InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Snow White and the Seven 'Dwarfs'...Sort of ❯ Helping Kagome ( Chapter 9 )

AN: Hey, I'm very sad to say this is probably the last chapter I'm going to post this month. Maybe if I'm really lucky I can fit another chapter in before I leave, or find somewhere where I can write but I don't see that happening anytime soon. I am so sorry, but I promise as soon as I can I'll start writing again. And don't worry I didn't give this fic up, I'll write another chapter as soon as I can.

Anyway here are the results for the Kouga pairing

Ayame- 4

Kagura-0

Since it looks like Ayame's going to win I have to figure a way for Kouga to fall in love with her. Great. I had a really good one for Kagura, but nooo all the reviewers had to be cruel and make it an Aya/Kou paring. Thanks a lot. it wouldn't kill you guys to review! I've had 473 people visit my story (YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and only four of those people have reviewed. (5 of the reviews were from the same person, thanks InuyashaLoveLorn!)

Anyway here's the newest chapter, hope you like it and REVIEW after. Enjoy

 

Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha, but I'm going to go on e-bay later and see if I can buy Kouga's sword. What? It's not like he uses it or anything.

***Second Floor***

I watched in a horrified fascination as Naraku raced down the stairs after the girl.

“I'LL GET YOU BITCH!”

`Shit he's going to get the girl before we can get her!'

I started toward him with a growl but Kagura appeared out of nowhere, pushing Sess and me out of the way.

“Move it, you stupid bakas!” I raised my eyebrows, for someone who wasn't a dog demon she had a pretty good snarl.

She stopped in front of Naraku blocking his way. She bowed,

“I am sorry for disturbing you, Lord Naraku, but Queen Kikyo as come home early.”

He looked happy, and then scared, then a mix of both. He got his emotions under control, and bowing his head to her, “Thank you for informing me Lady Kagura.” And walked away. She fell back against the wall, closed her eyes, and sighed in relief. She opened her eyes and looked at us, one eyebrow raised,

“Did you boys need anything or are you just going to stand there?”

We just looked at her, still in shock. She rolled her eyes at us and stood up from the wall.

“If I was you, I'd get out of here before Naraku finds out Kikyo isn't here.”

“But what about the girl?”

“What girl?”

“Don't play dumb Lady Kagura, what happened to the girl he was chasing?”

“Oh her?” she shrugged, “You don't have to worry about her.”

“SHE'S NOT HERE YET!” Naraku roared up from Kikyo's room.

Suddenly a blood-curling scream was heard from inside the wall and Kagura's face paled.

“You know on the other hand, she could use a hand.” She opened the hidden passage way and I heard her mutter, “But she's going to hate me for this later.” She stepped out of the way and we rushed inside until we came to a huge hole in the floor.

“I can't believe she was stupid enough to step on one of the cracks.” I heard Kagura mutter from behind me. I spun around to face her as Sesshourmaru and Miroku did the same.

“You talk of her as if you know her, who is she?” Sess asked her. She shrugged,

“You want to know so bad go down and ask her.” She gestured to the hole in the floor.

“I would go but my feather can't go through.” I looked at her,

“Who said anything about playing hero? Maybe I don't wanna go down there.” Sesshourmaru looked at me, shook his head and jumped through, talking Miroku with him.

“See? She'll survive without me. She's got Sess and Miroku now.”

“Who said anything about you having a choice?” she asked softly as she took her fan out and pushed me down the hole with her wind power.

 

 

***In the lake***

 

I couldn't move, I couldn't hear, I couldn't speak, I couldn't breathe. All I could do was feel the water around me, filling my ears, and trying to force itself inside me, to tear me apart. I stopped thinking, enjoying the peaceful feeling that just floating there under the water brought me.

`Maybe I should just let go and die. Would death really be that bad?' I was about to left the water rush into me when I thought,

`Wait a minute, I can't die yet. I have too much still to do. Kill Kikyo, save my country, and find Rin and Kaede. And if I die now Kikyo would have broken me. She would have seen something that would have made her happy behind belief.

My death.

And I will not make Kikyo happy! If my death makes her happy then I should do all I can to avoid it! Kami I'm such a moron sometimes.'

I forced my eyes open under water to see which way the top was. I struggled to get to the surface of the lake, my lungs burning even more with every kick of my legs. The light at the top was getting brighter and brighter.

`I'm almost there. I'm going to make it!

I broke through the surface with open last hard kick with my legs and gasped greedily for air. Sweet clean air. I swam over to the first spot of land I saw, crawling up and sitting there on my knees, head down, coughing and getting air back in my lungs. I quickly looked around. I fell in the underground lake.

