INUYUGI

Little Demon

CHAPTER 7: Realizations…

Spider senses, the spider has the ability to sense prey or enemies when they are close by or headed towards them.

Yugi continued to walk with the others, far behind the group now. He wasn't much of a walker. Well, he would walk in his city from place to place, but it didn't last this long. He huffed gently under his breath, then his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He gasped, and that caught Sango's attention "Yugi, are you alright?"

"My heart did something…" Yugi said gently. His heart skipped again, and while everyone was looking towards him, a large snake like demon appeared from the trees. Yugi yelled "Over there!"

Everyone turned, and Inuyasha pulled out his sword that grew larger "Dammit, it's a snake demon!"

"Hello…" the snake demon had the head and neck of a snake and the body of a regular human being. Though Inuyasha couldn't sniff out if it was a half breed or not, he assumed it was full and the demon continued as it made a wide smile "Fressshhhh meat…"

Yugi's stomach churned, and he held it weakly as he yelled out "This isn't happening!"

Kagome and Miroku rushed up to Yugi, and Sango yelled "I'll help Inuyasha!" She ran towards the demon as she took out her boomerang and threw it. The snake head ducked and dodged the same time it was backing away from Inuyasha's blade.

Kagome asked "What's wrong?" "My stomach…my heart…" Yugi's brain pulsated "My head…it all hurts."

The snake head soon looked over at Kagome and the other two, and he smiled "Easssssyyy meat…" He used his human hands to punch Sango away from him, and then he smacked Inuyasha out of the way with his green tail that appeared. The tail sank back into his back, and the snake demon got on his stomach and slithered, at a fast pace, behind Yugi. Then the demon stood to his feet and Yugi's heart skipped.

Before Kagome could yell, the demon began to strike with it's fangs. Yugi moved the other way and dodged. His heart was now racing, and the demon striked again, and Yugi dodged once more. The demon tried to attack at Yugi's head, and Yugi fell to the ground on his stomach. He winced from the pain, before he crawled away rather fast. The pain suddenly disappeared.

Yugi got to his feet when he was behind a tree, and he watched as everyone started to fight to defend themselves from the demon. He huffed lightly, before whispering to himself "Spider senses…the pain in my stomach, my heart, my head…it was a warning of danger." He smiled "I've got spidey senses!"

Venom, depending on the spider, there is a certain venom within it's fangs that can either cause numbness, swelling, internal bleeding, or even death.

Yugi thought as he watched the others struggle, he wondered what else he could actually do. He made a curious smile, and his violet eyes gazed at the demon "Let's see what I can do."

He ran from behind the tree, and he yelled "Hey, loser! Over here!"

As soon as all the attention was put on him, his face turned pink and the snake quickly complied and slithered over. Inuyasha yelled "Yugi! Are you an idiot? Look out!"

Yugi was suddenly trapped within the coil of the demon's snake tail. He winced as he was squished, and he licked at his fangs. The demon hissed "Sssssstupid meat…" He opened his mouth wide, and without a moment to lose Yugi bit into the tail that was holding him. He bit deep and hard, and the snake paused for a split second only to let out a sheer cry and loosen his grip on Yugi. Yugi squirmed his way out, and he ran behind Inuyasha. They all looked at the bite mark, and it was swollen, red, blood seemed to slowly trickle down the tail.

Inuyasha smiled "Oh, experimenting I see…"

Yugi shrugged his shoulders and blushed "You know, what they were saying about me liking Sesshoumaru…it's not true. I found out what happened back there were just danger senses I developed."

Inuyasha blushed slightly, before he shrugged his shoulders and looked away "So what? Not like I cared about it!"

Yugi smiled up to him "Okay…" He said simply. Inuyasha looked relieved though, that was all that mattered.

Inuyasha headed back into battle, and before Yugi could try and help, he paused and licked at his teeth. He stuck out his tongue in disgust "Ugh, I have snakeskin and blood on my teeth…" He spat a little, before he made a small sigh.

Equilibrium, for spiders, is the ability to stick to any surface and climb, whether it be tree, wall, or other objects.

Yugi tried to think of the other things that he could do, and he wondered about climbing. He smiled as he walked over to a tree and placed his hand on it, then he used his other hand a little higher, and he kicked off his sandals and placed his feet on the tree as well. He was sticking himself to the side of it, and with a small smile, he started to climb just like a spider would. Yugi looked over at his new friends that were fighting, and then he lowered his gaze down and made a small sigh before letting himself fall to the floor. It all seemed so, unreal.

