InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake ❯ Hi ( Chapter 2 )

Erin: Thalia went on a vacation and my adopted little brother will be with me for a little while and maybe even when she comes back. That last chapter was a bit odd in my eyes

Paeru: *Waves and beams at audience* I still say the game was scarier and odder but since no romance is allowed in that game and you're solving a mystery…

Erin: Oh yeah, I thank Inuyasha_For_Ever for reviewing ALL of my stories! I'm really grateful! Oh and I still cant believe…

Paeru: *Whispers to audience* Don't listen to her ramblings she just went on the Ring of Fire and is still shook up from hanging upside down so long.

Erin: *Hears Paeru despite his attempts to whisper and screams* I'm still gonna kill Bella for getting me on that ride. It swings you back and forth in this long cart that fits 18 people: eight facing left and eight facing right on a big circle. Then it goes around in a circle like a summersault without hurting your head. After it goes around a few times it hangs you upside down so your butt is falling off the seat for twenty seconds. Try that and see how you feel afterward. *Starts blazing like a wild fire. *

Paeru: *Eyes wide in horror and confusion* Anyway to inuyasha totally obsessed: Finally Erin and I aren't the only ones who have jumped during the game. Hey inuyasha totally obsessed have you ever gotten passed the end? I've played the game millions of times. Plus if you have ever played the other and can't get passed a part we have beaten; Message in a Haunted Mansion, Treasure in the Royal Tower, Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake, and The Secret of the Scarlet Hand. *Shines happily*

Erin: Tsukiyo_kitsune_tears: Thanks your review is appreciated deeply!

Paeru: ALL reviews are appreciated deeply!

Chapter Two

Tortured Eyes

As I stepped out of my home I saw Miroku was heading towards his little platform. He saw me but not Shippo since he had decided that all humans other than me were out to get him. He saw me and waved then jogged up. "Hey why are you out? I though that after hat happened last night would keep you inside."

I shrugged and sighed "It's sad but this is the only way I can get my clothing." Miroku smiled "I can accompany you if you like." I shook my head, no. "It's okay, I'm fine." Miroku nodded "If you need anything just scream." And with that he left.

````

I walked up the little hill that went into the forest then it struck me "Hey Shippo, how do you think I'm gonna get my boxes home? Maybe I should have brought along Miroku." Shippo shrugged. "Well you could take a few trips back and forth or I could transform into a trolley." Shippo said. "Okay weird but what about the Ghost dogs." "They won't attack if you're armed." "Go and grab them for me." I said and Shippo bounded off.

I looked up at the sky and saw it was almost a full moon, well I might see them coming. Shippo bounded back with the set "Thanks." I said as he jumped onto my shoulder.

We entered the forest and I shivered as I felt something watching me closely. I turned so quickly that Shippo had to cling to my shirt. When I turned I saw four pairs of glowing yellow eyes and one pair of golden eyes that didn't match the others but they disappeared before I could blink. "Did you see something Kagome?" Shippo asked looking where I had seen the eyes but seeing nothing. "I'm not too sure. Hey Shippo why don't we see if we can get the boxes in the morning?" I asked with a tremor showing clearly in my voice.

Shippo heard it and puffed up bravely "No! We will go and get them now and don't worry the Ghost dogs will be too scared to come near us." I smiled and the little child/fox or whatever he was. "Why did it have to be at night?" I pouted to myself and kept on walking. When Miroku was making those weird noises I had said 'That I wasn't one too be scared off easily.' Now I was mentally hitting myself for thinking that and also not taking Miroku with me.

We had been following the map for about five minuets when a howl broke the night sky but it sounded so far off that I only shivered and started scratching my arms. Shippo patted my head though he was shaking even worse than I was. "A few more turns and we'll be there." He squeaked.

Sure enough we reached the cemetery and Myoga standing next a huge grave made of marble. When I saw him I had Shippo hide himself behind my legs and then demanded "How am I gonna get these back to my place and why did you want me to get here at night." It was clearly easy to see that I was really angry.

Myoga acted like he hadn't heard me and was looking around then he focused on me. "I tied ropes to these boxes so you could drag them. And the night reason was so I could see Inuyasha but it seems he won't show his face to me. Anyway goodbye Miss Kagome and if you see Inuyasha please tell me." He said heading to his car but stopped when I said, "You're nuts old man. If you wanted too see this Imonasha guy why didn't you bring my stuff down your self?"

Myoga snickered. "There are many reasons for that: One when I was younger I promised that I would never go passed the cemetery, Two: Like you said I'm an old man, Three: Again like you said it's your stuff. Plus if I was able to bring the boxes to your home I wouldn't carry them I would drive them down but there is no room for a car." Myoga said leaving me there just staring at his white car while he drove away.

"Well that was weird." Shippo said finally popping out from behind my legs as I walked up to my boxes with the ropes attached and stated pulling. I was surprised when it rolled forward thinking that somehow wheels had been attached also only to be even more surprised that Shippo was gone. "Shippo?" I called anxiously and a small voice called up to me.

"Don't worry Kagome. I'm under the boxes. I turned into a trolley like I said before." I squatted down and sighed "How did you do that?" "I'm a kitsune. Now please get going, my head is starting to hurt." He squeaked back up to me.

