Into the Depths of Night

 

Chapter Six

 

 

Kagome quickly looked up at him, noticing the slight change in his voice. He had said it much kinder than anything he had ever said to her before. She quickly wrapped her arms around him tighter and buried her face into his hard chest again. She felt a sudden jerk and felt as if she couldn't breath. She stole a glance to the left and saw that the world was nothing but a blur. The colors splashed in front of her eyes, and she felt her stomach jump. Then as sudden as it had happened, it stopped.

 

“Kagome, you can let go now…” he said in his normal voice. She shook her head but didn't let go of him. She felt warm and safe in his arms. He gently unlaced her hands and brought them back to the front of his body and glanced into her hazed over eyes. She wobbled for a few moments when she had let go of him. She had the urge to throw up, but she struggled to keep her stomach at bay.

 

“Let's, not do that again…” she whispered. Inuyasha let out a small laugh and watched her for a moment before turning away and walking into the room they were outside.

 

Kagome frowned looking around. She did not recognize the small hall way that they were in. It was not like the normal large hallways that filled the massive house. `its decorated slightly like his room,' she thought to herself. “Where are we?” she asked softly as she slowly walked behind him. She marveled at the beauty of this section of the house. It seemed to be decorated in a manner that was more personal to someone.

 

Inuyasha stopped on his right and opened the door slowly. He motioned for her to take a glance inside the room. She gave him a questionable look but slowly walked towards the door. She gradually stepped into the room and smiled slightly when she saw that it was Inuyasha's office that was connect to his bedroom. She then stepped back outside into the hall way, going to ask him something but he held up his hand to stop her. She kept quiet. She followed him directly across the hall, where a set of double doors stood tall. She frowned, still not understanding where he was getting at. The door was built out of dark mahogany wood, that stood out in the hallway of nothing but dark wood, which was polished black. He glanced back at her, his golden eyes dimmed and dull as he slowly opened the two doors wide and let her in to see.

 

Kagome didn't move as she gazed into the wondrous room that was beheld in front of her. The room had many windows that over looked the back side of the house, and a small balcony with stairs leading down towards the garden below. The room was painted in a faint purple color with golden trim all along the walls and doorframes. The floor was hardwood, done in a deep mahogany wood that set off the other colors in the room. She gasped as she noticed that all the furniture was all golden material as well as the curtains. Everything in the room seemed to glow in the warm sunlight. She took a timid step towards the room. Inuyasha growled softly getting annoyed and gently pushed her the rest of the way into the room. Her room, true had been beautiful, but this room was in no comparison. The golden materials glistened as the sunlight hit them.

 

She quickly then walked into the room, wanting to inspect the room more. She stopped short when she came into the center of the room. The ceiling was higher than she could guess, and the room was much larger than the other small room she had been in. To the right, stood a large bed that was decorated in pure white linen, and to the left stood three different doors each spread out in even spacing. Towards the windows in the right wall stood a window that was right next to the glass doors that lead out onto the small balcony and stairs. The dressers and cabinets were made out of the same wood that was the floor. Many paintings of beautiful sceneries filled the walls, she had never seen such places before. She gazed at each one, wondering exactly where in the world paintings depictured.

 

“This room is the closet room, to my rooms. You will be staying here, so that if anything happens. I am close enough,” he said in a voice trying to conceal the emotions that ran through him. `She seems to like the room…' his voice said.

 

`Yes, she does. Doesn't she?' Inuyasha responded softly. `This is the closest thing I can give to her that will bring her some sort of happiness…'

 

`I do believe that there are other ways to bring her happiness,' his voice ventured.

 

`None that are allowed…'

 

`Allowed? Since when have we let something like that stop us?' his voice growled.

 

Inuyasha held back a smirk. `We are not as young anymore.'

 

`No, but that still doesn't change anything… who cares what Sesshikins says or what Father always told us…' Inuyasha quickly narrowed his eyes at his mention of his father. `They can not control us Inuyasha, we have been through this,' he said.

 

`No, I will not go against our family's code…' Inuyasha said after a few minutes pondering. He continued to watch Kagome as she ran to the left side of the room and started opening the doors one by one. She disappeared into the first door only to come back out after a few minutes of searching. His voice just gave him a low growl but did no respond.

 

“Kaede is going to take you out into a small town that is near here so that you can buy cloths and anything else you will need,” he said when she walked out of the second door.

 

“You aren't going to come with…?” she said in a soft voice that was almost a whisper.

