Chapter 10
Working Hypothesis
Nearly an hour later, Inuyasha slumped, unconscious against Sesshomaru. Beside them, Kagome closed the lid and flushed before hurrying out the door to get the bedroom ready. Since there was little else she could do while here and was being otherwise uncooperative Sesshomaru saw no point in waylaying her.
The last dozen minutes or so had seen some progress. Inuyasha's back had stopped oozing those large globs and he seemed to be vomiting little more than stomach bile now. The Brand still looked infected but it had lost some of its unnatural hues.
When Inuyasha's previous bout of sickness had subsided; Sesshomaru had inquired what she had found during her examination and she had opened her mouth instantly to reply. But then she had just stared at him, her brows slowly lowering.
Never a good sign.
ÒNo,Ó she had said at last, ÒI think weÕll worry about that afterwards.Ó
ÒWhy?Ó he demanded, suspicious.
ÒBecause Inuyasha needs to understand what is happening to him and heÕs in no condition to hear it at the moment.Ó
ÒThen tell him when he is better, but I, at least, need to understand what is happening now.Ó
ÒHmm,Ó she mused, ÒNo I donÕt think so. I think IÕll wait and explain it all when you both can listen. IÕd rather just tell you both at the same time.Ó
Sesshomaru felt his eyebrow twitch. She was blackmailing him! And what was worse, it was working. HeÕd turned his head away from her, utterly annoyed at such an underhanded tactic. He could turn down money, fame, all such useless trapping but information.
Oh, he just wanted to shake it out of her!
And there was also the matter of the Brand; though definitely lesser than it had been, it was still there. Damn her! He couldn't act without more information.
So he had remained, keeping up the strokes through Inuyasha's hair. It was what his mother had done for him the few times he'd been ill as a child and it made him feel a little less useless in any event. It was what one was supposed to do in such a situation wasnÕt it?
The fact that the hanyou was now slumped against him, well, he blamed that on the miko. She had subtly shifted her patient as she's worked on him, until Sesshomaru was sitting here with an armful of exhausted hanyou.
He didn't think he'd ever been in a more undignified position in all his life. There he was on a bathroom floor, his clothes stained and reeking of too many substances to name, with a wayward hanyou practically sprawled in his lap. The detritus of the last couple hours of treatment scattered all about them; the floor was soaked, dirty towels lay all around them, a few tiles were even cracked where Inuyasha had taken his frustration out on them at some point.
And in the middle of all that chaos, sat Sesshomaru, more ill at ease with the decisions that had led him there then he could ever recall being. It had been true that when heÕd been tracking the hanyou he had considered using the Pack Bond. But he'd thought of it as a last resort to keep Inuyasha here and possibly nullify the Brand. Perhaps just threaten the brat with it if he really needed to.
But when Inuyasha denied his heritage, the connection he had to these lands, to Sesshomaru; when Sesshomaru had been gracious enough to offer him safety and Inuyasha had thrown it back in his face. Sesshomaru had seen red. He would not allow it.
But now that he was confronted with the consequences he felt far from sure. Why had he done it? Inuyasha had been in no condition to fight. He could have simply hauled the hanyou back here. And though he spoke as if it was simply the logical thing to do, he actually didnÕt know what the outcome would be.
Nobody had ever pitted the two magics against each other before and the Shikon no Tama didnÕt simplify things one bit. There was also the small matter of InuyashaÕs reaction to all this; for now Inuyasha was in no shape to go anywhere. But he would heal in time and his attitude on the subject was not encouraging.
Sesshomaru blew out a breath and leaned his head against the cool tile behind him. He could already feel the vague awareness in his head, like an itch in his brain that he would have to learn to ignore. At this distance and with such a loose tie between them, the Pack Mark was fairly useless. And he would not allow it to grow any stronger.
As it was it would be little more than a compass for him, but one that would always point Ôdue hanyou.Õ The rest of it – Sesshomaru clenched his fists – absolutely not. He had no need to be tied any deeper to the hanyou.
Another thing to plague his mind was Naraku. He had clearly administered the Brand so that he could always track Inuyasha. So why was the creature not hounding down their doors as they sat here. Did he not realize that Inuyasha was missing?
It was possible, he mused.
