Chapter Fourteen
The next
two days passed uneventfully. Kagome had her tests to study for and take, and
most of her time was consumed by those two things. Inuyasha stayed behind with
Yukio when Kagome went to school, but he would bring Yukio to her during her
lunch break. She had half an hour for lunch and she would sneak up to the roof
of the school. There Inuyasha would give her his haori,
her lunch and the baby, and sit next to her while she ate her lunch and nursed
Yukio. When she was finished, she would change him quickly and give him back to
his father, then she would return to her classroom and Inuyasha would bring the
baby back to the shrine.
On Friday
morning she had her worst test: math, and she came out
of it feeling fairly confident that she’d done well. The test finished just at noon, and she hurried to turn it in and get up
to the roof where she knew Inuyasha would be waiting for her. She was in such a
rush that she didn’t notice the older woman she passed in the hall; the one who
frowned when she saw Kagome and followed her into the stairwell.
“I’m sorry
I’m late,” Kagome apologized breathlessly, crossing the roof and joining
Inuyasha by the sidethe the utility room on top of the school.
He snorted
at her and gave her his haori.
“How did
the test go?” he asked.
She slipped
the red garment over her shoulders, sat down, and reached for Yukio. “I think I
did well.”
He handed
her the baby, who had already begun to fuss at the scent and sight of his
mother.
“That’s
good.”
“Mmm hmmm,” she agreed, lifting her uniform top and undoing
the nursing flap on the bra.
She didn’t
cover herself and the baby with the haori. Yukio’s
latest thing was to try to push and kick it away when she draped it over his
head. It was as if he wanted to be able to see her face while he nursed and no
longer liked being covered up. Now she took the sleeve of the haori and draped it over the top of her breast, hiding her
skin from view, but leaving Yukio uncovered. The compromise kept Yukio happy,
but didn’t leave her feeling exposed.
“Your last
test is this afternoon?” Inuyasha asked, sitting close and watching her feed
Yukio the way he always did.
“Yes. History. Then I’m done.”
He nodded, an odd gleam in his eyes. “Then we can go back,
can’t we Kagome? We can go back tonight?”
She sighed.
So much for a couple of quiet days in her time. ‘Well, I suppose I really can’t complain. He
did give me five days here without too much fuss, and he’s done a wonderful job
of looking after Yukio.’
“We need to
go shopping for supplies, but yes, after that we can go.”
“Good. I
want to get the pup back home. The air here is no good for him, and you’re
almost out of liver.”
‘And you want to get back to a place
where you don’t have to hide what you are,’ she mentally added, noting the
ball cap he wore to cover his ears. Yukio didn’t have a hat on, but no one ever
saw him because Inuyasha kept him in his baby sling and moved too fast for
normal humans to see.
“I’m eager
to get back too. I miss Shippo, Sango and the others.
But I want to come back for my birthday.”
“When is
it?”
“Next
month. I’m sure my friends will want to throw a party for me because I’ll be
seventeen.”
He nodded
and she saw him make a mental note of it. “Are these the friends I met that
time?”
“Yeah, Ayumi, Eri
and Yuka.”
“And that
guy… that Hojou guy. Him too?” he asked, his voice
already holding a hint of jealousy.
“Probably. But I’ve told you before,
I’m not interested in Hojou.”
Yukio
wanted to be switched so she undid the nursing flap on the other side and moved
him over, draping the haori sleeve across her breast.
“Is he a
threat to the pup? Will he try to hurt Yukio because I’m the rival male?”
She blinked
at him, stunned. “No, not at all. We don’t do things
like that, Inuyasha.”
He gave a
grunt of acknowledgment.
“You wanted
a week?” he asked.
She was
shocked that he remembered. “Y… Yes. If I may.”
He frowned.
“I’ll give you three days.”
She frowned
back. “Five.”
“Four and
not a day more!” he countered with finality.
“Okay,
four, but you have to come with me to help take care of Yukio.”
He nodded. “Of course.”
“He’s
starting to teethe. I can feel the bumps on his gums,” she commented.
Inuyasha
agreed. “His fangs will come in first.”
She nodded,
looking down at the baby who was looking up at her, big golden eyes staring at
her as he fed. She smiled at him and stroked his puppy ears.
“My little
big dog,” she cooed to him.
“Feh!” Inuyasha snorted, but then
his head whipped around.
“What is
it?” she asked, seeing the look on his face and getting worried.
“Someone’s
here,” he replied.
