InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Tragic Demise ❯ Chapter 5 ( Chapter 5 )

****Right now****

(Where was god when I needed a friend)

It seemed like there wasn't a single soul in the world that she could talk to. Once everyone at school had found out that she was pregnant she had been branded a slut, a whore and not even her three closest "friends" would dare talk to her or even look in her direction for fear of becoming shunned, beaten, and spit upon as Kagome was.

Things had gotten so violent, Kagome was forced to drop out after she was beaten and nearly raped again. Her mother and grandfather realizing that her life and the life of her baby were in jeopardy, allowed her to drop out, though they secretly frowned upon it, though failed to iterate such thoughts for they knew the poor girl had enough on her already overloaded mind.

(Where was god when I came to an end)

Growling in annoyance one morning Kagome got up from her warm spot on her feather-soft bed and trudged over to the window to close it. It was the beginning of autumn and the nights and mornings were chilly, whoever decided that it would be funny to open her window to allow the cool morning breeze greet her this morning was going to get it. Although maybe if she got sick it wouldn't be such a bad idea, because then she might lose the baby, shaking her head, she put her hand over her swollen belly and exerted enough pressure to cause the baby to squirm in discomfort.

After a couple of minutes she released the pressure, sighing and went back under the covers after she closed and locked the windows. Down stairs she could hear her mother bustling about the kitchen preparing breakfast for Souta, herself and jii-chan. It had become a fact of life that even though Kagome was home she never came down during meals.

(Where was god when I lost my mind)

As a matter of fact as aforementioned she did all of her eating, if any, at night. Today, however, she was hungry and awake, so she decided to break from her nocturnal ways and join the family for breakfast.

(Where was god, when I couldn't fight)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~

(Down too long like I was before

And I've never thought I'd see the day

Can't be wrong 'cause I know the score

And I guess there is no other way

Reminded of you)

This life he was leading was torture for him. Everything reminded him of her and what he had done to her everything reminded him of what he had lost. Inuyasha was fed-up with hiding he needed to see her again, needed to talk to her. Even if she killed him, it would be better than simply hiding. He would go see her. He would only be getting what he deserved if she did kill him. With a look of determination set on his, pale, thin face, he got up from his spot in the cave, his home of the past seven months, and headed towards the Bone-Eater's Well.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sighing contentedly Kagome made her way up the stairs to her room. She was home alone again. After breakfast she had seen her brother off to school, her grandfather off to a monk's convention on bettering one's spiritual powers and her mom off on errands. As she approached her room she heard a shuffling noise within.

"Buyou?" she asked as she entered her room. 'Funny,' she thought, 'I thought Buyou was outside.'

As the door slowly swung open, her mouth dropped agape and a startled gasp escaped her lips as a dark haired figure swathed in Inuyasha's red fire rat hakama sitting on her bed. Staring at this man that looked so like Inuyasha on the nights of the new moon, that with an eep of surprise Kagome's eyes rolled back into her head and her pregnant form dropped to the floor.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Kagome! Kagome! Wake up!" a definitely masculine voice, that definitely did not belong to jii-chan or Souta called to her, laced with worry.

Slowly drifting to the surface, Kagome slowly lifted her eyelids to come face to face with a very human Inuyasha.

"Kyaaaa!" with a shriek of terror, Kagome shot straight up and backed away from Inuyasha as best as she could with her now bulky body.

"……."

"……."

"̷ 0;…"

"……. What are you doing here?" she asked, her voice dripping with vemon.

"I-I had to see you again," he said, the hurt and months of guilt and shame evident at her obvious hatred.

"Why? So you could rape me again?!" she all but shrieked, raising her voice a decibel with each word.

At those words he visibly winced. "No Kagome. No matter how much I hate myself for that, there's nothing I can do to change that. But with my youkai blood gone, I can promise you, that it'll never happen again."

(Doesn't matter if it's wrong or right

'Cause by now I'm sure that I know

Never felt so undecided

Everything I've ever had had been taken away

Little boy so scared and frightened

All of the things that have happened

I'm surely to blame)

"I don't expect you to believe me, or even forgive me when I could never forgive myself, but I just wanted to apologise," he continued humbly. Kagome was shell-shocked needless to say. "If it'll make amends you may take my life."

"Oswari!" she yelled without warning.

Thud!

"First off I just wanted to make sure that you were still Inuyasha and not some imposter. Second, where the fuck do you get off that I wanted to see you or even want you to see me in this condition?!"

As if just now noticing that she was pregnant, he blanched and began stuttering incoherently as he slowly sat up.

"T-t…… who-whose baby is it?" he finally managed to get out after finally getting his thoughts into some semblance of order.

"Whose do you think it is fool? Yours of course!" she yelled, exasperated.

'You'd think he was completely useless with out his hanyou blood! How can he think me a whore?' she thought heatedly.

"Na-Nani?!" with that said it was his turn to faint.

Sighing, Kagome knelt down beside Inuyasha and smacked him as hard as she could.

"Wh-Wha?" he shot up looking around in every direction.

"You fainted baka."

"Feh, what did you expect wench?"

"Get the fuck out bastard!"

(Accept your fate then you'll be well but the truth is that it never ends

You can say that you've been through hell

But you'll always lose another friend

Never felt so unimportant

Everything I've ever said has been taken in vain

Little girl so scared and frightened

All of the things I do are still subject to change)

"Get out!" she shrieked again, tears beginning to leak from her beautiful eyes.

"*Get OUT!*" she shrieked for the third time, when Inuyasha failed to move.

"GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!" she shrieked emphasizing each word with a punch to his chest.

"Get out" she sobbed, and continued to murmur between sobs and hiccups as she dropped to her knees.

"Go back to Kikyou," she said at last in a defeated voice that crushed Inuyasha's heart and soul.

"What?"

"I said go back to Kikyou! I know you love her more! It was her name you were calling out that night! So just get out and go back to her! Do not taunt me so! I don't even know why you came here, but GET OUT!" she screamed, storming out of the room as she uttered those last words.

(My life served on a plate

For all of you to eat)

He stood there in utter shock. Kikyou? He hadn't thought of her since the last time she tried to drag him to hell. Where did that come from? Where did she get that he was calling out Kikyou's name instead of hers? But then again he had no memory of that night, save a few images here and there, so it might have been true.

With sudden decision Inuyasha chose to follow in the wake of Kagome.

"Kagome!" he called out as he followed her out of her room and down the stairs. Big mistake. As he was following her down the stairs he was assailed with a detailed memory of everything that had happened that night, causing him to pass out, yet again, the images overwhelming, and tumble down the stairs.

Kagome was already at the bottom of the stairs and headed towards the kitchen when she heard something, namely Inuyasha, go tumbling down the stairs.
