Diclaimer: If I owned Inuyasha, would I even be writing fanfics about him?
Summary: After Kagome storms off because of what Inuyasha has done, he tries to find her to apologize. But instead of going to apologize, he is attacked by a demon and is turned into something...care to know what? Well then R&R! Thanks! P.S. Ive noticed for some time now that there have been NO fanfics on this at all! So, I decided to write one ^_^ Your welcome
Chapter 10
The Glowing Light of the Souls of Remnants
"What's that?" Inuyasha threw off Youkai and cast his eyes over the forest. It cant be...is it Kagura? "Your friends are in trouble Inuyasha!" gasped Youkai and Inuyasha widened his eyes in horror. "What are you talking about?" He grabbed Youkai by the collar of his kimono and shook the fox demon viciously. "Tell me now!" "Knock it off!" Youkai spat and jabbed Inuyasha to make him stop. Inuyasha released him and Youkai dropped to the ground on his feet. Youkai brushed himself off. "Your friends have been attacked by that wind sorcerous," he explained, eyes glazed. "I can't hear them anymore. The only ones I hear are Kagura and someone fighting her." No! "I have to go after them!" Inuyasha was staring to run and Youkai stopped him when the fox child called, "Let me come with you!"
Inuyasha threw his head back and spinned on the heels of his feet. "Youkai," he began. "Its too dangerous. I want you to stay behind..." "I can help you." Youkai fell in beside him. "Please, allow me to come." Inuyasha sighed and ran off. "Fine!" he yelled over his shoulder. "But your gonna have to keep up! I can't waste any more time then I've already!" Damn, they better still be alive by the time I show up!
"Had enough Sesshomaru?" Kagura called with a grin. Sesshomaru clutched his sword and panted. At this rate, I won't be able to retrieve what I came for. "Never Kagura," he said. "I'm not finished with you yet." He set another attack and it was deflected by the barrier trapped around Kagura and Kanna. Sesshomaru growled and jumped back. "Its useless," he panted. "But I'm not stopping yet." Sounds of someone approaching echoed. Sesshomaru tensed and whipped around to see Inuyasha with a small fox demon tromping behind. What is he doing here? wondered Sesshomaru and slipped the Bakusaiga into its sheath again. "Inuyasha," he addressed. "What is the meaning of your appearance?" Inuyasha pushed past Sesshomaru and barked, "Lay off Sesshomaru!" and went straight toward the bodies of his friends.
Sesshomaru stopped the fox child as he approaced and picked him up by the tail. He held the demon close to his nose and narrowed his eyes coldly. "Tell me," Sesshomaru demanded. "What are you and my worthless half breed of a brother doing here?" Trembling in fear, the fox child gulped and cried out. "His friends were in trouble so we came to see if they were alright!" The child started to sob in its hands and Sesshomaru sat him back down on the ground. "You may go," said Sesshomaru. The child hurried away, leaving a thin trail of tears to sweep in the air and hit the dirt. Sesshomaru went back to Inuyasha and stepped toward him. "So," he began. "you've come to grieve your friends, correct?"
Inuyasha's head was bowed and he was hunched over the seemingly lifeless bodies of his friends. "What would you know?" Inuyasha snarled and Sesshomaru heard the hanyou sniff. "I thought I lost them once, and I'm not going to loose them for real. Leave me alone Sesshomaru. Get back to your fight with Kagura." Sesshomaru made no move to leave. Inuyasha whirled around and for the first time, Sesshomaru saw Inuyasha crying. "I said GO!" Sesshomaru snorted. "Suit yourself," he hissed. He jumped back into the battle but still thought of Inuyasha as he fought. The first time I've seen him cry. What a pathetic display. "Kagura, your time has come." He rose the Bakusaiga and cut it through the air. A portal opened like an eye. It began to drag Kagura and Kanna back.
