Inuyasha smirked as he got the scent of Kagome's family. 'Great, the
'old-man-from-hell' is back to cause havoc on my life!...' Inuyasha
mentally screamed to himself. "Oh, hey. By the way, thanks for the 'lock-
out', I really appreciate it." Inuyasha snarled at the family. He then
checked his disguised forms function, then headed into the bathroom to
prepare to exact his revenge. He changed his disguised form to an older
man with short brown hair in a police uniform. He then exited the bathroom
and headed up to Kagome's room.
"Hey, you look hungry. Why don't you go get something to munch on,
I'll guard Miss Higurashi's room." Inuyasha's cop form told the real
officer.
"Thanks, it makes no sense why this girl needs protection. The guy
whom were supposed to stop showed up." The real cop muttered.
"I bet he caused you hell, huh?" Inuyasha responded.
"No, he's actually a very nice boy."
"Yeah, I know his type well... (If this idiot only knew!!!)"
"You go eat, I'll guard for the rest of the night." Inuyasha said
while trying to sound generous.
"Sure, good idea, thanks."
It was ten minutes later that Kagome's family walked up to the room,
he let them in but followed silently. "Kagome, how you feeling?" Sota
inquired. "Are you in pain?"
"No, I think I'm fine...... HEY, WHY'D YOU GET A RESTRAINING ORDER
AGEANST INUYASHA!!!"
"Huh? I didn't give a restraining order, neither did Asami!" Her
grandfather exclaimed.
"Then who did?" A voice from behind them asked.
"Oh, officer. I....." She was cut off.
"Don't call me officer! I hate this shit I have to wear to get in
here."
"What!?"
"Pleeeeaaasase! You didn't recognize me? Oh yeah, sorry, I forgot,
Humans don't tell people by scent. I'm used to dealing with Shippo."
Inuyasha explained as he flashed his true form, then went back to police
form. "Asami, it was issued by your father, or at least it's his name."
"I didn't. I may not like demons, but you protected Kagome. Why
would I do that!?" The old man exclaimed.
"Actually, I did it." A voice said. "Do you like my gift that you
need to be disguised to visit her. Your draining your magic up keeping
that spell. If it runs out while your in here, you get arrested and you'll
be too exhausted to fight even the human police! Then you'll probably be
experimented on because the humans will want to know about creatures like
you, then you escape and now you're on the wrong side of the humans even
more. You've also gone so soft that I doubt you would lay a hand on any
human anyway you disgrace."
"Get out here and show yourself!" Inuyasha bellowed.
"Sure, you'll lose even more energy fighting me." The voice said as a
man with tan hair and black streaks running down his face and hair appeared
in front of them. "Yeah, don't even try your sword since it doesn't need
your energy. If you splatter blood, you will take the blame. I'm a shape-
shifter, I'll just say you tried to murder me."
"Wrong thing to say buddy." Inuyasha muttered as he unsheethed the
disguised sword and transformed it. "Tetsusaiga!" He yelled as he leapt
into the air and brought the sword down. The demon dodged the blow but
Inuyasha seemed to expect it and he twisted his huge sword and crashed the
blunt side of the blade down on the demon's skull. Inuyasha landed as the
opponent hit the ground.
Inuyasha ran forward as the neko demon snapped out of the daze. The
neko just gasped as Inuyasha brought down his sword at the demons neck.
"No, please no killing, please stop...." Kagome whimpered in fright.
Inuyasha heard this and halted the Tetsusaiga's decent a mere inch from the
neko's face.
"Get the f*ck out of here neko. If you ever step foot near Kagome's
family again, I won't hesitate making sure there's a lot of your blood
shed." Inuyasha growled menacingly setting the sword on his shoulder.
"In due time, foolish idiot. You'd better like the girl because your
about to become quite....attached to her!" The neko said as he stood up,
aimed one hand at Inuyasha, the other at Kagome. He muttered a few
inaudible words as a beam from nowhere shot through Inuyasha's right arm.
Blood splattered as Inuyasha clutched his arm and his disguise sparked,
blurred, and finally disappeared. However, the splattered blood just
floated there in a twisting glop. The neko muttered something else and the
ball of blood shot like a bullet straight towards Kagome.
"Aaaaahhhhhhh!" Kagome tried to scream but it barely got out before
the ball jammed into her chest and absorbed into her. Like a magnet,
Inuyasha's still bleeding arm dragged him to Kagome's bed and stuck to the
spot where the blood absorbed.
"For that, you die!" Inuyasha said to the neko demon. "TENKYOKEN!"
And just as he yelled this, Sango and Miroku walked in to have a glowing,
pink ball of energy, about a foot in diameter, fire out of Inuyasha's hand
and blow a man's head off. But both newcomers got a glance of the man
before his body turned to dust and blew out the window. "What the, was
that a neko demon!?" Sango gasped. "AND GET YOUR ORM OFF KAGOME'S CHEST
YOU PERVERT!!!"
