Chapter 5

Seeing the deep wound on her left shoulder made Sango wince and tears formed in her eyes. "Kagome are you alright?", she questioned. Kagome nodded slightly before starting to feel dizzy. Then, darkness overwhelmed her as she fell unconscious.

Standing up, Sango had no choice but to leave Kagome laying. She had to defeat the youkai. Picking up her boomerang she turned around to face the demon, and was surprised to find that it wasn't there. Glancing around for the youkai her eyes fell on Kagome. She was bleeding badly and she needed to get her to Kaede fast. Suddenly, the pair of red eyes appeared, right behind the unconscious miko lying on the ground.

A claw lunged at Kagome and Sango panicked. "Hiraikotsu!", Sango hurled her boomerang at the demon again. The boomerang went right through it, but the youkai seemed unaffected. "Nani? It's still alive!", Sango cried out. "Kagome!", Sango yelled out as the youkai rose to it feet again. Suddenly, a bright yellow light came from behind the youkai. Sango squinted her eyes to see what it was. "Kaze no Kize!", a familiar voice cried out as the Tetsusaiga ripped through the demon, slicing it in half.

Sango sighed in relief and ran to Inuyasha. "Gomen, we would have both died if you hadn't come", Sango took her mask off, noticing that the miasma was not there anymore. "What happened to her?", Inuyasha questioned in a serious tone while picking up Kagome and placing her on his back. "She took a hit from that youkai you defeated", she explained to him while picking up the shikon fragments up from the floor before the youkai could reform its body again.

All of a sudden Inuyasha's ears perked up and he looked up into the sky. "They're back", Inuyasha said coolly as Kirara landed on the ground with Miroku and Shippou on her back. "What happened here?", Miroku looked at all the blood and demon remains on the ground. We'll explain later, I've got to get Kagome back to the village now", Inuyasha shouted and ran off. Miroku, Sango and Shippou followed behind him on top of Kirara.

The next morning, Kagome woke up from a sharp pain in her shoulder. Looking around, she noticed that she was in a Kaede's hut on a small futon in the corner. Her shoulder hurt and it was bandaged tightly. She looked around the room to see Miroku and Sango curled up together in the other corner of the room with Shippou and Kirara next to them. She glanced around again, checking if Inuyasha was inside the hut, but he wasn't there.

Using her right arm as a support, she slowly stood up and walked outside, careful not to wake anybody. The sun was already high up in the sky so Kagome figured in was around noon. It was a warm day and Kagome walked down the path. 'I wonder where Inuyasha went.', she thought to herself and continued walking. "What are you doing out of bed?", a familiar voice called out from above her. Looking up, she saw Inuyasha sitting on the tree branch above her.

He jumped down and gave her a worried look. "How is it?", he questioned her and glanced at her wound. "It's fine, It doesn't hurt anymore", she said. "You're lying", he looked up at her, "I can smell you blood.that's a serious wound". "I'm sorry, I didn't want you to worry", Kagome looked down at the ground. Inuyasha stepped forward and pulled Kagome into a light hug so it didn't hurt her. "You know that whatever you do, I'll still worry", he chuckled. Kagome smiled and kissed Inuyasha on the cheek. "Thank you", she said in a cheerful voice and took his hand. Together they walked back to the hut, hand in hand.
