Yasha hit the ground face first with a dull thud. Kagome rolled her over and put her head on Yasha's chest. She picked up on an irregular heart beat and Yasha's breathing seemed too rapid to Kagome. Inu Yasha ran over to her side.
"What happened?" He asked.
"I don't know. She just passed out. Inu Yasha we got to get back and talk to Kaede. I have a feeling that this arrow has something to do with Yasha's condition. I don't think that this was one of Kikyo's sealing arrows." Kagome said as she picked up the arrow. It pulsated with the same purple colour as the mark on Yasha.
YASHA'S POV
I opened my eyes to find myself surrounded by a bright purple light. Looking down I noticed I wasn't wearing anything.
"Kyaaaa. Where the hell are my clothes?" I yelled and tried to cover up. That was when I noticed the vivid purple markings on my arms and legs. Hmmm I remember Mother telling me something about these markings. Now what was it? I thought as I floated around in the light. Oh yeah. Mamma told me that whenever my Youkai blood surfaces these marking would appear and the older I get the darker the marks. Hmm but why would they appear now and in different places normally I just get them on my face. I pondered. Suddenly a blurry figured appeared before me. "Who the hell are you?" I yelled at them.
"So a hanyou did take the arrow." The figure said. "Why?"
"Because I…I…I didn't want Kagome to get hurt." I finally blurted out.
"Why?" The figured asked again.
"Because I know how much my brother loves her and if she was to die or get badly hurt it would hurt him deeply."
"So you took the arrow for her?" I nodded. "That was a noble sacrifice but not without a cost. The arrow Kikyo fired was supposed to trap Kagome's soul with in her body right at the spot where the arrow hit until Kikyo could retrieve it but since you took that arrow the results of that soul containment are shall I say slightly different." The figure said.
"What do you mean different?" I asked.
"Since you're a hanyou you have two blood lines running through your body."
"So?" I snapped. I was starting to get really annoyed with this figure.
"That means the arrow is going to seal up your…."
END YASHA POV
(A/N this takes place while Yasha's is out of it.)
KAGOME'S POV
I watched Inu Yasha run off towards the shrine. I told him to leave me and Yasha here because I didn't want to move her until I had to so I told him to go see if the well was working and if it was to come and get me. I put my hand to Yasha's head. Damn her temperature dropped again. I thought. Since Yasha passed out I noticed that her temperature kept dropping. It didn't help when the crowd of kids around me kept asking me stupid questions either. All my attention was focused on Yasha at that moment.
"So are your friends' freaks or just plain weird?" A kid asked. I turned to the crowd.
"Back off and leave me the hell alone. Just get lost all of you." I yelled. "I'm so sick of you guys. My friend could be dieing and all you're doing is asking stupid questions." The crowd thinned out a bit. Inu Yasha came back and landed gracefully on the ground beside me. He wrapped his arms around me waist and I knew I was blushing from the heat in my face.
"Shh. It's ok now. The well is opened. I found a sealing charm on the other side and I think the others had something to do with that but Kikyo must have removed it. Let's get Yasha home." He said. I nodded and he picked up Yasha and kneeled down in front of me. I climbed on his back and after making sure I wouldn't fall of he headed towards the shrine.
END KAGOME POV
(A/N Normal POV) Inu Yasha made to the shrine in record time. Kagome ran inside to get her yellow bag and met Inu Yasha in the well house.
"Let's go." She said. Inu Yasha nodded and with Yasha still in his arms he jumped in the well followed by Kagome. Once on the other side he left Kagome get on his back and he took off towards Kaede's. Once there Kagome jumped off Inu Yasha's back and ran to get Kaede. On the way in she ran into Shippo.
"Kagome…your back….." He stuttered.
"I know what you three did but right now I need Kaede for something very important." Kagome gasped. Shippo picked up on that something was wrong.
"Kagome what's wrong?" He asked as he followed Kagome.
"It's Yasha. Something is wrong." Kagome answered. Just then she saw Kaede with Sango and Miroku. "KAEDE!" Kagome yelled and waved.
"Kagome-sama." Miroku said. "What is the matter?"
"It's Yasha." Kagome gasped. "Please help her." Kaede nodded and led the way to her hut where Inu Yasha had put Yasha. They arrived to find Yasha still passed out but she was curled in a tight ball. Her face was scrunched up in pain. She was constantly shivering. Inu Yasha was missing his kimono top which was wrapped around Yasha. Kaede went over to her and put a hand to her forehead.
"She's freezing. Quickly Miroku light a fire." She said and Miroku nodded and lit one right away. "Now what happened?" Kagome told her the whole story.
"I brought this back with us." Kagome said and held up the arrow. Kaede took the arrow.
"This wasn't meant to hit Yasha was it?" She asked. Kagome shook her head. "I see. I'm sorry but there is nothing I can do for Yasha right now." Kaede said. "The best thing to do now is try and make her comfortable."
It was a long night. No one sleep that night expect for Shippo. He curled up on Yasha's chest (A/N stop thinking those dirty thoughts right now). It was about 4 in the morning when Yasha weakly opened one eye then the other. She forced herself to sit up. Ugh I feel like I was run over by a Youkai. She thought and moaned as something rolled off of her. Looking down she saw Shippo now curled up in her lap. Everyone else had finally fallen asleep do to exhaustion. Inu Yasha heard the soft moan and open his eyes to see Yasha sitting up breathing heavily. He jumped to his feet and knocked the kitsune flying.
"Itai don't do that." Yasha winced and before she could do anything Inu Yasha tossed Miroku out the door.
"Stay there." He said and went back to Yasha. "Take it off."
"NANI?" she asked puzzled. Inu Yasha sighed and ripped Yasha's kimono top off plus her white under kimono. "Kyaaaa what the hell… ITIA!" she hollered as Inu Yasha ran a finger over the spot on her back where the arrow had hit. He also notice the vivid purple markings on her arms and back. He went in front of her; she had her arms over her chest, and saw the markings on her back wrapped over her chest and stomach area too. The matched the markings on her face perfectly. He notice the gash and her shoulder that hadn't fully healed. Inu Yasha gabbed Shippo by the tail.
"Fix that." He said and left. Sango looked over and saw the back of Yasha.
What are those? She wonder.
"Oi Sango you're awake too?" Yasha asked as Kagome bound her wound.
"Hai."
"Is there anything left of my kimono top?" She asked. Sango looked at the shredded material.
"Iie gomen." She replied.
"Damn him." Yasha said.
Outside Inu Yasha was trying to keep Miroku from going back inside.
"Knock it off leach." He said and bopped Miroku on the head. Just the girls exited the hut. Yasha had on a miko outfit.
"Don't say anything Inu Yasha because if you hadn't ripped my top to shreds I wouldn't have to wear this." She hissed. Miroku looked and Inu Yasha with a perverted smile.
"You ripped your sister's top to shreds?" He said.
*SMACK*
*WHACK*
*SMACK*
Poor Miroku was almost knocked unconscious. Yasha had her sleeve rolled up so she could whack him again.
"What are those?" He asked, pointing to the markings. Yasha looked at the marks.
"These are my Youkai markings and before you ask no I don't know why their there." She answered. Kaede exited the hut at that moment.
"I might have the answer to that question." She said.
