Inuyasha's Childhood

Chapter eleven; The Poison Takes Effect

A/N; I'm running out of ideas!! Oh NO!!! *sobs* Please help!! I would like to thank robinsama, Inu-Luva, and shiroryu of the moon for reviewing.

I awoke with my vision blurred. I looked around and could see hazy faces looming over me. I was so confused and disoriented. The world was whirling before my eyes and everything was blurry. I closed my eyes tightly, trying to stop the spinning sensation deep in my stomach. I felt nauseous and I could feel my stomach rising and rolling like a tidal wave.

"Wh..What...happened?" I said slowly as I tried to stop the feelings rushing through my body. My legs felt numb and I had trouble breathing. I squinted my eyes and focused on a face above me as they knelt down.

I could feel a hand tugging roughly on my ears and a voice say, "These ears are real, he's just a half-breed." The person then stood up and the crowd dispersed.

*Why did my brother attack me? He's family. What happened to him? Our father died protecting me?* these thoughts ran through my head in confusion as I felt my stomach tightening.

I clutched a hand up to my pounding head as I tried to sit up. I could feel a fiery burning sensation in my stomach and face. I fell to my haunches from the numbness of my legs. I could feel my ears drooping and my body was in a never ending realm of pain. A hazy figure walked over to me and started laughing at my condition.

"Look at the half-breed! How pathetic!!" it said between laughs pointing a blurry finger at me.

I wobbled to my legs to attack the figure but only succeeded in falling face first into the dirt. I growled up at the figure and weakly clawed at its legs as it laughed even harder. I could feel the figure grip my hair and I was dragged upwards. I lied limply in the air as the figure laughed evilly and struck me in the face.

I could feel the blood dripping from my mouth as I squinted, trying to see the figure. It was still laughing at my pain in mirth. I tried to free myself from the figure's grasp, weakly clawing at the hand that held my hair. The figure dropped me and kicked me in the ribs still laughing as it walked away. I coughed roughly and a coppery taste filled my mouth as I coughed up blood. I lied in the street, struggling to keep conscious as the pain filled my mind.

I finally slipped into the black of sleep as the pain filled my veins. The poison of my brother's claws was taking effect.

A/N: I am seriously hitting a writer's block. I think it's because I stayed up till dawn last night and didn't get much sleep.-_-; Oh well! ^-^ Please review!
