Chapter 10: Fear, Fear and more Fear

A/N: It’s been a long time coming and it’s here. Another chapter, Enjoy!!!

“Mandisa calm down, I didn’t mean to frighten you…” Kagome said with urgency as she sat with her legs crossed to the right Mandisa. Concern appeared on Kagome’s face as she looked at the new woman from the future…and with good reason. Mandisa looked as if she was having a full blown panic attack…

“He, he, he’s a what!” She said shooting to her feet, wringing her hand and looking around her surroundings as if she was watching for a certain someone to pounce on her at any moment. In essence the archeologist from the future was terrified!

She wanted to bolt out of the flap that covered the entrance into Kaede hut and run as far away from the daiyoukai as possible. But with her injured ankle and her racing thoughts of what could happened if she left on her own or worst, what could happen if she stayed, had her shaking like a leaf, standing in the same spot where she once sat.

Earlier…

The older miko had left to tend to the ill villagers and collect herbs. Everyone one else was out and about. Rin was spending time with Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha was out relaxing in his favorite tree after a particular busy day of youkai slaying with the monk and Miroku and Sango were busy tending to their three small children.

That just left Kagome to tend to Mandisa’s injured ankle and Mandisa to grit her teeth and clench her eyes shut in pain. To take Mandisa mind off of all the turbulence she had experience in the past two days, which was a lot from what the archeologist told her, Kagome being her usual outgoing cheerful self decided to strike up another conversation. The two learned a lot from each other. Mandisa learned about the rubs and herbs Kagome was using to treat her injury as well as other herbs that may be helpful to her during her unintended visit to the warring states era. Mandisa made it clear that she did not want to make said era her permanent home. However, she did indicate that despite her fear, her curiosity as an archeologist had her intrigued to say the least. She actually had a strong interest in youkai. Where did they come from, where any of the legends from her time true? What happen to them before her time? Had they become extinct like the dinosaurs from million years prior or did they still exist in her time without her or any human for that matter knowledge? Then she wondered if the “UFO’s” or “aliens” people claimed to have seen were in fact youkai running around in her era? She thought of these things as Kagome continue to give her information about the time she was currently in.

Kagome also talked about the village the different work and activities that take place and Kagome even told her about how the gang met, the adventures they had and how they stopped one of the most evil, vile youkai they have ever come across.

Mandisa was all ears cursing the fact that she didn’t have a camera or a tape recorder, so she could prove to those in her time that she visited the past. And she was determined to do so since she decided to keep looking until she found a doorway back home. All she had to record what she was being told was her memory and some scrolls she asked to borrow along with a feathered pen to write what she heard and to draw some illustrations. She asked questions about the possible affects any person from the future will have on the past, the traditions they have and she even asked questions about the existence of youkai in her time. Kagome didn’t know if the UFO and alien sights were caused by youkai activity. Actually Kagome had never thought that UFO’s or aliens were really youkai. However, she did state that she believed that it was a possibility and told Mandisa about the Noh Mask and the other youkai she encountered in the future that spirited away the souls of deceased children, the Soul Piper. Mandisa continued to ask questions and listened well after her ankle was bandaged up, she relieved herself, freshen up and ate a hot meal of rice, rolls and fish.

It seemed as if hours had past as the continued to talk. She asked additional questions about youkai, what type they were, whether or not they were fallen angels or something else.

‘Just to confirm what “Silver” said’ she told herself.

Even though he saved her butt more than once, she was taught never to trust a youkai. Especially the beautiful ones. After all it is said that the Devil himself was the most beautiful of all the angels and she couldn’t help but think about all of the pain she feels he has caused and continues to inflict. She was starting to think that there were certain exceptions to the rule of trusting youkai. Maybe some of them can be trusted. Mainly because he could have let her become youkai chow on more than one occasion but didn’t. However, she still had her doubts. After all Sesshoumaru in her eyes was a gorgeous creature. And if he was anything like the leader of fallen angels, he was nothing but bad news. However, he unlike the Devil did not hide his bad attitude and he didn’t seem to be the sneaky underhanded type. In her mind, she thought that if he wanted to do her harm, he would have done so by now and would have let her know that pain, suffering and death was coming her way before she met her end. But as her mom used to tell her, “you can be too careless, but never too careful”.

