Arightly then let's set this fucker off.
And YES It's the chick from the show, I just can't remember her name. I think it starts with K. But everything starts with a K. Oh yeah just to set everyone straight, when I say Remington or 870, I mean the shotgun. It's a Reminton 870. Aslso sorry for writing so much, but hey, it's a week late, so it's kinda a trade off.
-Johnny Walker
InuYasha lit his cigarette and put the newly purchased pack in his jacket. He began the walk through the night to the Town Hall to pick up some supplies from a woman who looked like a pirate and was old enough to be one too.
He rounded the corner. A women was being dragged into an alley by two men. This was something he didn't want to be involved in. He had a nose for shit like that. He kept walking. Behind him a pair of footsteps ceased.
He looked over his shoulder. "You want me to help, don't you?" Kagome nodded. He sighed. This was gonna lead to something he didn't need, he knew it.
He stepped into the alley. The men turned on him, one was armed. He introduced them to a friend close to his heart. A little lower and to the left to be exact. His friend made three profound points.
InuYasha holstered his .45 and walked out. He once again headed for the town hall. Behind him two pairs of footsteps caught up with him. Fuck, she just HAD to be charitable. For some reason he felt like someone had punched him in the kidney.
Inside InuYasha stocked up on ammuntion, food, and anything brown and in a bottle. The pain is his side grow slightly.
Kagome was talking with the woman he had just saved from an undignified death in a dark alley. She came over to him. "She say's her name is-" Kagome began. "I don't care." Fuck, why did his side hurt.. "She has to get home some how InuYasha!" He looked at her for a second. "And you want me to make sure she does right?" Silence. "You and your fucking sympathy. It's gonna get me fuckin' killed. Aright, gimme a minute." He walked over to the bathroom.
He took off his shirt and lifted his undershirt a bit to look at his side. FUCK! FUCK FUCK FUCK! People have been shot by .22 LR rounds and not even known it. Problem was they tended to richochet off bone and fuck up organs. FUCK! InuYasha put a band aid over the small hole. Threw his shirt back on and walked out like nothing had happened.
They reached the small farm house with out incident. The young woman lived with what InuYasha guessed was her uncle. They said that the men (Still) in the alley were members of a local gang that had been giving the old man hell. InuYasha scowled. He would help the family. He hated gangs. Todays gangs were a bunch of wanna be idoits that brought shame to the name gang. At least Dean O'Brian and the like had a code of honor. No kids, no women, never in front of the family. They at least were gentlemen about it. Not these assholes. Running around fucked up on pot and crack and shit. Barely able to speak english. Shooting randomly at anything they see as a threat. Fuckers.
A noise from out side foucused InuYasha thoughts like only the hammer of a revolver could.
Doors, windows they seemed to come from everywhere. Tetsaiga twirled in InuYasha's hand. Explosions filled the room. There was no cover, there survival depended on only his speed and accuracy. He crouched to present a smaller target but stay mobile. No stance this time. No sights either. He fired from the hip. Men burst in and were cut down.
The room was empty for now, InuYasha relaoded. More men were outside. The old man was down. It didn't take a second look to know he had bought it. His side raged. He had seen a truck out front. The keys were on a table. He grabbed them and hollered for the girls to follow him.
He ran out the front door, the girls in tow. "The back get in the back!" For the first angonzing seconds of thier run all was quiet. The world slowed. Kagome watched the dirt kicked up behind InuYasha linger in air with fasination, she noted the make and model of the truck with boredem as she ran to it. Then the shouting started. Time cuaght up with her. The truck was suddenly in front of her. She threw her self over and stayed on her back to stay covered. The girl climbed in behind her. They slid to the back as they sped away.
Back at the Town Hall Kagome was cathing her breath on a couch in the lobby. She had lost her backpack but that was ok, nothing..... fuck! "InuYasha!" "What?" "I kinda... left the jewel in the house.." "God.. fucking.. DAMMIT!"
InuYasha stormed into to the part of the hall that served as the police station. GOD DAMN... this was NOT what he needed NOT now! His sided raged. Part of his shirt was wet . He must of done something during the fight. FUCK! He found the room he was looking for. A rack of shotguns lined the wall. He reached for one too quickly. Pain shot through his side.
