Chapter 4

I woke in the morning to find Inuyasha leaning over me, glaring down at me.

“Inuyasha? What's wrong?” I asked sleepily.

“Keh. What the hell are we doing here, wench?” he asked grumpily.

I looked at him wide-eyed for a minute before my still sleep-dulled mind realized what was happening.

“We all thought you might be safer here with this spell still on you,” I told him.

“Why? You don't trust our pack?” he accused angrily.

“I trust them, Inuyasha,” I told him quietly, “I don't trust Her, and I don't trust you not to run after her if she showed up while you're...adult-minded.”

“Who the fuck are you talking about, wench?” he growled.

“Inuyasha,” I sighed heavily.

“Who fucking did this to me, Ka-Go-Me?” he snarled.

“Kikyo,” I told him firmly, “Kikyo put this spell on you.”

“Well...she...she must have had a reason,” he stuttered.

“Right, because it makes perfect sense to put a spell on you that makes you easier to kill,” I agreed sarcastically.

“Shut up, wench,” he growled.

I let go of Tessaiga and sat up on my bed. He crouched next to me and gave the pajamas he had on an annoyed look.

“What the fuck am I wearing?”

“Some old clothes of Souta's,” I told him as I got up.

I handed him his clothes as I grabbed clean clothes for myself and left the room. I went to the bathroom and pulled on the clothes I'd grabbed before I brushed out my hair. I sighed as I went back to my room. I saw him dressed and pouting at his sword. I tucked Tessaiga into the tie around my waist and Inuyasha followed me quietly downstairs. We walked into the kitchen and Mama smiled at us.

“Good morning, dears,” she greeted us, “What are we doing today?”

“Apparently, every fourth day, he gets his adult-mind back,” I told her, “We're going to go see Kaede and Miroku today.”

“Alright,” she said, “Come back in time for dinner, I'll have Ramen for you, Inuyasha.”

“Keh. You ready yet, Ka-Go-Me?”

I rolled my eyes as I grabbed my bow and quiver of arrows from the hook Mama had put in by the door. I slipped on my sandals and waved goodbye to Mama as Inuyasha followed me outside. We walked into the well house and I picked him up despite his angry and annoyed growling. I jumped into the well and set him down once we landed on the other side. He glared at me before he climbed quickly out of the well. I shook my head and used the vines to climb out. He was already stomping angrily towards the village. I caught up to him and walked quietly beside him.

“I'm sorry,” he mumbled, “Not mad at you, just...I'm fucking helpless, Kagome.”

“I understand why you're upset,” I told him quietly, “I'm here though, Inuyasha. I won't let anything happen to you.”

“Keh. I'm supposed to protect you, wench,” he growled, “Not the other way around.”

“Inuyasha, we protect each other,” I told him, “And that's okay. There's nothing wrong what that. It's what friends do.”

“Feh.”

We walked quietly to the village and over to Kaede's hut. Shippo race outside to greet us with Kirara on his head and the others right behind him.

“Kagome! Inuyasha!” Shippo greeted us happily, “Wanna go play Inuyasha?”

Inuyasha mad a face like he was trying not to say something and I looked at Miroku.

“Actually, Shippo,” I intervened, “We came to talk to Kaede and Miroku. It wasn't a one time thing. Today is the eighth day with the spell, and his mind is adult.”

“I see,” Kaede said, “Well, come inside, there is leftover breakfast that you are welcome to.”

We followed Kaede into the hut and the others followed as well. I sat down near Kaede and Shippo climbed into my and sat, staring dejectedly at the fire. I gave him a hug as Inuyasha sat down between me and Kaede.

“Shippo, why are you pouting?” I asked quietly.

“I'm not.”

“Keh, you are too, runt,” Inuyasha scoffed.

“Am not.”

“Are too.”

“Am not!”

“Are too!”

“No, I'm not!”

“Yes, you are, Runt!”

“Both of you, stop it!” I said loudly.

Shippo jumped off of my lap and glared at Inuyasha.

“I liked you better as a little kid!” he yelled.

“Oi! Stupid runt!” Inuyasha yelled as he lunged at Shippo.

