Chapter Four – Inuyasha!
"Ooof!" Inuyasha grunted as he landed face first into the dirt floor of the well. Instantly sounds of the future assaulted his ears, the smell of nature diluted due to the pollution of the future. He sighed out, slowly getting on all fours his left hand went to his neck, grasping it as it throbbed and ached. Puling his hand back, saw the blood that caked there. Another sigh escaped his dry lips, heaving himself up onto two legs, jumped the small distance out of the well. Falling once again to the floor, panted in pain. This isn't normal. He thought, one eye lidded as the other wide, confusion clear upon his features. My healing properties aren't normal, what's happening to me?
The half demon limped to the entrance, the ache in his back turning into agony, healing as if he were still a human. Looking out through the slits in the door, saw the mother walking around the house, a pile of clothes in her grasp, garments blowing in the soft breeze of morning light along strings tied to metal posts. "Hnngh.." He breathed, not wanting to bother the woman with her chores, looked for another to bother.
Seeing that none other was around, he opened the door softly, hoping to be discrete. Staggering across the short distance from the warehouse that held the well to the woman that mothered Kagome. Looking left and right, a face of sadness at bothering the woman, tapped her shoulder.
"Oh!" She breathed, turning around quickly "Inuyasha! You startled me, how are you dear?"
"Sorry to have frightened you." He mumbled under his breathe. "Che, I'm alright, where's Kagome?" Glancing left and right, saw no glimpse of the futuristic priestess, her scent wafted dilutedly through the air, but nothing stuck.
"She's at school, are you sure you're alright Inuyasha? Your clothes." She breathed turning toward the male staring at the clothes that barely clung to his frame.
"Oh, I uhh, fought a demon before coming here, he caught me off guard, it's nothing I can't handle, my clothes will fix themselves." He smirked a little.
"While they mend, why don't you wear something more, covering?" She smiled at him as she pointed to his lower body. Inuyasha glanced down, and blushed madly, one cloth was threatening to fall, unknown to the half demon, both falls in the well tattered his clothing a little more than predicted, catching on rocks and splinters of wood.
"I-If you wouldn't mind." He whispered as she nodded and grabbed a freshly washed linen cloth and draped it over his shoulders to shield his flesh from nature. "Come inside, Kagome's father has some clothes that should fit you." She smiled and led the boy inside the house.
Hours later, Kagome spoke with her friends about another one of her peers many gifts and wishes to get better. Her illness this time, kidney stones. Her peer, a boy named Hojo, gifted her with pain killers as well as a heating pad that he claimed, "Would help with the pain in your sides." She thanked the boy, and now was forced to listen to her friend's gush and blush about the male.
"Isn't Hojo just the best?"
"He's so dreamy and kind!"
"A hunk that cares~"
"You're so lucky to have the eyes of the most popular guy in school Kagome!" Her friends spoke all at the same time, their faces looking up in a dream like state, thinking and fantasizing how it would feel to be in Kagome's shoes.
A sigh escaped the young priestess' lips, her friends were way to cheerful, while she was stewing in her own depression and stress due to the upcoming test that was a third of her grade. "I- "She began, but was interrupted by a soft cough just to her left. Turning to the sound, saw something she thought she would never see. It was Inuyasha, he wore a saturated dark blue hoodie, the sleeves fading into black that was a bit longer than the young half demon's arms. The hood pulled over his dog ears, and hair spilling through the head hole, cascading down his front. The hood having cat ears on its hoodie, black jeans that were tight in all the right places, and traditional Japanese sandals. "Inu…yasha?" She asked staring at the male in front of her.
"Your mother asked me to come and give you money? For some groceries." He said, face lowered and shuffling through the pockets the pants provided. "Bloody thing-" He cursed under his breath trying to get the money out of his pocket without tearing it.
"I've got it Inuyasha, hang on." She breathed and stepped forward, slithering her hand into his right pocket and grasping the money that was within. A blush formed on Inuyasha's cheeks, his gaze then turned to the people she as with, her friends, he remembered them from the last time he visited the future. "Uhh." He breathed out, smiling awkwardly with a small nod in their direction.
