Ch. 2: Tears of the Hybrid
MattsyKun: NO MORE DISCLAIMERS! DOWN WITH DISCLAIMERS! I DON'T OWN INUYASHA! I OWN SAKIYASHA, the flame blade, Aaaaaaaaaand… lets see… (Looks at notebook where all this is written)…this notebook. Wait, my friend gave this to me. NEVER MIND!

Kagome's face had healed when they got to the hospital. Her miko powers must have done that. Other that having a sore back she was okay. Miroku was rushed to the emergency room, and Saki, Inuyasha, Shippo, and Sango were put into a room after being treated.
Saki was still unconscious. They had laid her in a bed. Inuyasha's right arm had healed, and he was curled up in a corner, crying. (I know he's OOC.) He wouldn't talk to anybody; not even Kagome.
"Sango, Inuyasha's really depressed. I think hurting his older sister killed his pride. He won't be the same ever again."
Sango gazed over at Inuyasha, who was running his hands through his hair.
'I almost killed my sister…I'll make sure she's okay, then none of them will hafta worry about me…again…' He started to sob again.
Saki's POV
I woke up in the dark. Sitting up, I felt bandages on my arm. I started to pant with exhaustion. The poison from Inuyasha's claws had not yet been flushed completely from my body.
I heard a soft sobbing. Looking over, I saw Inuyasha crying. My little brother was crying.
Normal POV
"Inuyasha?" Saki silently leapt out of bed and landed on her feet. She walked over to him.
"Are you okay?"
Inuyasha buried his face into his older sister's shoulder.
"I-I'm so s-sorry…"
Saki rubbed her brothers' ears soothingly. She rubbed them in a particular fashion; she started at the tips and went down.
"Shhh…it wasn't your fault. I'm okay."
"No, you're injured. I'm gonna leave you guys. I'm gonna go to the Feudal Era and live somewhere alone. If you say anything, I will kill you, despite the fact you're my sister." (He's still OOC. And he'll stay that way! MUAHAHAHA!)
"Inuyasha…"
Inuyasha pulled out a special herb and brushed it under her nose.
"Sleep, Saki, Sleep…"
Saki started to feel drowsy. "Don't… leave us…Inuyasha…" she started to fall backwards. Inuyasha caught her and laid her in bed.
"Good-bye, Sakiyasha…" Then he opened the window and jumped out.

Kagome ran down the hallway shouting Inuyasha's name.
"INUYASHA! INUYASHA!"
Saki woke up. She still felt a little sick, and her arm hurt a little.
"Kagome?"
Kagome dashed up to Saki, who was standing in the doorway.
"Inuyasha's gone!"
Saki faintly remembered talking to Inuyasha last night.
"Kagome…Inuyasha's gone. He told me he was gonna leave us last night. He thinks it's his entire fault."
"Do you know where he went?" Kagome asked.
"He said he was going back to the Feudal Era."
"Tonight's the new moon! We gotta find him!"
O

