Needing Her
Inu Yasha woke late the next morning to hear someone walking around wherever he was. He sniffed the air and realized he was in Kaede's hut.
"Kagome?" He called out hoping it was her.
"Ah, Inu Yasha, you're awake!" Came Kaede's elderly voice.
"How long have I bee sleeping?" He sat up rubbing his eyes.
"Only a day. Do you wish for me to get Kagome?"
"Yeah."
Moments later he heard another person walk in and sit by his side. He could smell the sweet scent rest in the air around him. He smirked as he figured out immediately who it was.
"Kagome." He whispered.
"How do you feel?" her voice had a hint of worry.
"Fine, but could we get a fire or something in here?" he seemed a little annoyed.
"What? Why?"
"It's so dark I can't even see anything that's why!"
"Inu.Yasha?"
"What?!"
"It's perfectly bright out. It's late morning. Can't you see the sun?"
"Wha.?" Inu Yasha's face turned as white as paper and he lifted his hands to his eyes. He touched his eyelids to make sure they were open, they were. 'Am I.blind?!' Slowly he took his hands from his face and looked in the direction he had heard Kagome's voice.
Kagome gasped when he turned to look at her. His eyes seemed to be looking at her but were strangely unfocused and glazed over.
"Kaede!" She screamed out the door.
A moment later everyone was standing in the hut around Inu Yasha and Kagome.
"What is it child?!" Kaede asked as she saw there was no danger.
"It's Inu Yasha! He can't see!"
Kaede kneeled down in front of Inu Yasha and waved a candle in front of his face. Feeling the heat he backed away a little. Kaede sighed as she took the candle away from his face.
"It must be the venom. I will go to the creatures body and collect some of the poison and see if I cannot make an antidote. Miroku, Sango, will you join me?"
"Of course lady Kaede." Sango looked back at Inu Yasha who had been silent the entire time, she grabbed the whimpering Shippou, then she hurried off after the monk and priestess leaving Kagome and Inu Yasha by themselves.
"Kagome?"
"I'm right here Inu Yasha." She put her hand on his making him flinch a little at the unexpected touch. "Oh god. I can't believe this!" She reached up to his face but caught herself before she touched him.
"I-I don't know." He hit the floor with a closed fist making a small crater in the ground.
"Inu Yasha." Once again she reached for his shoulder only this time he grabbed her wrist lightly as he felt her small hand touch him. He let her wrist fall to the ground as he backed away into a corner and pulled his knees up to his chest.
"Kagome?" his voice was a little shaky as he whispered her name. Kagome hadn't heard him but sat next to his side, making sure to make a little noise as to not scare him. It worked because Inu Yasha's ear's followed her every step.
"Kaede will find a cure and your eyes will be back to normal in no time." She tried to sound cheery but it obviously didn't work. Inu Yasha just sat there with his arms wrapped around his knees staring at nothing.
"Go back to you time Kagome." He mumbled into his haori.
"What?! No way! I have to stay here and help protect the village and find the Shikon shards with you!" Kagome latched onto his arm squeezing it so hard the blood was being cut off and his arm was turning really unnatural colours.
"Kagome, I can barely keep you safe when my eyes are perfect, how can I when I've lost one of my senses?!" This he said harsh but in a caring way.
"I'll go back.but under one condition." If he could see he would see a sad smile creep across her face.
"And what's that?" He felt Kagome move around a little bit but snuggle back into his side of warmth.
