CHAPTER 10: Critical
As the next morning dawned bright and clear, it showed no sign of the horror of the night before. Kagome tossed and turned her sleep disturbed by nightmares. That man’s face looming in front of her the pain he had caused her and the way that knife caught the light.
“Calm down, it’s okay.” someone whispered. Kagome was deep in the darkest part of her mind not listening, not wanting to. “Kagome wake up it’s over now.” that voice was telling her, something told her to trust it. This voice could not lead her wrong.
Slowly she opened her eyes and blinked away the harsh sunlight. Inuyasha was there looking down at her brushing the hair from her face telling her sweet nonsense.
Last night Inuyasha agreed to sleep next to her but he refused to sleep with her. Kagome tried to demand why but never got his reason. Now she understood. This morning, while she still felt a little dirty from last night, she didn’t feel like a slut for sleeping with him.
“Are you alright?” he asked gently. And while his voice was calm and sweet his eyes burned with hatred, anger, and a fierce desire to protect her. Kagome sat up and looked at him and felt the tears well up in her eyes. Instead of trying to stop her he opened his arms for her. Without prompt she fell into his warm strong embrace. She wallowed in her misery but unlike in her dream she was not alone and Inuyasha was with her.
She was comforted in his presence and really that was all she needed.
“You should eat.” he told her. “I’m not hungry.” her voice was muffled by his chest. “Your going to eat you need food in your stomach.” She didn’t protest.
Cradling her in his arms he lifted her up and carried her to the kitchen. He sat her down in a chair and poured her some cereal. He put in front of her but she didn’t eat.
“I know it hurts,” he said quietly wrapping his arm around her, “but you need to get better. You have to eat so you can be strong. Strong enough to overcome this.”
Inuyasha’s cell went off so he stood and answered it. “Hey Sango.” he said. Kagome feebly reached up and took the spoon. Carefully as if she might brake she scooped some of the sugar coated cheerios into her mouth and chewed slowly.
“Yeah Kagome’s right here.” she heard Inuyasha say. “Miroku nothing happened give the phone back to Sango.” “Yeah. No. No. Tell Miro to shut the hell up I’m in no mood this morning. It’s not that I’m not a morning person Sango but….yeah I know. Listen….Sango….Sango listen I….Kags…SANGO LISTEN! Kagome was…” he looked at her before covering his mouth and whispering, “Kagome was raped.”
Kagome looked up at the phone exploded with Sango’s curses, What’s, and promises of death to multiple people.
“Sango, Kagome doesn’t need someone to make death threats she needs someone to comfort her. Yeah. No that’s not a good idea. Shopping sounds like the perfect cure. Meet you at the mall in 20. Later.” and the phone call ended.
“Wanna go shopping love?” he asked her. Kagome nodded. He made her finish her food and strangely enough she actually felt a little better. He put her in the shower and let her wash her self. She scrubbed her skin raw trying to get all of that nastiness off of her.
When she stepped into the towel she was feeling a little cleaner. Inuyasha held up a pair of jeans and shirt with a small smile on the corner. When she got into her clothes she was able to feel like maybe last night could be shed off her.
In the car the song Survivor by Reba came on and she felt as if she might pull through this.
When they walked into the mall no one stared as if they knew she was dirty and she felt more confident. At the food court Sango and Miroku were plotting revenge at their favorite table.
“Kags.” Sango noticed her first. She got up and through her arms around her best friend. “Are you alright?” she asked. “Yeah Sango. I’m…I’m okay.” Kagome said hugging her back.
They sat down together with Miroku who pulled out some photos automatically and said without preamble, “Well you’ll be happy to know that the rapper was not found until morning and by now he is probably in the deepest recesses of the ninth level of hell.”
“It’s too good for him.” Inuyasha scoffed. Sango nodded agreement. “Kikyo and Naraku are reaching new levels of low now.” Miroku continued showing the photos. Naraku was holding out a thick wad of bills to the rapist. “ this was obviously taken before Inuyasha decided to sharpen his claws on him.” Miroku told them needlessly.
Kagome started to get scared looking at that face again. Inuyasha reached over and grabbed her hand.
“Damn I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to kill Kikyo more.” Sango growled. “Hold on love,” Miroku told her, “there’s more.” he reached in his pocket and brought out a little tape recorder. “I put this in the janitors closet on Friday.” he pushed a little button on the side and suddenly Kikyo’s voice came out real clear as if she was standing there with them.
“Now what?” she asked. “I have a friend of mine who can get rid of her pretty fast.” Naraku answered. “Good I’m tired of that copy thinking she can take him. I will be the one to marry him and get all his money.” “Of course you will.” Naraku said.
Miroku turned off the tape. “Trust me you don’t want to hear the rest.”
“She’s after my fortune!” Inuyasha cried. “Yeah Inu,” Sango said, “and it looks like she is willing to do anything to get it.”
“Damn it stop calling me Inu! I hate that!” he fumed. “We have more important things to worry about.” Miroku told them. “The cops will have to believe us now wont they?” Kagome asked.
“Afraid not.” Miroku said sadly, “All they’ll do is an investigation making it harder to keep Kagome safe from him. And we don’t have enough evidence.”
“Damn!” Inuyasha and Sango said at the same time bringing their fists down on the table. It might have handled Sango’s punch but Inuyasha was another story. It cracked down the middle and fell apart. After and hour of apologies and Inuyasha (being the richest and because it was his fault) had paid for it they left.
“So much for shopping to make you feel better.” Sango complained. “I’ll be fine.” Kagome assured her.
“Hey I got an idea. Lets go skating.” Miroku said. After a mutual agreement they went to the skating ring grabbed some roller blades and took off into the floor.
Kagome’s legs were still sore from last night so Inuyasha had to hold her up. Sango was doing all kinds of tricks in the center and Miroku was falling on the out edges but Inuyasha and Kagome were happy in their own world.
That night when Kagome returned home she fed her mom some story about spending the night at Sango’s and apologized for not calling. Up in her room she called Inuyasha and 4-wayed with Miroku and Sango.
“Okay I just lied to mom. I’ve never had to do that before.” Kagome complained.
“Kagome we need to talk about something more serious. How are we going to bring Kikyo and Naraku down.” Miroku said.
“Miro is right Kags.” Sango agreed, “This is becoming critical. We have to make sure they don’t hurt you again. So first Inuyasha, Kagome you two need to delete any calls you two make or have made to each other in case Kikyo decides to rummage through your past calls.”
“Okay.” “Got it.” They both said. “Keep contact to a bare minimum.” Miroku said carrying on the instructions, “Don’t come near each other unless you have to. But Inuyasha don’t desert her. Keep her in you sites at all times. I’ll risk this for Kagome’s safety”
Sango and Miroku gave them instructions well into the night telling them everything they could and could not do.
Those two hung up first giving them their privacy. “So I guess this might be our last phone call for a while.” Kagome said awkwardly.
“Yeah. But hey at least you’ll be safe.” “I don’t want you to leave me.” Kagome confessed crying.
“Love I wont be leaving you. I’ll always be right there. We just wont be able to talk anymore.” Inuyasha tried to cheer her up but he himself was feeling awful. They sat silently finding small comfort knowing the other was right there.
“I have to go.” Kagome was the one to break the silence.
“I’ll see you tomorrow. During chem. I can’t pick you up anymore.” Kagome nodded.
“Bye.”
“Bye.”
As Kagome pushed the ‘end’ button she felt cut off from him. Like he was leaving her for America again.
She cried herself to sleep.
