Hello everyone..*454* Reviews! Thank you all so much.
First and foremost, I'd like to apologize for the long wait..I am aware that I said I would update..Its just that so many things popped up in the summer, school started and well, ^_^ I'm still trying to get used to all this. Like I said, I tried in the summer, but things didn't exactly look up for me in summer..Problems kept coming up...Also, I tried extremely hard to think of something too, but I had a HUGE writers block that lasted a month or so.Yes, a month...longer than that even...
Thank you all so much for being so patient and hanging in there. Please forgive me for not updating..I tried, I really did..
At the end of this chapter, there will be more author notes, answers to questions, etc...
I really do hope you enjoy this chapter.It took a while...Please review, I beg of you...As you can see, it has taken me a while to update.

The undersized room became quiet; the wails of the tiny cub silenced them all. Sango looked on confused nudging Miroku on his side to see if he had any idea as to why the child was crying.
Miroku shrugged at her and looked at the cub pitifully. 'Shippo..Whatever it is you're hiding from us...It must be...It must be something bad..' He thought grimly.
Kagome's face softened and she moved to sit next to the little fox. She smiled at him faintly and put her arms around the sobbing child in a motherly way.
"Shippo...whatever it is you're crying about..It's ok..You can talk to me about anything...You can talk to Miroku..Sango..any of us..Don't ever doubt that..." She whispered.
The kitsune didn't listen. He merely thrust his hands onto his eyes whimpering. His tears grew more and more intense by the second.
'I wonder if it has anything to do with Kagome..He always worries when it comes to her....Inuyasha too...' Sango thought. 'Or..maybe something to do with all of us..'
Kagome kept quiet. She knew Shippo was hurting because of something.She just didn't know what that something was.
'Everyone needs time to say these things...' Kagome thought. 'I can't even tell Inuyasha how I feel...It must be harder on poor Shippo...'
Kaede sat there quiet as could be. The look on her face was unreadable. 'Ye should be all worrying about Inuyasha..I fear that time is not on his side..And even if he does make it...I have a feeling something even worse is going to happen.' She thought grimly as the only the sounds of a child weeping were heard.
***********
"Inuyasha..Inuyasha!! Wake up!! Wake up!!" Sota yelled frantically shaking the half demon. Inuyasha hadn't said a word. He just laid there looking like he was in a deep sleep; unfortunately one Sota feared was the kind people never woke up from.
'Come on dog-brother you gotta pull through this!' Sota thought to himself. 'Kagome needs you!'
"WAKE UP!! WAKE UP!! Don't die!!"
Sota became more anxious by the second. What'll happen to Kagome? What about their adventure?
What if....Inuyasha never did wake up?
**********
The day seemed to pass by quickly in the feudal era. Shippo had eventually stopped his tears but he never spoke a word. His eyes were bloodshot from all the tears he spilled and tiny hands were trembling. Kagome looked down at the parched wooden floor worrying about Inuyasha.
She pictured him suffering back at her world waiting for someone to help him. She grimaced at the thought. She never wanted Inuyasha to go through anything like that. But she couldn't do anything...if she could..she would've took all his pain, even if it meant her own life.
She sat wrapping her arms around her knees and curled to her chest. She stared outside the door and tried to think of something positive. '.Inuyasha can't be..dying could he?' She thought burying her face in her arms letting out a soft whimper.
"He's not gonna die...He's not gonna die.." She chanted rocking back and forth.
Sango looked at her best friend; anxiety creeping into the features of her face. She tensed up and sighed. 'Please be alright Inuyasha...for your sake..for our sake..for...for Kagome's sake...'
She suddenly felt something behind her and she sighed almost exasperated. 'Not now Miroku, I'm not in the mood for your perverted quirks.' She moved her hand toward Hiraikotsu ready to swap at him. The monk threw his hands up in a protective manner.
"I'm not* doing anything." He said quietly. Sango glared at him. "Miroku I'm not in any mood for your---"
"Sango I know.." He whispered putting his arm around her. Sango stiffened and turned bright red.
"Miroku..." She seethed, motioning towards Hiraikotsu, thinking it was another perverted trick of his.
"..Sango..I know when its time to be serious." He said quietly with a hint of hurt in his voice.
Sango looked down as if ashamed. "I'm sorry.I just..I'm worried...for Kagome and Inuyasha's sake.."
Miroku nodded in agreement and looked at the slayer. "I understand...I feel the same.." He said quietly, "But..I..I..," He lowered in voice, "I don't think this is the best time to say this...but I..that is...I..."
"Mi.roku? What is it?"
".I..I..love...we have to help..k-keep.Inuyasha and Kagome to.together." He stuttered, changing the subject. "I don't know about you..but..Fate doesn't seem to be on our side...its worse..for Inuyasha and Kagome.." He whispered not able to bring himself to tell her he cared for her.
***
Kagome looked over at Sango and Miroku and smiled faintly. Sango now had her head on Miroku's shoulder, her eyes were closed and her face was as red as Inuyasha's kimono. Miroku sat there contentedly smiling to himself and pulling Sango closer to him.
'I'm surprised he's not pulling anything perverted..' Kagome thought smiling. 'They..They're a great couple...I ho-hope they stay together.' She thought with mixed emotions of sadness and happiness. The couple reminded her of Inuyasha, a reason in which she didn't know why.
'Why are they reminding me of Inuyasha..? Its not like..He even cares about...' She cut off her thought when an image of Inuyasha popped into her mind.
*Flashback*
Kagome sighed. "You met up with Kikyo, right?"
"I----"
"You had a talk with her...and...you...." She trailed off and started to look down at the floor.
"Kagome it's not like---"
"What happened to you? I've never seen you this tired. Never."
