InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ For One Reason or Another ❯ Pain ( Chapter 22 )

Sorry about the long wait. I kinda got caught up in a video game I discovered a few days ago. I still am…the damn game has two freakin discs! Stupid game is like a drug…

Twenty-two: Pain

InuYasha growled as Mizu cautiously walked towards the hanyou turned Yokai. Kagome stiffened as InuYasha’s lengthened claws pierced the thin kin of her upper arms. Thinking quickly Kagome did the one thing she knew or hoped to work. Gathering her courage Kagome screamed the one word, “SIT!!” her eyes widened as she felt InuYasha’s claws tear through her skin as he fell out of the tree face first followed by Kagome who landed on his back with a soft thump. Shaking Kagome allowed Mizu and Sesshomaru to pick her off of InuYasha’s unconscious form. Swaying in Mizu’s grip Kagome turned to look at the blood and gore that surrounded her. Sesshomaru had let her go and pulled InuYasha out of the crater by his neck. Dropping InuYasha unceremoniously Sesshomaru turned and walked towards his castle.

“He shall be fine. He will not recall any of this and it is best you do not remind him. Rin come.” Sesshomaru said calmly as Rin rushed to him from her and Shippo’s hiding place. The little girl was smiling brightly as she held on to the one flower that had not been dropped as she and Shippo ran. The brightly colored flower was standing out like a sore thumb in the grisly battle scared area.

“Kagome! We heard a scream, umm was that Sesshomaru?” Sango said as Kirara landed softly next to Mizu.

“Yes.” Kagome said as she held InuYasha’s head in her lap. Sango jumped off Kirara and Miroku, who had seemed to be unconscious for some odd reason fell off after her.

“What happened? One minute I was killing Yokai and the next I hit Miroku over the head as I attacked a Yokai that just vanished.” Sango said as Kirara transformed to her kitten size and leaped onto her shoulder.

“Is he okay?” Kagome asked pointing to Miroku. Mizu swayed and sat down on the ground. Her vivid blue eyes dulled as she passed out. A light briefly glowed on her face as a stripe came down the center of her forehead.

“Yes. It seems Mizu is now a pack leader. See the middle stripe on her face? It symbolizes leadership. Will InuYasha be okay?” Sango asked worried.

“I hope so.” Kagome said ignoring the pain in her arms. Already the bleeding stopped as the wounds closed. ‘My poor hanyou, so hurt and in so much pain.’

InuYasha groaned as she ran a clawed hand down his cheek. His cuts were deep and not healing quickly, Kagome began to worry. “Kagome isn’t the new moon tonight?” Sango asked.

“Damn! He’s hurt so bad he won’t heal!” Kagome panicked. “I’ll have to take him home and to the hospital!” she carefully got up lifting InuYasha’s form into her arms. Surprised she looked down at him, amazed by her own strength. Turning to Sango Kagome told her bye and turned running towards the well. Thinking of InuYasha’s pain Kagome ran faster than InuYasha ever did and made it to the well in record time. She looked down at him before jumping in the well. Her hands were soaked with his blood and his breathing was troubled. His hair had also turned black. She jumped through the well.

***15 minutes later***

“How long until your friend gets here?” Kagome asked her mother worriedly as she paced the living room. InuYasha was lying on the couch in pain and bleeding.

“Soon. He is a demon,” her mother told her. Kagome’s ears twitched as she caught the sound of a car door closing.

“Finally!” Kagome said as she rushed to the door. Throwing it open she was assaulted with an oddly familiar smell. “What? How?” she asked the figure.

“Yes me.” the demon said.
