Chapter 5: Protect and Plunder! (Don't know much about the title, it's sounds good though!!)
The Next Morning…Sesshomaru's ears twitched. He could hear the whispers of voices through his sleep. "Isn't that the most adorable thing you've ever seen!?" One voice whispered hoarsely. The other voice giggled. Sesshomaru's eyes shot open and staring down at him were Kagome and Sango.
"What is the matter with you two!?" He said angrily.
"Sorry Sesshomaru, you and Rin and Inuyasha just look sooo adorable like that! I just gotta take a picture!" Kagome squealed.
"Huh?" Sesshomaru looked at Rin that was snuggled very close to him with her hands rapped around him and one of his hands rapped around her. Inuyasha was on the other side of him, curled up. He was clenching on to Sesshomaru's left arm like a teddy bear.
"Oh yeah, now I remember. Rin was having nightmares, so I calmed her." He explained, "She dreamed that wolf demons attacked her and killed her, then I revived her. From what she told me, that's how we both met."
Sango looked over at Kagome, who in return, looked back at Sango. "Wolf demons? Could Rin be talking about Koga?" Sango said worried. Sesshomaru made a mental note: 'Note to self: track down this 'Koga' demon and destroy him.' He started to sit up when he was pushed back down. "Hey, what was that for!?" He growled. Then, there was a flash of white light, leaving Sesshomaru seeing dots. "Sorry, but I wouldn't be able to get another picture of this as long as I live." Kagome smiled. (the picture comes along in a future chapter)
Rin stretched and opened her eyes. "Good morning everyone." She said tiredly. She sat up with Sesshomaru. Inuyasha stirred with all of the commotion, then opened his large, golden orbs. His eyes and his ears were the only thing that made him still look something like a demon. The black dye in both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's hair didn't wear off, although the cover up on Sesshomaru's face would have to be reapplied.
"Morning!" Inuyasha squealed, jumping to his feet. He gave Sesshomaru a hug. Then started to sniff the air. "I smell food!" He shrieked. Inuyasha ran past Kagome and Sango and ran down the stairs. (A/N: sorry, I didn't mention that Kagome's room was upstairs in the last chapter. Again, sorry!) The others soon followed.
Inuyasha barged into the kitchen to see what the smell was. Mrs. Higurashi was cooking bacon and eggs, along with some kind of breakfast roll, Souta was already eating breakfast, and Grandpa was reading the newspaper.
"Good morning Inuyasha!" Souta said
"Oh, good morning Inuyasha, I have breakfast ready if you want some?" Mrs. Higurashi handed Inuyasha a plate of food and Inuyasha started eating it greedily. "Does anyone else want some?" She said to Kagome and the others who followed Inuyasha in the kitchen.
"Thank you mama, but we really need to be getting back to the Feudal Era, Jaken and Keade are probably very worried about us." Kagome said.
"Alright, I won't stop you." Mrs. Higurashi smiled, sitting next to a gorging Inuyasha.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
After Inuyasha finished eating, he put on his freshly washed, red clothing. Kagome finished packing and then applied cover-up make-up to Sesshomaru's face and wrists to conceal his marks, and then she gave Inuyasha a red cap—that was a bit too big for him— to wear to hide his ears. He stubbornly threw it back so she had to force it on his little scull.
"Take care Kagome and please stay safe." Mrs. Higurashi hugged Kagome as they were standing next to the Bone Eaters Well. Souta was saying his goodbyes' to Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and Rin.
"So long you guys, it was a real pleasure to meet you all." Souta said, "Thanks Sesshomaru for helping me deal with Koji, I don't think he'll be bothering me any time soon." He laughed. "But, promise me you guys will come visit again soon." Sesshomaru didn't know what to say. 'When I turn back to normal, will I remember to visit Souta? Will I even remember him?' Sesshomaru thought. He smiled and said: "If I ever have a chance, you know I will."
Kagome picked Inuyasha up and sat on the edge of the Well. "So long!" Kagome then jumped in the Well with Rin and Sesshomaru following behind, then Miroku, Sango, and Shippou after that.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
The Well's insides turned into a sparkling mass of colors then transformed back into the four small, dark brick walls. They crawled out of the Well and into a grassy meadow.
"It's good to be home." Miroku moaned, stretching. Sango nodded in agreement.
The group traveled to Keade's village. When they arrived, eyes were still staring as they entered the village, but they weren't stares of fear and alert, they were stares of adoration and admiration. Two middle-aged looking women walked over to them and asked: "We just had to come over and see these little joys," The first lady said, the other agreed. They both leaned to look at Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, and Rin. "Oh how adorable they look!" The second lady cried, examining Rin, then Inuyasha. The first lady pinched Sesshomaru's cheeks, which highly irritated him. "The boys eyes are so beautiful. Were they born like that?" She questioned.
"Yes, that's their natural eye color." Kagome told them.
"What's this strange head gear on the little one's head?" She asked again, attempting to touch the red cap on Inuyasha's head. Inuyasha ran behind Kagome and grabbed onto her leg timidly. "Don't be shy Inuyasha, they just want to say hello and compliment how handsome you are." Kagome said to Inuyasha. The two ladies smiled and started to whisper to each other.
"Such a caring mother." One told the other. Kagome shot her head up, blushing madly.
"What?! No! No, they're not my children, I'm way too young to have kids!"
