Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or its characters. The honor goes to Rumiko Takahashi.
“How long do you think it will take our friend here to awaken? Lord Sesshoumaru may need our assistance with those two demons,” Miroku spoke, walking out from his hiding position behind a tree. I looked at Miroku with one of my eyebrows raised up in question.
Did he really think he would be safe there? Sesshoumaru would only have to use his green acid whip to cut the tree in half and the tree would crush Miroku underneath its weight.
Inuyasha moaned as he slowly lifted himself off the ground, using the tessaiga to hold himself steady. I guess that answers Miroku’s question. It didn’t take Inuyasha long to wake up like I thought it would, either Sesshoumaru didn’t hit him hard enough or he processes a thick skull. “Where did that bastard disappear to?” Inuyasha said angrily, glancing around for any sign of his half brother’s whereabouts. “I wasn’t finished with him yet. It’s not over until I say it is.”
I sighed, knowing that calming Inuyasha down was going to become a hassle. It always is. “Look at yourself, Inuyasha,” I said to him. I removed my rested body away from the tree I was leaning on. It only took me a couple of feet to reach him. “You’re in no condition to fight. You can’t even stand upright and have to use tessaiga for strength.”
“Shut up, wench! I can take him,” he growled at me, baring his fangs. “It will only be a few minutes before I regain my original strength back.”
I knew I shouldn’t argue with a half demon who is wounded but I am the only one who could. Even his mate is powerless against him right now. I am afraid to imagine what he would do to Miroku and Sango. He was slowly losing himself to his demonic form and then we would all be in trouble. I snapped my fangs at Inuyasha and placed my hands on my hips. “Who are you trying to fool, Inuyasha? He is a full demon while you are only half. He is stronger than you are.”
Miroku nodded in agreement. “Lady Kagome is right, Inuyasha. It would be pointless to engage in battle with your half brother. It’s best to save your strength for the upcoming battle with Naraku.” I groaned at Miroku’s words. Why couldn’t he keep his mouth shut for once? He might have triggered Inuyasha’s beast.
“No one asked you, monk! So, keep your damn opinions to yourself!” Inuyasha snapped at him. “You’re just as bad as Kagome taking that bastard’s side.”
Miroku, Sango, and even Kikyo knew what was going to happen next and backed up a few feet away from me and Inuyasha. I wasn’t going to say my favorite two words and make him slam into the gound. He is wounded and I didn’t want to injure him any further. So, I did the next best thing I could think of to make him pay. I yelled loudly into his sensitive white puppy dog ears. “I’m not taking anyone’s side, stupid! I’m just stating the obvious!”
Inuyasha flicked his ears back in pain. “Could have fooled me,” he replied weakly. He decided that he had enough and began to back away from me slowly. He had managed to trip over a rock and lost his footing, sending him face first in the dirt. Tessaiga fell down next to him with a clanking sound.
This was my chance to heal him. ‘Get him while he’s down’ should be my motto. How many times in the past have I fought with Inuyasha just to treat his wounds? He can be stubborn like a mule sometimes. “Miroku,” I said pointing at him, “turn Inuyasha over onto his back and hold his legs down. Use your sutras if you have to.” Sango knew exactly where I was going and came to stand over Inuyasha’s head, while pinning his arms above him. Kikyo surprised me by helping us out, by plopping herself on top of Inuyasha’s chest.
“Let me go, you bastards!” Inuyasha shouted with anger, rolling his body side to side, trying to break free of the humans that held his half demon self down. “I don’t want or need your damn help!” When he realized that we weren’t listening to him, he tried another tactic. “Are you guys hard of hearing or what?”
“This is for your own good, Inuyasha,” I told him, kneeling down next to the left side of his head. “Now, try and hold still. This may hurt a bit.” I took a couple of deep breaths before I began to heal Inuyasha. My hands were shaking a little bit and this was the only method that I could calm myself down. I crossed my hands over one another and placed them above Inuyasha’s forehead, where blood was seeping out from a large gash on his forehead. Sesshoumaru really did a number on him. I will have to scold him later for it.
A pink light surrounded around me and my hands. My hair flew straight back, while my powers surged around me like static electricity. “Heal my friend,” I whispered so softly that only I and my power would hear it. Pink lights shoot out of my fingertips and into the wound on Inuyasha’s forehead. Sweat formed across my brow and traveled down my nose, plopping onto the ground before me. I was tiring out from not using my powers in a long time but I will not give up. Inuyasha needs my help, even if he is stubborn about it.