"I guess we should go grocery shopping then! Bye girls!" Kagome smiled, grabbed Inuyasha by the sleeve and ran away with a staggering Inuyasha following behind.
"Ka-Kagome! Slow down!" He yelled which made her stop in her tracks a bit.
"Slow down? I'm not even running that fast." She frowned and looked at the male with worry. He was panting a bit, and they had only run a few blocks. He winced when he took another step that twinged his hips the wrong way. "Inuyasha, are you alright?"
He looked up at her with slightly wide eyes, "Che, of course I'm fine! I just had a run in with a demon before coming here, in my human form, I killed it."
She looked to him skeptically, but let it go. "Oh, sorry, is that why you're in my dad's old clothes?" She asked looking up and down his frame. Inuyasha nodded. "Your mother thought it would be a good idea until my clothes mended themselves."
"Hn, must have been some demon to catch you and the group off guard." Kagome mentioned under her breath, she turned and walked down the road with Inuyasha by her side. They went to the store, Inuyasha causing a scene at the motion detector doors, luckily Kagome's mother told him to keep Tessaiga at home, the pants he wore didn't have a sword holder, or any loop that the sword could fit through. He was a good help when it came to picking out different foods however, he smelled each one and picked the one that smelled the most fresh and healthy. He carried the bags on the way home, Kagome chatting about the test she was forced to study for, her friends that she hasn't seen in a while, as well as Hojo's many gifts.
"How are the others Inuyasha?"
"Hm? Good I guess. Sango and Miroku look bored," He smiled slightly down at the younger female, a small chuckle leaving his throat. "I can tell, it's nice for a short rest, but just that, short. I can tell their bored out of their minds. They can't wait for you to be back."
"Well, a short rest is always best. I will be returning soon; my main test is coming up here soon."
"Kagome, you… You shouldn't come back to the past until later."
"What?" She gasped, her foot touching down atop the last step of the giant hill to her house.
"Some things are happening back in the past, and it's not as safe as you think it is. It's, kind of why I'm here at the moment, I was too weak and needed the safety of your time."
"Oh, are the others alright?"
"Oh yeah, they can take anything, with Tessaiga not working on my human nights, I was kinda forced into the well. I just came out of it this morning because I kept going back, but they didn't need me."
Kagome looked to Inuyasha with a certain face one couldn't describe. She was worried, but skeptical at the information he provided. It was to sharing, he never shared this much information about anything, not to mention allowing someone else to battle for him, it wasn't Inuyasha. "Inuyasha." She began, Inuyasha looked to her with a look of 'huh?' "Sit!" She shouted and the male fell to the floor in an instant. A scream tore through his already sore throat, somewhat used to his face having contact with any type of floor. However, his hips ached in agony ever worse. "Oh, Inuyasha, I'm sorry! I thought-"
"You thought what?!"
"I thought you were a different demon!"
"I'm the only one who can go through the well you idiot!"
"Oh, oh yeah you are huh…" She breathed, looking at her love with renewed worry for his health. "Are you sure you're alright Inuyasha?" She crouched down to look at him better, he had saved the groceries from being squashed before he hit the floor, they on the other side of the male.
"I told ya- AAAAAHHHH!" He screamed again as she placed her hand on his lower back. It twinged and sent lightning bolts though his legs and back.
"Geez Inuyasha! What happened to you?" Kagome asked frantically, her hand retreating from his back as if the lightning running through his nerves sparked her.
"I'm fine!" He growled and threw his body up, taking the food in the house, leaving Kagome to her own devices.
Her devices didn't distract her for too long before he came in the house running her mouth in concern that Inuyasha didn't want anything to do with. "Kagome, just leave it." Inuyasha sighed, sitting on the couch with her grandfather, he watching some documentary on the t.v.
"I won't! You hurt yourself, you need something for it."
"Nothing in your time will help me, I'm a half demon, remember? Your human remedies won't phase me." He sighed again looking to the screen in more fascination, each time he came here to the future, the television set was one of his favorites, like a play you didn't have to pay for, that could change at the flick of a button.
"Will you at least use a heating pad?"
