Ah, wait, here it is... Own Inuyasha... no, no, sorry. Not quite.
BTW: Thank You so much for all TWO reviews I've received.
And for the record, here is my explanation:
Basically last time Kagome and Inu went from her era to theirs to find some herbs to help Keade (the gang's in Kagome's Era) and found the village in pieces, with Naraku standing in the middle of it all. The got his shard and began to run back to the well. Sorry if it was confusing.
Blood Change
Last Time:
"Kagome, catch!" (Back to Kag POV) The large shard flew trough the air, instinctively being caught by me. My thought process stopped when I noticed that I was purifying it. 'Hm. That's interesting." My mind was too stunned to comprehend the information. 'Dark color goes bye-bye.' From the corners of my eyes, I could see Naraku ordering his hoards after me with a wave of his hand, but I was not thinking.
"Kagome, Run!" As a brainless git, I agreed to anything 'okay'. I ran.
Now on to the story:
Chapter One
The well was getting closer and closer as Kagome ran. Sweat poured down her temples. 30 yards, 25, 20, Closer and closer.
15
10
A bloodcurdling scream arose from Kagome's lips. Pain erupted from her side as the claws from a bear youkui hit her. Inu Yasha turned, seeing Kagome lying on the dirt, demons surrounding her.
"No! Kagome!" No thought process occurred, now everything was instinct, telling him to kill those who threatened his pack-mate. Everything other than her would die. They were threats to be eliminated. Red threatened to bleed into his eyes, only Inu Yasha's sword holding back a complete transformation. Sound erupted from their mouths, and blood splattered across the forest floor. A cry of pain reverberated through the air, ripped apart as their lives ended. It was a mass of fir, claws, fangs, scales and talons with blood everywhere. Stroke after stroke of his sword whipped through the air, eliminating all until there were none. Save Naraku.
Sniff.
Naraku's scent filled Inu Yahsa's nostrils. His mind reeled at Naraku being that close.
"Congratulations. Really now, hand over your shards. You may have defeated my frail demon hoard, but really, I must take all of your shards."
Inu Yasha dropped his sword.
(Naraku's Point of View)
I approached the clearing, and saw Inu Yasha standing upright panting like the dog he clearly was. Even his name said so, crap's sake! What the hell was his father thinking, naming him DOG demon? Come on. One really could be more creative.
For example, I could excel at creating any sort of evil battle scheme. Recently, I had stolen Kouga's shards, not too hard. But I had broken his heart. Broken his body. Broken his soul. Transforming into Kagome, I wove my webs of deceit throughout his clan, and wound them around his heart. And I hurt him in every way imaginable. If he survived my attack after that, he must have committed suicide somewhere. Ah, pure bliss.
But this was confusing. Inu Yasha stands before me, proud, after defeating my whole hoard, with only a few scratches, barely bleeding. Somehow he is acting on even less brain mentality (AN: does that make any sense Naraku?) than usual, and he DEFEATS my hoard on his own without the pesky monk and Tijia, and is HARDLY injured. I swoop and land on one of the many tree limbs in his forest.
"Congratulations. Really now, hand over your shards. You may have defeated my frail demon hoard, but really. I must take all of your shards," I said.
Inu Yasha dropped his sword. His eyes are red.
Holly Crap! He's a full demon! RUN AWAY!
(AN: haha, Monty Python rocks! Remember the part when the killer rabbit was attacking and they said ... EVERYONE GLARES ... look, over there! Its Naraku. He ran into a tree! Naraku: Huh? Exit stage left)
(Normal POV)
Naraku left, but his scent remained.
Inu Yasha ran, scooping up Kagome into his arms (after putting his sword back into his sheath) and ran towards the well. Kagome became an even looser figure in his arms, and Inu Yasha put on an even faster burst of speed.
With her savior's arms wrapped around her petite frame, Kagome's last thought:
Oh, gods, help me survive. Let me be stronger.
(Hours later in Kagome's Era)
Tick.
Tock.
Tick.
Tock.
The sound rang though Inu Yasha's delicate ears. He could not hear himself think as he paced though the white halls a 'hos-pee-tal' Kagome's mother had called it. However, the place was more like an uncomfortably white death fortress. Inu Yasha wasn't even sure that it was safe here. Smells too much like death. Kagome's mother, or 'Aunt Nyoko' as she had asked him to call her in front of other humans, said Kagome was in a 'ko-ma', whatever that was.
