Your Pov
In the end all of you went back to the temple. You were quiet to avoid being seen by spiderheads. Once the wall of the temple was only meters away you stopped to check for any movement around the wall. There was none.
Inuyasha: "I'm going to see if the shards are still there. If not we'll meet back here. While I'm gone I want you girls to go look for the monk. Then come back here. Understood?"
You and Nazuna nod your heads in acknowledgement. Shippo shook nervously behind you.
Shippo: "What am I doing?"
Inuyasha: "You're coming with me."
Shippo made a loud whine before Inuyasha picked him up by the tail and quietly made his way to the wall.
You: "Be careful."
Inuyasha: "Don't worry. We'll be out of here before you know it."
Once he was out of sight you took Nazuna's hand and pulled her a little left of where you had seen Inuyasha disappear. Nazuna lead you down corridor after corridor to where she had last seen her master. Problem was that you had yet to meet a single spiderhead since you had escaped. Nazuna stopped at an open door and yelled:
Nazuna: "He's not here!"
'Damn. Inuyasha!' The man must have been working for the spiderheads all along if he had been able to leave. He must be after the jewel shards which meant Inuyasha was in danger.
You: "Let's go!"
You went back the way you had come, but this time you followed the sound of Shippo's screams of terror. You found another open room, but this time you found the monk. Along with Inuyasha and Shippo. Shippo was on the floor paralyzed by fear. Inuyasha was caught in the spiderhead's massive webbing that resembled something like a hive. The spider, who was actually the monk was laughing wickedly. Inuyasha wasn't moving which meant he must have been paralyzed also. The arrows were still on the ground and you picked one up. You took your aim at the spiderhead.
You: "Hey, ugly!"
He shut his trap and looked over just in time to see you fire. You got his legs, but only stunned him long enough for you to get Inuyasha out of the webs.
Inuyasha: "No, Sorra. Run away. I've been poisoned, I'll just slow down."
You: "Shut up! I'm not leaving you."
Nazuna: "Quickly! In here!"
In another room attached to the main room you saw Nazuna and Shippo with the Tetsusaiga. You carried Inuyasha into the room and slammed the door behind you.
Myoga: "Sorra! Throw the Tetsusaiga into the door. It will create a barrier."
You did exactly as you were told. As the sword pierced the wood you heard a loud anguished cry from the other side of the door.
You: "How long will it hold?"
Myoga: "Not sure."
You heard Inuyasha moan in your arms and then he became your top priority. You took off your jacket to make a makeshift pillow for Inuyasha. When you felt his head the fever was difficult to ignore.
Myoga: "I'll suck out as much of the poison as I can."
You watched him fill up like a blood balloon and roll himself into the corner where Nazuna and Shippo were already resting.
Myoga: "It's up to master Inuyasha now."
This was making you furious. You were absolutely helpless and there was nothing you could do to help Inuyasha. Damn. A cold hand grabbed yours and snapped you out of your thoughts.
Inuyasha: "Sorra...why didn't you run?"
You: "Would you have run if it had been me in there?"
Inuyasha: "Of course not."
You: "Well neither would I."
Inuyasha: "Stupid human."
He was one to talk considering the position he was in, but you weren't going to push it right now.
You: "How do you feel?"
Inuyasha: "Really warm."
You pulled him up to lay his face on your partially exposed shoulder. Compared to him you skin would feel like an ice pack. And just like that he was stretching to reach any part of your cool skin, but he was having a hard time staying there. So you held him there in your arms as he tried going back to sleep.
Inuyasha: "Your skin is soft and it smells good."
You: "Okay."
He must have been delirious from the poison, but you still blushed.
Inuyasha: "I'm serious."
You: "If you say so."
He immediately fell asleep after his last attempt at conversation. As he slept soundly you stayed awake, listening to the screeches and howls coming from the spiderheads throughout the temple. Through the single small window at the top of the room you watched until it began to glow with the light of dawn. You almost collapsed with relief when you thought of how Inuyasha would soon gain his powers back and defeat the spiderheads. Then the room shook and Tetsusaiga fell from the door. The spiderheads had made their move. Another hit on the wall to the outside and the room was crushed by the monk. Shippo and Nazuna were running for a good hiding spot, but the spiderhead caught Shippo, who was hiding half of the hidden jewel shards. Shippo dropped the shards and ran again as the spiderhead ate the rest of them. He next went for you because you still held Inuyasha in your arms, but stopped half way. Around his legs Nazuna was trying to cut him with the Tetsusaiga.
Spiderhead: "What is that supposed to do little girl?"
Nazuna: "Where is my master?"
Spiderhead: "Don't you get it? You master never existed!"
Nazuna: "You Monster!"
The spiderhead knocked her away and the Tetsusaiga flew from your hand to land in front of you and Inuyasha. Inuyasha lightly pushed himself away and picked up the Tetsusaiga. This wasn't missed by the spiderhead either. He grabbed Inuyasha and put him directly in front of his face and the sunrise. You felt your heart rate speed up as you watched in anticipation.
Spiderhead: "Your changing back are you? Well I'll just have to eat you before you do."
He tossed Inuyasha in the air and open his jaws wide like he was playing with his food, but while in midair the transformation took place. And as Inuyasha came down he brought the Tetsusaiga he cut the spiderheads body in half. You found yourself smiling as the sun revealed a half demon Inuyasha, ears and all. Where the spiderhead once was lay about 1/4 of the Shikon jewel.
Inuyasha: "That's really all we have?"
You: "We had more than I would have thought."
You took back the fragment and the rest of your things to place them back in your pack. You hurried to leave and get on the road because seeing how many jewel shards you really had made you want to find more. You felt a little bad for leaving Nazuna, but she was going to be alright.
Nazuna: "Don't worry so much, Sorra. There is another village only a few miles south. I'll stay there."
You: "Alright. If you're sure."
Nazuna: "All of you will be in my prayers. Even you, Inuyasha."
He threw back a lame wave as you continued down river. But because of your lack of sleep you fell asleep on the back of the boat to the rocking motion of the river.
Inuyasha's Pov
You: "Sorra. Sense anything yet?"
No answer. You turned around to find a sleeping Sorra curled up in the back of the boat. Shippo was looking around aimlessly at the scenery. You opened your mouth to tell her to wake up, but Shippo intervened.
Shippo: "She was up all night on guard for spiderheads and she was helping you with your fever."
You remembered what you had said to her and what both of you had done to help the fever. It still made you blush at the thought, but she hadn't mentioned it so you decided to let her off easy.
You: "Fine. She gets another couple hours of sleep before we wake her up."