Kagome walked into the room to find InuYasha clutching his side and leaning agaist the wall. Something was wrong. "InuYasha.. are you OK?" For a minute he didn't answer. "Yeah.." He gasped "I'm fine." He striaghtened up but kept his hand on his side. Blood began to drip through his fingers. "You've been shot!" Kagome said in alarm. She tried to guide him to a chair but he shook her off. "I'm fine.." "But your bleeding like crazy! Please.. sit down, we'll get you a doctor." He took a Remington off the rack and found a box of shells. "I'm fine! If it hasn't killed me in the last two hours it won't kill me now!" He began to load shells. "Two hours! How in the... you were shot in the alley! Why didn't you tell me? I wouldn't of made you go!" InuYasha stopped loading the shotgun and looked up at her. "Would you have trusted me to protect you if you knew I was wounded?" He got up and headed for the door.
"InuYasha... How can you even say that? After all I've followed you through! Can't you trust me as your friend?" She asked, anger overriding the hurt in her voice. He paused at the door and looked back over his shoulder. "I don't have friends kid." He walked out.
InuYasha began the half mile walk to the farm house, reciever of the Remington grasped in his left hand, the box of shells in his jacket pocket. The ache in his side was still there.
Kagome waited untill she could barley see him and began to follow him. That bastard wasn't going to run off wounded and die! Not with out an apoligy! About 100 yards from the farm house the road curved around a group of trees.She rouned the corner. InuYasha was gone. "Don't follow me." Kagome looked in suprise to her right. He wasn't even looking at her.
InuYasha ran the last 50 yards to the house. He threw his back agaist the wall next to the door and pumped the shotgun. He put the barrel under the knob and braced him self for the report.
The door exploded, wood splinters flying everywhere. The knob hng by what little remained of the locking mechainism. InuYasha felt concussion from the blast agaist his face. He charged the shotgun and kicked in the door.
There was a stunned and confused looking man right in front of InuYasha. He didn't stay confused for long. The blast from the shotgun sent him flying across the room. InuYasha sidestepped into the next room and used the door frame as cover, two men were across the room, there reactions were better, they brought there gusn to bare on him. He pulled the handgrip back towards the receiver, an empty shell, it's brief yet vital part in the play finished, barley bounced when it hit the ground. The next shell was brought into the chamber for it's part.
He jammed the 870 around the corner and fired blindly. He was rewarded with a scream. Girp back, next shell up. InuYasha did something he would later be informend is called a "SWAT roll." He spun into the doorway and brought the gun up to his shoulder in the same movement. The gun pushed agaist his shoulder twice. Once as the man ran into the barrel and again as the powder ignited behind the buckshot. Grip back, shell up.
Kagome looked at the house. Something had gone wrong. Something had gone wrong or was about to go wrong a voice in her head screamed at her.
Feet began to pound down the stairs to his right. He brought his back agaist the closet door under the stairs And fired indiscrimanty up the stairs. Some thing heavy fell down them. He charged the next shell. It sounded like more people were upstairs. He ran up. A man was siloutted agaist a window.
Kagome ran towards the house barely noticing the weight of the pistol in her hand. Something has gone wrong a voice in her head screamed. Anthor boom echoed through the house. Above her a window shattered and glass rained down.
She barged in what was left of the front door. Dark shapes lie all around her. There was movement upstairs, she ran up, the thought of being shot didn't worry her. Only the thought of finding InuYasha before something happened. And something was going to happen. Something bad. She could feel it.
One room left. InuYasha loaded the last shell.
Kagome found InuYasha about to enter a room. She couldn't let him enter! Something was going to happen if he did! She made a noise to stop him, to draw his attention as she ran towards him. He looked up briefly.
The world slowed down. He turned to look at her. Some else appered from a hall way running perpendicular to the one they were in. The shotgun swung to InuYasha's shoulder in slow motion. For an life time, half a second perhaps, he took aim. The wall behind the man exploded in a shower of plaster and wood. Kagome threw her self agaist the wall in reaction. The man went down. She looked up. InuYasha had dropped the shotgun and had drawn his .45. He kicked in the door. The world still turned in slow motion.
Explosions came from inside the room, Kagome ran down the hall, She turned and was looking into the room.
The gun leaped in InuYasha's hand. There was five men when he entered the room. Now there was three. He fired two into one man's 10 ring and the last round into the forehead of one other. His gun locked back in the empty postion. The final man didn't have a gun, only a knife and was closing fast. He didn't have time to reload.
The man thrust the knife at his ribs. InuYasha pivoted on his foot and grabbed the man's arm, directing it away from him. He brought the 1911A1 down on the man's neck. the man fell to the ground motionless. He looked towards Kagome "I told you not to follow me!" He took a step forward.
"INUYASHA!"
