InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Truth Behind Their Eyes ❯ Lysi ( Chapter 13 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

"InuYasha, I need to go back. I already told you why a million times!" Kagome pleaded with the back of the stubborn man.
hanyou in front of her huffed yet again, then turned to her. "Well, I want to hear it again." He proclaimed.
sighed and looked up at him. The warm embrace they had shared only yesterday seemed to never have happened. InuYasha had returned to his cold, emotionless, difficult, self this morning, and seemed to have forgotten the event entirely. She sure remembered it though.

"The same as always! I need to catch up with my schooling, and spend time with my family, and..." She stopped, embarrassed to admit the last reason for her returning to her time.
caught the embarrassment and sneered. 'It's that boy.' He growled to himself. 'Not like I would even care. It's not like I love her or anything... Those feelings were only brought about by my being human. I was weak. All I need her for is the shards...' However, these thoughts were only half-heartfelt, something he dared not to admit even to himself.

"What else Kagome?" He growled mockingly, the sarcasm and anger dripping from his voice. "Miss your boyfriend ?"
eyes widened at the accusation. That wasn't her other reason for leaving! In all reality, she had completely forgotten about Kale...

"No." She huffed, turning slightly away from him.
snorted. "Yeah right! Don't lie! I know you can't wait to get back to him."
felt the anger seeping into her bones, and she turned back to him. He knew nothing!

"As a matter of fact, I totally forgot all about Kale!! So he isn't my other reason for wanting to go home. Even if he was, it wouldn't be your business!"
rolled his eyes. "Whatever Kagome. Just go. Return to your precious lover." With that, he turned to walk away.
gasped, then growled dangerously low. InuYasha stopped in his tracks, his ears cocking back as he glanced at her sideways. She never growled that way before, and he could sense the seething anger it held.

"Kagome?" He asked.
growled again, her hands in tight fists at her sides. Finally, she spoke.

"Like I said, Kale isn't my reason. Also, he is not my lover , just my boyfriend. And, if you Must know, Naraku is my reason for my wanting to leave, you-you... BAKA!!!" Kagome's voice had rose considerably while she spoke, until she shouted the last word in InuYasha's face.
grimaced at the mention of his mortal enemy's name, and only then was he able to pick up the slight smell of fear that was mixed in with her other scents.

"Naraku? Why?" He asked, walking to the now trembling girl. She looked up at him and hugged herself, her fear and anger being too much for her to control, and had resulted in her shivering. "Don't you think I can protect you?"
sighed and looked away, shrugging off her childish fear.

"Of course you could protect me, it's just that..." Kagome's gaze found InuYasha's, and she could see the worry and slight hurt in his eyes. "It's just that, I have this really eerie feeling." She finished.
huffed and turned his head away. "Please. Now you're just making up excuses to leave. There's no way you could sense something before I could, and I don't sense anything!"
rolled her eyes. "I am not lying! And I'm going home... I'll be back in a few days." With this said, Kagome turned to the well they had been arguing in front of, and climbed onto the edge.

"Stupid girl..." InuYasha muttered under his breath, watching her prepare to depart.
turned to him and smiled. "Bye InuYasha!" She called cheerfully, then jumped into the well.

lone figure watched the pair from a small ways away. Dark green eyes flashed as they watched the mysterious girl jump down the well. Apparently, the rumors had been true. This 'Kagome' truly was from the future. A small smile spread across the face of the owner of the deep green eyes. 'But for now, she is out of my way. And if she's gone as long as she said, I'll have plenty of time to claim my InuYasha...' In a flurry of black and gold, the figure was gone, before it could be sensed by the dog-demon which it watched. It was time to put the plan into action...

sighed and turned to retreat back to Kaede's village. He'd have to find something to amuse him for the next few days, while Kagome tended to her other life.
sighed as his thoughts again turned to Kagome's boyfriend. 'Damn him, he has no right to be with my Kagome... But why, then, don't I claim her, if I desire her so much? Maybe I'm just-'
was interrupted from his thoughts by a rustling in the nearby bushes, and sneered. 'Damn Miroku spying again. Wait-' He sniffed the air softly and was surprised to smell a demon. It wasn't a threatening scent, more like friendly. And oh so familiar... but before he could jog his memory, the scent was gone, and so was the presence of it's owner.

looked up from the pot of boiling stew she was tending to, when the shingles of her door were pushed aside. InuYasha came into view and she smiled at his disgruntled look.

"Kagome left again, I take it?" She asked softly.
looked over at her, annoyed at the mocking tone she took on, but in no mood to argue with the old woman. Instead, he simply answered her.

"Yeah. She'll be back in a few days." He stated simply, boringly looking at the food in the pot. "Is that done?"
nodded and handed him a heaping bowl of the steaming food. InuYasha took it gratefully, then sat and silently ate with the old miko. His mind absently wondering to the demon he had sensed at the well and his brow furrowed. 'Where do I know that scent from?'
pondered on the question until he finally decided that it was probably nothing important. 'Then why do I get so uneasy when I think about it?'

be perfect...' A petite figure slowly strolled up to a sleeping wolf pack. 'Just perfect...'

sighed lazily and glanced over at Miroku, who was, for once, doing something other than ogling over a pretty girl.

"Almost done?" She asked softly, crawling over to the kneeling monk. He nodded and plopped yet another slippery fish into the basket beside him.

