THE WAR OF BLOODY *LOVE

CHAPTER 10: FROM CRAVING TO YELLING

Silently, Kagome went up to Sango who was silently watching the shorthaired boy hover over the longhaired one. She seemed to be calm now-or at least calm as she could be in this situation.

"Sango," Kagome said. "It will be light soon. I think you should go to sleep."

Sango looked at Kagome as if she was crazy. "Are you nuts," Sango whispered to her. "Go to bed and leave you here by yourself, with them! Don't you see all of those guns?!"

"I know," Kagome said. "But they won't hurt us. I know it."

"I know."

Kagome looked at Sango. "You-you believe me…"

"Yes I do." Kagome smiled. "But if they do kill us, I'll kick your ass for all eternity-heaven or hell." Kagome's smile broadened.

"I think we should help them. That boy is pretty messed up."

"I know, I think I'm going to hurl just looking at those burns."

"Go get some rags from out my bag. And some more hot water, that bucket has gone cold by now."

Sango gave her that look again. "Trust me," Kagome urged. "If they try anything, I'll scream bloody murder." Sango nodded and slowly walked out the room, looking back a couple times just to make sure. It was against her better judgment, but she did trust Kagome. It was those men she didn't trust, and she wasn't going to lose her friend over it.

When Sango was gone, Kagome cautiously walked up to the shorthaired boy. She saw him stiffen as she walked up. She kneeled beside him, and was surprised to see that he already was working on his burned friend. His hands were already holding a swab to clean up his friend and when Kagome looked at him, most of his burns were already cleaned.

"Will your friend be okay?" Kagome asked, barely above a whisper.

"He'll be okay. He just needs…rest…," replied the boy.

"The sun is rising. It will be daylight soon." The man stiffened again, and cursed under his breath as he quickly dropped the swab and began to gather up his friend.

"What," Kagome said. "No, its okay. I know. I'll close the blinds for you." The boy instantly stopped and slowly turned his head to look at her, his eyes never leaving her as she walked to each window in the room and began to securely close the blinds. Soon, the only light in the room was the dim lamps that were lit. Kagome turned back to the boy who was now laying his friend back to the blankets.

"Who are you?" he asked suddenly. It wasn't a question. It was a command. "Who are you?" he asked again, this time looking up to look at her again. Kagome saw his dark violet eyes and Kagome could do nothing but answer.

"K-Kagome. My name is Kagome."

"Well Kagome," he said standing up and facing her completely. "Thank you for your help. But we must be going now." He turned back to his friend, and in one swift movement, he had his hands around his friends shoulder, supporting his weight. They headed for the door to leave. He moved fast for a person with extra weight, but he didn't seem to even mind that he had extra weight on him.

"You'll never make it, you know." Kagome said, watching them leave.

The boy sighed but continued to walk towards the door.

"The sunlight will chew you up and spit you out. How the hell do you think you can walk in broad daylight?" Kagome said.

The boy stopped abruptly stopped, but didn't turn to face her.

"Why would sun light hurt me?"

Kagome chose not to answer that question. Her hands were shaking. She was so scared all of a sudden. What if he snapped and killed her, like what Sango suggested? Would he even do that? But none spoke, as suddenly, the unconscious boy began to stir. He gave a grunt and began to slightly pull away from the boy who he was currently leaned against.

He staggered a little bit, as if he was getting used to the feel of his legs. He pulled away from the boy and stood by himself, his face leaned down like he was looking at his sneakers, his hair fallen over his face. He rubbed a hand over his face and visibly winced. The burns still hurt him. He grunted some more and moved like he was ready to walk off.

He looked up and his hair fell back. He turned in the direction of his friend and spoke.

"Roku?" his voice was raspy.

"I'm right here," the shorthaired boy said.

"I know that! But I can't see."

"Cant see! What the hell you mean you can't see?" the shorthaired boy suddenly snapped.

"Don't get fussy. I'll kick your ass. It happened when…who's that?" his head moved in the direction of Kagome.

"She's the girl that found us in the woods." The now known Roku said. He leaned into the boy and whispered something in his ear. He whispered, "I can't smell her. Can you?" the boy sniffed the air, secretly so he wouldn't draw attention to himself. He leaned back into Roku and said.

"Yeah I smell her. I smelled her when I was being burned. You can't?"

"No," Roku replied. "I could only smell the other girl."

Kagome stood aside as she watched the two converse. What the hell were they talking about? She was only a few feet away, but she could barely hear them. Kagome had enough of them acting as if they were the only two in the room. She loudly cleared her throat. They two boys looked at her-well, one looked and the other looked…in that direction.

Kagome walked up to them and stopped in front of them.