"Uhhh, yeah, about that, I'd love to and all but..."
"No excuses pervert! I really thought better of you." Sango
interrupted.
"DAMNIT SANGO!" Inuyasha bellowed. "I'm no pervert! That f*ckin'
neko cast a spell connecting me to Kagome! Look at this!" Inuyasha
continued as he pulled up his arm pulling Kagome's upper body up with it.
"See!"
"Oh, sorry."
"No, Kagome! What has that demon done to you!" The old man wined as
he found out that his voice still worked.
"Damn!" Inuyasha exclaimed. "I think that I might be able to alter
this spell so that we're not attached, but I've heard of similar spells and
there are many side-effects of the connection. I can alter it to a mental
connection and not a physical one."
"Incantium Altorium!" (Incantation alteration, oh so original -.-*)
Inuyasha whispered as he rested his left hand above his arm. A fireball
fell from his palm and covered his arm and the part of Kagome's chest where
the blood absorbed. "Yikes! It's....not hot? How?"
"It's a spell. It will take around five minutes so stay calm and
relax or my spell might not work and I don't have the energy to perform
another so stay calm, unless you want to be attached to me until his spell
let's us apart, but the other effects will still occur until we find the
reverse spell."
"Okay, but what are the effects?" Kagome inquired.
"Well, I'm making a mental connection between the two of us. Since
the spell would release us after about a week, I'm just skipping that part
of the curse."
"Do you know anything about any of the side-effects of the curse."
Kagome asked.
*Yes* a voice echoed inside Kagome's head, only it had Inuyasha's
voice. *Actually, this is one of them. We have a telepathic link, just a
few more seconds' annnnd...* "Done"
"So, is that a link ability too?" Kagome continued.
"Yep."
*There's one catch, we must be in range of each-other's aura's for
the telepathic link to work.*
"Okay......... no I'm still speaking! How do you speak with the
link." Kagome whispered just loud enough for Inuyasha's demonic hearing to
pick up her question.
*Think about it like this way. Everything has energy inside of them.
Try and focus that energy on me and think something with the intention of
me hearing it. You try.*
*It might be too early for her ya know.... Telepathic communication
isn't the easiest on humans you know.* a new voice said.
*Miroku?....How did you?....How did you get into the link?!...It was
just Kagome and me!*
*It is. I'm a monk in training, I've got powers too. I'm using
regular telepathy to talk to you two. Sango can too but she doesn't know
I'm talking to you. I watched Kagome's lips as she whispered 'how do you
get the connection to work' or something like that. Have patience Inuyasha
and remember that I nor anyone else can hear a mental conversation between
you two.*
"So Kagome, you'd aught to know that since my blood is inside you,
you'll have my healing powers. The problem is that fifteen drops of demon
blood is the most you can get before you gain a demon alter-ego. But I'm a
hanyou so it's probably closer to twenty or twenty-five drops. But heaven
only knows how much of my blood you absorbed. I'd bet closer to sixty
drops myself, just be glad that it takes a hundred or so drops to turn you
into a demon. But I'll bet my magic that you've got a demon alter-ego.
The question is that how much it will take to awaken the demon blood. All
I know is that when you awaken it, you'll transform while under certain
circumstances."
"Uggg...." was all Kagome muttered as she fainted against the pillow.
"Well, she didn't take that as well as I would've hoped."
"Oh my god. What are we going to do now. Can you use that link to
talk to Kagome while she's 'out'." Sango asked the demon who was back in
his hanyou form. He was clenching his claws so tight that blood was freely
dripping from his pierced palms.
*Kagome? Kagome!* Inuyasha's voice echoed through her dream. *
:::Dream:::
Kagome was sitting on a stone bench. "Hey, you sure fell asleep quickly.
I guess demon blood was a major shock for you. Sorry, you must be pissed
at me for this. I should have tried to block the spell."
"No, it's fine. I rather like the connection. Now I can ask you
questions without other kids hearing."
"Okay. You know that it's been three hours since the blood incident
and your family's gone. I've found out that with this link, I can possess
you. I won't fully, but I've absorbed my soul into you so that I can talk
to you now in your sleep."
"What about your body?" Kagome continued.
"When my soul temporarily vacated, it disappears and reappears when I
exit your soul."
"Oh, what do you want here."
"I wanted to talk to you some more." Inuyasha said.
"About what." she asked sweetly as she motioned for Inuyasha to sit
down next to her.
"Well.....uh.....About your demon blood. Err, does it scare you at
all or make you hate me since it is my fault?"
"No, it doesn't scare me. I rather like the idea, it makes me feel a
bit special."
"SPECIAL!!! If you lose control of your demon side, it'll take
control and if you're demon side is anything like mine, you'll become a
bloodthirsty monster." Inuyasha bellowed.
