Chapter 14/ A little happiness
A/N: Sesshomaru is going to come in on this one! Aren't ya'll so happy? Rin is coming too and Sango's little episode will come to a close so ya'll find out why that was going on. Oh and since my computer is SO stupid for thoughts now they will be in (0) that…ok?
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha…so I'll just image I do…maybe it will come true…
Kagome was panicking. Here she was with a unconscious half-demon, and ghost straight out of the Grudge trying to kill them both. This just wasn't her idea of a nice trip.
The lady held a fist full of Inuyasha's pant leg and pulled. Kagome pulled back adrenalin kicking in she jerked Inuyasha out of her grasp with a swift kick to the head. What she wasn't counting on was the lady's head just making a 180 along with a sickening sound. Not needed. (Ew!) Kagome thought. Without another thought Kagome squirmed out from under Inuyasha and stood up. She looked down at the lady. She lay unmoving in a sickening position. Kagome sighed…maybe it was over. Kagome got a closer look at her. Her eyes were wide and blank, not to mention creepy! Her hair covered her shoulders and most of her face, another thing was that her mouth was agape. Kagome turned away to see if Inuyasha was alright. What Kagome didn't see was the crimson slowly flowing into her eyes.
At Keade's!
Koga was getting restless. Sitting here looking at the same spot in the wall for a while. Ayame and Miroku had yet to stop their bickering.
Ayame huffed and turned away. "I hate you."
"Like wise." Miroku said. Ayame walked over to were Koga sat and plopped down next to him.
"I'm going to try to get some sleep…bug me and die." Ayame closed her eyes and was soon of in La la land. Miroku sighed and sat down next to the sleeping Sango and looked over at Koga.
"Now what?" Koga shrugged. Keade gave an unusually loud snore causing both to look at the drooling/snoring priestess. One thought ran threw both of their heads, we are SO not getting any sleep tonight.
With Kagome and Inuyasha
Kagome bent over Inuyasha and shook him.
"Yo, Inu, wake up will you?" Kagome remembered something her brother would do if she slept to long. So she plugged Inuyasha's nose and closed his mouth. She waited for a few seconds until Inuyasha's eyes shot opened. Kagome let go of his nose and mouth allowing fresh air in. Inuyasha sat up and coughed.
"Damn wretch, what the hell did you do that for!" Inuyasha yelled at her. Kagome glared at him then pointed to the 'lifeless' corps of the lady.
"For one you passed out at a very crucial moment. Two you left alone and I had to save your butt. Three you scared the crap out of me. Four-" Inuyasha cut her off.
"Ok just tell me what happened." He motioned towards the person.
"Oh…well lets see…I did a up-chuggy with a-"
"In English please."
"Fine, I did a front kick with a side of roundhouse…kick." Kagome explained. "But I wanted to just my back kick or a side kick-"
"Kagome I get it! Just shut up!" Inuyasha growled out. Kagome settled to just glaring at him. Inuyasha looked around and spotted the seemingly dead body of the lady. Inuyasha sniffed the air and stared at the body feeling it pulse. Inuyasha's eyes widen and stood up fast getting a slight head rush.
"Kagome?" Kagome looked up at Inuyasha.
"What?" Inuyasha didn't even look at her he just backed away towards the stairs.
"Run." Kagome stared at him in confusion.
"Why?"
"Because I said so."
"Why?" Kagome grinned innocently at him. Inuyasha growled.
"Because if you don't you'll be in trouble." Inuyasha hissed at her. Looking over her shoulder Inuyasha saw the lady rise up. Her eyes no longer black but blood red with lightning blue pupils. Purple stripes ran a crossed her face. Penetrating threw her lower lip were two huge fangs. Inuyasha made a grab for Kagome, but stopped when the lady made a move at her.
"Kagome…get your ass over here!" Inuyasha whispered urgently. Kagome still was confused as to why.
"Fine…but why?"
"Because-"
"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh…." Kagome froze.
At Keade's
Keade stirred a little. She felt serge of energy coming from some were in the hut. Sitting up she looked over at the sores that was floating softly off the floor with a soft purple glow. Keade smiled… (So its finally starting, took long enough) she thought.