"I think you two should sit down," Kagome said. "You both are badly hurt. Sango should-"

"Sango is right here. With the hot water and new rags, I might add," Sango said as she walked into the room. She placed the small bucket of water on the ground and turned to see two men standing. "So," she said, "this one finally woke up."

"Yes he did," Kagome said. "And they were just about to sit down so they could be cleaned up. Both of you are still bloody. And you can't go outside."

"Have a seat on the couch," Sango said, sounding calm for some strange reason.

The staggering boy spoke again.

"We don't need your damn medicine!" he said. He turned to Roku. "What we need to do is get the hell out of here before they find us! So let's go!" Then he started for the door. His friend Roku reached out to grab him, but he was stopped when he spoke again. "Don't try and stop me, Roku. You know as much as I do we need to leave."

"We can't go out you damn fool," Roku said. "Don't you know the sun is out? And you don't even have your-"

Kagome didn't mean to say it. She really didn't mean to. But the word just slipped out of her mouth. It rolled off her tongue like the word itself was slick with butter. It was merely a whisper, but they heard it still.

"Talisman…" she said. She slowly brought her hand to her neck, and fingered the talisman that was there…it was still hot, but not like how it was outside before.

Roku's POV

My ears couldn't believe it. What did this girl know about our talisman? I'm sure I didn't tell her. I've barely spoken to her since I woke up. And where-where did she get that talisman? And how did she know what is was. I glanced over at my friend and saw that he was still shocked-still blind as a bat too. But he could fend for himself.

I turned back to look at this girl. What was she? I can't even smell her, and yet my friend can. I could only smell the other girl, the one with the water and rags. I took a step towards the girl known as Kagome.

"Where did you get that?" I asked her. My eyes drifted down to her neck where it lay against her skin. Her hand was still touching it, slightly covering it in the process, but there was no mistaking what it was. But who's talisman was it? And how did she get it? How?

"I got it from this house," Kagome replied. "I found it in a chest."

My friend made a noise in the back of his throat. He walked quickly by my side and quickly took over the conversation.

"A chest you say, girl," he asked her.

"Y-yes, a chest," Kagome answered. She was scared now. I could smell it. The acrid stench of it was rolling off of her in thick layers. It hit my nose strong, and I know that Inu, my friend smelled it too. It was making my blood run faster. I was very much surprised when Inu woke up and called me by my nickname. If he didn't, there would be hell to pay. He must have smelled the girls in the room while he was asleep.

But he would have to continue to be careful, or else…

"Let me see it," Inu said. He held out his hand. Kagome backed up; she clutched the talisman in her hand harder. Inu walked forward, not surprisingly, keeping eye contact with her, even though he was blind.

"Give me…the fucking…." And then, the poor sap collapsed on the floor. Kagome jumped back and gave a yelp. The other girl, I still didn't know her name, she just stood there and watched it all happen. Some strange girl she was. I bent down and patted Inu's back. I shook my head. He couldn't even talk without fainting again. That's what he gets for not eating. But I couldn't talk. Even now, I felt myself growing faint again.

"…Um…put him on the couch…there…" the other girl said, pointing to the black couch in the room. I picked up Inu and brought him to the couch. I laid him down and took a good look at him. If he didn't feed soon, he really would die soon. His lips were already getting a little blue and his skin was paler that it was supposed to.

I was going to have to give him some of my blood.

He would hate it, but if he didn't want to die, he will accept.

I looked back at Kagome and she was now helping the other girl with the water and rags.

"I didn't get your name," I asked the girl beside Kagome. She looked up and glared at me.

"That's because I didn't give it," she said. "But if you must know, its Sango." I nodded my head. "If you don't want to get infected to death, I suggest you sit down so I can clean you up."

I liked this one.

I smiled to her.

"You're a feisty one, aren't you?" I said.

"For someone who could have been dead and who is allergic to the sun or something, you are very flirty."

I smiled again.

Regular POV

Kagome heard the conversation going on between Roku and Sango, but said nothing about it as she made her way over to the sleeping boy on the couch. The room was still dark because the curtains were closed, blocking out the sun. If they didn't have thick curtains, then those two boys would have been toast. More like burned toast.

The known Roku sat across the room on the other couch with Sango. She was dabbing at his head with the rags and hot water. Kagome turned to look at her patient. This one was really messed up. She put her container of water on the ground in front of the couch he was sleeping on and sat by the edge, being careful not to touch him. She dipped the rag into the hot water.

She brought the wet rag to the boys face, and began to clean away the dirt and blood from his face. He stirred slightly under the touch, but stayed asleep.

