Hey everyone :) it's been a long ass time since I posted anything, but I've been plagued by dreams on a Inuyasha fanfiction I've been thinking about. This fic takes place after (SPOILER!) Naraku is destroyed in the final act, however, instead of wishing for Kagome to be sucked into the sacred jewel, he wishes for the jewel to shatter and scatter across Japan much like it did when Kagome shot it with her sacred arrow in the beginning. You know, 'cause Naraku's a huge troll :) So instead of reading about me rambling, enjoy :) I do not own Inuyasha.
Kagome's POV-
"Can't we stop and rest for a little while? We've been walking since five in the morning! Don't you want to stop and eat lunch?" I asked hopefully, causing Miroku, Sango, and Kirara to nod in agreement. Inuyasha, who was walking in front of the group scoffed before putting his hands behind his head.
"Tch, no way! We've already wasted enough time. We need to finish collecting the jewel shards," he barked, muttering to himself while I sighed and resisted the urge to 'sit' him.
"Oh come on Inuyasha. We're doing good! We have more then half the jewel complete," I urged, jogging so I was beside him, but he ignored me. "Ever since Naraku was destroyed you've been pushing us to collect the jewel shards more then ever. What's the rush? It's not like this is a race anymore," I offered, frowning at him in annoyance.
"Leave it to Naraku to make our lives a living hell even after death," Sango muttered, forcing me to stifle a laugh while Inuyasha scoffed again.
"Inuyasha does have a point, Lady Kagome. The sooner we complete the jewel, the sooner it'll be gone and we'll no longer have to worry about it," Miroku offered, as his hand twitched towards Sango's ass.
"Also, as demon slayers, it'll make our jobs easier in the long run. This way demons won't be able to harness the shards power, and it'll be easier to defeat them," Miroku explained, eyeing Inuyasha while Sango's hand pulled back to slap him. "However, I do believe it's a good idea to stop. A little break won't-"
"I sense the presence of a jewel shard!" I announced, cutting Miroku off and stilling Sango's hand. "There are a few of them. Three...no wait...four! Maybe even five," I panicked, turning towards Inuyasha with wide eyes. "I can feel a demonic aura, and it's big...and it's coming this way," I breathed, and watched as he smirked and unsheathed Tetsusaiga
Inuyasha held himself confidently, much like always, but my stomach stilled flipped uncomfortably, before a very uneasy feeling settled in my gut.
Inuyasha was strong, he was beyond strong, but for some reason I had a very bad feeling about the approaching demon, and knowing Inuyasha he would throw himself into battle like always. Nothing stood between him and the sacred jewel.
"I don't have a good feeling about this," I heard Sango whisper to Miroku, and I looked over to see him nod with a somber look in his eyes.
"The demonic aura is extremely dark, I don't like it. I haven't felt a presence so strong since Naraku himself," she explained before she looked at me. "Watch yourself," she warned and I nodded before turning back towards Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha I don't like the looks of this..." I said, pleading to him with my eyes to be careful. In return, his eyes softened slightly, but his grin never wavered.
"Tch this'll be easy," he assured, brushing my warning aside, like always. Before I had a the chance to argue, the bushes to the right of us moved, announcing the arrival of the demon, and earning an even bigger grin from Inuyasha as we sized up our opponent.
The demon was in his human form, and looked like a mix between Sesshomaru and Kouga. He had silky black hair that reached the middle of his back, and he had what seemed to be a light brown animal skin sweat band wrapped around his head, covering his hair line.
His skin was tan, and a black line on the center of his forehead branched out into two and crossed over the center of each eyelid and down his cheeks until it reached his jaw, resembling a large wish bone.
As for clothing he was wearing hide armor, much like Kouga's. The only difference was his armor was coated in blood, must like his claws, that flexed eagerly at his sides.
"Hmm, so this is what that wonderful aroma was," he sighed, smirking at me while Inuyasha tensed at my side. A menacing growl escaped from his throat, while his nostrils flared angrily and his eyes hardened, not once turning away from the demon in front of us.
"What is this? Some half-breed trying to be the hero?" the demon cooed earning another growl from Inuyasha who immediately jumped into battle.
"Inuyasha! He has five jewel shards. One in each of his arms and legs and another in his neck!" I called out, earning a single curt nod from Inuyasha has he continued to swing his sword at the demon, who simply dodged the blade each time.