"They're not yours? Then who's are they?" One of the ladies asked worried.
"Umm…they're umm…my…siblings! That's right, they're my younger siblings." Kagome said, taking all three of the kids in her arms and giving them a huge group hug. Sesshomaru shot her a look, and she nudged him to play along. Inuyasha on the other hand, was too young to know when someone lies so he believed her story and stared at her with his mouth open.
"SISTER!!!" Inuyasha squeezed Kagome tight.
"Uhh…yeah… right…sister…" Sesshomaru tried to sound at least a little enthusiastic.
"Oh how sweet!" Said the second lady, "Well, we should be going now. See you later, angels!" She waved at the kids and also Kagome.
"Whew! That was close!" Kagome wiped her forehead.
"Sister, huh?" Sesshomaru looked up at her with another 'look'.
"It was just a cover up, you know I'm not really your sister."
"WHAT!" Inuyasha shrieked, "But you said you were!"
"She was just lying Inuyasha, calm down." Sesshomaru told Inuyasha.
"Aaaawww." Inuyasha pouted.
Their little conversation was interrupted by the sound of shrieks.
"Lord Sesshomaru! My lord, you've returned and"- Jaken came running and stopped abruptly when he saw a human looking chibie Sesshomaru and Inuyasha.
"AAAAAHHH!!!! W-w-what have you d-done to them!?" Jaken pounced on Sesshomaru, tackling him to the ground.
"Lord Sesshomaru, y-your human!" He shrieked.
"I'm not human, now get off me!!" Sesshomaru growled. Jaken jumped off Sesshomaru and started scolding Kagome.
"Look here you witch! Whatever spell you put upon my lord, you'd better destroy it now!!"
"Look here you stupid toad, I'm not a witch and I don't appreciate being called one. Also, I have put make up on Sesshomaru and Inuyasha to hide their identities…hmph, more than you've ever done!!" Kagome stuck her tongue out at the toad demon.
"You insolent wench!" Jaken waved his staff in the air at Kagome. Just then, in a flash, his staff was jerked out of his hands, and in another quick motion, he was hit with the staff and was knocked to the ground unconscious. There behind him was Sesshomaru, holding the Staff of Two Heads in his hands.
"Damn, he's annoying. I had to shut him up somehow." Sesshomaru threw the staff on Jakens' unconscious body.
Keade walked up to them after hearing all of the commotion.
"My goodness! These young ones look human! What has happened to them?" Keade examined the two boys.
"I guess I'll have to tell this story to everyone over and over again." Kagome let out a deep sigh. "Oh well, can we go inside your hut for awhile? I need to talk to these two." She stared down at the innocent but devilish chibie brothers.
They went to Keade's hut and settled down, Miroku dragging Jakens' body along the ground behind him.
"Alright, first things first," Kagome started, "Sesshomaru. Inuyasha. Since you have to look human for a while, you have to act like one too. That means you can't use any of your powers unless immediate emergencies, Okay?"
"WHAT!? That's not fair! I love my powers!" Sesshomaru jumped to his feet.
"It's for your own protection and since I'm older than you, you will do as I say." Kagome said. 'Oh my god, I really am starting to act like a mother!' She thought.
"You have no such power over me woman!" He sneered. It was as if he was the old Sesshomaru, but with a child's voice.
"Don't back-sass me young man!" Kagome scolded. Sesshomaru looked surprised.
"I am insulted by this! Back-sassing you! Feh, I'll show you back-sass!" He growled.
Kagome's anger flared, but she tried to keep her cool. "Sesshomaru, you're setting a bad example for Inuyasha." Kagome said calmly.
"Feh! Like I give a damn!?!" Sesshomaru hissed.
"And about that cursing! You're just a kid! You don't need to say such foul words!" Kagome waved her index finger back and forth in Sesshomaru's face.
Sesshomaru slapped her hand away. "I'll say whatever I feel like!! Damn, hell, damn, hell!!"
Inuyasha laughed so hard, he was on his knees. Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Rin, Keade, and even Kirara and Jaken (who had woken up) was turning their heads to either Kagome or Sesshomaru when they would argue back in forth.
"Fine!! Then I guess you're going to the corner then!?" Kagome said.
Sesshomaru looked bewildered. "Corner? What do mean- Hey, hey! Let me go!! I said unhand me woman, NOW!!" Kagome took Sesshomaru by his arm and dragged to him to one of the corners of the hut. "As your temporary guardian, you're going to get a time-out. Now I want you to stand right here, facing the wall for 5 minuets. Understood?!"
Sesshomaru looked at her as if she grew two heads. "You're crazy!!"
"You need obedience!! Now stay right here!!" Kagome walked back to the others, who were too surprised to speak. Sesshomaru yelled back at her, but surprisingly followed her orders and stood there facing the corner of the hut. "I'll get you for this Kagome, I'll get you!!" Kagome turned around and gave him a death glare. "Do you want to extend your time!?!"
"Hmph!" Sesshomaru pouted, but didn't say another word.
"Oooooooohhh." Inuyasha taunted. Kagome turned her death glare on him. "Don't tease your brother Inuyasha or you'll end up just like him!!" Inuyasha coward behind Sango.
"Kagome, I really hope they don't remember anything while their kids. If they do, I don't even want to know what they'll do to you." Miroku said.
