A Slice Of You , To Go
~ Chapter Eight ~
My Days In Hell
By Inuyashas Youkai
Waking up in a cold sweat , shaking , with her body abruptly forced in ramrod straight position sitting on the bed . Unfortunately the action , also woke up the one laying next to her Isu , and kicked his instincts into overdrive, as he immediately went to her side .
"Kayame ! Whats' wrong ? "
"Relax it was just a bad dream , I am sorry I woke you .."
"Fuck ! Don't do that to me ! You almost gave me a heart attack .. I thought something was wrong .."
'Come on , lets go back to bed .. I am here Kayame .. Nothings gonna hurt you .." Isu soothed while rubbing her back , and laid his head against hers..
"Hey sweetie , your burning up .. Are you sure your okay ?" Isu asked concerned.
"I know I feel it ..I am fine " Kayame panted ..
"Why done't you lay down okay , and I 'll get a wash cloth or something to get that fever away .. We can't run around with you sick now can we?"
" Okay ..." Kayame replied shakenly, as she saw Isu leave the room towards the bathroom to retrive a hot washcloth from the shelf , and return with it in his hands.
"Alright ... I am back ..Do you want me to get you something ...?" Isu question worriedly as he laid the wet cloth upon her forehead ..
" No as long as you keep doing that , I want you too stay here with me..." Kayame whispered back
"Okay down you go .." Isu leaned her back against him while wrapping his arms around her protectively , and running his claws through her hair until she finally fell asleep..
The next morning , Kayame seemed to only have gotten worse , even though he managed to get her fever somewhat manageable for now, she still felt warm to the touch , and her paled skin was clammy. Isu had went to the corner market and nearly bought everything off the shelfs that could help him, as he started to become scared , as to what was wrong with her. When he returned with all eight bags of medicines, teas , soups , herbal rememedies, and ramen for himself , Isu found her in the bathroom leaning against the tile floor after it seemed that she had emptied her stomach of all its contents .
"Kayame ? You okay ?"
"Isu .. I don't feel so well.." Kayame croaked , as she sobbed with her very sorry puppy dog eyes looking at him ..
"I see that .. Come on let's get you back to bed .. Sorry I wasn't here when you woke ..I went to the store seeing as you are not getting any better.." Isu said into her locks within the crook of her neck as he carried her back to the bed.
Once he had her back on the bed , Isu started tearing through the bags , and making her some tea , some soup with crackers in the microwave , and then after she started eating he readied her medicine for when she was through. The moment she began to feel weakened that she could no longer hold up her head , Isu grabbed the food ,placing them on the bedside table and propped up pillows behind her head then gave her the medicine to take afterward.
While she slept almost like she was in a coma , with her breaths so labored it was something that she was able to produce any sound from it . It was concerning as he was forced to simply watch the girl falling weaker , and weaker as the days passed, but nothing he did seemed to be doing any bit of good. It only seemed to frustrate him more , and it was only on the third day that he observed something , and it after spent almost three days worrying about her that it was a relief that she could still do something other than sleep.
It was a flicker of her aura mixed with that , he mused to be Miko powers spouting off together, before dying of just as quickly..
"Kayame .. Wake up for me ?" Isu demanded louder than he intended.
" What is it ?" Kayame answered horsely.
"Can you tell me when you first felt , you know with your miko powers ?"
"Oh I don't know why ?"
"Just answer me .. I wanna help you but nothing is working , and your only getting worse .."
"Still I don't see how that has anything to do with it ? I am just sick , it happens to everyone .. Please just let me sleep Isu ..." Kayame begged..
" Look answer that , and I'll let you sleep .. Okay I promise ..I just want to help you okay ?"
"Fine ! I guess the first time I felt it would be when you first came to the club .."
"Kayame why didn't you tell me this .. Fuck ! I don't know why I didn't think of
this !"
"What are you rambling on about ?"
" Wait ... Um .. I know this is silly but ..Not to get nosy or anything , but do you have any ... well demon in you at all ?" Isu muttered..
Without answering , but still doing so just to get the man to shut up so she could go back to sleep, Kayame then took off the ring of her wedding finger , and unveiled what was conceiled there , and chuckling towards the very feminine gasp that came from the persistant male in the room. In that second the ring was removed Kayame had changed her hair now had silver streaks in it ears laid out lazily upon her head of the same color, human fingernails traded in for claws, and normal incisors exchanged for the fangs she now sported ..
"There ya happy !" Kayame teased knowing the shocked he had , and without looking at him she could even see his eyes bulging wide , with his mouth agape..
"Your a hanyou ?"
"Let's not go through this again , and state the obvious , bonehead !"
"How ?" Isu sputtered
"The way everyone else is brought to the world ..I was born this way !"
"Listen Kayame .. I want to try something , but you have to trust me that I am not trying to hurt you ?"
"Why would you do it then , if you think it would ..?Damn sometimes you are so frustrating !"
"Likewise , but no if I am right it may help you , but I have to do it in order to see if it will!" Isu said while he moved to hold her on the bed.
"Will you let me sleep if you let me , and not like when you promised after I answered your questions before?"
"Yep !"
"Fine ! Do it ! Just know that if you don't I will kill you , especially if it hurts as much as like your eyes tell me it will.."
"Deal !"
" What do I have to do ..?"
"Just hold still , and let me move you, relax.."
Isu moved her so that she laid with her back up against his chest , and so that the side of her neck was easily accessible , feeling her further relax into him, the man then removed his concealment , allowing the bloody eyes to reveal themselves, then with his hands cradling her head his soon lowered to kiss the base of her neck where the mark was etched into her soft skin, latching on with his fangs, biting down . Hard. Kayame screamed loudly , though muffled behind the pillow she grabbed to bite down on herself , and muttered of a slow painful death to the man regardless , once she was released...
