Chapter 19: A Mission for Clothes and a Realization
The first bright rays of sunshine pierced through Inuyasha's eyelids, but
he felt no pain at the exposure. He sat up, easily, trying to remember
what the heck he was doing in a castle... then he caught sight of the sarcastic
Sage sitting beside his bed.
Yuya grinned. "Ah, much better! You're so much cuter when you're hanyou!"
She reached down and made a motion as if to pinch his cheek. Inuyasha angrily
swatted her hand away.
"Leave me the hell alone, bitch," he snarled, moving his legs from the
low bed and starting to stand up.
"Ahem. You may not want to do that, Inuyasha..." Yuya gave a trademark
smirk and averted her eyes. There was a strangled gasp and a thud as Inuyasha
sat back down quickly, pulling the covers back over his body.
"Where the FUCK are my clothes?!" he ranted, his cheeks bright red.
Yuya fixed him with an amused look. "I TOLD you not to stand... as for
your clothing, you discarded your haori while you were fighting Naraku.
Your hakama was filthy with blood and dirt, so that was removed when you
arrived."
"I...I don't remember throwing off my haori..."
"Of course you don't, silly! You were out of control then!"
"So, how do YOU know that?"
"Mmm...remember when I mentioned being a Sage? Remember when I said
that I could be called psychic?"
Inuyasha's eyes widened, then narrowed in annoyance. "You were reading
my mind while I was ASLEEP?!!"
Yuya's smile widened. "Pretty much. Would you like to know something
interesting?"
"Right now? NO! I want some clothes!"
"Oh...but it's sooo interesting..." Yuya pouted for a second, then stood,
chuckling. "Well, if you won't let me tell you, then I'll just leave you
here..." Yuya stepped to the door. "Naked and alone..." Her laughter bounced
off the walls as she strode off down the corridor.
Inuyasha stared after her, a huge sweatdrop forming on his face. 'She...she's
just going to leave me like this?'
And then, from down the hall, Yuya's cheerful voice: "Hai!"
-------------------------------
Kagome sighed in relief as the group slid from Hachi's back, Ninsei
jumping down effortlessly, his leg completely healed. When Kunoichi got
down, Kagome noticed, Ninsei was surprisingly careful to help her dismount.
Had something happened while she was asleep? 'If so,' she reasoned, 'It's
about time...'
The imperious gate of Senpai stood directly in front of them. Another,
predictably, stood there as well... (a/n: You have two seconds to guess
who... ^_^)
"Kunoichi-san!" the boy exclaimed, quickly undoing the latches and pushing
the gate wide. Then, he caught sight of Ninsei and his visage visibly darkened.
"Ninsei-san," he said stiffly, his eyes lingering for a moment on the youkai's
face.
"Ohayo, Hiroji-kun," Kunoichi greeted the boy, inwardly sighing. 'Here
we go again...'
While Kunoichi tried to ignore the sparks that Hiroji and Ninsei were
sending at each other, Hachi had transformed back into his normal form
and the group approached entered the gate, with the exception of Kagome.
Sango noticed this and trotted back to her. "Why are you not following,
Kagome- chan?"
"Hmm?" Kagome's head jerked up and she blinked. She had apparently been
lost in thought. "Oh... I suppose it's just worry. I'll be fine..." She
made a motion as if to step forward but halted, her head turning to the
west.
Sango read the action easily and made the suggestion that Kagome had
been waiting to hear: "Maybe we could set off now. Miroku, Kirara, and
I are well enough rested to travel with you."
Kagome's eyes sparkled and her face widened into a huge grin. "Of course
we can go now! I've been getting so sick of acting like nothing's wrong..."
Her face suddenly fell.
Sango stepped forward, concerned. "Kagome-chan? Are you all right?"
A disgusted sound rose from Kagome's throat as she darted towards the
woods. Before she got there, however, her legs gave way and she fell to
her hands and knees, vomiting onto the dusty earth.
Sango ran to Kagome's side and put a comforting hand on her back as
her nausea passed. 'What could be the matter? This is the second time in
succession!'
Kagome was about to stand when she felt something quite peculiar. A
warmth seemed to spread from her abdomen to the rest of her body, leaving
a pleasant tingle in its wake. Her sense of smell returned, full-force,
and her world was reopened.
"What is this?" Kagome asked, unaware that she was speaking aloud. Then,
realization gripped her. It was as sure as anything she had ever known...
she was positive that youkai must have a sixth sense for these types of
things...
Sango looked even more worried at Kagome's strange question, if at all
possible, and was on the verge of going for help when Kagome suddenly grabbed
her arm and raised a stunned face to meet her eyes.
"I'm...pregnant..."
The taijiya stood there, stunned, but then connected all of the pieces
and was amazed that she hadn't noticed it before. And then:
"I knew it, Lady Kagome! Fantastic news, congratulations!"
Quicker than a flash, Kagome growled and snatched the flea from her
shoulder, pinching him viciously between two fingers. "You...KNEW?!?! And
you didn't TELL me?!?!"
"Ano...Lady Kagome...that HURTS..." Kagome dropped Myouga and folded
her arms. The old flea popped back into his original shape and straightened
