< br> Chapter Six

Inu-Yasha landed gracelessly on the other side of the well.
His knees were weak and ready to give under the weight of his and Kagome's bodies.

Though they were weak, Inu-Yasha still pushed his legs. He tried to get to the ladder, his legs too weak to jump.

"Gramps, I don't think she is back..." Souta, Kagome's younger sibling stated.

"I know what I felt!" The old raspy pitched voice of Kagome's grandfather stated, an underlying tone of depression laced his voice.

How could his own grandson doubt him?
How could his family doubt his powers...?
He was a bit paranoid, but he was the only one that truly saw how much danger Kagome was in!

Before any of this had happened he had spent his life preaching and studying the Sengoku Jidai, all its perils were forever in his mind.
You could call him a crazy, call him senile, but he knew of what his grand daughter got into.

It was far more dangerous then any gang of this time!
He may be a bit quirky, but he wasn't as naïve...

"S-Souta...!" A weak familiar voice called.
Jii-chan and Souta ran to the side of the well. What they saw made their blood freeze.
Inu-Yasha was on his knees at the bottom of well gripping an unconscious and shivering Kagome with one arm, while the other hung onto the ladder to prevent himself from collapsing.
"P-Please...Help...Her..." He fell unconscious still holding tightly to Kagome and the ladder.
Souta swung his long legs over the edge of the well and leapt down.
He landed in a crouch, is knees shook as he stood, the impact affecting him.

Souta ran to the hanyou and his sister's side. he lifted his sister out of the hanyou's arms .
Inu-Yasha's arms were peeling and red, muscle showed through the Swiss cheese like skin, it was grotesque. Heaving the Hanyou the onto his back. He had grown, he was now 18, and with the occasional visits his sister graced them with came the rigorous training his idol demanded he give him.
It was now paying off...

His fathers genes had kicked in when he turned thirteen, the growth spurt had been a pain in the ass.

His father had been a tall man, very well groomed, and tall. So it was natural that he inherit the genes.
"Grandpa! Get Mom! Hurry! Call Her!" Jii-chan was already climbing the stairs and headed toward the house.

Mrs. Higurashi ran out to the well house just as her son pulled himself, his sister and Inu-Yasha out of the well. He fell to his knees dropping the hanyou.
Mrs. Higurashi ran to her son's side, Lifted the Hanyou, leaning his frame against her own.

As she did this his eyes fluttered open.
Hazy gold eyes scanned their surroundings. He didn't know where he was, all he knew is that he had to find Kagome.
"Kagome...where is Kagome...?" He whispered hoarsely.
"Shh, don't use your strength..."
Inu-Yasha snapped back at hearing the familiar voice of

Mrs. Higurashi.
"N-no...I c-can't stay..." He mumbled pulling away, the pain flooded his body, but he ignored it limping towards the well. Mrs. Higurashi tried to stop him, but he avoided her grip.

"I...c-can't..." He mumbled over and over. She backed away as he leapt into the well.
She just stared.
what couldn't he do?

She turned quickly turned around and helped her shaky son carry Kagome into the house.

Souta sat beside Kagome gripping her hand as he rubbed it with his thumb.
He whispered little things to her in hopes she could here him.

Souta's hand tightened around her own as the sound of a car pulling up, and cutting off its engine flowed through the house.
"He is here..." Souta whispered.

Souta glared at the man who dared enter the house like he was welcome. Souta snorted, if it wasn't for his mother and Kagome's state, he would have kicked the man out, either that or become like Jii-chan and start plastering ofuda on him every time he passed, Jii-chan didn't mind him, he barley talked to him actually. But the idea with the ofuda wasn't half bad...he would have to ponder it.
But back to the matter at hand, he would not let this bastard anywhere near his sister.

"Souta..." The voice stated almost as if it were exasperated.
"Please...I know you aren't fond of me..." The voice drifted off.
"You aren't coming near her without a god damned good reason!" Souta shouted.

"Souta!" There mothers voice scolded.
"Be nice to your father!" She reprimanded.

"HE isn't MY father, Or Kagome's...He is a man who is sticking his nose into where it isn't belong!"
He was now standing and shouting.
His brown eyes were filled with such rage toward the unknown man, it was surprising.

