Roses are Red,
Violets are Blue,
I may not own Inuyasha—
But then, neither do you.
Chapter 16: Twitter twitter twitter
~.~.~.~.~.Inuyasha
I was still brooding.
I should be there, doing something, and where was I?
Sitting in this *&@##$ #$!$% *&^$% meadow!
(A/N: he keeps this up for about an hour, and as I see no reason to subject you to that, we are skipping ahead)
"Kagome," I whispered with my back to a tree, sorrow taking over.
Why did I care about her so much? Never, when I thought that Kikyo was dead, had I worried this much over it. I had thought that she was dead, mourned, and moved on—at least somewhat. She had not occupied my thoughts and haunted me. Not so this time. I couldn't even think of trying to think of anything but her.
Kagome—trapped in that cave with my half-brother.
Why?
Why did it have to be Sesshoumaru—of all people—who was there with her?
Could it not have been someone—anyone—else?
Suddenly I had an image of Naraku being there instead.
Ok, not anyone.
Almost anyone then.
Restless, I got up and paced.
Luckily it was summer—shorter nights, but still the darkness lasted far too long.
I clenched and unclenched my fists, painfully aware of my weakness and lack of any weapon but tetsusaiga, and in its katana form, it could hardly be called that.
I growled and flipped around again, pacing like a caged tiger. And I was in a cage; though not a physical one. I was in a cage made of weakness, the cage of my blood; half human, half demon; one strong, one weak. Normally I could break my cage, but one night of the month...
Why did it have to be tonight?
Why did she have to be in that &%#$@! cave?
Why with my half-brother?
Why with Sesshoumaru?
Why, why, why, why, why...

Her power had not hurt me, but it had hurt her.
WHAT WAS GOING ON?
What could have caused this?
Me, glowing with a golden power, her and her new violet energy; her power not hurting me when I glowed gold and yet stinging like normal when my aura turned green. Her sending up a wall of white fire, and then that power turning on her when she had nudged it with the purple.
At least, I am assuming that her power hurt her.
I think that her collapsing when she touched her wall put some credit behind my reasoning. After she touched it with the dark power it softened and flowed like water downhill toward her, briefly pooling around her form and then drawing into her, back to the well within her. She had lain still for a few minutes then, but soon she began stirring and then climbed to her feet, wincing.
"I think I know," was the first thing that she said when she had at last managed to steady herself.
I gave her a questioning glare.
"You know," she said impatiently, waving her hand at me, "about the power. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you didn't always have golden youki, did you?"
I looked down at her, still silent.
"Thought so," she said with a grin, and then winced again. "Good grief, is that what it feels like when anything is purified?"
"I would not know," I said, in a tone slightly more sharp then the one that I normally use. "You were the one who experienced it."
"Well, it felt like I was hit by a thunderbolt, and then some strong acid was poured all over me," she said in a cheerful manner.
I looked at her, slightly puzzled. Why, if it had felt like that, was she smiling?
Looking up at me, she smiled again, almost laughing out loud. "Well," she said, still in that deludedly happy manner, "lately I've had so many broken bones, wounds, concussions, fainting fits and pain that it's all starting to seem almost normal. See? What just happened was normal. Kind of. Well, not normal normal, but I'm getting so used to having some thing or another happen to me every few minutes..." she stopped then, looked at me, seemed to think on what she had been saying, and blushed. "Ah yea, and so I figure that you might as well be happy..."
I stared at her in a half wondering, half searching way. She must have hit her head pretty hard last time she had been knocked out.

I was babbling.
There was no excuse.
I was just babbling on and on and on and Sesshoumaru was giving me funny looks. Seeing as how he is just not the type of person to give funny looks, I began to see that I must have been acting truly odd.
I am sure, that had I been back home, my friends would've asked me what crack I was smoking.
And so what did I do?
I kept on babbling, trying to babble away my previous babbling and all the time I could feel my cheeks get redder and redder and redder and Sesshoumaru just kept on giving me those looks that said he was rather worried about my state upstairs.
A free piece of advice, When you find that you are babbling STOP TALKING! If you continue to talk, then you will babble more and just discredit yourself further.
And then you will get people giving you funny looks. People who normally don't give funny looks. WHY ME?!?!?!?!?!?!
Finally though, I did take a hint and shut up. I am sure at that point you could have fried an egg on my face, but hey, at least I managed to keep quiet.
Demons started showing up right about that time, which helped. It also brought to mind that we should probably start trying to get out of here. I voiced this, and Sesshoumaru gave me another of his almost sarcastic, finally-figured-it-out,-did-you? glares.
Ya know, I think that I annoyed him when I pulled a prima donna because he was annoying me.
Funny, not much gets under his skin.
After that, I put Rin in a protective bubble that I could move when I needed to and we started making our slow way to the mouth of the cave.
Needless to say (despite me using my miko powers and Sesshoumaru using his limited purification powers so that there would be less), there was a lot of blood.

No cliffie this time. Please review people! Really, aside from that, there is not a whole lot to say about this chapter. I do not think that it is the best that I have ever done, but keep reading.
The end is in sight!
And then *sigh* I will have another whole rat's nest of problems.
Why do I do this to myself? WHY?
Reviewer responses:
Sayori-chan- I must say, I considered it. I really did. But, you know, it just seemed a bit too serious for that... And yes, the whole power thing will most likely cause a whole rat's nest of problems for Kag and Sess, but it will also cause some good things... that you can't know about yet. Heh heh heh heh
Missyeru- Yea, it might be a good idea to read the entire chapter. /_\; ehe. No, the website is kagsess.forsaken-faith.org. (there is not a period after the org...) Sorry, autoformat changed the address to a link, and I guess that ff.net would not load it. .../_\...
WinterBlossom/Yuki*Sakura- I do too. It's sweet.
antisocial mint- Ok, here you go!
Sukera- Yes, your majesty
Faerie Demoness- Well, I thought of the whole power-mix thing a long time ago. Don't ask me how. I think in strange ways.
silverspun- Well, you got more, par your request. Luv me?
