Chapter 5

They had finally reached the well and Miroku helped Kagome and Inuyasha off her back. "Miroku help me." Kagome grabbed Inuyasha around he waist and drug himto the edge of the well. "Hold on Miroku."

"To what?"

"Me or Inuyasha."

Miroku grabbed Inuyasha's feet as Miroku, and Kagome jumped down the well with Inuyasha. They had finally got to the other side and Miroku helped get Inuyasha out of the well. "Miroku you stay here with Inuyasha I need to get you guys some clothes." Kagome turned on her heal and ran out of the shrine.

"Why do I need different clothes?" Miroku sat down on the steps with Inuyasha resting his head on Miroku's lap. "Poor soul." Miroku shook his head and inspected the wounds on Inuyasha's face. "He loves a woman and then she tries to kill him. Then he finds a new love that will give her life for him even though he treats her horribly. She is so worried about him all the time and I am stupid to think he would touch Sango when he has this beautiful young woman in his world. He needs to swallow his pride. Inuyasha..." Miroku looked down at his freind who was coming around. "Swallow your damnable pride. Kagome loves you and Kikyo wants to kill you. Why do you not run to the living's aid but to the already dead's?"

"I don't...know."

"Wha?" Miroku looked down to see Inuyasha with his eyes open barely. "Did you here what I said?"

"Yes, I heard...everything...unless you said something... that I did right..." Inuyasha had to keep breathing constantly and was flinching everytime he moved.

"Inuyasha, you need to be still. Kagome went to go get us "cool" clothes and she would not want to come back and find you dead."

" Right..." Inuyasha closed his eyes for a moment before he opened them. Night was reaching again and it was the night of the New Moon. Inuyasha looked through the windows and saw the sun set and the sky become deep blue. "Miroku it's happening."

"What's happening?" Miroku suddenly sturck with worry tensed under Inuyasha's head and was ready to fun in the direction Kagome went.

"I am... becoming full....human." Inuyasha's hair began to lift as it tinted darker with every second and his claws began to retract and his fangs grew short.

"Well I guess thats a good thing so when the doctor sees you he won't freak out at your ears." Miroku smiled as Inuyasha frowned. "What is it?"

"With my human body I am weaker and this wound could kill me." Inuyasha closed his eyes as he heard foot steps coming down the stairs.

"How is he Miroku?"

"He is awake but he bacome full human again." Miroku lifted up some of his hair.

"Good this makes the disguise work better."

"Well, he was saying that he could die from this wound since he is weaker now." Miroku stood up and put Inuyasha's head down on the steps.

"Here these are yours. Kagome handed him some blue jeans, a white t-shirt and a red button up short sleeve shirt. "I think this is your size." Kagome turned around to Inuyasha who was breathing very deeply and shakily. "Inuyasha?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you feeling any worse?" Kagome put a damp cloth patting away the dreid blood from his wounds.

"Not now..." Inuyasha reached up and grabed Kagomes wrist as she dabbed at the dreid blood on his neck. He took the cloth from her hand and put it on his forehead. "I'm sorry Kagome."

"Wha?" Kagome was dumbfounded. What was happening? "For what?"

"Being mean to you and putting you through hell when you want to come home. I'm sorry." Inuyasha reached his left arm and brought it around kagome's waist and brought ehr down to him. He could feel her heart against his beating very fast. He moved some hair from her ear. "Kagome, I don't want Kikyo.... I want you..." He kissed her temple and relaxed back into his spot.

Kagome was so taken aback that she forgot he was hurt. "Inuyasha." Kagome kissed his cheek, hard, and heard him wince. "Oh, sorry." She pulled back and saw Miroku standing there, looking quite good, watching them.

"Yes I did see the whole thing." Miroku grabbed Inuyasha's clothes as he carried him behind the well. Kagome stood to give them privacy and walked out the door.

"So you finally swallowed your pride eh?"

"I don't think I could have if I was Hanyou."

"Here." Miroku helped Inuyasha into a pair of black pants, a red t shirt and a black button up t-shirt with shirt sleevs to go over it. "There, good enough." Miroku helped Inuyasha stand as they opened the door Kagome came around the corner in a black Kimono with red sakura blossoms on it. "Okay guys " Kagome slowed her sentence as Inuyasha looked at her. Damn he was hot she thought. She was ready to jump him but had to restrain her self.

"Miroku, is there something wrong with me?" Inuyasha smelled her passion for him in that instant and it warmed his very core.

"No but I think there is with Kagome."

"Oh, sorry. Okay we were at a party and decided to walk home. We were walking by the archery range and seen Miroku as we crossed over to see him and someone shot you in the back. They ran away and we couldn't see them as they were in all black. Okay?"

"Got it." Inuyasha nodded as Miroku put him on his back.

"Let's go."

"Wait!" Kagome grabbed Miroku's arm as he almost took off. "No one here can run as fast as you and then they will things are up. We need to call a cab." Kagome walked over to the street sign at the bottom of the stairs and whistled and rose her hand in the air. Almost immediatly a cab stobbed and picked them up.

"Where to Miss?"

"The hospital. My friend here was shot at the archery range."

"Why didn't you say so?" The driver put a little siren on his dash board and sped off to the hosptial. Twently minutes later we got there and jumped out and ran into the emergency wing.

"We need help!" Kagome shouted. She ran to the desk and briefed the nurse.

"Okay honey bring him this way." Miroku drug Inuyasha into the hosptial room.

"What't the case?" A surgeon walked up next to us and I breifed him as we walked into Inuyasha's room. "Alright we will work on him. There is a 10 percent chance we won't make it. It seemed to heal a bit on it's own." The doctor scooted Miroku and Kagome out the door and shut the blinds.

Two Hours Later....

"Miss, Sir?" The doctor walked out and stood before Kagome.

"Well, how is he?"

"Well,...." The doctor looked down.
