Scene 6 ------------------------------------------- Two Days Later
* After being taunted by Sesshomaru's voice every time he's tried to sleep in the past two days, Inuyasha's mood becomes more and more touchy. He also finds himself becoming more and more agitated by the scent that continues to surround the village. Today he is again trying to drowse on his favorite branch until his ears catch the sounds of an obvious battle going on to the south. He feels his demon side urging him to go investigate, but he resists it. The struggle is starting to pain him greatly. With an angry growl he hops down from the tree and lands hard in a crouch. He is so disoriented that he doesn't even hear Miroku approaching him. The monk had been fetched by the man Inuyasha had almost landed on.
Miroku- Inuyasha?
* Miroku pauses when Inuyasha growls.
Inuyasha- Will you.. leave me... the h---.. alone!!?
* Inuyasha raises his eyes. When he sees Miroku he freezes. Miroku forces himself to stay calm as the hanyou's demon visage slowly fades away.
Inuyasha- M-Miro-ku...
* Carefully, Miroku helps Inuyasha stand. They both look toward the south when they hear a loud cry of something in obvious pain. When the roar is abruptly silenced Miroku feels Inuyasha tense and take a couple steps toward the sound. Then the voice returns to his dog ears.
(+) Sesshomaru- I am fine.
* Inuyasha relaxes and turns away with a huff, crossing his arms.
Inuyasha- Of course you are, ya b------!
* Miroku scowls at the hanyou.
Miroku- I am what?
* Miroku's voice once more breaks Inuyasha's contact with Sesshomaru.
Inuyasha- I wasn't talking to you!!
* They both feel the sudden approach of a powerful aura and turn to find Sesshomaru, blood-stained, standing near the southern entrance of the village. They watch him drop the head of a freshly killed lion demon on the ground. The white demon's eyes focus on Miroku.
Sesshomaru- Is that human the next one I need to contend with?
* Sesshomaru raises Tokijin toward Miroku. Inuyasha places himself between them, angrily postering.
Inuyasha- No! You don't have to continue any of this!!
* The bottoms of Inuyasha's feet suddenly begin to itch and he brushes them in the dirt irritably. Miroku glances downward puzzled.
Sesshomaru- You will come to the meadow to the west so that we may settle this then.
Inuyasha- I don't have to listen.. to...
* Sesshomaru waves his arm and his Alpha scent hits Inuyasha's nose. It causes the hanyou to sway. When he takes a step toward Sesshomaru, though, he catches himself. Miroku watches Inuyasha exert much effort in turning himself away from his brother. Sesshomaru calmly sheathes his sword.
Sesshomaru- You will come... Or you will continue to suffer.
* When Sesshomaru turns and leaves Inuyasha collapses to his hands and knees trembling. Miroku kneels to touch his shoulder. He hears the hanyou's quiet whimper of pain.
Inuyasha- I.. can't... I won't...!
Miroku- Inuyasha, answer me... Were you promised?
* Inuyasha's head snaps up to look at Miroku.
Inuyasha- What? -- Promised?
Miroku- To Sesshomaru...?
* Miroku sighs when he sees the confusion clearly on Inuyasha's face.
Inuyasha- What are you talking about?! My brother wants to kill me... But I can't.. fight him right.. now... He's put some kind of.. spell on me or... something!!
Miroku- You honestly don't know what your problem is?
* Inuyasha stands and moves away from Miroku's touch as it suddenly irritates him.
Inuyasha- Don't touch me!
* Inuyasha turns and begins to move away.
Miroku- Are you going to join us for...?
Inuyasha- I'm not hungry! Just leave me alone!!
* Miroku watches Inuyasha reach the sacred tree, look up at his usual branch, then sink to sit between a couple of its large roots. He loosens his fire rat robe as he begins to pant. Miroku shakes his head and goes toward Kaede's hut again.
