Chapter 6
"Eep." The scream was caught in Kagome's throat. The fully demon Inu Yasha looked around the room with his fiery red eyes.
"Where is that bastard?" Growling in his throat never ceased.
"Inu..Inu Yasha? You’re under control?" He stopped the growling, and turned to her with a look of confusion creeping across his visage.
"What are you talking about? Where is Naraku? When did we get back here?" He was glancing all around.
"Look." Kagome stated, and pointed to his hands. He looked down and gasped at the elongated claws that adorned each digit. He put both hands in front of his face and examined them a little more closely.
"But, but, how?" There was fear behind his red-curtained orbs.
"It was Naraku, he put six jewel shards inside of you, but instead of being under his control, Midoriko's spirit emerged from within you. Apparently, you are her reincarnation, and now we have to get those shards out of you before something really bad happens."
Inu Yasha took in this information, and considered it for a moment.
"That would make sense, I've always had a feeling that someone was sleeping inside of me, but I always figured that it was my demon blood. At least now I know that it was Midoriko's restless spirit. It makes a lot of what has gone on in the past few months a little easier to understand.
“Her spirit mixing with the shards is probably what is keeping me under control in this form." He flexed his arm and cracked his knuckles. He then sniffed the air.
"I can even smell blood without wanting to spill it myself. Hmm. Sango must have caught on to Miroku's little act."
"What? You knew about that?" Kagome was the one to be surprised now.
"Of course, so what did he slip and say to expose himself to someone else?" He smirked at the thought of what Miroku had said to him before they left.
"Actually, it was Midoriko that did it, and of you're smelling his blood, my guess is that Sango is taking out a lot more than anger on him." She half laughed, half worried over the trauma that her friend was most likely going through. "I hope he'll survive this one."
"Most likely, but I thought that he was supposed to be kept safe for a week." He seemed a bit concerned.
"Actually, Midoriko healed him before she fell asleep. I guess when one spirit is sleeping, the other awakens." She placed her finger to her lips in thought. There was still a lot to get used to.
"Then that must mean I only have about a day to be like this. You know Kagome, though I do have a little more control than I usually do, there is one urge that I am just unable to ignore."
Her eyes grew wide as he came towards her. A rascally glint appeared in his eyes as he turned his back to her.
"Get on." he smiled back to her, but it looked a little more like a snarl due to his enlarged fangs. Kagome just stared with her mouth wide open.
"Well, are you going to climb on or will I have to put you there? The brat is asleep, the others are definitely busy, and I have only have an unknown amount of time to do this.
Kagome could not argue with him on any of those points, and she was definitely curious as to what he was talking about. So, she did as he told her.
Once out of the village, he picked up speed and careened through the dense forest.
"Where are we going?" Kagome asked. She was pressed tightly against his back, and her eyes were shut. He had never gone this fast before, the speed at which the trees raced by had begun to make her sick. After what seemed like a few minutes, he came to an abrupt stop.
She opened her eyes and climbed down from his back. He grabbed her hand carefully, and led her to what appeared to be a large moss-covered boulder.
"This way." He reached for the moss, and revealed the boulder to be a cave. He gently tugged her hand, and they entered the darkness.

Sango dragged Miroku into the hut by the collar of his robes, and threw him onto a futon. She put her boomerang away, and collected the first-aid supplies.
As she was heading back to the monk, she took a quick look around the room. She saw Shippou asleep on the floor, but her other companions were most definitely gone.
'Where did they go?' she thought, but shrugged it away. She figured that Midoriko had already awakened, and Kagome must have used this as an opportunity to talk to the ancient priestess. She let out a sigh and sat down next to Miroku.
"You know what I think?" Miroku's voice came out in a ragged whisper. "I think you get-off on watching me bleed."
"What?" The comment had caught her completely off-guard. Miroku struggled a bit, but was able to sit himself up.
"Why else would you beat me up so much?" He did his best to grin as Sang struggled for a response.
"If you weren't such an evil lecher, then I would do it as often." She turned from him smugly.
"I believe that is nothing more than your excuse." He pointed out to her. "It is my opinion that you do this just so you can fix me up afterwards. In short, you like taking care of me, and whenever you do something like this to me, it gives you an excuse to get close without revealing your true feelings." He smiled at her, his teeth being the only thing still intact on his face. She turned to look, but abruptly faced her back to him.
