Hey people. This is my first Inu fic but I ain't a new-comer to Inuyasha. This ain't my first fic either. Yes I know my grammar sucks. I DON'T accept flames! Constructive criticism is alright but if u flame me, I'm just gonna tell u ta shove it up your ass.

Summary: Ok, Inuyasha's pretty much paralyzed when he gets nailed with Kikyo's arrow. He's completely aware of everything that's goin on around him, he just can't really move, until the arrow is removed. That's a long time ta sit still. I can barely sit still long enuf ta type this thing. Expect some characters ta be a bit OOC sometimes. Especially Inuyasha He's gonna have some weird side-affects. If u can't guess what one of em' is, you're a dumbass. This is a Inu/Kag romance fic, and yes, I am a completely straight guy.

Blinded

Chapter 1

Have you ever heard the saying," It's better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all"? I have. And its complete bullshit. If I could change one thing in the world it would have been to stop myself from meeting that bitch. The one responsible for my strange paralysis. The Miko that stole my heart, and then shoved an arrow through it. Even I don't understand how I'm still alive. Ha! Alive isn't quite the right word. I've been stuck to a damn tree for almost 50 years, unable to move or even open my eyes. 50 years. Do you know how long that is? That's 18,262.5 days. I would know, I've counted everyone of them. 50 years have passed, but for some reason, my muscles haven't deteriorated and my claws are still sharp. At least I think they are. I can't move them so I guess I wouldn't know. But staying in the dark for that long does wonders for your other senses. I can 'see' just as well now, with my other senses, than I could when I had my vision. I've almost developed a sixth sense of my own. I don't need my eyes to know what color something is. Or how beautiful the flowers are in the spring. I'm not ashamed to admit that some things are beautiful. Flowers can indeed be beautiful. The leaves in the autumn can be beautiful. The girl that I see in my dreams is beautiful.

It's kind of funny to think that someone that is supposed to be dead can have dreams. I have but one. I want to meet this strange girl from my dreams. I know it sounds like some childish fantasy, but I can't help that. I also know that she's not just a dream. I've dreamt of her too often and in too much detail for her to just be a dream. I could trace every line of her delicate face. If I could, I would smile at how pathetically sappy that sounds. But I'm somehow drawn toward her. That is probably my sole motivator for staying alive. Now that's funny. Some girl that I've never seen (except in my dreams) is the reason why I've held on for 50 years. But I know that will change soon. I can feel the day drawing closer. I will meet her. I won't be pinned to this tree forever.

Kagome groaned. She was already late for school, but she hadn't even left her house. Her worthless brother had let the cat wander into the well house and was too much of a coward to go in and look for it. And now here she was, trying to hide the fact that the dusty old well house was seriously creeping her out and the scratching noises that seemed to be coming from inside the well itself weren't helping. The well was of course sealed off, so she had convinced herself that it was simply her imagination.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Kagome shrieked and nearly leapt out of her skin as she felt something brush against her leg. She was halfway across the well house before she realized that it was only the cat. " Buyo, you stupid cat, you scared the shit out of me! If you ever do that again I'm gonna barbeque your ass!" (yeah I know Kagome doesn't really cuss but if u read the summary at the top, which I know none of you did, then u'll see that some characters are gonna be OOC) Kagome began to breath deeply. It was only the cat. Buyo must have been responsible for the scratching noise too. The mystery solved, she turned to head back into the house.

Then the well seemed to explode.

Things that could only be described as grasping tentacles wrapped themselves around her arms and pulled her backwards. Kagome could do nothing as the strange creature pulled her down the well. She braced herself for the impact of hitting the bottom…but it never came. She opened her eyes and saw some weird woman floating in front of her. Wait a sec. Floating? What the hell?! It was only then that she noticed that she was floating in some strange blue…something. It was like a void, but there was light It was the weirdest thing she'd ever seen. The light seemed to becoming from the air itself. But that wasn't what she was really looking at. The woman before her had no legs. Instead, she had the body of a huge centipede. Her upper body was pretty normal except for the fact that she had and extra set of arms.

Currently both sets of arms were attached rather painfully to the each of Kagome's arms. The scary-as-hell woman in front of her was talking about something but Kagome was beyond listening. She only wanted to get away from this… this…demon. Kagome instinctively threw an arm out and suddenly felt a strange warm feeling surge through her and suddenly the demon in front of her was blown off of her so violently that one of its arms that was still gripping Kagome was ripped clean off. Kagome could at only gape in shock at what she had just done. She almost didn't even notice herself come to rest gently on the cold earth that made up the well's bottom. What just happened? And why is it so bright in here? Did that demon destroy the well house?

