Wow, it's 2:30 in the morning. I think I need to change cds, I've been listening to Rammstein nonstop every since I woke up this morning at 9.
Anyway, Rammstein is not mine, nor do I claim rights to it. It's too late to fight... with uhh, myself. Those plushies and Dynasty Warriors 4 are going to be mine, all mine. Muahaha... ha..
:::sweat drop::: I think I was supposed to say Inuyasha... I'm too lazy and my brain has the consistancy of rancid chocolate pudding, therefore I do not wish to fix it. And I will not go to bed! That only means that they will win!
Forgive me if I start littering this fanfic with random german, as I doubt it will occur to me in the morning to repair this before posting it.
Kagome moaned softly, her eyesight darkened from her pain. All she could see was the backs of Naraku's heels and the soil moving by. She could tell even in her semi conscious state that they were nearing the heart of the forest, and to where her family was. She tried to move, to cry out, to make any sort of connection with her body, but her panic only made her feel worse.
From the back of her mind, she thought she could hear a new voice, confronting Naraku. It was full of passion and attitude, but she passed out before she could make anything of it.
"Drop her, Naraku, the jewel is mine," the new voice growled from in front of them.
"You are in my way, halfbreed. Dispose of him," Naraku's orders were taken, and the soldiers advanced onto the white haired young man. The dog-like man easily dodged the shots fired at him, and knocked out two of the soldiers in one long blow. He took care of the other two with his long claws, and then faced Naraku.
"I'll only ask you one more time before I tear your limbs from your pathetic body. Give her to me," he wiped the blood from his claws, glaring at Naraku. Naraku, annoyed, took his gun into hand and aimed at the young man. Before he could fire off a shot, though, a poisoned dart hit the side of his neck. Both of the males looked over to the origin of the shot, and saw Kagome's brother and mother. Sota had in his hand a blow gun, and his mother, a wooden staff. They had been able to catch Naraku off guard, and now the poison was working its way rapidly through his body. He knew he would need all of his strength just getting back, but decided he would ger Kagome later on. He threw the limp girl at the white haired man, and snapped open a smoke bomb so he could not be followed. The poison was already slowing his movement.
"Kagome, are you alright?" her mother hurried to her side. The man was looking at the girl in his arms strangely.
/She . . . looks just like her! Her very spirit radiates with the same energy as Kikyo's/, he thought to himself. He looked over her body for her injuries, but only saw a bruise over the left corner of her collar bone, from the shot in her shoulder. She had the dressings of a woodland hunter, with dark greens to blend into the forest. Her shoes were of a brown soft leather, and were very flexible. Her dark green skirt was short, so she could leap through branches without interference. She had a soft green tunic over a billowy white blouse, and her long black hair was let loose around her face.
"I . . . think she's only unconscious. She fought very fiercly back there, you should be proud," he turned around to face her family.
"She always has protected our home, but never has anyone been able to get past her. Sota, prepare a bed for our guest, and we will tend to Kagome," his mother led our adorable white-haired doggy-eared hero to their house, and he lay Kagome onto a mat. Her mother prepared a tea and the aroma brought Kagome to consciousness. The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes, was the concerned, handsome face of Inuyasha (so that's who he was! =P ). Unfortunately, she had figured she was kidnapped by Naraku, and she tried to get up. The blood rushed to her head, and the tendons in her left shoulder cramped painfully.
"Aaih!" she cried out. Her mother hurried to her and put her hand to her face to comfort her. I'm trying as had as I can to make it NOT sound like she slapped her. Hehehe all these mental images... but seriously, no violence.
"It's okay Kagome, you're home."
"And, those men? They are gone?" she asked in a voice barely above a whisper.
"Yes, we have this man to thank for that," her mother turned to him. "I never did get your name."
"Oh. I am Inuyasha."
"We are in your debt, please, let us treat you. It is the least we can do."
"Thanks." Kagome sat up, clutching her shoulder.
"The tea is almost ready, it will heal your shoulder. How is your stomach?" asked Ms. Higurashi to her daughter.
"It's fine now, thank you mom."
"You should rest now, Kagome," her mother pulled a lightweight blanket over her body and led Inuyasha to an adjescant room. "Are you hungry?" Inuyasha's face became filled with nervous worry, but Ms. Higurashi only laughed it off. "You do not have to worry, the ground and water is still pure here. For some reason, the shrine purifies this area, and cleanses it even of the pollution.
Inuyasha thought to himself. /Could this be Kikyo's power? To cleanse even that which is tangible?/ "What do you have?"
"Vegetables and fish. We have some rice, too, but we're running out. It's been a while since the last shipment has come to Earth from Mars. We live quite primitively, but we do well. Better than most, actually."
"I need to talk to you about Kagome. Those men will return, and with increased numbers. They will continue to come until they have what they want."
Ms. Higurashi sighed. "I know what you are getting at, and I've waited for this day to come. The old woman told me that many are searching for my daughter, and now that our whereabouts are known, it is dangerous. We can go into hiding for a year or so, but even then, Kagome's life force can be tracked down."
