Love, Murder, and Betrayal


By: Miztikal-Dragon

Chapter four: A funeral, unlikely love, and a very disgusted wolf demon.
"What the hell was her problem?" he growled rubbing his face as he drove home. He still had her clothes in his hand, Inuyasha had only gone to check and see if Kagome was okay, since a young girl was murdered and it was all over the news.

He stopped in his garage and walked up to his room. Inuyasha sat on his bed for a while thinking. Then he smiled as he found a possible answer.

'I'll call Miroku. He’ll know what to do.' He thought as he grabbed the cell phone off of his night stand. 'What time is it in Tokyo?' a voice said, 'Who's cares, Miroku won't mind.' Inuyasha punched the number in and silently waited for an answer.

"Moushi Moushi" a young man said into the phone.

"Hey Miroku is that you?" Inuyasha asked quietly.

"The one and only, who's this?" Miroku questioned confused. "It's Inuyasha, you dope!" he replied.

"Hey, long time since we've spoken." Miroku laughed.

"Yeah but I need to talk to you, it's very important." Inuyasha told his friend.

"What about?" he blabbed self-consciously.

"I think it's started again, only in America this time."

"What do you mean Inuyasha? I'm confused?"

"A youkai was slaughtered the other night. She was about k-Kikyo's age." Inuyasha sadly told Miroku.

"NO way! I thought that Naraku was dead." Miroku gasped into the phone receiver.

"I thought so too, until a few days ago when he attacked a young girl."

"Who is this girl?" Miroku asked becoming very interested into this new subject.

Inuyasha chose to ignore Miroku's tone of voice. "Some girl named Kagome Higurashi, I think."

"Hmm, Kagome. I think I've heard that name before, hold on a sec and I'll go ask."

Inuyasha grunted as he heard some shuffling, he knew that Miroku would be at school, hopefully not at one of his classes or something. The hanyou heard people close by, he yawned then fixed his attention on Miroku's conversation with a girl.

"Hey Sango. Baby! I've got to ask you a question."

"No, I won't go out with you, you lecher!" she growled

Inuyasha laughed as he heard his friend being slapped, 'Poor Miroku,' he thought. 'He never gets a break.'

"No, not that my love, a serious question about a girl." Miroku said rubbing his cheek.

"I thought all the questions were serious if they were about girls." Sango asked with bitter sarcasm, "but what do you want, I'm busy."

"Who's Kagome Higurashi? I can't remember?" Miroku replied quizzically.

"Oh my god, is she okay? What's going on Miroku? Who are you on the phone with? Is it Kagome? IS she hurt? Tell me!" She demanded being very hostile.

Inuyasha blinked, 'They know who she is!' "Thanks Miroku, I've got to get going, call you later!"

"Wait Inuyasha!---" The hanyou hung up and stared up at his ceiling. Every once in a while he would look over at his clock when it was about three in the morning. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

oOo

Sesshomaru had been in a restless sleep for no longer than a few hours. His head swelled with pain as his migraine grew. His younger brother was the reason Sesshomaru always had pounding headaches. He could hear his younger brother in his room down the hall.

"If you only knew how much I despise you, little brother, then my plans wouldn't have to take so long." he whispered to himself.

He turned over in his bed, he knew that sleep wouldn’t come anytime soon that night. The tired Sesshomaru growled as his cell phone loudly went off, he tried to ignore it but his migraine grew strong and with a vengeance so he grabbed his phone.

"Who is it!" he growled angrily, looking at his clock.

"Sesshomaru?" a young girl asked quietly.

"Yeah what do you want Star?" he said growing calm becoming sleepy.

"I'm scared."

"Why?"

"My power went out and I'm all alone. Could you come over?" Star pleaded.

"I would but it's one in the morning, just go to sleep." he groaned.

Sesshomaru chuckled in his head because he knew that even it if wasn't one in the morning he wouldn't go over to her place.

"Please, I'm scared. I don't know…." he heard a sudden gasp.

Then there was a loud thud and right away he knew that Star had dropped her cell phone as it hit the floor. Sesshomaru yawned, still holding his phone in his hand rather loosely. There was a loud, hideous scream of pain as well as something rather large hitting the ground and then the slamming of the front door.

He hung up his phone putting it on his night stand, slightly annoyed he whispered. "Naraku, you're getting way too close for comfort"

oOo

Kagome heard a bell ring, and rolled over on her bed. "Mom would you get that!" she yelled putting a pillow over her face.