"A heating pad?" he mimicked like a parrot, "Yes, I'll set it up for you, it the thing I told you about, what Hojo gave to me, he said it would help with back pain." She smiled and plugged the light blue pad in the wall mount. The long white cord traveled along the floor, Inuyasha watched the girl with curiosity. "Alright, bend forward will you?"
"Like this?" He asked bending at the waist forward, his head going toward the coffee table in front of him.
"Just like that… Alright." She smiled, placing the pad against the couch, moving him back to where he was in position. "Now I turn it on." She smiled a little, attempting to be reassuring. She clicked the button to turn it on, it having four settings. The orange light turned the pad to a warm like state, it lasting for minutes, the second was the first heating setting, red, third was second, and fourth was third setting, all red, but each setting had different times until it automatically turned off.
"Oh." He breathed, looking to the girl. "It's getting warm." He breathed again, amazement in his voice.
"That's what it does." She smiled, watched him get comfortable on the couch, now laying down instead, situating the heating pad in a better location on his back. "Is it helping?"
"Mmmhm…" He sighed, eyes drooping as he slowly fell asleep, sleep had evaded him throughout the following weeks, and being protected in the future was giving off good vibes, in which he soaked up like a sponge, and fell asleep to the sounds of everyday life.
Kagome smiled, placing a thin blanket over the slumbering male.
"He seems exhausted." Her grandpa commented, looking at the half demon with pity in his eyes. "Guess so, he's never fallen asleep in front of people like this." Kagome sighed and started to help her mother cook dinner. Inuyasha slept the whole time, her brother, Sota, even snuck around Inuyasha as to not wake him before he was ready.
"Kagome, do you think we should wake Inuyasha so that he can eat? It has been a while since he's eaten, a growing boy needs his nutrients."
"Uhh, yeah sure I guess, I'll wake him up." Kagome smiled, setting the last dish on the table for her grandfather. She walked to the couch and looked down at the silver headed boy. She had checked up on his every hour to make sure the heating pad was still working, but helping her mother with the cooking had her gone for a bit longer than expected. Frowning, she noticed that he was panting, sweat ran down his temple, placing her hand on his forehead, checked his temperature. Frowning, turned the heating pad off as he was giving off a bit of heat, nothing to noticeable, and something Hojo had warned her about. Shaking his shoulder, a bit, woke the sluggish half demon.
"Hmm..?" He asked opening his eyes drowsily.
"Dinner's ready, are you wanting to eat?"
"Oh, yeah I guess. Thanks." He breathed sitting up, rubbing his hands against his sleepy face.
"Did you have a good nap Inuyasha?" Kagome's mother asked him once he sat down at the table next to Kagome. He finally figured out many things about the future, through his many visits. Unknown to Kagome, but he would sneak off to the future era many times in the morning while she was at school; talking with her grandfather, and mother.
"It was better than in my own world I won't lie." He smiled at the kind woman as she served him his dinner. The Higurashi family, plus Inuyasha, ate in relative silence. Kagome's mother asked her daughter about the upcoming test and how things were going. Kagome answered and Sota chimed in about his own scholar success. Inuyasha ate as much as his body would allow him to eat, which consisted of half the already small bowl of rice, half of one side of the cooked fish, and some picked vegetables. The miso soup lay untouched on the side, and his glass of water was refilled three times within the first ten minutes of eating. Kagome's grandfather watched the seemingly young male with keen eyes. With each of Inuyasha's visits, he grew found on the other, as Inuyasha would listen intently to his stories and ask for his advice on certain subjects.
Inuyasha wiped his hand against his forehead, sweat lined his skin. With the movement, Grandpa saw a string of green reaching up Inuyasha's neck. "Inuyasha." He began, getting said male's attention immediately.
"Hm?"
"What's wrong with your neck?"
"My neck?" Asked Inuyasha, his hand immediately going to the bite make Sesshomaru had left just the other day. "I don't-" He started, but stopped when he felt a pulse of pain, his finger barely touching the puncture wound. "Gah, faaaaah!" He breathed out deeply, breathing into the pain. "What the-" He spoke. Green pulsing light slowly crawled up his neck through his veins.
