Manifesta tion of the Inuyasha Doll



Chapter One


A Revelation





Kagome kept her eyes plastered on the strange looking boy. Well, not strange in a bad way…just odd. She had never seen a boy with a mass of long silver hair before. Or those eyes…those strange, amber eyes…

Her eyes unintentionally scanned him, amazed at how gorgeous this phantom boy was. She couldn't believe how anyone could be so flawlessly beautiful and not seem to give any care. His arms protruded from the sleeves of his torn haori, revealing strained muscles as he pushed against the table.

The boy smirked at her then, gradually, he got off of the desk and moved towards her. Kagome blinked and backed away. Her heart began to pound in her chest...pounding louder and louder. It became so loud; she could hear it in her ears. She wanted to say something…anything! Scream! Call for Mother, Souta! Anyone! Still, her wretched larynx failed to produce her voice.

Now he was looking at her, or through her. She didn't understand why.

Is there something in my teeth? Kagome asked herself, reaching to pick at her teeth. The boy continued to look at her…his eyes…so intimidating, so threatening, and so tenebrous that it irked her. Okay…maybe it's not that…

"Go away!!" Kagome wanted to shout, but it came out in a croaked squeak: "…goowwaaa-eee!!"

The boy ignored her and continued to trudge forward. He reached out to her. Kagome closed her eyes and shielded her face with her arms.

This is it. This boy's going to kill me. Good bye Mama, good bye Grandpa, good bye Souta…Buyo…Goshinboku…stupid classmates… Kagome found herself thinking. Her heart was racing and her breathing became erratic.

Nothing came.

No blow to the chest, or skin-searing came. Instead she heard struggling noises behind her. She was nonplussed.

"Gimme that you damn cat--shit! Ah, son of a bitch! The damn thing bit me! Stupid cat, I'll kick your ass! Cats don't fucking bite--what are you? A fucking hamster?"

Kagome turned. Wow, he managed to fit a swear word in each of his sentences. He was certainly special.

Who was this guy? She asked herself as she watched as Buyo and the magical doll boy struggle with the small stick. Buyo gave a feral hiss and scratched at the boy before he ran out of her room with the small stick in his mouth.

"Keh! Damn cat…" the boy muttered. He looked up at Kagome. Kagome stared back. Wait…I get it…this is from Sango-chan! She made up that whole "recycling material" thing just to give me this doll to make me feel better…

"Wow…I don't know if Sango-chan gave you to me because of the paint thing, but you sure are very realistic," Kagome said as she approached him, examining him.

"What in the seven hells are you jabbering about?" the boy spat petulantly.

Kagome pondered. Well…this doll is very rude! Maybe I have to train it. Hey!! Maybe it's one of those androids in sci-fi novels that help out during missions!

"Oiy wench."

Maybe he can help do my homework…clean my bedroom, feed and bathe Buyo, do the laundry, wash the dishes, take me to school, iron the clothes, make breakfast--

"Hey," he tried again.

Brush my hair, send my e-mail, buy the groceries, distract Souta, sweep the floor. Maybe he can even--

"Bitch wake up!" the boy yelled, snapping Kagome out of her day dream.

Kagome jumped. "Yes?"

"Who the hell are you?"

"Who are you?" Kagome returned.

"Inuyasha," he said cautiously.

"I'm K-Kagome…" she replied, still a bit jumpy.

The boy scoffed. "What a ridiculous name. Who gave it to you? That bastard cat?"

Kagome furrowed her brow. Why would Sango-chan give her something so obnoxiously rude? She decided to speak up. She wasn't going to keep quiet while this jerk made fun of her name.

"Excuse me, but my mother gave me this name! It's not like yours is any better!"

"Fuck you, you damn toad! Just tell me where the exit is so I can leave you alone!" Inuyasha growled.

By this time, Kagome was fuming. At the moment, she didn't care how he suddenly became bigger after removing a stick, or where he came from in the first place. All she wanted to do was get rid of him. She pointed towards the window.

Without another word, Inuyasha jumped out the window. Kagome's eyes widened. She really didn't think he'd do it! They were on the third floor!! She rushed to her window, but found that the boy called Inuyasha…vanished.

Kagome sighed and turned back to her desk. She paused, surprised to see a small Inuyasha doll on the ground.

"Wha-I…he was just--" Kagome began. She looked back towards the window. Didn't he just leave through that window? Was she imagining things?

Kagome tentatively took the doll in her hands.

"I'm not imagining…he yelled at me, attacked Buyo, made fun of my name, then jumped out the three-story apartment complex…" She continued to look at the doll, completely and utterly flummoxed.

