What the Deaf Mute heard

Chapter five: from one fight to another

Before I begin, I have to say something. I AM SOOOOOO SORRY ABOUT NOT UPDATING!! I assure you that that will be the LAST time it will ever take that long. I swear! I even made this one longer than usual, so will you forgive me? I was moving and it took FOREVER for me to get everything set up. And all you people that think they have it all figured out, I just wanted to say that being a hanyou is not what is Inuyasha's curse. Now, since you've survived my babbling, let's get started on the fic!

Kouga looked up from the cement. He quickly jumped out of the way from the large claws getting closer and closer to his head. This dude was strong! At first, this fight had been going his way, but after the first five minutes, he had become even stronger-and now he didn't even flinch at Kouga's attacks.

"You freak..." Kouga said under his breath.

"Kill...must kill..." he said again.

"What a vocabulary..."

Kouga took his chance and gave him a hard kick to his head. Inu dodged it easily, and the only thing Kouga hit was his ball cap on his head. Kouga stared. Beneath the cap that he always wore, Inuyasha had two white ears sticking out of his head. They were pointy, but too small to be cat-ears. They looked more like the ears of a dog like a west highland terrier. (Those are so cute!) Inuyasha saw how his opponent was so distracted and stabbed him in the stomach with his claws. Kouga quickly got back to his senses and tried to give another hard kick to the head. Inuyasha didn't move out of the way this time. He reached out and grabbed Kouga's ankle. He dug his claws deep into his leg-making his bones snap. He then slammed Kouga down onto his back. Inuyasha threw Kouga down so hard that he made a crater. When he tried to get up, Kouga made another discovery. The drop had made him dislocate his shoulder. He was stuck and Inuyasha was well aware of this. A large grin spread across Inuyasha's face.

"It's over." he said.

He jumped forward about to plunge his talons into Kouga's heart.

(Gomei nesai. I stink when it comes to writing fight scenes. ;; )

Meanwhile, Kagome had gone all the way to the next month in Inuyasha's sketchbook. It was actually pretty entertaining. She had learned a lot about the people at school, and what Inuyasha was thinking-which was a whole lot. And every time she would see a drawing, it always looks perfect. Even though they were probably never going to be shown to anyone, he worked very hard on them. Each one looked like they took at least an hour to make. But thing that puzzled her most was how could he understand so much if he's deaf? (And sorry about the Ayame lines in the last chappie. I couldn't think of anything.)

Kagome looked over at the next page. On it showed a picture of a man. He was holding a large blade, which was rested on his shoulder. He kind of looked like Inuyasha, only he had a pretty face, what looked like scars on his temples, and he had a crescent moon on his forehead. He had a face that looked like he never smiled in his life, and he had a cold look in his eyes.

"Wow. His drawings look so real!" Kagome said to herself as she turned the page.

October 4: Sesshoumaru lost it again. He was having trouble controlling his share of the curse and I was the one who paid for it. But this time was worse than usual because he finally got that new sword back from the old guy that used to work for father. He is becoming stronger every day! You hear about how some brothers will beat younger siblings up-but they never try to kill you. They never beat you until you are barely alive. But Sesshoumaru's not like other brothers is he? Plus, I'm not really used to working with tetsusaiga, since I only got it a year ago. Why did I have to get stuck living with him when the old man died?

"His brother is trying to kill him?"

Kagome turned the page. This picture had obviously taken a very long time to make, much longer than the others. It was even colored! At the top it showed the side view of a beautiful young woman. She couldn't have been older than 18. She had long, black hair and blue eyes that matched the blue designs on her white dress. But the most noticeable thing was that there were white, feathery wings growing out of her back. She was goddess! Below her was a picture of what looked like the back of some shrine. Not Kagome's-but she had been in enough to know. In front of the shrine were a mother and her child. The Mother had really long, black hair and was wearing a light pink kimono with dark pink carnations on it. She had a beautiful face, but for some reason, she was crying. You couldn't see the child really well, for the mother was partly in the way. The only thing you could see is his bright red clothing and long white hair. Kagome pulled her eyes off the pair and saw that there was something written along the sides.

"Upon your own sword, your love shall die."

Kouga clamped his eyes shut and waited for the attack. Nothing happened. He opened one eye to see why he wasn't made into Kouga sushi. Inuyasha's claws were just in front of him, and they were quickly getting shorter. He looked over and saw that his red eyes were beginning to get back to normal, they first became white and then his navy eye color turned back to gold. The stripes were now gone and his teeth were still long, but not as long as before.

"Stupid...human blood..." Inuyasha said weakly. "I was so close."

He lost consciousness and fell forward. Kouga used his good arm to push Inuyasha off him.