"Inuyasha, what happened?" Kagome asked, pulling his hood down all the way and stretched the collar of the shirt back to reveal the bite mark Sesshomaru inflicted. Kagome hissed, the punctures a dark purple, blood seeped from the holes, the flesh hissed and bubbled. The green veins spreading further down through his blood stream like a spider web. "Inuyasha, this looks bad. We should head back to the feudal era and ask for Kaede's help!" Kagome all but yelled worriedly.
"N-No!" Inuyasha retorted with panic. "I-I'll be fine! I don't NEED to go back."
"You won't be fine Inuyasha, you may be a half demon, but this looks serious!" Kagome gasped. Kagome's mother, in the middle of their yelling, grabbed a wash cloth and wet it down with cold water. "Here Kagome."
"Thanks mom." Kagome turned and took the dampened cloth, dabbing at the wound. "How did you get hurt on your neck anyways?"
"None-ya, that's how!" Inuyasha snapped, taking the cloth from her hands and applied pressure to the wound, wincing in the process. "Don't worry about it Kagome, it'll go away in a few days. Just study for your test, don't worry about me." He hissed to the girl. "I'll be going to my room, and I'm taking this with me." He grouched, after all the times he's been visiting the family, the mother decided to give him the extra room in the back. Complete with a fluffy bed, wardrobe with clothes that Kagome's father used to wear, as well as some clothes Kagome's mother had bought recently, and wanted to surprise her newest family member the next time he visited.
"Sleep well Inuyasha, we'll check in with you after a while." Kagome's mother spoke, a form of motherly familiarity laced in the words. He turned, looked at the woman he had come to see as a mother, and nodded his head. Taking the heating pad, he left the living space and walked toward the back of the house to the once guest room.
"I hope he'll be ok…"
A few days had passed, Kagome was done with her test, Inuyasha didn't come from his room once after the outburst a few nights ago. Everyone was worried, Kagome's mother was the only one allowed in the room, Grandpa being an occasional exception. Kagome was to worried about her love, that she had barely passed the test she had studied nights for.
It was Saturday night when Kagome's mother took her daughter outside, the farthest away from the half demons sensitive hearing. "Kagome, I need to talk to you." She breathed out, worry laced her words, and Kagome's heart began to ache.
"Yeah?" Kagome could barely breathe, it had to do with Inuyasha, he only let her mother in the room to care for him and get him things he needed. Kagome wasn't stupid, she saw what went into that room and what left it.
"I think you need to take him back home." Mrs. Higurashi sobbed. Kagome's stomach dropped at the tears that glistened her mother's face.
"What's wrong with him mom?" Kagome's voice was but a whisper, but the woman heard her anyways and sobbed a bit more.
"Something's wrong, he needs to be seen by someone who can help him honey, I'm not a doctor, I'm not a nurse, I'm not even an herbal expert, sweetie, you need to convince him to go home."
"Have you been trying?" Kagome asked holding back her own tears that threatened to fall. She watched as her mother nodded, hand going to her eyes to wipe away some of the tears that spilled over her chin and fell to her awaiting bosom. "Don't worry mom, Inuyasha's strong! I'll take him home." She smiled and watched as her mother nodded. "You should see him, he needs to go home tonight."
Kagome nodded, entering the house she told her grandpa that his daughter was crying outside. He got up immediately and went to her side, Kagome didn't need to worry about her younger brother for he stayed at a friend's house that night, a request from their mother that he needed to have some fun while he was still young.
Inhaling deeply, Kagome expected the worse as she opened the door to Inuyasha's room, her mouth fell open, the damn that kept her tears at bay burst as tears cascaded down her cheeks like water falls, she whispered in pain, "Inuyasha!"
Author: Oh my! So many reviews so quickly! It fills my heart with joy I can't even! I was so pumped by all the nice words I got inspired to write this chapter! I hope you all like it, hopefully it isn't as rushed as I feel it is.
