The Tainted Heart and the Sacred Soul Chapter one:

The Injured Miko

After defeating Naraku the Inuyasha gang were all exhausted and rushing

back to Kaede's hut to get immediate medical attention for the dying miko,

Kagome. She cared so much for her friends and her true love that she

jumped in front of Kanna's mirror just as she was turning Inuyasha's kaze no

kizu against him. This caused the delicate miko to take on the full force of the

kaze no kizu. She was now on Kirara's back with Inuyasha holding onto her

slim waist to make sure she didn't fall off of the cat youkai as it ran at full

speed towards the village. When they arrived Kaede immediately rushed to

attend to the young miko's injuries Kaede could easily tell by the gashes that

she had been hit with the kaze no kizu. Kaede then looked up at Inuyasha.

"What have ye done to her?" she asked the worried hanyou. He simply

replied by saying "I did nothing to Kagome, it was Kanna's mirror that

caused the kaze no kizu to harm her." He then began to stroke her raven hair

only to be interrupted by Kaede. She looked up at him and said "Inuyasha ye

must leave for I am sure Kagome would not be happy if she woke to find

you had seen her bare body." Inuyasha nodded his head and started to

walk out of the hut then it dawned on him. He walked back and and dragged

Miroku by the collar out of the hut. Miroku merely yelled "Inuyasha why

must you always take me away from Kagome and Sango? Let me go back to

the lovely young ladies. They need my comforting words!" Inuyasha hit him

on the head and said "Keh! Your comforting words!? More like your

wandering hands! "Inuyasha looked up and noticed they were at

Goshinboku. He looked up and at the exact spot he was sealed and

remembered the way he met Kagome. Remembering he had almost killed his

sweet miko that night, he shuddered at the thought. Miroku noticed this and

turned and asked "Inuyasha what's wrong? You normally pay no attention to

the cold air. Or is it because you are worried about Kagome?" Inuyasha

looked at the lecherous monk and said "I AM worried about Kagome but that

is not what sent chills through my body, I remembered when I met her here

at this exact spot,and also tried to kill her in this exact spot at the exact

moment she unsealed me from this tree..."he let his voice trail off. Miroku

looked shocked that Inuyasha had actually tried to kill Kagome when he met

her yet she stayed by his side and loved him. Miroku opened his mouth

about to speak when Shippo's voice cut through the night air as he ran

towards them yelling "Kagome woke up! Kagome woke up! Inuyasha!

Miroku! Kagome woke up!" Inuyasha upon hearing this ran to the hut only to

be stopped by Sango at the doorway. "Kagome- Chan is awake and has been

asking for you Inuyasha but you must wait while Kaede makes her decent

again. Kagome woke shortly after Kaede finished treating her wounds. You

must keep in mind, although she acts strong like she's fully healed...she

could still die at any moment. Therefore you must be careful when handling

her frail body." Inuyasha nodded while he waited. Sango looked back into

the hut to see if Kagome was decent then she turned back to Inuyasha and

stepped aside so he could enter. He entered the hut only to see Kagome lying

on the floor covered in bandages as she endured the pain. Inuyasha ran to

kneel beside her. She looked up at him and smiled then said (I-Inuyasha

thank you." The hanyou responded by saying "What do you mean thank you

I let you get hurt and worst of all I let you get hurt by my own attack..." he

let his voice trail off so that the last 13(AN: sorry I didn't no how else to

say that, that part was very quiet, gomen)words could only be heard by

Kagome. She began to sit up but Inuyasha stopped her. "Inuyasha I want to

get up." She pleaded hoping he would allow it. He looked at her eyes and

could see the pain she was suffering to endure. He said "ok, but there are a

few circumstances." She looked up at him and said "ok, what are they?"

"One, you must let me sit you up, two you must listen to me when I say it's

time to lay back down and rest, three you must let me know if you are in a

great deal of pain, and fo-" He was cut off by Kagome who said "How many

rules are there? I'm sick of lying around on this floor doing nothing." She

pouted. Inuyasha laughed and said "There are only four rules and the fourth

one is you allow me to hold, hug, and kiss you." He said with a grin on his

face. She laughed "Ok I agree to the circumstances, now can I get up?" The

hanyou simply laughed and lifted her up onto his lap. She looked up into his

golden eyes while he looked down into her mocha eyes. He started to lean

down to kiss her as she did her best to lean upwards. Their lips were

centimeters away from each other when a figure appeared in the doorway and

yelled "INUYASHA!!!!!" The shrill scream was heard throughout the lands.

AN: hmmmmmmmmmmmm who is it at the door? Is it Kouga? Kaede?

Shippo? Miroku? Sango? Or possibly even Kikyo? I bet you want to

know but to-bad this is the end of this chapter watch for the next

chapter if you want to know who it was at the door. I know this is a

short chapter and a terrible way to start my first fan fiction but at least

I'm trying. Also I hope to have a new chapter out everyday although it

may be hard to do considering school started yesterday anyways

thanks for reading! and critisism is allowed as long as its not

toooooo harsh. Buh bye now!
