Chapter 19
Bad time to visit Kagome
Kouga was at the village gates and the guards saw Kagome and immediately said "Take her to her hut! We'll get help." Kouga nodded but Kagome refused. "Just take me to my hut to rest." Kouga was a little confused, but of course he listened to Kagome and brought her to the hut.
"Kagome! Are you alright?" Sango shouted
"Kagome, your arm and leg is badly wounded, we need to treat them." Miroku explained
Shippo went towards her when Kouga let her down. "Kagome what happened?"
"That stupid clay pot was trying to kill Kagome, Kagome was about to kill her but... Inuyasha broke Kagome's jaw with a punch." Kouga was getting mad quickly at Inuyasha and Kikyou
Sesshomaru stood up and looked at her and the others got out of the way. "You're foolish women to have ever loved my stupid half-breed brother. Now they have to treat you, but we will return to the castle soon." He said cold and Kagome just laughed a little but the pain hurt. Sesshomaru was leaving the hut. "Sesshomaru, where the hell do you think your going?" Kouga stood up. "None of your concern wolf, stay with the women" he gave Kouga a sharp eye and it made Kouga's hairs stick up as he left.
Miroku attended to the wound on her leg and Sango attended her arm. "Her leg is broken Sango" She looked to Miroku "her arm is broken too." Kagome just laughed in pain again. "Who cares, I don't feel a thing!" she whispered to where they can here "I can tell you're not in much pain because you can still talk with a broken jaw" Kouga plainly said it as if it wasn't a bad thing.
Sesshomaru came out of the village and looked around. He walked to the place where he smells Kagome's blood; he came across two main places and he had cringed his nose the very slightest. Behind him, about 10 yards was Kikyou getting ready to shoot his back. She released the arrow and Sesshomaru heard it and moved out of the way and came right in front of Kikyou. "Stupid dead pot, you should know better than attack one who's paying attention." He grabbed her neck and raised her high. Inuyasha came from behind Sesshomaru 'perfect, just as planned'. Sesshomaru turned around and blocked the sword attack by using Kikyou as a shield. "Ki-Kikyou, what have a done!?"
Kikyou was now one of the dead now and not the living dead. One blue soul went around Inuyasha and circled him a few times, and then did the same to Sesshomaru but he trapped it with one hand and was going to the village. "Sesshomaru, what are you doing with that soul?" "Giving it to the women it belongs to she's too weak without it. To let you know... I bet that if father was alive... He would be disappointed in you as well as your filthy human mother is." He said walking away; he didn't care because he was right and he knew it.
'Maybe that will get him to think, he's a fucking disgrace to our family.' 'Then why didn't you kill him?' 'Because...' 'You don't want to break Kagome's heart?' 'Shut up' 'Man, why can't you admit it already? You know you like her, your treating her like she treated Inuyasha' 'Didn't I just say shut up?' 'Maybe. Maybe not, I forgot' 'get lost' 'where? I'm you' 'will you shut up already!?!?!?' 'Okay, seesh, you don't make a scene' 'Grr' He shook his head a little to get control again. He hated talking and arguing with himself.
He arrived to the hut and released the soul. It went back to Kagome and she was a little stronger. "Sesshomaru... she can't leave... she needs to stay... until her wounds are healed." Miroku shuddered to say this to Sesshomaru. "Just 2 to 6 weeks should do it" Sango said to Sesshomaru. Kouga still wanted to kill Inuyasha and the pot. He was in a corner around Kagome's head. Shippo was lying on her chest with his ear near her heart so he knew she would be fine. Sesshomaru didn't really want to move Kagome much because her few broken bones. "You humans will stay to heal her. I'm going back to my castle." He walked out the door and Rin came running in. "Kagome!" "Come Rin, leave her be." Sesshomaru said when Rin bolted in. Rin followed Sesshomaru and walked away to the castle. Inuyasha was downwind of the hut so no one could smell him.
'Kagome I'm so sorry, I want to talk to you so badly'
Inuyasha was feeling so bad. He knew that what Kouga and Sesshomaru were right, and Miroku said practically the same thing two months ago. The words Kouga said to Inuyasha kept going through his mind, replaying itself over and over.
Flashback
She walked away from him and the other two, but Kouga followed her. Inuyasha was starting to also follow her. "STAY AWAY FROM HER YOU BASTARD! YOU'VE ENOUGH YOU THINK!" Kouga shouted that straight in his face "I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING, SHE REMOVED THE NECKLACE, I DIDN'T TELL HER TO!" he shouted back. "IT'S NOT THE NECKLACE! IT'S THE FACT THAT YOU HATE HER BEING AROUND YOU!" "I NEVER SAID THAT" "SHUT UP YOU STUPID MUTT! YOU HURT KAGOME, YOU LIED ABOUT PROCTECTING HER, YOU ABUSED HER, AND YOU COMPLETELY BROKE HER HEART! FEMALES ARE SENSITIVE UNLIKE YOUR COLD BLOODED POT!" Inuyasha was going to yell at him, but he was telling the truth. "I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE ACTUALLY DOESN'T CARE WHAT ALL YOU HAVE DONE TO HER JUST FOR YOU TO BE HAPPY! AND SHE EVEN DIED FOR YOU TOO!?!?" Inuyasha only nodded "You're a disgrace to both humans and demons. She does so much, and gets less in return... You're a fool Inuyasha... a real fool" Kouga walked away from him to help Kagome get to the village by picking her up bridal style with her sword back in it sheath.
End Flashback
"Kouga was right; I am a disgrace to mankind. To both humans... and demons." He was taking it hard. He hit someone that he loved, just because he wanted to protect an old love. "Please forgive me, Kagome" He sat in the tree all day and night, Kouga had left the next day to be with his pack. Kagome was awake and wanted to go and do her job of protecting the village. "Kagome don't be foolish, your not even healed." Sango tried make her lay back down. "Mommy you got to heal first, then attend to them" Shippo was being serious again like he once was with Inuyasha. "Kagome, your not leaving this hut" Miroku plainly stated. "I... don't care what you people say, my job is to help this hut, so I will make sure all is okay" she finally got up from the help of her sword. "I don't care how badly my wounds are, they're nothing to me. I'm stronger now let me through." She said going out of the hut. "Miroku let's follow her, please?" Sango pleaded "Don't worry, I was intending to." They both got up and followed about 6feet away from Kagome.
Kagome struggled hut to hut seeing if everyone was okay. "Lady Kagome, my wife is bleeding again." The same man said once again. Kagome heard him and limped towards his hut. She tried to bend down but it hurt a lot so Miroku and Sango helped her. She didn't want the help and she used it. Inuyasha was watching her ever since she came out of the hut. He stayed unnoticed the whole day.
Every night she seemed to be in pain, he didn't know why. It's been 2 weeks and she is still in a bad condition. Sesshomaru came to take a look and left to his castle. Inuyasha was getting annoyed at the fact that he was the one who helped her get in this condition. He wanted to talk to her still but he couldn't, not with Miroku and the others around.
The village kids seemed fond of her and it looked like they would come almost every day to come see how she was. Sometimes in the morning some of the villagers would follow her. They liked her being around. Inuyasha saw Kagome giving a flower to a little girl that he thought looked like her.
'Very soon I will talk to you... my... Kagome'
