Chapter 3- Loosing Control
Sweat glistened off his forehead as he panted his breath heavily in and out. Inuyasha rose his body; it felt heavy, as if something was weighing him down. His heavy footsteps clunked across the wooden floor- thud, thud, thud. Finally the noise stopped, as he towered over a lone figure laying beside the warmth of the fire.
She breathed softly, her warm breath illuminating the rest of the room with her sweetness, her long black tresses covering her smooth face, and her glistening lips shining with the light of the fire…..Inuyasha stood over her, he raised his hand….and drew out his claws….
Kill them Inuyasha…Kill them…..
Suddenly, Kagome yawned out loud……Inuyasha stood stock still in his position, daring not to move a joint.
Kill them Inuyasha…kill them….
Kagome opened her eyes steadily….she felt someone near her; she steadily opened the moist lids that lay upon her eyes, when suddenly she let out a loud scream…
"What the hell are you doing Inuyasha!" Kagome screeched!
In front of her stood Inuyasha, half dressed without his kimono on and his eyes…his eyes were blood red….his face was expressionless…almost monotone- it showed no emotion, no feeling as to what he was about to do…
As soon as he heard Kagome's loud scream he snapped out of his trance. "Huh….what's going on…" Inuyasha pondered out loud….. all of a sudden he looked at his hand, which was outstretched towards a frightened Kagome…and his claws were out- ready to attack…
"What the hell was I doing…?" Inuyasha said confusingly as he looked up at Kagome.
"That's exactly what I wanted to ask you Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed out loud in a semi scared tone.
what was I doing….(Inuyasha).
"What's going on here…what's all the commotion?" Miroku said as he lazily walked up towards the both of them, steadily rubbing his eyes to take away his sleepiness.
"..nothing…just the fact that Inuyasha was trying to kill me here!" Kagome yelled out sarcastically.
"Shut up! I didn't know what I was doing!" Inuyasha hurriedly said as he tried to make an excuse.
"What…Inuyasha…you tried to kill Inuyasha….?" Miroku looked at him with a surprised look, utter shock written on his face….
------------------------
"…damn that Inuyasha…." it said as it sat beside a small crackling fire. It impatiently tapped its finger on its shoulder to make up for its annoyance. It looked towards a nearby figure that lay sprawled across the floor. It got out of its comfortable position near the fire and walked up towards the dark figure….the small, tiny, fragile figure……I feel like crushing it (It).
"..Jengatsu…?" it said as it looked down towards the small figure…
No answer, the small little man still was sound asleep in his own world.
"…JENGATSU!..." it roared out loud!
"…huh..!huh!...what happened…..kagome! where? huh!"….the little man yelled as it woke up suddenly.
It eyed Jengatsu up and down…"…kagome….why did you just say Kagome…were you dreaming about her or something?"
"..huh… what…Kagome….no! no…..just slip of my tongue or something…" Jengatsu said in an anxious voice.
"…ok…..well I don't want to know what's going on in your sick little mind….i need to ask you something first…"
"What is it my Lord..?"
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED WITH YOUR PLAN? IT TOTALLY BACKFIRED!"
"What!" Jengatsu gasped...
"You heard me right….stupid Inuyasha snapped out of his trance in a quick second…I thought you said the necklace's possessive powers were so strong that nothing could take him out of his trance!"
"…but it is master…you just didn't use it correctly….there were probably too many distractions…."
"Don't gimme those God damn excuses you pathetic little man…your plan failed…now you must have your punishment…I told you I don't like to be disappointed…"
"WAIT! wait master! ONE more chance- just give me one more chance…I will not disappoint you this time…I have….I have another plan…" Jengatsu stuttered frighteningly.
"Oh really….well tell it to me quickly you imbecile, I don't have all day…."
"Well…."
--------------------------------
"You tried to kill Kagome!" Sango yelled out in a shocked voice. By this time several minutes had passed by. And one by one, they all woke up to the loud voice of Kagome repeatedly "accusing" Inuyasha of trying to kill her.
"I told you, I wasn't trying to kill her…I just woke up and I was there with my claws out.."
"Right and I'm supposed to believe that?" Kagome said as she crossed her arm and raised her brow.
"Well ya! I mean I'm not lying…" he replied.
"Hmm…..this isstrange…I mean something like this has never happened to Inuyasha before. Say…do you think maybe Inuyasha was…possessed…?" Miroku asked questioningly looking at Inuyasha.
"How the hell am I supposed to know- do you think that I remembered what I was doing!"
"True say….did anything unusual happen that day that made you act this way…" Miroku asked again.
"No…nothing….Ahh guys don't take this so seriously…I was probably sleep walking….i mean I probably wanted to kill Kagome subconsciously or something…her being so annoying and all," Inuyasha snickered, smiling broadly at his supposed "smart" joke.
"HEY! SIT! SIT! SIT!" Kagome huffed out loud in an outraged voice.
Inuyasha crashed hard through the floor…once…twice…three times. Each time harder than the first. He lay unconscious on the floor from his hard beating.
"….calm down Kagome…I think Inuyasha has a point here…"
"…what!" Kagome yelled out loud, shocked with surprise.
Miroku giggled…" No Kagome san, do not fret. I do not mean it in that fashion. I'm just saying that maybe Inuyasha was sleepwalking. I don't think he knew what he was doing. I think this was all just a big misunderstanding."
"YA….there you go Kagome!" Inuyasha said as he painfully pushed himself off the now broken wooden floor that had cracked from his repeated "falls" on the ground.
"…I guess…but you have to admit…that was weird though…." Kagome said hesitantly.
