we can all talk about this." Kagome laughed, "I already met Kiyko. At the diner last night, if you ask her I'm sure she'll tell about it. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go." Kagome went to turn around but what Koga said next stopped her in her tracks. "Please Kagome, I love you." Kagome wanted to scream, she turned back around to face Koga, she pushed her finger into his muscled chest, "Koga you never loved me!" Kagome went to pull her hand away but Koga grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer, "I will never let you go Kagome." Kagome tried to pull away but Koga held steady, "Let me go! Koga let me go!" Before Koga could protest a hand was wrapped around his throat and he was pressed against the wall. "She told you to let her go! You should have listened wolf-boy." Kagome was in a state of shock,' where the hell did he come from? Not that I'm not greatful.' Koga tried to pull at the hand around his throat, when that didn't work he tried to talk to Kagome, "Ka...gome...who the...hell...is this?" His words were faint due to the lack of air but she still heard him. Kagome blinked to clear her head, she looked at Koga and answered, " This is Inuyasha Saruwatari, Kikyo's ex-boyfirend. Inuyasha, please let him go." She placed her small hand on his arm, "Please."
Inuyasha turned his head and saw her hand resting on his arm, then looked at her face, emotion shone in her bright eyes. But what he saw wasn't saddness but anger and confusion. He looked back at Koga,"Alright, I'll let him go." He tightened his grip before finally letting him go. Koga slumped down the wall slightly, trying to regain is breath. Inuyasha walked over to Kagome and looked her from head to toe, he tentatively took her hand in his and checked her wrist for any sign or bruising, he found a red welt that would go away in a couple of days. But as he began to push her sleeve up higher on her arm, Kagome quickly pulled her arm away and shoved her sleeve back down, but not before Inuyasha could see an inch of cut flesh. "Kagome, are you okay? Why do you have cut marks.." "I'm fine. I fell trying to get my cat out of a tree the other day, so now big deal." Inuyasha wasn't sure if he believed her but before he could press the matter Koga spoke up behind him. "So, you're Kikyo's half-breed? She talked about you when we were together, said you had dirty blood, neither demon nor human. Kagome you shouldn't be hanging around a bastard like him, he'll taint you." Kagome saw Inuyasha stiffen, "What do you mean he'll taint me?" Koga sighed and rolled his eyes, "Come on Kagome don't be so dense. A miko with your abilities should only be with a full demon, a monk, or a normal human. The half-breed will only bring you down." Koga smirked when he heard the hanyou growl and wasn't suprised when he lunged for him. Inuyasha pulled back his arm and was about to pound Koga's face in when he felt arms wrapped around his waist. Kagome was whispering something against his back, he swiveled his ears to hear her better. "Inuyasha, please don't listen to him. I don't care if you're a hanyou, I will always be with you." Koga and Inuyasha's eyes widened at Kagome's statement 'what did she just say?' Kagome's armes tightened around Inuyasha's waist as he placed a hand on her clasped ones, "Thank you Kagome." Kagome choked back a sob, "Koga I think you should leave, I have no use for you now, just as you had no use for me." Koga opened his mouth to tell her that she was wrong but just nodded and walked away when Inuyasha turned around and pulled Kagome close. 'I guess she really doesn't need me anymore.'
Inuyasha wrapped his around Kagome's waist and rested his head on the top of her head. 'She makes me fell normal.' Kagome relished in the warmth of Inuyasha's arms, she felt safe and whole, the pain eased from her body. "Inuyasha, why does Koga hate the fact that you're a hanyou?" Inuyasha pulled away a little and looked into her eyes, "Because like he said I am neither demon nor am I human. I don't belong with either group, I'm alone, with both parents gone, all I have is Sesshomaru and I guess Rin. But even then they spend all their time together." Kagome blinked back tears before she could say anything, "No Inuyasha," He looked at her confused, "What do you mean no?" A small smile graced her lips as she spoke, "I mean no, you're not alone. You have me. And you have Sango and Miroku, you will never be alone." Inuyasha was a little stunned, he never thought someone would say that to him, did he finally have friends? Looking at her face in knew the answer; Kagome would always be with him but he needed the truth, "Kagome tell me about the cuts on your arm." Kagome pulled back and gave a nervous laugh, "I told you, I fell..." Inuyasha cut her off, shaking hi shead he said," I don't believe you. Falling out of a tree wouldn't cause those kinda of marks." Kagome became angry, "how would you know?" It was Inuyasha's turn to laugh, "because I have fallen out of thousands of trees Kagome. Now tell me the damn truth, what happened to your arm?" Kagome stepped back and placed her hand on her own forearm, she looked at Inuyasha, "Please don't be mad at me." He wrinkled his nose as he caught the scent of her fear. "I won't be mad at you Kagome, please tell me." She nodded and pushed up the sleeve of her black shirt, all along her pale forearm were red cuts mark. When Inuyasha looked closer he saw the light brown scars from previous cuts, "Kagome what have you been doing?" She opened her mouth to answer but just as she was about to speak the bell rang. She pulled down her sleeve and ran for her class, ignoring Inuyasha yelling behind her.