"Damn you Sesshomaru!" Kagura snarled again. She brought out her feather and was on it fast with Kanna. "You wanted it back, so here it is!" She tossed him the sack and he held it lightly in his palm. With a huff, she flew away and the portal vanished. Sesshomaru put his sword back and walked to Inuyasha again. "Can you do anything for them, Youkai?" Inuyasha asked. Youkai pressed his hands to the chests of each body and cringed. "I'm not so sure," he admitted. Youkai bowed to Inuyasha. "But I will surely do what I can." Inuyasha nodded slowly. He rose to his feet and tensed when he saw his brother. Inuyasha calmed and pushed past again.
Sesshomaru watched him leave and followed closely in the shadows of the forest. Inuyasha rested at a pond and leaned over it. "Its all my fault," Sesshomaru heared Inuyasha murmur. "If only I came quicker...but Youkai told me he'd do his best to cure them, but I doubt it's going to change anything." Sesshomaru stepped out. "Your right baby brother," agreed Sesshomaru and saw the anger twist on Inuyasha's face. "Don't call me that!" he growled. "This is all your fault Sesshomaru. Why didn't you help them!"
Sesshomaru huffed. "They aren't my responsibility Inuyasha," Sesshomaru put it simply. "Besides, here." He tossed Inuyasha the sack and it landed at the hanyou's side but Inuyasha didnt make a move to get it. Sesshomaru was alittle confused but intrested too. "Dont you want to be a true man again?" he queried. Inuyasha stayed silent but snarled at him. "You shut up! Whats the point anymore." Inuyasha dug his fist into the ground. "Whats the use in living a normal life without my friends? I dont want it anymore. You can take it back to Kagura, because I aint taken it. I'd rather stay this way for the rest of my life." Inuyasha swiped it up and held it in his hand, then took it and ripped it. The powder hit the water and it dissolved upon contact. Sesshomaru was shocked and couldnt hide his own bewilderment.
Suddenly, Youkai appeared from the trees and bounded toward Inuyasha. "What did you do!" Youkai leaned in to get a closer look but Inuyasha pushed him back. Youkai blinked then he cried, "You ruined the cure you jack-ass! How could you! It took forever to make that potion and now..." "I did it purposely Youkai, so shut up." Youkai faded into silence. He looked from Inuyasha to the pond then rest his eyes back onto the hanyou. He chose his words carefully before he spoke. "Erm...I dont know how to break it to you...its about your friends..." Inuyasha threw his golden eyes at the child and Youkai bristled fast. "I know, idiot!" Inuyasha yelled, eyes quivering and fangs bared. "Their dead, arent they?" "Inuyasha...listen to me..."
"I knew it." Inuyasha bowed his head and everything was caught in deathly silence. Youkai stared at the guy he loved dearly, so upset and broken inside, he knew the hanyou felt. There wasnt much he could say. Whatever he would tell Inuyasha, Inuyasha wouldnt bear listen. So Youkai ran forward and did the only thing he could do: hug Inuyasha as tight as he could. He felt Inuyasha tense under his puny grip but Youkai didnt release. He buried his face into the hanyou's kimono and screamed. He felt Inuyasha relax and the touch of Inuyasha's hand on his head. "Its alright Youkai," Inuyasha murmured. "Dont be upset." Youkai's ears flicked then he angered. "Your such an idiot!" he screeched. "You never listen to what I'm trying to tell you! Why dont you ever listen!"
"Its best you leave Inuyasha alone, child." Sesshomaru towered over the fox demon, eyes dark and cold. "Its worthless talking any sense into him now." Youkai jumped off Inuyasha and summersaulted in the air, hovered in mid air, and poked Sesshomaru's nose in his annoyance. "I'm not going to listen to you, asshole, so back off!" Sesshomaru smacked Youkai's hand away with a snort and leaped into a tree. Youkai cringed and was ready to go after him. He felt his tail get tugged. Inuyasha was keeping Youkai on the ground. "Leave it Youkai," Inuyasha murmured. And Youkai saw tears shimmering in the corners of the hanyou's eyes. His anger deeped more and turned to irritation.
"Stop the crying you idiot!" Youkai shouted. "Your friends..."