````

I had been pulling the boxes muttering curses at the vague reply Myoga had given me forgetting all about my fear when I heard snarls and barks coming closer. I stopped dead in my tracks going white while I heard a little pop then thud when Shippo had transformed back and hopped on my shoulder.

"What's that?" He squeaked timidly. "Grab my arrows Shippo." I whispered out of the corner of my mouth and Shippo jumped off my shoulder and grabbed my arrows off of one of the boxes where I had set it when we had started off.

He came back and handed them to me but didn't get on my shoulder since I was already shaking way too badly. The pairs of eyes I had seen earlier showed up surrounding me in the forest not blocking the path.

I saw Shippo start trying to edge away past the eyes but a hash laugh sounded. "Silly little fox. My dogs can run faster than you escape, and those silly little bow and arrow won't work at killing me or my pets." At that I dropped the set as if he had commanded me too in his voice.

Little teardrops formed on my face and that must have triggered something since the harsh voice got a tad softer "Don't cry. We won't kill you if you leave now!" I could tell now this voice belonged to a male since it was so deep, rough, and masculine but it seemed much more different than others.

I wanted to speak but was too petrified to move from my spot just like Shippo. I finally managed out a squeak. "Who are you? And why do you want me out of here so bad?"

The man laughed again and was accompanied by mocking howls. While he was finishing off his fit of laughter two of the five other eyes started moving and they then took shape as they blocked the path and got into the moonlight.

It was easy for me to see them much more clearly than when they were in the trees. The two creatures turned out to be huge dogs with tan and brown mixed in with black. Their eyes glowed iridescent yellow and pearl white fangs glittered maliciously in the moonlight from those descriptions I really thought they were Rottweilers.

I looked back to where the man had stopped laughing and it was quiet but the eyes were still there bearing down on I then they started to move out of the shadows and a big tall figure started to take shape like with the dogs.

I wanted to faint right then and there but my body was stiff with fright. On his face sat a satisfied smirk, his hair was magnified in beauty by the moon surrounding his head like a halo making it shine like newly fallen snow and him like an angel. His hands where stuffed into the other sleeve of his red haori. *Two dog-ears sat on the top of his head with simple dignity but his eyes were what caught my attention. They were bright and golden but something about them caught my attention, they seemed sad and tortured or something but I couldn't quite place it.

He sneered and waited for me to talk, when I didn't he went on and said, "You just wait little girl. I don't like humans and neither do my dogs, I'm surprised they aren't attacking you and shredding you to bits. You also surprised me when you didn't leave and came in here at night when everyone knows that is my prowling time. It's been a long time since a human has taken me off guard. Oh well since my dogs won't kill you it won't matter if I take your life with my own claws." I wanted scream and run but two reasons stopped me, the two softly growling dogs one on either side of me. I was about to go with the screaming until a voice floated through the air making the guy scowl.

"Inuyasha stop! She is under my protection." A figure floated into view and Inuyasha glared at the misty figure that now looked like a squat old lady with an eye patch over one eye. "What do you want now wench?" The old lady brushed passed the dog to my left and came up to me then put her hand on my shoulder looking towards Inuyasha.

"You can't hurt her. She is under my protection." The old lady repeated. "Why?" He demanded while I just gaped at them both like they were nuts, not knowing what to do except wait. I glanced at Shippo and saw he was as stiff as a board while the dog to my right sniffed him. "You know why Inuyasha." She retorted.

The old lady looked at me not taking her hand off my shoulder. "You must be wondering what's going on but it will all come together soon so don't worry your pretty little head." Then finally taking her hand off my shoulder and walking over to Inuyasha who had been muttering threats the could make any nun faint. He stopped when she pulled something out of her sleeve and slipped around his neck. Two other dogs jumped out of the shadows barking furiously at her making me move back and bump into a tree but the old lady just looked at the dogs and said, "Shut up boys." They stopped barking but they created a loud growl from within their throats that sounded like an earthquake.