"It's nothing------"
"Tell me what happened!" She yelled.
*End Flashback*
Kagome sighed. 'Why..Why does all this happen to me?' She thought as more images of Inuyasha and her popped into her mind.
*Flashback*
Kagome seated herself on a chair and sighed. "Please..."
"It's okay."
"I understand. You don't trust me."
"Kagome, I DO TRUST YOU."
"Then WHY don't you tell me?!"
"I don't want you to worry!" He yelled back.
*End Flashback*
She sighed heavily and began thinking about what she would do if Inuyasha didn't make it. Would they just continue on their search for the shards as if nothing happened? Would she* just forget Inuyasha and all he did for them in time?
She snarled at the thought. 'I won't forget Inuyasha.....I can't...'
"Kagome?"
She looked up, it was Kaede. Kagome's eyes brightened filling with hope as a smile etched the sides of her mouth. 'Did she find a cure?'
"....I.....I've found most of the things we need to brew up this cure. But not all of the necessary things I'm afraid...It'll take some more time yet."
Kagome grimaced. Her eyes were empty yet again. 'It's too late.' A voice told her. 'He's probably already dead.'
'Don't say that!' A voice said shaking her consciously.
'...........'
She stood up and looked Kaede in the eye. "I'll help. Inuyasha doesn't have any time to lose. We might not make it." She said sternly surprising everyone.
"Kagome...There's not much you could do. I'll know what I'm looking for when I see it. I can't just point out a picture and tell you to go find it." Kaede whispered pulling her head down.
Kagome gaped at her without saying a word. "..."
"Kagome..." Sango whispered. "Maybe...You just need some fresh air. We'll save Inu-"
"Don't say it. Don't fill my mind with false hope!" She yelled angrily barging out the door.
***
Kagome strided into the forest, not quite sure where she was going. She needed to get away. Not just from everyone else, but from the world. She stomped her way towards the left and stopped when a huge river blocked the way to the other side.
She fell to the ground drowning herself in tears wanting the pain to end right there right now. She closed her eyes, her memories flooding her every being.
"If I never fell in that well....If I didn't go looking for Buyo....I never would have met Inuyasha. I never would be in this situation...I would be happy going to school with my friends, being with my family..Instead of breaking down over here right now. Why did I have to meet Inuyasha in the first place?!?!?!? Why me?!?!?!?! I HATE IT HERE! I HATE EVERYTHING HERE!" She screamed.
She heard something stir behind her and turned abruptly ready to attack. Sango stood there with the kitsune perched on her shoulder and a great sadness in their eyes.
Kagome looked back down. "...What do you want?"
"I just wanted to see how you were doing." Sango whispered sitting next to her. "....Am I bothering you?"
Kagome sighed. "N-No.."
"...I'm sorry we caused you so much pain."
"What.?"
"...You...You hate it here..you hate everything here.." She stuttered repeating her words as Shippo's eyes brimmed with tears yet again.
"You hate us too Kagome?" He whispered.
"Shippo....Its not like that. I'm sorry I said that....I don't know where I would be if I didn't meet you all."
"You'd be happy...going to school and being with your friends and family." Sango repeated. "I'm so sorry we forced you to come here."
"You didn't force me...I come here because I want too."
"........." Sango was silent.
'She..hates us?'
Kagome glanced at Sango. "Listen to me..I didn't mean what I said..I....I'm upset. I can't accept the fact that all I can do is sit here while Inuyasha is suffering back in my time. I just can't."
"You all mean so much to me. You both, Miroku, Kaede, Inu-Inu..yasha..You all are* my family, you are my friends."
She hugged Sango and smiled. "You're the best friend anyone could have. And you know what..? I wouldn't trade anything for my life here with all of you. I guess.....If you guys never met me......I don't know how your lives would be.......But I do know how my life would be if I didn't meet you all....And I don't want that kind of life."
Kagome leaned forward taking the little bundle of fur in her arms and hugging him tightly. "Don't forget that."
****
"I better go find Kagome, Shippo and Sango. They've been gone for a while." Miroku said getting up leaving the hut.
"Kaede please find that cure fast."
***
"You should have hope." Sango whispered playing with the grass under her fingers.
"Why?"
"Would Inuyasha want you to be all sad like this?"
Kagome smirked. "Heh....Your right. It's too hard though."
"You're not the type to give up you know that."
'.....I'm not..But Inuyasha dying isn't the only thing I'm worrying about. If he dies...I won't be able to tell him how I feel...If he survives...He'll just go back to Kikyo.' She thought. 'It's a dead end for me..either way.'
"Kagome?"
".....Did Inuyasha tell you anything about Kikyo that I don't know?"
"No.."
"Anything you know about Kikyo that I don't?"
"No..why.?"
Shippo looked up.
*Flashback*
"Tell the girl a single word, and they all die.
*End Flashback*
Sango looked at Shippo. "Do you know anything?"
"I..I....."
********
Kikyo smirked behind them. They had no idea that was behind them. 'Go ahead. Tell her little fox. I look forward to killing her.'
********
"Do you?"
"N-No....."
"Why were you crying before.?"
"I w-was afraid if s-something happened to Kagome." He said trying not to break out into sobs once more.
******
"The spell I put on Kagome should take effect soon." Kikyo whispered turning around when she heard something.
******
"Hey!" Miroku yelled smiling. "You guys okay out here?"
Sango sighed. "Miroku.....What are you doing?"
"Just seeing if you guys were okay. You've all been out here for a while." He said seating himself on the grass thinking of ways to cheer them all up.
The clouds darkened and tiny droplets of water began to fall on their heads.
Miroku got up and looked over to the three of them. They merely sat there, oblivious to the rain that was falling.
