Chapter 1
Don't Die
---
"Kagome! You can't die on me! Don't tell me that you really were a stupid weak human!" He shouted angrily at her limp body, clutching her up to his chest.
She said nothing.
Inuyasha's face paled as he almost desperately groped the side of her face for any warmth or pulse. There was none. Her body uselessly dangled in his arms as he prodded her body.
"Inuyasha… We better get her to Kaede's." Miroku reminded him, shaking him out of his thoughts.
"Keh." he mumbled, grimacing at the sight of Kagome.
He took the complete Shikon No Tama out of her open hands, and put it in his haori for safekeeping. He didn't want anybody looking at her, because her shirt had almost burned off when Naraku proceeded to kill her by reflecting some of her arrows and energy balls.
Inuyasha ran off, leaving Miroku, Sango, Kirara, and Shippou behind and entered the forest, trying to escape from them.
"Inuyasha! Where are you going?" Sango frowned and stopped Kirara and the group.
"Don't follow me!" He yelled back, and disappeared into the forest. His grip on Kagome was tighter than ever and he started to slow down when he found an abandoned hut.
There were a couple of burnt down trees, and he knew by the scent that a few months ago, there was a very small forest fire. But the hut was almost untouched, even though there were very mild burns on the sides.
He slid open the wooden door, and left a slit of space open, for some sunlight. He quickly scanned his surroundings, and spotted a futon that was in fairly good condition for sleeping in. The only problem was that there was only one futon. But he hadn't planned on leaving Kagome by herself. She was in a bad condition, barely hanging on to life, and he wasn't going to leave her alone.
He had brought Kagome's arrows and backpack with them, and searched through her backpack for some clean clothes and some matches. He found an extra blanket, some of her modern clothes that wasn't her uniform, two matchboxes, and some bandages.
He laid Kagome into the bed, and checked for breathing and a pulse. Her breathing was ragged and her pulse was almost nonexistent. He dug through the remaining items in her pack and found the first aid box that she had used on him and everyone else when they were injured.
He tried, and tried, and tried. But the lid wouldn't open. He got annoyed, and ripped the lid off. "Stupid damn future contraptions," he muttered, pulling the disinfectant and bandages out of the box.
He had seen Kagome dress the others with the bandages and also himself. She treated him with the most care, since he normally got the worst wounds. So first, he removed her shirt, or what was left of it…
He blushed, but it quickly faded away as he hastily grasped the disinfectant and began to spray it all over her wounds, bruises and all. He saw her wince in pain and held her, whispering incoherent apologies to her.
Kagome soon relaxed, and snuggled into his haori, gathering his warmth. He laid her head down onto the pillow again, and began to wrap the bandages around her torso. After she practically looked like half of a mummy, he tied the bandages and proceeded on.

Inuyasha began to cook some of the deer he had just hunted for, and was roasting it outside, leaving the door slightly open so he could see her in case she was in pain.
Sighing, he turned the stick slightly, roasting each side perfectly. When he just remembered that Kagome liked eating with plates and chopsticks, he left the deer to cook, and went into the hut again, to get her utensils.
He opened the door and rummaged through her backpack again. Pulling out what he thought looked like the plate with the cats on it, he grabbed the chopsticks too. That's when he heard a moan. "Inu-y-yasha." She murmured, shifting over to her side.
"Don't move!" He ran over to her side, and flipped her over again.
"What? Inuyasha? When did I get these bandages? Shippo? Where are you? Miroku-sama? Sango-chan?" Kagome began to worry, and sat up, groaning, and laid back down in pain.
"The others aren't here." He said, grumbling curses that he ever took her here.
"I.." He began…
