Sins of Her Future
Chapter 3 I Won't Tell...
Rating : R (suggestions of rape)
Author : Sami-chan (AKA Belldandy-chan ^.~)
Author's notes : Ohiyo again minna-san! Well here's chapter 3! I hope you are all enjoying the story so far! I've had so many great reviews on this story that I've decided to continue writing new chapters for it ^^ Don't worry. I'll still be posting chapters for all my old stories too. I'll try to post a new chapter for all my stories at the same time ok ^^?
Anywho! This chapter is Rated PG-13 for some violence and suggestions of rape. Please note that they are only *suggestions* I didn't write it out and for those of you who are worried let me just say no, Kirara saves Kagome before he gets too far. Just so you don't worry kk?
Also I had a reviewer ask what it was that Shippou smelled on Kagome that tainted her original scent. When a youkai mates, be it with a human or another youkai, they leave their scent on that person (This at least applies to my little world). This also applies to humans. The 'taint' in Kagome's scent was all the men she's been *cough*used*cough* by in her 'work' if you can call it that. Kind of a forced prostitution thing.. Yeah I know.. not pretty but that's what made her boss such a villain.
Sorry if that upsets anyone. I don't mean to offend or anything but it’s got a point that will be made in later chapters.
Anywho! Now that I've babbled for a while, I'll let you all get on with the story ^^ I hope you all enjoy and please R/R if you have the time!
Ja ne!

Please also be warned that this story deals with rape. There will be *no* detailed rape scenes but there will be suggestions of it. Please, if this offends you in anyway please do not read my story.
Thank you.

Kagome hummed happily as she washed that morning's dishes. It had been almost two weeks since she had come to find herself living with Inu yasha in the modern age, something she would never have dreamed of, and life felt as if it couldn't get any better. It was as if any part of her life between the well sealing and the day Inu yasha had found her had evaporated into a bad dream and she was happy once more.
Drying her hands on a dishtowel, Kagome took one last look around the kitchen to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything before heading up stairs to change.
Inu yasha had left that morning on a business trip to the states and would be gone for at least a week. Apparently, he made a small fortune as a Japanese antiques dealer. He had a reputation for his knowledge on the subject, especially when it came to relics from the warring states period, that was currently unmatched.
'Of course being born *in* the warring states would give one a defiant advantage.' She laughed as she shook her head and continued into her room. Kagome opened her closet and happily rummaged through her wardrobe.
With Inu yasha gone for the week, it was the perfect opportunity for Shippou and herself to spend some quality time together. She was more then looking forward to getting reacquainted with her long lost son.
Kagome settled on a lovely light blue sundress that would be just right for the overly warm summer weather. She slid it on over he head and gazed at her reflection in the full-length mirror on the back of her door.
She turned to the bed. "What do you think Kirara?" she asked the small neko youkai who had made its self a warm nest out of her rumpled blankets. "Will this do?"
Kirara let out an approving mew to her new master and flashed her best kitty smile.
Kagome laughed and scratched behind the small youkai's ears, producing a gentle purr that filled the room. Still laughing happily, Kagome ventured into the bathroom to finish getting ready.
She had just finished tying her hair back into a low ponytail when she heard the doorbell ring. Remembering that she had had Inu yasha give the servants the week off, she quickly finished tying the ribbon into a fashionable bow before heading down stairs.
She throw the door open wide, a smile lighting up her face as she prepared to greet Shippou with open arms. She paled suddenly and her face fell as her eyes came to rest on the dark man standing in her door way.
The man was tall and very thin though was most defiantly not weak. Even the baggy leather jacket that nearly brushed the floor as he walk did not hide his muscular build. Dark black hair fell into his face almost hiding the two sinister hazel eyes that stared straight through the now petrified woman before him and brought a devilish smirk to his blood red lips.
Liquor was thick on his breath as he spoke. "What? Not happy to see me?"
Kagome choked a bit on the scream that threatened to tear from her throat. She stepped back, attempting to put as much distance between herself and the drunken man as she could.
"What?" His lips dropped in a fake pout, "Don't tell me your forgot your dear 'lover' Aku?" He shook his finger as he matched the frighten miko step for step. "Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
Kagome's eyes darted left and right, her mind telling her to flee or scream but her body doing nothing. She continued back until she tripped, landing in an ungraceful pile on the staircase. She swallowed hard, old fears bubbling to the surface. "What do you want?" she asked, her voice shaking.