The knife cut into his side about a foot above his wound. The man he had just hit was not dead. InuYasha swung the .45 in reaction, it cracked agaist the man's head. Hard. InuYasha didn't even notice. He just stared directly in front of him.
He stumbled a little. He put has hand out to steady himself agiast a wall. His breathing came heavy now. His hand slammed agaist a stero harder then expected.
Maybe it was Kagome's imagination but tought she could hear a guitar over deafness that filled her ears from the fighting. She walked to InuYasha's side. He couldn't even look up. She tried to guide him out of the room. The bodies and and smell of blood was begining to sicken her. He tried to take a step. His leg failed on him.
Kagome caught him on his way down and he again used the wall to steady himself. He gestured weakly at a table. The glass jar she had been keeping the jewel in was there. She left him leaning agiast the wall.
By the time she got back InuYasha had dropped his jacket. Blood stained the side the white dress shirt he always wore. He was hunched over staring at the ground.
Her hearing began to return. It wasn't her imagination, he had turned the stero on. "Let's get you out of here." she muttered. God the smell! Her stomach turned. She threw InuYasha's arm over her shoulders and began to try and walk him out. She could feel the blood running down his side. She nearly vomited. As they walked out in to the blackened hall way, a voice began to eminate from the speakers.
Babe, Baby baby I'm gonna leave you.
As they walked into the hall way they passed the last man to fall to the 870. GOD! Most of his torso was just gone! Fucking gone! The world began to swim.
I said baby, you know I'm gonna leave you.
He had refused to drop his gun. Kagome took it form him and give him hers. He was better with it.
I'll leave you when the summertime...
They were coming up on the stairs, Kagome hoped InuYasha could make it.
Leave you when the summer comes a rollin',
They were half way down. He was taking it easy, making sure both feet were on a stair before moving on. He leaned more heavily agiast her.
I'll leave you when the summer comes along.
They made it down the stairs. Kagome's fists clenched. Oh God! The smell! The world began to blur. She moved her head down and to the side.
Baby, Baby I don't wanna leave you,
Kagome's eyes widened in horror at was left of the man slumped agaist the wall. His chest lie ripepd open, dark shapes falling out. Her knuckles whitened as her fists clenched involitarily. Bile rose in her throat.His eyes! Oh God, those eyes! Empty acussing eyes! Oh God! Air! She needed air! She nearly dragged InuYasha to the door.
I ain't jokin' woman I got to ramble,
She stumbled into the night, barely manging to keep them both on there feet. There was no moon, she could barely she. Where could she take him? She remembered a shed to the east, she headed along a trial beaten to the grass.
Oh, yeah, baby, baby, I'm believin'
The shed was only about fifty feet away now. She didn't know if she could make it. The image of the dead men filtered up through the darkness. InuYasha's breathing got heavier and heavier, he still hadn't looked up. Her side was covered in his blood. She didn't know if she could keep her legs working.
We really got to ramble.
The world was dark. Darker than it should be. Even for a moonless night. InuYasha couldn't feel his right side. he could barely move his feet, if he looked up he would probably forget how. His lungs strainded for breath. The ground under his feet changed, a rough wood floor replaced the grass. He could feel his lungs weaken...
I can hear it calling me the way it used to do,
Kagome closed the door, there was still enough starlight to see.
I can hear it callin' me back home!
He could only see black now, silence deafed him. His whole body was numb, he had no proof he was alive. His lungs faltered. Conciouness ceased.
Babe... I'm gonna leave you.
Kagome tried to catch him but only managed to lower him to the ground gentely, his chest heaved. Sweat powered down his face.
Oh baby, you know I've really got to leave you.
Kagome could only stare in horror as he began to die in front of her. She fell agaist the wall and sank down overwhelmed. She couldn't take it all in.
Oh, I can hear it callin' me,
There was nothing she could do, she just sat next to him. His breath shallowed and became irregular. He was losing the battle. He was dieing. Kagome was racked with guilt. He was dieing. He was dieing becuase she had made him go immedatly, with out checking to see if he was ok. He was dieing becuase he wasted his last shell saving her. She didn't have to go in that house, he was dieing becuase she listened to a little voice in the back of her head! He was dieing becuase she had been stupid enough to forget the jewel! Tears of anguish and guilt decended down her face as InuYasha decended deeper into darkness.
I said can't you hear it callin' me the way it used to do?
Kagome didn't know how long she sat next to him, a minute, an hour, a lifetime. The music continued then faded. Silence filled the shed. Kagome found a rag in her pocket and wiped some of the sweat from his face. When she removed the rag he opened his eyes weakly.