Mandisa listened as Kagome explained that a lot of the youkai or spirits with flesh were creatures of human emotions, objects, elements, plants and even animals.

Curious and beyond intrigued, the archeologist asked “what type of youkai was Sesshoumaru?” When she was able to stumble out his name of course. She thought that he was perhaps an elemental, a wind youkai since she noticed that the wind seems to stop or start in his presence. As if he had control over it.

The answer she got was the last thing she expected and was certain NOT something she wanted to hear. That the cranky, bossy, mysterious, sometimes scary and beautiful daiyoukai she had been hanging out with for about two days was really a…a…a… DOG!!! A BIG FUCKIN DOG!!!

Mandisa feared dogs more than any other creature on the plant. Even more than snakes, alligators, sharks, kimono dragons, and any other dangerous predator including wolves and that big ass Minotaur that attacked her when she first arrived in the warring states era. This was due to the fact that she almost met her maker at a very early age because of an attack she suffered by three hungry dogs. She still carries the emotional and physical scars to prove it…

“What the hell is all the racket in here?” Inuyasha stated irritability.

He usual fussy self came bursting in the hut ready to tear into Mandisa hide with his words for disturbing his rest and hurting his ears. He saw and smelled no danger, but could stiff out the new human fear, even if he was miles away! And with no danger around he became ticked off at the archeologist.

‘What the fuck is she so scared of anyway, their nothing here!’ He thought. Kagome answered the question he was yet to voice…

“I accidently made her terrified of Sesshoumaru.” She said standing up, grabbing Mandisa left hand and rubbing it. She tried to talk her into relaxing and sitting back down. Kagome knew that Mandisa didn’t need to put any more pressure on her injured ankle than she already had and she didn’t need to over exert herself.

Inuyasha next words didn’t help the situation…

“What else is new, everybody scared of that bastard… He’s fuckin creepy. Well except the kid, but she weird anyway so that doesn’t count…”

“Inuyasha, will you stop making things worst before I S.I.T you until the middle of the next century! And Rin is not weird she’s a sweet heart that can see goodness in anyone.” Kagome said in reprimand as she continues to try to calm the frantic woman down and glaring at Inuyasha who now stood in front of them as the women backs was turned towards the hut entrance.

“You better not dare…” Before Inuyasha could finish his command, he was cut off by a weak voice mumbling…

“No, that can’t be right; you have got to be fucking kidding me. Right…I mean he can’t be he just can’t. I mean he looks like us for the most part except for the ears…teeth and claws, he walks on two legs not four and those markings on his face are just some sort of body art or war paint right?... How the hell is this possible! He can my luck be this fucked up!” Her voice went from mumbling to louder octaves as she rambled away shaking like a leaf.

She looked to Kagome for confirmation of her words but to no avail.

“It’s all true, he’s an Inu youkai, but if he’s not nearly as bad as you think. In fact he has been a huge help to us when we really needed it and he even has an affinity for children. He protected, Kohaku and Rin when Naraku was on the loose. Isn’t that right Inuyasha?” Kagome looked at Inuyasha asking for assistance.

“Feh.”

“Inuyasha.” Kagome said more firmly.

Inuyasha let out a growl of frustration with his wife.

“Yeah, yeah the bastard made himself useful in getting rid of an even bigger bastard. There I said it ya happy.” Inuyasha admitted with a sour taste in his month.

But if it would get the women from the future to shut up and get rid of the overwhelming smell of fear he’ll swallow his pride and admit that his elder brother did help him in the most difficult battle in his life. Besides he did not feel like getting S.I.T. into the middle of the next century. That shit would hurt like hell!

