Chapter 17: Youkai Attack!

The next week was chaotic. Apparently there had been youkai attacks and sightings all over the place.

 

“Listen up kids!” The gym teacher yelled. “Evil youkai have been everywhere. Currently youkai exterminators are working on the job but they can only go so fast. That means you all must take extreme precaution. You hear me?!”

 

“Yes sir!” All of the children responded.

 

“Today, we will be doing some archery. It will help you focus and will also teach you how to use another weapon in case a group of youkai attack. Especially today. Now get moving!” He instructed.

 

All of the children scattered to get their bows and arrows from the equipment closet.

 

“This is stupid. I don't see the need for archery when I have my claws.” InuYasha complained.

 

“Oh, quit your fussing. I happen to love archery, thank you very much.” Kagome replied getting a bow and quiver full of arrows from the closet. “Yeah, whatever.” He grumbled.

 

Class took place outside where all of the targets had been placed. A child stood in front of each one.

 

“I hate this. I hate this. I hate this.” InuYasha chanted as he tried to shoot an arrow at the target and failed. “You know, the teacher's giving us instructions. Are you not paying attention?” Kagome questioned shooting an arrow at her target with ease.

 

“Oh, and you make it look so easy. And yet I can't… Do it!” He shouted in frustration, missing his target yet again.

 

Kagome sighed. “Just quit telling yourself you hate it and you can't do it. It will be your downfall.” She stated knowledgably.

 

InuYasha just stood there staring at the bow with hatred. Kagome sighed again rubbing her temples. “Do you want me to help you?”

 

He looked up at her and nodded. “Alright. At least you might actually get somewhere with this.” She stated walking over to him.

 

“Okay, so you pull back. Keep your arm straight, yeah there. Pointing your finger at the target helps. No, that finger. A little bit more to your left. Pull back a bit more and… GO!” With Kagome's instructions InuYasha shot the arrow. It wasn't perfect… But not bad either.

 

“That was good. You just need to keep practicing and you'll get a lot better.” She said with a smile. “Thanks.”

 

“No problem. I'll be over here if you need anything, okay.” Kagome chirped. “Okay.”

 

“What do you think the youkai want?”

 

“Beats me. I'd have to say that they're probably all just lower level youkai looking for more power. They're all crazy I tell you.”

 

“That sounds about right. They said youkai exterminators. That means Sango's dad is probably going to be fighting them too. Don't you think?”

 

“Yeah. I'm positive.” InuYasha agreed.

 

“Hey, let me see you try again. Without my help this time.”

 

“Fine.” InuYasha strung his bow and shot another arrow. It missed. “Damnit.” He murmured looking at the bow in his hands again. Kagome giggled. “It's okay. Like I said it takes practice… Lots of it.”

 

InuYasha rolled his eyes. “Sure, sure.”

 

Before they even knew it, gym was over and they had to go inside.

 

“Alright kids, before you go home today, I expect you to take a bow and quiver full of arrows with you if you're human. I expect the youkai children to be able to protect themselves with claws, fangs, etc.” The bell rang. “You are dismissed.”

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

“The whole youkai thing is crazy! They all appear out of nowhere, then `The youkai exterminators are currently exterminating them.' It's dumb.” InuYasha whined.

 

“Quit being a baby. They are taking care of it don't you forget. If I were older I'd be able to go.” Sango explained.

 

“How old do you have to be?” Kagome asked curiously. “Eleven. So only three more years.” She stated looking up at the sky. It looked like it just might rain.

 

They all carried weapons just in case they would need them. Sango had her Hiraikotsu, Miroku his staff, Kagome had the bow and arrows the gym teacher had told them to take, and InuYasha had his claws.

 

“Remind me again why we decided to walk home today.” Miroku said.

 

SLAP!

 

“YOU PERVERT! UGH! I DON'T KNOW WHY I EVEN PUT UP WITH YOU!” Sango yelled furiously. “It's always worth it in the end.” Miroku stated dreamily to himself as he rubbed his cheek.

