Kagome's Memories
By: OtakuSailorV
Chapter 14: Rin
Rin stared at the sleeping girl, not budging an inch as memories of where she had seen the girl before crossed her mind.
Jaken gasped and stood in front of Rin, his staff in front of him. "Don't Rin! Lord Sesshoumaru says that this girl is a mighty miko, and that she is very precious to that hanyou. And that hanyou brat can be very possessive." Jaken said loudly as Rin gazed at the sleeping girl.
Ah-Un, not understanding Jaken's anger and mumbled words, moved behind Rin slowly, eyeing the miko who's aura seemed unstable and shaky.
Jaken's harsh and swift words entered the girl's ears and shook her awake slightly. Her side suddenly burned with the feeling of being watched by curious eyes. She groaned slightly and her eyelids shuddered before they slowly were opened.
The world was fuzzy and light hit her eyes, making her shut them again, groan and roll over in the warm grass by the tree. Her head ran against the hard bark of the tree though, and she winced at the pain. Sighing she opened her eyes again and examined the place around her. She was warm, but, felt like something was watching her. She turned around and looked sleepily at Jaken, Ah-Un and Rin. She smiled dreamily at them before turning her body fully about.
She scratched her head as she sat on her legs, watching them as curiously as they watched her.
Finally, she broke the silence, her eyes moving about the group. "Where is Inuyasha?"
Rin and the others simply stared at her like she was crazy.
"Where is Inuyasha?" Kagome repeated her question.
Rin moved out of the group and toward the girl. Jaken stumbled after her, glaring daggers at Kagome. "We know nothing of you're hanyou lover girl!!"
Kagome's eyes widened. "Hanyou. . .'lover?'"
Jaken made a face at her question. "That brat Inuyasha!"
Kagome smiled at him. "Oh." Was all she said.
Then her face blanked and both Rin and Kagome looked to the small youkai.
"What's a lover?" They asked in unison. They noticed instantly and smiled at each other, forgot their questions, and went on with their own conversation.
"Rin's name is Rin. What is your name?"
"My name is Kagome. It's nice to meet you Rin!" Rin and Kagome smiled at each other again.
"Rin glad to meet you too." She commented before sitting down before the girl and carrying on a conversation.
Jaken sweatdropped. "I will never understand humans. . ." He sighed as he grabbed the back of Rin's kimono and tugged hard, pulling her backward.
Rin glared at him as he tried desperately to drag her away.
"What you doing Jaken-san?" Jaken glared back at her. "We're going somewhere else."
"But Rin wants to stay here with Kagome." Rin said, swatting at her caretaker with her hand.
Jaken dodged around her small arm and hand, and kept pulling.
Kagome, seeing the problem, grabbed the other end of Rin and pulled the youkai backward across the ground. Rin giggled as she was swept through the air and placed back by Kagome again.
Jaken sputtered angrily and shouted threats at the young, clueless miko.
Ah-Un's ears suddenly pricked forward, and his eyes narrowed. A small growl formed inside of the creature.
Everyone looked up as Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kirara came through the bushes.
Kirara hopped down and sat in Kagome's lap, glaring and hissing at the dragon youkai, her hair raised defensively. Ah-Un growled back and looked ready to attack when Rin pulled his reins. "Be nice." She ordered and turned back to the others.
Ah-Un whined and obeyed, while Kagome stroked Kirara and whispered the same thing to him. Kirara turned his head from Ah-Un and stopped growling, allowing Kagome to pet him.
Shippo climbed down and greeted Rin happily, smiling at her. He sat down by Kagome and started off talking with the young girl as if nothing were going on.
Miroku and Sango looked puzzled as they drew closer, paying no mind to the sputtering youkai at their feet. Jaken swung his staff at them and dared to shout threats that went unheard and unnoticed by the others. He continued to attack verbally until he was tired.
Sango tapped Kagome on the shoulder. "Hey, where's Inuyasha?"
Kagome shrugged. "I woke up by this tree, and Rin and Ah-Un and the crazy little guy over there were staring at me."
Miroku and Sango exchanged glances. "Sesshoumaru's minions." Miroku mumbled. Sango nodded.
Miroku turned to the sputtering youkai beside him. "Hey, where is Sesshoumaru right now?" He asked, smiling at the youkai.
Jaken glared at him, swinging his staff at the monk's head. "Lord Sesshoumaru is on important business! Something a human would not understand!!"
"He's fighting Inuyasha." Shippo translated for them before Rin could. Jaken glared at him, his mouth open in protest, but he shut it again with a small, "Hmph!"
"So, they are fighting then?" Miroku stated more then asked.
His inquiry was met with a sudden shake of the earth and distant cries. Everyone's head turned toward the oncoming noise and shouts.
"I'm going to kill you, you bastard!!!" There was the sound of metal clinking and everyone knew that the swords had met. There was no sound from Sesshoumaru, but his voice wasn't as loud and he didn't yell like Inuyasha, so he may have spoken without them knowing.
There was more clinking and the sound of Inuyasha yelling threats. Then suddenly. . .
*th-wunk*
Tetsusaiga shot through the trees and landed, sticking straight up in the dirt. Kagome gasped as the mighty blade gave forth steam and shrank to a rusted old blade.
