InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ From An Alley ❯ Finding Home ( Chapter 5 )

Chapter 5: Finding Home

Kagome could barely believe her eyes looking at the white, shack-like house from Inuyasha's car. It was so very tiny compared to where her family had lived before. It brought fresh tears to her eyes. Memories from the past flooded her mind in large torrents.

"Let's go." She said shakily, making her way up the short path to the house. Kagome didn't notice a car in the drive way, if she was lucky maybe her father wasn't home. Inuyasha stood protectively behind her. A few seconds after knocking on the red door of the house, she could hear some rustling from inside. Her stomach tied itself in knots as the door opened.

"You're back bitch?" said the rough voice of her father, Akkou Higurashi. He looked the girl over, surprised that she was smart enough to come look for the mother and brother that he had taken with him. "They're not here." He said, as if she would understand.

The girl looked into the man's face. What did he mean? She was afraid to speak up, and was grateful when Inuyasha put a hand on her shoulder, reassuring her of his position. They had talked in the morning, after finding out that she had slept in his bed.

"I want to see Mama and Sota." She stated, trying to cover up her fear for the man. Out of no where he slapped his hand out, making a large smack sound when it met with Kagome's face. Inuyasha would have done something if Kagome had not told him earlier to "not join in."

"They aren't here, I told you." He stated, now looking to the man standing behind his daughter, taking in his features carefully. "Go on bitch, don't bother me."

She had gotten used to the name long ago, but Inuyasha wouldn't stand back and let anyone talk to Kagome in such a manner, even if the person was her father. He let out a soft growl, surprising himself. "Don't talk to Kagome like that." He snapped.

"You moved them out here, so they should be here. Let me see them, move!" she was ready to shove her father from the door to see where her mother and brother were. Inuyasha squeezed the hand on her shoulder.

"Kagome, is that you?" asked a small voice from behind Akkou. The woman peeked over the man's shoulder to see her daughter. Seeing that he had no alternative, he let Kagome and Inuyasha step into the house.

It smelled like alcohol, and Kagome's head started to spin. If Inuyasha wasn't there, she was sure she would have fainted. She also noticed the furniture from her old house inside this smaller one. Then she saw how her mother looked. She was thinner and paler than the last time she had seen her. `Oh mama.'

"Come sit." She said cheerfully, pointing to the small couch in the living room. Inuyasha and Kagome took a seat, with her mother taking to the chair to the right of her daughter. Her father just went upstairs, dragging his feet over the steps.

"Mama…what happened?" she asked carefully. She took some time to look over the room, noticing that the paint on the walls was peeling and almost everything smelled of alcohol or tobacco. It was an awful thing to have to live with.

The woman took in a large breath of the polluted air, trying to calm her nerves. "When we were very low on money your father decided to move us. He didn't care that we couldn't send you to school anymore, and he didn't want to give you the money either way. He moved me and Sota here while you were gone. He…he threatened us, I had no choice." She said, not having said what really happened to anyone before. Her voice was shaky, but she was relieved to see Kagome. But she questioned the boy next to her.

"Mama, I can't believe he'd do that. What's going to happen, where's Sota?" she asked question after question.

Her mother sighed miserably. How could she tell her daughter? "Akkou, he…he…oh Kagome!" she started to cry, covering her face in her hands.

The girl rushed over to her mother, embracing her gently. She could only imagine the worst for her little brother before her father tumbled down the steps. He couldn't keep his balance; he was obviously drunk, and carrying something in his right hand.

Kagome gasped as she saw her father, in his drunken state, pull the gun from his pocket and aim it at her. "Damn you bitch for bringing this one into the world." He slurred, pulling the trigger. As any other mother would do, she moved to stand in front of Kagome, meeting the bullet head on.

She staggered with the force, falling against Kagome who caught her in her arms. Inuyasha was now moving closer to Akkou, getting ready to dodge any of his other attacks. The man pulled the trigger again, but nothing came out. He had used his last bullet.

Inuyasha punched the man in his face, than in his gut, feeling an unbelievably large rage coming over him.

Kagome had placed her mother on the floor, keeping her head cradled in her arms. "Mama, it's going to be alright." She whispered, not being able to believe that her father would ever attempt to do something like this.

Her mother smiled weakly, a tear forming in her right eye. "I love you Kagome, so did Sota. I'll be with him again, soon." The woman closed her eyes, inhaling for the last time. When Kagome could feel no more pulse she started sobbing uncontrollably. Her mother was gone, and so was her brother from what she understood from her short talk with her mother.

"Mama, at least you're safe now." She said, getting up to get to the phone. She dialed the police station, explaining quickly what happened. She had to choke back sobs, and then the female receptionist said that the police would be there shortly. Kagome hung up.