Souta had a reason for hating this man, He was erasing the memory of their father. His mother already had forgotten him, but he would not stand for forgetting his father or let his sister.

The man also had a feel about him...like he had spent most of his child hood in battle, and they had enough with pain, just seeing his sister lying there helpless and pale, the complete opposite of what she really was!
No not any more!

"Souta!" The man turned to Mrs. Higurashi.
"Niyome (Nee-O-May)..." He trailed. Niyome shook her head.
"My son needs to learn respe-" She was cut off by Souta.

"No mother you need to learn respect! You are replacing Kagome and My father's memory!"
He shouted.
Souta was getting angrier by the minute.

"Souta! Go! Go to your room now!" Niyome screamed.
Souta stood his ground.

"No! As soon as Kagome was gone you went whoring yourself to the next man that would take you, and as soon as I'm gone...What next huh? I won't leave my sister with you, you traitor!" He scooped up Kagome and carried her out the door.
Niyome's eyes widened as she ran to the door that had carelessly been flung open.

"Souta! Souta! Where Are You Going!?" She shouted.
Souta yelled over his shoulder.

"To Get The Hell Away From You!" Souta shouted.
He was not trusting his sister with the traitor!
Inu-Yasha said to protect her, not give her to the enemy.
He shifted Kagome so she was possibly more comfortable. He kept running, running away from that shrine.

He was running to the one person he trusted...

Kurama heard banging on his door, looking to the clock he read the time... `It is 12:00 who in their right mind would be out at this hour, especially with the gangs?'
He silently walked to the door and opened it he was shocked to see his boyfriend with a beautiful girl hanging limply in his arms.
Now if Kurama was anything, he was possessive.

"Souta...What is going on?" He drawled his voice a bit harsh.
Souta huffed a bit his hair was tousled and his ears and cheeks were bright red.

"Please Kurama...She is y sister, I need your help."
Kurama relaxed but became more perplexed.

"What happened, do you have any idea?" Kurama asked.
Souta shook his head.

"I-I don't know... All I know is it is some sort of poisonous gas, miasma..." Souta trailed.
Kurama turned his attention to the girl. Her cheeks were tinted pink and sweat glistened on her brow, almost as if she had been the one running instead.

"Set her on the couch..." He stated. Souta did as told laying his sister on the couch. Kurama went into his bathroom retrieving plants and Herbs.
He came back to see Souta sitting on the couch his sister's head laying on his lap as he stroked her hair.

Kurama began to boil water for the herbs. As he sorted which herbs he carefully looked over the two, quite honestly, they could be mistaken for lovers. In all truth he was still a bit jealous of the girl, but he quickly brushed it away.

Brewing the concoction with quick ease he stepped over to the two.

"Souta, does she have any wounds?"
Souta gave him a look that spoke volumes.
Kurama sighed and began to undress her, he hadn't noticed, but the girl was dressed oddly, she looked to have stepped out of the feudal era.
And that was not the only thing he noticed, She looked only 18 Souta's age...
"Is she your twin?" He asked Souta.
Souta raised an eyebrow his sister was 24...why would Kurama think they were twins?

Souta shook his head.
"No, she is older then me, she is 24." Souta stated.
Kurama was surprised, but he didn't show it. She looked Younger then Souta!
Kurama felt her ribs for any fractures or breaks, he found none, but what he did find was that her skin was extremely soft. Now that he got a good look at her, he did have a good damned right to be jealous!

Though she wasn't as pretty as many girls out there she was innocent, so much so she attracted men without even wanting to...
Her body was beautiful as well he had a hard time controlling his hands, he was all to much a man. Souta began to notice his lingering touches.

"Kurama, you aren't groping my sister are you? because you are making me slightly jealous...and I never thought I would catch my boyfriend cheating on me..." Souta laughed trying to cheer himself up, it did and Kurama grinned.

So Souta liked was jealous? they would have to rectify that later...

Kagome's sudden coughing cut through their playing. Her coughs raked her body causing her to shake. Kurama turned her head smelling the blood.
He gave Souta a wash clothe to catch the blood as he went to check the water and brew.
Souta wiped the blood away from Kagome's mouth.
His eyes widened when the blood became black.

"Kurama!" Souta shouted.
Kurama rushed in Souta held up the wash clothe. Kurama raised his eyebrows.
the miasma was coagulating? He needed to hurry!
