Chapter 8 ~~~~~*
Kagome sighed leaning against a tree in exhaustion. She flopped to the ground still weary of the moist humid atmosphere. She was sweating heavily, her hair was now dry with brown clumps of mud scattered through her tangled, damp at the roots, hair. Her legs felt as if 50-pound sand bags were tied to each one and her eyelids felt as if they were going to shut and never open again. She was so tired and noxious.
"eermm.. I can't take this anymore.. I've been going on in the same direction for hours and still no castle or Inu Yasha." Kagome whispered to herself. She sighed and bumped her head against the tree, small bushels dry mud tumbled down her shoulders and to her shoulders. Kagome reached her hand up slowly and brushed them off.
" Please find me Inu Yasha. Please, please, please find me.. Take me away, I want to go home." Kagome rubbed her balled fist against her eye to clear her tears. She hadn't seen Sesshoumaru since she rushed off to get away. She doubted he didn't come looking for her, he was probably hiding and watching her right now.
She allowed herself to chuckle. She figured he was watching her just incase anything happened. Kagome looked down at her legs, she noticed the bottom half of her kimono had been ripped off and bits and pieces of it elsewhere were gone too. No wonder legs were so cut up.
Scrapes and gashes covered her skin everywhere. They stung and made her wish she could just lay down and sleep, she wished that she could just be healed and everything would be better.
Sesshoumaru peered over the tree branch. His eyes wondering this way and that, searching for Kagome. He last saw her when she stomped off into the forest leaving him against the mud. Three hours he had been searching, three whole hours. The forest wasn't that big. He could find her so much easier if he soared around. But he didn't want to attract any attention to Kagome or Inu Yasha.
Sesshoumaru cursed himself for not following her earlier. And if Inu Yasha found her first then, then his plan or what ever he had in store would be ruined. All through the next hour Sesshoumaru couldn't get Kagome out of his thoughts.
"Damn human. Why do I care? Just leave her be. This could be torture to her and when Inu Yasha finds her dead torture to him too." Sesshoumaru caught himself saying when his hand got smashed under a rock that collapsed on his hand when he was searching the caves.
" Knowing her she probably exhausted by now. Laying hopelessly, vulnerable." He said sighing and keeping up his search. Did he pass her? That's not possible. He would have noticed her. Fed up with searching he still kept going.
" I wonder, though, I wonder how badly she's hurt. All alone, she has no way to defend herself. Maybe she's. no. She's not dead." Sesshoumaru whispered to himself speeding up.
Kagome laid her head against her shoulder to rest. She didn't want to get caught off guard but she was so tired and helpless at the moment. So many rock and thorn covered plants in the forest she felt a lot and got herself all scratched up. Kagome closed her eyes and rested without falling asleep. Right now she wished anyone would find her. Well, anyone including Inu Yasha or Sesshoumaru.
~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~
Inu Yasha flopped to the ground sniffing out Kagome. Miroku and Sango were upon Kirara ready to follow Inu Yasha at any moment. Inu Yasha sniffed everywhere on the road only picking up a small scent Kagome left behind.
Finally Inu Yasha stood and patted himself off. "Right now I think it'd be better if we spread out and search." Inu Yasha stated," plus we'd be able to cover more ground. I can't get much of a scent. And Sesshoumaru seems, from what I've picked up, no where around here either."
"Alright then. Sango and I will search up high and you search down low. You get what I mean right?"
" Of course. All right Miroku, Sango you search over the forest. I get the forest floor. If you run into Sesshoumaru. Well I don't know what you should do. But stay hidden don't be to noticeable." Inu Yasha said and with that he rushed off to find Kagome.
Sango and Miroku nodded to that and Kirara zoomed up in the air. Sango looked down still able to see Inu Yasha soaring through the trees she urged Kirara farther.
"Miroku, can you see anything?" Sango asked guiding Kirara.
"No nothing but trees and forest. She is going to be hard to find if she's hidden. She probably got the idea she shouldn't attract attention." Miroku said over the sound of the wind.
"Well if that's what she did we are going to have some trouble."
"I just hope we don't run into Sesshoumaru. Same with Inu Yasha." Miroku said squinting.
"I think Inu Yasha wants to see Sesshoumaru.. Revenge Hoshi, Revenge." Sango said chuckling.
"Right.." Miroku said.