The door began to shake on its hinges as somebody pounded on it and kept ringing the obnoxious doorbell. Kagome groaned and got out of bed. She put on her robe and slipped her feet into her pink bunny slippers.

"Hold on. I’m coming!" she growled walking down the hall.

The pounding grew louder and it gave her such a headache. She opened the door just as a fist came down inches from her. That woke her up. She stumbled backwards and unluckily tripped over Buyo.

She looked up and growled, "What do you want!"

Inuyasha stood there for a moment unsure about what he was going to say. "Well I thought you should have been up and ready by now, since it is Monday and we do have school and all."

"What do you mean?" She asked confusedly.

"It's time to go to school and you're still in your pajamas!" he growled as he looked down at her.

Kagome wore a small black robe, which now practically was at her wrists after she'd fallen. Her pajamas were a long, dark-blue silk nightgown, it had tiny straps which showed off her broad shoulders. Her raven colored hair clung to her body.

Inuyasha tried to stay mad at her for the other nights incident, but his anger melted away quicker than when he gets angry. She blushed as she caught him staring like some lost puppy. He wore a plain black shirt, big black baggy jeans, a Harley Davidson bandana, and a dog collar, not to mention something silver around his neck that Kagome herself couldn't figure out.

"Don't stare you pervert!" she said as she pulled her robe over herself.

Inuyasha helped Kagome stand, then crossed his arms over his chest, closed his eyes and stuck up his nose. "You'd better hurry up and get ready for school if you don't want to be late for school! You stupid wench!"

"Don’t call me names you jerk!" she yelled as she brushed herself off.

"Bitch! Go get ready for school! You stupid, ugly wench!" he roared in her face.

Her eyes swelled with tears as Inuyasha yelled hurtful things to her face. Normally she couldn't care less of what people called her. This time was different, his words cut her and left her body stinging and bleeding.

Kagome turned away from him as he continued to yell and scream. She didn't want to argue back, all she wanted was to find a nice quiet corner to hide in from the world so everyone would just leave her to whither away unnoticed, like how it used to be before she met him.

She closed her eyes letting the tears run down her face and collapsed to the ground.

oOo

Two years Earlier:

It was the last day of school, and she was missing it so she could go home back to Tokyo, the one place where she actually belonged. Before she got on the plane her mother gave her a hug and kiss.

"Now you email me right when you get to the shrine honey!" her mother smiled.

"I will mama," Kagome said as she hugged her mom one last time before she boarded the 'Continental Flights' airplane. Luckily her mother had been quite wealthy and got Kagome a first class seat.

When Kagome reached her seat she looked out the window and waved goodbye to her mother one last time. Then the plane took off, and Kagome settled down and opened her book and quietly she began to read.

"Excuse me miss but you're in my seat," a young man's voice said interrupting Kagome's focus.

"Huh? What do you mean I'm in your seat?" she said becoming annoyed, as she continued to read her book.

"Uh, well you're in C125 and that's what my ticket says." he replied.

"Look! My seat is B125, and your seat is right there!" Kagome said pointing to the seat next to the window.

"Oh, I'm sorry then, but could you move so I can get to my seat?" he asked softly.

Angrily she put down her book and stood up. She didn't realize that the young boy had been so close to where she sat. He stepped back and smiled. Kagome eyed him, letting her gaze make her way down his body, noting his muscles.

He had black hair and ice blue eyes that stared at her intently. She blushed as she moved out of his was. He was gorgeous. As the boy put his luggage above their seats he smiled and sat down next to the window.

"So where are you headed to?" Kagome asked as she sat back down in her seat watching the young man intently.

"Uh, Tokyo. I'm coming back from my vacation. How about yourself?" he questioned curiously

"Well I'm coming from my moms, in other words once I get to Tokyo my dad's visitation starts." she sighed looking at her shoes.

"Oh, I'm sorry" he said.

"Oh, don't be. I don't like America anyway. Give me good ol' Tokyo any day," she replied smiling widely.

"So, what are you going to do when you get to your dads?" the boy said nudging her side.

"First I'm going to unpack, then probably hangout with friends." Kagome shrugged, completely oblivious to his hints.

Many hours went by as they talked with each other about anything. Just use your unperverted imagination and they probably conversed about it.

"Oh, by the way, I'm Koga," he said smiling, showing off his pearly whites.