For a second she could only look at him for a second.t. "InuYahsa.. you.. are you.." "Head fuckin' kills.. Got a pillow?" Kagome looked arond the shed, all she had was her coat, but that was stained with his blood. She thought for a minute. "Hold still." She said folding her legs under her. She picked up his head and placed it on her lap. He managed to mutter his thanks.
He looked at her puzzled for a moment. "You've.. you've been crying?" Kagome relised she hadn't wiped the tears from her eyes. "InuYasha.. I thought you were gonna leave me.. I thought you were going to die becuase of something stupid I did." He was awake, he was concious, he couldn't die now! It didn't work that way! He was getting Better! He would live wouldn't he?
He just stare at her. Several times it looked like he was going to say something, but he could never find the words. "Kagome... about what I said back there.. I'm sorry." He said it like it was something he really wanted to say, but at the same time resented having to say it, something he was pressured into saying. Kagome looked at him startled, why was he telling her that? Becuase he thought he wasn't going to make it? No! He was going to live! That wasn't it! "I never trust any one.. it's just the way I am, but I was wrong back there.. I trust you." Kagome didn't know what to say. He had closed his eyes and fallen back asleep. But he wasn't fighting for his life now, he was just sleeping blissfully.
Kagome for the first time relised how young he acctuly was. Barely older than her. He was going to make it. She knew it for sure now. She crossed her arms over his chest and ;ayed one hand gently on his throat so she could feel his breathing and pulse. Just in case. She closed her eyes.
The late the next morning they walked out of the shed and started home.

It's gonna get me fuckin' killed. Aright, gimme a minute." He walked over to the bathroom.
He took off his shirt and lifted his undershirt a bit to look at his side. FUCK! FUCK FUCK FUCK! People have been shot by .22 LR rounds and not even known it.

A noise from out side foucused InuYasha thoughts like only the hammer of a revolver could.
Doors, windows they seemed to come from everywhere. Tetsaiga twirled in InuYasha's hand. Explosions filled the room. There was no cover, there survival depended on only his speed and accuracy. He crouched to present a smaller target but stay mobile. No stance this time. No sights either. He fired from the hip. Men burst in and were cut down.

InuYasha stormed into to the part of the hall that served as the police station. GOD DAMN... this was NOT what he needed NOT now! His sided raged. Part of his shirt was wet . He must of done something during the fight. FUCK! He found the room he was looking for. A rack of shotguns lined the wall. He reached for one too quickly. Pain shot through his side.
Kagome walked into the room to find InuYasha clutching his side and leaning agaist the wall. Something was wrong. "InuYasha.. are you OK?" For a minute he didn't answer. "Yeah.." He gasped "I'm fine." He striaghtened up but kept his hand on his side. Blood began to drip through his fingers. "You've been shot!" Kagome said in alarm. She tried to guide him to a chair but he shook her off. "I'm fine.." "But your bleeding like crazy! Please.. sit down, we'll get you a doctor." He took a Remington off the rack and found a box of shells. "I'm fine! If it hasn't killed me in the last two hours it won't kill me now!" He began to load shells. "Two hours! How in the... you were shot in the alley! Why didn't you tell me? I wouldn't of made you go!" InuYasha stopped loading the shotgun and looked up at her. "Would you have trusted me to protect you if you knew I was wounded?" He got up and headed for the door.
"InuYasha... How can you even say that? After all I've followed you through! Can't you trust me as your friend?" She asked, anger overriding the hurt in her voice. He paused at the door and looked back over his shoulder. "I don't have friends kid." He walked out.
InuYasha began the half mile walk to the farm house, reciever of the Remington grasped in his left hand, the box of shells in his jacket pocket. The ache in his side was still there.
Kagome waited untill she could barley see him and began to follow him. That bastard wasn't going to run off wounded and die! Not with out an apoligy! About 100 yards from the farm house the road curved around a group of trees.She rouned the corner. InuYasha was gone. "Don't follow me." Kagome looked in suprise to her right. He wasn't even looking at her.
InuYasha ran the last 50 yards to the house. He threw his back agaist the wall next to the door and pumped the shotgun. He put the barrel under the knob and braced him self for the report.
The door exploded, wood splinters flying everywhere. The knob hng by what little remained of the locking mechainism. InuYasha felt concussion from the blast agaist his face. He charged the shotgun and kicked in the door.