The Brand wouldnÕt give Naraku a point on a map but rather a general sense of distance and direction. If Naraku was not at his new home and was far enough away - then he wouldnÕt realize that Inuyasha had moved. Many scholars even suspected the Youkai Brand was a twisted form of the Pack Mark, some sort of perverse derivative; whose creators did not want the mutual connection provided by the Mark.
If the Pack Mark and Shikon no Tama could distort or perhaps, even negate the Brand, that would at least buy them some time. Sesshomaru looked down at the Shikon no Tama. There was only a small lump in the center of the fractured frame to show that it was not quite finished. Sesshomaru raised a hand and felt the stone. The lump still felt like hard crystal, but the rest like the smoothest skin, unblemished yet indelibly marked.
Inuyasha shuddered and Sesshomaru dropped his hand. It wouldn't do any good to awaken him and Sesshomaru wanted him healed; he knew the miko would be just as tight lipped about the jewel as everything else until he was.
~~~
Kagome came back to the bathroom, bearing clean robes for Sesshomaru as well as Inuyasha. All but Inuyasha's hoari had been destroyed and Sesshomaru's needed a good cleaning too. Seeing Inuyasha sprawled in Sesshomaru's lap, who looked more disheveled then she could ever remember seeing him made Kagome turn away to hide a smile.
"Not one word, Miko," Sesshomaru growled
Apparently she hadn't been fast enough, "I wouldn't dream of it." she replied no longer hiding her grin.
Sesshomaru merely sighed.
~~~
ÒSo if it did not react when you placed the Shikon on Inuyasha how were you so sure he was the one.Ó
ÒYou know how I knew.Ó
ÒThey told you.Ó
They whoÕs they, Inuyasha mused, his mind cloudy. Then he came back to himself with a start, his claws clutching a pillow under his head, as his eyes popped open.
He saw that he was back in the room he'd first been put in. Kagome once again at his bedside, half rising out of her chair at his movement.
He glared at her, growling when she made a move towards him. She'd lied to him and worse she'd even sent Sesshomaru after him.
Sesshomaru!
That's right. That ass had been the one to drag him back here. Had he left right after? No...no he'd been in the bathroom hadn't he? But, how long ago was that? He tried to turn over to see the room better but his back protested and he settled back with a grunt of pain.
Instantly, Kagome was standing over his bedside, taking out some sort of salve and stripping off the bandages they must have wrapped him in while he'd been out. It also meant he really couldn't see anything aside from her and the pillows stacked on his other side. So instead he took a deep inhale.
He nearly choked on it.
There was the expected scents of the house, himself, Kagome, even a scrap of Naraku's, that seemed to oddly, be coming from the bandages, but overlaying everything was Sesshomaru.
Gods what the hell had happened? Did he bathe in Eau de Sesshomaru or something? He sniffed along his arm and nearly gagged. The scent was even worse on his skin. What the fuck?
Wait.. had Sesshomaru been holding him at some point? He could remember hands, combing through his hair while he'd been sick. Had that been Sesshomaru?
Not a chance! Sesshomaru wouldn't spit on him if he were on fire. So what gives?
"Where," he coughed, clearing his throat, "Where's Sesshomaru?"
"Here," came Seshomaru's calm voice, directly behind Inuyasha.
Inuyasha nearly jumped out of his skin. He flipped onto his back and sat up, looking briefly like a stranded fish as he flopped into position, ignoring the burning in his scars. But he didn't care, having that bastard at his back plain freaked him out.
Sesshomaru stood against the wall opposite the bed, looking - as always - as though he could wait out the world. But something was off, the image jarring with Inuyasha's memory.
"What the hell happened to your clothes?"
Kagome stifled a snort of laughter even as she tried to get Inuyasha to lie back down, her healer's hands trying to be insistent, impersonal and sensitive all at once, turning them into an ignorable flutter of movement. He batted them away but instead she merely switched to dressing his wounds while he sat up, probably was easier anyway.
It was weird that he'd noticed Sesshomaru's clothes. After everything that had happened, some of which his fucked up memory wasn't sure had happened; to notice Sesshomaru's wardrobe choice shouldn't be at the top of his priority list.
But it was.
Sesshomaru was standing there in a plain white cotton kimono, so clashing with Inuyasha's view of the world that he couldn't let it slide.
