Into the Depths of Night

Chapter Five

 

 

 

Kagome wasn't sure what to say as she sat at the edge of a huge chair in front of his desk. He didn't sit behind the desk, he stood against the wall watching her. She waited for him to begin talking. It was day light outside and she realized it was the first time she had even seen him during the day. He normally disappearing during the day and would return sometime after the sunset. “Why do you only come out during the night? I rarely ever see you doing the day…” she said softly. He looked slightly surprised for a second but the emotion quickly washed away. He had reserved back to his icy demeanor.

 

“I'm the one asking the questions this time Kagome…” he said after a few minutes of thinking about her question. Kagome frowned more, realizing that this must have been serious. He watched as she shifted slightly in her seat as she gazed outside the window. He could sense that she was nervous. “Kagome?” he asked.

 

“Huh?” she whispered as she still starred out at the sunlight that shone through the dark window. She longed to be in the sun and the bright green grass. She wished she could walk along the side of a sparkling pond in the mountains surrounded by enormous trees that reached the sky. With the birds and animals playing lively in the sunlight. She missed nature and being outside.

 

“Are you sure that you don't know any others?” he asked cautiously. He narrowed his eyes, slightly daring her to lie to him. He watched her as she responded with a simple word.

 

“Yup,” she whispered. He growled he was getting no where. She slowly turned to look over at him as he growled. She sighed softly. “No, I don't know any others like you. And I'm sure I would be able to tell the difference. You have a different…aura that surrounds you than humans do. If I did know someone they would have to be able to create some sort of barrier to conceal it from me.”

 

“A barrier that can block our auras?” he asked slightly confused.

 

“Well, my father used to speak of something about them. He said that your kind had come up with a way to, hide from us. So, they can sort of blend in with our growing society. Some have acquired the ability to conceal their powers from us, so they seem totally human,” she stopped talking when she realized that she was blabbering on and blushed. He gaze beyond her thinking about what she had just said.

 

`That is a possibility he did to get closer to her. That would explain how she wouldn't know who he was or if he mated with her,' he thought. His voice growled at the word mate. He came back to reality when she shifted her body weight again.

 

“But, I don't know how all of you seem to hide. I've lived in this city since I was born and you and that…monster that you killed are the first that I've ever met…” she softly said looking back out the window. She let out a very soft sigh.

“Tell me about your life at home…” he said softly. She quickly looked at him with hurt eyes. She wasn't sure what to say to him, or if she even should. He held back a soft growl from seeing the hurt in her eyes. He waited for her to start talking.

 

She turned away from him and brought her knees up to her chest, hugging them. She leaned back into the chair and took a deep breath and slowly let it back out. Her eyes searched for something beyond the window. “Well, where do I start? My Dad, he ah passed away when I was 10. After that life was difficult for my family. My mother tried her hardest to everything the same, for me and my sister. But, everything wasn't the same. Soon our grandmother moved in with us, to help with the burden. I always remember though, that my mom always had a smile on her face when she was around us. She wanted us to be happy. She worked 2 jobs so she could keep the house Once I got to middle school, things started to calm down a little bit and my family grew into the swing of things. We started to have a normal life. I always got great grades in middle school thru high school. Once I was in High School, life just moved on. I ran on the Track Team, and was still an Honor Student. I tried my hardest to make my mother proud. As soon as I was old enough, I got a job at an athletic story in town to help out with the bills for her,” she paused and a small smile crept onto her face.

 

Inuyasha waited for her to continue. “And then the summer before senior year rolled around, and I went into the city with a few of my friends. And we met a few guys,” she paused again seeming to be lost in her memories. The voice in his head lowly growled. She continued, “And I started to see this guy. I was in love I guess you could say. He was an amazing man. He was a few years older than me, but it didn't really matter. So soon I was in college and I went to a university in the city so me and him could be closer. My whole family was in love with him too, and everyone thought we were going to get married. But,” she stopped short again. Her expression changed again. He could tell that this man had hurt her some how. He waited for her to go on. She hugged her knees tighter and tried to continue but couldn't.

 

`Come on hun, you can do this. Maybe it will help if we tell the story…' her voice tried to soothe her.

 

Kagome took another deep breath and blinked a few times before she continued. “But, he started to change…” she whispered trying to hide the hurt in her voice but couldn't. “I should have stopped it a few years ago back when I first started college. But, I was a fool and thought that I was still in love with him. I let him control me, and do what…what he wanted for three years. A few weeks before that night everything happened. I had finally had enough. He had…had gone too far. So, I left him. I had put in my transfer to a college that was closer to home, and had already put in my two weeks notice at my work and everything. All my things were packed at our apartment. I was staying at a friend's house in the city so I didn't have to be near him. I didn't want to see him anymore. But, he came into my work that day, and well yeah. He was really upset with the whole situation. And, by the time he left. I was running late with my work. I had to stay late to finish everything up…” her voice slowly trailed off. “I did a lot of bad things, that I should have never did…” she whispered.

