Inuyasha
The Truth
Chapter IV
Baku hissed at Meka. "Get away from me!" He said, ears flattening. Meka growled in return. "I wasn't NEAR you!" Inuyasha and Kagome appeared and stared at their opposite personalitys in pure buffudlement. "What's going on?" Inuyasha asked. "I hate her! Did you two...?" Inuyasha and Kagome flushed, and Kagome touched the wound. "Ah, you did, didn't you Inu?" Baku said with a knowing smirk. "You confessed your love to Kagome, and since the emotion of love is so strong, it affected me in the opposite way, thereby makeing me hate Meka's guts." Meka blinked at Baku's words. "You never said you hated my guts..." Baku rolled his eyes. "Well I wouldn't know what they tasted like, but keep it up and I will!" He snapped at Meka, eyes glowing red. "Sit boy!" Meka and Kagome choroused. "Wha-?" SLAM! SLAM! "Oops, sorry Inuyasha." Kagome said gently, looking down at the twitching, red-cloaked form, then at the pink-cloaked one. Inuyasha looked up at her, dirt all over his face. "I need a vacation..." He mumbled. He stood, then growled down at Baku. "What would happen if I killed you?" He growled. "You would die." Baku responded with a growl. "Damn you." "Right back at ya." "Fuck you. Don't copy me." Inuyasha said, stepping on Baku's head and squishing his face into the mud. "Egnfh!"
The tension between Baku and Inuyasha was so thick you could cut it with a knife on the trip to see Ukaran, which Kit said would be over by the next sundown. Then it was straight to The Truth to defeat them and return to normal. Rakiki and Kirara were in fighting form and now leaded and trailed the party, with Baku in the front on Rakiki, and Inuyasha and Kagome at the back on Kirara. Ognas and Mirrou for some reason weren't speaking to eachother, but it was better than Baku and Meka, who couldn't walk past eachother without snapping a curse to the other. Inuyasha had kept his eyes closed ever since they set off, and Kagome wondered why. He didn't speak either, and his ears were perked foreward, concentrateing to be abel to hear and smell where they were going. Kagome touched his arm, and Inuyasha pulled away violently with a rabid snarl of 'don't touch me.' Kagome withdrew in shock and hurt. Why was he suddenly acting this way? Inuyasha opened his golden eyes, which were focused and solemn. He had picked up a scent on the wind. Of corse only he knew what it was.
Pure has become impure. Impure has become pure. Good has become evil. Evil has become good. To live is to die. To die is to live.