"Feh, probable worse than you think, monk! They'll probably torture her!" Jaken laughed
"You're damn right I will!!" Sesshomaru yelled from the corner.
"Sesshomaru!!" Kagome scolded. He made another 'hmph' sound and said nothing more.
Kagome took a deep sigh. "I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but, I'm starting to really miss the old stoic, hateful Sesshomaru, and the old stubborn and hardheaded Inuyasha." The others agreed, looking at Sesshomaru leaning against one of the walls next to the corner of the hut with an expressionless and bored look on his face, then at Inuyasha, who was chasing Shippou around for some unknown reason.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
A few minuets later…Inuyasha became restless and bored from chasing Shippou and started taunting Sesshomaru, who was still in time-out. Inuyasha put his fingers in his mouth and stretched his lips and stuck his tongue out, making annoying facial expressions. Sesshomaru pointed to himself, then ran his index finger across his throat and pointed at Inuyasha, as if saying 'I'm going to kill you'. Inuyasha put his thumb on his nose and wiggled his fingers while Sesshomaru was 58mouthing out death threats and shaking his fists. Everyone except Kagome noticed.
Finally, Sesshomaru had had enough. "Excuse me Kagome! I think my 5minuets are over, don't you think?"
"Hmm? Oh yeah! I forgot, umm, I guess it's been 5minuets, you're free to go Sesshomaru." Kagome said half-heartedly. Sesshomaru's left eye twitched. "You forgot that I was in your little punishment corner!?! Oooohhh, you bi"- He immediately stopped when Kagome's head turned in a flash and her eyes looked like they were glowing red. He didn't want to know what would happen if he finished the word.
"Hmph! Whatever…" Sesshomaru turned his gaze to Inuyasha and growled. "YOU!"
Inuyasha ran out of the hut screaming while Sesshomaru chased him. Shippou turned to Kagome. "Hey Kagome, can Rin and I go play outside with Inuyasha and Sesshomaru?" He asked.
"Uh, I don't think Sesshomaru was playing, but…okay, why not? Have fun!" Kagome said sweetly. Rin and Shippou ran out of the hut to follow the two dog-children.
Kagome sighed and just when she was about to speak, she felt a stinging and itching spot on the neck. She immediately smacked her neck and a flea landed on her palm.
"Greetings and salutations." Said Myoga.
"Myoga, I thought it was you. What are you doing here?" Kagome asked
Myoga straightened himself up and cleared his throat. "I have taken it upon myself to find out more information on the little situation we have and I have some very important information regarding this sorceress Naruta and more about the child-Sesshomaru."
"That's great! Thanks Myoga, you're the best!" Kagome said. "Yes, but their not exactly good news…" Myoga replied.
Everyone gathered around Myoga and Kagome as Myoga continued. "a few thousand years ago, Naruta was a very powerful sorceress that had taken control over lands of the North and South. The four Lords –the North, South, East, and West- had gotten together to defeat the sorceress Naruta. Along with her army, Naruta was overpowered by the four Lords and her soul was sent to the netherworld. That is until now that Naraku has resurrected her with one of the sacred jewel shards."
Everyone looked at each other with a look of worry. "But the good news is, now that she has been brought back to life, she is no longer as strong as she was back then, she is only half as strong as she was." Myoga said.
"Is there any way we can break the spell she has over Inuyasha and Sesshomaru?" Sango asked.
Myoga thought for a second. "Yes, surprisingly, there is." All eyes focused on Myoga as he talked. "If Naratu's soul is brought back to the netherworld –or if her life is ended- the spell will immediately be broken."
Kagome sighed. "Good news always has it's turn-arounds." She said frustratingly.
Meanwhile…The kids played along the river on the outskirts of the village. The chase between Sesshomaru and Inuyasha had developed into a game of tag. Shippou and Rin played along in the game.
"Okay! Okay! I give! Now please get off of me!" Inuyasha said as Sesshomaru sat on top of him.
"Say it." Sesshomaru taunted.
"No!" Inuyasha retorted.
"Say it!"
"No! You're so full of yourself!"
"Say it or I won't get off of you! I'll start tickling you!"
"Grrrrr…FINE!" Inuyasha huffed, then mumbled; "you're the greatest and almighty Prince…"
"What was that?" Sesshomaru taunted.
"I said you're the greatest and almighty Prince!"
"Good…now say all of it."
Inuyasha sighed. "My brother Sesshy is the greatest and almighty Prince that ever lived."
"Ha! Thank you." Sesshomaru said smug-like and jumped off Inuyasha.
"Don't let me tag you again or I'll tickle you until you say it"- Inuyasha interrupted Sesshomaru and body-slammed him onto the ground.
"Hey!" Sesshomaru said, "That's not fair!" But Inuyasha had a good hold on Sesshomaru.
"Ha-haaa! Now you have to say something good about me!" Inuyasha taunted back. Sesshomaru squirmed and struggled, but Inuyasha kept his hold on his brother.
"Jeez Inuyasha, How did you get so darn strong!?" Sesshomaru exclaimed as he kept struggling.
"Say something good about me!! Inuyasha taunted.
"Pfft! Yeah right! What's so good about you?" Sesshomaru smirked.
"Grrr…say something good or I'll tickle you!" Inuyasha growled
"You can try, but I'm not ticklish!" Sesshomaru retorted.
Inuyasha smirked. "You wanna' bet?"