Inuyasha had knocked the man almost unconscious. He couldn't believe that such a vile creature could exist. He walked away from the stairs where he laid sprawled on, making his way to Kagome. Inuyasha noticed her mother on the floor, very pale. He hugged her when she turned around. He could feel the tears seeping into his shirt.

"I'm alone, all alone." She whispered.

"I'm still here Kagome." He whispered back, placing a soft kiss to the top of her head, pulling her tighter in their embrace. Seconds later the police came in, her father having left the front door unlocked.

Kagome was questioned, and she gave a brief explanation of how her family ended up in the small house because of her father, and then how he drunkenly shot her mother when he aimed the gun at her. Inuyasha was holding her the entire time, coaxing her to talk so the policeman could have the correct story down.

A few minutes later they had her mother in a body bag on a stretcher, and her father was being lifted into the police car by three men. Her family, what was left of it, had been destroyed in half an hour.

"Miss, you'll have to come to the hospital to fill out forms about your mother's body and how you want to put her to rest." Said the man who had been questioning her. Kagome nodded.

When everyone else was gone, it was just Kagome and Inuyasha in the house. Inuyasha started placing tiny kisses over her face, in between whispering how it would be okay and that he was still there for her. This was when he noticed that their relationship had deepened.

"Let's go." She said, repeating the words she had said not too long ago before all of this had happened. Kagome knew she had to go to the hospital right away. She knew her mother deserved a proper funeral, but all she wanted was for her mother to be turned into ashes so she could keep them close to her, no ceremony at all.

After she had told Inuyasha her plans, he agreed without any hesitation to drive her to the hospital once she was ready. They ended up leaving there straight from Kagome's father's home.

"Can I sleep with you tonight?" she asked meekly, picking at the food in front of her. Both she and Inuyasha were sitting at the table in his room at the hotel. They had come back from the hospital and he had ordered room service.

"Of course Kagome." He said, taking her hand gently from across the table. He felt miserable; having to see Kagome is such a state. He remembered the times after his mother died because of her rare form of lung cancer. Inuyasha had been about 16 when that happened. A year later he got the news that his father had died in a car accident, and realized that all the family he had left was Sesshoumaru. Even as a half brother, he had taken Inuyasha in, respecting his father's request written in his will.

"I don't ever want to see him again." She said, still continuing to pick at the fish laid out on her plate. Inuyasha sighed. He knew that she needed to eat something, or she would start to feel ill.

"Come here." He commanded gently. The girl got up from her from her seat to stand by Inuyasha's side. Unexpectedly, he pulled her down onto his lap. She sat there, resting her head on his shoulder. "You need to eat."

"I'm not hungry." She stated simply.

Inuyasha moved her plate of untouched food in front of him, taking a small piece in his fork; he brought it to her mouth. "Eat." Was the one word he said. She opened her mouth and Inuyasha let his hand guide the fish inside. He smiled when he saw how carefully she chewed and swallowed as he prepared another piece for her. This went on for another 15 minutes until her plate was practically cleared.

"Good girl." He praised her, running his hand up and down her back. She sunk her head into his shoulder, feeling fresh tears coat her eyes. Inuyasha could feel them trickling down his throat.

"They're gone." She whispered.

He picked up Kagome and deposited her on the bed, taking a seat next to her. "It'll be rough for a while." He stated simply, debating whether or not to tell her that his parents had died too.

"How could you know?" she snapped. After a moment she added "I'm sorry Inuyasha, it's been a hard day."

"My parents are gone too Kagome, I know. Ten years ago my mom died from cancer, and a year after that my dad died in a car accident." Kagome took his hand, squeezing it. Without words she could let him know how sorry she was for him.

"Life always finds a way to suck." He added. Kagome nodded. She took a deep breath in, and leaned into Inuyasha, placing a light kiss to his temple, then to his cheek. Then she whispered almost inaudible words. They felt so right to say.

Inuyasha grinned, and hugged Kagome, once again bringing the girl in his lap. "Tell me again." He whispered.

"I love you." Then Inuyasha almost attacked her mouth, pressing her back to the bed and putting one leg on either side of her. He kept himself off of her with his arms.

"Inuyasha." She said, almost moaning the name as she felt Inuyasha starting to kiss down her jaw line to her neck. The light touches were silently setting her on fire. Inuyasha could feel her heart beat increase as he gently sucked on her pulse point.

He traveled down her chest, slowly edging his hand underneath her shirt to knead her stomach. Kagome arched up into his soft touch. Then Inuyasha inched the shirt up without any protest. It was soon off and discarded on the floor. He looked into her eyes, and she nodded.

