InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Forgotten Dream ❯ Confrontation! ( Chapter 3 )

“~*~” Chapter 3 : Confrontation! “~*~”

“Master Inuyasha!” Myoga jumped up and down in happiness. The old flea hadn't changed a bit, not even his clothing. “I thought you were dead! I'm so glad to see you alive!” He sobbed.

 

“That's fucking great. You're still alive after 500 years?! Damn it all,” Inuyasha sighed, but he felt relieved for finally seeing a familiar face.

 

“Aren't you harsh and rude as ever…? Though, I must say, your blood still tastes excellent,” Myoga licked his lips. He couldn't believe it. Master Inuyasha was really alive, and he was right there, standing in front of him in flesh and blood. He was sure he wasn't dreaming - he slapped his own cheek to realize that as a fact. But, his heart told him a different story; seeing him alive was definitely too good to be true. Because, he remembered the funeral as if it happened just yesterday; Master Inuyasha and Lady Kagome placed in the same coffin, withered gracefully, and both grateful that they were able to breathe the last breath together. It was a large funeral attended by everyone they had known during their time on Earth; From Miroku and Sango's children - the monk and the female demon slayer had already passed away - to Koga, the wolf demon, and even Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha's cold half-brother.

 

“Why are you so quiet all of a sudden?” asked the half demon cautiously, afraid that he had hurt him with his biting words.

 

Myoga unexpectedly took a large leap away from Inuyasha. “You're not Master Inuyasha! Reveal your true form, you horrible demon!” cried the flea. “How dare you disguise yourself as my beloved master?!”

 

“What the fuck are you talking about?! It's me!” Inuyasha shouted back.

 

“Nice attempt to appear as my master, you despicable trash! But he possessed dog ears unlike yours! Now, return to your true form and stop pretending!!”

 

“That's because-”

 

“Oh, my!”

 

The familiar, bratty voice caught Inuyasha's attention instantly. He turned his head and gave the bitch his death glare.

 

“About fucking time you came!” he yelled.

 

“Who's the flea?” Shii questioned and changed the subject without even glancing at the half demon's direction.

 

Inuyasha let out a long, frustrated sigh then sat on the ground cross-legged. “I want to know why my ears look like human's.”

 

“Well,” Shii began, having Myoga - who seemed furious and defensive - on her palm. “If you had the ears that you had before, you would be labeled as a freak in this world and be sent to a lab where they'll cut you and kill you, Inuyasha,” Shii explained alarmingly. “Or, you would have to wear a hat or something to hide them all the time from public eyes, which I don't think you'll enjoy very much.”

 

“Why the hell would they do that?!” Inuyasha asked, baffled by her confusing words.

 

“Unknowns can be registered as astonishing or as terrifying. With your short-temper and foul mouth, you're most likely to be marked as dangerous, and they will try to get rid of you as soon as possible. In other words, I'm saving your butt,” the brat smiled proudly.

 

“Lies!” Screamed Myoga. “Master Inuyasha has been dead for-”

 

Shii squashed him before he could finish his sentence. She looked up at Inuyasha with her wise, garnet eyes. “I see you found your little friend,” she commented carefully.

 

“Yeah, but he wouldn't believe who I am,” Inuyasha scoffed in anger.

 

“I remember the funeral of Master Inuyasha and Lady Ka-”

 

Shii squashed the flea once more before he was done talking. “Hmm… I should've known,” she muttered to herself. “Maybe this was meant to be,” she smiled.

 

“What the hell are you talking about? What funeral? And why the fuck are you smiling?!” Inuyasha gritted his teeth and twitched in frustration.

 

“Why don't you go back, Inuyasha? I bet your family is worried to death about you!!” Shii reminded him so sweetly that it crept him out. “I'll be right there to talk to you soon, right after I have a little word with your flea friend over here!” she promised.

 

“Why can't I hear it?” Inuyasha asked suspiciously while he looked back and forth between Shii's too innocently smiling face and the passed out demon.

 

“Because,” she jumped and kicked Inuyasha right on his stomach with both of her feet. “Your family will be worried sick about you! Why do you make me repeat myself?! Now, get your ass moving, mutt!” she screamed angrily, then composed back to her usual happy self and said, “Okay?”

 

As confused and lost as Inuyasha was by sudden changes in Shii's mood, he gave in to save himself a headache and headed back to the house like told. Of course, he cursed and grumbled all the way back to the building about Shii to the depth of hell.

 

“Now,” said Shii as she turned her attention to the pretending-to-be-passed-out flea, Myoga. “We have something to talk about, my dear,” she giggled delightfully.

 

“~*~”

 

“I can't believe that bitch!” mumbled Inuyasha. “She just pops out of nowhere, and then starts ordering me around! Who the hell does she think she is?! When she comes back I'll make sure she-”

 

An abrupt scream cut off his thoughts about the wretched brat. It was Kagome, he was sure. He entered the house and ran up the stairs to the girl's room.

