Chapter 7
Oh Brother

Doomo- is a very familiar way of saying thanks. You
would use this for family and really really close
friends. �

�� The argument had been moved to
Miroku and Sango�s hut. It seemed to be the largest amount of space, and the
least threatening of choices. Kagome couldn�t take her eyes off Shippo as she sat listening to the conversation that
Inu Yasha and Miroku were having with Shido. Sango,
who was sitting next to her, was trying
not to look at the kitsune at all. Instead, she was busy trying to ignore that
he was suddenly taller. As for the other females in the hut, Ryoko had her
hands full trying to keep Nishi quite.

�� That�s it!� Inu Yasha snapped,
climbing to his feet. He had had enough of the talking in circles. �Shippo, outside with me.�

�� What will this accomplish?� Shido asked in confusion.

�� I want to talk to Shippo�that�s
what it�ll accomplish,� he answered
and headed for the door. �Now, Shippo!�

�� Shippo hopped up and ran after Inu
Yasha as if his life depended on it. Inu Yasha was already several yards way
from the hut by the time Shippo made it out. There were no words to describe
the anger that Inu Yasha was now feeling. Feeling Kagome�s shock was only
adding to it, and he was sure that his anger was making her more confused. He
wanted this over so that he could spend time with his wife, and to get some rest.��

�� Shippo came to a stop about 3 feet
behind Inu Yasha. He stood there without a peep. He knew that Inu Yasha was
mad, and he was not going to say anything that might get him in more hot water.
He was startled when Inu Yasha turned to face him without saying a word. The
look on his face was enough to make Shippo�s chin hit the ground. Inu Yasha�s face was completely blank. If
Shippo hadn�t known better, he would�ve thought that Inu Yasha wasn�t angry at
all. Somehow the lack of expression made Inu Yasha seem scarier than ever
before. Shippo was never going to say it, but the blank face made Inu Yasha
look just like Sesshoumaru.

�� Inu Yasha sat down in one quick
fluid motion. It was more than enough to make Shippo jump.

�Stop acting like I�m going to beat the crap out of you and set
down,� he ordered.

Shippo nodded and set down.

�You�re my bother, right?�

Shippo swallowed and nodded, �Yeah.�

�So you would never lie to me?� Inu Yasha�s voice held only a hint of concern.

�I would never lie you or Kagome, or to Sango or Miroku,� he insisted.

�Tell me what you did. I want the details. Even if I would rather not know, I need to know them.�

�All I did was rub my check against her hand.�
Shippo answered as he looked at the ground between them.

�That can�t be all. You had to feed from her some how. How did you do it?�
He pressed.

Shippo let out a nervous sigh and covered his face with his hands. His
reply came out sounding muffled because of it, �When I couldn�t feel power from her, I pushed my power into her. That is when I found something to
feed on,� Shippo stopped and took a deep breath before putting his hands down.
He forced himself to look up at Inu Yasha as he finished, �I couldn�t
stop myself, but I didn�t do
anything else. I swear, Inu Yasha.�

�Than you didn�t do anything else, but you did enough,� Inu Yasha said in a
flat voice.�

�I don�t understand.�

�Human and youkai is a complicated mix. I�m only half youkai, and things
are crazy with me and Kagome. I can�t imagine what you are going to do to
Nishi. I don�t remember enough of what my mother was like to understand the
effect it had on her.� He rubbed his eyes as he stopped to think about it. When
he was finish rubbing his eyes, he looked up at the stars and said, �Be careful
with her Shippo. If you don�t love her, you should let her go. It�s strange, but I�ve been thinking a lot about
this. What if the youkai can spread to her enough that she becomes a hanyou?
You could make her insane from the emotion, or the power, that you share. Or
worse�if you don�t love her and she is bound to you forever�you could destroy
everything that she is.�

�I didn�t know that
would happen. I just wanted to take on human form.� Shippo explain.

�I get that, but you have to figure something out. You have to take
responsibility for this. Like it or not, I think you just hit grown up status.�

Shippo closed his eyes for a long moment then looked at Inu Yasha. With
every bit of sincerity that he had, �Doomo, Inu Yasha.��

******

�� As Kagome watched the door, Miroku
tried to convince Nishi�s parents that there was nothing that couldn�t be taken
care of with some firm resolve. He was, however, loosing the argument when Inu
Yasha returned with Shippo at his heals.

�� Finally,� Shido complained. �I was
beginning to think you helped him escape.�

�� He doesn�t have any reason to escape. He fed unintentionally. And,
no, they didn�t�you
know,� Inu Yasha finished, rolling his eyes upwards.

�We have argued this to death. Even if she hasn�t been violated, she will
never be accepted by the chief�s family. She�s under the spell of a kitsune
now.� Shido said shaking his head back and forth.

