Into the Depths of Night

Chapter Four

 

 

`Yeah, I do. We tracked that bastard all through that damn city that night,' he replied.

 

`Yes, and do you recall over hearing a phone call. The phone call that made us follow them to such an extent that night?' his voice ventured.

 

Inuyasha tried to run through his memories from that entire day. `Yeah, I do remember. He had said something about taking care of some bitch. He was talking to someone higher up, because Kyoru never talks nicely to anyone but higher rank. That's what made us follow…him…' Inuyasha slowly realized who Kyoru was meant to go after that night. `Kagome was the target that night…' he whispered in his mind. `Kagome was the lead…' his mind was racing.

 

Kyoru. The phone call. Kagome. He tried to fit the puzzle together. `She is in deep to be a target…but this doesn't fit. The way she reacted that night. She was…terrified…'

 

`There isn't any way that she knew about any of this. But, that makes it even more complicated. She doesn't fit in anywhere,' his voice whispered. `This is a mystery that I plan on solving,' it growled.

 

The door opened slowly and Inuyasha didn't bother taking his eyes off of the sleeping Kagome.

 

“It seems brother, that she is very much involved with our issues,” Inuyasha stated coldly. His brother stood at the entrance watching Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru then followed his brother's gaze and his eyes came upon the broken woman that slept on the bed. He was very surprised to see Kagome in such a condition.

 

“What happen to her?” he asked in a cold tone.

 

“She was attacked, but as far as to who it was and how. I have not figured that out just yet. You did not do this to her,” Inuyasha said looking over to his brother. He noticed that his damaged arm was now covered in many strips of cloth. “I see that Kaede has tended to your…injury.”

 

Sesshoumaru glared angrily at his brother. “Its not perfect, but its bearable,” he stated. “Will your human live brother?” Sesshoumaru asked. He could smell the faint sent of death that lingered in the room.

 

Inuyasha glanced back over to the woman, but didn't respond. `How deep is she really in?' he asked to himself. His brother broke through his thoughts.

 

“If she is involved then perhaps we will use her to our advantage,” he said forcefully.

 

Inuyasha growled angrily in response. “No, we will not place a human in danger. We will not place her in danger,” he said in an acidic tone.

 

Sesshoumaru growled and stepped forward. He then took another glance at the woman and noticed that his brother's mokomokosama had wrapped itself around the tiny woman. “What is the meaning of that?” he asked enraged. Inuyasha pretended as if he had not heard his brother speak. “What is the meaning of that, Inuyasha?” he asked again, louder.

 

“You should leave my rooms now Sesshoumaru,” Inuyasha growled dangerously. `Do not fight with your brother right now,' his voice whispered to him. He was thankful when he brother quickly vanished from his room. He heard a loud howl from the forest beyond their garden and just gazed out the window.

 

`Now, time to get started,' he said to his voice as he walked into a room connected to his bedroom on the right. He walked into his study and sat down at his desk with his hands folded in front of his face thinking.

 

`Maybe it would be better if we waited for her to finally wake up and tell us what she knows. This may make things a lot easier,' his voice suggested.

 

`No, there isn't any time. Whoever did that to her, will try to do it again. And who knows what else he can do,' he replied. He stood up and grabbed an old book that sat on his many book shelves and started flipping through the pages, looking for something.

 

`Well here's another suggestion. If we think that she is connected to this at a high rank, then did you think to look for a mark on her when we were cleaning her injuries?' Inuyasha froze.

 

He dropped the book to the floor and quickly went over to the sleeping woman in his bed. He starred wide-eyed at her for a few moments. Hoping that there was no such mark on her body.

 

As he was checking her arms, his voice replied, `Well if there is a mark, then it will help solve our mystery, but would make things a lot more complicated and dangerous. If there isn't a mark, well then we are still lost but she isn't in a lot of…,' the voice stopped short when Inuyasha turned Kagome to the side and lifted up the shirt. There in the small of her back to the left was a silvery green mark. Inuyasha quickly let of her and stepped to the opposite side of the room.

 

“Shit,” he whispered. The voice in his head let out a vicious growl.

