Hi Hi
Yes yes I know I'm bad sorry for taking for long to update I didn't mean it really I didn't u.u. Today was my last official day of summer classes except for my final that I have to take next week. So I came home and wrote. Since I don't have to go back till September I'm going to update more regularly. Hehehe I even already started my next chapter of Waking Up beside you if anybody's reading that if you haven't checked it out give it a try.
Thanks for being patient and thanks to the people that reviewed because I love them.
I don't own Inu Yasha
Echoe Shayne ^.^
In the blink of an eye Inu Yasha covered the distance between the door and the bed. Leaning over he gathered Kagome into his arms, it was only then that he heard a sharp intake of breath that was followed by raspier ones. Relief filling him he sat there holding her for a few more seconds just reassure himself that she was still alive. Turning his head he looked up at the older woman who was standing beside the bed watching him.
"Inu Yasha move so I can examine Kagome." The older woman said in a serious tone. Kagomes appearance was frightening her skin was pail and her breathing was coming short harsh gasps. When they had first arrived Inu Yasha had rushed across the room and lifted her up it was only then that she had heard Kagome's ragged breathing which lead her to believe that when they had arrived the young miko hadn't been breathing. All the symptoms only lead to one conclusion and she didn't like it.
"Have you taken her to a Dr. in this time?"
"Yes I did but they said that they could do anything for her."
At this Kaede bowed her head taking the younger woman's hand in her own startled by how warm the skin under her fingers was. So even in her time they hadn't found a cure.
"Did they say that she has yhem?"
Yhem he had head that before and the mention of it made him stiffen, he had heard about the disease, it was fatal. He knew they had been placed under quarantine because the disease was contagious. That it was a serious matter but he had thought that it was something that they just couldn't treat at the time, he never though that it was something deadly. More like he hadn't even wanted to consider that it was deadly.
"What can you do for her?" he asked still sitting on the bed looking down at Kagome.
The sound of his voice made Kaede's heart ach. It made her wish that she had a different answer to give him then the one that she had but she didn't.. "There's nothing I can do for her you just have to wait."
All he could do was wait? That was it, just sit here want wait to see if she lived or died. No Kagome couldn't die she wouldn't die from something like this. Looking down at her he refused to believe anything else.
Kaede watched his face. Was there something that she could do? She wasn't skilled enough but she knew someone that might be able to help. 'Her sister.'
"Inu Yasha"
Looking away from Kagome to the older woman he frowned.
"Find my sister. If anyone can do anything for her she can."
"Kikyo." The word rolled off his tongue as he stood his gaze still lingering on Kagome she appeared to be asleep. Oblivious to the fact that anyone else was in even in the room with her. "I'll be back then. Can you watch her while I'm gone?" he waited till Kaede nodded before he turned and left.
"Inu Yasha, the last I heard my sister was taking care of people in a shrine about 50 miles north of my village."
_______________
Kaede reached forward putting her hand to Kagomes forehead if she had thought that her hand had been warm her forehead was on fire. She wished there was something that she could do for the girl but there was nothing aside from making sure that she was comfortable.
Marveled by the small room she sat on the springy bed amazed at how soft it was. So this was Kagome's time. It was different then she thought it would be. She guessed that no matter what Kagome said about it she could never really prepare them for what it was like. Looking around she wanted to go explore but also she didn't want to leave the younger woman's side. In the end despite her curiosity, her concern for Kagome won out and she kept her seat on the cushi bed. 'Yhem' this was serious. Closing her eyes she reached her hand out like she had before putting it to Kagomes forehead.
"Hurry Inu Yasha."
_____________
'Kikyo' her sent hung in the air and he knew that he was getting closer. This thought pushed him on making his pick up his speed, he had to hurry. 'Kagome' how could something like this happen? Pausing on the edge of a clearing he saw her she was standing in the mist of men, her head turned in his direction. She knew that he was there. He could tell by the look on her face. Not wanting to waste time but also not wanting the men that were around her to be alarmed he walked half ran into the clearing pausing as the edge of the men noticing that a few of them had reached for their weapons, it was Kikyo that put them at ease with a wave of her hand.
"What are you doing here Inu Yasha?"
"I came to talk to you."
"Not here." She didn't want to talk to him in front of these men though they had stilled themselves they she knew that they didn't trust him.
Frowning he followed Kikyo into the edge of the woods. He wanted to tell her to hurry up, but knew if he did then she would only make more of a point to go slower. He couldn't put up with that not now, not when Kagome was laying helpless in bed. Kikyo was looking at him with the same stoic expression that she always wore.
"I need your help."
"Imagine that you need my help."
'Imagine that you need my help.' Her words were infuriating. Clenching his hand into a fist he bit his bottom lip so that he wouldn't fly off the handle at her. "It's not me, Kagome." his words died in his throat
It was odd seeing Inu Yasha like this she had never seen him so full of emotion before so open. And she knew right then that she had lost she had lost to this slip of a girl. Then again this was Inu Yasha and she could get him to do what ever she wanted weather he knew it or not. Despite how she felt she wasn't ready to give him up not to that woman not to someone like her. Taking a step forward she wrapped her arms around his waist burying her face in his chest.
"I."