 

“What was his name?” he asked in a growl. He knew that this man, she was with is the one who attacked her.

 

She shook her head with a small smile and whispered, “No, it doesn't matter anymore. He is out of my life. And being here, I won't ever have to deal with him again…” she lifted her hands up and started to wipe away tears that ran down her face.

 

`I…I didn't want to tell him everything…' she whispered to her voice.

 

`You did good Kagome, you told him enough…doesn't it feel good to have that off of your chest?' her voice asked softly.

 

`Too many bad memories… But it is in the past…I won't let any thing like that happen again…' she said in a determined voice.

 

“Kagome you have to tell me his name,” he said in a demanding voice. She quickly looked up at him, snapping out of her daze.

 

“What? Why? Its not important Inuyasha,” she said trying to stand up.

 

“It is very important Kagome, Now. Tell. Me. His. Name,” he said through clenched teeth. He tightened his jaw a few times waiting for her. She starred at him and shook her head no. She slowly started to walk past him and into his bedroom. “Was his name Bankotsu, Kagome?” he asked angrily as he turned around facing her from the doorway.

 

Kagome froze in mid step and turned slowly looking over at him. Shock and fear rose in her eyes. “What, did you say?” she whispered in a tiny voice.

 

“Is the bastards name Bankotsu?” he asked again louder. Kagome stared at him for a few moments, wishing that she hadn't heard that name.

 

“How…how do you…?” she whispered. She felt like the room was closing in on her and she looked at him confused.

 

Inuyasha shook his head growling dangerously. He had gotten his answer. “Kagome, he is one of us…” he growled out. He turned and punched the wall hard, making the whole room shake.

 

Kagome let out a small laugh hoping that it was a joke. “Don't be ridiculous Inuyasha. He can't…can't be one of your kind. I've known him for over three years. I think I would have realized who he was…” she said softly. She searched his eyes praying that he was playing a sick joke on her.

 

Inuyasha starred at his hands, tightening his fist, and unclenching them. “I wish I was only joking Kagome. That would make things a lot less…complicated…” he said in a deep voice. He sensed fear spike in her aura and his voice growled lowly in his mind.

 

“How…how can this be...” she whispered. The room started to spin around her and her already weak legs started to give out on her. She slowly walked over to the couch and sat down.

 

`This is dangerous water…' his voice whispered. `If we tell her, too much then she might want to do something to stop him…'

 

Inuyasha growled silently to his voice. `Yes, I know that. But, we need to know if she is his mate…' he growled.

 

`Yes, yes…we need to know…' the voice growled in agreement.

 

“Kagome…he, well he is bad news…” he said walking over to her but stopped a few feet in front of her. She looked like she was on the verge of a break down.

 

“I already knew he was bad news,” she whispered.

 

“No, I mean huge bad news. He, well he isn't like me or my brother, or those who are in alliance with us,” he said coldly. He tried to stare at her.

 

She looked up at him even more confused. He slowly turned to look over at her. He gazed into her deep chestnut brown eyes, and noticed that her raven hair was thrown into a messy braid that fell over her shoulder. Her long eye lashed held moisture on them, but yet wouldn't let it fall down her soft pale face. “What do you mean…? That he is your enemy?” she whispered.

 

“Something like that,” he slowly said. She closed her eyes slowly and took a deep shaky breath to try and calm herself. “Kagome, is there any reason that he would, ah want you back?” he asked after a few moments of silence.

 

Kagome winced slightly and didn't answer at first. “He had said more than a few times, that I belonged to him…” she whispered very softly into the air. She noticed that there was a dramatic change in his aura and she felt a shock wave of energy. “Inuyasha?” she asked when she noticed his eyes held the slightest red tint to them and he stood very still. She could feel his mokomokosama fidget around her. “Inuyasha?” she repeated, this time she started to get worried when he didn't answer her. She slowly stood up. “Inuyasha?” she whispered as she took a step closer to him.

 

`He looks so distant…' she whispered.

 

`Be careful hun, he isn't himself right now…' her voice gently whispered back.

 

“Inuyasha?” she whispered again. But this time she took a step backwards making sure to keep her distance. “Is, is he the one who attacked me then…?” she asked as she bit her lip.

 

Inuyasha quickly snapped out of his daze and glanced down at her with golden eyes that glowed in the morning sunlight. She watched as his expression changed for a split second then returned to his normal blank, icy stare. “Yes, he was…” he said coldly. She didn't respond as she simply pulled her gaze from his and looked down at her lap. Inuyasha saw reaction and had the sudden urge to make this all go away so she didn't look so defeated.

 

`Why am I feeling like this…?' he asked himself.

 

`Don't you know?' the voice asked sadly.

 

`Hai, I think I do know…' he whispered after starring at the tiny woman before him.

 

His voice was about to respond but instead it growled lowly as Inuyasha sensed her tears. `She can't take much more of this. Her mind or body can't handle so much stress at once. It won't be long before she has another break down, and this time it could be worse than before…' the voice growled softly.