After some time, Kagome finally managed to pull herself out of the well…and almost fell straight back in. She was standing in a small clearing which appeared to be in the middle of a forest. Oh damn. I am completely fucked. Kagome was beginning to freak out so badly that she didn't even realize how bad her language was getting. She looked around desperately for any sign of her families home. Her heart leapt when she saw the God Tree (I'll prolly start usin the Japanese word for it once I learn how ta spell it right) towering above the rest.

Kagome immediately took off through the brush toward it, somehow weaving in and out of the thick trees with out actually running in to any of them.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

You have no idea how startled I was when she suddenly appeared in my forest from that well. I may have been no better than a blind man, but I knew without a doubt that there was a stranger in my forest. I knew it was her. It had to be. I can't exactly say I felt it in my bones as I can't even feel them. The scent I was picking up was the sweetest thing I'd ever smelt. A bit like cherry blossoms, actually. During my time pinned to the tree I'd grown an affection towards them. They were among the most beautiful things on the planet when they bloomed. And there unique scent was always worth waiting the entire year for. But the beauty of cherry blossoms were nothing compared to that of the girl that burst into the clearing that had been my home for the last 50 years.

I would love to say that I swept her off her feet, but since I probably appeared as dead as a door nail, I couldn't really do that. I was actually surprised she hadn't turned around and run. Most girls her age would. Being pinned to a tree by an arrow that was going through your heart wasn't the most attractive thing in the world. But as soon as I caught a good 'look' of her face, my coherent thoughts stopped. One word was flouting across my blank mind. Damn. I wasn't kidding about that sixth sense thing. I can't really explain how it works (meaning the author hasn't come up with a good way to explain it yet), but the young woman standing before me was easily the most beautiful thing I'd seen . Ever. I'd like ta say that I was only paying attention to her face, but I'd be lying. The strange skirt she was wearing was extremely short and I couldn't help but notice her shapely legs.

I was completely taken off guard when she slowly walked toward me. She was brave. If nothing else she was very brave. For all she new, she was approaching a corpse. She came a stop less than a foot away from me. She began to stretch and hand toward the top of my head. I held my breath. I knew what she was going for. My ears.

I had learned early on that my ears were a source of great amusement. Any male that had tried to touch them was immediately killed. No hesitation. But females were a different story. Well, at least female humans were. I'd always had a soft spot for woman. I've never actually killed a human female before. Though now that I think about it, I would gladly kill Kikyo. But on the occasion that a human female pet my ears. I had never enjoyed it. It was a pleasant feeling.

Then she began to gently scratch them. I'm sure that if my body wasn't completely paralyzed I would have begun to purr. I'd never purred since I was a child, but I knew I still could. The feeling that this girl was producing was…well…amazing. Not really in a sexual sense, but it was an incredibly relaxing.

With a sigh the girl withdrew her hand. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It had felt so good! I noticed her shoulders droop. I then heard her for the first time," How the hell am I going to get home?" Her voice was soft. I noted the depressed quality of it. I wanted to smile and try to comfort her. But at that moment a harsh voice cut through the silence.

"GET AWAY FROM THERE!"

I was pretty shocked to see some of the village men standing at the edge of the clearing. It was hard to believe that someone could sneak up on me. Usually I knew everything that was going on in my forest, but at the moment I was a little preoccupied. I heard the girl suddenly give a small scream and bury her head into my chest as arrows thudded into the tree around us. Those asshole had shot at her! They could have killed her.

Bastards!

And for the first time in half of a century, the hanyou Inuyasha moved. The girl that was huddled against his chest didn't notice, but the village men did. It was the scariest thing they'd ever seen. None of them had been alive when the hanyou had been "sealed", but they had all heard stories about the evil hanyou that had killed the head priestess' older sister.

If Kagome had seen it, she probably would have thought it was like some monster movie. Had she been looking she would have seen the dog-eared boy's eyes snap open and bare his fangs in a silent snarl.

What really made the villagers turn and run was his eyes. Never had any of them seen more ferocious eyes. They were tinted with red and we aren't talkin blood-shot. The pupils themselves were beginning to have a poisonous looking green seep into them. Within seconds they were out of sight.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I barely noticed the village men turn and run. I really didn't care at this point. The girl was safe. But surprisingly, I wasn't thinking about her either. For the first time in 50 years I had moved. Not just moved, I had opened my eyes. It was only now that I was hit by the devastating truth. I had opened my eyes and seen nothing but darkness. All these years I had thought that the girl in my dreams would pull the arrow out of me and I would slowly open my eyes and the first thing I would see was her beautiful face with my own eyes. But now, my dream was crushed. Blown away by the horrifying fact that I was blind.

How'd ya like it. What did ya think of the first person parts? Tell me whether I should keep writing in third person or switch to all third person? I'm pretty happy with most of it. I didn't get as far as wanted to but oh well. Shit happens. Review and tell me what u think.