Kirara quickly dashed along the breeze keeping her eye out for Kagome. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~****~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inu Yasha was anxious to find Kagome. He hoped Sesshoumaru had not done anything to her. 'Sesshoumaru wouldn't, would he? No he wouldn't' Inu Yasha thought jumping from tree branch to tree branch. Sesshoumaru had been acting weird. Inu Yasha still couldn't figure out why. He had always been a quiet, don't talk much, demon. He never cared for women or humans for that matter. The human he ever cared about before was, Rin.
Inu Yasha sighed, all of this puzzled him. He hoped he'd find Kagome soon before it got late, in the nighttime it got really cold. If Kagome were still in the woods she'd freeze. Unless Sesshoumaru warmed her. Inu Yasha shivered at the thought. Kagome wouldn't! She'd go off by herself if she had to.
Running along the forest floor Inu Yasha spotted an orange piece of cloth stretched against a bush limb. He held it up and sniffed it, "Kagome!" He held the piece of cloth and ran toward the new smell he'd found. It was Kagome's scent for sure and if more pieces of cloth were around it'd be hers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome began to nibble on a plant she'd found. Kaeda had told her about these plants. Kaeda told her of all edible plants you could eat if you ever got lost. It had no taste really, just a weed. It was soft and chewy. 'Like Lettuce.' Kagome thought. She smiled and ate her small weed pretending it to be something she liked, like egg rolls, or rice cakes, no wait white rice and shrimp!! Kagome sighed. And she had to face that she was hungry. She didn't want to believe it because she probably couldn't find anything that would satisfy her. She hadn't eaten it at least 4 hours. Something, anything!!
She flopped against the tree stump again. She thought maybe if she just sat there someone would find her! Suddenly there was a rustle in the bushes. " Sesshoumaru?" Kagome managed to squeak. A red mass shot across her face and darted back toward her. "Inu Yasha?!" Kagome screeched. Before the red mass was a blur but now she saw, not Inu Yasha or Sesshoumaru, but a very large demon.
It had horns and big yellow eyes and fangs!! It was ugly! Kagome arose to her feet slowly and began to try to climb up or to the other side of the tree. "Please, please, please go away. Go away." Kagome said quietly. Suddenly she paused and looked up. She was starring into big yellow eyes. The demon! Kagome screamed and fell off the trunk with a plop!
She hustled to her feet and back away for the demon. The demon swung at her with its tail missing when Kagome launched herself to the side. "Inu Yasha!" Kagome screamed at the top of her lungs. The demon leapt to Kagome's back, scratching and biting. Was he going to eat her?
Kagome wrestled trying to get free but the demons claws jarred her wrists and ankles into the ground. "Inu Yasha!" Kagome screamed again. 'What am I doing? Inu Yasha 's probably not even here. But that means, Sesshoumaru.'
"Sesshoumaru!!!" Kagome screamed as loud as she could hoping he'd hear her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~****************
Unfortunately they both heard her. They were running her way, Sesshoumaru in the lead because he was closer. Sesshoumaru dashed to the cause of the scream as soon as the sound waves hit his ear. He had to get there before Inu Yasha, he had a feeling Inu Yasha had heard it too.
Inu Yasha was charging to Kagome he knew she was in trouble. ' Did I hear her call out Sesshoumaru 's name as well? What could be wrong.' Inu Yasha thought as he hastily dodged rocks and branches.
As soon as Sesshoumaru reached Kagome she pulled her head up to look at him and the demon trying to eat her looked up too. The look on his face soon changed when he saw Sesshoumaru. He shot up and ran away but Sesshoumaru still caught him. And used his acid claw on him. The demon squirmed for a while until Sesshoumaru threw him against another tree. He looked down at Kagome, "Are you alright?"
Kagome felt a sudden urge and ran up to hug Sesshoumaru. He kept his face still. "What was that for!?" a voice behind Kagome, said.
Kagome thinking Sesshoumaru had said it she replied quickly, " you saved me!! I thought I was going to die!! But you saved me!!" Kagome began to cry on Sesshoumaru 's chest. Sesshoumaru smiled a crooked smile, " Hello. Dear Brother."
Kagome perked her head up, "Inu Yasha!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* That's it for that chapter!! I hope you like it!! I'm going to update more often I promise!! Only a few chapters left!!
