InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Forgotten Memories ❯ Warped Reality ( Chapter 6 )

Chapter Six

Warped Reality

InuYasha hurried past the barrier. After what seemed to be an eternity, Miroku had managed to allow the Taiyoukai powers recognize InuYasha yet again. The hanyou ordered the barrier to form a pathway leading to Sesshoumaru's castle, and the powers were eager to obey, sensing once again that InuYasha was the offspring of the great InuTaisho.

Running through the lands, he can now smell both Kagome's and Sesshoumaru's scent everywhere. The most recent ones being the farthest up north. Running to her as quickly as he possibly could, he soon found himself faced with the gigantic castle that was the home of that bastard brother of his.

He could smell their scent more strongly than ever now, so he knew for a fact that they must be close. However, when he finally caught sight of them, it was far from the fighting for her life sort of scene.

In fact, it took every ounce of will power in InuYasha's body not to faint away. Sango and Miroku finally caught up, and the two gaped at the scene before them, complete lost at words. Then, they quickly turned to InuYasha.

But, by then, the hanyou had lost track of all his surrounding but for the two figures before him. The two figures that were on the verge of completely making love.

His vision slowly turned red, as he glared at Sesshoumaru's hands, which were still touching Kagome's breast. The breast that InuYasha himself had promised that no man would ever touch, so long as he was alive.

Yet, here they were, before him doing exactly what he'd been afraid of. Hell, Sesshoumaru was so fucking engrossed, he didn't even realize that InuYasha was there at that moment. Then, Kagome murmured something that caused InuYasha to loose all logic all together.

"I'm sure."

Jealousy and rage like never before erupted inside InuYasha's mind, and he tore Tetsusaiga away from its scabbard, ready to send that bastard brother of his to the seventh level of hell.

~*~*~*~

Kagome's felt Sesshoumaru's manhood to bud against her womanhood, ready to enter. But, before they were completely united, however, the angry cries to what seemed to be a red bull charged at them. Sesshoumaru reacted immediately, seizing Kagome's kimono and her person, he dragged them to the sky, with her clutched tightly in his arms.

Damn………Sesshoumaru swore in his mind. Of all the times InuYasha had to interrupt, it has to be when he, Sesshoumaru, had been about to fulfill his need. Just when he'd about to claim Kagome as his, and only his.

But more so, he was furious that InuYasha had seen Kagome naked. He landed in a safe distance away from the raging hanyou, and gently wrapped the kimono around Kagome, shielding her bare form from the rest of the prying eyes.

Then, he himself materialized his tail around him again, to shield himself from view. InuYasha's eyes were narrowed, when Sesshoumaru placed a possessive arm around Kagome's waist.

"Get your disgusting hands off of Kagome, you bastard." He snarled, raising Tetsusaiga.

Sesshoumaru growled, looking more angered than any of them can remember. "Get out of my land."

"How dare you touch Kagome!" InuYasha dashed forward again. "My Kagome!"

Kagome was becoming increasingly more confused. A large part of her just wanted this stranger to leave, so she and Sesshoumaru could return to where they'd left off. But another part of her was wondering about these strangers. They appeared to be highly familiar. Just who were they? What were their relations?

Through her thoughts, Kagome had not realized how close this stranger in red had come close. Sesshoumaru brought her away from him yet again and she took the opportunity to properly tighten her kimono.

Inside the sleeves of the kimono laid the sword Sesshoumaru had given to her as a gift, the forearm length sword that was both beautiful, convient, and highly deadly. She turned her attention to Sesshoumaru, and nodded at him. "I'm armed."

For some reason unknown to her, he looked very surprised. But that expression were dashed away, as suddenly their enemy came flying out of no where. Because she'd distracted him for that one brief second, he'd found the opportunity he needed to land his blow on Sesshoumaru.

That demonic sword of his landed themselves on Sesshoumaru shoulders, in his haste to keep her safe. Her eyes opened in horror, as she stared at the amount of blood gushing out of her love's shoulder.

The stranger came forth again, ready to give the killing blow, when Kagome quickly dash forward, blocking the downsweep of the blade. Immediately, he jumped back, afraid of what he might have done.

Cold fury clouded her eyes, as she faced off with him. Some of the red edged off his eyes, as he realized who he was fighting with. "Kagome………?"

"I did not give you permission to say my name," She snarled, anger like never before bubbling inside her heart. "For what you have done, I will show you no mercy."

Quick as lightening, she dashed forward, her sword held expertly in her hands. InuYasha blocked clumsily, surprised by her skills. Her offense never stopped, as she hacked away at him from one angle to the next, never stopping her search for an opportunity to disarm him. Finally, loosing her patience with this undoubtedly skillful swordsman, she unleashed her miko powers onto her blade, and rendered his own demonic blade useless.

