InuYasha's Strength

Chapter 5

Unresolved Issues

 

`Of all the stupid things.' Kagome went through InuYasha's pant pockets as she prepared them to be washed. After she finished with his pants, she moved on to Keitaro's. Although the child rarely put anything in his pockets, Kagome always checked. She was sorry that she checked them this time. She reached in and felt something slimy. Pulling it out as a small tree frog leapt from her fingers onto the floor next to her feet.

 

“INUYASHA!”

 

InuYasha sat in his office. He had worked from home ever since that night, refusing to leave her knowing it could be any time. At least that was his excuse. Naraku was on the loose, and not knowing where he was bothered him.

 

`He knows where we live, why hasn't he made his move? What is he planning?'

 

He went over everything, the phone call, the escape-the past. He remembered the day he had first met Kagome; he had made her cry. Naraku tried to take advantage of her way back then.

 

*****Flashback*****

 

It was a beautiful day, and InuYasha felt trapped as he sat behind his desk.

 

`School is overrated.' He thought as he looked out the window.

 

As the bell rang he quickly got up and left the room. As he went to his next class, his nose caught hold of a wonderful smell.

 

`Wildflowers and Vanilla?'

 

He tried to follow the wonderful smell, but was stopped by someone's hand.

 

“InuYasha? Where are you going? Class is this way!” InuYasha turned to face the girl that held him back.

 

“I know that Kikyo.” He said placing a chaste kiss on her lips.

 

“Well, lets go. This is the one class that we are in together, and I don't want to miss a minute of it.”

 

“Don't you want to skip Kikyo?”

 

“What?”

 

“I mean, its beautiful outside and we still have four hours of this shit left.”

 

“Come on InuYasha.” Kikyo said as she dragged him to the next class.

 

As the final bell rang, InuYasha walked from his classroom into the hallway where his nose picked up on that wonderful scent again. This time, he followed it without interruption. As the owner of the wonderful aroma entered his sights, he had to swallow a little gasp.

 

“Kikyo?” he whispered. The girl before him not only resembled Kikyo; but also could've very well been her twin. He felt his temper surface as jealousy rang through his head. The girl's back was up against the lockers, pinned with arms on either side of her head by none other than the school's second most feared jock.

 

“KOGA!”

 

“DOG SHIT!” was Koga's annoyed response. “What the fuck do you want?”

 

“Get away from her, you have a girl remember?” InuYasha said as he looked over the girl. She was wearing a sherbet orange skirt with a white form fitting sweater and black sandals.

 

“No I don't.”

 

“Oh no?”

 

“You mean Ayame? Nah, she was yesterday. I'm on the market today and it so happens I found my next mate.”

 

A small gasp made the two turn their attention to the girl in question.

 

“What does that mean?” the girl asked timidly.

 

“It means you are his next choice for his FUCK toy. As soon as he's done with you, he'll dump you and move on to the next girl. Just like he did his Ayame.” InuYasha said as a sarcastic smirk went across his features.

 

“You looking for trouble Dog Shit?”

 

“Trouble? You? Don't make me laugh Koga.” InuYasha turned and walked away from Koga.

 

“Hey Girl! Make sure that you watch him. I heard he rally likes to pound as he fucks.”

 

He heard another gasp from the girl and a muffled growl from Koga.

 

`3, 2, 1…'

 

Koga lost his temper and released a battle cry that echoed throughout the crowded halls. InuYasha sensed him coming at him and dodged his attack easily. He whirled around and landed Koga a swift right upper hook under his chin. Koga fell to the ground and lunged at InuYasha again. This time, InuYasha met him with a swift punch to the belly, knocking the wind from the wolf demon. Walking over to the fallen wolf, InuYasha pinned Koga's head to the ground with the heel of his military style boot, and leaned down till he was leaning on his own knee.

 

“And that is why you are the second place jock in this school.” He said as he grinned.

 

“Fuck you.”

 

InuYasha removed his boot from Koga's head and stood up. Noticing he had drawn a crowd, he shrugged.

 

“What? Go on. Nothing to see here.”

 

InuYasha turned to face the girl who sat on the floor.

 

“You all right?”

 

The girl nodded and InuYasha continued his inspection of her further. Now that he looked at her, she did resemble Kikyo, but there were several differences. Her eyes were as coal as black with a tinge of blue, as was her hair. Her body was well toned and slender and her aura was shy and peaceful but fierce and kind.

 

“What?” InuYasha snapped from his thoughts as he looked the girl in the eye as she stood to meet his gaze.

 

“Feh.” He turned to leave her, but felt a hand on his shoulder.

 

“Wait.”

 

“What?” he snapped, making her draw her hand away quickly.

 

“I just wanted to say thank you.”

 

“Feh, he does that to every new girl, and each time I put him in his place.” `That's a lie, normally you don't care who he fucks, just so long as he doesn't try anything with Kikyo.'

 

“Well, that is very kind of you. Thanks for coming to my rescue.” Then she smiled. InuYasha felt his heart stop and then beat faster just by this simple innocent action this girl had preformed.

 

“Feh, just don't get used to it. You've had your warning.” He watched as the girls smile quickly faded into a frown.

 

“Well, thanks just the same. I'll keep my guard up for guys like him.”

