Chapter 7: Unexpected

The sky was completely dark except for a few outstanding stars in the sky. Kagome felt a little nervouse as she walked further into the gloomy forest. 'Where is she? I didn't leave that far behind her.' Her eyes slowly drifted paranoia sweeping her mind. They darted everywhere. Then her body froze, her blood ran cold. She could feel the air cought in her throat as she tried desperatly to breath. Crimson blood was trailing ever deeper into the thick vegitation. When she finally coaght controll she slowly crept behind a tall round tree. Her body felt weak and she fell to the forest floor. She made a soft thud. Her eyes became glossy as she slowly dragged them closed. 'What am I going to do? Where is Inuyasha?' Kagome quickly opened her eyes. The was a slight moan not to far away. Her fear was consuming her mind, her heart seemed to want to burst out of her chest. Kagome's eyes darted around, catching sight of the crimson blood glittering in the luna light. Silently "ahe.." She took a deep breath and grassped the tree the best she could and stood up. 'I must find her.' She took a step forward and steathly swept behind trees carefull not to catch unwanted attention. Following the trail of blood led her to and opening where the light of the moon barely showed casting horid shadows. As her eyes reached the center of the opening her heart skiped a beat. "Songo." She spoke as loud as she could. Racing to her friend. Kagome nearly got to her except for one of the horrid shadows grassped her throat. 'Fuck!' The slightly cool hand moved and cut a small slice across the side of her neck. Kagome froze like that. Her hear thumping so loud now she could here it. She looked upon Songo. She was lifeless but for some reason there was no blood anywhere on her body. Without another thaught her curiosity consumed her. She wriggled free and ran for her friend. A strong arm caught her around her slim waist, dragging her back to the hard wall of his chest. Kagome turned her head slowly and gasped. "Nuraku." Her voice was but a mere whisper. Kagome looked at his eyes they were as cold as ever. She tried to wrigle free again and slammed her hard elbow into his ribs. She got free quickly turning to face him. Nuraku fell to one knee clutching his side. He looked up at Kagome a growl entering his throat. Blood began to dripp from his still clutched hand. "What happened?" Kagome dropped to her knees and cupped his hand. The blood covering her hand. He shoved her away. His mind went black as he fell to the ground. Kagome choked on her words. "N-Nar...." She had never felt this sorry for him ever. She knelt by his side. 'He seems to be bleeding endless.' Kagome quickly ripped her shirt, making it come right below her bra. She folded it into a square and placed it over the wound, pushing with her hands. Kagome glanced to her side. Songo still lay unconciouse. In an instant her eyes went right back to Nuraku. She let go of his bandage and ripped off both of her sleeves. Tying them together she wrapped them around his body holding the extra cloth that was on the wound. "There that should be enough pressure." She began to talk to herself moving over to Songo. Rolling Songo over she notice a small cut on her otherwise perfect face. Kagome softly ran her fingers over Songo's palm just in case. She seemed fine besides the unconcious thing. Kagome scooted over to Nuraku's side. His face was still. She layed her head on the soft ground and began to quietly sob.
