Chapter 5: The beginning
"Sit there," the woman said as we entered, pointing to the rug thing in the middle of the hut.
InuYasha sat and yanked me to the floor. I growled and snatched my arm away from him. He gave me a death look and I lifted my chin and looked away.
He's so childish. He's worse then Souta.
I looked at the woman, who had her back to me, and noticed that she was muttering something in an unknown language. I glanced at InuYasha who was staring into a water bowl that was sitting two feet from him. I rolled my eyes and looked back at the old woman.
I tilted my head to the side when I noticed that something was glowing in front of her and it wasn't the fire. I jumped when I heard InuYasha yell. I looked over at InuYasha and was shocked to see beads forming around his neck. They were glowing like the thing that old woman had in front of her.
"Kagome, the word of obedience please," the woman said suddenly.
I looked at her. "The what?" I asked as I noticed, all to well, the furious hanyou next to me.
"The word of obedience. Quickly, child," she said as I rose to my feet and backed towards the door.
I watched as InuYasha clawed at the beads that were solidly around his neck. I gasped when he fell towards me. I stepped backwards and fell.
"A…"think, Kagome, what can you say that will make him obey.
I got to my feet and looked directly at InuYasha. "Sit boy!" I said threateningly and visibly.
I jumped back when his face smashed into the ground. He laid there for a second, and then raised his head. My heart jumped. He looked even angrier then he had earlier. It looked like he wanted to shred me into pieces with his bare hands right then and there. I watched as he stood up. I glanced down at the face mark he left on the floor.
"Why you…" he started to say.
"Don't come any closer or I'll say it again," I threatened, making him stop in mid-sentence.
"What makes you think that you have control over me, wench? I can still kill you," he replied.
I heard a sickening pop and looked down at his clenched fists at his sides. He slowly popped each knuckle. I heard a loud POP and knew that he had popped his neck.
I looked up and held my chin high. "How can you threaten me like that? Just for that…SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT BOY!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.
His face smashed so hard into the ground that it broke the floor boards and it smashed several inches into the ground after that. I swallowed hard and heard him groan as he slowly raised himself up from the dust.
I heard him growl as he slowly looked up at me. My heart jumped to my throat. With the look he was giving me, I wasn't so sure the beads would hold him back.
My mind ran between running or shouting "sit" at him again. I chose running. I spun away from him and bolted through the woods, shouting "sit" six times for the heck of saving my hide.
I looked back and saw dust in the air. I screamed when I saw InuYasha burst through the cloud of dust and speed towards me. I looked away and felt my foot hit a rock. I flew forward and felt the tiny jewel that everyone was searching for POP out of my body.
I watched, in slow motion it seemed like, as the jewel slowly fell and hit the sharpest rock around. I turned my head and saw water and rocks about 500 feet down. I had tripped over a stupid rock and was about to meet my maker. I glanced to see if InuYasha was still coming, but I was blinded by the brightest pink light I had ever seen in my life. I watched as the jewel shattered into millions of the tiniest pieces. All of them but one seemed to scatter all over the world. The one that did not scatter was going straight for InuYasha.
"INUUUYAAASHAAAA!" I screamed to the top of my lungs but was too late. The shard hit him square in the chest, right beside his heart.
I looked back down and saw the water and sharp pointed rocks come closer and closer.