Inuyasha swung his arm out to thump Shippo, as he always does, at the same time that I moved to separate them. His claws caught my left arm, dragging down from the side to soft underside. I yelped in surprised pain. Shippo dropped to his butt, his nose twitching as he caught the scent of my blood. Inuyasha stared at my arm with wide eyes as he pulled his hand back. His ears twitched wildly on his head as he lifted his hand and looked at his claws. He looked up at me and his ears drooped lower than I'd ever seen them before.

“Ka...Kagome...I...” he stuttered.

I knelt down in front of him to try and get his attention as he turned to stare at the floor. I could tell that he was going into shock.

“Inuyasha, it's okay,” I told him softly, “It's not as bad as it looks. It was an accident.”

“I...I hurt you,” he whimpered.

“I'm alright,” I insisted.

Inuyasha growled softly as he gently grabbed my elbow so that he could see my arm. He pushed up my sleeves and whined softly when he saw the blood and claw marks.

“Kagome...” he whispered.

Kaede set a rag and a bowl of water beside him and, without even looking, Inuyasha picked up the rag and dipped it in the water before gently cleaning the blood off of my arm. When my arm was clean, Kaede held out a jar of medicine to him. He gently spread the herbal smelling paste over the claw marks before taking the bandages Kaede quietly held out to him. He wrapped my arm and stared at it for several long moments.

“You should have just left me to die when this spell changed me,” he said quietly.

“Don't you ever say something like that again,” I told him firmly.

I pulled him into my arms and held him tightly, not caring if it annoyed him or made him angry.

“You are my best friend, Inuyasha,” I told him, “I will never leave you behind. We protect each other.”

“Keh. Some protector,” he snarled, “I'm supposed to protect you and instead, I slashed your arm open.”

“I'm okay, Inuyasha,” I insisted, “It was an accident.”

He pulled away from me and flinched when he saw the blood on my shirt and on his claws.

“We'll be back in a little bit,” I told the others.

I picked him back up before he could protest and left the hut. I carried him down to the river before I set him down. I pulled off the top coat like layer I was wearing and started to rinse out the blood on the sleeve. He sat quietly beside me for a minutes and just watched.

“It's on your undershirt too,” he told me.

“I know, as soon as I have this rinsed out, I'll get the undershirt rinsed.”

He sat down with his back to me while I rinsed out the sleeves on my shirts. When I finished, I made sure everything was tied back into place and turned my attention to him as he looked at the tree line.

“Inuyasha, come here.”

He turned around and stood beside. I gently took his right arm and put it in the water. He looked at me in surprise as I gently rubbed his fingers and claws to rinse off the blood. He sighed as he watched me.

“The scent of blood takes a day or two, at least, to go away,” he told me quietly, “You can't make it go away.”

“I know,” I told him, “I'm doing this so that you'll relax, or at least stop being so hard on yourself.”

“I can't,” he said quietly, “I...I hurt you, Kagome. My claws drew your blood.”

“Inuyasha, it was an accident. I shouldn't have reached between you and Shippo.”

“Kagome...”

“No. Inuyasha, it was an accident.”

We sat quietly by the water for several long minutes before he spoke again.

“I'm sorry,” he said quietly, “I”m sorry that I hurt you. And I'm sorry that I'm being so difficult.”

“It's a difficult situation, Inuyasha. I understand.”

“I think...I remember bits and pieces between now and the last time I was like this,” he told me, “I...I'm...glad that I'm with you, Kagome.”

“I'll take care of you, Inuyasha,” I told him, “Until we find a way to fix this, or it fixes itself, or if you...if you stay like this forever. I'll take care of you. I promise.”

He leaned into my side and I wrapped my arm around him as he blushed in embarrassment. A soft mew from behind us had us turn around to see Kirara watching us from the path.

“I'm guessing they want to see if we're coming back.”

“Keh.”

“Are you ready?” I asked him.

He looked up at me and sighed.

“I guess.”

I smiled at him as we stood up and followed Kirara back to the hut. Kaede handed us a bowl of breakfast stew and we ate quietly. After we finished eating, Shippo walked over to us.

“Inuyasha, I'm sorry for being mean, and a brat,” he said quietly, “Kagome, I'm sorry for not listening to you and starting a fight with Inuyasha.”

“Keh. Not your fault, Runt,” Inuyasha scoffed.

I gave Shippo a hug and smiled when he settled into my lap.

“We have not found much,” Miroku said quietly, “I am going to see if Master Mushin knows of any spells such as this, or if there is anything in the temple archives.”

