InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Her Fading Smile ❯ Her Fading Smile ( Chapter 2 )

Note that there is a rape scene later in the chapter

 

“Ok Kouga, what should our topic be? We can do either life at war for the men, or life at home with the women and children. Mr. Naku said that it has to be at least 5 pages. I don't really mind what we do.” Kagome questioned Kouga on their way to her house. Actually it's Miroku's house. After her parents and brother were killed in a car accident, she had to move from Kyoto to Tokyo to live with her uncle Mushin and cousin Miroku. She didn't really mind. Miroku was a pervert, but he never tried anything on her, thank goodness. She didn't really see Miroku that much anymore though, he was always with Sango, her best friend in the whole world. Since they were always gone, she was usually alone or with Inuyasha or Kouga. She really preferred Inuyasha, but Kouga kept coming up to her, and she couldn't decline his offers. She hadn't seen Inuyasha lately anyway. He would usually hang out with Miroku, but ever since he started dating Sango, she wasn't sure what he was doing. She considered going over to his house or something, but she never had time anymore. She sighed to herself and continued thinking.

 

“Kagome, are you Ok?” Kouga asked her, waving his hand in front of her face. “I don't think you heard a word I said, what were you thinking about?”

 

Kagome quikly blinked and looked up to Kouga. “Hmm? Oh, uh, nothing really. Guess I just wasn't paying attention.” She replied.

 

“I see.” Kouga laughed. “I was just saying that I think we should do the life for the women and kids, I mean it must have been really tough on them without the men.”

 

Kagome just nodded and they continued to walk in silence for awhile. As usual, it was Kouga who broke the ice, but he wasn't talking to Kagome this time.

 

VVVV

 

“Yo Muttface!” Inuyasha heard. He was walking over to his house with Miroku talking about some random thing when he heard the voice of the one person he really didn't want to deal with.

 

“What the hell do you want wolf-shit?” Inuyasha replied, irritated. He turned around and saw Kouga, with Kagome lagging behind him.

 

“Kouga just leave him alone. We need to work on the project, it's due Monday.” Kagome told him. She really didn't want another fight on her hands. She just wanted to go home, do the project and take a nice hot bath.

 

“Of course Kagome! Let us go!” Kouga replied, grabbing Kagome's hand and glaring at Inuyasha, as if to say Ha ha, I win again!

 

Inuyasha scowled and quickly turned around and started walking faster.

 

“Inuyasha, you know she doesn't like Kouga like that.” Miroku stated, once again running to catch up.

“Yeah, yeah. Let's just get the damn project over with.”

 

VVVV

 

“Augh it's raining!” Kagome shrieked as water droplets began to fall onto her. She really hated how her uniform blouse was white, any longer in the rain, and her shirt would be completely see-through.”

 

“Come on there's my house!” Kouga shouted. He tightened his hold a bit on Kagome's arm, missing her wince, and started running to the door. Once safely inside, he let go of her arm, not noticing that she cradled it almost instantly. “Do you want anything to eat or something?”

 

“No, it's ok.” Kagome replied, walking over to the room where Kouga's cousin Ayame used to live, before she moved out. “Is it fine if I change into some of Ayame's clothes? I really don't want to stay in these wet clothes” Kagome asked.

 

Kouga started at her a moment, then nodded. “Yeah, you know where it is.” He stated, then went to grab some papers and other materials. Kagome wondered what he was staring at, until she passed a mirror and noticed that as she thought, her blouse was completey see-through, her light pink bra clearly showing. She gasped, and quickly ran to put on some clothes. She quickly out on jeans and a red halter top. She was about to go, but then quickly put on a black sweatshirt. As she returned, she saw Kouga sitting at a desk, sitting thoughtfully and tapping his chin with the pencil. She giggled a bit, finding the scene adorable. She tiptoed up behind him in an attempt to surprise him. An attempt that failed miserably.

 

“Trying to sneak up on me, huh?” Kouga asked her, smiling a bit. “Well I can't allow that!”

 

Kagome shrieked and tried to run, laughing all the way, “No Kouga!” She laughed, Kouga obviously caught her, after all he was waaaay faster than her. He wrapped his arms around her in an attempt to catch her, but it only resulted in her tripping and falling with him on top of her. Their position was awkward, but neither seemed to notice. The laughter stopped, and they just stared at each other, the happy mood gone.