"I know. I'll find out what triggers it and make sure not to do it
anymore."
"Correct!" a voice echoed through Kagome and Inuyasha's little dream
world. "Kagome's demon blood will take control of her mind and body. I
know this spell. Kagome's safe so long as she's within your energy range.
If Kagome steps out of your energy range, she will become susceptible to
being possessed by other demons. If this happens, you must balance your
energies again. Inuyasha, physical contact, as bad as it sounds, is the
quickest way to balance since your energy can travel from your body to
hers. However, her Miko powers are conflicting with the spell and changing
it. I don't know what will happen if the spell continues to change."
"Who the hell are you!? How do you know this!?" Inuyasha yelled.
"I'm the creator of this spell. If I'd've known it'd be used like
this, I wouldn't've made it. I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you."
The voice continued. "I'll leave now. Remember, if you step more than
forty feet of Inuyasha, if you do, it's vital that you don't get angry or
you're demon blood will take control. You're soul is like a closed door to
possession by other than Inuyasha. When you leave, you open the door to
other demons. Inuyasha, I made a spell to increase the distance of your
field of energy. See if you can find it to make life easier. Good Luck."
"Well, that was informative." Inuyasha commented after the voice was
gone. "I'd better get going so that you can wake up. It's breakfast time
for you."
"Is it that late already. I've gotten no sleep."
"No, you have slept. This is all like a dream that you can remember
as if it really happened. This way I can talk to you and you sleep at the
same time."
"Kay." Kagome said as Inuyasha disappeared.
Then she woke up to see Inuyasha asleep next to her bed. She twisted
and was surprised to find no pain. "I was wondering when you'd finish what
little healing you had to do." Kagome looked at the white haired boy again,
his eyes were open and he had a look of concentration. "Let me see your
wound."
"Okaaaay. If you say so" Kagome said as she spread her bandages and
just gapped as Inuyasha grinned. "I told the old man that the blood would
work." Inuyasha cheered at his own wisdom.
"I want to know about the healing, but don't tell me about grandpa's
weird ideas." Kagome retorted. "Grandpa, I agree with that part, but I'm
older."
"Don't try to explain that to me that either!" Kagome said. "So, how
long since I was sent here?" Inuyasha replied, "I think it's around a
week. All I remember is how uncomfortable the waiting room seats are!"
"You mean that you've been here for a week non-stop!" Kagome
whispered a bit flattered. "Yep, with the exception of uhhh, nothing, I've
been here non-stop." Inuyasha murmured. "Oh, while you didn't have to."
Kagome replied. "Yes I did, it's my fault that I was toying with Shinta.
I should have beamed her the second that you all got off of me."
"What about the jewel?"
"I have it and you can't. This thing might get you killed, and I
refuse to put you in more danger." Inuyasha told the girl.
"Oh, Inuyasha, here again?" Sango's voice sounded behind the two.
"Yeah, actually, I fell asleep in here so that's why I'm here."
Inuyasha explained.
"Oh, so, how are you with the curse, Kagome?" Sango asked.
"Ok, Inuyasha and I have a mental link so I can talk to him without
interruptions now." Kagome explained.
"I'm really thirsty, even a demon needs something to drink after a
week of nothing to eat or drink. Do either of you want anything to eat or
drink?"
"Yeah, sure, fruit punch for me!" Sango told Inuyasha. "Water for
me, and if they have any strawberry yogurt, could I have some." Kagome
finished. "Okay!" Inuyasha told the girls before bowing once and just
disappearing. "Show Off!" Sango murmured as she looked at Kagome's shocked
expression. "What the...How the....How'd he do that!?"
Sango just broke down laughing at Kagome while Kagome just looked
at her as if she was insane. "WHAT!!! The guy vanished, poof!, PRESTO, SEE
YA' How'd he do that!" Sango just laughed more.
"Hahahahahnnn. He just...(laugh) ....moved so fast...(laugh some
more, ya get the hint)....Sorry, you see, he bowed, then dashed away so
fast that the human eye can't even see a blur. The only time that I've
seen demons act like that is with their....oh God..."
"With their what." they heard Inuyasha's voice behind them. "Is
there a problem with natural speed."
"Uh, no, but I've only seen demons act like that....when they're
trying to show off to attract a girlfriend." Sango whispered the last part
so that only Inuyasha could hear. "Ha, you wish. Inu-Youkai are some of
the fastest demons around. Rivaled only by feline Youkai then wolf youkai
who like to think that they're fastest. Shoot, my brother was the fastest
demon in existent. You'd be slaughtered before you could see him coming if
you were human."
"Yeah, that's what they all say..." Sango murmured sarcastically,
but the dog boy caught it and had his claws near centimeters from Sango's
face. "Say it again, I dare ya."
"I wouldn't threaten, hanyou. You know that I'm an exterminator
and it's my job to exterminate demons such as yourself. It shouldn't be to
hard since your only half demon."
