Chapter 5: Stream of blood
Disclaimer: I want to thank you all for the reviews that I have been receiving. Its thanks to you I keep on writing otherwise I probably would've had stopped the story long ago. I'll try to make this chapter longer than the last one since I'm a loner at home.
Last time
Kagome looked in his eyes. "It's a tornado!"
Inuyasha looked at Kagome. "Whats that?"
"I have no time to explain. Everyone has to run away before it kills us all!" Kagome yelled.
Kaede heard this and yelled at the villagers for them to leave immidiatly. The villagers took their childrena nd ran as fast as they can into the forest where they would be safe.
Kagome ran back into the hut and quickly picked up the still sleeping Shippo and her big yellow bag. Inuyasha ran in and made Kagome go on his back. Sango woke Kilala and she transformed into her big demonic form.
"ITS COMMING TOWARDS US!!" Kagome yelled.
On with the story
Sango, Miroku and Kaede went on the transformed Kilala. They left at top speed. They knew Inuyasha was behind with Kagome and Shippo.
Shippo woke up by all the movement and the noise around him. He fluttered his small little eyes opened and looked around and saw Kagome hold him tightly looking really scared. "What's going on Kagome?"
Kagome looked in back of her and saw the tornado less then a mile away. The sound of cracking trees and breaking huts was ringing in her ears. "FASTER INUYASHA!" She yelled.
Inuyasha ran faster, Kilala was trying to keep up with his speed. The wind was strong against him and Kilala but they managed to go faster. Kagome was slipping off but Inuyasha held her tighter, scared to loose her but didn't show it. "I won't let you go Kagome!"
Kagome was really scared when she heard a loud screeching scream. Kagome looked down at her hands and noticed that she wasn't holding Shippo anymore. Kagome started shaking, not wanting to loose the little Kitsune and having to hold his death till hers. She looked around and saw the Kitsune on the ground behind them. "SHIPPO!"
Tears were spilling out of her eyes flowing like a river down her cheek. "Inuyasha! Save Shippo!"
Inuyasha turned in the air and saw Shippo screaming out to anyone who was able to save him. His little arms streatched out to Inuyasha, tears streaming out of his eyes pleading for help fron the Hanyou.
Inuyasha saw the tornado so close to the little Kitsune. Inuyasha dashed for the fallen Kitsune.
"Kagome! Help me!" The crying demon yelled outloud over the fierceful wind.
A big piece of wood hit Inuyasha strait in the stomach causing Kagome to fall off his back. Inuyasha looked at Kagome who was a couple of feet away from him holding her ankle in pain.
"Kagome!"
Kagome looked up and saw Inuyasha. She winced in pain. "Go! Save Shippo!"
Inuyasha looked behind him and saw Shippo not too far away. He looked back at Kagome and blinked away the tears. He closed his eyes. I'm so sorry Kagome.
Inuyasha ran towards the Kitsune and picked him up quickly. Shippo held onto Inuyasha so hard, scared to fall again, almost plunging to his death. Inuyasha ran back to Kagome but was being pushed back by the fierceful wind. Tears welled up on the side of his eyes once again. He saw her close her auburn eyes. She knew he couldn't save her this time.
"Kagome!!!" Shippo yelled out to his mom.
The tornado was right behind her. Inuyasha stopped dead in his tracks. Iie... His eyes went wide, the girl that he never told, he never told her the truth behind his mask of agony. Then in a swift move she was gone. The monster had sucked her up, had taken her away from him. He felt his heart beat, he even heard it. The pain that ran through his body. He never told her.
"KAGOME!!!!" Inuyasha screamed at the top of his lungs. "KAGOME!!!"
Sango landed beside Inuyasha still on Kilala. Inuyasha handed Shippo to Sango. "Inuyasha come on!" The hunter yelled.
Inuyasha glared at Sango, she noticed his eyes going a bit red. "IIE! I need to save Kagome! I can't let her die!"
The tornado was approching quickly. "Leave NOW! I'll meet you when I save Kagome!"
Inuyasha braced himslef for the impact. Sango had fled. Inuyasha waited until the twister sucked him up also just like it did to Kagome. "Come on..." Inuyasha whispered to the tornado as if asking it to go faster.
The tornado was less then 100 feet away from him when all of a sudden it was gone. All the clouds dissapeared, the bright morning sun came out. Morning had finally hit. Inuyasha stood there frozen. "Ka- Kagome..." Was all he could say, think about. Inuyasha ran at top speed to where the tornado was last. "KAGOME!"
Kagome's eyes opened up slowly adjusting herself to the morning light beeming in her eyes. She slowly brought herself up into a sitting position. She looked to see if she had any injuries on herself. She first looked at her ankle and saw it was really brused. Great my ankle is sprained. She looked at her arms and saw blood gushing out of her cut. She still had her big yellow bag on her back and took it off with her good arm. She placed it in front of her and took out a cloth. She wipped the blood around it and wrapped her arm. Lets see if I can walk. She slowly stood up to see if she could stand on her ankle at all but she fell as soon as she stood up.