"He's a hanyou." Kouga said to himself. With great struggle, Kouga sat himself up. He couldn't stand on one of his feet-Inuyasha's grip had broken it. That meant that it would take a looooong time to get home. He looked over at the Young man who was now unconscious.

"I knew there was something different about you." Kouga said quietly, "we're the same." and with that, he pulled his arm into place and pulled out a cell phone.

"Ginta-kun, can you give me a ride?"

Kagome quickly turned the page to see what was so special about that day, which Inuyasha would work so hard on this picture.

October 5: today is the anniversary of mom's death, and as usual, I was the only one who was sad. "It's her own fault." Sesshoumaru would always say. "She knew about the curse and she still didn't leave. It's her own fault they're both dead."

Kagome stopped. 'His parents are dead because of a curse?' she turned back to the picture. 'And he also said that his brother was under one too. That means that if his mom and dad died from this curse, that means that Inuyasha and his brother will-"

"SAVE ME KAMI-SAMA!!! MY END IS NEAR!!! AT LEAST LET ME GET TO MY HOUSE BEFORE I DIE!!!" ;;

"Miroku-san?" Kagome put down the book on the page that she was on, and went to her window. Sure enough, there was her friend, using a monk's staff as a walking stick. He fell to the ground his face flat against the cement.

"Why?" Kagome heard him say with a sob.

She quickly ran downstairs to get help from her mom.

Meanwhile, a sleek figure had flown in through the window.

"Just as I thought."

"Sesshoumaru-sama, what are we doing here?"

Sesshoumaru put two fingers on Rin's mouth quieting her. He quickly scanned the room and saw a certain sketchbook lying on a desk. He walked over and saw the picture on the top.

"How touching." Sesshoumaru said coldly.

"Sesshoumaru-sama? Who is that?" she pointed to the two people on the bottom of the picture.

"A half-breed and his nigen mother." Sesshoumaru answered trying to hold in his anger.

"Huh? Half breed?"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Miroku-san! Are you alright?!" Kagome asked running toward her new friend. He was covered with bruises and he also had a chipped tooth.

"Oh kagome! I didn't know that this was your house!" Miroku said relieved. "Kouga had beaten me so much I was worried that I wouldn't live much longer! "

"I noticed." She put his arm around her shoulder and they started to the shrine. "Mom's got a nurse's license and she can help a lot."

"Arigato Kagome-sama."

"Someone's coming." Sesshoumaru said. He picked up Rin and the sketchbook and jumped out the window. Kagome ran in.

"I knew I left those bandages somewhere..." she searched and saw that they were still on her bedside table. She grabbed them and started off-but when she passed her desk, she saw that the sketchbook was missing.

"Wha..."

"ARRRGHH!!! WHAT IS THAT, GASOLONE???"

"CLAM DOWN MIROKU, ITS RUBBING ALCAHOL!!!"

Kagome ran back downstairs.

"I'm back." Inuyasha said weakly as he slid the door open.

"It's about time. It's only 9:43." Sesshoumaru said putting down his rice. "What did you do?"

"I don't know." Inuyasha said. He flopped into a chair and he almost fell asleep. 'Why am I so exhausted?' he thought to himself.

"Then why don't I ask a simpler question." Sesshoumaru said looking over at his brother. "What happened to your shirt?"

Inuyasha sat up. "I don't know."

"And how did your wound heal so quickly?" Sesshoumaru pointed to his brother's shoulder which he had just fried earlier that day, and was now perfectly fine.

"I...uh..."

"You don't know." Sesshoumaru finished. "You are so pathetic. You obviously lost control of your emotions again. You stupid half-breed."

"Don't call me stupid!!!"

"Then stop acting stupid, stupid."

Another fight was about to begin. But just then, one of their servants, Jaken, ran in.

"Lord Sesshoumaru! The human-"

Sesshoumaru grabbed his throat. "I told you not to speak of her." he said choking Jaken.

"Milord...gomei.... she's just...driving me nuts...she won't listen to anyone but you...onigai...stop..."

Sesshoumaru threw him down. "Leave. I'll be up soon."

Jaken bowed and left.

"Now who's got problems?" Inuyasha said.

"She's a child you idiot." Sesshoumaru said. "I'm taking care of her."

"You're taking care of her?" Inuyasha repeated.

"Hani."

"Why? You planning on being her lover when she grows up?"

"..."

"OH MY GOD!!! I GUESSED RIGHT?!? YOU SICK PERVERT!!!"

"Actually I was too amazed by your stupidity to say anything." (Another fruits basket line! ) Sesshoumaru got up and left his empty plates for Jaken. "Did anyone see you?"

