InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Hidden Past ❯ Chapter 8 ( Chapter 8 )

It was strange really. The whole time he fucked her, he didn't say anything. But what really surprised her, was that neither did she. She didn't even try to stop him. She just gave up, and that's what scared her. She couldn't even protect herself, she always needed Inuyasha. She couldn't even protect what she wanted to save for him. Her virginity. But now it was gone, stolen by the body of her sick, twisted, father. She knew she had to cross the well, to go back to the feudal era. She couldn't stay there. It had taken all her strength to go get the Shikon jewel from her room and return back outside. She was grateful that her father was passed out on the couch, probably from all the beer he drank. She couldn't change. She just didn't want to. As much as she wanted to cry and cry and cry, she knew she couldn't. She had to go back. Then she could cry, cry as hard as she wanted. Not that she hadn't already. Because of all the tears she cried her throat had become dried out, a burning sensation stuck there. Her clothes were torn in all the wrong places. Her shirt was not a shirt, just pieces of her bra that had stuck to her skin. Her body was sore everywhere. Miraculously, she managed to stand up and go down the stairs to the well without falling. She carefully brought her legs over the side of the well the pain coursing through her legs as she did that. Not caring, she pushed herself, falling, falling into the well, the past.

Landing on the ground, she looked up. It was night. Silence filled the area.

She desperately climbed the sides. Nearly half an hour later she was over the edge, resting, leaning against the sides. Oh how she wanted nothing more then to sleep, to sleep and never wake up. But something in the back of her head told her not to. To get to safety. She didn't want to be attacked or raped by a demon. Again.

She tried to get up, she really did, but no matter what she did she just couldn't. She just fell. Unable to take it anymore, she inhaled deeply. Ready to scream.

"INUYASHA!" she screamed out, at the top of her lungs. It was a terrified scream, one that would be made during a matter of life or death. She didn't think anyone would hear her. So she screamed again.

"INUYASHA!"

But no one came.

VVVV

“INUYASHA!”

 

Kaede turned her head. That was strange… she could of sworn she just heard Kagome shrieking for Inuyasha. But that was nonsense, Kagome wasn't supposed to return for a few more days! And why would Kagome shriek like that anyway?

 

“INUYASHA!”

 

There it was again, this time she was certain she heard it. Not really sure what to do, she grabbed her bow and arrows and headed to the well.

 

But age was not on her side today. No sooner had she walked two steps when spasms of pain shot through her right leg. She had been feeling that pain for a few days now, and knew that there was nothing she could but wait for the pain to pass, it could take up to a full day, it happened before. For now all she could do was hope Kagome was safe, because with a horrible feeling in her chest, she realized the screaming stopped. Maybe something happened? She wouldn't know, not yet at least.

“Inuyasha! Wait up!” Shippo cried out. They were still searching for the demon to kill, when Inuyasha suddenly claimed that he smelled an Oni nearby. (Oni's are a type of demon, don't know how to elaborate, sorry) With a burst of speed he ran off to the cave where he smelled it, something told him the Oni had more prey with him. If it wasn't for Kirara, then the group would have lost him bye now. Soon enough they approached the mouth of the cave, an ominous black cloud hovering near the entrance. Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku rushed in, with Kirara and Shippo waiting outside. An hour later they came back out, the job clearly finished, and the Oni taken care. Glad to have killed a demon after a few day's of not having any demon to kill, they decided to celebrate. While they were nearing the well, a soul-freezing scream was heard. One they understood perfectly.

 

“INUYASHA!”

 

A look of shock ran across his face, but as he realized it was Kagome, he quickly ran off in the direction of the scream, in the direction of the well. Not sure what to do, Sango and Miroku headed on to village at a faster pace, with Shippo and Kirara following. They would help Kagome at the village. Right now, she needed Inuyasha.

He ran as fast as he could, his speed increasing as he thought about Kagome in danger. He could smell blood and tears. Her blood and tears. He could smell her terror. Her fear.

Something had happened to her. But what?

He stopped in his tracks when he saw, but yet, he couldn't tell it was her. She was crying uncontrollably, her body shaking violently with each sob she made.

It broke his heart to see her like this. He couldn't understand it. What made her like this? He saw the bruises on her arms… her tattered skirt. No shoes on. Her left cheek was bruised, big purple and blue bruises on her arms. Blood sliding down her mouth, her lips dried. Her hair unruly, as if she not brushed it at all.

Her eyes seem to gather more tears. "Inuyasha..." and then she arched her body to the side and vomited. He quickly ran over to her, and moved her wild hair out of her face.

He could smell it. A man.

A man's scent was on her body...everywhere. In every place he wished he hadn't smelt. Once Kagome's vomiting had ceased she looked up at him, more tears forming in her eyes. He realized what had happen, and instantly his heart broke in two. Why Kagome? Why her? Of all people? It wasn't fair, but he was going to kill him. He was going to kill whoever did this to her. Kagome's soft, teary voice brought him back to reality.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry this happened. I didn't mean for it to happen this way! He was to strong, I…I didn't do anything! I could of stopped him, but" She sniffed. “but I didn't.” She cried. He rocked her back and forth in his arms, he couldn't stand to see her like this. He wanted to do something, anything to help her.

"Kagome this isn't your fault! It's that bastard's fault for touching you..." he couldn't take the unbearable smell of her blood and some man on her, and knew that she hated to be in the condition she was. He picked her small broken body and carried her to the hot springs. He walked right into the springs, not bothering to ask her if she wanted to. A weak gasp escaped her lips as the hot water embraced her body.

"Kagome...you'll feel a little better," he whispered to her. She nodded.

Whatever clothes she had left was basically a ruined bra and ruined skirt, Inuyasha carefully removed them without looking at her. He couldn't help but see bruises that covered her body.

She visibly winced as the hot water poured into her wounds.

He heard footsteps approaching from behind and turned to see Miroku and Sango standing. Sango seem to be holding out bathing materials for him to help Kagome with.

"Is...Is Kagome going to be ok?" asked Miroku, his voice shaken by Kagome's appearance.

"I...don't know," Inuyasha replied softly, his eyes glued to Kagome. She didn't seem to acknowledge her friends. It was that she didn't hear them...or couldn't face them. Too ashamed by what had happened to her.

Nodding, Sango and Miroku walked back to the hut, leaving the two alone..

Inuyasha took a scrubber out of the basket that Sango had just given it to her. He handed it to Kagome and turned away so she could clean herself.

He could hear her wash herself. Suddenly he heard the loud scrubbing from behind. Turning, he saw Kagome scrubbing hard at her skin until it was red.

"I can smell him. I can feel him...please make it go away!" she sobbed.

He rushed back into the water to take away the scrubber, to reassure her, to hold her.

That was all he could do. Hold her. And if it helped, he would do it. Anything for his broken angel.

Wow! Longest chapter so far I think! Well, I liked it. Its emotionally, yes, and sad, yes, and its different from what I have written so far. I still like it though, and I hope you do to. The rape scene will be included, and it should appear as a flashback or dream or something in the next chapter or so. And when Inuyasha heard her scream, it was the second time she screamed, that's why there was only one scream. Well, I gotta go. Happy holidays everyone! Review please!
