A/N: Yes! Finally!  I have the computer to myself at the moment and can finally update.   Please do not yell at me for not updating in a while as it has been difficult trying to pry my sister off of the computer.  I kept telling her I had work to do and she wouldn't get off-

Tasha: yeah right…you had the computer to yourself tons of times.  You were just lazy and didn't want to update the fan fiction so your beloved readers could find out what would happen.

Me: -_- that is a lie…do not listen to her…I thought I killed you with the hole puncher?!

Tasha: You? Kill me? HA! I am invincible!

Me: *rolls eyes and shakes head* whatever…on with the fan fiction.

Disclaimer: how many friggin times am I going to have to say this?!  I don't own Inu Yasha and I don't plan to!  *Tasha in background* Then what are all these blue prints for back here?!  *twitch twitch* (me) NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!  *ahem* on with the fic.

Chapter 6: Kagome Faces Near Extinction

            Miroku lifted the unconscious Kagome bridal style and said facing Inu Yasha, "Do you know the way to the village from here?"

            Inu Yasha nodded and headed southeast, knowing the forest like the back of his hand.  Miroku followed and thought, 'You just have to be alright Lady Kagome…you just have to hold on.'

            They soon got to the village and Miroku went up to the hut he remembered to be the village miko's hut.  He knocked and Kaede came to the front to see Miroku standing there holding Kagome and saw Inu Yasha standing behind Miroku.  Her eyes rested upon Kagome and she said, "Aye, how may I help you houshi-sama?"

            "Can you heal this girl Lady Kaede?"

            Kaede blinked for a moment as she took in Kagome's wounds and a grim look came onto her face and she said, "Aye, I will try.  Bring her in."

            Kaede turned and went into the hut with Miroku following carrying the unconscious Kagome.  He set Kagome down and Kaede came over to Kagome's side with bandages, a needle, thread and some herbs.

            Kaede looked up at Miroku and asked, "Could you please leave for the moment houshi-sama?"  "Very well Lady Kaede."

            With that Miroku went outside and saw Inu Yasha sitting a tree not that far off.  Miroku paced back and forth praying to Buddha for Kagome to be alright.

            After Miroku left, Kaede took off Kagome's now bloody shirt so she would be able to heal up the wound.  She used some of the herbs to help lessen the pain and reduce the bleeding.

            Kagome had already lost a lot of blood and soon after Kaede applied the herbs, the bleeding slowed and soon came to a stop.  Kaede then threaded the needle and started to sow up the wound on Kagome's side.

            When she was finished sowing up Kagome's side, she bandaged Kagome from the bottom of her stomach to her armpits and laid her on a blanket towards the back wall and covered her up.  She laid some fresh clothes by her side.  She then stood up and went outside.  Miroku quickly went over to Kaede and asked, "Will she be ok Lady Kaede?"

            "She will be fine houshi-sama.  You may go in by her if you would like."

            Miroku gave a slight nod and quickly walked around Kaede.  He went into her hut and saw where Kagome lay resting.  He went over to her and sat Indian style against the wall nearest to her.