Sesshomaru shot his attention at his brother and gave him stern look. "…You wouldn't!?"
Inuyasha gave him a wicked smile. "I would!!" Then, Inuyasha started tickling his brother with both hands on his stomach.
"Aaahhh! Stop it Inuyasha-hahahaha-I'll kill you, I swear-hahahaha-STOP INUYASHA!! Hahahaha-I can't breath!!" Sesshomaru screamed in between laughs. But Inuyasha didn't stop. He kept tickling the breath out of his brother.
"Hahahaha-stop Inuyasha! RIN, help me RIN!! Sesshomaru screamed.
Rin and Shippou were still playing tag when they heard Sesshomaru's screams for help.
"That sounded like Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin exclaimed and both Shippou and Rin came running over to see what was happening.
When they got there, what they saw made them gasp in surprise. Inuyasha was on top of Sesshomaru, tickling him senseless while Sesshomaru was screaming death threats, warnings and Rin's name for help all between laughs and pants.
Rin broke out in a fit of laughter. Shippou just stood there in shock. "After all these times of seeing them kill each other…now, they're… tickling each other!" Memories of when the older Inuyasha and Sesshomaru would swing their swords at each other, exchange insults and remarks, and throw blasts of energy at each other flooded Shippou's mind.
"Shippou! Hey, Shippou!" Inuyasha called, startling Shippou out of his thoughts and memories.
"What is it Inuyasha?" He asked.
"Quick! Come and help me tickle Sesshy!!" Inuyasha yelled through Sesshomaru's screams.
"Eh, I don't think so!" Just thinking about Sesshomaru remembering his child-like stage was scary. And especially when Inuyasha was tickling him. "I don't think I would like to get my head lopped off." He whispered to himself.
As Inuyasha was about to yell out again, when Rin ran up and tackled him off of Sesshomaru.
"Gotcha!" Rin yelled. Sesshomaru remained on the ground, sprawled out and panting.
But none of the kids had yet noticed a spider demon (not Naraku) lurking in the forest, spying of them, just waiting to pounce.
Suddenly, Sesshomaru sat up and sniffed the air. "H-Hey guys…" He said to the others. Rin and Shippou were on top of Inuyasha, tickling him. They stopped when they saw Sesshomaru's serious expression and tone of voice.
"What is it Lord Sesshomaru? Is something the matter?" Rin said as she stood and walked toward him.
"I don't like what I'm smelling. It's a demon, and it's close by." Sesshomaru's eyes scanned the forest. Inuyasha and Shippou sniffed into the air. "I smell it too!" Shippou said. "Me too!" Inuyasha said.
Rin gulped. "We should have had Master Jaken or Kagome go along with us." She said nervously.
Sesshomaru looked at Rin. "Don't be scared Rin, It'll be alright." He said, trying to comfort her.
"Oh, on the contrary my dear child. I think you should be scared." The spider demon in the forest hissed.
"Show yourself you coward!!" Sesshomaru yelled into the forest. And just as he finished, the spider demon launched itself out of the darkness of the forest and landed in front of the children.
Rin screamed in fear and Inuyasha squealed like a little girl. "Eeeeeww!! It's a spider!!" And then he thought for a second. "Cool! Let's kill it! I wanna' see it's guts!!"
"Feh, you little brats think you're so tough?! Let's see how tough you are!" The spider hissed again.
Sesshomaru stepped in front of the others. "Go ahead and try! I'll rip off your legs and shove them down your throat!"
The spider demon chuckled. "Ha! Big talk for a whelp!" He slung a web at Sesshomaru, but Sesshomaru dodged and did a flip over the demon.
"Shippou! Get Rin and Inuyasha out of here and go find Kagome!" He yelled. Shippou nodded and tried to get Rin and Inuyasha to run away, but they wouldn't budge. "No, I can't leave Lord Sesshomaru! He might get hurt!" Rin cried.
Sesshomaru sent his whip of light out of his two fingers and started hitting the spider demon. 'I hope father's training pays off.' Sesshomaru thought.
"Why you little brat!" The spider hissed and shot another web at Sesshomaru, but he easily dodged it and ran over to where the others were.
"Rin, you have to go with Shippou, you might get hurt if you stay here." Sesshomaru said quickly.
"But Lord Sesshomaru! What about you?! You'll get hurt too!" Rin cried.
"That doesn't matter! You're a human; you can feel pain easier than I can…and…I promised to protect you and I wouldn't forgive myself if I broke that promise." He said.
Rin gasped at his words. "Go Rin, take Inuyasha and go. I can handle this weakling." He smirked.
Just then, the spider shot another web at Sesshomaru, Rin, Inuyasha, and Shippou. Sesshomaru pushed them out of the way the web caught him.
"Sesshy!" Inuyasha shrieked. The spider chuckled and dragged the web toward him until Sesshomaru was dangling by his feet.
"So," the demon said mockingly, "You still think I'm a weakling and a coward?"
"Feh! If you think that picking on little kids make you tough then you are pa-thetic!!" Sesshomaru smirked. 'If there's one thing father told me, it's that you should never show weakness or fear to your opponent.' Sesshomaru thought.
The spider demon hissed and growled at him. "Why you"- He suddenly stopped talking. After a few seconds of silence, he narrowed his eyes. "You don't smell like a human? Why is that? Is this some kind of trick to hide your real form? Well, you can't fool me!" The demon then threw Sesshomaru into the river.