"Why you little beep, beep beeeeeeeep beep beep beep beep beep!!!
(For the sake of the children, I have beeped out these colorful words that
could tarnish their 'pure' minds, Thank You now back to our regularly
scheduled program.) Why I oughta shred you to bits! You just try to
exterminate me, you'd die before I break a sweat!!!" A very pissed off
Inuyasha bellowed loud enough to crack windows.
"Ah, that's the Inuyasha that I've heard about. You've changed
though, you used to be like you were just when you were yelling now, now
your not. What's up with you?" Sango asked the demon as his face went from
red with anger to confusion to a sight blush from all the praise. "What,
you mean that you never assumed that demons adapt to being around humans?
You'll be surprised what three years with humans can do to you." As
Inuyasha said this, Miroku stepped in.
"So the 'great Inuyasha' has a heart after all?!" he commented. "Not
you two. Miroku, I've reached my limit on sanity, call one of your monk
friends or something." Inuyasha growled at the boy in front of them.
"Wha?" Miroku asked the now fuming demon. "Because your going to need
someone to give you and Sango your last blessing, I'm about to shred you
both and you'll really see the old Inuyasha's anger problem!" Inuyasha now
snarled murderously. "It's been so long since I've smelled human blood.
Making you two suffer is just what the doctor ordered." Inuyasha continued
as he got up, cracked his knuckles, and walked over to where Miroku and
Sango were standing
"He, he Hey Inuyasha, no need to go overboard or anything. You might
end up doing something that you might regret." Sango whispered as she and
Miroku backed away from the advancing demon. "I've never let that stop me
in the past exterminator!" Inuyasha snarled as he flexed his claws in
preparation for the strike. "Now die." Inuyasha growled as he dashed at
them with both clawed hands extended. Then he stopped inches from their
faces as their cringing forms fell o the ground in a dead faint. (Kagome:
-.-*) "And the wimps go down!" Inuyasha muttered. "I think that they've
gone through enough punishment for their teasing. However, it is getting
very hard to hold off my craving for human blood." Inuyasha teased as he
stalked up to Kagome's bed.
"EEP! Sorry, No more teasing here." Kagome whimpered s she
realized that she was strapped to her bed. She just laid in wonder as
Inuyasha continued to her bed. He raised himself to his full height which
made him look quite intimidating. "Hmph! you mean you actually believed
that I would hurt you? I'd be hurting myself. Do you really not trust me
that much?" he said mockingly as he sat down next to her. "Y know, food
here is expensive, I hope Sango eats hers. Here, eat some of the yogurt or
do I have to force it down your throat?" Inuyasha continued.
"Little sparks of romance I see." Miroku's voice said. "Go back on
the ground Bozo, you were safer down there." Inuyasha retorted turning
slightly red and Kagome heard a rainbow of colorful language fly through
her head from their mental link. *Oh Inuyasha. You are yelling some
definite 'R' rated language in my head.* Kagome telepathically told the
demon. *By the way, your in demon form.*
"Oh." Inuyasha whispered as he re-activated back to his black-haired,
school-boy form. He was lucky because a nurse walked in just then. *Whew,
close call.* Inuyasha said. *No kidding, dog-boy. You'd been toast, or
that nurse would, depending on who saw who first.* Kagome said back.
"Well, you seem perfect. I don't know how with those injuries you
had, but all's well. I'll see what I can do about you getting out early.
The doctor will be in here soon to take another blood sample. Good luck."
The nurse explained before hitting the 'doctor call' button on the wall and
going out the door. "We'd better disappear for a while. You need some
privacy." Sango said as she picked up and started to guzzle down her fruit
punch. "Yeah, see ya." Miroku said and Inuyasha nodded before following
the two.
"Miss Higurashi?" the doctor said as she opened the door. "I hear we
have a miracle in here. All well so soon, I have to take a few tests to
confirm your welfare."
--------------------------------------
TWO HOURS OF WAITING LATER.
--------------------------------------
"Good to see your all better. However, lets wait on telling your
parents 'bout the curse though, okay Kagome." Inuyasha asked the girl.
"Sure, grandpa probably think that you did it." Kagome whispered to the
boy. "Hey, want to actually get there bit faster, I can run a lot faster
than any form of transit that you weird humans have these days. Follow me,
oh yeah, pack for high speeds 'cause you'll be traveling at mock 5."
Inuyasha said as he pulled them into an alley. "So, what's your idea, No
we're not riding on you again, I think that I'm just jetting over it!!!"
Kagome said as she held her stomach making a pretend sick face. "Hey, was
I that rough!?" Inuyasha asked sending a very cold glare at Kagome. "NO,
NO! I wasn't referring to your running. It's just that my stomach gets to
me when all THAT I CAN SEE IS A BLUR!!!" Kagome said in an exasperated
tone. "No, no running required. I was taught a move by my brother before
he died, He taught me how to fly and create portals. My portals aren't as
strong as his so I can't travel to different times or anything and they're
nothing that can be called 'energy efficient.' However, they transport
quite well." Inuyasha explained.
