Awaken To Love - Chapter 3

------

"I hope I bought enough ramen, Inuyasha's appetite suer has increased lately!" Kagome said while throwing her over-packed bag over the side of the well and climbing out. 'Hmm..it's really quiet. That's odd. Inuyasha's usually here waiting for me, yelling about being late. I hope everything's okay..' she thought while walking towards the village. 'I hope everything's okay..'

Kagome walked into Kaede's hut and saw Inuyasha. She stared at him and then ran over to him. "Inuyasha! Are you okay? What happened?" "Kagome!" Miroku, Sango, and Shippo cried. They ran over to her. They had been in the village collecting stuff.

'Kagome?' Inuyasha thought. 'You came back...'

Miroku and Sango told Kagome how they found him and how there is no evidence that he was attacked. "So..he's..sleeping?" Kagome asked. "Apparently. But we don't know how to wake him!" Sango replied. Kagome was in shock. She was worried and afraid. 'What if he never wakes up?' She started to cry. Sango tried to comfort her, she hated to see the girl she considered to be her sister sad. "Kagome, please try to calm down. Inuyasha will be fine. I promise. We will find a way to fix all of this." Kagome sat beside Inuyasha. She ran a finger across his ear and then down his cheek. 'Inuyasha..please wake up..please..I need you..'

Inuyasha felt Kagome near him. 'This is really weird,' he thought, 'I can't see anything but darkness, I can't move, but I can feel her presence and I can hear..barely. Am I dying? Oh God..I hope not. I don't want to leave Kagome alone..and sad..' Inuyasha also felt something else..'She's crying! I hate it when she cries! Especially because of me. Kagome! Please stop crying! Please! Don't cry because of me! I'm fine! Please stop crying!..Please..'

Kagome never left Inuyasha's side unless she absolutely had to. Miroku and Sango had to leave. There were some rumors about some demons in the near villages. They decided to take Shippo with them, to try and train the little fox in battle. Well, that was one reason, the other reason was to get him away from Kagome. They knew she wanted to be alone right now. She was too worried about Inuyasha.

"Bye guys! Take care!" yelled Kagome while waving to Miroku, Sango, and Shippo. She started to walk back into the hut when she remembered something Miroku had said before he left. 'Kagome, I heard that a pack of wolves has been roaming around the village lately. I suspect that it is Kouga's pack. So please be careful. If you need help, the villagers will gladly help you...' It played through her mind. What if Kouga showed up while Inuyasha was..asleep? She shook her head to clear her thoughts. "I'm not going to worry about that right now. I have to take care of Inuyasha." She walked back into the hut to settle down for the night.

That night Kagome was awaken by whimpering. She looked at Inuyasha and noticed he was sweating. She felt of his forehead. 'Oh no, he has a fever!" Kagome ran outside to get some cold water. On her way down to the stream, she noticed a luminescent orb beside the stream. Kagome put down the bucket and walked over towards it. The orb morphed into an amazing female demon. But not just any demon. A tiger demon. She was radiant! She stood 6 feet and wore a beautiful white gown that flowed down past her ankles. Kagome noticed her eyes. They were a bright green and sparkled in the moonlight.

Kagome couldn't believe what she was seeing.'Should I run? No..wait..I can't move! I feel like I'm in some sort of..trance..' Kagome tried to say something but before she could open her mouth, the lady demon spoke..
