Ch. 12

Human Again! What! InuYasha

is Talking About His Past!

-----------------------------

InuYasha moans, then slowly lifts his head off the floor and coughs uncontrollably.

"InuYasha, are you ok?", Kagome asks, taking a step towards him.

He slowly opens his violet eyes, he blinks a few times, then pushes himself into a sitting position and turns his head to look at her, "Yeah, I'm fine, I only have a headache", he puts a head to his forehead.

"How could this happen, it isn't the night of the first new moon!", Kagome exclaims.

InuYasha stands up and staggers to the barred window, "Come here and look at the moon", he says, pointing.

She heads to the window and looks, "The Lunar Eclipse", she whispers, staring at the mostly red tinted moon with only one-sixth of it was still pure white, 'Why is the lunar eclipse affecting InuYasha?', she asks in her head.

"The blood red moon, the only other thing that turns me human besides the turning of the cycle and purifying barriers", he answers with pain in his voice, "And is completely unexpected, of when it does come".

Kagome hears him choke back a sob and looks at him, two streams of tears falls from his eyes, "Mother..", he whispers, then trails off.

"InuYasha, what's wrong?", she asks.

"Huh? My mother, she died on such a night", he replies, trying not to sob.

"It's ok, it wasn't your fault she died, you were only a child then", Kagome says, pulling him into a hug.

(A/N: Aww! Cute fluff!)

"So how are we going to escape this cell?", InuYasha asks, pulling out of the hug.

(A/N: Poopy! Great while it lasted!)

"I don't know", Kagome replies.

"You have a stick or anything straight?", he says, crouching near the door.

"I have a pencil", Kagome says, holding it up.

"Let me have it", he takes the pencil from her hand, and sticks it into the keyhole, moving it slightly until the lock clicks.

"How did you learn to do that?", she asks, taking the pencil back from him.

"I was locked up once; years ago, when a village cornered me and then I turned human in front of them, I was captured and was to be publicly killed before dawn of the next day…", he stops to take a breath, "…I used a meat bone to pick the lock and I sneaked out of the village before they found out that I got away", he looks at her with pain in his eyes.

"I had no idea that ever happened to you", she gasps, covering her mouth with her hand.

"It's ok, I'm still alive, aren't I", he replies, some cheeriness growing in his voice, but his eyes still held pain, "Well let's go", he takes hold of her hand and leads her out of the cell.

------------------------------------------

In the Hallway…

"Kagome, hand me tetsusaiga", InuYasha whispers to her.

"Why?", handing him the sword.

"Something doesn't feel right", he slightly draws it, with the back of the sword facing him.

In a blink of Kagome's eyes, a sliced rope is laying on the floor and Remii is standing in front of InuYasha.

"I'm surprised, you guessed when my rope was circling your neck, human", she sneers.

"Just call it intuition", InuYasha laughs, "You stupid, weak demon".

(A/N: Oh sure, piss off the demon, when you have no demonic powers to defend yourself with!)

"That does it! I'll kill you!", Remii screams, disappearing into the surroundings.

(A/N: If anyone's seen the second episode of Yura, would recognize the line)

'Damn it, she's blending in again! I survived by luck the first time, but now it's difficult to track her', he thinks, looking for her shadow, but when he spots it, he couldn't dodge in time as Remii's fist connected with the side of his head.

InuYasha crashes into the stone wall, his eyes wereslightly opened and unfocused.

"You arrogant brat, on one insults me and gets away with it", Remii says, reappearing, her hand glowing with green energy, "Now you die!", she digs her claws into his right shoulder.

"Ngh!", InuYasha utters, as Remii's claws sunk deeper into his flesh.

"Painfully for you, human", Remii laughs, just before an arrow whizzed by her head, "Huh! That human wench", she turns towards Kagome, removing her claws from InuYasha.

"Get away from him now!", Kagome demands, drawing the bow.

"Kagome…", he says, weakly looking at her out of the corner of his eyes, before closing them and going limp against the wall.
