InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ To Serve and Protect ❯ No Escape ( Chapter 6 )

Disclaimer: Muwahaha. This chapter should be really different, but I figured it'd be no fun if it was so soon. Now, I finally mention Kikyou in this chapter. Yes, she did have a connection with Inuyasha but I waited until this chapter to say anything. You'll get to see a little more of Inuyasha's soft side. Also the only reason I put her like I did... crimoney, you'll see.

Chapter Six: No Escape

Kagome waited for half an hour and he still wasn't out of the bathroom. Suddenly, the door cracked opened and a cloud of steam poured out. Through it, came Inuyasha. He was now dressed in a black t-shirt and a pair of black jeans. He huffed and acted as if she wasn't there, heading into the bedroom "Inuyasha..." she stood up.

He turned, "What?"

"Answer me... please... I'm really confused."

"Look, I just... felt sorry for you..."

"W-What?"

"Don't think I like you like that or anything..." he said. The truth was he didn't really have an excuse for what he did. He just felt like doing it. There was no justification for it. He wasn't about to admit that he'd actually liked kissing her. He couldn't... not after...

"F-Felt sorry for me? Are you... serious? Why would you do something like that... That's not something you can just go around doing..." she whispered.

"Well, I'm sorry, but it really didn't mean anything..." he looked away.

"So, do you just go around leading people on like this?!" she choked.

"Kagome!" he snapped.

"J-Just shut up! I don't want to see y-you right now." she hiccupped and began to leave.

"Hey!" he grabbed a hold of her wrist.

The look in her eyes made him freeze and the way she formed the words made him shudder, "Don't touch me... Please..." she said and left.

"Shit." he huffed.

He jumped at a noise from behind him, there was a noise coming from the bathroom? He wasn't sure. He crept up slowly to the bathroom door, noticing a broken vase in the doorway, and in doing so met the flat end of a fireplace shovel and his world spun into darkness.

"He felt sorry for you? Kagome..."

"I don't know, Sango. All I know is that... it felt... right." she sighed.

"Are you in love with him?"

"I... don't know. I know that he pisses me off, he's rude, messy, he's cruel... but then again... he's sweet, he's a good cook, he knows how to cheer me up, he protects me, he never lets me down, he's there for me..."

"See, Kagome..."

"What?"

"The good... outweighs the bad." Sango smiled.

"I suppose your right." she sighed, "Should I..."

"Go talk to him? Yeah. I mean, I've known Inuyasha for a while, he never says how he feels..."

"Okay..." she nodded to Sango, "Thanks..." she smiled and hugged her.

"Bye." she smiled.

Kagome smiled and left. Maybe she needed to admit how she felt first. It might be a little soon to love him, but she knew she felt things for him. She wanted to fully express it to him and break it into small words so he understood. She sighed and opened the door, only to find a window opened and a shattered vase, "I-Inuyasha?"

She walked further in to find a few dark red spots on the carpet. She panicked, what happened? Where was Inuyasha? He wasn't... there... Suddenly her eyes shot to the floor where a small puddle of blood lay with a note in it. She knelt down shakily and read it.

We have the cop, Inuyasha? Is that his name, sweets? I know you want him back. It's too bad, really, but if you want, take a long walk north at about 9 A.M. tomorrow evening. Walk far enough to get out of the city districts. We'll know where to find you.

She shook her head, that was no good. She knew if she went alone she might never come out alive, but she knew they'd know if she brought reinforcements, so she would have to brave it. She decided to clean up the mess and go to bed, she had a long day tomorrow.

