InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ I'll Be There For You ❯ Kidnapped ( Chapter 14 )

Chapter 14: Kidnapped

 

******************

 

“Damn it, Miroku! She's gone!” Inuyasha glared at his friend. “That Shippo guy is missing as well! He took Kagome, and I would be willing to bet that he's the one behind the notes and sabotaging my car!” He slammed his fist into the wall in frustration.

 

“Inuyasha, are you 100% sure that it was Shippo that took Kagome? After all, we've known him for years. Why would he do such a thing?” Sango looked confused. Inuyasha growled at her.

 

“Tell us again what happened.”

 

Inuyasha took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. “Kagome and I were taking a break from dancing when Shippo came up and asked to speak to Kagome privately. She went with him out to the patio. About five minutes later, I felt a surge of fear through the bond, and then nothing. I tried to find her, but she was no where to be found. That is when I got you guys.”

 

Sango looked at Inuyasha thoughtfully. “Do you think you could reach Kagome through the dream thing?”

 

Inuyasha looked startled. “I could try. I would need to be somewhere quiet, so I could fall asleep though. Kagome would also have to be sleeping.”

 

“Let's go back to my place like we had originally planned. You should be able to sleep there.” Inuyasha agreed and the group headed to Miroku's car.

 

Arriving at Sango's house, they made their way inside. Inuyasha made himself comfortable on the couch and tried to calm himself enough to sleep. It was not easy as he could hear Miroku and Sango murmuring in the next room and he was worried about Kagome. Finally, he managed to fall asleep.

 

~~~~Dream~~~~

 

Inuyasha found himself on the grassy hillside. Looking around, he spied Kagome huddled beneath a tree, crying.

 

“Kagome, are you okay? What happened? Where are you?” At Inuyasha's voice, the young woman leapt up and ran to him, almost knocking him down.

 

“Inuyasha! I am so glad you're here! I am so scared!” she sobbed into his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around the hysterical girl and held her tightly.

 

“Shh, I am here. Everything will be okay,” he told her repeatedly in a soothing voice. As her crying slowed, Inuyasha sat down with her still wrapped in his arms.

 

“Kagome, I need to know what happened.”

 

Kagome sniffled and took a deep, calming breath. “Shippo and I went out to the patio. He took my hand and told me that he had been stupid to let me go in Jr. High. He told me that he knew that we were destined to be together. He tried to kiss me, but I pushed him away. He got angry and hit me. I must have passed out. I don't know where I am, where he took me. Inuyasha, I am scared.” She shuddered in his arms; Inuyasha held her tighter.

 

“Don't worry, `Gome, I will find you. You need to be strong for me, okay? Don't give up on me.” Looking into his eyes, Kagome nodded. Inuyasha smiled gently and starting placing gently butterfly kisses on her eyes and face. “Remember, I will always be here for you. I will come for you as soon as I can.”

 

~~~End Dream~~~

 

Later that morning

 

“Miroku, Sango, I talked to Kagome. She said that Shippo hit her and she passed out. Do either of you know where he may have taken her?” They both shook their heads.

 

“We should call the police, Inuyasha.”

 

“You can try, but I don't think that they will do anything until she has been missing for 24 hours. After all, the only proof we have is what Kagome told me through the dream connection, and that is not something I really want to try to explain to the police.” Inuyasha leaned his head back on the couch, his eyes closing in frustration. Miroku held Sango's hand, trying to provide comfort to the distraught girl.

 

Sitting up quickly, Inuyasha grabbed his phone. “I have an idea!” Punching in a number, he listened impatiently until the other line was picked up.

 

“Hey Sess…yeah, I know what time it is, but it's an emergency! (pause) If you would shut up a moment, I'd tell you… Kagome's been kidnapped. I need to you get me all of the information on a Shippo…” Inuyasha looked at Sango, “what's his last name?”

 

“Kitsune”

 

“Yeah, his name is Shippo Kitsune… yeah… As soon as possible. Thanks!” Inuyasha shut his phone before explaining. “Sesshomaru will get us the info on Shippo, everything from driving violation to addresses of distant relatives. He should be calling back shortly.”

 

Miroku stared at Inuyasha in surprise. “What does your brother do that he has access to that kind of information that quickly?”

 

Inuyasha chuckled humorlessly. “He is a big mucky-muck in the government; always sticking his nose in other people's business.” Miroku and Sango looked at each other in awe; Inuyasha just shook his head.

“It is time to wake up my dear.”

 

Kagome struggled to open her eyes. Trying to bring a hand up to rub her stiff neck, she found that she was bound to a wooden chair, unable to move. Opening her eyes, she found herself in a strange, dingy, studio apartment. There were dirty dishes stacked in the sink across from where she sat. Along one side of the room lay a tattered mattress covered in blankets that had seen better days. On the other side of the room was a TV. But what caught Kagome's eyes were the thousands of photos that literally papered the walls. Everyone of them was of her. Some of them were from Jr. High, while others were as recent as graduation day.

 

Kagome tried not to show the terror that was building within her, but gave out a squeak when Shippo came around from behind her with another chair. Placing it in front of her, he straddled it, resting his arms on its back.

 

“I am so glad you are here, my dear Kagome. I hope that you like it. Soon, we will marry and I will be able to take care of you.”

 

“Why are you doing this? I thought we were friends.” Kagome was pleased that her voice was steady. Hopefully, Shippo couldn't tell that she was frightened of him.

 

“Oh my dear, we are more than friends. We are destined to be together. You are mine, and I am yours.” He reached out and trailed his fingers along side her face. Kagome couldn't help but to flinch at his touch. Shippo drew back angrily.

 

“Why do you do that? Why do you pull away from me? I love you, Kagome, you are my life.”

 

Kagome stared at the young man in front of her. The look in his eyes terrified her; his tone of voice was flat. She didn't know what to do. “Shippo, if you love me, why not let me go. Tying me in this chair doesn't show love…”

 

“NO!” Shippo stood quickly, thrusting the chair out of the way. “I can't let you go. You'll go back to that Inuyasha. I tried to tell you to stay away from him, but you didn't listen. I even tried to scare you away by messing with his car. I hope that you can forgive me, my dear. You were not supposed to get hurt. That was not my intention. But even then, you refused to stay away from him. Therefore, I can't let you go. But don't worry. Soon you'll understand and we'll be together always.”

 

Shippo reached out, grabbing Kagome by the back of her neck and crushed a savage kiss upon her lips. Stepping back, he smiled and caressed her cheek. “You be good and I will be back in a bit. Don't go anywhere.” He started to giggle maniacally as he left the apartment.

 

Kagome sat shaking in the chair, tears rolling down her cheeks. “Oh my God! Inuyasha, please hurry! I need you…”
