=============Chapter Thirty-Four =============
"If you care for me that much as to die with me.....then don't. Let me at least die....knowing that you'd be living and happy.......I don't want to die.......not anymore.......but what choice do I have......you won't be able to bring me back....to the hut.......by yourself. Sorry...Kagome"
Kagome lay over his body, trying to keep him warm, as she wept and wept uncontrollably.
InuYasha lay helplessly on the snow, wishing that he could make her stop crying.
"Shhhhh" InuYasha gently touched her cold cheeks that were wet in hot tears.
They held each other silently, Kagome waiting fearfully for the heartbeat she felt against her chest, to fade away. They held each other, knowing that it would be their last moment together. InuYasha held her tightly to him, his heart throbbing in pain...in pain that he would leave Kagome...to the next world where he had thought she would be. But was not.
~Now....We'll be separated......~
Kagome continued to cry....
"Oi !" came a familiar voice.
Kagome shot up, and looked at the group of people coming towards them.
"......SANGO! MIROKU! KILALA! SHIPPO!" Kagome cried in relief as she waved her arms in the air.
"We just got out of the barrier. It took a while for Miroku to detect where you guys were" Sango said, looking at Kagome strangely as was everyone else.
"Wha...WHAT?" Kagome cried. She looked herself up and down. ~Why are they staring at me as if I were some ghost?~
"Later....later" Miroku muttered as he ran over to InuYasha and carried him onto Kilala with the help of Sango.
"Fool" Miroku muttered, looking down at InuYasha in worry. ~This is what happens to infatuated people.......~
****************************
Kaede walked over to the rest.
She looked at them and shook her head,
"He has been out in the cold for hours. He has lost a lot...and I certainly mean a lot of blood..... And all of his wounds are dangerously deep. Now what has InuYasha gotten himself into now?" Kaede asked in a sigh.
"Naraku....." Miroku replied.
Kagome looked at them all in confusion.
"He did not even rest all that night, he was too preoccupied with the kidnap of Kagome. But I see he had saved her" Miroku added.
Kaede nodded her head
"Me?! Kidnapped?!" Kagome cried in surprise, "is it just me, or is everyone losing it?! I was back in my own time!"
Everyone silenced.
Miroku's face turned dark, "you.......ran away to your time? While we had thought you were kidnapped by Naraku?" he asked coolly.
"No! Why would I do that?! InuYasha pushed me down the well and put a barrier on it! He said that he didn't want to see me again....." Kagome cried, choking on her tears, as fresh painful memories flashed into her mind.
Miroku glanced at Kagome, "But.....that cannot be. InuYasha would not have lied to us that you had been taken from Naraku. And that barrier in the village...it was most likely used to keep us away from something. I could have sworn I had sensed Naraku's powers......"
Kagome frowned, "what.....is going on....."
Sango smashed her fist to the ground, "Naraku...that.....asshole....Always trying to ruin other's lives!"
"YAH!" Shippo added.
Miroku turned around, as he held his forehead, trying to think.
~Naraku.....i sensed him for sure. He had to be a part of this mess....InuYasha would not have lied. I saw the sorrow in his face when he had told us that he had lost Kagome again......But Kagome says that InuYasha had pushed her down the well......They were possibly deceived..and Naraku was part of this.....Can it be.....that Naraku had deceived them both in a trap?~ Miroku sighed and continued to think.
~But how did Naraku deceive them.....It feels as if the answer is right under my nose......but I cannot seem to grasp it~
Miroku looked down and saw Shippo counting the leaves that abled Shippo to transform into anything.
"Transform......" Miroku muttered. He frowned, ~Has Naraku shape shifted to make himself look like another? As he had done before, which has caused me to have this cursed hole in my hands. And as he had done to InuYasha 50 years ago.......to make him and Kikyo believe that they had deceived each other........It must be it~
"Kagome..." Miroku muttered, "InuYasha couldn't have betrayed you. InuYasha had gone out, sensing Naraku's presence....And Naraku must have shape shifted again....as he had done long ago"
Kagome tightly closed her eyes, as guilt and pain washed through her.
~InuYasha......never did betray me. How much do I love him.....to believe that that monster had been InuYasha. How weak is my love for him.....that I had thought that those cold eyes that had bared into my heart had been InuYasha? While I was deciding on what to believe.....InuYasha had been out looking for me....worrying. And now look at him.....it's all my fault~ Kagome tearfully thought.
****************************
It was early dawn. The hut was cold, even though a big fire had been made They all watched InuYasha lying unconscious, breathing in small breathes, as each time he tried to breath it seemed as if he were in great pain.
Blood continued to soak bandages after bandages. Every now and then, they would see InuYasha start to excessively cough, as blood would streak down his lips and Kagome would gently wipe it off.
Miroku touched InuYasha's forehead.
"This place is not warm enough for InuYasha" Miroku muttered.
"I agree with you Miroku-sama" Kaede added.
"Houshi-sama, what are we to do?" Sango asked in a whisper.
Miroku looked over at Kagome, "Kagome-sama, why do you not bring InuYasha back to your world when he is in a movable state? Your place is warmer and I'm sure it is more advanced in the medicines"
Kagome nodded as she sat down and gazed down at InuYasha.
Miroku sighed, "We'll go and buy some more herbs for InuYasha. Kagome you stay here. Lady Kaede, please show us what herbs would be needed"
They all quietly left the hut.
Kagome looked down at InuYasha. His chest was barley seeable, all covered in bloody bandages. His restless expression seemed to have gentled a bit by the sunlight. Kagome moved a strand of his silver hair away from his face.
