Chapter 6

Sango came out of the bushes with Kirara. "Shippo, Inuyasha, what's wrong? Where's Kag…" she didn't get to finish for she saw her laying the dead. "No she can't be dead! Miroku, come here, quick!" She said as she ran towards the young women and two kids. "What happened?!" She asked, and Shippo explained because Inuyasha was in pain of seeing Kagome like this and having to tell what happened again.

"Sango, what's wrong?!" He ran beside her and she went to hug him.
"I think Kagome is dead." She said in a low voice in his ears. Miroku went to check Kagome's pulse.
"There's a very, VERY slow pulse. Rap her in a blanket and put her on Kirara and we will go to Kaede's village to her hut, maybe she can help. I can't really look at her wounds where they are placed, she would kill me." He explained.
"Fine, let's hurry!" They wrapped her in the blanket and took off.

Inuyasha is safe from that demon, so I am happy. He seems so cute when he's a little boy. He is filled with such innocence. Now I understand why he has such a bad attitude to everyone. The others never liked him because of what he is, how come they never wait to know who he is?

The demons and humans both bully him because they don't understand. But some of them are nice, like the woman who gave him clothes, she knew he was a half demon just looking at him but didn't care. I wish the world was like that; not judging people of what they are, they should judge who they are.

Like in that one village, with Jenegi. They hated him because they thought he was killing people. But instead, Jenegi was the one who killed the demon. After that all the villagers respected him. I hope he's happy, and his mother to.

But one question is going through my mind… why am I in such a dark place right now? Where am I? That's right… that weasel demon attacked me! Am I dead... Is this a dream? What's going on around here? What's happening to me!?

Wait… what's that noise?
"Kagome, wake up!" The voice said
who is that… it sounds… familiar…
"Kagome! Please wake up! I'm sorry I followed you out, please wake up!" The voice spoke.
That sounds like… Inuyasha? What's wrong?
"Inuyasha, you must leave the hut, Kagome can't hear us anymore." Another voice said
"Leave me alone, don't touch me, and stay away from me!" The voice of Inuyasha said.

Kagome was coming back to her sense because of Inuyasha's voice.
"Leave… Inuyasha… alone." She sounded like she was in pain.

Inuyasha got out of Miroku's grasp and went to Kagome.

"Kagome, I'm so sorry!" He said still crying a little.
"Why are you sorry?" She asked sweetly bringing a sore arm to his face and let her thumb dry his tears.
"You got hurt because of me! If I didn't go…" He was starting to explain but Kagome interrupted him.
"Shhh, it's okay. It's not you fault, you were just staying close to me like you said you were always going to do." She wipe the last tear that he shed, his eyes look swollen and a little red.

"Kagome, how are you feeling? You've been out for 4 days now." Miroku said as he came forth to Kagome.
"4 days? Hm… It seems… like only 20 minutes." She smiled at the thought.
"Well… about 20-30 minutes ago you didn't have a pulse anymore, so I was brining Inuyasha away from you." He explained.
"I see." She said.

She started to get up but the pain in her stomach kept her from even moving. She winced her in pain; she regretted trying to even get up. Her head almost banged on the floor but Inuyasha caught her quickly.

"Ow, I didn't think I was in so much pain." Kagome laughed a little after Inuyasha place her head on something soft.
"Well it's no surprise that you're sore Kagome, the demon left a claw in your body, and Kaede took it out with the help of Inuyasha. He didn't really do much while you were hurt." He explained while moving to sit near her side.
"Kaede bandaged me up I suppose?" she asked
"Yes, Sango removed your upper clothing and Kaede bandaged it after they both cleaned it." He replied.
"What?! I don't hate my upper clothes on?!" She shouted and caused her a lot of pain and groaned in agony.
"No, you don't, that's why when I came to check on you I noticed that you were uncovered so I grabbed the blanket to do so. Please forgive me Kagome. I didn't see you flesh, your stomach to chest was bandaged up." He said it with innocence, but then again… doesn't he usually when he's being perverted?
"Miroku, remind me to smack you when I can get up and move. But since my chest is bandaged, can you help me put my shirt on that's inside my backpack? I think it's black." She said trying to point toward it.

