A/N: Ok so last chapter I let my favorite character enter the story. Fluffy! Hehe. -huggles his tail- Moving on...Anyways...Last chapter I left you with a cliffy. Although you most likely know who it was that appeared, I want you to read this chapter anyways and stop wasting your time reading my pathetic author's note. I hope you enjoy this chapter also. There are still a few to go. I'm praying that you're not still confused and that the whole mess got cleared up last chapter. I didn't have a blooper reel for the past 2 chapters, but I think I might this chapter hehe. Please review!
Disclaimer: I don't own anyone...blah blah blah. Release me from prison now! -takes hand cuffs off- Geez louise. No one can take a joke around here.
Recently:
"Yes me Lord." And with that, Jaken ran away. Kagome stepped back, to where she was right beside Sango. Sesshoumaru turned the rest of his body towards the gang. Miroku was getting ready to use the windtunnel.
"No need monk. I do not have time for such childish non-sense." Sesshoumaru turned to walk away but a person stepped in front of him. Kagome, Sango, and Miroku all stepped back when they seen who it was.
"I see you saved me the time of finding you." Sesshoumaru said to the person that stepped in his way.
"Oh no. I can't die like this. I have to save Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled. Sesshoumaru looked back at Kagome.
"What do you mean save him?" Sesshoumaru drew his sword.
Chapter 10: In control
"Found you." Inuyasha said in a low possessed voice as he unsheathed the Tetsusaiga. "Wind scar!" The yellow stream of power came towards Sesshoumaru.
'Save him? What does the girl mean? No matter, I will kill him.' Sesshoumaru managed to jump out of the way of the wind scar, which means it is now headed towards Kagome and Sango.
"Kagome move!" Sango jumped out of the way and pulled Kagome by the arm. The wind scar missed by only an inch. "That was close." Sango got off the ground and brushed her suit off. Kagome still sat on the ground in shock. 'Inuyasha...'
"Too slow." Sesshoumaru ran over to Inuyasha and caught him by the arm. "Now the Tetsusaiga is mine." Sesshoumaru burned the flesh off of Inuyasha's arm with his poison claws. 'Damn it. I can't let him have the Tetsusaiga. He'll kill all of us.' Inuyasha smirked.
"Let's see you try to take it." Inuyasha broke from Sesshoumaru's grip and kicked him into a tree. Sesshoumaru stood up like nothing had happened, and looked at Kagome.
"Why did you mean by 'save him'?" Sesshoumaru waited patiently for Kagome to answer him.
"Naraku tried to plot me and Inuyasha against each other. But his plan failed. So Naraku put a jewel shard in Inuyasha's chest. Now Inuyasha is under Naraku's control." Kagome looked at the ground. Sesshoumaru turned his attention by to Inuyasha.
"I see. That explains his power." Sesshoumaru walked slowly towards Inuyasha. 'You may have a shard of the Shikon jewel, but you are still a pathetic half-breed. I will kill you and your friends.' Sesshoumaru stopped a few feet in front of Inuyasha. "Die Inuyasha." Sesshoumaru smacked Inuyasha on the face and leg with his poison whip, then across the chest. Inuyasha fell to his knees and laughed.
"You ain't taking me down that easy." Inuyasha stood up and darted towards Sesshoumaru. "Now you die. Wind scar!" Inuyasha hit the ground with the Tetsusaiga and watched as it dissipated Sesshoumaru's body.Inuyasha put the Tetsusaiga back in the sheath. "Not even a challenge."
Kagome stood up off the ground and looked on in amazement. "Sessho..Sesshoumaru...where did he go?" Kagome looked in the trees but found nothing. 'Either the Tensaiga saved him, or he got away.'
"Now that he's out of my way. I will kill you." Inuyasha stepped forward and extended his claws. Kagome fell to the ground again trying to get away from Inuyasha. 'Just like when we first met...wait...that's it!' Kagome stood up.
"Sit boy!" Kagome put her hands on her hips. "Sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit boy!" Inuyasha fell face down on the ground and created an enormous hole. 'OoOoOoOwWwW.' Sango and Miroku started laughing.
"Great idea Kagome. But I think we need to take this oppurtunity to get out of here." Sango gasped in-between giggles. Kagome nodded and everyone climbed onto Kirara.
...Sesshoumaru...
'I managed to escape before he could hit me, but now he will go after the others. Hmm. Saves more time for me when I go back for him.' Sesshoumaru walked on the riverbank in front of Rin and Jaken. "Lord Sesshoumaru! Wait for me!" Jaken tripped over a rock and Rin stepped on his head so she could catch up with Sesshoumaru.
"What are you thinking Sesshoumaru-sama?" Rin asked looking up at Sesshoumaru, who only looked at Rin from the corner of his eye but didn't answer. Rin looked down at the ground and picked up a rock. 'I'll save this for when Jaken is being mean.' Rin got a playful look on her face. Sesshoumaru noticed quickly.