"He's a coyote demon! Normally located on the mainland. They're known for teasing and mocking their enemies before savagely tearing them apart. Most male travel alone but they sometimes create a pack.
"They're very fast and very cunning, almost like large fox demon... just more violent," Sango briefed him, before turning to me, a worried look in her eyes. "I don't know what he meant by the aroma he smelt," she said, but judging by the look on her face, I knew she had an idea of what it meant.
"Didn't your father ever tell you not to travel when your bitch is in heat? A scent like hers may attract some demon ready to challenge you... like me," the demon purred earning a loud possessive growl from Inuyasha, but distracting him enough so the demon could throw him into a tree.
"Dammit! Miroku, don't let this bastard near Kagome," Inuyasha cursed before launching to his feet and heading right back into battle.
Miroku nodded, stepping in front of me with his staff at the ready, before sharing a knowing glance with Sango, who in return stepped forward.
Heaving Hiraikotsu back, she sent it flying towards the demon when his back was turned. However, as if sensing the weapon's approach, he turned, smirking at her before grabbing Hiraikotsu, spinning with it and sending it straight back at her.
"Sango!" Miroku yelled, jumping in front of her just in time to take the hit, sending them both crashing into a tree along with Kirara. I heard them scream in pain as they slid to the ground, Sango gasping for breath while Miroku clenched his stomach, coughing out little spurts of blood.
"Miroku! Sango!" I yelled, before turning back to Inuyasha and notching an arrow, aiming it at the demon that was currently slashing at Inuyasha repeatedly while Inuyasha attempted to get a hit with Tetsusaiga.
Just as I released the arrow, the demon grinned, grabbing Inuyasha's arms and pulling him into the line of fire before jumping back.
"Inuyasha! Watch out!" I cried, causing him to look up, eyes widening before he threw himself out of the way.
However, while dodging the arrow, he lost his grip on Tetsusaiga, causing it to fly from his hand, stabbing into a nearby tree and shrinking to it's dormant form.
I relaxed sightly knowing he wouldn't be hit by my arrow, but the relief was short lived when the demon appeared behind Inuyasha grinning sadistically.
Before I even had time to scream, the demon grabbed Inuyasha's shoulder, digging his claws into it, getting a solid grip on him and slamming him into a near by boulder.
"Inuyasha look out!" I yelled but before he even had time to look up, the demon grabbed him again, holding him in the air by his throat, choking him.
Inuyasha struggled against his grip, trying to pry his hand off his throat, but the demon simply squeezed harder, using the power of the jewel to enhance his strength.
"Ka-gome, r-run!" he choked out, his eyes pleading. Refusing to give up, I shook my head, struggling to notch another arrow with my shaky hands.
In one quick, fluid motion, the demon brought his free arm back, flexing his fingers before extending them, and stabbing them through Inuyasha's chest until he broke through his back.
Inuyasha let out a strangled cry, blood slowly seeping from the corner of his mouth, while the demon flexed his hand, slowly pulling it from Inuyasha's body.
I screamed loudly as tears sprang from my eyes, dropping my bow as my hands flew over my mouth.
Desperately, I turned around, pleading for help, only to find Sango attempting to pull herself to her feet, while Miroku remained on the ground, dry heaving. Sango dragged herself over to Hiraikotsu, struggling to lift the heavy weapon, causing a spark of hope to ignite within me.
Hearing a loud grunt behind me, I quickly turned around, freezing when I saw both Inuyasha and the demon disappeared. Panic immediately consumed me while my eyes racked the forest for anything red.
"Inuyasha! Inuyasha where are you!" I screamed, sprinting to the spot he and the demon were standing.
The earth was splattered with his blood, staining the dirt a deep liquid crimson, causing a strangled sob to escape my lips.
I was about to turn back to Sango when I heard the sound of fabric billowing in the wind, causing me to look up. Squinting against the sun, I saw a blob of red and white hurtling towards the ground.
Gasping, I ducked, just as the blob slammed into the boulder, crushing it under it's weight and sending debris flying through the air, nearly hitting me while Sango used Hiraikotsu as a shield, protecting her, Miroku, and Kirara.
When the dust cleared, my eyes immediately fell on Inuyasha's limp, broken form as a puddle of blood slowly formed beneath him.
"Oh god!" I cried, jumping to my feet and running towards him, only to be cut off by the demon. He smirked at me, letting out a sick laugh as he licked Inuyasha's blood from his claws.