At least, Kagome thought he was asleep…

Inu POV

I fell down again. I guess I wasn't very ready to stand up on my own. In addition, my eyes still hurt like hell. That light must have been super powered of something. I moved a little when I felt something touch my head. That smell hit me again. It was that smell from the girl. Why did she smell like that? Roku said he couldn't smell her…which is strange because I can. I can smell her so clear and bright, it makes my mouth water.

I've never smelled anything like this before. It's breathtaking. I squeezed my eyes shut tighter as I tried to get a hold of my thoughts. We were stuck-Roku and I. That girl has my talisman. I know because she said she found it in a chest, and that's where I hid mine. I had to, if I didn't, then that bastard Kouga would try to take it. He and the rest of his men know how important those things are to us. We would have taken it and never given it back…

But my thoughts once again landed on that girl. I couldn't see her before I fell down. And I can't see her now because my eyes are shut. But my vision is coming back; I can feel my eyes coming back to normal. But even if my eyes were permanently lost, I would still be able to see her, feel her. I know she's the one leaning over me now. Cleaning me up. It's not like I need it. The wounds will heal on their own.

I could feel her…it was so strong it was overpowering. My blood was running hot in my veins; it was taking over the pain of my need. I could sense her heat radiating from her body and mingling with mine. I could feel how her hand was gently stroking my face. I felt when she hesitated cleaning my chest, and I would have laughed at her.

But she did it anyway. She was gentle and those burns hurt like a motherfucker. I licked my lips and moved a little bit. I felt her stop. The rag came back up to my face…to my mouth. She was wiping away the blood smudges there. With my eyes closed, I saw her as something that I wanted so bad.

My teeth hurt. I wanted to sink them into her flesh…

My eyes fluttered open. I saw her clearly for the first time. Her hair was all black, like mine. It was fallen over her face as she bent over me to work. It was so dark, that is had a blue tint to it. It was slightly curly too. Her skin was perfect; creamy. Her cheeks were slightly flushed with what she was doing. My blurry eyes found her eyes, and they were…indescribable.

Those stormy blue eyes…and that…

That red. Her eyes were bleeding at me. Bleeding so beautifully, that it made my breath catch. It was only a little, but to me, I saw it all…

I roamed down her face to her lips, but quickly averted my eyes. What the hell am I doing? I can't look at her lips! And why the fuck am I having all of these nasty perverted thoughts?! I don't even know her. She could be really out to get me. You never can be sure. She's just a human, so will she suspect much? But she knew about the talisman before Roku said it. How is that? And to top it all off, she still has my fucking talisman on her neck like it's hers!

But even as I said this, my eyes wandered back to her rosy lips. My blood nearly burst out my veins when I saw her pink tongue dart out her mouth to wet her lips. Suddenly, I realized my eyes weren't blurry anymore, and I was looking at her clearly. How would she taste…if I were to kiss her right now? How would she react if my mouth came down upon hers? Because that's what I wanted to do right now…

My breath came low and slow out my partly open mouth. My eyes made their way back up to her neck. I saw my talisman again. I looked into her eyes once again, and saw she was looking at me too.

"I see you're awake," she said softly. I gave a grunt and tried to sit up, when I felt her hand on my chest try to push me back down. I knocked her hand away and sat up still. Just because I was having weird cravings for her, it didn't mean that she could tell me-the meanest vampire in these parts-what to do. I leaned against the armrest of the couch, my body still laying on top of the couch. I looked down at my chest and noticed the blood was gone. But my deep wounds still bled slightly. I could already feel the healing process take its course.

Soon, I would be completely healed…in most areas. I still needed blood. And the only way to get it, would be to hunt. The girl was currently rolling out some bandages. For me, I guess. She cut a piece of it out and leaned towards me. Her face was down.

"I need to…um…put these on," she said.

"And?" I questioned.

"You…your shirt needs to…um-come off completely," she said with a blush staining her cheeks. I looked down to see what she was talking about. My shirt was still on, but the front was completely ripped open from top to bottom, leaving my whole chest exposed. I looked back up at her and answered.

"I don't need any fucking bandages, okay?"

"But your-" she looked at my chest with an increasing blush and nodded and quickly put the bandages away. She didn't look me in the eye.

"And your name?" I questioned.

"Kagome."

"Well Kagome, how the hell did you find us?"

Her face seemed to change suddenly. "I don't know, "she said. I was sleeping…and then, I heard something."

"Like what? Please don't be so fucking vague."

"You're the one asking me questions, so don't go snapping at me!" she said.

"Listen," I said, "we were very far from your house. So how did you hear something that far away?"

"I don't know! I should be the one asking questions here buddy!"

"Kagome, is everything okay over there?" the other girl asked from where she was sitting.

