Into the Depths of Night
Chapter 3
Kagome starred up at the angry young man surprised. Had he really just told her his name? She held her breath and blinked once. After a few moments she let out a soft breath. `Inuyasha…doesn't that mean…' the voice in her head started to say. Kagome's eyes widened in shock and she took a stop back away from him.
He just stood there, keeping his icy stare away from her. He waited. He was expecting her to scream and run away.
`She has surprised us yet again,' the deep voice echoed in his mind.
`I'd advise you to shut up, before you say something stupid,' Inuyasha growled to the voice. He moved his gaze back towards her. His eyes slowly following the slender curves of her body and the soft delicate skin on her neck.
`Wow…' the voice whispered. Inuyasha managed to block out the voice. He then smelt salt and tears. He growled in annoyance as he looked into her deep chestnut eyes as they start to flow with tears. He started to open his mouth to say something but she interrupted him.
“I'm…I'm never going home am I…?” she softly whispered to him.
He gave her a cold laugh and said, “No, it will be a miracle if you live through the next couple months.” He narrowed his eyes at her and thought it best to leave her alone. As he walked away he glanced over his shoulder and loudly said, “And I will get my answers miko!” Then he slammed the door behind him.
She wanted to scream and run away. She wanted to go back to her family. But, she did not know how to leave.
`Calm down un, before you work yourself up anymore,' came the calm voice, trying to soothe her. Kagome didn't try to respond. She just laid on the large bed in shock. She continued to cry until the tears would no longer come.
`I will n ever see my family again…' she whispered. Her voice didn't respond. `And…and Bankotsu…' her mind fell onto the handsome long black-haired man.
`Ah, yes Bankotsu,' her voice replied coldly. Kagome winced at the sudden change in her voice.
`We will never see him again either…' she whispered as a single tear ran down her cheek.
`And that is a good thing. Hun, don't cry over him…' her voice said annoyed.
`I still…'
`DON'T even say it Kagome. Don't say it. We thought we did, but we were young and didn't know any better. Now, don't even think about that…man. He is the reason why we are here in the first place…'
Kagome frowned. `No, its not. We made the decision to leave…'
Her voice sighed after a moment. `No he shouldn't have let it get so far. Maybe…maybe we should have stopped it a long time ago too…'
Now it was Kagome's turn not to reply. She knew that her voice was right. It had been time to let go. She then sighed softly looking down at the gown she still wore.
`Let's worry about our isses right now. Not past ones…' the soft voice replied
“His name…” Kagome said out loud softly. She bit her lip thinking. “Inuyasha…” she whispered into the empty room. Something moved behind her and she jumped turning around.
She came face to face with the older brother. `Be careful. He looks really pissed off,” her voice whispered. Kagome silently agreed. She held her breath and stood still, trying to figure out what to do.
The older brother starred at the human girl for what seemed to her for hours. He soon took a step toward her. “So, human. It seems that you are more than I first thought,” he calmly said. Kagome didn't move but starred back at him into his deep golden eyes. He then held up his injured arm, showing it to her.
She gasped and wanted to throw up. His arm looked as if it was slowly decaying. His skin was acting it was decomposing right down to the bone, and it was falling off his arm. A horrid stench reached her nose and she quickly brought a hand up to cover her nose. She noticed that he did not bleed red. His blood seemed to have a blackish shine that was far from human. She slowly looked back up at him horrified.
His eyes narrowed dangerously at her reaction. “You will fix this,” he ordered. Kagome slowly shook her head. “This Sesshoumaru demands that you fix this now, or you will lose your life little human,” yelled enraged. Kagome again slowly shook her head, taking more steps back against the wall.
What happen next, Kagome wasn't totally sure. She saw the older brother start to leap at her. His nails growing long and glowing a bright green. She screamed as loud as she could and turned away closing her eyes. She waiting for the end to come. But, it never came.
Her body wouldn't stop shaking as she slowly opened one eyes then the other. She turned around eyes wide at the sight that beheld in front of her. The older brother lay flat on his back, struggling to get free from the pure white rug on the floor. The rug had wrapped itself around his arms, waist, and legs. The brother's blood red eyes look even more enraged as he tried to free himself. Vicious growls erupted into the house.
