Bullets

Chapter 4


Bullets

Kagome slowly opened her eyes only to be greeted with darkness. Her body was numb, but she

felt it steadily coming out of its tired state. Her mind had a hard time comprehending

everything that happened to her, but she did her best to stay calm. Her first goal was to

figure out where she was. Her hands were tied above her head so moving anywhere was not

an option. She was on a rather large bed, and strangely she felt safe in it. She tried her best

to see anything but it was no use. Her hands began to ache from being tied so tightly so

she tried break her restraints by continually pulling on them.


'Come on Kagome. You are strong. You can do this.'


She pulled as hard as she could, but the bindings only became tighter. Tears began to form

in her eyes as pain shot through her wrists and hands. Panic overcame her as she thought

about her mother and how worried she would be. With everything that had happened finally

setting in, the tears spilled forth down her cheeks.


'Damnit! WHY ME!?'


She laid her head back down on the bed and relaxed her arms. There had to be a way out.

The scent of a cigarette caught her attention and she looked around the room to see if

she could see anyone. No sounds could be heard and nothing could be seen, only the scent

of a single cigarette alerted her senses. She scanned the room once more and this time a

bright orange glow caught her attention. It was the end of a cigarette. She swallowed her

fear and called out to the darkness.


"Who's there?"


She heard someone exhale loudly and she took a deep breath to call out once more.


"I said who's there? Please answer me.......please."


A few short seconds passed before the person answered her. To her dismay it was her captor.


"It is I, Inuyasha, little girl. Your worst nightmare come true."


She saw the end of the cigarette light up bright orange as he took a long drag. What

did he want with her? Why didn't he just let her go? She heard him get up from his

chair and walk slowly towards her.


"It sure is a beautiful night. You can see the stars for miles. A wise man once told me to

be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don't worry about

the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest."


Kagome turned her head to where she thought he was standing and stared, hoping for a

glimpse of this man.


"Why do you say such things to me Inuyasha?"


Inuyasha glanced toward the bed seeing the girl perfectly sprawled out with her hair

spread over his pillow. She sure was beautiful, but soon he would have to get rid of her.

If she was cooperative there was a chance she would live, but if she got in the way

or brought unwanted attention to him or his men he would kill her. She meant nothing to

him. He only needed her to lay low for a while, and stay out of their business. When the

time came he would chose her fate. To live? Or to die? That is the question.


"I say such things because you know nothing wench. You have no understanding of life

or it's meaning. You are simply a waste of human flesh."


"How do you know what I understand? You don't know who I am or where I came from!!" Her

voice was angry as she spoke and he knew he had hit a sore spot with her.


He bent forward and placed a hand over her mouth.


"Do not speak in such a way to me bitch. I will punish you for being disrespectful if I

have to."


He felt the girl pull back from him a little, but still kept his hand firmly in place.

He reached out his other hand and cracked the blinds open allowing the moonlight to

illuminate the room. Her face was beautiful no doubt, and for a strange reason he wanted

to reach out and trace every feature of it. The thought was quickly erased from his mind

as he felt her teeth bite into his warm flesh. He pulled his hand back fast and saw that

he was bleeding.


"Ah fuck! You stupid bitch!!!!"


He reached his hand out and grabbed her around the neck slowly sqeezing her delicate

flesh. He watched her eyes become wide and saw her mouth fall open gasping for breath.

He saw her fingers trying to untie the ropes and reach for anything they could grasp.

He smirked as her eyes began to slowly shut, but before she had a chance to escape

back into sweet darkness he released her neck and let her head fall back onto his pillow.

She was taking shallow breaths trying her best to shake off the numbness that was creeping

up her throat.


'How could one man be so cruel and inhumane?'


She saw him stare at her with no guilt, and she felt she would never get out of this

situation alive. Not with a beast like this. She knew he was predatory and that she would

never even beable to try to sneak out. It took her by surprise when she saw his

expression soften. How could one man....or whatever he was have so many emotions at one

time? She pulled back deeper into the pillow as he reached out for her.


He wanted to touch her. God, did he ever. He had no control over his hand as it gently

brushed over her cheek. So soft, so fragile. She looked like a broken angel lying there.

He wanted to fix her, he wanted to make this all go away. Why should she suffer because

of his lifestyle?


'Damn it all to hell!'


He grabbed both sides of her face and brought it up till it was mere inches from his own.

Her eyes held shock and fear as he locked his eyes onto hers. He leaned forward until their

foreheads were touching. She shook in his grasp and he smiled at her slyly.


"So beautiful." He whispered softly but she heard him loud and clear.


She was sure he was going to kiss her, but he only stared into her eyes as their foreheads

stayed connected. She shivered as she felt his hand glide smoothly up over her arms. His

nails traced over her skin and she let out a small sigh. 'What was he doing to her?'

She felt her restraints come undone and she instantly became a little more hopeful.

Maybe he wasn't as bad as he seemed?


Inuyasha looked at her as she brought her wrists down and rubbed them with her hands.

She looked into his eyes as he pulled away from her.


"Thank you." She didn't know what else to say at the moment.


He looked at her and let out a small laugh.


"You may be free from your restraints, but you are not free from this place. There is only

one door to get out through, and it must be unlocked from the inside with this key."


He pulled out a small gold key and it sparkled in the moonlight.


"I'm the only one who has this key, and the only one who ever will. There are a few windows

and no they don't have locks, but if you don't mind falling 100 feet to the ground, feel free

to get out through them. You are mine for the time being. In the outside world you have just

vanished, nobody has any clue where you are. You are mine in my own little hell, and here you

will stay. Don't give me attitude, don't give me lip, I have no problem punishing you. Do you

understand me?"


He watched Kagome slowly nod her head and he felt a little more at ease when she didn't put

up a fight.


"Good there is a shower to your left and I suggest you clean up because you look like shit.

When you are done showering you will join me in the dining room for diner. I left

some clothes by the shower. They may be a little big, but they will do for the time being.

What happens after that will be discussed at dinner. Do I make myself clear?"


Kagome looked up at him with hatred in her eyes. "Crystal."


He smirked as he walked out of the room to make dinner.


Kagome looked out the window at the stars and wished for this all to be a dream, but

she knew better, and her only goal was to make it out of it alive. She looked at her

hands and saw blood splattered on them. She reached up to touch her face and felt

dry blood there too. An exciting life is what she had always wished for, but this was

a little over the top. Maybe she would get answers with time, but until then she

would hold onto her life the best she could.


There is chapter four my pretty little funshines! Grammar,
punctuation, and formatting may be off, but please ignore it
for the time being. I will eventually go back to fix it, but
until then try to enjoy without too much bitching. Yes it was
extremely short, but I had to keep it that way for certain
reasons!!!! Thanks for all the reviews I really appreciate it
and it keeps me wanting to write more. Thank you to all my readers,
and an even bigger thank you to those of you who review. You make my day! :)
Oh yes, the quote about the stars is NOT mine. It was some other
smart persons!
