Chapter 7: An Ace Up His Sleeve
"Musuko!" He heard Inu Onna's voice and felt her shaking him. "Musuko, wake up!" He opened his eyes and saw a fuzzy image of the dog demoness over him.
"Man, you sleep like a rock!" she said. "I've been shaking you for seven minutes!" All of a sudden, she felt his hand patting her butt. "PERVERT! THIS IS SERIOUS!" she hissed through clenched teeth and kicked him in the head.
"I'm up!" he sat up drowsily and rubbed the lump on his head.
"SHHHHHH!!" she hissed looking around to see if anyone was awake.
"What do you want?" he asked a little grouchily.
"I wanted you to see step two in my grand master plan!" she said.
"Whatever." He said pulling off the covers and followed her. She went over to her sleeping bag and pulled out a glowing green test tube.
"What is that?!" he asked.
Inu Onna read the label, "The Flu #73, will last for two to three weeks. Sore throat, scratchy eyes, whooping cough, and STUFFY NOSE!"
Musuko was silent for a second then said, "Where did you get that?"
"Momma's backpack." She said standing over Kouga's sleeping form. "The deeper you go in that thing, the weirder the objects."
She kneeled beside him checked to see if he was awake. Then she stuck her index claw into the cork, twisted the test tube and it popped out. She poured the glowing green goo onto his face and hair. Musuko heaved then ran off to throw up.
"You Wuss!" she shouted after him.
"ACHOO!" Kouga rubbed his nose and snorted back the mucus.
Kagome felt his forehead. "You don't look so good, Kouga. And you're burning up!"
(An: You know how guys get when they're sick. -_- ;;;)
"Could you take care off me Kagome?" he asked with big puppy dog eyes. A bunch of veins popped on Inu Yasha's head as she dropped a blanket over his shoulders.
Inu Onna stood next to him smiling.
"This is your handywork isn't it?" he asked.
"How did you know?" she asked.
"I wouldn't put it past you. Don't worry, know one else can figure it out." He said. She put an arm over his shoulder. She smiled and said, "There's a smart gene on our side of the family." He picked up her hand and lifted it off his shoulder.
"By, the way." He said. "Today is Sunday, and I haven't felt a thing."
"Oh, it's coming alright." She said confidently.
"Apparently overconfidence runs in the family too." Miroku said walking by. The both off them growled at him.
About ten minutes into the journey, Inu Yasha started to wonder if the heat would be coming this weak at all, maybe she had early metapause! Suddenly her scent started doing weird things. Kind of like when a piece of food is sitting on a bench and the wind is blowing the aroma around. Then her scent flared like an invisible arora and it was tinted with the smell of animal heat. Inu Yasha felt it's warmth wrap around him and he inhaled the first smell deeply. It was like the last bowel of Ramen was calling his name, 'Inu Yasha! Come get some!'
He snuffed the scent away from his nose and tried to ignore it. He had done it when he was five, why not now?
Namida bounded through the trees like spiderman, but what she really looked like was an Olympic panda bear. She finally stopped in a high tree above the path where Inu Onna and the others were passing. Musuko sat at the drivers seat singing, "I said I'm sorry mama! I didn't mean to hurt you! I didn't mean to make you cry, but tonight, I'm cleaning out my closet."
Kagome sat on top of the cart in between Miroku and Botan. She was feeding Kouga some chicken soup. Inu Yasha walked next to the cart, actually he was practically limping. Each step he took looked harder to take. Kagome listened to his heavy breathing and said, "I think Inu Yasha might be sick, too."
"HUH?" He snapped back into life when he heard her say his name.
She sat the bowel down and climbed off of the cart. He flinched when she jumped onto the ground. She started walking toward him and with every forward step she took he took one backward. Finally she backed him into a tree. She got really close to his face and stared at him with worried brown eyes, "Yeah, you look kind of flushed!"
Inu Yasha felt hot all over and felt the ache in his body. Then for a split second, he lost control. He embraced Kagome and clamped his lips over hers in a hungry-demanding kiss. Musuko stopped the cart and they all stared. Kouga turned to look, "Oi! Dogturd!" he sniffed and rubbed his nose on his arm. Then he jumped up to save Kagome, but he got dizzy and fell back into Botan and Miroku. Inu Yasha couldn't hear him though, her couldn't hear anything except the sound of his rapid heartbeat. He screamed in his mind, 'Fight it, fight it, FIGHT IT!!!' he felt Kagome run her fingers through his hair and tried to think quick, 'Okay, cold thoughts! Ice, ice cream, igloo, snow, Sesshomaru's expression..'
He lifted his lips off of hers. And his sences came back to him. He let go of her. She staggered where she stood then fell on her butt faintly. His hearing came back and he heard a bunch of cheering from the cart, plus the swearing from Kouga and Honey. Inu Yasha blushed little. Part of his hunger was satisfied, but next time, he might not have as much self control.
He walked back over and Inu Onna hugged him with tears of joy streaming down her face, "That was THE most powerful kiss I've ever seen!"
Miroku slapped him on the back and said, "Yeah Buddy!"
Even Botan smiled.