"Lord Sesshomaru!!" Rin screamed. Inuyasha and Shippou stood and watched in shock.
Sesshomaru was thrown so hard; he touched the bottom of the river. He could see black swirls in the water and knew instantly that it was Kagome's 'potion' that she put in his hair to turn it different colors. 'Uh-oh' was his only thought before the spider demon dragged him out of the river by his feet.
The demon chuckled as Sesshomaru coughed out the water that almost filled his lungs. He saw the black ink dripping and running off and noticed the soft purple slashes and crescent moon on his face, and also noticed the amber eyes and pointed ears. The spider demon only chuckled more devilishly.
"It must be my lucky day. A dog-demon child! You must be one of the dog-demons my Lord Naraku told me about. Oh, I will have much fun with you, my little purebred."
Shippou and Rin gasped. "Naraku!" Shippou shrieked. "He must be another reincarnation of Naraku!!"
Inuyasha growled at the demon. "You let my brother go you ugly spider!!" He snarled, just then, glowing red blades formed as sickles rushed to the demon, chopping off one of the eight giant legs, which was the same leg that held Sesshomaru upside down.
Sesshomaru along with the leg fell to the ground. All eyes on Inuyasha, his hand raised above his head with a shocked expression on his little face.
"D-Did I just…" Inuyasha said in disbelief.
"Did he just…" Rin and Shippou said simultaneously
"Inu-Inuyasha! Did you just attack that demon…and save my life?" Sesshomaru said as if he was hypnotized.
"Umm…I don't know?" Inuyasha looked at his hand. His claws were glowing red. "I-I guess so."
"Hey, I know that move," Shippou said, "It was the 'Blades of Blood'."
Inuyasha sat there in silence. "……AWESOME!!" He screamed.
The spider demon kept hissing and screaming in pain. "How dare that little whelp! I'll devour you where you stand brat!!" He suddenly lunged after Inuyasha, Rin, and Shippou.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Kagome and the others were in the hut, listening to Myoga explain whom Naruta is.
"Wow, Naraku must have had the right idea about resurrecting Naruta." Miroku said.
Myoga nodded. "Indeed."
"Myoga, didn't you say you also had information regarding Sesshomaru's childhood?" Kagome asked.
"Oh yes, very important information on him and Inuyasha as well. It seems that Inuyasha is at the age where his attack moves start to develop. I was there to teach him how to control them and to practice them daily. His mother Izayoi was very anxious about her son practicing such attack moves. But it was mandatory for him to learn how to defend himself when Izayoi died."
"Wow, I never knew that." Sango said sadly.
Myoga continued. "As for Sesshomaru. It is very important for you to know that"- He was cut off as they heard someone scream form outside.
Everyone followed Miroku outside. A young village woman was running as fast as she could.
Miroku ran up to her, temporarily forgetting that she was young and beautiful and that he could easily grab her ass. "Excuse me young maiden, can you tell me why you are so distressed?" Miroku asked.
"A-a-a huge spider demon is attacking the outskirts of the village near the river!"
Everyone froze. They were expecting the worst. And the young woman's words only made their thoughts turn into reality. "Th-there were some kids playing by the river earlier! I think the demon got hold of them, so I ran to find help!"
Kagome started to swoon back and forth. "Oh-no! That's where the kids went off to play!!"
By that time, Jaken had already untied Ah-Un from the side of the hut and Kirara had already transformed. Sango wore her demon slayer outfit with her boomerang on her back and sat on Kirara's back.
"C'mon! We need to get to the children before it's too late!" Sango pulled Kagome on Kirara's back and they all took off toward the river.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Rin screamed as loud as she could. The spider demon was lunging after her, Inuyasha, and Shippou.
Sesshomaru ran as fast as he could. He unleashed his whip-of-light and whipped it at the demon. The sizzling sound of the whip hitting the demons body was loud and sickening. He let out a scream and backed away.
"Didn't I say to get out of here!?" Sesshomaru yelled at them. "Run to the village where its safe"- he was cut off as one of the spider's legs swung and slammed into Sesshomaru, sending him skidding across the ground.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin screamed. Inuyasha tried to run over to him, but Shippou stopped him.
The demon chuckled. "Aww, I guess the poor little mutt-child couldn't take it." He said mockingly as he watched Sesshomaru struggle to get up. "I-I'm not done with you yet!" Sesshomaru said weakly.
"Enough playing around, I'm starving! It's time to end this!" The demon lunged at Sesshomaru, getting ready to swallow him whole.
"Get away from him!!" Yelled a feminine voice. A sacred arrow soared through the air and tore off another one of the spider's legs, leaving him with only six legs. The spider demon let out a blood-curdling scream and jumped back.
"Kagome!!" Inuyasha screamed. Sango and Kagome jumped off Kirara and ran over to Inuyasha, Shippou, and Rin.
"Sesshy! Sesshy!" Inuyasha cried, jumping up and down.
Sango turned to Miroku. "Miroku! Distract the demon!"
Miroku unraveled the rosary from his hand. "Wind Tunnel!!" He yelled. Just as the demon was being sucked into Miroku's Wind Tunnel, Naraku's Poisonous Insects came from the forest behind the demon.
Miroku immediately stopped. "N-Naraku's Poisonous Insects!!"
