Chapter 32
Running farther down the path, your sprint slows down to walk as you notice someone leaning on a tree far away from you. 'That could be Inuyasha's imposter... Kurayami...' You think to yourself as you continue to approach warily. 'No... That has to be someone else, what would he be doing sitting around out here...' You continue to walk closer and now getting a better view of the loiterer. 'Wait... That's really Inuyasha!!'
Leaves crunch underneath your feet as you run closer to the dog boy, while becoming more and more panicky as you get closer to him. Kneeling down beside him, you frown as you notice his closed eyes.
"Inuyasha....?" You ask and gasp as you give his body a once over, noticing the stain of blood and gash on his shoulder trailing down his chest. "Inuyasha! Are you ok?!" You ask.
Receiving no response you quickly raise your hands over the gash and direct your ki into your hands and down into the gash. After what felt like a minute of trying to heal the wound you remove your hands only to see that it hasn't sealed up at all. Becoming more and more nervous, you quickly place your head against his chest. A cold tremor runs down your spine as your eyes widen and you freeze.
"Oh my god.... I-Inu-Inuyasha..." You whisper removing your head from his chest. You slowly moving away from him, you stare at his expressionless, pale face.
'Inuyasha... No... No... You can't be! Why?!' You think grasping the dog boy's bigger, cold hand as tears start to build up in your eyes. 'But, if he's...'
"I can still bring him back!" You mutter and take the shikon jewel from around your neck.
Still holding on to the dog boy's hand and tightly onto the jewel you start to pray silently to the jewel. Before you know it you feel the jewel pulsing within your fisted. Slowly opening your hand you stare down at the glowing and pulsating jewel. 'I know you have the power... Please... Bring him back!' The Shikon jewel's light suddenly floods the area and you narrow your eyes as you feel the power of the jewel vibrating through you and around you.
As seconds pass by like minutes, the light fades away and you open your eyes. Your eyes land on the dog boy before you.
"...Inuyasha?" Receiving no response, you place your head against his chest once again. You receive no beat, thump or slow pound in respond and the tears that pooled in your eyes start to pour down. "It didn't work... It didn't work!" You mutter as you bury your head into the dog boy's cold neck. Sobbing you pull back and glare down at the shikon jewel in your hand. "Why didn't it work?!" You suddenly feel the shikon jewel release energy opposite of yours, which travels onto you. Just as the energy touches your skin, it feels like a thousand needles sticking into your every limb at once. You release a cry of pain falling backwards as a wave of dizziness washes over you.
"Damn... Damn it..." You murmur wincing and feeling your body numbing. You force yourself to bend upwards your eyes set upon the glowing and twitching shikon jewel, which was thrown away and then upon the lifeless dog boy. "...S-sorry... I couldn't-" You wince as the dizziness washes hits you in the face again. The world around you blurs as you feel yourself crashing down again.
The light around you slowly fades away and soon enough you're left wandering in the dark once again.
Something cool slides down the side of your cheek, which drags you into consciousness. 'What-what the hell happened?' You think as you tiredly open your eyes, to find your being shaded under a tree. Suddenly a tall, purple wearing person appears in your line of vision.
"Miroku? What are you doing here?" You ask squinting up at the monk.
"Well, since you and Inuyasha didn't come back to the village we came looking for you, but we saw the castle and started wandering around until we found you here." The monk replies retrieving the wet cloth from your forehead.
"Oh..." You reply quietly. "But... Where's Inuyasha?!" You ask frantically and jumping to your feet, starting to wobble.
"Please, do calm down (your name)-sama, you're still recovering! And Inuyasha wasn't here when we got here-"
"So, you don't know where he is? And where's Sango and Shippou?" You ask noticing the two's absence.
"Inuyasha is fighting against a demon I believe you should have met before and Sango and Shippou are there with him." He replies.
"Oh? What did this guy look like?"
"It looked like a fox demon like Shippou, but had golden fur..."
"Golden fur...?" You mutter bemusedly and you glance out the side of your eye to see a large ball of silver barreling toward you.
You quickly turn in its direction to then see that it's a large fox-looking demon. You quickly draw your sword the demon only to be stopped when the fox tackles you to the ground and starts to lick you.
"...Miroku, um, do you know who this fox is?" You ask trying to get from under the fox.
"Isn't it your pet, Tetsu? (your name)-sama?" He answers as your eyes broaden as you take a closer look at the large fox demon.
"It is Tetsu! He's gotten huge!" You say as you finally get from under the creature and stand. "Welcome back to the group, Tetsu!" You give the fox a small hug and it mewls back in reply.
"We should get going I'm sure everyone could use our help."
"Alright, we should get a ride on Tetsu, to make time!" You reply eagerly hoping on the enlarged fox and Miroku slides on after you.