`Guess Kami doesn't want me to die has much I thought if He made sure I landed in water instead of hard rock'

I heard feet pound toward me, but they stopped when I help a hand up, telling them to back of.

“Ma'am, are you alright?” Sesshourmaru asked. I nodded, my head still down, still slightly coughing.

“Why have you been looking for me?” I asked behind a curtain of my hair.

“Feh wench, afraid to show your face?” he asked, daunting me. I gripped my fists together, but kept me head down.

“I'm still trying to breath baka!” I snapped at him. “Answer my question. Why would a bunch of demon lords and a monk want with a poor servant like me?”

“Because you smell like someone we use to know. Now who are you wench?” Inuyasha snapped at me.

“Why should I tell you anything? I don't have any reason to trust you.”

He growled at me, “Because I say you can, now who are you wench?”

“Please.” Miroku added, “We only want to help you.”

“And what do you want in return?”

“Why would we want anything from you? As you said, you're only a servant while we are lords and kings. What could we want from you?” Sesshourmaru said in an icy voice. I bite my tongue, trying really hard not to call him a stupid, arrogant, baka; ape he was to his face.

“Just tell them already!” Kagura's voice rang out from the hole above us.

“Shut up Kagura! I told you not to tell them.”

“And I didn't tell them! I merely told them where you where so you could tell them who you are yourself.”

“I didn't want to tell them who I am!”

“Well to bad, I'm not giving you a choice now.”

“We are having a huge talk on why it's a bad idea to tell people who could get me killed where I am when I get up there Kagura! And why aren't you done here?”

“As long as Kikyo doesn't find out you won't die, and my father couldn't fit through the hole.”

“You can shirk your feather idiot! It doesn't have to stay one size!”

“Well I didn't feel like shirking it!”

“I'm glad to know I'm such a friend to you, you can't even try to get down here when my life was in danger!”

“Oh come on! You know it wasn't like that! You need help, I just send it for you because you're to stubborn to do it yourself!”

“Fine I'll tell them! Kami you're annoying!”

“You know I never saw anyone fight with anyone else and never lift their head to even look at them.” I heard Miroku mutter.

“I heard that monk! Fine I'll tell you if you promise me not to tell anyone or do anything about it.”

They hesitated. “Fine.” Sesshourmaru said

“What about the other two of you?”

I heard Miroku sigh then agree while Inuyasha just said “Feh” which I took as a yes. I took a deep breath and muttered to myself,

“Why do I have a feeling I'm going to regret this later?” I stood up and swung my hair out of my face starting to squeeze the water out of it and turned to face them.

“Yo. Long time no see guys.” I said causally as I watched their mouths drop open.

“It can't be” Sesshourmaru muttered.

“I have to be dreaming.” Miroku said

“What?” Inuyasha asked looking confused.

“Oh come on Inuyasha, don't tell me you don't remember who I am.” I pouted and moved on to another stand of hair to squeeze the water out of. I sighed as he just looked at me.

“I guess I can't blame you to much, it has been four years. But your ears are still as cute as ever.”

He stuttered, “Kagome?”

Sesshourmaru sighed. “Now the moron gets it.”

“But, but you can't be a servant, you're royalty!”

I shrugged and started to get the water out of my shirt.

“What can I say? Kikyo hated me this much.”

“I suppose she gave you the bruise on your cheek and the cut?”

“Uh-huh. It's fun annoying her so she hits me a lot.”

Inuyasha growled, “That fucking bitch dared to strike you?” He moved to start climbing the wall but I stopped him

“Hey, you promised me you wouldn't do anything when you found out.” I warned.

“If you try to hurt Kikyo, I'm as good as dead.” I sighed as I noticed my ankle start to hurt. “Are one of you going to bring me up or am I going to have to climb? I think I twisted me ankle on the way down here.”

Miroku rushed immediately to my side.

“Of course princess, I'll be happy to help you get up, now if you would just-“ he stopped talking when he felt Inuyasha's fist hit his head.

“I got her monk.”

He picked me up bridal and jumped up to the hole where Kagura was waiting. I moved to get out of his grasp

“Thanks, now put me down I have to finish my chores.”

“Feh, not likely wench, you almost drowned and you're hurt. You're not cleaning anything yet.”

“First my name isn't wench its Kagome, and I have to finish them, you think one of Kikyo's servants aren't going to notice if my chores aren't done?”

His arms tighten around me.

“Too bad, you can do them later after I make sure you're ok.”

“I'm fine now!”

“Are not! Have you even had that cut checked yet? It could get infected and why does your throat looks so red?”

I sighed, knowing it was hopeless.

`Fine, just make sure no one sees you. Kikyo will kill me if she finds out I'm with you.”

