Chapter 6: Respective Brother
By InuShemeeko
Yori placed a cool compress to Shimiko's fevered brow; she then looked around her at the new friends she had made today. Shippou, laid curled up next to Kirara for a change. Miroku was leaning against a tree asleep while Sango was lying on the ground wrapped up in a blanket. Her eyes then fell on the young miko, she had been so kind and helped Yori wrap and bathe Shimiko's wounds. Kagome was now asleep in her sleep bag; she awoke with a start at the sound of Inuyasha's voice.
"Hey, how is she doing?"
Yori looked quickly up at him, "Not so good I'm afraid."
Inuyasha looked down at the bandages that where wrapped around her wounds. He then gasped.
"Her wounds they haven't healed yet. It's been five hours they should have healed by now."
Yori shook her head sadly.
"The poison is her blood stream is keeping her body from healing as it should. And a fever has now over took her body we don't have a lot of time."
Inuyasha looked at the young coyote-demon.
"There has to be something we can do."
Yori blue-green eyes were set with determination as she stood with Shimiko in her arms. It wasn't easy but she managed it. Shimiko let out a small moan as Yori tried to get a better hold on her. Inuyasha looked at her puzzled.
"Hey, where are you taking her?"
Yori looked back at him.
"You wanted to know if there was anything we could do for her right? Well there is and that is where I'm taking her."
Inuyasha was still confused.
"You're taking her where?"
Yori glanced one more time at Inuyasha before walking onward.
"I'm taking her to Yasahiro so he can heal her."
Inuyasha yelled after her, "Who the hell is Yasahiro?"
Yori smiled at Inuyasha as he leapt after her.
"He is Shimiko's half-brother."
Yori watched as Inuyasha followed after her. He then came and took Shimiko from Yori. Her eye burned as she watched Inuyasha shifted Shimiko in his arms.
"I appreciate what you have done from us but this doesn't concern you."
Inuyasha shook his head.
"She risked her life to save Kagome as well as my life. So if this is the only way to repay her I'm going to do it."
**********************************************
Kagome slowly made her way out of her sleeping bag. She then slowly crept after Inuyasha and Yori as they walked deeper into the forest. Kagome winced once as her ribs started to ache. Inuyasha would kill her if he knew that she had been hurt and she didn't tell him. But she knew her ribs where bruised and one or two of them might be crack she wasn't sure.
'He's carrying her but where are they taking her. And who is this Yasahiro?'
Kagome made sure that she stay far enough away that Inuyasha couldn't pick up her scent. She was unsure of Yori her nose was a lot better then Inuyasha's but it was just a chance she was going to have to take.
*************************************************************
Inuyasha followed Yori the forest. The farther they went in to the forest the more the more on edge Inuyasha became.
"Are you sure you're going the right way? You better not be walking me into a trap or anything."
Yori snorted at him. "Yes I know where I'm going and secondly if I recall I told you that this wasn't any of your concern."
Inuyasha muttered something under his breath.
"Stupid coyot."
Yori continued to walk as she responded to Inuyasha's last commit.
"You wouldn't be speaking to me like that, if Shimiko was conscious now would you Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha swallowed and then looked down at the female hanyou he carried in his arms.
'She's got a point. I probably wouldn't be talking to her like that if you where awake. I've seen you fight no one but Sesshomaru and Naraku have ever been able to match me until I met you.'
*****************************************************************
Kagome took in a couple of labored breaths as she followed after Yori and Inuyasha. Her ribs hurts so bad now from all of the walking she wasn't sure how much farther she could go. Kagome checked her back for her bow and arrows and sighed when she felt them. She was now far enough away for them not to be able to smell her and close enough see them. If they kept going as fast as they were going, she would loss them for sure.
'Alright Kagome it's time that you show Inuyasha that your not just a weak human.'
Kagome pushed herself up from the tree she had been leaning against and started on her way. She could help but wince as she held her sides as she moved onward.
**********************************************************************
Yori lead Inuyasha into a very beautiful valley. Trees and flowers grew everywhere and the magnificent waterfall poured over the side of a huge mountain. As the water hit the pool it splashed back up to make the water seem as if it were made of diamonds. Inuyasha was taken aback as he looked at the valley in wonder.
"Wow, I've never seem anything like this before in my life."
A smooth, gentle, manly voice spoke to Inuyasha from a thicket of trees.
"Of course you have Inuyasha. You have even spoke of it in the dark of night when you think no one is listening, and when you are sure that she is asleep and can not hear you say it."
Inuyasha pulled in a breath. 'How would he now about that? I'll never told any one about how I feel about her."
Yasahiro stepped out from the thicket. His long bronze and white hair waved back and froth as he walked toward Inuyasha and Yori.
"Telepathy, Inuyasha it's how I can find my enemy weakness before he can do anything about it."
Yasahiro bowed when he stopped in front of them. He then took Yori's hand and kissed it.
