Chapter 6: Was It Something I Ate?
Inuyasha awoke the next morning to a stomach ache. Being that he was not recovering from an abdominal wound at the moment, he was a little confused. He didn’t normally suffer from stomach aches. Even going without eating for days would not produce one, but, given that mating season was close at hand, maybe his instincts were trying to tell him something. Whatever that was, though, he had no idea.
The idea of asking someone crossed his mind but was quickly rejected. He highly doubted Myouga would be of any help being that he was not a dog demon himself, and there was no way he was going to ask Sesshoumaru. No, he would be on his own to discern the cause, again.
Deciding that eating something might help, Inuyasha jumped down from his perch and landed next to Kagome who was making breakfast. “You hungry, Inuyasha?” she asked looking at him out of the corner of her eye.
“Feh,” Inuyasha responded, crossing his arms inside his sleeves.
Kagome took that as an affirmative and handed him a bowl of some sort of stew. With a mental shrug, he swallowed it in one gulp. It tasted alright, but his stomach still hurt the same. Seeing as it wasn’t helping his problem any, Inuyasha declined the offered seconds. It’s not like it was Ramen anyway.
He decided that a walk might help him get rid of his stomach ache, or at the very least, give him time to think of a new possibility for why he had it in the first place in peace and quiet. By the time he had finished eating, everyone else was awake and they were all talking incessantly.
As he got up to leave, he heard Kagome ask him where he was going and made an excuse about doing a brief patrol of the area while they ate. When no ‘sit’ came, he assumed she wasn’t going to get upset about it and disappeared into the trees.
Inuyasha had not gotten very far on his ‘patrol’ when he suddenly felt incredibly sick to his stomach. With a heave, the stew that he had just recently eaten found its way onto the ground at his feet. Now he knew something was wrong. He had not been ill since he was really little.
The only possibility he could think of was that he had gotten poisoned at some point. It would explain the upset stomach and the pains. But, he could not remember having gotten poisoned in a recent battle. They had fought a few youkai in the past week, but none that were poisonous.
With the exception of the stew they had today, everything they had eaten so far on this trip had been from Kagome’s time. But, if it was poisoning in the food, his companions would have fallen to it long before he would have.
Inuyasha tried to remember if he had eaten anything that the others had not. He thought long and hard about it, coming to the conclusion that he had not. Now he was really at a loss as to why he was sick.
Even more confusing, he now felt really hungry. But not hungry for just anything, oh no, he wanted rabbit. Without giving it serious consideration, he quickly found a rabbit and killed it. Before he realized what he was doing, he had already skinned and eaten half the rabbit, raw. The human side of his brain was completely disgusted, but, surprisingly enough, the demon side of his brain was quite pleased with the meal. In fact, after finishing the raw rabbit, his stomach felt oddly better.
Glad to have that out of the way, Inuyasha quickly made his way back to camp, writing the whole incident off to mating season approaching. A lot of weird things always seemed to be going on right around this time. What was one more?
The group had just finished eating and was in the process of packing up the campsite when Inuyasha returned. Inuyasha strolled right into the middle of the camp and declared that they were leaving.
At this point, Kagome decided to bring the fact that she needed to go back home for tests to Inuyasha’s attention. “I have to go home and take more tests, Inuyasha.”
“What?! You just went home, wench. You have a job to do here! You can’t just run home whenever you feel like it!” Inuyasha screamed, pissed that she was trying to do this again. It seemed that every time they got anywhere, they had to turn back around so she could go home. It was damn frustrating. That, combined with how he was feeling over the approach of mating season put him in a rather irritable and argumentative mood.
“I told you yesterday that I had to go back home. If we start back towards Kaede’s village now, we’ll reach there in time for me to go take my tests. I’ll only be gone three days, promise,” Kagome said with what she hoped was a persuasive smile.
Everyone in the group knew that, no matter what Inuyasha did, Kagome would just go back like she wanted to anyway, but Inuyasha refused to give in so easily. “Listen, wench. We don’t have time for you to go back and take these te-ests of yours. Every day you spend at that skool of yours is one more day we could have been looking for Naraku lost!”
“Look, here, Inuyasha. I have to go home and take my tests. We are going to go back to Kaede’s. Now!” Kagome had given up on trying to be nice about it. If Inuyasha was going to be pig-headed about it, so was she. “Oh, and Inuyasha? SIT! I am not a wench!”
With that, Kagome stalked off in the direction of Kaede’s village, leaving an Inuyasha sized crater in the ground behind her. The rest of the group decided this meant they were leaving and began to follow Kagome. They knew Inuyasha would catch up with them, no problem.