"Hey.....Come on guys, its raining. Let's go back to the hut before you all get sick."
*********
The droplets of rain grew harder and they strode across the muddy path while bushes and sharp thorns pushed at them while they crossed. Miroku sighed heavily getting sick of the low atmosphere his friends were giving off. It was starting to become a nuisance to him. But then again, he couldn't blame them. He worried just as much as they did about Inuyasha. Trying to lighten the mood, he turned to them and smiled.
"We'll be there soon everyone."
He glanced over to everyone when no one answered. "Are you guys alright?"
They all nodded as the rain poured on their heads.
"Come on, we better start running, the weather's getting worse." Miroku said abruptly running forward through thick mud.
They all ran after him. Sango was way ahead of Shippo and Kagome and Miroku was barely in sight.
Kagome slipped and fell, her leg was now had numerous cuts around them because she had fallen near a bush full with thorns. Shippo turned and ran back.
"Kagome!! Are you okay?" He asked worriedly, looking at her leg which was covered with blood and dirt.
Kagome nodded and tried to wipe the rain out her eyes.
"Do you need help? I'll get Sango and Miroku!" He said getting ready to run after them. He stopped and looked ahead, they were gone...At least they were not in their sight anymore.
"That's alright Shippo...I can manage. They probably didn't see me fall and maybe they're close to Kaede's hut now."
Shippo looked at her. "Are you sure Kagome?"
"Yes, Yes Shippo." She smiled, coughing a bit. "I just fell is all."
"But you have cuts all over your leg!" He said, pointing at her.
Kagome chuckled a bit. "I think we shouldn't worry about that. We should worry about finding our way back to Kaede's." She grimaced and pulled herself up forcing herself to smile.
"Do you know the way back?" Shippo asked. Kagome shook her head no and winced.
"Kagome!!" He said worriedly, "We need to get back soon! You're hurt!"
"I told not to worry." She smiled, grabbing onto a branch and pulling herself up.
"Let's go."
**
Sango and Miroku ran into the Kaede's hut dripping wet with mud all over them. "That was quite a run, huh Kagome?"
"K-Kagome? WHERE IS SHE?"
**
The rain poured down harder and the skies darkened even more. Kagome and Shippo ran through the blinding rain not being able to see where they were going. A clash of thunder shook the area and Shippo shivered on Kagome's shoulder.
"ACCKCKKKk!!!" Shippo yelped forcing himself not to cry. Kagome shook her head trying to pry the fright off her mind.
"We'll make it Shippo....Don't-"
Another clash of thunder sounded cutting her off, and they saw a flash of lightning ahead. Kagome's eyes widened.
'This can't be good.....' Kagome thought running as quickly as her legs could carry her.
**
"We have to go out there!" Sango yelled. Kaede pulled her back. "Sango you could get hurt out there!"
"We can't just leave them out there!" Miroku yelled.
"You can't go!"
**
Kagome's cuts ached and stinged as the rain and dirt pushed all over her. The wind grew harder and she took Shippo into her arms to make sure he wasn't blown away.
'Why this weather....Why now out of all times.....' She thought looking ahead as more thunder and lightning threatened her.
**********
"We really have been having bad weather for a while...." Sota mumbled looking out the window and pulling his head down with every crash of thunder. ".Where are you Kagome?"
He looked over to the half-demon. Inuyasha hadn't moved for days and Sota was beginning to wonder on whether or not he was alive.
'I wonder if he has any chance to survive.or..that is if he's still alive...'
His head popped up when he heard a crash. Instantly he ran to the window and looked out. A tree had been hit and was now on the ground. [A/N It hit a tree, not* the God tree. For anyone who doesn't know what the God tree is its Inuyasha's tree. ^_^]
'I hope sis is in some sort of shelter right now..' He thought staring blankly, then turning back to Inuyasha.
**************
"I'm going!" Miroku yelled running out the door. "Sango stay here!"
Sango ran to the door. "Please be careful Miroku!"
**
"Kagome??? Kagome where are you?" Miroku yelled checking every place they passed.
"Miroku!!!" Shippo yelled rushing towards the monk.
Miroku sighed in relief and looked down to the kitsune. "Shippo...how...where's Kagome?"
"She's in there!" He said pointing ahead. "I told her to stay over there because she was hurt and---"
"Shippo where are you?!?!?" Kagome yelled pushing through the bushes. "Shippo!! There you are I was looking all over-Miroku!!!" She screamed running up to him.
"Kagome!" Miroku gasped in shock. "What happened to you?"
Kagome blinked in confusion and took a moment to look down at herself. She was dripping wet, with cuts all over her legs, the blood and dirt had mixed into her wounds.
"It's nothing...I fell into a bush of thorns..." She said coughing.
"We better get you back to Kaede's..Come on." He said, helping her all the way through.
[A/N INU KAG FOREVER! =D]
They strided through the dirt and mud as the rain continued to pour down on them. The thunder began to increase and was beginning to deafen them.
"There they are!!!" Sango yelled in anxiety and yet relief at the same moment.
Kaede and Sango both moved out of the way to allow Kagome, Miroku and Shippo some space to come into the hut.
"..Thank goodness you're all alright." She smiled.
"Y-Yeah..." Miroku said shaking his head trying to get the water out of his hair. "Shippo, Kagome are you two alright?"
They both nodded.
"Kaede, will you please help bandage all of Kagome's wounds..? They seem to be getting worse."
Kaede nodded and got out the bandages and some ointment to pour on Kagome's aching cuts and bruises as Kagome explained how she got them.
"All because of this stupid weather..." Shippo mumbled pouting, seating himself on the floor.
Kagome laughed a bit and began coughing excessively. Shippo jumped. "Are you okay?"
