"Naraku!
Your going down!" Kagome shouted as she alighned her arrow at
him. "We need to follow them!"
Inuyasha said as he struggled to sit up. He moaned in pain and fell
back. "Thanks you guys, I
can carry him from here." Kagome said as she held onto
Inuyasha's legs. He was passed out on her back. She put her feat up
onto the well and waved goodbye to Sango and Miroku and
Shippo. Inuyasha
rolled over on the bed and his eyes widened.' What am i doing
here?! Why am i at Kagome's house? Ah! What am i doing next Kagome!?'
he said in his head. He sat up but squeezed his stomach in agony.
Kagome rolled over and rubbed her eyes. "Kagome, are you okay? I heard yelling." Sota asked
as he walked into the room rubbing his eyes. "Oh, so you're awake?"
Kagome asked as she sat over at her desk studying. "Hey sis! Your up?!"
Sota asked as he walked into her room, without knocking. "Inuyasha, look the
other way please while i change." "So you're leaving after breakfast?"
Ms.Higurashi asked as she stirred the rice in the pan. "Kay Mom, This time, i'm
not coming home until we defeat Naraku and have the complete Shikon
Jewel, Oh yeah, we need to visit someone Inuyasha..."
Naraku smirked and sent a tentacle hurling at Kagome.
"Watch
out!" Inuyasha yelled as he jumped in front of her. The tentacle
peirced him in his stomach.
"Inuyasha," Kagome wailed,
"Are you okay?!"
"Quit worrying about me and get
your ass out of here!" Inuyasha said as he ripped the tentacle
out of his stomach.
"No! I'm not leaving you!" Kagome
yelled as she alighned another arrow.
'Kagome...' Inuyasha
thought in his head. She let the bow string go and the arrow went
hurling at Naraku. His eyes grew large and the arrow peirced him in
the heart.
"How was i defeated by a mere half-demon and a
human girl?" Naraku said as he jumped up into the air. Kagura
caught him on her feather and carried him away. She secretly looked
back at the group longingly but kept her guard up as she flew Naraku
away to their hiding place.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome said as she caught him in her
arms. "You idiot! You're a human and you jumped in front of
me?! You would been killed if he had hit you in your heart!"
Kagome said gently with tears rolling down her cheeks. His black hair
blew gently as the wind whistled through the
field.
"Kagome...please don't cry." Miroku said as
he sat next to Sango. "He'll be okay; he's just being his normal
stubborn self!"
"He's just protective of you, that's
all." Sango said as she stroked Kiarara's soft cat fur. Kiarara
purred.
"Kagome, we need to treat his wounds." Shippo
said as he jumped onto her lap.
"Yes, say, why don't i
take him back to my time? I'm sure my time is much more...um...a
much better place to heal a wound like this. I think he'll heal
faster in my time than here. Come on; help me carry him while he's
asleep." Kagome said as she lifted him up.
"Damn, he's
out like a light." Miroku said. They giggled and continued
walking towards the bone-eaters well.
"Good-bye Kagome. Have a nice trip, hope to see you
soon okay?" Sango said as she waved good-bye to Kagome.
"Of
course! Okay, ill, i mean, we'll be back in a couple days, so take
care until then."
"Can do, see ya" Miroku
said
Kagome nodded and jumped down into the well.
"Inuyasha lay down!
You're going to re-open your wounds!" Kagome yelled as she got
up. She pushed him back down and walked over to her desk. She picked
up some ointments and walked back over to Inuyasha. She lifted his
shirt up just enough to see the bandages. She pulled them off gently.
"This may hurt a little..." She said as she un-screwed
the cap on the ointment bottle. She squeezed a little onto her finger
and rubbed it into the wound. She jumped when Inuyasha screamed in
pain.
"Geez! Would you keep it down?! My family is trying to
sleep! Its 4am for crying out loud!" Kagome snapped as she put
her hand over his mouth. He glared over at her, but looked away when
she stared into his deep golden eyes with a concerned look in her
eyes. He nodded his head and she took his hand with one of her
hands.
'Huh?' he thought to himself as he looked over her. She
smiled at him and squeezed more ointment onto her finger. She rubbed
it into his wound again. He squeezed her hand.
"I'm glad
you a human right now."
"Why?" he asked
painfully
"Because...otherwise...id have 5 holes in my
hand."
"Oh yeah, sorry."
'Did he
just...apologize to me?' Kagome gasped
"What?"
Inuyasha asked confused
"Huh? Oh nothing!" She said.
"Sota! What are
you doing up?! Its waaaay past your bedtime!" Kagome said.
Inuyasha was back asleep and Kagome was sitting on her knees next to
him on the ground. She rested her head on the side of the bed and
looked at Inuyasha. Sota picked up a blanket and put it on her
shoulders.
"Thanks Sota. I'm fine; i'm just watching
Inuyasha to make sure he's okay. Now, go back to bed, okay?"
"Kay,
see ya in the morning."
"Okay." Kagome sighed as
she looked at Inuyasha. 'He looks so peaceful...his face...looks
just like the first time i met him...' Kagome thought to
herself.
