Chapter 11: Caught

 

Kagome opened the car door and Shippo jumped out immediately. Kagome got out too and waited for Inuyasha and Souta to get out. A car pulled up behind Inuyasha's and a man got out of it.

 

Kagome looked over and froze. “Shit, Souta let's get inside, now,” Kagome said and ran towards the house.

 

“Where's the fire Kagome?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“Excuse me!” the man called.

 

Inuyasha turned around to face the man and asked, “Can I help you?”

 

“My name is Kenji and that is my daughter,” Kenji said.

 

“Well, that girl up there has no parents, so if you'll excuse me,” Inuyasha smiled and turned to toss Kagome the keys to the house.

 

Kenji grabbed Inuyasha's shoulder and asked, “What did she do to make you keep her? Did she sleep with you to keep you quiet?”

 

Inuyasha grew angry at those comments and glared at Kenji. “If you don't get your hand off of me you're going to regret it,” Inuyasha growled.

 

“What can you do? You're just a kid,” Kenji laughed.

 

Inuyasha smile sweetly then punched Kenji in the nose. Kenji fell backwards with a broken nose. “I told you to let go of me. Don't ever come back here again! Kagome is not a whore, she is a decent woman and she doesn't want to go with you!” Inuyasha yelled. He turned and walked into the house with Kagome and Souta.

 

“Thank you Inuyasha!” Kagome smiled and hugged him.

 

“That was so cool! Will you teach me to fight like that?” Souta asked.

 

“Sure kid. I'll teach you later, when Kagome isn't around,” Inuyasha smirked.

 

“No fighting!” Kagome said to Souta and ruffled his hair.

 

“But I need to learn to protect myself against the older kids at school!” Souta said.

 

“You don't even go to school. Which reminds me, we'll have to enroll you the next semester, so you can finish up your education,” Kagome said.

 

“That's not fair! You don't go to school!” Souta whined.

 

“That's because I already graduated and the only school left for me is college,” Kagome said.

 

“Then why don't you go there?” Souta asked.

 

“Because it's too expensive! If you haven't noticed we don't have any money,” Kagome said.

 

“Oh right, I forgot about that little detail,” Souta said.

 

“Do you want to go to college?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“Well I wanted to, but I can't now. You know the silly fantasy of a little girl. Grow up, get an education, get a great job, find the perfect guy, marry him, and have lots and lots of children,” Kagome said.

 

“Those dreams can come true you know,” Inuyasha smiled.

 

“No, well maybe. If I get some crappy job and work till I'm 30 without spending a cent of my earnings I could probably go to college and be done by the time I'm 35,” Kagome joked.

 

“I'm not kidding. I can put you through college without a problem. Souta can go too when he's ready,” Inuyasha said.

 

“Don't even say that! I'm not taking any more charity from you! I already applied for a job at a clothing store and I am going to earn everything I get from now on and I will pay you back somehow,” Kagome said.

 

“Even if you could pay me back I wouldn't take it,” Inuyasha said walking up the stairs.

 

“And why not?” Kagome asked following him.

 

“Because I'm not as big a jackass as you think I am,” he said going into his room.

 

“I don't think you're a jackass! Okay, well maybe, sometimes, but that doesn't mean I can't pay you back,” she said.

 

“I told you I'm not taking it,” he said taking off his shirt. Kagome suddenly realized where she was and fell silent. Her eyes roamed his beautiful upper body and she finally saw how attractive Inuyasha really was. This was getting out of hand.

 

First Inuyasha was the sweet hero that saved her and her brother from the cruel world. Then he was a fun friend to hang out with. Now he's a sexy roommate that she was starting to like, actually like.

 

Kagome looked down and turned to leave.

 

“Come on Kags. Don't be so shy,” Inuyasha smirked.

 

“I'm not shy! I'll be in my room,” Kagome stated and ran to her room. Her heart was pounding in her ears. She couldn't believe that she was beginning to like him.

 

“Don't be like that Kagome. I mean we kissed and all, so why are you so embarrassed,” Inuyasha said entering her room, still shirtless.

 

“We…kissed…?” Kagome repeated shocked. Did they really kiss?

 

“Yeah, the night of your birthday. You don't remember do you?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“No I just might need a little reminding,” Kagome whispered.

 

“Did I just hear you say you want to be reminded of that kiss?” Inuyasha asked confused.

 

“Shit! Did I say that out loud?” Kagome asked.

 

“I think you did,” Inuyasha said.

 

“Get out! Right now! Get out of my room!” Kagome yelled hitting him on the back.

 

“Hey! What did I do? You are the one who can't resist me,” Inuyasha teased.

 

“Just get out please. I want to be alone right now,” Kagome said hugging a pillow.

 

“Alright, I know what this is about. That man outside, am I right?” Inuyasha asked.

 

She had completely forgot about Kenji, but now that she was reminded there was another problem added to her list.

 

“Yeah, it is,” Kagome sighed.

 

“Don't worry Kagome I'll protect you from him,” he smiled then left.

 

Kagome stared at the doorway. She felt tears come to her eyes and she dug her face into her pillow. She screamed into it and then laid back. She was terrified. Terrified of Kenji. Would he try to get her back? Would everything go back to the way it was?

 

She couldn't let that happen. She wouldn't let that happen.

