Chapter 47: Finding Inuyasha
Kagome woke up in a few hours. She couldn't smell Inuyasha and she came out of her room.
"Sango?" She called. Sango was in the courtyard.
She turned to see her friend. "Oh hi Kagome, feeling better?"
"Yea." She said jumping to her. "Have you seen Inuyasha here lately?"
"No since this morning, no. Why?"
"Oh that baka! I'm gonna kill him! If he's wounded again! Ugh! Where's my father?"
"In his room, watch out Sesshoumaru's with him."
"Ok." She said walking to her father's door. She knocked.
"Come in." Called her father. Sesshoumaru and Inu Heki were on the floor facing each other. "Oh, Kagome. Feeling better?"
"Much. Um… listen. Have you seen Inuyasha around here lately?"
"No."
"Oh, I'm gonna kill that baka!" She muttered.
"Why?"
"I can't smell him anywhere. Whatever was controlling me he went after and hasn't come back."
"You want me to help you look for him?"
"Please."
"You stay here Sesshoumaru. I'll be back soon."
"I will help you as well. With brother's luck he's probably gotten himself killed."
Kagome's eyes widened and she whined.
"Sesshoumaru!" Inu Heki said. "He's not dead Kagome. I promise. He's got too much of his father in him. He wont' die that way."
She started to walk slowly out. 'What if he really is dead?… he can't be. I wouldn't of seen my older self if he is dead.'
Her father held her by the waist. She didn't look at him, held her face with his hand and forced her to look at him. He had a serious look on his face and she nodded.
"Let's go to the spring. We might pick up a trace of him there." Kagome suggested. They nodded and ran off. Kagome was in the lead followed by her father and Sesshoumaru.
When they arrived at the spring Kagome started to sniff.
"When I get you Inuyasha, you are going to be sat to hell!" She muttered and picked up his scent. "I found it."
They both looked at her and nodded. She followed for a short distance then stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"It stops here. His scent stops here… Sesshoumaru, can you use the mark?"
"Yes."
"Can you try him? Please?"
He nodded and his mark turned a bright pink. He shook his head after a minute and she started to cry.
"I will find him. If it's the last thing I do, I will find him!" She said in a deep voice and started to transform.
"Darling, calm down! We'll find him!" Inu Heki said.
"No! I will not calm down!" She said once she transformed.
Her father sighed and transformed as well. Followed by Sesshoumaru, he was a hair taller than Kagome. She started to sniff again, this time she caught his scent and growled. Her father cocked his head and she started to run off towards it; her family behind her.
They arrived at a cave and Kagome reconfirmed her guess. She transformed back and waited for her father and Sesshoumaru. There was a new smell added to the cave when they entered. The smell of blood.
"Ugh… What happened? Why is the smell of blood so strong?" She asked covering her nose with her sleeve.
"I don't know but it can't be good." Her father said, also covering his nose.
Kagome ran ahead of them and gasped.
"What is it darling?"
"This is Midoriko's cave. I don't know why I would smell blood here though."
"Midoriko?"
"The miko who created the Shikon no Tama. You have to not want to use the jewel for anything evil. Inuyasha wa blown out of here once because he said he wanted to become a full fledge youkai with it."
She passed through the barrier.
'Come on father. At least try.'
'All right.'
He passed through. Sesshoumaru just stood there with his hand on his hip. Kagome rolled her eyes and walked out.
"Come on you baka. You didn't want the jewel anyways, it won't hurt you."
He rolled his eyes and they walked through.
"No more blood. Maybe it was to ward people off… Just think about using the jewel for good. We'll be there soon."
She faintly heard the clashing of swords and ran towards it.
"Wind Scar!"
She gasped. She first saw Midoriko entangled with the youkai, then she saw Inuyasha fighting someone. She transformed her katana into a bow and shot a yellow arrow. Inuyasha and what he was fighting stopped and looked to see where the arrow came from.
"You baka! What did you think running off like that would do?"
"Protect you!"
"Well my father did that better!"
She changed to a human and they resumed fighting.
"Why did you change to a human? If you get hit you'll die in one blow!" Her father told her.
"I've got more spiritual power as a human. And I've survived some massive blows as well when I was just a human." She transformed her bow into a sword. "Inuyasha move. Sapphire Blaze!" She yelled crashing the sword down and it shot a blue line of fire and lighting towards them. Inuyasha jumped over to his mate and it hit his victim. "Don't think of anything selfish!"
"Feh!"
"If you want to get blown outta here that's not my fault. You've already been blown out once, want to again?"
"No!"
"All right then. What are you fighting anyway?"
"An incarnation of Naraku's."
"How - I thought - ugh! Damn Naraku!…" She turned to her father and Sesshoumaru. "Are you two just going to stand there?"
"No." They both replied.
"I am Yume, the controller of dreams, and you girl have been my victim."