�� I don�t want him. Why won�t you
accept that?� Nishi insisted, pushing her upper body forward. She was trying to
escape her mother�s arms.

�� Nishi, calm down,� Ryoko scolded
and turn to face her husband. In the same angry voice she said, �We wouldn�t
have needed to worry about this if your hot headed son hadn�t made a scene.�

�� Enough!� Inu Yasha yelled. His hand
was once again rubbing his eyes. In a calmer voice he asked, �What will make
you happy at this point?�

�� Shido was stunned, but recovered
quickly with, �Well, it might be best if the kitsune were not in the village tomorrow afternoon. Nishi
was supposed to meet the chief�s wife for marriage plans. The farther the
kitsune is from the village the better.�

�� His name is Shippo,� Nishi hissed.

�� Don�t make this harder, Nishi.
Maybe it would be better to do what your dad says,� Shippo suggested.

�� Shippo?�
Nishi whispered and turned way from him. �I can�t believe you said that. I won�t spend my life with someone I don�t care for.�

�� Shippo began to walk towards her,
but Inu Yasha�s hand on his shoulder stopped him. Shocked, Shippo looked up and
muttered, �Inu Yasha?�

�� Shido, I think that Shippo and Nishi
need to talk before he leaves the village,� Inu Yasha said in a firm, yet calm
voice. Shido was about to protest, but Inu Yasha cut
him off before he could get
the words out. �We�ll all leave tomorrow, but tonight they talk. You get what
you want and they talk. Take it or leave it.�

�� I think what he�s asking is
reasonable,� Ryoko added as she touched her husbands arm. �Sex or not, they
shared something very intimate today. We should let them speak.�

�� That is all the more reason to keep
them separated! You want to leave them alone again?� Shido
ranted.

�� Let them say goodbye, or it will never be finished. The damage is
already done. Let�s try to salvage something of their feelings,� Ryoko insisted. �Remember, it was your son�s
hot head that made this public to begin with. It was assumed to be innocent
until he opened his mouth.�

�� Fine,� he hissed, climbing to his
feet. �But this is to be kept as quite as possible. If she is not in her bed by
morning�I�ll insist on his head.�

�� There�ll be no need for that, Shido-san,� Miroku assured him. �Shippo will be watched until Nishi is returned,� Miroku continued, glancing at Inu Yasha with a smile that said he had no intention of watching Shippo that closely.

�� *****

Inu Yasha pulled the large trunk into the center of the room as Kagome had
requested. He handed her the corner of a blanket as she climbed onto the trunk. He was careful to hold her in place as she stretched to reach the hook in
the ceiling�s beam.

�He better appreciate this, or his is dead,� Inu Yasha grumbled.

With the blanket in place, Kagome stepped down and said, �I think he will.
It still does him no good when we travel. The tent would�ve been great for
that.�

�I think it will be us and Sango and Miroku who need the privacy when we
travel. What would Shippo need privacy for?�

Kagome thought about it a second before answering, �Ok, you do have a
point.� She stood back to admire her handy work as she continued speaking,
�What did you guys talk about. You felt so strange when you were out there.�

�What do you mean? What felt �strange�?� He asked, while taking her hand
and leading her to the floor to sit.

�I expected you to feel angry. Instead, it was like you suddenly
became all calm. At least, I�m sure
that it was you that was so calm. I felt horrible until you walked out the
door. But then you were outside and it all changed. What happened?�

Inu Yasha thought about it before he gave an answer. He did remember being
calm. �I remember being mad when I left the hut, but when I walked out� I don�t
know. I guess I decided that I had to control that for Shippo�s sake.� He
stopped and looked at Kagome. It was like something had finally clicked in his
head. �If I try to control it, I can. I changed it all by realizing that I had
to control it,� he looked down and stared at the floor between them.�

�No, it can�t be that easy,� she whispered. Then she remembered how she had
pushed her emotions back earlier at school. She knew that she would give them
all to Inu Yasha if she had wanted. �I can�t believe that it is that simple.�

�I guess we need to try harder to control it. Kagome, do we�� he stopped
the thought. He was not sure if he wanted to admit it. It took her reaching out
and tugging on is kimono to make him continue. Finally, he went on, �Do we want to control it?�

�Of course we do!� She answered in disbelief.

�What if I don�t really want to? What if that is why we didn�t figure it out
sooner? I don�t think I ever had a problem with feeling your emotions. I�m just afraid of what my youkai power is doing to you.�

Kagome didn�t know what to say. She had to admit that she didn�t like that
he could feel all that she felt. She was afraid of it. She knew it, and he
would eventually figure that out. There was also the dept of his emotions. Inu Yasha didn�t have mild
emotions. He felt things with every part of his being, or he didn�t feel them
at all. It was too much for her sometimes.