She quickly dashed forward, disarming him with a deft twist, and held her blade by his throat. Her eyes were cold, unmerciful, as she glared at this creature before her.

He seemed to be highly shocked to find her laying the sword by his own throat. "K-Kagome?"

"I don't care who you are. How dare you hurt Sesshoumaru."

Suddenly, out of no where, a large boomerang flew at her. It came at them too fast, and Kagome jumped back, right into the arms of Sesshoumaru. Looking up, she saw the pains that one sword cut had given him. Although, his wound was already starting to heal, it was still very shallow.

"Lay down, Sesshou-kun!" Kagome ordered, and turned back to her shocked enemies. "I can handle them."

"NO!" Sesshoumaru growled. The audacity in his voice astonished, it appeared, everyone in the clearing. Turning her attention back to her savior, she saw that he was suffering from pains not just from his wound. "Don't hurt them, Kagome. You will regret it later."

"I………what? Sess, they hurt you!"

But he shook his head firmly. Looking away, he said quietly, only a slight trace of a growl audible in his voice. "If you would like to learn of your past, they would be of help. Kagome, they were your companions in your search."

Kagome's mouth hung open, and she turned back to the three that were in front of her. "Them?"

It did not appear that they were after our lives anymore. Kagome frowned. This is so confusing………

But she then turned her attention to the youkai lord. "First thing first." She said firmly. Glaring at the figure in red, she said, "You're to come with us to the Palace of the Crescent Moon." She demanded. "I must tend to Sesshoumaru's wounds first, no thanks to someone here."

With that, she turned away, and started helping Sesshoumaru to the castle. Before they completely disappeared from view, she added, "I trust you can find your way there."

A dead silence followed their wake, as though even the squirrels and birds were aware what a warped situation this is.

~*~*~*~

The servants hurried brought Sesshoumaru to his chambers and gently laid him down. Kagome, who seemed to have taken over things, said urgently, "Raven, get some hot and cold water with two cloths in each. Bring all the medicinal herbs you have in this castle to here." She turned to the four other female youkai behind Raven and added, "You four, go help her."

"Yes, my Lady Kagome."

Jaken stared at his lord, lying so weak in bed. He turned worried eyes upon Kagome, all thoughts of the fact that she's human fleeing his mind. "What can I do to help, my lady?"

"Get Rin to calm down." Were her terse reply. "Make sure she don't find out about this until he's out of this condition."

"Hai."

It shocked her mildly that they were all answering to her so impulsively. She'd always thought they looked down on her, because she was human. What she didn't know, was that they could all see that she'd become highly powerful under the training of their lord and master.

Raven hurried back with the water, and the other four carried all the herbs. "What you requested, my lady."

Kagome squeezed the scalding water off the cloth, and gently dabbed it on Sesshoumaru's wound. He'd lost too much blood. Cleaning out the wound, with the scalding water serving as disinfectant, she saw that it was causing Sesshoumaru to be in immense pain.

"Just hold on, my love." Kagome whispered, continually dabbing it with the cloth. "It's almost done."

The moment the excess blood had cleared out, she pressed cold water on the blood, hoping it would stop the flood. Then, she searched through the variety of herbs, unaware where she'd obtained such information.

Rubbing the aloe leaves on the cut, she watched with satisfaction as his youki amplified, and started to heal his wounds faster. Still, she carefully placed the cotton bandage on, and watched as the blood seeped into the fabric.

But, finally, the critical condition had passed, and some color seemed to finally return to his cheeks. Sighing a huge breath of relief, she settled back onto her seat. Wiping her cheeks, she was shocked to find tears streaming down from worry. Exhaustion seeped into her body, as though the adrenaline that had kept her going had suddenly gone out.

"Would my lady care to rest?" Raven asked, looking worry. "We would not want my lady to fall ill as well."

"I'm fine." Kagome brushed off the suggestion. "I want to stay with him."

"But, my lady has been on this for hours!"

Really? That surprised her immensely. To her, it felt as though only minutes had passed. She frowned. "Did visitors come?"

Raven motioned to one of the servants, and came back later with a guard. The guard bowed respectfully to Kagome and said, "Yes, my lady. Four of them came. They have been brought to the waiting hall, awaiting my lady's presence."

Kagome nodded. "Prepare rooms for them and inform them that they shall be seen to first thing tomorrow."

"Hai, my lady."

He left, and Kagome resettled down. Looking at the man she'd fallen in love with, she couldn't help but feel worried. Why did these strangers fill her with such dread? Why did she want tomorrow to stay off forever?

/Because you know, Kagome./ She frowned. Quiet! She told her conscience. But it appeared to ignore her.

/Because you know that once you regain your memory, everything would change./

And even as she denied it, in the back of her mind, she knew it was truth.
