MAJOR SPOILERS for Inuyasha AND Inuyasha: The Final Act.

Chapter 4 – Osuwari!

Nearly one month later, things were not going so well for the Hanyou.
You see, three years before, a young girl in the village had fallen in love with the beautiful hanyou, but was treated poorly by her family once they found out. When the hanyou would never even notice her, she became bitter, and hatred grew instead, which her family fostered with their prejudice. She now held quite a grudge.
A few days after Inuyasha’s return from his time with Sesshoumaru, a witch travelling the forests had stopped at the village. While Kaede had tried to stop it, the superstitious human villagers had listened to the old hag.
Without Kaede’s knowledge, the young woman met the witch in the forest and bought a charm from her, one that would allow her to control the hanyou just like the slutty miko from before had. She kept it a secret from everyone, but couldn’t wait to try it.
Only a few weeks later, she had her chance.

***

The village had come under attack, but not from youkai.
A human army was marching through the area, and one smaller group of about 100 soldiers decided to break away from the main force and loot the village for whatever was there to eat and drink. Inuyasha had seen them coming and told Kaede to get the women and children to safety and gather the village men to defend against any humans he missed. However, the villagers, not seeing the army, started screaming at him.
“How dare you think to attack humans?!”
“We knew you were only waiting for your chance!”
Kaede tried to calm them, but they were in a frenzy of ignorance and misunderstanding.
Looking over their heads to see the flaming arrows start flying, and then setting some of the buildings alight, Inuyasha ignored the stupid humans and quickly removed his Fire Rat suikan. Giving it to Kaede, he pushed her towards the temple. Before anything more could be said or done, the group of soldiers descended upon them.

Two nights before they were to meet, Sesshoumaru was patrolling his borders. At least, that was the excuse he was using. He was right on the edge of the borders for the Western Lands, about five miles from the Forest of Inuyasha. He had been hoping to see his brother, perhaps satisfy more of his curiosity, and see what he did during the month of days before they met.
He was perched on the edge of a large cliff. Looking at the darkened sky, he watched the small sliver of Moon still visible. ‘Tomorrow night is the night of the New Moon,’ he thought. He had always loved that night for the simple fact that watching the stars became easier. This night was cold and crisp, with the stars twinkling in the chilly air.
He caught movement on the earth below and noticed a large human army on the move. ‘Ridiculous humans, constantly warring against each other for minimal gains. It is a wonder they survive as a species,’ he thought.
Then he noticed a small group break away from the main force and begin moving in the direction of that pitiful village his brother protected.
‘Maybe I can watch him fight,’ the Youkai Lord thought, feeling a frisson of excitement chase up his spine.
Just as that crossed his mind, Jaken arrived on A-Un. He very nearly flew off again in fear of the look his Lord gave him. Unfortunately, this same Lord was now holding the reins of the dragon, and sadly, the kappa could not fly on his own.
“Jaken, you had best have a good reason for appearing here, when I left you with strict instructions to stay with Rin.”
The kappa was instantly kneeling before his Lord, his beak pressed to the ground. “Yes, Milord! Young Rin seems to be sick! I am here to request permission to bring a human healer into the castle!”
Sesshoumaru’s eyes narrowed. The only reason for this request would be if the palace healer could do nothing. A rarity to be sure, but not impossible. It seemed some human illnesses, especially those with multiple variants, were something he had no good luck with.
Instead of giving his permission, he took to the sky, heading back to his castle, worried for his human daughter.
On arriving, he gathered the human healer from the village below the castle and brought her to Rin. After a short time, the healer was able to give her the proper medicine. She assured Sesshoumaru it was only a flu, slightly different from last year’s, yet one quite normal for human children to get.
Sesshoumaru arranged for his most trusted guards to protect the girl, and then he punished Jaken. ‘Complete idiocy. All he needed to do was get the healer himself. He had the authority to protect Rin, and this would have been part of that.’
With that, he sped back to the east, angry that he had probably squandered an opportunity to watch his brother fight. He knew beyond any doubt that in the short time he had been gone, Inuyasha would have dispatched them all already.

***

Of course, the villagers quickly realized their mistake and began to fight back, but it was far too late.
As the sun fell below the horizon, Inuyasha had managed to lure most of the soldiers quite a ways away from the village. A brilliant red and white speck darting through the Forest of Inuyasha, wielding a magnificent, six-foot sword being followed by dark-armored warriors was hard to miss. He was just turning to face them in battle when the impossible happened.
From the opposite side of the village, he heard an unfamiliar female voice shriek, “Osuwari!!!”
With that one treacherous word, the Hanyou was wrenched violently to the ground. Unfortunately, the witch’s charm also increased the power of the rosary, so instead of being able to rise almost immediately, the Hanyou was kept on the ground for nearly a full minute, as though a mountain were on top of him. He tried to push against it, but just like when Kagome had used the command before, he couldn’t move at all until the spell released its hold.
This gave the soldiers the opening they needed. Stabbing down with their spears, they pinned the Hanyou to the earth.
His blood was running freely now, draining down the spears and into the grass below him. His only thoughts were, amazingly, of Sesshoumaru. ‘I wonder how Sesshoumaru’ll react when I don’t meet him at the cave?’
That thought brought on one more. ‘Ahh, now I know why I’m so weak. The New Moon is tomorrow night…’
The darkness then rushed in to claim its prize.

Japanese terms used in this chapter:
suikan: Inuyasha's red wide-sleeved jacket is called a suikan, it is a sort of hunting jacket with squared shoulders and wide sleeves. The sleeves are slit open above the shoulders, and the cuffs have a string woven through them called a sode-kukuri. (http://hagakureproductions.tripod.com/clothes.htm)
Fire Rat suikan: The Robe of the Fire Rat was created from the fur of a youkai animal, and has some youkai abilities: ~The Robe is completely fireproof. When a wearer is sufficiently covered, they are protected from both heat and flame. Afterwards, the Robe shows no sign of being burned or even singeing. ~Acts as armor, being able to deflect regular swords powered by human strength. A youkai weapon can cut it, however.
Osuwari: (おすわり”Sit”) The kotodama-word Kagome uses in the series to subjugate Inuyasha. The word "osuwari" is a sit command used specifically for dogs, which is why the beads don't activate whenever Kagome tells him to sit down. In Inuyasha's case, the beads are pretty much the equivalent of a collar or a choke-chain, maybe even a shock-collar, considering he's a dog demon.