Inuyasha finally managed to slice off the snake's head, and he sighed and used his sleeve to wipe his forehead from the blood that managed to get on him. Kagome placed her arrows and her bow on her back, and Sango did the same with her boomerang. Miroku looked over at Yugi, who was now slipping back into his sandals "Are you alright, Yugi?"

"Yeah, I'm good." He rushed over to the group and smiled at Miroku, before he looked at Kagome "Are you guys okay?" Kagome nodded slowly, then she glanced at Inuyasha and Sango, and they nodded as well.

Yugi then smiled "Good." He blushed a little bit as he lowered his gaze to the ground "So, I can basically do everything a spider can, with the exception of making spider webs, I think."

Inuyasha smiled "That's pretty neat, I suppose." Yugi nodded and continued to smile, before Kagome cleared her throat so she could get some attention "Well, I suggest we start moving, who knows what else might come after us while we're chatting away." "Kagome's right," Miroku nodded in agreement as he started to lead the way "let's get a move on." Sango and Kagome followed right after Miroku, and then Inuyasha and Yugi walked together after the group.

It was a silent walk most of the way, at least for Inuyasha and Yugi who couldn't seem to start a conversation together. Sango, Miroku, and Kagome were chatting away. Inuyasha made a small sigh as he slowly turned and lowered his head to look at Yugi "Well, now you just need to get used to your abilities, Yugi. So you don't ache all over when you sense danger approaching."

Yugi nodded slowly "That's going to be difficult. My reflexes have gotten better too, but the idea of having my stomach hurt and all that just gets painful and annoying." "I'm sure there's a way for you to not feel like hurling chunks when there's an enemy close by…" Inuyasha said with a small grunt "If you practice, and get used to it, eventually your stomach won't be hurting and your head won't hurt so badly…"

"I guess so…" Yugi hunched his shoulders and nodded slowly. He felt tired already, but he would never suggest a break if they were possibly so close. It was now late afternoon, the morning yellow sun was orange, and now the sky was as well, slowly fading to a deep purple.

"We're almost there." Kagome said proudly before she stopped in her tracks and smiled. She placed her hands on her hips as she looked ahead, and Sango walked off to continue her search for her Kirara. "We'll settle down here," Miroku said as he sat himself down. He let out a small sigh, before he looked up towards Yugi and Inuyasha "We're close to the next well, but it's getting late…so it's probably too dangerous to keep moving forward in the dark."

Yugi nodded, then Kagome spoke up "Alright, well, we need a campfire…and find the nearest river to fish a little bit. Inuyasha, you look for the river while I get some wood and stones." She then clapped her hands once "Alright!" "Can I help?" Yugi asked as he looked towards Kagome. Kagome thought for a moment and scratched her chin, before she smiled "Um, yeah! You can…um…" She blushed a little, before she shrugged her shoulders "There isn't much needed right now, Yugi. Just sit with Miroku and you two can chat." She wandered off, and Yugi dragged himself over to Miroku and sat himself down in the dirt beside him.

Miroku smiled "Is something wrong? You should be glad you don't have to do any of the work."

"I just realized that I don't usually do any of the work because I'm either too short, too stupid, or too useless…" Yugi sulked as he said this, and he made a small sigh "At least…those were the reasons back where I lived. I wasn't too helpful in anything but games and homework."

Miroku frowned slightly, before he patted Yugi's shoulder, the younger male looked towards him as he sought for words of wisdom. "Well, just because you aren't asked to do certain things, does not mean that you do not have the ability to." Miroku said calmly, then he lowered his hand from the younger male's shoulder and smiled down at him "There is probably an inner power inside of you waiting to get out, reveal itself…and it will one day prove to everyone how skilled and talented you are. Everyone has an inner gift that is waiting to be set free, when you find yours, Little Yugi, you will know how useful you are…"

Yugi smiled a little. Miroku was actually very soothing; it was nice to hear him speak to people because he always sounded so calm and confident. Sango returned and bent over as she started to sit down beside Miroku, and suddenly the monk smacked her butt happily "Did you find Kirara?"

Sango stood right up and gasped, before she turned right around and kicked the monk in the face.

Yugi covered his eyes.

"No! But I did find out that I can't even SIT next to the perverted monk before he tries to put the moves on me!" Sango yelled angrily. With a huff she walked around and sat beside Yugi. Yugi uncovered his eyes and blushed deeply, before looking towards Miroku. It was that day when he realized Miroku wasn't as 'good willed' as he thought he was… Miroku said smart things from time to time, but probably did PLENTY of stupid things.

