Author Notes: Ok first of all I really need to think Shannon Parkhurst she has given me so much help with minor details that will make this story even better. I would also like to thank all the reviewers for their input. I may only write one or two more chapters because I want to get some more information on some of the minor demons that Naraku sends after the group. I have also strayed from my workout recently so I need to get back to that, but I will try to get at least 5 chapters a week.

Miroku ran into the temporary infirmary where Inu-Yasha was held, his jaw suddenly dropped to see that Kagome was sleeping with him. Her one arm lay over his chest the other around his neck, while both his arms were around her waist. Was this actually happening or was Miroku seeing stuff again. "What are you staring at monk?" Anger was rising in Inu-Yasha's voice that his sleep was being disturbed. Miroku just stood flabbergasted at what he saw, this had to be a dream no way could this be happening Miroku thought. Inu-Yasha slowly got out of the bed trying hard not to wake the sleeping Kagome, then suddenly Inu-Yasha turned bright red, his cheeks became flushed, was Kagome lying in his bed, was he holding her, the hell happened last night he tried to recall.

~ Flashback of Last Night ~

Kagome was shivering badly, and once again Inu-Yasha caught the smell of her blood, he forgot in all that had happened Kagome was hurt by Kohaku. Inu-Yasha attempted to move into a position to dress Kagome's wound but she placed a hand on his shoulder and forced him back into the bed. "Kagome you are hurt, let me look at it." There was something new in his voice, Kagome couldn't tell what it was but it was new all right. She grabbed some dressing and sat next to Inu-Yasha he touched her flesh trying to examine the wound, she was so cold he thought as he grabbed some of the peroxide she used on him. It was some kind of cleaning agent from Kagome's time. He poured a small bit onto her wound and sensed her tense up. Inu-Yasha knew the stuff stung because of all the amount he used on him but he felt it necessary to do it. He then grabbed the dressing and slowly wrapped it around Kagome's arm, trying to get it tight but not to tight to cut off her circulation.

The whole time Inu-Yasha was looking after Kagome's arm she stared at the hanyou, his strong arms, his muscular build, his soft ears. For some reason she couldn't take her eyes off his ears, she wanted to touch them, to stroke them. In a very quiet and hesitant tone Kagome spoke; "Um Inu- Yasha.may I feel your ears? Just once!" she was pleading. Inu-Yasha looked up at her and she had the cutest face he ever saw, it reminded him of a dog who lost its' home and wanted to you to be his friend. Inu-Yasha moved his head up to Kagomes' shoulder so she could touch his ears. What is it with humans and my ears he thought as Kagome placed a hand on his ear. They are so soft kagome thought as she gently rubbed his ears. That feels so good; her hands are so soft but cold, why are they so cold, these thoughts passing through his mind. Inu-Yasha gently pulled Kagome to him wrapping his arms around her and placing his head over one of her shoulders. "Inu-Yasha what are you doing?" The dazed Kagome asked. He had never done anything like this before. It felt so good to have his arms around her like this she thought as she felt his warm breath on her neck. Butterflies were in her stomach racing all over inside her, she had never felt this way ever.

"I'm trying to keep you warm Kagome what else did you think I was doing." Yeah that will cover it up, she thinks I just want to keep her warm when all I want to do is keep her save and hole her. Why did he always act so tough around her? He soon forgot all these questions and just enjoyed the moment this moment he knew wouldn't last, this moment that he probably would never get again. This was just his and Kagomes' moment he thought.

Why does he have to wreck everything with his attitude, why did he have to be so mean at times? Why did he have to act all tough and destroy this moment, maybe he was just trying to keep her warm and she was just being silly thinking he wanted to just hold her for one moment. She soon forgot to all her questions and anger towards him and just sat in his arms late into the night. Neither one spoke they just sat in the silence as one, just enjoying the silence. Kagome fell asleep in his arms, why does she love me? I am a half bread not man not demon I'm nothing yet she loves me. Inu-Yasha couldn't help but think all this none had ever loved him Kikyo said she did but if she did why put an arrow to him and stick him in suspended animation for 50 yrs? Inu-Yasha knew now what he felt then was not a true love but this now was he could feel it. He gently laid Kagomes' head on a small pillow and was about to leave when he felt her hand on his arm. All Kagome could think to say was; "Don't leave Inu-Yasha stay with me please." She sounded so afraid to Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha laid down beside her and gently snuggled up to her, where they both fell asleep.

~ End of Flashback ~

"Miroku nothing happened last night, honestly so get those thoughts out of your head.NOW!" Inu-Yasha's yelling had awoken Kagome who was confused at the ruckus, she had the most wonderful dream last night she thought. When she looked down beside her the imprint left on the sheets told her it was not a dream, she had fallen asleep in Inu-Yashas' arms. She started to blush from head to toes.

Miroku finally regaind his composure and spoke in what seemed a horrified voice, his eyes were blank and a sadness was buried deep down in them. "You are wrong Inu-Yasha something did happen last night.Sango.Sango." Tears rolled down the monks face he couldn't stop them. With the Miroku's words Kagome ran to the other room to see what had happened and to speak to Kaede.

"Kaede what has happened to Sango?" Kagome's voice was shaken but still controlled.

"She has been poisend by the blade that caused the wound and I do not have the proper herbs to treat it, they are very rare and only one place has them." Despair was written all over her face.

"Jinenji has them doesn't he Kaede!" Kagome remembered the herbs they had gotten before for Kilala.

"How did you know that lady Kagome? Total disbelief in the old womens voice.

"It doesn't matter we are going after them! Kagome you are coming with me and Miroku stay by Sango, guard her with your life. Kagome grab a bow and arrows we are leaving very shortly." None realized who was speaking, they heard Inu-Yasha's voice but never would he ever say something like that. "Come on we don't have much time so move it." It was Inu-Yasha but still none could believe it. Kagome did as she was told and they both headed for the door, disbelief still on Kagome's face.t, but i ion on some of the minor demons that Naraku se
