"Kagome! Look out!" Kagome turned at the sound of Inuyasha's voice, just in time to jump out of the way. She scrambled to her feet just as soon as the large rat demon slammed into the earth, and then made her way back to where Sango and Miroku were standing.
It was a beautiful spring day. The sun was high in the mid-day sky. And the scent of sakura blossoms in full bloom wafted through the air, teasing their noses with it's sweet and much longed for scent after a long winter. It had seemed a lazy day, and for once Kagome had thought that perhaps they could just relax. But those hopeful thoughts had quickly diminished as soon as the rat demon attacked.
Inuyasha now jumped down in front of the others, the Tetsuiga drawn in his hand, him poised to fight. "Kagome what were you doing?!" He yelled, but didn't turn his attention from his opponent. "Keep yer eyes open, wench!"
Kagome sighed softly. 'Just another day. . . ' She thought to herself, a bit sadly. She turned her brown orbs to the large demon in front of them. She had already determined that the demon had a shard in its skull, and Inuyasha had seemed pleased. After all, the Shikon No Tama was almost complete. Only six shards remained to be collected. 'And then you'll have to leave for good.' She reminded herself softly.
Inuyasha growled lightly. "This is ridiculous." He grumbled softly to himself, and then flung himself forward, and up, bringing the Tetsuiga down at the demon's head. The rat-demon was not to be taken by surprised though, as he reared up, and lifted a giant paw, whacking Inuyasha in the stomach and sending him flying back into a tree.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome stepped forward, but Inuyasha was already back on his feet. He didn't even glance at Kagome as he took off at the demon again.
But things were changing, and Inuyasha was slowly loosing the battle. He just couldn't seem to get a clear strike at the demon-Much less at his head. And every time it seemed like he did, the demon would find some way to block him.
Then the unexpected happened. Inuyasha flung himself at the demon again, but this time, the demon was more than prepared. He twisted around, and snagged Inuyasha in one of his three large tails. Inuyasha was trapped, confined in the tail, which the demon seemed to be tightening slowly as Inuyasha strained for breath.
Kagome couldn't stand it. Before Miroku or Sango could protest, she drew an arrow from her quiver, and nocked it on her bow. Taking aim, she pulled back, and then let the arrow fly. The demon never even saw it coming.
The arrow penetrated the demon's skull, splitting it clear in two, and setting the jewel shard free. The tail around Inuyasha finally loosened, and he jumped out of the way as the demon hit the ground, causing it to shake lightly from his force.
Kagome stood staring at it for a moment, before she noticed Inuyasha standing next to her. She turned lightly to look at him, but his face was set, making it unreadable. She finally stepped forward, intent on going to collect the shard that had fallen, but Inuyasha's hand fell to her shoulder, and she stopped abruptly, glancing at him. He still wasn't looking at her though, as his eyes were set on a grove of trees in the distance.
". . .Naraku. . ."
As if on cue, Naraku burst through the trees, high in the sky. His eyes fell to the demon that he had hired, and he motioned towards the shard lying on the ground. It levitated up to him, and he snatched it up quickly, placing it inside of his cloak. He landed in a tree not far from them, eyes set upon the mortal girl who had interfered. Kagome turned her gaze up at him, and for a moment timed seemed to stand still. But then Naraku's voice rang through the air, calm and collected. He wasn't going to let himself loose his cool over this inferior mortal girl, who always seemed to be in the way. "You're a nuisance." He spoke calmly, and then took off again, but not before letting something drop from his hand.
The small glass orb fell from his hand, aimed at Kagome, but she easily sidestepped it, even before Inuyasha could play hero and push her out of the way. The small orb though merely touched the ground, and rolled lightly until it found a tuff of grass that kept it in place.
Kagome took a small step towards it, glancing hesitantly down at the thing. "What do you think it is, Inuya-" She was cut off, as it exploded in a mass of purple gas that filled the air around Kagome.
Sango gasped. "Poison gas!" She moved quickly, covering her mouth with her sleeve and pushing Kagome and herself out of the purple cloud and onto the ground. It evaporated soon after. Inuyasha and Miroku rushed over.
"Are you alright, Lady Kagome?" Miroku knelt down next to Kagome, who was now sitting up. Inuyasha made his way over to Miroku, glancing down at Kagome with narrowed amber orbs.
"What were you thinking Kagome?!"
Kagome glanced up at Inuyasha, her own eyes narrowing. "You think you could show a little concern---" Once again she found herself cut off, this time though as her voice caught in her throat, and she began to cough violently. Sango wasted no time as she stood.
"We have to get her back to Kaede's." She said, and motioned for Inuyasha to carry her. Kagome caught sight of this though.
"No! I'm fine. I can walk. . . " She said softly as she pushed herself to a stand. She wobbled lightly, but was stubborn. Besides, she wasn't about to be carried back to the village by some stubborn hanyou who didn't even seem to be concerned about her. No. She would walk.
Still as she made her way back to the hut, Inuyasha stayed close to her, watching her carefully. Kagome didn't look well. She had already begun to pale, the color slipping from her face, and she seemed to be loosing energy rapidly. It wasn't long before she ended up being carried by Inuyasha after all.

A/N: Interesting, eh? I promise it will be more constructed, and have more plot twists than what it seems it will be at the moment!
And if you elected me as your President, I promise to update hospitals with the newest equipment! Reduce taxes! And include major Inuyasha & Kagome WAFF!!!
