Inuyasha Its Only Jealousy
Disclaimer-Don't own Inu, but he belongs to Rumiko Takahashi. If I did own him, he wouldn't be such a jackass…who runs off to the dead. Kikyou's cool though, but she's just sorta…dead.
We know the pairings and the InuKagomeTakao Love triangle
Right! The poll closes until further notice, so at the moment, Inuyasha has won : ) I wasn't gonna update for a bit, but I've been urged to, so here you do with chapter nine. Rock on XD
Where we last left out little friends, Inuyasha ran off to think and was convinced to come back by Shippo. There was an interesting conversation between Miroku and Sango, but unfortunately, that was interrupted : ( And Kagome and Inuyasha were sorta reunited. But, there was some mysterious chattering among the shadows. What's the snag? The consequence of stress?
Find out in Chapter Nine : ) It's a shady chapter though…with a Disney film (I think O.o) twist
Chapter Nine: A Lover's Consequence! Eternal Sleep?
The Inuyoukai sighed, silvery hair falling across his face as he gazed at the outside world, frowning. It was very early and the birds had just awoken, filling the sky with their melodic morning song. That counted for a peaceful and happy day, but Inuyasha was far from happy, or sure for that matter. Surely from her early sleep last night Kagome would have awoken by now? Sango and Kaede had assured him she would wake up after a while, while Miroku sat there quietly and Shippo snuggled up to his Okaasan, Kirara, snuggled in-between.
His ears drooped as he heard her struggled breathing. Becoming concerned, he approached her slowly, amber eyes glittering with concern. He placed a clawed hand upon her forehead gently, ears drooping even further when he felt the heat coming from her. She was obviously sick. He didn't know what had caused it, but he blamed himself. He wondered how sick she was though. Shippo shifted in the snuggle, letting out a tired and long yawn. He smiled warmly at the little one, before turning his attention back to the slumbering Higurashi.
When he heard footsteps he went rigid, but upon smelling the familiar scent, relaxed somewhat. Kaede arched a brow at him, before joining him quickly by the sleeping miko, gazing at her with sympathy. There was a tension tuned silence, before the elderly miko chose to speak, raising her head to the huts ceiling and frowning.
"She is unwell, is she not?"
His response was a nod as he grumbled something, his eyes never moving from her.
'IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE! Kagome's sick! This is all your fault baka!' BakaInu
'Yeah…' DisInu
'You weren't meant to agree y'know.' PsyInu
'…' DisInu
'Wow, by now you'd usually be raging at us to leave you alone.' PsyInu
'Hey DisInu, ya wanna know what's wrong?' PsyInu
'…' DisInu
'The stress from all this has made her unwell, she may never wake up…' PsyInu
Kaede felt chilled when Inuyasha's eyes widened, his amber orbs lightness fading. She grimaced at his expression and focused on Kagome, brooding. Inuyasha, speechless reached his feet and left the hut without a word.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"HENTAI!"
Was what pierced the relatively peaceful silence. Miroku, the 'hands on' sort of houshi had angered Sango once more by feeling her up in places where that feeling doesn't want to be felt, if that made any sense. Haku, observing from the sidelines, sighed and shook his head. They were in the middle of a forest, next to a well for some peculiar reason. Now that the houshi had become less agitated/angry/wanting to kill around him, Haku had been allowed to tag along, to find the oh so scary houshi was a goofy hentai. Ironic, iie?
Sango turned her nose up at the black haired kazaana wielder and looked up at the sky, which was slowly turning into a light blue. Her brows knitted together when she noticed how it began to darken again and the clouds turn grey. Was it going to rain?
"That is a bad sign. A tragedy has befallen your little miko." A familiar voice said coolly, making them tense. Haku paled and shrunk into the shadows at the sight, while Miroku and Sango whirled around to meet Sesshomaru. Miroku grabbed the charm around his kazaana hand and Sango grasped Hiraikotsu, glaring down the Inuyoukai and sweating. Where was Inuyasha when his brother was here?