“Or, maybe you need some sort of release when it comes to your feelings for me and that is the only way you can think to do it. If you gave me a chance, I’m sure I could help you find a much better way to deal with it.” Sango bristled before shouting.
"That is not even close to being true. I beat you this time because you were just so mean. That was a very evil thing for you to do, I don't think that even Naraku would stoop that low." Miroku coughed and grabbed Sango's shoulder. She was surprised when it did not travel, and turned back to look him in the eye.
"I'm sorry, but if you would let me explain, I didn't want to see you get hurt." His eyes were sincere and Sango saw something she rarely saw from within him. Truth.
"What do you mean by that?" She was still unsure of the meaning in his comment.
"I knew that I could do nothing to help you, since I had to heal for a week. I thought that by playing the victim of memory loss, I could keep my pride from not being able to do anything."
That is when it dawned on her. 'He didn't want to be out there with us. If he had gone and seen me hurt, I think it is more than his pride that would have been broken.' She smiled and love welled up in her eyes. Sango just reached out and hugged Miroku. Sadly, she had bruised his ribs in the previous beating, and he passed out from the pain.
"Oh, sorry." she whispered, then placed him gently on the futon. She turned back to the first-aid kit and began dressing his wounds.

Inu Yasha led Kagome through the cave until they came upon a chamber lit by a faint glowing moss that covered the roof.
"What is this place?" She looked around in wonder.
"Well, in simple terms, this is where I lived before I met Kikyo. My den, you might say. I haven't been here in a long time. It's kind of a personal place, if you know what I mean."
Kagome nodded and continued to take in the wondrous glowing moss that was around her. "I didn't bring you here to ogle the lichens." This statement held many emotions under it and Kagome picked up on each one.
"Do you think that this is a good idea?" She asked. "I thought you had control of this form."
"That's just it, I do. This feeling, this need has been around since I've gotten to know you. Everything is stronger in this form, including my feelings for you." he leaned towards her and took her lips with a vigor and force that she could never even imagined.
So much flowed through the kiss that Kagome knew the driving force behind it. Love. Not the kind of love shared by the cheerleader and a football player in the backseat of a car after winning the state championship. No, this was definitely different.
This love was one that held care and need. The caring to give what was wanted, but the need to take what was desired.
He entered her lips with his tongue, and began to stroke her own with it. He was begging for her to taste him just as he was doing her.
At first, the act surprised her, but she relaxed into it and allowed her body to do as it pleased. She pushed his tongue out of the way and allowed her senses to take in every part of him. He tasted of everything forbidden, and she was wanting to reap of that tree.
She pulled away to breathe, and he began to travel. He started licking her jaw line, and a shiver traveled down her spine. She gasped in pleasure, and he made a move.
He wrapped his arms around her, and in a single move pulled her close and placed her gently to the ground. The floor of the cave was strangely soft, and enveloped the two lovers.
He moved down to her feet and removed her shoes, then her socks. He gently took her left foot into his hand and began sucking teasingly on each toe. Passion spiked throughout her body.
'How did he know that would effect me that way? Or did he just have some kind of foot fetish?' Either way, she didn't care. All she knew was that no one has ever managed to make her feel like this. Not that she really had the chance for it to happen either. She bit down on her bottom lip as he switched feet. Once finished there, he trailed his tongue up her right leg. She felt that she knew where this was headed and braced herself, but was surprised when he stopped mid-thigh and came to meet her face to face once again.
He leaned in and nibbled on her ear. She realized that he wanted this to be as important for her as it would be him. He breathed gently into ear and began to remove her blouse.
She let him do as he wished and awaited what it was he planned next. Once he had removed her top, he took off his coat.
He grabbed her hands, and placed them on his undershirt. She took the hint and removed his top as well. She massaged his bare chest a bit before he leaned in hard and fast. His hand was grasping his chest and he was breathing hard and his eyes widened in pain. He stood up and stumbled backwards in an agonizing manner.
When his back hit a chamber wall, he slid down until he was in a seated position. His bangs now shadowed his eyes and he began to howl in agony.
Kagome sat up not caring that she was only in her bra and skirt. She stood and ran over to Inu Yasha. When she reached him, he turned his face to her. Kagome looked at the white globes in front of her, and her own eyes filled with a bit of sadness. Midoriko noticed this, and quickly took in the scene around her.
"I didn't interrupt anything, did I?"
