Midnight Feathers

Chapter Four: Wounds and Pains

"Keh! That damn weather man was wrong! Its pouring outside, ten percent of rain my ass," Inuyasha huffed to Sango as he looked out the window at the rain. He could be doing better things right now like going after those damn monkey demons that escaped, but no. He was stuck fixing the shrine.

After Inuyasha and the others put Kagome into Inuyasha's room to rest, Miroku and Inuyasha got their injuries cleaned up by Sango, than the men were off to fix the warehouses that were damaged by the monkeys. After they finished the last warehouse, they were taking a break when it began to rain. Inuyasha was glad that him, Miroku and the other monks fixed up the warehouses before the rain started or Kaede would have gone crazy about how important the items in the warehouses were and how they need to be saved from the rain. Inuyasha could have care less about the items but it kept Kaede off his back.

But the real reason why he stayed at the shrine was because of Kagome. He wanted to make sure that she was okay first before he left, but he wasn't going to let the others know though.

"Well just think Inuyasha, the rain is helping you clean the shrine. See," Sango said as she pointed outside to the shrine grounds, "the rain is washing way the blood, one less thing to do." Inuyasha looked as indeed the rain was washing the blood way.

Inuyasha huffed in defeat as he walked away from the window and sat on floor. Sango giggled at Inuyasha as she followed him.

"How are your wounds? Do they hurt?" Sango asked as she sat in front of him.

"Feh, their fine. Like I told you hundreds of times before in the past, my body is different from yours. The injuries will be totally gone in a few hours." Inuyasha informed Sango again.

Sango smiled at Inuyasha. She knew that he could take more damage than her or Miroku, but she knew Inuyasha could really push himself at times.

"So," Inuyasha said as he lay down on his back to show Sango that he was okay, "how long have you known Kagome?"

Sango was surprised at Inuyasha's question. Why would he care about how she knew Kagome?

Inuyasha looked up at Sango. "Well?"

"Oh uh, I've known Kagome a little bit over a year now. She's a sweet girl, she's also a hella good cook too! There is nothing that she makes that tastes bad." Sango said as she remember all the mouth watering food Kagome had made her for Christmas, her birthday or just gave to her to eat. "We first meet at the coffee shop and just became very close friends from there" she informed.

"Do you know the club she works at?" Inuyasha asked trying to get more information.

"uhmmm," Sango muttered as she began to try to remember the name of the club.

"Oh!" Sango said as she snapped her fingers, "After Dark Paradise. That's the club she works at. Why do you want to know?" Sango ask.

Inuyasha closed his eyes, he knew the place. He and Miroku only have been there once though. It's a popular club that was just built not too long ago, it's a place to dance dirty, drink and pick up girls. "I just wanted to know. I thought maybe me and Miroku went to her job when went to go club hopping is all. Geeze, Sango can a guy ask a question?" he said with a smirk on his face letting her know he was just playing around.

Sango smiled down at him as she got up.

"Whatever you say Inuyasha,"

Miroku walked into the living room looking both at the two with a shocked look on his face.

Sango and Inuyasha looked up at Miroku questionably as he stood there looking around the room for something or someone.

"What are you doing Miroku?" Sango finally asked as he walked over to her.

"She's not with you guys?" Miroku asked in a questionable voice.

Inuyasha sighed as he got up, "Who's not with us Miroku?"

"Kagome," Miroku informed as both Inuyasha and Sango froze from where they stood, "she's not in Inuyasha's room when I walked by it a few minutes ago. After I saw that, I went looking for you two to make sure she was with you." Miroku informed them being to worry.

"She missing!" Sango thought out loud.

"She couldn't have gotten far," Inuyasha said as he began to sniff the air. He could still smell Kagome's scent, it was close by.

"Come on!" Inuyasha said as he dashed down the hall and out the back door, Sango and Miroku following closely behind him.