his clothing. "Ahem...as I was saying, I wasn't quite sure. I tasted a
change in your blood before you left to fight Naraku. I said nothing at
the time, because I was not sure. I would have followed, but something
came up..."
Sango shot him a dry look. "You mean, you knew it was going to be dangerous,
so you didn't want to endanger yourself?"
Myouga looked sheepish and pressed his index fingers together. "Well,
that is a part of i-" The flea suddenly found himself squished beneath
a bare foot.
Kagome ground him into the dirt for a few seconds, then exclaimed, "I'm
hungry! None of us have eaten since yesterday!"
Sango grinned. "Sure. Let's go find the others. I'm sure they're waiting
for us!"
The female hanyou lifted her foot from the well-flattened flea and marched
toward Senpai's gate, one hand on her stomach.
'Inuyasha... He HAS to come back to me... to us...'
----------------------------------
As quietly as he could, Inuyasha slid from the room where he'd spent
the night and into the coolness of the hallway, a cover from the raised
futon wrapped around his lower body. Cursing mentally, he crept down the
hall, desperate to find some clothing so that he could get the heck out
of there.
After a few minutes of searching, he found himself in a spacious room.
The walls were adorned with lovely works of art and a fire crackled merrily
in a corner. It appeared to be either a meeting room or a dining room;
it was filled with low tables and cushions.
When his eyes lit upon the fire, Inuyasha's mood brightened considerably.
The interior of the stone castle was freezing; it was early morning and
the sun hadn't had a chance to warm it yet.
Making up his mind rather quickly, Inuyasha made his way to the fire
and plopped down in front of it. A sigh worked its way from his throat
as the waves of heat wafted to his face and upper body. He could have fallen
asleep again if a voice hadn't spoken:
"Inuyasha. I see you are well."
The hanyou immediately snapped to attention, jerking to his feet while
clenching the cover tightly around him.
Sesshoumaru sat at a far table, looking at Inuyasha with a mildly interested
expression.
"You've been here the whole time, huh?" Inuyasha, surprisingly, felt
no apprehension at having his brother so close to him while he was in his
*ahem* rather bare state. "Say, you wouldn't happen to know where I could
find some clothes, would you? Only I don't want to stay in your company
any longer than I have to."
"There is clothing on the table nearest you, Inuyasha, if you would
trouble yourself to open your eyes."
Inuyasha looked. There, indeed, were two piles of clothes. One appeared
to be another red fire-rat kimono. He glanced up at Sesshoumaru with a
questioning look.
"Your ningen mother made one for each of us. I refused to wear such
a thing as protection, so she left it, assuming you'd grow into it. You
should be about the same size now as I was when I was young..." The condescending
undertone in Sesshoumaru's voice made Inuyasha slightly irritated, but
he decided to deal with his brother after he was properly clothed. He reached
for the fire-rat pile, but Sesshoumaru called out to him.
"Not that. Put on the decent clothing. I will have no blood of mine
dressed like that when we have company, no matter how pitiful they may
be." Without waiting for a response, Sesshoumaru rose and exited the room,
disappearing down the chilled corridor.
Inuyasha stared after him. 'Sesshoumaru's so...different. What the hell
could have caused THAT? And what did he mean by company?' Shrugging, he
picked up an article from the other clothing pile and held it up. He stared
for a while before yelling a few angry words after his brother.
"Oi, Sesshoumaru!!! You want me to WEAR this!?!?!"
-------------------------------------
'I don't want to fight.'
'I know, darling, I know.'
'So why do you cause such animosity?'
'I enjoy enmity. It brings people closer.'
'How so?'
'The brothers. Do you see them?'
'No. I can't see that far yet.'
'Well, the elder has been tamed by a human.'
'A human, you say?'
'Hai. And he allows his half-brother to stay with him.'
'He could have killed him in the forest. I thought he would.'
'He has changed. They both have changed.'
'Aa. Will we kill them all?'
'I don't wish to.'
'Then what do you wish to do?'
'I wish to...'
'Yes?'
'Watch. Wait. And when they are ready, they will recieve my test.'
'Oh, wonderful... I love watching people take the test.'
'It is interesting, ne?'
'Very.'
'So we shall see, then.'
'Hai. But I don't want to fight.'
'I won't make you, dear. I won't.'
--------------------------------
Corisu Li: *looks up* That might be a little confusing...but all will
be explained in due time... Hey! There's one! *points up at Chibi Kirara*

Inuyasha: @.@ Suuuure.... But why are there six of you?

***And Elsewhere***
Aamalie: *is firmly attached to Miroku*
Miroku: Let. Me. Go.
Aamalie: Nnh-nn. *hugs tighter*
Miroku: *sigh* Time to pull out the big guns... *reaches around and
gropes her*
Aamalie: *blinks, then gropes him back*
Miroku: *stares for a second, then gropes again*
Aamalie: *does same*
Miroku: *suddenly grabs both of her hands* Aamalie-sama, would you do

Sessi: *somehow ignores her weight* What are you doing?
Aamalie: Hunting Chibis. Wanna help?
Sessi: Not particularly.
Aamalie: *lets go and steps back* FLUFFY! I said, do you want to help?

evilly*
