Inu-Yasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi, THANK GOD!
Episode 7:
Inutaisho is back to life!... barely, but you got the point.
Inutaisho lay unconscious and in pain. His injuries from his last fight against Ryuukossei, the one who took his life, were still there: wounds covered his arms and chest, blood soaked the rags he was wearing, he still was worn out and that was as evident as the sun. Yes, you can say that he was alive, but in a horrible condition: Tenseiga restored his life, but not his health…
9 faces stared down at the fainted dog. 9 worried, stunned and troubled faces. In short, those 9 faces didn't know what to do and think about… him.
"Er… that katana can revive people?" Asked Kagome.
"Are You Deaf? I think I said that already."
"Tsk, Sesshomaru-san! Don't be rude!"
"I wonder if these wounds are from his battle with the dragon…" Mused Sango out loud. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes.
"When you fight a dragon, you're bound to be beaten, huntress."
"Sesshomaru!"
"That's Obvious!… So… Oyaji is alive." Stated Inu-Yasha not too much convinced (and a little bit scared). He scratched the back of his neck: the situation was really uncomfortable for him.
Not just only for him, but for the rest as well. The dog that was lying unconscious at their feet was supposed to be dead. Now he was alive, because of an 'accident', and none of them knew how to react… be honest with yourself: would you know how to react?
Only two things were clear, one of them was that NONE was helping him (The fact that says 'Snap it! He's wounded' hadn't hit them yet), and the other was…
"Grandpa seems sick." I think that sweet chibi-Rin stated the second reason quite well.
"Yeah, His Cheeks Are Green and He's Breathing Funny!" And this addition from sweet Shippo-chan only reinforced the effect. 7 heads nodded in agreement but stayed still.
After a few moments of staring, the whole group sighed, but one of the sighs, was an annoyed sigh.
"I cannot believe this! Sesshomaru-san? Is this is your lord father, WHY aren't you helping him :grunts: Where Is He?" Mikami sounded angry. "He's wounded! Why none of you is helping him?" Mikami reacted and she didn't sound happy. The baby in her arms clutched her kimono and stared at everyone with his huge deep blue eyes as if emphasizing his mother's words. Mikami knelt, Aoshi and all, and reached for Inutaisho. "Where is he?"
"He's in front of you, Can't you see him, wench?"
BONK
":veins pop: Take care of your tongue, whelp! She's…"
":places Aoshi in his dad's arms: Leave that for later and hold Aoshi for a minute, please!"
"HEY! Mikami-san, I'm NOT good At This And…"
"You Coward! It's just a baby-pup! He's not going to bite you."
"Imagine That!" Mocked Inu-Yasha.
"Grrr!"
Ignoring his husband's growls, and using his robes as guides, Mikami knelt besides Inutaisho; Sango and Kagome followed her example in secret shame. Miroku, Inu-Yasha and Sesshomaru remained still, glaring at each other in wary. Shippo, Rin and even baby Aoshi, just stared at the so-called 'grown ups' in curiosity.
Things were going to get funny.
"Shippo-chan, please, get my First-Aid kit! It's in my pack."
"In A Minute!"
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
I can't believe, I Can't Believe This Bunch of People! How could they? Stare at him as if nothing? Stare at this poor wounded dog? Wounded like this? Twitching in pain?… Poor Papa-Inu! The poor one was beaten to a pulp and he was just resurrected!… Well, I don't know his story, but I heard the 'dragon' part :looks for face: What were they thinking?… His chest (bloody), his neck (Yeow!)… his face: fantastic, let me feel his face…
"Kagome-Chan! Here! I Got It!"
"Thanks Shippo!"
"Like father like son! This guy is a mess!" Says one of the girls, I think is the one who was fighting against that SLUT that took my baby-pup away … I think I like this girl. What was her name again?
"Tell me about it! You aren't the one who is actually feeling this!" I say… Geez, I feel my hands bloody.
"Here, have this!" This girl, Kagome I think, places a piece of cloth in my hands… weird material, never felt it before… feels funny.
"Thanks, but I don't need it yet… maybe if you…"
"I was thinking about dressing his wounds a little…"
"… or at least to stop the bleeding." I suggest.
"Good idea! Sango and I'll manage that."
I return my attention to this poor dog. This Mikami touches Papa-Inu's face. He feels sick and exhausted, I bet my hands for that! He's sweating, his breathing is labored, he's feverish… his face is bruise all over, the poor dog! Whatever it killed him did a great job. He… must look a bit like Sesshomaru, his bone structure is similar to his, but… he's different… his face is full of mischief… DAMN IT! His Hair Is A Bird Nest! This isn't like Sesshomaru's, Ok! This Hair is White and Silky, But IT'S A MESS! This Guy Needs To Be Grooming Right NOW!… :blinks: What…? My Hands Are Trapped In His Hair! KYAAAAAAA!
":giggles: Here! Let Me Help You! Here… Damn! We Need A Scissor!"
… A what?
"Er… we need to cut his hair a little."
Aah. To cut his hair… What in the world is a scissor? 'Scissor'… that's a strange word. 'Scissor'… hmm… rolls of my tongue. Scissor…
"That's better Kagome!"
"No. None of you are going to cut my father's hair!" That's Sesshomaru-san.
"Absolutely, I refuse TOO!" That's… the impatient hanyou… Is he my husband's otouto?
"Why Not?"
"Because We Said SO!" Those were my husband and… his otouto? "GRRRRR!" Hmpf. They are growling at each other :sweat drop:
"Hmpf… argh… :pant, pant:"
:surprised: MY GOODNESS! What Was That? I jumped about a mile, what happened:hand on shoulder: Who is this? Rin-chan?… Papa-Inu, That was You! I touch his forehead… he's high on fever!
