So this is a lot different from my other stories. Kagome is 18 and in her second year of medical school when she falls down the well for the first time and Inuyasha is not the first person she comes across. She finds a wounded Naraku who expiriences a severe case of de javu. I recomend listening to three days grace As I lay dying to follow the mood of the story. It was the inspriation for it. I do not own the song or Inuyasha. please enjoy and review. If I get enough positive response I will continue this as it's own story instead of a oneshot. Rated M because I can never trust my characters and they are perverts typically. Either way there are liekely to be strong themes present. Enjoy.

Kagome managed to climb out of the well, finding herself in a stange place, her home gone, only trees and plantlife everywhere. Scratching her head in confusion she glanced at the tall form of the god tree in the distance before turning to face directly away from it, deciding to see if she could find any other familiar land marks.
After a while of her wandering she slipped on a hill, tripping over root and nearly rolling into a cave. She stopped at the entrance and managed to right herself, relieved to find she wasn't hurt from her tumble.
A low noise drew her attention further in the cave, a noise of pain. She frowned, her brows furrowing as she cautiously approached the source of the noise.
She found a man with long raven locks laid up on the cold stone. Many wounds coated his body, some oozing some sort of infection, some looking deep enough to make her mazed the man was even alive, though he was obviously in pain. She moved to the man's side, brushing his hair from his face to get a better look at him, pressing two fingers to his throat to get a pulse. She needed to figure out if she could help him with her limited knowledge or if maybe she needed to find him some other help. "Come on, please don't die on me," she pleaded.

Naraku regretted running into the western lord. That damned dog had done a number on him for certain. He could not believe the life he had been granted by his contract, his second chance to win the woman who had captured his heart, would end so horribly, finding himself in a cave, in so much pain he could barely move for fear of making the dog's poison course even faster through his veins as he body fought against it's influence. He closed his eyes, seeking some kind of peace as his body strove to force out the burning acid in his veins.
"Come on, please don't die on me." His eyes darted open despite the pain, feeling the gentle fingers against his throat as he stred into the bluest eyes he had ever seen, as deep as the ocean and just as mesmerizing. The warmth he felt reminded him of a cloudless summer sky. His already short breath caught painfully in his throat as he watched her eyes widen in shock.
"K-K-." damn his parched throat. She seemed so much like Kikyo, and yet, not. She carried a warmth even the late guardian of the jewel had not posessed. The concern in her gaze froze him, making his heart stutter as he swallowed and stared at her in silence. Certainly this was no coincidence.
"Shh. Don't try to talk ok? I'll see if I can find some water and clean those out for you. Lucky you my bag came with me. I have some of my school supplies in there so once I can get the dirt out of these wounds I should be able to suture up some of these." she said.
Her words did not make much sense to him as he watched her, although he realized she was trying to help heal him. Despite his pain he could not stop a rueful smirk. He could only hope he could claim his woman this time around. She left him with promises to return with water.
He lay there, his life playing before him as he waited on her, every moment feeling himself sliding closer to death. But no, he would wait for her. He would cling to life. He would not lose what he deserved after finally getting it. This strange woman would be his and his alone. He had to recover. He soothed himself debating over the things he might do with her once he was healed to demonstrate his gratitude.
The sun was going down before she returned with a torch and a new bag. She had met some villagers who had been more than happy to help her out when she explained she was trying to help an injured man she had stumbled across.
She had collected dry sticks and wood to prepare a small fire to boil the water and light her workspace.
Seeing her in the firelight Naraku realized his earlier view had done her no justice. She wore strange garb, a blue haori that clung tightly to her every curve made of a fabric he had never seen before. Her top was also strange fitting her tantalizing curves and offering peeks of tempting cleavage when she knelt near him. Her hands were gentle as she washed away his wounds, the hot water soothing as she cleaned him. What startled him most was the sensation of a priestess's holy power brushing over him, purifying the dog's poison. It amazed him it did not burn him, not even a little and he marveled over this woman even more, growing ever more enraptured. She eased some herbal tea gently down his throat and on impulse he acted as if he could not swallow it curious what she would do. She did not dissappoint as she glanced around before her face flushed prettily in the fire light. She sipped from the cup before leaning down, pressing her lips lightly against his and letting the warm tea flow into his mouth as she stroked his throat with soft fingers.
This time he swallowed, amazed at her brazen behaviour despite her decidedly virginal behavior." Come on, don't make me keep doing this." she groaned lowly.
Her complaint made him want to smirk, but instead he watched her longingly, still unable to move his body. With a resigned sigh she repeated the process, making him drink until the cup was empty.
"Thank- you." he managed.
She gave him a smile that once again had his heart beating irratically before she spoke." My name is Kagome. Alright. Next part is going to hurt. I don't have anything to numb the pain," she explained as she pulled out what looked like a needle and thread.
"Na-ra-ku. Don't wor-ry. I can- take- it." he answered, hating how painful speech was despite all of the help she had given so far. He could feel his smaller wounds begining to heal.
He was not expecting her to beging using neat knots to stich his gaping flesh back together. The first stitch had him hissing in surprise, but he quickly schooled himself, not wanting to upset her.
Kagome nodded, returning to her work as she chattered,"Naraku you said it was? That is a unique name to be sure. I have to ask what did this to you?" she questioned.
He chuckled drily,"Dog," he answered enjoying her shocked expression.
"A Dog? No way! That thing had to be huge to do this to you or there have been a lot of them. It is amazing you don't have more infections. You know, I have never met anyone with eyes like yours though. At first I thought I was seeing things when you opened them and they looked red. But I suppose they are. It looks really good on you..." She caught herself with a blush, her eyes widening once again as she clamped her mouth shut and then spoke once again," I mean, I'm not saying you look good, I mean you do, but- " she sealed her lips, suddenly very focused on her work.
He watched her floundering and smirked, a pained chuckle escaping him," You're adorable. And very beautiful." he managed, taking a breath between each word, and a sense of satisfaction as he watched her blush deepen.
She finished her work and wrapped the last wound before she went to law down in a make shift bed across from him. He managed to grab her wrist before she got too far,"Lay with me. Please. I'll Feel better." he breathed out. Kagome's breath hitched, and she glanced at the entrance and then back to him with a sigh.
"If I hurt your wounds even a little, make me move, got it bub?" she demanded, only laying down gently once he agreed.
He could have groaned with his excitement as he felt her soft form lightly resting against his side. Oh how he longed to hold her as a man holds a woman. He smirked, he would. As soon as his body finished healing, which shouldn't be long now that the damned dog's acid was gone. He noticed once her breathing evened he began feeling a warmth. It permeated the small cave, seeping into his body and easing his pain. He did not know what to think but took the blessing for what it was. dozing off with her in his arms, unable to believe that hours ago he was dying and now in mere hours he would find a way to claim this woman in his arms, even if it killed him for good.
