Chapter 8- Inuyasha's Revenge and Kagome's Secret
“You're late.” he said to her, she shook her head and rolled her eyes at him before turning to look at the sidewalks beneath the building she felt him shift slightly even though they were quite a few feet apart.
“I only received your message about twenty minutes ago and from where I was it takes thirty to get here. Kagome said something about me helping you?” she turned towards Inuyasha to find that he looked extremely angry.
“Huh...I never said anything about you helping me....just stay away from Kagome and me....I'll save my brother and her sister on my own...understand?” before he left his fist met her stomach and soon afterwards met her cheek, before she could react he was gone.
Blood trickled out of her mouth as she stared in amazement at where she had last seen Inuyasha and slowly made her way home. She couldn't believe that Inuyasha, her Inuyasha, had actually hit her!
But she knew she shouldn't be surprised, after all he still despised Seeker with a passion, she wanted to tell him that it was her, she was the one that he hated because she had supposedly killed Sesshomaru.
She just couldn't bring herself to say it, she had to find Naraku, and find him before Inuyasha, or Inuyasha would be killed, or worse. She couldn't think about that, or wouldn't. She was about to change into her pajamas when a resounding pounding came on her door, she rushed to it and opened it.
She screamed as Sesshomaru grabbed her around the waist and turned her so that her back was pressed against his chest and his hand was over her mouth. She struggled desperately, screaming as loudly as she could when suddenly Sesshomaru let her go and she fell on the carpeted floor of the hallway, she looked up and saw that Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were facing each other in fighting stances.
“Inu...yasha....” she whispered trying to regain her breath, but before she could say anything else Sesshomaru was gone and Inuyasha was running after him, slowly Kagome stood up, but collapsed back to the floor finding she had no strength left to walk or do anything else and so she fell asleep right outside her door.
She woke up about thirty minutes later and quietly stood up and walked into her apartment and without caring called all of her friends and told them that they needed to come over because it was an emergency.
She stood in the middle of the living room looking at the four friends and when all their eyes were on her she touched her shoulder she heard the two boys gasp as they watched her change, immediately Miroku was stroking her butt and she slapped him hard across the face.
“So…you're Seeker, is that why you and Inuyasha were getting in such terrible fights?” Koga asked, Kagome nodded and he shook his head.
“Kagome, on my way here I met Inuyasha and he said that he was going after the person responsible for having Sesshomaru under his control.” Sango said, her eyes holding worry.
Kagome froze. `Does that meant that he's gone after Naraku by himself? NO!' she ran out of her apartment, searching desperately for Inuyasha's aura. She couldn't sense it anywhere.
But then the worst feeling aura that she had ever felt assaulted her senses, she knew who it was, even though she had never felt it before in her entire life. Naraku, and then she sensed Inuyasha's aura finally, and it was speeding towards Naraku's.
Without a second thought she detransformed and ran after the auras, thankfully there were no people in the streets to slow her down, and she soon caught up with Inuyasha and Sesshomaru, who were currently having an all out war.
She watched in desperation when suddenly Sesshomaru's eyes locked with hers and she felt her heart begin to pound as the familiar sensation flooded through her, but she blocked it and he gave a cry as her miko powers rose and pushed him to the ground, quite suddenly he was gone.
Kagome?!” Inuyasha cried turning to face his friend, Kagome went up to him and touched his face, she looked up at him sadly, and he was startled by the look in her eyes, what was wrong with her?
She seemed depressed and her eyes seemed to just confirm the scent that was around her, her scent was driving off the scent that Inuyasha had assumed was Naraku's, its lighter notes driving away the disgusting smell.
“Inuyasha…why did you go after him? Its dangerous.” she hugged him, her face buried beneath his chin, he felt her holding onto his jacket as though afraid that he would run off again and not come back, he put his arms around her and placed hi chin on top of her head.
“I can't let that bastard control my brother. Kagome, my mom and dad and sis have all been acting as though they can't move on…they can't really, because he isn't dead.” Inuyasha said, he felt her lean closer against him and he hugged her tighter against his body.
“I know that, Inuyasha…but please….for the love of god let Seeker take care of Naraku! What if he kills you?! What am I suppose to do if he takes you away to?!” she cried leaning back, then gasped putting a hand to her mouth, her eyes going wide in distress.
He moved his hands to her shoulders and looked into her eyes. “What did you just say, Kagome?” he asked, she shook her head as tears came to her eyes, she couldn't just blurt it out, she couldn't believe that she had said what she had already said.
“N-nothing.” she squeaked turning bright red as one of his hands moved up and brushed her tears away, he placed his forehead against hers and looked her in the eyes and she gulped.
“Don't lie.” he commanded softly, she dropped her eyes before she got the courage to answer his question.
“I…I don't want to lose you…like I lost mom and dad…and like I lost Sota…and Kikyo.” she whispered raising her eyes to meet his; he pulled away and looked into her eyes and gulped.
She stepped away and slowly raised her hand up, stopping before she actually touched her shoulder and revealed the secret she had kept for the longest time.