Scrambling backwards, I dashed for my bow, just as a hand grasped my wrist, twisting my arm behind my back painfully. His other arm curled around my waist, securing me against his body.
"I've been following you for some time now, Bitch. Your scent is so.." he started before brushing his nose to my neck, inhaling deeply. "Alluring," he finishing, licking sensually from my jaw line down to my collar bone.
"Ugh that's disgusting! Let me go!" I screamed, thrashing around wildly despite the pain in my arm. He growled ferociously, before slicing his claws across my stomach, earning another scream while my knees buckled from the pain.
He pulled his arm away from my waist, only to pull my hair away from my neck, gripping it painfully like a make shift leash while he pressed his lips to my neck.
"You're mine, Bitch. No one can save you now," he cooed, causing my eyes to go wide as he pressed his lips to my neck once again. A chill ran down my spin as I pulled against his grip.
"Inuyasha!" I cried, voice cracking in desperation while the demon chuckled again, releasing my arm and wrapping it over my chest, pinning me so I couldn't move.
"Kagome!" I heard Sango yell, making the air around me thicken. The fear in her voice caused me to hyperventilate, shutting my eyes as I felt something poke the skin on my neck.
However, just as I braced myself for pain, I heard a disgruntled yelp from behind me, before the arms that restrained me were ripped away.
My eyes snapped open and I turned around, immediately focusing on the demon who was being pressed against a tree by his hair courtesy of a very angry Inuyasha.
Scratch that.. a very demon Inuyasha. His eyes, which were usually a topaz gold, were now blood red with turquoise pupils, accented by lightning shaped purple strips on his cheeks.
Inuyasha barked, literally, before growling at the demon, who coward under his gaze. The demon seemed to understand what Inuyasha had said, because he started whimpering, as if begging for forgiveness, but Inuyasha only smirked.
His free hand grabbed the demons shoulder, while the one gripping his hair tightened. Barking something else, Inuyasha ripped his arm back, tearing the demon's head right off his body.
He made quick work in collecting the jewel shards before his gaze turned to me, something I've never seen before flashing in his eyes.
I gasped softly, taking a step back in the process, but he was instantly behind me, gently pulling my hair away from my neck, stroking my pulse point with his thumb, causing me to shiver under his touch.
"I-Inuyasha?" I breathed, only to receive a quick, but gentle bark in return as he nuzzled my neck with his nose, inhaling just like the other demon.
My eyes flickered to Sango who was helping Miroku to his feet, and starring at us with a wide eyed, worried expression on her face. I could tell she wanted me to subdue him, but he was being so gentle that I could think straight.
Another bark caught my attention, followed by a soft, purring sound that vibrated through his chest. Pulling me closer to him, I gasped when I felt his fangs sink into my throat, making him purr louder.
"I-Inuyasha! W-what are you doing?" I asked, attempting to pull away, but he just wrapped his arms around me gently, holding me to him.
Within seconds the pain subsided and I felt heat spreading from the spot. It wasn't long until the heat reached between my thighs. "O-oh..." I moaned while my head rolled back to his shoulder as he continued to do, well, whatever he was doing.
After a few more seconds he pulled away, growling possessively, causing me to stagger forward as I caught my balance.
Spinning around, my hand flew to my neck as I starred at him. The red in his eyes slowly faded away, being replaced by his normal topaz eyes.
However, once the purple marks on his cheeks disappeared, his eyes immediately rolled back in his head, before closing all together as he fell to the ground unconscious.
"Inuyasha!" I yelled, dropping to his sides while Sango rushed over, leaving Miroku leaning on Kiara. The hole in his chest gushed blood, staining his kosode and the grass beneath him. "Sango! Grab my back pack!" I yelled, and she nodded hoisting the bag over her shoulder and running over.
I quickly set to work bandaging the wound, before wrapping my own stomach with gauze, while Sango retrieved Tetsusaiga and slipped it into it's sheath. Observing the bandages, I sighed, frowning as I packed my stuff away.
"That's the best we can do for now, We have to get him to Kaede's" I explained before turning to Kirara. She seemed to understand me because she immediately transformed into her larger self and grabbed my back pack between her teeth while I slung my bow over my shoulder.
Sango mounted Kirara first before turning around and helping Miroku and I hoist Inuyasha's limp body on. After helping Miroku up, I slid between him and Inuyasha, pressing myself as close to Inuyasha's back as I could.
"Let's go Kirara!" Sango commanded glancing over her shoulder at Inuyasha and I while I wrapped my arms around him to keep him from falling over.
