InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ THE WAR OF BLOODY *LOVE ❯ a little bit of everything:rice, uncles and talking ( Chapter 11 )

Last Time…

"Sango!" I yelled ignoring Inuyasha and Miroku completely, "Don't do it!"

"Miroku! Inuyasha!" Sango screamed, "don't move!" she said, with the gun in her hand, pointing it at Inuyasha and Miroku.

THE WAR OF BLOODY *LOVE

CHAPTER 11: A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING:RICE, UNCLES AND TALKING

"Sango!" I yelled desperately, "put the gun down…" I started to get up, the holds of Inuyasha long forgotten as I started to make my way over to Sango. Okay, okay, what do I do now?! Sango is about to blast those fuckers heads off, and I don't think I could stop her. The look in her eyes…she was getting real scary lately, and I don't know what to think of it.

"Sango…" I said again, wiping away the tears on my face, "its okay, put the gun down…okay…?"

"I don't know Kagome…," she said. The gun was shaking in her hands. She couldn't seem to keep it still. "That guy-Inuyasha, he hurt you and he touched you…"

"You think a gun could hurt me?" Inuyasha spoke up.

"SHUT UP!" Sango and Kagome yelled at the same time.

"Oh, `shut up' you say," Inuyasha continued. "It's the truth, a gun can't hurt me." He turned his dark eyes on me and I stopped dead. My breath was stuck in my throat and I could feel my heart quicken.

"I think we should go, Inuyasha," Miroku said.

"Fuck off Miroku," Inuyasha said.

"If you hadn't grabbed her up-," Miroku said.

"Be quiet!" Sango said. "Did you forget who has the gun?"

I was about 3 feet behind Inuyasha and Miroku now, I quickly ran across the room, standing next to Sango. Facing her, I put a hand on her shoulder. She didn't even take her eyes off Inuyasha and Miroku.

"Sango. I'm fine now," I said, my voice shaking. "You can put the gun down…" I suddenly realized that she must have taken the gun from that big stash that Miroku took from Inuyasha's clothes. And I was scared. Scared because Sango could really use a gun. She could shoot. Well! And counting from the little distance between her and the two boys, she would hit dead on. And I couldn't stand myself if that happened.

"That's it," Miroku yelled to Inuyasha, "we're leaving!" he turned to Inuyasha and grabbed his shirt to start pulling him towards the door. But Inuyasha shrugged Miroku off him. But Miroku wouldn't give up that easily, he grabbed Inuyasha's shirt and pulled hard, causing the already torn shirt to rip more. "We need to go. Or don't you see we cant stay here because they will find us?!"

Inuyasha turned to me again, his eyes once again catching mine. Why does he keep staring at me like that? He took a step forward, painfully slow, his eyes never wavering from me. But I didn't look away either. My mouth opened as if to say something but nothing came out of my mouth. Only a breath, forced from my lips as Inuyasha took a step closer.

And then…

Sango shot the gun. She really did it. I blinked slowly as if she was mechanical. Everything seemed to slow down as I saw the bullet fly pass her. I saw it fly towards Inuyasha and how it missed him by a fraction.

It hit the wall on the other side of the room. There is a new hole in the house now. After Sango shot the gun, everything was silent, except for Sango's silent sobs. I snapped out of her stupor, and quickly turned to Sango next to her.

"Sango!" I screamed, as she dropped the gun and fell to the ground. I dropped down next to her, as she felt new tears wet her cheeks. I scuffled over closer to Sango and wrapped my arms around her as Sango wept into my arms. I looked up angrily at Inuyasha who was slowly descending upon us still.

"I'll call the police!" I screamed.

Inuyasha just smiled. "By the time they come, we'll be long gone."

"Go!" I screamed. "Leave now. LEAVE!" I screamed angry tears falling. Inuyasha's smile was quickly gone. His eyes narrowed at me, as his face got angry and relentless. His fist clenched at his sides, and his lips curled up into a snarl as he let out a low growl. I only held Sango harder still crying. His body jerked suddenly. Then it jerked again. It looked like; it looked like he was having a struggle with some invisible force.

"Don't fight it, Inuyasha! Let's just go!" Miroku yelled.

"Go!" I yelled once more.

Then, his body jerked violently, and he whirled around and started to stomp out the door, Miroku following close behind him. Miroku looked back quickly, and I saw sadness in his eyes as he looked at Sango. Then…they were gone.