"Just forget about it…look it's late…I think we should get back to our sleep. We don't want to be tired tomorrow morning," Miroku said as he yawned out loud. He walked backed to his space on the floor and gently laid himself back towards the fire.
And with that, not thinking twice about the situation, all of them went back to sleep.
----------------------------
Morning had risen once again in the small little village. And thankfully so had the sun. It was a bright and shiny day, with a clear sky and glistening clouds spotted across its horizon. Kagome and the rest of them were lazily leaning against the nearby enchanted tree. Eagerly eating their hot lunch which Kaede had made especially for them.
The soft warm soup trickled down Inuyasha's throat as he chewed eagerly on the tender vegetables and succulent meat, absorbing all the flavour he could get out of it. He shifted his view towards Kagome. She did look beautiful today he thought. Her dark hair danced to the soft melodic rhythm of the wind, and her delicious lips were moist from the broth. Her dark brown eyes glistening with the beautiful reflection of the sun as she sat gazing into the distance.
Suddenly Kagome changed her view to Inuyasha, as she had noticed he was staring at her. Though he quickly turned his head, trying not to show that he had just looked at her. Both of them blushed cherry red, trying not to grab the attention of each other.
-------------------------
"Is it time?" it asked eagerly, glancing towards Jengatsu.
"Yes master, it is…" Jengatsu snickered evilly, though behind his fake expression of glee his mind was racing with nervousness…..this had to work…or else…
"Then go Jengatsu… you know what you have to do…"
-------------------------
Inuyasha sat beside Kagome, both of them flirting with one another, though trying not to show it. It was the perfect day, with the perfect weather….they both felt happy.
Suddenly Inuyasha jolted….Kagome quickly looked over to Inuyasha… "you okay Inuyasha?" she asked in a concerned voice.
Inuyasha's head faced the ground, his hair covering his face…slowly he lifted his head…grinning broadly and his eyes gleamed bright red… though as soon as he blinked his eyes went back to normal.
Something isn't right…did Inuyasha's eyes just gleam red...just like last night… (Kagome). Kagome shook her head, forgetting the thought. She hadn't slept well last night because of the "incident"…maybe the lack of sleep was making her see things.
"Hey Kagome…come with me…I have something to show you…" Inuyasha said as he slowly got up… moving his arm motioning her to go with him.
Surprised at Inuyasha's sudden change, Miroku and Sango turned to look towards Kagome, eager to see her reaction.
Kagome not sure what to do with this quite random reaction couldn't do anything but say…"...ummm….ya…sure Inuyasha….but where?" eager to know what Inuyasha was up to.
"…I can't tell you… just come with me! I have to tell you something…something…secret…" Inuyasha said, grinning widely, but making sure no one saw.
"Umm….ok…," Kagome said in a confused tone as she slowly got up from the ground to follow him.
Both Miroku and Sango looked at one another in the same confused manner that Kagome had had.
-------------------------------------
"I have to get there on time…I have to get there on time for everything to work out…!" Jengatsu yelped as he hobbled quickly down a long dirt path.
At the end of the path was a large cave….the "never-ending" cave they used to call it. Due it being so long that no one had ever found out where it had ended. Jengatsu quickly shuffled towards the entrance. Nearby there was a large boulder.
The perfect hiding spot (Jengatsu).
He limped over to the boulder and crouched behind it so that no one could tell there was a person there. Everything was set, the rope was in place, the boulder was in place…everything should go fine.
Perfect….
---------------------------------
Where is Inuyasha taking me…? (Kagome).
Inuyasha had been acting weird for the past few minutes. And this had been making Kagome feel extremely uneasy. She didn't know what was going on.
Think positive Kagome…maybe he's finally going to tell you his feelings for you… (Kagome).
Kagome smiled at the thought and with that she eagerly skipped over near Inuyasha. Eager to see what he had to say.
They walked down a long, winding dirt path. At the end of it was a cave... it was large, it was cold, it was…scary. As soon as the both of them entered the cave Kagome knew that for sure something had gone wrong. She glanced over towards Inuyasha….he had been ahead of her the whole time….
------------------------
ok….now….I'll cut it now (Jengatsu) thought as he took out a rusty knife and cut at a nearby rope that laid beside him. As soon as he saw Kagome and Inuyasha enter the cave, he knew it was time.
He repeatedly cut the rope, the rusty knife breaking each piece thread by thread. Finally the rope broke through its last strand- it had been cut….
Now that bitch will never escape… (Jengatsu).
-----------------------------
In the eager silence Kagome walked over to Inuyasha and grabbed his shoulder.
"Come on Inuyasha…won't you tell me now at least why you brought me here?"
He wouldn't budge.
"Oh come on now, don't be a spoiled sport. You brought me all the way over here for nothing?" Kagome asked in an annoyed voice.
Suddenly Inuyasha turned his head. Kagome screamed out loud. Inuyasha's eyes had turned blood red and there was a broad, wild grin that spread across his face. His claws were drawn out…and they were facing Kagome…ready to attack.
Kagome didn't know what to do. She was stunned….had this happened again to her? What was going on with Inuyasha? She was so confused. She stood stock still in utter shock, paralyzed with fear.
The only clear thought that came through her mind was…run, run Kagome, something's wrong with Inuyasha and you have to tell the others!
And with that Kagome turned her heel and headed towards the bright light that indicated the entrance of the cave.
Kill her Inuyasha…Kill her…
Though suddenly, just as she was about to dash through the entrance a large boulder dropped right in front of her… blocking the entrance. There was no way out of the cave! She was trapped.
Frightened, Kagome turned around…to see Inuyasha commencing towards her. His claws drawn, his smile wide….and his eyes blood red.
He snickered devishly out loud… "Come here Kagome…I have something to tell you…"