A fox tail waved in the air. Shippo hopped out from the bushes and smiled. "Inuyasha!" he yelped then bounced again. "Hey guys! He's alright! I found him! Over here!" Shippo was giggling and laughing and hopping like a jack rabbit. Youkai sighed a relief sigh and smiled. He looked at Inuyasha. "See, thats what I was trying to tell you. I managed to save them. They were only knocked out. Go figure right?" Youkai smiled bright as the sun. Inuyasha burned redder then a red apple in summer but Youkai couldnt help but laugh. Kagome, Miroku and Sango appeared moments later. Kagome ran forward and hugged Inuyasha and laughed, "Inuyasha, I'm glad your alright!" He grunted when threw herself into him. She hugged him tight and Miroku and Sango joined in with the hug. "Glad to see...your okay," Inuyasha grumbled and pushed them off.
Kagome angered and rose to her feet. "Whats your problem?" she demanded. He snorted and turned away. Youkai leaped onto her shoulder and whispered, "He thought you guys were dead, so he threw out that potion." Kagome widened her eyes in dismay. She looked at Inuyasha and looked to Youkai. Her heart had sunken into her stomach. This was too much for her to bear. "So, he's going to stay a girl?" she asked. Youkai smirked. "He may think so, but I can probably make a new potion in a matter of three days..." Inuyasha cocked his head back. "And whats the catch this time?" he snarled. "If its gonna be something like that incident last time then the answer is no!" Youkai threw his hands in front of himself for protection. "No, no!" Youkai nervously replied. "I mean, there is a catch, but certainly not the whole bikini thing again!"
Snickering sounds came from Miroku, Shippo and Sango but neither Kagome nor Inuyasha took the humor in that. Inuyasha picked Youkai up by the tail with a tug and brought him nose to nose. "So, what is it then?" Inuyasha inquired. Youkai crossed his arms and sighed. "I'll tell you just as soon as I prepare the potion..unless you dont want it anymore." Inuyasha argued with himself for long moments but then gave in and groaned, "Fine. I'll wait. But only three days, got it?" He sat Youkai back on two feet. the fox demon nodded and bounded off. Everyone's eyes went to Inuyasha and he realized everyone was looking at him. He ignored it and strolled away.
Miroku sighed solemnly. He reached toward Sango and groped her butt. She yelped. "Miroku!" She smacked him upside the face. Miroku sighed again and followed the hanyou calmly. Sango lagged behind and so did Kagome and Shippo. Sango leaned toward Kagome and stared ahead at the boys. "How long do you think Inuyasha's willing to wait?" she queried. Kagome shrugged and remained calmed. "We'll let him decide I guess." Sango rolled her eyes but slowed her pace abit so she would be walking alone. Kirara walked at her side, and she decided her cat demon would be the only company she wanted. Sango stepped in rhythm of the cat demon and Kirara didnt seem to mind. She just purred softly and continued on. Sango released a smile. then she cast aside her eyes to inuyasha and frowned. I wonder what he plans to do for three full days, she thought to herself but it didnt really matter to her, as long as he didnt start quarrels with either of the gang, she was fine with whatever he decided to do.
.:~*~:.
Two days came and went like nothing, but today Inuyasha was starting to get impatient. He stamped his foot repeatidly on the ground and grumbled. "Ug! Whats taking him so damn long?" Miroku absentmindidly sipped his tea and raised a brow in annoyance. Sango tensed up and growled. "Stop that stamping with your foot Inuyasha," she hissed. "Unless your trying to call a pack of rabbits, knock it off! Its rather irritating." Inuyasha stopped the stamping and narrowed his eyes at the demon slayer. "I think that rabbits are the least of our worries," he scowled. "They would probably be more of use to me then that stupid Youkai, thats for certain." Miroku smiled alittle. "Looks like alittle lady is having boyfriend troubles," he teased. "What a sad situation." Inuyasha stiffened. "Cut it out!" Inuyasha flamed. Miroku sipped his tea again and shrugged. "Suit yourself," he murmured. "But I'm just trying to get you to stop worrying. Let Youkai take the time he needs. Its only been two days. One more day wont kill you, will it?"