"That rock isn't hardly big enough. Jaken's head is thick." Sesshoumaru smiled on the inside. Rin giggled.
"You're right. How about this one?" Rin showed Sesshoumaru a rock as big as her head.
"You don't want to kill him Rin." Sesshoumaru said as he picked up a good sized rock. "That should do it." Sesshoumaru took the big rock away form Rin and gave her the little one. Rin smiled at Sesshoumaru. Jaken looked on in curiosity before being squashed by an enormous rock that Sesshoumaru had thrown behind him.
"Oww. Lord Sesshoumaru...wait." Jaken waddled on to catch up with a big red lump on his head.
...Inuyasha...
Inuyasha got up from the hole to discover that Sango, Miroku, and Kagome had gotten away. "They couldn't have gotten far." Inuyasha started to walk in the direction that the gang had went in. 'I have to get control. Damn. That bastard will pay for this. Naraku...how dare you use me as a puppet.' Inuyasha fell to his knees. "Give me back my body..." Inuyasha struggled to get control back over his body. 'The jewel shard...I have to get it out.' Inuyasha pulled his hand up to his chest. 'My hand is so heavy.'
"Now now Inuyasha. We wouldn't want you doing that." Naraku came up behind Inuyasha. "I've been watching you Inuyasha. You destroyed Sesshoumaru, nice work. But you failed to destroy that wench and her friends." Naraku picked Inuyasha up by the throat.
"Are you blind? Sesshoumaru is not dead." Inuyasha whinced from the sharp pain that was in his chest. "Get this damn thing out of me!" Inuyasha stuck his hand through his chest and pulled out the jewel shard. Naralu dropped Inuyasha. 'How can this be? I had full control over him.' Naraku stepped back from Inuyasha.
"You may have taken out the jewel shard but the poisons that infected your body are going to kill you slowly and painfully." Naraku disappeared into thin air, to avoid Inuyasha.
"Kagome...Sango...somebody..." Inuyasha fell to the ground and slowly started to die.
...The gang...
"Huh?" Kagome looked back to the place that they had just left. Sango and Miroku looked at Kagome.
"What is it Kagome?" They both said in unison.
"I can sense a jewel shard. It's really close by." Kagome was still looking back.
"I wonder what it could be." Sango said as she turned Kirara to go in the direction where Kagome sensed the jewel shard. When Kirara landed, Kagome gasped at the sight of Inuaysha face down on the ground bleeding.
"Inuyasha! What happened?" Kagome was by Inuyasha's side in seconds.
"Kagome? Is that you?" Inuyasha turned his head sideways and looked in the direction where he heard Kagome's voice. His vision was blurry so he couldn't make out the person that was kneeling beside him.
"Inuyasha! You're ok. I'm so grateful." Kagome picked up Inuyasha's head and put it on her lap.
"Kagome, I got the jewel shard out of me...but I will soon be dead from the poison." Inuyasha closed his eyes to escape from his pain.
"Sango do you still have those herbs?" Kagome turned and looked at Sango.
"Huh...yeah let me get them." Sango ran to Kagome's backpack and dug them out. "Here you go Kagome."
"Thanks Sango." Kagome made the herb into a fine paste. "Inuyasha this might sting a bit." Kagome didn't get a response out of Inuyasha so it worried her a bit. 'What if this isn't strong enough? The jewel shard kept him alive long enough. The jewel shard? Wait...where is it?' Kagome looked around the place where Inuyasha was laying.
"Kagome what are you looking for?" Miroku asked Kagome once he noticed her moving about.
"The jewel shard that was in Inuyasha." Kagome said. Miroku got up and assissted Kagome.
"Ah! Found it!" Kagome yelled when she looked by a rock. The second Kagome picked up the jewel shard, it became purified. Kagome dipped the jewel shard in the medicine that she had made and placed it on Inuyasha's wound.
"Damn it! Watch where you put that thing!" Inuyasha scram at Kagome after she put it on his wound. Kagome made a straight face. 'Well now I know he's okay.'
"What do you mean? I was only trying to help!" Kagome yelled as she got in Inuyasha's face.
"Well you should warn someone when you put something like that on their wounds!" Inuyasha growled.
"I did! You're just too stupid to listen to me for three seconds!" Kagome barked back.
"Stupid? I'm not stupid!" Inuyasha balled his hand into a fist.
"But you are a jerk!" Kagome turned around and balled up both of her hands. "SIT BOY!" Inuyasha fell flat on his face.
"WOULD YOU STOP DOING THAT!" Inuyasha scram from his hole.
...meanwhile...
Sango and Miroku were sitting on the ground watching Inuyasha and Kagome's battle. "Well at least we know they're back to normal." Sango said with a weary look on her face. Shippou sat on Sango's leg.
"Yeah. We should count our blessings and be happy." Shippou looked away from the battle when Kagome smacked Inuyasha on the head.
"Ouch. That has got to hurt." Miroku winced.