Kouga was sitting on top of the cart swearing, "I'll kill ya' Dogturd! I'M GONNA KILL YA'! When I get better, I'll rip you into an origami snowflake! I'm gonna rip out your eyes and use them as golfballs!"
"Save some for me Dad!" Honey said. Her fangs looked longer then normal and she looked ready to kill. Inu Onna went over to lead Kagome back to the cart.
Inu Onna went out that night to find some firewood for the fire, it was her turn. She was still fawning over the kiss of the century. "I don't know if I'll ever get over it!" she said with big stars in her eyes. Then she squealed and said, "Ooooh! They make such a cute couple! Heeheehee!" then she realized how girly she was acting and pulled her cool back on.
Suddenly she sensed something behind her but she wasn't about to show fear. "Who's there?" she asked.
She heard the person come out of the bushes and walk toward her. "Inu Onna."
"That's my name." Inu Onna said. She turned to see--- a panda?
'I can't hold it much longer!' Inu Yasha thought through his heavy breathing, which had become raspy from its frequency. 'I didn't realize how hard this would be!'
Suddenly Kagome came up and sat next to him. She blushed a little and glanced up at him out of the corner of her eye.
'Ah crap! The smell is louder then ever!'
"Um, Inu Yasha?' she said.
His heart skipped a beat. He must've been using every fiber within his body to hold himself back. The others weren't that close by, but Inu Onna was probably watching from a safe distance.
"I wanted to thank you," she said. "For the kiss-it was very sweet."
'Ah! MAN!" he shouted. Certain "thoughts" started to come into his brain as he was slowly slipping away. 'Well of course I feel achy," he thought. 'I'm not immune to it. I mean, the others are off somewhere else, we're all alone, and out of screaming distance, she's sitting right there, in heat, an animal instinct,' he swallowed a lump in his throat. 'It wouldn't be that hard to make her even! I'm stronger then she is, all I would have to do is pull her over and..'
"Are you okay?" she suddenly said.
His breathing had become shakey and he was shivering. He looked at her with glazed eyes and licked his dry lips. All of a sudden with demon speed and strength to match he reached out and grabbed her shoulders.
"Wh-what are you doing?" She tried to pull out of his grip, but to no avail. He had never used that kind of force on her before. She looked into his eyes and they showed an expression of sorrow, fear, and desire. She trembled in fear.
"I'm sorry Kagome," he said in a hungry voice. He started to push her onto her back when all of a sudden her scent disappeared, along with his need to fulfill the instinct. It shocked him so bad he dropped Kagome without knowing it and she fell backward off of the log they were sitting on.
He felt the familiar tingle in his fingertips and the slight numbness in his gums as he changed from hanyo to human. "Lord Jesus Christ!" he whispered to himself. He looked at his human fingernails and a lock of black hair fell into his face.
He jumped up and down under the new moon shouting, "YEAH! I'M A HUMAN! WOOOO!!!!" He pointed out into the forest. "BOOYA, INU ONNA!"
Silence.
"Come on, I know you're out there." He went over and shook a few bushes and tree branches, but she wasn't around.
"Where is that little puppy?" he asked himself more then Kagome.
"She went out to get firewood." Kagome said. "It was her turn."
"Yeah, yeah, I know, but I thought she would be around here! She's obsessed with getting us together." He said looking around the forest like a blind man.
Kagome blushed and was glad that she had the darkness to hide it. "Well it's pretty dark, maybe she's already back at camp trying to start the fire."
"You two haven't been properly introduced. Musuko this is my father, Daddy this is my man, Musuko!" Honey said. Kouga sneezed into his hand then held it out to Musuko. Musuko sweatdropped and patted Kouga on the back.
"Get well soon, sir." Musuko said.
"Well?" Honey said, looking up at her father with "the cute face."
"Hold on, I want to ask him a few things." Kouga said. He coughed hoarsly then looked up at Musuko and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
"Well, sir, I was planning on finding a women to bear my child. We just defeated Naraku, but I still have the bad dreams and I'm pretty sure there is something else out there and if I don't find it, then I will need a son to do it in mystead."
Kouga looked at him with a raised eyebrow then gave Honey the look. She sweatdropped waiting for his reply. "Alright," Kouga said in an ''I'm Positive tone.''
"You have my blessing."
"YAHOO!" Honey screamed and through her arms around Musuko's neck.
"Blessing?! What blessing?!" Musuko shouted.
"She asked me earlier if she could marry you and I would only let her if I approved of you." Kouga said.
Honey rubbed her head on his shoulder with affectionate purring. He looked at her like she had worms but she didn't notice, she was off in her own little fantasy world. Suddenly Inu Yasha in his human form and Kagome walked into camp.
"Hey!" Honey suddenly noticed he's human. "Look at him!"
Kouga gaped at him as he approached. Inu Yasha said, "Feh, I suppose you want to take Kagome now?"
"Actually, I'd rather fight for her when you're at the peak of your power." Kouga said. Inu Yasha sighed in relief then asked, "Has Inu Onna come back yet?"
"Nope." Musuko said, glad he had an excuse to get away from Honey.
So everyone searched the clearing, the searched the tents, the cart, the woods...but they couldn't find her. Inu Onna was gone...
