Inuyasha Fanfic

When the Rosary was created, it was meant to tame wild yokai. Was it to stay on their neck forever? No. Once tame, the yokai are released from its hold by the miko who uses the word of subjugation. But there was a back up plan to the rosary that very select priestesses knew about and wrote about. If the rosary is still used frequently and the yokai isn't tame, soon the rosary takes action. Like I said, most priestesses knew this, Kagome didn't. And she had been using the rosary for all the wrong reasons. So what happens when the rosary decides its time to use the back up plan on a certain inuhanyou?

Chapter 1

Inuyasha, sit!

That's what Kagome always says to Inuyasha whenever he gets under her skin. When he wouldn't let her go home, sit! When he argued with her to the point she was speechless, sit! When he stayed secluded and kept to himself, sit! When he spoke the blunt, hurtful truth, sit! And the list went on and on…

That was why the hanyou found it very peaceful as Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kirara, Kagome, and himself traveled in silence as they continued their journey back to Kaede's village. To him, silence was much more preferred than the constant bickering that had been going on the past couple of days. No shouting, no witty comebacks. Just complete silence, peace. A time to think, to wonder what the heck was so important that Kaede needed them back immediately?

Either way, the six needed to hurry and find camp. The new moon was tonight and Inuyasha wasn't about to be some demon's next meal. Even if he despised his human form it was a part of him. Might as well make sure that that part of him stayed alive.

As they continued down the large rut of the valley they had been crossing, the blanket of silence was cut when Shippo whined, "I'm hungry Kagome!" Great, Inuyasha thought, more of the runt's whining. We need to go to make camp and the brat has to hold us up.

"I suppose everyone is hungry, right?" Kagome asked as she turned around. When she saw four of the six heads nod in agreement, the miko smiled and sat down.

As she began to go through her large yellow bag, Inuyasha frantically tried to come up with an excuse to leave. "Um, Kagome, do you really want to eat in the middle of an old battlefield?" Perfect, he thought. It was true. They were in the middle of a battlefield, you could tell from the scattered bones and weapons that were semi-embedded in the ground.

"It's alright, Inuyasha." Kagome replied, oblivious to the anxiety that had shown in his amber eyes when she answered. "It's only for a little while. We'll be off as soon as nightfall comes around."

"I was afraid of that." He mumbled.

"Afraid of what?" She asked. He slapped a clawed hand to his forehead. How could she possibly forget? Is she really that dense?

"So I'm dense am I?"

Oh shit. Had he said that out loud? The futuristic miko stood quickly, her sapphire eyes practically screaming I'm pissed. "Well you know what Inuyasha. I try to be nice to you and I try to help everyone. I can't always know what's going on with you all the time! I can't believe you're really being such a jerk just because we're sitting down to eat!"

"I didn't say you had too, Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled back. It was obvious that this was not going to end well. "And I'm not mad because you guys are sitting down to eat! And even if, I can't be mad that the brat just decided to whine that he was hungry!"

"Why do you have to bring Shippo into this, huh?" Kagome retorted, "And why do you always have to be so mean to him, huh? He's just a child, Inuyasha!"

"He maybe a child, but he ain't a pup, Kagome!" He angrily yelled, "You don't have to treat him like some spoiled brat who is to fragile to deal with shit. Stop treating him like he's a newborn!" (A/Y/N: Wow, they got completely off topic)

The miko's eyes erupted with anger. "Don't tell me what to do!" Oh, no. I can already tell what's going to happen. She's gonna sit me. Suddenly, a painful feeling shot up throughout his body.

Don't. A voice called out from the very depths of his mind. It sounded husky and deep. Don't let her sit us. It was his demon side.

What will happen if she does, he wondered.When his demon side came to plague his mind it was either when he was severely wounded or when it was Mating Season. Neither was happening right now. Something was wrong. A feeling of survival washed over him. You felt that too, right?

Yeah.

Something will go wrong if she sits us again. We can feel it.

Kagome's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. "Inuyasha, osuwa-"

"Kagome, stop!" Inuyasha exclaimed. That did make her stop, but not because he told her to. Inuyasha almost always just let the upcoming sit happen, he never yelled at her to stop. "I have a feeling something bad will happen to me if you do that."

"Yeah, you'll be plummeted to the dirt." Shippo the kitsune answered after giving his eyes a good roll. What was Inuyasha stupid or something?

"I'm telling you, you can't sit me."

Inuyasha didn't even have time to regret his wording because as soon as they left his mouth, Kagome got the wrong idea. "Oh, so now you're challenging me then?"

"No that's not what I-"

"Inuyasha, osuwari!" The hanyou was instantly slammed into the earth. "Osuwari, Osuwari, Osuwari!" As the multiple spells ran their course, a wave of unexpected pain washed over him. It was as if a force had just invaded his body and grasped his soul: hard. Suddenly, he felt a piece of him start slipping away along with his grasp on consciousness.

-x-

When Inuyasha's eyes fluttered open, the sun's bright rays there to greet him. He lifted himself up abruptly, immediately groaning and clutching his throbbing head.

"Inuyasha, you're awake!"

The half demon turned his head to see Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kagome already packed up and ready to continue on. He lowered his hand from his head and looked around. They were now in the forest, lush green as far as the eye could see.

They must've set up camp after… Inuyasha blinked a couple times, What had happened to me? He scanned himself up and down to make sure there were no injuries. There were none. He checked his arms shoulders… Wait, he gasped, when did the rosary turn as red as crimson? He tugged on the beads for closer inspection. Yup, no doubt about it. They were a deep red now, the five fang-looking beads slightly pink at its tips.

