Hey everyone! Sry it took me so long, I couldn't think of what to write! Now, you may think Hojo is having mental issues in this chap, but try not to (AN; Resist all temptation. LOL!) Read, Review, and enjoy!
Ch9, Hojo has a vision:
"What did I do?"
Nobody answered. Hojo knew perfectly well what he had done, but he still didn't understand the principles of it. He knew that she was mad because he tried to sit Inuyasha (AN; I still can't believe he tried to do that!), but why the hell did sit do that to him? Why the hell did the word sit bring Inuyasha to the ground like that?
Speaking of Inuyasha, Hojo made a new friend that he would see quite often if he kept messing up. His fist. And a throbbing head. (AN; two new friends! He has two now! Sniff, sniff, I'm so proud. Not! LOL!)
"OW!" Hojo exclaimed, glaring at Inuyasha as he turned and raced after Kagome. Hojo knew he deserved it, but he still didn't know why.
"What the Heck is going on?" He said to no one in general.
"With what? I don't see anything wrong." Miroku said, playing stupid to piss Hojo off.
"With that 'Sit' thing?" Hojo almost screamed at them, "What the hell was that?"
"That was the Beads Of Subjugation, child. They react to when Kagome says the word 'Sit.' They were originally placed around Inuyasha's neck to prevent him harming Kagome (AN; first mistake: Telling Hojo Inuyasha tried to hurt Kagome once.)."
Hojo gave her a startled look, which turned to Anger as her words sunk in, "You mean he tried to harm Kagome! How dare he! And she was angry at me!"
Realizing her mistake, Kaede said, "But, as it is quite obvious that he would never do that now, it is used to prevent him from causing trouble."
"But he tried to hurt her! And what's to say that he won't try it again? And he just ran after her!" A look of concern covered Hojo's face as he race towards the hut door.
Sango, who had remained silent until now, suddenly got up and blocked the door. Hojo gave her a startled look, which then turned to fury at her interference.
"You! Your name was Sango, right? Well, Sango, WHY ARE YOU STOPPING ME? I can tell you are Kagome's friend, so why are you stopping me, when Kagome could be in trouble!"
Sango glared at him, trying to figure him out. It was quite obvious that he loved Kagome; she could see his pangs of sorrow why he saw Kagome and Inuyasha together. But it was also quite obvious that she didn't love him, and yet he refused to see it. Yes, he would defiantly be a problem, as she was working hard to try and get them to show their feelings for each other. Oh, yes. She would have to deal with him, and soon.
"Calm down!" She said to him sternly (the way she looked at him scared him; he had seen her Hiraikotsu. LOL!), "You do not have to worry about Kagome, Hojo. Inuyasha loves her deeply, and he would never do anything to harm her."
As she said this, Hojo felt his heart shatter once again. Sure, he had heard Kagome say it herself, but this sudden conformation left him speechless. He sank down to the floor; Why? Why did have this happen? What did I do wrong?
Opps, Sango thought, seeing how depressed Hojo was, Maybe I was a little to hard on him. After all, he did love her.
"Why was she angry at me?" He asked her softly. Sango herself was still angry with this, and found that she could not answer. Thus, Miroku took over.
"Kagome Sat Inuyasha to save you. She did it so he would not harm you, and you went and shot it in her face by trying to hurt him even more. You betrayed all the trust she had in you. Well, maybe not all, but most of it."
Hojo suddenly felt lower than the gum stuck to the bottom of his shoes (AN; LOL, yet EEWWWWW!). He hadn't realized the depth of what he had done. He didn't even know why he had done that! It just came out, without any thoughts (Another AN; sounds about right) to Kagome feelings.
But, even though he was ashamed of what he had done, he suddenly saw something flash in his mind. It seemed so real, like he was actually witnessing it.
IN HOBO'S MIXED UP MIND;
A group of people in old peasant clothes surrounded Inuyasha, but he paid them little attention. He had eyes only for Kagome. But Hojo gasped; they were full of hate.
Two of the men shot arrows at Inuyasha, but, to Hojo's shock, they broke upon contact with him. He gave them an almost annoyed look, and slashed his claws to above them. The two trees above them were sliced in half, and he jumped on top of them, glaring at the men. "Who do you people think I am? Do you think you can hurt me like I did that centipede?"
He then made the same slashing movement with his claws, this time aiming for a startled looking Kagome. But somehow, this Kagome looked younger. Kagome managed to doge his attack by leaping away, landing on the ground. She was looking at Inuyasha with terror and fear in her eyes.
"Want me to scratch you're back?" Inuyasha said evilly, flexing his claws with a grin on his face, and determination set in his eyes. Kagome looked at something small and pink in her hand, and got up.
He attacked again, this time running towards her with his claws outstretched. She ran as fast as she could, but it wasn't enough.
"Prepare yourself." He said evilly.
"Prepare – for – what?" She said between gasps.
"THIS!" he slashed at her, and she screamed loudly, he voice full of fear.
END OF HOJO'S MIND.
"KAGOME!"
While everyone else was looking at him oddly, Hojo jumped up and quickly ran out of the hut.
Well, there you go. Not exactly long, but still a decant sized chap. Yes, Hojo actually saw a vision, but you won't find out who for a while. And Lets give a big thanks to Inuyasha-Half-Demon-Dog-night for giving me the idea for my next chappie! PLEASE REVIEW!
