Finding My Father

Chapter Five: A Very Irritating Visit

I followed Inuyasha back to Kaede's hut. He didn't know, he just burst in. I didn't knock either, his disturbance got enough attention. It just wouldn't be smart.

The sight of my mom made my stomach turn flips. She didn't appear the way she always had. She wasn't happy and active. She was unconcious. She wasn't so cold and pale now. She was smiling in her sleep. The blood was cleaned off of her. It hurt me that I had caused my own mother such suffering.

Inuyasha shook her awake violently.

He let go over her. Her eyes flickered open, "Se..." She blinked, her pleasant smile dripped off her face and was replaced by a scowl, "Oh, it's you...".

His fanged grin served as compensation for her frown. "Why aren't you burning in hell with Kikyo?"

I didn't know who Kikyo was, but she must have been trouble. As soon as her name was uttered everyone present was grieved or angered.

Inuyasha's hand balled into a fist.

Kaede put her hand over his fist and eased him gently to the ground. "My sister found her peace in death when Naraku met his end. Inuyasha was left all alone. Please be gentle on him, even if ye do bear a grudge against him. He has been through a lot because of ye and my sister Kikyo..."

Mom took a moment to absorb what Kaede said. A sinister smile appeared on her face. "So the clay psycho-bitch kicked it and now the moron is bitter." She laughed, cocking her head back as she did so.

"Mom, what's a psycho-bitch?" She stopped laughing abruptly.

"Ehm... a psycho-bitch is a Kikyo."

"Mom?"

"What?!"

"What's a Kikyo?"

"A Kikyo is a psycho-bitch made of clay, which you should never say because people don't like that word, Okay?"

My mom was dodging my questions. I hate it when she does that, and she's been doing it a whole lot lately.

"Why?"

"Well, ehm, People don't like that word because Kikyo is evil, and mean, ugly, stupid, bitter, hateful, manipulative, and overall just bad."

Inuyasha hopped instantly to his feet. He stood in an agressive stance. "Well you are too! Perhaps I should reunite you two!" He cracked his knuckles.

My ears flattened against my skull again, but this time it was different.

I moved out in front of him, a low but audible growl was escaping my throat. My amber eyes narrowed in anger. "You stay away from my mother! If you even touch her again I swear that you will beg for death before the end."

He had anger to match mine. He growled and took a step toward us.

Just then, Sango and Miroku entered Kaede's hut.

Mom disrupted my train of thought by adressing Sango. "Sango! We should go, NOW!"

Miroku looked at my mom in concern. "I will accompany you on this journey." He said as he scooped mom up and rushed her out of the hut.

Inuyasha jumped at me with his claws in position to do some serious damage, but I jumped out of his way effortlessly.

I was thankful that my mom wasn't lying there anymore, because he landed right where she had been lying.

He skidded through the hut making a gaping hole in the wall.

My parents and Miroku were leaving so I would have to stop fight Inuyasha and rush after them.

I did.

"I'm not finished with you, runt!" He yelled after me.

I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Yes you are! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!" Mom yelled at him.

He had some kind of weird seisure on the ground and finally passed out. Mom had amazing stamina for someone who wasn't even walking on her own. I guess he really was done with me. Serves him right. I didn't like him anyway.