 

“Kagome...” Kouga mumbled. She was so beautiful! He had to have her, had to. So sweet, so innocent, Kami, she was perfect! He leaned in. “Can I… Can I kiss you?

 

Time stopped for Kagome and she mentally screamed. “What? Kouga! N—“ Kouga was already ahead of her, not listening to her at all.

 

His lips were on her and she gasped, the reality of the situation was still a shock to Kagome and she just lay there. Kouga took the opportunity and the next thing she knew Kouga had shoved his tongue in her mouth, fumbling around in her mouth. It seemed like forever, but after three seconds, Kagome finally took hold of what was happening and tried to push him off of her. A second later Kouga got up and seemed to realize what he just did, but he felt no remorse. He started to take off his shirt, and Kagome instantly realized what was happening. Quick to fight back, she was not about to let what Kouga wanted happen.

“No, Kouga, STOP! She screamed. This wasn't funny and now she just wanted to go home. She could hear the rain pelting down hard, and she started fight back as Kouga started to take of her sweatshirt. That is, until she felt a bulge against her stomach. A very large bulge that belonged to Kouga. She froze and Kouga chuckled.

 

“I don't think you understand. I need you Kagome, now. I want you, and I have to have you. Please. Please say yes.”

 

“No, Kouga, please don't do this!” She screamed, but to no avail. The power suddenly went out, and it was pitch black. She screamed again, and started to run. She was terrified, and fumbled against objects, but that didn't matter, she had to escape from Kouga. She had to!

 

“Don't bother running Kagome.” She heard Kouga say, it sounded close. Too close. The kind of close that was right in front of you, but you don't realize it until you already crash into the person you're trying to escape from. He grabbed her wrists with one hand and slapped her across her cheek on the other.

 

“Listen up and listen good. I have been chasing after you for years. You! I chased you when I could have any girl I wanted! Now it's been too damn long. I have waited and now it's time I get what I want. Don't make this hard. We both know I'm going to get what I want; now we can do this the easy way or the hard way. You choose.” Kagome whimpered and tried to shrink back, only to hit the wall. “Good.” Kouga smirked, and leaned in.

 

He captured her lips again and fumbled with her shirt, Kagome tried to stop him, she really did, but he pinched her arm with his nail. She felt blood drip and froze. Kouga threw her shirt and proceed to her bra. He fumbled around for the hook, and quickly found it. Kagome whimpered as it fell to the floor. Kouga stopped and stepped back,

He grinned and roughly grabbed her breasts. The feeling of having her breasts handled so roughly, especially like this, was enough to make her want to cry out in pain or vomit.

 

By now, tears were rolling down Kagome's face as she continued to struggle in vain. She didn't want her first time to be like this. She hated this feeling. No man would want damaged goods like her. She wanted to save herself, but she knew she couldn't. Not against someone as strong as Kouga.

 

“You're so beautiful” Kouga moaned, as he started to unbutton her jeans. Kagome was still crying and was startled how Kouga seemed to care less. It was as if he had no moral problems with raping her, she couldn't believe that this was the same Kouga as before. He seemed different. The Kouga she knew would never do this. Never! 

 

Her jeans were now gone, and her panties were being ripped off. Kouga was careless and scratched her thigh, blood streaming down her legs. She screamed in pain and cried harder, trying to hide her now fully naked body from the monster in front of her. Kouga leaned in and whispered in her ear, sending shivers down her spine.

 

“Don't move a muscle.” And he let go of her.

 

Kagome couldn't really see well, tears blurred her vision and it was still dark from the power outage. She could faintly see Kouga taking his pants off, and debated in her mind whether or not she could escape. Just as she was about to make a run for it, she felt Kouga grab her again, and felt a bulge against her stomach, and realized he wasn't wearing his clothes now either. The realization hit her like a rock, as if she realized he was really going to go through with it. She struggled harder, hoping for some kind of miracle to escape.

 

Until it happened. He plunged into her, right up to the hilt. Her eyes widened and she screamed. Loud. The tears came down faster now, and she violently shook. Kouga pulled out of her and thrust back in. He continued to plunge into her as hard as fast as he could. The pain was immense and she felt like she was being ripped open with a knife, and the pain wouldn't stop. She kept trying to fight back, but it was no use. She wanted to just pass out, or die. Anything to make it all go away.

