Disclaimer: I did not create Inuyasha. I wish I did though. That means
that Inuyasha doesn't belong to me, so if someone tries to like sue me, or
something, I'll pull out a counter suit on you for stupidity. Stupidity
should be a crime.
Authors note: Most of the starting chapters will be this length. They are centered on Inuyasha for a reason, and are coming fast for a reason. Once I reach chapter 9 on, I will slow down considerably, and the length will grow. Descriptions are short for this reason, most of which is just similar to what you have already seen in the manga and anime.
Time reference: This story takes place after manga vol. 30, and I finished their current adventure.
Mind over Matter Chapter 2 - The Split
******************
Dawn broke on the sleeping half-demon. Inuyasha woke up to the sun shining in his eyes. 'Damn sun, always has to wake me up," Inuyasha grumbled in his mind.
'Don't forget, you better send her home today.'
"You won't leave me alone will you?"
'Of coarse not, this is to important to have you screw up.'
"You know it won't be easy"
'Are you sure that it will be hard? Here she comes now, trying to sneak of to her time. All you have to do is convince her to stay for a month.'
"I'll try."
'You better do more than try.'
Kagome was almost to the well and hadn't woken Inuyasha, which she counted as a small miracle. Suddenly a flash of red and white and Inuyasha was in front of her.
"Please Inuyasha, I have tests to take, and I need to get caught up with school"
Kagome's visits to the feudal era had become more prolonged, and as a result her grades had been dropping lower and lower.
"I had no intention of stopping you this time." Inuyasha replied.
Kagome was in shock. 'Did he just say he wasn't going to stop me?' She placed her hand on his forehead:
"Inuyasha are you feeling okay?"
"Of course I am, demons don't get sick" Inuyasha stated. "I just happen to need you to be in your time for a month"
Kagome almost burst with happiness "A whole month, are you serious?" Inuyasha nodded an affirmative. Kagome almost screamed for joy and gave him a big hug. "Thank you, Inuyasha!"
"I am going away to take care of a few things, so I don't want you to come over here for that month until I come and get you, clear?"
Kagome new there was a reason for his generosity. "What kind of things?"
"I can't tell you, but I don't want you to come back, because you could be attacked by a demon or something and I wouldn't be there to save you."
Kagome understood why he was being generous, but what was he going of to do. She decided to press for more information. "What is so important you can't tell me?"
Inuyasha tired of here curiosity, and didn't want to let any thing slip about his current predicament. "Just promise me that you will stay in your time for the month." Kagome was still curious.
"If you promise to tell me what you are doing"
"After I come back," Inuyasha replied, patience wearing thin. Kagome finally gave in and promised.
"Good." Inuyasha moved out of the way and went up into the trees. Kagome dismissed whatever thoughts she had and jumped into the well, returning to her time.
Back up in his tree Inuyasha resumed his conversation with his "conscience". "Well, are you happy now she's gone?"
'Yes, I am very happy; now we can get on with your training.'
"Training? What training?"
'The training you are going to need to be able to control your demon blood when it is no longer restrained.'
"Why is this happening and how the hell do you know all this"
'I guess I better explain what happened long ago and who I truly am.' Hours later, a good way down the road towards his destination, his "conscience" had finished explaining the story behind the sword's spell. "So let me get this straight: you are my demon side's personality, formed and trapped by this spell and is able to hold a conversation with me because its weakening, which was put on you to seal you because father was dying and wouldn't be able to teach me how to properly control my demon feelings, and he also gave you the necessary skills to teach me when I had matured and would be able to control my enhanced feelings, but the plan backfired because Kikyou sealed me to a tree, which only affected me, not the spell, causing the spell to wear of when am was 16 and not 66, and be trained quickly, instead of slowly reverting to it."
'That's about it,' his demon side replied. Inuyasha let out a curse and a sigh. 'I agree with you, this is not a very happy situation, and the training won't be very fun'
"So Naraku has screwed up my life even more than I knew," Inuyasha observed.
'To a point he has, but he also did something wonderful for you.'
That was enough to send Inuyasha into hysterical laughter. "Naraku! Help me?" Inuyasha managed to get out during his fits of laughter.
'Very funny Inuyasha, but if you think about it, because you were pinned to a tree and Kikyou was killed, Kagome was reincarnated with her power and a better personality. What angers me is that you cannot see what is directly in front of you.' As to accentuate that point, Inuyasha ran into a tree. Inuyasha let out a string of curses. 'You see Inuyasha, Kagome has a great personality and presence, and you enjoy being around her to the point of obsession that I would call love.'
"Feh"
'Deny it all you want Inuyasha, but playing the role of your conscience I know the truth.'
"So I enjoy being around her, big deal. She needs protection, more than Kikyou ever did." Inuyasha received what felt like a mental slap.
'Shame on you, Inuyasha. Still you do not see what is directly in front of you,' another tree came up, and being distracted, he slammed into it, again. More curses flew, but Inuyasha was catching on.
"You can control my body, can't you?"
'Very good Inuyasha. Yes, I can control you now a bit, and when the spell is completely gone, I will have full control of you.' Inuyasha was too shocked to respond. 'However, I know it is futile to fight you, so I will make a deal with you.' Inuyasha finally regained control of his thoughts.
"What kind of deal?"
'If you listen to me until the next new moon and follow my instructions, I will be able to blend with you, forming one personality. You will come out of this more powerful, a lot better with words, and near impossible to anger. I get to relax finally and not be worried about you screwing things up anymore, and will simple disappear, becoming one with you.'
"I guess I have no choice," Inuyasha thought.
'You realize though, that carrying all these bad memories around with you is eating you up and need to be confessed too. You need to reconcile with Sesshomaru, get on friendlier terms with the group, and eventually you will have to send Kikyou back to hell'
"WHAT! I haven't even accepted and you are starting to lecture me on what I have to do! What if I don't?"
'You know exactly what will happen. If you don't accept, I will take control, and you can say goodbye to everything you cherish. It is time to choose Inuyasha, what will it be? Life over death, love instead of hate, or the other way around, because that is what you are deciding when it comes down to it.'
Inuyasha thought a little more, did some thinking on where he would be for each situation, and chose.
"I'll do it, but that doesn't mean I have to like it."
'Very good Inuyasha, you have no idea how much that pleases me.'
"Just shut the hell up and get on with it."
'Very well, spoil sport.' With that Inuyasha disappeared beyond the veil of vines that covered the entrance to his home.
************* Admiral: Shed some light on the situation I have. More light to come.
Admiral: Thanks to Chri for pointing out that Inuyasha was a bit out of character. I was getting ahead of myself. This fixes the problem nicely, I should say.
~Chapter 3: Training Inuyasha receive some hate training. Poor Inuyasha has to put up with the insulting villagers, and they even try to kill him. But he gets them back, and shows that village some things or two.
