Chp. 2

When Sango went out side she instantly heard Kagome start to cry again. She went to sit with Inuyasha and Miroku who were watching Shippo and Kilala play. "Well whatever you did Inuyasha," Sango began, " Kagome is real upset over it."
"FOR THE LAST TIME I DIDN'T SAY OR DO ANYTHING," Inuyasha yelledo out, getting a few passer by stares.
Well Inuyasha, Kagome not crying for no reason," Shippo sqeaked coming from out of no where.
-.- "Who asked you," Inuyasha said hitting the kitsune over the head. " I didn't do or say any thing to upset Kagome. She is probably just feeling some side effect from when she was in the hospital."
"Lady Kagome was in the hospital!!" Miroku stood up in complete shock. "What was she doing in a place like that.
"Kagome rarely gets sick," Sango said out loud to herself . She was really worried. "Inuyasha tell us what happened and Miroku," she said calmly, "sit down."
Miroku did and Inuyasha told them excatly what Kagome had told him. He didn't leave out anything and when he was done he looked at their worried expressions.
Miroku's eyes were down cast, "Poor Lady Kagome. Did she say what she had."
"No. She said they didn't know." Inuyasha thought for a minute, " That's kinda weird."
They all were silent for a moment, when they heard an ear peircing scream come from the hut. KAGOME!! They all got up and ran into the hut. Inuyasha could smell the salty scent of tears.
Inuyasha and Miroku burst into the hut. Sango remained outside refusing to see her friend in pain. Kagome was in the same corner only she was rolled over into a fetal postion holding her stomach in pain.
"INUYASHA!!!" Kagome screamed, Inuyasha was there cradling her in his arms and rocking her slightly.
"Kagome," Inuyasha said softly, "Kagome listen to me. Can you do that?" She nodded. "Kagome tell me where it hurts." Kagome whimpered then jerked suddenly in pain.
She is suffering from stomach cramps." Keade was standing over the two. Inuyasha thought. "Inuyahsa take her to the hot springs, the hot water will sooth her muscles."
Inuyasha nodded. "I'll go and get Sango, she could help with Kagome's clothes." Miroku was completely serious and not thinking anything hentai. (a/n: isn't it amazing!!!)
Inuyasha picked up a still crying Kagome and began to walk towards the hot springs. Inuyasha's Thoughts were interupted when Kagome jerked with another contraction (a/n: she's not pregnat I just didn't know what else to put.). He shifted her slightly in his arms and cradled her like baby soothing her hair.
When they reached the springs Inuyasha sat with Kagome cradled in his arms on his lap. He rocked her slightly. She was hot, so hot she began to sweat. "Shhhh. Kagome. Listen to my voice okay." Kagome nodded but then screamed in pain. Inuyasha hugged her to his chest and rested his chin on the to of her head. She sobbed into his chest.
They were still in that position when Sango and Miroku joined them. "Well you guys go wait behind a rock or something," Sango ordered. "I'll undress her and get her to the springs okay on my own." The two nodded uneasy like. "Don't worry I've got it under control. Besides, Inuyasha, she would most likely 'sit' you when she came around to her proper senses." Sango chuckled at this and Inuyasha growled and walked of to wait with Miroku behind a giant boulder near the edge of the springs.
Minutes passed when they heard Kagome's crying subside into a content sigh. Inuyasha sighed. He glanced over to see Miroku peeking over the edge of the boulder. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and growled, "Hentai," he mutter hitting Miroku over the head with the stealth of his sword.
"heh heh, Inuyasha," Miroku grinned, "What was that for."
"Think about it, houshi," Inuyasha growled. Miroku just smiled and sat down beside the hanyou. "Always the perverted one aren't you?"
Miroku gave Inuyasha a innocent grin, "I assure you Inuyasha I haven't the faint clue has to what your talking about."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes and fell deep in to thought. I wonder what's wrong with Kagome. She's never been this sick. Feh, maybe she's not sick. No. maybe this is something more. Could she really hate me? No, she couldn't. I mean wasn't it me she called for when she was going through the pains of hers. Yes. Yes it was me, so she can't hate me. Right? Inuyasha's thoughts were interupted by a voice. Inuyasha sighed in relief.
"Inuyasha did you here me. I said Kagome's going to be fine, I put her to bed a minute ago. We should all do the same." Sango was waving a hand in front of Inuyasha's face, then stood to return to where they had set up camp for the night.
Inuyasha joined the group some time after that.