Sesshomaru glared at him for a few moments, but finally answered, "My clothes are being cleaned of the detritus of tracking you down and tending to you."
Inuyasha's jaw dropped, "Me.. but," and then a flash of memory, the bite, right before the searing pain. Inuyasha leapt to his feet, Kagome crying out in protest, a mix of growling and panting escaping him as he yelled, "You son of a bitch! Why the hell did you mark me?! I was hours from being out of your hair for good. Why didn't you just let me go?" Inuyasha's eyes stung and pain clawed at his chest that had nothing to do with his injuries.
"Why?" he demanded, his voice a scratchy whisper. "You were happy enough to leave me to my father." Inuyasha snapped his teeth shut on the slip even as he saw Sesshomaru's expression darken.
"That creature is not your father," Sesshomaru growled.
Inuyasha hadn't meant to call Naraku father. He'd already told himself Naraku was just another monster, but he couldnÕt seem to shake what Naraku had done to him. He shuddered. It was a sick irony really since he'd been so bad at performing the part of son when he'd been in Naraku's 'care'. Still, he felt defiance stiffen his spine.
"Yeah, well, you ain't my brother neither."
"Inuyasha please sit back down," Kagome pleaded, putting a restraining hand on his arm. He shook her off.
"Why!"
Sesshomaru opened his mouth, his expression supercilious, when his nose twitched and his face...changed.
Inuyasha blanched, scrubbing furiously at his eyes. He hadn't actually cried had he? Gods that would be just what he need, Sesshomaru seeing at his most pathetic.
Sesshomaru cleared his throat and Inuyasha glared at him once more. And for a moment Sesshomaru almost looked guilty - or maybe just awkward. "I did not abandon you Inuyasha when I left Naraku's estate. I simply stepped back in order to better assess the situation and decide where to go from there."
"Bullshit! I heard you remember! You were even talking with Naraku about the business."
Kagome gasped, as she turned slack jawed to stare at Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru raised his eyes to the roof as if seeking patience. "I was lying, obviously. I had no desire for Naraku to know of our blood ties.'
Inuyasha laughed; a horrible, hollow sound, even to his own ears. "Of course you fucking didn't! You never have! Why on earth did I ever look up to you I.." Inyashsa cut himself off, biting his lip. He hadn't meant to say that. He had never wanted Sesshomaru to know that. His eyes prickled and he could feel himself losing control again. He took a deep breath.
"Let me go."
"Inuyasha, it's too dangerous..." Kagome began, but Inuyasha turned on her.
"That isn't your fucking choice is it?" he barked.
"It was not shame that kept me silent in front of Naraku." Sesshmaru said quietly.
"You god damn liar! Its why you got rid of me in the first place!"
Sesshomaru ignored that and said. "Naraku is a particularly dangerous youkai, a fact you are no doubt all too aware of." Inuyasha shuddered, "Indeed. If he were discover that a blood relative of mine was in his possession, my half-brother no less."
"We aren't brothers!"
Sesshomaru's eye twitched, and his whole body tensed, but this time he didn't attack, "So you have said, never the less the fact remains that we are blood relatives. Naraku would have a myriad of ways to use you against me."
"That still doesnÕt' explain why you're makin' me stay."
"We cannot allow you to leave in your condition and with the Shikon no Tama."
"Don't give me that crap! You made the claim before you even knew I had the jewel!" He was pretty sure that Sesshomaru hadn't known he'd had it on him. Inuyasha grabbed at his throat, determined to rip off the stupid stone once and for all, then frowned looking down when his hand met air. His stomach dropped out of him as he saw the fractured splash of the Shikon no Tama spread over his chest.
"What the hell.." he whispered. His eyes darted around the room; then he half leapt, half fell sideways off the bed, stumbling towards the full-length mirror hanging on a wardrobe.
The Shikon no Tama, no longer a marble, still looked like stone rather than skin; tentatively he reached up towards his chest. The Shikon was like smoothest of skin under his fingertips, unnaturally so, but the touch sent an odd tingle under his flesh and he dropped his hand.
An ear flicked back towards back at the creak of a floorboard and he focused on Kagome's reflection as she came cautiously round the foot of the bed.
"Inuyasha, please let me explain."
Inuyasha whirled on her, "What the fuck is this," he snarled. "What the hell have you...!"
