Chapter Eleven
Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha and I am making no money from this.
I woke up in the morning to InuYasha growling near my head. I sat up quickly at the amount of anger I heard in the growls.
“Inuyasha, what's wrong?”
“What the hell is he doing here?” he snarled at me.
“Inuyasha, it's okay,” I told him as I glanced of at Sesshomaru, “Just...”
“Don't tell me to fucking relax, wench!” he cut me off with a snarl, “I trusted you to keep me safe! And I find you with him?! I'm better off on my own...again!”
He took off into the trees before I could say a word to stop him.
“Inuyasha!” I yelled as I jumped to my feet.
I quickly pulled on my shoes and slung my quiver and bow over my shoulder. I tucked Tessaiga in at my hip and rushed into the trees. I reached out with my reiki, trying to find Inuyasha's youki, and sobbed when I felt nothing. He was already out of my range.
'How am I going to find him?' I thought desperately.
I walked back to the camp and found that Rin had packed up my belongings for me.
“Lady Kagome, I hope you find Inuyasha soon, and that he's okay,” she told me quietly as I climbed onto Storm's back.
“Thank you, Rin,” I replied, “Will you be alright here without Sesshomaru? Where did he go?”
“Oh, Jaken and Ah-Un will keep Rin safe,” she assured me, “Lord Sesshomaru followed after Inuyasha.”
“Okay, stay safe, Rin.”
“I will, Lady Kagome.”
I guided Storm into the trees and tried to follow in the direction it looked like Inuyasha had gone in. I kept my powers stretched out, sensing the area, hoping to feel his youki somewhere nearby. Each minute that passed without the feel of him nearby made my heart ache and my stomach twist. Two hours passed before I finally felt something.
'Sesshomaru?' I thought in confusion.
I guided Storm towards the feel of Sesshomaru's youki and hoped the demon lord had found Inuyasha. I traveled for another hour before I reached Sesshomaru. I climbed off of Storm's back and drank some water before I approached the quiet demon lord.
“Why did you risk his anger by staying last night?” he asked.
“I was grateful for the help,” I told him, “And, it was...nice, to see him acting as a little brother around you.”
“Do you have a younger brother, Miko?”
“Yeah, Souta. He can be annoying and aggravating, but I love him.”
“Hn.”
I closed my eyes and gently sent my power out around the area. I could feel Inuyasha nearby and nearly collapsed in relief.
“He will not come out while I am here,” Sesshomaru stated, “I will take my leave.”
“Thank you, Lord Sesshomaru.”
He left without a word and I quietly led Storm towards the cave I could feel Inuyasha's youki coming from.
“Inuyasha,” I called softly.
He came out of the cave with his arms crossed over his chest, his hands tucked into his sleeves, and an angry glare set on his face.
“What the hell were you thinking, wench?” he snarled, “He could have killed us both and you wouldn't have been able to do anything about it.”
“He approached us with a jewel shard that Rin found,” I told him, “He told your child-self that he was your brother. You were so excited to find out you had a brother.”
“Keh,” he scoffed as he looked away.
“Inuyasha, I would not have let him hurt you,” I told him quietly, “And...I don't think our amulets would have let him either.”
He reached up and fingered the pendant that hung around his neck as he stared into the distance. He sighed heavily before he turned back to me.
“Tell me what happened while we get moving,” he told me as he jumped onto Storm's back.
I climbed onto Storm's back behind him and headed back in the direction of Kaede's village.
“You and Rin got along well,” I told him, “You played together while Sesshomaru hunted. He showed you how to eat a raw rabbit. After dinner, you and Rin played some more. Then we went to bed.”
Inuyasha was quiet for a while after I finished talking. I sighed quietly as Storm walked along. When we reached the camp site we had shared with Sesshomaru, we found they were gone.
“You need to eat,” Inuyasha stated, “Stop for a while.”
I stopped Storm and let Inuyasha jump down before I climbed down. We shared a meal from our bags before we climbed back onto Storm and left again. We traveled in silence until the sun started to set. We found a place off the road to stop for the night and set up camp. We ate quietly by the fire as the sun finished setting. After I set up the bedding and laid down, I set our barrier through Tessaiga. Inuyasha sighed as he slowly laid down next to me.
“I...I'm sorry for running off like that,” he said quietly.
“It's okay,” I told him, “I'm sure it was a shock to wake up and find him with us.”
“Keh. Good night, Kagome.”
“Good night, Inuyasha.”
I glanced up at the sky before I closed my eyes and smiled sadly at the barely there moon. I fell asleep wondering what the next day would bring.
“Gome...Gome, wake up,” I distantly heard Inuyasha's frightened whispers as I slowly woke up.
I sat straight up, wide awake, when I felt Tessaiga's youki thrum where it lay next to me. I looked at Inuyasha as he curled up in a terrified, whimpering ball in my lap. I looked around our little camp and immediately realized why he was upset and why Tessaiga was thrumming. Just outside of our little barrier was a swarm of soul collectors. I wrapped my arms around Inuyasha's shaking form and watched the snake-like demons as they glided around and through the trees outside of our barrier. Tessaiga thrummed a steady pulse beside me and I reached for it. I pulled the sword from the sheath and held it in front of me as it transformed.
“It's the stinky lady, Gome,” Inuyasha whispered in fear, “I dreamed she said she was coming for me. And now her snake things are here!”
“Calm down, sweetheart,” I whispered, “It's okay. I won't let her get to you.”
An arrow slammed into the barrier and power arced around it like a sparking power line. Tessaiga pulsed angrily in my hand and Inuyasha cried out on my lap.
“It's okay, sweetheart,” I whispered, “Our barrier will hold.”
Another arrow slammed into the barrier and Inuyasha growled as he leapt out of my lap.
“What the hell is going on, wench?”
“The barrier is being tested,” I told him as Tessaiga pulsed in my hands.
“By who?”
“Look around, Inuyasha,” I told him as I pressed the tip of Tessaiga into the ground and kneeled behind it, “I think it's pretty obvious who's doing it!”
I saw his eyes widen as he noticed the soul collectors surrounding our barrier. Another arrow slammed into another section of the barrier. He flinched and looked at me with worried golden eyes.
“Kagome?”
“I'm alright,” I told him, “The barrier will hold.”
He moved to stand next to Tessaiga and placed his small, clawed hand over mine. We heard an angry, distant shout and the soul collectors quickly left as a miasma cloud rolled through the trees and hit the barrier. Inuyasha growled angrily and Tessaiga hummed in my hand. The miasma retreated after a few minutes and we sat quietly, watching and waiting.
As the sun rose over the horizon, Sesshomaru stepped out of the tree line. Inuyasha growled beside me as the older dog demon looked over our camp.
“Naraku and the dead miko have left this area,” he stated before he turned and disappeared back into the trees.
“Inuyasha?”
“Feh. Let's get moving.”
“Alright.”
I lowered the barrier and we quickly packed up our camp before we climbed onto Storm and headed for Kaede's village. We traveled until mid-day when we stopped for lunch and a short rest.
“I think we got another two days before we get back,” Inuyasha told me.
“Okay.”
We packed up and kept moving until nightfall. We set up camp and our barrier before we ate dinner and settled in for the night.
“Good night, Inuyasha,” I told him sleepily.
“Goodnight, Kagome,” he replied softly.
I fell asleep quickly and hoped that we wouldn't have any more trouble before we reached Kaede's village.