"I'm great!" Kagome said through a fit of coughing. Sango shook her head. "No your not..."
"Yes I-OWW!!" She yelled when Kaede adding some medicine to her wounds. It stung at her cuts and her eyes became watery from the pain. She swallowed her breath and smiled at them.
"Ahem. Yes. I'm fine." She said ignoring the next surge of pain that passed though her body.
Sango smiled a bit. "You're such a great person Kagome...."
Kagome looked up surprised. "Huh? What makes you say that?"
"Well..Even though you're in pain, you still insist on making it look like you're not so we won't have to worry.."
Kagome's face flushed. "No.I really am not hurt..."
Sango smiled. "See?"
Miroku chuckled to himself. "You are a great person Kagome!"
Shippo smiled and joined in. "Everyone loves Kagome!"
Kagome tried to smile with all the compliments they were offering her. 'Yeah.everyone loves me.' She thought with sarcasm. 'Except Inuyasha.'
Kaede poured more ointment on her cuts diverting her ideas to the pain she was undergoing.
She looked at her leg as Kaede cleaned it trying to keep quiet and not worry the others. Kagome's eyes lowered. She was extremely tired from all the running, her throat hurt and she became a tad bit dizzy.
"There it's done." Kaede smiled. Kagome got up and tried to walk. But as she got off the futon, her legs shook and she fell down to the floor.
Sango leaned down and helped her up. "Maybe you should try resting first."
Kagome smiled in embarrassment and sat back up on the futon and fell into a deep sleep.
**
It was still raining hard outside and the hut felt as if it was shaking. A few hours later, no one else was awake except for Kaede. She was trying to brew up every thing she had found and had finally come on a cure. She ran into the room shaking Kagome.
"Mhhmmm......." Kagome mumbled turning in her sleep.
"Wake up Kagome.." Kaede said shaking her harder. Kagome turned and eyed the old priestess obviously confused.
"Wha....?"
"I've found it. I found the cure."
Kagome bolted out of bed as a shot of pain flew through her legs. "You what?? Are you sure that's it??? What...When did you find it?" She screamed waking up the others.
"WHAT IS IT?!?!" Miroku yelled jumping up with his staff ready to fight. "..Huh.? What's going on..?" He said groggily.
Sango rubbed her eyes and Shippo stared at Kagome. All three mouthed the words 'huh' to the two.
Kaede shook her head explaining how she was brewing up everything she hand found the past few days.
"REALLY??? DOES THAT MEAN YOU FOUND A CURE?!!?" Sango yelled jumping up and down with happiness.
Miroku smiled at Kagome. "Inuyasha's gonna be fine!"
Those words brought tears of happiness to her eyes. 'We really found it!' She said to herself.
Shippo ran around jumping with Kirara in sheer joy. "She found it, she found it!" Shippo sung in a sing-song voice. Kirara turned her head confused trying to go along with that Shippo was doing. But since she couldn't talk, she just followed along saying, "mew mew mew mew" In the tune that Shippo had done earlier.
Kaede frowned. "I'm afraid this is no time to celebrate."
The room became silent again. Kagome gulped and looked straight at her. "What..What do you mean?"
Kaede set her eyes downcast. "We don't know whether Inuyasha is still alive or if the poisons already passed through his whole body..If he is still alive, you need to take it to him now because there is no time to lose..I've only brewed up a cure like this once. There's always the possibility it might not work."
The room was silent yet again. As much as they hated to admit it, the priestess was right.
"Then I'll take it to him now." Kagome muttered getting up and grabbing the medicine off the table.
"You're in no condition to go." Kaede replied, "And the weather is still getting worse."
'There's always* a catch.' Sango thought.
"I'm not about to give up."
Sango sighed. "Kagome...please..you need your rest."
"I need* Inuyasha! I need to go and bring this to him."
"You can barely walk, what makes you think you can that to him?" Miroku interjected. "You barely made it back before...And do you know how far the well is from here?"
"You're slowing me down. I'm going whether or not you all like it." Sango grabbed her shoulder and Kagome fell into a fit of coughing once again.
"Kagome....What if you don't make it?"
"It's worth the risk."
"No it isn't."
"Are you saying that Inuyasha's life is meaningless???" She yelled angrily pulling her arm out of her grasp.
"That's not what I'm saying! We all care about Inuyasha very much! We know how you feel about him! But you can't just go out in this type of weather in that condition. Inuyasha would never let you do that. Not even for him."
"..If you care for Inuyasha you'll let me go. I owe this to him."
Sango sighed. "But Kagome---"
"Sango..please..Inuyasha has risked his life countless times not just for me but for all of you too....."
She bowed her head in defeat. "Please.......Please be careful Kagome...We'll never forgive ourselves if something happens to you."
Kagome simply nodded and tried to head to the door when a sharp jab of pain in her leg. She stopped abruptly as they reopened. 'It's hard to walk..But that's not gonna stop me.' She thought.
She ran out the door as the rain poured on her yet again and thunder clashed ahead of her. Kaede was right. The weather did get worse.
She held the antidote in her hand tightly never letting go as she continued to saunter into the forest. It was cold and dark and she could barely even see where she was going. She kept bumping into things and she felt terrible.
Suddenly, she tripped on an overgrown tree root and fell onto an immense boulder hard as the wind got knocked out of her chest. For a few seconds she remained in that position as images clouded her mind yet again.
What if she didn't make it?

END OF CHAPTER CHAPTER 27! Phew...Please review..I worked hard. Thank you all for being so patient!
To: Litwolf89
Q: How come Shippo looks half-human (with the head and arms) and half-fox (tail and legs) while his father in the thunder brothers episode looked like a whole fox? Why do they look different?