Inuyasha tried to pull off the thing off but it wouldn't come. "What did you do bitch?" He asked while struggling with the necklace type thing. "Those rosary beads won't come off." She turned toward me and smiled motherly, "Now child I think you should rest and don't worry about all this. Everything will clear up in time." That's all I remembered before blacking out and crumpling down to the ground.

`````

I felt warmth on my face as the sun's rays hit my face. I didn't want to open my eyes but I heard a voice calling my name and opened them reluctantly. When I finally focused I was in the house on my couch with Shippo sitting on a stool.

When I sat up I rubbing my head, which was throbbing horribly. I thought and hoped that all that had happened during the night was a dream until something nudged the hand that was helping me sit up.

I looked down to see two very friendly yellow eyes looking up at me. I immediately recognized what the eyes belonged to and gave a short screech, but then saw its stubby tail was thumping the ground and its tongue was lolling out while one of his ears was perked up. He looked so comical than I couldn't help laughing.

I finally went back to why I was in my house. "Shippo, how did I get home?" I asked forgetting to ask about the dog even though I was scratching the dog's ear. Shippo bounced on my lap. "Lady Kaide had Inuyasha carry you home though he didn't seem too happy about it and then she had the dogs bring home your boxes. He left ten hours ago but Iggy here didn't want to go. It's odd how at night they're so scary but once they get used to you they're really nice."

"Oh. Lady Kaide must have been the woman who stopped Inuyasha from killing us. But why did he want to kill me?" "We want to protect our old master's memory from people who could harm it and he sort of found you a threat." Said an unfamiliar voice.

I looked down at Iggy who had a doggy kind of a smirk on his face. "Did you just talk?" I asked straightening up like a board. "Yes, oh and sorry about the first night you were here when I scared you. It's been our routine for around fifty years." Iggy barked happily.

"So why didn't you kill us in the forest?" I asked still trying to straighten out my thoughts. This was all too much for my mind to take so I pretty much kept asking the same question. Why did people want me dead? But as far I knew those dogs and Inuyasha were trying to protect a memory and the dogs were really friendly.

"I thought you could maybe bring our old Inuyasha back and so did my sister, Lucy, and two brothers, Xander and Vitus. Every since Mickey Irazi** died Inuyasha has changed and it worries us. He used to be so nice and happy but now he acts like all the world hates him and he hates all of it." Iggy explained and as if he had read my mind he answered my next question.

"Mickey Irazi was a nefarious and retired gangster, my brothers, sister, and I were has only companions until Inuyasha washed up to shore infront of this house. Since Inuyasha was never excepted before this was heaven on earth for him. As soon as Lucy met Inuyasha she treated him like her pup, teaching him how to take care of himself and all that. We were raised together here so this was the only place to call a home, once Master Mickey was murdered we decided that we would preserve his memory forever and not let anyone stop us from still taking care of him even in death. Inuyasha was only ten at that time, as he grew older so did his hatred of the human kind until one day when he turned 23 he met an old priestess's ghost. Her name was Kikiyo and she was Lady Kaide's elder sister. She saw Inuyasha's avid hatred and put a curse on him that until he could find love in a human lady we all would be cursed to live forever and stay the way we were without changing a bit." Iggy finished giving a doggy smile at Shippo's and my dumbfounded faces.

Then I realized something "So how could I bring back your old Inuyasha if all he has to do is find love?" Iggy looked me over with the utmost calm them spoke again. "He used to never hate humans but since they killed Master Mickey he's grown in anger. The curse did not make him retain the anger he did that by himself you just have to break through the wall he's built around himself. It might be hard but you're a strong person." "What makes you think I'm a strong person?" I asked. "Well you didn't run when we attacked the house. And do you remember when last night when Lady Kaide put those rosary beads around Inuyasha's neck?"

I nodded stiffly. "Those bind him to you and they also stop him from going very far away. He can't go passed the cemetery so expect a visit from him tonight. Plus those beads also allow you to talk to my sister, brothers and of course me." Iggy said and waited for me to respond but when I didn't he flopped down beside the couch and in lest than two seconds he was out with a light snoring.

I looked down at Shippo and saw he was asleep too.

I did that and Ellen thought about sending me to the nuthouse.)
