Night had quickly fallen.
The door to the guest house was still left ajar. Silently, Cloud crept in from the back when he was hit by an intoxicating smell. His nose demanded he paused for a whiff. His knees nearly buckled at the savory odor. Who knew he could actually cook? Can’t wait to chow down! This is gonna be epic! He turned and tip toed up the stairs. He was careful not to make a sound. Just as he reached out for the doorknob something tapped him on the shoulder.
“And where have you been?”
Cloud jumped and banged his skull against the wall. Everything went black as his control slipped away from him. His body went out cold as he met the floor with a hard thump.
“Oh goddammit!” Inuyasha cursed. He yanked the sanitary mask from off his nose. “Oi! You alright?” He crouched down in front of him. “You better wake up!” He kept poking him until he stirred.
Hazy eyes slowly opened. “Where am I?”
“Where is anyone? Disappointment reeks around every corner.”
”Wha… Inu-guy? Is that you?” The back of his head throbbed nonstop. “What the hell just happened?”
“I scared you shitless. It’s what you get. I thought I fucking told you stay in bed?”
Sho wiped his face several times. The dirtied apron caught his attention. “Why are you covered in blood?”
“B-because! None of your damn business!” Inuyasha tore the reddened cloth off and chucked it. “Still waiting on that answer. Where’d you go?”
He leaned against the wall. “What are you talking about? I didn’t go anywhere.”
“Then how do you explain the dirt on your clothes?”
“What the hell are you…ow!” Sho clutched the crown of his head and rocked. A swarm of cloudy memories flashed before his eyes. Vaguely, he remembered being trapped in a field. In an endless day. Fighting against... Cloud. He suddenly yelped and doubled over.
“Oi, take it easy!” Inuyasha caught him. “Maybe you should lie down for a bit.”
“NO.” Sho jerked away. “I’m not going back.” His breathing became rapid.
“Back where?” Inuyasha frowned. “H-Hey? Are you ok?”
Sho reached for his heart. “I. I don’t know! I-I think I’m having panic attack!”
“What!? Are you shitting me? Damn! I need you to calm the fuck down!” Inuyasha held up his hands. “How many fingers do you see?”
Sho counted them up. “Um… four.”
“What’s tee aitch ee spell?
“The.”
“Opposite of hate is?”
“Love?”
“Dog star’s other name?”
“Sirius.”
He pulled a few of his strands. “And the color is?”
“Black.”
His nephew’s breathing steadily improved until it turned back to normal. “There,” Inuyasha eased. “How do you feel now?”
“A lot better.” Sho closed his eyes and exhaled. “Thanks, Inuyasha.”
“Yeah, whatever.” He looked away and scratched his head. The timer in the kitchen rang loud. “Guess food’s finally done. How about we eat to clear your mind? Then we can figure everything else out later.”
“Sure.” Sho nodded. His expression grew optimistic. “I feel like I haven’t eaten in days.”
“Then you’re definitely in for a treat!”
