Inuyasha smelled blood as soon as he entered the warehouse.
While Kagome walked up onto stage, he watched as blood dripped from her handkercheif wrapped hand to fall onto the floor with soft patters. He knew she didn't notice. The cuts on her arm were still bleeding as well, but not as much.
When his name was called, he wasn't surprised. He only walked up onto the stage. Following the trail of blood.
He watched Kagome carefully as Rin explained why they were here and what to do. Noticing the others were keeping watch on her as well.
Then they were alone to make their plans.
Kagome was zoned out while they talked. Suddenly, someone asked her who attacked her house.
She started, focused on the speaker. Megumi. "Kagura." She replied.
The doctor asked her to come to her, and Kagome stood, wavering slightly, and walked over to her. Megumi examined her hand as they talked, everyone listening.
Then Megumi left, telling the broad shouldered teen to keep pressure on her hand.
She tried to force the world to stop moving, but it only made it worse. The constant pressure on her hand was a numb pain that registered only slightly.
"Are you okay little missie?" The big man asked her, his eyes full of concern even though they had never met before.
She would not show weakness. She would not show weakness in front of these people. "Yeah, Fine." She tried to say, but it came out in a mumbled whisper.
Her vision doubled and she closed her eyes to force it strait. Then she was gone.
Inuyasha was halfway across the room, Sango and Miroku behind him.
His stomach plummeted as her form went limp and she crumpled toward the ground.
She never hit the ground, though.
Himura caught her, Inu hadn't even seen him move.
inuyasha was at her side in a split second. "Kagome?" He asked, trying to get her to wake up.
"She's lost too much blood." Himura said.
"What?" Inuyasha asked, looking up at him puzzled.
"From recent wounds and from these fresh ones i'm surprised she's not in a hospital. She should be. Megumi-dono knows this. Which is why she has gone to get supplies from dr. Gensai, her grandfather's best friend. She needs to be in a bed under watch, not here." Himura said, startling them all.
Inuyasha stared at the red headed teen.
Kagome heard voices. A deep voice talking about her. Another voice, a familiar voice, and then the deep voice again. She tried to open her eyes, but they were too heavy. like lead.
Then she was being lifted into strong arms.
She was shifted, her shirt was rustled and opened. She struggled against them, but they only held her still, speaking words she didn't understand. The warmth of plush fabric heated her back.
Pain shot through her body, making her want to scream. Everything hurt.
"Hold her down." Megumi said, opening Kagome's shirt.
"It's alright, Kagome." Inuyasha tried to console her, tried to calm her.
"Give me the first roll of bandages." She said, pointing to the open case. The roll was handed to her.
When she was through bandaging Kagome's chest and abdomen, Megumi moved to the girl's arms. Bandaging them carefully, she closed most of the gashes and cuts.
Then she reached the still-bleeding hand.
"Give me the stitching kit, hurry." The kit was handed over. She stitched the skin back together, slowing the bleeding considerably. Then she bandaged the thing, wrapping the girl's hand tightly, immobilizing it.
By now, Kagome was kicking at the people holding her down.
"Okay, let her go." Megumi said, stepping back. "kagome...Kagome. You need to rest. You've lost a lot of blood." She said as the girl on the couch became docile.
Suddenly, blue eyes opened and she shot up. "No." kagome said, looking down at the hand that had been bandaged.
"no?" megumi asked.
"No. I have to take naraku down." Kagome said, leaning back against the back of the couch.
"Just rest while we plan a way to get in, okay?" Inuyasha said, making her look at him.
She nodded slowly, focusing slowly on his face. inuyasha sat down behind her, bracing her.
"Alright, Miroku, how do you suppose we get in?" Sango said, setting down as well.
Da's it for now. See ya next time! Yay!