Then, with a sly look in her eyes, she picked up the doll.

The shapeless light passing through the windows of the shinkansen was soothing, allowing Inuyasha to drift off to sleep. He didn't know where he was going, but he had to be away…away from where he could be sealed again. Away from that screeching girl Kagome.

He smiled to himself, he had stolen an unsuspecting business man's ticket and had waltzed in without being caught.

He closed his eyes getting ready to sleep.

So, you can imagine his surprise when he stood up.

"What the…?"

Passengers gave him a strange look as he walked down the gap in between the seats.

"Hi! I'm Inuyasha! I'm so cool, look at me!" he said, waddling back and forth. He placed his index fingers into his mouth and began pulling his lips apart. "Lalalalalalalala!" he said in the direction of a young boy. He watched as the boy began to cry.

Then wail.

"It's okay honey, we'll sit in the other car…" his mother said soothingly, eyeing Inuyasha as if he was a Russian spy.

Inuyasha looked around and watched as some passengers gave him an alluding, but clearly visible look of fear. In other words, they thought the boy was insane. Some looked him over. Even those museum-worthy clothes and that ridiculously dyed hair. Was it dyed?

The hostile staring continued until finally, it was over. He quickly walked over to one of the poles and leaned against it. Well, that was embarrassing.

Everything was fine and he felt as if he should be getting back to his seat until…

Unconsciously, he began knocking his head into the pole…repeatedly. He smiled nervously at the watchful eyes.

"Eh heh…I'm…just…exercising…" he attempted.

At the same time…


Kagome pulled at the doll's arms. Well, it didn't have that miniature arrow in it anymore. She looked around furtively and set the doll on her desk.

"Hi, I'm Inuyasha! I'm so cool, look at me!!" Kagome mimicked in a manly voice. She grabbed the doll's hands and put its fingers in its mouth so that the index fingers hooked onto the sides of its mouth. She pulled them back, stretching the mouth. "Lalalalalalalala!!"

Kagome knew that if someone saw her, they'd think she was completely insane, but she had a spark of indulgence in this childish play. Somehow, she found it enjoyable to control something that looked like that jerk.

"Jerk! You just made my day bad again!" Kagome said as she knocked the doll's head onto the table, repetitively.

Wow, she really needed to be around more people. Real people. The ones with organs and the ones who've gotten their shots.

She stopped a moment and looked at it. "Maybe I should tell Sango-chan about this…"

As quickly as she could, she grabbed a sweater and headed back to the Shizuma Kottouhinten.

"You WHAT!? Are you trying to give this old lady a heart attack?"

"I'm sorry Kaede obaa-san…I didn't know…" Sango said softly. "I thought you were planning on throwing it away so I just gave it to Kagome-chan to keep--"

"Sango dear…I was going to seal it forever…" Kaede said enigmatically.

"Seal it? It's just a silly doll--"

"This will complicate things…I should have told you from the beginning…"

RING!

The two women turned to the door. "We're closed!" Sango yelled.

"It's me! Kagome!"

Sango turned to Kaede. Kaede nodded, conceding. Sango quickly unlocked the door to the kottouhinten.

"It's that doll you gave me…it's strange really. I just pulled the little arrow out and--"

"You released him…" Kaede interposed softly. "He will wreak havoc and destroy anything-what is that around your neck young lady?"

Kagome touched her necklace. "Oh this old thing? It's just a present my grandfather gave me." The elderly woman walked up to Kagome and gently touched the orb. She examined it thoroughly before grasping it in her small hand.

"This is the Shikon no Tama!! That means that you are from the line of Higurashis…"

"Um…I guess…my dad was a Higurashi…so…I guess I am…" Kagome said thoughtfully, scratching her head.

"Kaede obaa-chan? What is the meaning of all of this? Surely, you're not speaking of that stupid legend--" Sango started. Kaede shot her a silencing look.

"That 'stupid legend' that you speak of happens to be very real. It happened 50 years ago. A hanyou by the name of Inuyasha had been sealed by my sister Kikyou, to be a doll for all eternity. While in that form, he can observe everything around him, yet ceases to feel. That little arrow used to be the size of an actual arrow, but had been downsized to fit the look of the doll."

"Did she hate him?" Kagome asked.

"Truthfully, the only thing I know of all this is that Inuyasha had been scheming with a demon named Naraku to get rid of my sister and use the Shikon no Tama to co-rule Earth. Three days after Inuyasha had been sealed though…my sister committed suicide. I was there the moment she left this world…I asked her why she had done it and she told me…she did it for love…"

"Love?" Sango and Kagome asked in unanimity.