Inuyasha soon had the white bra off of Kagome's chest, and was staring at two wonderfully full mounds of flesh. He tenderly let his tongue caress one of the nipples, hearing the gasp coming from Kagome.

He decided that she liked the attention, bringing first the right peak into a hardened state before moving to her left breast. She was now running her hands through Inuyasha's black hair, letting out soft moans.

The man lifted his head from his chest, and licked up her neck until he placed a rough kiss on her lips. His tongue presses against the opening of her lips, being excepted immediately. He caressed his tongue with hers, letting his hands travel lower. He managed to pull down her pants and panties without breaking their searing kiss. Kagome sighed, frustrated at not being able to touch any of him.

All of her thoughts ceased when she felt a finger push against her folds, rubbing up and down, pressing against the little nub of flesh that had control of the ultimate pleasure. She let out a moan against his lips as she felt a finger slip inside of her, before another.

"Inuyasha." She gasped, his fingers setting a fast tempo for her hips to follow. She could barely control the whimpers escaping her lips. Inuyasha stopped his movements, pulling his fingers outside of her, before lifting them to his face so he could lick them clean. Seeing this, Kagome felt herself getting more wet.

Inuyasha got off the bed suddenly, pulling off his shirt, pants, and boxers, releasing his very hard member. Kagome could only stare at the effects of his arousal. He was of an average size, and that pleased Kagome's lust filled mind.

"Kagome, do you want this as much as I do?" he asked, pressing a light kiss to her forehead. "A lot happened today, we can always do this another time."

The girl smiled, reaching up into the kiss. She whispered a `yes' against his lips. Then Inuyasha moved to the side of the bed, opening the draw of the small table to take out a condom. He had always carried one or two with him, never really believing that he would need them. Inuyasha had never felt any emotion for so long.

Now because of some 19 year old girl he found, he was going from one extreme to another, dropping most of his bad habits to please her. Kagome took the contraceptive out of his hand and opened it, then pulled it down Inuyasha's erection. She had always admired Inuyasha for having everything just in case.

"A lot happened today Kagome, but I'll always be there for you. Don't forget that." He said, before moving his member to her entrance. He took her hands and lifted them above her head, tangling his fingers with hers as he thrust up into her. She winced at the feeling of the foreign object entering her.

Inuyasha met up with a barrier, getting in a little deeper to break it. As Kagome opened her mouth to let go of a cry, Inuyasha placed his lips against hers, swallowing any sound coming from the girl.

Once he felt her relax, he began to move in and out of her, at first very slowly, but with her pleading cries he picked up the pace of their love making.

The two were almost at their peaks of pleasure. Kagome was moaning as she felt Inuyasha moving faster inside of her. She felt herself tighten around his member as reached her orgasm. Inuyasha was very close.

"I love you Kagome." He cried as he thrusted one last time before letting himself go inside of her. He leaned over to place a tired kiss against her temple. Before he could fall on top of her sweaty form, he took himself out of her before setting himself to lie down at her side.

After several minutes of breathing, he got up and disposed of the used condom, getting a wet towel from the bathroom to wipe Kagome's body from the sweat and her pleasure. She continued to throb, feeling the cool material moving across her body. She sighed happily. After cleaning himself up, he asked Kagome to get up from on top of the bed covers.

She slowly got up and leaned against a chair as Inuyasha changed the sheets before returning to her side to kiss her. He nuzzled her cheek, placing his hands on her hips. She yawned against his shoulder. Inuyasha picked the girl up and placed her under the covers on the bed before climbing in to lie next to her. She didn't mind that they were both going to sleep in the nude.

"You mean it?" she asked quietly.

Inuyasha spooned himself against her back to place his head in the crook of her neck before wrapping an arm around her slim waist. "That I love you? Of course Kagome. I…I never felt this way before." He whispered the last part.

"I'm not going to be alone, am I?" she asked him, smiling at his warm response from her earlier question.

"`Course not, I'll always be there." He said, before whispering that they should go to sleep, noting that they would have to leave the following morning so they wouldn't end up missing too much of their work.

--

That was simply the longest I have ever written, and it took nearly two hours too! As you read, I added the lemon. And I like to point out that Akkou (Kagome's dad's name) means `evil' in Japanese. Also, I know Inuyasha is kinda OOC, but as I wrote, he dropped some of his bad habits [like the ones you can see in the anime] when he met up with Kagome and his emotions were turned upside down. I don't know how many more chapters I'm goin' to have after this, but there will be a few left. I know I reached the point where I finished the `first plot' of this story, and hopefully I don't make the other chapters seem to drag on something pointless, but I can promise another lemon in the not too distant future. And come on folks, I'd really like some more reviews if I spend such a long time typing these chapters for you to read.
