Race Against Time
A/N: Hey! This is my third story! For those reading Hanyou Slavery and Feelings are Harder to Express Than You Think I am really sorry. I have had writers block on those stories and I am trying to update them. In the mean time I will be writing this new one. I hope this one does well. Reviews are welcome, as are flames. Here is my New Story Race Against Time.
Chapter 1: Diagnosis
"Kagome! Watch out!"
Kagome turned and froze. Coming at her was another demon that decided to attack from behind while everyone was busy with the first one. As the demon got closer Kagome saw a flash of Silver and red out of the corner of her eye.
" InuYasha! No!"
Kagome screamed as InuYasha covered her body with his. InuYasha yelled out as the demon sunk his fangs into his shoulder.
"InuYasha! Kagome!"
Sango attacked the demon with Hiraikotsu while Miroku finished of the first demon with his wind tunnel. The demon retracted his fangs from InuYasha's shoulder just before getting killed by Hiraikotsu. InuYasha then collapsed onto Kagome as Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kilala ran over to them.
"InuYasha! InuYasha!"
Kagome yelled frantically as she kept trying to wake up InuYasha.
"Kagome! What's wrong with InuYasha?"
Sango asked as she sat down next to Kagome. Miroku immediately helped remove InuYasha from on top of Kagome. He then looked at the wound on his shoulder.
"Kagome"
Kagome looked up at Miroku who was now looking at her.
" We have to get him back to Kaede now, I think he's been poisoned".
Kagome nodded to him and helped Miroku load him onto a now transformed Kilala. Throughout the journey back to Kaede's Kagome kept pushing his bangs out of his face. When they arrived, Miroku and Kagome carefully carried InuYasha into Kaede's hut while Sango and Shippo went in ahead and helped Kaede get ready the medicinal herbs and bandages.
"Kagome, Miroku, set him down over on the blankets, Sango, please go gather some water for me."
Sango nodded and went to get the water. When Sago returned with the water, Kaede asked for them to leave the hut while she looked at, and bandaged InuYasha's wounds. Kagome refused to leave InuYasha's side so Kaede let her stay but she ushered everyone else out of the hut. When they were allowed to re-enter the hut, what they entered to did not give a good impression. They entered the hut to a very concerned Kagome looking over a newly bandaged InuYasha, while Kaede had a grim look on her face.
" Please sit down and I'll tell ye what I have discovered."
Everyone immediately became concerned because Kaede was not acting normal.
"Lady Kaede, what is wrong with InuYasha?"
"Yeah, InuYasha has had worse wounds and he passed them off as scratches, yet here he is still unconscious from a simple bite!"
Kaede sighed.
"InuYasha has indeed been poisoned, but I fear there is little we can do for him"
" What do you mean Kaede! What is wrong with InuYasha! He's been poisoned before! How is this time any different!"
Kagome yelled frantically from her spot beside InuYasha's side.
"InuYasha has not been poisoned like this before! This type of poison is more deadly! Any normal demon could die from this poison and InuYasha is only a half demon!"
"But Lady Kaede, isn't there a cure or something?"
Miroku ked, now extremely concerned for InuYasha's life.
"Yes there is but the ingredients are extremely difficult to find. After they are gathered it takes several hours to make, and by how much poison InuYasha has received I would guess he has abut 1 month before the poison kills him."
THE END OF CHAPTER 1!
How was it? I made the first chapter pretty short. I am trying to make them longer though. My computer isn't working very well so I may have a hard timer updating. I have to use the schools computer. I hope to update as soon as possible. Reviews are wanted! See Ya!