"I'm Kagome" she replied happily.

oOo

"What the fuck…." Inuyasha yelled as he watched Kagome collapse to the ground.He could smell the salt from her tears. The hanyou couldn't believe that she just passed out.

'I wonder what I said?'

'Maybe it was "Bitch go get ready for school, you stupid ugly wench!'' ' A voice noted inside his head.

'Who the fuck are you?'

'I'm the part of your brain, you know the one that you never use! You never use me, oh no the worlds coming to an end.' it said sarcastically.

'So are you my conscience?'

'Yes, you dumbass, now go and help her, or are you going to let her lay there in her skivvies!' the voice growled angrily.

Inuyasha groaned and gently took Kagome into his arms. Her silk pajamas were soft and cold against his arms. He tried not to blush, but his cheeks slightly turned pink.

'Why is it that whenever I'm with Kagome she's rather really angry with me or out cold?' he thought as he walked up the stairs to her room.

'That's because you're an ass' the voice said coldly in his head.

"FEH"

Inuyasha carried her into her room bridal style and placed her on the bed by the wall. He sighed as he covered her up. The hanyou sat down on the floor crossing his legs sitting Indian style. After a few minutes of fidgeting he jumped to his feet and began pacing back and forth. He listened to his surroundings and stopped as Kagome stirred, but didn't awaken.

"Hmm, I'm Kagome," she whispered.

"Well I already knew that!" he murmured.

She sighed heavily and smiled, "I'll call you when I get home."

'I wonder if she's dreaming.'

"Bye--Koga." she mumbled.

"WHAT!" Inuyasha froze and stared at Kagome, "How the fuck does she know him!”

Kagome rolled onto her side, she felt someone staring, but she already thought she knew who would be there and she prayed to God that it all had been a dream. She yawned and opened her eyes, but she didn't turn to see her visitor.

"Hey look, I know you're awake," he began.

"No, I'm dead." she said sarcastically.

"Uh, well anyway, I hope you're okay." he sat down on the edge of Kagome's bed.

She moved away from him, "yeah I'm fine what are you doing here anyway?"

He didn't know how he was going to say it but it just all came out in a whirl, "Well.. I just came to inform you that Star's funeral--"

"Her funeral?" Kagome said facing him.

Inuyasha nodded sadly, "It's tomorrow night at seven, the school is giving all her friends the day off."

Tears swelled in her eyes, she put her face into her pillow and cried. Inuyasha didn't know what to do, he had to comfort her but he wasn't sure how. So he put his hand on Kagome's trembling back and rubbed it in a circular motion, trying to cease her tears.

"I didn't even know her for that long. Why am I crying?" Kagome whispered though muffled by a pillow and many hot salty tears. However, he heard her as clearly as day.

"It's because she befriended you when nobody else would," he sighed as he though of Kikyo.

oOo

Three years Earlier:

Kikyo smiled, it was the smile of a girl who had everything she'd ever wanted. She was happy. Class ended and Inuyasha walked towards her. Kikyo's hair blew in the wind, he thought it made her look even more beautiful then normal and the way her eyes glistened.

"Hello Inuyasha," she said sweetly.

He pulled Kikyo into his arms and kissed her forehead and she pulled away playfully.

"Inuyasha, people will see you," she giggled still pulling away.

He growled softly and pulled her back against his body and held her close. "So let them look!" The hanyou lowered his head and kissed her long and gently.

oOo

Meanwhile back into Tokyo

"AHH! HENTAI!" Sango screamed slapping Miroku in the face.

He smiled as he toppled over onto the floor, a red mark outlined on his face. They had been walking home from school when Miroku decided to place his hand on Sango's lower backside. She didn't appreciate his "show of affection.”

"How dare you Miroku!" she yelled kicking at his shoe "You're such a pervert! I don't know why I walked home with you!"

He looked hurt as he stood up and brushed off his school uniform, "Sango, my love it was just a friendly gesture."

She growled as she quickly walked in the direction of her house. Pride attacked and Miroku quickly followed behind her.

"Go away Lecher!" she said angrily not facing him.

"Nope, not until you bare my child. Sango my darling, my love!" he practically sang at the top of his lungs.

Sango let out a battle cry and turned swinging her fist at Miroku, trying to punch his face. However, he caught her knuckle in his hand and held it tightly. She flung her other fist his way, but to her disadvantage he grabbed her wrist and smile as he pulled her close as she tried to yank herself away from his grasp.

"Miroku let go!" she yelled.

"Now why would I do that?" he smiled evilly.

