Hey everyones. I'm sooo sorry that it has taken so long for me to update, the chapter has been written since I started the story I just never felt like copying it from my notebook to the disk. Shame on me I know! I would also like to say many, many thanks to everyone who took the time out of their day to not only read but review this little fic of mine. Furthermore, I will never take this long to update. I have made a promise to myself that I will update one of my fics every week.

Kagome was awaken the next day by the bright sunlight. She tried to get up but couldn't the pain was unbearable. She lay extremely still yet it still hurt.

"Don't try to move. We're trying to figure out how to get you to Kaede." Kagome looked to her side to see Inuyasha standing next to her. Even the little movement she had just made was excruciating.

"What time-"

"Don't try to speak. It's still early in the day." Inuyasha stated cutting Kagome off. Miroku walked up to Inuyasha and they started to talk about moving Kagome. It would be a hard task yet it would have to be done soon. Her wounds were deep and they were deeply concerned with Kagome's shoulder and collarbone.

Miroku looked down to see Kagome's brown eyes looking up at him. "You're awake? You need to rest and save your energy." Miroku stated squatting next to her lying figure.

The pain was obviously written on her face even though she was trying to fight it as best she could.

"I have more herbs." Sango called as she came out of the forest carrying a bundle of green plants, Shippo at her side.

"Good." Miroku started. "Kagome we're going to put some of these herbs on your wounds, okay. Maybe they'll subdue some of the pain."

Kagome tried to acknowledge his statement with a nod but found it excruciating to even think about completing that gesture. She was still feeling faint and every now and then was plagued with dizziness. She assumed it was due to the great amount of blood she had lost.

'I'm extremely lucky. I know I shouldn't be here now. Anyone else would have died from wounds like mine.' Kagome thought as Sango and Miroku started to remove the bandages from her leg and around her shoulder.

"Inuyasha, could you and Shippo go and rinse these off. We don't have anymore spare bandages to make bandages out of." Sango asked while handing them a handful of bloody cloth.

Inuyasha glanced at Kagome and it was obvious that he still didn't want to leave her side. He paused for a moment before turning and heading toward the pond.

The pained expression on her face was still too much for him to bear. He still felt guilty about letting her go into the woods by herself. What if there had been more wolves or if he hadn't gotten there when he did?? Inuyasha shook his head to get the thoughts out of his mind. He decided it was best if he didn't think about things like that.

As he and Shippo approached the pond he looked down at the pile of cloth in his hand. They were soaked on Kagome's blood.  His Kagome's blood. It was a scent he never wanted to smell again. He knew that she was still in what the people of her time called "critical condition" but at least she was feeling better than she was the previous night.

He walked beside Shippo who was already at the waters edge washing the bandages he had carried.

"Wow. I'm happy Kagome's better but we still need to get her to Kaede. I hope she doesn't keep losing blood like this. I'm sure there isn't that much blood in a human's body!" He stated while rinsing a strip of cloth.

Before he knew what had happened Inuyasha had him under the water. Inuyasha had Shippo's small head in his hand and was holding him under the water's surface watching him splash crazily in the red tinged liquid.

Inuyasha lifted Shippo out if the water and held him before his face. "Don't say anything like that again!" Inuyasha yelled at Shippo before tossing him back onto the bank.

"All I said was that I hope she doesn't lose any more blood." Shippo stated pathetically while rubbing the back of his neck.

"SHUT UP!!" Inuyasha yelled again silencing the small fox demon's whining.

They continued washing out the rest of the bandages in silence before heading back to the campsite. They returned to see Sango holding part of a blanket over Kagome's shoulder. She was trying to add pressure to the wound and stop the new round of blood coming from it.

She looked up to see Inuyasha coming out of the trees. "We have to get her to Kaede now!" She screamed. Kagome lay on the ground shaking. Miroku ran beside Sango trying to hold Kagome steady.