Wait
He had just thought 'Kagome'. Not wench or bitch. But her actual name. It must be that woman rubbing off on her. The closest thing that that female came to in deserving a title was in that she was Kikyo's reincarnation. And that bitch didn't even deserve that. No way in seven hells would he say that. Nope. Not at all. No way.
Damn, denial sucks. Truly.
I miss Kagome's enthusiasm. She could die at any time, leaving everyone. Like Kikyo. She left everyone, including me. But Kagome's not like Kikyo. They are different. Kikyou's dead, Kagome's alive. Kagome's eyes are blue, Kikyo's are gray. And Kagome is far too emotional. Kikyo is so quiet, and my past love. My true love. Kikyo is elegant. Kagome is ... natural.
Anyways, Kagome was in a 'Ko-ma" or sleep-like state, the 'Dok-ters" had said. Sounded like what he had been though on that damn tree. But how was she gonna wake up? That girl didn't have a magical arrow that Inu Yasha could remove. Damn Naraku. He will pay for hurting so many people.
Kagome
What is going on in her mind? Is she dying because I passed her the jewel? Wait a minute, where is the jewel?
"DAMN IT KAGOME!"
"Is there anything wrong? Kagome's obviously not here right now, can I answer for her or take a message?"
"No," Inu Yasha's distanced voice replied.
"What's your trouble dear?" Aunt Nyoko persisted.
"The jewel is gone, damnit."
Aunt Nyoko tried to calm him. "It will be ok." The realization hit for Inu Yasha.
"She used it." This was barely a whisper from his mouth, but it could be heard. "She USED it. That jewel was MINE!" Aunt Nyoko tried to sooth him. "I'm sure she didn't mean it. What matters is she is alive. The Aunt Nyoko's brown eyes looked forlorn as she continued "But if nothing changes, she wont be." Kagome must have got her father's eyes, wavy hair, firm jaw line, and strong spirit. But Kagome's lips, nose, and everything else were her mother's. Kagome's kind nature, everything was her mothers.
"Um... Mrs. Higurashi, Mr. uh..." a man's voice filled the two's ears (past Inu's tight hat in inu's case) "Do I need to tell you short stuff?" "Yasha! I am so sorry, he's just angry that his cousins hurt, that's all," Nyoko's rushed voice apologized.
"Oh. Ok... ah, now Mrs. Higurashi, your daughter is in a sad state with all of the blood loss," the male nurse stated. "It would take a miracle to keep her alive."
Inu Yasha snorted. "She's gonna make it. She always does. Plus she has a miracle."
"Sir, um, I don't know how to tell you this but she's dying. No amount of blood we can pump in there is gonna change that."
"I said, SHE'LL LIVE, DAMN IT!"
The man retorted "ok, you can go take a look yourself then. Room 102 on the left down the hall."
"Good," Inu Yasha grabbed Nyoko's forearm. "Lets go." Storming down the hall, thrusting open door 102 while dragging Nyoko, Inu Yasha arrived at Kagome's room. He peered inside. Her chests moving. He released Aunt Nyoko, walked over to Kagome's bedside, and placed his hand on her forehead, like he had seen her so to him so many times. Kagome's warm. Still alive.
(Kagome's POV: dreamscape)
"Eh?" My eyes continued to zoom in and out of focus and at last the clouds above me were discernible. Wait. Clouds.
"WHERE THE FUCK HAS MY CELING GONE?" I SCREAMED.
Quickly glancing left and right, I gathered information about my surroundings. I seemed to be in a grassy clearing. Trees surround the meadow (that I currently occupy, probably along with thousands of tiny insects as well). I looked down. On the ground, I discover is a piece of parchment sealed with wax. Taking a quick look around, I found this to be the only non-natural item in the area. I glanced down at my body. Naked. "Yep, only non-natural thing," I muttered. But it's surprisingly not cold. Might as well open up the letter. I broke the seal and read:
Dear Miss Kagome,
We, the High Council of the Souls are pleased to inform you that your pure wish placed upon the shikon jewel has been granted. The jewel has disappeared since then because of your request, but that prayer was vague. As a result, we have sent for you so that you can decide what sort of demon you wish -
Woh, hold up. Demon?! Did I read that right? I checked this over once more.