"Where's Inuyasha? And where am I?" She asked herself questionly. Looking at the scenary around her. There were trees that were in bloom, she sat in a field all alone. She brought her knees up to her chest and lied her arms on them, waiting for her hero to find her.
Inuyasha ran faster towards, well nowhere in particullar. All of a sudden he got a big swif of her blood. Shit, Kagome's bleeding. And this is all my fault. Please be alright Kagome...for me.
"Inuyasha! Sango, Miroku, Shippo...Kaede" Kagome screamed and ended in a whimper.
Inuyasha ran in the direction of her blood. It became stronger and stronger. You can't be dead. Please Kagome...be alive. Worry was running through his body questions filling his head, what if she was dead what would he do?, what if she was alive but mad at him for letting her down...
"Inuyasha! Anyone! Help!" She yelled louder.
Inuyasha heard her sweet voice screaming out. He felt so relieved. She was indeed alive and well...hopefully. He ran faster towards her and came into view with her.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled when he saw her sitting up on the ground.
Kagome looked behind her and saw Inuyasha. A smile crept up on her face. "Inuyasha!"
Inuaysha landed beside her and breathed heavily. He saw blood soaking through the once whit cloth. He also saw he swolen ankle. He bent down and picked her up slowly as not to hurt her bridal style.
"Are you alright Kagome?" He whispered as if she was the only one that should hear him.
Kagome put a hand to his cheek and caressed it. "Hai! I'm fine Inuyasha...just in a bit of pain from the arm."
Inuyasha closed his eyes and breathed in. "Gomen..."
Kagome smiled at him. He re-opened his eyes and looked deeply into hers. "I'm so sorry to have caused you this pain..."
Kagome shook her head. "Iie...no need for excuses Inuyasha. I'm fine and I'm just glad that you came back for me. That's all."
Inuyasha smiled at her and ran off. He ran fast but as carefully as he could as to not hurt Kagome somemore. "I'm so glad your alive Kagome." He told her as he ran.
Kagome held Inuyasha tighter. "Is Shippo alright?"
Inuyasha looked down at her. "Hai...but your not. This is all my fault...I'm so sorry Kagome...If only I had seen that piece of wood coming at me then you wouldn't of had been hurt like this..."
Kagome took her injured arm and looked at the blood soaked cloth that sheilded her wound. "This is NOT you fault. As long as everyone's alright..."
"What's taking them so long?" Sango asked herself outloud while pacing back and forth.
Miroku was sitting near a river and yawned. "I hope Kagome-chan is alright."
Kaede was looking over Shippo to see if he had any injuries. "Don't ye worry about Kagome. Inuyasha found her. Inuyasha always finds Kagome."
After Kaede had finished checking Shippo, Shippo ran and played with Kilala. Everyone knew that Shippo was worried sick but he actually hid if well this time. Shippo had matured while he was with Kagome and the gang. Inuyasha had told him (while episode 107) that a man never cries infront of others and so Shippo that that information and now hardly never cried except for when he was on the ground ready to get killed by the tornado.
"Sango!" A voice yelled.
Sango looking up at the blue sky and saw Inuyasha holding Kagome. A huge smile spread across Sango's face. "Kagome-chan!"
Inuyasha landed gracefully beside Kaede. "Old hag! Check Kagome's wounds."
Kaede walked over to Kagome who was still in Inuyasha's arms. Shippo saw his mom and dad arrive and ran towards them. He knew he shouldn't jump in her arms because he could smell the blood. "Kagome-mama...your bleeding."
Kaede took off the cloth on Kagome's arm and looked at the gash on her arm. "Ye child, ye wound is deep. Inuyasha bring Kagome and soak her arm until the bleeding stops. Then bring her back to me."
Inuyasha shrugged and raced off the any river he could find.
Inuyasha carefully lied Kagome down beside the stream. Kagome turned and went on her stomach to soak her arm so that it would be easier to soak in the water. Inuyasha looked in the stream and saw the flow of blood drifitng out of her arm and dissapearing into the water. "I'm so glad your alive."
Kagome took her arm out of the water and checked it. It was still bleeding. Kagome sighed and looked at Inuyasha. "I'm glad too. But at some point I just felt like dieing in that tornado. No one, rarely, ever survives when they are sucked into a tornado."
Inuyasha was sitting in front of her listening attentively.
"All my memories just flashed in my head. All the memories that I have with Sango, Miroku, Shippo..." Kagome took Inuyasha's hand and held it tightly. "And you Inuyasha...you guys are my new family. Hai...I do miss mama, Souta and Jii-chan but...its different with you guys." Kagome sat up from her previous position still holding Inuyasha's hand.