Sesshomaru noted her boomerang with movement of his amber eyes, but his expression did not falter. Rin and Jaken (sp?) appeared by him. The imp like creature with the two headed staff sweatdropped and hid behind Sesshomaru, guffawing at Sango and Miroku, while the raven haired girl blinked concernedly. When Rin noticed their fighting positions, her brows furrowed and a sorrowful expression took hold. She liked Inuyasha's friends, especially Kagome. She didn't see much wrong with Inuyasha either. She hated it when they fought, yet she was powerless to state her opinion. However, her eyes widened when her master spoke. "Place your weapons down. I am not here to fight with you."
Miroku locked eyes with the youkai, and reluctantly lowered his hand. Sango however, not so easily persuaded, only raised Hiraikotsu. Sesshomaru arched a brow at her, before continuing, not a glimmer of expression crossing his face. "As I earlier stated, your miko has fallen ill."
"Why the hell would we believe you?" Sango barked, her grip on Hiraikotsu tightening.
"Because it's true." A younger male voice sounded. At the voice, Sango and Miroku's eyes widened, but when they turned to look, their doubtful suspicions were confirmed. It was Kohaku, staring hard at his older sister. Sango stood there, gaping, trying to distinguish whether he was the real Kohaku or just another allusion from Naraku, but when he smiled at her, she knew it was him.
Rather respectively, the younger youkaislayer was glomped by the older one, who let tears fall. Miroku and Haku blinked in confusion, Rin beamed and Sesshomaru merely nodded.
"How?" Sango asked in doubt, clinging onto him. Kohaku grinned and peeled his older sister off him, putting knuckled hands upon his hips. His grin was one full of relief and proudness, but also it appeared the shock of being released was still not over for him.
"Kagura-san. She helped me get out from his control," his voice lowered and sadness took his proud smile, "at a price…" Sango stared at her brother in disbelief, while the youkai appeared a bit struck by the revelation. The youkai of wind, Kagura had helped the whelp escape? But what was this price?
'That was the consequence? So, she really went through with it…what a fool.'
"Kohaku, what's wrong with Kagome-chan?" Sango queried in an urgent tone, black eyes meeting black. His sad and perturbed gaze did not get any better.
"I fear she will sleep for an eternity."
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Inuyasha grumbled as he trekked through the village, ignoring the either frightened, wary or confused glances directed at him. He batted them away without so much as a thought and continued along. The temperature was a cold one and in a way he presumed it was his frosting heart that was causing it.
"Bloody hell. Bloody hell….why the hell would I believe Kohaku! I bet he's still under Naraku's influence!"
"BAKA!" Sango screamed, walloping the side of his head, "Maybe if you'd listened to him instead of attacking your brother, you'd have found there is one way she can wake up!"
At being given this new piece of information, Inuyasha came to a complete stop, ears twitching, eyes wide with a hopeful light in them. When he saw everyone, save for an unimpressed Sesshomaru blink at him, his arrogant 'I-don't-give-a-damn' demeanour resettled and with an upturned nose he humphed and whipped his body around, brooding and folding his arms.
"Keh. Fine then. How do we wake wench up?"
A few exasperated sighs and eye rolls later, the inu youkai was gawking at the little boy in front of him, who tried not to giggle in fear of being mauled. Inuyasha fought the blush that was attempting to settle-not that he'd admit it was a blush, but unless the author of this is male, which she most certainly is not, then it's a darn blush.
Kohaku could not prevent the innocently amused smile that popped out onto his face, but this innocent smile was tinted with a slyness you'd not expect a youkai slayer previously ensnared by evil to have.
"So…you gonna do it, Inuyasha…?"
Ah, yes, the blush had won.
"Hell no!" He snapped, reeling back as if someone had yanked his ears.
Sango and Miroku exchanged an eyeroll. Kirara mewed happily and Shippo stood there blankly next to the cat, until it finally registered in his mind what Kohaku had explained and slowly but surely, his spaced out face was enveloped in a lovely shade of red, much like the one from the second movie, which I shouldn't be narrating about…
"But Inuyasha!" Shippo wailed, eyes watering, "If you don't Kagome will be like this forever! You don't want that do you?"
He paled and back away even more, before hanging his head and muttering; "Iie…"
"It's not like we'd watch you."