 

“I will be there, don't worry…” he said as he turned to leave. He walked out of the large room and shut the doors behind him. Kagome frowned biting her lip as he left.

 

She walked over to the glass door that lead outside and walked out onto the balcony. There was a set of soft white chairs with a glass table, and a light purple umbrella that matched the exact color of the room's walls, that was set up on top the balcony that over looked the garden and the gigantic lands that filled the back yard. She went and sat down in one of the chairs and pulled her legs up to her chest, hugging her legs. She gently placed her chin to rest on her knees as she closed her eyes, taking in the sunlight. The warm breeze brushed against her face, and the sun beamed down on her, soothing her fried nerves.

 

`So, I am Bankotsu's mate…' she stated bluntly.

 

`So it would seem,' her voice replied.

 

`That means that no other male, even human is allowed to touch me…' she said softly in a sad voice. The picture of Inuyasha wrapping his arms around her shone through her mind.

 

`No, it is against the rules of mating…'

 

`How, how could he do that, and us not even notice it?' she questioned herself. Feeling dense, since she let a male demon mate her with out her knowledge of it. Her hazed over eyes, watched as the trees danced in the breeze and the birds flying freely through the air.

 

`There is a lot that we don't understand about him Kagome, why did he ever do anything he did to us…? Did he not say that he loved us?' the voice spit out venomously. Kagome forced herself to hold back tears.

 

`He did not love us. If you love someone, you don't do things to that person that he did to us…' Kagome whispered to her voice.

 

`No, no they don't…'

 

`He tried to kill us…' Kagome whispered finally letting the tears fall freely down her face. She did not want to cry in front of Inuyasha, she didn't want to seem like a weak human. She was very happy about the new room that he had given her, but she couldn't help but feel that sting of pain that rain through her entire body and throbbing at the heart. She felt betrayed and dirty.

 

`He would never kill us.'

 

`He wants us alive?' she asked crying harder. `Then he will never leave us alone…and we will never be free of him as long we are his mate…we will eventually have to return to him. We can't stay here forever….'

 

`Yes, return to our mate…' her voice whispered. Kagome shivered at the phrase and felt her stomach jump again. She quickly ran back into the house and to the door to the right, that lead into the bathroom and towards the toilet.

Inuyasha looked up from his desk and out his window noticing that it was getting dark outside too early for the time in the day it was. He quietly sniffed the air, and looked back down at the stacks of paper and books that laid before him. He frowned.

 

`Another storm is coming in…' his voice stated.

 

`Just a storm…' Inuyasha said as he opened another book, flipping through the pages looking for something.

 

`It's about to rain outside…' his voice said.

 

`Yes, it does that when it storms…' he said as he found the chapter he was looking for and started to read. His voice lowly growled at him and Inuyasha continued to read. `What?' he asked.

 

`Just look outside your door,' his voice said irritated. Inuyasha softly growled deeply as he stood up and walked in front of the door way facing the hallway and Kagome's room. Her door was wide open and he could see that she was sitting curled up in a chair outside. She didn't seem to be moving.

 

He took a deep breath and swiftly appeared outside next to her sleeping form. He frowned down at her, and looked up into the skies that were darkening fast. Thunder rolled in the distance and lighting dimly faded into the far-off clouds. He then gazed at the tiny sleeping woman. Her face was flushed and he could sense the faint scent of salt that lingered on her skin. Her slightly red lips were parted somewhat and her breathing was uneven and abnormal. Her long hair was braided and fell off to her side. Wisps of curls had fallen out and fell gracefully over her flushed face.

 

`Still want to abide by the rules?' the voice asked mockingly. Inuyasha groaned slightly and shook his head at the comment, trying to ignore his voice. He slowly bent down and gently picked up the tiny woman in his arms and slowly walked with her back into the house. She unconsciously leaned her head against his abs and curled more into his warm arms. He frowned more. He thought he heard her whispered his name in her sleep, but he kept telling himself that it was just possible wishful thinking. He walked over to her bed and gracefully laid her down and gazed at her as she curled up against the blankets. He noticed that his mokomokosama had appeared to be in the bed, and slowly wrapped itself around her. His frown deepened.

 

`This is not good,' he thought to himself.

 

`You are just taking the easy way out…' his voice growled. Inuyasha decided to not reply to his voice as he quickly left her room and shut the door before leaving the house as the storm grew closer. He walked down the hall and out two double doors, that lead out into the main hall way.

