InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Snow White and the Seven 'Dwarfs'...Sort of ❯ The Vortex ( Chapter 12 )

AN: Hey, me again with another chapter. I can't believe it, 957 of you have visited my story!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! That number is almost big enough for me to forgive you all for NEVER REVIEWING!!!!!!!!! Anyway, since I'm not taking votes for the Kouga pairing anymore I was thinking about my plot and if I really wanted Kikyo to fall in love with Inuyasha. I mean come on; I want the guy to suffer a little but its just torture to let Kikyo fall for him in my opinion. Then again, how image how crushed Kikyo will be when Inuyasha turns her down! So, should Kikyo fall in love or lust with Inuyasha? I may totally ignore your votes on what I should do and go my own way, or follow what you ask. Here's a quick word to the reviewers I haven't said anything to yet and then the new chapter.

 

Demoniccrusher- Hey, thanks so much for the review, it's like asking people to give up a kidney or something when I ask them to review. I'm really happy you rated my story that high, and that you like my fic that much! Thank you so much.

 

 

 

Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha in anyway, but I was wondering if I could just borrow Sesshourmarus's Tensiga for a little bit because I was thinking since it gives people life and all, maybe it could get rid of my acne? It's not that bad, just between my eyebrows for some reason, and getting rid of all the annoying little pimples would be giving me my life back because I won't have to waste so much time washing my face to clean it and all. Hey, maybe I could bring my goldfish back to life while I'm at it.

***Kagome***

 

My laughing finally controlled, I walked quickly and quietly down the hall to my room. I couldn't remember what time it was, if it was still noon or night, I had no idea and could care less. As I got closer and closer to my room, where the book was I felt like this strong…Kami I don't know how to explain it, like a vibe that was telling me I needed to see the book now. I had no idea why I was feeling this way, if it was important, or even if it was safe to feel this way, I needed that book. I made it to my room, and pulled the book out from under the mattress. I sat down with a soft thud and opened it to the inside cover, and ran my fingers over it until I felt my instincts to push here and the little flap popped open. The papers and their binding hadn't been disturbed; the white circle looked the same as it had been before. With a trembling finger I slowly reached out to gently touch the circle.

And I got sucked into a huge vortex.

 

***Inuyasha's Room***

“You mean to tell me Kagome's a strong, untrained miko who's so clueless she doesn't even know she has powers?”

Sesshourmaru nodded grimly.

“And she's can destroy this whole kingdom if she doesn't learn how to control her power?”

This time both Sesshourmaru and Miroku nodded.

“What? You think I was born yesterday or something? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard, you bastards!”

 

***Kagome***

 

After I was sucked in the vortex, I guess I got knocked out because when I woke up, I was lying in a clearing in woods that would look more familiar if the area around me was about 36 years older. I stood up and looked around, trying to figure out where I was. It felt like the forests I had played in as a kid, but it wasn't at the same time. I tried to take a few steps forward, but I ran right into something. And since I can't have anything easy nowadays, the stupid force was invisible. I stepped back and kicked at it with my foot, and watched as a blue light ripped up and down from the vibrations my foot caused. I sighed in annoyance, sat down and leaned against a tree, saving my strength since I had no idea where I was or who had set up that barrier. I sighed again, resting my head against my fist. I was here only like five minutes and I'm already bored out of my mind. I sat up straighter as I heard hoofs pounding furiously from somewhere south of me. A rider appeared in rich clothes, long brown hair, sitting on a handsome black horse. He was a couple yards away from me so I couldn't see his face clearly, but from the way he held himself I could tell he was someone of high ranking.

And an insane demon was hot on his horse's heels.

The demon was a bird Youkai, his eyes a bloody red, his mouth foaming like a dog when they get rabies. His feathers were matted with dirt and blood, hiding a blue that could rival the sky of its color. His talons looked like he had tied the sharpest daggers he could find to himself and then dipped them in red paint. Which of course was really blood from some poor animal or even human. He gave an angry scream and dived toward the man, but he quickly jumped off the horse and rolled off somewhere to the side. The bird stopped mid strike and glanced around looking for the man, his madness making him slower. He spotted the man as he tried to inch away and he dived down, ready to make a clean strike and kill him quick when a woman wearing ancient armor appeared out of nowhere and shot a blast of something out of her hands at it. At first I didn't understand what she was doing when it hit me. She was miko, blasting purification blasts at the demon. The bird demon yelled in pain when the blast met his skin and changed directions to head toward the miko .He flew straight at her, but she didn't even blink. She just drew a sword out from behind her back and sliced its head off when it was close enough, her sword so full of her power you could see it rising off of it. I'd never seen anything like it before in my life. Not that I had really lived long enough to see anything like it, or even go anywhere to see something close to what had happened here, but you get my point. The woman replaced the sword down her back, shook her hair out, and walked toward the man on the ground. She helped him up the ground and bowed low to him.

“My King Nobunaga. I hope you are all alright my lord.”

I gasped. That man was my father! But who was the woman?

“Please, I can't let such a deed as yours go un-rewarded, what's your name?”

The woman lifted her head proudly to my father,

“My king, I do not take any from those I help, and I could never ask anything from my king, no matter how many times I may save you.”

