Chapter 5, Life in others' hands

Hirako laughed madly, and Kagome couldn't move. She stared at Inuyasha and all the blood around him.

"N-no..."

"Kagome! We have to get out of here!" Yelled Sango as she flew to Kagome. They lifted Inuyasha onto Kirara's back, and before Hirako caught them they flew away.

"Run, cowards! Soon you all will be dead!" Yelled Hirako, laughing.

"He's crazy!" Said Kagome.

"We have more important problems now. We have to go back to Kaede's village so that she can help Miroku and Inuyasha." Reminded Sango. Kagome nodded.

It was midday when they arrived back to village, and Kaede was outside waiting for them.

"Oh my God! What's happened?" She asked when she saw Inuyasha's and Miroku's wounds.

"Can you help them?" Asked Kagome, ignoring Kaede's question.

"I think so. Take them in." Answered Kaede.

Inside her house Kagome started to tend Inuyasha's wound and Sango did the same to Miroku. At the same time Kaede sifted their wounds.

"Will they be okay?" Asked Sango.

"I'm sorry my young friends, but I think they're not going to survive." Sighed Kaede. Sango and Kagome gasped in shock.

"What do you mean?" Asked Kagome.

"Because Hirako took Inuyasha's half demon powers, his body no longer heal the wounds. And I think there were poison in vampire's nails, and it get onto Miroku's blood." Told Kaede.

"Poison... is there any cure to it?" Asked Sango.

"I'm not quite sure. But I think that the vampire's blood is good enough." Answered Kaede.

"Vampire's blood?"

"The poison came from a vampire, so vampire's blood may remove it. It's the only hope now."

Sango and Kagome looked each other.

"The vampires are dead." Whispered Kagome.

"What can we do now?" Moaned Sango.

"You have to find vampire's blood. Maybe there's still bit of that." Said Kaede.

"How much time we have?" Asked Kagome.

"If you don't find the cure, Miroku dies before sunrise." Answered Kaede.

"Let's go Kagome." Said Sango.

"We'll never make it in time!" Shouted Kagome.

"I won't let Miroku die!" Yelled Sango. She seemed to be despair.

Kagome was a bit surprised about her angry tone, but nodded then. "But what about Inuyasha?"

"He has to be strong. We cannot help him now." Said Kaede.

"But he has lost much blood..." Mumbled Kagome.

"We cannot do anything for him now. I can try to stop the wound bleeding, but you have to take care of Miroku now." Said Kaede.

"She's right. It's the only thing we can do now." Agreed Sango. Kagome nodded a bit begrudgingly, and then they left the house. They climbed on Kirara's back and started to fly towards the mountains.

"Be careful, young maidens... your friend's life is in your hands now." Mumbled Kaede, looking after the girls. Then she walked back to her house.

Inuyasha's wound was bleeding, and he seemed to be very weak. Miroku had hard pains because of the poison in his body. Kaede knew that they hadn't much time left.

Will the girls make it in time... And what if they won't?