A sudden rumble caught his attention. His stomach. That's right, he thought, I didn't eat before I…something happened. He opened his mouth to tell the others he was hungry when chopsticks and a bowl full of rice and fish were handed to him by Sango. He nodded in thanks and proceeded to dig in.

"So," Inuyasha said between mouthfuls, "what happened that I passed out yesterday?" His companions gasped in shock.

"You mean, you don't remember?" Miroku asked, baffled.

"No. Did…something important happen that I should remember?" Inuyasha asked as he temporarily lowered the bowl of food and chopsticks from his mouth. He noticed Kagome playing with her hands nervously. Did she do something wrong?

"Well," Sango started, "we began to sit down to eat in a rut between the valley and forest when you and Kagome began to have a heated argument." Sango's chocolate orbs for eyes looked at the hanyou's amber ones, his silently asking to continue. "Kagome…she was about to sit you when you told her to stop. You said you had a feeling that something bad was going to happen and that she couldn't sit you. Which only goaded her on to sit you four times. That's when you lost consciousness. But, then," Sango looked down at his rosary, "when we went to lift you up, Miroku saw that your rosary had turned red. We assume it means it's more powerful, but we're going to ask Kaede just in case."

As they waited for him to swallow the news, Inuyasha simply shrugged and picked up the bowl again. "Oh, so that's what happened." They all gasped again.

"You're not mad?" Shippo asked cautiously. The hanyou that could get mad at a twig snap was now not even furrowing his eyebrows!

Inuyasha swallowed a lump a food he was chewing. "Should I be?"

"YES!" The other four yelled out in unison.

"You without anger is like Mr. Houshi over here not being a hentai!" Sango shouted.

"Sango, love, I am hurt you would say such lies."

"It'll be a lie when hell becomes as cold as a mountain top." She retorted.

"Well," Inuyasha began as he put the empty bowl down and stood up, "I'm not. So can we just get going? Please?"

As he began to walk away, Sango leaned over to Kagome to whisper in her ear, "This is very unlike Inuyasha. Not getting upset? Saying please? Something has got to be wrong." Kagome nodded in agreement.

"I'll go ask him about it later." Kagome assured her best friend, "Right now, let's just enjoy the peace."

As the group traveled back to what was now modern day Tokyo, their leader seemed to be too abnormally calm. At first they were grateful that the sudden anger had stopped. That was just a given. But as they continued on their journey, it was like he didn't have the drive anymore. Koga didn't even want to stay long because goading Inuyasha on (besides trying to win the affections of a certain young maiden) was one of his most important reasons for being there. Inuyasha just…wasn't angry. Finally, when they decided to make camp for the night, Kagome decided to take a walk with Inuyasha, who hesitantly accepted.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

"Hmm, what is it Kagome?" Inuyasha asked back. It was weird enough that they just decided to have a walk out of the blue. And when they did, he was usually the one to initiate it.

"You can tell me what's wrong, you know that, right?" She told him.

"Wrong with who?" He wondered. Was there something wrong with one of the members in the gang?

"Wrong with you!" Kagome yelled in reply. How could he lie to her face?

"Kagome, there's nothing wrong with me." The hanyou said calmly. Calmly. Now that was something she didn't like.

"Oh, c'mon, Inuyasha!" Kagome continued yelling, "First, you wake up and find out I 's' you to the point you fell on conscious. Then, you learn that the rosary has gotten more powerful. And to top that, a visit from Koga. Now, do you see there is something wrong? Why are you lying to me?" Her sapphire eyes started to become glazed.

"I'm telling you Kagome, nothing is wrong with me."

That time tears started to poor out of those beautiful orbs for eyes he loved. "Inuyasha you're such a jerk! Osuwari!" And with that, she didn't even glance back as the inuhanyou was slammed into the hard soil while she ran off back to camp.

Suddenly, a tidal wave of pain washed over his entire being as something came in once again, stealing not just something that was a part of him, but consciousness as well.

-x-

When the hanyou woke up the next day, he was alone in the forest. What the heck. Why am I in the forest? That was the first thing that came to his mind. Did a yokai attack him? Did he turn yokai and attack it instead? What happened? Then he remembered one thing: Osuwari!

Suddenly the hanyou's beautiful amber suns became glazed. How could Kagome sit him again? What could he have possibly done to have upset her? He did nothing wrong yesterday. In fact, he was the most obedient person you could ever meet. So, why was she that cruel?

One, two. One, two. The tears just started pouring from his cheeks. They wouldn't stop no matter how much he wiped them away. Why was he so emotional?

Slowly, he trudged off to camp, were a miko, taijiya, kitsune, and monk would surely greet him.

-x-

"Inuyasha can be such a jerk! First, he lies to me saying nothing's wrong but there is! Then, he has the nerve to not come back all night?" Kagome continued to rant and rant to her best friend Sango, who kept nodding in agreement, becoming just as angry as the miko next to her.

"Maybe, there was a reason he was out." Miroku chimed in. No matter what, Inuyasha was his best friend. Friends stick up for each other.

"I can give you one." Kagome started as her anger began to turn in to sadness. "Kikyo. I guarantee he was with her."

"Well, we'll just have to see what he says when he comes back. I mean you can't just assume things without hi- And speak of the demon! Inuyasha!" Miroku called out. There he was! Now he could explain to Kagome everything!

"Inuyasha!" Sango yelled out as she stomped towards him. "Where the hell were you! Worrying Kagome like that! You are so inconsiderate and- Oh my God." Sango suddenly stopped right in front of him. "Inuyasha, what's wrong?"

That's when everyone had to come and see. And once they did, they all gasped in shock. Inuyasha's eyes were bloodshot. His nose red and his face pale with a current of salty tears streaming down his cheeks. Inuyasha was crying.