Inuyasha cried out when the skin began to move to refasten itself. The wound wasn’t deep enough to require stitches. It won’t even leave a pink scar. I started to fall back and used my arms to make my fall less painful. I fell right down onto my ass and sighed with exhaustion. Being pregnant and using my priestess powers just wore me out. Sango quickly released Inuyasha to rush to my aid. Miroku also released Inuyasha for he saw the red tint beginning to show in Inuyasha’s eyes and he didn’t want to be his target.
Kikyo leaned over his chest and pulled her hair back, to let him see and sniff her mating mark. I watched Inuyasha lift his head and nuzzle Kikyo’s mating mark. His aura calmed down and I knew he was normal asshole self. I couldn’t help but wonder if that could have been me. If it wasn’t for me finding Inuyasha and Kikyo that day, I would be still infatuated with him. I don’t see him like that anymore. Ever since Sesshoumaru has made me his mate, I have been slowly falling in love with him. I know that Sesshoumaru will never tell me these words or show the emotion in his eyes. He may not even come to love me but I know that he will take care of me. That is all I can ever hope for.
“Are you alright, Kagome?” Sango asked peering down at me, with a concerned look on her face. “You look a little pale.”
Everyone then focused their attention on me after Sango said those words. I waved her words away with the flick of my wrist. “I’m fine, Sango. Could you please help me to my feet?” I asked of her. “I’m afraid that I am too weak and might fall down, hurting my pup.” Sango walked around to stand behind me and pushed her arms underneath my armpits, to hoist me up.
Inuyasha then came over and hoisted me onto his back. “I don’t need you passing out on me by walking in your weak condition. Sesshoumaru would have my hide.”
“Thank you, Inuyasha,” I said to him, as Sango wrapped my arms around his neck. I feel like a child right now, unable to do anything for myself and I hate this feeling. I know my friends mean well and they want to help me any way they can, but a demon has their pride. Now, I know how Sesshoumaru felt when I offered to heal his wounds that one time.
We headed for the castle with Kikyo walking next to Inuyasha, and with Sango and Miroku walking behind us. Suddenly, there was a loud crash with tiny pieces of gray stone flying everywhere. I lowered my head into Inuyasha’s shoulder and Sango shielded me with her boomerang. Dust flew into my mouth and I coughed.
“Don’t even think about it, Kagome,” Sango said, looking at the castle after the debris settled down. “It’s not safe to go in there right now and your mate will cut off our heads for putting you in that kind of danger.”
I wasn’t even listening to Sango. I was having an argument of my own with my beast. Inuyasha sensed this and ordered Sango to back away from me. He would take the punishment if I lost control.
We must see to mate! He needs us! My inner beast screamed in rage at me.
He is fine. I calmly spoke. This is Sesshoumaru were talking about. He is the killing perfection, after all. You make our mate sound weak and pathetic.
But he may be hurt or dead! We must get to him quickly! I can’t feel him anymore!
My inner beast lowered her head into her hands and whimpered softly.
Would you just calm down! You’re going to hurt the pup acting this way. Besides, mate is not dead. I can still feel his strong aura.
I don’t care what you say! I’m going to find mate! You cannot stop me!
You’re going to get me into trouble with talk like that. Mate will punish me for your stupidity. I will survey the situation and if I feel that I need you, then I will let you free to do what you wish, agreed?
My inner beast sighed with frustration at not getting her way. If I feel threatened I will come out, whether you like it or not.
“Inuyasha,” I leaned down to whisper into his ears alone. “Please, take me to my mate. I need to see that he is alright.” Inuyasha took a few minutes to think about it before running off towards the castle, with me on his back. His arms were behind him holding onto my legs, so I wouldn’t slide or fall off.
“Wait, Kagome and Inuyasha! Don’t do it! It could be the work of Naraku!” We heard Sango yelling at us to come back but we ignored her. Inuyasha knew I wouldn’t be happy until I was with my mate again.
Reaching inside the castle entrance, Inuyasha began to sniff for my mate’s scent. I knew why Inuyasha was doing this for me. It is because Sesshoumaru is the only family he has left, besides the pup in my stomach, and he would be forced to take the responsibility of the Western Lands until the pup is older, a position that he doesn’t want. And I don’t blame him. It would be hard to convince the full demons that a half demon could run the Western Lands. There will be war between the lands and innocent people will die in the process.