Sango jumped back onto Kirara's back. "Naraku must be behind this! Come on Kirara!" Sango yelled and charged towards the demon.
Kagome ran to Sesshomaru, who was swooning back and forth on his legs. "Sesshomaru, are you alright?"
"Yeah, I think so. Where are Inuyasha and Rin?"
"Don't worry, they're safe with Jaken and Ah-Un. We need to get you out of here." Kagome said.
As Sango and Kirara charged, she swung her boomerang at the demon. He dodged it and shot a web at them, trapping them in mid-air and sending them falling to the ground.
"Oh-no! Sango!" Kagome shrieked. Miroku ran over to help them out of the web.
The demon turned toward Kagome. "Your next, miko."
Kagome pushed Sesshomaru behind her and drew her sacred arrow. "Stay back Sesshomaru!" She shot the arrow towards the demon, but with no luck, the demon dodged the arrow.
"What the!? How did he dodge my arrow!?" Kagome said flabbergasted. The demon laughed and slung another leg at them.
With as much strength as he had left, Sesshomaru whipped the demon with his whip-of-light. The spider was hit, but he didn't stop. Kagome panicked and pushed Sesshomaru to the ground so he wouldn't get hit.
The spider kicked Kagome with his leg, sending her flying back a good 6feet, landing next to Shippou, Rin, Inuyasha, Jaken, and Ah-Un.
"Kagome!" Rin shrieked and ran towards her, with Inuyasha and Shippou following. Thankfully Kagome was still conscious. "Run…run away." Kagome moaned.
"Perfect!" The demon laughed. "I'm going to enjoy devouring all of you!!"
Sesshomaru watched as the demon came closer and closer to them. Then something happened. A surge of power coursed through his blood. Such hatred and need to protect took over.
The demon was about to lunge when he felt a surge of energy behind him. Everyone turned their attention to Sesshomaru. Kagome gasped. His eyes were crimson, his lengthened and bared, and his soft purple slashes were now rigged and crimson.
"How dare you!" Sesshomaru growled, walking slowly toward the demon with winds of energy swirling around him. "How dare you, a mere insect, think that you can even try to hurt the one's I care about!!"
Kagome gasped. 'Did he just say what I think he said?' She thought.
The demon turned his attention to Sesshomaru. "So you want to fight me again, you little mongrel?"
The winds of energy around Sesshomaru strengthened and he started howling/screaming. His skin was stretching and growing white fur.
"He's transforming!" Kagome panicked.
"Kagome! Kagome!" Myoga jumped on Kagome shoulder. "This is what I've tried to tell you all! Sesshomaru is too young to control his true-formed self. If he fully transforms, then he will have no control over himself and probably go on a killing rampage! You have to stop him now!!" Myoga cried.
"But…how do I stop him!" Kagome asked.
Keade hurriedly walked up to Kagome. "Kagome, use the beads of Subjugation!"
"Are you crazy! I can't do that to Sesshomaru of all people!" Kagome exclaimed.
"No, wait Kagome! That just might work, but you need to hurry!" Myoga said.
"Oh man, if he ever turns back to normal, I'm soooo dead." Kagome muttered to herself, referring to how the older Sesshomaru would react if he knew he had to yield to 'sit' commands.
Keade shot the sacred arrow at Sesshomaru and it formed a necklace that looks exactly like Inuyasha's around his neck.
"Quick Kagome! Say a command!" Keade exclaimed.
Kagome thought. 'What to do, what to do! I can't say 'sit' then he and Inuyasha will have the same word!! Ugh, think Kagome, think/gasps/ I got it!!'
Kagome ran up to Sesshomaru, or close enough to where she could scream the command.
"STAY!!"
The beads around Sesshomaru's neck glowed, and then sent him crashing to the ground. The energy around Sesshomaru disappeared and everything calmed.
"Oh my Gods! I hope I didn't hurt him too bad!!" Kagome panicked and ran towards Sesshomaru.
Kagome kneeled down next to Sesshomaru body and took him into her arms. "Sesshomaru, are you alright? I'm so sorry I did that to you, but it was for your protection." She cooed.
Sesshomaru opened his eyes weakly and smiled. "Thank you…" He said weakly. He closed his eyes and fell asleep into Kagome's arms.
She gave him a soft smile and stood up. Sango and Miroku ran up to Kagome. "We'll finish off the spider demon. You and the others need to go back to the village." Sango said while she peeled some of the web out of her hair.
"Okay. You guys be careful." Sango and Miroku nodded and Kagome ran to Ah-Un.
"Is Sesshy okay?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yes, he's fine, he's just asleep." Kagome said softly and laid Sesshomaru on Ah-Un's back.
Once they were all on Ah-Un's back, Jaken nudged him and they flew back to Keade's hut.
When they landed in front of Keade's hut, Kagome jumped off Ah-Un and carried a sleeping Sesshomaru inside and laid him on his fluffy pelt. Sesshomaru shifted and stirred, his golden orbs fluttering open.
"Wha-where am I?" Sesshomaru said wearily
"Don't worry, your safe now Sesshomaru." Kagome cooed.
Sesshomaru shot up to a sitting position. "Where are Rin and Inuyasha and Shippou? Where-ouch!" He stopped and grabbed his left arm.
"Everyone's alright now lay back down before you hurt yourself more." Kagome said softly.
"Lord Sesshomaru!!" Rin yelled, coming into the hut.
