More You Should Know About This Fic Up Front:
Up until now, in the back of their minds, InuYasha and Kagome are both thinking that this is some sort of nightmare or something. It's not really real, yet, you know? Denial, I believe it's called... Trust me, though, it gets real for them soon enough.
Naraku might be playing semi-nice for the moment - agreeing to answer their questions, anyway - but... It won't stay that way for long. He's an evil bastard and if he really did just give them all the answers, there would be no fun in it for him. So when they ask a question, don't always expect an honest, straight-forward answer. Remember: x = y.

Quote of The Day 9/16/11: "Emotional without all the emo. It's called being human."
Disclaimer: You know, last I checked - and it was some time ago that I did this - I didn't own InuYasha. Now, I would check again, but odds are I'm not going to own it now either and why depress myself like that and ruin the perfectly good sugar rush I'm currently on?
InuYasha
I growled.
He was right
About one thing:
It was obvious.
But why bring the fight
Here
Here
Here?
He had a lot more freedom
And fear
In the Sengoku Jidai -
Would he really want
To change that
Just to screw with us?
Well, this was Naraku
We were dealing with here...
"Why bring the fight here?
Trying to kill us
In the Sengoku Jidai
Just not doing it
For 'ya
Anymore?"
Kagome was stiff as a rock
With anger
And fear -
She was nearest
The bastard,
So I guess
She had every right
To be afraid,
But she didn't have
Anything to worry about
Really;
She had my haori on,
Which would protect her
From anything.
Plus, if he made even
The slightest move
Towards her,
I'd kill him
On
The
Spot.
"A little birdie - "
His Saimyosho no doubt,
" - Told me you two
Were constantly
Falling off the radar,
So I sought out
Some answers
And found out
You've been jumping around
Between time periods.
You had an escape
A place where you felt safe,
A place where I
Could not touch you.
And I
Just
Could
Not
Allow
That."
I gritted my teeth,
Of course
He couldn't!
Fucking
Bastard.
"So just how
Did you get here?"
I'm sure
Kagome had a few
Million
Questions of her own,
But I wasn't the type
To just sit still.
Not while I was sitting
Mere
Feet
Away
From the
Most
Evil
Bastard
I'd ever had the
Displeasure
Of meeting.
So it was either
A:
Ask too many questions,
Or B:
Kill him.
Kagome had vetoed option B -
For the moment
Anyway, -
So I had to stick
With option A.
For the moment.
She might change her mind
Soon enough.
But for now
I'd play by her rules.
Only for her.
He smirked even wider -
As if that were possible -
And something in his eyes
Told me
We wouldn't
Be getting a straight answer.
Not right away.
"After the Shikon no Tama
Becomes complete
And Kagome
Gets her hands on it,
She
Purifies it;
Keeps it guarded
24/7,
I make a discovery:
You, InuYasha,
Turn human
On the night
Of
The
New
Moon."
He smirked,
Narrowed his eyes,
Let it all sink in.
I gaped at him,
A million more questions
Filling my head.
Never mind how he got there,
How the hell
Did he find out
My most guarded secret?
My voice caught
As I tried to ask
Just that.
Everything just got
Real.
For every question
I wanted to ask,
There was a new problem,
A new worry that held
Precedence
Over everything else:
Here wasn't safe;
There wasn't safe -
Threre was no where left
To run to,
No where left
Where Kagome
Could be
Safe.
So,
One way or another,
I'd have to kill him
And let Kagome live safely,
On one side of the well
Or the other.
With,
Or
Without,
Me.
So my older brother sold off all his DS games a few weeks ago because his girlfriend convinced him that he had no need for such childish things anymore. That only lasted a couple of weeks, however, and last week he asked if he could play my Diamond version since I wasn't playing it at the moment. I told him fine, whatever. Anyway, yesterday, we were standing in the kitchen and he was trying to feed my dog some table scraps when he knew he shouldn't be -especially that close to dinner. So as I was trying to get it away from him, I accidentally knocked his hand into the wall lightly - it wasn't hard, it didn't even make a sound when it hit the wall or anything. So the asshole up and decks me. I mean, he punched me in the face. Hard. So I took back my Diamond version and the Action Replay and told him he couldn't play my games anymore. He called me a bitch and said I was over-reacting, I say he's lucky I didn't kick him in the balls. What do you think? Was I just over-reacting or did he deserve far worse? I mean, he has to learn eventually that his actions will have consequences. He's twenty, by the way, and I'm sixteen. Wouldn't him punching me like that qualify as a crime?
Anyway, what did you think of the chapter? Naraku's indulging them, but he's not giving straight answers. It's like when you ask an old person a question and what do they give you? A story. That's how my dad is. I'll ask him a question and he'll start answering it, but then he'll use the phrase "Back in the old days," and I'll never get my full answer. I keep going back and asking him questions because I'm hoping that one day he'll just answer the damn question and I won't have to Bing it, but so far no luck. My dad's 48, by-the-by, he'll be 49 come November. Next year, when I turn 18, he'll turn 50 the very next day...
So let me know what you think.
Peace out,
~Hisa-Ai~