 

He walked into the kitchen a few minutes later, to find Kaede cooking for dinner. She smiled up at him and continued what she was doing. She watched him with a smirk on her face.

 

“What are ye doing Inuyasha?” she asked as Inuyasha started to pace back and forth in the kitchen.

 

“Thinking,” he replied quickly. She shook her head smiling and turned back to the stove to cook. Inuyasha had stopped pacing and turned to the ageing woman. “Kaede, how bad would it be to go against the codes of our house?” he asked carefully.

 

Kaede's laughed rung through the kitchen and echoed slightly. “Inuyasha, it depends on what rule you are planning on breaking,” she said turning back towards him raising one eye brow.

 

“I am not planning anything,” he responded.

 

“Of course not, Inuyasha. Of course not…” she said as she started walking towards the cooler to grab the frozen meat.

 

“Let's say that it breaks a huge rule Kaede. One that goes back plenty of generations…and one that hasn't been broken. Ever,” he asked leaning against one of the many tables.

 

“Inuyasha, all of the codes of House of Taishou have been broken at some point I assure you,” she said giving him a warm smile as she walked past him. Inuyasha's frown deepened. “And times change Inuyasha. Most of those rules are even outdated and don't fit in with today's growing society. “

 

“Kaede, I am positive that this code hasn't been broken,” he sighed.

 

Kaede paused at what she was doing and looked up at the young man's eyes. “Inuyasha, I am positive that this code. It has been broken and by someone you would never guess. Now, why don't you go for a run,” she said with another warm smile and she walked away from him humming a tune.

 

He turned and walked more confused than before. But, he quickly appeared back in his rooms and changed into cloths that would be easier for him to run in.

 

`A run in the a storm. Something we haven't done a few centuries,' the voice laughed.

 

`Yes, a run will do us good, clear our mind…' Inuyasha responded as he walked out of his room.

Kagome woke up suddenly and jumped up looking around frantically. She slowly realized that she was in danger and glanced around the now dark room. `It was just a dream,' she told herself.

 

`It seems that we can't even escape him in our dreams my dear…' her voice said miserably.

 

`We will have to end this…' she said. She screamed and jumped again when thunder clapped loudly outside her windows. She frowned looking out into the wet darkness as the storm had hit. She laid back down and curled up more in the blankets, wrapping herself more in the now fur blanket. She starred into the white fur. “What are you exactly?” she whispered into the fur.

 

“He is a part of me…” came a deep voice from across the room. Kagome quickly sat up again and looked to see Inuyasha walking into her room with a towel in his hand. He was drying his long beautiful hair and his body. She noticed that his cloths were also soaking wet.

“A part of you…?” she asked confused.

 

“Yes, all inu-demons have one. We are all born with them. They help us transform,” he stated as he stopped in front of her bed. Lighting lite the dim room as he watched her.

 

“Transform, you mean into that…that creature that attacked me?” she whispered.

 

He slightly winced at her words and shook his head slowly. “Yes, and no. We all look different, but same basic structure,” he said trying to explain it to her.

 

Kagome suddenly blushed. “When…when will I be able to see you transform?” she whispered looking up into his golden eyes. She thought she saw him smile for a split second. It made her heart start to beat faster, but when she blinked it was gone.

 

“Hopefully never,” he said as he turned to walk away. “There is food ready that Kaede has made if you are hungry,” he said.

 

Kagome watched him walk away and looked back down at his mokomokosama and smiled as she ran her fingers through the silk fur once more before standing up and stretching. She slowly walked into the bath room and looked at herself in the mirror. She bit her lip when she saw her reflection. Her body still hasn't healed from the attack and the cuts and bruises were still very much noticeable. She was very pale do to not being able to be in the sun light. She quickly unbraided her hair and through it up into a messy bun.

 

 

She walked hesitantly into the large kitchen hoping that Inuyasha was right and that there still was food left. She smiled when she heard the familiar voice of the old maid. “Come in my dear,” she said happily. Kagome laughed when she saw the old woman rushing over to her. “My goodness my dear! You look, well lets just say that the fates have not been kind to you Kagome. Inuyasha has kept you from everyone, I have not seen you. You look skinny my dear! Here let us put some meat on them skinny bones of yours,” she said as she grabbed Kagome's hand and sitting her in a chair at one of the small tables. Kagome laughed at her words.

 

“I don't like that I am that small Kaede,” Kagome said she sat down.

 

“If you wish to get better, you must eat. So eat!” she said as she place a huge plate of food on the table in front of Kagome.