"Only a few more, and we'll have enough for dinner tonight, and plenty to smoke for the next few nights." He finished his statement by throwing a fish at Sango playfully.
smirked slightly and dropped the wiggling creature into Miroku's basket.

"Alright then. Once you're done, we'll take them to Keade's hut, and her and I will start preparing them."
nodded, once again absorbed with his task. Sango started to crawl back to her comfy spot underneath a nearby tree, but was stopped by a terrified screech.

"What was that?" She asked, springing to her feet. Miroku was immediately at her side, his sleeves dripping wet.

"I'm not sure." He said, looking around. Another scream was heard and they both sprang into action.

"Sango, go get InuYasha! Tell him someone is in trouble! I believe it's coming from the nearby wolf den. I'll meet him there. Hurry!"
nodded, running towards the village without a word. Miroku quickly made his way to the wolf den he spoke of.

sighed and glanced over at the old woman. She was asleep in her corner, and he couldn't help but smile a little. She did so much for them, she deserved a nap. Besides, he could use a walk... He stood up and stretched, then stepped out the door. He wasn't but a few feet from the hut when he saw Sango running up to her, a worried look on her face. At first InuYasha thought something was wrong with Kagome, but then he remembered she wasn't there.

"What's up, Sango?" He asked as she reached him.

"Some- one's i-in tr-trouble! W-we heard screams!" She replied breathlessly. She took a deep breath, then looked at InuYasha. "Hurry! Towards the wolf den!"
a second after the words left her mouth, InuYasha was speeding towards the den.
took a few moments to catch her breath, then hurried after him.


"Help! HELP ME!!!"
quickly came upon the wolf den, and gasped when he saw the scene before him. A young girl sat curled up against a tree, shivering and whimpering for help. The source of her threat were the numerous snarling wolves surrounding her.
InuYasha was beside Miroku, but he didn't take the liberty to pause and study the situation. He quickly started slashing the wolves to bits without a second thought, the sound of his voice echoing through the area as he shouted "Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!"
instantly, the wolves were reduced to bloody carcasses. The girl looked up, only her eyes visible from the long robes that she wore, which efficiently concealed her body. They were full of fear, and she whimpered harder when she saw InuYasha.
sneered and flexed his hand, which flung the remaining blood from his claws.

"I won't hurt you." He said gruffly, yet a slight underlying softness could be heard.
snapped to attention, coming to InuYasha's side.

"Yes, he added. We only wish to assist you."
girl smiled when she saw the friendly monk, and slowly rose to her feet. She pushed the hood of her robe back a bit, revealing her face, but keeping it still on her head.

"I am eternally grateful. I thank you for saving my life." Her voice was soft and velvety, and oh so inviting.
almost instantly fell to his knees to ask her his trademark question, but the thought of Sango kept him at bay. 'I can't screw things up now...'
twitched an ear, smirking slightly.

"No problem." He replied. Suddenly, he caught a whiff of her scent. 'Wait a minute... that scent ...'

"M-may I inquire why you were playing around a wolf's den to begin with?"
voice interrupted his thoughts, and he glanced over at the mesmerized monk.
young girl giggled and stepped closer to the pair, gingerly making her way through the remains.

"Oh, I just lost my way, that's all." She hopped gracefully over the last wolf, causing the folds of her large robes to shift, revealing a long sword sheath for a moment. It was quickly concealed again, as she came to stand in front of her two saviors.
caught sight of the sheath, and looked her in the eyes.

"Then why didn't you just hack them to pieces?" He inquired, folding his arms.
eyes were filled with confusion, but only for a moment as realization hit her.

"Oh, you mean this?" She asked, lifting her arm, and reaching around her side with her opposite hand. She pulled the sheath that was attached her to waist around with two fingers. She saw the confirmation in InuYasha's eyes, and smirked. She dropped the elegant piece of wood back to her side and straightened up.

"Well, you see, normally I would, but it's just these wolves..." She glanced to her side, where one of her former attackers lay. "I can't stand them, really. They just terrify me so much, I'm not able to move." She smiled softly. "That's why I'm so glad you came along. You truly are my Savior."
cocked an eyebrow at the familiar word, and Miroku chuckled.

"InuYasha has been getting called that pretty often these days..."
hanyou sniffed indignantly, lifting his nose into the air.
girl which he was now the savior to was about to speak, but was interrupted by Sango smashing through the trees. She appeared in the clearing momentarily, breathing heavily.

"S-sorry I took so long, I had to explain things to Shippo. I was sure you two could handle things..." She glanced around the clearing at the carcasses and wrinkled her nose. "...And it looks like I was right."
gaze landed on the unfamiliar figure in front of her and smiled. It was a young, pretty girl, apparently the one that had been in need of help. Surprisingly, Miroku wasn't all over her. Or she had only missed it...
girl smirked back, then suddenly looked surprised.

"Oh, forgive me! I forgot to introduce myself, with all that's happened." She smiled widely and threw back her hood.

"I'm Lysi."

sighed as she laid across her bed. She thought about calling Yuka, Eri, or Ayumi, but instantly dismissed the thought. They'd want to know all about what was happening with InuYasha and Koga, and she was in no mood to discuss those two.
sighed again. She could call Kale, but she was suddenly having mixed feelings abut their relationship. She did like him, but she wasn't sure if it was anything more than just innocent friendship. She sighed again and sat up.
just take a long bath, and relax tonight. That'll give me time to think, and I can see my friends tomorrow at school.'
her mind made up, she walked to her bathroom and started the water.