"And did I say I was going to do it?" The hanyou cursed, tapping Shippo relatively gently upon the head.
"Well actually," the monotone voice of Sesshomaru interrupted in a very wise way, "it requires an audience to watch it."
"How many?" Miroku enquired, eyes brimming with curiosity.
"Five people…"
Sesshomaru looked at Kohaku, who looked at Miroku, who looked at Sango, who looked at Shippo, who looked back at Sesshomaru.
"Five…" he drawled, beaming at the youkai.
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow, mind trying to process how the kitsune had counted five instead of four and then it hit him…well, actually it REALLY did hit him as Shippo dived at him laughing, making the others gawk and Inuyasha fume.
"Get off of me." He growled dangerously, words laced with venom. Shippo obliged swiftly, now a tad nervous and regretful of letting the fact Kagome could wake up make him happy as amber eyes narrowed pin pointedly down at him. Sesshomaru regained his composure, yet frowned icily down at the scampering pair of youkais. Kirara circled around Shippo protectively, hissing at Sesshomaru every now and again.
"You're number five…" Kohaku mused, hiding his grin in the presence of Sesshomaru.
"This means…" Sango paused.
"You have to…" Sesshomaru's narrowed eyes darted to whoever dared speak, glowing with a fierce intensity.
"Stay with us…" Shippo finished, smiling timidly and hopefully at the youkai.
"What makes you believe I will stay?"
"Well," a voice sounded from behind him, making him slowly glance over his shoulder, "considering you've copied your brother's fashion sense, I presume you're going to stick around for a bit."
Kaede smirked cockily at him and grunting he stormed over to her, preparing to strike while the others gasped-
"Osuwari."
SLAM
Inuyasha blinked and pointed to himself dumbly.
"How come I didn't fall?"
"Because Inuyasha, only Kagome can make you surrender to the spell…"
"And she sure does let me know it…" he muttered gruffly, folding his arms. Kaede rolled her eyes and made her way to the hanyou; 'accidentally' walking over Sesshomaru's head with the speed of a turtle. The youkai grumbled and attempted to get up, but was cut off by another 'osuwari.' Inuyasha by now was pissing himself with laughter, revelling in the fact his brother was being treated like a doormat as Kagome had shown him.
"Anyway. You must do what you were requested to do Inuyasha. Kagome's life and the future of the Senko Judai depends on you!"
…
"Wha? That doesn't tempt you Inuyasha?" Shippo exclaimed in surprise, while Kirara hung her head and mewed resignedly. Kohaku cupped his chin with his hand, contemplating, while his Aneue whipped Hiraikotsu out and pressed one of the pointed edges upon a petrified Inuyasha's forehead.
"Well, surely then that Takao person will be willing to do the honours…"
He choked when claws brushed his throat.
"You do NOT want to finish that sentence Kohaku."
"…Agreed."
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
It was an easy thing to do in all honesty. It was just mustering up the courage that was the hard part…
Inuyasha felt the tension surrounding him increase, as everyone waited uneasily for him to the task set. Well, they were probably concerned because Sesshomaru had promised to cut them into a million pieces and being the honourable youkai he was, he kept his promises, sadly…
"Get on with it," Sesshomaru complained, claws twitching, "I want to kill you all."
He eyed Shippo with interest, causing the colour to drain from the young kitsunes face and make him shift closer to Sango. Sesshomaru smirked, his claws…
"Osuwari."
THUD
"Guh…"
"Just stay there until Inuyasha gains some courage."
"Old hag, I promise you that you are first to die." He uttered.
"Sesshomaru? Did I hear wrongly, or did you call me old hag?"
"…"
"Osuwari."
SLAM
"Inuyasha?"
"NANI!?"
"Stop stalling." Kohaku stated matter-of-factly, unperturbed as the hanyou glared daggers at him and perhaps would have thrown too if he had any. Well actually, Tetsuiga wasn't a bad…
Sango narrowed her eyes.
…Let's not go there now…
"You only have to kiss her. It's not like we're asking you to go intimate infront of us." Miroku drawled, winking suggestively at Sango, who redirected her narrowed glare from Inuyasha to him.
