He is so crude, and angry at everything. He always had some snide remark, no matter what, whether it be comparing himself to us "weak humans" or complaining that we weren't moving fast enough. We were following yet another rumor for a jewel shard, "Why the fuck are you asking to stop already? It ain't even dark yet!" I am actually in relatively good shape even though walking for miles is pretty exhausting. How do I explain to him that my period is coming and I'm having terrible cramps? I just need to sit and rest. I can't tell him I'm sick, he'll know I'm lying.
We had barely gotten anywhere and the lazy human wanted to stop again, we had just stopped a few hours ago, it may have only been a few minutes so she could relieve herself, but it was still a break. Why can't she realize the sooner we get the jewel completed the sooner we can get rid of one another? "Why the fuck are you asking to stop already? It ain't even dark yet!" It comes out a little gruffer than I intended, but still we don't have time to waste. I step a bit closer, and her scent seems off. Damn idiot is probably getting sick! Such pathetic weak humans.
"I'm sorry, Inuyasha. I just need to sit for a little while. We can walk some more after eating, if that's alright." He of course rolls his eyes and proceeds to stomp off to gather wood for the fire. I sit down to get the pot out of my bag, but the jarring movement plopping on the ground instantly brings tears to my eyes. I swallow through the pain and pour half a bottle of water into the pot for boiling water for ramen. I know I can't possibly eat, I feel like I'm gonna be sick. When he returns I've already wiped the tears to try to eliminate any proof of me being a "weak ass human", but his nose is too good.
Her voice is more subdued, normally if she was just tired she would be yelling or worse 'osuwari'ing me. It seems something is wrong, I'd better get some firewood and we'll make camp. Maybe a hot meal and a good night's sleep is all she needs. We can't afford to waste time because she's gotten her weak ass sick again. I get back and all I can smell is the salt from her tears, 'What the hell happened I was only gone 3 minutes!' "Wench why the fuck are you crying, dammit?! It's not like I didn't stop, you got your way didn't you?" Yeah, that's not what I meant to say.
His voice is sharp and irritable, and I just take a deep breath while he lights the firewood he has collected. I carefully place the pot on the flame. "Dumbass that's not enough water for the both of us, where the fuck is that canteen thing?" I just shake my head gently, "I'm not really hungry tonight Inuyasha. You go ahead and eat. I think I'm just gonna rest. Wake me when you're done and we'll walk for a while more." He lets out a soft "keh" as I lie down and wrap my arms around my midsection. It's funny my mom always told me exercise was good for menstrual cramps but it seems this month is just out of the realm of being helped.
I wait until her breathing slows then grab that travel futon blanket thing and set it up for her. I gently pick her up to set her inside, she's not running a fever from what I can tell but something about her scent is definitely off. She snuggles against me in her sleep and I don't have a clue what to do. She's definitely in pain, I can see, even in her sleep, she's wincing in pain. I hold her for a minute or so and rub her back in soft gentle movements like my mom used to do for me. 'When the fuck did I become this softie?' I can't help but whisper out "pathetic human". But I can hear something strange in the words. It's not the typical derisiveness, that comes when I am irritated with the way humans are so weak and feeble, it has a certain hint of something I can't quite put my finger on.
I fall asleep on the cold ground hoping the coolness will numb me like an ice pack, but I soon feel an intense heat like a heating pad and I can't help but pull myself towards it. Then the movement hits and even in my sleep I can feel myself wince. But even though I'm moving there's something comforting about it, whether it's the absolute feeling of safety and protection, or the soft heat that is wrapping me up like a blanket. Then I hear Inuyasha and I can't tell how close he is, but his voice is soft and almost sounds caring, even if the words seem to contradict that, "pathetic human". Then I feel a warm hand rubbing my back gently and I fall into a deep sleep.
I feel her body finally relax completely and I set her on the futon and cover her up. I go back and finish my now cold ramen noodles. Damn wench, made me ruin my ramen. Oh who am I kidding, you can't ruin ramen. Hopefully she'll feel better in the morning.