Inuyasha let her hand go and she did also, but he couldn't help but to wrap his arms around her waist and hug her tightly and he did. He took one hand and brought it up to her head. She leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Kagome...I'm glad you told me this...if you had left nothing would ever be the same."
Kagome lifted her head from his shoulder and looked at him with a smile on her face. "Can you kiss me?"
Inuyasha's eyes went wide open. "N-Nani?"
Kagome giggled at his studdering. "Can you kiss me?"
Inuyasha bent down and gave her a sweet kiss. This time Kagome pushed slightly on the back of his neck. Kagome felt something on her lips and she automatically opened her mouth, his toung found its way into hers. At first this had sent shivers down her spine, but the feeling of his toung touching hers felt so natural, so good.
Kagome moaned in his mouth and he giggled a bit. Inuyasha pulled away with a bit of Kagome's saliva on his lips. Kagome couldn't help but smile, so did Inuyasha.
Kikyou glared at the couple. She was hiding behind a bush staring at the couple. "I'll get you back Inuyasha...if it's the last thing I do! Pain is all I want to see from you! See you suffer is all that I have ever desired to see you in..." Hissed Kikyou from afar. "I swore to you that I will shatter your hear and I will, by using your lover that you still haven't admitted your love to."
They stared at each other for a couple of moments taking in what had just happened between them.
"Kagome! Inuyasha!" Sango yelled on the big demon Kilala.
Kagome looked up and smiled at her friend. Inuyasha quickly licked his lips to get the saliva off. Sango landed and hopped off Kilala. Kilala transformed into her original form and Sango picked her up.
"So is your arm still bleeding?" She asked Kagome who was still on her knees. "And Inuyasha why are you on your knees? You never sit like that?"
Inuyasha quickly stood up. "Well I was helping Kagome clean her gash."
Sango raised and eyes brow but let it back down as she crouched beside her friend and examined her arm. There was still blood coming out. "Kagome your arm is still bleeding."
Kagome looked at her arm and sighed. "I better make it stop soon, this isn't good for me."
Sango helped Kagome go back on her stomach and she put her arm back into the cold water. The blood making the water go red again.
5 minutes passed
Kagome's arm finally stopped bleeding but felt numb from the cold water. Kagome had gotten on Inuyasha's back. Sango was back on Kilala. "Alright lets go!"
Inuyasha jumped into a tree and starting hopping onto different ones. Kagome gripped Inuyasha tighter, afraid that she might fall off again.
"Don't worry Kagome...this time I swear I won't drop you." He gripped her tighter.
Kagome sighed and her eye lids were getting heavier and heavier. Soon enough Kagome's body felt floppu and her breathing became slower. She was leaning her head on his shoulder. Inuyasha knew that she had fallen asleep. Everynight after everyone had fallen asleep Inuyasha crept towards Kagome and watched her sleep. She always sounded like this after she fell asleep.
After a few mor minutes of running Sango and Inuyasha arrived at their little campsite that Miroku, Shippo and Kaede had put up while they other 3 were gone. All of their sleeping bags and pillows were out.
Inuyasha asked Miroku to take Kagome off of his back and to lie her down on her pink sleeping bag. Inuyasha sat down and watched Miroku closely so that he wouldn't do anything nasty to Kagome. Miroku lied Kagome down on her sleeping bag. Kaede walked over to the sleeping Kagome and wrapped her arm.
Sango, Kaede, Shippo, Kilala and Kagome were all asleep except for the two men. Miroku was looking at Inuyasha, who was staring at Kagome. "You really care for Kagome don't you?"
Inuyasha looked at Miroku and 'Feh'd'. "You really care about Sango?"
Miroku looked at Sango and smiled. "I guess you can say that." Miroku's face became serious all of a sudden and he looked at Inuyasha. "Me and Lady Kaede were talk and she told me that she had never seen a tornado before in the village or anywhere else."
Inuyasha thought about what Miroku had just said. "I've never seen one at the village either. The only one I've ever seen was that whimpy wolf's." Inuyasha looked down and back at Miroku. "Maybe it was Kouga?"
Miroku shook his head. "I doubt that Inuyasha. Why would he try to kill Kagome?"
Inuyasha looked at the fire. "If he ever does try to hurt Kagome. I swear that he will never EVER touch Kagome again."
Miroku stood and walked over to his sleeping bag and slipped himself in it. "Maybe someone created it and wanted to kill us...because if you think about it the tornado only came after us." With that said Miroku fell fast asleep.
Inuyasha walked over to Kagome and stared at her like he always did. He brushed her bangs out of her face, and he kissed her forehead. Kagome...I hope that whoever is out to get you, will die...at my hands. I remember Kikyou saying that she will kill you...but I won't let her take you way from me. Inuyasha lifted Kagome up and hugged her tightly to his body. Never.
