Finding My Father
Chapter Eight: Real Strength
I felt so helpless, I couldn't move or fight. So afraid... I was going to die, and so guilty that I was going to leave my poor mothers. I couldn't even speak now. It hurt too much to try.
Miroku and my moms could not approach me. They feared for my life. "What is it that you want?!" Demanded Miroku.
I could just feel the beast smiling. "I want my brother's life back, the one you slayed on your way here. You can't give it back, can you? I know! I'll make us even!"
He squeezed me harder. His claws pierced through my arms, into my chest. I whimpered. It hurt so bad, how could I help it?
The best let go of me and dropped me very abruptly. There was a horrible sound coming from the beast; as if it were drowning in its own blood. I found myself looking placidly at my violent surroundings from the ground.
Someone had skewered the beast's neck with a rusty sword. Who's hand was grasping the hilt? It was someone I didn't recognize. He did resemble Inuyasha though, he had no dog ears. This man had black hair...
Black hair like I had! Inuyasha must turn human sometimes too! I thought that I was the only one who did that. I can't believe it. He's saving me!
He pulled out his rusty blade, about ten inches of it were red with that awful monster's blood.
Before it could make another move Inuyasha stabbed it in the gut.
My vision was getting blurry.
He ripped upward through the demon's flesh with it.
Everything went black.
Sunlight violated my closed eyes, and I awakened. I was being carried by... Inuyasha?
I stretched out, it didn't hurt. I was completely fine! "You saved me..." I said to Inuyasha in amazement.
"Feh" he said as he dropped me onto the the dirt. I got up and scampered beside him.
"And you did it while you were human! You must be really strong!"
He turned his nose up at me, crossed his arms and continued walking. I walked quickly beside him, while deep in thought. After a few moments I spoke.
"I don't get it. I had proven myself stronger than you back at Kaede's hut, but last night you were much stronger than me!"
"You ARE just as dumb as Sesshomaru... Someday kid, you'll figure out that real strength isn't just in how hard you can punch or how fast you can run."
I gave him a puzzled look.
He was glancing at my moms and Miroku walking in a tight formation. He seemed to be longing for something.
