Shirudo's POV
As I woke up, the first thing I noticed was pain. Horrible, searing pain. I gasped, and closed my eyes, biting my lip as another wave hit my shoulder, the one that had been wounded. It felt like it was burning with hellfire, and if not for the lack of the scent of smoke, and the stiffness in my joints, I probably would have turned my head to make sure it wasn't. Tears pricked the corners of my eyes as a agonizing burning sensation flowed through my veins, and I let out an involuntary whimper.
"Oh, good. You're awake," A voice chirped nearby. "How are you feeling? You just passed out outside!"
I turned my head towards the cheery - and definitely female, no male was that perky - voice, to determine who was speaking. As soon as my eyes lit upon their face, I felt like I had short-circuited. There was a girl who was wearing strange clothing, and she had a face and scent like Kikyo-nee's, but she was much too young to be Kikyo. Kikyo-nee had had kids, maybe? But she only ever remembered Kikyo-nee being with that half-demon. And last she had checked, she had woken up before Inubaka, so this girl would have to be helluva lot younger to fit the timeline correctly.
As she surfaced from her musings, she saw the girl giving her a strange look. Oh, shit, she had said that out loud, hadn't she?
The girl chuckled, and smiled at her with clear amusement on her face. "Yes, yes you did." Then she frowned, before poking me lightly in the chest. "First, let's get one thing straight. My name is Kagome Higurashi, and I am not Kikyo. Nor am I related to her."
I giggled, but soon stopped as pain ripped through my shoulder again, causing me to wince. Kagome gave me a look of sympathy, before taking out a weird shaggy cloth and dipping it into a pan of cool water next to her, squeezing it until it was only a bit damp, and then placing it on my forehead. "Your shoulder wound had poisonous youki in it, and it isn't the fatal kind, but you emdo /emhave a small fever. I suggest you lie down for a bit before moving. I know you Inu Hanyou heal fast, but don't push it."
She moved to get up, but then a very, very familiar inu hanyou burst into the hut, his Robe of the Fire Rat still a bright red. I stared at him for a second in horror, before pointing at him and shouting, "INUBAKA! IT'S YOU?!"
He froze, and looked at me with a twitching eyebrow, pushing up his sleeves. "Only one person calls me that...IT'S YOU, THE LITTLE BRAT WHO KEPT PRANKING ME! COME'RE AND LET ME BASH YOUR SKULL IN!"
I yelped as he stomped toward me, before Kagome's eye twitched, and closing her eyes, she angrily said, "Inuyasha...SIT BOY!"
Inuyasha slammed into the floorboards, and I suddenly saw the glowing rosary beads around his neck. I sat up, grinning, ignoring the pain in my shoulder. "No. Freaking. Way." I pointed at the beads, which I totally recognized as one of the ideas I gave Kikyo-nee for her boyfriend, Inubaka, beaming at Kagome. "You did this?"
She nodded. "Not directly, that was Kaede, but I'm the one who can use the subjugation word."
I smirked, before crawling over to Inuyasha, and grabbing the rosary beads. He protested, but he couldn't do anything, as I had my foot firmly on his head of white hair. I fiddled a bit with the inner workings of the prayer Kikyo had used on the beads as I talked, modifying them as Kikyo-nee had taught me to. "You know, the subjugation beads were my idea in the first place. I suggested the idea to Kikyo-nee, and she went through with it. Probably one of my favorite pranks against Inubaka here, even if it never got used when I was still a child. I also changed a bit of the finer stuff in the prayers for the individual beads, and now..." I put the finishing touches on, before closing the prayer and scrambling backwards. "Just watch."
I smirked at Inuyasha, who had gotten up now that I had lifted my foot from his head. He growled at me and raised a fist to hit me, but I just smirked wider and clearly stated, "Inubaka...sit."
And he crashed into the floor once more. I laughed and laughed, rolling on the floor clutching my belly, hysterical at Inuyasha's reaction to having a new person be able to use the s-i-t word.