A: Well, the reason is because some demons can look more human then others. It just depends on Rumiko Takahashi really..But I've heard that the more human they look, the stronger the demon. You notice, lol, that whenever they fight a demon for a long time, it looks more human? ^^* Yeah..lol.So basically, the reason is, as I've said, is because some can look more human than others, kind of like, some people can be taller than others.

**
The undersized room became quiet; the wails of the tiny cub silenced them all. Sango looked on confused nudging Miroku on his side to see if he had any idea as to why the child was crying.
Miroku shrugged at her and looked at the cub pitifully. 'Shippo..Whatever it is you're hiding from us...It must be...It must be something bad..' He thought grimly.
Kagome's face softened and she moved to sit next to the little fox. She smiled at him faintly and put her arms around the sobbing child in a motherly way.
"Shippo...whatever it is you're crying about..It's ok..You can talk to me about anything...You can talk to Miroku..Sango..any of us..Don't ever doubt that..." She whispered.
The kitsune didn't listen. He merely thrust his hands onto his eyes whimpering. His tears grew more and more intense by the second.
'I wonder if it has anything to do with Kagome..He always worries when it comes to her....Inuyasha too...' Sango thought. 'Or..maybe something to do with all of us..'
Kagome kept quiet. She knew Shippo was hurting because of something.She just didn't know what that something was.
'Everyone needs time to say these things...' Kagome thought. 'I can't even tell Inuyasha how I feel...It must be harder on poor Shippo...'
Kaede sat there quiet as could be. The look on her face was unreadable. 'Ye should be all worrying about Inuyasha..I fear that time is not on his side..And even if he does make it...I have a feeling something even worse is going to happen.' She thought grimly as the only the sounds of a child weeping were heard.

"Inuyasha..Inuyasha!! Wake up!! Wake up!!" Sota yelled frantically shaking the half demon. Inuyasha hadn't said a word. He just laid there looking like he was in a deep sleep; unfortunately one Sota feared was the kind people never woke up from.
'Come on dog-brother you gotta pull through this!' Sota thought to himself. 'Kagome needs you!'
"WAKE UP!! WAKE UP!! Don't die!!"
Sota became more anxious by the second. What'll happen to Kagome? What about their adventure?
What if....Inuyasha never did wake up?
**********
The day seemed to pass by quickly in the feudal era. Shippo had eventually stopped his tears but he never spoke a word. His eyes were bloodshot from all the tears he spilled and tiny hands were trembling. Kagome looked down at the parched wooden floor worrying about Inuyasha.
She pictured him suffering back at her world waiting for someone to help him. She grimaced at the thought. She never wanted Inuyasha to go through anything like that. But she couldn't do anything...if she could..she would've took all his pain, even if it meant her own life.
She sat wrapping her arms around her knees and curled to her chest. She stared outside the door and tried to think of something positive. '.Inuyasha can't be..dying could he?' She thought burying her face in her arms letting out a soft whimper.
"He's not gonna die...He's not gonna die.." She chanted rocking back and forth.
Sango looked at her best friend; anxiety creeping into the features of her face. She tensed up and sighed. 'Please be alright Inuyasha...for your sake..for our sake..for...for Kagome's sake...'
She suddenly felt something behind her and she sighed almost exasperated. 'Not now Miroku, I'm not in the mood for your perverted quirks.' She moved her hand toward Hiraikotsu ready to swap at him. The monk threw his hands up in a protective manner.
"I'm not* doing anything." He said quietly. Sango glared at him. "Miroku I'm not in any mood for your---"
"Sango I know.." He whispered putting his arm around her. Sango stiffened and turned bright red.
"Miroku..." She seethed, motioning towards Hiraikotsu, thinking it was another perverted trick of his.
"..Sango..I know when its time to be serious." He said quietly with a hint of hurt in his voice.
Sango looked down as if ashamed. "I'm sorry.I just..I'm worried...for Kagome and Inuyasha's sake.."
Miroku nodded in agreement and looked at the slayer. "I understand...I feel the same.." He said quietly, "But..I..I..," He lowered in voice, "I don't think this is the best time to say this...but I..that is...I..."
"Mi.roku? What is it?"
".I..I..love...we have to help..k-keep.Inuyasha and Kagome to.together." He stuttered, changing the subject. "I don't know about you..but..Fate doesn't seem to be on our side...its worse..for Inuyasha and Kagome.." He whispered not able to bring himself to tell her he cared for her.
***
Kagome looked over at Sango and Miroku and smiled faintly. Sango now had her head on Miroku's shoulder, her eyes were closed and her face was as red as Inuyasha's kimono. Miroku sat there contentedly smiling to himself and pulling Sango closer to him.
'I'm surprised he's not pulling anything perverted..' Kagome thought smiling. 'They..They're a great couple...I ho-hope they stay together.' She thought with mixed emotions of sadness and happiness. The couple reminded her of Inuyasha, a reason in which she didn't know why.
'Why are they reminding me of Inuyasha..? Its not like..He even cares about...' She cut off her thought when an image of Inuyasha popped into her mind.
*Flashback*
Kagome sighed. "You met up with Kikyo, right?"
"I----"
"You had a talk with her...and...you...." She trailed off and started to look down at the floor.
"Kagome it's not like---"
"What happened to you? I've never seen you this tired. Never."
"It's nothing------"
"Tell me what happened!" She yelled.
*End Flashback*
Kagome sighed. 'Why..Why does all this happen to me?' She thought as more images of Inuyasha and her popped into her mind.
*Flashback*
Kagome seated herself on a chair and sighed. "Please..."
"It's okay."
"I understand. You don't trust me."
"Kagome, I DO TRUST YOU."