“We have no choice but to believe that Kikyo had dark purposes for casting this spell on you, Inuyasha,” Kaede told him quietly.

“Feh. No shit,” he growled, “Kagome tell you about her barrier?”

“Yes,” Miroku said, “And we agree that it was her barrier that saved your adult mind.”

Inuyasha nodded in agreement.

“So, she wanted me to be a helpless pup, with no memories,” he said, “Guess it'd be easier to drag me to hell against my will that way.”

“Yes,” Kaede agreed, “I also believe that Kagome's barrier did it's best to protect your memories of her. You recognized her as someone safe, someone you knew and could trust.”

Inuyasha nodded in agreement again. He was quiet for a while before he spoke again.

“We'll talk to Kagome's grandfather. See if there's anything at their shrine.”

“A good idea,” Kaede told him.

“Damn, I wish it didn't take so long to get to Totosai's place,” he growled, “Tessaiga is too big, but I don't feel right without it.”

“We can send Kirara to him with a message to meet you here,” Sango suggested.

“That will work,” Inuyasha agreed, “Kagome, you said I'm like this every fourth day?”

“Seems that way.”

“So, have him meet us here in four days,” Inuyasha told Sango.

“Alright,” Sango agreed as Miroku pulled out some paper and started writing the message.

After Inuyasha and Miroku had agreed on what the message should say, Kaede and Sango packed us a picnic lunch. We walked with Sango, Miroku, Kirara, and Shippo to the clearing around the well. We sat down by the well and relaxed, as well as we all could, as we ate lunch. Inuyasha and Shippo talked quietly. I couldn't hear what they were talking about, but they looked serious. After lunch was finished, Inuyasha and I said our goodbyes and got ready to leave. I was holding Inuyasha when I sensed something that had me freezing in place, not sure what to do.

“Kagome?” Inuyasha spoke quietly, “What's wrong?”

“Two jewel shards, coming fast,” I told him quickly, “If I leave...he'll...”

“He'll be pissed and harass our pack, fuck,” Inuyasha cursed.

A whirlwind blew out of the trees and stopped in front of me.

“Hey, Kagome,” Kouga said as he grabbed for my hands, “How's my woman?”

Inuyasha growled at Kouga from his place in my arms and I stepped back.

“She's not your woman, wolf-shit!” Inuyasha snarled.

Kouga looked at him in surprise before I cocky grin took over his face.

“Mutt-face? That you?” Kouga asked before he started laughing.

Inuyasha growled and cursed in my arms as he glared at Kouga. Kouga lunged forward, grabbed Inuyasha's arms, and yanked him away from me.

“No!” I yelled at him, “Kouga! Let him go!”

Kouga laughed as he moved, dodging Miroku's staff, with Inuyasha in his hands.

“No way! This is too perfect!” Kouga taunted me as Inuyasha tried everything he could to get free, “I can get rid of mutt-face and finally take my woman to the den where she belongs!”

“Kouga, stop this!” I yelled at him as I grabbed my bow from my shoulder and drew back an arrow.

“No way, Kagome,” Kouga hollered at me over Inuyasha's cursing, “You're my woman and I'm not letting this puppy get in the way anymore!”

I charged up my arrow and let it fly. Kouga's whirlwind kicked up as he dodged it. I spun around as I drew another arrow back and charged it. I let the arrow fly as Kouga dropped the whirlwind right in front of the well. The Sacred Arrow slammed into his left leg, sending the jewel shard there flying. The arrow went through the side of the well, dragging Kouga, and Inuyasha, with it. A flash of pink and blue light lit up the clearing as a deafening boom sounded. A cloud of dust erupted out of the well. Kirara shifted to her saber form and dove into the dust cloud. She came back out and dropped Inuyasha's unconscious form at my feet.

When the dust settled a few minutes later, the well was in ruins and Kouga was unconscious. Sango and Kirara carried his unconscious form away while I picked up Inuyasha and walked over to the well. I felt tears welling up in my eyes. The well was completely caved in, it was going to take at least a week, probably more, to dig it back out.

“We're...we're stuck here,” I said quietly, “Miroku...what if...what if I can't keep him safe? What if she gets a hold of him?”

“We will help you, Kagome,” he told me as he set a hand on my shoulder, “We will help you protect him.”