There was a stunned and confused looking man right in front of InuYasha. He didn't stay confused for long. The blast from the shotgun sent him flying across the room. InuYasha sidestepped into the next room and used the door frame as cover, two men were across the room, there reactions were better, they brought there gusn to bare on him. He pulled the handgrip back towards the receiver, an empty shell, it's brief yet vital part in the play finished, barley bounced when it hit the ground. The next shell was brought into the chamber for it's part.
He jammed the 870 around the corner and fired blindly. He was rewarded with a scream. Girp back, next shell up. InuYasha did something he would later be informend is called a "SWAT roll." He spun into the doorway and brought the gun up to his shoulder in the same movement. The gun pushed agaist his shoulder twice. Once as the man ran into the barrel and again as the powder ignited behind the buckshot. Grip back, shell up.
Kagome looked at the house. Something had gone wrong. Something had gone wrong or was about to go wrong a voice in her head screamed at her.
Feet began to pound down the stairs to his right. He brought his back agaist the closet door under the stairs And fired indiscrimanty up the stairs. Some thing heavy fell down them. He charged the next shell. It sounded like more people were upstairs. He ran up. A man was siloutted agaist a window.
Kagome ran towards the house barely noticing the weight of the pistol in her hand. Something has gone wrong a voice in her head screamed. Anthor boom echoed through the house. Above her a window shattered and glass rained down.
She barged in what was left of the front door. Dark shapes lie all around her. There was movement upstairs, she ran up, the thought of being shot didn't worry her. Only the thought of finding InuYasha before something happened. And something was going to happen. Something bad. She could feel it.
One room left. InuYasha loaded the last shell.
Kagome found InuYasha about to enter a room. She couldn't let him enter! Something was going to happen if he did! She made a noise to stop him, to draw his attention as she ran towards him. He looked up briefly.
The world slowed down. He turned to look at her. Some else appered from a hall way running perpendicular to the one they were in. The shotgun swung to InuYasha's shoulder in slow motion. For an life time, half a second perhaps, he took aim. The wall behind the man exploded in a shower of plaster and wood. Kagome threw her self agaist the wall in reaction. The man went down. She looked up. InuYasha had dropped the shotgun and had drawn his .45. He kicked in the door. The world still turned in slow motion.
Explosions came from inside the room, Kagome ran down the hall, She turned and was looking into the room.
The gun leaped in InuYasha's hand. There was five men when he entered the room. Now there was three. He fired two into one man's 10 ring and the last round into the forehead of one other. His gun locked back in the empty postion. The final man didn't have a gun, only a knife and was closing fast. He didn't have time to reload.
The man thrust the knife at his ribs. InuYasha pivoted on his foot and grabbed the man's arm, directing it away from him. He brought the 1911A1 down on the man's neck. the man fell to the ground motionless. He looked towards Kagome "I told you not to follow me!" He took a step forward.
"INUYASHA!"
The knife cut into his side about a foot above his wound. The man he had just hit was not dead. InuYasha swung the .45 in reaction, it cracked agaist the man's head. Hard. InuYasha didn't even notice. He just stared directly in front of him.
He stumbled a little. He put has hand out to steady himself agiast a wall. His breathing came heavy now. His hand slammed agaist a stero harder then expected.
Maybe it was Kagome's imagination but tought she could hear a guitar over deafness that filled her ears from the fighting. She walked to InuYasha's side. He couldn't even look up. She tried to guide him out of the room. The bodies and and smell of blood was begining to sicken her. He tried to take a step. His leg failed on him.
Kagome caught him on his way down and he again used the wall to steady himself. He gestured weakly at a table. The glass jar she had been keeping the jewel in was there. She left him leaning agiast the wall.
By the time she got back InuYasha had dropped his jacket. Blood stained the side the white dress shirt he always wore. He was hunched over staring at the ground.
Her hearing began to return. It wasn't her imagination, he had turned the stero on. "Let's get you out of here." she muttered. God the smell! Her stomach turned. She threw InuYasha's arm over her shoulders and began to try and walk him out. She could feel the blood running down his side. She nearly vomited. As they walked out in to the blackened hall way, a voice began to eminate from the speakers.
Babe, Baby baby I'm gonna leave you.
As they walked into the hall way they passed the last man to fall to the 870. GOD! Most of his torso was just gone! Fucking gone! The world began to swim.
I said baby, you know I'm gonna leave you.
He had refused to drop his gun. Kagome took it form him and give him hers. He was better with it.
I'll leave you when the summertime...
