DemonGirl-Setsuna: Hi there! Setsuna here! I'm back from
California, sorry I'm a week late in updating this, but I had to
make up all the schoolwork I missed. Well I had alot of fun
there, I went to an anime store, and I bought 3 InuYasha DVDs,
an InuYasha wall scroll, an InuYasha plushie, and a InuYasha
keychain. Here is the long awaited chapter. Sorry it's so long.
Please Enjoy!

Ch.7
The Answer About the Curse
----------------------
Two Days Later...
In Kagome's Room...
"Come on , InuYasha. Please wear the collar", Kagome pleds, trying to put
on him, the red collar she bought.
(Noway, I'm not wearing that, I am not your pet!), InuYasha thinks as he growls at her.
"You gave me no choice, InuYasha. Sit!", she yells, his body sits down, "Now stay",
she adds, puting the collar on him.
(Why can't I ever have control of my body when she says those words!), he thinks,
looking irrated, (When I meet that guy who did this to me, I'll kill him and his lacky!),
he growls at the thought.
"InuYasha you ready to leave?", Kagome asked, picking up an old fashion bag full of
supplies for the trip.
InuYasha turns to face her and his eyes open up wide as he sees her wearing a knee-length
dark pink kimono with a red belt and her hair neatly braided in the back with a light pink
ribbion tyed at the end, (Even more beautiful then before), he thinks, his tail wagging happily.
"Like it, InuYasha?", she asks.
"Bark!", InuYasha barks gladly, then stares at the floor, (But what if we can't
find a cure, then I'm doomed to remain a dog for the rest of my life, and
Kagome will have to marry someone else, because she's human and I'm...
I'm a pet dog. No, we will find a cure, I can't be thinking negitive),
he thinks.
"Don't worry, we'll find the cure", Kagome says, placing her hand on his head.
InuYasha looks up at her, (Yes, we will), he thinks, "Bark!", he agrees.
"Lets go", she says.
"Bark!"
-----------------------
Four Days Later...
In The Feudal Era...
"Even though you can't talk to or hold me, it's still nice that it is just the two of us
alone", Kagome says, "Whats wrong? You're awfully quiet, you would bark,
whimper or growl in response".
InuYasha just looks up at her, (Something doesn't feel right, it feels like we're being watched),
he thinks, then hears a twig snap in the bushes, he lies his ears back and growls.
"What is it InuYasha?", she asks.
InuYasha continues to growl, then starts barking, (Whatever is there I will not let it harm Kagome!),
he thinks, moving to stand inbetween Kagome and the bushes.
"Give us the shards of the shikon jewel", a demon demands, walking from the bushes.
(It's only a lowly demon), he says to himself, tackling it, (Easy to take care of).
But, before he could kill it, it lets out an ear-peircing scream, causing InuYasha to back
off, whimpering from the pain, and Kagome to cover her ears.
(Damn that demon, that hurt), he growled as his hearing slowly returned.
"I said, give us the shikon shards", the demon repeated as nine more demons came out of the
bushes.
(Damn it, we're surrounded!), he thinks as he looks around the tiny clearing.
"Give us the jewel shards", a demon three times bigger than InuYasha says.
InuYasha starts snarling, then jumps at the demon.
"Get off me, stupid dog!", the demon shouts, grabing InuYasha by the scuff of the
neck and throwing him againest a tree, and he falls to the ground with a sickening
thud.
InuYasha lays motionless, whimpering continuesously, his eyes closed as his
blood stained the white fur on his side and formed a puddle on the
ground.
"InuYasha!", Kagome screams as she runs towards him, but another demon
grabs her by the hair, "Let go of me you brute!"
"I think I'll either, make you my wife or eat you", the demon says.
In that insteant, InuYasha's eyes snap open, and in a blink of an eye he lunges at
the demon's throat, crushing it's windpipe.
He lands on the ground as the demon hits the ground dead, he growls and snarls
before lunging at another demon.
"Inu...Yasha", he hears Kagome say, he turns around after killing a second demon to
find her in a head-lock and a dagger held to her throat by another demon.
"You better not move dog or I'll have to kill your owner", the demon threatens.
(Owner! Nobody owns me!), InuYasha laughs in his head as he is still
snarling.
"I see you don't believe me", it says, moving the dagger closer to Kagome's windpipe,
"Do you beleive me now? I will slit her pretty little throat if you move, so stay still and
allow us to kill you to advenge our comrades".
(I have no choice but to complie, cause if I don't Kagome will die), he thinks, lowering
his head and addmiting defeat.
"Ah, you see it my way", the demon exclaims, "Comrades, go advenge those that
were killed".
The seven other demons charge towards InuYasha, the small ones attacking his legs;
biting and clawing them, the larger ones slashing at his body and head, InuYasha could
do nothing, but grit his teeth and surpress whimpers.
"InuYasha", Kagome whispers, tears brimming her eyes, 'These demons are only winning
because they have me hostage', she thinks, 'Wait I know!', she quickly bites down on the
demon's arm.
"Owwww!", it howls, "You damn wench!", he slaps her, sending her crashing into a tree
and she falls limp on the ground.