"Kirara! We need to get her to Kaede quickly!" Sango called to the cat demon who had now changed to his larger form. They lifted Kagome onto Kirara's back. She had passed out again and leaned limply against Sango.

"No, take her to the Bone Eater's Well! We have to get her to a healer from her own time." Inuyasha stated trying to stay calm. He looked at the limp form of Kagome and felt a new surge of pain and anger wash over him.

'You can't leave me Kagome!' He thought as he watched Kirara take off toward the Bone Eater's Well.

Inuyasha took off at a run toward the well also.

They made it to the well in record-breaking time. Miroku and Sango lifted Kagome off of Kirara's back and walked her over to the well that connected their time to hers.

Inuyasha ran over to them and took a hold of Kagome. "Go to Kaede and tell her what happened. I'll take Kagome home." He stated quickly before jumping into the well. He usually hated the feeling of passing through to Kagome's time yet he paid it no mind this time as all his attention was on Kagome.

He knew he had to move quickly and remain unseen. He headed toward Kagome's house in leaps and bounds.

He came up to the house and walked in. There was no time for manners. Kagome needed help.  Inuyasha walked into the house and called out to the occupants. Kagome's mother walked into the room and let out a scream at the sight of her injured daughter in the arms of Inuyasha.

"What happened to her?!" She screamed as she ran over to them. Grandpa and Souta rushed into the room to see what the commotion was about.

"There's no time for questions. Get her to a healer!" Inuyasha yelled annoyed and panicking. Grandpa already had the phone in his hands talking to the 911 operator.

A few minutes later paramedics were rushing around Kagome, injecting her with medicines and strapping her to a gurney.

Inuyasha stood in the other room while the medics worked furiously to save Kagome. He called Souta over and told him about Kagome being attacked. The problem was that there were no wolves around their house so that story wouldn't have worked. Souta thought hard on an explanation for Kagome's wounds but was called away by his mother before he could come up with one.

"Inuyasha you can stay here until we get back with news." Kagome's mother called as she ran towards the car.

***

Souta, Grandfather, and Mrs. Higurashi walked into the house late that night. When Inuyasha heard them come in he stood waiting to hear the news about Kagome.

"She's in surgery still. We won't know what's going on until later but they said that she had a broken leg and she had lost a tremendous amount of blood." Mrs. Higurashi paused and looked away from the concerned expression on Inuyasha's face.  "If she comes out of this okay… she won't be returning to the feudal era." She finished finally looking back at the shocked Inuyasha. "It's too dangerous. I'm not going to let my daughter get hurt again. She's staying here."

"But you don't understand what we've been trying to do-"

"I don't care what you've been trying to do!" Mrs. Higurashi said cutting Inuyasha off. "Look around. Our world is fine so obviously whatever you're doing isn't important enough for my daughter to die over!"

"What about my world?" Inuyasha asked trying to keep a hold of his temper. "What about my world and my friends? What we are trying to do is keep my friends alive."

"Sorry, but I can't allow Kagome to go back. She's only fifteen. I should have never let her go in the first place." Mrs. Higurashi stated turning her back on Inuyasha and trying to hold back the new flood of tears.

"I love her." Inuyasha stated quietly. His head was lowered and his bangs covered the emotion in his eyes.

"You don't know what love is. You're a dog. If you really loved her you wouldn't want her to return to your time." Mrs. Higurashi said her voice barely above a whisper. "Could you please leave now? I only came to drop Souta and Grandfather off. I need to get back to the hospital." She walked passed Inuyasha to get to the front door. "I'm really sorry." She said as she passed Inuyasha.

*Sniff* That was so sad. It was hard to right. Poor Inuyasha. Will he see Kagome again? And what's up with that confession of love??? Find out of the next episode of  *dramatic music* Seducing Kagome.

Ps Sorry for not having Naraku in this chap. He won't be in the next chap either. I'm still trying to build on Inuyasha and Kagome's relationship. But our fav evil man will be in the 4th chap.