"Then WHY don't you tell me?!"
"I don't want you to worry!" He yelled back.
*End Flashback*
She sighed heavily and began thinking about what she would do if Inuyasha didn't make it. Would they just continue on their search for the shards as if nothing happened? Would she* just forget Inuyasha and all he did for them in time?
She snarled at the thought. 'I won't forget Inuyasha.....I can't...'
"Kagome?"
She looked up, it was Kaede. Kagome's eyes brightened filling with hope as a smile etched the sides of her mouth. 'Did she find a cure?'
"....I.....I've found most of the things we need to brew up this cure. But not all of the necessary things I'm afraid...It'll take some more time yet."
Kagome grimaced. Her eyes were empty yet again. 'It's too late.' A voice told her. 'He's probably already dead.'
'Don't say that!' A voice said shaking her consciously.
'...........'
She stood up and looked Kaede in the eye. "I'll help. Inuyasha doesn't have any time to lose. We might not make it." She said sternly surprising everyone.
"Kagome...There's not much you could do. I'll know what I'm looking for when I see it. I can't just point out a picture and tell you to go find it." Kaede whispered pulling her head down.
Kagome gaped at her without saying a word. "..."
"Kagome..." Sango whispered. "Maybe...You just need some fresh air. We'll save Inu-"
"Don't say it. Don't fill my mind with false hope!" She yelled angrily barging out the door.
***
Kagome strided into the forest, not quite sure where she was going. She needed to get away. Not just from everyone else, but from the world. She stomped her way towards the left and stopped when a huge river blocked the way to the other side.
She fell to the ground drowning herself in tears wanting the pain to end right there right now. She closed her eyes, her memories flooding her every being.
"If I never fell in that well....If I didn't go looking for Buyo....I never would have met Inuyasha. I never would be in this situation...I would be happy going to school with my friends, being with my family..Instead of breaking down over here right now. Why did I have to meet Inuyasha in the first place?!?!?!? Why me?!?!?!?! I HATE IT HERE! I HATE EVERYTHING HERE!" She screamed.
She heard something stir behind her and turned abruptly ready to attack. Sango stood there with the kitsune perched on her shoulder and a great sadness in their eyes.
Kagome looked back down. "...What do you want?"
"I just wanted to see how you were doing." Sango whispered sitting next to her. "....Am I bothering you?"
Kagome sighed. "N-No.."
"...I'm sorry we caused you so much pain."
"What.?"
"...You...You hate it here..you hate everything here.." She stuttered repeating her words as Shippo's eyes brimmed with tears yet again.
"You hate us too Kagome?" He whispered.
"Shippo....Its not like that. I'm sorry I said that....I don't know where I would be if I didn't meet you all."
"You'd be happy...going to school and being with your friends and family." Sango repeated. "I'm so sorry we forced you to come here."
"You didn't force me...I come here because I want too."
"........." Sango was silent.
'She..hates us?'
Kagome glanced at Sango. "Listen to me..I didn't mean what I said..I....I'm upset. I can't accept the fact that all I can do is sit here while Inuyasha is suffering back in my time. I just can't."
"You all mean so much to me. You both, Miroku, Kaede, Inu-Inu..yasha..You all are* my family, you are my friends."
She hugged Sango and smiled. "You're the best friend anyone could have. And you know what..? I wouldn't trade anything for my life here with all of you. I guess.....If you guys never met me......I don't know how your lives would be.......But I do know how my life would be if I didn't meet you all....And I don't want that kind of life."
Kagome leaned forward taking the little bundle of fur in her arms and hugging him tightly. "Don't forget that."
****
"I better go find Kagome, Shippo and Sango. They've been gone for a while." Miroku said getting up leaving the hut.
"Kaede please find that cure fast."
***
"You should have hope." Sango whispered playing with the grass under her fingers.
"Why?"
"Would Inuyasha want you to be all sad like this?"
Kagome smirked. "Heh....Your right. It's too hard though."
"You're not the type to give up you know that."
'.....I'm not..But Inuyasha dying isn't the only thing I'm worrying about. If he dies...I won't be able to tell him how I feel...If he survives...He'll just go back to Kikyo.' She thought. 'It's a dead end for me..either way.'
"Kagome?"
".....Did Inuyasha tell you anything about Kikyo that I don't know?"
"No.."
"Anything you know about Kikyo that I don't?"
"No..why.?"
Shippo looked up.
*Flashback*
"Tell the girl a single word, and they all die.
*End Flashback*
Sango looked at Shippo. "Do you know anything?"
"I..I....."
********
Kikyo smirked behind them. They had no idea that was behind them. 'Go ahead. Tell her little fox. I look forward to killing her.'
********
"Do you?"
"N-No....."
"Why were you crying before.?"
"I w-was afraid if s-something happened to Kagome." He said trying not to break out into sobs once more.
******
"The spell I put on Kagome should take effect soon." Kikyo whispered turning around when she heard something.
******
"Hey!" Miroku yelled smiling. "You guys okay out here?"
Sango sighed. "Miroku.....What are you doing?"
"Just seeing if you guys were okay. You've all been out here for a while." He said seating himself on the grass thinking of ways to cheer them all up.
The clouds darkened and tiny droplets of water began to fall on their heads.
Miroku got up and looked over to the three of them. They merely sat there, oblivious to the rain that was falling.
"Hey.....Come on guys, its raining. Let's go back to the hut before you all get sick."
*********
The droplets of rain grew harder and they strode across the muddy path while bushes and sharp thorns pushed at them while they crossed. Miroku sighed heavily getting sick of the low atmosphere his friends were giving off. It was starting to become a nuisance to him. But then again, he couldn't blame them. He worried just as much as they did about Inuyasha. Trying to lighten the mood, he turned to them and smiled.
