Inuyasha was running as fast as he could to get back to kaedes village. Miroku, shippo and sango were following close behind on kilala. Kagome was still limp within his arms, the only hope the others had that she was still alive was the way inuyasha was still sane and protecting her fiercely. He was keeping himself from turning demon by the barest of threads. His mate was so still in his arms, his demon side roaring for revenge. He pushed it aside, saying to it, help mate first. Then revenge. he looked down at her again, ttrying to see if anything had changed. She was still so pale and weak looking. She looked so small and fragile, her baby bump more noticable than it had been. He felt a pang of fear run through him for their pup as well. Maybe kaede could tell if it was okay. If not, he would take her to her time to see if anyone there could help. He would be damned if he lost them both now. He knew if he lost them, he would finally give into his demon sides rage and take revenge before destroying himself to join them.
Sango and miroku held hands, trying to soothe the sobbing shippo between them. Sango hugged him and ruffled his hair as kagome would often do for him. Miroku looked after inuyashas running figure, his worry evident on his face. He could just imagine their roles being reversed, with him about to lose sango and trying desperately to save her. He looked over at sango, about to talk to her but she shook her head and answered his unasked question. "I will stay at kaedes, miroku. I dont want you to worry about losing me like we might lose kagome. But please, if anything happens, come get me." Miroku nodded, relaxing slightly as he turned back to watch inuyasha once again. He felt so sorry for him. He didn't know what he would do if he lost sango and their child. He prayed to kami that they would both be alright as they approached the village.
