A/N…OMG- I'm SO sorry for delaying the story for so long. I know it's been like 2 weeks:P I was just SOOO busy lately and I had like NO time to do anything. So right now it's a Sunday evening and I had some free time so I thought that I should catch up! Well like promised I'm adding a lot of Inuyasha's gayness and humour all jam packed into this chapter to make up for the last chap where there wasn't any…hope you enjoy!
Chapter 8- Kagome's weird behavior
Inuyasha trudged over to the nearby village. Kagome was hurt badly. Her thigh had been badly torn and a puddle of blood spattered onto Inuyasha's shoulder. He had tried as much as possible at the moment to stop the bleeding by ripping a part of his sleeve and wrapping it around her thigh. That was he could do for the moment.
She was lighter….that was a sign that she hadn't eaten much for a while. Something is really weird, something is going right... don't Kagome and Kouga love each other now…then… then why this? (Inuyasha).
Lights glimmered up ahead…the village was nearby. Inuyasha trudged up towards Kaede's hut. There sitting on the floor near the lit fire pit sat the whole gang- Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Kilala. It had just turned dawn, yet they were awake…a sign that they were anxious…anxious to see if Inuyasha had found Kagome.
When Inuyasha trudged through the doorway with a seemingly lifeless body of Kagome on top of his shoulder, then Shippo could do nothing, but shriek, Miroku let out a loud gasp and Sango squirmed.
"What happened!" Miroku got up worriedly and ran towards the injured corpse of Kagome.
"Looong story," Inuyasha replied.
"Well, before you tell us what happened, we better tend to her wounds, seem serious…" Sango said calmly as she analyzed the situation.
"That's right…we should," Miroku said, as he willingly laid an arm underneath Kagome's behind….suddenly he fell down to the ground.
Sango twitching said "Damn it Miroku, you can't even control yourself when Kagome's unconscious…you pervert!"
"What! I was just helping!" he moaned as he touched the large bump on his head.
Inuyasha and Shippo rolled their eyes in unison…
-------------------------------------------------------------
Kagome lay beside the fireplace, her wounds had been sealed and she had been fed an antidote to help numb the pain. Her soft breathe went in and out, showing she was slowly getting better.
Inuyasha had just explained the whole situation to everyone, and they were as confused as he was …what the hell was going on.
"So…is Kouga evil?" Shippo asked questioningly…
"You could say that…" Miroku said as he sat cross legged away from him.
------------------------------------------------------------
Kouga sat in his cave, he snickered to himself. I am such a genius...they are clueless.(Kouga). What Inuyasha or even Kagome hadn't noticed was the fact that when he had slapped Kagome on the face, he had smeared a potion cream on her face….things will be unusual on their side…Kouga thought as he snickered devishly to himself.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Kagome groaned, her eyes opened slightly as she adjusted them to the blaring light. Her head felt like a heavy rock, she felt drugged and numb. She didn't want to get up. Though suddenly she saw Inuyasha's face peer over her in concern…
"I-I-Inuyasha….?" Kagome groaned as she placed a hand over her eyes to get a better view of him.
He smiled reassuringly and rubbed his arm on Kagome's shoulder in a comforting way. "You bet it is…how are you?" he asked in a concerned voice.
"Not feeling that hot….but I feel much better than before…"
"That's good to hear…"
Kagome sat up, in the distance Sango sat up, smiling reassuringly. There was everybody, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Kilala, everybody was here. Kagome wanted to know if this was a dream…she wasn't sure. She tried to remember why she was here…then it struck her…Kouga.
She had to tell them, she had to tell them what Kouga had done, why everything had gone wrong. She opened her mouth ready to splurge everything out when suddenly….Kagome dropped onto the floor. Her whole body limp. She wasn't unconscious…but Kagome felt paralyzed, she couldn't move, something felt wrong now….
"Oh my gosh! KAGOME…" Inuyasha yelled as he ran towards her side.
Suddenly, Kagome got up, and she smiled. Though this smile wasn't normal. It seemed fake….
What's going on….I didn't want to move…it's as if my body's moving on its own….I can't control what I'm doing…or saying…..(Kagome).
"Oh don't worry about me...I'm perfectly fine," Kagome said as she jumped up with energy. (A/N- ok, for this chap, just pretend that Kagome is talking in a preppy, ditzy voice..:))
"…huh" Inuyasha got up as he slowly walked back towards the back wall of the hut.
"MMMHMMM….yupee…I'm perfectly fine and dandy…ready to go!" Kagome winced as she tried to flex her muscles, showing a small bump protruding from her arm.
"what the fk is wrong with her…" Inuyasha blabbered out loud.
"No, no, no…" Kagome wagged her finger…"No swearing honey…" She giggled out loud.
"….has she become retarded?" Shippo asked innocently.
"I have no idea…" Miroku stammered.
Sango walked up to Kagome and turned her head towards the others…" Well, don't just stand there like dumb asses, you can tell that she's been drugged…"
Still standing confused in the corner of the hut….Inuyasha finally managed a loud…"Ohhhhhhhhh…"
"What do we do then…" he asked questioningly….as he turned towards Kagome who was now skipping around the perimeter of the hut outside singing "ring around the rosy".