"Um..."

"Please don't say you don't know."

"I know not?"

Inuyasha was suddenly lifted into the air by his throat.

"All I remember is looking for my book when I saw Kouga and then I woke up out in front of the gate with my shirt in shreds!!" he said trying to pull Sesshoumaru off his throat.

Enraged, Sesshoumaru threw Inuyasha into the wall. "You fool!!"

Inuyasha struggled when he tried to get up. "What's your beef now?!"

"You are truly an idiot." Sesshoumaru said heading towards the door. "Now another person knows our secret."

"Another?"

Sesshoumaru pulled something out of his sleeve and threw it at his brother. It was the sketchbook.

"That girl had it. She was reading it." He said. A small smirk grew on Sesshoumaru's face. "Too bad you're too weak to fight anyone Inuyasha. You won't be able to save your friends now." he opened the door and disappeared into the night.

[I could end it here, but since I haven't updated in a while...]

Inuyasha with great strain pulled himself across town.

"I...I have to help...I don't...want anyone to...to get killed." Inuyasha said to himself. His muscles were in great pain and he felt like meat that's been through the food processor. Which was pretty weird because he had no wounds on him. Nothing! Millions of questions ran through his mind. Why did Sesshoumaru want to kill Kagome so bad? It was like he was looking for a chance to kill her! Inuyasha shook that idea out of his head.

'No...He may be a jerk, but he's not so cold-hearted to kill for fun.... right?' he thought to himself. A memory appeared into his head of when he was just a kid.

Inuyasha was holding tightly to his father who was covered in blood. The blood of his mother.

"Inuyasha...I'm sorry." he said holding his son. "I didn't mean to..."

"Yes you did." a cold voice said from behind the small hanyou. There stood a woman with long black hair and blue eyes. Her blue-and-white clothes were singed and torn and looked like she had just gone through a fire. She was holding a set of arrows.

"You know you did. You killed her on purpose. Anyone could see it was not an accident." she said drawing a bow. "Because of you, the rest of her days will be spent in misery."

Inutaishou slowly fell to his knees and lowered his head.

"Gomei nesai." he said quietly.

A smile grew on the woman's face. "Don't feel so bad. You'll soon be joining her...in hell!" she let go of the arrow and it was quickly approaching the two-leaving a stream of fire trailing behind it.

"INUYASHA! LOOK OUT!!"

Suddenly, a pair of arms wrapped around Inuyasha's waist and pulled him out of the way. Inutaishou didn't move.

Inuyasha looked up at the one who rescued him. It was his twelve-year-old brother, Sesshoumaru.

"Why do you look so shocked?" he said smiling, "what else are older brothers for?"

"T...take care of him Sesshoumaru." Inutaishou said weakly.

The two boys quickly turned to their father who had a flaming arrow in his chest.

"Father!" Inuyasha cried jumping up. Sesshoumaru held him back.

And with that Inutaishou burst into flame and disappeared.

''That's the day that he lost his heart." Inuyasha said to himself. Just then, a loud snap of a whip broke him from his thoughts.

"You will never trouble this family again. I will not leave until you are dead!" Sesshoumaru's cold voice shouted.

Inuyasha quickly ran to the gate. Locked. He jumped over and ran to the house in the center of the shrine.

"SESSHOUMARU!!"

"Here comes your hero. Trying to rescue you. You stupid human." He was on top of the roof holding the girl by her throat.

"Let me go!!" Kagome shouted trying to break free from Sesshoumaru's grip.

'What the heck is he doing?!?' Inuyasha asked himself, 'what's going on with him?!' Inuyasha opened his mouth to shout, when his eyes ran towards Kagome. She was awake, and if he spoke, it would be even worse. There was a chance that she didn't read the part about the curse, and if he blew it now...

"Why are you so quiet little brother?" Sesshoumaru said tightening his grip, "You're not afraid, are you Inuyasha?"

'Curse him...'

'Inuyasha?' Kagome thought looking down to the ground.

"Very well." Sesshoumaru let go of her and she was sent flying toward the ground.

"KAGOME!!" Inuyasha ran and used the last of his strength to jump and catch her.

"You ok?" he said putting her down on her feet.

"Um... I think s-"

Sesshoumaru glowered. He threw down his katana and got a direct hit-right, through Kagome's heart.

And this is where I will end this chapter. Runs from the many, many, angry fic readers throwing rotten veggibles I know you're probably thinking I'm a Kikyo/Inuyasha fan, but I'm not. (actually I hate those fics.) Just wait until the next chapter before I begin to get flame, ok? And, I will update ASAP!! please review!!

Bye bye!

And quit with the veggie throwing!!
