***************************************************************** *******

 

Kagome

 

 

“Okay, it all started with a guy named Naraku…” I heard Inuyasha take a deep calming breath and I waited until he was completely settled before continuing. “Well, you all know that I went to the states for college right? Well, I did and I learned a lot. I had been there for almost 4 years and I was excited about making my way back home. I went for a teaching major at the University of Maryland so that I could come back to Japan and make a nice living and I was doing pretty well for myself until…he came along.

 

“Naraku Yokoshima was one of the richest and most powerful men in the United States when I happened to run upon him in an interview. I needed a subject for my term paper and when I heard he was in town I flocked for the opportunity to have such a powerful man in my thesis. I called, he agreed and a meeting was planned for that Thursday afternoon. I went to his office, right on time and super eager. But, he was way more eager to see me, as it were…

 

 

“All through out the meeting he kept flirting with me, hinting that I could be his next big star but I kept refusing him, trying to be polite and even though I was uncomfortable I was pretty flattered. Another week went by and I got a phone call from his secretary, asking me if I'd like to go out to lunch with Mr. Yokoshima. How could I refuse? We had lunch at a nice Italian restaurant and I had a great time. He was the perfect gentleman and I wondered how I could have been so uncomfortable around him before.

 

 

“We continued to date for the next few months and he was always really pleasant, a nice guy if you got to know him but then…things changed for the worst…” I raised my eyes to see that everyone was staring expectantly at me but I found that Inuyasha seemed to be having the worst time with my story telling.

 

 

His hands gripped the arms of his chair so hard his knuckles were white and his normally calm and playful amber eyes were cloudy with rage. He realized I was looking at him pointedly and gave me an encouraging smile before nodding his head to tell me to go on. I sighed. This was the part that I was most dreading telling and to have to relive it in my mind as well…

 

 

Taking a deep breath I continued, “It was late one night after work and I was supposed to pick Naraku up from his office so we could go to dinner. However, when I got to his office he already had someone in the room, a man, and he was talking to him about some women…”

 

I shuddered but continued on as though nothing had happened. “I didn't want to eavesdrop and I was about to knock on the door when I heard another voice in the room that didn't sound like a man at all. It was a woman and she was…crying.

 

 

“Naraku said something about her looking like a fine specimen to add to his collection and then walked around her, sizing her up like she was just a piece of meat. Then he told the other man to leave the room and he felt all over her, grabbing her like she was just a play toy. Right there in the office. I was so…shocked. Repulsed would be a good word here too.

 

 

“At this point I was hiding behind one of the doors and the other man caught me. I think his name was Bankotsu…but anyway he took me to Naraku, told him that he'd found a spy and asked him if he wanted me killed. I would have done anything at that moment to just die but Naraku looked at me and he…he laughed. Like it was all just a big joke and then said that I'd be a fine addition myself as his…personal assistant in the industry…”

 

 

I looked back up at the others just to see that they were keeping up and they definitely weren't looking away. Sango had unshed tears in her eyes that made her look as though she was going to drown; Miroku's eyes were as big as saucers and looked as though he'd like to throw up but when I looked to Inuyasha I gasped. His eyes had taken on an unnaturally red hue and two purple streaks had appeared on his cheeks. That combined with his elongated fangs gave him the sinister look of an animal on the hunt.

 

 

“Inuyasha?” His head snapped up to look at me and his teeth retracted, the stripes on his cheeks fading but the red tinted eyes remained. “Are you okay?” He nodded.

 

I could only think of one time when I had been faced with Inuyasha's jealous demon half and that was a serious situation so seeing it here, in Sango and Miroku's home was scaring the mess out of me. He grinned a little at me and I was confident enough to go on now that I realized he was calm.

 

 

Clearing my throat I started again, a little shakily as the worst part of my tale had yet to unfold. “Turns out Naraku ran a prostitution ring that had caused him to make most of his profits. Of course, that kind of stuff is illegal in the US and after our little…encounter that evening he couldn't have me blabbing to the media, which was what I wanted to do. After that he pretty much kidnapped me….

 

“He took me out of school while I was in my final semester, cut me off from my friends and family and took me out of state completely. Then did what he had told the man so long ago what he would do: he made me his personal secretary, a godmother, if you will, of the prostitution ring.” I broke off at this point and put my head down in my hands, trying to stop the unbidden images from flashing through my mind like earlier.

 

 

I felt a pair of arms around me that I recognized as Sango's and looked up to look her in the face, smiling at her before I continued. “I went to work with him on his private island, helping him to bring in girls during the day but then helping them escape at night after Naraku fell asleep…”

 

“But when did you get the chance to help these girls out Kagome? Surely this island had high security all around it?” Sango asked and I blushed a dark shade of magenta.

 

“He would be really tired after we…after he…you know. As for the security, I had those men wrapped around my finger. I was able to send in requests for supplies or food that wasn't really needed from the mainland and then Kagura, Naraku's sister, helped the girls onto the boats they had brought and managed to cart the girls off to safety.”

