" You're right, I'm just another human, but I don't like to bother others with my problems." She said in a weak voice. She then fell to one knee and her fist was on the ground trying to support her. She rose her head and looked at him and said in a very faint voice " I'm sorry…I…I…didn't want to bo..ther..you… with me." She fell to the cold ground and passed out as her blood started to soak the ground.
Inuyasha picked her up off the ground and covered his nose. Her blood was unusually strong scented. He jumped back up to Kaede's hut and set her down.
" Is she ok?" Kagome
" Well, she isn't dead if that's what you mean." Inuyasha said uncaringly. ' Sorry Kagome' he thought ' I don't want to hint my feelings to you or anyone else.'
Kagome ignored that remark. " Sango can you quickly grab my bag?" she asked " And Miroku, can you get a blanket?"
"Here Kagome." Both Miroku and Sango said.
Kagome put the blanket under her and Kagome grabbed her first-aid kit out of her bag. She handed Sango the scissors and asked, " Will you to cut of the top of her kimono off because the blood has soaked through to the point it is stuck to her."
" Yeah." She answered hesitantly. " Will you guys leave?" Inuyasha still had his sleeve over his nose.
" Yeah, sorry." Miroku answered with a little bit of disappointment in his voice.
Not too much of the blood was in the room. Kaede brought her remedy over and put them on the girl's wounds. Then Kagome and Sango wrapped bandages over her battered body so that the remedies fumes would heal them faster and stop the bleeding. They placed a blanket over her and could only hope for the best.
Kagome looked down at her blood soaked hands then at the girl " I hope she'll be ok."
Sango opened the door to where the boys were and said they could come back inside. Miroku walked towards the door followed by Inuyasha and Shippo. Inuyasha still had his sleeve over his nose.
" Ick! Ahh…what's that smell? It burns my nose!" Shippo yelled backing back towards the door.
" It's her blood." Inuyasha said in a hesitant voice.
" What do you mean, her blood?" Kagome asked
" Is she not human?" Sango questioned
" I noticed the smell earlier. She said she was human, when I was talking to her." Inuyasha said acting like it was nothing. "I'm going to be in my tree…so leave me alone!" Inuyasha yelled as he walked out the door. Acting like a high school teenager.
Shippo was still holding his nose, form the burning smell filling his nose. " Kagome, it burns my nose too!" he said with his hand covering his nose and he ran out the door.
Miroku walked towards Kagome. " Will she be ok?" he asked.
" I don't know." She said, in disappointment as she looked down at her hands and then at the ground. Miroku opened his mouth to speak, but decided not to.
Sango broke the silence " I know that it is late, but will you accompany me in a trip to the hot springs?" she said trying to sound positive.
"Yeah, I'd thought you'd never ask!" Miroku said deviously
" Not you hentai!" Sango yelled
" You sure?" Miroku said as he raised his hand up her leg.
*SMACK* " Stupid monk…" Sango said rolling her eyes a little bit. Miroku was on the floor, kind of twitching.
Kagome giggled, " Yeah, I'll go Sango." Kagome said as she shook her head at Miroku.
Miroku got up as the girls were getting ready to leave. He looked at the injured girl lying there.
" Oh and Miroku," Sango started " Don't get any ideas while we're gone!" as she glanced at the girl lying on the floor. " Kaede will be here and keep and eye on you." Sango said as her and Kagome headed out the door.
Miroku looked at her. ' She is so beautiful.' He thought. ' I wonder who she is? And what her name might be?' he pondered ' Heh, I wish she would bare my child.' He smirked.
Inuyasha was in his tree. He looked across the glistening field and saw Kagome and Sango head towards the hot springs. He stared off to the moon. He started ponder his thoughts again. ' Who is she? I've seen her from somewhere, but where? It wasn't recent; I know that, but her eyes. I remember looking in them before.
Miroku had drifted off to sleep and so had Lady Kaede. The girl slowly opened her eyes and looked around and remembered what had happened.
~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~
" You're right, I'm just another human, but I don't like to bother others with my problems." She said in a weak voice. She then fell to one knee and her fist was on the ground trying to support her. She rose her head and looked at him and said in a very faint voice " I'm sorry…I…I…didn't want to bo..ther..you… with me."
~~~~~~~End of Flashback~~~~~~~
' And that's all I can remember.' She thought. "Mmm" she moaned being very quiet so that she wouldn't make too much noise. She tried to stand up ' Ow! Oh…god….mother…. ow!' she thought trying not to scream it. She looked down at her bandages and new kimono. She smirked ' Aren't they nice.' She thought sarcastically, but then she got a little more serious. ' Why do they care about someone when they don't even know?' she just sat there and thought. She picked up her sword and snuck out the door no making the slightest noise. She still had cuts and bruises covering her mangled body, she still had a limp in her walk, but at least the bleeding had stopped. She looked back and whispered ' Thanks.' She turned back around and headed out the door.
She walked out the door and saw the hanyou in a tree near the house. He fortunately was asleep. She walked past slowly trying not to wake him. Shippo was on the lowest branch of the tree. So that Inuyasha would be around. She looked across towards the forest. She saw a small path; she went towards it.
Kagome and Sango finished up their bath and headed back toward the hut. Once they reached the house, they walked in quietly trying not to wake anyone up. But, when she looked down, she didn't see the girl. Kagome screamed!!
" Miroku…where did she go?!?!" she said frantically
" Huh… what?" Miroku said as he was as he rubbed his eyes like a little child.
" She's gone!!!" Kagome yelled!
" What, but how? I… she…was so hurt and I should of heard her leave." Miroku said in a confused voice.
Inuyasha was in his tree. When he breathed in, he started to cough. " Agh…what? That smell, her blood, it's close." He said as he was waking up. He could smell her from the forest. He jumped down to follow the horrid scent, but when he looked ahead he saw Kagome running desperately, he followed her instead.
Kagome ran out of the house faster that Sango could keep up. Kagome continued to run, almost as though she knew where she was. Sango decided not to follow her into the dark depths of the forest. Sango knew she would be ok when she saw Inuyasha jump down to follow her.
Inuyasha and Kagome were both running into the dangerous forest.
Inuyasha caught up with Kagome easily and said " Why are you going out here alone? You could get hurt!"
"I'm sorry." She said while she was out of breath. " I didn't mean to worry you. It's just when I got home, she was gone."
"I know." He said, " I just recently caught a whiff of her blood poisoning the air."
" We must follow her than!" Kagome said in a brunt voice.
" She left for a reason Kagome." He told her; trying to reason with her.
" I don't care! If she is truly human, than there is no way her wounds healed in a couple of hours!" she said.
Inuyasha just looked at her face was so caring, yet worried. She seemed so loving and strong. She cared for someone she doesn't even know her name. " Fine." He finally said.
She looked a little surprised at him, at how he didn't fight back at her rebellion. She smiled. " Thank you Inunyasha." She leaned up towards him and gave him a small kiss on the cheek. She smiled once again and said " Lets get going Inuyasha. " She ran towards the forest.
Inuyasha just stood there for a second in disbelief ' Did she just kiss me?' He thought ' Could she…?' He finally snapped back into reality and ran forward to catch up with her.