Kirara quickly took off, soaring towards Kaede's village, but didn't take long before I could feel Inuyasha's blood oozing through his bandages, covering my arms.
Panicking, I pressed myself closer to him, applying pressure to the wound, while I buried my face in the back of his kimono. I couldn't help but notice how being pressed this close to him brought on a sense of bliss I've never felt before.
Feeling his heart beat through his back at a normal rate, I smiled, burrowing my face closer to him, and I could swear I heard him purring in contentment.
Glancing over his shoulder, I saw Sango glancing back at me, eyeing my neck with a worried expression. Smiling at her, I mouthed 'I'm fine', hoping to ease her mind.
In fact, I was fine. I felt better then I've had in a while. My stomach stung a little, but besides that I felt like I've just spent the day at a spa.
Her brow furrowed, but she managed to smile weakly at me before turning around. Rolling my eyes, I settled myself against Inuyasha's back as we continued the ride in silence.
After about two hours of traveling, we finally landed in Kaede's village. Sango immediately ran to Miroku, helping him off Kirara and leading him towards Kaede's hut, leaving me to take care of Inuyasha.
Pushing Inuyasha forward so he slumped against Kiara, I slid off her back gently so I wouldn't fall.
Once I was certain I wouldn't lose my footing, I planted my feet firmly on the ground, bending my knees slightly before grabbing Inuyasha's arm, pulling him towards me while I wrapped my other arm around his back.
With a soft grunt I pulled him off Kirara, gasping when his weight crashed into me. Grumbling under my breath, I regained my balance and readjusted my hold on him, before dragging him into Kaede's hut
Sango must have informed Kaede that Inuyasha needed medical attention, because a spare futon was already being rolled out while Kaede sat next to it with her supplies sprawled around her.
I laid Inuyasha down on the futon, with the help of Sango, who quickly returned to Miroku, who was leaning against the wall, sipping at some tea Kaede probably gave him before I came in.
"Can ye tell us what happened child?" Kaede asked while Rin brought a bucket of water over as well as a cloth. I helped them take off Inuyasha's kimono and kosode noticing how my hands and arms were still coated in dried blood, before placing my bow and quiver against the wall.
"A coyote demon with jewel shards showed up while we were traveling. Inuyasha rushed into battle like always, but he seemed even more defensive then usual.
"The demon was better, and smarter then we gave him credit for. He redirected Hiraikotsu, and pulled Inuyasha in the way of an arrow I shot. Inuyasha was able to dodge it but lost Tetsusaiga in the process.
"The demon used the distraction to throw Inuyasha into some rocks, and then.. he.. well he stabbed him through the chest. I don't know how he did it, but he was able to carry Inuyasha into the air and then slammed him into the ground.
"He was about to go after me when Inuyasha became full demon and killed him.." I trailed off, tracing circles on the back of Inuyasha's hand. "After he killed the demon, he passed out, so we came here," I finished, deciding it was better that she didn't know about Inuyasha biting me.
"What about ye, Kagome. Are ye injured?" she asked, her eyes scanning over my bloodied shirt and arms. Smiling I shook my head, allowing my hair to fall over my shoulder, effectively hiding the bite mark on my neck.
"I'm okay, Kaede. Most of this is Inuyasha's blood" I stated, gesturing to the front of my shirt. Sango's head snapped up, and she opened her mouth to protest, but I quickly grabbed a bag of chips from my bag and threw them at her, silencing her. "Sorry, Sango, I thought you might be hungry," I lied, smiling at her innocently.
Kaede and Rin continued to clean Inuyasha's wound in silence, while I watched them work, gripping Inuyasha's hand in my own as I rubbed circles on his knuckles with my thumb.
Smiling, I titled my head to the side as I watched him. He was breathing evenly, as if he was sleeping, and there was a ghost of a smile on his lips, which made me smile even more.
"Inuyasha will be fine," Kaede stated, causing me to jump in surprise, while she chuckled. "He will be asleep for a few hours, but his life is not in danger," she explained, while I sighed in relief and smiled at her.
"Kagome, dear, ye look exhausted. Why don't ye head back home and rest" Kaede offered, pulling Inuyasha into a sitting position as Rin wrapped his wound.
I opened my mouth to tell her no and explain that I'd rather stay by Inuyasha's side, but I noticed the blood that caked my arms and stained my clothes, causing me to wrinkle my nose.
