Chapter 4: A sleepless night
Sango’s eyes went as wide as saucers “Oh god Kagome, I didn’t know! I’m so sorry!” Sango gasped. Kagome smiled brightly.
“It’s okay; I was going to dump him any way.” Kagome laughed. Sango looked as relieved as she felt.
“So, why exactly did you get taken hostage?” Sango asked gently.
“It’s a LONG story.” Kagome sighed rubbing her temples.
“We’ve got time” Sango said with a wicked smile. Kagome laughed and shook her head as she told Sango what had happened the night before. Sango looked thoughtful as Kagome wrapped up her story. There was a long pause of silence between the two girls . . . it was almost awkward.
“Don’t worry bout it Kagome, you’ll be back in your own house in no time!” Sango said cheerfully. Kagome shook her head and sighed.
“Thanks Sango, but I’m not stupid. IF I don’t get killed here and actually get to go home then I will probably get killed by Kouga because I’m his weakness and now everyone knows it. I know too much.” Kagome sighed, a deep aching sadness in her eyes.
Sango patted Kagome’s shoulder comfortingly. “You could always stay here with us.” She offered a small smile on her face.
“No! I don’t want to be apart of a gang-especially a gang that kills innocent people.” Kagome choked out a bit angrily.
“You’ve got it all wrong Kagome. Not all gangs will kill innocent people, hell some gangs don’t even KILL people. The Pack and The Vipers are the only gangs that kill innocents…just to prove how strong they are. The hounds just deal with our own type of people- no one in THIS business is innocent.” Sango sighed as she stretched. Kagome nodded thinking about what Sango had just told her. She was right, no one in this business was innocent but that still didn’t make killing right now did it?
“Ah hem!”
Sango and Kagome turned to see Miroku leaning quite comfortably against the wall his arms crossed casually over his chest. Kagome hadn’t even heard him come in.
“What do you want lecher.” Sango growled. Kagome couldn’t help but smile, in a way it was cute how these two bickered. In a VERY twisted way but cute none the less.
“Sango, such harsh words. . . anyway the Boss is having a faculty meeting, we are to keep Kagome locked in here and meet up with him.” Sango nodded her head and gave Kagome an apologetic look before she closed the door behind her. Kagome heard the lock click in the door and sighed as she propped her head in her hands.
“I could always. . . No that would be wrong. Sango trusts me.” Kagome thought aloud.
‘TRUSTS YOU!? She is the one who locked the door stupid! You are KIDNAPPED! Make a run for it Dammit!’ her inner voice screamed in her head. Kagome sighed, “I’ve got to at least try.” She said as she got to her feet. Kagome walked over to the door and twisted the knob.
“Locked” She groaned.
‘Of course its locked stupid!’ Kagome fingers idly touched the star necklace she always wore around her neck. Kouga had given it to her for her birthday. Her fingers worked quickly to unfasten it from her neck. The star was shiny silver, the points were long and thin with intricate designs in the middle- it almost looked like a snowflake.
“This will work.” Kagome said as she knelt down and looked at the lock. Kagome had a bad memory and would always forget her keys and locked herself out of the house. That is until Kouga had taught her how to pick her lock. ‘That should have clued me in but Nooooo…’ Kagome thought miserably as she worked on unlocking the door with the point of the star. Kagome felt around for the small latch that would unlock the door, after a few minutes she found it and gave the necklace a small twist. The lock clicked and the door swung open. Kagome put her necklace back on and poked her head out into the hallway.
The hall was empty, almost eerily so. ‘Where to go now?’ Kagome thought biting her lip. Finally she shrugged.
“I’ll just use my woman’s intuition.” She said with a decisive snap of her fingers. Kagome turned right and jogged down the hall- eager to get away from the room. She took a couple of lefts, then rights until she was positive she was COMPLETLEY lost. She finally ended up in a long hallway with a dead end.
“So much for woman’s intuition.” She grumbled. The hallway was VERY long with only three large doors –that Kagome could see anyway. Two doors were on the left and one on the right. Kagome paused, ears straining. She heard footsteps and voices coming her way. Her heart leapt into her throat as she hurled herself into the first room on her right. Kagome closed the door softly behind her, and leaned against the solid oak door. She held her breath as the footsteps came near, but they slowly faded away.