Well, normally it wouldn’t have been a problem, but Inuyasha was having a lot of trouble today; a lot more than he should have been having. With that ‘sit’ he had found his stomach ache back again. Figuring that what worked the last time would work again, Inuyasha quickly sniffed out another rabbit and ate it. He immediately felt better again.
He hoped this new fondness for raw rabbits did not last for the entire mating season. If it did, all of Japan would find itself at a great risk for losing their entire rabbit population. There wouldn’t be a rabbit to be found anywhere and it would all be his fault.
Hoping that no one noticed how long he had been gone, Inuyasha ran to catch up with the group. Just as he thought he had made it back with no one noticing, he heard Kagome ask, “Where were you, Inuyasha?”
He folded his arms up in his sleeves and offered her a, “Feh.” If she wasn’t going to listen to him about not going home, he wasn’t going to explain to her where he was. Besides, he really didn’t want any of them knowing about this new little weakness of his.
“Come on, Inuyasha. Tell me,” she asked again trying her doe eyes.
“Yes, Inuyasha, where were you?” Miroku chimed in. His face was looking a little red and he probably just wanted to redirect attention from whatever lecherous activities he had been participating in moments ago.
Despite the knowledge that the monk was only trying to get out of his own trouble, Inuyasha wasn’t actually angry at him. So, the hanyou gave a response, directed more towards the monk than Kagome, but if she wanted to think he was answering her, he didn’t really care. It might keep him from getting ‘sat’ again and having to go eat more rabbits. “I heard something and went to check it out. No need to bring all you weak humans with me.”
“SIT!”
‘On second thought, maybe not answering had been the better idea,’ Inuyasha thought as he felt the stomach ache returning with the pull into the ground. As he resigned himself to having to find and eat another rabbit, he felt a shift in the feel of the air.
It was a shift he associated with higher level youkai and he could tell by the others reactions that they could feel it too. He could not find the scent of the youkai which meant that it must have been coming towards them from downwind. Facing that direction, Inuyasha drew tetsusaiga and prepared to fight. Stomach ache or not, he was not about to back down from a challenge.
He heard the others ready their weapons behind him when he suddenly caught a whiff of the youkai’s scent. “Sesshoumaru,” he growled out. He could hear the gasps behind him and wondered why his older brother had chosen now to come see him.
He had no more time to wonder as Sesshoumaru was upon them a moment later. “Sesshoumaru! What are you doing here?!”
“Well, little brother, you’re looking as despicable as ever,” Sesshoumaru said coldly, walking toward the group.
“Answer the question, damn it!”
“Such language. Although, I suppose I should expect nothing better from a half-breed such as yourself. You are a disgrace that has gone too long unanswered. I am here to correct this oversight.” With that, Sesshoumaru drew tokijin and came at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha easily parried the blow. “You’re getting slow, Sesshoumaru!” he taunted as his brother came around with a second blow.
“I am plenty fast enough to defeat the likes of you!” he responded, shifting the angle that tokijin was coming around at faster than the human eye could see. He managed to nick Inuyasha’s arm this time, but Inuyasha swung tetsusaiga around quickly enough to prevent a more serious wound.
This time, Inuyasha retaliated. He jumped straight towards his older brother and swung tetsusaiga, aiming for the breast plate Sesshoumaru wore. Seeing this, Sesshoumaru moved out of the way and countered with a swipe of poison claws over his younger brother’s back as the momentum of the swing pulled Inuyasha forward.
Inuyasha felt as if everything was moving in slow motion. He knew he was going to miss his blow seconds after he had begun the swing, but the momentum of the swing was too great for him to stop it prematurely. He had figured to just take the strike from his brother and braced for the pain.
When he felt the acid from Sesshoumaru’s claws burn into his back, it seemed to be a culmination of all the problems he had been having today. All of the sudden, the stomach ache, which had never dissipated after Kagome’s ‘sit’, came back to the forefront of his mind full force.
It was 100 times worse than before. The pain was excruciating. He couldn’t help it. He knew he would look weak in front of his elder brother, something he was loath to do, but he found himself falling to his knees anyway. The last thing he heard was Sesshoumaru saying, “You are the slow one, half-breed,” before his world turned to black.
* * * * *
Well, that was interesting. My first attempt at a fight scene. What do you think? Good? Bad? Indifferent? Yes, I realize it was short, it was supposed to be. Inuyasha blacked out in the middle of it. It couldn’t have been too long.
Once again, thanks for reading and reviewing. I really appreciate it. You guys make my day.