"OK, how long will it take to make a portal?" Sango asked. "It'll
take around five minutes to compress all of the required energy into a
spot, then just jump in." Was Inuyasha's reply.
However, as Inuyasha started to form the portal, nobody noticed
the shadowy character at the end of he alley they were in. "Hnnn, she has
youkai blood in her, she's gorgeous too. Just what I've been looking for.
The day might be picking up after all. Even dog-turd won't stop me, I'll
have the perfect woman and he'll be left in the dark. I think I'll
follow." the character muttered to himself as Inuyasha and the rest jumped
through the portal. When he ran up to jump in, the portal disappeared
crashing the mysterious figure into the wall. "Nyaaa, what the hell, I've
gotta good idea what she smells like, I'll just track her down and claim
her as my own before dog-face even gets the chance!!!"
--------Elsewhere-------------------
"Whoa, what is this place!!?" Kagome gasped as she looked around
the huge platform that she was on. It was very sunny, but the beautiful
landscape of the platform blatantly stopped at what looked like a huge
hole. The land was like an island surrounded by a huge black hole. "I
wouldn't play around that edge if I were you. That happens to be a never
ending hole. Your body will die of starvation and thirst and decay before
it hits the bottom, even for demons. That hole will sap your life force if
you fall in and will kill you by sucking out your soul if you don't die on
your own before that. It's a truly terrible way to die." Inuyasha
explained as he guided them to a huge castle in the center of the
landscape. "How big is this place?" Sango asked the leading demon. "Well
Sango, I'd say that it's around five miles from end to end and it's a huge
circle." He replied.
"You never answered me, WHAT IS THIS PLACE!!!" Kagome screamed in
frustrated tone. "YOWWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!!! KAGOME, I'M
MENTALLY LINKED TO THIS PLACE. I CAN FOCUS MY BRAIN WAVES TO HEAR ANYTHING
IN THIS CASTLE. MY HEARING IS MULTIPLIED GRATELY. AND YOU JUST
SCREAMED!!! THAT FRICKEN HURT! DAMNIT!!! DON'T DO THAT AGAIN" Inuyasha
bellowed at the girl while clutching his ears as if they would fall off if
he let go. "Yikes! sooorrry, well if you'd explain once in a while then
maybe you wouldn't be holding your ears as if they would fall off if you'd
let go!" Kagome fumed at the hanyou who just clutched his ears tighter
until he finally fell to his knees. "Too loud, TOO LOUD, OH KAMI, ICAN'T
FEEL MY EARS." Inuyasha whimpered from the ground. "If I'd a' known about
this happening then I wouldn't have brought them here. "Speaking of
bringing us here, why did you?" Kagome asked a little quieter as she helped
the whimpering boy to his feet. "Ahhhhh, my heads stopped ringing now.
Could you repeat that?" and at this, everyone hit the grass in a dead face
fault. "That's gonna leave a mark..... Dang, guess I'd better wake 'em all
up." Inuyasha decided as he walked over to kagome first who was awake.
"You really are an idiot ya' know. I wanted to go home, not to your home!"
Kagome said as she got to her feet followed by the others. "If you wanted
to go home so badly as to tell friends from school that you have powers or
that I'm a demon, then I wouldn't've brought you here. Now Kagome, since
you have company at home, I need to talk to you privately. Miroku, Sango,
you two can look around wherever you want except he servants quarters, the
computer room, and the portal room, 'less you want to be teleported to any
random place in the universe and there's lots more space than planet so
that's where you'd most likely end up and I'm not going to fish you out of
a black hole." Inuyasha informed the two as he pushed open the giant doors
of the castle. Suddenly, Inuyasha slapped his neck. "Myoga! How many
times must I tell you to stop that. You'll be crushed you keep this up
much longer. Oh, this is Myoga, my retainer, or at least he's supposed
be." Inuyasha his guests. "I beg of your forgiveness lord Inuyasha. I am
sorry." Myoga begged the hanyou who acted as though being called lord by a
flea was an everyday practice. "Feh, whatever." Inuyasha said while
Whispering something about pathetic demons before motioning for Kagome to
follow him. Then he gave Sango and Miroku a card explaining that Myoga
would tell them how to use it, then he walked away followed by a very
confused Kagome. "Inuyasha, why did Myoga refer to you as 'lord'?" Kagome
asked as Inuyasha stopped in front of a door. "Oh, that. He calls me that
because in youkai tradition, it is my title. I am the uh, you humans call
them princes, well anyway, my father was the demon lord of the western
lands, the land where Japan is on the demonic map. I was supposed to take
control of it after my dad died, however, me being only half demon made my
brother insanely jealous that I would rule and get the Tetsusaiga. My
brother was so angry that, once dad and mom died, after he took temporary
control of the western lands until I came of age. However, when that time
came, my brother decided that he didn't want to lose the power. He took
the Tetsusaiga from me and tried to kill me with it. But it just
disappeared when he tried to take it from me. It reappeared in she sheeth
at my side. I was stupid thinning that it was a game and that he meant to
make it disappear, however, I played along which pissed him off even more.