“That was close.” Kagome sighed as she turned around to look where she had ended up. She was in a humongous room. Beautiful paintings hung on the walls and there was ankle deep black carpet underfoot. Kagome didn’t even know they made carpet in that color. There was a large brick fire place about as wide as Kagome was tall, and it looked like it had never been used before. In the back of the room a canopy bed was centered against the back wall, black hangings hid the black pillows and black satin sheets. Kagome reached out a hand to feel the softness of the silk against her fingers. She hadn’t even realized she had walked towards the bed until her fingers touched silk.
“Nice.” Kagome sighed. There was a small wooden chest with intricate carvings in the far corner, next to what looked to be a closet.
Kagome looked around the room appreciatively and nodded before she turned to leave. Footsteps thundered down the hallways.
“Spread out! She’s around here somewhere!” A stern voice bellowed. Kagome yipped and dove under the bed when she heard the footsteps getting louder and louder. They passed and went farther down the hall. Kagome waited under the bed, as still as she could be, her face was pressed against the plush black carpet. Her breathing was shallow and her brown eyes were wide in her pale face. She did NOT want to get caught.
A second pair of footsteps came down the hallway- this pair however didn’t seem to be in any particular rush. When they reached the door of the room Kagome was in they paused and the door creaked open and shut with a loud click.
‘Shit!’ Kagome thought as the person entered the room. The sound of footsteps going back and forth told Kagome that the person was pacing, apparently they were nervous or really angry. Kagome sat in fearful silence for what seemed to be forever, her heart was beating fast in her chest, drowning out all other sound around her. She was cornered like a frightened rabbit.
‘Oh God, oh God!’ Kagome thought frantically as the person stopped pacing and approached the bed slowly. The black bed skirt hid her from view but also prevented Kagome fro seeing anything. Kagome’s breath caught in her chest when the mattress above her creaked –the person was going to sleep.
‘Great! Now I have to wait till they fall asleep!’ Kagome thought bitterly. The person above her tossed and turned- the bed creaking a bit as they did so. This went on for hours-literally. And Kagome found herself growing tired- but her body would not allow her to sleep. Finally the person stopped moving and lay motionless. Kagome waited-her heart beating faster then before- to make sure whoever it was really asleep. After 10 minutes Kagome took a deep breath and crawled slowly from out of under the bed. The room looked the same-with the exception of a black leather jacket that lay draped over the chair.
Slowly Kagome got to her feet, she made to leave but stopped in her tracks. Her curiosity had gotten the best of her- She HAD to know who was sleeping in that bed. The curtains were closed so Kagome couldn’t see inside. She would have to pull back the curtain and look. Kagome felt a tremor of fear crawl up her spine. ‘What if they wake up?’ That was just a chance Kagome was going to have to take. Curiosity had taken a hold of her and it would not let her go. Kagome made her way slowly to the bed, her hand outstretched in front of her. She swallowed back the lump in her throat as she approached the bed, her hands were shaking in anticipation. Her outstretched hand fisted in the soft material and she thought ‘what am I doing!?’
She was upset that she couldn’t control her curiosity, but more upset that she couldn’t control her fear. With a deep breath Kagome pulled the curtain back wide.
The bed was empty. The sheets were folded and creased- proof that someone had been there, but whoever that someone was they weren’t there now. ‘Weird’ Kagome thought as she backed up warily. When she hit a barrier of flesh. Kagome nearly screamed. A clawed hand shot out and covered her mouth while at the same time another hand wrapped itself around Kagome’s waist, pinning her arms to her sides. Kagome froze when she heard a soft chuckle and felt warm breath on her neck.
“I was wondering when you would come out from under there.” An all too familiar voice chuckled in her ear.
Kagome winced.
“Inuyasha.” Kagome whispered as the hand fell from her mouth. Inuyasha chuckled dryly behind her.
“Goodnight Kagome.” He whispered. Kagome felt another sharp stabbing pain on the back of her head and fell limply into Inuyasha’s arms. Inuyasha smirked as he carried her to the bed. He left her there to go speak with Sesshoumaru. The girl, Kagome, wouldn’t wake up for hours, maybe even days. For now she would stay here. Inuyasha left closing the door softly behind him.