"We'll be there soon everyone."
He glanced over to everyone when no one answered. "Are you guys alright?"
They all nodded as the rain poured on their heads.
"Come on, we better start running, the weather's getting worse." Miroku said abruptly running forward through thick mud.
They all ran after him. Sango was way ahead of Shippo and Kagome and Miroku was barely in sight.
Kagome slipped and fell, her leg was now had numerous cuts around them because she had fallen near a bush full with thorns. Shippo turned and ran back.
"Kagome!! Are you okay?" He asked worriedly, looking at her leg which was covered with blood and dirt.
Kagome nodded and tried to wipe the rain out her eyes.
"Do you need help? I'll get Sango and Miroku!" He said getting ready to run after them. He stopped and looked ahead, they were gone...At least they were not in their sight anymore.
"That's alright Shippo...I can manage. They probably didn't see me fall and maybe they're close to Kaede's hut now."
Shippo looked at her. "Are you sure Kagome?"
"Yes, Yes Shippo." She smiled, coughing a bit. "I just fell is all."
"But you have cuts all over your leg!" He said, pointing at her.
Kagome chuckled a bit. "I think we shouldn't worry about that. We should worry about finding our way back to Kaede's." She grimaced and pulled herself up forcing herself to smile.
"Do you know the way back?" Shippo asked. Kagome shook her head no and winced.
"Kagome!!" He said worriedly, "We need to get back soon! You're hurt!"
"I told not to worry." She smiled, grabbing onto a branch and pulling herself up.
"Let's go."
**
Sango and Miroku ran into the Kaede's hut dripping wet with mud all over them. "That was quite a run, huh Kagome?"
"K-Kagome? WHERE IS SHE?"
**
The rain poured down harder and the skies darkened even more. Kagome and Shippo ran through the blinding rain not being able to see where they were going. A clash of thunder shook the area and Shippo shivered on Kagome's shoulder.
"ACCKCKKKk!!!" Shippo yelped forcing himself not to cry. Kagome shook her head trying to pry the fright off her mind.
"We'll make it Shippo....Don't-"
Another clash of thunder sounded cutting her off, and they saw a flash of lightning ahead. Kagome's eyes widened.
'This can't be good.....' Kagome thought running as quickly as her legs could carry her.
**
"We have to go out there!" Sango yelled. Kaede pulled her back. "Sango you could get hurt out there!"
"We can't just leave them out there!" Miroku yelled.
"You can't go!"
**
Kagome's cuts ached and stinged as the rain and dirt pushed all over her. The wind grew harder and she took Shippo into her arms to make sure he wasn't blown away.
'Why this weather....Why now out of all times.....' She thought looking ahead as more thunder and lightning threatened her.
**********
"We really have been having bad weather for a while...." Sota mumbled looking out the window and pulling his head down with every crash of thunder. ".Where are you Kagome?"
He looked over to the half-demon. Inuyasha hadn't moved for days and Sota was beginning to wonder on whether or not he was alive.
'I wonder if he has any chance to survive.or..that is if he's still alive...'
His head popped up when he heard a crash. Instantly he ran to the window and looked out. A tree had been hit and was now on the ground. [A/N It hit a tree, not* the God tree. For anyone who doesn't know what the God tree is its Inuyasha's tree. ^_^]
'I hope sis is in some sort of shelter right now..' He thought staring blankly, then turning back to Inuyasha.
**************
"I'm going!" Miroku yelled running out the door. "Sango stay here!"
Sango ran to the door. "Please be careful Miroku!"
**
"Kagome??? Kagome where are you?" Miroku yelled checking every place they passed.
"Miroku!!!" Shippo yelled rushing towards the monk.
Miroku sighed in relief and looked down to the kitsune. "Shippo...how...where's Kagome?"
"She's in there!" He said pointing ahead. "I told her to stay over there because she was hurt and---"
"Shippo where are you?!?!?" Kagome yelled pushing through the bushes. "Shippo!! There you are I was looking all over-Miroku!!!" She screamed running up to him.
"Kagome!" Miroku gasped in shock. "What happened to you?"
Kagome blinked in confusion and took a moment to look down at herself. She was dripping wet, with cuts all over her legs, the blood and dirt had mixed into her wounds.
"It's nothing...I fell into a bush of thorns..." She said coughing.
"We better get you back to Kaede's..Come on." He said, helping her all the way through.
[A/N INU KAG FOREVER! =D]
They strided through the dirt and mud as the rain continued to pour down on them. The thunder began to increase and was beginning to deafen them.
"There they are!!!" Sango yelled in anxiety and yet relief at the same moment.
Kaede and Sango both moved out of the way to allow Kagome, Miroku and Shippo some space to come into the hut.
"..Thank goodness you're all alright." She smiled.
"Y-Yeah..." Miroku said shaking his head trying to get the water out of his hair. "Shippo, Kagome are you two alright?"
They both nodded.
"Kaede, will you please help bandage all of Kagome's wounds..? They seem to be getting worse."
Kaede nodded and got out the bandages and some ointment to pour on Kagome's aching cuts and bruises as Kagome explained how she got them.
"All because of this stupid weather..." Shippo mumbled pouting, seating himself on the floor.
Kagome laughed a bit and began coughing excessively. Shippo jumped. "Are you okay?"
"I'm great!" Kagome said through a fit of coughing. Sango shook her head. "No your not..."
"Yes I-OWW!!" She yelled when Kaede adding some medicine to her wounds. It stung at her cuts and her eyes became watery from the pain. She swallowed her breath and smiled at them.
"Ahem. Yes. I'm fine." She said ignoring the next surge of pain that passed though her body.
