Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha…to just get to the point…
That night was one of the scariest hours he had ever experienced. He sat there, at the base of the tree, through the rain, holding Kagome. Hoping, praying, that somehow she would be all right. When she was awake she would cry, but he shed no tears, for her sake. But while she slept, he would weep, brushing her face lightly with butterfly kisses. He had softly bandaged her wounds as best he could… but he wasn't sure, if she'd wake up tommorow to see the sun rise, to see her family ever again, to see Sango and the others…she would never see them again, and it was all his fault. He sat there all night with her…awake one minute and in a trance another. Finally, the sun began to rise. Inuyasha gently shook her shoulders.
"Kagome?…" He held his breath. If she was alive he could take her to the closest village. It seemed like an eternity before she answered.
"Inuyasha?" He sighed with relief, and held her close, hiding the tears as they fell uncontrollably down his face and into her raven hair. She brought her hands up and wrapped her arms around his neck for support. They sat there, crying and softly kissing each other until there were no more tears. Inuyasha stood up, picking her up as he went. He brought her closer to him as he made his way to a nearby village. When it came in sight he kissed the top of the peacefully sleeping Kagome, and raced down the hill to find a healer of some sort.
Kagome rubbed her eyes, trying to get them to focus. She started to sit up when she felt a sharp pain in her chest, and a strong hand push her back down. When her eyes did focus she looked up into a pair of stricted, but caring, amber eyes. She smiled up at him before yawning. He leaned back aggenst the wooden wall and closed his eyes, looking very stubborn.
"Good morning Inuyasha, how are you?" she sad cheerfully. He opened one eye.
"Feh…" was all he said. She glared at him.
"That's not what you were saying last night in the woods!" He looked at her sharply.
"That was a week ago…you've been out that long and the stupid old hag wont let me leave you…so just shut up." She looked down at her hands.
A week? Has it really been that long?After a while Inuyasha feel asleep, with him out of the picture for a while she could go out and get some fresh air to think. She quietly got up, ignoring the pain and tip-toed past him. She was about to go threw the thatch mat when she heard him say.
"Sit down, you need to save your strength for when we go out to find Miroku and the others…" She sighed but did as he told her to. When she was half way across the room she fell, with a 'CRASH'! She looked at her now burning ankle and started to sob. She tried to get up but couldn't find the strength to do so. It seemed that the tears had taken over. While she sat there sobbing, she felt some one's gentle hands touch her back and slowly pick her up. Through tears she could see Inuyasha as he sat down placing her in his lap. She was embarrassed for him to see her crying over a sprained ankle. But she couldn't help it, it was all she could do to hide her face in his strong shoulder. "Sshh, sshh." Inuyasha found himself whispering. He could feel her trying to stop the wild sobs. The breath caught in her throat, and her tiny body tightened with the force of a sob trying to force its way out. He found himself rocking her. She gulped for air and another sob shook her.
He began to rub her back as he rocked her. She seemed so small and slender for such deep, tearing sobs. He held her tighter, pressing her to him. After a while, her sobs quieted down to little tears…and then to sniffles.
He was afraid to move – afraid he might set her off again. He rocked her, holding her, while she sniffed and caught her breath. Then after a while, he felt her body relax against him.
She was warm and soft in his arms. And fit, somehow, with the sturdy cotton of her uniform smooth against his chest. He wanted to die right then. It was the most peaceful he had been in a long time, and he wanted to have that feeling for the rest of his life. He didn't really notice as sleep consumed him.
Kagome opened her eyes to find Inuyasha and a sky that wouldn't stop moving. It took her a while to realize that he was carriing her but when she did she relaxed. She thought about the last week and suddenly something came to her mind. She remembered going to that village and meeting Narau…then nothing. She woke up with Naraku attacking her with Inuyasha on the floor. What had happened? She brought this up to Inuyasha but he told her to be quiet so he could consentrate on trying to find either Shippo's , Sango's, or Miroku's sent. She sat there in silence for a while until she felt Inuyasha pull her closer to him. With that she smiled and enjoyed the ride.