X-rays had shown Saki's arm had healed, and she and Kagome were released.
"Sango, stay and watch Miroku & Shippo. We're gonna go find Inuyasha."
Sango handed Kirara to Saki.
"Here, take Kirara with you." The two girls nodded and ran outside.
Saki followed Inuyasha's scent to the well. They leapt in and emerged on the other side. The sun was setting, and Inuyasha's scent had changed.
"He's already turned human." She and Kagome moved on.
Saki followed Inuyasha's human scent to a clearing, where there were bloodstains on the grass. Saki sniffed it and gasped.
"This is Inuyasha's blood! And it's fresh. He must be nearby."
Tears sprang to Kagome's eyes. "I hope he's okay…"
Saki sniffed around and found where the scent was freshest. Walking to another clearing where there was more blood, Saki sniffed and sighed. "Wolf and Inuyasha's blood."
"Is it Kouga's?"
Saki shook her head and Kagome sighed in relief. They continued onward, Saki pausing every now and then to make sure the trail was right. After following the trail for 5 minutes Saki leapt up into a tree. Two seconds later she leapt down and started running.
"Saki! Wait up!" Kirara transformed, Kagome got on her, and they started to follow Saki.
When Kagome finally caught up, she saw Saki sniffing at a wolf's limp body. Her ears twitched as she surveyed the area.
"Looks like Inuyasha strangled this one with his bare hands. Not before the beast did some damage, though. The kill is fresh; no more that 5 minutes."
Kagome sighed. "That means…"
"Yep, he's close by." Saki said. She sniffed at the ground, and then tore off, Kagome at her heels. Saki pulled out a flashlight and pointed it at the bushes.
"Kagome!"
Kagome dashed up to Saki. She peered through the bushes and gasped.
Inuyasha was surrounded by a pack of wolves. He was on the ground, trying to ward them off. The pack started to close in, and the leader licked his fangs and dove for his leg.
"Blaze Slash!"
The wolf was thrown backwards into a rock, burnt to a crisp. The pack pled, tail tucked between their legs.
"Inuyasha!"
Saki knelt by her brother and brushed his black hair back. His face was pale, and sweat was all over his face. Saki gently slapped him, and he opened his eyes. They were amber for a short-lived second, then they turned back to grey.
"Inuyasha, are you okay?"
Inuyasha weakly licked his sister's face. Saki wiped her cheek with revulsion and felt his forehead.
"You got a fever."
"Feh…" Inuyasha said weakly. Saki hugged him gently.
"Why did you leave us, Inuyasha?" She asked.
"I-I Just wanted t-to be alone, so I could get m-myself together. To gain control of myself."
"If you wanted to be alone, all you had to do was tell us, and we would've listened." Kagome declared.
Inuyasha blinked.
"I understand lil' brother. I've done stuff in my past I ain't proud of, and I cried for hours. But I got over it. That's what you need to do."
Inuyasha got on all fours and started to gasp in pain. There was a huge gash in his arm. He got up shakily, using the Tetsusaiga to hold himself up.
"Inuyasha-"
Kagome rushed to his side to help him up, but he pushed her away, insisting that he didn't need help.
"Move it, wretch." (That's more like the Inuyasha we know and love!)
"SIT, BOY!" Kagome said, forgetting that the rosary had gone kaput. Inuyasha flinched, and then smiled triumphantly.
"When this is over, I'm getting a new one."
Inuyasha swore under his breath, then fell to his knees.
"Gghhnngg…"
Saki motioned at Inuyasha.
"Sheath your sword. We're gonna go."
She whistled, and a small, black and white baby fox demon came out of the bushes. The fox, Pepperneko, transformed into a fox the size of Kirara in her demon form. Saki picked up Inuyasha, who was asleep, and placed him on the fox. Kagome got up on Kirara.
"Let's go. Inuyasha needs medical treatment! And fast!"
O
O
Saki was tired of walking, so she got on Pepperneko behind Inuyasha. His breathing was even, and he sneezed every now and then.
They got to the village. Saki carried the sleeping Inuyasha on her back to Kaede's hut.
"Why are ye up so late?"
Saki grumbled and shifted her hands so she would be more comfortable.
"Inuyasha's injured. Can we lay him down?"
Kaede motioned to a water bed. (I like water beds lots!) Saki gently laid him down and brushed his hair back. She placed the back of her hand to his forehead.
"He still has a fever."
Kagome put a cold, damp cloth on Inuyasha's forehead and griped his hand. He opened his eyes and sneezed.
"A-A-ACHOOOO!"
Inuyasha wiped his nose on the sleeve of his haori. He noticed his arm was bandaged up.
"W-Wh-What happened?"
"You were asleep…"
Inuyasha stretched and looked around. "Where's Saki?"
A dog with silver fur came in. she was holding a dead duck in her mouth. The dog (Saki) was wagging her tail as she sat before Kaede and dropped it at her feet.
"SAKI!" Saki blinked and her ears twitched.
"You said you needed a duck, so here it is!"
"I said a LIVE duck, you baka!" Kaede yelled. She threw a wooden spatula at Saki. It hit the dog in the head, and she had a lump on it. Turning back to her normal form, she glared at Kaede and disappeared in a puff of red smoke. Inuyasha and Kagome sweatdropped.
"I see some things haven't changed."

MattsyKun: I cut out a giant paragraph from my notebook. And I wrote small, too!
Sesshoumaru: You are so off the plot.
MattsyKun: Don't worry; I'll get to the point. I've already started working on a cure for a couple of things…
Sesshoumaru: R&R