 

Inuyasha sighed at the tiny woman and tilted her chin up slowly so she could look up at him. “Kagome, as long as you want us to. We will protect you here so that he can't harm you,” Inuyasha whispered to her. Kagome softly gasped looking into his eye.

 

`There…there is emotion behind his eyes…' she whispered stunned.

 

`Perhaps, this demon is not as cold as we first thought Kagome…' her voice said slowly.

 

“Okay Inuyasha, I will stay…” she whispered.

“You can not hold another male's mate Inuyasha!” yelled a loud thunderous voice that rang down the hall.

 

“But, she isn't his mate by choice! She has a chance to decide for herself the law says so! And she decided to stay here. AWAY from him Sesshoumaru!” Inuyasha's voice yelled just as loud.

 

“She doesn't know that she is his mate!” Sesshoumaru was starred furiously at his brother. Red was slowly seeping into his gaze as he fought for control.

 

“That is beyond the point Sesshoumaru. If we left her out there to go back to him, he will kill her!” Inuyasha yelled. His golden eyes already blood red. His hands were shaking as his claws began to grow longer and sharper.

 

“Inuyasha do not let your youkai to take over,” came the happy voice of the maid Kaede. Both brothers turned to look over at her. “You two are fighting over the destiny of a human girl, who should decide for herself…” Kaede told them as she set an arrangement of flowers in a vase that sat in front of a large window. “Besides, she has taken a liking to Inuyasha,” Kaede laughed softly as she walked out of the room.

 

Inuyasha growled frustrated at the old maids remark. Even though he knew that she was right, it made matters that much worse. Another male's mate was in their house, and she was getting too close. Too close for comfort.

 

“You win Inuyasha, she will stay,” his brother said in a tired voice. “You are starting another war, which we have been trying not to start.”

 

“This war started many years ago Sesshoumaru,” Inuyasha growled as he left the large dinning hall. He froze when he turned to his left and saw a very frightened Kagome standing there. “Kagome?” he said as he stepped towards her.

 

“His mate?” she whispered in such a hurt voice that he winced slightly.

 

“Yea, Kagome. You're Bankotsu's mate…” he said with a low dangerous voice.

 

“But, but how…?” she whispered holding onto the wall so she wouldn't fall over.

 

“I don't know yet. But, it's wrong Kagome. And you aren't his mate if you don't want to be,” he growled. “That bastard will die for what he has done…” Inuyasha said through clenched teeth. Suddenly he felt Kagome crash into him. Her arms slowly wrapped around his waist as she buried her face into his chest crying hard. Her tiny body formed itself against his and he starred down at her surprised. He wasn't sure how to react. He knew it was wrong to be touching another male's mate, but his whole body and mind told him to comfort the devastated woman in front of him. He very slowly wrapped his arms around her tiny form and hugged her tighter against him.

 

`You know, this feels right…' his voice growled softly, almost in a purr. Inuyasha glanced down at Kagome and he knew his voice was right. He just couldn't tell himself out loud that it was.

 

“Kagome, he won't come for you here. That is why that coward attacked you when you left your body,” he told her.

 

`She is breaking down again…' his voice growled. `I guess she knows what it means to be a mate then…' Inuyasha left out a low growl at the comment.

 

“Inuyasha?” she whispered moving her face to the side looking at the wall.

 

“Not now Kagome. Let's just get you to your room. You are still recovering and need to get better…” he said trying to leave all emotion out of his voice.

 

He sensed her starting to panic. “But, I don't want to stay in that room anymore…” she whispered. “It…it doesn't feel safe…” she whispered even softer and she bit her lip.

 

Inuyasha let out a soft sigh and held onto her tighter. “Hold on tight Kagome,” he said softly looking down into her eyes.

AND there is chapter five! Much awaited information that I have been hiding from everyone lol but don't worry, there are more to come! I hope every one likes this chapter. Im not sure if I like the way it turned out and in two weeks when I get home, I might just reedit it and change a few things that happened. That is now three chapters in three days! Ima trying to make up for not writing in forever and it will take me a good three weeks maybe before I can post again after this week. Ill try my hardest to get another chapter up tomorrow, but no promises!

 

 

Sovereignty- Yes Inuyasha is a full demon in this story. Thank you for reviewing and ima glad that you like it!

 

1love1- I am glad that you like my story and I am very thankful for your reviews. It's good to know that some people are reading my story and actually like it. It gives me that boost to continue to write. I'm sorry if I confused you, I hope that this chapter cleared a few things up.

 

Lunabell- Everyone is OOC because I wanted to make a fanfic that no one has thought of yet. I wanted to get out of the normal trend of fanfictions. Now, since the characters are all basically mine, except the way the look and their names. I think I am going to just take out the whole fanfiction part and rewrite it as a real book, with all original thoughts that are all me. But, I'm going to wait to see how the story plans out first. And I bet you can tell from this chapter that yes, this is a Inu?Kag. Thanks for your review!

 

 

Until Chapter Six!!!
