Dannee: ::Sparkly grin:: Hate cliffies, yes? Yep, I hate it when people
end it and you just have to wait and wait and WAIT until they get their
asses into gear and update. All the writers do it to me, so I figured I'd
be mean and try it out once...or twice...or 7 times.
Cat: Dannee is a horrible person with horrible problems.
Dannee: I do NOT have problems! YOU'RE the one with problems.
Cat: Cat knows that, Cat just wanted Dannee to be aware, since Cat is aware of the symptoms. Problems make Cat gassy.
Dannee: I am NOT GASSY!
Cat: Dannee wants to think that. Hooooo. Now give the nice reviewers their chapter, before Iden's Garden detonates herself! Then Dannee can get more reviews for chapter 4! =^.^=
Dannee: ^_____________________________________________________________^ Iden's Garden, my most loyal of reviewers! Cat and I will dedicate this chapter to you, just so you don't hurt yourself!
Sleeper Awoken
...What had just happened?
Was it all just another horribly real dream?
Upon gaining coconsciousness once more, Kagome mumbled and stirred under her heavy covers.
Why'd her side hurt her so bad...?
Like it was burning.
Claret brown eyes opened slowly and Kagome screamed for a second time that night.
Great yellow orbs were staring down at her closely, examining her, studying her.
As she backed herself against her wall defensively, she could make out more of the boy that was staring down upon her. He had been sitting right next to her bed as if he was waiting for her to wake up to roar at her. She didn't like being roared at, she could barley take it when her mom did such a thing, though with her mother it could not be helped.
Currently Inu Yasha's ears were squashing themselves against his skull to keep out the high pitched 'eeps' Kagome kept letting out.
What was she doing!?
There was no time for this!
"Kikyo, what the hell are you doing!? We have to get out of here-" Inu Yasha began.
It was a pitiful sight before him really. Here was the girl he had fallen in love with, sworn to protect, trusted with his own life, cowering against a wall with her arms up in defense. It almost hurt Inu Yasha in a way to see something like this, but his pride wouldn't let his emotions get the better of him.
Well...
Until he saw the gaping wound in her side that was still bleeding heavily.
"Shit, Kikyo!"
He swooped Kagome out of her bed and looked around her room.
Her room was safe, given that her light was on, but the upstairs hallway was a different story.
"How do you make this magic appear?" Inu Yasha inquired, pointing to the light in Kagome's ceiling.
"My light? Uh...You find the light switch, but I don't see why you have to carry me like this!" Kagome protested her current situation.
Inu Yasha ignored her last comment, trying to focus all his energy on figuring out what kind of sorcery a 'light switch' was.
He peered out into the dark hallway carefully, cautious not to let Kagome touch the shadows. Perhaps if he made a beeline for the door at the end of the hallway he could make it in time without...having what happened to Kagome happen again.
Of course he had known that she was in the small room in the kitchen, her heart was hammering so thunderously, it was amazing she hadn't woken up a couple of neighbors and their dogs. But that small white cup with the orange writing on it...that had him more interested.
It had teased his senses until he gave into its temptation.
The touch of steam warming his face...
The soft bubbling sound of warm water running through the thin noodles...
The wonderful aroma that it gave off, like fresh chicken...
The look of the noodles intertwined with one another as if they were dancing together...
And the taste...oooooh, the taste.
It was like heaven in his mouth.
How could someone so dim-witted, such as Kagome, make something that was so wonderful...?
"Are you DROOLING!? Put me down!" Kagome demanded, beginning to squirm in Inu Yasha's arms.
"Quiet, wench, I'm looking for this enchantment you call a light switch."
THUD!
Inu Yasha jumped back about five feet into Kagome's room before he realized what she had done.
She had simply slapped the side of the wall in the hallway by her room and, poof!
Lights!
Yet Inu Yasha had no idea how to react to this...
This...
His ears were flattened again as he glared out into the hallway.
"What're you doing!?!? I'm bleeding, you idiot! Get me some help or put me down!!!" Kagome screeched, batting at his face.
"I don't know what power you hold, witch..." He would've gone on if Kagome hadn't interrupted him with a piercing glare.
He bounded out into the hallway easily, already adjusted to Kagome's light weight, but just to piss her off...
"Wench, you're heavy, hurry and tell me where your medical supplies and antibacterial herbs are."
Her face was the color of his odd kimono.
That...
That was it!!!
"YOU JERK, WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM!? PUT ME DOWN, I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP!! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE, I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF!!" Kagome wailed at the top of her lungs.
TMP!
Kagome rubbed the sore spot on her ass and looked up at Inu Yasha cagily.
He certainly was taller than her by a long shot, even if she was currently on her butt.
"Don't need me? Fine. I'll stand by and watch you, see if you can do any better without me."
Laboriously, she rose to her feet.
The moment she straightened, her hands clutched her torn left side to ease some of the pain.
She hobbled over to the bathroom at the end of the hall and flicked on the light switch with ease.
She shot Inu Yasha a glare, but he stood impervious to her dirty looks in the middle of the hall.
What was that thing that attacked her in the pantry?
Who was this awkward stranger that wouldn't leave her side?
That jerk.
Jerk!
Jerk!!!