He chased me out and tried to kill me, that's when my brother died."
Inuyasha explained in a tone that denoted a great sorrow. "If your
brother's dead, who's taking care of the western lands. Is this why we're
not ruled by demons now?" Kagome questioned letting he many questions that
she had built up come flying out. "No, in demon terms, you're still under
rule of the demon lord. Demons are actually quite common in this age.
They've settled down a bit so they just like to keep their true selves
hidden, using concealing spells such as mine. It's actually a kitsune
trick, the concealing spell, but somehow it's used commonly by almost every
type of demon. You could all be easily made into slaves for him if he
wanted, however, he's no stupid. If he were to put you under slavery, the
humans would revolt, pissing the demons off who would then revert back to
their true forms and start terrorizing the area. If that kept up, there
would be no western lands to rule anymore." He explained. "Who is he
current demon lord, also, did you kill your brother, how'd he die?" Kagome
continued as Inuyasha opened the door to reveal a huge indoor greenhouse.
It looked more like an indoor forest, it even had a stream with fish.
"Well, no I said that my brother died, the man who used to be my brother
still walks very much so alive. He still wants to kill me and have my
Tetsusaiga, however, I won't let him. "Have I met your brother? If I h,
I'll rip him apart for what he did to you when you were younger." Kagome
growled. "Ha, I wish you luck. You'd be in pieces before you even sensed
his presence, and yes, you've met him." the half-demon said as he sat down
in a chair motioning for Kagome to sit down, however, her eyes caught a
picture and she couldn't take her eyes off of it. It showed a boy with
sheeth on his belt that was obviously too big for him, the boy had a sword
in his hands thaws bigger than he was. The boy was cutting through a tree
but what caught her attention was the boy looked like a younger form of
Inuyasha, but what she saw scared her. In the background, there were two
men and a woman. Kagome assumed the woman was Inuyasha's mother but, one
of the men looked familiar. "It can't be. You mean that guy who just
jammed his claws through your stomach, THAT WAS YOUR BROTHER!!!" Kagome
gasped completely stunned. It was the same man, maybe bit young, but the
same man. "Unfortunately yes, that man has been trying to kill me and get
the Tetsusaiga from me." Inuyasha continued. "I thought you said your
brother died!?" Kagome yelled. "My brother is dead, however, the man who
was my brother is quite alive and well. It's frightening really. My
brother knows everything about me down to my weakest moment." he continued.
"Wow. When is your weakest moment?" The curious girl asked. "That's
nothing for you to need to know. I'll tell you this, one of these nights,
it'll get me killed." he said as he stood up, motioned for Kagome to
follow, then walked out the door into a room with stone walls lit by
torches. "What are we doing here?" Kagome asked. "Well, on Christmas eve
night, I'll be in my weakest state and I need to teach you some spells that
will help you if we're attacked." Inuyasha explained to the curious girl.
"What spells?" She responded.
"Well, I could teach you the basic Tenkyoken, but you'll probably
expend all your energy just trying to form it. Oh, shit, I'm hopeless,
first of all you need to remember that a spell is nothing more than a
desire, brought to life through words. In different terms, you have to
want it to happen when you say the incantation. I'll teach you the fire
spell, the ice, then electricity, by that time you should be able to handle
Tenkyoken and more advanced spells to attack. Maybe you'll manage to beat
out Kikyo in magic and archery before we're finished. To start," Inuyasha
began as he sat down Indian-style motioning for Kagome to do the same.
"This is the fireball." Inuyasha said as he held his hand out and a tiny
ball of blue flame appeared floating above his hand. Then he threw it at
Kagome who, much to her surprise, caught it without being burned. Then
Inuyasha grinned as the ball got hotter and hotter until Kagome screamed
and threw it into the air. It landed on a weed as the fireball eventually
turned red and the weed caught fire. Then the fireball turned blue again
and retracted into Inuyasha's hand. "I guess you'll learn not to touch
things that you don't understand. This spell is triggered mentally and the
more energy you pump into it, the bigger and stronger it'll get. Try and
focus your energy into your palm and think about forming it into a
fireball." Kagome did as she was told but, nothing happened. "Ok, try
again." and she did. This time, sparks flew from her hand. "Excellent.
Keep going." Inuyasha instructed her and two hours later she was easily
creating them. "Okay, now you must learn to control it. Once you've done
that, your fire lessons are complete." This excited Kagome and within the
hour, they were playing catch with a blue fireball that Kagome had made.
