THE WAR OF BLOODY *LOVE

CHAPTER 16: THE BREAK IN

“There it is,” Kagome said pointing to a house coming into view.

“Kagome,” Sango said. “I can’t believe we are doing this. You are so evil.”

Kagome smiled. “You better believe it. That bitch has it coming.”

“So why did you go to the library, Mr. Sims and the school shop?”

“Because,” Kagome said. “I needed to get a new sketch book, some books for some art ideas, and I needed to ask Mr. Sims where Kagura lived. How do you think we knew how to get to her house? The Magic School Bus?”[Loved that show when I was small!]

“Okay. But what about the new sketchbook? Isn’t this whole thing supposed to be getting your sketchbook back? Why did you buy a new one?”

“Well,” Kagome got that evil glint in her eyes, “this is a little surprise for her…”

“Oh! Kagome you are so bad!” Sango laughed.

The two girls stopped the car a couple yards away from the house so they wouldn’t look suspicious. It was dark now. Late into the night and Kagome knew Kagura wouldn’t be home. She never was. Always at the mall wasting money on bullshit. And as they crept closer to the house, they saw that she was the meaning of the word ‘rich’.

The house was big like Kagome’s except it looked more expensive. There were balconies all over the place and well-built windows. The house had to have a least four floors, for what, Kagome didn’t know. There were no lights on in the house, which was good. The front door only held two lights on either side of it, making the entrance to the house less dark.

The house was planted on a slope like plain. The back of the house rose slightly higher than the front. The two girls slowly crept out of the car and crouched as low as they could go. Staying that way, they slowly and discreetly approached the house, making sure to stay in the shadows. They stopped when they approached the side of the house and hid under the side porch that stretched from the house. It was dark and dusty under there.

“Jeez,” Sango said hitting cobwebs, “you would think for rich idiots, they clean once in awhile.”

“I guess because it’s under the porch,” Kagome said. “No one come under here.” Kagome looked around the dark neighborhood. It was dark and empty. Not a sound was made besides the breathing of the two girls cooped under the porch. They would have to do this, and do it perfectly. If they were caught, they would be put in jail.

“Okay,” Kagome said turning to Sango. “Remember the plan. I go up and sneak into her room and you stay as look out. And here. Take this.” Kagome thrust a small walkie-talkie at Sango who picked it up and observed it.

“Where the hell did you get this? This isn’t an infiltration, Kagome.”

“I got it from the school store. And yes, it is. Well, close enough. Just turn it on and try it.” Sango turned hers on and so did Kagome.

“Testing,” Sango said. “Testing, one, two, three.”

“It works,” Kagome said when she heard Sango’s voice through the speakers. “Okay. I’m going. If you see anybody, even a person walking, or a small sound, tell me. And speak low so no one hears you. Good luck.” Kagome stepped out form under the porch, crouched low and quickly ran to the back of the house. Great, another porch led to the first floor through a door.

Kagome walked around a little more until she found the set of stairs that led onto the low porch. She reached it and was on the porch in seconds. She looked up and saw another porch above her. That one leads into her room. “Thank god mom forced me to her crappy party last year,” Kagome muttered. “Or else I would have never known where her room was…”

Kagome looked up again. She couldn’t go through the door in front of her. It was locked. She would have to climb. Kagome reached her hands above her and could fully grasp a small portion of the porch rails above her. Holding tightly, she turned slightly to look over her shoulder and awkwardly put her foot on top of the ledge of the porch she was standing on. She put her other foot on it to give her a boost.

Her head was now over the second ledge. She grasped on the porch’s metal stands and pulled her self over it with great effort. It was a lot of work pulling your own body weight. She landed clumsily on the porch. She pulled her other leg over and stood in front of a large sliding door. Kagome slid the door open and walked right into Kagura’s room.

“What an idiot. Leaving it open. If she gets snatched in the middle of the night, it’s totally her fault.”

Kagome pulled out her walkie-talkie and tuned into Sango. “I’m in, Sango.”

There was a pause and then, “Okay. I was getting worried for a second. Just get it and get out.”

