"I do not own Inu Yasha, 'cause if I did I'd own Kikyo, and then we'd do this," Ryoko
said raising a giant hammer over her head and hitting Kikyo over the head with it repeatedly.
"Steal Inu, huh? Try to kill Kagome, will you? Pin Inu to a tree for fifty years, aye? Steal
souls, huh? Just plain evil, are you?! Well, we'll just see about that!" Ryoko said still beating on
Kikyo with the giant hammer. Kikyo screams.
Kikyo sits straight up in her coffin(she feels more at home sleeping there).
"Oh good, it was but a dream," she mumbled to herself. The lid to the coffin next to
hers opens and Ryoko pops out.
"Hey, Kikyo, lookee what I've got!" Ryoko says and hold up a giant hammer.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
(I'm sooooooo sorry to any Kikyo fans out there, I can't help it, I just don't like her.
Please don't hurt me!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inu stared at the gaping wound in Kagome's leg in disgust. Why hadn't he just gone up
and got her down? Sure, he had been a little upset with her for costing him a full night's sleep,
but he had never wanted anything bad to happen to her! Why hadn't he just helped her down?
But he couldn't think about that now, he had to get that wound shut or Kagome might bleed to
death. Inu reached down and pulled the hand Kagome had placed over the wound to stifle the
bleeding off.
Inu knew what he had to do, but he didn't like it, and he was very sure he wouldn't like
the repercussions it would have.
Kagome was trying very hard not to cry, but it was hard since her entire body hurt and
her leg was bleeding very fast. Why hadn't she just waited? Inu might not be very nice, but he
certainly didn't hate her and he would have gotten her down sooner or later. But a part of her
was mad at him for not coming up to get her when she first asked. It would have saved them
both a lot of trouble. Kagome watched as Inu gently pulled her hand away from the wound and
looked at it closely. Kagome knew form the look on his face she couldn't be mad at him. On
his face was so much regret and sadness, she knew he had never meant to hurt her. What was
she thinking? Inu would never hurt her, never.
Inu moved his face close to the wound. It was all but gushing blood. He vaguely
wondered if Kagome hated him now, he really wouldn't blame her. It seemed he couldn't do
anything without hurting someone.
"Umm...Inu Yasha? Uhh..." Kagome said suddenly noticing how close they were. Inu
didn't hear her. He lowered his head and kissed the wound on her leg, closest to the knee.
Then, he tentatively licked it, he ended up with a mouthful of blood. Inu wanted to gag.
"Hey! Si-..."Kagome began, but Inu covered her mouth before she could finish. Inu
looked up and Kagome saw his face was full of concern and seriousness.
"Kagome, trust me," he said quietly. Kagome new she did, she would with her life.
Inu watched Kagome, hoping against hope that she still trusted him, and was immensely
relieved when she nodded slightly. Inu licked his lips. He was pretty sure he'd never get the
taste of blood out of his mouth, but he could worry about that later.
Inu lowered his head again and began licking the wound. He would have preferred to
spit all the blood out, but there was too much and he didn't have enough time for that. He just
gritted his teeth and swallowed. As the blood settled in his stomach, Inu wanted to puke. But,
he reminded himself, there would be time for that later, right now he needed to worry about
Kagome.
Kagome was not very comfortable with this situation. She had promised Inu that she
would trust him, so she knew she wouldn't do anything to stop him, but that didn't mean she
had to like it. At least her leg had stopped hurting, but what was Inu doing? Were they..." Was
this...? Was he...? Being a fairly innocent virgin, Kagome wasn't exactly sure what was
happening, but she was pretty sure it wasn't normal. Still, she had faith in Inu and knew he
wouldn't let anything happen to her, so she didn't question him, or his motives.
Inu heard something coming toward them a few seconds before it was there. Whatever
it was, it was moving very fast. Inu couldn't smell it, he was too close to blood, but he was
pretty sure it was some kind of demon. He wasn't too worried, there were plenty of demons in
this forest and it would most likely just pass on by. He didn't want to stop cleaning Kagome's
wound until he new it was better, so his guard was down. The demon was upon them before
Inu could sense it, it caught him totally by surprise and, in fact, Inu was still licking Kagome's leg
when he saw the thing.
This particular demon looked like a human with green hair and tinted green skin. He
was wearing armor and had a sword around his waste. He coughed to announce his presence.
Inu slowly got up and turned to face his enemy, ignoring the fact that Kagome had gone bright
red and the other demon's in the group before them had begun to snicker.
"Ahem, pardon me, but I heard that there was a powerful demon fighting in the forest
and I came to see if the rumors are true. Are you the demon that has been slaughtering the
inhabitants of this forest?" The demon asked.
"Yeah, what of it?" Inu said arrogantly, while taking in the situation. The demon had
twenty powerful-looking followers with him. They would be difficult to defeat, and with
Kagome injured he would rather not have to battle them all.
"Ahh, my name is Argual. If you don't mind, I wish to have a battle with you to test
your skill. You may wish to ask your...ahh...mistress to step aside. Do you accept my
proposition?" Argual asked. Kagome looked as though she was going to say something, but Inu
stepped in front of her, cutting her off. Inu had heard of Argual. He was fairly powerful and had
a huge group of followers. Inu guessed that the few demons he saw here were only the tip of the
iceberg, that most likely every demon in this forest was working under him. And the thing that
set him apart from most demons was that he had an absolute and total hate of humans. If he
knew that Inu was half human, he would waste no time setting every demon he could find to kill
him. That was why he automatically thought Kagome was his slave, and if Inu wanted to keep
her safe, he knew he had to keep Argual from finding out otherwise.
"I am ..." Inu had to think fast. He knew that he couldn't let Argual find out he was half-
demon, and his ego wouldn't let him believe Argual would never have heard of him. Inu said the
first word that popped into his head, "Shouyu."
"Soy sauce?" Argual asked, repeating the English translation.
"Uhh, yeah, is there a problem with that?!" Inu said crudely.
"Not really, let's begin our battle, my men will make sure your human comes to no harm
while we battle," Argual said as two demons with large blue wings grabbed Kagome and flew
her over to a nearby leg, then sat on either side of her.
"Hey!" Inu yelled in anger.
"Don't worry, Shouyu, they will return her at the end of the match, if you're still alive."
"Just make sure no harm comes to her, she's a princess and I went to a lot of trouble to
steal her, I don't want her damaged," Inu said coldly. Kagome barely repressed the urge to tell
Inu to sit, and did so only because she too was aware of their delicate position. Inu cast
Kagome one more glance, then pulled his sword and circled Argual for battle. Argual also
pulled his sword, and the battle began.
The battle was short, not even a warm-up for Inu. Argual was good with his sword, but
no match for Tetsusaiga. Argual only managed to swing twice, Inu dodged the first swing,
ducked under the second and brought Tetsusaigi up to Argual's throat. And the battle was
over.
"Well done, Shouyu," Argual congratulate as Inu removed the sword from his throat. "I
see the reports of your strength were not exaggerate. Perhaps I could persuade you to come to
my home and rest a bit. You must be tired of sleeping outside, come to my home and rest, then
perhaps later you would like to hear of the quest I and my friends have decided to embark on.
We could use your help," Argual said. It was a request, but Inu didn't dare turn him down, not
when the two demon's were so close to Kagome.
"I don't see why not," Inu said nonchalantly.
"Wonderful!" Argual said gleefully.