 

Just as she felt like she was going to pass out, she felt something warm rush up inside of her. She gasped with realization that Kouga just released inside of her. She couldn't scream anymore, her voice hoarse, so she just cried silent tears as she prayed she wouldn't get pregnant. It seemed to last hours, and maybe it did, but eventually Kouga pulled out of her one last time with a laugh, and moved away.

 

“You know, we should do this again sometime.” And with that, he walked away.

 

Kagome didn't know where he was going, and frankly, she could care less. She just wanted to die. She didn't know where her clothes were, she didn't know what time it was, she was in Kouga's house, somewhere inside. She curled into a ball and rocked herself, trying to erase the pain. She didn't how much time passed, but eventually the lights came back on and she saw she was back in the living room, the desk with the history work there, sitting innocently as if nothing happened. The only evidence that anything happened was a lamp she knocked over, blood on her arm and legs, a bruise on her cheek, and her lack of clothes that she still couldn't find. She sniffed and looked for her bra and panties, quickly finding them. Her jeans were ripped and couldn't stay on her, the shirt gone somewhere, and her sweatshirt was nowhere to be seen. All that was left were Kouga's clothes. She didn't want to walk home clad in her underwear, and she didn't want to wear Kouga's clothes, but since there was nothing else she could do, she quietly slipped into them and ran out the door, ignoring the pain searing between her legs.

 

It was still raining, but you couldn't tell if there were tears or raindrops on her face. The clothing hiding her cuts, all you could see were red eyes and a forming bruise. She saw the lights on in her home, and saw three silhouettes. She knew one was Miroku's, one was her Uncle's, and the other was Inuyasha, she could see the dog ears. She didn't want to deal with them, or anyone, so she turned around and started to walk. She didn't know where she was going, she just wanted to go.

 

VVVV

 

Inuyasha laughed at something Mushin said. He didn't know what he was laughing at, but Miroku was laughing so he decided to as well. After several hours of playing video games at Inuyasha house, Miroku invited Inuyasha over to his house for dinner. Kagome wasn't there yet, but Miroku said she was probably still working on the project. That was 2 hours ago, and she still wasn't back. It was already 9:00 PM, and he was beginning to worry, and although they weren't showing it, he was pretty sure that Miroku and Mushin were too.

 

“Hey, isn't that Kagome over there?” Mushin asked. He was facing the window and telling jokes while they all waited for Kagome to return, and he saw a figure walking towards their house, then quickly turn around. He wasn't sure, but he could have sworn it was Kagome.

 

“What, where?!” Miroku exclaimed. He quickly shot up and turned around, looking for Kagome, Inuyasha right beside him. He figured that Kagome would probably change into some of Ayame's clothes, but was surprised that she was wearing Kouga's. He quickly grabbed his jacket and shoes and ran out the door. Inuyasha started to follow, but Mushin told him to get a towel for Kagome. He stared out the window, and reluctantly agreed.

 

VVVV

 

“Kagome! Wait!” Miroku shouted across the street. He saw Kagome flinch and slowly turn around. A million questions ran through his mind, but he tried to ignore them as he ran to catch up. Luckily for him, Kagome stopped. He caught up with her and started to ask her where the hell she's been, but stopped when he saw her face. It was still raining, so he couldn't tell if she was crying, but he saw that her eyes were red, and the beginning signs of a bruise were on her cheek. His eyes widened and he grabbed her arms, not missing the wince she gave off.

 

“Kagome…what…what happened to you?” He asked. She only cried, and this time, he could tell they were tears, and not raindrops. He wrapped her into a hug, and decided not to question her, ideas forming in his mind, and hoped he was wrong. Together they walked back into the house.

 

VVVV

 

Kagome really didn't want to deal with Mushin, Miroku, and definatly not Inuyasha. She didn't want to deal with anyone, but she couldn't just turn around and run away now, it would seem suspicious, and she didn't want anyone to think that anything happened. She knew they would question her. She started to think of some kind of lie she could tell everyone that would explain the bruise and cuts, although she didn't think anyone could see the cuts now.

 

As she walked in the house, she tried to keep her head down. Her eyes were still red and she didn't want anyone to notice. She felt someone drape a towel around her, and looked up to see Inuyasha. He smiled down at her, and normally she would smile back, but now she just looked back down. She whispered a thank you and then walked up to her room, closing the door behind her, she was so tired right now, she just wanted to sleep. She lay down on her bed, and cried herself to sleep, clutching the towel tightly around her.