"Father needs help." Says Sesshomaru-san.
"BINGO!" Another strange word from this weird girl. "Of Course he needs help! Can't you see it?… He looks like a goner."
"I'll to take him to the castle. Ah-Un Can help ride him home…"
"Are You Crazy?"
"Sesshomaru, your father isn't in conditions to travel! Look at him, he looks like-like… :bows at girls: excuse me, fair ladies, HE looks Like Shit!" Emphasize the Houshi.
"What do you suggest Monk? Try To Heal him HERE? Inside This warp?"
"And what do you suggest, Aniki? Try To Heal Him At The Castle? Where you can easily kill him again? No Way!"
"I, Sesshomaru won't kill him, He's my Father and this Sesshomaru is a man of honor!"
crickets chirping
"As is familial bonds had stopped you before!" Snorts Inu-Yasha-san. :sighs: Sesshomaru-san told me once that he and his otouto never… get along that well.
"Grrrr!
"GRRRRR!
"Gentlemen, relax! Leave That For Naraku! I think that out better option is take your lord father to Lady Kaede. She'll know what to do! She's an expert healer."
"Have You GONE MAD, Monk! NO Way I'm leaving My Father with a Bunch of Weaklings!"
"Are You Suggesting that we CAN'T nurse him back to health, Sesshomaru?"
"Gentlemen! You're upsetting the Children!"
They're at it again. If Aoshi starts to cry, there'll be a HELL to pay:rub temples: My Mother, My Father and Cousins! I still cannot believe SUCH behavior! They're acting like PUPPIES :feels Inutaisho's forehead: He needs help, that's all what matters!
"Mikami-neechan? Is grandpa ok?" Ah, so many questions!
"Don't worry, sweetie:caress Rin's hair: He'll be JUST fine as long as those two SHUT UP!" Says the girl Sango. I must take my chance to ask something.
"Excuse me, who is this Kaede?"
"She's like our mentor, a good miko, she'll help us: She's the one who always ends patching us up!" Explains Kagome (That was her name, right?)
"That's good enough for me, Sesshomaru-san…"
"BUAAAAAAAAAAWAAAAAAAAWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"Look What have DONE, You MONGREL!"
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A…"
"OSUWARI!"
THUD
"ouch"
I quickly stand up and gather my baby-pup in my arms (and of course, I elbow Sesshomaru in his ribs… Damn armor!). As soon as I pick Aoshi, he calms down and clutches to my kimono tightly. My poor baby-pup: he had enough to deal with for one day! He is tired. I'm tired. Rin is tired. By the way…
"Sesshomaru-san, aren't you forgetting something?" I say, in a grumpy mood.
":blinks:"
"Sesshomaru-san?"
"Oh. That… :sighs: Feh. Inu-Yasha: she's Mikami, my wife, you know Rin already and this is my son, Aoshi." He says not to happy and I smile. "The whelp with the big mouth is my brother and I don't care about the names of the rest. Now, if you excuses us, we're leaving, with my father, Ah-Un…"
"No."
"What?"
"We're taking your father to Kaede-baba's place, and that's final… :faces Mikami: HI! My name is Kagome, This is Sango and the Houshi is Miroku. Nice to meet you: we have heard a lot about you!"
":blinks: Really?"
"You aren't taking my father to…"
"And you aren't taking oyaji to the castle!"
"Oh Yeah? Try and Stop Me!… :feels tug: Huh? Rin…?"
"Sesshomaru-sama… :yawns: I'm sleepy!"
":yawns: Me too. Can we stay at this Kaede's place, only for tonight? We can always take your father to the manor tomorrow." I say. Honestly, I don't think that papa-Inu will be able to travel to the manor, and this people sounds nice.
"BUT!" That's my husband's voice.
"This Mikami feels tired :somewhat angry:. Use that head of yours and look at your father and tell me IF he can't travel or not! Maybe I'm blind, but I can tell that for sure!"
"… Feh. :crosses arms: I think we could use this Kaede's help :mumble, mumble:. FEH!"
"You're Blind?" Asks my brother-in-law astonish. "NO WAY!"
"All is Set, then." Says the Houshi. "Sango-sama, my dear, Can you help me to carry this lord?"
":mumbles: Of course I'll help you: But I'm NOT your dear."
"BUT!" That's Inu-Yasha's voice.
"Maybe we can use Kirara to carry Inu-Yasha's dad…"
"BUT!"
"Be Careful! He's bad wounded…"
"Feh!… :shakes head: ARGH! Drop Him… I'll carry him. FEH!"
"You'll hurt him more. GRRRR!... let me help you." That's my doggie husband! "Just let's get out of this warp! Rin! Help Mikami-san to walk."
"HAI!"
The merry little band left the warp with some difficulty and soon they headed back to Kaede's, the unofficial Inu-Yasha-gumi HQ, with a worried Miroku on the lead. Sesshomaru and Inu-Yasha, who were carrying their father, followed him close, growling and glaring at each other just in case. The girls, escorted by Ah-Un and Kirara, were walking in the back, ogling at certain baby.
Inutaisho opened his eyes a little, but saw nothing but a brown blur, heard nothing but a lot of distortion and the only sound he could made was a pathetic excuse for a moan. He was in pain and confused as hell. He shut his eyes again and let himself drift into slumber… he didn't knew why he was so exhausted.
This scene that I just describe was being watched by one saimyoushou.
Naraku wasn't happy at his daughter's recent failure.

PS: You'll never believe how hard to write this chapter was!… Ouw. I made a rhyme!… with my grammar, it's probably wrong :T.T:. I hope you kept the gasoline I gave you at the beginning. You can start to flame me now!
