The Hanyo and the Miko

[Dreadpool]

At first, Inuyasha merely looked surprised... perhaps even a tad fearful. And rather unfortunately, he assumed what would come next. "Hold on Kagome, don't!" But it was far too late. "AGHHHH!" He was pulled headfirst into the ground by the mystical beads around his neck. Even more so, he was consistently being dragged deeper into the ground, simultaneously causing his bod to ache more and more. "S....STOP!!!" He yelled, in an agonized voice. Miroku merely sighed, taking one of the baskets Sango was holding, and going ahead to the village with her.


It took a while for the hanyo to get up from the ground. Sit commands hurt 10x as much when he was in human form...

 

[Saiyan Princess]

Sango allowed her husband to take one of the girls from her, easing her back. "Do you really think we should have left him back there by himself?" With one hand, she held the basket and with the other, she held Miroku's free hand. "How long do you think it's going to take them to make up this time?"


Minori watched all of this from a ways off. "You know, I really think you deserved it after what you did to the only demon on this planet that ever watched out for me." She stood over the now weakened Inuyasha, landing a good swift kick to his gut. "You took everything from me! How does it feel to not have anyone on your side!" Again, she kicked him. "I should really end you!"

 

[Dreadpool]

"Hmm.... I think he'll be fine, the sun will come up soon anyway." Miroku seemed to have been thinking Sango's second question as well. "Uh... let's see, after that I'd say a few days maybe. That was an awful lot of sits," Miroku replied, curiously peering back to where they had left Inuyasha. At that time, he was out of sight, so he did not see Minori taking advantage of Inuyasha's weakened state.


The hanyo groaned with pain as Minori kicked him twice. However, full of determination, he attempted to push himself off of the ground. "As if... you could end me..." He used his Tessaiga, which was in katana form, like a cane. "You're still going on about that, are you? Don't you get it, Dakuemoshon NEVER cared about you, you were just a puppet to him. That's why he didn't try to save you when you were being incinerated, you're disposable to him!" Upon saying that, Inuyasha aimed a strike at Minori.

 

[Saiyan Princess]

Sango nodded in agreement. After she had supposedly retired as a demon slayer, Sango stopped focusing on the smells that she had become accustomed to, thus completely ignoring Minori's aura. She had given up all of that after she got her revenge on Naraku.


Kagome screamed in rage. "ALL THE TIME! IT'S 'STUPID IDIOT' OR 'JEWEL DETECTOR' OR 'SHUT UP!' WHY DO I STAY? WHY DO I EVEN BOTHER COMING BACK?!" The answer to that was simple. She fell in love with the snarky, pushy, irritating loudmouth of a hanyo.


Minori was caught directly in the stomach. She coughed up blood. "Y-You're ly-lying..he promised me." She looked up at the moonless sky. 'Mother, Father, I'm sorry. I really tried.' She could have kept fighting, but Minori was tired of being alone. Still, she was scared of death as well. "Pl-Please. ..I'm so sc-scared." Though Inuyasha was human, she knew that he could kill her.

 

[Dreadpool]

Inuyasha could have kept attacking, he could have attempted to finish off Minori then and there... but he couldn't. Not while she seemed so lonely, scared. Not after she had been so cruelly manipulated. "Look, I don't want to hurt you, but there are better things you can do then trying to get revenge..." He strode towards her, his body still aching, but managing to ignore that for now.

 

[Saiyan Princess]

Minori, frightened of the Tessaiga, scooted backward into a tree. The pain in her chest just continued to increase, and more blood spewed from her mouth. "What are you talking about? My mother and father are dead because of you! You killed my mother first! Why?! Because she was a demon?! My father, a human, ran away with me. I was nine years old!" She bit her lip. "How many lives are you going to destroy?!"

 

[Dreadpool]

"What the heck are you talking about? I don't now what crap Dakuemoshon fed you, but I didn't kill your mother!" Inuyasha growled, his eyes narrowing suspiciously. Noticing that Minori appeared to be afraid of the Tessaiga, he placed it back in his sheath. It wasn't like there was much he could do with it anyway in his human form.

 

[Saiyan Princess]

Minori hissed at him. "You have killed a lot of demons. How could you discern which ones you have and haven't killed? You're just an ignorant, selfish, self absorbed, stubborn sorry excuse of a half demon!" She spat in his face. "I hate you! Because of you, I have nothing!"

 

[Dreadpool]

"Because of me, you're not a slave to the guy you wanted to destroy innocent people! Because of me, you're free to find your own way!" He retorted, his fist clenched. It would be daybreak soon enough, and Inuyasha would be able to defend himself... if Minori tried to attack again. "I didn't kill your family! Get past Dakuemoshon's lies, hes probably the killer! He must have killed your parents and tried to frame me."

 

[Saiyan Princess]

"Well, I don't know what to do with my life anymore. Now, go away before I kill you." She crawled away, still hurt from the cut in her chest. "Get away from me!" Soon, she was unconscious.

 

[Dreadpool]

Rather than complying, Inuyasha had strode over to Minori, lifting her limp body up onto his shoulder. "I ain't about to just leave you here, not like this..." He growled, even though she had already lost consciousness. At that, he carried her into the village. There had to be some way to help her before she got herself killed...


