"The Silent Voice"
By Night Youkai
Chapter 4
'Inuyasha you're still holding back.' Sesshomaru blocked easily with his Tensaiga and knocked him to the ground. 'Enough! Inuyasha we'll try again tomorrow.'
'Yes, Brother.' Sesshomaru left the dojo, and met up with Miroku. Miroku had been watching the on going battle and his heart bled for his friend. He noticed the strain and the tiredness etched across Inuyasha's face. Yet he kept pushing himself striving to be the best.
"His speed has improved, but it's not enough. I fear my brother is losing himself to a ghost."
"I agree. Inuyasha has his sights set on winning the Championship for the honor of the Inuhoushi Dojo."
"Ah yes, Father's last task of approval."
"Yes. That is his main goal." Just then they heard the lifting and dropping of heavy weights. "I hate to think what will happen if he loses."
"We have never been close to one another, but I do understand his pride. He wants to be more than a 'Hanyou'. That F in history didn't help matters much." Hanyou is was what their father had called Inuyasha, since he first heard Inuyasha's thoughts in his head. "I wish he would have done the assignment. Not so much for the grade, but for himself. He needs to open up to someone other then his family. He has locked himself up and doesn't trust anyone."
"Inuyasha may have harden himself to the world, but he has a kind and fragile heart. He won't risk it breaking, so all we can do is sit and wait." Miroku sighed as he watched his friend work himself to the bone. 'And pray he doesn't kill himself.'
*****
'There she is. Why is she here? She's walking away. Where is she going? No don't go Kagome!' Inuyasha sat up with a jolt.
'That dream again.' He got out of bed and got dressed. This dream was hunting him. He headed straight for the dojo. She was always in his thoughts. She was haunting his dreams. More and more he would see her face and she would always turn away.
'I can't have her. She deservers better than a freak!' Inuyasha began to make firewood out of the wooden dummy with the Testsusaiga. Why was fate so cruel to him? If he was to be cursed then why was he shown a brief moment of happiness. Why was he forced to see her everyday and know she was never to be his? Why must fate laugh in his face and torment him and make him wish he never had drawn that breath of life.
'I'm just a worthless Hanyou.' His attacks became more and more violent. 'Right Father!' the rage and shame he felt poured in to every hit he made. 'No one could love a Hanyou!' he slashed the killing blow to the dummy with all his strength before collapsing on to the floor.
*****
"Sesshomaru I want you to pick up Inuyasha from school. I fear he will be unwell after training." Sasami asked her eldest son.
"You've seen something mother. Strange that I did not." Said Sesshomaru as he sipped his coffee.
"Yes. The gift is more in tune when you're a mother. There will be a girl with him bring her with you."
Sesshomaru focused his powers to see his mother's vision. "I see mother. Yes he has to face his fears."
"It's a shame he's been so distracted or he would have seen it coming." Smiled Sasami and she finished her breakfast.
*****
"Are you sure you want to train today? You don't look so good."
'I'm fine let's get started' Miroku had a bad feeling, but did as he was told. He pulled his arrow back and let it fly. Inuyasha caught it like always and the one after that. Inuyasha was totally focus but he look like he was a walking corpse. If he tried to stop in you Inuyasha from training he knew he would have a real fight on his hands. So there was nothing he could do but comply with his friend's wishes. So He continued to shoot arrows at him, they didn't know they had an audience.
"Look at them go!" Sango said.
"Yeah, he's so fast and strong."
"So this is what they do while we' re in history."
"Yeah." 'But Inuyasha looks so tired and worn.' Kagome thought.
"Look Kagome! They're going through the obstacle course." Inuyasha was in the lead clearing the hurdles, jumping through tires and so on. Miroku was not far behind tripping over most of the course. Even the they were evenly matched Inuyasha seem to pushing a little harder and Miroku seemed to be desperate to catch up. As they both reached the wall a flash went through Kagome.
"Something's not right Sango. We've got to get down there!"
"What's wrong Kagome?" but her question went unheard. Kagome was racing down the bleachers and on to the field.
Inuyasha made it to the top wall when his vision started to blur. He strained a little more as he pulled himself on to the top of the wall. His body became heavy; he couldn't hold himself up. He started to sway. 'No! I can do this.' but his body wouldn't listen. Once he was over the top he fell.
"NO! Inuyasha!" Cried Kagome as she watched his body plummet to the ground. Miroku ran to his side. He was about to check for injuries; when he was pushed aside by a small, but powerful force.