**********

Inuyasha stormed out of the house in a blind furry. He slammed the door shut behind him, totally ignoring the fact that Miroku was right behind him. The two men said nothing, as they both stormed in anger to the Woods behind the house. They walked deeper and deeper, until they eventually even walked past the clearing where their battle with the werewolves took place only the night before.

Inuyasha spotted a big rock pushing out form the ground and sat on it. He crossed his arms over his chest and glared straight ahead. He was so angry right now, and Miroku knew it too. It was obvious that Inuyasha was angry with him, but so what? Miroku was pissed off at him too. He did say his name aloud also…

Flash Back…

"You should never have grabbed her!" Roku yelled back. "You've just gotten us into trouble! Do you have any idea what could have happened to us if you had hurt her?! And you had no right to do that! SO DON'T GO BLAMING SHIT ON ME!"

"NOW SHE HAS CONTROL. SHE SAID MY NAME FIRST…MIROKU!" Inuyasha yelled back.

End Flash Back….

Yes…it was true. And right after he said Miroku's name, Sango spoke it. She spoke it first. She now had control of him. And he could do nothing about it. And neither could Inuyasha. Miroku glanced at Inuyasha sitting on the big rock. He leaned against a nearby tree trunk and looked at Inuyasha not speaking a word. He didn't say anything because he knew sooner or later, Inuyasha would explode once again.

"HOW COULD YOU?!" Inuyasha yelled.

Sooner…

"HOW COULD YOU LET THAT SLIP?! WE WERE TRAINED FOR THIS! WE KNOW THE RULES. UNLESS YOU DID IT ON PURPOSE…I CANT FUCKING BELIEVE THIS SHIT. FUCK!"

Now Inuyasha was standing and glaring at Miroku with evil in his eyes. Miroku stood silently for a moment before he answered. He was meaning to ask Inuyasha something…something not having to do with their names. He had noticed it the minute Inuyasha opened his eyes…and looked at that girl, that girl named Kagome. It wasn't his fault. Inuyasha really wouldn't leave Kagome alone. He just kept at it…staring and talking to her, like when she told him back away, he couldn't, as if he was drawn to her.

"Inuyasha…" Miroku said.

"Oh! Now he speaks!" Inuyasha said.

"Why didn't you stop?" Miroku questioned calmly.

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

"When you grabbed her. She told you to stop-even before she knew your name. And you didn't stop. Inuyasha she didn't do anything, you had no right to grab her like that!"

"Piss off," Inuyasha said as he sat back down on the rock.

"No! I won't piss off! You got a lot of problems going on in your head Inuyasha! I don't know what's with you and that girl, but whatever it is, I would now cut it out of the picture-at least after you scared her senseless! You didn't have to question her like that anyway. She just found your talisman, and put it on, big deal."

"It's a big deal to me! To me! That's my talisman she has on and no one else is supposed to wear it-"

"Of course someone else wears it…eventually…" Miroku said, shifting slightly from one foot to the other.

Inuyasha just snorts and turns his head away. "No one believes that soul mate shit…well, maybe you." Inuyasha says as he laughed lightly.

"So what if I do believe?" Miroku shot back defensively. "I believe it because it's true. They say that the only one who can possess someone else's talisman is he or she's soul mate."

"So what, you trying to say that Kagome is my soul mate?" Inuyasha said very carefully, trying not to laugh.

Miroku nodded his head.

Inuyasha suddenly got up and stretched. "I'm going to hunt while we are in these woods. I still haven't had any blood yet. And I'm going to die if I don't."

Inuyasha suddenly changing the subject didn't pass by Miroku, but he chose to go with it.

"You speak as if death is something of unimportance," Miroku said.

"Well isn't it?" Inuyasha said sounding bored.

Miroku nodded his head once again. "To vampires, death is nothing. But to humans…"

He didn't need to finish.

**********

"It's okay Sango…they are gone now," Kagome said to the still crying Sango in her arms.

"I was so scared Kagome," Sango said, now hiccupping and wiping her face free of tears. "I thought he was going to kill us. And that evil one! He was so scary…"

"There are gone now. They scared the fuck out of me," Kagome said.

Sango looked at her strangely. "They scared you?" Sango asked sniffling.