“Feh.”

He kicked the door open and used his demon speed to get to his room.

“Satisfied?”

I swallowed. WE had gotten here really fast. “Yeah, sure. Why not?”

He walked in and laid me down on his bed carefully. He looked me over, checking for injuries as he carefully sat on the sit of his bed. He sniffed and narrowed his eyes.

“What hurts?”

I blinked `How had he known I was in pain?'

As if reading my mind he tapped his nose

“I'm a dog demon remember? I can smell any changes in your scent. And right now you're in pain. Where?”

I sighed, then blushed, knowing that my boobs were hurting like crazy because they were so burned and the binding only made it worse.

“Um, my cut hurts a little and my ankle is throbbing.”

He raised as eyebrows, as if knowing they weren't the only places but got up and said,

“Fine, wait here and I'll get some ice.” He walked out the door and I started to move off the bed. There was a secret passage in the room next to Inuyasha's that led close to the top floor. I could get out and be finishing my chores before Kikyo could even get home.

I got off the bed, and was walking to the door, when the door opened, and a red blur came in, picked me up and put me back on the bed. Inuyasha crossed his arms and scowled down at me.

“I said wait here. Did I say get up, get out, and go into any of your damn secret passages? No what I said was to stay here and rest. Don't get up again or I'll find you, even if I have to tear a couple of walls out, bring you back, and tie you to the bed. Got it? Now stay.” And he ran back out the door. I stared after him. `How did he know where I was going?' I propped up a couple of pillows and decided to enjoy lying in a real bed as long as I could. Kami only knows when I'll get to really relax on a feather bed with silk sheets and pillows. And I knew Inuyasha was serious about tying me to the bed. So I settled back and waited for Inuyasha to show up again. I didn't have to wait long. Inuyasha came back in with a huge bucket of ice, some kind of oils, and some bread and fruit tucked under his arm. He tossed the food at me. “Mayu says to get better quick and not to push it.”

I gasped sitting up,

“You told her?” He rolled his eyes

“Feh, I tried not to, but the old bat remembers me from last time I was here. When I asked for ice she knew immediately it was for you without me even telling her. She demanded to know what had happened to you and wouldn't let me go until I did.”

He wrapped some ice in a clean cloth and put it on my ankle. He held it there with his foot as he opened some of the oils he brought. “Lean forward,” I moved up and he cupped my cheek with one hand and with the other spread the cream across my cut.

“Mayu said that would help heal it faster and prevent infection.” I blushed as his finger went back and forth over the cream, making sure it was smooth and on evenly. When he finished, he held on to my cheek a little longer then needed and I blushed harder. He regretfully dropped his hand and moved it to hold the ice in place on my ankle. He sniffed and then glared at me.

“You're still in pain Kagome.”

I stared at him in amazement,

“You said my name.”

“What?”

“Kagome, you said Kagome instead of wench or something else.”

“Feh, that's no big deal.”

“Yes it is, it's the first time ever you've called me that.”

His cheeks slightly turned pink, but he stared into my eyes. I gulped and reached for the cream he'd left open and screwed the top back on it.

“I didn't want it to spill.” I explained when his eyes lit up with light humor. I wasn't looking when I tried to put the bottle on the table beside the bed and hit my finger against the side. Inuyasha rolled his eyes at me and picked my hand up

“Can't you ever by careful? You could have cut yourself again.” He said, slightly frowning at all the cuts and bruises that had been on my hand before. I started to say some smart remark back when he took my injured finger, kissed it, and placed it in his mouth.

`Oh Kami.'

All thought escaped me as Inuyasha sat there, nursing my finger in his mouth. He sent me a wicked smile and twirled his tongue around the part I had hit.

“Feel better?” he asked around my finger.

I nodded, speechless.

“Yeah, it's feels, better. Um, thanks.” I stuttered. He grinned again, taking my finger out of his mouth, but not letting it go.

“You're welcome.” The grin faded as he looked at me again.

“Kagome, I know we've just met again after four years but, I feel like I've been waiting for you all my life.”

I swallowed again. That being one of the oldest pickup lines Inuyasha made it sound like he had just come up with it.

We started to lean towards each other, and our lips were so close to touching-

“Hey guys!”

Miroku came in with Kagura and Sesshourmaru behind him, well Inuyasha cursed and pulled away, still keeping a hand on the ice on my ankle and I blushed as I looked away guiltily. I saw Miroku look at us, and figuring out what had almost happened grinned at Inuyasha and mouthed, `Good job' while Inuyasha snarled at him. Kagura caught my eye and mouthed, `You are telling me everything later.' I nodded, feeling my cheeks light up again. Sesshourmaru sighed and pulled a chair over close to the bed.