 

“I ah, don't think I can eat all of this Kaede. That is a lot of food…” she said as she starred at the mountain in front of her.

 

“Just eat my dear,” she said as she quickly walked off again.

 

Kagome took her fort and started to eat. “Kaede why are there no other people around here?” she asked as she chewed.

 

“Don't talk with your mouth full my dear!” she called out from behind a shelf. “Well, the brother's cousins are currently out of town. But they will be back in a couple of days. They will be thrilled to see someone new in the house. Though I do believe that they wont leave you alone…” she said as she continued to clean.

 

“Their cousins live here too?” she asked after she swallowed a bit.

 

“Yes, they live on the first floor in the opposite side of the house. And there are some of his cousins that live out in the guest house that is down the road a little ways,” Kaede said as she smiled at Kagome. Kagome frowned at the thought of a whole house full of demons and being only two humans. “They are, not as reserved as the brothers. Though I have noticed a change in our Inuyasha since your arrival here at the house. I hope you do not leave too soon…” she said slowly as she watched the young woman eat. Kagome slowly put down the fork and starred sadly at the left over food.

 

“I'm not sure how long I'll be able to stay Kaede,” she whispered slowly.

 

“And why not..?” she asked as she stopped and turned to looked at the young woman.

 

“Because, I need to go back to someone…” she whispered.

 

“No, I do believe that you belong here. Otherwise you would have ended up here. The Kamis work in amazing ways my dear. And if they want it to be, then it must be…” she then started to clean again lost in the task at hand. Kagome inwardly sighed and pushed the plate away and slowly stood up.

 

`Meant to be here?' she asked herself.

 

`These turn of events didn't just happen, there is always a reason behind everything Kagome…' the voice said softly.

 

`But, is it possible that I belong here?' she asked.

 

`Would you want to belong here?'

 

`I feel safe here…'

 

`It isn't so bad here…'

 

`But, we can't stay…maybe this was meant to be in a different life, at a different time. Not now…' Kagome whispered sadly. Her voice just sighed and said nothing in return.

 

She slowly walked back into the hall way that separated the two rooms and jumped again when thunder shook the whole house. She looked curiously down the hall and saw that there were a lot more rooms down the hall. With her curiosity driving her she walked forward to inspect one of the rooms. She decided to start at the very end of the hall and work her way back up.

 

She had went through mostly all of the rooms, some of them were locked. They were just more spare bed rooms, though not as marvelous as the room that was given to her. Two of the rooms were empty studies and one huge library that held more books than Kagome had ever seen in her life. When she came to the closest door that was next to hers she paused before she opened it.

 

When she opened it she gasped softly at the amazing room. It was dark at first but she could see the amazing décor. She quickly walked over to the windows and pulled open the huge cloth curtains. When lighting flashed she could see the dust particles flying through the air. She looked on the walls for a light switch and soon found one flipping it in the opposite direction. She stood frozen in her place when she finally saw the entire room light up. She smiled as she looked down at her feet to see pure white marble titles and that the walls were the same faint purple color as her room. There were small bookshelves all around the room, and more paints covered the walls, though these ones were far more magnificent than the ones hanging on her walls. She walked in circles looking up to the doom golden ceiling and stopped abruptly when she noticed something standing in the middle of the room, covered with a dark brown cloth. She slowly walked over to it, holding her breath.

 

`Is that…?' her voice asked when the reached it. Kagome's smile widened when she pulled the cover off to find a piano that still looked brand new.

 

`Yes, it is a piano,' she whispered to her voice. She slowly walked over to the back with keys and lifted up the cover over the black and white keys. She ran a shaking hand gently down the length of them making sure not to let them sound off. `Do you think if would be wrong if I…?' she asked as she slowly sat down on the bench and pulled it closer getting a good sitting position.

 

`Just play…' her voice whispered.

Kagome barely noticed the another loud thunder clap as she place her fingers on the right keys to start the song. With shaky fingers she slowly began to play the soft melodic song. She closed her eyes letting out a deep breath as her hands gain their strength again and began playing with more confidence. She smiled as she watched her fingers move along the keys with ease, remember the soft song. She continued to play as she closed her eyes again letting the music flow lightly through the room.

Inuyasha froze at his desk when he thought he heard music coming from in the hallway. He shook his head thinking he was day dreaming and started to begin reading again. But, he stopped again when the music continued to play. He quickly got out of his chair and knew exactly where the music was coming from.
