Forgotten Descendant

Chapter 6: Tragedy and Fluff

By Jordan Hartley

I don't own Inuyasha

Ryuumaru faintly recognized when they got back to the temple, and he felt Inuyasha put him down on a bed, but then he just lay there and cried.

Inuyasha and Kagome were talking when suddenly they heard a scream; Shippou raced in and said, "Ryuumaru's thrashing in his sleep!"

Inuyasha said, "Why are you so worried?"

"He's tearing everything up!" replied Shippou.

Both Kagome and Inuyasha followed Shippou into the room, where Ryuumaru thrashed in his bed, tearing at the bed and sheets with his claws. Shippou stood back as Kagome tried to get to Ryuumaru; she got up to the bed, but jumped back as she was almost whacked with a flying tail. She stood back and said, "Inuyasha help me."

Inuyasha stepped forward and made a grab for Ryuumaru's hands. He caught them and Kagome stepped forward and said, "It's okay, you're safe."

Ryuumaru's eyes were watering as he said, "They hurt her, for protecting me, and then they, and they killed her!" He collapsed onto the bed, as much as he could with Inuyasha holding onto his hands. Kagome came up and removed Inuyasha's hands and grabbed Ryuumaru.

This time, Ryuumaru calmed, he curled up in her arms and sniffled. Kagome patted his head as she sat on the bed, "Inuyasha, can you watch him while I make some tea?" When he nodded she set down Ryuumaru and walked out of the room, with Shippou on her heels.

After she left Inuyasha turned to Ryuumaru and said, "So, what happened?" Ryuumaru looked up at him, confused and Inuyasha said, "With your sister, yesterday you were talking about her and today you were tearing up the room, so what happened?"

Ryuumaru said, "She made me safe." It was now Inuyasha's turn to look confused and Ryuumaru continued, "When anyone picked on me when I was little, she protected me, even though I wasn't her real brother she said it didn't matter, that I was her brother. Although my parents didn't think so, they hated me, because they didn't know I was a half-demon." Inuyasha nodded and remembered his mother; she had protected him, while his brother had been the one who hated him.

Ryuumaru said, "After I turned 8, the people who picked on me thought that I should be killed, but my sister… she, she protected me and they killed her by accident."

Ryuumaru was now teary-eyed, and Inuyasha said, "Well, maybe I was too rough on you." Ryuumaru looked at him and he said, "I was raised just like you were, except it was my mother that protected me and made me feel safe." Ryuumaru looked at him as Inuyasha's eyes took on a far off look.

Inuyasha was startled out of his trip down memory lane, by a small half-demon climbing into his lap. Inuyasha said, "Hey, what are you…" He looked down at Ryuumaru and he quieted, Inuyasha didn't know why, but he seemed to be more open with the fellow half-demon. He yawned loudly and suddenly felt very sleepy. He looked down at Ryuumaru and saw that he had fallen back asleep, in his lap. Inuyasha yawned again and before he knew it he was asleep.

Kagome walked in a few minutes later and almost bugged out, here was Inuyasha, the one who usually acted so mean and cold, asleep with Ryuumaru curled up in his lap. Shippou said, "What happened?" Kagome didn't say anything; she just took the cups of tea she had brought back into the kitchen.
