Chapter 12

Kagome silently watched. Hojo had turned back to face Inuyasha and suffer his wrath. 'No.' Kagome thought.

"Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha halted. His gave re-directed into Kagome's direction. His eyes started to soften and his gaze was slowly turning into...loving? 'No..' she thought, '...It couldn't be...'

She shook her head. She worry about that later.

"Inuyasha. Leave...leave him.." It was so hard for her to tell Inuyasha to leave Hojo alone. She was still angry from what that face did to her, yet she knew it wasn't Hojo she hated. It was Katashi. Katashi took over his body, his mind, she could at least stop him from taking over his life.

"Leave him alone." She quetly said. She looked down. Kagome couldn't meet his gaze. But everything was so quiet, she didn't know what he was doing, so she looked up. Inuyasha was still looking at her, but not with confusion like she expected. It was relaxed, almost like relieved he had found her...

...but that couldn't be true...not with Inuyasha...could it?...

It seemed when he looked at Hojo he was surprised he was there, like he had forgotten about him. How? He looked back and his eyes returned to their normal, beautiful golden color. She noticed the way he looked at her turned to one filled with worry. 'Why?' Kagome stood up and brushed off the dirt on her, and noticed she was bleeding. 'Oh...'

Inuyasha, completely ignoring the man he was about to strangle, hurried over to where Kagome was...she knew he was going to rant about how she had gotten herself into this mess, and she hurt herself, and she would slow the shard hunt...

She too waited for Inuyasha to do something to her. Her ears intently listened for his voice to raise and tell her how dumb she had acted. maybe even tell her she was stupid to love him since he didn't love her.

That too never came.

Instead, Kagome kept her head down and tried to cover her wrists that, cut by the bound rope, had started to bleed. Her attempt was futile, for when Inuyasha reached her, he grabbed her upper arms, careful of not touching her bloodied wrists, and tilted her head upwards, forcing her to look directly at him. She gulped.

She saw, instead of anger or an annoyed expression...she saw an expression of concern.

"Are...are you alright?"

Kagome looked down and he pulled back her shirt to reveal her bloodied wrists. "I...uh...yea I'll be fine.."

What he didn't know was that her wrists weren't was was really hurting her. It was something else. Her head was killing her, and it made her feel sick to her stomach. Katashi had cracked her upside the head when it took her too long to start a fire, earlier. She placed her palm on the back of her head and felt something wet. She was really feeling dizzy. She looked up into those concered eyes of his.

"Kagome...your not o.k...I'm ... I'm taking you to Kaede...you need to heal your wounds and -" He stopped when he saw Kagome pull back her hand from the back of her head and saw the amount of blood on her hands.

"Inuyasha..." She whispered as she passed out from the amount of blood loss.


Inuyasha cursed himself. How could he let her get into this kind of trouble? Just then Kagome passed out into his lap. "Kagome.." he breathed. He didn't care about that Hojo kid over there. Yeah, he did notice the change. But his full-demon side didn't care. he hurt his Kagome and as far as he know, he wasn't going to live with hurting her. But when he looked at Kagome, seeing how weak her body appeared, yet how strong her determination was, he couldn't tear his eyes off of her.

He gathered her in his arms and lept up into the nearset tree branch. Without even looking behind himself, he spoke. "I'll be back to finish what I strated."

Then he vanished into the tree lines and the clearing behind him began to blurr until it was far away enough to not be able to be seen. Inuyasha lept through the trees as fast as he could.

He wasn't going to lose her a second time. Not when he had her in his arms.

He wouldn't let that happen.

Inuyasha neared the village. he could smell Kaede, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo nearby. 'Shippo must have told them what he saw...'

He lept off the last branch and ran towards the hut. He hurried through the doorway and laid Kagome down onto a mat.

"Inuyasha? What happened? " asked Sango. Worry was definately shown in her eyes. "What is wrong with Lady Kagome?" Miroku asked.

Inuyasha ignored them both. He could answer them later. Kagome needed him now.

"Kaede, she needs her wounds tended too. She has lost a lot of blood." He tilted her head ever so gently, showing the how the blood matted against her dark hair.

Kaede looked at Inuyasha. He could tell that she knew he was deeply concered for Kagome's well-being. He didn't care. All that mattered was that Kagome get better.

"Well, Inuyasha. Lady Kagome has quite the amount of blood. I'll need this whole hut to myslel. Ye must wait outside. The others too."

Inuyasha nodded, and reluctantly left Kagome's side. He herded the other ouside the hut, and with one last glance, he looked back to Kagome's limp form. Inside his head, he replied to what Kagome had told him earlier in the night.

'I love you too.'

He turned back and left the hut in silence.


Kaede looked over at the limp girl. 'Poor Kagome. Inuyasha looked so devastated. What hapenend?...' she thought. She shook her head. She knew it wasn't good. She remembered Shippo rushing in and telling them about Kagome and aothe man going into the forrest, hearing Kagome scream, and Inuyasha rushing forward for her. It didn't sound right. Her coming from the well with someone other than Inuyasha? She didn't think that was possible. 'I thought your time was safe, Kagome.' She mixed a few herbs she had with her and crushed them and added other things until the mixture was like a paste. 'I know you, Kagome. Ye would have never left with another man willingly. Ye may not know it, but I know the feelings for Inuyasha ye harbor. I know he returns the same affection as well.'

She tended to Kagome's wound at the back of her head, and even applied special ointments to ber wrists and ankles.

'Ye will make it throught this battle, Lady Kagome...'

And then Kagome stirred, but did not awaken.

'...But it will take time. A lot of time.'

She went towards the door and found the hanyou sitting right beside the door, waiting impatiently. He looked up to ask for approval for entry.

"Aye, Inuyasha. You may see her now."
