Chapter One
Koga breathed deep and held her close while he ran. Kagome come on, you can't die like this! Inuyasha was close behind trying to keep the demon from getting closer. "Is she still breathing?" Inuyasha screamed above the roaring. "Barley." Koga whispered peering into her lovely face, her eyes were closed and she was breathing shallow. The cut across her abdomen was bleeding profusely. "Inuyasha! We have to hurry I don't think she has much longer." Inuyasha looked at Koga and stopped running calling back to him. "You take care of her mangy wolf! I'll catch up when I deal with this fool." Koga looked back at Inuyasha and nodded while continuing to headed off in the direction of the nearest village. "Koga!" Sango one of Kagome's friend called out to him a few minutes of running. Koga had the village in my sight, "What happened to Kagome?!" Miruko yelled Kirara pulled up next to Koga's right side with Sango, Shippo, and Miruko riding on her back. "We ran into a demon. She was trying to fire an arrow to help the mutt and I but the demon was faster than she was. It sliced into her stomach and she's bleeding too much." Koga said as he ran into the village. "I need help!" He screamed the villagers were hesitated because of Koga's demon presences. Sango jumped off Kirara's back and ushered the villagers forward and they listened to her. A couple villagers ran to Koga's side and ushering him and his friends into a nearby hut. "What happened to her?" a villager questioned. "It was a demon attack." Koga said placing Kagome down on the mat.
They looked over at Koga questioning the possibility. Miruko shook his head, "He is not the one that attacked her. His intensions are good." A relieved looked crossed the villagers faces, "We will do all that we can to save this girl. If you don't mind, please wait outside for any news." They all turned back to Kagome and started to rip the cloth away to reveal the wound. Koga ducked out of the hut, Sango and the rest followed him. "Where's Inuyasha?" Shippo sniffed wiping his eyes "Inuyasha stayed behind to take care of the demon that did this to Kagome." Koga sighed while sitting down on the steps of the raised hut. "Koga…" Sango started to say when Inuyasha interrupted, "Where is she?!" Inuyasha walked up bloody with his clothes torn "Inuyasha! What happened to you?" Shippo squeaked "That stupid demon was harder to beat then I first thought. But nothing I couldn't handle. Where's Kagome? Is she okay?" Inuyasha was breathing hard looking from one of his friends to the other. "She's in there with the villagers being treated for her wounds." Miruko pointed towards the hut "Oh..." Inuyasha looked defeated as he plopped down on the stair second from the bottom to Koga's right. "Now that you are both here. Can someone please explain what exactly happened?" Miruko said while turning to face Koga and Inuyasha.
Inuyasha's face grew dark, "Kagome and I were making our way back to you guys after finishing up getting a jewel shard from a weak demon." Koga interpreted, "I smelled Kagome's scent and I wanted to come see her. But when I got closer I smelled more than just Kagome and Inuyasha." "Kagome started to feel the presence of something evil and dark. I went on the defensive and pushed her behind me. Koga showed up right when the demon busted through the tree line. It was a huge weasel demon that had a shard of the jewel embedded in its neck according to Kagome. The demon swung Koga into a tree and knocked me backwards. Kagome tried to shoot and arrow to help us but the demon was faster. Its claws ripped down her stomach." Inuyasha looked down to the ground and sighed "Did you get the jewel shard?" Koga asked trying to change the subject from Kagome "Yes I did." Inuyasha bit out spreading out his hand to reveal a shard of the jewel.
Someone cleared their throat behind the group, "Umm…are you the friends of that young girl in there?" the women asked shyly. "Yes, we are. Is she alright?" Sango asked worry dripping from her voice "The girl is very badly injured. We were able to stop the bleeding and stich her wounds. She will need time to rest and heal but she is stable for now." "Oh thank goodness." Miruko exclaimed with a sigh of relief "Can we see her?" Inuyasha demanded "Sorry for my friend's rudeness pretty lady." Miruko said stepping closer to the women "My name is Mina." She said blushes "Follow me and I will take you to your friend." She turned on her heals and headed back into the hut. Everyone followed close behind her, when they got to Kagome Inuyasha and Koga knelt down beside Kagome. "When do you think she will wake up?" Sango asked in concern, Mina looked down "That is up to her sadly." Sango nodded and Mina backed out of the room to give them privacy "Oh Kagome!" Shippo said tearing up "Shippo she's going to be okay. She's a very strong girl and I know she wouldn't let some demon take her down." Miruko said placing a hand on Shippo's shoulder "We will just have to wait to see if she pulls through." Koga said clenching his fists "She will pull through." Inuyasha snarled
In Kagome's Head
What happened? Kagome thought to herself she tried to sit up but was overcome with immense pain."Where am I?" She said opening her eyes and seeing only darkness, she struggled to sit up and look around. She could see nothing, hear nothing. "Hello?! Is anyone there?" Kagome screamed into the darkness "Hush child." A voice rang out "Hello? Who are you?" Kagome said turning around trying to find the direction the voice came from "I am your voice in the darkness. You were badly hurt and now you need to recover. Only you can break through the darkness and reach the light." The voice boomed "What does that mean?" Kagome questioned but the voice never returned, Kagome brought her legs up to her chin and hugged them. What did they mean? She thought to herself
