Don't Let Go

Chapter 3: Inuyasha's Decision

By: Roses of Chaos

Inuyasha held Kagome's head in his lap as he fed her small sips of ramen broth, making sure not to allow it to go down the wrong pipe. She still slept, and Inuyasha was at a loss how to wake her.

"Oh Kagome," he said aloud, his worry taking its toll on his voice. She laid there peacefully for a while, but soon, her body began to shake uncontrollably, and she moaned in agony. Inuyasha held her tight as her body rolled beneath him.

'That's the third time in two hours' he said to himself. "She is still cold as ice, and her pain seems to be quickening." The ordeal was over in a matter of minutes, but to Inuyasha, it seemed too long.

It was now the middle of the fourth day, and Inuyasha had still failed to raise her body temperature. 'How am I going to get her warm?' he thought to himself. Then suddenly, like light from the sun, it came to him.

"My body heat will warm you up Sango." Miroku smirked as he patted on his blankets. "Body heat is the best way to keep from freezing."

"That's it!" Inuyasha replied. Removing all of his clothing, he wrapped a blanket around his waist, allowing it to stop at his mid thigh. He crawled under the blankets next to Kagome. Careful not to touch her in any inappropriate spots, he wrapped his arms and legs around her, and pressed his chest to her back. He rested his head on her cheek.

"Come on Kagome." he encouraged her. "You can fight this. You are stronger than this!" He laid there, wrapped around the frozen girl for hours. As he drifted off to sleep, he felt a chill touch his hand. His eyes flung open and looked down. There it was… Kagome's hand. She held his so tightly. Inuyasha turned her around gently and looked at her face. "Kagome?" he asked, not expecting a reply. But much to his surprise, her eyes opened slowly.

'Inu-Inuyasha' she whispered weakly. "Don't leave me" she pleaded. Inuyasha's brow furrowed. "Never" he promised.

"I'm staying with you so you better get used to it" he exclaimed with a small smirk. Kagome mustered a weakly smile. Then her eyes closed. "I'll never leave you." he whispered softly in her ear. He pulled her close to him, to allow his body heat to warm her. They both fell asleep, wrapped in each others arms as the fire burned throughout the night.

The wind began to blow brutally into the cave. Snowflakes fluttered into the entrance, landing on Inuyasha's nose. The half demon was still wrapped around Kagome, who had slept peacefully for most of the night. Her body temperature had finally returned, though on occasion, Inuyasha would hear her cough. He watched her inventively, his emotions running wild inside.

'I don't know what I would do if something happened to her.' he thought to himself. "Oh Kagome. If only I could tell you how I feel. But… I just can't do it." He kept his gaze on the fragile girl in his arms. Her hair was dry and knotted, and her comp lection was still pale. Suddenly, Kagome began to shake uncontrollably. Inuyasha held her steady, but this time, her seizures would not submit. She cried out in pain, her bandages soaked with blood as her wounds pored freely.

"KAGOME!" he cried out. He tried to calm her down, but nothing worked. Inuyasha felt helpless. All he could do was hold her, watch her, and listen to her agonizing screams and shrieks. Blood trickled from her lip as she bit down, her teeth clenching in pain.

"Oh Kagome," he whispered softly as she finally settled down. He laid her on her back and placed his head just above her chest. Her heartbeat was fading, and Inuyasha could sense it. "What do I do?" he asked himself, but no answer came. He looked sadly at the young, pale girl. He held her in his arms as he held her in his heart, lovingly and gentle.

It was now the evening of the sixth day, and Inuyasha's hope began to turn to despair. 'Time is running out.' he thought to himself. "Where are you guys?"