Suddenly they were gone. He stood in front of himself, laying flat out on the ground before Kagome, her shirt gone, the same chaotic tangle of jewel blazing out from her chest, as from his. But the him on the floor was different. He could see the jewel's half-marble form stuck to his flesh with only small tendrils beginning to ooze out into the surrounding flesh. But even as he watched the jewel gave a small pulse and one line reached almost imperceptivity further out.
He came back to himself gasping. Sesshomaru was now next to Kagome, but she had a restraining hand on his arm, as though holding him back.
"What the hell was that?" Inuyasha panted.
"That was the Shikon no Tama speaking." Kagome replied simply.
He glared at her, "And what the fuck is that supposed to mean?"
"The Shikon no tama wanted to show you what you had trouble remembering. One of the ways it communicates is pretty much just showing you what it wants you to see. It can talk in other ways but we won't worry about that for now. Right now you need to get back into bed, let me finish dressing your wounds and rest up for the next couple of days. You can ask me all you want then."
Inuyasha's legs trembled slightly. He felt a bit better than he had in bathroom. He no longer felt like ripping out his stomach in pure frustration at the thing, but that all over weakness was still there. Whatever was going on it was draining his already low energies. He'd have to bide his time.
But what about Naraku?
"Naraku?" he asked. He saw Sesshomaru's lips twist in distaste but he wasn't sure if that was because he simply hadn't obeyed or because he'd said Naraku's name.
He replied in any case, "We are unsure. If he was to follow you I would have thought he would have done so already."
"That's cause he's not here right now! He'll be on my heels the moment he gets back!" Inuyasha started to look round, he eyes darting almost mournfully at the bed that he now couldn't return to. It was no good, He couldn't stay here with Naraku right on the border.
"Actaully," Kagome piped up, "I think we won't have to worry about Naraku for the time being." Both Sesshomaru and Inuyasha stared at her.
"Are you finally going to explain what you found then?" Sesshomaru asked, a terse note in his voice. She nodded but motioned towards Inuyasha.
"You get back into bed and I'll tell you."
"Like hell! I'm not doing a damn thing until you - hey what are you doin'!" Inuyasha protested as Sesshomaru was by him in second and picked him up bodily before dropping him unceremoniously on the bed - his patience clearly at an end.
Inuyasha winced slightly at the landing and would have sprang right back up but another wave of dizziness kept him down and Kagome was immediately back to work.
"You can speak and tend at the same time." Sesshomaru stated flatly, when she didn't immediately start.
Kagome gave a distracted nod, as she soaked a bandage with salve. "Right, well as best as I can see the Shikon no Tama is doing its best to get rid of the brand and it seems to be working."
Inuyasha looked at her wide-eyed, "You sure?! But how? And why didn't it do it as soon as you gave me it?"
Kagome waved her hand at Sesshomaru, "He suggested it actually, and I confirmed it when I examined you. When you first came here I got a very strong sense of Naraku's youki, it was nearly overwhelming yours."
Inuyasha's eyes widened, "But then why the hell did you insist on bringing me here? Why didn't you just blast me off these lands?"
Kagome gave him a lopsided grin, "I said 'nearly overwhelmed', but it wasn't completely and the Shikon no Tama recognized you right off."
Inuyasha thought back to that pulse of power he'd first felt from Kagome, as he'd stood, stumbling miserably, in that dell. "So it was the Shikon's power I felt from you when we first met?"
Kagome nodded, "Yeah kinda like a sonar ping of magic, checking to see you really were a ..." But she trailed off, pursing her lips as she frowned. She glanced at Sesshomaru then back at Inuyasha.
"A guardian." Sesshomaru deadpanned.
"Hmm I wonder about that actually."
"Don't you know?!" Inuyasha asked, incredulous.
She tapped a forefinger against her chin, thinking, her words coming carefully, "Well I've been calling myself a Guardian because that's what other people, who've protected it have called themselves, but now, now I'm not so sure."
"And what has made you alter your opinion?" Sesshomaru asked, and to Inuyasha's great surprise he could see a minute twitching in Sesshomaru's jaw, like he was impatient. It then occurred to Inuyasha that this woman Kagome, had frequently ignored or annoyed Sesshomaru, even in the short time he'd seen or heard them together. Pretty surprising she was still alive; maybe it has something to do with the jewel.