She leaned forward and rested her head on his chest, she
soon dosed off into a deep sleep. Inuyasha woke up moments after she
had fallen asleep.
"Uh..." he stuttered as he saw her
laying on him. He relaxed and smiled. He stroked her long jet black
hair. She smiled in her sleep.
"Yeah,
what are you doing?" Inuyasha said as he slowly sat up and
rubbed his eyes.
"I've got a big test tomorrow and if we're
still here, i've got to take it. Other wise I'll more than likely
fail 9th grade and have to go to summer school. Which i really don't
want to." She gasped as Inuyasha put his hand on her
shoulder.
"Kagome..."
"Inuyasha! Why are you
out of bed?! Your going to re-open you wou" She started to say
but he cut her by hugging her.
"I'm sorry..."
"For
what?" Kagome asked cautiously
"For ever putting you in
danger Kagome."
"Inuyasha..."
"You stay
with me...and risk your life...and i was so scared i might have
lost you yesterday...i'm sorry for worrying you Kagome..."
Tears
welled up in Kagome's eyes.
"Thank you Inuyasha I..."
Kagome said sweetly but was cut off when Inuyasha put his lips gently
up against hers. She gasped and closed her eyes, she gave into his
kiss. He broke the kiss and held her close to him. Tears rolled down
her cheeks as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"Kagome...I
promise to you that i will protect you with my life...and if
anything was to ever happen to you...I...I...I don't know what
i'd do..." Inuyasha said in a low tone. He hugged Kagome in
closer and she did the same.
"Sota!"
Kagome yelled. She pushed Inuyasha off of her.
"Ow! Whad'ja
do that for Kagome?!" Inuyasha said as he clutched his
wounds.
"Oh my god! I'm sorry! I forgot about your wounds!
Lemme look at them."
"No."
"Yes."
"No!"
"YES!"
She shot him a 'pretty-please with sugar on top' look and he
melted.
"Fine." He laid down on the bed and took off his
shirt. Kagome gasped at his wounds.
"Your wounds
are...their..."
"Their healed. Yeah...I figured you
would have guessed they'd heal up quickly, exspessialy a minor wound
like that hole Naraku gave me." Inuyasha smirked.
"Wow,
well whatever, you two come down to eat breakfast before you head out
okay?"
"Kay Sota, thank you." Kagome said as she
walked him to her door and shut it.
"Why? It's not like
i've never seen you."
Kagome rolled her eyes. "Still,
it feels weird enough so could you just turn around for me?" She
gave him a puppy dog face.
"Fine." He said as he walked
over to the window and looked out.
"And no peeking!"
Kagome said as she began undressing. Inuyasha stared out the window.
He had an urge to look but was'ent going to do that...accept maybe
once. He looked out of the corner of his eye.
"Inuyasha! I
said NO PEEKING!" Kagome said sternly.
"Feh." He
smirked.
"Kay, i'm done, you can look now." Kagome
said as she grabbed her yellow backpack.
"Come on, lets go
eat so we can leave...We need to destroy Naraku once and for all! He
got away from us last time...unfortunately...so we need to find
him while he's vulnerable..." Kagome said as she walked towards
her door. Inuyasha grabbed her hand and stopped her.
"What is
it Inuyasha?" Kagome asked as she cocked her head to the
side.
"Oh um...I just...I just wanted to walk down
with you..." They blushed together and Kagome smiled.
"M'kay"
She said sweetly. She grasped his hand in hers and walked out of the
room.
"Yeah,
i'm going to go gather up some medicines and things. Inuyasha, you
eat and I'll be right back okay?" Kagome asked as she got
up.
"Yeah, whatever." He said as he grabbed a rice ball
and stuffed it into his mouth.
"So Inuyasha...how are
things between you and Kagome?" Sota asked smiling
Inuyasha
blushed and replied, "What do you mean?"
"How is
your relationship going?" Sota explained.
"I...uh...we...um..." Inuyasha stuttered just
long enough for Kagome to return.
"Kay, we got medicine. I'm
going to eat something then we need to go, plus i know Shippo
probably misses me." Kagome laughed as she sat down next to
Inuyasha.
When he saw her smile, his own face lit up. Underneath
the table he placed his hand on her hand which was resting on her
thigh. She blushed but didn't look over at him. He smiled and kept
looking down at his plate.
"I
have a feeling it's a scrawny-wolf you're talking about..."
"Yes,
we need to get his jewel shards before Naraku does...and i'm
pretty sure he'll give them to me, but when we get there, you just
sit quietly and let me do the talking, no matter what Koga tries on
me, i can handle myself. Kay Inuyasha?" She asked. He picked her
up and smirked
"What ever, but if he tries anything more than
a hug or hands then he's DEAD." Inuyasha warned. She put her
arms around his neck and nodded. He walked over to the well house and
opened the door. They waved goodbye to Ms.Higurashi and stepped up to
the well.
"Ready?" Inuyasha asked as he stood up on the
lip of the well.
"Uh-huh." Kagome smiled at him and he
blushed.
He jumped down into the well and they were surrounded by
the blue aura.