Inuyasha growled and turned away his head. "Whatever," he groaned. Then, added to himself, "But at least can Kagome get her damn ass back here any quicker?" And Miroku overheard the comment and joked up again. "Someone has alittle crush on the opposite gender." "Damn, shut up already!" Inuyasha bopped Miroku over the head but Miroku didnt mind and continued sipping his tea till the cup ran out. Inuyasha was readying himself to leave. However, a bright white light flashed and blinded him. He yelped with suprise and heard everyones surprised gasps from behind. Then he heard a click then a mumble. "Geez, stop moving would you? You messed it up Inuyasha!" Kagome. Yep, she had returned, and she was holding a strange small pink rectangle shaped object in her hands. "What the hell is that thing?" Inuyasha asked her, rubbing the blindness from his eyes. Kagome smiled happily at his question. "Its called a camera," she replied cheerfully.
They all gave her a weird look, like she was crazy. A sweat drop formed on the side of Kagome's head. She sighed and went on. "A camera is something people in my time can take 'photos' with. Photo's are like moments frozen in time, and they make delightful presents too! I was trying to see if my camera would work, and it does, only thing is the picture I got of you, Inuyasha, sucks." She flipped the camera on and scrolled through the images with a touch of a button. When it landed on the image she wanted, Kagome presented it to the gang glumly. Inuyasha peered at it and tilted his head. It was a picture of him. In the image, his eyes were wide and he looked like he would've wet himself. The only thing that left him intrigued was how his girl form looked. Sure he had the same eyes and hair, but his body stature was alot more slimmer then he thought and he actually had eyelashes. Inuyasha blushed slighly and put the camera back in Kagome's hands.
So thats what I seriously look like as a girl?
Kagome chuckled, amused. "If you want, I can take another picture when your back to being a guy again if you want Inuyasha..." "Good idea," he grumbled. Kagome didnt understand his change of attitude all the sudden but didnt really care either. Kagome just smiled all chipper and that pushed Inuyasha over the edge. "Can you stop the act Kagome?" he sneered. "What act?" She raised a brow. "I mean, your acting alittle too friendly for my taste so can you knock it off?"
"Well excuse me for being friendly you grouchy dog!"
"Just who the hell are you calling a dog?"
"The one sitting right in front of me, you know? The one with the ears!"
"You better take that back, or.."
"Stop fighting already!" Sango moaned. "You guys are making my head hurt like hell!" Miroku lied a hand on her shoulder and glared at the two girls. "I agree with Sango," he said. "Either you two ladies stop arguing or just leave all together." Shippo nodded and tottered on the edge of Kaede's hut. "I can hear you guys all the way up here," added Shippo. Inuyasha and Kagome locked eyes then snorted. "Fine," they both snorted. Kagome stomped into Kaede's hut. Inuyasha plopped down next to Miroku. "Damn, can she be annoying or what?" "Oh no." Miroku waved a hand. "Im not getting involved this time," Miroku continued. He lowered his hand close to Sango's butt. "Its only a matter of time be for you two start quarreling again, and I shall not get involved."
Slap!
"And your not going to rub my butt either, Miroku," Sango scolded and he just sighed and shut his eyes. A familiar fox tail bobbed their way. Inuyasha guessed Shippo, but boy was he wrong. Youkai popped out from the shelter of his fluffy fox tail, holding a green pouch. He hopped onto Inuyasha's lap and smirked. "I finished under three days," Youkai boasted. "Told ya I'd finish. Damn, am I smart or what?" He poked Inuyasha's nose and giggled. Inuyasha scowled and knocked him off with a thrash of his arm. "Great for you," Inuyasha snapped. "Now about the catch." Youkai shot up. "What catch?" he inquired. Inuyasha balled a fist at Youkai. "The damn catch to the damn potion you jack-ass!" Youkai nodded. "Oh yeah, that."
He bounced up onto Inuyasha's lap again, criss crossed his legs, and crossed his arms. Then he shined a devilish smirk Inuyasha's way and replied slowly. "All I ask is that you kiss me."
What the fuck is this kids problem? He's a... this is just wrong!-Inuyasha
Oh come on. Stop being so touchy! Its only a kiss you whiner!-Youkai
In order for Inuyasha to get the cure, he's going to have to kiss Youkai! It would be alitter cuter...if Youkai wasnt of the same gender.
