Hello, friends! Thanks to all of you wonderful reviewers, I have been inspired to create Chapter Two!! You guys are so GREAT!!! It brings a tear to my eyes. **sigh** Sorry for the short chappy yesterday. I was so tired from class. But here you go, fresh from my mind to your eyes: chapter 2!
DISCLAIMER: This is getting depressing. I do not own Inuyasha or any other of the great Lady Rumiko's characters.
~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha began to feel life in his fingertips. His sense of smell was shot and his eyes burned. But his hand was slowly gaining feeling. A foot also began to tingle with existence, no longer burning or numb, but warm. Inuyasha's ear began to twitch at a voice. A voice so sweet, and so familiar. 'Ka...gome...'
Kagome had been talking to Inuyasha, hoping he would hear her and yell at her for waking him up as he always did. She had never wanted to be called a "stupid girl" so bad in all of her life like she did now. "Inuyasha, why did you have to run off like that?" Kagome had been spending the better part of the night asking questions, more so to herself than anyone else. There was no one to talk to but herself. Sango and Miroku were trying to find an antidote to the poison with Kaede. There was rumor that a villager was nearly killed by a similar poison down the road, being saved by some herb Kaede did not possess. Shippou stayed behind to help Kagome, but the pup had fallen asleep an hour ago. Now Kagome was left all alone with her thoughts. She began to whimper as tears rolled down her face. She picked up Inuyasha's hand and rubbed it between her own, trying to calm herself. But as she smoothed her palm over the rough flesh, Inuyasha squeezed her hand.
"Kagome... please... don't cry," the hanyou whispered painfully. Kagome nearly had a heart attack.
"Inuyasha!" she cried, "Inuyasha, are you okay?"
"..."
"Inuyasha, you're burning up again! Stay awake! You need some fluids in you," Kagome said as she reached for the cup of tea Kaede told to give Inuyasha if he woke up. "Come on, drink," she said, propping up his head with her arm. Inuyasha cracked his eyes open a peek to see Kagome bringing a cup to his lips. He forced down the bitter substance as Kagome stared at him fretfully. He noticed her tear-stained expression as she watched him swallow.
"There. That should help. Are you hurting?" Kagome asked as she unconsciously placed his head in her lap. Inuyasha was barely aware of his surroundings. He had no idea where he was. Then he remembered: the neko's sister, blue powder, burning, laughing. He shot up, looking bewildered, and headed for the door, when he became dizzy. His head spun, his lungs burned with each deep breath he was taking, and he was falling. He collapsed cursing himself for being so weak. Kagome was shouting at him and he didn't even realize it.
"Inuyasha! Calm down! That poison will kill you if you keep exerting yourself," Kagome was at his side, holding on to his arm. "Please, lay back down," She pleaded.
"I have...to... find her," Inuyasha gasped. He was trying to run but his legs ignored. He had never felt so weak and helpless, even in his human form. He wanted to tear that neko limb from limb, but he could barely see straight. He collapsed again trying to stand. The burning had returned full force as he roared in pain. Inuyasha was sweating heavily and loosing strength. He started to get up again, but an arm around his waist stopped him. It was Miroku. He, Sango, and Kaede had just gotten back, greeted by a roar as they walked in.
"Inuyasha, lay down," Miroku said calmly.
"Let GO!" growled Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, ye must lie still," warned Kaede. Inuyasha was not listening at all. "We have to get him calm," said Kaede, looking at Kagome. Kagome stepped in front of Inuyasha and cupped his face in her hand. "Please, Inuyasha," she pleaded, "Let us help you!" She stroked his head with her free hand, much like she did Shippou when he was sad. Inuyasha stared into Kagome's eyes, breathing heavily. She looked so worried-for him? His shoulders slumped as he fell back on his rear, locking his gaze with Kagome's. This girl baffled him. She yelled and cried and sat him kami knows how many times, and yet, he was drawn to her. He would fight Naraku in his pathetic human form, just to see her smiling at him. This girl was his reason for going on. She healed his broken heart. His mind filled with wonder as he stared at Kagome as if she just sprouted wings.
Kaede had her herbs to make an antidote. Inuyasha had fallen asleep from the exertion earlier and Kagome finally tried to rest against a wall to get some sleep, herself. Sango and Miroku were just settling down when Sango felt a presence nearby.
"What is it, Sango?" Miroku yawned.
"I thought I sensed something, but it's gone now," she replied, tired from the day's "excitement". She settled down by the fire, as Miroku inched closer to her.
"Back off, houshi," Sango snarled. Miroku skulked back over to his corner. He stayed awake, watching Sango. There was a softness in his eyes as he watched the rhythmic rise and fall of her breathing. His thoughts were interrupted as Kaede stood up.
"Are you finished, already?" Miroku asked.
"I be," she said tiredly. "Help me give this to Inuyasha."
Miroku held the hanyou up as Kaede poured the elixir into his mouth. Inuyasha would be fine by morning.

A lone, lithe figure stood perched in a tree, staring at her sister's murderer take the medicine. 'That lousy hafling bastard... If I can't kill his body, I'll just have to kill his heart...' She eyed the strange girl with intent as she waited for the rest to fall asleep. She stealthily sprinted from her hiding spot into the hut. Without a sound, she stepped over sleeping bodies until she was in front of the girl, sleeping soundly. 'You will come with me...'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
So how was it? I found a story about Inu-chan being poisoned and the girl thought I was copying her, so I'm gonna change the story line a bit. Hope ya don't mind! R&R pleeeze!