Kagome looked at Mandisa to see her reaction. As she looked at her she couldn’t help but think:

‘He used to be a terrible cold blooded jerk, but he has come a long way’.

She thought it was best to keep the information about the daiyoukai past bad behavior to herself. Mandisa was freaked out enough as it was. She just hoped Inuyasha had sense enough to do the same.

“You two are brothers.” Mandisa said as she looked up at Inuyasha noting the similarities and differences between the two.

She acted as if what Kagome and Inuyasha had just said went in one ear and came out of the other. The words seemed to have decline the important duty of making a pit stop in her brain so she could have time to process them before making a hasty exit.

“Half- brother but yeah. What of it.” Inuyasha said with an attitude as if he was getting offended by her question.

“That means you’re an Inu youkai right.”

“Yeah, so what. You got a problem with that”. Inuyasha sensitivity increased. He wasn’t going to tell her about the half human part. After all he didn’t know her that well just yet. But he was getting more irritated with the human than he already was. What’s her deal with Inus was anyway!?

Mandisa paused for a one second…two…three…four…five…six…

“Mandisa you have got to breathe!” Kagome said shaking her.

She breathed alright…

“Ahhhhhhh! GET AWAY FROM ME!” And finally her body decided to follow her brain, broke free from Kagome’s hold, forgot about her injured ankle and ran faster than she thought was possible, forgetting about the whole “there may be exceptions to the “never trust a youkai rule”. All she could think about was the words Inu youkai…Dog Demon…Dog Demons…not singular but plural, DOG FUCKING DEMONSSSSSSSS…

“What the fuck!” Inuyasha said gritting his teeth due to the pain in his ears and the increase of the fear smell two fold.

“Mandisa wait!” Kagome said as she took off after her. Shaking his head to clear the cobb webs he took off after the woman as well. Miroku and Sango living next door heard the screams of the archeologist over the noises their overactive children were making and ran out to see what all the ruckus was about.

They saw the new woman fleeing as if her tail was on fire, Kagome chasing after her and Inuyasha following behind. Inuyasha did NOT want that woman to scream as loud as she did right by his sensitive ears again, yet he didn’t want the stupid woman to run off and get herself killed either. So he chased her, but didn’t use his full speed.

“Mandisa stop!” Kagome shouted again.

‘Man that girl could run even with an injured ankle.’ Kagome thought.
Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku inwardly had similar thoughts at the same time. As if they could read each other minds.

“What happened Inuyasha?” Miroku asked as he joined the chase.

Sango ended up staying home with the children and hauling them in the house. The children wanted to play tag, a game the young miko taught them, and thought they were missing out on all of the fun.

“She’s a nut that’s what happened!” Inuyasha said with frustration, they still hadn’t managed to catch her, but then again Inuyasha was hoping to avoid the screams and that maybe she would tire herself out. A voice that loud to an Inu hanyou ears is scary to say the least.

“What?” Miroku asked.

“Let just say she doesn’t like Inus!”

“Ah, I see.” The monk understood, quick to catch on as usual.

“Mandisa please, it’s dangerous out here where will you go anyway.” Kagome said trying to reason with the girl. They had been running at least a good ten minutes straight and Kagome was athletic due to her years in the warning states area, but could not catch the woman. Apparently fear was a powerful adrenaline boost.

“Anywhere but here!” She shouted back!

“To hell with this!” Inuyasha shouted. He flattens his ears picked up speed and begun to leap through the trees. He was about to land right behind her and tackle her butt to the ground, but as he leaped down, a wall appeared in front of the archeologist. Mandisa didn’t even notice the wall until a hands reached out, grabbed her shoulders and stopped her momentum. She almost crashed right into the wall, which would have added additional injuries to her already bruised body. The halt she had to make almost made her bounce backwards from the force of the stop if it wasn’t for hands holding her upright. She had what little wind she had left knocked out of her from the sudden stop looked up and saw narrow golden eyes staring back at her in silence.