It was late into the night when Inuyasha woke to a soft whimpering. . He slowly walked to where she was sleeping. She was wriggling in her sleep and whimpering like she was having a nightmare.
"Inuyasha please help me. Don't let them kill me," Kagome whimpered and Inuyasha went still. Then Kagome shot up panting loudly, with tears streaming down her face. "Inuyasha?"
"Right here Kagome," Inuyasha replied and opened his arms as the girl cried into his arms.
"O thank god. I-I had a horrible dream.," Kagome sobbed. "They stopped you from helping me, they- they were going to k-ki-kill me. O INUYASHA, please don't let them kill me." Kagome began to sob.
By this point everyone was awake and watching with interest. Sango and Miroku with worried expressions. Shippo with a confused look on his face.
When the sobbing had stopped Inuyasha looked down at the woman in his arms to see she had fallen asleep in his arms clutching his hoari as if her life depended on it. I He hugged her tightly and let her sleep in is arms.
Shippo had fallen asleep, but Sango and Miroku were still wide awake. "What happened Inuyasha." Sango asked worriedly.
" She had a nightmare," Inuyasha said curtly then add, "It was strange what she told me."
"And what DID Lady Kagome tell you," Miroku asked leaning over in interest.
"She said that 'they' were trying to kill her and stopped me from saving her."
Sango gasped and without think leaned into Miroku who just put an arm around her and hugged her close to him. Sango was suspicious though. And her suspicions were confirmed when Miroku's hand began to lower towards her chest. Sango unwrapped herself from him and slapped him hard across the face. Then she sat there with her arms folded across her chest. "HMPH!! Serves you right."
"SHH you guys are going to wake Kagome," Inuyasha snarled before thinking of what he was saying. Miroku and Sango stopped their bickering and gave each other a knowing grin. Then they all prepared for bed again, all except Inuyasha who stayed awake storking Kagome's hair and rocking slightly. (A/N: I think I'm really capturing the more gentler side of Inuyasha. ^-^)

Kagome woke up feeling a lot better than she had the day before. She blinked her eyes a few times to remove any sleep that still wondered. Kagome look up and saw Inuyasha then that would mean. Kagome snuggled closer hitting her nose against a rather sensitive part of all males Hanyou or not and closed her eyes.
Inuyasha woke when he felt a slight pressure on his.er. He looked down to she Kagome was snuggled up with her head in his lap,. Kagome snuggled more the rubbing made him harden and whimper slightly with lust and want.

Just then Kagome opened her eyes and turned her head to see Inuyasha gazing down at her with.lust?. Kagome blushed and smiled at him. Then got up from the comfort of his lap. "Um. thanks. for providing me with a pillow." She stuttered.
Inuyasha looked at her then shook his head of his hentai thoughts. "Feh, don't mention it. Feeling better." Kagome gave a slight nod then Inuyasha stood up, "Good, well it is your turn to get the fire wood, but forget it. I'll do it, I'm not so sure you should be doing anything that strenuous for awhile." With that Inuyasha turned and left her there utterly cinfused and fascinated.
"Thank you," she whispered, even though she knew very well he could not hear.

