"Who is he, really?"
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha. He had some dirt on his cheek, and she giggled. Then she got real serious, and asked him, "Do you think we should tell them?"
"Well, they're bound to find out anyway, so yeah, go ahead and tell them," Inuyasha said, wiping the dirt off his cheek. Kagome sighed, and turned to her friends.
"Inuyasha isn't human, well not totally. He's a hanyou, and he's from the year 1557. I wasn't really sick this whole time, but I was with Inuyasha. That's why I missed so much school. You see, about a year ago, I was hanging out in our shrine, and some large demon grabbed hold of me, and dragged me down the well. That's how I met Inuyasha, and how we became friends."
"Wait, so…you and Inuyasha, aren't really boyfriend and girlfriend?" Eri asked. The little anime sweat bubbled formed on the back of Kagome's head. She sighed, and nodded.
"Boyfriend…since when was I your boyfriend, Kagome? Besides, why would I want to?" (Aww, Inuyasha's gonna get it!)
"I…I don't know," she said glumly, looking at the ground.
"Oh, who cares about relationships right now, I mean, the stuff Kagome said was amazing!" Yuka said, and all three girls crowded around Inuyasha.
"What's it like five-hundred years ago?"
"Why do you carry around that rusty sword?"
"Why are you two-timing with Kagome?"
"WAIT, TWO-TIMING?!" Inuyasha yelled, and the girls jumped back.
"Yeah, you are two-timing on Kagome with Ki-…Oh! Oops, sorry, Kagome."
The girls, and Inuyasha looked to where Kagome was last standing, but she was nowhere to be found. The three girls ran inside, and quickly went up to her room. They jumped when they saw Inuyasha sitting next to Kagome, and holding her as she cried.
"How, but you were down there and…" Ayumi trailed off.
"Ayumi, just don't worry about it," Eri said, and she dragged her two friends out of the room. Kagome sat up, and wiped her eyes. She looked back at Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha?" she said really softly.
"What?"
"SIT! SIT! SIT!"
Unfortunately for Inuyasha, the floor did not hold up, and he fell through the floor. Ami, Yuka, and Ayumi were sitting in the room right underneath them, and screamed when Inuyasha fell to the floor.
"Uuuuggghh! WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR, KAGOME!" He yelled at her. "Stupid wench," he whispered to himself.
"Maybe for calling her a wench, and then saying that you didn't want to be her boyfriend," Ayumi said. Inuyasha looked up at her.
"Shut up."
"SIT!"
"GAAAAHH! Would you stop saying that?!"
Kagome grabbed Inuyasha by the arm, and dragged him upstairs. The three chattering girls followed them. Kagome went into her room, and put Inuyasha out on the windowsill.
"SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!"
"Woah! Kagome must be really mad," Yuka whispered to the other two. They nodded their heads in agreement. Kagome ran downstairs, and then outside. Of course, the Three Gossipers were right behind her.
Kagome ran up to Inuyasha, and she stopped. She suddenly felt light headed, and she fell to her knees.
"KAGOME!" Her friends screamed. Kagome felt no pain, but the warmth of her blood on her chest was proof enough that she was hurt. She looked up and saw Naraku…or was it…Hojo…no…it was…
"Suikotsu? How did he get here?"
And she passed out.
"Kagome…" Inuyasha whispered.
&&&&&&&&&
Kagome opened her eyes to find six pairs of eyes staring at her.
"Where…am I?" She asked wearily. Her mother answered her.
"In a hospital, dear, you were hurt badly. Luckily, Inuyasha was there, and got you here as fast as he could."
"I-Inuyasha?"
She looked around the room for him. She passed everyone. Yuka, Souta, Ayumi, Eri, Mom, Gramps…where was Inuyasha?
"Where…where is he?"
"We don't know, he took off before we got here," Ayumi said, looking at Kagome with sad eyes. She sighed, and looked out the window.
"H-How did I get hurt?" She asked, yet she seemed to know the answer to it already.
"When you went to go like 'kill' Inuyasha, an older man, around the age of thirty, suddenly appeared. He had spiky hair, two green tattoos on his face, and long claws like Freddy Kruger," Eri explained. "We tried to warn you, but it was too late. He had already gotten you, and then he just left."
"Oh," she said.
"Kagome Higurashi? A woman said, appearing at the door.
"Yes?"
"There is a young boy in the next room, calling out your name. I'm guessing that he knows you, and I think you should see him."
Kagome sat up quickly. She cried out in pain, and everyone rushed to her bed.
"Hey, sis, are you alright?"
"Yea…ugh…I'm fine," she told everyone. "What was the young boy wearing?"
"An old antique robe from what looks like many years ago."
"Take me to him. Now!"
The nurse put Kagome in a wheelchair, and wheeled her to the room right next to hers. She stood up, and with the help of the nurse, she walked into the room. Kagome slowly walked up to the bed, and she grabbed Inuyasha's hand. He opened his eyes, and looked at her.