Kagome put the walkie-talkie away, pulled out her flashlight, and pointed it in the room. Nothing looked out of the ordinary. The bed was made, with pink sheets. There was a desk in the corner with some books and pencils spread around on it. There was a large bookcase filled with books and journals. Kagome walked over to it, pulled out a small blue book, and opened it.

July 10, Monday
I hate this camp. It’s so boring. There are too much bugs and the food is horrible. My room smells like musty wet rags and my roommate never showers. And worst of all, she always has an attitude with me and the other girls. No wonder she has no friends. But I feel sorry for her though, she looks lonely…
September 7, Thursday
Mom and dad were fight again today. They thought I didn’t hear but I did. They were arguing in the kitchen and I came in through the back door and caught them. As usual, they quickly shut up and acted like nothing happened-

Kagome shut the diary very quick. This was getting to serious stuff and she didn’t want to read it. She felt weird though, knowing Kagura felt bad for that girl at camp and that her mom and dad fought all the time. Maybe that is why she turned out like a piss off. But she shouldn’t complain. At least she had parents. But she had to hurry up and find the book. She was wasting time. She put the book back and resumed the search.

She quickly scanned the rest of the bookcase to see if she put it there. She even looked behind some books to see if Kagura hid them there. But no such luck. She turned to the desk and went through the things on the desk. She flipped through her books, making sure Kagura didn’t get destructive and ripped the pages out and hid them between her history books. No such luck either.

She went over to the bed and pulled up the mattress to look and see if it was there. It wasn’t. There were only some stray papers and another book. She dropped down to her knees and shined the flashlight under the bed. She only saw a shoe and some more books. Kagome pulled them out and flipped through them and found nothing. She was turning desperate.

She went to the pillows and reached her hands inside the pillowcase to see if something was there. There was nothing. Now she was frantic. She looked everywhere she could think of. It was time for the draws then. She moved to the first set, vigorously moving clothes aside looking for her book at the bottom. Kagome slowly touched the sketchbook in her left arm. The one she bought. If she didn’t find hers, she couldn’t leave this one.

She moved through as much draws, as quickly as she could before she got to the last one. She searched it, and it too came up empty.

“Where did you put it?”

Kagome opened a door to reveal a walk in closet. Kagome had no time to stare. She had to find her book. She started by dropping to her knees and searching under the clothes on the floor. She moved shoes aside and looked in a bucket she saw. She got up and began shaking the close on their racks, hoping to see her book fall out from between a pair of pants. She took a couple pants off the hanger and dug her hand in the inside of the leg, to make sure Kagura didn’t stuff them in there. When that came up fruitless, she then began to look up at the amount of boxes on the long shelf above the closet.

Damn. This would take long. She took one box down, searched it, and found a small doll. The second one a shoe, then a small stuffed bear, jewelry, socks, toys, old presents still wrapped. You name it, it was there. Suddenly, Kagome’s walkie- talkie came on. It was Sango.

“Kagome! Get out. The car just pulled up now! Come on! Now!”

Kagome dropped the box that was in her hand and the items scattered. She could see the car lights go out as the car turned off through the glass window. Kagome quickly stuffed everything back in the box and put it back on the top shelf. She dropped down to her knees and set all of the things back in order. She heard the lock turn downstairs and voices carry. She sprinted out of the closet and shut the door. She turned the flashlight off.

She ran around the room, putting the bed back in place. She heard the voices linger near the bottom of the stairs. She pushed all of the books back in order. And stuck the clothes back into the draws that were sticking out. She turned around and sprinted for the sliding door when she tripped and fell hard over the rug.

“What was that?” she heard a voice say downstairs.

Kagome quickly got up and ran to the balcony. Her heart was pounding as she heard the people question the noise she just made. She closed the door and looked down, read to jump. Shit! It was too high. She was about two and a half stories up. She would surely break something. She looked up and tried to grasp the roofs edges, but she was too short!

