InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Perfect Demon ❯ Silence ( Chapter 5 )

Chapter 5: Silence

 

Kagome opened her eyes when she felt someone playing with her hair. She always loved when people played with her hair and she smiled. The smile soon disappeared when she saw Naraku smiling down at her. She sat up, backing away at the same time and found herself against a wall.

 

“How are you feeling Kagome? When I found you it wasn't a pretty sight.”

 

Kagome felt her whole body begin to ache and tried not to show it on her face. She saw Kouga in the corner tied up and staring at her. They were still in Kouga's home. She was on the couch with a blanket around her and blood staining parts of the cloth. She looked down at herself and found that her clothes were torn and there was blood crusted on her inner thighs. She gasped before hugging the blanket to her body.

 

“It looks like the wolf has chosen you as his mate, but since he claimed you without your permission he's going to have to face the demon courts. Sesshomaru isn't going to be too happy about this. Nope, not at all,” Naraku snickered.

 

Kagome's head snapped up and she opened her mouth to speak, but she felt something hold her back. It was like duct tape had been put over her mouth. Why was this happening to her? She stood up and ran out into the street, holding the blanket around her. She kept running until she cam across Sesshomaru and Inuyasha's house. She saw Inuyasha inside and went to knock on the door. She couldn't bring herself to knock on the door. If Kouga had really forced himself on her what would Sesshomaru think? What if Sesshomaru wanted to have nothing to do with her?

 

Kagome felt the tears fall from her eyes when she heard Sesshomaru's voice talking to Inuyasha. Kagome took off to the human world and went to her home. She went to a short, cold shower before changing and going to her room. She curled up and soon fell asleep.

 

When Kagome woke up, she was still alone and she began to cry. Her bedroom door opened and Sesshomaru entered. Being part of the demon court he heard what happened to her. He sat down on the bed next to her and she sat up. He pulled her up and held her to his chest. He wouldn't leave her alone. Not at a time like this.

 

“Tell me what happened Kagome,” Sesshomaru said softly. Kagome shook her head, not able to talk. She didn't want to believe it happened. She still didn't know for sure anyway.

 

Sesshomaru kissed the top of her head and sighed deeply. He could tell that her scent was different, but it was still sweeter than ever. He wasn't going to just drop her like a whore. He would stay with her, for as long as it took to help her. Kagome backed away and wiped the tears from her eyes.

 

“What are you doing here Sesshomaru?” Kagome asked.

 

“I'm part of the demon court and I heard about Kouga mating you without permission. He will be tried soon. I'll have him punished for what he did to you,” Sesshomaru growled. Kagome buried her face into his chest once again.

 

“I'm sorry Sesshomaru. If only I wasn't so stupid to trust him.”

 

“Don't. Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. I should've looked after you. I should've protected you.”

 

“No. It's not your fault either. Time heals all wounds right? I'll go on as if nothing has happened. I found an old friend of mine. She told me a little about myself,” Kagome said her voice cracking in sadness every once and a while.

 

“You don't have to be strong at a time like this, Kagome. You can cry. I'll stay with you until you ask me to leave.”

 

“And Sango said she met you. She was really nice to me. I think the cops are going to hunt me down to interview me.” Kagome rambled on and on even when the silent tears began to stream down her cheeks. She couldn't stop the tears from falling, but she was still trying to ignore the reality of what had happened.

 

“Kagome please. Just stop for a second. You're in pain.” Sesshomaru gripped her chin and made her look him in the eye. “Don't push yourself. Just say the word and I'll come stay with you here.”

 

“No. I want to live here alone. I'm finding out more and more and I don't want to stop now!”

 

“You don't have to stop. Just let me help you. I know what you were like before you were turned into a demon. I can help you.”

 

Kouga's scent floated into Sesshomaru's nose and he growled, turning towards the bedroom door. Kouga opened the door and Kagome instantly grabbed onto Sesshomaru's shirt.

 

“Kagome, I need to tell you something. I was not the one who mated with you. It was Naraku. He was the one that defiled you. He said that he wanted you to bare him an offspring so he could study the outcome. I'm sorry Kagome. It wasn't me though,” Kouga explained quickly.