"Maybe you're right...are you sure he'll be okay?" I asked, reluctantly pulling my hand away from his while Kaede nodded.
"Aye child, it seems Inuyasha passed out from fatigue. He will be awake by morning" she offered, smiling as she laid him back down, covering his forehead with a wet cloth.
"I'll be back by noon. I just want to take a shower and restock on supplies," I explained, heading for the door. Turning around, I took one last look at Inuyasha before smiling at the others. "Take care of him for me, okay?" I murmured, earning a nod from everyone in the room.
Walking outside, I stretched my legs and arms, wincing when the skin on my stomach pulled uncomfortably. Looking at the sky, I groaned when I saw that the sun was setting, which meant Souta was home, and dinner would be served soon.
Glancing back down at my shirt, I sighed. It wouldn't be the first time I came home looking like this, but whenever I did, Mama would fuss over me and Souta would beg for stories from the feudal era.
If that wasn't enough, the tears in the front of my uniform, where most of the blood had collected from holding Inuyasha, would make it look like I was severely injured. That was bound to make Mama freak out
"Well I suppose we'll cross that bridge when we get there" I stated to myself, picking my back pack up from the spot Kirara left it and heaving it onto my shoulders.
However, before I could even take a step forward, I heard someone's foot steps behind me. Turning around, I saw Sango who looked at me with a very worried expression.
"Kagome... I think you should tell Kaede about Inuyasha biting you. She might know what that means," she pleaded, glancing at my neck nervously.
"Relax Sango, it's just a little bite. I'm fine," I said, but her gaze kept shifting to my neck. "It's just an animal thing. My cat nips at my wrists all the time. It's kinda like a 'thanks for taking care of me' in animal speak" I explained, smiling.
It wasn't a complete lie. When Buyo was in a loving mood, he'd rub up against me before nipping at my wrists and meowing. I just didn't really know his reasoning behind it.
"Well... as long as you feel fine. You're probably right. It's probably nothing," she decided, but I could tell she was still nervous. With one final wave, I turned around and headed into the forest.
Thankfully, the walk to the bone eaters well was pretty quiet. Usually, Inuyasha, Sango, or Miroku would follow me in order to ensure my safety considering a demon usually made an appearance on the way there.
However, whenever I did come across a demon, their aura seemed to spike before disappearing all together as if it were afraid of my presence.
Being around demons for so long, I've noticed that when they come across a women in the forest, covered in blood and obviously injured, they almost literally jumped on her, either killing, or kidnapping her instantly. Did the others truly scare them that much that they didn't even want to be caught near me?
Deciding that I'd rather they fear being around me and leaving me alone then attack me, I continued to the well, jumping in effortlessly and allowing the familiar, blue blanket to envelope me.
After a few moments of floating in the time lapse, my feet touched the ground softly, before depositing me completely on the old dirt at the bottom of the well.
Looking up to make sure I was in the well house and not in the feudal era anymore, I started climbing the ladder Gramps and Souta made me to make my time traveling easier, or so they say. In my opinion I've always believed they just got sick of helping me out of the well all the time.
Glancing through the doors, I noticed all the lights upstairs were off, leaving the lights in the kitchen, dining area, and living area glowing brightly as the sun dipped under the horizon.
Sprinting towards the house in case someone came to visit the shrine, I threw the door open before rushing inside. Explaining my appearance to my family who knew about the feudal era was one thing, explaining my appearance to a complete stranger was something I never wanted to encounter.
"I'm home!" I yelled, making sure to keep my voice up beat so no one expected anything was wrong. I quickly closed the door before running up stairs to the bathroom, locking the door behind me.
I quickly stripped out of my grungy clothes, opting to throw them away and just order a new uniform, before turning on the shower, allowing the water to heat up.
"Kagome? Are you okay?" I heard Mama call on the other side of the door, gently rapping her knuckles on the wood.
"Yeah, Mama, I'm fine. Just a little dirty so I thought I'd take a shower before coming down for dinner," I explained, starring down at my stomach that was covered in semi-gruesome gashes.
In truth the slices weren't too deep and stopped bleeding a long time ago. Whatever the demon wanted, he intended on keeping me alive because the injury was meant to only stun me so I couldn't resist.
However, the lines themselves looked vicious, like I was attacked by some wild animal.. which was half true.
"Alright honey, don't take too long. Dinner should be ready in five minutes but we'll wait for you," she stated, and before I could object I heard her foot steps scatter down the hall and descend down the stairs.