Kagome slowly opened her eyes. She could feel the pain still but it was gone. `Was all of that a dream…?' she asked herself. She looked at her arms and bit her lip hard. No, it wasn't a dream, it was very real. She shifted a little, but found that her body refused to let herself up, and that something was wrapped around her. She smiled slightly feeling the familiar warmth of that from the rug that was in her room. She looked down at her body and noticed that the rug had transformed again and was wrapped around her. She smiled and tried to curl back up, wrapping her fingers within its fur. She slowly closed her eyes again as she tried to fall back into a sleep. She noticed that she probably suffered from a few broken ribs because she had difficultly breathing.

 

Inuyasha walking in on the woman trying to curl up again. Her long raven hair was spread out around her back and down her side. It fell ontop of his pure white fur of his mokomokosama, the contrast was beautiful. Her creamy pale skin had regained some slight color from the attack and her face slightly flushed from her sleep. He watched her from a distance. His gaze was blank and cold. He watched as she ran her hands into his fur, he even felt the touches in flutters that if he hadn't been watching, he wouldn't have felt at all.

 

She opened her eyes again feeling his presence in the room and turned her face towards him. She couldn't smile, no. But, her eyes sparkled as she gazed at the long silver-haired man. She wanted to say thank you, but she couldn't get up the courage to speak the words.

 

`He looks troubled…' her voice whispered. Kagome frowned.

 

`Maybe he is wondering what happen…' she responded.

 

`Hun, we don't even know what happen,' her voice said.

 

`Yes, I know we don't know what happen…'

 

`We, knew that creature Kagome…' the voice whispered in an even smaller voice. Kagome held her breath.

 

`I felt it too. But, we…we don't know any…people like Inuyasha and his brother…how…how could we have known him…' she responded.

 

`Yes, I was thinking the exact same thing, maybe…maybe Inuyasha can help us…' her voice suggested.

 

`Yes…maybe he can…' she whispered.

 

“Inuyasha?” she asked very softly. She was surprised at how much it hurt to talk. He didn't move but, she knew that he heard her. “Where, am I?” she asked. She noticed that she had never been in this room before. This room didn't have such a dark setting to it. Even though it still held a dark demeanor, it seemed to have a little more life to it.

 

“You are in my wing of the house,” he stated. His voice was reluctant and icy. His eyes held a blank stare and he watched her. Kagome bit her lip and hid her face from his stare. She buried her face into his mokomokosama. “Kagome, what happen…?” he whispered. His voice was still reluctant but it did not hold an icy tone. Kagome unburied her face from the warm fur, but did not glance over at him.

 

“I freak out and stood the easy way out again. I locked myself away again…but this time, it was different…” she said barely audible.

 

He took a small step towards her curious. “How was it different?” he asked.

 

She still refused to look over at him. “Once I was there, I was…trapt…it wouldn't let me leave and return back to my body. And it was a place that I had never seen before,” she whispered. She slowly turned towards him with troubled eyes. “You see, when I leave my body, I normally trap myself into a place that I know very well. Something out of my memories, and I can normally return whenever I want to come back. I was thrown into a place that I had never been before. So, I tried to open the door to get out of the room,” she stopped trying hard not to cry at the memories from the recent event. He waited for her to finish. “In my normal rooms, I can't leave them. That is a down fall to that power. I can't leave the one place where I go. But, this time I could leave the strange room. And then,” she paused biting her lip. “I was attacked,” she whispered. The blood-red eyes and marks on the creatures face ran through her mind. “By a huge creature that looked like a huge, dog…” she stopped and hide her face into the fur again, hiding her fears from him.

 

Inuyasha's golden eyes grew from shock. “What, what color where the marking on this, creature as you call it?” he asked quickly.

 

She turned her head towards him confused. “But, I didn't say anything about markings…” she said slowly. Inuyasha growled getting impatient. “Green, they were green…” she whispered quickly after his growl.

 

Inuyasha cursed underneath his breath. And stormed out of the room slamming the door so hard that pictures and mirrors fell off the wall and it closed. Kagome winced and once again buried her face into the warm fur. `Why is he so upset?' she whispered.

