Chapter 8: What? How Did I Get Here?
He was lost in the black nothingness. There was an aura of warmth surrounding him, but he could not tell where it came from. Despite the uncertainty, he felt safe and protected.
Something in his mind was telling him that this place meant him no harm. Not being one to go against his initial feelings about things, he did not allow himself to get worried.
As he mindlessly drifted along, odd thoughts came to him. They were thoughts of a home he had left almost two centuries ago and promises of a new home to come in the future. They were thoughts of a family that had been torn apart only to be brought back together.
Images of his mother, brother, and his traveling companions floated in and out of his view as he went along. Some were memories of the past while others appeared to be memories of things that had not yet occurred. In his current state, he was not concerned about how he could be seeing the possible future.
From where he drifted, he looked over his life as an outside observer. He knew the beginning and he could see paths down which his life might go meandering before him like a river that had divided into many small streams. He had a decision to make soon; a very important, possibly life-altering decision. He saw where the different paths might lead. Some led into the light, others led into the dark. He could feel the choice standing before him. He knew he desired to walk the paths of the light, but he could not determine how to make it so.
He heard a voice whisper to him, ‘Make the right choice, child. Follow what is in your heart. It will never lead you wrong.’
‘How can I make the right choice if I don’t even know what I am choosing from?’
‘Do not worry about such things, little one. When the time is right, you will know. Do not fight your destiny; it will only cause you further pain and torment.’
For some reason, he felt that this voice could possibly give him answers to his current condition. With this thought in mind, he asked, ‘Do you know what’s happening to me? Why has my stomach been hurting and what’s with the rabbits?’
He heard a slight laugh. ‘Put your concerns to bed, young one. There is nothing wrong with you. I don’t know why you want rabbits in such numbers, but I am sure it will all make itself known in time.’
He was sure that this voice knew more than was being said. As such, he felt himself slipping out of the lethargy he had been in and insisted, ‘There is more to it than that. I haven’t had a stomach ache since I was very young. Now tell me what you know!’
He could feel the warmth surrounding him again; it was pushing him back into his previous state of contentment. The voice replied, ‘I am not here to answer all of your questions. I am only here to help give you a push in the right direction.’
‘Which direction is the right one?’
‘You already know. Now, child, you have to go back.’
‘But I’m still confused.’
‘I know, little one. When the time is right, you will no longer be confused. Remember, follow your heart, it will not lead you wrong.’
He felt the words fade away along with his memories of what he had seen. The warmth he had been feeling fled as the darkness made way for light. He could hear his companions talking in the background. As his senses came back into the real world, he took a sniff. He would know that smell anywhere, they must have brought him all the way back to Kaede’s. He wondered how long he had been unconscious for. They had still been a good day’s walk away when he had fought his brother.
Now knowing where he was, he mentally took inventory of himself. His stomach ache was still there, but it had gone back down to a mere annoyance instead of the overwhelming pain he had felt before. He idly wondered if he would be able to go get a rabbit to sate his stomach. Everything else seemed to be just fine.
He slowly opened his eyes, a little surprised when the light did not hurt them. He must not have been unconscious all that long then. “He’s awake!” came a too high pitched and chipper voice. Shippo, his mind supplied.
“How are you feeling, Inuyasha?” asked Kagome.
“Fine, wench. Now, what happened?”
“Sesshoumaru struck you with his poison claws. You fell to the ground in what appeared to be great pain and then passed out,” responded Miroku. “Have you no idea why?”
“Yeah, you normally don’t fall that easily,” Shippo added.
“How long was I out?”
“Half a day, Inuyasha,” answered Kaede as she entered the hut. “Do ye have a headache? How are ye wounds fairing?”
Inuyasha furrowed his brow in confusion. “How did we get back so quickly? We were well over a day away.”
“After you were hurt, Kirara decided she was well enough to carry us again. With her flying, we made it back in no time,” explained Sango.
“Are you hungry, Inuyasha?” asked Kagome. Without waiting for a response, she had already begun making ramen for him.
Not thinking, Inuyasha responded, “No, thanks, Kagome. I’m not in the mood for ramen right now.” At this, all activity and noise in the hut ceased. As one, they turned to stare at Inuyasha. Getting annoyed, he looked around at them and demanded, “What?!”
“He must still be suffering from whatever made him pass out,” Kagome said, almost to herself.
“Oi, wench! I’m right here and I’m not suffering from nothing!”
“Maybe Sesshoumaru has a new kind of poison, one that idles the brain or something,” Sango mused.
“Possibly one that stops the appetite,” added Miroku.
“I know of no such youkai poison,” contributed Kaede. “Although, he may be in possession of a type of poison I have not yet treated.”
“Hello! I’m right here! Stop ignoring me!” There was no response. Seeing that they were intent on ignoring him, Inuyasha decided to ignore them. As they continued arguing amongst themselves, he turned his mind back to how he was going to get a raw rabbit to make this stomach ache go away.
He couldn’t ask any of them for help. They might be able to get him a rabbit, but they would most likely not let him eat it raw. Besides, look what happened when he passed up ramen. Just imagining the questions they would raise over his request was enough to give him the headache Kaede was asking about earlier.
However, he really did need to get that rabbit. The stomach ache was getting worse the longer he waited. Finally, unable to stand it any longer, he began to slowly scoot himself towards the door. The rest of his companions were so caught up in their discussion over his supposed problem that they did not even take note of him moving.
After what felt like a lifetime during which his stomach ache got increasingly worse and the voice in the back of his head telling him it needed a raw rabbit got increasingly more insistent, Inuyasha found himself near the door. With a speed that would have made Sesshoumaru proud, he shot out the door and into the woods before his friends knew what had happened.
Within a minute, Inuyasha had found a nice rabbit and devoured it. His stomach felt a little better now, but, apparently, he had taken too long to get the rabbit for he now felt as if he needed another one. He quickly found and ate one more and the stomach ache went away completely.
Feeling much better, Inuyasha jumped up onto a tree branch. He didn’t really feel like going back and answering their questions right now. It was nice having people around to talk to, but sometimes they just cared a little too much about things that should really have been of no concern to them. They also tended to get rather pushy when they were curious.
He knew they only worried about him, but worry wasn’t what he needed at the moment. He just needed time to himself for once. In all honesty, he wasn’t feeling up to talking to the others at the moment. Actually, a nice nap sounded good. Without thinking on it further, Inuyasha allowed himself to fall into a light sleep. Maybe he would be ready to face them when he awoke.
