Absence (currently on hiatus)

by TheShipper123

Sango has left the traveling party with Miroku to "bear children" and Shippo has fallen for another demon. Now it is just Kagome and Inuyasha traveling to find the perfect place to end the journey. They are under constant attack due to the fact that they seem to find the perfect spot... at the same time as Sesshomaru. All credit for characters and story goes to creators of show.

As Kagome explained their situation, Rin followed her every word with wide eyes. As Kagome explained about Sesshomaru attacking them, Rin gasped. "He said it was a wild animal in the bushes!" "He might have thought it would be better to lie and protect you?" Kagome guessed. Rin shook her head.

"He promised he wouldn't lie to me, Miko." Rin replied simply. Kagome frowned. "Then why would he…" here Kagome lost her train of thought. "Rin." She said. "I need to get InuYasha as far away from Sesshomaru as possible. Can you cover for us until we're gone?" Rin nodded her head vigorously.

"Thank you." Kagome said with a small smile. "But if Master Jaken finds out, I can't keep him quiet." Rin warned. "Where is he anyway?" asked Kagome. "Out with Sesshomaru Sama." Rin replied. "But they will return soon, so you should hurry." Kagome's heart raced and she felt nervous about the situation, but she picked InuYasha up and ran, faster than she had ever ran before.

She ran towards Kaede's hut, thinking that she could help, but to her surprise, Kaede had gone out to gather herbs for medicine. "Can anyone help us?" Kagome shouted helplessly. "For InuYasha's sake?" She felt a hand rest on her shoulder. InuYasha was still in her arms, but he was moving and looking a lot less helpless then she had expected. He hugged her around her shoulders and coughed until he winced. "Don't worry, InuYasha." Kagome whispered. "I can find some help for you soon."

Kaede returned at sundown and was surprised to see her visitors. "So, ye found yourselves in a battle, eh? Mayhaps I have the correct herbs to assist ye." Kaede searched around in her satchel for the herbs she needed. "Ah. Here." Kaede handed her a herb that smelled like coffee beans. "Mayhaps the smell ails ye, but this herb shall help Inuyasha. Ye should wait outside." And with that, Kaede began her work.
