Chapter 1: These Tears Mean Nothing
In Inuyasha's POV
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.
"Kagome!" I shrieked, waking myself up from my deep sleep. What the hell was I dreaming about? All I remember is Kagome and Me together, but, it was different. Usually when we are together all we do is either act as teammates or argue like little kids, heh heh I usually win those fights.
As I told myself this I quickly ducted in fear, expecting Kagome to be there and tell me to "sit boy!" Damn it I must really miss her. I mean those moments when we actually were acting as girlfriend and boyfriend. It reminded me of the days with Keikio. sigh. Inuyasha, you dog you know when Kagome is ready to return back to this time, she will. There's no need to get all emotional about it, right? Sigh.
"What's wrong Inuyasha?" Miroku asked, acting all concerned and shit "And don't say it's nothing, I know it's important to you."
I just gave him an evil go-to-hell look and smirked, "Please Miroku, I'll tell you when something's up besides the sky."
"Inuyasha, you know you'll never have any of your problems solved if you act so selfish about them," He remarked back, kind of cracking an I- know-more-than-you-do smile. Damn it I hate him!
"Well I suppose." I began to say but he was actually fixing to get what was coming.
"Yes," he said anxiously.
I signaled him to lean my way, as if I was going to whisper it to him. Miroku leaned my way and was ready to listen to me. Phht, like I was going to tell that bastard anything important.
*Thwack!* I nailed him in the head, sending him a few feet back. (He's definitely going to feel that tomorrow.) He just casually got up and rubbed his head and just kind of smiled at me. Ha ha! Even if Kagome isn't here I can still have fun beating this goof ball around.
It was odd, Miroku and I never got along that entirely well, but there were times we acted as brothers. Fighting at each other but still sharing an awkward bond. We just kind of looked at each other after that, waiting for the other to say something.
"I-I miss," I started. "Kagome. there I said it! I miss her damn it!"
"Well this is no surprise," Miroku said with a boring tone.
"Huh? Why doesn't that surprise you?"
"Well it's simple," Miroku started, I swear if he pisses me me off I'm going to- "Inuyasha?"
"Erm, yes?"
"Okay just making sure you heard me," he said. "I mean you and Kagome had an odd relationship but you do love each other, don't you?" Miroku was grinning that mischievous grin. He always when he thinks he can make me tell him what he wants to hear. "Well?"
"Ha! Of course not you idiot, I need her to locate the Jewel Shards that's all." I said with the utmost confidence in myself. Hell, this guy thinks he's hot stuff but like I said you can't get me to confess nothing.
"So," Miroku continued, "It wouldn't phase you AT ALL if I started flirting with Kagome?"
"Nope"
"Okay. what if I grabbed her ass and squeezed it right in front of you?" Miroku said grinning.
"No, because you wouldn't anyways."
'Heh this guy thinks he can make me confess to-' I began to think but I was interrupted by Miroku's comment, "So I could kiss her and pour my affection out to her and you wouldn't care, at all?"
Inuyasha twitched at this thought, I had been backed in a corner by this monk. Damn it! He stared at me, he knew he had me.
Just as I was about to admit to the monk my feelings, Shippo woke up. I just grinned evilly at Miroku, he knew I loved Kagome but he wanted to here me admit it with my mouth, the fool. I will never admit my love to another, especially if Niroku is still alive. Niroku would try to redo what he did with me and Keikio. This is why I can never admit it again, I don't want another person hurt.
Shippo stared blankly at Miroku and me and finally said his usual, "Good moooorrrriiinnnnggg!" He smiled his innocent smile and walked toward a near by apple tree. He's so gentle for a demon. Too bad I couldn't have been like him.
"So what were you guys talking about?" Shippo asked curiously as he munched an his red apple. "I heard Kagome's name as I woke up."
Miroku coughed and cleared his throat as he said, "We were just saying how we need her back here so we can find the remaining jewel shards, that's all." He then turned away and walked toward the same apple tree as Shippo did and also plucked him an apple. He munched along with Shippo and acted as nothing even happened, that jerk.
I looked into the sky, the sun was in the east still. It was only about two hours ago since it rose. Sigh. I wish Kagome was here with us, why did she have to leave? I don't suppose she'd let me go with her next time? Oh damn I forgot. That fucking well only lets hu-humans. An evil grin was formed on my face, and Miroku took notice and looked at me with a crazy glance.
"What are you thinking about Inuyasha?" Miroku asked.
Shippo glanced confused and continued nibbling his apple, which was near finished.
"Oh nothing," I wondered off in the woods by myself, mainly to get alone.
The birds chirped as I walked through the path in the green treed forest. The sun seeped through the tops of the trees and the rays seemed to dance in the air and warmed my face. It's solitude moments like this that take my mind away form all the cares and drama I get from being around others. I think the peace or something like that calms me down.
As I was just begging to enjoy the loneliness I heard someone coming my way. I closed my eyes and shook me head and faced who was coming my way. At first all I could see was a shadow heading through the brush but it became clearer of who it was. It wasn't Miroku or Shippo, I couldn't tell who it was, but when the figure stepped through into the opening I saw him.
It was a fragile, pale skinned old man. He had a long, dangling mustache and small eyes. He was wearing a oriental coat and wielding a hand- made walking stick. His eyes were blank as he stared at Me. Dumb ass human, must have been lost or something. I wish I could just strike him down right now but he looks like he knows a lot so I'll ask him about the jewel shards first.