Inuyasha caught his scent and ran down the main hallway until he stopped at the war room. I could tell that the door we were standing in front of was the war room because of the different strong auras within it. Also, the atmosphere processed a feeling of hate. “Are you alright to be on your own?” Inuyasha asked me. “It would make you appear to be weak if I continued to carry you on my back.”
I nodded against him and he gently lowered me to the floor. I braced the wall, trying to steady myself. Inuyasha took off his red rat covering and placed it over my shoulders. I looked up at him confused. “It’s for your protection,” he answered me, noticing my confused look. I smiled up at him. He could be kind sometimes.
Inuyasha threw open the doors and made sure that I was in the room, before slamming the doors shut behind him. He moved to stand in front of me. Surveying the room, I noticed that the male demons were trying to hold Reina back and the female demons were trying to hold back another female with red hair. I would have just let them fight it out but we didn’t have time for their petty squabble. I couldn’t believe that all these demons were having trouble securing two females. I guess I will have to do it myself. I hoped that my powers were strong enough for this.
Inuyasha sensed what I was planning to do and gave me a stern look before moving off to the side. Pink light surrounded my entire body, as I once again willed my powers to come forth. I shot my right arm out towards Reina, encasing her within a pink orb and lifted her twelve feet off the ground. Using my left arm, I did the same thing to the red head as I did to Reina. I encased her within another pink orb and lifted her up, the same height, into the air. Both of them struck their fists at the orb’s walls, trying to break themselves free. I let them continue until they realized that there was no hope of escaping their imprisonment.
“Sesshoumaru, do something with that female of yours and get me out of here!” Reina shouted, but my mate did nothing to stop me. Maybe, he was watching to see how I would handle the situation. After all, I am the Lady of the Western Lands.
I glared at them both coldly. “Both of you should be ashamed of yourselves,” I scolded them like I would the pups. “Look at the damage you have caused. The wall opposite of you has an indent of a body being thrown at it. I smell the blood of the demon in this room that you have injured because of your stupidity. I want explanations now.”
Reina answered first. “She,” Reina said, pointing a clawed finger at the other girl, “told me that I had no business being here and that I should just leave. That no one likes me and that my presence here wasn’t welcome. I have every right to be here! I am family to the lord who owns this castle! She is the one who should leave! She wasn’t even invited!”
“Just calm down, Reina,” I told her gently. She calmed down and I focused my attention on the other girl. “What is your explanation?”
She turned her nose up at me like she was more important than I was. I decided that she was a snob. “My father ordered me, his only heir, to come here for my own safety. Reina is nothing but a follower and has no lands of her own.”
I felt another mood swing coming on and I knew that it wasn’t going to be pretty, not for them and definitely not for me. “Stop it, both of you!” I bellowed, with my power flaring all around me and with my raven black hair flying out behind me. “I don’t care who started the damn fight but I am going to finish it!”
I paused enough to gave them both another cold glare, one that my mate would be proud of. “I am the Lady of the Western Lands and I say who is welcome and who is not! We have to stop fighting amongst ourselves and focus on Naraku! The real reason that all of us are here! If I wanted to deal with pups, I would talk to Inuyasha!” I heard him snort beside me and others behind me, trying to hold their laughter. Sango, Miroku, and Kikyo had finally arrived.
“Whether you like it or not, we are all in this together,” I said, finally feeling my mood swing calming down. “I’m going to let you both down now but if you act up again, you will find yourselves right back here within my orbs. Do you understand me?” I asked them, watching them both nod in agreement.
I began to lower both of my arms at the same time. I didn’t want it to appear that I was favoring one demon over the other. It was bad enough that the two of them fought. I didn’t need their families getting involved also. Once the pink orbs reached the floor, I commanded my power to return to me and pink rays of light traveled across the room to slam forcefully into my body, knocking me back into Miroku. The pink aura around me dimmed and my hair lowered itself, touching my back once more.
Inuyasha quickly pulled me away from Miroku and his wandering hands. Sesshoumaru was already glaring at us for the intrusion. It would be even worse for Miroku to grope me, his mate. The two girls returned to their families, who shook their heads in disgust. Their behaviors had disgraced both families.
While everyone else took their seats at the table, I stood where I was trying not to black out. I had used way too much energy in such a short period of time and my body couldn’t handle it. I began to sway and started to fall. I closed my eyes and braced for impact, but it never came. I felt someone catch me and I opened my eyes, to find myself staring into the cold eyes of my mate.