Kagome started to gently remove the bloody bandages to exchange them to the new clean ones. Kagome felt her mind get dizzy as she looked down at the fleshy deep wound on his chest.
Kagome carefully wrapped it around his wounds. He had been unconscious for the whole time. A tear glimmered down Kagome's cheeks, as more started dribble down. She felt so cold and empty without InuYasha. She feared that he wouldn't last long.
*****Flashback*****
Kagome warmly smiled, "you're alive, I thought you weren't"
"Just leave me here" he muttered.
"Wha- what?! I can't do that! You'll die here!" Kagome cried.
"You...won't be able to bring me back.......you'll freeze to death....trying"
"No, no, no! I'm not leaving you here, you baka! I'll die trying!" Kagome cried.
"All.......i wanted was to see you smile.......before I...."
"Don't say it! You won't die!" Kagome cried.
"Please...be.....happy"
*****End of Flashback*****
Kagome furiously shook her head, as tears glimmered of her cheeks,
"No....no InuYasha..you can't die" she quietly cried.
Kagome suddenly felt InuYasha's hand gently touching her cheeks. She gasped and looked down to see InuYasha unfocusedly looking up at her.
*"Naku na...." he quietly asked, looking at the tears that were streaming down her cheeks. He gently wiped her tears away. Kagome held InuYasha's hand to her face, as she continued to sob.
"I.....thought....you would die" Kagome cried.
~I can't die now....now that I know you're here~ InuYasha thought as he looked up at her, as he felt his heart tighten, seeing her sad face.
"I was scared....InuYasha.....So scared" Kagome whispered, as she tightly held his hands to her cheeks.
InuYasha closed his eyes, ~ I was scared too....Kagome. Those few hours without you.....was truly worse than hell~
*****Flashback*****
Suddenly InuYasha heard a thud. InuYasha saw the snow in front of him slowly turning red. His heart froze, as he slowly turned around. Kagome hung on the tree with a daggers pierced into her heart, one in her stomach and another through her neck. Her face was pale and lifeless with blood dripping down her lips. The blood poured down from her wound as in soaked into the white snow.
*****End of Flashback*****
~I can't get that picture out of my mind.....I was so scared Kagome, that you were dead. But im so glad that.....it wasn't you. I don't know what I would have done if I had lost you......~ InuYasha felt the fresh pain of what he had felt when he had seen her dead on that tree. ~I really don't know what I would have done......~
Kagome felt herself being pulled down, where she was tightly held in his arms.
"I don't ever want to lose you again.....never" InuYasha quietly spoke in a strained voice.
Kagome rested her head on his bare chest, as tears soaked his bandage,
"I won't leave you InuYasha....I'll always stay with you" Kagome whispered.
*"Wah gad da....." InuYasha whispered.
Kikyo stood, looking secretively through the window, looking painfully down at Kagome resting her head on InuYasha' s bare chest, as he held her closely.
Kikyo tightly shut her eyes as a bitter, cold tear dropped down her cheeks. "InuYasha.....so you don't want her to leave you ever......then what about me.......is she.....that much to you.....that you have already forgot about me"
Kikyo turned and walked away. "Of course.....why would you love me now......i am just a mere dead corpse....you loved the Kikyo...that is no more..that has faded away....no.....but, even your love for her was shallow as well....that you so easily hated her"
"All I wanted....was for you to.....love me. But now, even that....is too much to ask for"
****************************
Kagome still had her head peacefully resting on InuYasha's chest, as she listened to the sound of his heat beat.
~I hope this heart beat....will continue to beat......along with mine. Don't fade away from my hearing.......please......keep on beating~ Kagome prayed as she looked at the bandage on his chest, her eyes blurry with tears.
She could feel InuYasha' s thumb stroking her wet cheeks, to calm her down. Kagome closed her eyes, she felt so at peace.
"I wish.....time would freeze....so that we can stay like this forever" InuYasha whispered.
Kagome's heart beated fast, she could feel her face flushed.
"So......that I can feel that you didn't leave me" he said, his thoughts far away.
~But.....time won't freeze....it'll move on...once you see the one you love......Kikyo~ Kagome sadly thought. ~But.....I wont ask for anymore....than for you to live......and be happy~
Kagome clutched InuYasha shoulder,
"You won't leave me, will you?! You'll live....right?" Kagome suddenly asked, in a tearful voice.
"Hai......I'll always be by your side......as you have been be mine"
Kagome closed her eyes and sadly smiled, "Wah gad da.....wah gad da" ~Would you even stay by my side.......when you see Kikyo again?~
Kagome frowned, realizing that InuYasha was wounded and would have trouble breathing with her head resting his wounded chest. Kagome lifted her head,
"Sorry.....you probably are in pain" she whispered.
But InuYasha held onto her, "don't leave me......"
**~~ This chapter.....was a little too social......how was the fluff? I have some more coming up....i think o_O. Dunno, I haven't writtin the next chapter yet. Tell me how you like the mushiness so that I know I can actually write a bit of fluff. I wonder.....how will this love triangle end? Who will InuYasha chose to stay with? Well......gave the answer out many times -_- Inu/Kagome. Poor Kagome, Poor InuYasha.....*sigh* fine, and poor Kikyo. I rlly have no affection for Kikyo. But....she was once a good girl. So.....she'll have some goodness in her still in my fic. Dat makes the love triangle even more suspensing......^^ KK, really hope you guys will review.

"Sorry.....you probably are in pain" she whispered.