Thank you to those who read and reviewed my story, here are the new reviews:
Sachiko Harada: -Finishes reading chapter- That's one way to wake the brain up at first light. Great chapter! I feel bad for Inuyasha. Kagome should be able to soothe his pain. Speaking of Kagome I wonder how she'll take the news that Inuyasha is mated to his brother and going to have his pups. Probably not too well. Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author: It is indeed lol. And well, I'm not sure how I want her to react just yet, but I believe you'll find out next chapter :3
sherryfanfic1999: OMG! Sesshomaru swearing is sooo sexy! He had me rolling when he tells Inuyasha his 3 step program! 1)fuck you senseless 2)mate with fucked senseless you 3)I'm bad-ass and no one can stop me*evil laugh here* from fucking you, my mate, senseless...again, and AGAIN, FOREVER! putting it like that makes Sesshy sound evil!? But in the end, Sesshomaru showed he cared something for Inuyasha, right? Was he just being a jerk because he didn't know how else to ask Inuyasha to be his mate? Poor Inuyasha, he gonna have to come back sooner then later. Sesshomaru poisoned him didn't he? He is the only one who can fix that. And he might be carrying pups already. On the other hand, now Sesshomaru HAS to be family to Inuyasha now. Inuyasha is getting what he wants for the rest of his life! Bad Sesshy. *secretly happy though* Your sex scene was alright. I didn't think anything was wrong with it, considering what was going on. Not to mention, Inuyasha went into shock because Sesshomaru was SO ENDOWED DOWN THERE. *squealing* Love this chapter. If you decide to change the sex part, I will still love it. It got the point across. So funny. I do look forward to many, many more chapters. I really love this fic!
Author: I adore it when those who wouldn't normally swear, swear! It's hooooott~~~
Mmmh, I'm not sure, in a sense he cared for the other, mainly to repopulate the clan, so he didn't want the human Inuyasha to die. I'm glad to hear the sex scene was alright, I won't change it any time soon, if it's fine the way it is I will more than likely keep it. But future sex scenes, I hope they will be to everyone's satisfaction.
HerNarcissistic: Lol, I agree. You try mounting the Sesshomaru in the anime and see if you don't get a hand through your stomach and filled with acid. But this is ff and people can write what they want.
Anyway. My gosh, that RAPE scene. I don't see how it was anything but. I will admit when Sess said he was going to fuck Yasha senseless and mate him my thighs might've melded together?
Ugh, I'm such a perv for these two. Lol. I'm sorry but it was hot as hell!
But what I don't understand is why Sesshomaru suddenly seemed all panicked at the end. Like dude, I'd wanna get away from your ass too after all that. Man. Can't wait to see how this plays out.
I'm glad you found pleasure in some of my stories. Hopefully as much as I'm enjoying this.
Author: Oh boy, if I'm a demon or half demon in the anime, I hope he runs a hand through me! For some reason I find it sexy :/ A lot of people are hardcore perv for those two, they are the second most wrote about characters, after the of course, InuyashaxKagome, I don't read those type of stories, I'm not a fan.
Sadly you won't find out until next chapter why Sesshomaru was all panicky, and yes of course, I can't wait for Itami to update~!
Guest: What about that j***? Sesshomaru better not hurt him. Ugh. He's way too hard on the hanyou
Author: Well, of course he's hard on him, if you've read the manga or watched the anime, he's hard on Inuyasha because he's a hanyou. He's a disgrace to the full blooded family line. It's how Sesshomaru's character was formed, he hates his younger brother, you don't go gentle on someone you basically loathe.
Guest: Oooh, the suspense!
Author: Yes! I hate reading suspenseful fanfiction, but I do enjoy writing it!
Guest: Yikes. That was much than I expected
Author: I apologize?
Guest: I enjoyed this chapter way too much considering the context and reason…Wonder what Sesshomaru was so concerned and frantically about as he tried to chase after Inuyasha… The main was already done.
Author: Yes well, another chapter is over and you will find the reason within the next chapter! Probably 😉
Guest: intrigues:Like where this is going, hope there is more.
Author: But of course there is more! I have been thinking through this story every night, and I can't wait to get to the part I dream about. I hope it will be good for you readers :3
Guest: Melo:Great chapter waiting for more
Author: Well, wait no more! Here is the third chapter.