After the group had eaten their breakfast the y started on the long walk to a neighboring village. Kagome was unusually quiet and walked slowly behind the group. She had told Shippo she was tired and so Shippo was sitting on Kilala's back. Inuyasha looked back at her constently to see the same empty look on her face. She was pale and kept her head bowed.
Finally around mid day Inuyasha broke down and told the others to make camp and that he was going for a walk. When he turned to walk away he felt a small tug on his sleeve. He turned to see Kagome with tears in her eyes. "Please.Please don't leave me."
Inuyasha was confused, "I'm not leaving you Kagome I'm just going for a walk."
Kagome shook her head, "No. your leaving and you'll never come back.Just like.," Kagome looked up straight into Inuyasha's eyes, "my dream."
Inuyasha tensed "No Kagome I'm coming back. I love you and I will come back to protect you," Inuyasha drew Kagome into is arm and kissed her passionately on the lips. "No one will ever stop me from protecting you, my love."
Sango had dropped the wood she had been carrying, Shippo stood in aw and Miroku just smiled. They all watched as Inuyasha placed another loving kiss to Kagome's icy lips.
But withen seconds her lips heated up along with the rest of her body. Kagome threw her arms around Inuyasha's neck and pressed into the smoldering kiss. Inuyasha tightened his arms around her waist, pressing her tightly to his chest.
When he broke the kiss Kagome was breathing heavily she rested her forehead on his chest. "Inuyasha?"
"Hmm," he said willing her to speak.
"I love you."
He hugged her tightly, "I love you too."
A large mist started to form and the wind suddenly picked up. Kagome clung to Inuyasha as he stepped in front of her his Tetsaiga drawn. There was a soft evil luaghing the nout of the mist stepped Kykio. (A/N: Who would have guessed.) "Inuyasha did you have to go and kiss her, it removed my spell on her."
Inuyasha started to growl, "YOU. YOU MADE HER ILL, AND IT WAS YOU WHO HAUNTED HER DREAMS!!!!"
Kykio gave a coy smile, "Very good, my love. I'm impressed. Now please Inuyasha I know you love me and not her. Come to me my love."
"Yes Kykio there was a time when I loved you, and there was a time not too long ago that I would have joined you in hell. But not now. GO. I have found happiness and love in Kagome's arms."
Kykio stood staring at Inuyasha then to the girl who stood behind him, "You wait girl, Inuyasha will be mine." Then she turned to leave.
"Your wrong," Kykio stopped when she heard Inuyasha's vioce. "Your wrong Kykio. I don't love you any more."
Kykio grew angry, she turn and in a split second shot an arrow that head straight for Inuyasha. Kagome pushed Inuyasha out of the way then cryed out in pain as the arrow cut deeply into her side. She fell unconcious onto Inuyasha who rolled her over onto her back.
"Kagome! Kagome please wake up." Inuyasha cried Sango, Miroku and Shippo all rush to Kagome's side.
"The wound isn't that deep," Sango said inspecting the gash in Kagome's side. "She should be alright, but you should probably get her to Keade's quick.
"Hmmm, well atleast I managed to cuase some damage," the long forgotten Kykio said watching over the scene, "And YOU are the one who is wrong Inuyasha, you will be mine," she whispered then disappeared.
A few minutes later they were all back at Keade's hut, Kagome on a futon (did they have futon back then) while a worried Inuyasha hovered over her watching excatly what Keade did (A/N: Cuz ya know we all know Keade's out to get Kagome.) Finally Keade finished bandaging Kagome's and said to Inuyasha, "She needs much rest, I fear that arrow was too much for her in the condition she was in."
Inuyasha was confused, "But Kykio said I had broken the spell and that Kagome was fine now. What happened whats wrong with Kagome." Inuyasha was beginning to worry and began to raise his voice to Keade.
"There is no need to raise your voice Inuyasha, you will most likely only achieve in waking Kagome with that tone." Keade then turned and walked out of the hut, with an angry Hanyou close behind her.
"Listen ya hag, I want to know what's wrong with Kagome and I want to know now." Inuyasha said in a dangerously low growl.
"Kagome has been through a lot Inuyasha, and she is in a state of recovery, that is all," Keade said as she began to walk down the streets of the village.
Inuyasha fell behind deciding he'd rather stay by Kagome's side than to follow that know- it-all miko through the streets.