Inuyasha looked out the window and saw Kagome and Souta playing with Shippo. He watched Kagome carefully and found himself smiling when he saw her laughing. He shook his head and went back to paperwork Sesshomaru had given him.

 

Inuyasha wanted Kagome as his mate and mating had nothing to do with love. Dogs always had a way of sensing who would become their mate the first time they saw them. That's why he had saved her. That day so many months ago he felt something pull him in a certain direction. The moment he saw her standing in the middle of the street he knew she would be his. That's when he ran out and saved her.

 

Then when she looked at him, she had this glint in her eyes. She was innocent and beautiful then she was gone. He wanted to go after her, but he knew he shouldn't. Kagome was going to be his, so he would wait for her to find him.

 

Then there was that day in the park. They day she tried to steal his wallet. The second he looked into her eyes he knew that something terrible had happened to her. She had lost the innocence she once held. She had lost that glint. He didn't know what happened, but he wanted to comfort her.

 

He was really acting out of character lately. He couldn't help himself around her. When his friends came over he had showed his true colors, but that was only because he was in his half demon form. Kagome still treated him the same, as if he weren't any different from her. He could tell she was afraid when he had first showed her his true self, but then her fear disappeared for some reason.

 

Inuyasha sighed and found himself staring at her again. He liked Kagome a lot, but would he ever grow to love her? Did he already love her? Every time he looked at her he felt that he really wanted to be with her as a friend, instead of a mate. Sure being a mate wasn't a bad thing, but there was no love in any of it. Mating was created so a species could reproduce, so it was just pure physical attraction.

 

“God! Stop thinking about this and work!” Inuyasha growled at himself and tried to get back to the paperwork. Sirens cut off his train of thought and he couldn't help but notice how loud they were. He heard the screeching of tires and stood up.

 

What was going on? Why did they sound like they were right outside? He walked out to Kagome and Souta and asked, “Did you two hear sirens?”

 

“Yeah, they sound like they are in the front yard,” Kagome said.

 

“Let's go check it out!” Souta said and ran to the front door.

 

Three police cars were parked in front of Inuyasha's house. “Step out of the house and give us Kagome,” a voice called out over a megaphone.

 

Kagome looked out the window and saw Nameo and Kenji standing next to the police. “Come out now, or we will use force.”

 

“What are we going to do?” Souta asked.

 

“Nothing, you two are going to stay here,” Kagome said and opened the front door.

 

“You aren't going out there!” Inuyasha yelled closing the door.

 

“I have to! I'll go out there and explain that I ran away and to leave you out of it,” Kagome said.

 

“What about Souta? He needs you,” Inuyasha said.

 

“Take care of him for me,” Kagome smiled.

 

“Don't do this Kagome,” Souta said.

 

“I have to,” Kagome said. She opened the door and walked outside holding her hands in the air.

 

“Please don't do anything! I'm Kagome!” she called out as the cops lowered their guns.

 

What looked to be the head cop ran over to Kagome and pulled her behind the cars.

 

“Where is the kidnapper?” the cop asked.

 

“What kidnapper?” Kagome asked.

 

“The one who kidnapped you dear,” Nameo said.

 

“I wasn't kidnapped. I ran away!” Kagome said.

 

“Why would you run away?” the cop asked.

 

“Because these people made me into a prostitute!” Kagome said.

 

“What an imagination you have!” Kenji laughed. The front door of the house opened and Inuyasha walked out. All the policemen raised their guns.

 

“No! Don't shot! He's not armed!” Kagome yelled. Inuyasha ran forward to talk to the cop. A gunshot rang out throughout the neighborhood and Kagome's eyes widened as Inuyasha fell to the ground.

 

“Who shot that?!” the head policeman yelled. Kagome tried to run forward, but Kenji held her arm.

 

“I thought she said shot, he's armed,” the cop that shot the gun stated.

 

“You shot him! You shot him!” Kagome cried and pulled away from Kenji.

 

She ran to Inuyasha as he was sitting up. He held his side and stood up panting. Kagome threw her arms around his neck and said, “I told you not to come out here! Why did you do it?!”

 

“You can't go with them, Kagome. You have to stay with Souta. Stay with me,” he said as his vision swirled. Another siren could be heard. Someone had called an ambulance.

 

Kagome let go of Inuyasha and turned to the police. “Those people are not fit to be parents! They forced me to become a whore for them because they were running out of money! I don't know if there is any way to prove it, but I can assure you that a man paid them to have sex with me!” Kagome yelled.

 

“Is that true?” the cop asked Kenji.

 

“Of course it isn't!” Kenji shouted.

 

“It's true, I'm their son and I was the one who helped Kagome run away,” another voice said from the car.

 

Seiji appeared and smiled at Kagome. “You two will be brought in for questioning. We will examine the girl and if what she says is true you will be put in jail for a long, long time,” the cop stated.

 

Kagome looked for Inuyasha and saw him being walked over to the ambulance. Kagome ran inside the house and grabbed her brother, bringing him outside.

 

“What's going on?” Souta asked.

 

“We are going with the cops and Kenji and Nameo are going to jail for a long time,” Kagome smiled as she watched her former foster parents getting handcuffed and put into the back of a cop car.

 

This turned out to be a good day aside from Inuyasha being shot. Maybe she would be able to stay by Inuyasha after all.
