I don't own inuyasha

Kagome and Sango woke earlier than the boys did so they decided to take a walk.

"How do you think Kagura is going to help us, Kagome?" Sango asked her.

"I'm not sure. Maybe she knows something secret about Naraku that could help us defeat him." She answered.

"That may be." Sango said.

"I hope so anyway." Kagome told her.

They walked and talked for some while. By the time the two of them ran out of things to talk they had reached back to the guest house they all slept in.

Inuyasha and Miroku were just waking up from their long rested sleep. "Hey guys! You're just now waking up?" Kagome blurted out.

"Ya. So, what about it? When did you guys get up anyway?" Inuyasha asked.

"It was really early. We already took a walk..." Sango told them.

"I see. And did you ladies sleep well?" Miroku questioned.

Inuyasha sighed, "Do you always have to be like that?"

"We were quite all right, thank you." Sango answered, ignoring Inuyasha's comment.

"Where's Kaede? Isn't she supposed to come and get us?" Kagome said.

"I'm not sure. She should've been here by now. Maybe we should go to her house and see if she's there." Sango told them.

"Okay. Let's go." Inuyasha agreed.

As they traveled to find the woman, they didn't talk. When they arrived they found everything torn apart. "What happened here!? Shouldn't you guys have seen it when you were taking your walk?" Inuyasha exclaimed.

"We didn't go through this part of the village. We went on the other side." Kagome said calmly.

"We should take a look around. Let's hope Kaede escaped before they got here." Inuyasha instructed.

They looked in all the rubble of where her house had been standing just the night before.

They looked under broken walls lying on the floor, they looked all around, and finally found Kaede under a heap of junk.

"I found her!" Sango yelled to the others.

They ran to where Sango was leaning over her.

"It looks like she's hurt." Kagome said.

"Unconscious too." Miroku added.

"Isn't there a nurse or healer somewhere in the village?" Sango asked.

"Ya. Her name is Nissel. She lives up the road." Inuyasha responded. "I'll carry her and you guys follow me."

He picked up the old and wounded woman lying on the floor and immediately headed toward the healer. Do you think she'll be okay?" Kagome questioned, clearly concerned for the poor lady.

"I hope so." Inuyasha answered quickly, "We're almost there, just around the corner."

As they turned at the corner they could see Nissel's house. It had a sign hanging out in the front above the door. There were vines twisting up toward the sky all around the house. It was just a plain white color on the outside.

When they entered they saw a desk with a bell on the end. There were many papers scattered on the desk, covering the whole top surface. The house, from what they saw, was very unorganized. The walls were a pale blue and the carpet was an old rusty brown. She probably never had the time to change it. The room was full of light coming from lamps all around the room. She had to have good light, of course, she was a nurse. They needed to be able to see the patients. There was another table with drawers under it. The table had tools laying over most of it. They guessed it was probably where she kept here tools at. Next to that there was a small bed, where the sick and wounded would lay. Kagome thought of how many people have probably laid on it. It was a scary thought.

Kagome went ahead of the others and rang the bell twice. After waiting for an answer that didn't come, she rang it a third time.

There was a muffled voice coming from down the hall, "... I'm coming! Hold on."

A few seconds later the nurse appeared at the end of the hall. "I'm quite sorry about that. I was working in the back and couldn't here the bell very well. I need to get a louder one. Oh, I just kept rambling on and on don't I? How may I be of service to you all?"

"Our friend's house was torn apart by someone and we found her among what was left of it. We think she may be hurt." Miroku spoke for them.

"Come here, dear. Lay her down on the bed." She told Inuyasha, by pointing to him.

He obeyed, laying her gently on the bed.

She hardly even looked at her before she said, "Indeed. You were right my lad. She is hurt. Whoever the attacker was, they meant to kill her."

"Kill her!? You can tell already?" Kagome asked in a worried tone, "Will she be all right?"

"Now, now child. She will be fine." There came a sigh of relief from Kagome, "I'm not going to say it will be easy, because it won't, but Nissel can fix anything. Trust me. I've seen much worse than this. Yes. She will be fine."

Sango said, "Good. We wouldn't want anything to happen to her."

"I will begin my work now, because it will take some time. She has a few broken bones, which I will be able to fix easily enough. But there are some things I need to cure from the inside, with my magic. It was my gift, magic was. I was born with it, so I decided to use it for the good of my people. Although I have not used it on many, I will be honored to be able to use it to heal one such as her. She and I were always good friends. And still are. Well, I've said enough. You may see her later when I'm finished. I'll come and get you.

"Thank you so much Nissel." Kagome told her.

"What should we do now?" Inuyasha asked impatiently.

"Well it's only 12:00 now, and Kagura isn't coming until later this afternoon, so we probably should go get some lunch. We haven't had breakfast yet either." Miroku answered.

"That sounds good. Let's get some food." Inuyasha said, "I'm starving."

Once they found some food they sat down and talked while they ate. "I wonder who could've done something like that. I wonder who would want to do something like that." Sango told the others, taking another bite of her sandwich.

"Me either. That was just plain mean, to do that to and older lady who can't defend herself as well as we can." Kagome said, agreeing.

"Maybe they wanted something she had. Something important. Or maybe she knew something and they wanted to know or stop her from telling anyone." Miroku added.

"I not sure why they did it, but I think I have a pretty good idea of did do it." Inuyasha said, confidently.

"Who is that? Kagome and Sango asked in unison.

"Naraku." He hissed.