‘There’s that sound again…what could those youkai possible want with this sickly human. What purpose could she have?” Sesshoumaru thought referring to the youkai who disappeared earlier in the forest as she begins to struggle in his grab to no avail. In fact, he didn’t need to put forth any effort to hold her in place. This only increased her fear as her struggles continued.

Sesshoumaru figured that he would never know what her purpose was if she were to die. Ironic since the old Sesshoumaru would have been the one to kill her merely for being a nuisance a few years prior.

“Thank you for your help Sesshoumaru.” Kagome said as she tried to catch he own breath.

“Yes she is a quick one.” Miroku commented. Then he saw that the woman was gasping as she struggled and asked:

“What’s wrong with her? Her breathing seems erratic.”

“Yeah what the hell is that sound she is making? And what the hell are you doing?” Inuyasha added as the daiyoukai seemed to be sniffing her, as if he was looking for something.

As all three approached a low growl hauled them in their tracks.

“I leave you with the task to watch one human for a short time, yet you let her end up in this state.” He said in a low voice, indicating that the daiyoukai was not too happy.

Frowning Inuyasha replied:

“What the hell are you talking about? This isn’t our fault! She got spooked and ran off. Can’t blame her since she has been around you. Why is she so important to you anyway?”

“Are you as careless with Rin.” He stated more than asked, ignoring Inuyasha earlier comments.

“Of course not, we take excellent care of Rin. You can see that for yourself. Now let us help her, she’s sick.” Kagome protested with a frown.

‘Man no matter how much that guy changes for the better he can still be a major jerk.’ Kagome thought.

“What’s that ya prick…Rin?” Inuyasha stopped his rant of verbal assaults when he noticed Rin coming closer.

Then Rin interjected and said:

“Lord Sesshoumaru, they are really responsible and look out for Rin. But why did this lady leave the village. She looks like she’s scare of something?” Rin was there the whole time observing what was happening from a distance and ran up to the group when Sesshoumaru demanded to know about the care she was receiving.

“Sesshoumaru let us help; I think she’s having an asthma attack!” Kagome said.
“Perhaps it would be best for you and Inuyasha to give her some breathing room. Maybe her symptoms will improve.” Miroku said knowing about the woman fear of the two Inu brothers.

Inuyasha only “Feh” and complied. He was pissed that she had a problem with Inu but he did want the human to kill over because of it. Hence why he backed away.

“…”

Ignoring them all, Sesshoumaru reminded silent as he sat Mandisa on the ground against her will, went into her pockets, and obtain the strange small bottle that contained her medication. With one arm he held her back towards his front and forcibly opened her month with his hand. His claws only dig slightly into her face, making impressions but not drawing blood. She winced and tears begin to come to her eyes. Not from the impressions on her face, but from the entire situation. Her ankle hurt like hell, she could breathe, she lost her friends and she was surrounding by what she feared most. Dogs.

Tears begin to escape her eyes and Inuyasha frowned. He always hated it when someone cries especially women and children. And he had enough consideration not to yell at her about it like he usually would because of the given situation. He didn’t yell at Sesshoumaru either since he could smell the meds the older daiyoukai found in the woman pocket and figured that whatever it was would make it possible for her to breathe again.

Shaking the meds Sesshoumaru snatched from her pocket he shoved the open part of the container into her month, not to gently with his other hand. When Mandisa realized what he was doing, she calmed down enough for him to administer her medications the way he had seen her do it.

With her energy feeling completely drained she unwilling fell asleep in his arms.

“Explain.” Sesshoumaru said in a commanding tone as he laid the human on the ground and stood up facing his brother.

“I’ll tell ya what happen; she is scared shitless of Inu, Inu youkai and especially you…”
