Chapter 2: Pain
By Tainted InuShemeeko
She moaned as she slowly opened her eyes, her mind tried to recall where she was and what had happened. Her stormy eyes took in the wooden walls inside of the hut she was in, a fire was burning inside of the fire pit in the center of the room. She now knew she was inside of Kaede's hut. As to why she was there she couldn't answer. Until she tried to sit up and a burning pain shot through her chest, causing her breath to freeze inside of her lungs.
Kagome glanced down at her bandaged chest as the memory flashed through her mind.
~ Kikyo had aimed an arrow at her; there had been a coldness to her voice as she had spoken to her.
"Inuyasha's heart belongs to me. I shall not aloud you to interfere anymore, and in doing so I will regain what is rightfully mine."
Kagome had screamed Inuyasha's name the desperation in her scream begging him to wake up. The arrow soaring through the air towards, her body paralyzed and unable to move as the arrow pierced her fresh.
After that ever thing had gone dark.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome shook her head as she shakily got to her feet. Her eyes brimmed with tears as she whispered to herself,
"Inuyasha never heard me. He...didn't stop Kikyo from...killing me."
Yes that was how she felt Kikyo had killed her, and Inuyasha had been powerless to save her. Her heart felt like it had deflated in her chest.
"I guess I really am just his shard detector."
Kagome stopped at the side of the door as voices wafted into her.
"Ye are being to hard on yourself Inuyasha. It has been several weeks since Kikyo wounded Kagome. I believe the wound is healing nicely."
"Then tell me you old hag, if Kagome's fine why hasn't she woken up yet?"
Miroku put a friendly hand on Inuyasha's shoulder.
"I believe Lady Kaede is right. Kagome is alive isn't that enough Inuyasha? Give her time I'm sure she'll wake up soon."
Inuyasha voice was harsh as he removed Miroku's hand from his shoulder.
"If Kagome would have listened to me. She would have never gotten hurt, but nooooo she just had to follow me. She so damn stubborn."
**********************************************************
Inuyasha's harsh words wounded her already bleeding heart. So much, that she turned and ran for the back window and climbed through it and ran for the well, she just couldn't stay here any longer. As she ran toward the old well, Sango jumped to defend her.
"How dare you Inuyasha. Kagome left to find you because she was worried about you. You had been gone so long we all were starting to wonder if you were ever coming back."
Her magenta eyes flashed as she continued to yell at Inuyasha.
"Yes, Kagome got hurt, but in the end it looks like she was able to break the spell Kikyo put on you. You yourself said that when you came too, all you could remember was Kagome screaming your name."
Inuyasha was about to say something back to Sango's statement, when a familiar scent of blood came to his nose.
"Kagome."
Inuyasha quickly left the others behind as he rushed into the hut.
"Kagome?"
Inuyasha keen eyes scanned the hut for Kagome, but she no longer lay on the futon. The scent of her blood led him to the window. His clawed fingers gently touched the blood on the windowsill.
'Why would she climb the window? Her wound must have opened when she was climbing out. But why would she...?'
Inuyasha's eyes widened when he realized what had caused her to leave. She had to have been listening to them talking. In a flash of red and white he ran toward the well. He began to breathe easier when he saw Kagome's figure standing at the well.
"Kagome, wait let me explain. I didn't mean it the way it sounded."
Inuyasha took a step toward Kagome. Only to have her turned and face him utterly confusion leapt into his golden eyes as he stared at Kagome. He couldn't believe what he was seeing; Kagome had an arrow aim straight at him.
"Don't come any closer Inuyasha! I don't want to hurt you."
"Kagome what are you doing?"
Inuyasha questioned her as he dared to step a little closer. It did not go missed by Kagome's eyes.
"I said don't move!"
With that said an arrow soared through the air and landed in front of the hanyou. Miroku and the rest of their friends gasped as the arrow sunk into the ground. This only angered Inuyasha more.
"What the hell are you doing?"
His heart torn more inside as he watched the blood seep through the bandage on her chest, why was she doing this?
Kagome winced as she kneeled on the rim of the well. Her strength leaving her as she notched an arrow an Inuyasha, and prepared to fire another warning shot.
"Kagome this is nuts. What ever it is that's wrong we can work through it. Your wound has reopened, so get down and go let Kaede look at it."
Kagome then laughed at Inuyasha.
"Well it's my own fault that Kikyo tried to kill me right? If I hadn't been so stupid to worry about you, if I did what you told me I wouldn't be hurt isn't that right?"
Inuyasha didn't move until Kagome turned to face the well, then he moved.
"Inu-Yasha SIT, SIT, SIT!"
She then disappeared into the well. Miroku and the other walked closer to Inuyasha as he pried himself out of the four-foot deep hole in the ground. Miroku took the time to speak.
"Something did not seem right about Kagome's aura. It seems colder then usual."
Once all the dirt had been removed from his mouth. Inuyasha glared up at Miroku.
"What do you mean something wrong with her aura?"
********************************************************
Kagome sighed as she dropped her bow and arrows at the bottom of the well.
"I can't believe I just did that. Oh well at least I know he won't follow me. At least not for a while."
Kagome then slowly made her way to her house. She sighed a breath of relief when she saw that no one was home.
"Well at least mom can't freak over this wound in my chest."
She then pulled off a note off of the door and read it.
"Hmmm, looks like they took of for spring vacation. Oh well that just gives me some time to myself."
She sighed as she head up stairs to take a shower. Peace and quiet, just what she needed.
