The Boy Next Door

 

 

Kagome was lying in her big safe warm bed the next morning. Her alarm had gone off, but she just couldn't face the day. Actually, it wasn't the day she was having a hard time facing it was people. Even though Sebastian had not physically done anything to her she still felt violated in some way.

 

She still felt as if she didn't fight hard enough.

 

Staring wide-eyed and non-blinking at her wall she daydreamed about how she should have handled him. In her mind she was a vigilante strong fighter that punched Sebastian in the face. In her mind she had him begging her mercy and he was in fear of her. In her mind she had him chained to that fucking bed while she took photos to later put up on the Internet. Yes, in her mind she wasn't the weak girl that had to result to tricks.

 

She tossed to her other side to stare at the other wall. Maybe, she had always seemed like a victim to people. Perhaps, that was why everyone had found it so easy to treat her like crap. Then again maybe there are no more good people in the world. Perhaps everyone had cold dark hearts and got off on destroying anything good or nice.

 

“Kagome, didn't you hear your alarm. Sesshomaru will be here soon and you're not even dressed yet dear.” Her mother chimed through the door.

 

When she received no answer from her daughter she walked into her room. Kagome still had not acknowledged that her mother was even there. It was when she placed her hand on Kagome's head and she jerked away screaming that her knew something was wrong with her daughter.

 

“Kagome?” she asked hesitantly staring into frightened eyes.

 

“I should have fought harder. I didn't try hard enough.” Kagome mumbled to her mother.

 

“Who, should you fought. I don't understand.” Her mother said worriedly.

 

It was then that she told her mother what had happened. It was also then that Sesshomaru arrived at the house to check on her. He stood in the doorway listening as Kagome retold the story to her mother. He still felt guilty for not going with her even if she had told him not to go. He still felt as if he should have known the guy was a psycho.

 

“Sesshomaru, dear I need to take Kagome to police station. If you want to come along for support I am sure that it will make Kagome feel better.” Her mother said in comfort to both.

 

After they left the police station her mother had taken them to get something to eat. She watched how protective Sesshomaru was being and how silent Kagome had fallen. It was heart breaking and terrifying. She didn't know what she would have done if he had raped or killed Kagome. It is a nightmare that she was sure that every mother feared.

 

When they all finally arrived back at the house Kagome's mother had gone to speak with her father. Kagome had only wanted to go over to Sesshomaru's house. They where lying on his bed with Kagome lying across his chest while he was running his fingers through her hair.

 

“I should have been able to stop him.” She whispered aloud.

 

“Hn, is that what you have been thinking about all day. What you should or could have done. Unless you have some means of traveling to the past that I am not aware I think it best not to dwell on it. Besides, it was me that should have been there to prevent this.”

 

She gazed up into his eyes as his arm tightened around her. “I told you not to come.”

 

“It doesn't matter I had a bad feeling and I should have followed it.” He said

 

The clearing of a throat had them both look over to the doorway to see Sesshomaru's father standing there. “Kagome, your mother just called and said that you should come home.”

 

“Did she say what was wrong?” Kagome asked rising into a sitting position.

 

“It seems that he was able to elude the police. They have put an officer outside keeping watch over your house.” His father said looking over to his son and knowing where he would want to be. “Go ahead Sesshomaru. It's not like I can stop you or would even want to.”

 

Sesshomaru and Kagome walked hand in hand to her house. Her father had instantly grabbing her up in his arms in crushing hug. Since he had not seen her since learning of what had happened. When he finally released she could still see the tears in his eyes.

 

“I'm fine dad really. Don't worry about me.” She said giving him a weak smile.

 

“I'll always about you. Just like you will always be my little girl.” He said looking over to Sesshomaru who looked a little uneasy. “You can stay on the couch. The more people in the house the more eyes to look out for this guy.”

 

It was still night outside as Kagome found herself walking down the darkened hallway trying to be as silent as could be. She just wanted to be next to Sesshomaru so she could feel safe. Tiptoeing down the stairs so not to wake the others she was relieved when they made no noise.

 

She smiled looking down at Sesshomaru's peaceful expression. She almost giggled as she took a seat next to him on the couch and brushed his bangs from his face. She tilted her head when he didn't stir and started to shake him to get him to wake. Her heart in her throat as she ripped the blanket off him in a finally attempt. Her eyes widening as she looked at the blood pooling from a wound to his stomach.

 

She jumped to her feet screaming his name. As someone grabbed her and started to shake her. Her flew open to see everyone in her room including a rather frantic looking Sesshomaru. Her nerves were almost completely shot by this time.

 

“I saw you. You were on the couch and there was blood everywhere.” She half shouted hysterically as Sesshomaru came to the side of the bed and held her close to him.

 

“It was just a nightmare.” He said as she nearly crushed his ribs hugging him.

 

She finally calmed down after her family had gone to bed leaving Sesshomaru and Kagome sitting on the bed. Her heart and mind where finally starting to go back to normal. It was maybe a half a hour later that both found the sleep that they needed wrapped in each other's arms.

 

It was early morning when the sound of knocking woke Kagome and Sesshomaru. She heard the quick footsteps of one of her family members getting the door. The sound of voices had her curious as she grabbed her robe. Sesshomaru seemed to have the same idea as they exited the room and walked down the stairs.

 

“Good morning miss. I thought that you might want to know that we found him.” A detective stated moving a little closer to her.

 

“So then he is in jail right?” She questioned and received a strange look from him.

 

“No….no he is dead.” He said getting shocked looks from all of them

 

“When…How?” She sputtered trying to figure out what she wanted to ask.

 

“I was hoping that your boyfriend over there might be able to me with that.”

 

“You can't be serious. You can't think Sesshomaru did something to him.” She gasped.

 

“Well I know that if someone took my girlfriend and had revealing pictures of her scattered around his shack I might be inclined to some violence. So what do you say that we go and a little chat?” The detective asked receiving a quirked brow from Sesshomaru, but nothing else.

 

“Sesshomaru, I will make sure to tell your father.” Kagome said as she ran over and hugged him before they took him away from her.

 

Sesshomaru didn't say anything, but gave her a little smile knowing that she would be okay.
