InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Fortunate Bad Luck ❯ I am stronger still ( Chapter 4 )

For a while Life had given me a break.

The only bad luck I seemed to have had was the usual tripping.

It was my senior year when I had my first boyfriend.

Sesshoumaru and I had gotten close but he was dating Kagura and I am not a boyfriend stealer.

He had left for Tokyo U to become Lawyer; Kagura had gone to Tokyo U to become a Teacher.

So he wasn't there to save me this time.

 

Kouga was handsome, devilishly good looks.

He was American, he moved here because his mother had gotten remarried to a Japanese tycoon.

He had dark blue eyes; they reminded me of the ocean on a stormy day.

His hair was down to his shoulders, curly and dark brown.

He was taller than me by a few inches maybe.

He was very persistent that he got to take me out on a date.

 

Inuyasha told me that he got bad vibes from this guy.

I didn't listen to him.

He had been moody lately because Kikyou had gone to the University.

 

The first date had been great.

He took me to the movies, very cliché if you ask me.

He took me on at least five more dates before I called him my boyfriend.

Our first kiss was sweet.

 

I could hear Life cackling away again.

I had no idea what it had planned for me and that scared me.

I was always cautious now because of my continuous bad luck.

 

“Kagome, I love you,” he suddenly said to me.

 

I blushed a little and held onto his hand tighter.

 

“I love you too Kouga,” I said smiling.

 

He put his hand on my leg, I thought nothing of this because he had done this before.

This time though was different.

He kept moving his hand up higher and higher; inching his way under my skirt.

I tensed up and looked at him.

He looked back and smiled.

I looked down at his hand and pushed it away.

He frowned at me and put his hand back where it was.

 

I frowned and scowled at the offending appendage.

I pushed it away again.

I never knew what was coming.

Kouga grabbed my upper thigh with brutal strength.

I cried out in pain.

I slapped him hard; I never saw it coming.

I never saw that my sweet, charming Kouga was really a monster.

 

He hit me, not with an open hand but a closed fist.

I started crying, not just crying but sobbing.

Then I heard it, I heard the voice whisper to me.

 

“He is weak, you must find the will power you once had and break free”

 

I did what it told me.

I mustered up all of my inner strength that I had let go so long ago.

I hit him in the groin with a closed fist.

He let go and fell off of the chair.

I got up and ran out the door of his apartment; tears running down my face.

I jumped into the elevator and frantically pushed the first floor button.

 

I could see him running out his apartment door towards the closing doors of the elevator.

I knew he would take the stairs; but I would make it down first and outside where there were people.

I was right for once.

I ran out the double doors and onto the busy street.

Cars honked at me as I ran in front of them, dodging my death.

I knew I just needed to get away.

 

I leapt onto the sidewalk and ran away as fast as I could.

That is until I ran straight into someone.

That someone was very familiar.

I looked up and saw the Gold eyes shine with concern.

 

“You look like death just knocked on your door. What the hell happened?” he asked holding onto my shaking form.

 

“Nothing, absolutely nothing,” I stammered so nervous he would find out.

 

He just hugged me and hailed a cab.

He pushed me inside and then got in himself.

He told the cab driver where to go and he drove off.

I looked back towards the apartment building and saw the foreboding figure of Kouga.

I shivered in fear of what he would do to me tomorrow at school.

 

Sesshoumaru looked at me and sighed.

He knew I was hiding something from him.

How does one go about telling their best friend that you almost got raped by your boyfriend?

I turned back around when I could no longer see him or the building.

Sesshoumaru grabbed my hand and squeezed letting me know everything would be okay.

I tried to believe him but it was very hard at the moment.

All one had to do was look at my bruised cheek and know that everything was not okay.

 

The cab stopped in front of Kikyou's three bedroom apartment.

I had lived with her from the time of the burning down of my house.

I thanked Sesshoumaru for seeing me home and I hurried up the concrete stairs.