Kagome's eyes widened. "You mean you're the one who's made me have all those dreams about my father?"
"Yes, you were very easy to make believe that something like that would happen."
"You!… You bastard!… You made me mate my father?"
"I guess I did."
Sesshoumaru's eyes widened.
"And you were the one controlling me today, weren't you? That was Naraku's voice I kept hearing wasn't it?"
"Yes I was. But you got out of my grip somehow, girl. You are very strong."
She transformed back and sheathed her sword. "Golden Blessing Whip!" She hit her but it didn't do much. "Damn. What's up with Naraku and incarnations?"
"More than you know." She said and pointed a finger at Kagome.
"No… not again. NO!" She screamed and fell on her knees clutching the sides of her head.
"What's wrong darling?" Her father asked running over to her with Inuyasha.
"No… get… away… Now!" She screamed and got up. She wasn't herself.
"Kagome? Kagome?"
"I can't… control… my body… run… hurry." She muttered, trying to fighting it.
"No, I'm not leaving here without you." Inuyasha told her.
"Inu… yasha… command… me to… come back… please."
"I command you as alpha to return to normal!"
She fell on all fours and growled. She got back up and her eyes were blood red.
"Kagome…"Inuyasha said, she growled at him.
"Darling, come back to us! Please Kagome!" Her father begged. She growled deeper and backed up. "Kiss her Inuyasha. Bring her back."
"Huh?"
"Bring her back! Kiss her!"
He walked up to her and she growled again. He grabbed her arms and pinned them to her side and kissed her.
"Huh?" She said when she came back to normal.
"You're back! Thank god!" He told her and hugged her tightly.
"You're in serious trouble when we get back."
"Why?"
"For running off like that and not coming back."
"Well, I couldn't come back. I've been fighting this baka."
"Fine, if I can't have you girl, I'll haven your father." Yume said pointing her hand at Inu Heki.
"Dad, no!" She yelled. He was on the ground clutching his head and growling.
"How dare you!" Inuyasha said and begun to fight her again.
"Father?" Kagome asked softly walking up to him.
He got up and looked at her. His eyes were blood red. He walked towards her.
"Father?"
He stopped in front of her and put his arms around her waist; growled lightly.
"Father, no."
He started to kiss all the way down her neck again and she couldn't move, her father pushed his pelvis into hers and she gasped.
"Sesshoumaru, get him off me… I can't… move…"
He came towards her and Inu Heki growled. He kissed his daughter passionately and she melted, then went limp in his arms.
"Oh, god no… father stop! Sesshoumaru please!"
Sesshoumaru grabbed Inu Heki's shoulders and tried to pull him off.
"Use your claws Sesshoumaru. That'll get him of me. Please."
He brought his claws out and dug them into his shoulder. Kagome fell out of her father's grip.
"Get out of here bitch! Now!" Sesshoumaru called while fighting her father.
"Father, Inu Heki. I know you're there. Please come back. Fight it! If I can, you can!"
He stopped and his eyes returned to normal.
"Oh Kagome darling I - I'm so sorry."
"Its ok father, its not your fault. You were being controlled." She said and hugged him.
"Kagome! Use your arrow!" Inuyasha called.
She transformed her katana into a bow again. She shot a yellow arrow.
"Wind Scar!" Inuyasha yelled. They reformed as one. Yume screamed when it hit her. She was hardly standing afterwards. "Go to hell! Adamant Barrage!" He yelled as the sword crystallized. Diamond went everywhere except into Midoriko and the youkai. Yume was nothing afterwards.
"I hope that was the last incarnation of Naraku's for good." Inuyasha said and Kagome ran up and hugged him. She heard a slight growl from behind and knew that growl well by now, it was her father. She turned to see him. His eyes were flickering.
"Dad."
"Huh? Oh sorry. I told you I'd get riled up the first time."
She turned back to her mate and said the human spell on him. He cringed as she smirked. "Answer this one question before I 's' you to hell. What did you want the jewel for before we turned into youkais?"
"Huh, to become a full fledge youkai with it. AHHHHH!!" He yelled as he was blown out of the cave. Kagome laughed.
"Doesn't learn. I would of thought he'd remembered." She said starting to walk out with Sesshoumaru and her father. Inuyasha was laying on the ground at the barrier and was trying to get up. He freaked out when they came out.
"Baka, I would of thought you'd remembered."
"I did when I said youkai, but it was too late. Can you help me get up?"
"You must be seriously hurt to ask someone to need help getting up little brother."
He growled and Kagome picked him up by the waist then set him down.
"I'm gonna carry this baka. You want a ride father, Sesshoumaru?" She asked walking out of the cave holding onto Inuyasha. She set him down and transformed. Her father shrugged. He grabbed a hold of Inuyasha and jumped onto her back when she finished transforming. Sesshoumaru jumped on as well.
"Hold on." She barked and ran at full blast.