Sango smiled a bit. "You're such a great person Kagome...."
Kagome looked up surprised. "Huh? What makes you say that?"
"Well..Even though you're in pain, you still insist on making it look like you're not so we won't have to worry.."
Kagome's face flushed. "No.I really am not hurt..."
Sango smiled. "See?"
Miroku chuckled to himself. "You are a great person Kagome!"
Shippo smiled and joined in. "Everyone loves Kagome!"
Kagome tried to smile with all the compliments they were offering her. 'Yeah.everyone loves me.' She thought with sarcasm. 'Except Inuyasha.'
Kaede poured more ointment on her cuts diverting her ideas to the pain she was undergoing.
She looked at her leg as Kaede cleaned it trying to keep quiet and not worry the others. Kagome's eyes lowered. She was extremely tired from all the running, her throat hurt and she became a tad bit dizzy.
"There it's done." Kaede smiled. Kagome got up and tried to walk. But as she got off the futon, her legs shook and she fell down to the floor.
Sango leaned down and helped her up. "Maybe you should try resting first."
Kagome smiled in embarrassment and sat back up on the futon and fell into a deep sleep.
**
It was still raining hard outside and the hut felt as if it was shaking. A few hours later, no one else was awake except for Kaede. She was trying to brew up every thing she had found and had finally come on a cure. She ran into the room shaking Kagome.
"Mhhmmm......." Kagome mumbled turning in her sleep.
"Wake up Kagome.." Kaede said shaking her harder. Kagome turned and eyed the old priestess obviously confused.
"Wha....?"
"I've found it. I found the cure."
Kagome bolted out of bed as a shot of pain flew through her legs. "You what?? Are you sure that's it??? What...When did you find it?" She screamed waking up the others.
"WHAT IS IT?!?!" Miroku yelled jumping up with his staff ready to fight. "..Huh.? What's going on..?" He said groggily.
Sango rubbed her eyes and Shippo stared at Kagome. All three mouthed the words 'huh' to the two.
Kaede shook her head explaining how she was brewing up everything she hand found the past few days.
"REALLY??? DOES THAT MEAN YOU FOUND A CURE?!!?" Sango yelled jumping up and down with happiness.
Miroku smiled at Kagome. "Inuyasha's gonna be fine!"
Those words brought tears of happiness to her eyes. 'We really found it!' She said to herself.
Shippo ran around jumping with Kirara in sheer joy. "She found it, she found it!" Shippo sung in a sing-song voice. Kirara turned her head confused trying to go along with that Shippo was doing. But since she couldn't talk, she just followed along saying, "mew mew mew mew" In the tune that Shippo had done earlier.
Kaede frowned. "I'm afraid this is no time to celebrate."
The room became silent again. Kagome gulped and looked straight at her. "What..What do you mean?"
Kaede set her eyes downcast. "We don't know whether Inuyasha is still alive or if the poisons already passed through his whole body..If he is still alive, you need to take it to him now because there is no time to lose..I've only brewed up a cure like this once. There's always the possibility it might not work."
The room was silent yet again. As much as they hated to admit it, the priestess was right.
"Then I'll take it to him now." Kagome muttered getting up and grabbing the medicine off the table.
"You're in no condition to go." Kaede replied, "And the weather is still getting worse."
'There's always* a catch.' Sango thought.
"I'm not about to give up."
Sango sighed. "Kagome...please..you need your rest."
"I need* Inuyasha! I need to go and bring this to him."
"You can barely walk, what makes you think you can that to him?" Miroku interjected. "You barely made it back before...And do you know how far the well is from here?"
"You're slowing me down. I'm going whether or not you all like it." Sango grabbed her shoulder and Kagome fell into a fit of coughing once again.
"Kagome....What if you don't make it?"
"It's worth the risk."
"No it isn't."
"Are you saying that Inuyasha's life is meaningless???" She yelled angrily pulling her arm out of her grasp.
"That's not what I'm saying! We all care about Inuyasha very much! We know how you feel about him! But you can't just go out in this type of weather in that condition. Inuyasha would never let you do that. Not even for him."
"..If you care for Inuyasha you'll let me go. I owe this to him."
Sango sighed. "But Kagome---"
"Sango..please..Inuyasha has risked his life countless times not just for me but for all of you too....."
She bowed her head in defeat. "Please.......Please be careful Kagome...We'll never forgive ourselves if something happens to you."
Kagome simply nodded and tried to head to the door when a sharp jab of pain in her leg. She stopped abruptly as they reopened. 'It's hard to walk..But that's not gonna stop me.' She thought.
She ran out the door as the rain poured on her yet again and thunder clashed ahead of her. Kaede was right. The weather did get worse.
She held the antidote in her hand tightly never letting go as she continued to saunter into the forest. It was cold and dark and she could barely even see where she was going. She kept bumping into things and she felt terrible.
Suddenly, she tripped on an overgrown tree root and fell onto an immense boulder hard as the wind got knocked out of her chest. For a few seconds she remained in that position as images clouded her mind yet again.
What if she didn't make it?

END OF CHAPTER CHAPTER 27! Phew...Please review..I worked hard. Thank you all for being so patient!
To: Litwolf89
Q: How come Shippo looks half-human (with the head and arms) and half-fox (tail and legs) while his father in the thunder brothers episode looked like a whole fox? Why do they look different?
A: Well, the reason is because some demons can look more human then others. It just depends on Rumiko Takahashi really..But I've heard that the more human they look, the stronger the demon. You notice, lol, that whenever they fight a demon for a long time, it looks more human? ^^* Yeah..lol.So basically, the reason is, as I've said, is because some can look more human than others, kind of like, some people can be taller than others.