Jaken ran toward it. "Success!" He cried before he was caught in the head by Shippo's top. Jaken gave a scream as the little youkai laughed at him.
The top shrank back to size and Jaken lay, defeated by the blade.
The air suddenly went still, and a mysterious wind blew, bringing a horrifying scent to both Kirara and Shippo's noses. Both youkai's hair stood on end and Kagome felt something inside of her move at the manifestation of a mighty power. Her hair rose slightly and fell again, her eyes wide with shock, a chill running down her spine.
Rin stared at her. "Kagome-chan?"
Kagome got to her feet as Sesshoumaru came crashing backward through the trees. Rin screamed and moved behind Kagome, who was staring at the place from which Sesshoumaru had come. Jaken got to his feet and forgot the mighty blade to go toward his Lord.
Just as Sesshoumaru landed neatly on his feet, a flash of red and white shot out of the brush and sent itself snarling toward him.
Sesshoumaru dodged, with only a small wound. He made a face as he dodged an attack from the same creature from behind. "Inuyasha. . ." He cursed softly under his breath, but Kagome caught the words and looked toward the figure that stood now to the opposite of the mighty youkai.
It was indeed Inuyasha. But. . .there was something. . .different about him. He had a feral look in his eyes which were a blood red. His fangs stuck out of his mouth and appeared to have grown. His claws were extended and he had flexed them as blood dripped from the tips. His hair moved, and they spotted a single purple line on each cheek. His ears moved back and forth rapidly, the hair seemed to have grown and it made him look even more dangerous.
"Nearly got ya that time. . ." The strange Inuyasha chortled as he licked the blood on his claws. "This is fun. . ."
The strange Inuyasha flexed his claws again before bending slightly at the middle and lowering his arms as he crouched, eyeing his enemy.
Someone stepped on a twig and the red eyes flicked toward the group of humans that looked on. The nose of the youkai moved slightly, as if he were catching their scents. He unbent from his position and turned toward them, ignoring his opponent. "Well. . ." He started, looking them over.
His eyes fell on Kagome, but she did not moved, only stared back at him in shock. The youkai's eyes moved down toward her legs, peering at Rin, and back up to her face and back along the faces of the others.
He made a shortened laugh before springing toward them, claws extended.
Everyone else scattered but Kagome. Rin stopped half way from the others and called to her new friend. "KAGOME-CHAN!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kagome's eyes blinked and she raised her arms toward the youkai. "Inuyasha. . ." She mumbled, staring at him still as he fell toward her.
Sesshoumaru moved toward him, if only to prevent him from hurting Rin, but he wasn't fast enough.
"Inuyasha. . ." Kagome said again. The youkai let out a laugh and pulled back his arm. "Sankon~. . ."
"SIT!!!!!!" The youkai's eyes widened suddenly and the unfinished attack phrase fell from his lips. His necklace glowed, and he plummeted to the ground with a yelp.
Sesshoumaru stopped as he saw his brother's body stop in its flight and collide with the hard ground below.
There was silence for a minute while the dust cleared, then, harsh swearing was heard. "What in all the hells was that for?! What the fuck did I do now?!"
Inuyasha came out of the hole, wincing and examining his bruised body. He glared accusingly at Kagome. "Well?!"
Kagome sat, slumped on her legs in shock. "Inuyasha. . ." She breathed, examining his eyes, hands, ears, cheeks, taking it all in. He was back to normal, and the sinking feeling in her stomach was gone.
Tears started to form in her eyes and Inuyasha remembered her memory loss, and thought that he had caused her tears by yelling at her. "Kagome. . .hey. . .I didn't. . ."
But Kagome wiped the tears away swiftly and picked up the sword. "Here ya go."
Inuyasha examined the sword and looked back up at her. "Did I. . .?"
But he had to dodge as Sesshoumaru came down from the sky.
Inuyasha transformed the sword and looked toward the little girl that had suddenly appeared in his group. "Hey. . ." He started and saw his brother watching the girl as well.
He suddenly put two and two together and pointed at his brother accusingly. His eyes were wide and his mouth was open in shock. Everyone stared at him, but the group soon followed, and noticed what he was so stunned about. Their eyes grew wide and they stared back at the youkai Lord like he was crazy.
Rin danced around happily, playing with the flowers as she jabbered to Jaken who was oblivious to her. Kagome sat by the girl and had started to make flower wreaths out of the few flowers as well.
Finally, Sesshoumaru moved toward the forest, his face slightly pink. "Come Rin."
"Hai!" Rin called before getting up, a flower crown in her hand. Jaken stumbled after her, yelling for them to wait. Ah-Un completed the procession as Inuyasha and the others stared dumbly after them.
* * *
Inuyasha let Kagome braid his hair that night, after having found out that he had nearly killed her. Shippo made comments, but Inuyasha only brushed the little kitsune away lightly, glaring at him.
Kagome finally finished and put a flower crown on his head. "There ya go." She smiled and patted his head before starting on a new braid, weaving a flower in it this time. Inuyasha winced once when she pulled too hard, but didn't complain as he stared drearily ahead.
Miroku smiled at him and opened his mouth to say something when the hanyou glared at him, and he closed it again.
Sango sighed, staring up at the moon. "It sure is a nice night."
