Chapter 6
"What do you think you were doing?" said Sesshomaru said as the dragon landed on the cliffs.
"Just having some fun," Yashana said trying to standing up. "I didn't need anyone to save me."
All of them climbed off the dragon and sat on the rocks. "You got hurt, Yashana," said Kouga. "Please take it easy."
Yashana moved beside Kouga. "But you got hurt even worse because of that big bully," she said. "I'm not even in pain."
"Then why are you holding your side," said Rin.
Yashana was holding her side where Inuyasha had kicked her. It stung whenever she moved to quickly. She moved her hand and saw that it was covered with a little blood. Kouga lifted the side of her shirt and found a wound about the size of his palm cut into Yashana's left side. She cringed as he wrapped the wound with bandages.
"Thank you," she said as she pulled her shirt over the dressings.
"Your welcome," he said.
"Yashana, I want you to stay with the wolves until I return for you," ordered Sesshomaru.
"That's fine with me," said Yashana as a group of wolf demons and wolves appeared.
"Kouga, are you okay?" asked Hakkaku.
"Yes, I'm fine," Kouga said.
"Sister, are you okay?" asked Ginta.
"Sister? Me?" said Yashana. "Just call me Ash."
"We're leaving," said Sesshomaru as he climbed back onto the dragon with Rin and Jaken.
"Good-bye," said Yashana. "And good reddens."
"Ginta, carry Yashana back to my room," said Kouga as he stood up.
"Yes, sir," Ginta said picking up Yashana.
They slowly walked back to the cave. Yashana fell asleep on the long trip back. When she woke, she was in Kouga's room on the bed. Her cloths were folded neatly beside her bag, and she was dressed in a skin shirt and skirt. The wound stung as she tried to sit up, but stopped once she lay back down. The orbs were barely lighting the room, but there was enough light to see what was in the room.
It's so quiet, I wonder if everyone's asleep. Thought Yashana. If it's night then where is Kouga? Why isn't he here with me?
Yashana lifted herself onto her elbows and then into a sitting position. "This hurts so much," she said. "But I need to move or I'll get stiff."
She managed to stand up, but she swayed a little. With each step her side throbbed, but her steps became more stable. Finally, she reached the door. Yashana pushed back the fur cover and peered into the hallway. The main part of the cave was brightly lit, but there were no sounds except for the low murmur of very quiet voices.
Yashana pressed on, leaning against the wall for support as she slowly moved down the hall. Finally, she reached the end of the hall and to her surprise, there was hardly any one left. Actually, there were no wolf demons in the cave, but there were plenty of wolves. Two light gray wolves noticed Yashana and hurried to her side. She leaned against the wall and slid to the floor.
"Hey you guys," she said petting them.
One lay down across her feet and the other lay beside her. "Ouch," she said grabbing her side. "I need to get back to bed. Where is everyone? Are they out hunting?"
One wolf nodded as a pure black wolf with a silver gray mane came trotting over to them. It sat in front of Yashana and just stared at her. The wolf seemed to feel her pain. It stood up quickly and left the cave.
"Where's that wolf going?" she asked as it disappeared through the water. "Oh never mind. Where's Kouga?" she asked trying to stand. "It hurts to much to stand."
Yashana sat there for a few minutes before she heard voices at the front of the cave. The two wolves stood up and looked at the wolf demons that had just entered the cave. They went running towards them so fast that it looked to Yashana like they were just ghosts. Then she heard yelling.
"Yashana," said Kouga as he ran to her side. "What are you doing out of bed?"
"Just walking," she said grabbing her side again. "Ouch. Your arm it's healed already?"
"Yeah," he said. "I don't know how but while we were out hunting it all of a sudden healed. It might have also been from me not using it for a while."
"That's wonderful," she said cringing from the pain.
"Let's get you to bed," he said picking her up. "You should not have tried to walk with an injury like that."
"It's not that bad," she said laying her head on his shoulder. "But it does hurt."
Kouga laid her on the bed and smiled. "You're so beautiful," he said. "Let's check your wound."
He unwrapped her wound and smiled. "It looks much better and it's almost healed," he said. "It's amazing how something heals after a few days huh."
"A few days? But I just got this wound today," she said noticing the confusion on his face and added, "how long have I been asleep?"
"You've been asleep for about four days now," he said. "Don't you feel refreshed?"
"Kind of," she said. "But I'm so tired for some reason."
"We've been treating your wounds with medicine but I don't think that would make you tired," he said. "You woke up a few times but it was only for an hour or less. Enough time for you to eat."
"Well at least that's something even though I don't remember any of it," she said.
"You should sleep until you regain your strength," he said running his hand over her arm. "I'll be back later to check up on you."
"Okay," Yashana said as she closed her eyes and began to dream of her past.
"What do you think you were doing?" said Sesshomaru said as the dragon landed on the cliffs.
"Just having some fun," Yashana said trying to standing up. "I didn't need anyone to save me."
All of them climbed off the dragon and sat on the rocks. "You got hurt, Yashana," said Kouga. "Please take it easy."