 

`Kagome, you do realize what that creature was, right?' her voice asked. Kagome simply shook her head. `Then you also realize that Inuyasha and his brother are also…'

 

`No, they aren't the same,” she said stubbornly.

 

`Yes, they are Kagome. They are all three demons Kagome,' her voice said sternly.

 

`No, they aren't the same, because Inuyasha would never…hurt me…' she whispered very softly. Her voice went silent realizing what she was trying to say. `Since we have first met him. He has changed even if a little bit. He isn't as harsh with us anymore. And he has time and time again proven that he will not harm us. He is not like that monster that attacked us. I refuse to think of him that way…' she whispered starting to cry silently.

 

`Kagome, I think we…' her voice slowly started to whisper.

 

`Yeah, I know…I know…' she whispered back. And she slowly started to fall asleep again, her body exhausted.

Inuyasha appeared in his brother's room with in seconds after leaving his room. He grabbed a vase that stood on a near by table and whipped it at the wall. The once beautiful vase shattered into thousands of tiny pieces.

 

“I do think that I liked that vase Inuyasha,” his brother said and he stepped out from his office. He looked at his brother with a curious glance and realized that his eyes shone blood red for a moment before turning back to their normal golden glow. “What has gotten into you?” he asked stepping towards his brother.

 

“She is his mate Sesshoumaru,” he gritted out between closed teeth. His fangs dug into his lower lip as he fought for control. Sesshoumaru remained silent for a few moments.

 

“Are you sure?” he asked.

 

Inuyasha threw his hands up frustrated. “I am almost positive. How many of our kind do you know that are black and bare green markings!” he yelled loudly. Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes dangerously. “She also bares his mark Sesshoumaru…” Inuyasha said slowly and he looked down at the floor. “I tried to keep her out of this but it seems that she is right in the middle of this entire thing now.”

 

“So, she is his mate? But, how? I came to the conclusion that she had no idea about any of our kind before she met you,” he said slowly and he paced around his room, and into his office. Inuyasha followed him and stood against the wall with his arms crossed in front of him.

 

“That is the thing, she didn't. That means that he broke more rules than we first thought. He mated her without her even knowing it. That bastard…he attacked his own mate…” he said in disgust.

 

Sesshoumaru sat silent behind his desk thinking. The brothers remained silent, each pondering on their own thoughts. Then Sesshoumaru broke the silence. “Perhaps, the woman miko is not his mate,” he said.

 

“How can she bare his mark, and yet not be his mate? Is that even possible?” Inuyasha asked looked up at his brother like he was insane.

 

“We have found out that a lot of things are possible now, that use to be impossible little brother,” Sesshoumaru said coldly. “But, the rules of mating are too close to instinct to be able to go against them. There isn't any way that he would have been able to harm her if she was in fact his mate. There must be something…something else he did,” Sesshoumaru said thinking out loud.

 

Inuyasha turned to leave his brothers office but stopped short and turned around looked back at him. “We will not put her in any danger or use her for anything. That is out of the question,” he said very harshly and with a sense of power behind his words. Sesshoumaru just simply nodded his head with narrow eyes. Then Inuyasha was gone.

Kagome slowly woke up from her sleep feeling that her body now allowed her more freedom to move, but the pain was still there. She slowly sat up and looked around the room. Day light spilled into the room. She gasped at the sight. `It looks like it was build right out of a fairy tale…' she whispered.

 

`Or a nightmare…' her voice whispered back. Kagome winced. She knew what her voice meant. She was living a nightmare, not a fairytale. She grabbed his mokomokosama and pulled it more secured around her and looked around the room. She could tell that Inuyasha was somewhere near her, she could feel his over powering aura. “Inuyasha?” she whispered. Unable to get her voice to be any louder, but she knew that he could hear her. He slowly walked out of his office and stood in the door way and looked over at her on his bed.

 

“Kagome, have you met any other of my…kind before?” he asked carefully. She gave him a puzzled look. She wasn't sure whether or not to answering him truthfully or not.

 

She shook her head. “No,” she whispered. “I have been told of your kind though…”

 

“Told of us? From who?” he asked.

