The sun had started to rise in the morning sky, but InuYasha was in a foul disposition. He shot a deathly glare at the bluebird that had suddenly started a cheerful song. The bird started for an instant and attempted once again to sing. Uttering a growl, he drew his sword and pointed it at the small animal.
"I am in no mood to hear that racket. Now shoo!" He snarled at the frightened creature. The bluebird then flew out of the trees, disgruntled and twittering angrily at InuYasha.
"Feh. Like I care." He grunted to himself. He was waiting in the ancient tree, looking at the Bone-Eaters Well. Kagome was supposed to be coming back today. She said morning. It was past morning. Needless to say, InuYasha was pissed for no reason.
"INU YASHA!" He looked down at the ground. Shippo and Sango were waiting there. They waved.
"GO AWAY! I'M BUSY!" He snapped at them.
"GOOD MORNING TO YOU TOO, HALF DEMON!" Sango, belittling him as always.
"IS KAGOME HERE
YET?" Shippo yelled up to him. God, InuYasha thought to
himself, I hate that little runt. Why can't he keep his trap
shut! Not that I care she isn't here…
"WHAT THE
HELL DO YOU THINK I'M WAITING FOR! THE MOON TO FALL! NO SHE ISN'T
HERE YET! NOW BUZZ OFF!"
Shippo's hurt expression could even be seen up where he was at. Oh sheesh… now look what I did, I nearly made the little fox cry… Damn conscious. InuYasha tried and succeeded in ignoring the urge to apologize to Shippo.
"I WAS ONLY ASKING! Sheesh… You know Sango, I
think he's really in love with her." Even though the second part
was not meant for his ears, he picked it up anyways.
Feh,
yeah RIGHT. I… I just want to get more shards is all!
Suddenly,
InuYasha felt a sharp pain in his chest and pitched forward. The
ground loomed up in front of him, and the world went black.
"INUYASHA?" He thought he heard Kagome cry out his name just
before he passed out.
"KAGOME!" InuYasha started and jerked forward, and suddenly feeling the pain in his chest again. He lay back down and sputtered quick, gasping breaths. What's wrong with me? He thought. Sango came quickly over to where his futon was at, kneeling down beside him.
"Oh my god, are you alright! You scared the hell out of Shippo and me when you fell like that! And the blood! It wouldn't stop, so we carried you back to the village where Kaede used her herbs to close the wound. We were sure you were going to die right then and there! And poor Kagome. She saw you fall just as she came out of the well. Luckily, she caught you, or your head would have busted open."
"…Blood? What blood! What's going on? Where's Kagome! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?"
"Calm down!"
"I AM CALM!"
"No, you aren't! Now just relax!"
"I AM RELAXED! I'M AS FUCKING RELAXED AS I'VE EVER BEEN!"
"…If you don't calm down right now, I'm going to knock you unconcious." She glared at him in the way he knew meant she'd do it. InuYasha took a deep breath.
"Good. Feel better?" He nodded, grimacing.
"…Do you know what's wrong?" Sango got a sad look on her face. She bit her lower lip and sadly shook her head no.
"…I …I'm so sorry" She suddenly looked a lot older than he knew she was. Then, she brightened her face and faked a smile at him. He knew it was a fake. But it was a good fake.
"It's okay. Not like it was your fault anyways." He said in a gruff voice, trying to sound as little comforting as possible, but he knew it wouldn't work and she'd see through it. She smiled at him, genuinely this time.
"Well, I'm glad you aren't dead. That's a positive for sure."
"Heh. At least not dead yet." She frowned, suddenly looking sad again.
"Don't joke like that…" InuYasha immediately felt sorry.
"Hey, I'm sor.." He cut short, the pain in his chest tightening again.
"RrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRAHHHR!" He growled and clenched his teeth, his body writhing in pain. Sango's eyes went wide in horror. Her face paled and her jaw dropped open.
"Inu…Yasha… YOU'RE BLEEDING AGAIN! DON'T MOVE!" She jumped up and ran from the hut, yelling for help and a doctor. The pain was blinding, his eyes phased out and he could feel his claws digging into his palms as he clenched his fists. He could only think of one thing at that moment, and nothing else.
"Ka… Kagome…" He uttered as he passed out, catching a glimpse of his robes staining with blood, and soaking it up.
The second time he woke up, his eyes did not open all the way. He heard voices traveling through the air, but could not discern what they were saying. To get their attentions, he attempted a growl.
"Urrrr…" Okay, so it came out as more of a groan, but it got their attention. He heard gasping and sobbing.
"Ka… gome?" he managed to choke out. Damn it hurt to talk. The sputtering and wailing that ensued confirmed that it was indeed Kagome. His hearing started to clear up, but he still could not open his eyes.
"… and I was so worried about! Are you okay? Please tell me you're okay! Oh wait! Don't talk… Um… Wiggle your left ear if you're okay." InuYasha wiggled his right ear. Kagome cried as a banshee would.
"I :hic: knew :gasp: it:sobsobsob: You're dying, aren't you! Left for yes, right for no…. WHAAAAAAAAAAAA!" InuYasha couldn't stand to hear her crying. He wiggled his left ear. She continued sobbing, but he didn't stop wiggling until she noticed.
"Oh! InuYasha! I wish I could hold you in my arms! But Kaede says not to move you… God, I was so worried, I climbed out of the well and you were falling! I barely had enough time to catch you!" She babbled on and InuYasha flushed slightly, at the thought that he would very much enjoy her holding him in her arms. Wait… what! What are you thinking man! Bad bad bad idea! She doesn't like you like that! Get your head out of the clouds!
Just then, Kaede's voice could be heard.
"Is he awake? I have something I must tell him in private." Kagome must have nodded, because he heard no reply, but did hear her get up and walk out when she was asked.
"InuYasha. You love Kagome, do you not?" InuYasha flushed and turned his head refusing, and still unable to answer.
"Ah yes, you cannot speak, can you? Well, wiggle your ears twice if no, once of yes. Now then. Do you love Kagome?" InuYasha flushed even more.
: wiggle, wiggle :
"Dear boy," the old woman chuckled, "I won't tell her. And she is not here to see the answer. I swear it; now answer with your heart. Not your ego." InuYasha went red again, but with anger and embarrassment. There was a long pause.
: wiggle :
"Ah ha. I thought so. What's happening is that your hearts are fighting." InuYasha made what he thought must have looked like a confused expression.
"Allow me to explain. You have two hearts. One demon, one human. Both are fighting over whether or not to tell Kagome your true feelings. And since you so deny it, they have decided that the heart surviving will tell her. But, if one of your hearts dies, you will either become fully human, or fully demon." InuYasha's face must have lighten up at the prospect of becoming full demon.
"Or, you will die. As it seems, you will die in this case, as it is causing you to bleed, and there is only so much I and the other clerics can do for you. In the end, you will have to tell her." InuYasha went pale, he could feel the blood draining from his face.
"Now I have this potion that will keep you alive, but only for three days. You have that long to tell her. Do you agree to do it?" Long pause. Long tiring, stifling pause.
: wiggle :
Kaede opened a small purple vial which she had produced for her robes. She popped open the top and poured the red liquid down InuYasha's throat. It looked scalding hot, but was icy cold when he swallowed it. All of a sudden, his senses rushed back to him and he felt elated. Getting up, he stretched and looked down at the old woman. She had given him a second chance.
"Tha.." She raised her hand to silence him. Then she nodded and smiled. He grinned back and walked out of the hut.
"Oh InuYasha!" Kagome flung herself at him and embraced him tightly. Flushing, he returned the hug and thought to himself.
…Three Days.
