I'm back at the computer! Yea! I wrote the next cuple of chapters, but they
won't go up 'till I see some reviews, so please tell me what you're
thinking folks!
Disclaimer: Straight out- I don't own anything except Omega. She's mine, so leave her alone! Oh yeah, and the plot too.
The effects of whatever Kouga had used to knock her out did not go away as soon as Kagome had woken up. She fell back asleep not long after Omega had introduced herself. When she woke up once more, she was by herself. A moment later, the makeshift curtains were pushed aside and Kouga walked in.
"What were you thinking?" she shouted as soon as she saw him. "Don't smile at me! I ought to slap that smug grin right off your face!"
Kouga was momentarily stunned. Kagome had never talked like this before. She must have been hanging out with the stupid Inuyasha too much. Thank goodness he had gotten her away before it could get any worse.
Putting on a concerned face, he put up a hand to stem the flow of angry words. "I'm sorry Kagome, but I didn't want you to be hurt. I figured it would be better if you didn't see."
"What are you talking about?" Kagome asked nervously.
"I know you'll never believe me, so let me show you." He scooped her up, but for once she wasn't screaming in his ear. She didn't even realize they were traveling at near lighting speed through the forest. She was too busy going over all the awful possibilities. What could be so bad even Kouga didn't want her to see?
'Please doesn't let them be dead. Please don't let them be dead.' She silently prayed over and over with her eyes squeezed shut and her jaw clenched.
"Oof," she grunted as Kouga came to an abrupt stop. He gestured for her to be silent. She watched as he pushed aside the branches of the leafy bush in front of them. She glanced through the gap and bit her lip.
Inuyasha was standing there with Kikyo, beneath a large tree. She listened with all her might. She couldn't get every single word, but enough to understand.
".the hole in the monk's hand had become uncontrollable." Kagome listened as Kikyo laid out the tail of her friend's demise. She tasted the blood in her mouth and realized she'd bit her lip so hard it was bleeding. Trying to regain her composure, she turned back to the conversation, but it seemed to be already over. Instead, all she heard was "Alright Kikyo. It's just us now. Let's go."
Kagome stared. Then she rose shakily to her feet and started to walk away. Tears streamed down her face, blinding her as she began to pick up speed. She just wanted to get away from what she'd seen.
'I mean, I knew he loved Kikyo,' Kagome thought miserably, 'but he didn't even come find me, or-or see if I was hurt. I was kidnapped after all.'
"Kagome!" She heard Kouga shout, as she stumbled and fell to the ground. He rushed up. "Are you ok?"
"Ow." Kagome winced. "Sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going. I think I twisted my ankle." She tried to stand, but it hurt way too badly. "Oh man! I think it might be broken. I can't walk."
Kouga picked her up very carefully and carried her back to the cave. 'I think I hate that waterfall.' She thought to herself as they re-entered, now soaked to the bone.
She was put down in the small room in the back once more. Kouga knelt beside her and looked as though he was about to say something. At that moment, another wolf demon poked his head in, gesturing frantically for Kouga to come back into the main cave for a minute.
Kouga stood and followed him. A moment later, Omega walked into the room, holding a long strip of cloth. She bowed to Kagome then silently knelt down and began to wrap Kagome's ankle with practiced ease.
Omega's fingers were gentle and Kagome wondered where she'd learned to do it so well, but still, it did hurt. She winced just as Kouga came back into the room. He took one look at her face then put a foot to Omega's back and kicked her away to the side. "I told you to make sure you didn't hurt her," he growled.
* * * * So, how was it? It's not really a cliffhanger, so count your blessings! And review. For crying out loud, it's not that hard!
