Note: The next chapter should be really good! As soon as I get three more reviews I'll put up chapter six! I'm already done it but it isn't typed out yet. I worked about 5 hours on it so I hope you'll like it. Anyways thank you to everyone for reviewing!

"Kagome!"

Inuyasha dashed from the oak tree, he through himself to the ground beside Kagome. He quickly placed his head to her heart. It was still beating. That was good.

Something felt warm against his body. Inuyasha sniffed the air. Kagome's blood was all over him now. He stood up and checked for any visible wounds on Kagome.

Inuyasha found two. The first one he spotted was the one that he had made days ago. It was clean and uninfected. The other one was freshly made. Pus was clearly visible around the edges of it.

If Kagome could not treated for this soon she would have little or no chance of survival. Inuyasha had to take her Kaede.

He bent down and tried to wake the miko up. Seeing that it hurt her to open her eyes, Inuyasha stopped. He picked up Kagome and began to walk the long journey for some medical attention.

As Inuyasha placed one of his feet in front of the other the hanyou spotted someone hiding in the bushes. Whatever it was had to be the one who hurt Kagome. Then Inuyasha realized that this was a trap. And Kagome was the bait.

Quickly, Inuyasha jumped to the side. A whip came whistling to the spot where it's target had been only moments ago. It struck again, but missed as Inuyasha ran in the other direction into the dense forest.

The attacker stepped out from it's hiding spot.

Sesshomaru, his eyes plainly stating that he was pissed off, looked around. Inuyasha had fled. That wasn't supposed to happen. He was to be slaughtered along with his stupid human friend!

Sesshomaru turned violently around.

"Jaken! We're leaving!"

"Master Sesshomaru. May I ask why?"

Inuyasha's demon brother turned around as he was walking away and struck the frog/elf demon on the head.

"We're leaving."

Rin joined up with them and the trio walked into the distance.

The only evidence that showed that someone was injured there was a bloodstain spread among the grass. The area turned dead silent. It was like everything was hoping for the survival of the priestess.

-------------Back in the forest-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Every step Inuyasha took drained more energy from the hanyou's body. He had been running nonstop for about ten hours. Inuyasha could fell the blisters bursting on the soles of his feet.

Kagome hadn't woken up at all. Her weight seemed to grow from Inuyasha's lack of strength. Her blood had seeped through most of the hanyou's clothing.

The gash on her hip had become severely infected. By now she was suffering from a great amount of blood loss. Kagome's green and white school uniform was permanently died bloody red.

Panting heavily, Inuyasha stopped. He had to. It was their only hope. He gently placed Kagome onto the ground and sat down next to her. Inuyasha ripped a piece of his undershirt off, even though it was soaking wet, and put it around Kagome's waist.

Inuyasha then moved Kagome under the shade of a near by tree. He got up and looked around for some sort of water source. That would help keep Kagome alive.

To the right of where they were, Inuyasha saw a waterfall. He picked Kagome up and slung her over his shoulder and walked over to the lifesaver.

To Inuyasha and Kagome's luck there was a tree near by. There was also a cave but Kagome might catch a cold from the damp atmosphere. The tree was the best choice.

Inuyasha set Kagome down down by the trunk and went to the water to try to revive Kagome. He cupped his hands and carried the cold liquid to his unconscious friend.

He poured some on her face. Inuyasha became startled as Kagome flinched. Her condition suddenly worsened as she began to convulse.

The terrified, yet determined Inuyasha held her to the ground. He stroked her hair until she calmed down somewhat.

Clouds began to appear in the sky as the two stayed in their spot. Inuyasha looked up and smelt the air. He could smell rain. The hanyou would have to move Kagome yet again. This time into the near by cave.

The air was cold inside. It feels like an eternal winter, Inuyasha thought.

He rested Kagome down and went to go find some wood. When he returned Inuyasha started a fire. The cave warmed up immediately. The hanyou sat beside Kagome and begun to let his eyes slowly close, he fell asleep.

Outside the cave the day continued.