 

Kagome and InuYasha sweatdropped. “Why do we put up with Miroku?”

 

InuYasha shrugged. “Don't know. The guy's really weird.” Kagome nodded in agreement.

 

“Are you guys ganging up on little old me again?” Miroku asked pouting.

 

“Yes.” InuYasha, Kagome, and Sango answered in unison. Miroku crossed his arms. “No fair.”

 

“No.” Kagome said her eyes going wide. Miroku looked up. “You're not ganging up on me?” He asked hopefully.

 

“No, you idiot.” InuYasha sniffed the air. “Youkai… And lots of them.”

 

“They're headed our way.” Sango stated grimly taking a firm hold on her Hiraikotsu. “What could they want with us?” Miroku asked getting out a few of his sutras he had written in class.

 

As if to answer his question a small group of youkai swooped down. “MIKO!” InuYasha easily cut them down with his claws. They all looked at Kagome. “Miko?” They asked in unison.

 

Kagome laughed nervously. “Yeah. Miko in training really. My powers are dormant and I still need to learn how to control them apparently.”

 

“So they're after your dormant powers. That's it?” Sango asked. Kagome nodded. “I guess. Have you guys ever felt like we need to grow up a lot faster than we're supposed to?”

 

“Well duh. Of course!” They answered. “I need to start fighting higher level youkai at eleven, we're fighting youkai right now, and I'm only supposed to be training here.” Sango said smacking some youkai away with Hiraikotsu.

 

“I'm still training to be a monk don't you forget. I do have some spiritual energy but it's limited since I'm so young.” Miroku explained throwing some sutras at youkai, turning them to ash.

 

“Man, we're just lucky these are low level. Any higher and we'd be screwed big time.” InuYasha stated a matter-of-factly slicing through more youkai.

 

Kagome started to shoot youkai with her arrows. When she shot one it was surrounded by a purple light. Kagome's eyes went wide. “What was that? T-That's never… Ever happened before.”

 

“It must be that your powers are awakening to protect you.” Miroku checked inside his robes. All of his sutras were gone! “Well I guess I'll just have to use my staff.” He grabbed his staff and started to play baseball with the oncoming youkai.

 

“Where the hell are all of these things coming from? There's got to be a limit to them because we can only handle so many.” InuYasha currently had the youkai's blood on his claws. Hey, I guess I can try this out now. “BLADES OF BLOOD!” He screamed as red blades flew at oncoming youkai slicing them to bits. “Oh, sweet!” InuYasha shouted victoriously.

 

Kagome's arrows were getting dangerously low in numbers. Oh no. This isn't good. “Guys! We can't separate! We have to be closer together. I'm almost out of arrows!” Kagome cried.

 

“She's right. If Kagome runs out of arrows she'll have no way to defend herself. If we get closer together she'll only have to attack if we miss some.” Sango explained getting closer to Kagome. “Right!” The boys agreed getting closer to Kagome as well.

 

“HIRAIKOTSU!” Sango screamed throwing her boomerang at far off youkai that were headed towards them.

 

A youkai was headed towards Miroku who was quite busy with other youkai. “MIROKU!” Kagome shouted shooting an arrow at it. “Thanks Kagome!” Miroku said gratefully.

 

“No pro-“ OH NO! That was my last one! “I've got a problem!”

 

“What?” Her friends inquired. “No more arrows! I'm all out!”

 

“Damnit! You would think they would stop after awhile of getting their asses kicked by four eight year-olds!” InuYasha yelled in frustration cutting up yet more youkai.

 

“We've got to make a run for it! We'll never last out here just fighting them like this!” Sango pointed out. “If Sesshomaru were here I don't think we'd have a problem!” InuYasha stated.