Sighing softly she looked around and noticed that everyone else had finally fallen asleep. Shifting slightly she got comfortable and fell back to sleep.
With Inuyasha and Kagome
Kagome froze, her eyes widened. In the corner of her eye she saw the woman turned demon leaning over her shoulder and a clawed hand reaching for her shoulder. Not knowing what else to do, Kagome lifted up her right leg as high as she dared then brought it straight back. Her foot collided with the ladies stomach and smashed threw leaving her foot hanging out of a gapping hole in the ghost's body. Liquids and other things she didn't want to know collided with her foot. Kagome extracted her foot and looked at it. It was covered with green goo, Kagome twitched.
"EW!" She screamed. Before she could do anything else, Inuyasha grabbed her around the waist and carried her away from the lady. Inuyasha ran with amazing speed and down the stairs into the kitchen. Inuyasha dropped Kagome rather ungracefully onto the floor. He then locked the door and sat down in front of it panting. He looked over at Kagome who was washing her leg and throwing away her slipper and sock she was wearing.
"Hey, Kagome?" Kagome looked up at him. Her hair was falling out of her usual high ponytail; she was also pale and shaking.
"What?"
"Were did you learn how to fight?" He saw Kagome shrugged.
"I take a Tae Kwon Do class back in the states."
"What belt are you on?" Kagome laughed a little.
"Is this your idea of small talk?" Inuyasha gave her a look that told her to answer, she sighed. "I'm on my black. Just got it a month ago." She walked over to him and sat down next to him. "Why?"
"Just wondering."
"So, tell me, how come we haven't seen any gossip people trying to mob ya'll when ever you leave the house?" Inuyasha smiled causing Kagome's heart to miss a beat. (That's the first time I've seen him smile!)
"It's because we grew up here. Everyone thinks that were in the big city do performances, but were not, were here looking out for you three and getting killed ever since you came."
"Well sorry." Another strand of hair fell into her face. Kagome blew it out of her face and reached up to undo her hair. Inuyasha watched as it cascaded down her back to rest just under her shoulder blade. It looked soft and smooth. He didn't know what made him do it but he suddenly reached out and yanked on her hair.
"OWW!" Kagome wiped around and smiled a little. "If you wanted to touch it you should have just asked." Inuyasha let go and huffed wile turning away. Out of the corner of his eye he watched her put her hair back up into a tighter ponytail. Kagome sighed and looked over at Inuyasha. She looked up at his ears and saw them twitch a little. (Awww how cute!) Kagomequietly reached up a hand and rubbed one of his ears. Inuyasha jerked and jumped away glaring at her.
"What the hell did you do!" He yelled. Kagome laughed. Well, that is until something slammed against the door. Kagome jumped up from her place on the floor and ran to the other side of the room followed by Inuyasha. The door was being pounded on again and again. Splinters were falling off of the door and creating a big mess.
"Why does this stuff happen to us?" Kagome and Inuyasha both said. The door busted off its hinges as chunks of wood was sent their way. Inuyasha pulled Kagome down just in time before the splinters contacted either of them.
"I really don't want to see what's on the other side." Kagome whispered. Inuyasha nodded.
"Let's just hope that it thinks were some were else." He whispered back. Kagome gasped and Inuyasha turned just in time to see a clawed hand run threw Inuyasha's shoulder.
"Inuyasha!" Inuyasha took his own claws and cut off the unneeded extension. Holding his wound he crawled away from the ghost. She still had the hole in her gut thanks to Kagome and now she had one arm missing.
"Inuyasha, we have to do something! Theirs no way out!" Kagome whispered urgently into his ear.
"I know!"
"Its just like guys to get a kitchen without an island counter!"
"Well pardon me! I didn't buy this house!"
….
"…so…anyways I'll distract the thing wile you find a way out of this mess."
"No way! You'll die in the first two seconds!"