(Kagome!), InuYasha shouts in his head, (Wait a mintue, they don't have her anymore,
which means I can attack them now!), he snaps at the closest demon, killing one of the
small ones in an insteast, then he springs at the demon who had held Kagome
hostage.
"Dumb dog", the demon says, holding the dagger in front of himself.
The dagger perices InuYasha's side as he sank his fangs into the demon's throat.
InuYasha jumps off the demon, then uses his teeth to remove the
dagger from his side and stands inbetween Kagome and the remaining
six demons, growling angerly.
The demons pepare to charge again, but before they could, a golden falcon flies
into the clearing and lands on a nearby branch, the demons scream and
runaway.
(What was that about?), InuYasha thinks, blinking, (Kagome!),
he limps towards her, then licks her cheek, (Please still be alive).
"Uh...", she moans.
(Good, she is still breathing), he thought as he almost lost his balence, (Damn it, my
wounds are worst than I thought), he collapses onto his belly, (Why did those demons
runaway when that falcon show up?), he watchs the bird.
The falcon gives out a cry, before flying over a nearby path.
InuYasha weakly perks up his ears to hear a horse's foot-steps coming closer.
"Falchi, I see you found them", a woman's voice says.
The bird chirps, happily.
InuYasha sees a woman riding on a white horse, her pale pink kimono hanging out
from under a light gray cloak and golden blonde banges peeking out from the
hood.
"I hope the girl wasn't killed", the woman says, as the falcon lands on her shoulder.
(She seems friendly, but her scent I don't like), InuYasha thinks as he slowly stands
up on wobblely legs and a growl escapes his lips.
"Falchi, why didn't you inform me that her companion was seriously injuried", she
scorned, dis-mounting her horse and lowering her hood, her green eyes gleam in
the sunlight coming through the treetops.
The bird chirps, sadly.
"Everyone makes mistakes", the woman replies, walking towards InuYasha, "Oh,
you poor thing", she holds out her hand to him.
InuYasha continues to growl at her, just before the forest starts to spin and he slowly
blacks out, collapsing back onto the ground.
"We have to get both of them to the hut", she says.
---------------------
In the Woman's Hut...
Kagome awakes to find herself on a futon with her head and left wrist wrapped in
bandages, 'Where am I?', she asks herself.
"Oh good, you're awake", the woman says, entering the room.
"Miss, are you the one who saved us?", Kagome asks, sitting up.
"Yes I am", she replies, "And Falchi here, was the one that found you", she points to
the golden falcon.
"So beautiful", Kagome cooed, "Where's InuYasha!", she shouts, relalizing he was
missing.
"Your friend is over here, Kagome", the woman says, pulling back a hanging cloth
revealing InuYasha laying on his side on a pile of hay.
"InuYasha!", Kagome screams, getting out from under the blankets and running to
him.
InuYasha's whole chest, his left ear, the paws on both of his left legs and his right-hind
leg, and his whole right-front leg is wrapped in bandages.
"As you can see Kagome, InuYasha is still alive", the woman replies.
"How do you know our names?", Kagome asks.
"Oh, forgive me I have a habit of reading people's minds, I'm sorry", she answers,
"By the way my name is Himiko".
"InuYasha was sliced up before I passed out, but now his wounds are almost
completely healed, how that happen?", Kagome kneels next to InuYasha and
removes the bandage on his ear.
"Because of a healing potion I brewed, and gave to you and him", Himiko replies,
"But it only heals flesh wounds, not bones.
InuYasha unfortunately has three cracked ribs, and will be in extreme pain for about
one week".
Kagome acttidently rests her hand onto InuYasha's bandaged chest, causing him to yelp
in pain and send a shudder through his body, "Sorry InuYasha", she removes her hand
from his side, "So what can we do about his pain?", Kagome asks.
"Have him drink this, it'll work like a pain reliever or a pain-killer as it is sometimes called",
Himiko hands Kagome a cup.
Kagome gently lifts up InuYasha's head and tips the cup to his mouth, some of the contents
spill out of the corners of his mouth, but he swallows most of it.
InuYasha slowly opens his eyes and weakly stares at Kagome, (Good, Kagome
is alright, but I'm a wreak, I can barly move my body), he thinks, whincing as he
sighes in relief, (Well at least whatever was in that drink I was given is numbing the
pain in my chest).
"I'm glad to hear your relieved, InuYasha", Himiko says.
InuYasha looks at her, (It's that woman).
"Now that you're conscious again, InuYasha. I'll tell both of you the name of both the
attacker and the spell cast on you, InuYasha", Himiko replies, "The spell cast on you
is called; the Inu Curse, and the attacker's name is Godai, his lacky is called; Sukai".
"So how do we reverse the curse?", Kagome asks.
"When the sun turns dark or the eclispe as you call it, is the time the curse can be broken.
Godai only casts the curse on the male companions of the females he falls in love with,
also he only casts it, if the female hasn't told the male that she loves him", Himiko
answers.
"When does the eclispe happen?", Kagome says.
"In two weeks", she replies.
