InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Weeds ❯ Gone ( Chapter 6 )

Chapter 6: Gone

 

Kagome held Shippo close to her as they sat on a hard, dirty bed. They were locked in a small room, or cell. It was dark and cold. The room smelled of mildew and blood stained the walls. What was going to happen to them? Where they going to die? Would Inuyasha save them? Kagome was terrified, but she tried not to show it so Shippo wouldn't get very scared.

 

“Mommy? What's going to happen to us?” Shippo asked.

 

“I don't know baby. I won't let anything happen to you. Don't worry, I won't let them touch you,” she promised her son. The only way she would let anyone touch Shippo would be over her dead body.

 

Footsteps rang out through the hallway and Kagome felt Shippo flinch with each step. The door opened to reveal Jaken standing there. “Come with me, wench,” he ordered.

 

“What about my son?” Kagome asked.

 

“He stays here. Don't worry we won't hurt him yet,” Jaken said.

 

Kagome stood and felt Shippo grab on to her clothes. “Don't go mommy,” he whispered with tears in his eyes.

 

“Don't worry honey. I'll be back in no time,” she smiled holding his hand. Shippo nodded and let go of her. Kagome followed Jaken out of the room, without looking back at her son.

 

“This way wench,” Jaken snapped and pushed Kagome forward. They walked down the long hallway until they came to a pair of double doors. Jaken pushed them open and pushed Kagome into the room. She fell forward in front of a desk. She heard laughter and she looked up to see Sesshomaru smirking down at her.

 

“Stand up Kagome,” he ordered.

 

Kagome stood and straightened her clothes a bit. “What do you want with me?”

 

“All your secrets. Jaken leave us,” he snapped. Jaken nodded and left the room. Kagome watched Jaken leave and fear crept up her spine. She was alone with Sesshomaru, the most ruthless man alive.

 

Sesshomaru stood and walked over to Kagome. He gripped her shoulder causing her to jump and look at him. “Why are you so jumpy Kagome? I'm not going to do anything to you yet,” he said.

 

“I'm not in the business anymore. I won't tell you anything!” Kagome spat at him. He growled and moved his hand to grab her neck.

 

“You'll tell me whatever I want girl. Don't push me,” he snarled tightening his grip. Kagome's hands instinctively went up to grab Sesshomaru's arm. Kagome found it harder and harder to breathe by the second.

 

Sesshomaru loosened his grip and asked, “Now, are you going to tell me what I want?”

 

Kagome nodded her head trying to get air into her lungs. He let her go and sat her down on the couch that was against the sidewall. “Where did you get that pot?” he asked as he stood in front of her.

 

“I grew it myself,” she lied, but didn't show any sign of it.

 

“Where? My little brother was at your house every week and he never found it,” he said.

 

“At a greenhouse. Why do you want to know all this stuff anyway?” she asked.

 

“Because my business is going down. People are getting more tolerant to the stuff I'm selling and they want something that's more powerful. I need your stuff,” he stated.

 

“The only thing special about it is that it's natural. No chemicals or additives,” she said.

 

“Where is this greenhouse?” he asked.

 

“Like I'd tell you!” she snapped. Sesshomaru growled at her defiance and knelt in front of her. He held both of her hands in one of his and pushed her back.

 

“You'll find that I can be very persuasive girl,” he smirked and grabbed her chin. He pushed her head to the side and ran his tongue across her exposed neck. Kagome shivered in fear and shut her eyes tightly. She whimpered and tried to pull her hands away from his.

 

“Now are you going to tell me what I want to know?” he asked sweetly.

 

“Why would I tell you anything? Why don't you just let me and my son go? I am no use to you anymore,” she said.

 

“I have a very big use for you dear. You see my little brother has fallen for you and you are the perfect bait for him. Any moment now he will come running into the premises and when he does you are going to kill him,” he smirked.

 

Kagome's eyes snapped open and she stared at Sesshomaru in shock. “What? Why would I kill him?” Kagome asked.

 

“Because I have your son,” he said.

 

“You wouldn't!” she snapped.

 

“I'm a drug dealer Kagome. I'm not afraid to do anything,” he stated. Sirens could be heard in the distance and Kagome's head snapped up.

 

“No…” she whispered.

