Hey everyone! Ya, my promises suck, live with it.
Disclaimer" I own nothing except my collection of Inuyasha mangas, even though I don't really own what's on them, so really I own nothing.
Chapter 7
Kagome followed Daimaru into the room across from the one she was resurrected in 'Wow. Never thought I'd say THAT.' she thought with a giggle.
Daimaru picked up the phone and pressed a long number then put his ear to the receiver, listening to the phone chime.
Sango, Miroku and Shippo all looked at the 'magical' item in Daimaru's hand curiously.
"Wassat?" questioned Shippo as he poked the wire and then pulled away when it came flying back at him.
Kagome smiled and picked up the kit "Its called a 'phone' you can talk to someone who's really far away and not have to travel to them to do it!"
Shippo scratched his head "But how do you do that?"
Suddenly a voice came from the top of the phone "State your name and you identification code." said a mechanical voice.
"Hashimoto, Daimaru 86827719." Daimaru promptly as he turned to the six behind him, eyeing them all as if to see if they weren't some of is colleges playing a trick on him. He shook his head 'Even the military couldn't pull off that stunt!'
A long beep came on and then a deep voice came over the line. "Hashimoto, any new ideas?"
Daimaru smiled at them and said excitedly "Yes, Yes I think I did!"
A confused silence "What could you possibly think of if the smartest think tank of the world couldn't?"
"I have to show you or else you won't believe me! It's amazing! I think it may turn the entire war around!" he flailed his arms around to try and show his excitement to a man who couldn't even see him.
Kagome sweatdropped. Then a troubling thought came to mind. 'What will happen when this government sees Inuyasha?' she turned around and looked thoughtfully at him. He was behind them, leaning against the wall beside the door, not meeting her eyes.
'If they make trouble... I don't think that Inuyasha ... will try and fight them.' she put Shippo in Sango's arm's then walked over to Inuyasha, leaning next to him.
"NO SIR! IM NOT CRAZY! ITS REALLY THEM I-"yelled Daimaru as he tried to get his laughing boss to stop laughing at him.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked as she tried to look him in the eye, he just shuffled away and turned his head in the opposite direction.
Kagome felt her heart hurt for a second "Inuyasha? Please talk to me. You're scaring me."
Inuyasha reluctantly turned his head towards her, staring at a spot just above her shoulder.
"Ya?" he clenched his hands in his sleeves till his knuckles turned white.
She titled her head tot he side "What's wrong?" folding her hands behind her back.
"Nothing" he said quickly and he twitched slightly before looking at the floor.
Kagome didn't miss the twitch. "Please tell me the truth Inuyasha?"
"SIR PLEASE! ILL BRING THEM AND SHOW YOU!...Really?...Ok, tomorrow then...-sigh- please stop laughing sir...NO! I think its great your laughing now! eh heh... well ill bring them tomorrow, bye now!" he quickly hung up and sat in a chair with a sigh.
He looked up and smiled " Well, I got you guys in….erm…are you hungry?" he said, at loss of what to do.
Shippo smiled "Do you have any candy?" he asked excitedly.
Daimaru patted him on the head. "Sorry Shippo, I am too busy to buy luxuries like that. But I do have some beans and mashed potatoes, would you like some of those?"
Shippo tilted his head "Wassat?"
"Well let's just get you some so you can have your first try!" he led Sango, Miroku and Shippo into the kitchen then popped his head back into the dining room "You guy's coming too?"
Kagome shook her head "No thank you Daimaru-kun."
Daimaru nodded his head then went back into the kitchen.
Kagome walked in front of Inuyasha and glared. "Tell me what's wrong Inuyasha." She said sternly.
Inuyasha seemed to try and fade through the wall, but to no effect. "Nothing."
"It's not nothing! Especially if it has YOU acting this way!" she pointed out, exasperated that he wouldn't look her I the eye.
He turned to walk away so Kagome darted a hand out to push him back.
As her hand connected with his shoulder he literally threw himself away from her, panting, eyes wide.
Kagome frowned. 'What's wrong with him?'
Inuyasha shook himself then staggered from the room, clawing at his shoulder where she touched him as if there was something on it.
Kagome looked at her hand, but saw nothing.
She walked into the kitchen where she saw Inuyasha standing in the furthest corner, still clawing at his shoulder.
"Kagome!" greeted Shippo in between mouthfuls of beans, apparently he liked it.
Sango and Miroku were staring at the beans warily.
Sango looked up and , almost thankfully, stood up and walked towards her.
"Hey Kagome! Daimaru-sama?" Sango asked Daimaru.
Daimaru choked on his beans. "You don't have to call me –sama Sango, just Daimaru's fine."
Sango nodded "Do you think we could set up for sleep soon?" she looked out the window. It was dark and close to eleven at night.
Daimaru stood up quickly "I'm sorry, ill get you set up in a room. Please come with me." He hurried out of the room and down the hallway.
Sango and Kagome followed behind him as they went up a pair of stairs and down another hallway with many doors.
He opened a door. "You two can sleep in here if you like, there is a bathroom attached to it." He pointed down the hall a bit "That's my room, if you need anything, just call and ill be there."
Kagome smiled "Thank you Daimaru." She bowed and went into the room.
Sango bowed too then followed Kagome, closing the door on the way in.
The room was a navy blue with a cream coloured carpet. In each of the far corners was two double beds with blankets an even darker shade of blue.
A mirror that opens out into a walk in closet was to the right, empty, waiting to be filled.
There was a window in between the beds looking out on a vast yard littered with trees.
To the left was a door leading to a bathroom like Daimaru said.
The bathroom was an airy blue with brown flooring. To the right was a bathtub with a white curtain and a small closet full of cream blankets. On the right was a counter the same colour as the floor with a mirror above it.
Kagome and Sango sat on their beds.
Kagome crossed her legs "So what's wrong with Inuyasha?" she asked bluntly.
Sango frowned "Well, I don't know exactly, but I can tell you what happened after he died. It was really weird so I think it might be a part of why he's acting this way."
Kagome leaned forward, listening intently.
"Well, when I died I woke up and found myself in a kind of, white room. It was a room because everytime I tried to go further than the 'barrier' It was like I had walked into a wall! Shippo and Miroku were there, Miroku said that it was the world between life and afterlife, I believed him because Shippo had bruises on his neck and Miroku had a hole through his neck, even though he said it didn't hurt. He pointed out to me that I had cuts all over my body and that my neck was at an odd angle, all I felt was an annoying cramp in my neck! Suddenly Inuyasha appeared before us, he was the worst though, and not only in physical health"
Kagome shuddered at the memories of her friend's dead bodies. "what do you mean 'not only physical health'?"
Sango stared at her sympathetically "Are you sure you want me to tell you?"
Kagome shook her head. "Yes, if it's the only way I can make him better. Ill do whatever I can."
Sango nodded and her face twisted into confusion "When he showed up, he was lying still, his eyes closed. But he was twitching, as if experiencing a nightmare. He suddenly sat up and looked around franticly, when he saw us he gasped and backed away as far as he could before he hit the barrier. He looked down at his claws and then panicked for no apparent reason! I mean, there was no blood on us even though we were cut and broken. He looked down at himself and started to claw at any part of his body he could reach. He was screaming and yelling 'IT WON'T COME OFF!' Miroku and I tried to help him but he every time we tried to get close he backed away, not looking at us, but never stopping trying to 'get it off'."
Sango shook her head "That was the first time I ever saw fear in his eyes. Eventually he stopped his clawing and curled up in a small ball in a corner, staring at his hands."
Kagome stared at her in shock. 'What's wrong with him?'
