Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-Yasha ok we should all know this by now.
Kagome was brought back from her flashback by Inu-Yasha's moaning. She was covered in a heavy sweat; her sweat was beading on her neck and forehead. The taste of the sweat was salty in her mouth as a bead slowly trickled onto her lips. Inu-Yasha stirred once more, he was mumbling something faintly. Kagome grew closer to his side to hear what she he was saying. Before anyone knew what was going on Kagome was outside the hut running for the Bone Eaters Well.
"Kagome come back, where are you going, Kagome?" Confusion was evident in Sango's voice, why would she leave Inu-Yasaha?
"Miroku go inside the hut watch over Inu-Yasha find out what happened. Now!" Anger is deep in her voice. Miroku didn't move, is he that dense, Sango thought. "Miroku move it."
"Sango I don't want to leave you alone, you could get into to trouble again, and none will be there to protect you."
"You think I need protecting now! I'll show you who needs protecting!" She took a large swing bringing down the boomerang hard onto Miroku's head.
"Sango darling do you see those pretty stars?" Miroku mumbled as he fell onto his back, clutching the lump starting to form on his head.
"Miroku now get inside and look after Inu-Yasha!" Sango commanded as she started to run after Kagome who was starting to fade into the distance.
~ Kaede's Hut ~
Inside the hut Inu-Yasha was moving slightly, he was trying to reach Tetsusaiga that lay on the floor next to the bed. Miroku saw this and quickly ran to Inu-Yasha to stop him from moving, preventing further injury.
"Back off Miroku, I have to find Kagome. So get the hell out of my way." A great sadness could be detected in his voice, what was it, was there a hint of fear to.
"You are in no condition to be moving right now Inu-Yasha, if you attempt to find Kagome you will only lead to placing Kagome in danger. What happened here?" Miroku spoke very calmly, trying to console Inu-Yasha's mind.
"Miroku I said something in my dream, I awoke to find Kagome holding back tears, she ran out of the hut. I don't know what I said."
"I know what you said Inu-Yasha, Kagome didn't hear it all. You mentioned Kikyo in your dream, you promised not to ever hurt her or let her down again. This caused her great distress and she left." Kaede spoke in her hard and raspy voice.
"Is that all I said, or is that all Kagome heard?" Concern was in Inu- Yasha's voice. Why is my voice quivering, what is this I'm feeling?
"Yes Kaede is there more to what Inu-Yasha said?"
"Just as Kagome stormed out he promised to never let Kagome leave him, that he would protect her.and if I'm not mistaken something about love." A sly grin crossed the old women's face.
"He said WHAT?" Disbelief in Miroku's voice, "He said that, Inu-Yasha really said that!"
"I need to find Kagome, now, we need to talk badly." Inu-Yasha gathered all his strength he could, stood up straight and tall, his amber eyes burning with a light no one ever seen before. With his right hand he picked up Tetsusaiga, sheathed it and slowly limped towards the door. Upon reaching the doorway Inu-Yasha's strength failed him and he collapsed on the floor barely conscious. "Kagome!" was the last words anyone heard as Inu-Yasha slipped into unconsciousness.
~ The Bone Eaters Well ~
Just as Kagome was about to jump into the well Sango caught up to her, placing both hands on Kagome's shoulders turned Kagome around to see a tear streaked face. Sango was able to trace the tears down Kagome's face, the line of vapour that was left from the tears before the met with the ground.
"Kagome why do you cry, what happened in that hut?" Concern could be seen in her eyes and across her face.
"Inu-Yasha that..that.that Hanoi!" Anger was filling in her voice. "He can love Kikyo but not me, I stand by him, I look after him but he doesn't care about me at all!" A look of defeat was on her face as she collapsed into Sango's arms.
"Kagome he does care for you, he is lying in that bed because he was fighting for you. He sacrificed everything to protect you on that battle field. How can you say he doesn't care at all for you? He may not show it or even know it but you are his world, his life. Kagome men are stupid, and very stubborn." Sango spoke in a very soothing voice, stroking Kagome's hair gently.
Kagome just sat in Sango's arms just thinking of Inu-Yasha. I wish this was him holding me in his arms, I wish he was here to make me smile, to make all my problems disappear. Just to stroke his soft ears. Does he really care for me like Sango says?
"Kagome come back to the village with me, we'll go look for some new clothes, maybe a new staff for Miroku."
"Sango go on ahead I'd like to just stay her for a bit to think, but thank you." The softness in Kagome's eyes showed Sango how much she appreciated her presence there.
"Ok Kagome we'll be back at Kaede's when you decide you are ready to come back to town." A look of compassion in her eyes showed Kagome how much she understood, was she feeling the same way about Miroku Kagome thought.
