Hello everyone :) Here's chapter ten for all of you, please enjoy and so please review. We love to see what you guys have to say.

Chapter ten:

The morning sun had lit up the cave, and shined on Inuyasha's face, waking him up. He stretched and noticed that he was fully recovered, he had no more pain from the poison. His body felt like its normal self once more. The only pain left was that in his broken heart.

With his body fully recovered, Inuyasha was once again on his way. It felt good not needing that branch any more, he ran and ran. Leaping from tree to tree. Feeling the cool air crisp morning air against his skin.

The short pause, he had to take, did nothing to help his friends. Even now they were far behind him, at least two days travel behind him. Especially now with him back up to speed, they were likely to lose another day.

As he was moving forward, his mind was playing tricks on him. Visions started appearing in front of him; visions of him and Kagome fighting, of her telling him she would always stay by his side, The kiss they shared after he found her in the darkness after those three long days, and the look on her face when the well took him away. Then came the vision that he hated the most, the vision of her kissing another man. When that vision appeared before him, he stopped in his tracks. Slamming his fists into a nearby tree.

"Damn it! Why do I have to keep seeing that...vision! I hate it!" A growl escaped his lips just then. He hit the tree once more making it fall to the ground, with a loud crash.

'I need to forget her! She's moved on, I need to move on too.' Inuyasha thought angrily to himself, after taking a few deep breaths he added 'Or at least try too.'

Back with Kagome

The group was making progress, slowly they were catching up to Inuyasha.

Kagome still wasn't sleeping well, she was having trouble. Although from the lack of sleep her movements were not quick enough, causing her to trip over a tree root that was sticking out of the ground. With a loud cry and a thump she was down.

In an instant Sango was at her friends side, kneeling down beside her, "Kagome are you okay?" Sango asked worryingly.

All Kagome could do was signal to her ankle, noticing this Sango said "Okay Kagome, let me take a look at it" She said gently.

Kagome nodded and Sango went to take a look. "OUCH!" Kagome cried, Sango then knew that she found the sensitive spot.

"I don't like this" Sango said with a sigh, "Kagome I think you sprained it, really bad at that. We should st.."

"NO!" Kagome yelled before Sango could finish.

"We need to keep going, Inuyasha is already days ahead of us...we need to keep moving" Kagome said as she was starting to cry. The pain from her ankle, plus with all the stress it was just all too much.

Sango went over by Miroku and whispered in his ear, so Kagome couldn't hear.

"Miroku I'm worried...she can't keep going on like this" Sango whispered to Miroku in a worried voice. Miroku looked up at the sky. He noticed that night would soon be here, he figured they had about two hours left of day light.

Looking back at Sango he said "Sango dear, I think it's time for the tea."

"Are you sure Miroku?" Sango questioned.

Miroku just simply nodded his head. He walked over to Kagome, "Kagome why don't you go and rest your ankle in the stream over there" He pointed in the right direction. "The cool water will help control the swelling and might also help you relax some." Miroku suggested.

Kagome just simply said "Okay."

"Sango and I will prepare a fire, and we will all have some tea when you return." Miroku added with a smile.

Kagome gave a small smile in return, trying to dry off her eyes.

While Kagome was away soaking her ankle, Miroku and Sango made the fire and began the tea.

Sango felt guilty for what they were about to do, "Miroku?"

"Yes Sango?"

"Should we really do this?" Sango asked him, hoping he could give her some closure on doing this.

Miroku nodded "I'm sorry Sango, but she needs the rest. Especially with her injury I think it's for the best." He answered her honestly.

"True but she'll really be upset, when she finds out." Sango stated.

"Yes she probably will but isn't her health worth the price?" Miroku asked her.

Sango nodded in reply, "Yeah, your right Miroku." She then added the sleeping herbs to the water, sighing she thought 'Please understand, Kagome. This is for your own good.'

Five minutes later Kagome returned.

"Kagome do you need help, getting over here?" Sango asked her friend.

Kagome shook her head, "No I can manage, but thanks any way Sango" she replied while limping over to the fire.

"You're just in time Kagome" Miroku said with a smile "The tea just finished." He said while pouring her a cup, "Here have some, it will make you feel better." Miroku added while handing the cup to her.

"Thank you guys, this smells good" Kagome said just before taking a sip of her tea. The taste seemed a little off to her, she couldn't figure out why.

"What's different?" Kagome asked.

Miroku and Sango pretended to give a confused look. "What do you mean Kagome?" Miroku asked her.

"I'm not sure really, it's just the taste seems off somehow." Kagome explained.

"Your taste buds are probably just off right now Kagome, with all the stress and now the pain from your ankle." Sango came up with in a hurry.

"Yeah your probably right Sango." Kagome said while drinking some more. She didn't care for the taste but it was nice and warm so she put up with it.

It didn't take long for the tea to work. Soon Kagome was feeling dizzy and her eyes here becoming heavy. Within the next five minutes she was out.

"Miroku, what are we supposed to do? We can't drug her like this every night." Sango asked and stated.

"I know dear Sango, I know. Who knows maybe this will help her recover? If not completely then at least some. We do need to find a way to move faster." Miroku pointed out as well. "Inuyasha already has a huge lead on us. The sooner we find him the better." He finished.

Okay everyone here was chapter ten! What did you think?