...Back to the battle...
"Go home I don't care! Who needs ya!" Inuyasha said after Kagome threatened to leave.
"Maybe I will. You jerk." Kagome walked off. Inuyasha lowered his fist.
"Don't tell me you're actually leaving..." Inuyasha said as her ran in front of Kagome.
"Why shouldn't I? You don't need me remember?" Kagome looked away from Inuyasha.
"Uh...heh...But Shippou does." Inuyasha said as he rubbed the bump on his head that Kagome had given him earlier. Kagome turned around and headed toward Sango, Miroku, and Shippou.
"Hmph. Let's go." Kagome said as she climbed onto Kirara. Sango and Miroku looked at each other.
"Okay.." Sango said. When Kagome is in a bad mood, they all steered clear of her. Inuyasha darted off in the direction of Kaede's village, and Kirara followed. 'Kagome sure does pack a powerful punch.' Inuyasha thought.
"Kagome, you should be happy that Inuyasha is alright. There's no need to fight." Miroku said as he patted Kagome on the back. Kagome gave him an evil look then sighed.
"Yeah. You're right. But he can be such a jerk sometimes! He makes me so angry!" Kagome had an angry look on her face. "But I am glad he's okay. Besides, if we didn't fight, how could you ever tell if things were okay between us?" Kagome held the jewel shard in her hand before putting it back in her jar that she had around her neck.
...Inuyasha...
"She thinks I'm a jerk. Well why wouldn't she? She only tried to help me and I yelled at her." Inuyasha whispered to himself as he dodged a tree branch. "I think we should head back to Kaede's for the night!" Inuyasha yelled over his shoulder at the gang. Sango nodded.
...later...
The group was sitting outside around a fire, and Inuyasha was checking out his wound. 'It's completely healed already. How can that be?' Inuyasha looked over at Kagome who was sitting by a tree looking at the stars. 'It was her. Kagome's spiritual powers healed me faster.' Inuyasha stood up and walked over to Kagome.
"What?" Kagome said in a soft voice. She knew very well what Inuyasha wanted, but she was putting on an act to make it look like she was still angry at him. Inuyasha sat down beside Kagome.
"Thank you." Inuyasha was staring up at the sky when Kagome looked at him. She was shocked that Inuyasha came to her first. "You saved me and I yelled at you. I'm sorry." Inuyasha kept his gaze up at the sky.
"It's...it's okay. And you're welcome. I'm sorry I si..uh...you know used the magic word." Kagome strained at the thought of saying 'sit'. Inuyasha looked over at her in horror when she almost said 'sit'. But relaxed when she corrected herself.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome looked Inuyasha in the eye.
"Yeah?" Inuyasha said calmly.
"I was thinking. When you told me to go home the other night-" Kagome was cut off by Inuyasha.
"Just forget about it. I shouldn't have told you to go home. But I was really worried about you. It was until you got attacked by Naraku, disguised as me, that I realized I really needed you." Inuyasha had his finger over Kagome's lip to keep her from talking, but Kagome put her hand on his.
"Inuyasha, thank you." Kagome smiled at Inuyasha and scooted closer to him.
"Huh?" Inuyasha was looking at Kagome in confusion before she knocked him over and kissed him. Inuyasha still had his eyes opened and realized how stupid they must look, so he kissed her back. Kagome was leaning over Inuyasha and Inuyasha had his arms around Kagome. It wasn't long before Kagome had fallen asleep. Inuyasha was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, while Kagome had half of her body on top of Inuyasha, her head resting on his chest. Inuyasha had soon fallen asleep. "Kagome I will never let you go I promise." Inuyasha whispered to himself but got a sleepy response form Kagome.
"Good. Because if you do Kouga will get me." Kagome buried her head into Inuyasha's haori. Luckily, Inuyasha hadn't heard her say that.
...the spies...
"Miroku aren't they adorable?" Sango was lying next to Miroku in the grass.
"Uh...sure...why not." Miroku said. "Why do we always find ourselves spying on them Sango?"
"Because. They have waited so long to tell each other how they felt, and it's finally happened." Sango wrapped her arms around Miroku's arm.
"My dear Sango...would you like to sleep like that tonight?" Miroku said looking at Sango with a smile on his face. A sweat drop went down the back of Sango's head.
"What makes you think I want to do that?" Sango said wearily. Miroku grabbed her waist and scooted her closer to his body (they are still lying down).
"Because you are special to me." Miroku said staring at Sango.
"Miroku..." Sango was just starting to hope that Miroku was different now, when she felt his hand move down her backside. Smack "You lecher! Don't you ever change?" Sango stood in an uproar and went back to Kaede's hut.
"Once again. That was well worth it." Miroku said rubbing his cheek. Shippou heard the sound smacking sound and seen Sango storm to Kaede's hut.
"Idiot." Shippou followed Sango to Kaede's hut and went to sleep by her since Kagome was with Inuyasha.
