A/N: I don't like Kikyou. I'm a fan of Inuyasha & Kagome, and Sesshoumaru &Rin. And of course, Miroku & Sango, as if that weren't already obvious. So anyways, sorry if you don't like. I like it so I wrote it this way. Go me!

What If?
You
can push me out the window
I'll
just get back up
You
can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck
And
I won't give a fuck
You
can hang me like a slave
I'll
go underground
You
can run over me with your 18 wheeler but
You
can't keep me down, down, down, down

18 Wheeler
Chapter Six
"What's wrong with Kagome?" Kaede asked as soon as Sesshomaru walked through the door. "Kikyou says you're here to take me to her for help. What happened?"
"Sesshomaru and I were fighting," Inuyasha answered. "He transformed, I transformed. Kagome came upon us. I tried to protect her when Sesshomaru hit me, and even though I took the most of the hit, we were thrown into a tree. She hit first, followed by me. My father found her shortly after that."
"Poor child!" Kaede said, scrambling to her feet. "She must be sore indeed. I will come straight away."
"One question," Inuyasha continued. "What is this and how do I make it go away? It's annoying."
"That's two questions," Kaede said with a slight smile. "But it looks like a subdoing spell. What was going on when you got it?"
"Kagome woke, crying out in pain," Inuyasha explained. "We tried to calm her down, but us trying to make her lay down distressed her more. She muttered something, then this appeared. And when she said 'sit', it caused me to facefall into the ground. Can you make it stop or get it off?"
Kaede chukled softly. Inuyasha growled lightly. "Sorry Inuyasha, but the only one who can take off a subdoing spell is the caster. And just for future reference, Kagome doesn't like to be bothered in her sleep or when she's hurt. She makes a horrible patient. But enough, we need to get to Kagome." Kaede ran around the hut, gathering several things together before telling Sesshomaru to lead the way.

"Move Miroku," Kaede instructed as she pushed past him to kneel at Kagome's side to treat her. "All of you in here is giving me a headache, so I can only imagine how Kagome feels. I don't need anything, and I'm sure you'll stay close Taro in case I do so go on and leave. Miroku, tend to your family. All of you, shoo." Everyone sat still for a moment and then did as told.
Hennyo, Inuyasha, and Sesshomaru walked around the village a bit. "Would you like to know why you transformed back without Tetsuaiga, Inuyasha? Why you returned to normal as well, Sesshomaru?"
"Yes," Inuyasha said curtly. Sesshomaru simply nodded.
"Kagome means something to you," Hennyo said easily. "To Sesshomaru, she is family. As the first, or rather second, person he met he latched onto her. He was raised by her and taught by her. She took him into her home despite all that she knew of his being a demon. Inuyasha... You care for her differently don't you? It hasn't taken you long but I can already see that you long for this girl."
Inuyasha scoffed, but Sesshomaru added his two cents. "It is true Inuyasha. I have seen the way you act around her. You're not emotionless, you ask if there are ways you can help, you go out of your way to do things for her. You don't do that for anyone else. Ask Jaken. He sees it too."
"When a half-breed transforms into his demon form, his true demon form, it takes something more powerful than the most powerful magic of all to break it: love. It is so rare that a half-breed will transform into full demon, for several reasons. The demon form of a half-breed is more powerful than a normal demon of the same kind, clan, or even bloodline. Another reason is half-breeds have very good control over themselves usually, as they must at those times when they become full human.
"A demon turning into full demon rage is also rare in the fact that demons have learned self control since they had to mix with the humans. However, it is still much more common than a half-breed doing so. Inuyasha's love for Kagome as a female scared him out of his demon rage when she fainted. Sesshomaru's love for Kagome as a mother did the same," Hennyou explained carefully. "It's really quite simple."
"Is it so simple that Kagome knows?" Inuyasha asked.
"Doubtful," his father answered. "She was so out of it when I found her. And I don't know how much time had passed since she'd hit the tree. After she wakes up and stays up for a while, she might think about it enough to figure it out. Doubtful, but possible. I know nothing of the girl except what Jaken has told me in reports and you two." They walked in an uncomfortable silence for a while.

Hennyo went home the next morning to let his wife know Inuyasha was fine. He did not mention a word about Sesshomaru though. He was already getting yelled at for letting harm come to her son when she'd told him before Inuyasha left that her son had better be okay. He knew she had reason to worry, what with the way he ran off like he did. He stuck around for a few days and then decided he wanted to check up on Inuyasha again. He left AhUn with his mate and used his speed to get to the village. When he got there, a few worried glances and scared looks were all he got until he saw Sango.
"Lord Hennyo!" she called out, waving an arm over her head. She had a child wrapped up in a blanket and strapped to her back. "Lord Hennyo, we were wondering when you'd be back. Kagome woke up and stayed up last night. She has been asking for you since that seemed to be the last thing she remembered before passing out. Come, I will take you to her." She turned and walked to Kagome's hut, announcing herself as she opened the flap that covered the door.
"Hennyo!" Kagome cheered from her palate on the floor. "I'd get up to greet you, but I have two very stubborn demons who refuse to allow me more then three steps from my palate. I believe you know them?" She motioned to each of the silver haired and golden eyed demons on either side of her. "They are, after all, your sons. Do you think you could tell them that I am perfectly okay by myself?"
"Let's see," Hennyo said, crouching down to face her with a smile on his face. "What do you remember?"
"Everything. There's no need to fetch me a new name. I'm not the newest Taro, okay? Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru were fighting when Inuyasha went full demon. Sesshoumaru changed into his demon form and they fought. When Sesshoumaru made to attack me, Inuyasha moved me out of the way. When he was checking on me, Sesshoumaru kicked him, throwing both me and Inuyasha into a tree. Because I'm such a fragile human," she said, rolling her eyes, "I got hurt worse than Inuyasha, who simply got mad and went all demony again. You showed up, caught me when I fainted, and then went with Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha to get Kaede. Who fixed me up and now I'm fine. So, can I get up and do something? By. My. Self."
"I wouldn't suggest trying to purify anything or run after Shippou, but I think you can get up an move some," Hennyo said with a small smile. "Just don't tick Kaede off. And don't get hurt. With the murderous glares I'm getting from my sons, I would be dead in less than a second. Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru: calm down. She may be a human, but she is a Priestess who apparently travels across time?"
Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru blankly for a second before turning back to Hennyo with a small, warm smile. "No offense meant, but it took Sesshoumaru forever and a day to understand it. I don't think you or Inuyasha will fare much better in this department. Just... keep with the idea that I'm not from around here, and that when I do go 'home' that I will stay for a few days at least. And my 'home' there is just as much as my 'home' here. I love both places equally."
"You should come by the palace," Inuyasha muttered. "You'd never leave once you saw my lands."
"Mine still," Hennyo said with a smile. "And Sesshoumaru's to come." Inuyasha blinked, remembering he was no longer the sole heir. Sesshoumaru wanted to growl. When would these two understand that he wasn't going back?

A/N: Is it just me, or was this chapter shorter? looks again No I really do think it was shorter. But then again, I've been told by lots of people to stop thinking before I permanantly damage something. sighs Oh well. Thanks to The World is a Stage for my review.