Sesshomaru brightened up when he saw Rin running towards him, no scratches or any injuries to her body.
"Rin! Your okay!" Sesshomaru exclaimed.
Rin quickly knelt beside him, threw her arms around his neck, and gave him a big hug that made Sesshomaru blush.
"Oh, Lord Sesshomaru I was so worried about you!" Her words made Sesshomaru smile.
Inuyasha and Jaken busted into the hut.
"Lord Sesshomaru! I'm so relieved your well! At first I thought you were dead!" Jaken exclaimed.
"Well gee, thanks for never giving up hope on me." Sesshomaru said sarcastically, but Jaken never caught on.
Inuyasha, on the other hand, had a different approach to see about his brother. He ran towards Rin and Sesshomaru, and using Rin's head as a launch pad, he flung himself into the air and was about to glomp Sesshomaru.
"SESSHY!!" He screamed while in mid-air.
"Oh no you don't!" Kagome grabbed Inuyasha before he could successfully glomp his brother.
"Nooooo!" Inuyasha squealed, squirming and bucking against Kagome. "Let me go!"
"Wait till Sesshomaru's injuries heal, then you can glomp him all you want." Kagome told him.
Inuyasha's ears flattened on his head and he stuck out his bottom lip. "Fine." He pouted and crossed him arms. Kagome couldn't help but giggle. He looked soooo adorable!
Kagome let Inuyasha go and sat next to Sesshomaru. "Okay, let's see…I'm going to have to put some ointment on those scratches and look at those few bruises, but does anything else on your body ache Sesshomaru?" She asked.
Sesshomaru raised his left arm. "My arm kinda hurts. Do you think it's broken?"
Kagome examined it. "It might be, either that or it's just a sprain. But your clothes are soaking wet and your hair-dye and make-up is gone, but I'm only worried about your clothes. I'm going to have to go into the village market and buy you a new haori and hakamas. A/N: (Haori-boy's shirt in Jap.) (Hakamas-boy's pants in Jap.)(I'm not sure if I'm right?)
As Kagome cleaned Sesshomaru's scratches and bandaged up his left arm, Inuyasha was getting restless. A few minuets later he finally snapped. He waddled over to Kagome and shook her sleeve.
"Kagome, I'm bored." Inuyasha whined.
"Well, entertain yourself." She answered.
"How do I do that?"
"I don't know, you usually do entertain yourself."
After a few seconds, Inuyasha shook her sleeve again.
"Kagome, I'm bored."
"Inuyasha, I'm busy right now, you're just going to have to think of something quiet to do while I work." Kagome said as she was still wrapping Sesshomaru's left arm.
After a few more seconds, Inuyasha started banging his head against the wall saying; "bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored," with every bang.
Kagome was getting more and more agitated. Then, a random thought came to mind.
"Inuyasha, why don't you go play 'tackle' with Jaken, I think he's bored too." Kagome said sweetly.
Jaken perked his head up. "What?! No! Keep that little monster away me!!" He shrieked and stood up.
Inuyasha stopped banging the wall and gave a Jaken a devilish grin, which made Jaken start running.
"I'm going to get you for this witch!!" He shrieked and kept running around as Inuyasha chased him.
Kagome chuckled to herself. "That ought to keep Inuyasha busy and Jaken from bugging me." She finished wrapping Sesshomaru's arm and backed away so she could admire how well she wrapped it.
Just then, Sango, Miroku, and Keade walked into the room. "I'm exhausted!" Sango said as she set her boomerang against the wall and plopped next to the fire in the middle of the room.
"I agree, that damn spider took a lot out of me." Miroku said while yawning.
"Hey guys, I'm going to the market to get some dry clothes for Sesshomaru, watch the kids until I get back." Kagome said and left the hut.
'BANG'
"Hahaha! Come on toad, let's do that again!!" Inuyasha squealed as he finished tackling Jaken for the third time.
The rest of the group sat around the fire as Inuyasha resumed his game of 'tackle' with Jaken.
'BANG'
"Hahaha, I've tackled you four times already and you haven't tackled me once!!" Inuyasha cheered, "Come on, let's do it again!!"
Jaken was facedown on the floor, knocked unconscious and his right leg was twitching. "Hey toady, come on, let's play some more." Inuyasha began to poke at Jaken with the Staff of Two Heads.
"Toady?" Inuyasha tried to wake him up by calling him and poking him, but Jaken didn't budge.
Finally, Inuyasha walked over to Sango and shook her sleeve.
"What is it Inuyasha?" Sango said softly.
"I'm bored."
"I thought you were playing with Jaken?"
"He's not moving. I think he's dead."
Sango and Miroku looked over Inuyasha and stared at Jaken who really did look like his was dead.
"Well, at least he's still breathing." Miroku whispered to Sango.
Sango turned to Inuyasha. "Hey, why don't you go spend some time with your brother."
Inuyasha sighed. "Fine."
Inuyasha walked over to Sesshomaru and Rin. Rin was laughing and kissing Sesshomaru's 'boo-boo's' to cheer him up. (it's a romantic kid thing) Inuyasha stuck his tongue out. "Ugh." But then he got a devilish idea on how to torment his brother.
"Oh, Sesshy!" Inuyasha called in a tormenting manner.
"What Inuyasha?"
"I wanna kiss your boo-boo's too!!"