"Kagome! Kagome, open up, will you?" Inuyasha asked as he reached their hut. He knew that Kagome must still be angry at him, but this was urgent.

 

[Saiyan Princess]

Kagome reluctantly opened the door. "Oh, so you're still with that attitude? What did you do to her?!" She took Minori from Inuyasha and shut the door in his face before he could come in. "Don't worry, Minori." She opened up Minori's shirt to see the cut on her chest. "This..this looks like Tessaiga's cut. Just a stab wound. The Windscar wouldn't do something like this." She pressed her hands against the wound and tried healing Minori. "Minori? Minori, can you hear me?" Minori started coughing.

 

[Dreadpool]

"I didn't use the Tessaiga on her, beats me how she got the stab wound. She must have gotten ambushed before attacking me. I only used my fist, once, while human."As daybreak finally came, Inuyasha was momentarily bathed in a brilliantly golden light, transforming into a demon once more. Hr banged on the door a few more times, irritably. "Open up!"


(On phone)

 

[Saiyan Princess]

Minori's breathing was raspy as she stared up at the ceiling. "What happened?! How did I get here?" She clenched her fists and protected her chest area from Inuyasha. "Why did you bring me here?! Who do you think you are?!" She was ready to fight now. "First you kill my parents, then my friend and now you've come to finish me off!"

 

[Dreadpool]

Inuyasha finally thrust the door open utilizing his demonic strength, out of anger. "Look, I do--" He quickly averted his eyes at the scene, looking just a slight bit sheepish. "I told ya you idiot, I DIDN'T kill your parents. We're trying you help you!"

 

[Saiyan Princess]

"Inuyasha!" Kagome glared at him. "SIT! You can't just break doors down like that!" She smiled at Minori, who laughed at the command. "Sit? You really are a dog." She stood up and climbed out the window to avoid the Tessaiga. "Thanks for the help, but from now on, let me handle myself."

 

[Dreadpool]

This time, Inuyasha got up faster than before. "What the heck was that? You let her go free like shes some innocent child! What the heck were you thinking?" He asked, disregarding the fact that he had just pushed down a door.

 

[Saiyan Princess]

"She was scared. We can't hold her like she's some prisoner." Kagome shrugged it off like it never happened. "Why does it matter anyway? She's just a kid. We have other things to worry about, Inuyasha." The miko took his hand. "Everything's peaceful again."

 

[Dreadpool]

"Worry? What's so bad a.--... oh..." Indeed everything was peaceful yet again. They weren't arguing their heads off anymore, which was always a good thing. However, Inuyasha suspected that Kagome wouldn't quite let him off the hook until--


"Anyway... I uh..." Inuyasha wasn't exactly good at stringing together a decent apology. He didn't do it often.

 

[Saiyan Princess]

Kagome knew what Inuyasha was trying to do and decided to tease him for it. "Come on, boy! You can do it!" She found herself laughing. "You see, I can't do that when you're human." She kissed his cheek, her fingers threading through his hair. "Come on. Just say it and I'll stop making fun of you."

 

[Dreadpool]

"Alright alright, I'm sorry, okay?" He said at last, going slightly red. However, he was quite relieved that he had gotten that off of his chest. Confirming that it was behind them, he gently placed a hand on Kagome's cheek, softly pressing his lips against hers.

 

[Saiyan Princess]

Kagome blushed, feeling his claws scrape against her cheek. "Well, I guess you can sleep inside tonight." She told him, imagining Inuyasha and herself finally able to relax on some beach somewhere and the sun bathing their skin. "But, you're right. You have reasons to be mad at Minori and I can't blame you for that, but she's obviously confused. Are you sure you haven't killed any humans?"

 

[Dreadpool]

"Huh? I'm sure, I ain't killed any humans... For some reason she thinks that I killed her mother and then killed her father, I'm sure Dakuemoshon planted that in her head..." He replied, looking uneasy. But then, what if he DID forget about something like this? What if Minori was right, and he did slaughter he family? He had killed a lot of demons, for all he knew he could have killed her mother...

 

[Saiyan Princess]

Kagome nodded. "It's gonna be alright. I know she won't get over it, but she will find a way to cope." She kissed Inuyasha again, then smelled herself. "Oh, wow!" She pinched her nose and pulled away. "Inuyasha, I'll be right back." She went around the hut and into the woods, where she found Minori high up on a rock. "Mother, I don't know what to do anymore. I want to help you, but Dakuemoshon said that Inuyasha killed you and Father." She would have been praying if a spirit wasn't standing before her. "My child, you need not worry any more. You've done well. Your father and I are waiting for you, but we don't want you to rush into it." The spirit hugged the child and disappeared. Kagome gasped. Minori turned around. "Who's there?" Kagome came out. "I'm so-Minori!" Minori left. Kagome huffed as she undressed and stepped into the spring.

(Phone glitched, use this sentence to finish off this paragraph: He still couldn't help but wonder... what would it have been like, had they married? It was an odd but intriguing thought)


(Remember, add the above to the final sentence of the below paragraph)


Inuyasha, assuming that she had of course went off to bathe, remained behind within their hut. Kagome had said that Minori would cope, sooner or later. The hanyo, however, wasn't fully convinced. Still, only time would tell. In the meantime, he had other things on his mind, involving what Kagome had said while she was possessed. Although it was only the possession talking (He had no idea she was lying)
