Chapter 13: The Test of True Emotions, Forgotten Memories
By InuShemeeko
Inuyasha yawned and blinked his eyes, as the sun rose over the horizon. He felt something warm lying against him. Inuyasha glanced down at his chest, the sweet flowery scent of Kagome drifted to his senses. That's when he felt his human form changing back to his hanyou form.
"Wow, I almost slept through my transformation. Then again it's nice just being here with Kagome."
Inuyasha's black hair returned to it's beautiful silvery-white, his eyes to their bright piercing gold. Once the transformation was completed, Inuyasha looked down at Kagome's sleeping form.
'Kagome, if you only knew how I feel about you. But you can never know you would be in danger if I ever told you.'
Inuyasha sighed.
"Kikyo, how I feel about you is true I do care about you. In order to protect Kagome from you I will give myself freely to you. If only to keep Kagome safe from you.'
When the smell of blood drifted to Inuyasha's nose he glanced down at Kagome. Then to his left hand that had been resting on Kagome's neck. He noticed two horizontal marks on Kagome's neck. Inuyasha's frightened eyes watched as small drops of blood escaped from the wounds.
'Did I just do that to Kagome? No, I couldn't have.'
He then looked down at two of his claws on his left hand. There was the slightest smell of Kagome's blood upon them. Inuyasha stared in horror at his left hand; he then gently removed his haori and wrapped it around Kagome. Inuyasha then lowered her gently to the ground. Once he was sure she was safe, Inuyasha took off to clear his head.
As Inuyasha sat on top of a tall hill over looking a riverbank of clear blue water, he kept questioning himself; over and over again inside of his mind.
'Why did I do that to her? I hurt her and I don't know why.'
Inuyasha's right hand then quickly went to his neck and he slapped it. He then noticed something floating to the ground.
"Oh, Myoga it's you. What do you want? Besides lunch."
The flat body of Myoga spoke as it hit the ground.
"It is always a pleasure biting you, Lord Inuyasha."
Inuyasha eyed the flea for a moment.
"Now, what are you up too?"
Myoga hopped on to Inuyasha's shoulder.
"I followed you here to hopefully answer the questions, that have been plaguing your mind my lord."
Inuyasha looked at Myoga with wide eyes.
"What do you know about what I'm thinking right now?"
Myoga answered him in a calm steady voice.
"You are concerned over the two marks that you left on Lady Kagome are you not?"
Smoke spiraled above Inuyasha's head.
"I have no idea what you are talking about. I didn't see anything on Kagome's neck."
Inuyasha then turned away from Myoga.
"Just as I expected, my lord you do carry feelings for Kagome. Lord Inuyasha when you saw the drops of blood oozing from the back of Kagome's neck, did you feel the desire to taste it?"
Inuyasha's reaction was that of total shock.
"What! Are you crazy? No. So what if I did?"
"It is just as I thought your demon half yearns for you to take a mate, for without your knowledge you have done so."
"However, you never let yourself feel those feelings unless you are in your human form."
Inuyasha sneered at Myoga.
"Your crazy you old flea. Feh. Why would I choose Kagome as a mate?"
'As if I don't know, how dumb can I be? Kagome is smart and she's really caring. She's pretty too I mean how can you miss it?"
Myoga then questioned Inuyasha one more time.
"Lord Inuyasha, do you have any memory of anything that happened inside of the Red Mist Caves?"
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow as he looked at Myoga.
"No. Why?"
Myoga sighed as he looked at Inuyasha.
"How unfortunate, my Lord. It is truly a shame."
Inuyasha eyes raised in question, as he gently picked Myoga up between his fingers.
"What the hell, are you talking about Myoga? Do you know something that I don't?"
"Sadly Lord Inuyasha, I do not. There is one thing that is bothering me."
Inuyasha frowned down at Myoga.
"And what's that Myoga?"
"The bite mark that was on Shimiko yesterday."
"Yeah so what of it?"
Myoga blinked his eyes at Inuyasha.
"You mean you really don't remember how she got it?"
Inuyasha pressed his fingers against Myoga.
"If I knew how she got it stupid. I wouldn't be asking you now would I!"
*************************
Shimiko jerked quickly awake, she sat up to see Kiyoshi still sleeping beside her. She got up quietly as her blackish-brown lighten and became bronze once more. Her eyes returned back to their bright amber- green. As she stood by the river's edge images flashed before her mind's eye.
~~~~~~Dream~~~~~~~
A demon Inuyasha with red glowing eyes had grabbed her tightly by her neck with his fangs. He had then forced himself one her savagely. The dream then shifted to a little boy staring back at her with golden eyes.
