Chapter 3-Starting Over
Inuyasha had made his choice and slowly walked back into the village. The first thing he did was go to Kaede and tell her what he wanted to do. " Kaede…I'll do it."
"mmm…I should tell you that between your death and your reincarnation there is a fairly large gap of time. Live at least twenty years hopefully more and you should be fine." Kaede then cast the spell on him insuring he'd remember the past lives and what he was doing.
After this was over Sango burst into the hut in her full demon exterminator garb. "Inuyasha! There's been an attack in the western fields. COME ON!" She dragged Inuyasha out of the hut and as Sango jumped on Kirara, Inuyasha started to run towards the source of the rumbling of the earth…and it wasn't an earthquake of any sort.
As he broke through the last barrier of trees he could see that this was not an enemy to be fooled with. He hadn't seen this sort of hostile force since Naraku, and even he seemed to be an easy target compared with this brute. It was a dragon, but not just any dragon, it seemed to be thriving on fire and was seething of it so much that you could see the heat given off from it.
"Goddamn…I've never seen such a huge beast." Inuyasha stared at it "Well, I suppose it's asking for a eating. Aren't ya, ya fat ass monster!" With that he charged into battle with tetsuiaga (I can't spell) and put everything he had into every attack. Nothing worked, not even the famous Kaze no Kizu did a thing but scratch lightly. "Shit"
There was nothing anyone could do but try to fight and withstand the awesome power of this thing that had invaded the town. "Inuyasha, you're gonna get yourself killed. What do you think Kagome would think about that?"
"I think that she would flip a shit!" He yelled at Sango and Miroku as he again dove into battle. Quite literally too.
"Do you think he does this on purpose?" Sango asked Miroku as both looked on at Inuyasha's all but pathetic attempt to actually do some damage.
"Yes, I do think he does this on purpose. But then again being around him wouldn't be fun if he didn't. Ne?" Miroku asked and then joined in trying to salvage some dignity.
"That is very true…"
Kagome sat on her bed. She had to think this over, why wasn't she allowed back through the well? 'It's probably because the jewel is finished.' She thought in despair. She sighed heavily. "Guess I won't ever see him again. Right Buyo?" She said aloud to herself only asking the cat when he sauntered into her room. "You're such a fat cat…oh well. I guess I'll just have to start going back to school then. Get my mind off of depressing thoughts."
DING DONG!
Kagome didn't hear feet running past her door and down the stairs or anyone moving from downstairs.
DING DONG!
"AUGH! Fine, I'll get it." She quickly got up and went down the stairs. She opened the door and was going to ask what the fuck these people wanted at 10am but she held her tongue when she saw it was just Hojo. "Oh, hi Hojo" Cough sputter cough.
"Oh, you're sick Kagome-san?" He asked, as he looked her over. 'Did he just check me out?' Kagome's eyes narrowed.
"Erm, yes. I still sort of am. I'm coming back to school tomorrow though, so I'll see you there." Kagome just wanted him gone.
"What do you mean 'still' sick? You were perfectly fine yesterday." Hojo looked at her skeptically.
"Uh, nevermind then. I've lost my mind with this head cold, and erm, what…what day and month is it?" She felt really stupid asking but it had to be done.
"It's May 20th. Your birthday was yesterday and I forgot to give you your gift, remember? I told you I was coming over and you said that it was fine, your family was in the states at a funeral and it was no problem." Hojo just told her everything she had wanted to hear and part of that frightened her since it sounded like she was coming on to him, and the fact that it seemed time had gone backwards.
"Well thanks very much" She took the gift out of his hands, "and thanks for stopping by." At that she slammed the door in his face. 'This is ridiculous' she thought as she turned on the TV.
"At least it's gone now." Sango offered as she wrapped more bandage around her arm that was bleeding pretty profusely.
"Yes, but it left more than half the village dead. I'm just wondering how we survived…speaking of that, where is Inuyasha?" Miroku looked around in alarm. Sango went wide-eyed as they both got up and started to look for him. After about half an hour they found him although they wished for the rest of their days that they had just let it be.
"Inu…yasha?" Sango saw dog-ears from underneath a rather bulky man and immediately got the dead man off of Inuyasha. What they saw was a rather bloodied, burned, and smashed up Inuyasha. Arms and legs were pointing in wrong directions and the burns on his skin bubbled and popped. Nothing was healing itself.
"I don't think he's alive. Sango…help me." Miroku righted Inuyasha's arms as Sango righted the legs. They each got a limb and carried the broken form of the person they called Inuyasha. I call it this because it wasn't Inuyasha, just his outer appearance.
A/N: please don't kill me…