"Of course they scared me! I thought this would be our last day alive! Why would you say that?"

"Well," Sango said, still wiping at her eyes. "I was scared. I was so pale and freaked out. But you didn't look that bad. It looked like you were scared to the limit of…of flying thousands of feet into the air. Not scared because your about to die!"

Kagome shakes her head slowly. "Sango, I was scared beyond reason when that Inuyasha grabbed me. I was so scared. I thought he…he…"Kagome stopped as a tear trailed down her cheek. She fought to control her sobs that were building in her chest.

"Now don't start crying, Kagome," Sango whispered. "Or I will start to cry too!"

"But its true," Kagome said. "I don't know how you think I wasn't scared. Maybe I kept it in check the best I could. But when he grabbed me and held me close to him…"Kagome sniffled and immediately stopped crying when she thought of the moment she was so close to him. Though she was scared, she couldn't deny the strange feeling she had in her chest and stomach when he grabbed her…touched her…

What the fuck?! She-what was-what was she thinking?! She can't have these feelings for a crazy man! Kagome could feel as her cheeks grow warm and she shook her head vigorously to rid her head of these strange thoughts.

"Kagome? You okay," Sango asked, looking at her friend with concern.

"Huh? Oh! Yes, I'm fine."

Sango stood up. She looked around their once clean family room and saw that it was clean no more. Three buckets of now cold water lay on the floor, beside it, lay rags that were used to aid the strangers that they so stupidly welcomed into their home. [Just to say it: when Sango and Kagome found those two boys in the woods, I don't think I would have brought them into my house. I am just a very safe person and I wouldn't want to take that risk. I would keep them outside and call the police. Just like smart old Sango wanted to do in the first place. Okay, I am not that mean, I'll at least give them a band-aid or something. Only if they don't turn out to be some whacko that wants to kill me!]

The used band-aid wraps were drooped on the floor or thrown on the couch carelessly. Sango's eyes drew to the blankets the two boys recently laid on. Visible, do to its color, Sango can clearly see blood. Blood from the two boys who were seriously hurt. Sango's heart skipped a beat when she thought of a certain someone with short black hair in a small ponytail. Her eyes seemed to go to a different place as she saw the violet-eyed man before her…

"I guess we have a lot of cleaning to do, huh?" Kagome said as she too stood by Sango. Except, she was eyeing the amount of guns in the corner. She couldn't tell how much guns there were exactly. But she would give a round estimate of maybe about 15 to 20 guns, not mentioning the number of bullets that lay sprawled on the floor. Some had rolled away to the other side of the room with all the commotion that just went on in the house.

"We really need to start cleaning up this place," Sango said slowly.

"And we need to finish unpacking…" Kagome said

Sango's stomach grumbled. "And we need to eat…" she said sheepishly.

"I guess we better get started," Kagome said.

Both agreed and started to get to work, both silently pissed off at two very weird boys who were still close by.

**********

Inuyasha once again entered the clearing and sat on the rock. In his hand, he held two dead birds hanging by the wings. Their necks were broken. It wasn't hard to catch them at all. And that kind of disappointed Inuyasha, he loved a good hunt. Birds weren't his style either but if he wanted to life for long, it would have to do. As he sat, he threw a bird at Miroku who caught it with ease.

Miroku sat down and leaned against the tree. He examined the dead bird in his hands and looked up at Inuyasha.

"Birds, huh?' he said. "I know you don't like birds as much as rabbits, so for you to stay with this, you must really be hungry."

"Whatever," Inuyasha mumbled under his breath. He to looked at the dead bird in his hand, only with disgust unlike Miroku. He slowly brought the bird's neck to his mouth until it touched his lip. Then he quickly sunk his fangs into the neck of the bird, his tongue already licking the blood that is gushing into his mouth. He swallowed and sucked gratefully. The familiar tingle of the blood eased his taste buds and stopped the burning need in his veins.

He sucked the bird dry and when done, tossed it carelessly over his shoulder. He closed his eyes and licked the remaining blood from his lips. He knew this blood wouldn't last long. It was just from a bird. By nightfall, he would be in need again. And he would have to go hunting. He hated it, with all his heart.

"You do know what we have to do now, don't you?" Miroku asked, breaking the silence.