"Yeah right, I'll just kick her and run." Kagome said defiantly. Inuyasha growled then turned away from her. Suddenly his claws glowed red and he made a downward motion with them causing the ladies body to be slashed up into bits of flesh. Kagome blinked a few times then glared at Inuyasha's smirk.
"Don't you smirk at me…why didn't you do that in the first place!" Inuyasha shrugged.
"You were always in the way." Kagome looked back over at the remains and saw something glowing. Not listening to Inuyasha's protest Kagome crawled over to the carcass and saw a pink shard of glass. It glowed softly causing Kagome to be a little uneasy yet calm at once. She reached out and picked it up. Suddenly the remains settled into dust and started to drift towards the clinging. Kagome looked down at the shard and saw that it had a bright pink glow.
"Hmm."
"What 'hmm'?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome showed him the shard.
"I think this is what is making that ghost appear like she was."
"Maybe, but we need to ask someone to confirm." Kagome nodded.
"What are we going to do with the remains?"
"Well Miroku might want to prey over them…that's why we call him a monk…"
"Figured as much. But first we need to clean that wound." Inuyasha waved her off.
"It's nothing but a scratch. I'll be fine in a little bit." He said.
"Hummer me then." Kagome got up and grabbed a rag and wet it then placed it on Inuyasha's wound, then held it in place. "There, I feel better."
"Ha ha, very funny." Kagome stuck her tongue out at him. He did it back. He then grabbed for a jar on the counter and swept up the remains. Some of the dust flew into his nose making him sneeze. A wave of fury over took him. His eyes shifted from amber to blood red with lighting blue pupils. Purple stripes ran down the sides of his face and his fangs and nails grew longer. Kagome was busy looking at the shard in her hand to notice the change. (I wonder if someone was controlling her…if so then why are they coming after us?) Inuyasha had snuck up behind Kagome with anger in his eyes. He raised one of his claws, nails glowing red, above her head ready to strike.
With Keade
Sango woke up feeling refreshed and ready to start the day. The last few days were a blur to her. She couldn't remember anything. Looking around she noticed that she was on her back staring at Keade's ceiling. She blinked a few times getting rid of the sleep in her eyes. She sat up and noticed that Miroku was uncomfortably close to her still asleep, Shippo next to her also asleep, Keade in the far corner…asleep…and snoring really loudly, Ayame and Koga were sitting next to each other, Ayame's head on Koga's shoulder and his head on the top of hers…asleep. Sighing Sango walked over to were Keade was asleep and shook her awake. Suddenly a wave of images flooded threw her head. They were of Keade when she was small, her older holding a child, that child looking a lot like Kagome…no Kikyo! Keade, older, waves Kikyo away with what looked like Kikyo's parents behind her. Sango withdrew her hand from Keade's shoulder. Keade stirred and looked over at Sango with a smile.
"Keade! I don't know what happened. I was suddenly seeing things in the past. And was that Kikyo! How do you now Kikyo? Isn't she dead! And-"
"Chill child. I don't know what ye are talking about?" Keade said with a blink.
"I saw thing when I touched your shoulder! It was seeing into the past." Before Keade could respond Miroku stirred and awoke and seeing Sango awake smiled. Sango blushed as Miroku walked over to them and sat down next to Sango.
"I'm glad to see that your sickness is over." He said. Sango blushed even more until she felt a slight pressure on her rear. Sango's eyebrow twitched. Soon Miroku found himself facing the floor with a rather red handprint on his cheek. Amongst the noise Shippo, Koga, and Ayame woke up. They say what had become of Miroku and a sigh a glare and a chuckle was heard, Sango was livid.
"Anyways Keade, do you know why that happened?"
"What happened, Sango?" Shippo asked jumping on her shoulder. Ayame and Koga looked eager too. Keade sighed.
"Ok, what happened to ye was NOT a common cold." She started.
"WHAT!" All five of them yelled.
"Well, if you remember Miroku not to long ago you too had the same symptoms as her." Miroku nodded. "Well, anyways Sango's power was growing too rapidly or was waning so her body didn't want to lose it so then put ye into a state of sickness. So to make this long story short, you just gain a new power." She was met with blank stares.