 

She eyed him wondering if she could tell him her secrets. She had always been told to never tell a single living soul. `Tell him dear, I think this will helps us both…' her voice whispered.

 

“My father,” she stated softly. Inuyasha didn't look surprised; he had guessed that it would have been some sort of family member if she possessed the powers of a miko. “When he realized that I too, had spiritual powers, he told me all about your kind, and your world. I had never met one in real life until the night I met you,” she whispered softly. She refused to turn and look up at him. She kept her gaze down at her hands that were folded in her lap.

 

“So your father also had spiritual powers then?” Inuyasha asked. Kagome just nodded her head in agreement. She refused to give away someone else's secrets. “Kagome, your…” he stopped short when she looked up at him with pain in her eyes. He couldn't tell her. `This woman has changed me more than the world has in the past 500 years…and she has done it in less than a month…' he said in his mind.

 

`Yes, she is something else. We can't tell her, not after what just happen. She probably doesn't even know what she has gotten herself into,' his voice replied.

 

`Stupid wench,' he growled in his mind.

 

“I am safe here right…?” she whispered. The fear in her voice shot through him. He noticed that his mokomokosama wrapped itself tighter around her. “That, monster won't…won't come here, will it?” she whispered stealing a glance out the window.

 

Inuyasha held himself back from growling out loud. “No, it won't come here. It wouldn't dare come here Kagome,” Inuyasha said and walked back into his office. He could sense her tears as he turned away.

 

`How could someone like her, get involved into something so big, and not even realize what she did?' he asked himself.

 

`You know the answer yourself. Remember how mad she got at you for killing Kyoru? She thinks that there is good in everything in this world. And we have thrown her into a world that is filled with just the opposite,' his voice growled.

 

`No I don't believe it was us who did it,' he growled in return at the thought.

Kagome watched him turn his back to her and she felt tears sting her cheeks and she quickly wiped them away. She was glad to know that the monster was not going to come to the house.

 

`Do you think that the creature was really a monster?” she asked.

 

`Yes, yes I do Kagome. You know that not everything in the world is all rainbows and ponies, from our childhood. Not everything is candy coated. This isn't something to be playing around with,' her voice said sternly.

 

`Perhaps…' she replied.

 

`Don't start thinking about anything stupid. Do you remember the last time we got ourselves in over our heads? We are finally free of that…mishap…' her voice whispered in her head. Kagome sighed softly realizing that her voice was right. The world was not that her mother had tried to bring her up in. Her father's words rung in her head from when she was little.

 

`Not everything in this world is what it seems. There is darkness that can't be over come by the light,' she whispered in her head. Her voice remained silent, not needed to say anything more.

Kagome slowly stood up out of the bed. It had been a few days since the attack and she was finally ready to try and walk despite Inuyasha and Kaede telling her not to. She needed to get outside, into the fresh air. She needed to walk around. She couldn't take being held up in one spot for too long. She wobbled a little as she finally took a step towards the door. Inuyasha's mokomokosama was wrapped around her shoulders as she walked. Once, she regained her balance she walked slowly to the door. The pain was still there, but it had dimmed a lot. The cuts and gashes were still there, but they were healing. She was ready to get out of that room.

 

“Where are you going?” came a voice from inside the office. Kagome didn't stop and kept going towards the door. “Kagome, you are going to rip open your stitches if you walk around,” Inuyasha's voice rang loudly from the office.

 

“No they won't,” she said stubbornly as she opened the door. He knew that she wouldn't get too far away. Her fear of the creature still rose inside her. She felt safe whenever Inuyasha was around, so she kept close to him since the attack. “I just want to sit outside,” she called as she started to walk down the hall.

 

Inuyasha soon appeared right next to her with a cold icy glare in his eyes. “You aren't going anywhere human. Now, get back to the bed before you wear yourself out and get sick,” he said with no emotion in his voice. She frowned up at him. He knew that he needed to get more answers out of her. He needed to solve the mysteries that surrounded this human woman that came into his life.

 

`Now is the best time,' his voice whispered.

 

“Kagome, we need to talk,” he said slowly, still no emotion in his voice. Kagome looked up at him confused.