 

“Yeah, well I think he's probably the only one that will try anything with you. After all, there are plenty of other more pretty girls in the school he can chase after, you just happened to be the first one he saw.” He watched as the girl before him lowered her head. She walked away from him and retrieved her bags and began to walk down the hall. That's when it hit. The scent assailed him like that of rotting meat.

 

`She's crying? Why?'

 

`Duh, you dumb fuck. You.' His conscious said viciously.

 

“Feh, what do I care? I'm with Kikyo, and am happy where I am.” Just as he finished, he looked up just in time to see the girl be grabbed and pulled into a hall that she was passing. She let out a squeak of surprise as she stumbled in the direction she was being pulled.

 

`Only one person is that stupid.' InuYasha thought.

 

He ran in the direction that the girl had been pulled in and looked into the hall. The hall was empty, as the school had cleared out for the day. He quickly looking for her scent, to find where she had gone. Suddenly from his left, he heard a muffled cry.

 

`Its coming from the janitor's closet.' Without hesitation, InuYasha yanked the door open; the sight that met him made him want to kill. The girl he had just saved from Koga's sick lust was now straddled, wearing only her undergarments which she was struggling to keep on and trying to fight off her attacker. InuYasha grabbed her assailant by the back of his collar and threw him against the far wall of the hall. He then turned his attention back to the girl.

 

“Get dressed. I'll handle this.” The girl nodded and he closed the door.

 

“InuYasha. Isn't Kikyo enough for you to fuck?”

 

“What the fuck do you think you're doing to this girl Naraku?”

 

“She has something I want InuYasha. I will get it without your interference.”

 

“Over my dead body.”

 

“Why do you protect her InuYasha? Tell me, does Kikyo not please you anymore?”

 

“Shut the fuck up!” InuYasha said as he cracked his knuckles and lunged. Picking up the attacker by the front of his shirt, he shoved him against the wall again- making the previous indent even larger.

 

“You can't have her you know. She's a virgin and one of power.”

 

“What the hell do you know?”

 

“InuYasha, Kikyo will be most displeased knowing that you protect her clone.”

 

Naraku, I will say this only once so listen well. You leave the girl alone, or you will die at my hand.” With that he released his hold on Naraku and let him fall against the wall. He glared at him for a minute as Naraku tried to catch his breath. InuYasha turned and began to walk back to the closet.

 

“Is that a threat?” InuYasha stopped and turned back around. He knelt before the panting form that was Naraku until he was face to face.

 

“No. It's a promise.” He whispered in a deadly tone.

 

Naraku said nothing, but glared at him as he got up and walked back towards the closet. InuYasha waited for Naraku to leave before opening the closet. The girl was fully clothed again, with the exception of her shirt being torn. She was sitting with her arms wrapped around her knees that were tucked into her chest rocking back and forth with her head buried in her knees.

 

“Hey, are you ok?” The girl looked up and met his concerned gaze with an angry gaze of her own.

 

“What is wrong with you?”

 

“What?” That wasn't what he expected.

 

“That guy just tried to rape me in the janitor's closet of the school! I've been backed into a corner by a pushy guy and insulted by you! ALL IN MY FIRST DAY HERE!” With that she began to sob. InuYasha couldn't help but feel sorry for her. He knelt down next to her and patted her back as she cried, unsure of what else to do.

 

“I'm sorry.” The girl looked up at him, wiping her tears away furiously.

 

“It's ok.” He said as she turned away from him. “Not like you knew or anything.” The girl shook her head as sniffed.

 

“No, I shouldn't let myself get into such situations.”

 

“For what its worth, I'm sorry. I doubt though it would've made any difference if I knew you were new.”

 

“It's ok. Thanks for all your help. I'd probably be-.” She didn't finish as she didn't want to think about what might have happened if this he hadn't been there.

 

“My name is InuYasha.” He held out his hand.

 

“Kagome. Nice to meet you.” She said as she shook his hand.

 

“Well Kagome, I think it's time we went home, don't you think? I'll walk you so they don't try anything again.”

 

Kagome looked up at him and that's when he felt it. Her gaze was the arrow of cupid and he had just been shot. He waited as he held out his hand and after a minute or so she took it and stood up.

 

“Thank you InuYasha.”

 

*****End of Flashback*****

 

“I knew then I was in love with her. Nothing could ever change that.”

 

He turned his attention back to his work, but the thought of the threat that Naraku had promised still echoed through his head and plagued his thoughts. He found it hard to concentrate on his paper work, so he set it aside to work on his computer.

 

As he turned it on, his wall paper made his fears all drain away.

The wallpaper was a picture of Kagome and Keitaro sitting on a teeter-totter together. He had taken the picture from the other end of the teeter-totter and knew that it was one that he would treasure forever; it was the same day that Kagome had found out that she was pregnant. She was overjoyed at this and InuYasha was too. Kagome had been told that it was a miracle that none of her major organs had been damage and even greater miracle that she had lived with the transfusion. The one thing that had been damaged was her reproductive organs. The doctors said she had a slim-to-none chance that she'd have another baby. Kagome had been devastated. The day she found out she was having another baby was the happiest of her life and of his life. She glowed with the life that grew within her belly and this time, he would be there for her. Lost in his thoughts, InuYasha jumped as he heard a frightened cry from downstairs.

 

“INUYASHA!”