 

“What happened?!” Inuyasha yelled as he slammed the door open. He found Yoko sitting on the floor soothing the scared child. Kagome sobbed in her arms, shaking in fear.

 

“She had a nightmare,” explained the mother, smiling.

 

“Uncle Yasha!” Kagome cried as she pushed herself away from her mother's embrace and went to the half demon. “You left!” she accused. “You left without saying to goodbye to me! I thought I would never see you again!” she wailed.

Was she this fond of him?

 

Inuyasha didn't know what to say to her, so, instead of words he wasn't too good at, he hugged her while she held on to him and cried. It had been only three days - almost four, but that was beside the point - and he was already grown used to this booger following him around just as much as she was to him. Spoiled rotten and had the world to talk about, Kagome always got her way around him.

 

`I'll probably miss her when I go back,' he thought. Wait a minute. Miss her? Miss her?! This little brat who whined and bothered him 24/7, and couldn't leave him alone in sake of peace for one fricking second?! Holy shit, what the hell was wrong with him?! It must be the polluted air talking. Yes, the stench was probably getting into his head.

 

But, right now, he really needed her to stop crying. He hated it when kids or women cried. Also, his shirt was getting soaked from Kagome's tears. Where were all these tears coming from anyways? She was a tiny kid. Oh, my fucking god, did she just wipe her nose on his shirt?! That was the last straw.

 

“Kagome,” Inuyasha placed hands on her shoulders as he kneeled down in front of her. Now at her eye level, he put his most serious and sincere expression and said, “I'm not going anywhere. So, stop worrying about stupid, tiny things.” Not yet, anyways… “And id I do,” he continued. “I swear I'll say my goodbye before I go.”

 

“Promise?” she hiccupped.

 

“Cross my heart and hope to die.”

 

“Pinkie swear?”

 

“Are you doubting me?” Inuyasha made a face.

 

“Just do it!” Kagome fussed and started to cry again.

 

He actually growled as he intertwined his finger with finger with hers. “Happy?” he asked, definitely annoyed.

 

“Mm-hmm,” she replied as she wiped last bits of her tears on her pajama sleeve. “Uncle Yasha?”

 

“What?” Inuyasha heaved a sigh. Finally, he could get out of here. Where was Shii anyways? She said she would be here. That damn brat…

 

“Can you stay with me 'till I fall asleep?” Kagome asked with a frightened look on her face. Inuyasha looked at Yoko for help but she just smiled apologetically.

 

“Fine, I'll stay,” he agreed, sulking. Why did she always have to get everything her way?!

 

After Yoko tucked Kagome in her bed again, she turned off the light. “Sorry,” she whispered as she closed the door after her.

 

Sitting on the ground, leaning on the wall across from the girl's bed, he looked up at the full moon through the open window. Somewhere in the distance, a chime sang beautifully along with the summer breeze.

 

`Peaceful,' Inuyasha thought. He didn't need to fear for his life in this dimension. No demon came after his worthless life. Shii did mention that this world was untouched by the demons' influences, but he still had his suspicions. Not even a hint of them could be found except for…

 

“Myoga.”

 

“You're not Master Inuyasha! Reveal your true form you horrible demon! How dare you disguise yourself as my dear master!”

 

Myoga's voice rang in his head. It had hurt him a bit that the old flea couldn't recognize him. Was it that easy for others to forget about him?

 

`Keh,' Inuyasha snorted. `I can care less.'

 

“Uncle Yasha?” Kagome called.

 

“Go to sleep, brat. It's late,” he reminded her. He knew she wasn't asleep; her breathing pattern was uneven.

 

“Do you hate me?” she asked carefully a while later.

 

He blinked his eyes in confusion. “Why would I hate you?” he replied with another question. Of course, there were some traits of hers that really ticked him off from time to time, but overall, Kagome was a nice kid.

 

“Yes or no,” she pouted.

 

“No, I don't hate you,” Inuyasha rolled his eyes dramatically.

 

“Good,” she smiled. Then she rolled away to face the wall. With her back toward his direction, she eventually fell asleep.

 

`What a kid,' he thought as he turned his attention back to the shining moon.

 

“~*~”

 

“So, if what you're saying is true, this Master Inuyasha was brought here from the past?” Myoga questioned the girl incredulously.

 

“Yup,” Shii confirmed. “Before he met Kagome to be exact. Actually, I brought him here while his body is still stuck to that tree.”

 

“I see…” Myoga nodded his head as he crossed his arms and legs, deep in his own thoughts. “So he doesn't know anything about Naraku?”

 

“Pffft,” she scoffed. “What Naraku? He didn't even meet Miroku or Sango, yet!”

 

“Not even Tetsusaiga?”