Inuyasha groaned as he woke up in my arms. I looked down at him as his golden eyes slowly blinked open.

“Where's that...damn wolf?” he asked.

“Sango and Kirara carried him away,” I told him, “He was knocked out, too.”

He nodded as he shifted in my arms. His eyes went wide when he saw the well.

“Kagome...what the hell happened?”

“I think...it was a combination of my arrow and Kouga falling into the well,” I told him.

Miroku walked a few steps away from me and picked up the jewel shard. He brought it to me and held it out for me to grab. Inuyasha laughed when he saw the shard.

“You got on of that asshole's shards!”

“Yeah,” I admitted as I took the shard.

I held the shard in my hand as it turned pink before I placed into the bottle around my neck.

“Kagome, are you okay?” Inuyasha asked quietly.

“I'm fine,” I told him, “Are you hurt?”

“Keh,” he scoffed, “I'm fine.”

Sango and Kirara landed in the clearing without Kouga. Shippo ran out of the trees where he'd hidden and jumped onto my shoulder. He hugged my neck gently before he sniffed at Inuyasha.

“Shippo?” I spoke in confusion.

“Just making sure that Inuyasha's not hurt,” he told me, “I don't smell any blood or pain.”

“Keh, already told her, I'm fine,” Inuyasha huffed.

“Let's...go back to Kaede,” I suggested.

Everyone agreed and we walked together back towards the village. Kaede met us at the tree line just outside of the village.

“What has happened?” she asked.

Miroku told her about the fight with Kouga and the well's destruction.

“The magic of the well is still there,” he assured her, “But the well will need to be dug out and repaired.”

“Yes,” Kaede agreed, “It will be done.”

“Well...I guess we can head to Totosai's if you want to, Inuyasha,” I said quietly.

“Do not worry about the well, Kagome,” Kaede told me, “I will see to it that it is fixed.”

“Thank you, Kaede.”

“We should head out while it's still light,” Inuyasha said.

“Kagome, your horse is still at the stable,” Kaede told me, “While you go and retrieve him, I will put together a bag of supplies. Miroku, Sango. Will you be joining them?”

“Yes,” they both answered quickly.

I thanked them and walked to the stable. The young stable hand recognized me and helped me ready my horse. I led the horse, who I called Storm, for his gray coloring, to Kaede's hut where the others waited for us. Inuyasha and Shippo were quiet as we said our goodbyes. Kirara happily walked along side Storm in her saber form as we left the village. I climbed up onto Storm's back and set Inuyasha down in front of me. Shippo stayed on my shoulder as Sango and Miroku climbed on Kirara's back.

When the set began to set, we found a clearing to camp in. Miroku and Shippo went to gather firewood while I led Storm to the nearby stream with Inuyasha still sitting on his back. While Storm got a drink, Inuyasha jumped down and sat down next to me.

“Kagome, are you okay?” he asked quietly.

“I'm sorry,” I answered, “I don't mean to seem so down. I just...Mama is going to be so worried about us, Inuyasha.”

“I know,” he agreed, “I'm sorry...about the well.”

“It wasn't your fault.”

“I know, but it got destroyed because you were protecting me,” he replied, “So I'm sorry.”

Sango walked up quietly behind us.

“Kirara is going to catch some fish for dinner,” she told us.

“Okay,” I said as I stood up and looked at Kirara in her kitten form on Sango's shoulder, “Thank you, Kirara.”

She mewed happily at us. Inuyasha walked with me as I led Storm back to the clearing. Miroku walked over and helped me remove the 'saddle' and bags from Storm. We pulled out the rolled up futons and blankets and set up sleeping areas for everyone. Kirara and Sango returned with fish for everyone that Miroku staked over the fire. I passed out some of the dried fruits that Kaede had packed for us while the fish cooked.

After we finished eating, I curled up on my futon and smiled at Shippo when he joined me. Inuyasha hesitated for a moment before he joined us. I gripped Tessaiga and activated the barrier, extending it around the whole clearing. Inuyasha gave me a fanged grin.

“Tessaiga likes you,” he teased.

“Tessaiga has always like me,” I told him with a smile, “I'm the one who pulled it from the stone, remember?”

“Keh.”

I laughed softly at his response.

“Good night, Kagome,” he said quietly.

“Good night, Inuyasha,” I replied before I let myself fall into an exhausted sleep.