Kagome was sleeping peacefully until she was awoken by a pain that came from her stomach that would shoot up to her chest, it felt like someone was stabbing her and pulling up onto the knife. She moaned as she sat up and looked around the room. This wasn't her room, whose room was she sleeping in? The room was a fairly big from the lack of furniture. There was only the queen size bed, small coffee table, dresser, a clock on the dresser, a sword on top of the coffee table and a long mirror that was on the wall.

Getting out of bed, another sharp pain shot though her. Kagome gasped as she fell to her knees from the pain.

W-why am I in so much pain? Looking up at the window above her on her left

Maybe if I g-get some fresh air the pain- that was all Kagome could think as another sharp pain came. Without thinking about anything else, Kagome was on her feet and out the room. She needed some fresh air. She leaned on the wall as she walked as fast as she could with the pain, stopping once in a while to catch her breath. Once she was down the stairs, her eyes saw a door that lead to outside. With enough strength she quickly walked to the door and opening it, throwing her body on the other side. Gasping the air, Kagome closed the door as she began to walk into the rain. She knew it was raining but she didn't care. She just wanted the pain to go away.

Another pain shot though her as she leaned on a tree that shied her a little bit from the rain. As the pain became again, she slid down to the ground, rounding into a ball trying to make the pain stop.

Whats h-happening to m-me….

Breathing in and out slowly, Kagome stayed there as the pain slowly began to leave her body. About twenty five minutes later the pain totally left her body to Kagome relief. Sitting up slowly, she put her back to the tree. Looking around it, she noticed she was still at the Amaterasu shrine. Kagome gasped as she remembered the monkey demon that attacked her in the forest. She looked around quickly, looking for any sighs for the monkey.

Kagome jumped as her name was beginning to be called. Looking in the direction of the voices were coming from, Kagome saw it was Miroku, Sango and Inuyasha running to her. She began to relax a little as they came closer.

Inuyasha jumped into the air and landed right in front of Kagome, totally surprising her. Kagome's eyes widen as Inuyasha got on his knees, closed his eyes and began to sniff her.

"Kagome, what are you doing out here?" Sango said worriedly as she got on her knees on the right side of Kagome.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't feeling good. I wanted to sit outside and get some fresh air." she exampled to Sango.

"Keh, you should have told one of us before going out. What if something happened?" Inuyasha told Kagome sternly.

That had reminded Kagome about the monkey demon,

"Did you kill the monkey demon that chased after me?" Kagome asked out wanted to get an answer.

All three of them froze.

"Kagome what are you talking about?" Miroku asked as he kneed down next to Kagome. She looked shocked at him, how could he have missed that big monkey?

"The monkey that came after me, the shrine was a mess! There was blood and some of the buildings where broken, and when that monkey chased me into the forest, a giant two tailed cat saved me and began to attack the monkey!" Kagome said remembering the whole ordeal.

Miroku laugh nervously, "Don't you remember, Kagome. You fell and hit your head." He informed her.

This took Kagome off guard.

"Wh…what?" Kagome asked.

"Youu, fell down the stairs while running. You hit your head pretty hard along with your arms and I think maybe your ribs. Sango wouldn't let me look, so I'm not sure." Miroku told Kagome.

"Yea! You fell down the stairs and Inuyasha saved you." Sango said smiling down at Kagome.

Kagome looked at Sango and back to Miroku. She noticed quickly at Miroku's arm was wrapped up.

"But your arm," Kagome said trying to put everything together.

"E-eh! I-"

"He got his ass kicked by me." Inuyasha said flatly, he didn't like lying to Kagome.

Kagome, Sango and Miroku looked at Inuyasha with a questionable look.

"He did?" Sango and Kagome asked together in unison.

"Yea. He thought he could beat me in a wrestling, so I showed him who the big boy was. My claws did that to his arm by mistake." Inuyasha said looking away from Kagome, he just couldn't lie to her face without feeling like shit for doing it.

