Chapter 8) Inuyasha's introduction to the grav field

At god tree. Not far from the village~

Inuyasha was so bored. It had been 4 days since he had last seen his grandmother and although he had known were she went, him and everyone else had been threatened with bodily harm if they went looking for her. Now looking out of his favorite spot on the god tree, he had to admit to feeling like he would go after her and be dammed the bodily harm. At least he would have something to do.

Suddenly he was blown over, almost off his limb, as a massive gust of wind rolled over the forest. Getting a better grip, he hoisted himself back up to his sitting position and looked out into the forest where the wind had originated from. Suddenly he had the sneaking suspicion it was Lina's doing. She had gone off into the forest in that direction, and the last time something had happened to him unexpectedly, it had been due to her. Feeling the need to check the phenomenon out, Inuyasha set off in the direction Lina had taken to the North.

After a few moments travel, he approached what appeared a row of warnings tacked with an unknown substance to several trees. He read the message with a quirked eyebrow, This is a warning: NO TRESSPASSING! Trespass past this point and may you feel the crushing blow long after you leave this area a smarter person, well what a weird message. Smelling it he detected his grandmother's scent and knew something was up. Walking cautiously past the warnings he strode no more than ten feet before he came across a barrier line in the forest floor. It looked like Lina's handiwork. The slightly curving line pulsed a golden yellow in contrast to the green grass below his feet. Curious, Inuyasha felt the line, but as his finger crossed it, it suddenly felt like it was weighed down by a rock. Looking up and more curious than ever, he extracted his finger and stood, bracing himself for only the gods know what, he stepped over the line.

Immediately he fell to the ground and with only the utmost force, could move. His entire body felt weighted down for some reason, like a bolder much like the one Kagome had made him drop on himself, was pressing down upon every square inch of his body. After a time and with exquisite slowness, he inched on his belly, back over the line. Each part of him getting seriously lighter as he crossed the little yellow line until he could stand again. Gasping with fatigue, he realized what the crushing blow in the warning meant. He hoped this was just a deterrent against whatever Lina was doing. Looking up he wondered how far up the force went.

(You will find out later anyway, but the grav. Field goes all the way up to space. So not even Naraku will fiddle with them while they are training. So don't expect any battles until after they train.)

The training area~

Lina looked up during her preparations. She felt Inuyasha's youkai and knew the force of the barrier had brought him here. Going outside of her lodge, Lina looked around and went off in the direction to the south that she felt Inuyasha.

Running with no hurry in mind she went into the trees, as to surprise Inuyasha, when she came upon a surprise of her own.

There on the forest floor not thirty feet from her was Inuyasha, diligently crawling for all he was worth, only half over the barrier line. Lina had to stifle a laugh at his predicament and decided that it might be better to use a small spell on him and Sesshomaru before bringing them into the training area. Just so she could get them into the main lodge before they felt the affects of the grav they were to be training in. It would really suck to not be able to see their reactions to there soon to be living space while they were struggling to even get into bed. Maybe she should even put a spell on each lodge so they would have a place to rest from the extra gravity after training. Deciding that this was a good idea, she hurriedly went back and wove the reverse incantation into the supporting rails of each structure before leaving again. Taking little time to do this, she was back by the time he was standing and looking quite puzzled at the yellow line of the barrier wall.

Walking up to him out of the brush, Lina smiled indulgently. "I see you've encountered my new barrier. What do you think of it?" Lina crossed her arms, and stood in a pose frighteningly like the one Inuyasha currently stood in.

"What the fuck was that anyway?" Inuyasha asked in a huff.

"This is a grav field. Basically it will increase the gravity of any area I put it on. As much as I want or as little, depending on the occasion." Lina replied walking up to stand directly across from Inuyasha, but still in the barrier.

"Is it just a deterrent? Or how wide is it really?" Inuyasha asked suspiciously.

"The field is a full mile and a half in length. I shooed all the living creatures out of the area that couldn't take the gravity first. I will explain a lot later about why it is here. Do you know where your brother is?" Lina explained and then asked with a questioning face.

"Last time I saw him, he was in a field to the south of the village with the little girl of his. They set up camp and Jaken is still mad at you by the way." Inuyasha said with a smirk.

"Ahh yes the lovely Jaken. How we must make him happy. First his master is kidnapped and then he cannot complain about a little girl he tolerates. Then he finds out that his lord will do nothing about his insecurities. Humm I wonder if your brother still likes daises like he did when he was a little thing?" Lina said with sparkling eyes the whole way through. Chuckling at the look of utter amusement at the last part that rang through Inuyasha's expression.

Lina grinned to herself in amusement. Inuyasha was getting more confident in the last few days she had been around. Maybe it was the unconscious suppression of Kagome's anger Lina was doing currently or the almost non existent sits, or maybe the knowledge that he was going to learn something new, or even maybe the knowledge that he was going to be better than his brother at something (Remember in the earlier chapters about how he has more potential to learn. Well this is a reference.) for once. Whatever it was, Lina liked the change in her grandson. Every man needed to be able to at least have a little confidence in himself somewhere.

"He actually "liked" daises when he was little. The flowers?" Inuyasha asked, trying not to laugh.

"Now Inuyasha, be good, I know a few embarrassing things about you too from when you were a pup. Don't laugh unless you want to be laughed at." Lina warningly told Inuyasha, trying to fight back a smile.

"Yeah, but you know his little girl Rin?" Inuyasha questioned.

"Yeah." Lina haltingly replied.

"She is always making daisy chains into crowns for Sesshomaru's head or puts them into his hair, or something like that. I've caught him once wearing one and Rin is always talking to Kagome lately about how her Sesshomaru-sama just "loves" her crowns for him." Inuyasha laughingly said touching his hand over his heart and dramatizing little Rin's part.

"Ok, Ok we need to get going you." Lina indulgently said as she stepped over the line. She tugged at one of Inuyasha's ears gently. Invoking the spell that would allow him to get to the lodge without the weight of the grav as she tugged. Turning, both Lina and Inuyasha made their way back to the village, while Lina had to fight down the image of a stone faced Sesshomaru with a white daisy crown and daises braided into his hair with a little Rin running around. Lips twitching madly Lina tried to not get too behind while her mind wandered over that little tid bit.
