Chapter 2: Hewoo? Hewooo?


'Just what was wrong with him? Going out without Tessaiga! Inu Yasha could be dense sometimes, but *this*?' Sango pondered while looking for the dog demon.


"I've found him!" Miroku snapped her from her thoughts. There was a slight tremor in his voice, something that told her to get to them as fast as she could. She wondered slightly what Inu Yasha had gotten himself into now. But all of her thoughts stopped when she came to the tree where Inu Yasha lay. She felt her stomach churn at all the blood...'Kagome can't see this!' She quickly looked around for her. 'I don't think she could handle it. Shippo! I have to get them both away from here.'


"Miroku, we can't let Kagome see him...like this..." Sango voiced her thoughts.

"You're right. But can we keep her away?" The young monk said. Miroku looked at his fallen comrade and kneeled down beside him. "Inu Yasha? Inu Yasha, can you hear me?" He gently squeezed the half demon's shoulder.


------------


Inu Yasha's senses were of no good to him...they were gone. He couldn't hear, nor see, nor smell,...nor feel. He was simply there. Wait...he could feel...something. He could still feel It...it was still pushing it's way through his systems, still killing his body. Inu Yasha knew this was the end. He would never again get to smell the sweet fragrence of Kagome's perfume or the comfort in just being around her. He'd never get to tell her that he loved her. No. No, he wouldn't let himself get like that. He'll make it....

Inu Yasha felt a slight pressure on his shoulder.

"Inu ..? ...-sha an hea me?" A voice! It sounded like he was underwater...he felt like he was underwater...drowning....Another squeeze on his shoulder. He wanted so badly to call out, to tell them he was ok...sorta. Maybe...maybe, just maybe...but did he have enough strength to do so? Inu Yasha thought of his friends...of Kagome, waiting, worried. Yes...he mustered all the power he had, and some of what he didn't.

"...he...wooo..." Ack. He hadn't ment to sound so...childish, but at least he could make a sound, and even 'hewoo' would do for now.


----------


Kagome still wondered about the forest. Just as she was to call out for Inu Yasha, someone called out her name.

"Kagome!" It was Sango. She appeared from behind a tree. "Kagome! This way," She motioned for Kagome to follow. "We've found him."

Kagome was smiling the whole way she ran to Sango, but it began to fade and she saw the grave look upon Sango's face.

"What's wrong? It's Inu Yasha...what's wrong with him?" Kagome soon became frantic.


-----------


Miroku was caught off guard to hear a broken mumble emit from Inu Yasha. He was just about to pick up the dog demon when he heard a sound coming from Inu.

"..he..wooo..." 'Hewoo? What?' Miroku raised an eybrow. He had instructed Sango to go find Kagome and Shippo and take them back to camp. This was nothing for them to see. Miroku carefully slipped his arms around Inu Yasha trying his hardest not to jostle him too much. This was going to be a looong night. Miroku hoped it was only a night...
