Tears and Blood Chapter Two: Tears For a Lost Love By: Sailor Destiny2???

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

After the group had been walking for a while, Kagome began to lag behind. The pain in her leg had long since doubled and just moving her leg was causing her severe pain. Suddenly, she felt a large pressure lifting from her back as she realized that Inuyasha was now carrying her yellow pack and looking at her as if he knew something was wrong.
"What's wrong with you today?" he asked as he continued to watch her.
"I guess I'm still a bit tired," Kagome replied as she stared at the ground.
"We can't have you slowing us down," Inuyasha informed her in a semi- scolding manner as he lifted Kagome in his arms, "It'll be faster this way." Kagome just stared up at him before snuggling into his chest. Before long she had fallen asleep in his muscular arms.

When Kagome woke up, she was lying in her bed, in her house, in her time.
"How did I get back here?" she wondered aloud. She got up out of her bed in an attempt to figure out why she was back in her own time and headed down stairs. As she walked into the kitchen she saw her mom laying motionless on the floor. She ran over to her mother, her panic rising while trying to get her mom to wake up.
"Mom? Who did this? Are you okay?" She screamed as tears fell down her face, "Please, wake up." Before she knew what was happening, someone was upon her. She was knocked off her feet as someone pinned her to the ground. A sudden blow to the stomach caught her off guard and she cried out in pain. Laughter filled the air as Kagome closed her eyes and was swallowed by the darkness.

Kagome opened her eyes and realized that she had tears running down her face. She moved her head and discovered that she was still laying in Inuyasha's arms. He looked down and noticed she was awake but he also noticed that she had been crying.
"What's wrong?" he asked in surprise as he continued to watch her.
"It was only a dream," she said more to herself than as a response to Inuyasha's question.
"You've been acting really strange lately, is something wrong?" he asked with concern.
"Talking about it only makes matters worse," she replied, her eyes looking distant as she remembered something from long ago. Inuyasha moved his arms in order to let Kagome down and he felt her body tense and heard a gasp escape her lips.
Inuyasha opened his mouth as though to say something but thought better of it and closed it again. He watched Kagome walk gingerly on her left leg as she mad her way towards Sango and the others. He continued to keep an eye on Kagome for the rest of the day.

After the sky had turned from a light blue to a deep black, Inuyasha and the others decided to find some place to camp out for the night. Eventually, they found a small clearing beside a stream and decided that it would be the perfect place to set up camp for the night. Kagome went off behind some trees to change into her pajamas.
When she came back she was clothed in a while shirt and pants. She quickly jumped into her sleeping bag and fell asleep. For the first time in a week, her sleep was not plagued with nightmares.

So what did you think? As always, please review. I'd like to know what the readers think of my work. I accept constructive criticism but please don't be too harsh I'm working really hard on this and I'm sorry that the chapters are all so short, they seem so much longer when I write them out 55;; Destiny
