Kagome's mother stomped up the stairs. The sound didn't register with Kagome at first, then suddenly she realized that it was her fuming mother. Kagome quickly ran over to lock the door, but she wasn't quick enough. The door swung open, slamming Kagome against the wall.
Kagome's mother stomped over to Inuyasha and slapped him. "YOU MONSTER! GRABBING MY BABY AND MY GRANDSON LIKE THAT! YOU CRAZY MONSTER"
Inuyasha immediately woke up. He grabbed onto his child as he leapt back. He stood by the window growling and bearing his teeth at her. Kagome moaned and coughed, spitting out a little blood. Inuyasha smelled the scent of his mate's blood and roared.
Inuyasha ran over and grabbed Kagome then jumped out of the window, holding Kagome in one arm and Tuni in the other. He landed with a thump, and then leapt towards the well house, crashing through it, landing perfectly into the opening of the well.
Inuyasha ended up back in the feudal era. He placed Kagome against the rim of the well, and set his baby in her arms. His youkai markings were now showing. Kagome was passed out with a line of blood dripping from her mouth. Inuyasha let out a growl, and then looked down at his unharmed baby.
Tuni could smell his mother's blood as well. He whimpered then crawled up her chest and started licking the blood away from her face trying to heal her (it wasn't doing anything though) like a dog would lick its own wounds.
Kagome groaned then opened her eyes to see her baby whimpering and licking his mother's wounds. She opened her mouth to speak to the youkai Inuyasha, but nothing came out, she was winded and unable to talk. She reached out her arms to him as soon as Tuni jumped away from her. She fell into Inuyasha's arms, making him fall back.
Inuyasha's breathing was heavy. He was angry that someone had hurt his mate. No one would hurt his mate and live after… Kagome could see that look in his eyes.
Inuyasha stood up, letting the winded Kagome slide off of him. She tried to speak again. "I—nu… no" But Inuyasha could not hear her either way. He leaped down the well to kill the one who hurt his mate.
Inuyasha leapt out of the well into present time. He sniffed the air for the scent. So many new and different fragrances filled his nose. Inuyasha sorted them out finding a trace of the perpetrator. Inuyasha gave a content growl as he led the track of this scent. He came to the back window of Kagome's house. He bashed through the window growling. He immediately ran using his demonic speed.
He could smell the scent; it was so strong and very close! The scent's trail led him to the living room. Inuyasha spotted Kagome's mother and leapt towards her roaring with demonic anger. Inuyasha landed on top of her. He could hear her piercing screams. Inuyasha stuck his claw in her voice box, making her a mute. He grinned evilly and then lunged down and bit her arm. The warm blood seeped through his teeth and into his mouth. Inuyasha savored the taste for a moment.
But something was wrong. Something wasn't right with this blood! It tastedlike Kagome's! (remember he is a demon right now and has a very narrow mind, normal reasoning isn't there like it normally would be) Inuyasha growled confused… he couldn't hurt someone with too much of a similar scent as his mate. He roared at her angrily, and then jumped out of the window the way he came, and jumped back into the well.
Kagome's head was tipped over the side of the well. She was still winded, but she was trying to get up. Suddenly she could hear the sound of Inuyasha. Inuyasha leapt out of the well and landed right next to her. His breathing was heavy, and his eyes narrow.
Tuni yelped out a cry similar to a puppy. Inuyasha turned his head to his pup. Inuyasha dropped down to all fours and crawled over to his pup, and grabbed him protectively. Kagome pushed herself over to him and fell forward into his lap. The demonic Inuyasha caught her and looked down at his mate's face. She was scratched up, and he could smell her blood. Tuni wiggled out of his father's arms and got on top of his mother licking her face like a puppy. Kagome was passed out and her body was limp.
Inuyasha pulled Kagome's body closer to his own protectively. He sat back, leaning against the warm wood of the well. Inuyasha's breathing got lighter as he fell asleep.
When he woke up again, he was back to normal, and could only remember bits and pieces of what had happened earlier. He looked down at Kagome who was sleeping in his lap. "Ka—gome…" Tuni whimpered a little and let out a biiiiig puppy yawn, as he woke up.
Inuyasha was stricken with horror. "Kagome? Wake up… please… Kagome…" Inuyasha kept shaking her shoulder. The most she did was groan a little. Inuyasha grinded his teeth worriedly. He then stood up, holding Kagome. Inuyasha scooped Tuni up and carried both of them to Kaede's village.
Inuyasha moved with haste, being careful to keep a good grip on Kagome and the whimpering Tuni. Within several minutes he approached the village. He ran to Kaede's hut.
"Kaede! Something is wrong with Kagome! She won't wake up… and shes injured badly…. She got slammed into a wall…."