She jumped up and down, trying to reach it but she couldn’t. She heard the sound of feet walking up the stairs and she felt the color drain from her face. What would she do? She couldn’t get up. She looked up one more time. She grabbed hold of the gutter that hung from the roof and put her foot on the edge of the balcony, not daring to look down. If she fell, she would probably die at this angle.

She heard the doorknob turn and she couldn’t breathe…

Suddenly…someone grasped her wrist and pulled her up with much ease. She immediately boosted her feet off the ledge, though it wasn’t needed. The person pulled her up completely onto of the roof. Kagome sighed a breath of relief when she heard Kagura come into her room below. She looked up at her savior and her jaw fell open.

“Just call me ‘The Man’ because I just helped you big time,” Inuyasha said flashing a grin.

Kagome scuffled on the other side of the roof and looked over. She was high up. She grabbed her walkie-talkie and called Sango. “Sango! You there. I’m out now. I’m okay.”

“Kagome!” Sango’s voice rang. “Goodness! I thought you were caught. I just saw Inuyasha jump on the roof out of no where and I don’t know what happened.”

“Is Miroku there?” Kagome asked.

“No. I don’t see him-Pervert! Never mind. He’s here with me. Hurry and get off the roof.” Then her voice ended.
**********
Kagome’s POV

“What are you doing here?” I asked Inuyasha turning to him. I was crouched down, my weight on the balls of my feet, ready to move if he decided to strike. After what he did to me, I couldn’t quite hold the feeling I felt when I was near him. I felt wild and untamed. And I felt that feeling was dangerous, no matter how good it felt to me.

“I came to save you,” he replied staring at me.

“How did you find us?” I asked.

“I tracked your scent. You left an easy trail. A werewolf could have tracked you down you know.”

“I don’t care anymore. My life had been hell since I met you. I want you to go away and never come back. It’s like you’re bad luck.”

“Can’t do that. Sorry. I can’t be away from you for long.” He said.

“Whatever. I didn’t get what I wanted anyway.”

“What was that?” he questioned, sitting perfectly still, Indian-style. It looked weird on him.

“My sketch book,” I answered, thinking of a way to get away from him. “This bitch stole it.” I touched the sketchbook that was in my coat pocket that I bought at the store.

“Well you failed,” he said simply.

“What?” I said getting annoyed.

He pointed to the sketchbook poking out my pocket. “You didn’t get yours. I can help if you let me.”

“Really?” I asked surprised. He didn’t seem like the type of person to help somebody beyond his limits. Then, my eyes narrowed and I looked at him. He would help someone beyond his limits-for a price. “What do you want in return?” I said coldly.

“Smart girl. All I want is a simple night with you... Nothing will happen. Just for me to show you how it really is at night.”

I was shocked. How could he say things like that? Show me how it was at night? What did he mean by that? He was waiting for my answer. But I didn’t know what to say. I had to admit. The little time I’ve been with Inuyasha, it has been overwhelming. When he wasn’t near me, I was secretly constantly thinking about him. I couldn’t get him out of my head.

No wonder I drew him in my sketchbook. I had to get him out my head. Oh, but how I didn’t want to. I felt myself wanting to say yes, wanting it more than anything. To let him hold my in his cool hands and run with her forever. But I forced it out of her lips.

“N-no…” I said. “I want no night with you.” But even as I said it, I knew I was lying. I did-I did want that night…

His eyes narrowed at my words and he moved in closer. “I will have that night with you. I know I will. And when you’re ready, I’ll be there.”

I was scared of him now. I could feel his cool breath on my face against the warm air around me. He was so close-too close. Wild…wild and untamed…How could he change emotions so quickly? Be sweet and calm one minute, then cold and demanding the next? I didn’t like it-I loved it. I shuddered with fear of what he said.

He noticed this and said, “Good. You should be afraid of me.”

“I’ll kill you. If you try anything, I will kill you-without a second thought. I will find a way to do it. Don’t you dare underestimate me.” I said, surprised at how calm my voice was.
He looked at me a moment then said, “There’s no doubt in my mind you wont.”

