Chapter 11
Lost Again
InuYasha quickly jumped from the windowsill down to the ground. He normally would have jumped straight to another tree and quickly left but with Kagome to not jostle and with his chest beginning to throb, he felt he couldn't do it.
I'm going to have to walk all the way back to the school. I can't stay here or Degujiru will find us... what to do what to do...
Kagome had a nice nap with the occasional bump. She had fallen asleep to InuYasha's heart beat and his soft, yet wild scent. When she suddenly realized he wasn't holding her anymore, her eyes snapped open only to see his golden eyes staring down at her, concern obvious in them.
"InuYasha..." Kagome murmured, sitting up. She was laying down on a dead log, her head resting against leg.
"Don't move so suddenly," InuYasha said as Kagome suddenly flinched in pain. "You don't want to reopen your wounds."
"Where are we?" Kagome asked, ignoring InuYasha request not to move.
"In the woods behind the school," explained InuYasha.
"Are we still near that creep?" Right after InuYasha nodded, a red flag went off in Kagome's head.
"InuYasha!" she suddenly cried, "You've got to get out of here! If that creep finds you-!" Kagome was cut off as InuYasha placed his fingers over her lips.
"Kagome, calm down-" But Kagome wouldn't listen. She ripped his hand away from her mouth.
"InuYasha! That creep is out to kill you! I was just bait!"
"Bait?"
Kagome nodded, "Uh-huh. He said once you arrived to save me, he would kill you and then he could do anything he wanted to with me!"
Kagome heard InuYasha growl and smiled softly. But the smile quickly faded as the thought of the danger that was around them returned.
"You've got to leave! Just forget about me for now and leave before they kill you!"
"I'm not leaving you behind!" InuYasha shouted back. "If I'm leaving, you're leaving!"
Kagome was touched, "InuYasha..."
"But things aren't going my way."
"W-what?"
"Kagome, leave. Forget about me, just for now at least," InuYasha stood and Kagome followed his suit.
"What are you talking about! You just said you wouldn't leave without me!"
"I don't want to leave without you! But in the position I'm in, I'd rather have you be alone than dead," InuYasha pushed her away.
"Get out of here before he finds you too."
A sudden explosion from behind InuYasha forced Kagome back. As she watched InuYasha disappear in dark black clouds, just before she was taken by darkness, one thought flew through her mind.
InuYasha!... I... I don't want to lose you again! Come back!
INUYASHA!!
It was a nice walk through the woods if you didn't think about the fact that a perverted madman was after him and the girl he loved. InuYasha tried not to jostle Kagome and she slept soundly except a few mumbles when he stepped into foot-hole and practically broke his ankle.
Soon however, InuYasha needed a break. He set Kagome softly on a nearby fallen log and sat alongside her, setting her head on his leg as a pillow. InuYasha peered down at her, watching his sleeping goddess when her eyes suddenly popped open.
"InuYasha..." Kagome murmured, sitting up. InuYasha saw her flinch in pain from the sudden movement and he felt his heart go in his throat.
"Don't move so suddenly," he said, hands ready to catch her if she fell back. "You don't want to reopen your wounds."
"Where are we?" Kagome asked, sitting up anyway.
"In the woods behind the school," explained InuYasha.
"Are we still near that creep?" InuYasha nodded. And as soon as he did, a look of horror suddenly twisted Kagome's features.
"InuYasha!" she suddenly cried, "You've got to get out of here! If that creep finds you-!" InuYasha reached forward and cut Kagome off by placing the tips of his fingers on her soft lips. It took everything he had from stopping her by a kiss, but this was not the time. He had to squash the demon in him and listen to her. Once they were out of this mess, maybe then, would he be able to kiss her.
"Kagome, calm down-" But Kagome quickly stopped him by ripping his hand away from her mouth. She continued to hold it and he soon wrapped his larger hand around hers.
"InuYasha! That creep is out to kill you! I was just bait!"
"Bait?" InuYasha was confused. How was she bait? Degujiru had nothing against him, just his boss, or the man in the baboon suit. Everything suddenly seemed to fit together inside his head even before Kagome had a chance to answer him.
Kagome quickly nodded, "Uh-huh. He said once you arrived to save me, he would kill you and then he could do anything he wanted to with me!"
InuYasha growled at the thought of another man touching his Kagome. He saw Kagome smile and figured she heard him. In the back of his head, a red flag was going off. Someone was coming.
"You've got to leave! Just forget about me for now and leave before they kill you!"
"I'm not leaving you behind!" InuYasha shouted back on instinct. "If I'm leaving, you're leaving!"
Kagome seemed touched. She smiled softly and whispered his name: "InuYasha..."
Damn it... I can't take Kagome with me... I've got to think of something before that creep gets here!
"But things aren't going my way."
"W-what?"
"Kagome, leave. Forget about me, just for now at least," InuYasha stood and Kagome followed his suit. All the while, InuYasha's ears were practically spinning. Degujiru was closing in on them. He had not only a simple gun with him, but from the smell of the gunpowder, it smelled like at least three grenades. And he was heading straight for them. InuYasha didn't have the strength to get himself and Kagome away in time. If Kagome wasn't so stubborn, he would be able to get her out of here. But at the rate it was going...
"What are you talking about! You just said you wouldn't leave without me!"
"I don't want to leave without you! But in the position I'm in, I'd rather have you be alone than dead."
The scent of a lit grenade suddenly filled InuYasha's nose. He quickly pushed her away. "Get out of here before he finds you too!"
The sudden explosion from behind him forced Kagome far into the bushes behind her. Hopefully far enough so that Degujiru wouldn't find her. InuYasha had used some of his demon powers to keep from flying from the blast. He saw Kagome black out before she hit the ground. InuYasha turned and quickly dashed through the dark black clouds. Degujiru was going to pay. His master was going to pay.
But as InuYasha dashed toward the smell of Degujiru, one thought flew through his mind.
Kagome... I wish I didn't have to leave you like this... But like I said. I'd rather see you alone than dead. I'll come back to you. Just wait for me.
InuYasha could've sworn he heard Kagome shout his name.
INUYASHA!!
Author's Note: Don't we all love cliffies? ;) I love making you guys wait. That's just the evil kind of person I am! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ;) ;) ;)
So I hope everything is getting clearer. Degujiru and his master (the baboon dude ::wink wink::) are out to kill InuYasha for something his father did (I'm not gonna go into that now) and they used Kagome to get to him. Now, Degujiru is hot on their trail and InuYasha pushed Kagome out of the way of the grenade (just in time too). So Inu is out to kill Degujiru and his master and Kagome is knocked out on the floor of the forest. Fun.