Kagome glared at me. Her eyes got all narrowed. I don't know why she was looking at me like that, but she had better stop. I didn't do anything. Did I? Kagome suddenly jumped up from the chair and walked over to her friend on the other side of the room. She sat on the couch on the other side of Roku. His head was already bandaged up. And he seemed quite happy for some stupid reason.

I leaned back down on the couch and closed my eyes. How dare that stupid bitch just leave me here. I was her patient and she just left me like that! What the hell was wrong with her? I hoped she didn't go into professional medicine.

**********

Kagome's POV

Well! That guy had some nerve! He was in my house, on my couch, wrapped up in my bandages. Then he had the nerve to snap at me like that! Well! I was going to get some answers if it was the last thing I do. I sat down next to Roku on the couch.

"Kagome, Roku says he's hungry. I'm going to make some breakfast now," Sango said. "Is that one over there hungry?"

"I wouldn't know. He has a bad attitude. He can starve." I said.

"Well," Roku said, adding his input in the conversation, "he's always like that. He just needs some food too. But Inu is Inu."

"Inu! His name is Inu?!" I said.

"And so what if my name is Inu. You got a problem with that?" the Inu called from across the room.

It was his.

I quickly stood up and walked over to him. I stood over him on the couch. He opened one eye and looked at me with it.

"Can I help you," he said.

I took the talisman from around my neck and through it on his chest.

"You'll be needing it more that I do," I said. "It has your name on it. I saw it on the back when I first found it."

Suddenly, Inu was up off the couch. And he was right in my face, his fists bunched up in the front of my shirt. He pulled me closer, his nose just touching mine. I could feel his cool breath on my face, caressing my cheeks.

"I don't know how you know about the talisman," he growled, his voice dangerously low and menacing, "but you better tell me who you are. If not, I will kill you. Simple, right?"

"Let me go!" I yelled, struggling to release his hands from my shirt. "Let me go!"

"Kagome!" I heard Sango yell. She was behind Inu pulling at his ripped shirt. "You bastard, release her. Now!"

"Inu! What are you doing?! You fool," Roku said. His hand reached out and encircled Inu's wrist and tried to pull him off. "Inu!"

"Please," I begged, "let me go…please."

He wouldn't let me go. I was so scared. His fist was still fitted tightly in my shirt. Sango was still pulling him from behind to no prevail, and Roku still had his hands around his wrist. But nothing worked. He wouldn't let go. His eyes stared menacingly at me, never letting me go with his stare.

"Tell me," he barked. He even shook me a little. I could still feel his cool breath on my face. I shouldn't have been thinking about that at the time, but I was. And I hated myself for it. (Not for long because I was currently being semi-strangled.) I started to try to pull away again, but it wouldn't work. Why I thought it would, is beyond me.

My cheeks were soaked with my tears, and new ones were still running down my face. And then, I don't know what happened next, okay, I do but I just don't understand it. Well, anyway, the next thing I know, Roku yelled, "Inuyasha, let her go now! What are you doing?!"

"Inuyasha," I yelled pleadingly, "let me go!" and then, his eyes got wide, as if something scared him, then I was released, quickly. As soon as he let me go, I scampered away from him as fast as I could. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe they would hurt us, and suck me dry. How could I have been so stupid?! How could I have wanted to meet a vampire when I knew they were dangerous?! Have those late night movies of Dracula taught me nothing?! I felt so tired and scared. I was shaking uncontrollably. My back came into contact with a wall, and I gratefully leaned against it.

My chest heaved up and down quickly as I still sobbed loudly. And that's when I looked up and saw Inuyasha and Roku staring bullets at each other…

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Inuyasha yelled suddenly, breaking the silence, save from my sobbing of fear. "You said my name-out loud! Do you know what you've done?!"

"You should never have grabbed her!" Roku yelled back. "You've just gotten us into trouble! Do you have any idea what could have happened to us if you had hurt her?! And you had no right to do that! SO DON'T GO BLAMING SHIT ON ME!"

"NOW SHE HAS CONTROL. SHE SAID MY NAME FIRST…MIROKU!" Inuyasha yelled back.

What the fuck was going on here? They said their names were Inu and Roku. Not Miroku and Inuyasha. They didn't tell us their real names. What else about them is fake. Not that I know anything else. Then I saw Miroku's eyes get wide and then so did mine. Because I saw Sango slowly pulling up her hand, holding something fierily in her grasp.

"Sango!" I yelled ignoring Inuyasha and Miroku completely, "don't do it!"

"Miroku! Inuyasha!" Sango screamed, "don't move!" she said, with the gun in her hand, pointing it at Inuyasha and Miroku.