 

“Right on time! Let's go Kagome,” he smirked and pulled her out of the office. He led her down the hallway to the staircase.

 

They got to the front door and Jaken was already outside holding Shippo. Cops cars surrounded the front of the building and they all got out baring guns. Inuyasha stepped out and walked slowly to the front door.

 

Sesshomaru handed Kagome a gun and said, “Go kill him or Jaken will kill Shippo.”

 

Kagome looked at the gun and cocked it. She pointed the gun at Inuyasha and walked toward him. When it came down to it could she really kill him?

 

“Kagome? What are you doing?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“I'm sorry Inuyasha, but he has a gun to my son's head! What else am I supposed to do?” Kagome asked as tears spilled down her cheeks.

 

Sesshomaru walked up behind her and whispered in her ear, “Kill him. If you do you and your son will go free.”

 

Kagome let out a sob and she started to tremble. She didn't know what to do. She looked over at Jaken who was pointing to gun at her. What was she going to do? Her mind was racing. A gunshot echoed through the courtyard and Kagome gasped. She fell to the ground gripping her stomach. She laid as if she was dead and Inuyasha ran over to her. Sesshomaru growled at how his plan was ruined.

 

He looked up at Jaken and saw that he was the one who shot Kagome. Shippo got out of Jaken's grip and ran to his mother. Kagome then gripped the gun and shot Jaken. She then pointed it to Sesshomaru, knowing he was armed. The cops then took action and grabbed the injured Jaken and the armed Sesshomaru.

 

Inuyasha held Kagome up and she dropped the gun. “I'm sorry Inuyasha. I tried,” she whispered.

 

“You did great, Kagome. There is no reason to be sorry. You did nothing wrong,” he said.

 

“Mommy?” Shippo asked.

 

“Hey there. I want you to go with Inuyasha okay? He's going to take care of you from now on. Be a good boy and don't give him too much trouble,” she smiled.

 

“You're coming too Mommy. You'll always be with me!” Shippo said as he cried.

 

“Yes I will, but I'm afraid I'm not going to make it passed this night. I love you honey. Please tell Souta that I love him too. I need you to be strong for me okay?” Kagome said running a hand through Shippo's hair.

 

“Don't say that Kagome. You'll make it,” Inuyasha said.

 

“Please take care of my little boy Inuyasha,” Kagome begged.

 

“Of course, and you're going to be there with me,” he said watching her pain-filled eyes go dull.

 

“I love you Inuyasha. Don't ever change,” she whispered as her body went limp. Inuyasha set her on the ground gently and Shippo hugged his mother's body. He sobbed into her chest and Inuyasha ran his hand over his back soothingly.

Inuyasha watched Shippo play with Kouga in the park. It had been a couple months since the incident and Shippo was healing slowly. He had lost his father then six months later his mother died. Inuyasha understood what he was going through.

 

“Hey Shippo! Come and eat!” Inuyasha called out getting sandwiches out of his backpack.

 

Shippo ran over to Inuyasha and sat next to him. He grabbed a sandwich and ate it silently. Shippo hadn't talked since the day his mother died. Inuyasha figured it was because he saw his mother die right before his eyes.

 

“Is the sandwich good?” Inuyasha asked.

 

Shippo nodded and looked down at his lap. He wanted to say something, but he just wasn't ready for it. He felt as if he shouldn't talk unless he had gotten used to the fact that his mother was dead. He continued eating, knowing that Inuyasha was watching him.

 

Kouga sat in front of Shippo staring at him. He wanted some food, but he could feel the sadness radiate off of his playmate. Kouga lay down next to Shippo and his head in his lap.

 

Shippo patted Kouga's head and gave him the rest of his sandwich.

 

“Are you ready to go kid?” Inuyasha asked.

 

Shippo nodded and stood up. Inuyasha grabbed his bag and began walking to his car. Shippo reached out and grabbed his shirt to stop him from walking.

 

“Thank you, Father,” he whispered.

 

Inuyasha smiled and put his arm around Shippo's shoulders. “No problem, kid. Come on let's go get some ice cream,” Inuyasha said ruffling Shippo's hair.

 

“Okay,” Shippo smiled and walked with Inuyasha and Kouga to their car.

 

He may not accept that his mother was dead, but he was going to move forward one step at a time…

 

The End!