 

“Sesshomaru?” They asked in confusion. “Yeah, he can kick ass when it comes down to it. Personally I'm getting really tired here.”

 

“I agree with InuYasha. Let's get out of here!” Miroku shouted starting to run. The others following closely behind.

 

“I don't know how much longer I can keep going.” Kagome pointed out wearily.

 

“Come on Kagome! Just a bit further!” Sango encouraged.

 

“Oka-“ Kagome collapsed. Her body couldn't take it. “KAGOME!” Her three friends screamed looking back at her. They quickly came back to her side. “Kagome, wake up!” InuYasha yelled shaking her.

 

“It will do no good InuYasha. Kagome must have used up too much of her powers. Basically, she's drained. She's so exhausted that she fainted.” Miroku explained whacking more youkai.

 

I'll protect you Kagome. Don't worry. InuYasha thought getting up and defending his fainted friend. “IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER!” InuYasha screamed slicing through a group of youkai. Kagome's friends were all surrounding her. Sango at the left, Miroku at the right, InuYasha at the front, and… No one at the back! There was a spot that was unprotected.

 

Speaking of that unprotected spot, a large group of youkai was headed in that direction! “KAGOME!” InuYasha yelled jumping to protect her from the youkai. But there were too many, a few got to him. “INUYASHA!” Sango and Miroku shouted.

 

“Don't worry about me. Protect Kagome.” InuYasha commanded from the ground. Sango and Miroku looked at each other and went back to fighting. Now they had to protect themselves, Kagome, and InuYasha. This was not good.

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hanyou? You there hanyou? What? Who's there now? Oh my god! Am I dying?! No you idiot. I'm preventing your death. I won't let you die. Oh my god! I'm going crazy! And then I'm going to die! Haven't you talked to the human?

 

Human? You mean… My human thoughts? Yeah, yeah. Those things. Well, I'm your youkai thoughts.The human thoughts said you were pushy. Damnit. I'm gonna kill that pathetic little…

 

Well… What exactly do you want? Actually I think it's more of a matter of what you want. Don't you want to save your friends? That girl? Kagome, Sango, and Miroku? Well of course I want to save them. InuYasha could hear a strange cackle. Then let me take over. I'll save them for you. And… I'll save you too.

 

I don't know. You're kinda creeping me out here. Just trust me. Well, how can I be sure? I said just trust me! Hey, don't yell at me. I don't like it when scary people yell at me. I'm not scary. For the love of… Just TRUST ME. You'll save Kagome. Yes. And the others. Yes. And you won't hurt them. YES! YES! YES! O-Okay.

 

InuYasha's small body began to pulse. “InuYasha, what's wrong?” Sango asked feeling this unusually strong pulsing. She got no response, except more of the ominous pulsing. “InuYasha?” Miroku tried to get his attention again. This was starting to freak them out BIG TIME.

 

InuYasha finally got up. The pulsing had disappeared. “InuYasha?” Sango and Miroku asked in unison. A low growl ascended from InuYasha throat at the sight of still more youkai headed for them. He leapt forward and easily tore through them. InuYasha had gotten faster and, as it seemed, stronger in only a few moments.

 

Miroku and Sango immediately rushed over to Kagome. They needed to get her out of there. They picked her up and started to run for the nearest house.

 

Kagome started to stir. “Hm? Guys? What happened?” She asked. Sango and Miroku heard her and put her down on her feet. “We think something's wrong with InuYasha.” They said at the same time. “What do you mean?” Kagome looked over at InuYasha. He was fighting off the youkai. It didn't look like there were many left.

 

He shortly finished all of them off and turned to Kagome, Sango, and Miroku. They were shocked at what they saw. Instead of InuYasha's normal golden-amber eyes they were blood red with blue irises. He had a light purple stripe on each of his cheeks. His claws had grown longer and sharper and his fangs were so long they couldn't completely fit in his mouth.

 

“InuYasha…” Kagome started taking a step towards him. A small smile curled his lips. She's okay.

