Fallen Angel

Break In

A/N: I don’t own the InuYasha characters sadly. TT. LoL.

Brown stared at gold, both gazes unwavering. Kagome blinked once as her hair swirled around her eyes and she took her hand and tucked the stray strands behind her ear. InuYasha studied her, giving Kagome the once over. She cleared her throat.

“Interesting meeting you here.”

“I should say the same. I thought I was one of the only people in this campus who knew about this spot.” InuYasha answered back.

“You aren’t the only one who takes time out of the day to notice the beauty of nature around them.”

“Okay,” he quickly said back not wanting to start on bad terms with her, “so why don’t we sit down and discuss our lives and get to know each other a little better?”

Kagome looked at him questionably until she finally reached a conclusion that he wasn’t going to try anything with her and slid down the trunk of the tree and patting once a spot next to her for him to sit. He walked over and took the spot following in suit of Kagome by leaning his head against the tree.

“So I guess you are interested in my step-sister?”

“Step-sister? You guys aren’t fully related? Well I should have guessed you two have similar attributes but your skin is a lot lighter than hers and there are some differences. But no I’m not really that interested in her. She is a nice person but not my type.”

“Oh, I see.” There was an awkward silence after.

“So tell me a little about yourself.” InuYasha said breaking the stillness of the air.

“There really isn’t a lot to me. I’m pretty good in school I think, but other than that there isn’t anything to say.”

“Come on, you are one of the quietest people in the school and that is saying a lot. You are so mysterious no one knows a thing about you. Why are you so shy? It’s the last year in the school, you should let loose and enjoy yourself.”

“It’s a little harder for me to let loose. Actually…I don’t remember the last time I let loose.” Kagome muttered while staring into the sky trying to think about the last time she had fun with a group of people or even by herself.

“Wow, that has to be unhealthy for a person…” He was about to continue until the sound of Tupac’s “All Eyez On Me” started up. He pulled the small cell out of his pocket and flipped it open. InuYasha listened for a minute before talking back. Two minutes later he closed the cellular device.

“Just my mom checking on me.”

“Oh, and umm was that a Tupac song as your ring tone?”

“Yeah, how could you tell? Most people can’t. Do you like his stuff?” She nodded her head.

“Me too. I find his work inspirational despite all the other bad events surrounding his rep.” Kagome answered a little more strongly this time, now on a familiar topic that she could talk about.

“His poems and lyrics touch me in a way no other artist can. It feels like he is letting the rest of the world know what people in pain go through. He is giving people just a taste of what children who grow up in the ghetto experience everyday.” She paused for a minute, ”I’m sorry, whenever I talk about him I go into a mode and I can’t help but talk and talk. I know I must be annoying.” Kagome looked down in shame. InuYasha raised his hand to pat her back to tell her okay and he saw the fear in her eyes as he lifted his hand. She flinched when he brought his hand closer to her back.

“No, no, no. It’s alright. I’m not going to hit you or anything just wanted to tell you it was okay.”

“Oh” She visibly relaxed and her breathing returned to normal. He noticed she was becoming a little bit uncomfortable and decided to leave. He stood up and brushed off the dirt on his clothes.

“Well, I better be leaving now otherwise my mom will be worrying about me. It was nice talking to you we should do it again sometime. You are one of the only people I know who I can talk to about Pac and his shit. I will see you around.”

“Okay, I will see you around too I guess. Goodbye.” She watched his retreating back coming out the same way he came in. ‘Well I guess that wasn’t so bad. He is actually pretty normal and polite too, not the cocky jerk I made him out to be. Well I guess first impressions can be wrong.’ She sat a little while longer till she decided that it was time to go home deciding to skip out on going to the shrine today feeling tired physically and a bit mentally as well.

The sun slowly set in the background. All the birds climbing into their nests for a good nights rest and the crickets and other nocturnal animals coming to life. The moon started to rise in the sky casting an eerie glow on the surrounding objects.

Kagome reached her house but it looked unusually quiet. Even with Kikyo away for the night there should be at least some kind of light or movement going on inside. She was beginning to get suspicious and crept in through the back peering in every window. She got to the sliding door and found glass shattered on the ground everywhere and the door left ajar. Kagome was becoming scared, never being in a situation like this before. She walked slowly to try to get the phone on the counter without stepping on the shards of glass.

When she picked up the phone there was no dial tone. She clicked it once more but still no sound. She noiselessly put the phone back on the receiver and grabbed a knife and hid it behind her back. There was no noise in the house whatsoever making her footsteps give off an un-welcomed echo. Everything she passed was ransacked, priceless belongings strewn carelessly across the floor. Kagome could hear her heartbeat becoming louder and louder in her head. She stopped her breathing to strain to hear anything at all but no sound came. Where could her mother be in this mess and what the hell happened?

She heard a rustling coming from upstairs and the quick pounding of footsteps. Their house was two stories, a very high two stories making it difficult to just jump off of a window to escape. The only way down was through either the front or back door. Kagome debated in her mind whether she should venture upstairs to discover the origin of the footsteps. She grabbed a metal bar which broke off the coat hanger when it was knocked over. The footsteps frantically ran around upstairs. Kagome quietly started to climb the stairs but on the tenth step it made a loud creaking sound, echoing in house. The footsteps immediately stopped. Kagome quickly tip toed up the stairs, like the bottom of the house the top was no different. Everything was a mess.

