Shadowed Hearts

Chapter 1- ---------------------------

"WHO ARE YOU!? WHY DID YOU DO THIS!?!?" shouted an enraged Inuyasha. Not hearing anything, he grabbed Kagome's lifeless body and dashed through the forest, away from the area. he ran and ran until he gets to the camp. "Sango, help Kagome!!" he shouted.

"What...who...." Sango utters as she stares at Kagome, her clothing torn to shreds, and her body covered with cuts, bruises, and scratches. Sango walks into the tent and kicks Miroku out, telling Inuyasha to put her in the tent. "Monk, can you bring be some water?" asks Sango. Miroku nods.

Sango looks into the tent, where Kagome is lying on her open sleeping bag. She takes great care in removing Kagome's clothing. Many scratches cover her legs, arms, and torso. Sango zips the sleeping bag, and steps outside. Miroku walks to Sango, handing her the bucket of water. Sango steps inside the tent, and places the bucket on the ground. Unzipping the sleeping bag, Sango gets to work. She rummages through Kagome's bag, pulling out herbs and small vials of various medicines.

Two days later, Sango steps outside. "Will she be alright?" asked a very worried Inuyasha. Miroku was nodding hopefully. "I hope so, she's....hurt bad..." Sango replied.

Inuyasha looks at his feet, trying to hide a stream of tears. "I'm...I'm going to KILL who ever did this!!!!" he shouts. Sango gasps, and looks sternly at the hanyou.

Kagome flinches involuntarily as Sango cleans out a rather deep cut on her shoulder. "Sorry..." Sango whispers. A tear trickles down Kagome's cheek as she regains consciousness. "San...go..." Kagome whimpers.
"Shh...Kagome, don't move. I'm cleaning your wounds. I think you might have some broken ribs." Sango whispers back to Kagome. "Alright...don't leave me...where's Inu...yasha" Kagome whispers between winces. "He's outside. When I get you cleaned up and your wounds dressed, he can come in." Sango says, bandaging Kagome's wounds

About one day later, Sango stepped outside, walking over to Inuyasha. She pokes his shoulder. "Inuyasha, come with me." She whispers. Inuyasha stands up, and follows Sango into the tent. Kagome is fully awake now, and is still bandaged up. Inuyasha crouches and sits next to her. Kagome tries to get up, but Inuyasha stops her.

"Let me." He eases her body up, allowing Sango to place Cushions behind her, letting Kagome lean up. "Inuyasha...thanks." says Kagome. Inuyasha smiles, then leans in and embraces her in a warm hug. Kagome winces and Inuyasha releases her. "Sorry..." remarks Inuyasha, looking at Kagome.
He softly caresses her arm, leaning in closer, and kisses her cheek. he helped her lay down again and headed out, with one final statement. "Go to sleep, you need your rest."