 

“Not even the sword.”

 

“Can he be told of any of this? Of the past - I mean, of his future?” Myoga asked.

 

“I wouldn't advise you to play with the past,” Shii's tone became serious. “You might affect his future.”

 

“Oh, I understand.”

 

“But,” she smiled. “It wouldn't hurt to get to know others as of they are now. You know, without mentioning of the past?” she winked.

 

Myoga sighed in relief. “Lord Sesshoumaru will be most delighted to see his brother again.”

 

“I knew you would say that!” Shii giggled. “But warn others of what I've just told you, got it?”

 

“Of course, Lady Shii,” the flea quickly agreed. “Um,” he hesitated. “Could I ask you a question?”

 

“Shoot.”

 

“Who - or what - exactly are you? With the ability of time traveling and possessing so much knowledge, I can't help but to wonder if you are-”

 

“Shhh…” Shii hushed him, and smiled. “It's not the right time for me to answer that question.”

 

“Hmm…” Myoga frowned.

 

“Off you go,” she dismissed him. “I have to leave and take care of some other business.”

 

“Of course,” he bowed and turned around to leave. He glanced back to take another look at the girl, but she had already disappeared. This Shii person seemed harmless enough, but something was bit off. Myoga had a bad feeling about this whole Master Inuyasha being in the future and worried for what this might bring to the world in present. Shii was no demon, he was sure, but then what was she? And why was she meddling with the time?

 

The more Myoga struggled to get some answers, more questions were produced. He sighed and hurried back to the city; he knew he had to report this as soon as possible, especially to Lady Kaoru.

 

“~*~”

 

“Hi there, Inuyasha!” Shii greeted the half demon brightly, and loudly.

 

“Shhh!!!” Inuyasha hissed. “She's finally asleep!”

 

“Oopsies!” She smacked her mouth with her hand lightly, still talking very loud. “My bad!”

 

Kagome stirred in her bed. Inuyasha glared at Shii and pulled her down with him as he got out of the room through the open window. He didn't stop until there was a good distance from the house. He opened the well house door and entered it while dragging Shii along, who was still giggling.

 

“You almost work her up!” he yelled after closing the door tightly behind him.

 

“Oh! So, this is the infamous Bond Eater's Well!” She completely ignored him as she walked toward the sealed well.

 

“Don't you ignore me, damn it!” Inuyasha stalked after her.

 

“Do you remember this well, Inuyasha?” Shii asked him slyly.

 

“Why the hell would remember a well?!” he spat, still angry at the brat. He forgot the cause for being angry at her, but still, she sure deserved some pounding.

 

“Oh, you will, within ten years in this world's time to be exact, or was it eleven?” she pondered out loud. “In fact, you will remember it for something very special, if you know what I mean, naughty, naughty,” Shii winked and started to crack up.

 

Inuyasha raised his eyebrow at Shii's gibberish and came to a conclusion that she was more retarded than she appeared to be. “What the hell does that supposed mean?” he tried to clarify.

 

“Hmm…” She stopped laughing. “Don't have a dirty mind, eh? Too bad…” she mumbled disappointedly.

 

“What?!”

 

“Never mind,” she swatted her hand. “Anyhow, I'm here to check if you're doing alright.”

 

“I'm doing fine, alright, with my nose picking up every wonderfully, appealing scent and my eyes watering up by the breathtaking sceneries of this world. Actually, I'm so fascinated by this beautiful place, I can't sleep at night!” He spat bitterly.

 

“Good! I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying yourself!” Rejoiced Shii.

 

“I was being sarcastic,” he added as he bore his fangs at her face.

 

“Obviously,” Shii rolled her eyes, then mimicked Inuyasha's expression and she, too, glared at him, although, hers was full of humor unlike the half demon's.

 

Inuyasha's left eye twitched in overflowing anger. He said he would pound her senseless but still, she was a girl and a kid, damn it.

 

“So,” Shii broke the silence between them. “Does that mean you want to leave then?”

 

The sudden question that escaped from her mouth left Inuyasha speechless.

 

“O-of course!” He answered a while after.

 

“Are you sure?”

 

“Why the hell wouldn't I? I can't stand this place! This is like hell for me!”

 

“You won't be able to return to this world after I transfer you. Ever,” Shii warned severly.

 

Little Kagome's face flashed in Inuyasha's mind instantly by Shii's words. Her carefree laughter. The little brat who followed him around so fondly.

 

“Uncle Yasha!”

 

The half demon gulped. Answering such a simple question was harder than he imagined it would be. But, sooner or later, he would have to go back, right?

 

`Sorry, Kagome,' he apologized in his mind, hoping the message will somehow get to her.

 

“Inuyasha let out a sigh and met Shii's curious eyes.

 

“So?” She question. “What will it be?”

 

“Yes,” he answered. “Let me get outta here.”