Looking affronted and flushed, Inuyasha swung his arms around wildly.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM YOU HENTAI BASTARD?"
Miroku shrugged and winked at Inuyasha.
"Someone who innocent young ladies fall for. Bravo Inu-."
He was halted by a rather large boomerang connecting with his head. The group, save for Sesshomaru who hadn't been bothered to remove his face from the ground, blinked confusedly, sweating profusely. It was Sango's turn to wink as she placed Hiraikotsu down beside her.
"I'm pest control…"
"Then get rid of Shippo…"
"Nani? WAAAAAAAA! Inuyasha is mean! Kagommmeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!"
"Inuyasha. I despise you. I despise you and your friends and your miko even more so for dragging me into this, but if you don't go and kiss your sleeping beauty and wake her up, I will."
Inuyasha tensed and everyone gawked at the owner of the deep and collected voice. Yes, so Sesshomaru had finally decided to get up and yes, he was hovering above Kagome, staring down at her without a trace of emotion adorning his features.
Inuyasha pulsed with jealousy and in a second was standing in front of Kagome, who was sleeping in an oblivious bliss and Sesshomaru, who tilted his head to the side calmly. But no way in hell was Inuyasha allowing his brother to kick his ass in battles AND kiss the love of his life.
"Get. Back. I. Will. Do. It." He remarked punctually as the brothers had a good ol' staredown.
Everyone blinked, before a feminine moan dragged them from their musings.
"For kamis sake Inuyasha, get it over and done with!" Sango muttered darkly.
Sesshomaru shrugged evenly and was by the wall he could easily demolish in an instant, leaning against it with crossed arms and observing intently. Inuyasha blushed as everyone stared at him eagerly (except Lord Fluffy of course) but nevertheless stooped down nearer to Kagome's current height.
'Right Inuyasha. Courage…' He told himself.
He took in a really deep breath and lowered his head-
Everyone gasped.
His courage was replaced quickly by embarrassment as he snapped his head to glower at all of them, his face burning. They all sweatdropped and mouthed 'gomen' so he resumed.
Each and every person had their own thoughts.
Miroku was soundly knocked out, but was thinking about Sango.
'Kyaa! They're finally going to kiss! Finally, finally! Ha, ha Kikyou!' –Sango.
'Hey…does this mean Inuyasha is actually going to be my tou-san? For real…? AH! I CAN SEE YEARS OF CHILD ABUSE AHEAD!'-Shippo.
'Keh. I'm going to be overjoyed when my claws get to work. Mock the great Sesshomaru will you?!'-Sesshomaru, if the fact he mentioned his own name in the actual thought didn't assist you.
'Mew, mew, mew, mmmmeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwww!'-Kirara.
'Hmm, now that I think about it…how do you remove a rosary from a youkai rather than a hanyou? Oh, I'll dwell on that later. Must watch the kiss.'-Kaede.
Inuyasha, lost in the tender moment, brushed a bang behind her ear, making the general audience go 'aww.' His lips were only a few centimetres above her own soft looking ones. He had convinced himself he wasn't going to lose his cool. He was going to do what he needed (and wanted) without interruption. He was going to-!"
"Aneue!"
Oh screw it…
Tsuzuku
A/N: As if you weren't going to kill me for taking so long, I stopped the kiss. (Everyone forms into mobs) Hold up! If I'm dead the story goes unfinished! (Mobs blink and converse for a bit) see..? (Raise pitchforks) Uh…I'll…make them kiss…soon? (Mobs burst out into cheer) Me: O.o Anyways, this time I'm sticking with this as well as the others. It will take me the maximum of one week to update. Of course, I might be swayed if the reviews come nice and early. (Mobs frown) Uh…:sweatdrop: Anyways…
Please R+R
And as I'm sure you've missed…
Its question time!
What's with the second last line?
Will Kagome ever wake up?
…Is Kikyou going to appear? Is she going to be bent on taking Inuyasha back if so or…?
O.o that was a short question time…
Anyways, this chapter was dedicated to Kant for the most : )
See ya next chapter!