Kagome glanced towards the end of the hall. She saw a shadow move into her sister’s enormous bed room. She was going to go after the mysterious figure but she also had no idea where her mother was in the mess. Not wanting to risk her mother’s life just in case she was in trouble, Kagome started looking in closets and rooms avoiding Kikyo’s room of course.

In the closet located next to her room, Kagome found her mother inside it gagged and bound with a small line of blood running down the side of her face. She went to go check her mother’s pulse when someone came up behind her and before she could look into her attacker’s eyes a hard object hit her in the head knocking her unconscious.

InuYasha came to school early the next morning because his father had an important business meeting and needed him to get out of the house. So he drove his black BMW into the high school parking lot. He emerged from his car and went toward the secret quadrant to maybe catch some more sleep since he had an hour before school would start. When he was closer to the tree he noticed a notebook and homework assignments left on the ground. The name shown clearly as he picked up the piece of paper, Kagome Higurashi. Well he had time to spare since he was early and there was really nothing else to do so why not deliver it to her house.

He gathered up her belongings and off towards his car. The black vehicle pulled up into the driveway of the quiet house. It looked unusually still. InuYasha walked up to the front door and rang the doorbell. He waited for a bit and rang the bell again. Someone should be awake in their house. This time he tried knocking but there still was no answer from within. He was just going to turn around and give her back the assignment at school when he stepped on pieces of glass laying on the walk way up to the front door. It was not just one but many. He turned around and examined the windows.

‘I can’t believe I didn’t see it sooner. This whole window is busted up. Where is Kagome and Kikyo and their mother?’

He peered through the broken window and found the house is disarray. He quickly made his way through the window and cautiously called out Kagome and Kikyo’s name. Whoever did this would not stick around till morning but he was still careful just in case. InuYasha did a small inspection of the downstairs and found no one. He then checked upstairs and ran across a body in the middle of the hall. He approached it with caution and turned it over. It was Kagome and he mother tied up in the closet. He quickly pulled out his cell and dialed 911, explaining the situation to them. The woman on the other line assured him that a unit would be over soon. He put his cell phone away and leaned over the small pale body that was Kagome. She was still breathing as was her mother. There was blood all over her clothes and the floor staining the off-white carpet to a deep red. Also a nasty cut adorned her face and by the looks of it she would need stitches while her mom just had a small cut by her ear. Who ever did this apparently had no heart. Knocking out an unarmed middle-aged woman and teenager then leaving them in this predicament. It was horrible and disgusted InuYasha. He heard the lock on the front door downstairs start to move. Someone was coming in the house. He assumed it was the police or medical help but he at least thought he would hear the sirens. But knew he was wrong once he heard her voice.

“Mom, I’m hom… what the hell happened here? Oh my god! Mom! Mom!” InuYasha stepped away from Kagome and looked at Kikyo from the top of the stairs.

“Your mom and sister are up here and they are hurt. I have already called the paramedics.” Kikyo was very surprised to find out that InuYasha was in her home. She was also surprised and a little pissed that her mother got hurt. In her conversation with her father about this break in to punish Kagome there was no talk about her mother being involved in it, but she probably got in the way of what the hired attacker was doing. Kikyo put on a fake face of distress and ran upstairs to meet InuYasha.

She met him at the top and took one quick look at Kagome and her mom before pretending to break down and clung to InuYasha while crying.

“How could this happen to them? Oh I hope they are alright.” He put his arms around her and began to rub her back to comfort her. He felt bad that she had to come home to see her family this way. He had no idea that she was faking it all. But as soon as he put his hands around her the sirens were heard outside. The medical technicians came in through the door. InuYasha pulled away from Kikyo and shouted to the men that the victims were upstairs. The men came up the stairs and loaded the two women on stretchers and went back out to the ambulance.

‘Damn it, just when I finally get close to InuYasha these guys come in. Well I guess I better accompany them to the ambulance then get ready for school.’ She walked past InuYasha who was now being questioned by the police about what had happened.

By the time InuYasha and Kikyo finally reached school the word had spread about the attack on her family and everyone was very sympathetic. They all comforted Kikyo as much as they could and she relived the moment of when she came home for who ever wanted to hear. Once again proving that she was the most popular in the school.

One Week Later

“How is she doing doctor?”

“As you know she had a mild concussion and has been out for a week but she will wake up anytime now so need to worry young man.”

The doctor continued to converse with another person as the voices flooded Kagome’s mind. A searing pain shot across her head. She moved a little and felt stiff there were things sticking out of her hands and an IV line next to her. She could hear the heart machine beeping and could smell all the medicine and antibiotics. She was in the hospital but how did she end up here the last thing she remembered was being in her house. Then it all came back to her, the attacker, her mom, and the ransacked house. She immediately shot up, opening her eyes being blinded by the bright lights from the window. Kagome looked around and saw the doctor and white-haired male.

“Oh, I see she has awakened. I will leave you two alone to talk.” The doctor grabbed his clipboard and walked out the door leaving Kagome with InuYasha.