"No. What do we need to do?" Inuyasha asked. Because in all honesty, he didn't. He was too tried to even think right now. And he was so hot. It was summer and even though they were in the Woods, the thickness of the trees above couldn't seem to block the rays of the sun from beating down on his back…

The sun…

The sun!

Inuyasha jumped up and instantly put his hand up above his head to block the sun while looking around desperately to find a place to hide. That's when he heard Miroku's laughter.

"Miroku!" Inuyasha yelled. "What the fuck is going on?! Help me, the sun!"

But Miroku just kept laughing and seemed to ignore Inuyasha.

"Miroku! I don't have my fucking talisman on me! I'll burn to a crisp out here…!" but that's when Inuyasha realized that he's been out in the sun for quite a while and he was still alive! He slowly lowered his hands and looked at Miroku who currently stopped laughing.

"What the-what the fuck is going on here?!" Inuyasha demanded.

"I'm surprised you didn't notice by now. I was wondering when you would." Miroku said.

"Notice what?!"

"When you passed out in Kagome and Sango's house because they turned the light on, I slipped a small talisman on your finger. I knew you didn't have yours. You owe me big time. I told them to turn off the light and I gave you a temporary talisman. You could be dead right now." Miroku said with pride.

Inuyasha looked down at his left hand and saw a ring on his middle finger. It was dark blue and had the small sculpture of a crow on the head of it. Inuyasha didn't even notice it was there until now. He sat back down and turned to Miroku again.

"So what do we have to do?" he asked resuming the conversation.

"What?" Miroku said looking confused.

"You said we have to do something. What is it?"

"Oh yes," Miroku said remembering. All of a sudden, a big smile spread across his face as he looked up at the trees. He sighed happily.

"Well spill it," Inuyasha urged.

"We have to go back to see those girls…" Miroku said, his grin getting even wider.

Inuyasha didn't reply for a second. The vision of that girl Kagome kept playing in his mind. He frowned slightly. That girl was weird…but he couldn't help but think weird in a good way. His chest tingled slightly with the remembrance of her hands on his chest, cleaning him. His mouth opened slightly as he licked his lips, because now they had become dry with all of his thinking. He wouldn't mind going back to see her.

He wouldn't mind at all.

Miroku frowned when Inuyasha didn't respond. He expected him to lash out and get pissed off for his suggestion. But he did nothing.

"Why do we have to go back?" Inuyasha asked calmly.

"Well…" Miroku said. "Since they know our names-" Inuyasha glared at Miroku. "-they are now our…how should I say this…they are now out…masters. Thus, we are not allowed to stay far away from them for a while, even if they command us to go, they can only do that ever so often"

"No one is my master!" Inuyasha snarled. Miroku chose to ignore Inuyasha's outburst.

"But that's not the only reason we need to go back," Miroku continued. "We were there for at least a couple of hours…"

"Our smell is all over the house," Inuyasha said, now understanding what Miroku was saying. "A werewolf could smell us there a mile away!"

"And I am sure they would like to see what was so interesting that brought us there. And for so long…and when they smell other people there-human people…"

"Shit!" Inuaysha said. "If those girls die, we could be killed for somehow exposing ourselves and the others. But do you really think the werewolves would kill them? They could be at risk of exposing their selves too if they do."

"I don't know?" Miroku said. "They cold kill and leave them there. The police would find them and know something wasn't right. Those girls live in an isolated area," Miroku waved his hands around at the trees. "If the police find them dead, they will know something is going on. But if they just disappear with them, they could easily hide the body in their quarters."

"I doubt that," Inuyasha said. "They would probably devour them completely. Those werewolves love meat. But that's only if their hungry. If their in it for the kill, they will kill them and leave them there for the whole world to see."

"We have to go back. Soon," Miroku said.

"Tonight," Inuyasha said quickly. "Tonight we go back to the girls."

Back to Kagome…

**********

"What do you want to eat?" Sango asked Kagome. Both girls were sitting on the couch. The room was now clean and nice to look at. But the guns were all stashed in a draw in Kagome's room. Sango took out all of the bullets and rested them aside next to the guns in the draw. They didn't decide what to do with those yet. They want to bring it to the police.

But if they did, they would have to answer a whole shitload of questions about where they got it from and who had it and blah blah blah. And if Kagome's uncle found out, how would she explain it to him? Speaking of her uncle, she needed to call him-just to hear his voice and to tell him Sango and her are okay. Kagome brought her knees up to her chest and wrapped her hands around them.