Sango could feel the heat of his breath against her lips as he drew closer. She moved backwards only to trip over her own feet and falling back, dragging Miroku along with her. He landed on top of her in a very awkward position.

"Well, if you wanted to go further than what I was thinking Sango, I will comply with your demands my dear!" he said as he ran his fingers threw her hair gently.

"….."

She couldn't say anything her mind was blank, frozen in complete shock by Miroku's actions. He seemed so gentle and he hadn't even tried to grope her, yet. Before she knew it he leaned into her and kissed her softly, his hand on the nape of her neck, pulling her closer. Her hands were trapped under his chest. He left no space between the two of them as he prodded her lips with his, and Sango didn't pull away.

They were completely entangled with each other when a familiar voice rang out from above them.

"God, you two are worse than that shit for brains, dog-turd!" he groaned, kicking dirt at them.

Reluctantly Miroku pulled away from Sango and angrily glared up at the intruder. "Go the fuck away, Koga we're busy!"

Sango blushed heavily and looked at a near by tree, hoping they didn't look at her. Miroku stood up and pulled her up with him. She brushed herself off and looked up at the wolf youkai.

"What do you want anyway?" she said annoyed because she hadn't wanted to be interrupted especially by the likes of him.

Koga looked at his shoes and twiddled his thumbs. "I was going to ask if you'd heard from my Kagome?" he whispered

"Nope sorry nothing, but I've heard from Inuyasha." Miroku said.

The wolf youkai growled and stared at Miroku fiercely. "I don't give a rat's hairy ass about mutt boy!"

"ANYWAY!" Sango interrupted them grabbing Miroku's hand, pulling him away from Koga, "We've got to get going, so much to do, so little time, and don't think that we want to spend another minute with you Koga!"

Miroku laughed loudly as Sango dragged him away. He wrapped his fingers around hers and left Koga standing still completely baffled. It took him a minute to realize fully what Sango said, but by the time he growled both humans were already gone.

oOo

Kagome sniffled and glanced up at Inuyasha, he looked sad and distracted. 'What's wrong with him? I wonder what he's thinking about that would make him so sad.' she thought as she turned to face him. Inuyasha put his hand in his lap and sighed. He tried to smile, and wiped away the left over tears from Kagome's face with his thumb, being careful not to nick her with his claw. She watched him, staring into his amber eyes, no matter how much of a jerk he was to her, he made her feel somewhat safe.

"Kagome?" he whispered softly trying to organize his thoughts.

"Yeah?" she replied sitting up to where she could have an actual eye to eye conversation with him.

"I…uh…I-" he stuttered trying to say it as nicely as possible.

She didn't know what he was going to say, but she knew that it wasn't going to be good. She leaned over and put her hand over his. Kagome tried to smile, but her face betrayed her, making her look even more depressed.

"It's okay. I'm here for you Inuyasha," she assured him.

A deep blush crept over his face and all the words became blank, his mind went empty. Inuyasha didn't know what to do, Kagome's hand felt warm against his. 'I'm here for you too,' he thought as he sighed turning his eyes away from hers. He couldn't look at her anymore.

Kagome let go of him and got up. She walked over to her closet and pulled out an article of clothing. She looked at him, all the emotions left her face and she looked dead.

'Just like Kikyo' he thought watching her.

"Inuyasha, would you leave, I would like to be alone." Kagome said pointing to her bedroom door, signaling for him to leave.

He nodded and got to his feet walking out of her bedroom. She closed the door behind him and locked it. He shrugged his shoulders and slowly made his way down the stairs. He was going to leave, but he faintly heard water running and that made him feel very uncomfortable. He walked into the living room and quietly sat on the couch, and patiently waited.

oOo

Kagome pointed to the door signaling him to leave. Surprisingly he didn't put up a fight. He just nodded and walked out. She closed the door and locked it behind him, making sure that she wouldn't get any unwanted watchers. She walked into her bathroom and turned on the water testing it to make sure if it was warm enough.

"Why can’t Inuyasha always be nice to me?" she sighed going over to her dresser getting out a change of clothes.

Slowly she went back into the bathroom and undressed. She closed and locked the door and climbed into the shower. Kagome let the water pound against her body as she thought about everything that had been going on since she first came to her mother's house this year.

'I've been attacked twice, gotten horribly sick, almost fell down a flight of stairs, and my friend's dead. How much worse could it get?' she thought as she began to wash her hair.
