The Boy Next Door

 

 

After they had taken him away from her Kagome ran to tell his father what had happened. His father had instantly went to get their attorney. Kagome had spent most of the day waiting on her front step for Sesshomaru to return. Friends and family had been coming to visit her, but they manly wanted to get the scoop on what was going on. Strangely Inuyasha had been one of the first to show up and try to comfort.

 

Sango and Hiten had to leave for family function at Sango's house, but made her promise to call when she knew anything. Her mother thought that it might be a good idea if she got out of the house to get her mind of what was going on and what had happened. Of course Inuyasha had volunteered to take her out to a late lunch or early dinner. She had reluctantly agreed to make her mother happy.

 

She watched out the car window as the scenery passed them by. She hadn't asked where he was taking to her to. She had just figured that he had a particular place in his mind. When he pulled over on the side of the road in the middle of no where she started to get a little worried. She turned to him and noticed that his eyes were still on the road, but he seemed to have a blank expression.

 

“What are we doing?” Kagome asked looking to Inuyasha.

 

“Sitting for a moment.” He said blankly looking out the window.

 

“Um, okay Why.” She asked trying to judge his actions, but not having any luck.

 

“Remember when we were dating and I promised to protect you.” He asked

 

“You are starting to scare me.” She said sounding frazzled.

 

“Really because you use to feel safe with me.” He replied raising a brow and finally looking at her to see the fear in her eyes.

 

“What are talking about?” She asked trying to scoot away from him.

 

“It was me.” He said as he grabbed her arm to stop her retreat.

 

“What?” she asked confused on what he was referring to.

 

“I killed him. I have been following you to make sure that you were safe. I have been with you for all you have been through well except for that stunt that Sango and Hiten pulled. I knew that he was no good for you. I was there at the park that day. I watched him hit you, put you in his car and then I followed him back to that place. I listened at the door ready to bust it down, but boy did you surprise me with that act you pulled. Bravo, Kagome.” He snickered looking at the horror-stricken girl with a strange look in his eyes.

 

“What now?” She asked in a whisper.

 

“Oh, this” He replied pulling a gun from under his seat and raising it. He watched as her eyes closed and the tears fell down her cheek before he whispered. “I love you Kagome.” A shattering bang broke through the tranquil setting.

 

Elsewhere Sesshomaru had just been allowed to return home after answering every question that they threw at him. The detectives had told him that they had a witness that placed him near the crime, but the time line didn't pan out. Sesshomaru had been with Kagome at the time of the murder. A silver hair had been lifted from the body and Sesshomaru had agreed to give a hair sample to prove his innocence.

 

When he did finally arrive home he learned that Kagome had gone to lunch with his brother at her mother's request. A little disgruntled by the whole day he thought that maybe it wasn't a bad thing that she wasn't her. It would give him time to calm down. He took a seat on the same step that Kagome had been waiting for him earlier. His head was resting on his hand as he stared down the road awaiting their return. It was a few minutes later that he felt his phone vibrate.

 

“Hello.” He answered not looking to see who it was.

 

“Sesshomaru?” A strangled sounding voice came over the line.

 

“Kagome, where are you two?” He asked looking to see if maybe they were coming up the road, but didn't see his brother's car anywhere.

 

“…”

 

“Kagome, Hello?” He asked worried that maybe there had been an accident.

 

“I don't know.” She answered sounding bewildered.

 

“What do you mean you don't know?”

 

“Sess, I…” The sound of ambulance muffled her words and then the line went dead.

 

“Kagome! Kagome!” He screamed into his phone. He had got off the step to go see if his father had heard anything about the two of them. It was then that his father darted out of the front door. He had a grave look on his face as he looked over to Sesshomaru.

 

“Are you coming?” His father asked ducking into his car. Sesshomaru was in the car faster than a heart beat.

 

“What's going on?” Sesshomaru asked as his father raced down the streets to the hospital.

 

“I don't know. I just know that Inuyasha and Kagome are headed to the hospital.” He finished as he whipped into the parking garage.

 

Entering the hospital they found Kagome talking to police covered in what looked like blood. Her face was pale and her hands were shaking as she spoke to the officers. Kagome didn't see them as she suddenly dashed into the women's restroom. It was then that the officers turned to them and told them that Inuyasha had confessed to killing Sebastian before he took his own life.

 

Neither knew what to say as they realized that it had been Inuyasha's blood covering Kagome. That was when Sesshomaru understood why the witness had thought that he had been the one that had killed Sebastian.

 

Kagome had just puked for what seemed the hundredth time since she had seen the aftermath of the gunshot to Inuyasha's face. Her eyes moved to look into the mirror and found that her face didn't hold that glow that it once had. She looked older and worn like she had lived life longer than she actually had. She splashed her face one more time before she exited the bathroom.

 

She found her boyfriend leaning against the wall when she opened the door. The sound of a sobbing Izayoi drifted through the hallway reaching her ears. Kagome walked over and leaned her head on Sesshomaru's chest listening to his strong heartbeat. His arm slid around her waist as neither felt the need to talk.