Kagome woke up at eight o'clock sharp. She really didn't mean to, she'd even set her clock for eight forty-five. It didn't matter. She could have an early start. She found Inuyasha's gun stuffed under his pillow where he'd always had it. She took it. She pulled on a black button-up shirt, a pair of black Capri's and a black t-shirt. She wanted something she could move freely in, just in case she needed to run. She hid the gun under the jacket, she found a chest strap for the gun and pulled the button up shirt over, maybe they wouldn't notice? Of course she'd never shot a gun before. She'd loaded them before, only because she'd loaded Inuyasha's gun a few times. She honestly had no idea what she was doing. She found a pocket knife in Inuyasha's underwear drawer, she stuffed that in the side of her boot. If all went wrong she could just stab her problems away. In any case, she pulled out a large bottle of water, it was going to be a two hour walk to the outside of the city at least. She'd walked all over the place, she was more than capable at estimating how long this would take her. And so, she began her long walk.

"Are you awake yet, mutt?" one of the men kicked him in the leg.

"F-Fuck yourself." he choked.

"Nah, I can just have your little bitch do that for me when she gets here." the man grinned.

"Fuck off and die if you think you're gunna lay a hand on her!"

"Those are just the tranquilizers talking. We thought it might be a little too soon to do anything this irrational, but we figured, they'd never count on us kidnapping you seeing as how it's that girl we want." he grinned.

"Are you... Naraku?"

"My name is Musou. I am Naraku's heart. A branch of him." he said.

"What do you plan on doing?"

"You'll see in time." he said pulling from a sitting box, a syringe and a bottle. He carefully inserted the syringe into the bottle and filled it. He flicked the needle a few times and knelt down beside Inuyasha

Inuyasha's drowsiness was wearing fast due to his blood, he could feel himself bound by chains. He tugged at them, "Fucker... don't touch me." he pulled.

"Goodnight, Inuyasha." the man leaned down and pressed the needle into his left arm.

"Let go!" he said, slurring a bit.

He stood and smiled brightly at Inuyasha, "Thank God I don't have to take care of you anymore."

"W-What?"

Before he could blink an eye a blurring image with long black hair came into the room. All he could really see was a red skirt and a white t-shirt, "Hello, Inuyasha..."

"No... way..." he breathed. He'd forgotten about her. He'd blocked it from his heart for the longest time. He'd never thought about it... When he met Kagome it struck him, but after that there were no more thoughts of his pain.

"I'm sorry, did you... think I was dead?" the womanly voice asked.

"You... faked..."

"I did..." she sighed, "Don't worry, Inuyasha, everything will be okay soon. We can be together again." she smiled and kissed him full on the lips.

Everything around him turned to gray, and then finally black.

Kagome wiped the sweat dripping from her brow. It was really freaking hot. She was now hiking along a main road beside a cliff. She decided it best to hike with traffic seeing as how the cliff scared the living crap out of her. She'd been walking outside of the city limits for two hours now. She was hot, she was tired, she had to pee... Not only that, she wanted this whole thing to be over. She knew this was probably the last day she'd ever see, but if she could do something great, she'd like to be remembered. She was going to save Inuyasha, she was going to make sure he survived, because she knew now, she would never let anything happen to him. Ever. Even if it took her life.

"Do you see her yet?" Naraku's voice bellowed over the headphones.

"No, you impatient idiot." Kagura snorted. She was sick of his shit anyways.

"Go ahead, keep talking like that. Youcould be out of a job."

"I'm one of the few lackeys you have. You wouldn't fire me."

"Shut up. Keep looking." he ordered and hung up.

"I hate him." she sighed.

"Put up with it a bit longer. Once we get her, we blackmail, then kill him. It's that simple." said Kanna.

"I know. I just don't know if I can stand to hear his voice anymore." she sighed.

Kanna pointed, "Is that her?"

Kagura's head snapped around, "Yeah, I think so. What's she doing here though?"

"Pull over then. I'll get her." she whispered.

Kagome blinked as a car pulled over beside her, how? She'd left early. It didn't matter, she needed to run, but just as she had someone had jumped out of the car. This only motivated her to move faster, she picked up the pace but it was to no avail. A damp funny smelling cloth was smothering her face and soon the world faded away into darkness.

AN: AHEM. End.. of chapter!! ^_~
