There's a fight that goes on... but there's still funny stuff at the end, so don't worry. -smiles again-
On with the story...
Chapter Four- God is Dog Spelled Backwards
Sesshoumaru…
"What are you doing here?" InuYasha spat out. Sesshoumaru turned his gaze slowly to InuYasha.
"What do you think I'm here for idiot?" InuYasha growled, and Koga stood ground, next to Kagome. The puppy started whimpering and fidgeting in Kagome's arms.
"You are not taking Tetsusaiga. I thought a bastard like you would have given up already." InuYasha retorted, and took the sword in his hands. Sesshoumaru stood standing, motionless, with an emotionless face.
"I'm not here for Tetsusaiga." Was all he said.
"What?" InuYasha asked, quite puzzled.
"Are you deaf, half-brother?" Sesshoumaru countered, and InuYasha's anger rose.
"Well, then what are you here for?" InuYasha asked. Sesshoumaru took this time to attack, while InuYasha's guard was down and asking questions. Before InuYasha blinked, Sesshoumaru was already two feet in front of him, and had grabbed his neck. He held InuYasha up as he strained.
"InuYasha!" Kagome yelled out, but he didn't reply.
Damn it… I need to breathe… shit just fucking let go already!
Kagome was frantic, and the puppy fidgeting around didn't really help ease her heart.
"Kagome… don't worry about that mutt." Kagome stopped her trance of thought and panic and faced Koga.
"But InuYasha… he—."
"Don't worry. That demon doesn't seem like a strong one." Koga said, trying to assure her. Kagome sighed. You are sooooo wrong… A sudden idea came into her head.
"Hold on… Koga…" Kagome said.
"Yeah?"
"Can you run us back to the village? I want to get my bow and arrows." Koga didn't like the idea, but Kagome was so worried, he gave in. He picked her up bridal style as Kagome held the puppy, and off they went.
Goddamn it! InuYasha thought. It was getting hard for him to breathe. Koga just ran away with Kagome… he'll pay once I finish dealing with Sesshoumaru.
"Why aren't you using Tetsusaiga?" InuYasha heard him say. Next thing he knew, his head collided with the ground after a small breeze of wind.
Shit.
InuYasha got up putting his weight on Tetsusaiga and shook his head a little. He unburied Tetsusaiga from the ground and went into his fighting stance once again. Sesshoumaru charged at him, and he ran just quick enough that Sesshoumaru only grazed his left arm. InuYasha stumbled a bit from the pain.
This is not going good. InuYasha quickly thought, but picked up his Tetsusaiga with his right hand. Sesshoumaru's right hand now glowed green, and he was slowly walking towards him. InuYasha picked up his Tetsusaiga and put it away in its sheath.
Tetsusaiga's not going to help if I can't use both hands… shit. InuYasha decided to take this time where Sesshoumaru was walking to attack. ((Not very bright if you ask me)) InuYasha sped up to him, but Sesshoumaru moved before he could attack. Sesshoumaru instantly went up behind him and made a hole in his stomach from the back. InuYasha groaned in pain, and nearly fell to the ground when Sesshoumaru let go.
"InuYasha!" He heard. Kagome? He looked up, and there was Kagome with Koga. Instead of the puppy, Kagome now aimed her bow towards Sesshoumaru, and laid an arrow in place.
"Kagome…" InuYasha managed to whisper. "Don't…" but Kagome already shot the arrow, and it purified Sesshoumaru's poisonous hand. Sesshoumaru didn't move, and just slowly turned his head, facing Kagome.
"InuYasha, I suggest you tell her to stop, unless you want to see her dead right before you." InuYasha said nothing, and Sesshoumaru continued.
"Pathetic. To be saved by someone else. A jinteki, no less." Sesshoumaru said, and walked away. Kagome ran towards InuYasha, as Koga just stood there, watching. She put the bow on the ground next to her and reached for him.
"InuYasha?" There was no response. Kagome was on the brim of tears, but she held them back.
"InuYasha?" She tried again, and this time, a cough sounded, and blood came out from the mouth.
"Kagome…" his voice whispered as he slowly got up.
"InuYasha… are you alright?" InuYasha didn't respond. No voice, no movement to show yes or no. He just limped away from her. He walked past Koga, and back to the village. Kagome walked up to Koga.
"Thank you, Koga, for helping me get my bow and arrows." Koga smiled.
"It's alright." Kagome smiled a small smile towards Koga.
"I'm sorry, but I have to go make sure InuYasha's alright." Kagome said, and she left.
"InuYasha!" She yelled out. It didn't take much to catch up to him, seeing as he was walking so slow.
"InuYasha. Are you alright? You have answered me yet." She heard him breath unevenly, so she kept quiet and walked beside him. There was silence the whole way back to the hut. InuYasha walked into the hut, and found Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Kirara, and the puppy sitting next to the fire.
"InuYasha."
"InuYasha, what happened?" InuYasha just grunted and sat down. Kagome quickly grabbed the first aid kit and started tending to his wounds. Kagome was silent, and so was InuYasha. Shippo was playing with the dog, but Miroku and Sango kept trying to get answers.
"What happened?"
"Are you alright?"
"Who did this?"
"Why were you out this late?"
"Kagome, what happened?"
"You aren't hurt too, are you?"
"Who did this to InuYasha, Kagome?"
"Kagome?"
"InuYasha?"
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Was the next thing the whole village heard after Kagome finished bandaging his stomach. Everyone was quiet now. The dog was quiet, Shippo was scared, and Miroku and Sango were not happy, but decided to keep quiet as well. Not even the crickets were chirping. Kagome sighed, and decided to break the awkward silence.