"Hey K-Kagome."
"Hey. What happened to you?"
"Suikotsu (sp?)… I was running after him, and I...aaaggh!" Inuyasha said as he tried to sit up. Kagome held his back, and she slowly laid him back down. He sighed, and continued his story.
"I was chasing him, and when I made it there, something hit me in the back. I turned around to see this guy holding a metal contraption, pointed at me. I had never felt that much pain before. It was terrible."
Inuyasha looked down at the ground while Kagome looked straight at him.
"I'm sorry, Inuyasha. None of this would have happened if I hadn't got so angry. We would both be back in the feudal era if it weren't for my stupidity."
"Feh. Sometimes being stupid is good," he said, grasping her hand tighter. The nurse in the room was going to leave, but when she opened the door, she found five people flattened to the floor.
"Even when we are in your time, we still have absolutely no privacy."
"You got that, right."
Gramps, Souta, Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi got up. They dusted themselves off, and chattered as if nothing happened. (Teehee, only her mom is smart enough) Inuyasha watched them leave and close the door.
"Kagome?" he whispered to her, and she sat down on the bed.
"What?"
Inuyasha whispered something in her ear, and her face turned red. She felt the back of her dressing gown, and her eyes widened. No one had tied the back, so her backside was showing the whole time. She quickly tied it and muttered, "Damn doctors."
Inuyasha smiled. He pulled the blanket off him, and Kagome started to laugh. And laugh.
"What?" he asked. Then he looked down at what he was wearing. "GGAAAHHH! Why am I wearing a dress?"
Kagome laughed and laughed while Inuyasha pulled his blanket back up. She grabbed his hand and laid down. She sighed, and leaned into him. He looked down at her and blushed.
"You managed to scare the hell out of me twice in one day. How do you do it?" Kagome asked him.
"It's one of my great traits. I am always trying to scare the crap out of everyone."
"Well, stop," she said, smiling. She closed her eyes, and fell asleep. Inuyasha unconsciously wrapped his arm around her, and he too, fell asleep.
&&&&&&&&&
Two Days Later
Kagome's mother, Aeori, was making brownies in the kitchen when the front door opened. (A/n: Sorry, don't know her real name! POO!) She pulled her apron off, and went to greet the new guest. There was Inuyasha and Kagome standing right there.
"Oh! I didn't know that you were coming home so soon!" She said as the timer went off. "I'll be right back."
Aeori pulled the brownies out of the oven, and placed them on the stove. Walking over to the front door, she saw that they weren't standing there anymore. She checked the living room, and saw that they were sitting on the couch, watching television.
"Do you want some vanilla brownies? I know that Inuyasha doesn't like chocolate, so I just made them my own way."
"Sure, mom, we'll be right there," Kagome said, not looking up from the television. Aeori smiled, and went back into the kitchen. She grabbed two plates, and put some brownies on them. She handed one to Kagome, and one to Inuyasha.
"Thank you," they said at the same time. She nodded, and went upstairs to get some laundry.
"What are we watching?" Inuyasha asked.
"The news. It says that they are going to show Suikotsu."
"Oh." They sat there until the end, and during the last thirty seconds, they showed a picture of him, and how to contact the police if they see him.
An Hour Before
"Inuyasha," a doctor said. His dog-ears, that were awesomely hidden by the pillow, twitched. "This is for your gunshot wound. Place it on your back, and let it sit for at least twenty minutes, or until it dries," he told him, placing a bottle in his hands.
"And you, Miss Higurashi, place this on your's every day as soon as you get up, and there will be no infection," another doctor said, handing her a purple jar.
"Thank you," she said, and they left the hospital.
End Flashback
"Inuyasha, do you think that we should put your medicine on now?"
"Why?"
"If you don't, it will become a huge purple blob that hurts every time you touch it."
"Feh, fine."
Kagome stood up, and grabbed the bottle. Inuyasha pulled his fire-rat hitoe off, and then his shirt. There was a bandage that went around his shoulder, and he rubbed it tenderly. He held out his hand for it, and she told him:
"How do you think you're going to get it on your own back?"
"I'll manage."
"Here I'll do it."
"No, I'm doing it!"
"Inuyasha, quit being so stubborn!" She yelled, as she forced him onto the couch. Of course, he's stronger than her, so he only made it halfway.
"NO!"
"Inuyasha, SIT!"
His face slammed into the couch, and he groaned. That was starting to get really annoying. Kagome opened the bottle, and read the instructions.
"Open bottle. Take out a dime's full, and place it on the affected area," she murmured to herself. She set the bottle down, and slowly pulled off Inuyasha's bandages. He winced in pain, and she noticed it. Stroking a few fingers through his hair, she asked, "Are you alright?"
"Of course I'm fine. Just keep going or I'll change my mind," he snapped at her. She continued to unwrap the bandages. She placed her finger around the bullet hole, and he again twitches in pain. Kagome takes the medication, and pours a dime-sized amount on her hand. Then as gently as she could, she rubbed it in.