"Excuse me," I asked politely, trying to gain his trust. He just looked at me and didn't say anything. He blinked a couple times before I finally decided he was either def or just plain stupid. I began to ask him again when he spoke up with a frail voice, saying, "If by any chance have you seen any of these," he asked raising a necklace, containing.Jewel Shards! "I started collecting them and now I want more," He said. "Ummm," I began to say when suddenly I thought of an idea, a good one at that, "yea I have," I continued and his eyes widened with excitement, "they are the accursed jewels of The Hell Demoness!" I said trying to strike fear in his heart. He kind of looked at me awkwardly and said, "well ever since I started gathering these I have been feeling stronger." I had to think of something fast, I kind of panicked but then gained control over myself again and said, "that is because your possessed!" I said creepily, expecting him to have a heart attack, that would be hilarious to me. He blinked, dumb faced again, and looked at the ground, kicking the dirt and said, "oh dear, how did you ever know?" I shrugged and started to turn around, but then I realized what he was saying and a cold chill went down my spine. I turned slowly to gaze at the old bastard and saw magnificent energy coming form his body, demon energy. I thought to myself quickly, 'is he REALLY possessed?!' He began to mutate after this thought and his skin became like plates or scales of some sort, and his hands turned from five fingers to three, each with a massive claw at the end. He also grew to eight feet high and his eyes now glowed with yellowish brimstone. His head contained of four horns, each curving behind his head and he had massive fangs like a vampire. He was a whole new creature now. I reached for tetsiga when I realized, I left it with Miroku and Shippo, and they had to be at least half a mile away! Why did I wonder off so far in the woods by myself? I should've known better! "Give me your jewel shards demon!" the beast cried out. His fangs now dripped with saliva. "Heh, in your dreams pal," I smirked getting ready to attack. "So be it!" He snarled as he lunged at me. Using his claws to try and cut me, I dodged off to the side and was about to counter him when suddenly he bounced off a nearby tree and flew back my way. Before I had time to dodge this massive attack the beast impaled my side with his claws. Blood rushed down my side and I was gasping for air and managed to say, "Fuck you, bastard." And I used my own claws to penetrate his backside, for it was the only soft spot on his body. The creature's back was torn open by my claws and his spinal cord was revealed along with his green demon blood pouring out unto the ground. He jumped back yelping in pain, his eyes were now glowing red with anger. He snarled at me and once again rushed towards me, except this time I jumped in the air ready to slice his backside once again, but he ready my moves and grabbed my ankle in mid-air and threw me as hard as he could, which sent me through three trees. I was moaning in pain, this guy was tough, if only I had my tetsiga, I would send this creature back to oblivion with just one slice. Before I had time to get back on my feet I was grabbed in the face and slammed into the ground. The creature looked as if he was enjoying this, little does he know that he's falling right into my trap. Once he had me fully pinned down he licked his lips and drew one hand in the air. His eyes narrowed and he trusted his claws towards me. I was deeply cut in the shoulder, the pain was overwhelming but he left himself completely open and I used my free arm and impaled the beast's stomach and went straight through him. He just stood there at first and then began coughing up blood, along with the gushing of blood and acids from his stomach. His insides were also revealed in the wound I inflicted, they were greenish colored with blood staining them. I pulled my hand out and laughed at the demon as he died. I went to grab the jewel shard from his neck went he grabbed my hand and twisted it, snarled at me louder than before. I just twisted my body with my hand and came around him with a powerful kick to the head. He fell to the ground and laid there, now looking as if he were dead. When I once again retried to grab the jewel shards, I made sure he wasn't going to try anything stupid. Carefully I leaned down towards him, reaching, closer and closer I got until I could touch him. I went to slice the throat open and grab the shards when he suddenly awoken and grabbed my necklace containing some of the jewel shards. Luckily, I only had one quarter of them, Kagome held the rest of them. But still this demon was about to get ten times more deadly, I tried to get them back but he rolled backwards. He then jumped up, springing back to his feet and laughed sinisterly. He placed the jewel shards in his chest, which began to bulk up, and his wounds began to heal. He had me now. Damn it. "Well half-demon," He smirked, "looks like I've got the upper hand now." He laughed hysterically at this thought. "Damn you!" I exclaimed, he knew I feared this new threatening power. "You'll die!!!" I finished, charging towards the newly empowered demon. He grinned as I ran towards him. I went to spring towards him when I noticed someone else was coming. "Oh great," I mumbled. I was expecting some more demons, lured here by the energy of the jewel shards. But when I glanced to see whom it was I was relieved to see Miroku and Shippo. "Stay away from Inuyasha, you beast," Shippo yelled. Miroku peered at the demon and began to unravel his wind tunnel. He tossed me the tetsiga and grinned at me. He knew I was relieved to see him. "Get the hell out of here, you meddling brats!" the Demon exclaimed snarling at them, causing Shippo to jump in surprise and fear. Miroku however just glared at the beast, finishing taking off the clothe which kept the wind tunnel at bay. Just before Miroku released his furious wind tunnel, the demon became fearful and said, "My master said stay away from you monk, he says he will take care of you himself." He turned the other way, ready to run and turned his head at Me and said, "as for you Inuyasha.I will be back to finish the job." And with that the demon fled looking like he disappeared, I, Miroku and Shippo were left dumb faced. Miroku covered up his holed hand, and looked at me concerned saying, "We need to bandage your wounds, but while we are doing so why don't you tell us of your new friend?" I didn't want his help, not like this, but I was in too much pain to do it myself so I had no choice.
That night I was the only one awake. I just once again stayed up, gazing at the stars. I held my head downward thinking to myself, 'Kagome.if only you were here.Perhaps, that demon wouldn't have gotten away' my thoughts trailed off as I began to become weary. I laid back wards, resting upon a rock. A tear ran down my cheek, it was a cold tear and I thought right before I fell asleep, 'What's wrong with you Inyuasha? Why are you crying over that girl? Could this mean I actually do.No! These- these tears mean nothing.' And I fell asleep, dreaming of Kagome, once again.
