Chapter 15

Kagome waited by the tree until Miroku came out of the hut. I just hope she's ok,she thought. I don't want her to leave.

"How is she?"asked Kagome.

"She's getting better,"he said.

"That's good. Where's Shippou?"

"He's taking care of Sango. And so is Kirara."

"Oh that's good. You really should get some sleep Miroku. You've had a hard night,"her eyes then moved her to his shoulder,which was bleeding.

"Miroku...you're shoulder. It's bleeding..."

He moved his head. "Oh this thing? It's nothing to worry about." He let out a groan and fell to the ground.

"Miroku!"yelled Inuyasha. "Oh god. He's shoulder's messed up."

"I'll talk care of him,"said Kagome.

"Are you sure? You took care of Sango."

"I'll be fine. You go get some sleep Inuyasha. You earned it."

"Thank you Kagome." He moved over and their lips met.

"You're welcome Inuyasha. Shippou's taking care of Sango."

"Good. I wonder what had happened to him. I think Kohaku scared him off."

"At least he's ok."

"Yeah."

"Well,I had better take care of Miroku." She tried to carry him,but he was too heavy.

"You sure you don't need help?"

"Well...maybe a little."

"Here. Let me carry him into the hut for you. You should get some sleep too Kagome. You've been helping a lot."

"I got my sleep Inuyasha. I haven't been fighting. You have,and you should get some sleep. You really earned it Inuyasha."

"Here you go,"he said as he laid Miroku down on the bed.

"Thank you Inuyasha."

"Do mention it. Shippou,how's Sango?"

"She's doing better,"said Shippou.

"That's good." He moved his head to Kagome. "Are you going to be ok?"

She smiled. "I told you before Inuyasha,I'm going to be fine."

"Ok. I just wanted to make sure,"and he left the hut.