 

His claws and fangs receded, his eyes returned to their normal color, and the stripes receded from his cheeks. Then InuYasha collapsed. “INUYASHA!” All three of his friends came running to his side. “Is he okay?” Kagome asked putting her hand on his forehead.

 

“We'd better get him inside.” Miroku said as it started to rain. “Now we'd all better get inside. Let's go.” Sango stated. They all picked him up and started to lug him back to his house. Hopefully his brother would be there.

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

InuYasha was slowly starting to drift back into consciousness. He could hear voices.

 

“You think he'll be alright?”

 

“Yeah, I'm sure he'll be fine. He did manage to not get a concussion from Sango's boomerang, remember?”

 

“Hey! I said I was sorry.”

 

“No, it's just if a human were to get hit on the head that hard they'd probably have a concussion. I'm just lucky you don't hit me on the head that hard.”

 

“You deserve a concussion for the perverted stuff you do with those things you call `hands'.”

 

“HeHe. Well I can't help it, you're just too beautiful.”

 

“…”

 

“Well that was a nice way to end an argument.”

 

InuYasha groaned and propped himself up on his elbows. He opened his eyes and looked around the room he was in. It was his room.

 

“Oh, you're finally awake. Are you feeling better?” Kagome asked with a warm smile.

 

“Yeah, I'm fine. You're okay, right?”

 

“Yes, we're all okay.”

 

SLAP!

 

“Some better than others.” Sango growled. Kagome sweatdropped. “Miroku I think you might want to stop doing that… For your sake. Sango could kill you, you know.”

 

“It's worth the pain.”

 

“Okay. Well, what happened back there?” Kagome inquired turning back to InuYasha.

 

“I'm still not really sure. The last thing I really remember is when you guys came running towards me and then I blacked out.” InuYasha answered.

 

“Your eyes were red.” Sango pointed out.

 

“You were stronger and faster also.” Miroku added.

 

“It sounds like InuYasha's youkai took over.” A calm voice said from the doorway. Everyone in the room turned to the doorway.

 

“Sesshomaru?” They questioned a bit surprised.

 

“That's strange. InuYasha's life must have been in danger or he was trying to protect you three.” He explained.

 

InuYasha slowly nodded. “Yeah, I think that… Sounds right.”

 

“You're youkai only comes out if you have an extreme urge to live or extreme rage, usually. I'm a bit surprised it came out to only protect your friends.” Or… His mate. Ah yes, I see. Why didn't I think of that before. InuYasha is still quite young so… Maybe friends take place of a mate in that situation.

 

All four friends looked at each other and then back to Sesshomaru who had been quiet for a few minutes. “Uh… Sesshomaru?”

 

“What?”

 

“You kind of zoned out there for a minute.” InuYasha stated raising an eyebrow.

 

“Oh, well anyway I suggest you all stay home until this whole youkai business is taken care of. Bye.” With that he walked back downstairs.

 

“Your brother can be very strange.” Miroku pointed out nodding his head. “I know.” InuYasha agreed. “Do you think our parents will even let us stay home?” Kagome inquired.

 

“I'm sure they will. Considering your brother suggested it,” Sango pointed to InuYasha. “Kagome and Miroku are human, while my parents are the youkai exterminators themselves.”

 

“Good point.”

 

“We should probably be going home now.” Miroku said looking out the window.

 

“Yeah.” Kagome and Sango agreed in unison. Sango and Miroku got up and left but not before saying bye to InuYasha.

 

“You sure you're feeling better?” Kagome asked. InuYasha rolled his eyes. “Yes, yes I'm fine.”

 

Kagome giggled. “Okay, bye. See ya later!” With that she caught up with Sango and Miroku that were waiting at the front door for her.

 

InuYasha smiled. I'm just glad she's alright. Those youkai were after her. I have honestly no idea what I'd do without Kagome.