Inuyasha returned with plenty of fish wrapped up in his shirt, the red and white surrounded the squirming fish, and the batch was tied together with Inuyasha's sleeves…meaning the Hanyou was walking around without a shirt.

Yugi slowly folded his hands together and placed them on his lap.

Inuyasha sat himself down beside Sango, and it was all quiet until Kagome returned with plenty of sticks, twigs, and rocks and stones to start the fire with. She set a few rocks around the pieces of wood, then she tried to create sparks for the fire to start.

Sango, Miroku, and Yugi sat there in silence, and Kagome started to let out small huffs from annoyance. Inuyasha went over behind her and helped her out, causing Yugi to arch a brow and look away quietly. Kagome took each fish one by one and slid the fish on sticks, then she quickly stuck the stick into the ground close to the fire so that they could all cook well.

Inuyasha lifted his shirt and sniffed it, before shaking his head "I'm going to wash this, I'll be right back." With that said he turned and walked away. It was already beginning to get dark, and the sun suddenly disappeared underneath the horizon. "Well, it's going to take awhile before the fish are done…" Kagome said gently as she went over to Sango and sat herself down. The four were quiet, then Kagome cleared her throat "So, Yugi…tell me more about yourself…"

Yugi turned his head to look at her, before he smiled and looked into the fire "Well, my favorite card game is called 'Duel Monsters'. I play it all the time; and it's a really big thing where I come from." Kagome smiled "I've never heard of it before. Not many people where I'm from play card games anymore." Yugi looked at her "Well, it's not like we don't have other things to do, it's just a very popular game. There are videogames and all sorts of things to do. My grandfather owns a Game shop where he sells everything."

Miroku frowned as he looked at Yugi "Yugi, do you miss your grandfather?"

Yugi lowered his head to the fire again. He realized that he did, and he missed his friends, and he missed his home…his warm bed… he missed Yami to. The 'Other Him' would probably know how to get out of a situation like the one he was in now…only he didn't have the 'Other Him' with him… he was alone.

He then looked at Sango "But I have you guys here, at least I made some friends and I'm not alone…" Sango smiled towards him "That's right! You don't need to worry, Yugi. We've got your back." Kagome and Miroku nodded.

Inuyasha returned holding his wet shirt "Well…The smell's out, but I gotta let it try until tomorrow morning." Kagome frowned and looked at Inuyasha as the male sat across from the four "Won't you get cold?" "I'll be fine." Inuyasha grunted as he tried to squeeze the rest of the water out of the shirt.

Yugi looked at Kagome as she gazed at Inuyasha with worry. Yugi wondered how Kagome felt about the half dog demon. He made a small sigh as he realized that maybe Kagome had a crush on him…and who's to say that Inuyasha didn't return the same feelings? Yugi huffed under his breath at the thought; Inuyasha didn't care for anyone…why would he care for her?

Then again…Yugi didn't care. It wasn't like he would be staying forever anyway… and he didn't even have feelings for Inuyasha.

Before Yugi knew it, he zoned back into reality and Miroku and Sango were asleep. Kagome had moved herself beside Inuyasha and they were eating away at their fish. There was one fish left at the dimming fire, and that was obviously for Yugi.

"Glad you're back on earth, Yugi." Kagome giggled "You should eat your fish, it might get cold…"

"We have a lot of walking to do…" Inuyasha added as he began to eat his own "Eat up, runt." Though he only took a few bites of his own fish, he ate slowly, unlike Inuyasha.

Kagome nudged Inuyasha and glared, then she smiled at Yugi again and finished her meal. Yugi slowly took the stick, then winced and the fish fell into the fire. He gasped "Oh…crap."

"Ah!" Kagome quickly pulled out the stick, though the fish slipped back into the flames and began to burn to a crisp. Kagome frowned "I-I'm sorry, Yugi…I tried to get it, I guess the stick sat too close to the fire and got too hot…" Yugi made a slow nod, now that he knew he couldn't eat, his stomach got upset.

Inuyasha's ears twitched, then he scooted over towards Yugi at the other site of the fire and held the half eaten fish towards him "Here, you can have the rest of mine…I'm not really hungry." Yugi blushed deeply as he looked at the fish, then he slowly took it and smiled towards him "Th-Thank you, Inu-sama."

Inuyasha grunted, his own face turning a light shade of pink "D-Don't call me that! Runt!" He shoved Yugi lightly, and Yugi laughed. Kagome watched as Inuyasha and Yugi got along… perfectly.

She then fell asleep; coming to realize that she might have an enemy in her team.
