I just thought you would find that interesting.
"Let's go outside, i'll tell you there." He said, walking toward the main entrance. He didn't want the others to know of the absence of Naraku's body yet. Panic wouldn't help anything now.
Sango stared at the couple walking around the inn yard, their silent footfalls barely left the grass in a curve. "Naraku is alive." She heard Sesshomaru say.
Turning, she went inside to tend to her patient. She arrived at the door to find it stuck.
Growling to herself, she tried to push the door open again. Rolling her eyes, she put her fist through the stiff paper-like door. Grasping a fluffy ear, she tugged the hanyou father to the side, waking him up in the process.
"Ow! What was that for, wench!" He yelled, forgetting, perhaps, where and when they were.
"I coudln't get in, baka, and quit yelling before i cut off your tongue." Sango threatened, seeing Kaouru moan and shift at the loud use of her father's voice.
Immediately going quiet, he remembered where and why he was here. Turning quickly, he studied his daughter's still form.
"Shikara's here. She knows what happened." She told Inuyasha as she re-bound Kaouru's stomach.
"What did you tell her! Where's Kagome?" Inuyasha demanded, getting loud again.
"Quiet down, Inuyasha. Kagome is still taking care of Ayame. The only one she has talked to is Sesshomaru, and i don't know what he's told her. She flashed in here without giving us a chance to stop her. she had smelled the blood. Get me some clean water." Sango said, staring at the still-gaping hole in her adopted neice's stomach.
Kaouru opened bleary eyes to stare up at her as she worked. "Where's Dad and Rei?" She asked, her voice hoarse.
"Your dad's gone to get water, Rei's behind me. Do you want to see him?" Sango asked, shifting to kick the boy that had slept through the previous scene.
Rei raced around Kaouru to sit on the other side of her prone form. "Hey, How you feel?" He asked, holding one of her hands affectionatelly.
"I've felt worse. You okay?" She asked, looking at one of his bandaged hands.
"I'm fine. Your dad's goin' nuts about you bein' hurt." He said, grinning. "He's pacing and everything."
smiling weakly, Kaouru closed her eyes as a sharp pain shot through her gut. "Could you NOT poke me there!" She said through gritted teeth, glaring down at the hand that was inside of her stomach.
"Sorry, Kaouru, i've got to keep you from getting an infection. You don't want to have to explain this to the hospitals in your time, do you?" She asked, her mouth a slight frown.
She was almost just like her father. It was sweet.
Inuyasha came sprinting in, wind kicking up in the room as he set down the small bucket of water from the nearest well. Staring at Rei holding Kaouru's hand, he sat back against the wall.
"How does it look?" Kaouru asked, trying to get up, but failing miserably.
"Well, It's not healing as fast as it should be, but that's because of Miasma poisoning you got when you were fighting. So, aside from having a giant hole through your abdomen, you're in perfect health." Sango said, wrapping the hole again with bandages.
"That good?" Kaouru joked back. "So, doc, when can i eat? I'm starving!"
"You can't eat anything that might damage your system, so i would suggest a strict diet of herbs and miso soup." Sango said, grinning maliciously.
"Alright!" Kaouru grinned, then turned to give puppy eyes toward her father, who stared back.
"What kind?" He asked, rolling his eyes. Kaouru loved only two things better than Ramen. Ice Cream was the first. Miso soup was the second.
"Chiken and cheese?" Her fangs shown white as she grinned again. She looked like a fox with her ears flattened partially against her short mane of black and white hair.
"I'll be back. Don't take one eye off of her." He warned Rei, who nodded, still watching Kaouru carefully. Then he was gone again. He would be back within the hour, still anxious, still worried.
Kaouru watched after her father before turning back to Sango. "Can i get up now?" She asked, pleading.
"Why? You don't need to be anywhere but in bed." Sango said, standing over her with her hands on her hips. Looking every bit the worried mother.
Kaouru motioned for her to come close. When Sango was close enough for her to whisper in the demon slayer's ear, Kaouru half yelled, half growled. "I gotta pee!"
Okay, i got to go. I've spun out three all-nighters and i need SLEEP! ha ha ha ha ha! Bed-ness.
G'night! -me.