Kagome walked back over to the pile of clothes and numbly dressed herself. Then, she picked up Inu Yasha's garments and handed them to Midoriko.
"I do apologize, I had no clue that he would reawaken while I rested, but there is a reason that I have returned." Kagome turned to the apologetic spirit.
"You didn't see anything, did you?" Midoriko shook her head.
"I saw nothing. Though, on another level I can sense thought, I am mostly aware of the body, or to be more specific, the status of the shards within the body, but I do not wish to upset you further.
“As I was saying, Inu Yasha's awakening caused an adverse effect on the shards." Kagome's eyes grew wide.
"Is that why he....." Midoriko dressed as she spoke.
"Most likely, not only did his demon blood cause them to become slightly tainted, but he began to absorb them faster.
“With me in control the process is slowed slightly. My best guess to as why is that my spirit is that of a full human, so I have no demon powers to mingle with the shards.
“Again, I apologize for any damage that I have caused upon my return, but it was most urgent that I do so."
With the both of them fully clothed, they exited the cave.
"Why do you keep apologizing, you said yourself that it was the shards driving his actions." Kagome still held a pang of regret in her tone, but at the same time she was rationalizing the situation.
"Well, that may not be entirely true, even though we are unaware of each others actions, we are aware of our dreams and thoughts. He struggled when I tried to emerge."
"Was that why he was grasping his chest?"
"Possibly, but even though he is being suppressed, he is not happy about it. Currently, he is having a dream about getting rid of me in a rather uncivilized manner so that he can be truly alone with you."
"But I thought that it was his instincts being amplified by the jewel."
"This time it seems, the jewel merely broke down the barriers that kept his true feelings from you." Kagome just nodded with little understanding.
Once the entrance to the cave was reached, she stopped and looked around.
"Um, I hate to say this, but I don't know where we are, or how we got here. I kind of had my eyes shut the entire time." Midoriko shook her head.
"Just because I am a long dead spirit does not mean I cannot use a body. I still have a few of his senses, I am just not as experienced with them." She sniffed the air, then her Inu Yasha's coat, then Kagome. "Interesting."
"What?" Kagome asked.
"Two things, from what I am comprehending of smell, the two of you came from the west. The other thing is, well, when I took in your scent, Inu Yasha calmed down within me."
"Really?" Kagome was full of one word questions.
"There is not time to sit and discuss the many aspects of our current arrangement. Now, I believe that I can get us back, but it would require me carrying you. Would that be too awkward for you?"
"Whatever it takes to get everything back to normal." Kagome climbed on to Midoriko's back and they headed off towards the village.

Miroku had managed to regain consciousness, but this time he did have some memory loss. Too bad it was the hug he had forgotten, and not the beating. Now, he was refusing to talk to Sango.
Their commotion had roused Shippou, and this caused him to become their little messenger.
"Why won't you speak to me." Miroku's back was turned to the girl. He then turned to look at Shippou.
"Please tell that beauty over there that I do not wish to speak to her because she beat me into unconsciousness."
Shippou walked over to Sango.
"Miroku says..."
"You were still conscious when I brought you in, it was...something else that made you pass out." Shippou looked to the both of them and wandered back to Miroku.
"Sango said....."
"Tell her that is not what I remember. Besides, if it were not the beating, what else could have caused such problems." Shippou shrugged and Walked to Sango, he opened his mouth to speak, but it did no good.
"Does it really matter what it was?" She screamed. She did not want to tell him because she was unsure of what his reaction might be. By this point, Shippou was beyond frustrated.
"Oh, fuck you two!" He quickly covered his mouth realizing that he had let that slip.
Miroku stood and turned around to look at the blushing kitsune. Sango gave Shippou a blank stare that soon filled with anger. Anger she unleashed on the unsuspecting monk.
"You taught him that didn't you?" Sango roared.
"Me? I am one with Buddha, I do not use such language. You know that it was probably Inu Yasha."
The two argued back and forth each comment being worse than the last. Shippou relaxed and turned from the feuding couple, and gave a shrug.
"At least now they're talking to each other."
"Eep." The scream was caught in Kagome's throat. The fully demon Inu Yasha looked around the room with his fiery red eyes.
"Where is that bastard?" Growling in his throat never ceased.
"Inu..Inu Yasha? You’re under control?" He stopped the growling, and turned to her with a look of confusion creeping across his visage.