Maybe he could figure out how to do it too.
Kagome went on, "Well, now that I've seen what its doing I think 'Guardian' would better describe you Sesshomaru."
Sesshomaru went absolutely rigid. "Excuse me? I have no desire to have anything to do with that accursed rock."
Inuyasha felt a pang in his chest, but, oddly dijointed, like it hadn't come from him. Had it been the jewel? Kagome just shrugged her shoulders, "Like it or not that seems to be what's happening. When I gave Inuyasha's half to him and the Shikon didn't react, but wouldn't let go." She addressed Inuyasha again, "You tried to pull it off before you left didn't you?"
Inuyasha's eyebrows shot up in surprise, "Yeah, stupid thing wouldn't come off, so I figured I'd worry about it later. How'd you know?" Inuyasha saw an odd expression flit over Sesshomaru's face, but didn't know what it could mean.
Kagome tapped her chest, "The Shikon told me while you were out. I also got a few other answers from it too. I've been mulling it over and I think you and I, Inuyasha, would more appropriately be called Avatars of the Shikon no Tama."
Inuyasha was about to ask what she meant by that, but Sesshomaru interrupted "It is not important what you call yourselves. What did you find when you looked at him?" demanded Sesshomaru.
Inuyasha stared open mouthed as Sesshomaru came round to stand over Kagome, obviously trying to encourage speed with intimidation. Kagome's single raised eyebrow said it wasn't working very well.
She waved her hand casually at him, "Calm the fuck down Sessh-"
Kagome slapped a hand over her mouth, aghast, blushing furiously, as Sesshomaru stared at her. Inuyasha too felt his eyes widen. He hadn't known her very long but she didn't seem the type to just casually swear, not like he had found himself doing ever since he'd regained his freedom. A habit he'd picked up from a neighborhood kid with the first family who had adopted him.
Kagome looked up at Sesshomaru, grinning sheepishly, "Sorry about that Sesshomaru, I'm- I'm not sure where that came from." She cast an odd furtive glance at Inuyasha. "Anyway I'll tell you what I found." She turned more fully towards Inuyasha ignoring the towering Daiyoukai who was still staring down at her. "It seems that Sesshomaru's youki is driving out Naraku's and in the ensuing fight the Shikon no Tama took the chance to bond with you."
"But why didn't it do it before?" Inuyasha asked.
"Well, I don't think it liked Naraku's youki or maybe just doesn't like Naraku."
Inuyasha jabbed a finger at Sesshomaru, "And what? It thought that Sesshomaru's was just dandy did it?" Sesshomaru glared at him but didn't say anything.
Kagome grinned, "Yeah, I guess so. I think the Shikon no Tama wants to choose its own guardians now and that's why it wanted living Avatars, rather than being stuck in that marble."
"And what makes you come to this conclusion," Sesshomaru asked.
She shrugged, "Some of what the Shikon has said and some of it's just guess work on my part. Like I was saying before this isn't an exact science."
"So your hypothesis is that the Shikon no tama has elected me to this role." Sesshomaru's voice was very rigid. He didn't seem to relish that prospect at all, but Inuyasha didn't have much sympathy for him. One because the bastard didn't deserve any and two he felt Sesshomaru hadn't really gotten the raw end of this whole business.
"It's not that surprising really," Kagome expanded, her voice taking on a mentoring tone, "You've known about half the stone for decades now and haven't done a thing to get it. You're a daiyoukai and you own the territory it considers its own."
"Okay that all makes sense I guess, but why the hell did it go after me?" demanded Inuyasha.
Again that impassive shrug, it even seemed to Inuyasha that the more she spoke about the jewel the older she seemed to become. Not in looks but in her speech and her confidence.
Wait.
"How old are you?" he suddenly asked.
She gave him a crooked smile, her eyes dancing. "You should never ask a lady her age."
His reply was immediate, "I ain't, I'm asking you."
Her hand shot out and smacked him upside the head so fast he only had time to wince at the whooshing past his head. "Inuyasha!" she cried at the same time he yelled out clamping his hand to the back of his scalp.
It hadn't hurt, it hadn't done more then ruffle his hair, but it could have. She had moved inhumanly fast and as she stood there, cross look on her face, hands on hips in indignation, something in his chest eased.
