I woke up to a slap in the face. I suddenly felt weak and unable to move. I look up to see those yellow eyes. "What the hell is your problem!"
"I don't know…" I strained to get up, but he just pulled me up. I was dizzy on my feet; I just put a hand on and leaned against him. "I suddenly feel like there's this…" I stretched my arms out, "two foot gap between my brain and my spinal cord…"
"Well, you were deprived of oxygen for about five minutes."
"Five minutes?" I stepped back a foot, fell to my knees, putting my hands on the ground to brace myself. "I knew I wasn't feeling that good before." I coughed and got sick before falling on my side.
"What the hell is wrong with me?" I groaned, holding my sore stomach.
"That was scary… I mean, you were just standing there and taking it… like it was nothing. Do you want me to kill you!"
"No…" I coughed again, but nothing spilled out. I looked up at him and he looked concerned. "Why are you being so damn nice?" I coughed again and felt my guts spilling out.
"I don't know… but I really don't know what's going on with you."
"I wish I knew…" I blinked, "Inuyasha… why can't I feel anything? I feel my stomach being sore, but that's it. I wasn't scared when you choking me… and I'm not happy that you're paying so much attention to me. I know I should be, but I feel like I'm taking away from who you are. Maybe I just… go home before I do any more damage…"
"Humph, don't be so ridiculous." I cringed in pain and it erupted out of my mouth in shrieks. I looked down, shutting my eyes. "My only guess is that everything will shift back to normal after I'm without the jewel shard. I guess it was just holding me back. I want to return to where we were before my transformation; I feel like… I lost a piece of myself that day. The way I feel about you now… isn't the same as it was then. I miss that and I know that that's where I really want to be."
I inched myself off the ground, but I ended up leaning against Inuyasha's chest again. He stroked my head. "I think you've had enough training to last for a few weeks." He got me on his back, "C'mon, I'll take you somewhere where you can rest and get back to normal."
After traveling for a couple of minutes, we were able to make it to a cave. "A cave?" He let me off his back to walk for a bit, but I fell to my knees immediately. "Hey, don't strain yourself! You'll only get worse…" He sighed, "Fine, I'll make you more comfortable."
"Let me just lay my head on your lap…" I groaned, but looked at him. "You really are worried about me, aren't you?"
"Well, duh! Maybe all you need is to wait until you lose your demon powers… it'll be a while until the full moon, though. I'll let you rest until then; maybe we can work on getting you back to normal."
"I feel like you've become more human than demon in nature. It just doesn't feel right…"
"Humph, don't worry, I'll get back to normal in no time. It'll probably take a few days before all of the calmness is out of my system… but that's what I get for having too much of a good thing." He complained.
"That's more like it…" He gave me a straight expression that pretty much said, 'sure, whatever.' My heart leaped and then it settled back down as I slowly fell asleep.