As if on
cue, a female figure came into view, walking carefully and obviously looking
for something. The newcomer turned and saw them sitting against the utility
room exterior wall. Kagome recognized the woman and gasped, her blood turning
cold. Inuyasha, reacting to her obvious upset, began to growl warningly as she
shrank back behind him, trying to shield Yukio from view.
“Higurashi Kagome,” the doctor from Monday said coldly,
coming towards them. “I came here to your school to make sure you were doing as
ordered. I see that you are not. I will…”
She was cut
off by an extremely pissed off hanyou grabbing her by the throat. He’d moved so
fast that he’d been nothing more than a growling red blur before his inhumanly
strong hand was wrapped around her neck.
“You!” he
snarled. “I know your stinking scent. You’re that bitch doctor!”
The cap had
become dislodged in his leap to grab her, revealing his ears- ears that were
now pinned flat against his head in fury. The older woman saw the dog ears
sticking out from the mass of silver hair and her eyes opened wide, even as her
face began to turn blue from lack of air. She scratched weakly at Inuyasha’s
hand and wrist, but her struggles were useless.
“You’re the
one who made Kagome cry! You’re the one who hurt her and made her feel dirty
for feeding a motherless pup. Just who the hell do you think you are, bitch?”
“Inuyasha,”
Kagome begged, standing and tentatively making her way
over to where he was strangling the woman. Yukio had stopped nursing when he
heard and felt the upset, and was now letting out little whimpers of distress
that could easily graduate into his trademark wails if things didn’t calm down
soon.
‘Please. If he starts howling, the whole
school will come running up here and I’ll be done for.’
“Inuyasha, please let her go.”
The enraged
hanyou just continued to growl and lifted the kicking woman off the ground by
her neck.
“Inuyasha,
don’t make me subdue you. Let her go right now!” she cried desperately.
With a
final snarl, he dropped the doctor unceremoniously to the rooftop. She crumpled
in a sprawling heap, her hands going to her throat as she gasped for air. He
stood over her, a menacing look on his face, and kept placing himself in her
line of sight every time she tried to look at Kagome and the baby.
“What… what
are you?” she rasped, she staring up at him, her throat raw.
“Your worst nightmare, bitch.”
“Inuyasha,”
Kagome scolded gently, coming to stand beside him. She held Yukio close, but he
was thankfully calming down now that she was relaxing.
There was
an eerie silence. Kagome looked down at the terrified and shocked doctor,
knowing full well that the older woman could see that Yukio had dog ears, and a
strange calm came over her. Inuyasha stood at her shoulder and together they
presented a unified front. A gentle wind blew through their hair as they stared
the doctor down and time seemed to stop for a long, breathless moment.
Kagome knew
she should be stunned, horrified and worried sick at the repercussions of what
was happening, but she felt oddly detached from it. What was done was done and
there was nothing she could do about it. Inuyasha was there and she knew he
would protect her, and Yukio was safe in her arms. The doctor was helpless to
do anything against them, and the knowledge brought her peace. She raised her
chin proudly and lifted her son closer to her chest, allowing him to turn and
look down at the woman as well. The doctor’s eyes opened even wider when she
saw the infant’s golden eyes.
Inuyasha
snarled and stepped forward, blocking the doctor’s view again. She skittered
backwards on her hands and rear end, her feet scraping along the rough rooftop.
“Quit
staring, bitch. You don’t have the right to even look at her, you worthless
hag. If I had my way, I’d rip you to shreds for what you did to Kagome, and it
is by her grace and kindness alone that I let you live,” he seethed, sounding
more like his half-brother than he ever had.
The woman
stammered incoherently, her mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water.
“But I warn
you. If you ever come anywhere near Kagome or my son ever again I.
Will. Kill! You! Now get the fuck out of my sight, bitch, before I really
lose my temper!” he ordered, backing up his threat with a vicious snarl as he
drew Tessaiga and brandished it in front of him.
With a
choked scream, the woman scrambled to her feet and ran, practically pissing
herself to get away. Inuyasha gave a satisfied grunt and sheathed Tessaiga as she nearly threw herself down the exit stairs,
the rooftop door banging heavily behind her.
“I should ‘s’ you a dozen times for the language you just
used,” Kagome said as she rejoined him.
He tensed,
waiting for the threatened punishment, but it never came. Instead, her head
pressed softly to his shoulder and she sighed.
“But I’m
not going to because I understand completely.”
“Feh,” he replied, putting a protective arm around her.
Yukio
burbled and yipped.