Kagome really could have hurt him then and she hadn't. And there was something else too, a feeling he hadn't had in a long time, faint but still there; a sense of...camaraderie, yeah that was it. It took him a second to remember when he'd last felt it before he remembered Kouga. The feeling buzzed through him and the corner of his mouth nudged up just a bit.
She looked at him surprised before giving him another of those bright smiles, then sat back in the chair, getting back to work on his bandages.
Sesshomaru was staring at the pair of them and Inuyasha was startled to see he looked confused. It was always hard to tell with him, but even though his face was nearly as blank as ever Inuyasha was almost positive the daiyoukai was baffled. Huh, weird.
Kagome had just finished re-wrapping his wound, when Sesshomaru spoke up. "I will leave this matter for now. I must return to my estate to attend to business."
Inuyasha was about to give him a parting jibe when pain flared in his chest, a hacking cough bursting from his lungs.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried out in alarm as Sesshomaru demanded, "What has happened?"
"I don't know!" Kagome snapped back. "The jewel its...its angry or something. I can't sort out why!"
Inuyasha could here the floorboards creak as both Sesshomaru and Kagome leaned over him. Almost instantly the pain eased and he was able to gasp a lungful air, drinking it in greedily. It took his mind a second to work out what had happened and for a few moments he was struck dumb by the realization.
No. No it can't be that. Oh please don't be that.
Inuyasha looked up at the two faces staring down at him. Kagome was frowning at him, her brow wrinkled in confusion. Then she glanced over at Sesshomaru before her expression cleared in comprehension. She looked between them for a few moments before she straightened.
"Right well I have things I need to get done," she said abruptly and Inuyasha stared at her as she moved swiftly towards the door; his whole body tensing with nerves as she got further away, but nothing happened.
Sesshomaru too simply looked after her as she stepped through the door, a bemused expression flitting over his face. When she was through the door he seemed to come back to himself and with a final glance at Inuyasha moved towards the door as well.
An invisible band squeezed a fresh gasp from Inuyasha's lungs.
"Sesshomaru stop." barked Kagome as she stepped back through the door. He froze and the pressure around Inuyasha's chest eased immediately.
"What the hell?" he panted, glaring at Kagome as she came to the end of the bed.
Kagome let out an exasperated sigh, running a hand through her hair. "Sesshomaru you can't leave Inuyasha for the moment I'm afraid."
They both stared at her before they both spoke at once. "I must return to the estate." "I don't need him!"
She waited until they were both quiet again. "Right, well Sesshomaru if you want to return to your estate and your oh so vital work then I'm afraid Inuyasha will have to go with you."
"That even worse then being stuck here!" Inuyasha protested.
Kagome put her hands on her hips, "Well if you don't go Inuyasha that pain will be back the second Sesshomaru steps away."
There was silence for a moment, "Why?" Inuyasha half-growled
"Because it's not what the Shikon wants. I said before I think it wanted Avatars so that it could exert its own will. Well what it seems to want at the moment is for Sesshomaru to stay close to you. Each time he's acted like he's going to leave I get a wave of pissed off from it until he steps back."
"And why is that," asked Sesshomaru.
Kagome shrugged, "Can't say, I'm only getting emotion from it at the moment and all Inuyasha seems to be able to pick up at this point is pain."
"So what, he's gotta stay a certain distance to me now?!" Inuyasha asked, alarmed. Gods this just kept getting worse.
"I...I don't think its a matter of distance," Kagome frowned, thinking, "I think its more that he tried to leave before. Look, you're in no condition to defend yourself, Inuyasha." He immediately opened his mouth to protest, but she put a hand to forestall him. "No you're not and so it seems only natural that the Shikon wants to keep the guardian it picked out close, when its Avatar isn't it the greatest shape."
"Do you believe that to be the only reason?" Sesshomaru asked quietly. Kagome regarded him for a second.
"No," she said slowly, "But I can't figure out any other reasons at the moment. Can you?"
Sesshomaru didn't reply, simply looked away from her. Inuyasha could tell they were both keeping stuff back but he hadn't a frickin' clue what those things might be and his headache was starting to get worse. He let out a groan resting his head in his hands.
"Very well, if you think Inuyasha will remain unaffected by the relocation. I shall bring him with me."
All Inuyasha could do was let out another groan.