 

Sesshomaru snarled and turned to face Kagome. She was staring at the stomach with an unreadable expression. Sesshomaru stood and walked over to Kouga. “You are going to explain everything you know to me now.”

 

When Sesshomaru and Kouga left the room Kagome went into her bathroom. She grabbed a pair of scissors and put it against her lower stomach. She was not having this disgusting creature even if it killed her. She stabbed herself before taking out the scissors and grabbing a towel. She pressed it against the self-inflicted injury. She felt blood began to leak out of her legs as the multiplying egg began to move out of her.

 

Sesshomaru instantly smelled Kagome's blood and ran to her. Kagome was standing on shaky legs, staring at the pool of blood at her feet. Sesshomaru picked Kagome up and set her in the bathtub. She was getting very pale and the bleeding wasn't stopping.

 

“What did you do?” Sesshomaru asked getting scared that he was going to lose her for good this time. Kagome only stared up at Sesshomaru with big eyes. She was beginning to heal and her blood stopped flowing through her open wound. She closed her eyes to focus on something other than the pain racking through her.

 

“I don't want to have Naraku's baby. I want to have yours. That creature wasn't meant to be born. I am not giving birth to something like that.”

 

Sesshomaru stared at Kagome with wide eyes. She hurt herself to kill this unwanted creature yet she wanted his child in her. He leaned down and rested his forehead against hers. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Kagome smiled weakly and reached up to turn on the shower. Sesshomaru jumped away and looked at Kagome.

 

“Can you help me take off my clothes? I want to clean off the blood before you lose control,” Kagome stated.

 

Sesshomaru nodded and took off her clothes slowly, making sure not to hurt her. The blood rinse off of her and Sesshomaru examined her wound. It was a big hole that would take a couple of days to heal even for a demon. He picked her up and sat her on the toilet. He dressed her wound and dried her off before carrying her to her bed. He returned to the bathroom to clean up the delicious, smelling blood.

 

“Thank you Sesshomaru,” Kagome whispered before going to sleep. When Sesshomaru was finished he laid down next to Kagome to watch over her. He didn't smell Kouga nearby anymore and relaxed. They were alone.

Kagome was curled up on Sesshomaru's chest sleeping soundly and he was holding her tightly. He didn't want her to wake up because he was enjoying the closeness to her. She would want him to leave, but he couldn't after what happened. Kagome began to move and Sesshomaru kissed her forehead as she was waking up.

 

“Sesshomaru? You're still here?” Kagome asked rubbing her eyes.

 

“I'm not going to leave, Kagome. I can't leave you.”

 

Kagome only nodded before looking down at her stomach. She placed her hand on the bandage and flinched at the pain that coursed through her.

 

“No one will ever hurt you again Kagome. I promise.”

 

Kagome had never seen Sesshomaru this way before. He was blaming himself for all of this. She knew she couldn't convince him that this wasn't his fault and that made her feel guilty. She leaned up and kissed Sesshomaru's cheek before standing up to get dressed. She slowly got dressed careful to not open her wound.

 

Then Inuyasha arrived. “Knock, knock! I'm coming in!” Inuyasha entered the bedroom and noticed the tension.

 

“So this is where you were all night? I heard that Kouga attacked Kagome and came to see if she was alright.”

 

“She's fine,” Sesshomaru snapped. Kagome glared at Sesshomaru before turning to Inuyasha.

 

“I'm alright Inuyasha. Thanks for checking up on me. Sorry about him. He's just a little cranky,” Kagome joked. She was trying to give Inuyasha the impression that he didn't have to stay here and worry.

 

“Cranky?” Sesshomaru asked getting angry. Kagome smiled brightly at Sesshomaru and went over to sit next to him.

 

“I guess I'll give you two your space.” With that Inuyasha left. Kagome moved to sit on Sesshomaru's lap and laid her head against his chest. She sighed and began to cry feeling as if she couldn't hold it in anymore.

 

“Why is this happening to me? I don't understand!” Kagome cried looking to Sesshomaru for answers.

 

“If you hadn't been my perfect meal this would've never happened to you. I'm sorry Kagome. I truly am.”

 

And then the room filled with a silence that was full of remorse and sadness.