The next thing Kagome knew, Inuyasha was grabbing her and held her close to his body. She heard him curse and say something else, but her mind wouldn't comprehend what he was saying. She didn't know when or how he got to her room so fast.
He looked down at the first frowning. Her shaking body held onto his tightly and refused to let go as he slowly moved her out of the room.
He growled impatiently as he slowly walked her toward the other wing of the enormous house. He then walked her up another flight of stares, leading to the third floor. He felt her small body continue to shake as she held onto him tighter.
`That damn brother…' he voice growled. Inuyasha took a deep breath to calm himself. `He almost…' his voice started to say.
`Yea, I know…' he sighed sadly looking down at the frightened woman in his arms. He narrowed his eyes at the thought of what might have happened if his mokomokosama hadn't stopped his brother.
He lead Kagome down the hall to the left and opened two huge doors into a very large bedroom. He gently sent her down on the large couch that stood in front of a huge fireplace. She looked up at him, her eyes pleading with him. Trying to tell him something that she wouldn't allow words to say. He very gently ran a clawed hand down her cheek and pushed a soft strain of hair behind her ear. She held her breath watching him carefully, as she starred into his beautiful golden eyes. She blinked and he was gone.
Panic started to rise in her. `I…I can't breath!' she screamed in her head. Her voice just remained silent. Kagome did the only thing she knew to do.
And everything when black.

`How long have we been in here?' she asked into the darkness with a shaky voice.
`Not long…' the soft voice replied shortly.
Kagome opened her eyes into the darkness. It was freezing. She quickly tired to see where she was. `This…this is…wrong…' she said starting to panic again. She tried to free herself from the room, but she couldn't leave. `I can't leave! It won't let me through! I can't get back to our body!' she yelling into her mind.
`Kagome, calm down. Calm down! Don't freak out. If you do we could be lost forever in here,' the voice softly said to her. Kagome closed her eyes biting her lip. She was trying desperately not to cry. `Good, now where do you think we are? Think real hard,' her voice said thoughtfully.
Kagome sat still trying to think. She had not gotten a good look at the dark world that surrounded her. She took a deep breath and again attempted to open her eyes.
At first she could not see anything, but the gray darkness. Soon, the darkness started to change into an enormous dark room. She frowned confused. `This place looks so, familiar…' she whispered. Her voice remained silent once again.
She studied the way the room was decorated and noticed that it had a huge resemblance of that of Inuyasha house. She slowly ran her hand across the top of a near dresser. Even the dresser felt like ice. She quickly removed her hand. She then realized how cold she really was. She slowly looked down at her hands and noticed that she hadn't stopped shaking either. `Inuaysha…' she whispered. She winced at his name and started to look around the room more.
`Something about this place if off,' her voice chimed in.
`I've never been trapped in a room that I have never visited before. What, what happen when I escaped my body?' she asked confused. She bit her lip wondering something. She slowly walked over to the door. She reached out towards the door-handle with a shaky hand. She gripped the door-handle and abruptly opened it. The door flew open and she starred wide-eyed at the open door.
`This isn't right…' she whispered. `The room has never been open before.'
`Yes, well this isn't one of our normal rooms,' her voice replied. `Come on girl, pull it together. You are stronger than this.' Kagome took in another deep breath, knowing that the voice was right. She took small steps towards the door and slowly walked into the hallway. The hallway was darker than the room was. She tried to get her eyes to adjust to the new lighting, but she failed. She blinked a few times as she heard something move down the hall way to her right. She tried again to focus her eyes, to see what had made the noise, but again she failed. Suddenly she saw a familiar pair of dark green eyes that quickly turned blood red. The floor beneath her shook violently. She screamed and slammed the door shut as she ran into the room.
She quickly ran to the other side of the large room and tried to look for somewhere to hide. She froze when she heard a loud growl erupt from behind the door.
`Run, Kagome. Run!' her mind screamed to her. But, before she could run, the door was suddenly exploded. She blacked away from the door slowly, hearing growling that got louder. Kagome screamed again when the dust started to settle and she saw a huge beast that stood behind the door. Suddenly there was another loud growl and the beast burst through the wall and into the room. She covered her eyes from the blast and slowly looked back up to see that the beast looked a lot like a huge dog, or wolf. She stood frozen from fright starring up at the massive creature. She noticed familiar green streaks that lined the side of the creatures face.
