Chapter Seven: Staying For A While
For the next few days, Kagome slept as if she were dead... Koga, Ginta, and Hakaku refused to leave, so they began traveling inuyasha and the gang and watched over Kagome like a hawk... What scared them most was that she couldn't even stay awake long enough to eat... On the third day, however, she finally woke up...
"Hi... " Kagome said smiling, "How are you doing Koga?"
Koga chocked back a sob and wrapped his arms around Kagome's small frame, his heart bursting with joy... His Kagome had finally awoken...
"Kagome... You've been out for three full days!" Koga chocked frantically, "What happened to you, my dearest Kagome?! "
"I... I don't know... I don't remember... " Kagome said sadly, "I remember being so scared... I called for you Koga... Then everything went black... "
"Maybe you should go back home and rest Kagome... " Inuyasha said worriedly, "You've been pretty sick these past few days... "
"No!" Kagome screamed, "No! No! I... I mean... No... Uh... I'm gonna stay here for a while... "
"Kagome... " Inuyasha asked worriedly, "Did something happen over there? Something your not telling us?!"
"No!" Kagome gasped irritatedly, "I just... Dont want to go home for a while... That's all... "
Inuyasha and the others all looked at each other worriedly for a few moments before inuyasha spoke again.
"OK Kagome... If your sure you feel better... " inuyasha said.
"Yeah sure!" Kagome said a little too enthusiastically... "I feel much better, but inuyasha?"
"Yeah Kagome? What Is it?" Inuyasha asked.
"Can Koga come too?" Kagome asked nervously...
"Yeah... If he wants to... " Inuyasha said hesitantly...
Kagome looked at Koga, who gently nodded his head yes. To his and everyone's surprise, Kagome hugged him tightly...
"Thank you for staying with me... " Kagome whispered...
Kagome then turned to inuyasha and gently embraced him as well...
"Thank you inuyasha... I feel much safer with both of you here... " Kagome said smiling...
Later that night after they made camp and ate dinner around the fire, Koga asked inuyasha to go for a walk with him... After they walked deeper into the forest, Koga was the one to break the silence...
"I think someone tried to hurt Kagome when she went home inuyasha... There's a really weird smell like some kind of strange herbs all over her... " Koga said angrily.
"I noticed that too... " Inuyasha said worriedly, " Do you think someone poisoned her?!"
"Yeah... " Koga snarled, "There was a man's scent all over her too... The scent of his arousal... "
This had both Koga and Inuyasha snarling...
"That's why she doesn't want to go home right now!" Inuyasha snarled angrily, "Because she's afraid of him!"
"Exactly... But I have an idea... " Koga said leaning forward.
"What is it? " Inuyasha asked.
"If I bloodbond her to me i'll be able to sense it, any time she's in danger... Weather she is here with us or home in her era... " Koga said.
"It won't hurt her, will it?" inuyasha asked worriedly.
"No... " Koga said, "it won't hurt her, but, I won't do it unless she agrees to it... It won't be as powerful as a bonding mark, but it will be strong enough to slow the aging process considerably... "
"When will you ask her?" inuyasha asked.
"Here in a few days... And inuyasha... " Koga said seriously...
"Yeah, what is it?" Inuyasha asked.
"Even though the bastard that tried to hurt Kagome is human, if he hurts her again, I will kill him... Got a problem with that?! " Koga asked grinning evily...
"Not as long as I get to help... I want to watch him die as well... He'll pay for trying to hurt Kagome! " Inuyasha snarled...
At that moment, Koga and inuyasha formed an alliance with a common goal... They would avenge Kagome no matter what it takes...
Meanwhile, back at Naraku's castle...
"Kagura... " Naraku said quietly, "Have you seen that woman? "
"No... I told Kanna what the woman looked like, but as of yet, she's been unable to find her... " Kagura said bowing...
"Keep searching for her please... I must find her... " Naraku said sadly, "I must know why she would choose to save me... "
"Yes Naraku... " Kagura said bowing...
"And Kagura? " Naraku asked.
"Yes master?" Kagura asked.
"Should your search for the woman be fruitful... " Naraku said smiling, "I shall set you free... "
Kagura gasped in astonishment and bowed before swiftly exiting the room...
"I am counting on you... My dear daughter... " Naraku whispered.