"Yes…I didn't understand it then, and I do not understand it now…but besides that, this is how this doll came to be. But…now that you have released him, there is no way of finding him."

Kagome removed something small from her bag. Sango and Kaede followed the item with their gaze. It was the small Inuyasha doll that she found after the live Inuyasha had left.

"What's this then?"

The old lady's eyes shone a flicker of hope. "Oh! I have forgotten an important detail in all of this."

"And what's that?" Kagome asked.

"This," she said, taking the doll from Kagome. "This is a little black magic my sister had used. I'm sure you are familiar with it. It resembles voodoo. Yes…my sister was no fool. Even if someone were to release him, there would still be means of controlling him."

Before anything else could be said, the door burst open, causing wind to rush through, the lights to flicker, and papers to dance in the air.

"You bastard!"

Kagome's eyes were wide. "How did you find me?" she heard herself say.

"I followed your toxic scent," Inuyasha spat. He walked up to her, his fangs bared and his eyes narrowed. "Do you know what happened to me earlier?"

Kagome sighed. Somehow, she was no longer frightened. Just tired…horribly tired. "I don't know Inuyasha, but I have a feeling you're going to tell me."

"I was riding in your human 'shinkansen' (bullet trains) and I lost control of my own fucking movements! Then the bastard humans brought me out and said something about 'Tourettes' and a psychiatric hospital!" Inuyasha fumed.

"That's because you were being controlled Inuyasha," Sango said. Inuyasha turned to her.

"And…how the hell is that possible?" Inuyasha inquired, folding his arms across his chest.

"By a type of voodoo doll," Kaede explained. Inuyasha looked down at the doll Kaede was holding and took a step towards her. She shook her head. "But…the thing is Inuyasha, you can't touch it. It contains a barrier within it that allows everyone else to hold it but you."

"So…you mean to say…I'm being controlled by a stupid little human cow who happened upon my unfortunate self?"

"Hey!" Kagome exclaimed angrily.

"Shut up," Inuyasha growled.

"This little human will be watching over you from now on," Kaede said in a calm voice.

"I am?" Kagome asked.

"She is?" Inuyasha asked simultaneously.

"Yes. The reason being is that she released you. But of course this is only for the time being," Kaede said, seeing the look of disappointment on their faces.

"What'll you be doing for that 'time being'?" Inuyasha asked.

"I will be finding a spell book to bring you back--"

"No! Old woman, don't--" Inuyasha began.

"Inuyasha, you didn't let me finish. I will be finding a spell book to bring you back or release you if you do not cause destruction to our world."

Feh. That hag never understood what happened that night I was sealed…she'll never, ever understand…

But…for the time being, he was stuck here…stuck with her.

"Shh! Be quiet! Mama or Souta might wake up!"

"I'm being as quiet as I can wench!"

"Well it's not quiet enough!"

"Feh!"

"Shh!!"

Kagome quickly shoved Inuyasha into her room as she stumbled in after him. She shut the door and turned her light on. She leaned against her door for a couple seconds before sighing.

Today had been an awfully complicated day. With school, her new job, this strange hanyou…and now that story that her grandfather had told her was true…yes…it was awfully complicating.

She turned towards the hanyou sniffing around her room. She heard a loud growl. She realized it came from his stomach.

"Inuyasha? Would you like me to bring you some food?"

"No," Inuyasha said quickly.

"You must be at least a bit hungry. You haven't eaten in 50 years!" Kagome stubbornly pressed on, listening to the grumbling and churning.

Oh, he was hungry.

"I said I wasn't hungry!" Inuyasha snapped. Kagome shrugged.

"Suit yourself. I'm going downstairs."

Kagome quietly walked out the door and down the hall to her living room. She was really hungry. She still couldn't believe how rude he was. She was trying to be nice and offer him some digestive nourishment and he turned her down as if eating in her house was a right, not a privilege.

Hm…she'll show him. If he wants to eat any time soon, too bad, it's his loss.

She grabbed a couple Saran Wrapped sandwiches inside the refrigerator and poured herself a glass of milk. She sat quietly at the dinner table to contemplate.

She unconsciously looked up and noticed a figure standing there. She smiled.

"I thought you weren't hungry."

Inuyasha shrugged and awkwardly sat down next to her. Kagome handed him a sandwich. He wasn't all that bad when he was being deprived of food. She smiled and watched him from the corner of her eye.

This will be an interesting experience...









A/N: Wow, how long was that? Anyways, sorry to keep you all waiting! It was an accident! Honest!!