Sighing, I stepping into the shower, and quickly got to work washing the dirt and grim out of my hair.
Rushing through my normal shower routine, I took a wash cloth and started scrubbing the dried blood from my arms.
Once I was certain that my arms were clean, I roughly scrubbed my neck, wincing whenever the cloth rubbed over the wounded flesh.
When I finished with that, I trailed the wash cloth down my throat, following the trail of blood until I reached my stomach.
Taking a shaky breath, I began scrubbing at the wound, gasping whenever I hit a particularly sensitive area of flesh.
With all the blood scrubbed away, it looked a lot less gruesome, however, I accidentally reopened the wound, which began oozing crimson blood that the water quickly washed away.
I quickly got out of the shower and grabbed some gauze, actually taking time to wrap my waist carefully this time.
Looking in the mirror, I brushed my wet hair aside and gazed at the bite mark on my neck.
The puncture wound was clean and deep, almost like a vampire bite, and was barely bleeding anymore. However, it was still very noticeable, so I quickly grabbed a large, square Band-Aid and slapped it on, covering it completely.
Throwing my hair in a messy bun, I wrapped my towel tightly around me before heading to my room and throwing on a nightgown and a robe.
Taking once last look in the mirror and nodding at my appearance, I decided I looked suitable enough to head downstairs.
Taking two steps at a time, I made it into the dining area just as Mama was placing dinner on the table. Souta and Gramps were already seated, sucking down some rice and curry, while Mama greeted me.
"Oh Kagome, you're right on time," she said, smiling at me and making me realize how much I missed her when I was gone.
Smiling back at her, I took my seat next to Souta and grabbed my chopsticks. The scent of curry, rice, and fried noodles assaulted my nose, making my mouth water.
"Wow, Mama! This looks delicious! Thanks for the food!" I said before greedily eating my rice and curry. Just as I was about to eat my last bite of rice, an unbearable wave of nausea hit me .
Dropping my chopsticks, I doubled over in my seat, gasping for air as my entire body heated up while my stomach flipped repeatedly, making it hard to breathe.
"Kagome! What's wrong?" Mama asked, her voice sounding panicked. Sucking in a few big gulps of air, I looked up at her, panting as my head began to throb.
I opened my mouth to respond, but my chest erupted in pain, causing me to cry out as I fell to the floor. Mama was immediately at my side, pulling me up while her forehead creased with worry.
"You're burning up," she stated, before turning to Souta. "Souta, go to the kitchen and make some of that tea that's in the green box. When it's done bring it to Kagome's room," she demanded, lifting me into her arms.
I let out another strangled cry while Mama ran upstairs surprisingly fast for a women who was carrying her sixteen year old daughter.
Once in my room, she laid me down, covering me with the thick blankets while I groaned in agony.
"You're going to be okay, Kagome, just relax," she pleaded, tears shining in her eyes. I let out another cry thrashing around while she tried to hold me down.
"Mama, it burns!" I cried, tears streaming down my face as I sobbed at the pain. My body felt like it was burning, but that was nothing compared to the searing pain in my chest.
"I know, Honey, I know. But you're going to be fine," she insisted, placing her hands on either side of my face, forcing me to look at her.
"Here's the tea, Mom," I heard Souta say, followed quickly by a 'thank you' from Mama. "Is Kagome gonna be okay?" he choked out, voice cracking unnaturally.
"She's going to be fine," she told him, bringing the cup of tea to my lips, and pouring it down my throat. I swallowed the disgusting liquid, groaning as another wave of pain hit me, causing me to cry out again.
"What is that stuff?" Souta asked when Mama handed the tea cup back. Mama sat down at the edge of the bed, while Souta took the chair at my desk, starring at me with a worried expression while Mama sighed.
"I don't really know. Her friend Hojo brought it over a few weeks ago when Grandpa use the 'fever induced insomnia' excuse. He said it's a special kind of tranquilizer that also reduces fevers," she explained, frowning. "I really hate the idea of tranquilizing her, but she's in so much pain.. I.. I just don't know what to do," she confessed, her lip quivering slightly.
They continued talking, but I couldn't hear them any longer. In fact I couldn't do a lot of things. I stopped squirming, and as I looked around the room, the corners of my vision blurred, fading to black until I couldn't see anything anymore.
"Inu...yasha..." I murmured, before succumbing to the blackness.