Inuyasha walked back to his class,' Kagome what have you done?' He walked to his desk and picked up his books and was about to head out the door when his teacher stopped him, "Mr. Saruwatari you missed the last 15 minutes of class, what is your excuse?" Inuyasha looked back at his teacher, "Sorry Mr. Nagasaki, I got lost. This school has too many hallways." He hoped this excuse would work. Mr. Nagasaki raised an eyebrow, "Alright, don't let it happen again. Understand?" Inuyasha sighed and nodded his head. As he walked out the door he pulled out his cell phone, and pulled up his messages...

Kagome was in gym class with Sango when she felt her cell phone vibrate. She pulled Sango in front of her so the teacher wouldn't see. Sango tried to look at the screen, "Who's it from Kagome?" Kagome rolled eyes at her nosy friend, "None of your damn..." Kagome stopped talking and just stared at the message. "Come on Kagome who sent it to you?" Kagome swallowed hard, "It's from Inuyasha." Sango leaned in closer to Kagome, "Ooh, did he confess his feeling for you?" Kagome handed Sango the phone:
To: Kagome
From: Inuyasha
Kagome I'm always here for you, no matter what the problem is. Please tell me, but only when you're ready.
Sango closed the phone and handed it back to Kagome she was a little confused about what was going on, "Kagome what is he talking about? What problem?" Kagome placed her head in her hands and took a deep, calming breath, "Her saw the cut marks on my arm and asked me about them, but before I could answer the bell rang and I ran off like a coward. Sango I want to tell him but what if he thinks I'm a freak for it?" Sango embraced her best friend in a tight hug, "Kagome, he said he will always be there for you. I think he cares about you, and if your secret makes him think diferently of you then he's not worth your time. Tell him when you're ready Kagome." She heard Kagome let out a small sob, "Its ok sweetie, we're all here for you." Kagome hugged Sango a little tighter as the dam that was holding back her tears broke,'Gods! All I seem to do today is fucking cry!' Kagome sniffed and let out a deep sigh, "Thank you Sango."

Inuyasha and Miroku sat down at their table food trays in hand, "Do you hear that?" Miroku's head turned from side to side trying to locate the sound. "It sounds like Korn" Inuyasha heard the music too, "Korn? Who is playing... oh wait its my cell phone!" Miroku rolled his eyes at the hanyou, "And you say humans have bad hearing." Inuyasha growled and popped the monk upside his head, "They do. You're an exception." He pulled out his phone to find he had a new text message. "Ooh, your girlfriend?" Inuyasha glared at Miroku, " No, dumbass. You know I don't have a girlfriend, It's from Kagome."
"Oh? And what did the lovely Kagome have to say?" Before Miroku could look over his shoulder Inuyasha closed the phone, "Nothing."
Again the monk rolled his eyes and spoke under his breath, "Yeah right." Inuyasha paid him no never mind, he was thinking about the message Kagome sent him:
To: Inuyasha
From: Kagome
Meet me and Sango at the park after school, bring Miroku with. I'll tell you the truth.
