Hey! Just a few things before I start the story. I only posted up chapter 1 yesterday, and I got 2 reviews! (Is that good…? Um…) I've been putting this off for a while and was planning to do one about InuYasha becoming a full demon. I think this is because I was scared to do his personality… Anyway, I have a few more ideas for more InuYasha fanfics. Oh, and I said demon "snake" and demon "spider." I'm sorry if I confused you! It was a spider! I was at the same time writing another fanfic ahead of time and a snake attacked him in the story. It was late at night! I'm sorry!
And thanks again to those 2 people! It really helps.
InuYasha eyed the girl bandaging his side nervously. Was she really who she said she was? His wife? She's taken him into her hut and was nice to him and all, but this was ridiculous. The only girls he really knew were Kasumi and his mom, if you could count her.
"All done," Kagome said putting the roll of bandages to the side. "That feel better?"
"No." InuYasha got up. (His side still hurt, but he wasn't one to show it.) He walked outside and looked up at a giant tree. The same one with the scar. "What's with that scar?" He could Kagome go up next to him nervously.
"Does the name 'Kikyo' ring a bell?" she asked.
"That name came to mind when I first looked at the tree," InuYasha said.
"Kikyo…" Kagome didn't feel comfortable talking about it and her voice faltered. "I'll tell you later."
"Kagome!" a childish voice called. "Who's that?" A young red-headed boy hopped onto Kagome's shoulder. Unless InuYasha was going crazy (which he didn't find impossible at this point) that kid had pointed ears and fox feet.
"Shippo," Kagome said to him. "InuYasha's come back." Shippo looked around, totally ignoring the boy in front of him.
"Eh? Where?" Shippo was confused. "I don't see…"
BONK!
"OW!" InuYasha hit Shippo on the head. At first looking angry, his eyes widened. Did he do that for a reason? Anyway, it was fun. BONKBONKBONKBONK.
"What are you doing that for?!" Kagome asked angrily. Her kind face became scary. InuYasha became frightened. Why? Kasumi's gotten mad like this a lot. He should be used to it.
"SIT, BOY!"
"GAH!" InuYasha was face first in the dirt. He got up and looked at Kagome.
"Sound familiar?" she asked again, now at an in-between point between mad and kind. She reached down and grabbed something hanging from his neck. A necklace? A rosary? "Whenever I say 'sit,' you… do that."
"It is you!" Shippo bounced onto his shoulder happy as could be. But from what InuYasha could tell, he treated this kid like a punching bag.
"Get off!" InuYasha ordered. He pushed Shippo onto the ground.
"SIT!" But apparently, Kagome mistimed her command and InuYasha landed right on top of Shippo. (Sorry Shippo fans.) InuYasha got up slowly and walked back into the hut. She put on his shirt and jacket. A girl walked in while he was still buttoning it. She looked like she was going to drop that giant boomerang she was holding.
"Is that you?" she asked slowly.
"Apparently," he said to the girl. "Quite a few people seem to know me."
"So that wish was reversed?" she said. "You must know me now, right?" InuYasha thought to the back of his mind. A girl in his class… The quiet one…
"Yomi?" he asked. The girl's face fell. "Um, there's a different version of Kasumi here, so are you an alternate Yomi or something?" The girl shook her head. Now this was a guessing game.
"Do I have to guess?" InuYasha rolled his eyes. "I don't know you!"
"It's Sango!" she said. "You remember me, right?" InuYasha shook his head again.
"You still look like Yomi," he said.
"Maybe Yomi is a descendant," Kagome said walking in. "Most people in InuYasha's time are real."
"'Most?'" InuYasha repeated. "What do you mean 'most?'" Kagome ignored him.
"When's Miroku coming back?" she asked. Sango shrugged, still looking at InuYasha.
"He's out with Setsuko and Setsumi," she said. "Seito's still with Kohaku." Kagome nodded pleasantly, trying to make this seem more casual than it really was.
"Well, it's getting late," Kagome said looking at the now dark sky. InuYasha had really been there that long? Impossible…
In bed, he had a strange dream that night.
Ugh… now where am I? Oh, there's some kid. Huh? Are those dog ears? Well, this place does have weird people. There's a wooden house with Mom near it. No, that's not Mom. Her hair isn't brown and her face isn't nearly as childish. Um, what are those people doing with that straw? They don't have to push her in like that.
That kid's panicking now. Wonder why. They dropped the straw in the doorway and are lighting a torch. What's the point of… Hey! Wait! Don't set the house on fire! She's still in there!
That's kid's crying for his mother. Is that her? Couldn't be. She looks human.
"The woman's touched by the devil," someone shouts. "She has to be to bear such a child." Stop it! Why aren't you burning the brat then? Can't you hear me?!
"Something wrong?" Kagome was looking over him. "It's morning. Having a bad dream?"
"No, I…" his voice faltered. He tried to forget the dream as he got up, but he couldn't. He couldn't forget that woman's face and the scared little boy.
"Mother."