"We drug her…" Sango said in a matter-of-fact way.
"I don't get it….if she's already drugged then why would we drug her back…" Inuyasha said as he raised his eyebrow in confusion.
"An anti-drug….we use a drug that contradicts the current one, so that she will become neutral..." Miroku said as he turned towards Inuyasha…as if it were the most obvious thing.
Inuyasha whimpered a little bit, not only had his intelligence been insulted, but the most hurtful thing was that his intelligence had been insulted by Miroku…
"All we have to figure out is what the drug is….and then we can make the counter-drug…" Sango replied.
"…and we do that by…"
"Well, for now the only thing we can do is just look at the weird symptoms, sudden hyper activity, ditzyness….."
"…so I guess we need to find out more…"
"So then leave it to Miroku and I" Inuyasha jumped at the opportunity! "We're great team workers…just leave us alone and let the magic show!" Inuyasha said as he punched Miroku in the shoulder in a exaggerated/playful way.
"…I don't know if I should look at that in a dirty way, or a kiddish way," Miroku said as he looked at Inuyasha in a genuinely confused way.
Sensing the awkwardness of the situation, Sango decided to break the silence.
"I'm sure it meant nothing…you're over analyzing the situation Miroku…right Inuyasha.."
They both turned to Inuyasha, waiting for an answer….he was blushing cherry red….his words had sorta…kinda…maybe…come out wrong…."O-o-of course I meant that," Inuyasha stammered as he tried not to show his blushing face.
"Well then that's settled…" Inuyasha grabbed Miroku by the arm willingly to catch up to Kagome and figure things out. In the process, Miroku turned his head towards Sango, pleading with his facial expressions to save him…from Inuyasha!
-------------------------------------------------------------
"Ring a round the rosy, pocket full of poesies, hush-a-hush-a we all fall down," Kagome yelled out as she plopped herself onto the ground. She turned her gaze towards Inuyasha and Miroku who were uneasily walking up towards her.
"Wanna join me…" Kagome called out as she waved them over.
"Umm…no thanks, actually, why don't you come have a seat with us…" Miroku asked as he patted a spot beside him on the ground.
"OK!" Kagome smiled as she ran towards Inuyasha and Miroku sitting near a tree. She plunked herself onto the ground and turned her head towards them with a broad smile on her face.
Miroku looked at Inuyasha, with an expression of fear on her face…"You sure she's not possessed or something…" Miroku whispered to Inuyasha.
He leaned forward…"I'm pretty sure, Sango said she was drugged…"
"Damn it…it would've been much easier if she had been possessed, just a quick sing of my stick and she would have been fine…but nooo we have to deal with this," he replied as he reluctantly turned his head towards Kagome, who was still smiling just as broadly.
"Don't worry Miroku, if anything happens to you, then I'm here for you," Inuyasha smiled as he rubbed his arm against Miroku's shoulder…
Miroku slowly turned his head towards Inuyasha, staring at the horny look of him as he rubbed his shoulder……"Inuyasha….you can stop now…"
But it seemed as if Inuyasha was in a daze, in a trance and he kept rubbing, and boy….he kept rubbing and rubbing….( A/N… ha ha…I know that sounds so horny!)
Miroku couldn't take it any more….he jumped up and pointed an angry finger towards Inuyasha…"what the hell is wrong with you! I've been trying to control my temper for so long, but my patience can only last for so long- are you GAY! Ever since Kagome left, you've been acting so weird…and now...I'm sitting here outside…with two retarded people…one who can't stop smiling…and one who can't stop being GAY!" Miroku screamed out loud in an enraged voice.
With that he turned around angrily and walked towards the hut. Inuyasha turned towards Miroku…what have I done? I've just totally messed things up… (Inuyasha). And with that, Inuyasha ignored Kagome and ran after Miroku into the hut.
Kagome sat under the tree…watching everything that happened. What Inuyasha and Miroku hadn't noticed was that while they had both been arguing, Kagome's mood had changed. Her brows had furrowed lower, her mouth had frowned, and her eyes had become glazed. She became really her earlier mood….all she could muster out by the time both of them had left was…"…Kouga…"
-----------------------------------------------
Thank goodness, things had sorted out….(Inuyasha) thought as he and Miroku got up after a long "discussion"…though it couldn't really be called that since there was more yelling and screaming then actual talking, but still, no matter, things had sorted out.
"Sorry about all the confusion Inuyasha…" Miroku said as he smiled towards Inuyasha and patted his back. "I must've said some hurtful things…"
"You never told me that you had a disease that increased the amount of estrogen in your body so that you acted like a female/gay man and that you got it when Kagome left you and the amount of stress and depression deprived you of any common sense…"
Inuyasha snickered to himself…I'm so smart…I can't believe Miroku actually fell for that! (Inuyasha). "It's ok Miroku…I understand your confusion.."
They both laughed it off…and walked back outside to their situation with Kagome. They had just left her there; hopefully she hadn't done too much damage.
Though when they both walked out, to their surprise…..Kagome was gone.
