Disclaimer: Me no own, you no sue.

Just a quick note: I put up the summary for a new fic I'm gonna put up when I finish this one. That is IF I get any REVIEWs. Please check it out. The title is Kagome: A Modern Day Soap Opera. It's a parody of all soap operas, by the way. I'd just like to know whether I should write up the main outline or completely trash the idea. R&R please! ^_^

Chappy 11: Awake

The spirit detectives kept looking from the youkai, which was now dust from Kagome's purification powers, to Kagome herself. To the youkai. And back to Kagome.

The first to break out of the pattern was Kurama who smelled Kagome's blood and immediately was snapped back to action. He quickly turned her over, for after grabbing whatever that shiny thing was she fainted flat on her stomach. He lifted her shirt so that her stomach showed. When he saw the gaping wound he physically winced. It was caked in the dirt that served as the floor of the wellhouse.

"We have to wash all of this dirt off before the infection spreads." The other two demons reacted quickly. Yukina made chunks of ice above the wound and Hiei used his fire powers to heat it so there was warm, flowing water pouring over the wound like a waterfall.

Once all of the dirt was washed away, Kurama summoned the seed of a healing plant to his hand and after placing it in the center of the gash he used his youki to make it grow. Several medium sized leaves sprang up and covered her injury like a bandage.

Kagome soon woke up to the smell of roses. 'Mmm. I love roses,' surprisingly was her first thought. She opened her eyes and was unable to greet the shock of seeing her new friends in the wellhouse, for it was quickly replaced by the memories of why she was here in the first place. "Inuyasha!" she yelled out. The others stared at her in surprise. Kurama, for some odd reason, felt a small pang of jealousy.

She tried to get up, but was held down by one of Kurama's hands. She narrowed her eyes and unconsciously sent out a thin coating of purification energy around her body. Kurama's hand snapped back in surprise. She took her chance and, faster than most ningen in her condition, scampered to the well and jumped, holding her stomach.

Unfortunately, she failed to realize that the two Shikon shards had fallen out of her hands. Kurama and Hiei each grabbed one in midair. They stared at them for a moment, mentally shrugged, and pocketed them (their reasoning being Kagome seemed to have destroyed the youkai to get these shards. They don't realize these are parts of the Shikon no Tama), then jumped in the well after Kagome. They, too, were surrounded by those purple-blue lights.

Back in the wellhouse Yusuke muttered, "What the-" then proceeded to attempt jumping down the well after the others, but was stopped by Botan's voice. "What is it now, Botan?"

"Yusuke, there's no telling how deep that well is, or whether it will work for everyone. If you jump, you could be injured. Or, for all we know, this well could be bottomless. Trust Kurama and Hiei. They can take care of Kagome."

"So we're just supposed to wait here for the shrimp and Kurama?" asked Kuwabara.

"That's exactly what we're going to do," Botan said firmly. They didn't argue.

AN: I know this is kind of short, but it just felt right ending it here. Besides, this is my third update this week, and the last one was pretty long.

Before I respond to my new REVIEWs, I'd just like to say: I feel so loved! Everyone wants me to update^.^

READ THIS*********Hey! Guess what? I just counted and I have 25 REVIEWERs and 59 REVIEWs! I'll update once I get up to 70, or at least kinda close to it. I want a nice, round, even number. You can even flame about this being so short!^.^

REVIEWer Responses:

Helen: I was a little confused while writing it, so I can see how you got confused reading it. As long as u got the point.

Kagome11492: What do u mean chappy 10 was short? It was my longest one yet.

DumbAssPunk: thanx! I just had to put that ugly thing in there. At first I was going to have Inu by himself with the whole 'I'm just happy to be like her brother' attitude, but SilentDark, one of my most supportive REVIEWers wanted the role of his gf, sooo. Oh yeah! As u can see, everyone (except kenshin people and SilentDark) will meet each other in the next chappy. And it will be at least twice as long as this one, if I'm lucky.

Xianghua: I'm not sure whether you would call it a big part. In superhero terms, in my fic they're both kinda like sidekicks. But even if they're not major characters, they're still gonna have important roles. Miroku's might be considered a little more important, but I don't want to spoil anything!

Artemis the Goddess: Glad u like everything!^_^