"So because I was sick I gained a new power?" Sango said.
"In a weird way, yes. Ye body was glowing before you woke up showing that ye had gain that new power. And so I think that your new power is sight."
"What's sight?" Ayame asked.
"Sight is seeing things that no one person can see, like seeing into the past, the present, or the future." Miroku explained. Sango paled.
"So…when I touch…people…I see things…" She asked.
"That and THINGS, Sango." Keade said. Sango paled even more.
"So I can't touch anyone anymore?" She said crestfallen. She looked at her hands sadly. Ayame touched her shoulder reasserting. Sango gave her a weak smile thanking her. Keade look over her thoughtfully.
"No…not until you can control it. So…" Keade walked over to a shelf and grabbed some cloth and handed it to her. "For now wear these. There gloves to protect your mind from unwanted memories." Sango took the gloves and slipped them onto her hands.
"Thank you, Keade." She said. "I think that I want to go the house now." Keade nodded.
"That would be a good thing I think."
"Knowing Inuyasha and Kagome they might be killing each other right about now…" Koga said. The others sighed. Even though they haven't known each other but for about a week or two they still felt really close.
With Kagome and Inuyasha
Inuyasha was pitted over Kagome ready to strike. Just as Inuyasha was about to strike pounding was heard like someone was running. Kagome turned towards the door to see who was coming when out of the corner of her eye she saw Inuyasha.
"I-Inuyasha…what are you doing?" She whispered. Her answer was only a growl. Kagome started to scoot back until her back meet with a cabinet. Inuyasha glared at her and staidly walked to her claws red and at the ready. Just when she thought it was all over and figured appeared in the door was. Long silver hair wet from the rain clung to his back. His business suit ruined and his face wild, he looked a lot like Inuyasha except that his ears were pointed and on his face were markings. Two purple stripes ran along each side of his face and a crescent moon was placed on his forehead. And instead of little doggy ears his ears were pointed and in the regular place. His eyes were gold but held no warmth, just a cold stare. He ran in and punched Inuyasha in the gut causing stumble back. Inuyasha growled and jumped at the strange man who kicked him in the gut sending Inuyasha flying into the refrigerator. Inuyasha didn't move after that. The man turned to regard Kagome.
"You ok?" He asked. Kagome would have smiled if their had been concern really in his voice and not a uncaring one. He then turns towards the door again.
"Rin! You can come in now, and bring the case." Kagome looked to find a teenage girl with black hair running into the doorway. Like the random dude she was wearing a business suit. But unlike the dude she looked human. Some of her hair was pulled into a side ponytail while the rest cascaded down her back and ended just below her shoulder blade. Her eyes were still child like and had a rich brown color to them. She smiled as she came in and under her arm she held a mahogany box with strange writings on it.
"Great job my lord! Here's the box that you wanted." She handed him the box and he took it with out a thank you. As he opened it Inuyasha began to stir. Blood red eyes slowly opened to glare at the man. The man extracted a necklace that contained black beads and fangs.
"!" The dude started to chant. Kagome was puzzled (What in the whole wide world was he doing?) The necklace was glowing and broke into many pieces that flew at Inuyasha and reformed around his neck. Now Inuyasha was fully awake and ready to kill something, his eyes first landed on Kagome and figured that she would do.. Slowly he got to his feet and made a lunge at her. The man sighed and grabbed Inuyasha around the next holding him in place.
"Hey girl, say a subdue word." Kagome blinked.
"A sub-what?" He sighed yet again.
"Say something that would stop him."
"Oh…why did you say that in the first place? Ok sit boy!" The necklace glowed a soft pink and sent him crashing to the floor…hard. He started twitching and a low growl came from him. His head shot up to glare at Kagome and to her relief he was normal again.
"What the hell did you do wretch!" Kagome growled and pointed at the strange man.
"Well don't get mad at me! He told me too!" Inuyasha looked over wide eyed at the man before him.
"What…the…hell? Sesshomaru what in the world are you doing here!" He was given a growl and a small giggle in his response. (This is certainly interesting…) Kagome thought.
