Chapter 1: The Rape

Kagome looked around at her friends here and hesitantly began to speak.

"Everyone? I have to go back to my own time again, but just for two days, I'll be back early tomorrow night." Miroku and Sango bid their farewells, and Inuyasha merely snorted and jumped into the tree, his back to them all.

Shippou hugged Kagome goodbye, and she shouted goodbye to Inuyasha who simply raised his hand. She huffed and turned around, running towards the well and jumping down.

Back in her own time, Kagome headed straight to the tub for a nice bubble bath, and then she went downstairs for lunch. When she was finished eating, she left for the library where she remained until it was dark.

"Damn this stupid essay, I hate staying out so late and walking home in the dark." Much to her surprise, her comment was responded to.

"And for good reason, someone like me might come along." Kagome gasped and turned around, glimpsing a man in his early 20's before he covered her mouth and knocked her out.

When Kagome opened her eyes again, all she saw was darkness. She looked around before attempting to sit up, but she was immediately pushed back down by a rough pair of hands.

"Awake already, missy?" Kagome gasped and looked towards the owner of the voice. He was hungrily looking over her body, making her shiver and feel incredibly uncomfortable. She drew her arms around herself protectively before speaking.

"What do you want?"

"I think you have a pretty good idea of that," he replied as he ran his hand up along her leg. By instinct, Kagome reached up and slapped him.

In return, he slapped her back incredibly hard, sending her sprawling onto the floor. Kagome winced as she reached her hand up to her neck, rubbing the sore spot that had hit the wall.

`Dammnit, that's gonna be one hell of a bruise. I need to get out of here!' She thought, panicked. She felt herself being lifted from the ground as the man tossed her back onto the bed, his hands roughly touching her everywhere.

She struggled from his grasp, but he held her firmly in place. When she wouldn't stop struggling, he grabbed her wrist and injected a small needle into it. Kagome screamed, but her scream was cut short when she quickly lost consciousness.

When she awoke again, she was laying on a bench on the side of the road. She looked around confusedly, thinking it was all a dream.

She ran her hand along her neck, and immediately was frozen by the pain that ran down along her back. She bit her lip and stood up, racing off towards her home; wincing in pain the entire way.

When she arrived at her home she raced up the stairs, running into her room and locking the door. She slowly undressed and felt herself begin to cry as she observed the bruises covering her entire body.

She pulled on a pair of pajamas as she lay down on her bed and cried herself to sleep.

Kagome remained in her room for the rest of that night and the next day. When night fell she left her room and kissed her mother, grandpa, and brother on the cheek as they slept peacefully.

As tears formed in her eyes once more, she turned and ran out of the house, racing to the well.

As she arrived on the other side she hesitated, not knowing how she could look any of them in the eye. She sat down with her back against the well as she began to cry again, slowly crying herself back to sleep.

Meanwhile, Inuyasha was getting very impatient. Huffing and muttering under his breath, he raced off towards the well.

`That stupid girl, she's pushing her luck. I know she said early night, but it's already the middle of the night! She could be a little more considerate of my feelings.' Inuyasha's thoughts were halted as he reached the well and saw Kagome asleep next to it. He crouched down next to her and picked her up gently.

`She must've been too exhausted to get any further.' As he lifted her partway from the ground, Kagome winced and woke up. Feeling a man's arms around her, she screamed and fought to get down. Inuyasha laid her back down on the ground in shock as he began to get angry.

"Dammnit, wench! What the hell are you screaming for?" He yelled angrily. He opened his mouth to continue yelling, but was stopped by a sob from Kagome.

"Oh, Inuyasha…" she sobbed as she realized who he was. Inuyasha was taken aback by her sobs, wondering why the heck she was crying. He sat down in front of her and looked into her eyes, full of concern.

Kagome couldn't take it anymore, she threw herself forward against Inuyasha, sobbing heavily and hoping to find comfort. Inuyasha's eyes widened as he felt her against him, and he blinked confusedly before pulling her gently into his lap.

He wrapped one arm around her comfortingly, and wiped the tears off of her cheeks. Kagome was completely surprised at this display of gentleness from Inuyasha, and her sobs slowly died down.

"Kagome? A-are you, alright?" Inuyasha asked embarrassedly.

"Oh, Inuyasha!" Kagome sobbed once more, "It was terrible, I've never been so scared in my entire life!" Even more concerned now, Inuyasha tightened his grip around her.

Kagome immediately winced as her tears began to flow again from the pain. Inuyasha looked at her in confusion and pushed her hair away from her neck, revealing a large bruise.

"Kagome! Where did this come from?" He questioned her, stunned. Her sobs deepened as she buried her face against his chest, melting his heart instantly.

He swiftly looked up and down her body in shock, stunned to see all visible skin covered in bruises.

He didn't even want to think about what the skin he couldn't see might look like. Inuyasha tilted her head back slightly, and looked into her eyes.

Kagome gasped as she saw his eyes so full of concern, and she began to tell him the story.

Inuyasha sat there stunned, as she completed her story. He just couldn't believe it.

`Kagome? Raped? This couldn't be true.' He slowly stood, carrying her gently in his arms. As he stood, Kagome tightened her grip on his clothing.

`The fear, I can smell her fear. She's so afraid, so unsure. I should've been there for her. I failed Kagome, my Kagome.' His thoughts were cut short as he realized what he had just thought.

`My Kagome? Since when was she mine? She's only with me to seek the shards, right?' Inuyasha sighed as he looked down at the girl in his arms, knowing he was only lying to himself.

He had realized recently that he had growing feelings for the girl he endlessly tormented and insulted.

He smiled sadly as he noticed she had cried herself to sleep, yet her expression was still scared. As he reached the hut where they were staying, he set her down gently and checked on the others.

Seeing that they were all asleep, he returned to Kagome's side. She shivered lightly, and Inuyasha frowned to himself.

`It's summer, and she's shivering? It's so warm in here, she can't be cold. Is she still that scared?' He glanced around at the others, assuring himself they were all asleep.

"Kagome, I'm sorry, I should've been there." He whispered softly, eyeing her bruises once more.

"I could've helped you, done something, anything. You didn't deserve this at all, if only there was something I could do." He leaned down towards her, inhaling her scent. He frowned as he noticed that the cold scent of her fear and the sad, salty scent of her tears overcame her beautiful, sweet scent.

He was completely mystified by her regular, beautiful scent. It enticed him, excited him, calmed him, angered him, and worried him.

It smelled of jasmine and sakura blossoms; yet also spices and a simple cleanliness that was not common in his world.

His eyes slowly widened as he smelt a different scent as well; a very harsh, musky scent.