The creature's fur stood on end, and its glossy black fur shone dimly in the faint light of the room. The creature took a step forward. The room shook vigorously and forced Kagome backwards against the wall.
`We, we know him Kagome…' her voice whispered in fear. `Get us out of here!'
Kagome felt like she couldn't breath and her mind raced through the difficult ways of going back to her body. `I…I can't!!' she screamed back at her voice. She started to feel herself lose consciousness. Her body kept shaking and she couldn't feel her legs anymore. The creature seemed to be laughing at her. She shook her head and gathered all of her strength to try and stand her ground.
Unexpectedly, the massive creature lunged at her. “NO!” she screamed out loud. She was suddenly surrounded by a pure golden light. Her body was shaking dramatically and she still couldn't breath. She was slowly consciousness. She felt sudden pain that ran through her entire body. She cried out into the golden light wishing that it would all end.
`Just let go my dear, just let go,' her voice cried softly. She was then lost in the golden light.

Kagome very slowly opened her eyes. Her whole body burned and she was still shaking. She quickly sat up and cried out in pain. Tears stung her eyes, as she frantically looked around searching for the creature. She abruptly felt a pair of clawed hands touch her and she screamed jerking away.
“Get away from me!” she screamed. She realized that she was on a couch and attempted to get up but fell to the ground when her legs gave out. Inuyasha stood frozen where he was at her out burst. She looked terrified of him. `What happen to her?' he asked. He tried to take a step towards her, but she screamed loudly again looking frantic and horrified.
“Don't come near me! Don't touch me!” she screamed and again attempted to get away from him. She glanced down at her body and noticed masses of cuts and bruises all over her body. And saw huge gashes in her legs and arms. She cried out in horror again.
Inuyasha growled in frustration. This human girl was making his life very difficult. The voice growled dangerously, it rang throughout his entire body. He needed to calm her down. `But, how? I, don't even know what happen to her…' he said to his voice. All the voice did was growl in response. `Why is she looking at me like I'm some sort of monster?' he asked his voice.
He received another growl. `Is that not what we are?' Inuyasha winced at his voice's words.
“Kagome, calm down. You are safe again,” he called out to her. She only cried more, still trying to get away from him. He then suddenly remembered something and quickly left.
Inuyasha quickly appeared in Kagome's room and ran a clawed finger down his mokomokosama. It transformed into what looked like a long tail of fur. Inuyasha wrapped it around him and disappeared again.
When he reappeared into the room where he had left Kagome, he found her huddled in a far corner of the room. Her blood and tears hit him hard as soon as he took in a deep breath. His golden eyes scanned the floor and found her blood was pooled all over it. `She'll die…' he whispered. His voice growled viscously. His mokomokosama then started to unwin itself and made its way towards the petite woman. She did not refuse his mokomokosama as it started to wrap itself protectively around her.
After a few moments, he noticed that her body had stopped shaking. He then slowly made his way over to her. He noticed that even her face beheld cuts and bruises. She slowly brought her watery eyes up to his confused golden orbs. She looked so helpless and his voice growled again in his mind.
“Help me,” she whispered barely loud enough to be heard. And she seemed to have passed out again. But, when he picked her and his mokomokosama up, he realized that she had only fell asleep. He left out a tiny sigh of relief of the fact and slowly brought her over to the bed.
`Hurry we have to clean and dress her wounds,' his voice whispered. `You do realized who she is right…? This proves it.' Inuyasha set her gently onto the bed and starred at her with narrow eyes.
He quickly walked into the bathroom on the left and came back out with a large silver case. He set it down beside her and opened it. He quickly began to clean her wounds.
When he was finished, he starred back at her. He had placed her in one of his shirts, so that she would not have been naked. His mokomokosama refused to leave her.
“Curious behavior,” he whispered.
`I've told you, that he has taken a liking to her,' his voice whispered.
`You have been very quiet,' Inuyasha stated to his voice as he sat down in a chair that stood across the room. Waiting.
`Are you not pleased?' the voiced said.
Inuyasha's frown deepened. `What happen to her? She could not have done this harm to herself…and she was first terrified of me…' he said. Her tiny plea kept ringing through his mind.
`No, she did not do that to herself. Do you remember the night we found her…” his voice asked. Inuyasha remained silent for a moments lost in thought.