“I’m getting off this roof with you,” I said. I turned around and was getting ready to jump when I realized how high I was. I couldn’t jump. But I couldn’t stay here-with him. My senses were going in over drive and I had the sudden urge to just jump. To jump and end all of my crazy thinking and crazy needs. To escape this vampire that filled me these bad girl thoughts.

I turned and looked at him. He was still staring at me intently. As if trying to pierce my skin. Even in the night, he was beautiful-if even more. The little light the stars provided danced across his face and hair, quickly flickering across his eyes, lighting them up and darkening them again. One side of his face was hidden in the shadows and the other was not. Giving him a mysterious look. It was a nice sight. I looked over the roof again.

“You’re going to jump?” he said. “You’ll be no more.”

I looked at him. I felt so good. Without a second glance, I dropped my body over the edge. I felt myself feel so light for a second, and it felt like an eternity. I quickly wondered if that’s what it would feel like to fly. But it came to an abrupt stop when Inuyasha caught my arm with lightning speed. I looked up at him.

“You fool! He said. “If you want death so much, I could give it to you!”

“Why are you holding me?” I asked calmly. “I think you should let me go.”

“Do you want me to?” he asked softly still holding me over the ledge. “Do you want me to let go?” I knew he would if I told him. He couldn’t disobey me. If I told him to drop me, he would without the slightest hesitation.

“It would be so much easer if you did wouldn’t it? I wouldn’t be possibly getting chased by werewolves, I wouldn’t have to worry about my art work, I wouldn’t be here dangling off a roof with a vampire holding me up, Kagura wouldn’t have stolen my work, and I wouldn’t have to live with the pain of my parents being dead.”

“I could drop you, you know. And then it would be over.” He said. I suddenly looked up at him and almost smiled. I was suddenly grateful that he caught me. Grateful I could go back to the people I cared about. How could I-for one moment forget about them? Forget about Uncle and Sango? And my grandparents and even my teachers and people I hate? How could I be so selfish and leave them in one split second because I couldn’t take it anymore?

Why did I even fall over the fucking roof? I felt so wild. Too wild. Inuyasha did that to me and I knew it. But I loved that feeling. And if I were to go now, I would miss it. That freedom thing that stirred inside me when we locked gazes or came to close. I still felt his breath on my skin from when he ‘thanked’ me. My body felt as if it was going to explode that night. It was so hot.

It was like an imprint on my skin to forever stay there and never come off. The coolness of is breath as his lips touched my skin-it was so indescribable. Even if I tried to explain it to Sango, she wouldn’t understand how it felt. Only I could. And even now, when he was holding me up, I felt this energy surge through me to my toes and up again. Back and forth, back and forth.

I did want him….

And I suddenly realized, I didn’t jump because I wanted to get away, I jumped because I wanted him to catch me…

“It would be over,” he repeated again.

“Yes. Yes it would,” I answered.

“But…” he said pulling me up. He pulled me right onto his lap and folded his arms around me tightly. I was engulfed in his coolness and strength. I could feel it falling from him to me. “That would be such a grand waste-to let you fall like that.”

“I guess it would,” I said.

We were silent on the roof for a while. He still held me and I just let him hold me close. He held me tight, too. As if he was afraid I would vanish into the air. He nuzzled my neck and I allowed him to. I felt his lips skim my neck and touch my pulse-he paused a moment, and that’s when I felt him leave a small kiss there. His lips felt cool and soft. I shivered violently in his arms. If we didn’t have to get off the roof, I had a feeling he wouldn’t ever let me go. But no…I don’t know him. This man-I have no idea who he is! He can’t stir these feelings in me. Not now, not ever. He was something of the night. Though I’ve searched for him my whole life, knowing he was out there, this can’t be. Then I broke loose from him suddenly and turned my back on him.

“We should go,” I said. Before I said anything else, he came up behind me and scooped me in his arms bridal style. My face couldn’t get any redder because when he held me, my face already turned all the shades of red. But I didn’t complain. He jumped down with ease and I scrambled out of his arms and ran to greet Sango and Miroku. Not knowing that my other sketchbook I was going to leave for Kagura fell to the floor, and that Inuyasha picked it up.
