Alright...to answer another set of questions that came about in my reviews for the last chapter...

1.) I got that say from my movie "The Cat in The Hat" now I know what you're all thinking... "what am I doing watching such a kiddy movie"...but that movie is so frickin funny! And 2.)...well I guess you'll have to find out... ;) and I have good news! My dad has almost recovered from his crisis thanks to my grandma...whoever thought that nagging would come in handy!

Chapter 22:

Recap: Then I centered all of my energy into my hands and I create fire balls. And as I was about to raise my arm and give her the roasting of a lifetime someone interrupted me.

"Kagome! Drop the fire NOW!" he demanded.

"Sorry buddy but I ain't takin orders right now"

"If you don't quit it right now I swear I'll-" Souta (a.k.a Mr. Mystery man) threatened.

"-what? Take away my t.v. and put me in the time out corner? Look pal, you ain't my mom...and just because you're older than me doesn't mean you're stronger than me" I said sending him an icy glare.

"Fine...I just wanted to know in advance to pack your bags then...I'm thinkin' you can move somewhere colder...like Alaska...or Michigan...or maybe I can just take the Fire Temptress away for a bit..." he said casually.

"You wouldn't dare..." I hissed.

"Try me" he said arrogantly.

"You suck" I said glaring at him before allowing the fire in my hands to blow out.

"Ooh. Big tough Kagome being bossed around by her boyfriend...now what could my Yashie-bear see in you, if you can't even stand up to your own boyfriend?" Hitomi said jumping in. I have just about had it with this stupid bitchy prep! Not only had she totally gotten everything mixed up...but on top f that...MY CHEEK WAS STILL STINGING! And so instead I walked over to her and punched her in the face and she fell to the ground. The entire class cheered for me.

"You little bitch! I swear to god I'm gonna make you pay for that one! Now you're dead!" she screeched holding her face.

"I wish you would" said narrowing my eyes at her.

"I think that is enough for today children. I think the decision was unanimous-" Keade began.

"-Kagome wins this spar due to knock out!" Miroku

"As if! I still got enough in me to whip her ass!"

"Miss Hitomi. The fight is over with. Now get on to your classes before I give you ALL detention." Keade yelled. It was perfect timing if you ask me...because...even though I didn't want to show it...that poison had taken effect and was making my head extremely fuzzy. Although nobody could tell...I couldn't see anything less that 10 feet away from me...and considering that I'm half demon and my senses are about ten time as good as a humans...that's pretty bad and ontop of that... my left arm had suddenly become numb... but of course, I couldn't let them see it so I put on my best act and ignored all the poison and pain starting to rush through my body.

"Bye!" I said waving happily at them. She glared at me as best she could as her jaw started to swell. Rather creepy if you ask me...

"Well...now that you've finally come to your senses...I 'm gonna go and file your "doctor's orders" about keeping you inside when it's over 85 degrees" Souta said beginning to walk away.

"If you say anything...to anyone about what just happened...I swear I'll-" I started. But then the poison finally got into my blood stream and I passed out and onto the ground.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled running to her.

"My word! What has happened?" Keade asked concerned.

"Oh god! She's dead isn't she!" Sango cried.

"No... she's not dead." Miroku said after checking her pulse.

"We need to get her to a hospital...and quick" Souta directed.

"I'll carry her" Inuyasha said reaching for her. As soon as her tried to touch her his hand was burned.

"Damn it...she's already being effected by the poison."

" What's happening?"

"She's getting a fever...this is one of the many things that happens when you control the element of

fire... when you get a fever your body actually and literally feels like it's on fire"

"Well then how are we gonna move her?" Miroku asked.

"Here, take my coat. It's resistant to the heat"

"A wise choice Inuyasha. Using the robe of the fire-rat to carry her in" Keade said nodding. Then they wrapped her up in the coat and carried her into the nurse's office.

After dropping Kagome off at the nurses, they all waited outside for any word on her condition. Then, after a few moments, the nurse came back out again with information.

"Well how is she?" Inuyasha asked jumping out of his seat.

"Due to the large claw marks on her face, the girl was injected with Shinsoku poison (made up), it's a combination of the strongest scorpion poison and acid. Her body is trying to repair itself, only focusing her demon blood on taking care of the acid so the scorpion poison is being ignored. She has also fractured and sprained her left arm." she explained.

"Well can you fix it?" he asked worried.

"The poison has gotten too severe for me to cure...although I have already taken the liberty of calling an ambulance to come right away.

"This is all my fault...if only I got here sooner..." Souta said bowing his head.

"Twas no one's fault...twas only a mistake..." Keade said resting a hand on his shoulder.

"The ambulance is here" Sango said walking in.

"Were gonna need someone to ride with her to make sure she's alright." the driver instructed.

"Let Inuyasha go...if she wakes up later, he'll be able to calm her down the best..."

"But-" he started.

"Go on...my sister needs you...we'll be on our way shortly. As Inuyasha got into the truck, he could see that all of the children had made their way to a window, watching as Kagome left. But you couldn't miss the smirk that Hitomi had on her face at that moment. At the sight of this, Inuyasha began to growl but he stopped when he Heard Kagome murmuring in her sleep.

"Someday...I'll tell you everything...about me...but I can't...because...because of him..."

"Shh...it's okay Kagome...I'm here..." he said brushing some hair out of her face.

'Just hang on a while longer...'

Boy did this chapter take a long time! Sorry for letting you wait so long...I was taken hostage and forced against my will to go away with my father...again...