"Mommy? Help me mommy don't let them hurt me."
A large gray wolf demon appeared out of the shadows and grabbed the child. Shimiko had reached out to grab him only to grab air.
"Nooooooo! Don't take him."
"Mooooommmmy!"
The little boy's voice soon faded into the shadows.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That had been when Shimiko had jerked awake. Shimiko placed a clawed hand to her head as she shook it.
"What does it all mean I don't understand?"
She jumped as a voice spoke behind her.
"You okay, Shimiko? We should be heading back now."
Shimiko looked over at Kiyoshi and shook her head.
"Yeah I'm fine. Let's get a move on."
************************
Yori looked over at Shimiko and Kiyoshi as they made their way back into the camp.
"Well at least you two have made it back. So how come you and Kiyoshi didn't come back last night?"
Shimiko gave Yori a look of disgust as she listened to Yori's singsong voice.
Keh. Like it's any of your business."
Yori batted her eyelashes at Shimiko.
"Well, soorrrrrryyy."
Shimiko folded her arms over one another.
"Is Renjro up yet? We need to get moving."
Both Kiyoshi and Yori looked shocked as they looked at Shimiko. Kiyoshi responded first.
"Shimiko, I thought we were going to travel with Inuyasha and the others for a while?"
Shimiko sighed as she looked from Kiyoshi to Yori.
"Fine we'll stay here, until Kagome and Inuyasha return."
She then leapt from one tree to another, as Kiyoshi called out to her.
"Shimiko where are you going?"
"I'm going to go scout the area."
With that said, she vanished into the trees. Miroku spoke from behind Kiyoshi.
"It would appear that Shimiko's attitude is no different then Inuyasha's."
Sango spoke from behind Miroku.
"She seems so quiet most of the time, as well as gentle. And yet she can be as rude as Inuyasha."
Kiyoshi shook his head.
"No you're wrong. She's not usually like this. Something is wrong; something has to be upsetting her. I wish I knew what?"
*****************************
As Shimiko sat down on a tree branch, she thought to herself.
'I can't tell anyone about this dream. At least not until I know what it means."
Shimiko looked down toward the ground only to see Inuyasha standing below the tree.
'Inuyasha? Did we mate with one another, yesterday inside of the cave? Was that little boy I saw in my dream our son?'
Shimiko had to admit that the boy had looked a bit like Inuyasha. Only the boy's silver hair had been a dark silver, almost gray. However, he had, had the same golden eyes as Inuyasha. That's when Shimiko heard Inuyasha call her name.
"Hey, Shimiko you around here? I need to talk to you."
Shimiko dropped gracefully down beside Inuyasha.
"What do you need to talk to me about?"
"It's about yesterday in the cave. Do you remember anything that happened after we entered the cave?"
Shimiko's eyes burned into Inuyasha as she lied.
"No. Do you?"
Inuyasha shook his head.
"No I was hoping you had."
Shimiko then smiled at Inuyasha.
"You should get back to Kagome."
Shimiko turned to leave then looked over her shoulder.
"Oh and Inuyasha the mark you made on Kagome's neck will fade in a few days. However, it will never go away. You should let your feelings be know to her."
Inuyasha stared after her.
"Wait how do you know?"
When Shimiko turned to look at Inuyasha the wind whipped around Shimiko allowing him to pick up Kiyoshi's scent that lay upon her.
"I know Inuyasha, because I now have a mate for life. Go ahead and try to hide your feelings, as well as the wanting that you feel for a mate. You do that and your body will betray you. Trust me this month will be hard for you to bare."
Shimiko then made her way away from Inuyasha. She knew that if he didn't act in his hanyou form, his demon half just might do it for him and it wouldn't be pretty. However, only time would tell. ***************************************
Inuyasha made his way back to where he had let Kagome sleep. Her body was exhausted from yesterday and he knew Kagome needed to rest. As Inuyasha knelt down beside Kagome's sleeping form he took in her beauty. He then felt heat rise from inside him. There was a part of him that wanted to taste her, but he wouldn't let it. He would protect Kagome even if it meant protecting her from himself.
"Hey, Kagome it's time to get up ok."
Kagome yawned as she looked at Inuyasha.
'Was he just being nice to me?'
Kagome then remembered the heated kiss they have shared last night in each other's arms. Inuyasha then knelt down beside her.
"Come on get on. We got a lot of traveling to do before you go home next month."
Kagome nodded her head as she climbed on. Inuyasha thought to himself as he jumped from tree to tree.
'Do you worry Kagome I won't ever let my demon half hurt you. I don't care what anyone says I just couldn't do that to you.'
