Chapter 4
AN: Okay... So this fic hasn't really been that great of a success... In other words, not very many people have reviewed it, but to you few but loyal fans... Domo... And for those of you who aren't fans... Well, nobody cares about you
"Inu-Yasha! Inu-Yasha!"
"Huh? Kagome?"
"Inu-Yasha! Wake up, Inu-Yasha!"
Inu-Yasha opened his eyes to discover a frantic Kagome crying over him.
"Don't worry, Kagome, I'm fine." Kagome opened her eyes, and almost in disbelief, threw herself on Inu-Yasha. He gave out a sound of pain, but not as much as he actually felt so he could keep his strong appearance. Kagome quickly got off of him with a quick "sorry", and he began to push himself up with his nearby sword and grab for his kimono they used to prop up his head.
"Inu-Yasha, you should rest." Inu-Yasha turned his head in the direction of the familiar voice to see Miroku preparing more medicine. "It's a wonder you pulled through at all."
Inu-Yasha smirked as he tried again to rise to his feat. "It's not like you were much help."
Miroku begins to think back to the battle and recalls Inu-Yasha specifically telling him to stay back. He let's out a small breath of air and continues to fix up some medicine for Inu-Yasha.
Inu-Yasha jabs the end of his sheath back into the ground and tries to push himself up again.
"Here, Inu-Yasha, let me help you." Kagome, and almost automatically Sango, grab Inu-Yasha be either arm and help lift him up, but Inu-Yasha, deciding to be stubborn and not letting anyone help him, shakes them off saying, "get off of me." They let him fall back to the ground.
He reaches for his sword again and tries to haul himself up. This time he succeeds. He begins to button up his kimono, as he tries to support his weight on the sword.
"Here, Inu-Yasha, drink this." Miroku hands him a bull of medicine he just prepared.
"Ah, fine." He takes the bull from Miroku and chugs it all down. Then, as he throws the bull back at Miroku, which the clumsy monk barely gets a hold on before it hits the ground, walks off away from the forest.
'Inu-Yasha' thinks Kagome. "We'll stay here tonight," she suggests. "Inu-Yasha needs to heal up."
They decided to make camp a mile away from the forest, for obvious reasons. Kagome pulls her tent out and orders Miroku to set it up.
Seeing as how she seemed really worried about Inu-Yasha, and he knows better than to get on Kagome's bad side when she upset, he let out a sigh and went to work.
Sango and Kagome began to try and light a fire, as Shippo and Kirara went and gathered wood from a nearby, smaller forest that was broken off from the main forest by a fire that, by the looks of it, only happened one or two years ago.
Kagome and Sango managed to get the fire going just fine, and Shippo and Kirara managed to get the wood with only the trouble of a little squirrel that frightened Shippo. Miroku on the other hand, was having a lot of trouble with the tent, but got it up when everyone pitched in.
Inu-Yasha just sat up on the top of the hill and stared off in the distance, watching the sun go down. Then, he heard a noise coming from behind him. He grabbed his sword with his right hand and reached for the handle with his left (for the noise came from the left) and began to pull it out as he turned to see who or what it was, but it was just Kagome. He slid the tattered, old sword back in its sheath and looked back at the falling sun.
With a little fright to Inu-Yasha taking out his sword, Kagome managed to get out a few words. "What are you thinking about?" she asked him.
He paused for a moment without looking at her, and then he responded, "Nothing."
"You can't just be thinking about nothing. Come on, Inu-Yasha. Tell me what's on your mind." Inu-Yasha began to get a little angered by this.
"I said, 'Nothing' alright. Just leave me alone!" This really upset Kagome, but he didn't realize it until he heard here start crying. He looked over to her with compassionate eyes, realizing how he hurt her, but it was too late; the damage was done.
"Fine! Just be that way!" She got up and began to run back to the others.
Inu-Yasha shouted out to her as she took off.
"Wait! Kagome!" It was no use.
Kagome ran over to a near by tree. She leaned against it with her arm supporting herself, with it raised over her head, resting on the tree. She began to watch the tears fall from her face and hit the ground. The tears seemed to fall slower than they should, as if time was slowing down itself. When the tears hit the ground, they split and dampened the water where they touched. Then, the ground beneath her became covered with someone else's shadow. She looked over to see Inu-Yasha standing up without the help of his sword.
"Listen, Kagome," he began. "I didn't mean anything by it. I'm sorry."
He began to limp away, but Kagome turned around and latched on to him. Being off balance as it was, he could hardly support himself.
"Oh, Inu-Yasha," she said to him softly.
"Let go! Let go! You're going to make me fall over." Soon enough, Inu- Yasha backed into a rock and fell backward. Both him and Kagome, just lied there, staring into each other's eyes.
"Kagome! Inu-Yasha! What are you two doing over there?" shouted Miroku.
They both came out of their daze and immediately began to get a yard away from each other and stand up like nothing happened.
"Uh... Nothing!" they both said at the same time.
After getting themselves back together, Kagome and Inu-Yasha went back to the edge of the cliff. There they watched the sun fall the rest of the way, and talked together until all of the stars were out.