I unlocked the door and ran inside and shut it quickly.

 

Kikyou took one look at me and ushered me into the bathroom.

 

“What happened?!” yelled Kikyou checking all over my body for anymore signs of abuse.

 

“I'm fine Kikyou, really I am,” I tried lying, I was never very good at it.

 

“You are not fine! You most likely have a broken cheek bone and those bruises on your thigh says other wise, now spill it,” she said in a tone my mother would have been proud of.

 

“It was Kouga,” I said shamefully hanging my head down.

 

“Oh Kagome,” she said hugging me closely.

 

I hugged back and sobbed on her shoulder.

You got me again Life.

I should have listened to Inuyasha.

He'll probably rub it in my face tomorrow.

 

Tomorrow came with a new dawn.

I stared dejectedly out the window of Kikyou's car.

The Scientist by Cold Play came on the radio.

I almost started crying.

 

“Nobody said it was easy. I'm sorry that we had to part. Nobody said it would be easy. Nobody said it would be this hard. I'm going back to the start,” I whispered to myself still staring out at the passing cars.

 

Kikyou looked over at me; I could feel her sad gaze on my turned face.

She knew I hurt.

She didn't know how bad I hurt because she had never been in my situation.

Though she still knew.

 

She arrived at my school and I unbuckled my seat belt.

I opened the door and stepped one foot out when I felt her hand on my back.

I looked over my shoulder and all she was feeling was said in those brown eyes.

 

`I'm sorry I can't do more for you. I know it must be hard,' she said with that look.

 

I half smiled and gave the hand on my back a squeeze and got out of the car.

I walked up the pathway and in between the black iron gates of my school.

I could hear kids laughing and talking.

I just kept my head down, my hair over my face hiding the bruise.

 

Sango was the first one to notice something was wrong with me.

She let go of Miroku's hand and came up to me.

She lifted my chin up and gasped when she saw the bruise.

Her eyes welled up with tears as she hugged my tightly.

I put my face into her shoulder and sniffled back the few tears that were in my eyes.

 

I could hear that whisper again.

 

“Be strong you will prevail, shining sun.”

 

I hugged her tightly then let go and gave her a small smile.

She smiled a tight lipped smile and pulled me along to our little group.

Miroku tried not to stare at my bruise.

Inuyasha just looked pissed.

Shippou wasn't there but Rin was and she couldn't understand.

I wouldn't let her understand because it would break that innocence we all loved so much.

 

I could feel a heated gaze on my back and I slowly turned.

It was Kouga, his blue eyes piercing through my clothes.

I knew what he was picturing and it made me feel disgusting.

I started to walk over there but Inuyasha had grabbed my arm and shook his head no.

 

I smiled at him my first real smile since I was six.

He stood there shocked; he had never really seen my bright smile before.

He slowly let go of my arm and I walked over to Kouga.

 

“I knew you would come back to me babe,” he said trying to loop his arm around my shoulders and pull me closer.

 

“I didn't come back to you, asshole, I came back to let you know what you tried to do to me and what you have done to me has not broken my spirit. I will not be your slut or anyone else's!” I yelled in his face as I side stepped his arm.

 

I turned around and walked back or tried to.

His foot came out and he tripped me.

I landed face down.

Tears threatened to spill over and down my cheeks.

I took a deep breath and pushed myself up.

I turned around, dropped my books that I had still been holding, and I punched him right in the face.

I hit his nose and heard a sickening crunch.

I knew I had broken his nose.

 

Everyone in the hall became suddenly silent as they realized what I had done.

I picked up my books and held my head up proudly as I walked to my first class.

I could hear the groans and moans of Kouga as blood poured out of his nose.

For once in my life since the death of my parents I felt content.

 

This time Life, I have won.

I have won because I am stronger than what you think.

Come on throw something else at me.

 

 

 

Kagome: YAY I KICKED ASS!

Allie: Haha yeah you did…damn wolf bitch