"Yes. You speak of an old woman?"
"A traveling wise woman with one eye. I believe her name was Kaede., she came here about twelve years ago."
"I see. I am not one for small talk, but I think you know what I am getting at."
"Yes, but it will be Kagome's decision. And I will not let her leave while she is so weak.
"I am glad you understand."
"I've been fearing this day since Kagome was four, but I've prepared myself. Kagome should be awake by tomorrow morning, and I will tell her then. Until that time, please, join us for dinner."
After eating, Inuyasha returned to Kagome's room. She was still sleeping, deathly silent. Inuyasha went back to his own bed roll and laid down. /What a pain, all of this depending on some stupid girl's decision of something she doesn't even know yet./ Inuyasha closed his eyes, but was too uneasy to sleep. After a while, though, the dinner got to him, and he fell asleep.
Meanwhile, Ms. Higurashi prepared a bag for Kagome. Just in case she did decide to leave. She didn't entirely trust Inuyasha, but she knew he was right-- those men would be back. Besides, if Inuyasha's intentions were cruel, he would have surely taken off with Kagome after defeating the men. Nothing was stopping him.
* * *
In the morning, sure enough, Kagome awoke. The tea infusion healed her wounds and all that remained were the two large bruises on her shoulder and stomach that felt sore, but nothing serious. Kagome insisted on helping with breakfast, but her mother would hear nothing of it.
During breakfast, with everyone gathered around the table, Inuyasha initiated the conversation.
"So, are you coming with me or what?"
"What are you talking about?" Kagome turned to her mom questioningly.
"Those men will return, Kagome, you know this. We alone are not powerful enough to hold them off, and surely the next time they will take you. You are a young woman now, and can make your own decisions."
"But mom, what about you, Sota and Grandfather? Who will be here to protect you?"
"I am good with my staff, and Sota with his stun darts. You have taught Sota to lay the traps, have you not? We will do fine. This is your decision, and you must follow your heart."
Kagome looked down at the strawberries in front of her. /Leave my family with this total stranger? He isn't even human!/ she thought to herself. /But, I really don't have a choice, do I. I can't just stay here and endanger my family's lives!/ She looked up. "All right, I'll go."
"Good, get your things and we'll be going--" Inuyasha was already standing up and halfway out the door. He would have taken her by force even if she hadn't agreed, but this would just make things easier for him.
"Hey, what's the rush? At least let me spend some final time with my family!" Kagome glared at the hanyou, and turned back with a "hmph" to face her strawberries. /What is up with that jerk, can't he let a girl spend some final moments with her own family??/
~Later that day (yeah, I'm a slacker)~
"I'm going to miss you Kagome," Sota said, hugging his sister a final time.
"Take care of Mom and Grandfather for me. I'll be coming back to make sure you're behaving, too!" Kagome said her final good byes, and then walked with Inuyasha out of the forest. They walked in silence, then Inuyasha spoke up.
"You better not eat up all of my food. And don't get in my way either. And don't even think of changing anything in my ship!"
"Excuse me? You don't have to be so rude!" /Ugh, what an asshole. This is going to be such a long trip if he's going to be like this the whole way. I can't believe I thought he was cute!/
"Feh. Listen, we're here, and I'm dead serious about not making anything girlie, got it?"
"Where exactly would I be getting these things? It's not like I carry lace curtains and flower vases with me!" Little to Kagome's knowledge, in the bottom of her enormous back pack, her mother had absent mindedly packed a sheer pink shower curtain, silk roses and lillies, and a porcelain dish set with a pink floral pattern. No one will ever know why, nor how the dishes managed not to break.
"Wow...that's your space ship? It's so... majestic!"
"What?"
"I just never thought that's what a space ship looks like."
"You have been living in the middle of no where for far too long. This ship is called the Tetsuiga (is that spelled right?), real beauty she is. Even you Earth people know about it, honestly. It's like you're living in a hole."
Kagome glared after him for a moment, only to fall back in awe of the space ship Tetsuiga. It was slender for manuverability, and had numerous cannons and guns along its sides. To Kagome, it was huge. Its hull was a glossy black, with metallic runners along the sides. These runners were really the secondary jets, and greatly increased the ship's speed and agility. Its sleek body design was broken by a structure that rose above the ship, similar to a dorsal fin. Its purpose was to let the ship slice through the atmosphere of a planet, and lessened the friction. Kagome stared up at it, having never seen a modern structure let alone a ship.
"Hey, are you just going to gawk at it, or are you coming?" Inuyasha yelled from above, then disappeared in the entree way. Kagome muttered a "how rude" before continuing up the steps and vanishing inside. The stairs retracted back into the ship, and a door sealed the opening. With a blast and a surprised yell from Kagome, the ship rose effortlessly and flew as lightning into the space above.
Anyway, Rammstein is not mine, nor do I claim rights to it. It's too late to fight... with uhh, myself. Those plushies and Dynasty Warriors 4 are going to be mine, all mine. Muahaha... ha..