Sesshomaru's attention shot to Inuyasha. "What!? NO!"
"Aw come on Sesshy." Inuyasha stepped closer.
"Don't come near me, Inuyasha!" Sesshomaru growled to warn him off, but Inuyasha just laughed.
Rin giggled at the brother's playful feud.
Inuyasha puckered his lips and started making kissing noises as he came closer and closer.
"Ack! No Inuyasha, you little pervert, get away!!" Sesshomaru backed up until his back was against the wall.
"No no no no!! Stay back!! Help! Someone help, Inuyasha's trying to kiss me!!" Sesshomaru yelled out.
Sango, Miroku, Shippou, Kirara, and Keade all turned their attention to see Inuyasha trying to kiss Sesshomaru, who was backed up against the wall yelling for help.
Sango held back a fit of laughter and walked towards Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. "Alright, that's enough Inuyasha, don't tease your brother like that." She said and picked up Inuyasha.
"It's funny, Sesshomaru can handle a demon spider 10 times larger than him, but he needs backup when handling with Inuyasha." Miroku laughed.
Inuyasha squirmed and bucked against Sango until she had no choice but to let him go. When he hit the ground, he ran away from her and into Kagome's large yellow backpack. "I'm hungry!" He shrieked and literally put his whole body into the backpack.
"Well, at least that will keep him occupied." Sango shrugged and sat next to Miroku and Shippou.
Inuyasha rummaged through all the pockets of the backpack. Then, he saw something that caught his interest. It was a thin, silky fabric with two foamy like cups. He stared at it and finally tied it around his head, one of his ears fitting into the cup and the other ear fitting into the other cup. Then he found a small blanket and tied it around his neck and made it his cape. This only enticed him to look deeper into Kagome's backpack until he found a small stick with a red top. Inuyasha sniffed it and touched it with his fingers. When he looked at his finger, it was red, which only encouraged him to draw on his face and hands with the red-tipped stick. After that, he found some more thin, silky fabric, but was different from what he was wearing on his head. Inuyasha put his leg through on hole and his other leg through the other hole and pulled up, wearing what he didn't know was Kagome's panties over his clothing, her braw on his head, and her red lipstick painted all over his face and hands. When he checked through one pocket, he found something small and square wrapped up in paper. When he pulled the paper off, the square was brown and it had a very sweet smell to it. Inuyasha sniffed it then licked it. A smile spread across his face. It tasted a lot like Mrs. Higurashi's cake.
Inuyasha jumped out of the backpack and landed in the middle of the hut, drawing everyone's attention to him.
All mouths dropped when they saw Inuyasha. He was wearing some kind of fabric-headgear and something over his clothing. His face and hand were smeared with red scribbles and there was a blanket tied around his neck that made a cape.
"Inu-Inuyasha…" Sango said but then burst into a fit of laughter, followed by everyone else.
This only encouraged Inuyasha and he started dancing around laughing. Kagome walked in and heard all the laughter. "Hey what's everybody laughing about-" When she saw the source of there laughter she stopped talking, eyes widened, dropping Sesshomaru's new bought clothes, skin paled except for her face that blushed a dark crimson.
Inuyasha stopped dancing and stared at Kagome for a long time until saying; "Wow Kagome, you've got comfy clothes!"
Kagome finally exploded. "INUYASHA, HOW COULD YOU, YOU LITTLE PERV!! TAKE MY CLOTHES OFF NOW!!" She screamed and ran after Inuyasha.
Inuyasha screamed and ran off, jumping over Rin and Shippou and running between Sango and Miroku.
"Come back here, Inuyasha!!" Kagome screamed as she chased him around the hut.
Sesshomaru decided to help out by sticking his foot out and tripping Inuyasha as he ran by. Kagome finally pounced on him.
She ripped her bra off his head and pulled off her panties that he was wearing. "How dare you go through my backpack and wear my underclothing!! What do you have to say for yourself?" She scolded.
Inuyasha thought for a second, then smiled. "This sweet brown stuff is really good!" He raised his hand up and showed her what he had in his hand.
"Chocolate! You're not supposed to eat chocolate, you're too hyper as it is!!"
Inuyasha only laughed and giggled. Keade walked up to Kagome and gave her a wet cloth. "Here Kagome, clean his face off with this." Kagome took the wet cloth and cleaned the red lipstick from his face and hands.
Kagome opened her mouth to speak, but then something caught her attention and tensed. Miroku noticed.
"What's wrong Kagome?" Miroku asked.
"It's very slight, but…I sense two shards of the Shikon Jewel!!" That had everyone's attention.
Sesshomaru growled and stood up. "I smell another demon coming." He snarled. Sango stood and grabbed her boomerang. Kagome grabbed her bow and arrows and ran outside. "Keep Sesshomaru and Inuyasha in the hut!" She shouted to Keade, and her, Sango, Miroku, and Shippou ran outside.
"Do you think…that…it's Naraku?" Shippou said, cowering on Miroku's shoulder.
Kagome inwardly panicked. 'What if it is Naraku! I wouldn't be able to protect Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. If Naraku kidnapped them…who knows what horrible things that he might do to them!!'
Just then, a small tornado flew through the village and stopped right in front of Kagome.
Sango, Miroku, and Shippou gasped.
"Hey Kagome!" Said the wolf demon.
"Kouga!!" Kagome exclaimed.