"You stay away from him! This is your all fault! You pushed him too hard!" Kagome screamed at Miroku. She checked for a pulse. It was rapid but strong. She placed his head on her lap while looking for any bumps or signs of bleeding.
Sango finally caught up to them. She couldn't believe how Kagome was acting. It looked like Kagome was a woman with a mission. Sango looked over at Miroku. He was scared right down to the bone. He just sat there with the blood drain from his face as he watched Kagome take care of his best friend. Sango felt for him. She knelt down beside him and took his hand in hers. Just then a tall figure with long Sliver-white hair and golden eyes came up to them. 'He looks like Inuyasha.' Thought Kagome.
"Thank you for tending my brother I shall take him home now." Sesshomaru glanced at Miroku, who looked to be riddled with guilt. "Do not worry yourself Miroku. This was not your fault."
"How can you say that? He was pushing him too hard even though Inuyasha was tired." Shouted Kagome as she unknowingly held Inuyasha closer to her.
'So this is the girl. I can see why Inuyasha favors her.' Thought Sesshomaru. "Miss if you knew my brother, than you would know he did this to himself. Come along Inuyasha let's go." He leaned down and lifted Inuyasha into his arms.
"Wait! You should take him to the hospital he was badly hurt when he fell." Kagome felt an emptiness once Inuyasha was taken from her. It felt wrong, and she didn't know why.
"There will be no need. However you're welcome to come home with us and tend him yourself. If you doubt he will be looked after." he placed his younger sibling over his shoulder then he walked away.
"You bet lead the way pal." Kagome stalked after the two brothers.
Sango was in utter shock. "I think I should have stopped her."
"Don't worry she'll be fine. She is a just what Inuyasha needs right now. Though Sesshomaru could have been a little nicer to her." Miroku got up and offered a hand to Sango. She took it and thanked him.
"What were two doing here anyway? Aren't you two supposed to be in history?"
"Well." she blushed. "You seemed to ignoring me lately I was just wondering 'Why?'" he felt touched he never thought she we would miss him. So he resisted the urge he had to touch her behind that he missed so much.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ignore you, but as you just saw Inuyasha has needed my assistance. How about I make it up to you and take you to the movies tomorrow." Sango's blush deepen. A date was the last thing she expected.
"Okay. No funny stuff! This maybe a date, but your still a pervert!" she stated as if she knew what had been running through his mind.
"Alright, Alright, I promise. Let me walk you back to class." Miroku took her hand in his and the walked back to class.
*****
"This way Miss." Sesshomaru lead the way through the large house carrying his brother on his shoulder. They came to a simple room with a desk and chair and a mat. Sesshomaru all but dropped Inuyasha on to the Mat. 'You've gotten heavy little brother.'
"Be careful with him. Are you sure you're his brother his brother? I've seen a sack of potatoes treated better."
"This is Inuyasha's room. Treat him as you like; Medical supplies are in the bathroom to your left. Call if you need anything. I have a dojo to run." Then he was gone.
'Gee what a nice family.' Kagome glanced down at the sleeping boy. 'What am doing here? I don't even know this guy, not really. But I just couldn't leave him to that stiff of a brother. Well I better take care of him' she got up and removed his shoes and socks then went for the medical supplies. She wasn't sure if it was a good thing or not he trained shirtless. He had cuts and bruises everywhere. 'Lucky for me he's asleep or else this would really sting.' She thought as she began to apply the alcohol.
'Ouch! That hurts.' Kagome stop as a boy's voice ran through her head. She looked at the sleeping patient. 'It couldn't be him could it?' Kagome started to apply the alcohol again.
'Ouch! Stop that!' she stopped again. She noticed how his face twitched in discomfort. She wasn't losing it, it was him. Somehow she could hear his the thoughts. Well his thoughts were not going to stop her. Even if they were rude to her. She came here to help him and that was exactly what she was going to do. Rude thoughts or not. She started once again to clean the cuts.
'Stop it! That hurts!'
"No! These need to be cleaned." Inuyasha eyes shot open. His golden eyes focused on her lovely face. What in the seven hells was she doing here? "You had a bad fall and I need to finished clearing you up." Once again she applied more alcohol. He didn't say anything as she bandage the cuts on his arms. Than bathed his chest with warm water and then dried it. This earned a blush on both sides, but he kept his eyes intent on her face. She covered him with a blanket and began cleaning up. When she was in the bathroom he saw his chance to escape. He sprinted from his bed through the door and down the hall, mind screamed.
'Mother! Brother! ANYBODY!'
