Chapter 5

The next day they didn't really go anything. They just sat

around, talked, ate, and basically took the day very easy. In the

evening at about 6:20 PM, the fire was burning. Inuyasha was out

getting wood again. Kagome stood up. "I'm going to go for a walk.

I'll be back soon." Kagome wandered off into the woods. From a

distance, Kagome saw a small shack. Kagome walked closer up to it. It

looked old and abandoned. Kagome looked inside. No one was in there.

Kagome went inside.

Inuyasha finished getting the wood when he got a strange feeling

in his gut like something was about to happen. Inuyasha came back from

getting firewood. He looked around. "Where is Kagome?" Sango said, "She

just went for a walk." Inuyasha grumbled something to himself. Then, he

yelled, "Which way did she go?" Sango pointed in the direction that she

went. Inuyasha started running into the woods.

Kagome was curious about the house. She went into the entrance

room. It was a small little room. Then, Kagome saw a hallway. As she

walked down the hallway, it started creaking. Kagome walked very

carefully. She saw three doorways. She took a peek into the first door.

Inside there was a bed and a dresser. Kagome walked down the hallway.

The second room was a bathroom. Then, Kagome walked to the third

doorway. She realized that it wasn't a doorway. It was a staircase.

Inuyasha was still running though the woods. Inuyasha picked

up a scent that he had began to love ever since he first smelled it.

'I know that she is near from her scent.' Inuyasha, then, saw the

hut. Inuyasha sniffed the air and then turned towards the hut.

Kagome began walking up the staircase. As her foot hit the

fifth stair the board broke and Kagome fell in towards the hole. She

screamed. Inuyasha heard this scream and it made him run even faster

towards the hut. Kagome's leg was stuck underneath a board which had a

nail in it that had dug into her leg. Kagome heard the footsteps of

Inuyasha. "Kagome! Where are you?" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome thought,

'He sounds really concerned.' "Over here." Kagome yelled back. Inuyasha

got there just in time to see Kagome pull her leg out of the hole and

the look of pain that was on her face as she scraped her leg doing so.

Inuyasha sighed with great relief. He felt like yelling at her, but he

didn't. He asked, "Are you alright?" Kagome nodded. Inuyasha helped her

to her feet. "Why did you run off by yourself?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome

said, "I needed to stretch my legs. I didn't know that I was going to

run into this mess." Inuyasha said, "Have someone go with you when you

leave the camp. I don't like the idea of you running off on your own

because things can happen that is much worse than this."

Kagome looked at her leg. It was deep. She knew that it would

be hard to walk, so Inuyasha helped her. Once they were outside of the

hut, Kagome said, "Thank you, Inuyasha. I really do appreciate this

stuff." Inuyasha said, "Don't worry about it. You have done it for me

plenty of times." Kagome went though her thoughts about all of the

times that she has help Inuyasha. She put

her arm around Inuyasha's shoulder. He put his arm around her waist.

After a while of walking, Kagome couldn't walk anymore. Inuyasha

carried(bridal style) her the rest of the way.

Inuyasha walked into the camp with Kagome in his arms. Miroku

went up to Inuyasha. He whispered, "So, Inuyasha. First, you come

walking with Kagome hand in hand. Now you're carrying her into the

camp. What's your next move?" Inuyasha hit Miroku again. He said, "Look

at her shin." Miroku, then, saw the wound in her leg. Miroku got a

look on his face. 'Oh, crap. He's going to kill me now. Why did I have

to open my mouth?' Inuyasha said, "Do you get it now?" Miroku nodded.

Sango went to Kagome's bag. Kagome said, "They're in the side pocket."

Sango got them out of her bag. Inuyasha set Kagome down by the fire.

Inuyasha watched intently as they bandaged the wound. Every time Kagome

flinched or moaned in pain, Inuyasha wanted to go over to comfort her

and tell her that everything would be O.K. They decided to not move

around that much. They talked from after Kagome leg was bandaged which

was around 7:12 until 1:36. They everyone laid down. Kagome stayed up

later because she had to study.

Kagome was looking through her book. It was 2:30. She looked

around. Everyone seemed to be sleeping peacefully. Kagome, finally,

closed her book, rubbed her eyes, and lay down to go to sleep.

Secretly, Inuyasha was still awake, watching over her. He didn't sleep

that well that night. His mind was thinking about everything. In the

morning, Kagome was the last one to wake up. Sango was busy making

some sort of stew. It was Miroku's turn to get the firewood so he was

off doing that and Inuyasha had gone to the river.

Kagome sat up and rubbed her eyes. Sango saw Kagome sit up.

"Well, it's about time you woke up." Sango said, teasingly. Kagome

yawned. Then, Sango came and sat next to her. "Kagome, do you remember

that we were going to figure out who lied?" Sango asked. Kagome

remembered the night before and she thought, 'Miroku didn't lie to

Sango. Inuyasha really does like me more than just a 'usual' friend.'

"Yeah, I remember." Kagome said. Then Sango said, "Well...uh...Inuyasha

didn't lie to you." Kagome said, "What? You mean...Miroku does have

feelings for you." Sango nodded. "Yeah, but that means that he lied to

me. I can't stand getting lied to," Sango finished. Kagome said,

"Sango..." Sango said, "What?" Kagome finished, "...he didn't lie to

you." "What? Wait a minute that means that you know that Inuyasha has

feelings for you." Kagome nodded. Sango was about to burst out with

laughter, but Miroku came out of the woods with the firewood. She had

to keep it in our he would try to get it out of them. They got quiet

all of a sudden.

Miroku gave them a look. "What were you two talking about?"

Sango whispered to Kagome, "Let's get him." Kagome nodded. Then,

Kagome said, "We were just talking about..." she got up as to whisper

something into his ear, but instead she jumped at him. Miroku started

running away. Then, Sango join in. Sango caught Miroku. Sango began to

hit him when they hear someone clearing their throat.

Inuyasha was standing next to them. Then, he gave Kagome a

look. "Weren't you going to leave this morning?" Inuyasha asked. Then,

Kagome remember that her test was today. "Shi..." Kagome said. She

didn't finish what she was meaning to say, but everyone had the idea.

Everyone's eyes got wide. They were all in shock. "Kagome, we didn't

think that you would ever curse." Sango said. Kagome blushed. She

decided to blame them for it. "Do you guys see what I pick up from

you?" Everyone laughed. Inuyasha said, "Nice cover, Kagome." Kagome

glared at Inuyasha. "If you wouldn't of reminded me, I wouldn't of

done it." Inuyasha said, "You were the one who forgot about it."

Kagome got in Inuyasha's face and yelled, "I'm going home." Inuyasha

yelled back, "Fine. Go! See if I care." Kagome grabbed her bag and

stomped into the woods. Sango ran after her.

Once Sango caught up to her she was at the well almost ready

to jump in. "Wait!" Sango yelled. Kagome heard her. She turned around.

"What's up?" Kagome asked. "How long are you planning to stay in your

era?" Kagome thought, 'I told Inuyasha that I would be back in two

days, but I want to stress him out.' Kagome replied, "I should be back

in a few days." Sango nodded in response. Sango said, "Hey, take care

of that leg.." Kagome smile. "Bye, Sango." Kagome said. Then, she

jumped into the well.