"What do I want?" Aku stopped just in front of the terrified woman, a hand coming up to scratch his chin in mock thought. "What do I want..?" he asked again, turning around and stepping back. "Oh I know." He was suddenly in her face, his voice loud and booming in the elegant stair well, "I *WANT* TO KNOW WHY *MY BITCH* ISN'T AT WORK EARNING MY MONEY!!"
Kagome let out a scream, her arms coming up to cover her face. Her eyes closed tightly, bracing for whatever came next.
Aku only laughed.
Kagome's arms slowly came down, her gaze turning back to the man before her.
He seemed to smile sweetly at her for a moment but the malicious glint in his eyes ruined the affect. His hand reached out and gently caressed Kagome's cheek causing an unhealthy shudder to sweep down her spine. "I'll tell you what.."
Kagome bit her lip.
"The guys at the club told me some asshole stole you off the stage and forced you out of the club with him." Aku took hold of her chin, forcing the girl to stare directly into his cold eyes. "Tell me who and where he is and I'll happily over look this."
Kagome clinched her fist at her side and for the first time in a long time a ping of courage sounded in her heart. "Iie."
Aku blinked. "Excuse me?"
Kagome tried her best to keep her voice level but with her body shaking it was almost impossible. "I said iie. I won't let you hurt him!"
A hand connected with her cheek and she was sent sprawling to the floor at the bottom of the stairs. Tears leaked from her eyes but she didn't cry out. A kick to her ribs sent the air out of her lungs and she gasped hungrily for the oxygen her mind so desperately needed.
"You *BAKA*! You *BITCH*! After all I've done for you," his foot continued to connect with her slowly cracking ribs, "*THIS* is how you repay me?!"
Kagome couldn't hold back the cry that had finally manage to rip its self from her throat and it echoed through the empty house like a ghostly voice in the night. Finally the beating stopped and Kagome assumed it was over. Soon she would be dead.
Then she heard the chattering teeth of a zipper.
@>~~~^~~~~
The door was open a crack when he arrived.
Shippou raised an eyebrow in confusion as he looked at the slightly open door, wondering momentarily what possible reason Kagome had to leave it ajar. Pushing it open slightly, Shippou sniffed the air to locate his okaa-chan.
It didn't take long to locate the missing woman.
His okaa-chan lay in a mangled heap at the bottom of the stairs. A small trail of blood lead from her motionless body towards the door and for the first time Shippou noticed it disappear down the sidewalk and into the grass.
Kirara looked up from her master's chest and growled at the new occupant of the house.
"Kirara," the boy answered shakily to her unspoken question. "It's me, Shippou."
Kirara's body relaxed but she didn't leave Kagome. Instead called to the boy with a pitiful mew.
It took Shippou a moment to shake the shock from his body but once he had regained his senses he dashed to Kagome's motionless body. He rolled the miko on to her back, calling to her as he gently shook her shoulder. "Okaa-chan?! OKAA-CHAN!!?"
A light moan passed through her lips. She was alive.
A bit of Shippou's panic subsided and he allowed himself a small sigh of relief before he allowed other worries to the front of his mind. She was alive but what condition was she in?
The once lovely blue sundress she had carefully chosen that morning was in shambles, cut and torn until there was barely anything left covering her. Her panties were halfway down but the scent of her blood did not linger in the room.
For that much he was at least grateful.
Her pale face was marred with a deep greenish bruise, spreading over one cheek to the base of her eye. Touching it gently, Shippou determined that nothing was broken though a painful moan from the woman told him it defiantly hurt. The whole sight made the poor kitsune feel like a little child again as tears of fear and dread cascaded down his cheeks.
He felt so helpless.
A moment passed where his thoughts ricocheted around in his head, his brain straining to think of what to do. He was suddenly pulled from his thoughts as Kagome's scream ripped through the room.
@>~~~^~~~~
Her eyes snapped open and fell upon the man in front of her. Light filled her vision, blurring the man's image and making it impossible to make out his face. Instinctively, her body curled in on its self, becoming a shield for her softer organs. Her voice echoed through the halls, screaming the name of the only person she could think to call for.
"INU YASHA!!"
@>~~~^~~~~
"Okaa-chan!" Shippou gently reached out and touch the petrified woman's shoulder.
She flinched and cried out again.
"It's me, mama! Shippou!" His hand reached out and touched her shoulder again but this time she didn't pull away. She only pulled her knees tighter into her chest and sobbed whole-heartedly. His rubbed her back gently, feeling her whole body shake under his caress, and he frowned. Forcing the tears back from his eyes, the kit finally realized what needed to be done.
