After hours of trying to explain to a nurse why half of the room was missing, Kagome had been transferred to a different room. It was slightly bigger so that it could accommodate a larger group of people and family. Everybody was starving and left. InuYasha stayed behind, not wanting to leave Kagome 'unprotected from the evil bastards with cameras who don't have any consideration whatsoever' as he put it. He was sitting in a chair so conveniantly placed next to Kagome's bed. He kept staring at the floor, he couldn't look at her face. It was too hard to look at her without breaking down into tears. He needed to be strong for everybody else. It was enough that he knew it was his fault that she was in that bed, immobilized.
"Are you okay? You seem very down and out. It worries me."
"Heh. Since when do you worry?"
"I am your girlfriend right? I won't care if you keep acting like that."
She took his hand and tugged as hard as she could. He reluctantly sat on her bed with her. She pushed his head onto her lap and started to run her hands through his silky white hair. Not one snag, perfectly combed. She sighed and reclined against her pillows, closing her eyes. ~I guess I did like him… This wonderful feeling inside of me, coursing through my veins, making my heart beat faster… It's so familiar. From his hair, to his scent. Everything he is, an egotistical jerk with a big heart… If only I could remember so that I can remember what's nagging at my mind. Why I'm here in the first place.~
That was how Sango and the other's found them an hour later. Sango stared at InuYasha's mom. Her face was gleaming in wonder as she looked around the room. Rin was gaping. Sango sighed at the strangeness. A hand was waved over her eyes and she closed them, instinctively. Two arms encircled her waist from behind and she stiffened. Her eyes opened slowly and she saw what they were all staring at with such appreciation.
Butterflies were fluttering everywhere among the quiet room. Fireflies made the dark room look like the sky, lit up by their wonderful talent. Flowers adorned InuYasha's hair. Then she noticed the color he was radiating like crazy. ~His aura! Black and red: Stubborn, but with a big heart. Kagome's is pink, purple, and silver outlining. Some streaks of the violet and the rest were very obvious. Short tempered, innocent, and some grudges against other people.
Miroku tightened his grip on her as the doctor entered the room once again, though he seemed different. InuYasha sensed the man approaching his Kagome. He ignored the strong scent of alcohol being rubbed carelessly on Kagome's arm. Instead he concentrated on the contents of the needle that was about to pierce Kagome's skin. He growled and snatched the needle from the man's hands. Everybody stared. Sesshomaru grabbed the needle and injected it into the surprised guy's arm. The liquid coursed wildly through the man's blood stream. Pretty soon he was delirious, minutes away from death squirming on the floor. His moans of pain told of the agony he was going through, and they awoke Kagome. InuYasha was putting Kagome behind him in seconds and Sesshomaru held the offender by the neck.
"Who the hell are you?"
InuYasha was seething, tinges of purple tainted his beautiful gold eyes and Kagome squeezed his arm. Upon seeing Sesshomaru was taking care of the guy, who's crime she didn't know, she put her hand over InuYasha's eyes. He tensed, but she didn't take her hand away. His shoulder's sagged and she dropped her hand and leaned into him, weakened. ~The things I do to calm people down…~
"I spoke to you human," said Sesshomaru in his calm demeanor, "state your name and business here."
"N-Na-Narakuuuuuu…" he managed to moan. Sesshomaru growled his eyes, glinting with hatred. He kicked the man in the stomach.
"Why are you here?"
"B-Black G-Gaaaang… Killll woman…"
The man started screaming and with a final scream he died. His body dissipitated into nothing, something none of the people had seen before, at least they thought so. Kagome snapped her fingers and squealed happy at remembering something. The crowd stared at her thinking she had a twisted mind.
"No! It's just that I remembered something!"
Instantly they were surrounding her all wanting to see what she had to say about her memories. She stared at them nervously.
"Well, that guy wasn't real. He was a puppet. He cannot feel pain because he has no feelings. He is like a puppet being controlled by another. I'm guessing that would be Naraku. But what is strange is that the guy held a hint of the guy's memories and let go of the information. The guy controlling him couldn't stop him from releasing that information but killed him so that he wouldn't release anymore."
"Wow…"
She was turned to InuYasha, but he wasn't there. She turned to Sesshomaru, who wasn't there either. She panicked and looked for their dad, but he wasn't there. She looked into InuYasha's mom's eyes. She was calmly smiling.
"I think we need to have some tea soon. You'll have to get used to that."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"You goddamned bastard! Why are you threatening the life of my mate?!"
"Tsk tsk InuTaesho. Your son has a mouth that should be punished. That just might be soon enough. I will teach him myself."
"You bastard," InutTaesho growled at the unseen man, "I suggest you keep away from my family!"
"InuTaesho, for years now our clans have been at war with each other. This hasn't been heard of since the Sengoku Jidai period. Yet, your stubborness seems to be getting on my nerves. I must end with you quickly."
Sesshomaru whipped out his claws and sliced to his left and retracted. He stuck his elbow behind him and something hit the ground. He turned around and his eyes graced the dissipitating body of another 'puppet'.
"As much as your games might seem amusing, I would rather be fighting you. Do not disgrace me, Sesshomaru, with your petty games. They are far from being a challenge."
