The light streamed through the open window. Kagome tried sitting up, but her right arm wouldn't cooperate. Defeated, Kagome sank back under the covers. Her shirt was stained with her own blood, something she had least expected, and was dressed in her spare miko outfit.
Once again, Kagome tried to sit up, making the pain in her shoulder and neck worse.
"You shouldn't try to sit up or even move yet, Kagome. You might hurt yourself." Sango warned her.
Kagome fell back and sighed. "More hurt than I already am? That's not possible."
"It is if you keep moving." InuYasha snapped at her.
Kagome sighed again. "Whatever."
Miroku laughed lightly at this and stood up.
"Where're you going Miroku?" Sango looked up at him.
"I need to get out of here for a while, maybe you should come with me."
Sango scoffed. "Yeah right, no thanks."
Miroku bent down next to her. "Look, it's clear that InuYasha is upset about this but he won't show or say anything in front of us."
Sango nodded. "Then let's go." Both of them got up quickly and left.
"There's something wrong with them." InuYasha said flatly.
Kagome attempted to get up again and sat up clutching her wound in pain.
"Hey, you okay?"
"Y-yeah. I'm fine." Kagome refused to let pain stop her. She wasn't even sure how large the wound was, only that the pain from it was killing her. She wasn't even sure if she wanted to see it. Sango had checked it out earlier and looked scared to see it. Kagome lifted the shirt collar and peered down at her shoulder. It was disgusting. It had already scabbed over and was cracking form the looks of it. (Yami: Ugh…similar experience…nasty…xx )
Kagome was sickened at the very sight of it and started to cover it back up.
"Hey Kagome?"
Kagome jumped a little form the voice that startled her. She forgot that InuYasha was even there in the corner behind him. He got up and sat down next to her.
"What?"
InuYasha looked a little nervous about saying what he was going to say. "Can I—?"
Kagome nodded before he finished and pulled down her right sleeve. A spider like scab cracked around her neck and shoulder. "How bad is it?" Kagome asked being non-able to see it for herself.
InuYasha also looked sickened. It was like the same mark that Kohaku-kun, Naraku and Kagura had on their backs.
"Well? InuYasha, is it that bad?"
InuYasha didn't answer at first. "That spider mark…" His voice trailed off and he became silent again. He didn't need to go on. Kagome realized at once what had really happened to her. "Oh…"
Suddenly, the pain form the wound intensified. Kagome clutched the scar and actually started to rip it off. It made a sickening sticky noise as warm glue like substance clung to her skin. InuYasha leaned back. "Wha-What the hell?"
A dark red mark was left on her skin form the scar. In an instant, the scar turned into a spider. Kagome shrieked and threw it as far away form her as she could. "InuYasha!"
InuYasha got up and crushed the spider with the scabbard of the Tetsusaiga. "What was that?"
"I-I don't know." Kagome checked her shoulder before pulling her sleeve in again. "InuYasha, it already scabbed over!" Kagome moved her arm around. It didn't hurt as much as it had earlier. "What's his plan for me?" Kagome asked herself.
"Hmm?"
Kagome looked up at InuYasha "Naraku; what's his plan for me? Why do this to me?"
"He wants the jewel shards you have." InuYasha answered. "It isn't that hard to figure it out."
"Then why not just kill me and take the shards for himself?"
"Because Naraku doesn't want to get his hands that dirty. He probably plans to control you just like he is with Kohaku."
"Kohaku-kun has a shard in him. That's how Naraku is controlling him but me—. I don't understand it."
"What don't you get?" InuYasha asked, frustrated.
"He needs a jewel shard to control me…doesn't he?"
InuYasha sat back down next to her "Look, just don't worry about it. Naraku isn't going to do anything to you before getting through me—I mean us." InuYasha rubbed the back of his head, embarrassed
Kagome rolled her eyes. Sure you do.
"L-look, the point is, Naraku isn't going to do anything to you." InuYasha promised and hugged her. "So don't worry about it.
Kagome welcomed the hug, gratefully. "Don't worry about it."? How can I not?
We talked about our lives
Until the sun came up
Now I'm thinking about
How I wish I could go back
Just for one more day
One more day with you
Everytime I see your face
Everytime you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right
But ever since you walked away
You left my life in disarray
All I want is one more day
It's all I need
One more day with you
