Chapter 3: All I Do is Hide

I had woken the next day feeling empty. I was still laying on the floor as naked as the day I was born with my red fire rat coat covering me and the rest of my clothes lay beneath me soiled from the night be fore’s love making, if you could call it that.

I slowly sat up and saw that the bars were open and that I was free to leave. I reached up and explored my neck. I found the choker with the stone still in place as well as a healing scar shaped like three jagged lines. I stood up and slowly slid on my clothes, careful not to move too fast or the wrong way. It was going to be hell using the bathroom for the next few days.

I walked out of the barred area and walked until I was at the entrance of a cave. I stared down at a view of trees for as far as the eye could see. I decided that I would take my time and slowly climb and walk down off the mountain instead of my usual run and jump routine. By the time I had managed to reach the bottom it was late afternoon.

Tired and sore, I found a soft patch of grass beside a stream and sat down. I stripped off my clothes and went to the stream and washed them thoroughly. I hung them up to dry on nearby tree branches and then went into the stream and began to wash myself. I cleaned myself from my white ears and silvery hair to my chest and toes. Once I finished I settled on the soft grass and slept lightly. I occasionally had the feeling I was being watched but when I looked around, sniffed the air and listened nothing was odd or out of place.

When the sky dawned I dressed and continued towards what I knew as home. I happened upon a village by noon and by the afternoon I was wandering through the familiar farmland that lay before Kaede-baba's home. I slowed my walking pace and debated on whether to enter and act like nothing had happened. To act like I hadn't been raped by my brother and that we hadn't spent the night in each others arms. To act like the charm around my neck wasn't there and that the possibility I was now carrying pups was impossible. I decided it was best I wait so I wandered into the nearby fields and plucked a vegetable or two from a garden before I wandered into the woods and sought out my tree. The tree I had spent so...many years pinned to thanks to Naraku's scheming and Kikyo's arrow.

I jumped up and found a comfortable branch to settle on and then sat and ate my stolen vegetables in peace. When night fell I found myself once again in an uneasy sleep. The feeling of being watched nagged at me and once or twice I gave into temptation and glanced around the woods nervously, my nose in overdrive and my ears straining to hear any sound.

I stayed in my tree and slept horribly until a familiar and grizzled old voice called out to me.

"Inu Yasha! Do ye' plan to stay in that tree for another night or do ye' plan on coming down like a civilized being and joining us for breakfast?"

I looked down at Kaede and nodded and slapped on a large grin, "I'm coming you old hag."

She shook her head and smiled as she began a slow walk towards her home. I hopped down and winced. I wasn't aware a hiss of pain had escaped until I felt a calculating look in my direction.

"Did ye' get hurt in a fight or did ye' do something stupid?"

"Nothing I can't heal and that won't heal in a day or two, unlike you wimpy humans."

She gave another calculating look and then continued to walk. I followed her at a bit slower pace and when we reached her hut I could see Sango and Miroku sitting on the porch.

"Kaede's home and she's brought a stray with her," called out Miroku.

The sound of feet running on wood reached my ears and suddenly Kagome and Shippo were in the doorway followed by Kirara. Kagome looked surprised and relieved while Shippo looked happy and relieved. I watched as Kagome stepped down off the porch and I felt guilt and shame wash over me. I should tell her, I should tell them all but I'm not ready to just yet.

Kagome approached and I expected her to be soft spoken and sorry, but then again maybe that was more a wish or an ideal. Instead she started yelling and ranting about how irresponsible I was by leaving during a time when I was at my weakest. I heard her getting near the end of her speech and I began to worry. I knew what was coming and I closed my eyes waiting to hit the ground and have my sore body jostled.

When all I heard was silence I opened my eyes and saw everyone staring at me in shocked silence including Kagome. I decided that I had been humiliated enough so I walked past them and into Karede's hut. I saw bowls of rice set out with plates of grilled fish. I grabbed a bowl and a plate and ate quickly. I left my empty bowl and plate on the table and then grabbed an errant blanket and a cushion and placed the cushion on the floor against the wall in a corner. I saw my Tesusaiga and realized that I had been irresponsible because I had left my means of protection in Kaede's hut. I grabbed it and pulled it close. I draped the blanket over myself and fell into a peaceful slumber for the first time in four days.