“Please, at least give me your name.”

“Fine. My name is Midoriko.”

I almost screamed. That woman was my mother! Oh Kami, where did you send me? And then it hit me. My father and mother were standing right over there, right in front of me. My mother, long dead, I could get to know her, my father, I could be with him again. I shot to my feet and tried to go through the barrier. I pounded my fists against the barrier and screamed as loud as I could to them,

“Mama! Papa!”

But they didn't hear me. I doubt they even saw me.

At least I know what the barrier's there for.

I leaned back against the tree, greedily looking at them. My father, young, proud, the new ruler of our land looked different from the father I knew. My father had wrinkles, silver and black hair, and had a problem with his leg. This Nobunaga had no wrinkles, jet-black hair that reached his shoulders, and no problems with his leg yet. But both of them had the same dark green eyes that you could see miles away. I wonder why I didn't see them earlier. And then I turned to look at my mother. Kaede was right, I looked nothing like her. I couldn't see how anyone could look as beautiful and powerful like my mother was. Long black hair fell in waves nearly to the middle of her back. She had red lips and a strange marking on her forehead that made her look even more beautiful then she was. I couldn't believe I had come out of such a creature. I shook my head and brought myself back to their conversation.

“Please, isn't there anything I could give you?”

“I'm afraid not my king.”

“My king!” My father groaned turning around to face an old man racing towards them on a horse, trailing another one behind him.

“My king, are you alright?”

“Yes, I'm fine.”

“Thank Kami my king! Now, if you please my king we must get back to the castle.” He said tossing him the reins to the new horse.

He mounted up and looked back down at my mother.

“I will find some way to repay you.” He promised.

She smiled. “I'm sorry my king, but there is not much more that I want then I already have.”

“What is it? I'll give you anything.”

“I'm afraid you can't give me what I want my king.”

He smiled at her. “Don't worry I'll find a way.”

He turned his horse around and started to trot away on it. My mother was about to turn away when she noticed her shoulder guard was loose. She paused, fixing it and looked up after him with a puzzled look on her face as she tied her shoulder guard. My father turned to look back and met her eyes.

I could have sworn I saw electricity light up between them. She gasped and he looked shocked. They stared at each other until my father turned around a bend in the road, my mother still staring after him. Then I was jerked upward, back up the vortex.

 

 

“Kagome, wake up please!” a voice called to me, shaking me.

I opened my eyes slowly, trying to figure out why I felt so warm and safe. I saw a red-white blur until my vision cleared and I saw Inuyasha staring down at me, concern all over his face. He was cradling me in his arms, almost like I was a baby. I blinked, confused. When had he gotten here?

“What are you doing here?” I asked tiredly, not even trying to get out of his arms.

“I said I was getting food for you since you didn't get dinner remember? And since you left my room I had to come find you here. What happened to you? Kami, you look so cold and pale.”

He drew my blanket up around me, grimacing at its lightness.

“I swear to fucking Kami, when your birthday comes around, I'm giving you clothes.” He muttered. He brushed away some of my hair off my face with a claw.

“Now explain why I found you slumped against the wall, passed out, and a book on the floor?”

“Oh Kami, where's the book?” I asked panicking.

“Calm down, it's on the table.”

I looked over and it was right where he had said it was. I sighed in relief, the book was safe, and my parent's story was safe. He stroked enough hand across my forehead.

“What happened?”

I moaned, “Kami Inuyasha, do I have to tell you right now? I'm so tired, and it's so long, can't it wait till tomorrow?”

He sighed. “Fine, now eat your food.”

He carefully moved me so I was sitting up, but leaning against his chest so I didn't have to support myself.

“I can sit up by myself.” I grumbled half-heartily, wanting to argue but not wanting to move.

“Feh, to bad. Eat your soup, it's still warm.”

He carefully lifted the bowl of soup onto my lap, and I slowly ate it, but my hand was trembling and spilled a lot. I couldn't even hold the chopsticks for the rice properly.

“Shh. It's alright, I'm here.” He took the chopsticks from my trembling hands and slowly fed me.

When I finished, he let my headrest against his chest a bit more, but then he carefully stood up with my still in his arms, and laid me down on my bed. He pulled my blanket up and was about to leave but I stopped him.

“Thank you for everything Inuyasha.”

“It's fine Kagome. It's kind of nice taking care of you when you aren't snapping at me.” I smiled at him and my instincts went on over load. Something bad was going to happen. I may not see Inuyasha for a while. I swallowed.

“Inuyasha? Will you stay will me tonight?”

His eyes widen and I hurried to correct what I had said.

“I mean like just hang around until I'm asleep?”

He hesitated, but nodded and climbed in next to me. It was a tight fit because my bed wasn't the biggest, but it was all right. He pulled me tight to his chest and brushed a kiss against my temple.

“Goodnight Kagome.” He whispered.

“Goodnight.” I whispered back.

And with Inuyasha wrapped around me, I fell asleep.

 

 

I sat up carefully watching Kagome after she fell asleep. Kami she's beautiful. I drew her closer to my chest, wanting to stay a little while longer with her. It was then I promised myself I would do anything to protect the woman lying so innocent in my arms.