Instantly, Inuyasha squirmed in pain. If just that could hurt a hanyou like him that much, she wondered what it would be like for a human.
Inuyasha turned his head, and Kagome looked at him.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"I-I'm fine."
Kagome ran a hand through his silver hair, and then stopped to scratch his ears. All dogs love that, so why not Inuyasha? She just sat there, rubbing his ears until he fell asleep.
Kagome stood up, and walked into the bathroom. She grabbed some bandages the doctor had given them, and went back downstairs. She tried her best to wrap the bandages around him without waking him up, and she succeeded. She went around the couch, and saw something glimmer on his face.
Kagome walked over, and wiped his cheek. It was a tear, just a lone tear.
&&&&&&&&&
Kagome and Inuyasha headed back to the well. It had been well over two weeks since they had gone back to the feudal era. Kagome and Inuyasha grabbed hands, and jumped into the well. She climbed onto his back, careful not to touch his right shoulder, and jumped out.
Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were playing a card game that Kagome had taught them. Go Fish. When the two entered the hut, Shippo ran up to Kagome, and wrapped her arms around her. Kagome smiled and hugged him back.
"Where have you two been?" Miroku asked. He wanted to know every juicy detail.
"Well," Kagome began, "Inuyasha scared the crap out of me when I thought he was dead. My friends found out about him being a hanyou. Then Suikotsu stabbed me. Don't ask me how he got there…I don't know. Then when I woke up in the hospital, Inuyasha was in the room next to me. He was shot by a gun. Um…then we went home, watched the news, and ate some brownies…THE END!"
"Wow," was all that Sango could say.
"Yeah, I know."
"Oh crap! Inuyasha! I totally forgot!"
Inuyasha's head dropped, and Kagome dragged him into the hut. The other three followed them, but they just looked into the window.
"Do I really have to do this again?"
"Yes. He said that you had to have it until your wound has healed up. Since it hasn't…take your shirt off."
Miroku smiled evilly at this, and Sango hit him over the head.
"Pervert," she whispered. Inuyasha, who was now flat on his stomach, not wearing a shirt, sighed heavily.
"Does it still hurt to do this?" Kagome asked. He nodded. She pulled his bandages off, and when he fidgeted a little, she placed a hand on his back. Pulling out the jar again, she pulled some medicine out with her finger, and placed it on his back again.
Inuyasha didn't squirm this time. He was used to that. Although, he tensed only slightly, Kagome could see the pain in his eyes. She rubbed the rest of his back, and he quieted down some. Sango and Miroku stared wide-eyed at the two of them. It was as if they were actually a couple. She took care of him in his time of need. Same with him.
"Oh my god," Sango whispered.
"What?" Shippo asked. "All she did was rub his back."
"Yeah, well…"
"Well, what?"
"I'll tell you when you're older," Miroku said.
"Oh, so like Kagome and Inuyasha are going to, you know…do it!"
Kagome looked up at the voice that she had just heard, a blush starting to creep upon her face. Inuyasha turned his head, and sat up.
"What did you say?!" He growled at Shippo. Shippo grew wide-eyed, and fled from the scene. Kagome started to laugh. Inuyasha looked back at her.
"What's so funny?"
"Huh…oh, umm…well when Shippo said that, I thought that it was kind of funny to hear a kid say something like that."
"Oh, at first I thought that you were actually thinking of doing that."
"WHAT?! Oh, no! I was never thinking of something as horrid as that!"
"Oh! So being with me is horrid?!"
"No, doing that with you, or anyone else, would be horrid."
"Oh."
Kagome helped Inuyasha stand up. They walked out hand-in-hand, and she leaned her head on his shoulder.
Three weeks later
There they were, waiting for Naraku. Sango had her hiraikotsu ready, Miroku, his wind Tunnel, Kagome, her arrows, but where was Inuyasha?
Alas, he had to wait inside until the sun rose, for he was only human. The new moon had just started, and they all knew that Naraku was going to attack.
They all stood there for at least two hours, and nothing happened. They turned back to go inside, but was stopped by none other than Naraku. Kagome shot her arrow, and Sango threw her Hiraikotsu. Miroku opened up his Wind Tunnel, and they were about to win.
Then, as Naraku was about to enter the Wind Tunnel, he grabbed onto Kagome. She screamed out, and Miroku shut his hand, stringing the beads. He tightened his grasp on Kagome, and she yelled out, "Inuyasha!"
Then, it was the crack of dawn. Inuyasha was there in an instant, freeing Kagome from his grasp. Kagome gasped and choked for air, and Miroku ended up sucking Naraku up into his Wind Tunnel. The Tunnel disappeared as soon as he shut his hand, not worried about the insects since they were probably long gone from his body.
"We did it," Kagome whispered, then fell into unconsciousness…
How was that? I left it hanging so your mind would have something to comprehend. Like there's much to your mind anyway... MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh…eh-hem…anyway, please review my story. It would mean a lot to my kitty, 2D.