They were coming up on the stairs, Kagome hoped InuYasha could make it.
Leave you when the summer comes a rollin',
They were half way down. He was taking it easy, making sure both feet were on a stair before moving on. He leaned more heavily agiast her.
I'll leave you when the summer comes along.
They made it down the stairs. Kagome's fists clenched. Oh God! The smell! The world began to blur. She moved her head down and to the side.
Baby, Baby I don't wanna leave you,
Kagome's eyes widened in horror at was left of the man slumped agaist the wall. His chest lie ripepd open, dark shapes falling out. Her knuckles whitened as her fists clenched involitarily. Bile rose in her throat.His eyes! Oh God, those eyes! Empty acussing eyes! Oh God! Air! She needed air! She nearly dragged InuYasha to the door.
I ain't jokin' woman I got to ramble,
She stumbled into the night, barely manging to keep them both on there feet. There was no moon, she could barely she. Where could she take him? She remembered a shed to the east, she headed along a trial beaten to the grass.
Oh, yeah, baby, baby, I'm believin'
The shed was only about fifty feet away now. She didn't know if she could make it. The image of the dead men filtered up through the darkness. InuYasha's breathing got heavier and heavier, he still hadn't looked up. Her side was covered in his blood. She didn't know if she could keep her legs working.
We really got to ramble.
The world was dark. Darker than it should be. Even for a moonless night. InuYasha couldn't feel his right side. he could barely move his feet, if he looked up he would probably forget how. His lungs strainded for breath. The ground under his feet changed, a rough wood floor replaced the grass. He could feel his lungs weaken...
I can hear it calling me the way it used to do,
Kagome closed the door, there was still enough starlight to see.
I can hear it callin' me back home!
He could only see black now, silence deafed him. His whole body was numb, he had no proof he was alive. His lungs faltered. Conciouness ceased.
Babe... I'm gonna leave you.
Kagome tried to catch him but only managed to lower him to the ground gentely, his chest heaved. Sweat powered down his face.
Oh baby, you know I've really got to leave you.
Kagome could only stare in horror as he began to die in front of her. She fell agaist the wall and sank down overwhelmed. She couldn't take it all in.
Oh, I can hear it callin' me,
There was nothing she could do, she just sat next to him. His breath shallowed and became irregular. He was losing the battle. He was dieing. Kagome was racked with guilt. He was dieing. He was dieing becuase she had made him go immedatly, with out checking to see if he was ok. He was dieing becuase he wasted his last shell saving her. She didn't have to go in that house, he was dieing becuase she listened to a little voice in the back of her head! He was dieing becuase she had been stupid enough to forget the jewel! Tears of anguish and guilt decended down her face as InuYasha decended deeper into darkness.
I said can't you hear it callin' me the way it used to do?
Kagome didn't know how long she sat next to him, a minute, an hour, a lifetime. The music continued then faded. Silence filled the shed. Kagome found a rag in her pocket and wiped some of the sweat from his face. When she removed the rag he opened his eyes weakly.
For a second she could only look at him for a second.t. "InuYahsa.. you.. are you.." "Head fuckin' kills.. Got a pillow?" Kagome looked arond the shed, all she had was her coat, but that was stained with his blood. She thought for a minute. "Hold still." She said folding her legs under her. She picked up his head and placed it on her lap. He managed to mutter his thanks.
He looked at her puzzled for a moment. "You've.. you've been crying?" Kagome relised she hadn't wiped the tears from her eyes. "InuYasha.. I thought you were gonna leave me.. I thought you were going to die becuase of something stupid I did." He was awake, he was concious, he couldn't die now! It didn't work that way! He was getting Better! He would live wouldn't he?
He just stare at her. Several times it looked like he was going to say something, but he could never find the words. "Kagome... about what I said back there.. I'm sorry." He said it like it was something he really wanted to say, but at the same time resented having to say it, something he was pressured into saying. Kagome looked at him startled, why was he telling her that? Becuase he thought he wasn't going to make it? No! He was going to live! That wasn't it! "I never trust any one.. it's just the way I am, but I was wrong back there.. I trust you." Kagome didn't know what to say. He had closed his eyes and fallen back asleep. But he wasn't fighting for his life now, he was just sleeping blissfully.
Kagome for the first time relised how young he acctuly was. Barely older than her. He was going to make it. She knew it for sure now. She crossed her arms over his chest and ;ayed one hand gently on his throat so she could feel his breathing and pulse. Just in case. She closed her eyes.
The late the next morning they walked out of the shed and started home.