 

Sango's eyes bugged out and it was her turn to interrupt. “This man sounds like a monster Kagome! How did you get away?”

 

I shook my head and whispered, “I'm getting to that...” It fell quiet in the living room again and I was given my peace to explain.

 

“Well, there I was on this island with about 100 girls, no contacts to the outside world besides supplies and being pretty much raped by Naraku daily,” I shuddered noticeably and wrapped my arms around myself, “But it wasn't like I had a choice, if I didn't sleep with Naraku he threatened to kill me. Of course, I didn't really care about my death in fact I wished for it everyday but he threatened people that I cared about…”

 

I gave a pointed glance at Inuyasha and I could tell that the others understood but I wasn't sure that he caught it; his hair was acting as a shield so I couldn't see his face.

“Did anyone you know get killed Kagome?” Miroku asked, his eyes narrowed to the point of disappearing. I nodded slowly, “One…a young girl named Eri…”

 

Sango shook her head and asked, “What happened? What did she do?”

 

I sighed and said, “Naraku took her to his room one night so he could have his way with her. He sometimes took a break from me when he sensed that I was too tired to do him any good…Anyway, she goes to his room one night and then he just starts hollering at her, calling her awful names and then threw her out of his room yelling to his guards to take her off the island and have her killed. Said she didn't deserve to be there when she was…”

 

I stopped and clenched my long forgotten glass of water in my hand as I whispered, “When she was with child…”

 

Sango gasped and Miroku let out a noise that could only be described as a low growl.

 

“She was pregnant? And he just killed her?” Sango asked, her voice choked and threatening tears.

 

I nodded and let two tears roll down onto my cheeks. Then I took a deep shuddering breath and exclaimed, “I realized then that I had to get away, no matter what the cost. I needed to get away from this monster that had ruined my life and make it back home. The problem was, how?

 

“I sent for Kagura late one night and asked her if she would help me. She agreed, did some research for me and then explained that Naraku was going to have to go back to the mainland for a few days coming up in a week's time and I could possibly make my escape then, unnoticed by him since he wouldn't be there.

 

“We arranged for a small private jet for me to sneak out on to bring more clothing and supplies for the women because they were severely lacking in clothing and Naraku needed them in the best condition so he could make some money. It was an easy task to convince him to order more clothing but we came to the next hurdle: I needed to get to Japan. It may have been an easy task to get him to order clothes but another entirely to get him to order from Japan…”

 

I stopped and Miroku whispered, “So…how did you get him to do it?”

 

I blushed and explained, “I had to do a little….seducing….and in the end he agreed, but reluctantly. I knew he was suspicious of me and how his girls were disappearing but as he had no proof that I was helping them he couldn't do anything. He made it so that the plane would arrive the next weekend on the day he was supposed to return from the mainland. I knew I was cutting it close schedule wise but I needed to get away desperately.

 

“So, the night came for Naraku to leave and I immediately went into action. I would have just three days to smuggle out as many girls as possible as well as myself. The first day we managed to get 20 girls off the island and the second day we got even more gone. Kagura continued to call in for food from the mainland and they continued to send boats until they finally just sent us one large one on the day of my escape that fit the remaining girls on it.

 

“And so, that was it: I felt I had done my duty and I was ready to leave. I had not only helped almost 100 girls off the island I had also managed to get them new lives, a chance to start over. Then, the plane with the clothing came and Kagura and I pretended to be the only girls willing enough to help take the supplies off. The rest of the girls, we lied, were busy with customers at the moment. Then, when the men were checking the plane for fuel and whatnot Kagura slipped me into the back of the plane covered in blankets, wished me luck and then I was off…”

 

I got a dreamy look on my face as I remembered the feeling of being free and how wonderful it had felt. However, Miroku interrupted my reverie as he exclaimed, “So that was it? But what did you do when you got back here? Inuyasha said that he only found you the other day…”

 

I chuckled sardonically and said, “I wouldn't say that was it exactly. When I got back to Japan I was a wreck. I had been flying for almost 2 days with nothing to eat or drink and when we arrived in Japan I didn't know where to go. I thought about going home but for what? Then I thought about going to find you guys but I had no idea where to go. I wandered around aimlessly for about a week and I was so beat up I couldn't even remember how I got there. Then, Inuyasha found me...” I looked over at him fondly, “And here we are today.”

 

When I finished my story there was a shocked silence that was only broken by Sango whispering, “Kami Kagome…”

 

I nodded and then we both broke down crying all over each other, letting our grief at being apart and going through tragedy out all over each other's shirts.

 

It was awhile before I was ready to go but Sango had assured me that we would all go out and do something the next day if I was up to it so I let Inuyasha lead the way out to the car, a distant look on his face that could only mean that he was brooding over my story. I tried to say something but every time I looked at him the words died in my throat and I eventually quit trying, enjoying the silent car ride to my new home.

A/N: Okay, what did you guys think about this chapter? I know, I know, it was really dark and everything but I told you that Naraku would be a pretty repulsive character. I also think that it was a little disbelieving but I was tired when I wrote this so my bad! Well, let me know how you like it ! Until next time!!!