Yup. Demon.
to be. You will be given time to decide during your bath and afterwards, you will return to this clearing to announce this and begin your training with a friend. Our cloud shall escort you to the spring and back, supplying you with the necessary accoutrements and materials.
Best Wishes,
High Council
Wha-? Cloud? Which cloud?
"Mr. Cloud?" I really am insane.
A cloud appeared before me.
"I really need a shrink." I boarded the fluffy air mass and said, "Um, Mr. Cloud, can you take me to the hot springs?" I have truly As if some wind was drawn, the cloud was pushed swiftly south (with me aboard) a little east, though the trees –narrowly avoiding some- and pleasantly stopped 3 feet from a bubbling spring. My face was set in pure shock and my hair was wildly tangled (as I had grasped it far too much in fright). I demounted the cloud, and felt solid ground below my feet, with a sigh of relief.
"Oh Kami, I'm gonna puke!" After vomiting, in some bushes, I returned to the spring (disgusted that I couldn't keep the contents of my stomach to myself). There I found –
Buh-bump.
Buh-bump.
Buh-bump.
Shampoo AND Soap! (Insert happy dance here)
"YEY!" After my exclamation I eased myself into the warm water. "I have no clue where I am, I'm naked, but the service is great!" Crickets. Ironic, ne? "He, he, tough crowd." I relaxed into the heat. "I wish Sango was here. We could talk about, life, the shards, boys and ... damn it, is that all there is to talk about?" I sighed and continued to talk to myself (or perhaps even those damn crickets. Who knows? By the way, when I figure out where I am, I will kill Inu Yasha for his language rubbing off on me.)
"But then again if Sango were here, Miroku would peak, and that's not on my agenda. Plus, once Sango and I started screaming, Inu Yasha would come and I don't even want to think about what would happen then." (AN: insert dramatic sigh) I continued to ramble on as I washed and rinsed my hair, and washed my body. "You know, for the amount of times he's seen my breasts or me naked for that matter, we could be a couple." I snorted. "I wish. On to another subject..."
Crickets.
"Where am I? Yoo-hoo?" I called. "Wait a minute, that may not be such a good idea. I'm naked. What am I supposed to do? That letter from the 'Oh-so-grand Council said they would give me my clothes. Gez, are they just supposed to magically appear? What is this, some bad story? (AN: He, he) Oh man, I can time travel, and the dead can be raised. My life is so screwed. And who am I kidding? I'm not getting any clothes." I turned to the cloud (which I supposed was still there and –
GASP!
As if the gods themselves had presented me with a gift (which if the letter was correct, they had), I was in awe.
Buh-bump.
Buh-bump.
My school uniform lay innocently on the ground. What next, a lovely little discussion with a high spirit? Wait. My school uniform was on the ground. ON THE GROUND! "Aughh." And I thought that everything was perfect.
"Ahh! Cold!" I hate getting out of baths. I looked around. There was nothing to dry off with. Smart. "I guess I can do this Inu style. I mean, no one else is here to laugh at me when I shake about. I shook my body around and wrung out my hair. "This is as good as its gonna get." Then looking around I realized everything was wet. EVERYTHING. Including my uniform. "I hope this will dry off once I'm on the cloud."
I boarded Mr. Cloud (Yes, I am naming it, ok?) and soon reached the clearing. "Man, I HATE that stupid cloud," I said as I de-boarded. It 'accidentally tipped me off so I landed face first in the dirt. Nice. "Ok, ok, I'm sorry. I wonder if it's a cumulus, stratus, cirrus, or a nimbus? What are you Mr. Clou-"
"Hello Kagome," a melodious voice said.
I spun around, searching. Left: trees, grass bushes. Right: More trees and grass and bushes and gasp! More bushes!
"Show Yourself!" I sounded a LOT like Inu Yasha. I need to stay away from him. Bad influence.
Someone snorted, and muffled some obvious laughter. "Kagome, look up."
A look of awe crossed my features. "Midokoru."
Dun-dun-dun-duh! Cliffy!
How was it?