Jerk!!!!!!!!!!
Kagome stamped her foot on the floor to show her anger, but it only caused white-hot pain to explode throughout her torso.
...Gauze, check.
Antibacterial ointment, check.
Extra bandages check.
Medical tape, check.
Doctor...no check.
It was all she needed.
As she dressed her wound silently in the bathroom, Inu Yasha stood like a stone in the hallway.
Was he really the half-demon that they had put to sleep from 500 years ago like all the books said?
Well...how could he be?
All the research done by Kagome pointed towards the evidence in the books that made Inu Yasha actually seem like a decent, caring, kind, loving human being.
Then again, he wasn't human...
If that was possible.
Supposedly his half brother Sesshomaru was full demon, but the two despised each other.
Sesshomaru hated being tied down to serving his family and the miko they were indebted to, but he had no choice, since it was his father's decision to make.
"Hey, hurry up in there!"
Jerk.
"If you're getting tired of standing there for me, you could always just sit down!"
WHAM!
Kagome's face turned from irritated to amused.
He had just thrown himself headfirst into the floor!
She couldn't help it...
Ppppppffffttttt!
Her eyes arched upwards, and her mouth cracked into a grin.
She threw her head upwards and began to laugh feverishly.
Loud, unladylike guffaws floated through the air, dancing about in Inu Yasha's head, despite his best efforts to cover his ears by pressing them down against his head...again.
Of course it was nice to see the young girl finally laugh and be happy about something, but it was rather annoying.
He slowly rose again, fighting off the remaining fragments of the subduing spell he had been put under so many years ago.
Damn that word!!!
Dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"What was that all about!?" Kagome hiccupped from the bathroom, finishing her healing process.
"Feh." Was all she got in return.
That just made her giggle more.
She walked out of the bathroom slowly and turned off the light.
It was all she did, really.
Then Inu Yasha had to go and get all alert and creep the hell outta her, like there was something in the bathroom.
She looked into the black room and saw nothing but...
Black.
"It's in there, can't you sense it?" He murmured.
"It? What's it!?!?"
"It wants something you have, Kikyo. Otherwise it wouldn't have come back..."
"WHAT'S IT!?"
"It's a demon."
Kagome stumbled over to Inu Yasha and hid behind him.
Yes.
He would make a good shield in the future.
"Demon!? In my house!? And you can sense it!?"
"Think, Kikyo. Focus on the bathroom; see if you can sense the evil aura that's concentrated in there."
Kagome began to concentrate on the bathroom from behind Inu Yasha, then frowned.
"Will you stop calling me Kikyo!? That's NOT my name! My name's Kagome! Ka-Go-Me!!!"
Inu Yasha glowered at her.
"CONCENTRATE!"
"YIEEEEE!"
She snapped into focus and stared into the blackness that overwhelmed the bathroom.
The blackness...
"Wait! That black...it's...it's something-ah..."
She shrunk under the glare Inu Yasha was giving her.
"Yes. That something is the demon that ripped the Sacred Jewel out of you. That demon is the who we have to get it back from!"
"We!? No, no no no no no no no no no."
"What's your problem now?"
"We, as in, we both get it back? As in we both work together? No, no thanks, I'm good."
"WHAT!? It's your DUTY to get back what you're supposed to protect! What's your problem?"
"YOU! And...THAT!"
Kagome's slender finger pointed accusingly at the bathroom.
She could definitely sense it now, the evil aura swirling in the dark.
She shivered.
"GO AWAY!" She shouted at it.
"Feh."
Kagome looked up at the back of Inu Yasha's head heatedly.
"Well what am I supposed to do!?"
"Get the Shikon No Tama back before it become a part of the demon."
"A part...?"
He sighed tetchily, obviously not wanting to explain everything to the confused girl.
"If a demon gets ahold of the Sacred Jewel, and holds onto it long enough, it starts to become one with the demon, supplying it with power. Eventually the demon will become so powerful, it'll be unstoppable and probably end up enslaving most of your filthy kind."
She looked down.
What could she do?
She wasn't any good at combat skills...
Perhaps she could throw a few math problems at it and hope it explodes, like her brain did every math test she took.
Or maybe she'd give it a few names and dates of ancient wars and watch it melt, like her body did every history assignment she was assigned.
"W-what do I do?"
Inu Yasha turned around and looked down at the girl who was gazing at the floor.
"We must fight to get the Sacred Jewel back as quick as possible. Do you have any weapons?"
"Kitchen knives?"
"Sounds weak. Something strong, you've got to have something."
A light bulb clicked on above Kagome's head.
"My mom keeps an old bow and some arrows in the shrine!"
"That might actually work, do you know how to use it?"
"...No."
"You're worthless!"
"I could TRY!"
"Trying isn't good enough!"
"Well it's better than sitting around and doing nothing up here!"
There he went again!
Face first, CRACK, and into the ground.
Kagome passed into a state of hysterics as Inu Yasha lay writing angrily on the ground, trying urgently to get back up.
"Why do you do that!?" She giggled.
"THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT NOW, WENCH!" He bellowed, getting back up again as the spell wore off.
Kagome scowled and nodded.
"Right, let's get the Shikon No Tama back!"