 

VVVV

 

“What the hell happened?”

 

“Is she ok?”

 

Miroku mentally sighed. As soon as they heard the door close, Mushin and Inuyasha both turned to him and demanded to know what happened, well, Inuyasha was more demanding than Mushin.

 

“I'm not sure, but, but I think she was—“

 

“Was what?” Inuyasha demanded.

 

“I was getting to that, now shut up!” Miroku exclaimed, quickly losing his patience. He loved Kagome like a sister, and he prayed to any God that was listening that he was wrong.

 

“I think she might have been raped.”

 

“WHAT?”

 

That time it was Mushin, Inuyasha was just standing there in shock. It didn't really surprise Miroku that Mushin exploded like he did, After all, Kagome was like his daughter. They were a family. No one wants to hear that their child, or sister, was raped. No one. He still couldn't believe it, but Kagome, she was showing all the signs…

 

“Be quiet, she's probably sleeping!” Miroku snapped. He was frustrated by this whole thing.

 

“Who the hell did it?” Inuyasha growled. Although he would never admit it, he liked Kagome, more than a friend. To hear that she was raped, well, it tore him apart. Kagome didn't deserve that. No one did.

 

“I don't know Inuyasha! I don't even know if she was raped or not! I mean, I really hope she wasn't, but she's showing all the signs, she flinched when I call out to her, she has a bruise on her cheek, hell, she's been crying, and we both know that Kagome Higurashi rarely cries.” Miroku shouted, his voice gradually rising.

 

Mushin and Inuyasha just stood there, staring at him. Miroku never shouted at anyone, no matter what. Miroku couldn't take it anymore, and he collapsed. He wasn't crying, but he was definatly upset. Mushin walked over to him and sat down with him. Inuyasha felt out of place. He wanted to go comfort Kagome, but he didn't know what to say.

 

“It was Kouga wasn't it? That bastard! If he thinks he can get away with it, he's got another thing coming!” Inuyasha growled. He walked over to the door, throwing on his jacket and slipping his shoes on. “You coming Miroku?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“Inuyasha stop. We can't just show up on Kouga's doorstep demanding to know if he raped her.”

 

“And why the hell not?! Kagome goes to his house after school, doesn't come back home until 9:00, and seems like she's just been raped, it sure sounds like the bastard raped her to me!” Inuyasha shouted. Miroku quickly stood up.

 

“And what if it was someone else who raped her? And Kouga just lent her some clothes? Maybe they were attacked on their way home after seeing us? We don't know for sure and we can't go blaming him until we do!” Miroku shot back.

 

“Then why was she wearing the same clothes he was wearing today!” Inuyasha roared. Miroku froze in realization. He hadn't noticed that, and it was suspicious…

 

“That…that bastard…” Miroku whispered.

 

“Exactly, now are you coming or not?”

 

“You still can't go. Right now Kagome needs you here. Miroku I will not let you go, and Inuyasha I strongly advise that you don't. I know it seems like Kouga raped our Kagome, but there could be something we're missing. You will both stay here and wait until Kagome wakes up. Then we will choose what to do.” Mushin spoke up. Reluctantly they agreed and sat back down. “Miroku, Why don't you call Sango? She can probably help Kagome more than we can at the moment, especially if she really was… was raped.” Mushin choked out. Miroku nodded and went to call Sango.

 

Mushin turned to Inuyasha. “You can either stay here and wait till Kagome awakens, or you can return to your home. Sesshomaru might be worried.”

 

Inuyasha scoffed. “Sesshomaru could careless about me.”

 

“Then you'll be staying here?”

 

Inuyasha said nothing. He just continued to look out the window. He turned around to say something, but Mushin was already gone. He turned around again, and saw a car approaching the window. Sango got out and ran to the door, leaving the car engine on, but not noticing. Miroku seemed to hear the engine, as he ran to the door and opened it before Sango could ring the doorbell and take a chance waking up Kagome.

 

“Where… where is she?” Sango panted. Miroku just nodded in the direction of the stairs. “She might be asleep.” He told her as she went upstairs.

 

“Do you think she can help her?” Inuyasha asked Miroku as they watched her retreat up the stairs.