"Say, (your name)-sama, where did you get all of does wounds from sans damage from the castle?" Miroku asks as he settles down behind you.
"Hm, it's kinda a long story..." You reply as Tetsu lifts off the ground. "And don't get too comfy back there, hands not below or above the belt!" You snap to the priest.
"(your name)-sama, it hurts that you still think such of me." Miroku whines.
"Uhuh, just remember that alright?"
You hold on tightly to the fox as he soars over the trees. Just as you get above the trees you see one obviously large golden furred demon prowling around in the distance.
"Holy crap! What the hell is that?!" You ask pointing to the large demon.
"That is the fox demon Inuyasha is fighting." Miroku answers calmly.
"Eh?! He's fighting that?!" You cry looking down worriedly when you spot Inuyasha lunging at the beast.
"Ever since we got here..." Miroku replies.
"Damn..." You mutter gaping at the huge flaxen fox.
You three continue to get closer and closer fight while steering clear of getting in between. Just as you get around them, you see a village not far from where you are now.
"Hey, Miroku, did you know-" You get cut off as Tetsu takes a hard dive and plummets into the trees below.
Tree limbs scratch and tear your clothes as you hold on tightly to the fox and Miroku's hold gets tighter on you. You lower your head into the fox's mane for protection and just as soon as the offending tree limbs fade away you feel yourself stop in midair. You open your eyes to see your feet dangling below you and an arm holding you around the waist. You glance up to see Miroku holding himself up by his staff looped over a tree branch. You quickly grab on to a lower tree branch and so on until you're at the base of the tree followed by Miroku. You then spot Tetsu and quickly kneel beside him.
"Tetsu! Are you ok?" You ask worriedly to the fallen fox and you stroke his mane. You glance upwards to Miroku. "Is he going to be ok?"
"It didn't look like it was that harsh, with some rest he'll be fine." Miroku replies kneeling down.
"That's good, but what happened?"
"Well, what could have happened was Tetsu could have been hit by an attack by that fox demon." The monk replies and stands. As you take your hand away from the fox he suddenly shrinks back into his original pint-sized form.
"Poor Tetsu..." You mutter and pick the small fox up.
"(your name)-sama, c'mon! We can't keep on standing here!" Miroku says and starts to drag you away.
"Why? We're far from the fight!" You reply and start to run at his pace.
"We were, but, they're coming over here!" He finishes and puts his arm around your waist and pulls you up with him while you tightly hold on to Tetsu. As you all two continue to run you glance backwards to see the giant flaxen fox demon barreling toward you three.
"Oh my god!" You cry gaping in horror at the fox demon.
"Now that you know run faster!" He replies and you both are just in time to get out of the way.
You both get blown away and you hold on tightly to the sleeping Tetsu tightly in your arms. As you stand up your attention then goes to the fight between Inuyasha and the fox demon, which you can now see from between fallen trees. Inuyasha with the tessaiga in hand charges his opponent, the flaxen fox, who on the other hand is nursing a wound. Just as the fox demon makes a move to retreat the dog boy attacks it with the kaze no kizu. The dog boy jumps off the fox and the fox collapses and thick blood start to ooze out from the bite.
The fox struggles to stand and soon fails falling lame to the ground. As seconds pass away and the fox demon remains limp a small smile spreads across your face.
"Hell yeah! We won!!" You applaud and do a small victory cheer.
"We haven't won yet, (your name)-sama the fox demon is getting back up." Miroku says pointing out the fox demon's rise.
"Damn..."
"I'm sure Inuyasha has this under control, lets go and find Sango and Shippou."
"You can, Miroku, I'm going stay and wait a while if Inuyasha could use some help..." You reply to the monk.
"Alright, (your name)-sama, just don't do anything rash ad be careful, Inuyasha, I'm sure Inuyasha can take care of himself, alright?" Miroku replies backing away.
"When have I done anything rash?" You ask the monk frowning. "But, you be careful, too, alright?" You ask and you and the monk nod to each other.
You then cautiously jog toward the fight leaving the monk on his own. As you jog you hear a few voices off in the distance, but feel no weak ki, so you disregard it. Continuing on with your quest you pause and almost get thrown to the ground as the grounds does a hard quake, not much like the tremor of castle because it quickly subsides. You quickly start to jog again and pick up the pace when you notice the cries and growls of the fox demon have disappeared. 'Inuyasha must have defeated it now!' As seconds pass by your jog turns into a sprint as you feel yourself getting closer and closer. Your eyes widen when you see Inuyasha crouching beside a bunch of fallen trees.
"Inuyasha!" You fall into a crouch beside him. "Are you o-" Your breathe catches in your throat as in that moment he turns to you and looks at you with solid, blood-red heated eyes.