"It has been a long time Yori. You are not the scrawny pup you where when my little sister found you."
All Yori could do for an answer was nodded her head. Yasahiro then turned his attention to Inuyasha, who was holding Shimiko in his arms. Gasped when he got a good look at her. Her face was marred, with so many cuts and bruises he could barely make out that it was his half-sister. Shimiko's body was in the same condition as her face.
"Laying her over here."
Yasahiro walked toward the pool of water and knelt. Inuyasha then walked over to him and placed Shimiko on the ground next to him. Yasahiro waved his left hand over her body trying to find the wound in which the poison had entered. Once he had found the entry wound of the poison he started to undress the wound. He dipped a cloth into the clear pool of water. Yasahiro's nose quivered at the smell of the medicated wound. Who ever had dressed this wound has done their best to draw out the poison.
As he gently started to clean the wound, he jumped when Shimiko cried out in pain even though she was in a deep sleep induced by the demons poison. Beards of sweat rolled down her face as she tried to fight Yasahiro as he unwrapped more of the dressing.
"Inuyasha your miko friend is to be commended for her skills at medicating wounds as well as dressing them."
Once the wound was clean, he watched as dark blood started to pour from the wound. His eyes burned a deep yellow as he turned to face Yori. There was no way to mask the anger he was feeling.
"You should have brought her to me sooner. The poison has been in her longer then I first thought. Had I been able to sense it I would have healed her earlier."
Yasahiro sighed, as he smelled the fear that was starting to roll off of Yori. His eyes lighten and went back to their beautiful bronze color.
"Yori, you and I should be very thankful that the young miko dressed this wound well. For the herbs that her had placed on this wound were keeping the poison at bay, had she not done that Shimiko would not have made it to tonight."
Yasahiro spread his hands over his sister and let his healing light shine over her. Inuyasha blinked as a bright golden light spread out from Yasahiro's hands. Many of Shimiko's bruises were gone. Inuyasha watched as Shimiko's wounds started to pull closed. Yasahiro then let his arms fall to his sides. Inuyasha looked over at him.
"Hey are you alright?"
Yasahiro looked up at Inuyasha, his eyes weren't as bright as they had been at first.
"I'm fine Inuyasha. I just need a moment to collect myself."
He then looked over at Yori.
"I have healed all of her major wounds I have also pulled as much of the poison from her blood that I could. The rest of it is up to Shimiko, the fever is still strong on her I did what I could to break it."
*****************************************************************
Kagome could believe it she'd lost Inuyasha and Yori, as well as Shimiko.
"Darn how could I have lost them they were just right here." Kagome looked around her hoping to catch sight of Inuyasha, but with no luck. She then felt a presence behind her.
"Inuyas.....?"
Kagome gasped as Sesshomaru stepped into view.
"Sesshomaru. What do you want?"
Sesshomaru moved quickly behind Kagome, his long white hair whipped behind him in the faint breeze that blew.
"How careless of my half breed brother to leave his toys lying around unprotected. Since you leave yourself so open, I will take advantage of it."
Kagome started to reach behind her for her bow and an arrow. She gasped as Sesshomaru was suddenly there knocking the bow and arrow from her hands. Knocking her to the ground. Sesshomaru then lifted Kagome off of the ground.
"I still can not see what my little brother could possibly see in you. You are nothing but a bothersome pest."
Those words hit Kagome like a ton of bricks. Could that truly be all that she was a pest?
'No it can't be, Inuyasha cares for me. True he has never said those words but oh well. He has never really been good at saying it except to Kikyo.'
Kagome snapped back to life as she felt herself getting lighter. She started to struggle then she realized that she was float in the air with Sesshomaru. His arm wrapped tightly around her waist. Kagome thought she heard her ribs crack for real.
"Just you wait till Inuyasha finds out that you have me. You're going to get it."
Sesshomaru then reached his hand up and swiped the side of her face with his claw. Blood seeped from the wound and rolled down her cheek. Sesshomaru smelled the fear that was coming from her.
"Don't worry I can control the poison in my claws when I wish. If I kill you will do me no good. Your blood will lead Inuyasha right to me."
He them smirked at Kagome.
"Then away my poison could make you ill but it will not kill. For I want you alive for the moment."
********************************************************************
Yasahiro stiffened as a new scent filled the thicket. He then turned and looked at Inuyasha. Inuyasha sneered and then muttered.
"Sesshomaru."
Fear then stuck Inuyasha as a familiar smell drifted toward him. Blood but it wasn't just anyone's blood it was Kagome's blood. It was moving toward them fast.
"Kagome."
Yasahiro could see the fear etched in his eyes. He truly did care for this miko. Inuyasha looked all around him.
"Sesshomaru you bastard! Where are you and what the hell have you done to Kagome?"
(A/N: That's all for now. Sorry it took me so long. This chapter is about eight pages so I hope you guys lived it. Read & Review please thanks.)
