Wow, I haven't updated in so long! The reason I haven't is because I have been drawing a lot of artwork for www.deviantart.com. If you would like to check out my artwork, go to http://yamiyugi.deviantart.com. Anyways, I also haven't updated because I have been going through a BIG writer's block, so I apologize if this next chapter isn't as good as the others. I shall try my best! The way the paragraphs might be messed up, but thats only because of the way the document loaded. If it does look weird, I apologize! ^__^;;
Chapter 3: What is Going On?
"Kagome, we must get help from the other villagers. Go and bring them here as quickly as you can!" Kaede commanded. Kagome nodded as she stood up and ran towards the village. Kaede waited impatiently, fearing that Inuyasha would give up at any minute. As much as she loathed him for causing such terror in her village, she couldn't just let him die. "Kagome...you must hurry...," Kaede said quietly to herself in an impatient manner.
Once Kagome finally reached the village, she began to shout for everyone's help. "What is it?" A group of people asked, seeing the look of worry on Kagome's face. Gasping for air, Kagome tried her best to speak, "Inuyasha...is really sick...me and Kaede need your help..." The villagers' eyes grew wide, not believing what Kagome just said. "You really think we're going to help him!?" Fear struck Kagome at that very moment...she needed to save Inuyasha, and she needed them to help her. "Please, you must!" Kagome yelled, tears starting to form in her eyes. The villagers could see how concerned Kagome was, and finally gave in. "I guess we will help you, we cannot disappoint the reincarnation of Lady Kikyo," One of the villager's replied. "Thank you so much!" Kagome shouted, ignoring the annoying part about being called 'The Reincarnation of Lady Kikyo'.
Kagome and the villagers all reached to where Inuyasha and Kaede were. "Finally, you have all made it, we must bring him to my house immediately!" Kaede said forcefully. The villagers kneeled down around Inuyasha, picking him up gentally. Inuyasha screamed in pain as everyone began to move him, causing Kagome to become even more worried. "Please, don't give up, Inuyasha...," Kagome said quietly to herself as she and everyone else quickly walked to Kaede's home.
Once at Kaede's home, the villagers placed Inuyasha on a soft blanket on the floor, and placed a pillow under his head. The villagers stood back as Kaede began to inspect Inuyasha. "What do you think is wrong with him?" A person from the group asked. "I do not know, but this seems to be a very serious illness...." Kaede replied. Tears filled Kagome's eyes as she looked at Inuyasha. Noticing that he was shaking and was in a great amount of pain, Kagome held Inuyasha's hand to sooth him. She cringed at how cold his skin was. It was so cold that it started to make her own hand numb.
Kaede placed her hand on Inuyasha's head. Grabbing a piece of cloth, she handed it to Kagome, "He is burning up...Kagome, please take this to the river and come back as soon as you can." Kagome nodded as she took the cloth. She choked back a sob as she let go of Inuyasha's ice-cold hand. Turning towards the door, Kagome ran out of the house and to the river as fast as she could.
Once reaching the large river, Kagome placed the cloth in the cold and soothing water. As she continued to soak the cloth, Kagome heard rustling from the bushes next to her. She jumped in fear, but continued to stand her groud no matter what. "S-Show yourself!" Kagome shouted nervously. The mysterious figure followed her command as it slowly walked out of the bushes. Kagome's eyes widened at the sight, "K-Kikyo?!"
It was the very soul of Lady Kikyo, her chocolate brown eyes turned to Kagome. "Yes, it is me..." Kagome calmed down, now that she realized that she was safe, "Why are you here, if you don't mind me asking?" Kikyo closed her eyes, "I can sense that Inuyasha is in pain..." Kagome's frowned, "Yes, he is really sick, and no one knows what it is..." Kikyo turned her eyes to Kagome again, "It is an illness that only affects demons...or even half demons. It slowly takes away the host's demonic powers, turning them as weak as a human...or in a half demon's case, turn them back into a human..." Kagome's eyes widened, "So the sickness will turn Inuyasha into a human? But he is already half human, can't he survive? Kikyo shook her head, "He is only half human...without his demon side, his soul will not be complete, and thus he will not be able to survive..." "Is there a cure?" Kagome asked quickly as to not waste time. "There is only one cure...but with a terrible price...," Kikyo responded. "What is it? I'll do anything!" Kagome asked quickly again. Kikyo's gentle expression turned serious, "You must give Inuyasha the Jewel of Four Souls..."