"I think I want some…rice," Kagome answered Sango. "Even though its early."

"That's all you want?" Sango asked. "That doesn't sound like much."

"Not that hungry."

"Okay. You just sit here. I'll go make some. All I want is cereal…" Sango got up and walked out the room towards the kitchen.

Kagome looked up at the the clock that was attached to the wall in the room. 7:35. It was that early. She wasn't surprised. They had been up all night. After the late party and…the `situation', she was drained. After she finished eating, she would have to call her uncle and finish packing. Then, she would sleep to her hearts desire.

She leaned back on her back in the couch and draped her arm over her eyes. The room was still dark and that was good because she wasn't in the mood to see the sun right now. It would just signal that time was passing and she didn't feel like knowing that right now. She could already feel the sticky heat invade the house and settle on her body from the summer heat.

Time to turn the air conditioner on.

"You want white rice or shrimp fried!" Sango yelled from the kitchen.

And time to put the ear plugs in too.

"I want shrimp fried rice! Thanks!" Kagome yelled back.

~3 hours later~

"Kagome, is this your shirt?" Sango asked.

"No. but is this your bra? I don't have the color hot pink." Kagome said with amusement on her face.

"Give me that! Then whose shirt is this?"

"Don't know. Don't care. Oh, wait, that's my uncle's shirt. How did it get in here?" Kagome questioned.

"Who cares? We've been unpacking forever and I am not even close to being finished." Sango sighed.

"Well," Kagome said folding her last pair of jeans and adding it to the stack. "I am all done."

"Oh shove it!" Sango said. Kagome just grinned and picked up her stacks of clothes to bring to her room, leaving a very miserable and tired Sango behind. Kagome walked to her room and dumped the clothes on the bed. Now, all she had to do was put these clothes in her draw and she would be done. But first, she'd rather call her uncle.

She picked up the phone on her side table next to her bed and dialed her uncle's number. She hoped he wasn't very busy with his work. The phone ringed 2 times before someone answered.

"Hello." Came the reply.

"Hey! Hi it's me Kagome!"

"Is every thing okay over there?" was the fist thing her uncle asked.

Kagome hesitated for a while. What should she say? Should she just lie and make him not know something happened? Or should she tell him the truth? If she did, it would be very hard. But how would she tell him? Should she say, "Oh, something did happen by the way. I heard some screaming from the woods and Sango and I ran out there to see if everything was okay. But we found two boys nearly dead and brought them back to the house to heal them. But it turns out, their kind of on the crazy side. Oh, and did I mention they had a load of guns that are currently stashed in my room draw?"

She couldn't say that! Her uncle would drop dead on the spot. Therefore, she chose the wise choice.

"Kagome?" her uncle said through the phone.

She would lie.

"Yes," she said. Everything is okay over here. Sango and I are both fine."

"Well that's a relief," her uncle said. "Do you need more money? You have food, right?"

"Stop worrying to much. We are adults now. Remember?"

"That's what I'm worried about. Your freedom. Don't know what you could do."

"We won't do anything," Kagome promised.

"Yeah, yeah," he said.

"So how is your job going?" Kagome asked, changing the subject.

"It's not too bad actually…"

Kagome hung up the phone when she was finished talking to her uncle. Her head was hurting and she felt so bad. She really didn't want to lie to her uncle. And about something so important! She couldn't stand it. Today wasn't her day. First, she makes Hojo mad at her for life, then she nearly gets killed by a fine looking lunatic and now she lied to her uncle. Why couldn't she just lay in a ditch forever?

At least that way no body would have to see her lying face. It would be better for the world that way. Kagome wasn't a person to lie. It didn't really come natural to her. I mean, she wasn't perfect; she's lied before, but nothing to this extent. This was serious and she lied. She wanted to cry her eyes out right now and never stop. She looked over to the amount of folded cloths resting at the bottom of her bed. She wasn't in the mood to put her cloths away anymore.

She didn't think she had the strength. It was time to catch up on some much needed sleep. She walked over to the light switch and cut the light. She pulled her shades closed, along with her curtains and crawled into the bed, ignoring the clothes at her feet. She didn't even bother with a blanket, it was too hot for that. She just flopped on her back and drifted off into her sweet dreams.