"For once you speak, dear Sesshomaru. First born son of InuTaesho. InuYasha was a bastard then?"
InuYasha growled. ~How dare he speak of my mother in such a way!~ He drew out his sword quickly and held it before him menacingly. It didn't look like much, it was nothing more than a mere rusty sword that seemed to have aged for hundreds of years.
"What are you planning to do with that toy InuYasha? For that is what it is, a mere toy. You cannot hurt any human, much less me. A hanyou such as yourself. I know what your life is like, you know what mine is like. Why is it that you stand by your so called family when they themselves jeer at you?"
"They don't jeer at me! Sesshomaru may, but that bastard does it to amuse himself!"
He jumped up and attacked the darkness. Naraku screamed out in pain. InuYasha's rusty sword was a huge fang, covered in the crimson liquid that was Naraku's blood.
"Fools! You'll pay dearly for this. Especially you InuYasha! Your mate will not be able to fight me in her weakened state. She is a weak human with no abilities whatsoever!"
InuYasha sighed as he heard the same speech that Naraku gave everytime they hurt him during a battle. The man was no match for them, no matter how hard he tried. But he was very hard to find, making him a worthy adversary. ~The man is such an idiot… You'd think he'd give up or something… At least he could change the speech…~
Finally Naraku's aura disappeared and left behind hundred's of puppet warriors. They all whipped out samurai swords, ready to attack. The trio of men smirked, extending their claws enticingly.
"Finally," said InuYasha, "a way to loosen up."
They attacked and men started to evaporate into nothingness. Sesshomaru stood still and his arm was an invisible weapon. All, if any, warriors that came within a meter of him were slashed to millions of pieces in mere seconds. InuYasha was having fun chasing some of the men and slashed at them with his magnificent sword. InuTaesho seemed to dance with the warriors. He evaded their attacks and turned to kick one and then twirled to kick some behind him. Pretty soon it was just him fighting. InuYasha and Sesshomaru were staring at him as he twirled while fighting men. The two brother's started walking away. InuTaesho realized it and defeated them all in a swipe of his claws.
"Aw guys," said InuTaesho, "it happens every single time I fight! Why do you have to leave like that?!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome's eyes were closed, deep in meditation. She was in the bed once again, her body propped up by pillows. Sango was cross-legged across from her, meditating as well. Miroku was closely being watched by a nurse that had been assigned to just that. Miroku had been threatened of being thrown out of the room and having a lawsuit against him for sexual harrasment. He sighed silently and sat on the floor, and meditated silently.
InuYasha entered the room and dismissed the nurse, who seemed very tired. He sat down and picked up Miroku. Miroku wasn't startled, but came out of his trance anyways. He quirked his eyebrows at InuYasha's face. Knowing dawned upon his face.
"She's okay, but she remembered a whole lot about herself. One of those being her HUGE dislike for you."
"So she remembers me, huh?"
"Yup. She also remembered the car accident. She blushed on us and didn't give us the whole story. Somehow I think your mom knows, though. She crept out of here silently. We couldn't find her anywhere. We're guessing she has a house here or something? And, I have been meaning to ask. Who's paying the bill?"
"Kagome. Her parents are rich and her insurance covers anything and everything."
"To think it's her parent's fault that she is here. I mean, they haven't even come to see her!"
"Yeah. But she would've probably remembered that first and kicked them out. Well, not her mom. Her mother had nothing to do with it all. She was only used as a threat."
"Truly? To think the same man that seems to be kind and generous is the cause of it all. You're father is the true cause behind it all… Sango gives him very threatening looks. I dare say she could kill him at a glance."
"He would deserve it."
Kagome opened one eye to see the two men disussing InuYasha's father. ~Were you trying to make me act like an idiot, or do you truly care?~ She closed her eye and went back to meditating. All of the memories surged through her mind. She hit an invisible barrier. ~As hard as I try it won't let me in. Why? They are MY memories after all. Unless…~ She started pushing against it, straining herself both mentally and physically.
InuYasha turned to see Kagome's eyes closed tightly, sweat covering her face. He quickly started taking all of the blankets off of her. Her cheeks were red and her hands were clenched into tight fists. Her nails were drawing blood and InuYasha quickly grabbed her hands and opened them. He held her hands and sat cross legged across from her, next to Sango. He waltzed into her memories through the link he had in her hands and the one that his youkai side allowed him because of the mate issue.
He watched her strain against an invisible barrier. He went up behind her and put his hands on hers and pushed alongside her.
"I don't think it would help you much if I remembered much of my destroying spells InuYasha!"
"It wouldn't be as fun!"
They pushed and soon the energy crackling from the strain of it trying to stay up was blinding. InuYasha pushed harder and harder and he felt the barrier give way. He was sucked into her memories and they entered his. Images of a little boy being held in a woman's arms, a man dying after being shot, boxes packed up, black clothes, then himself. The way she thought of him, it seemed so deserving, an egotistical jerk with an aura full of arrogance. He felt a knot in his throat. ~Why the hell does this hurt me? Am I that weak? I don't care for her, I don't!!~ He pushed away from Kagome's aura and he felt a black shadow push it's way into him. He couldn't fight it...
~* Oh no, what is that black shadow that has invaded our dear clueless dog demon? Can't tell you. J *~