Kaede turned around "Calm down half demon… Put her down on the futon…" Inuyasha kneeled down and placed Kagome softly on the straw bed. Kaede sat next to Kagome, and put her hand on Kagome's forehead. "Shes burning up! Inuyasha make yourself of use and get a pail of water."
Inuyasha grumbled and did as she said. He grabbed a small pail in the corner of the room, and ran down to the watering hole. Several villagers were there at the moment and looked at him oddly. Inuyasha just ignored him, and filled the pail up with the crystal clear water. Inuyasha ran back into the hut, and put the pail next to Kaede. He looked over at Kagome.
"KAEDE WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!" Kagome was absolutely naked, and Kaede was dressing her minor wounds. There was a major bruise that covered Kagome's abdomen. Inuyasha pushed Kaede aside, and covered her up with his body, he growled slightly at her.
Kaede yelped as he pushed her. Several villagers ran inside (they didn't like Inuyasha to begin with)
"Priestess… are you alright?"
"Go away! I'm fine…"
The villagers reluctantly went back outside. Kaede looked over at Inuyasha… "Inuyasha! What are ye doing! I was just dressing her wounds! How am I supposed to help her if ye are acting like this!" Inuyasha grunted angrily, and got off of Kagome, leaving her body exposed. Inuyasha couldn't bear to look at her. Tuni walked over to his mother on all fours, Inuyasha pulled him away "No! bad Tuni" Tuni whimpered.
Kaede inspected the large bruise. "Hmmm…. It appears she is bleeding from the inside…." Kaede put her hands together and said a prayer. Inuyasha scratched his son's twitching dog ears. "Can'tYou help her?" His voice was shaky.
Kaede shook her head. "I can not stop the bleeding, but I will give her all the help I can give…. It really depends on her will to live…."
Inuyasha roared and punched his fist into the straw wall… The hut shook a little, and Tuni jumped up scared. Inuyasha pet his ears again to calm him down "So she's just going to die!" Tuni's ears were tilted back, like when a cat is mad. He was just a little upset after seeing his father so angry.
"Inuyasha! Calm ye self down!" Inuyasha growled a little and looked at the floor, deep in thought…. He could bring her to her world, where there was good medical care… But it wouldn't be easy… the hospital was already scared of him… and what if her world found out about demons like him…. No… none of that was as valuable as Kagome's life. Inuyasha stood up… He looked down to Kaede and smirked, trying to hide his true emotions.
"I—have to bring her back to her world… it's the only way… Inuyasha took a cloth, and ripped it in half. He tied it around Tuni's head, suppressing his ears. Tuni imedietly started whining , and pawing at the cloth. Inuyasha put little Tuni on his shoulders. Tuni grabbed his father's ears to stable himself. Inu yelped, but then the pain numbed as he started worrying about Kagome again. He took his red kimono top off, and put it around her body. He slipped her underwear on her, blushing, and carried her out of the hut. Inuyasha then ran as fast as he could to the bone-eaters well. Tuni held on by grabbing his father's ears. Tuni giggled enjoying the ride, oblivious to the serious situation at hand.
Not much time later, Inuyasha arrived at the well holding his unconscious mate. Inuyasha gulped in the crisp air of the feudal era, then leapt back down into the well. Tuni giggled at all of the colorful lights that surrounded them as they passed through the worlds.
On the other side, Inuyasha leapt out of the well and into the Higurashi's back courtyard. Tuni giggled and clapped a little but grabbed back onto Inuyasha ears as he started to fall.
Suddenly men came around every angle towards Inuyasha. There were cars surrounding the house with inaudible shouting through bullhorns. They were policemen, after Kagome's mother was shipped off to the hospital, the police came to investigate her attack to find any clues to who her attacker may be.
Inuyasha stepped back a little, being taken by surprise. "Damn… what the hell am I gonna do….." Inuyasha leapt back onto the roof of the well shack. The policemen raised their guns to him. Inuyasha tightened the fire rat skin kimono top over Kagome, and put Tuni in her arms. Inuyasha didn't care much for his health anymore, but the fire rat fur should protect Kagome and Tuni from the bullets.
After securing them, Inuyasha leapt up into the air and onto the main house. Several policemen fired, but were then restricted for fear that a stray bullet may injure the victim. Inuyasha ran on the rooftop and leapt down onto the street and ran as fast as he could. The policemen fired again, getting a clean shot at his shoulder.
Inuyasha screamed out in pain. There were no such things as guns in the feudal era, so he had not been used to this type of weaponry. His left arm went limp as deep red blood poured out of his shoulder, dying his silvery white undershirt to a deep sinister red.
Inuyasha continued running towards the scent of the hospital. "So much for concealing my identity…" Inuyasha remarked as tuni's little ear holders fell off. Then, Inuyasha came to a large grey building…. The hospital….. as much as Inuyasha hated this place, he had to leave kagome there if she were to live… Inuyasha placed his mate down with care at the front door, and then held onto his son with his one good arm and leapt away...