"Oh…" was all Kagome said as she blushed. Now all she wanted to do was hide under a rock for sounding so stupid.

Tired of being in the rain, Inuyasha pushed Sango light over as he leaned down to Kagome and picked her up bridal style and standing up swiftly. Surprising Kagome in the act she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, bring herself closer to Inuyasha. As Kagome did this, Inuyasha's heart instantly skipped a beat.

"Come on, we'll all catch a cold if we stay out here in the rain." Inuyasha said as he walked back to the shrine house.

Kagome blushed the whole way as Inuyasha carried her into the the shrine house and back up into his room with Sango and Miroku close behind him. He placed her on her feet and pulled out a long t-shirt and baggy pair of pants from his dresser.

"Here, get out of those wet clothes. You can wear mine." Inuyasha said as he tossed the clothes to her and walked out the room, pushing Sango and Miroku out with him. He closed the door giving Kagome privates.

"uh, Inuyasha you know I could have given her some of my clothes," Sango said as she looked at Inuyasha as he walked down to her room.

"Well you were too slow." He replied back as he opened Sango's door and walked in, spotting Kirara in her small form sleeping on the bed.

Sango and Miroku walked in after him. Miroku notice what Inuyasha was trying to tell without words.

"Sango, you might want to hide Kirara from Kagome." Miroku said was he walked over to Kirara and petted her softly behind the ear.

"Ahh!"

Everyone dashed down the hall and flew into Inuyasha's room from where the screech came from. There Kagome stood in front of the dress holding on to the clock that read 5:47pm.

"I missed class!" Kagome said.

"Oh, I call your college and let them know your where hurt and resting. They said they would excuse you and they hope you feel better." Miroku said as he walked into the room and placed a hand on Kagome's shoulder trying to calm her. Inuyasha and Sango really knew that Miroku called and acted like her doctor, tricking her teachers into letting her have a day off.

"Really?" Kagome asked as Miroku smiled down at her and nodded his head.

"Oh! Thank you Thank you Thank you!" Kagome exclaimed as she threw herself into Miroku, giving him a big hug.

Seeing this, Inuyasha started to become very jealous. Before he knew it, he stormed over to the two.

Inuyasha stood behind Miroku as a light growl escaped his throat. He didn't like the sight of Kagome all over Miroku like that. Walking around to stand on the side of them, he placed one of his hands on Kagome's shoulder and the other on Miroku's shoulder. Swiftly he pulled them away from one another and slightly placed himself in front of Kagome, glaring his eyes at Miroku.

"uhh, Inuyasha are you okay?" Miroku questioned.

"Keh, I'm fine." Inuyasha said narrowing his eyes at him.

Kagome stared at Inuyasha and noticed he didn't let go of her shoulder.

"Well I guess I should get going, got to get ready for work."

"I'll go call a taxi." Miroku said as he walked out the room and down the hall.

"Oh, your clothes." Kagome stated as she looked up at Inuyasha.

"Keep them." He said as took his hand off her shoulder and walk over to his dresser. He opened the top open and pulled out two twenty dollar bills and put them into Kagome's hand.

"Here, this will pay for the taxi to take you home than to your work." Inuyasha informed her.

"Ah, I can't take this!" Kagome said as she tried to give him back the money, but he only pushed it back into her hands.

"No, please just take it. You don't have to pay me back," Inuyasha said.

Before Kagome could say no, Miroku came into the room tell them that the taxi was on its way. They all walked Kagome to the road and waited with her for the taxi. As the taxi came she looked at Inuyasha and smiled brightly at him that made his heart do a flip. He didn't want Kagome to leave, he wanted her to stay so he could smell that intoxicating scent of hers, see her smile beautifully at him, but she had to go. Inuyasha stood there as the taxi drove away with Kagome in it as Sango dashed up the stairs remembering she left the bath water running. As Inuyasha and Miroku walk up the steps together, Inuyasha hatched an idea.

"Hey Miroku, you want to go to a club tonight?"