Miroku grabbed the shirt and asked if it's what she wanted and she nodded yes. Miroku asked Inuyasha to help Kagome sit up straight. Kagome painfully moved her arms up so Miroku can slide her shirt over her. After Kagome had her shirt on she thanked Miroku and was now trying to get up with the help of Miroku and Inuyasha.

Kagome could stand and walk she found out now. She just can't get up easily without moving her upper body. She walked around out side smelling the air, she liked it, and she didn't know what to do. She was still sore a lot, but thought about some painkillers, unfortunately forgot them.

"Hey Miroku, do you think it's okay if I go to my era for some painkillers?" She asked him who was watching from the doorframe of the hut.
"I don't think that its wise to do that. Not until we see some improvement. One small poke on your side will give such pain." He firmly explained.
"I guess your right." She mumbled a little.

"Kagome! You're awake!" Came a running Shippo. He jumped toward her to give her a hug but Miroku caught Shippo before touched her.
"Shippo, don't hug her for awhile, she's really sore still. If you touch her upper body she might take longer to heal." He explained to the kit. Who just growled a little; he wanted to hug Kagome really badly.
"Fine, but when she's all better I'm going to give her a BIG hug!" He shouted.

"What's all the commotion over here? Kagome?! Your awake! Oh my god! I thought you weren't going to make it!" She jumped in joy… a little. "You actually doubted me, Kagome Higurashi? I'm shocked." She teased. "Sorry, but your wounds… they looked so fatal, and you lost a lot of blood even!" She exclaimed.
"They still are Sango." Miroku interrupted. "Just because she's up and about doesn't mean she'll be okay. It'll probably take a few weeks or so to get the wounds healed."

They all nodded in agreement, Kagome didn't really want to stay there for so long, but she had no choice in that matter. If she wanted to heal… she wound have to stay.

"Kagome, ye up sooner than I thought." Kaede said walking toward the group.
"Yes, thank you for dressing my wounds." Kagome bowed but hurt her stomach and fell to her knees. "Ye should show that much respect Kagome, especially, one who is in much pain as you." She wisely spoke. Kagome just laughed slightly, trying to take away some pain in her stomach.
"I'll try to remember that Kaede." She laughed again.

Miroku and Sango helped Kagome up and took her inside the hut and tried to lay her down. She went to sleep shortly afterwards. She was sound asleep, they believed because it was because of all the pain she had. Every once and a while they would try to wake her up and making eat or drink something because she hadn't for the past 5 or six days, or in other words, since Inuyasha left Kagome when she got wood for the bonfire.

Inuyasha tended to play with Shippo some while Kagome was awake. When she was asleep he would be near her and not playing around. He would sometimes pet Kirara when Kagome slept but that was it. Kagome was sleeping more now. Miroku requested her to do so, that way it would be easier for her to heal. She would woken up every 6-10 hours for care, food, and other sources. If she woke up on her own she would try to get up and tell Inuyasha to go play some. She liked to watch them play all the time, it made her happy. There were other reasons too though, besides the fact that she liked to watch them play, she always wanted to keep an eye on Inuyasha, and she blamed herself for this happening. Inuyasha being a kid and her to be banged up so much.

"Ah! Kagome, help! He's going to get me!" Shippo ran behind her away from Inuyasha.
"I'm going to get you!" Inuyasha ran coming nearer he took Tetseiga out of its sheath.
"Inuyasha stop!" Kagome shouted almost as demandingly as he came to a stop, Shippo was now scared a little also.
"Huh? What's wrong Kagome??" He curiously asked.
"Do not draw out Tetseiga to play around, understand?" She said as she lowered her voice. "Huh? What's that?" He was confused.
"The sword… it was forged from your fathers fang. It is a very dangerous weapon, but you need it to stay in your form. I won't explain anything else. Just please keep it in the sheath." She explained followed with a request.
"Uh… Okay, I will." He said assuring her with a smile.

Shippo then came from behind Kagome with relief that he wouldn't do that again. Kagome told them she was going to go back to sleep and told them that they could go play again. Inuyasha only played for 5 minutes more then went in the hut not far away from her.
