Sorry for the long update, everyone! I started two other fics and updated 'New Years' so at least I was doing something worthwhile, rather than junk like homework.
Disclaimer:
I suck. I don't own anything but my new Legolas standee!
And Shik and my new bishie, who you will meet later in this chapter, hopefully. I'm thinking he should be her brother but I don't know because Shik's kind of a loner. Or whatever. I'll think about it while I write.
Chapter Nine: Stuff Happens
"I-I-Inuyasha?" Sango stuttered.
I pushed Shikaru off of me and looked at Sango. She looked at me in terror. I knew what she was thinking, but I don't have to do what she wants. Only what Kagome wants and what I want. Ggrrr.
"Sango," I said in the most menacing voice I could muster. "Go away."
Sango shook her head, but took a step backwards, then turned and ran away. I listened as her footsteps faded until I knew she was out of the cave completely.
"Inuyasha," Shik said to me. "Why did you have to be so mean? You could've said 'please,' and then she wouldn't have run."
I twitched my ears for a bit, not really thinking about her question.
"Inuyasha," she said in a babyish voice. "Can I have an apple?"
I sighed. She had told me her problem. A split-personality disorder. Her normal self is the one that fought me. She didn't always have this problem. She accidentally stepped in a puddle of strange green goop and since she can't read she couldn't tell what the sign by it said. So, here she is, with a split-personality disorder. She said there was something else wrong with her, too, but I shut her up by kissing her. Maybe I shouldn't have?
----Meanwhile...----
"KAGOME!!! KAGOME!!!!" Sango yelled outside.
"Sango? What is it?" Kagome asked from the bush she was berry picking from.
"It's Inuyasha! Come quick!"
Kagome blinked. "What's wrong?"
"Just come with me, Kagome!!!" Sango urged.
---Later...----
Kagome and Sango rushed into the cave. Shik and I were fast asleep.
"Sango! What did you bring me here for?" Kagome whispered – loudly.
"Ka...go...me...?" I asked groggily as I woke up.
"Inuyasha! Sango rushed me here! What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong. I don't know why you're so worried about nothing, Sango!"
Sango clenched her fists, then grabbed Kagome's arm.
"Sango?" Kagome asked, scared.
"Come with me, and I'll tell you what I brought you here for," Sango said. She threw a nasty glance my way, then dragged a frightened Kagome out of the cave.
"Oh, shit," Shik said.
"You said it," I replied.
"Oh, well. Can we do karaoke soon?"
"Sure, why not?" I said with a smile.
"YAY!" She clapped her hands happily. Sudden personality switch.
So, we went outside, holding hands. We knew that Kagome knew about us by now, so we didn't care about showing our feelings publicly. That's when there was a rustling in the bushes.
I whipped out Tetsusaiga, which didn't transform. Nice.
I created my own sword using my powers. A nice big one with emeralds in the hilt. Pretty. I reached into the bush the rustling came from and pulled out a small figure in a dark green cloak.
"OK, two things – who are you, and what do you want?" I demanded.
The little person whimpered.
"Let me handle this," Shik's kind, sensitive self said from behind me.
I dropped the person, and he started to cry.
"Awwwww," Shik said in a syrupy-sweet voice. "Did the big mean half-demon hurt you?"
The little guy stopped crying and turned his hooded head to look up at her. He nodded slightly to answer her question.
Shik knew just what to do. She whipped out a lollypop from the pocket of her green kimono and handed it to the small figure in front of her.
You are all thinking 'WTF? Is this little guy her bishie?' The answer is yes. He's just babyish because he... well, you'll see.
The little boy reached out and grabbed the candy with a long, slender, beautiful hand that was previously hidden in his cloak.
Note: When I give something that much detail, it's usually important.
Shikaru gasped.
"What is it, Shik?" I asked.
"I know who this is!" she said in amazement. "I just didn't know he was still alive!"
"INUYASHA AND SHIKARU! YOU GET YOUR LOUSY CHEATING BEHINDS OVER HERE!" a voice called from the entrance to the cave.
"Shit..." I said as we ran to the cave. The small person followed quickly, running quickly despite his size. In fact, it seemed that he grew as he ran. Wait, he DID grow as he ran! When we stopped in front of Kagome, the person was as tall as me!
"Shik, Inuyasha," Kagome started. "Is what Sango says true?"
Sango nodded rapidly, gave us a thumbs up, and winked.
"Well, yeah..." Shik said slowly.
"Oh, how am I going to say this, exactly?" Kagome asked herself. "Inuyasha, if you want, I can, you know, release you and you can become Shik's guardian fairy."
"Kago-"I started to say.
"Kagome," Shik interrupted. "I can turn him back normal. I'm pretty sure I can, at least. Then he won't have to be anyone's guardian fairy and we can both have him as ours, sort of like Cate Blanchett's character in 'Bandits.' She got both the guys!"
This way it's still kind of Inu/Kag for you disappointed fans!
"Hey, now that sounds great!" Kagome said.
I was a little skeptical.
"Hey, but I like my powers, and I ditched Tetsusaiga when we met that kid," I said. I turned around to see if the person had followed us, and I saw him – he was as tall as me.
"Um... Not even I expected that, and I'm his-," Shik started to say. "Oops."
"You're his what, Shik?" Kagome asked.
"Uh, I'll talk to you guys later," Shik said, and she grabbed the stranger's hand and ran off swiftly.
I nodded to Kagome, who nodded back, and I launched off into the air to follow the two runaways.
OK, that was alright, right?
The next chapter might be the last, but I will have a sequel. I have a fun idea for our new trio and trio-to-be (wink, wink). Next chapter contains extreme fangirl-ness because...
LEGOLAS IS COMING!
But I'm not telling you why, and he pretty much just has a short part explaining some stuff.
Oooh, idea! Review and tell me whether or not I should write the next chapter in Legolas's perspective!
REVIEW!!! I LOVE MY WONDERFUL REVIEWERS!!!