 

“Of course I do.” Miroku replied.

 

VVVV

 

“Kagome? It's me, Sango. Can I come in?” Sango knocked on Kagome's door. Getting no response she opened the door and entered, quietly closing the door behind her, and turning on the light. What she saw surprised her. Kagome wasn't sleeping like everyone thought; rather she was sitting on her bed, leaning against the wall, reading a book, the lamp nearby turned on.

 

“Oh hi Sango. What are you doing here?” Kagome asked.

 

“Oh, um, well I came to see if you were ok…” Sango replied. Kagome looked perfectly fine to her. Although she could kind of see a bruise on her cheek. “How did you get that?” She asked, gesturing towards the bruise.

 

Kagome raised her hand and fingered the bruise. “Oh this? I tripped on the way to Kouga's house and landed in a puddle. He let me borrow some clothes since mine were wet. No big deal.” Kagome replied. She really didn't want anyone to know what happened, so she just said the first thing that came to her mind. She hoped that Sango believed her…

 

“Oh… um, ok then. Well, I guess I'll see you later then.”

 

“Yeah, bye.”

 

“Bye.” Sango retreated down the stairs and glared at Miroku.

 

“What the hell is your problem?” Sango seethed. “Rape is not something you joke about!”

 

“What? What do you mean? What happened?” Miroku asked, utterly confused. What was Sango talking about?

 

Sango took a deep breath. “You said that Kagome was raped and wanted me to come and talk to her.”

 

“Right” Miroku intervened. “So what's the problem then? Was she asleep or something?”

 

“No. Quite the opposite. She was sitting and reading a book. She was totally fine!”

 

Now Miroku was definatly confused. “Wasn't there a bruise? Weren't her eyes read?”

 

“She said that on her way to Kouga's house, she tripped and fell in a mud puddle, it was raining you know! She said she hit her cheek, which gave her a bruise, and she got some mud in her eyes. Since her clothes were dirty, she borrowed some of Kouga's clothes.”

 

“Keh, you actually believed that lie?” Inuyasha interrupted.

 

“Well… why would she lie to me? We're best friends, practically sisters!”

 

“Maybe, but you haven't seen her lately have you? You've been too busy making out with Miroku here! How would you know!” Inuyasha blew up. “She smelled a lot like Kouga!”

 

“How dare you! I love Kagome like a sister! I… I don't neglect her or anything! And maybe she smells like Kouga cause, well, I don't know, she's wearing his clothes, and has been at his house for hours!” Sango yelled.

 

“Everybody just shut up!” Miroku shouted. “It's late and we're all pissed off. Sango, you can sleep in the guest room or go home if you want, Miroku if you want to stay you can, you can take the couch. I'm going to sleep, and I better not hear another word till tomorrow!” Sango and Miroku turned and stared, surprised that once again, Miroku was yelling, a sure sign that he was extremely frustrated. They nodded and Sango decided to take the guest room. Inuyasha wanted to stay , but he had to pay a visit to someone first. He had a feeling that Miroku knew what he was going to do, but he didn't stop him.

 

“Why do I have the couch?” He asked on his way out.” Miroku just smiled and went up to his room. It's been one hell of a day…

 

VVVV

 

OKKKKK

Wow

Its been a looong time, and im extremely sorry bout the long update. Im not gonna bother explaining, but hey, you got a 9 page chapter that's pretty long! And guess who Inuyasha is gonna visit…. Here are some questions you might have:::

 

Why is Kouga so OOC?

Well, he is a demon in the story, so he pretty much turned into an out-of- control demon after he kissed Kagome.

 

When did Sango turn her car off?

Right before she went to bed.

 

Where did Mushin disappear to?

He went to bed

 

What happened with Kagome when Sango showed up?

Kagome woke up after Inuyasha made his first outburst (in bold) then she basically stayed in bed pondering what happened and cried a bit. Then Sango knocked the door, so she turned the lamp on and grabbed a book and opened it to a random page as if she was reading. Then she told Sango the lie.

 

So yeah, I think that's it now, until next time, and sorry if that's a long time too!

And some people might think it's going to fast, and it might be, but I like it, kind of…. Please let me know what you think! If you don't im gonna have to assume you hate it and I'll stop writing! You can either email me (check profile for address) or you can do the simplest thing ever.