"We'd better find your friends, we've gotta get to your house before it
gets too late. Let's see, where they are, oh, here's a computer, let's
track their last location. Ah, good, here we go. They're in the kitchen.
Computer, teleport to section B4." Inuyasha said as a portal appeared
beside the computer. "Come on, we've gotta go before your parents get
pissed off." He said as he jumped through the hole. "Okay, okay." Kagome
said as she jumped through after him.
They both appeared next to a door marked 'kitchen' to find Miroku,
Sango, and a lot of dirty plates. "Whoa, guess lunch isn't a problem for
you guys. Let's get going back to Kagome's house." He continued as he
followed by Kagome, Miroku, and Sango. "Where are we, yes, and portal
room." Inuyasha muttered under his breath. "Kagome, while I activate a
portal, why don't you show Sango and Miroku your new spell." he suggested.
"Yeah, what spell did you learn?" a very curious Sango asked. "Sure."
Kagome said as she held out her hand and the blue ball of flame appeared.
Then she tossed it to a startled Sango, who, in turn, tossed it back.
Kagome tossed it too Miroku, then made it turn red hot. Miroku caught it,
screamed, and then threw it into the air. That's when Kagome retracted the
fireball into her hand. Inuyasha just broke down laughing as he finished
the portal.
"Hey, let's go." Inuyasha yelled to the group. "Coming, coming."
Miroku mumbled as he jumped through. Soon, everyone was through and
sitting at the door of Kagome's house as Kagome unlocked and opened the
door. "Come in, please, it's snowing outside." Asami said as they all
walked in. "Thanks, how's the old man and the shrine?" Inuyasha asked
Asami as he removed his boots. "The shrine had to be torn down, but it's
being rebuilt by some other men and father is overseeing the operation. "I
think that I'll go out and help so that we might finish before Christmas.
How many men are helping?" he asked. "Well, there are currently twenty-
eight." she replied. "I see. I need to go, I'll be back for dinner, when
do you want to do dinner?" he asked. "Around two hours. It's Ramen so be
back soon."
"Would you mind if I brought a guest with me, he's little so he won't
eat much." Inuyasha commented as he walked out. "I hope that he's back
soon." Kagome nodded in agreement with her mother. "Sango, Miroku, would
you like to stay for dinner." Asami offered. "Yeah, sure, can I call my
dad to tell him." Sango replied and Miroku nodded again. "Okay, I'll make
a lot extra.
Inuyasha had just began his walk into the woods. "Hey, brat, get out here." he yelled as a child's face stuck out of a nearby tree. "Yeah jerk." the child replied. "Come with me, I want your help." Inuyasha said as he punched the tree making the child fall out. The kid landed on his feet with ease. "Yeah, why should I?" The boy responded. "I can get you lots of good food..." Inuyasha said as he turned around and started to walk away. ".....But, hey if you don't want any of it, suit yourself." Inuyasha continued to walk away acting oblivious to the child who had caught up until he felt a searing pain in his lower leg. The little brat just kicked him in the shin. "So, changed your mind?" Inuyasha asked as he exited the woods and walked towards the shrine, then entered. "What do you want me to do?" The boy growled again. "You'll see. However, it'll be worth it for the food that you get here." This he said as he guided the boy through the door. "Wow, this is the friend you were talking about!" Asami gasped as she picked the boy up. "How are you going to help Inuyasha." Asami asked the boy in her arms. "Well, I'm not sure how exactly." The boy said as Asami put him down "Your so cute." She continued. "I wouldn't trust him as much as you are. He's quite the deceiver, huh boy." Inuyasha said as he stood up from the spot he was sitting. He just walked up to the boy and glared down at him, "Stop this game, Shippo. It's gone way too far." Inuyasha said. "INUYASHA! How dare you be so mean to this child! I think that you'd deceive us before this boy even could. How dare you be so cruel to this child. He's human and can't take this like demon children. I'm ashamed of you to say that to a human child." Asami scolded, however, it didn't get the desired effect. Both Inuyasha and this Shippo broke out laughing. Inuyasha had to sit down from falling over and still fell onto his back. Shippo was laughing so much that he rolled right off of Asami's lap. "What's so funny!? I'm confused now." Asami commented and Kagome even was confused. Inuyasha was laughing so much that she couldn't get a mental link with him as well. "Damnit Inuyasha stop laughing!" Kagome screamed exasperated. Inuyasha made a sound that sounded kinda like a dog bark and Shippo responded the same way which confused the two onlookers even more. "Shippo, game over, please. This is too funny that they think that.....(fit of laughter)...that you're ........(ditto)........HUMAN! He's a Kitsune pup. I tried to tell you that he was deceiving you. He's a fox Kitsune, he thrives on trickery.......