“If you four have stopped acting like children, can we get done to the important things?” He waited as Miroku and Kagura grabbed chairs and brought them over to. Miroku grinned slyly at Inuyasha.

“Aren't you going to move Inuyasha?”

He growled at him, “One more word monk.”

“Princess Kagome, -“

“Don't call me princess, I haven't been a real for awhile now.” I told Sesshourmaru,

“Then what do you want to called?”

“Just Kagome, that's what everyone else does. Expect for Kikyo she only calls me Kagome when she's planning me to be in pain later. Rest of the time she tries to come up with insults instead of my name.”

“Fine then. What-“

“What happened to you after we left?” Inuyasha interrupted his brother. Sesshourmaru narrowed his eyes at him.

“I was about to ask the same question Inuyasha.”

“Yeah well, it would have taken you forever to get to your point. What happened? I want to now everything Kagome.” He demanded turning back to me.

“From when to where?”

“When the day this happened, to right now.”

I sighed and started to tell them what had happened. From when Kagura had left and Kikyo told me I was about to be a servant. I told them about a couple of my first days as one. I told them about what Kagura did so she could still come here and be with me. To where the morning before they had come, how Kikyo had threatened to kill me if I stepped anywhere near the guests coming.

“So that's why you ran from us?” Miroku asked. I sent him a look

“No Miroku, I ran because it's great exercise to run from some demons and a monk who only want to help you. Of course that was why!”

I told them about how I had seen them in the courtyard,

“Ha! I knew someone was there!” Inuyasha said.

“You saw me?”

“Actually I saw your hair but that's it.”

I told them about how I had run from them, ending up in the lake. Then how the next morning I had met Miroku on the gardens, slapping him and running away when he had groped me. Then how I had gone to Inuyasha's room, only to get tossed around by hat little piece of paper. Then finally how Kikyo commanded me to clean the top floor, how I had meet Naraku, run from him into the secret passage, where I had stepped on a crack, fallen into the lake, argued with everybody about who I was for a while, then finally ending up here with them, telling them everything that happened in the last four years. Everyone just stared at me in shock at what I had gone through when Sesshourmaru cleared his throat and asked carefully,

“Kagome what do you know about your parents.”

“My father was king and my mother was a priestess queen who died when I was about four or five. Why?”

He hesitated then sighed, “I can't talk now, it's to dangerous I promise I'll tell you when I can.”

I studied him, even through I knew I would never be able to tell if he was lying or not.

“Fine, can I go now? I still have chores to do.”

Inuyasha growled at me,

“You're still in pain, I can smell it. You're not going anywhere until I'm sure you're fine.”

I looked at Sesshourmaru for help. He shrugged,

“He's right, you still smell of pain. And once Inuyasha sets his mind to something he never forgets about it until he does it.”

I looked at Kagura for her to do something. She rolled her eyes, took her closed fan out, and it hit sharply on his pressure point on his neck to knock him out.

“Happy?”

“Very, not help me get back up the stairs. I still have cleaning to do.”

She grinned, helped me off the bed, and unto her feather where we floated on upstairs. The guys were to shocked to stop us. You know, I can't decide what I like better, shocking people or insulting Kikyo. I stepped of her feather when we reached the floor.

“Thanks Kagura.” I took out a rag and started getting dust of some statues and tables. That was really the only thing I had to do, so Kagura and me walked back down stairs, with only minor limping from me. Kagura went back to her room, and I wandered down to the kitchen to get some food. Mayu had some bread and rice laid out for me, so I grabbed it and decided to go to the library and pick a book out before Kikyo got home. She doesn't read any of them, but she'll punish me if she finds my reading anything. I when to my room, closed the door, and sat down to read and eat. I wasn't sure of the title but it was one of those books were the worlds in danger and there's only one person that can save the world blah blah blah. And of course the hero/heroine always finds someone to fall in love with at the end, they kill the evil and live happily ever after. I love these types of stories. Kaede always made sure to buy stories like that for me when she went into a village. I was about half way in the story when something fell out. It was a letter,

With my name written on the front of it.

***Kikyo's room. ***

Kikyo walked into her room, wanting nothing more then a nice bath to get the smell of sex and sperm of her. She took her clothes off and slipped into the hot springs. She let a bolt of blue energy escape her fingers and called out, “Kanna.”

The tiny white girl stepped out of the wall.

“What is it you wish my lady?”

“Tell me how to seduce Lord Inuyasha.”

AN: my last chapter for the month. So sad. Sorry if there are any spelling mistakes, I don't have time to check it. Thank you so much for sticking with me this far and I'll see in you in a month. Bye.
