Hello! I am back! And first of all, I want to thank all of you who reviewed!!!! It means so much to me, because then I know that I'm doing a good job and that people are enjoying my writing. So, thank you moon smurf, Rob, pink twilight, starhopper, and Yun Fei! I think it's really nice of you guys to take the time to give me confidence! I will try to update quickly, cause I have a few chapters written out but I need to proofread them. Still, I should be able to get the next chapter after this one out soon so please check it out! And keep reviewing, I need to know how I'm doing!

"KAGOME!"
Inuyasha crashed though the trees and brush and came upon the pool. He stopped dead in his tracks and was in shock of the view before him. There Kagome lay on a rock, half in the water. Her blood was all over her back, on the rocks, and quickly threading its way to the other end of the spring. Dark red water. How much blood had she lost? Inuyasha was numb, but somehow made his way to her side, and took off his red shirt and covered her with it as he pulled her out of the spring. She was still alive! She could make it... but he had to get her to Kaede immediately.
Miroku came clashing through the bushes next, followed by Sango, Shippo, and Kiara.
"What has happened Inuyasha?!" Miroku asked urgently when he saw the scene that lay before him.
"I don't know... she was in the spring when I found her.." Inuyasha's voice was tight. "Sango, can I borrow Kiara? I need to get her to Kaede right away. She won't last much longer if she doesn't get help at once."
"Right. Hurry as fast as you can Kiara," she said to the little cat. Kiara transformed with a small growl of understanding and Inuyasha climbed onto her back with Kagome in his lap.
"You guys can follow us on foot. See you then," Inuyasha called as Kiara took off. His heart was in his throat. He began to berate himself for being so stupid. If he hadn't fought with Kagome she never would have gone off by herself, and this never would have happened. He looked down at her pale face. Even though she was unconscious, she still held a look of pain. He felt another stab in his heart.
"Hurry Kiara."
Kiara growled and flew as fast as she could. Inuyasha pulled Kagome closer so she wouldn't be cold. He could feel her blood still leaking out from his shirt onto his hands.
'Who could have done this? Why? Whoever it was, I will track him down. Damn it, I swear I will kill him, I will tear him into pieces..."
~~~~*~*~*~~~~
Kaede's village was soon in view and Kiara landed by her hut. Inuyasha jumped off and ran into the hut with Kagome and laid her down on a mat. Kaede was cooking something in the fire and looked up.
"Inuyasha, it is ye. How are--" But she stopped when she saw Inuyasha's ghostly expression and Kagome laying unconscious with blood already staining the mat.
"Kaede, you gotta help her." Inuyasha could barely get out the words.
Kaede got right to work and told Inuyasha to find some special herbs that help serious wounds to heal, while she tried to stop the bleeding. He looked reluctant to leave Kagome's side, but realized his actions meant life or death for her and quickly left to find the herbs as fast as possible.
~~~~*~*~*~~~~
When he came back Kaede had bandaged up Kagome's wound and had dressed her in a fresh kimono. Kaede took the herbs Inuyasha had gathered and began preparing them. Inuyasha went straight to Kagome's side and looked at her. Her face was still white, but she looked more peaceful now, and the bleeding had stopped.
"She has lost a lot of blood, Inuyasha. Please tell me what happened. How did she come to be inflicted with such a wound?"
"I -- if I had been there..." Inuyasha felt a wave of guilt wash over him.
"Kagome was alone? So ye do not know who her attacker was. Did ye and her have a fight Inuyasha?" Kaede asked gently.
"Yes. She saw me and--- She stormed off into the woods, and I let her go."
"Forgive me for asking, by why did Kagome have no clothes on except for your shirt?"
Inuyasha blushed, but quickly assured Kaede, "She was in a hot springs that was near our camp. When I got there she was already like this, with... her blood all over the pool... " he choked up.
"I see."
How different Inuyasha was now, all because of this strange little girl. He was nearly beside himself. Kaede saw the guilt in his eyes and how distraught he was. She guessed Kikyo had been the fuel of the argument between them. Kaede didn't want to mention it while Inuyasha was in a state like this, but Kagome's wound was exactly like the one inflicted on Kikyo fifty years ago.