Pulling his cell phone from his pocket, he hit the speed dial button and prayed.
@>~~~^~~~~
They had been in the air a little more then an hour when Inu yasha had gotten Shippou's called. He had immediately instructed the pilot to turn the plane around and head back to Japan. Though a bit confused, the pilot had agreed and they were now starting their finally decent into Tokyo International.
Inu yasha barely waited until the door of the small personal craft was open before jumping down the ground and dashing towards the large limousine parked at the far end of the runway. Damn the question that his speedy exit from the plane would cause. Kagome need him.
Shippou leaned against the back door of the black limousine, a frown etched into his youthful features. The sunglasses perched on the end of his nose hid his red, tear filled eyes from his long time father figure as he approached.
"How is she?" he asked coming to an abrupt stop before the younger youkai.
Shippou shook his head. "I haven't been able to calm her down yet. She just keeps crying and asking for you."
"Who?"
Shippou shrugged. "I have no idea but who ever it was got a good taste of Kirara's fangs before they left. There's a trail of blood leading out the front door and into the yard."
Inu yasha nodded. "Did you clean it up?"
"Do I look that stupid?"
Inu yasha would have laughed had the situation been different. "Good." he replied simply, storing the new information in his mind to be use later. "Where is she now?"
Shippou knocked on the roof of the limousine before opening the door. Inu yasha's eyes immediately found the small quivering woman curled upon the back seat, body shaking violently with deep sobs.
His heart broke for her.
Wasting not another moment, he quickly climbed into the car and knelt down next to the long back seat where Kagome lay. A small whimper escaped his throat as he gently nudged her hand with his cheek.
Kagome sniffled and turned her tear stained face towards the limo's newest occupant. New tears sprang to her eyes as she threw her arms around the hanyou's neck. "Inu yasha!"
Inu yasha climbed carefully onto the back seat of the limousine, pulling the petite young woman into his arms and holding her close. "Shh," he whispered softly as he gently stroked his finger through her hair, "It's ok now Kagome. You're safe."
"I-I told him that-that I," she stuttered into his chest.
"Shh," he whispered again. He pulled the shivering girl tighter against his chest, "Told who what Kagome?"
Kagome sniffed. Her hands clung to the soft fabric of Inu yasha's business suit, now wet with tears and wrinkled from her body's close contact. "I'm sorry." she cried, "I messed up your trip and your suit."
"Forget all that." He rested his chin on top of her head. "I'm more worried about you."
Kagome took a deep breath, finally feeling the panic and fear leave her body. Her eyes closed slowly as she started to relax in the hanyou's warm embrace. "I told him," she yawned, her words trailing off as she started to fall asleep. "I told him that I wouldn't tell Inu yasha.. No matter what.." Her thought cut off as she fell into a peaceful sleep in the arms of the man she adored.
Inu yasha let out a sigh. He wanted to know who and what she didn't tell but the even pattern of her breathing told him that she was asleep and right now rest was more important then revenge.
With a light growl of annoyance, more at himself for not being there to protect Kagome as he had promised then anything else, Inu yasha slumped back into his seat. He glanced over to Shippou who was just now climbing into the car.
Shippou shut the door and climbed into the seat just across from his adopted parents. He tapped on the tinted glass between them and the driver and the car lurched slowly into motion.
A long silence filled the air.
"How is she?"
Shippou shrugged. "From what I can tell it's mostly superficial. A few bruise and nothing more. Do you want to take her to the hospital?"
Inu yasha shook his head. "No. I'll have Sesshomaru take a look at her."
Shippou nodded and pulled out his cell phone. He punched a few buttons on the illuminated keypad before placing the device against his ear. After a few rings, both sets of youkai ears heard a voice answer on the other end.
"Sesshomaru speaking."
"Uncle Sess? Its me, Shippou."
"Ah, my otouto's kit. To what do I owe the pleasure?"
"Its Kagome."
There was a pause. "How can I be of assistance?"
Shippou worried his lower lip, one of the few bad habits he had acquired from the short time he spent with his okaa-chan. "Someone's beaten her up pretty bad. We were wondering if you could take a look at her?"
The lord of the Western land let a small growl slip from his lips. "Bring her to my office downtown right away."
There was a soft click and Shippou closed his cell phone. He nodded to Inu yasha before tapping on the tinted window behind him.
The window lowered, revealing a small, heavyset man in the driver's seat. He smiled, turning his head slightly. "Where to sirs?"
"Sesshomaru-sama's downtown office please. And quickly if you don't mind."