"Why don't you sleep on Kaede's bed, since she's not here right now?" Kagome suggested. InuYasha glared at her, but went to her bed anyways. When everyone felt that InuYasha had fallen asleep, did they decide to talk again.
"Kagome…" Sango started. Kagome looked up.
"Yeah?"
"What happened back there?" Kagome paused for a second, so Miroku decided to press on.
"Kagome, what happened?" Kagome's shoulders went slack as she put away the first aid kit, but decided to say it anyways.
---Flashback-----
What? I hear whining… and footsteps…Kagome slowly opened her eyes to find the puppy gone from her arms, and InuYasha gone as well. Fumed, Kagome decided to go out and see what InuYasha was up to. I am so going to sit him if he hurts the dog.
She walked into the forest, trailing behind InuYasha, but at a good distance so he couldn't sniff her. It was easy for being a good distance, since he runs so fast. The hard part was to not loose sight of him. When they finally arrived into the forest somewhere, Kagome watched from behind the tree.
"Oh shut your trap." InuYasha said as he dumped the dog onto the ground. It started barking, and InuYasha growled.
"I said shut up! What do you want with Kagome, you demon!" But the dog kept barking.
"Keh. So that's the way you want it, eh?" InuYasha said, and he pulled out Tetsusaiga. The dog started to whimper.
"Don't give me that! Hey! Don't run away! Wind Sc—." Kagome ran out from behind the tree.
"OSUWARI!"
---End Flashback-----
Sango and Miroku enchanged looks, as Kagome continued talking.
"And then, not long after, Koga came, and he thought it was a demon too. And then they were arguing, and then Sesshoumaru came… you should know what happens next." Kagome said. I think I should leave out the part of what InuYasha said, and the gruesome details. Miroku stared hard at the puppy, and Sango just blinked. Miroku was the first to speak up.
"Hey Shippo." Shippo turned around.
"Yeah, Miroku?"
"You have a sense of smell too, don't you?"
"What about it?"
"Is the dog a demon?" Miroku asked. Kagome sighed. Not you too…Shippo sniffed the dog a bit.
"It smells like one, but a little bit different." Shippo said. "I don't know if it's in a good way or not." Kagome sighed as Miroku turned back to Kagome.
"Three demons have agreed that the puppy's a demon. Are you sure it's not, Kagome?" Sango asked.
"It… I'm not sure anymore."
…………………………………………………………
My face… it feels so wet… God, the sun's too bright. And what is it with that wetness? InuYasha moved around a bit. Something's touching my face. And it has Kagome's smell on it. Is it Kagome? Is she kissing me? Holy… is she kissing me? InuYasha fidgeted a little bit more. Is that giggling I hear? That's Kagome's voice. Ahh… there's more wetness. Is she really kissing me? Should I be happy? Should I kiss back? Open my eyes? Weird… It smells like Kagome, and something else…InuYasha decided to open his eyes.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!
InuYasha sat up so quickly, the pain from his stomach didn't get to him until a little after. He winced at the pain as he wiped his face, trying to get it free from the puppy's saliva. Kagome was smiling, and giggled a bit as she picked up the dog. InuYasha glared hard at her, until she finally looked up.
"What?"
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD LET THAT FRICKING GODDAMN DOG LICK ME LIKE THAT!" The puppy whimpered in Kagome's arms, and Kagome blinked.
"Is that bad?" InuYasha grunted.
"Keh."
"That doesn't answer my question. Is that bad?" Kagome asked, a bit annoyed.
"Of course it is!"
"How?" InuYasha huffed. She doesn't get it. Licking the face is like kissing in dog language.
"Forget it. Just forget it." Kagome brought the dog in front of InuYasha's golden eyes.
"AHH. Get that albino crap away!" He yelled, lifting up his hand.
"Aww… but he wants to be your friend, InuYasha!" InuYasha grumbled something that Kagome couldn't hear. Kagome just sighed, and decided to get off the topic.
"So how's your wound?"
"Just fine." InuYasha replied bluntly.
"How about I fix it for you?" InuYasha looked down. The bandages from last night had dried blood all over it. Before he could respond, Kagome had already gotten the first aid kit and sat back down next to him, and the puppy tried to crawl up InuYasha's lap. He picked up the puppy and put it against his face.
"You are—." Is all he got to say before the dog licked his nose. InuYasha dropped the puppy and wiped his nose. God… its tongue smells like shit mixed with some weird food and Kagome. Wait… why does it smell like Kagome? Oh yeah… it always kisses her… InuYasha grumbled as Kagome finished up the new bandage.
"InuYasha?"
"What?" It came out harsher than he wanted, but he couldn't help it.
"Are you jealous of the dog?" That question caught InuYasha off guard.
"Of course not!" Kagome stared at him.
"What?"
"Are you sure?"
"Duh. Why would I be jealous of that stinking dog?"
"It stinks?" Kagome wondered.
"Of course it freakin' stinks! It stinks more than that Hoko guy." Kagome almost snickered.
"His name's Hojo. And if the dog stinks, I'll fix it."
"What do you mean, you'll fix it?" Kagome went to her backpack and came out with a towel, soap, and a brush.
"I'll give it a bath!" InuYasha gawked. No… she's going to give him a bath! A 'him'… and I have a feeling he's going to like it… InuYasha glowered at the puppy, and then at Kagome.
XD I'm sooo going to have fun writing the next chapter...
Next chapter: Bath Time!
It's the second day of the week, and InuYasha isn't really happy on Kagome giving the dog a bath. I wonder what will happen if InuYasha supervises...
Oh yeah... the dog needs a name, right? Want to name it? Review if you have a name!
So, I'll update soon...