(you get the hint)....... You should have seen how ridiculous you looked when you thought that he was human. Shippo, go back to normal... this should be good." Inuyasha whispered the last part so that only Shippo could hear. At this, a cloud of smoke surrounded Shippo. When it cleared, there was what looked like a cross between a fox and a young boy. "Ma'am, does your house burn wood for heat?" Shippo asked Asami. "No, why?" she asked. Shippo sniffed the air again. "Because something's burning." Asami was in the kitchen in a flash. Inuyasha and Kagome, with Shippo in her arms, walked in after. "This is the next spell that I'll teach you, Kagome." Inuyasha said as he walked up to the burning food. He stretched his arm. Small crystals of ice shot out of his hands. "Ice Wave!" Inuyasha said as crystals poured out of his hands. Within seconds, the fire was out and the stove was covered in what looked like snow. "Oh man, Inuyasha, you might have showed me another spell but now I have to clean this up. Dang, I wonder if it's worth it to learn spells if I have to cause a winter trying it. Not that it wouldn't be cool to cause a slight snowstorm. Man, this could be good, but first, I'd better clean this up." Kagome said as she went to get a cloth. "Inuyasha, you jerk, how long are you going to let this happen? You know that you can........" His voice cut off as Inuyasha brought his fist down on the Kit's head. "Inuyasha, stop being mean to......wait, what can you do?" Kagome asked as Inuyasha looked down at Shippo and something came out of Inuyasha's mouth that sounded like a very disapproving bark. "Damn that brat! It was supposed to be part of your training. You know how you can retract the fire from the Fire Wave spell that I taught you? You can do that here to. The intent was that you'd finally get tired of cleaning it up and try to adapt a more convenient way of cleaning the snow. This damn brat screwed another lesson again!!!" Inuyasha groaned while making sure that his voice lost none of its roughness. That Kitsune would be a fur blanket if he kept this up. "Well," Shippo began. "Your such a jerk! If you'd have told me that you had a lesson plan for Kagome then I wouldn't have messed up! You're so mean and cruel to everyone! Kagome, how can you live with this jerk??!" Shippo yelled giving everyone those puppy dog eyes that begged attention. Kagome finally gave in and hugged him only to get pulled away by her mother into the next room leaving Shippo with Inuyasha. "MOM, Inuyasha was being mean to Shippo. Shippo's just a kid, Inuyasha shouldn't be so mean to the boy." Kagome said as she pulled away from her mothers grasp. "Do you know anything about what you just did!!?" Kagome's mother said as she grabbed Kagome's wrist and pulled her into the next room. "Good, here they won't hear us..." Kagome's mother began before Kagome interrupted. "He's a demon mom, so's the kid, they can hear you even if you went outside to the other side of town, they can hear you!" Kagome said indignantly. "I don't care!" Asami yelled. "Do you know what you just did?" She continued. "I tried to help a young boy who might have gotten injured by Inuyasha! I tried to act like a mother when there was no guardian present!" Kagome told her mom. "Wrong! That bark sounded very disapproving and Shippo flinched like receiving a punishment. Inuyasha was trying to teach the boy some manners, or that's what it looked like to me." Asami replied to the startled girl. "Mom!" Kagome replied. "That's what parents are for. Inuyasha has no right to be doing that to some kid that he meets!" Kagome continued. "HE IS THE BOY'S GUARDIAN!!! He already explained it to me a long time ago. Shippo is an orphan. His parents were murdered! Inuyasha's trying to teach the boy and you basically taught the kit that he will receive rewards from you for bad behavior towards his new father. You're basically tripping Inuyasha and just leaving him there!"
************************* How will Kagome respond to the news that Inuyasha is raising a young Kitsune. Will Shippo survive Inuyasha taking care of him. Inuyasha's past life will be revealed revealed! All of this in the next chapter of Inu- Yasha V.2!!!! (I know that this is insane but Shippo had to come in somewhere. *************************** A/N: Whew that chapter was way too long for my sanity! I still have trouble believing that my tiny little Palm-Pilot (What I use to write these stories) has enough memory too hold all o' this crap!!! Nyaaa, back to where I should be. I just came up with a great new idea. I will make this fanfic a 'readers-choice' story. In other terms, you choose what happens; of course I won't take all of the ideas due to the fact that I'd probably be on my, what, forth sequel by then!!! Well, here's the plan. You want something to happen in this fic. You just push that little 'review' button and write what you'd like to see along with a basic rating. Oh yeah, this is my first fic. I actually do not mind if you flame me. "One must be informed of one's problems if one is to correct them." -In the famous words of a very tired self. Oh yeah, flames are good because they make great smores (Drooooool!!! Here's you:::: -.-*) Sorry, I'm a bit crazy when I'm tired and am suffering from extreme sleep deprivation. One last thing: Don't blame me if my spelling sucks! It's late and past my point of keeping sanity so I'll leave you alone now and catch my breath so that I can rant about something else, someplace else. Enjoy the story.
