SOOOOO SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG TO UPDATE!! REALLY!!!

So heres the new chapter.

I OWN NOTHING... Juss so u know.

-.- Chapter seven -.- The Aftermath -.-

Kagome woke up slowly to nothing but a pounding head, and a throbing side. Around her, she could faintly hear people talking. She didnt even bother trying to sit up, let alone open her eyes. She just stayed still and relaxed, listing to all the converstations around her. Behind her head, she could hear her brother Sota talking with Karri.

"Are you sue youre okay?" Karri asked.

"I'm fine Karri. Really." Sota assured her, even though he wanted to be able to believe that himself.

"Do you want anything? Hungry? Thirsty?" she asked. You could tell she was still scared about what had happended eariler. But once again, Sota turned down her help and offers. All he wanted was for Kagome to wake up.

Kagome then heard arguing from infront of her.

She quickly switiched conversations. Its sounded as though someone was questioning two other people, but the two werent giving up and would say anything that the first person wanted to know. It sounded like Matt, Koga and InuYasha.

"What was that?!" Matt demanded.

"It was absoulutly nothing." InuYasha said forcefully, trying to get him to stop yelling. The glares that always worked with Miroku and Shippo just didnt seem to work with this guy.

"InuYasha's right. It was only soemthing that you need to forget." Koga said. Matt was really starting to get on his nerves with all of the questions.

"Something I need to forget?!" Matt yelled. Kagome couldnt take it. She slowly sat up, one hand on her head, wanting to know what was going on. "Dont tell me I need to forget something! I saw that - that - thing - fly into her hip! Tell me what it was!" he demanded.

"It was nothing kid. Now shut up and relax before you wake her up and give her a worse headache then she'll already have." InuYasha growled, letting the concealing spell on his fangs drop for a moment for good measure.

"To late." Kagome said quietly but loud enough for everyone to notice. "Hey guys."

"You feeling okay Kagome?" Matt asked, rushing to her side with Karri right behind him.

"I've had worse."

Both Koga and InuYasha snortted at her awnser, and would have laughed a bit if it wasnt for Matt's glare that promissed a slow death.

"Do you want anything? Water?" Karri asked, holding onto one of her hands.

"No thanks... You guys go relax." she said, smiling at her worried cousins. karri nodded, and went into the kitchen to go help the older wemon with the food, but Matt didnt leave as fast. He glance from Kagome to Koga and InuYasha. "Matt." kagome said firmly. "Go relax." with one last glance, he slowly got up and left, shutting the living room door behind him.

"You okay Kagome?" Koga asked, sitting down beside her on the couch, InuYasha sitting on the other side.

"I'm okay. My head just hurts."

"Its supposed to. Naraku threw you onto the concrete pretty hard. But the jewel will take care of that. Just dont move around for a while, you might pass out." InuYasha said. "You have the jewel back in your hip, and Sota only has some scratches. I took care of that. Now lets see your hands."

Kagome gave him her hands, and when he touched them, they tingled slightly.

"They're gonna hurt for a while." he told her, pulling something out of his pocket. "Fires one of those elements that wont hurt you when you sure it, but as some nasty aftermath to it. So, just keep this wrap on them until around noon tomorrow, okay?" he asked, using what looked like boxing tape to tape up her hands from her second knuckle to just under her elbow.

"Okay." she said once he was done.

"And in about two hours, take the wrap off Sota's neck and re-wrap it in this." Koga said, handing her white bandages. "Some of his miasma might have gotten through, but the wrap will help get it out before midnight. Okay?"

"Okay. Thanks guys." she smiled at them.

"Well, I gotta go. I'll be around, see ya later Kagome." Koga said, standing up. "Mutt." he glared at InuYasha.

"Wolf." InuYasha said back with a glare of his own.

"Bye Koga." and he left.

"So... you two still arent friends are you?" she asked InuYasha.

"Not even close." he said with a smile. "But I have to go too. I'll aee ya around, 'kay?"

"Alright." she smiled at him.

"Night Kagome." he said, and kissed her forehead.

"Night InuYasha." and he was gone.

Kagome layed back down, and softly touched where he had kissed her, and soon fell back asleep.