What the hell was going on? After a few seconds he returned the embrace pulling her deeper into his arms. He had missed this he had missed her. But at the same time he was ashamed Kagome was sick and she needed his help and he was hugging someone else.
Having accomplished her goal she looked up at him taking in his dazed expression.
"Kikyo." Closing his eyes he steadied himself.
"What is it Inu Yasha?"
"Kagome's sick."
"What does that have to do with me?"
Hearing her answer he backed up releasing her from his grasp. Studying her face he couldn't believe it how could she be so eager to help people that she didn't even know, but so unwilling to help to help someone else. What had Kagome ever done to her? Nothing that was the answer, Kagome had never done anything to the woman that was standing in front of him now.
"What has she done to you?"
Looking down at his clothes he took in the sight of the black school uniform that he was still wearing. It must have looked strange, even more so to someone that had never seen this type of clothing.
"Don't change the subject?" Inu Yasha snarled unable to control himself.
By the tone of his voice she knew not to push him anymore.
"What wrong with her?"
"She has something called Yhem." The expression on her face changed turning from the expressionless mask that she wore to something that almost resembled sadness or maybe it was pity. It told him one thing that coming here had been for nothing she wasn't going to help.
She had been wrong. She had thought she lost him. She had thought he had run here because his dear little Kagome had the sniffles and he wanted someone to take care of her. Yhem was a touchy disease but she knew one thing and taking in Inu Yasha expression she knew he knew it too.
Inu Yasha watched as her expression changed and he knew. He didn't know what he felt at that moment. Something between anger and sorrow like he was being ripped apart, it felt like his heart was breaking. Turning his back on her he couldn't look at her anymore. Then he felt pressure against his back. Kikyo was standing next to him her body pressed against him.
"You should end it."
'You should end it.' He wanted to take a step forward but he couldn't move his feet had taken root and he would never be able to move again. Maybe not it just felt that way. 'what was she saying?'
"It will be better there's nothing I can do for her. There's nothing anyone can do for her, the least you can do it see to it that she doesn't suffer very long."
"I can't do that."
"How long has she been sick? It starts out like a cold. Then it gets worse fainting spells periods where she stops breathing, loss of apatite. Then the next week things start to look better she has normal periods where you can't even believe that she's sick but she has lapses. Finally she gets sick like before only this time. One time she's closes her eyes it will be fore the last time."
He could do nothing only stand there and listen to her as she spoke. The trueness of her words plaguing him. He couldn't do it though, He couldn't do what she wanted not to Kagome. Not to his Kagome.
"You could end it all now. Do you really want her to suffer?"
"I don't want her to suffer. The sadness left his voice only to be replaced with anger. " this is Kagome she won't give up!" He shouted more to convince him self then to convince her.
He has such faith in her. Faith that she won't die. How can he? "Take this." Reaching into the folds of her hakama her hand closed around a small object. Holding it out in his view she motioned for him to take it.
"what's that?" There was a small object resting in her hand it was looked like rock with a light blue tint to it. The rock almost glowed from within, it set his senses on edge and he knew that it was something more that just a rock.
"It's for you when you change your mind. It will hold her soul till you can get it back to me. But don't let her suffer to long or her soul will become damaged"
Ripping the small object from her grasp Inu Yasha turned his eyes blazing at the woman before him not want to believe that she had just said what she did.
"What the hell do you think your doing!?"
"She's going to die anyway. If you bring me my soul back I can live again." His eyes softened a little at those words seeing it as a good sign she continued. "You could have me Inu Yasha."
"I can't do that to her. I'll never do that to her!" The words escaped his throat in a low growl and he began slowly backing away.
"let her suffer it's nothing to me."
"Your right it's nothing to you."
____________-
Kagome opened her eyes waiting for them to focus she could make out the form of someone sitting on her bed but she knew it wasn't Inu Yasha. Slowly Kaede came into focus. There was a expression on her face that she would never forget and she knew. There was nothing they could do for her not in this time, not in that time. Tears pooled in her eyes and she tried to hold them back, it was useless the hot tears made their way down her cheeks and she lunged her body forward into Kaede's arms.
"I want my mom."
"It's better if no one is around you. It catching."
"I know but that doesn't mean that I can't still not want her." Her eyes widening she leaned over taking the potable phone off her night stand and dialing the number where her mother was supposed to be. Counting the rings she just sat there after the twelfth one it became painfully obvious that no one was going to answer clicking the phone off she sobbed into folds of Kaede's gi.
Hearing the door opened Kaede looked up to see Inu Yasha standing there in the frame. Their eyes met and he shook his head. Looking down at he girl in her arms she frowned it wasn't fair. it wasn't fair why this girl?
"Kaede I'm going to take you back I need to be alone with Kagome."
Nodding the older woman understood. Prying herself from the arms that were around her she stood and headed for the door. Only when they were outside did she feel free talk.
"What can she do?"
"Nothing she said Kagome will die."
He sounded different when he said that. Unlike his brash self his tone was mature like he had grown up more in the short time that he had been away.
"I'm sorry."
"You don't have anything to be sorry for."
_______________
Kagome looked up as Inu Yasha came back in the room. He just stood there for a few seconds watching her the next thing she knew she was in his arms. Her body pressed firmly against him. The tears came again and this time she didn't try to hold them back. She was dying and Inu Yasha knew it.
