Ugh, this one is disgustingly cute.

Kagome stared through the hole in the desk at InuYasha. He rushed at Sesshomaru. There was a brief struggle. InuYasha was pushed backwards. No one moved. Then Sesshomaru aimed the gun in his hand to his left. Kagome couldn't be sure, but that looked like Tetsiagia... the lights dimmed and what the hell was that? There was no time to wonder as InuYasha threw him self against his brother. Another struggle. Oh God, something's wrong with InuYasha. Something's wrong! InuYasha dropped to his knees. Oh God! His hand was on his stomach, he saw his left arm pull at something, then his hand shot out, sending a line of something red through the air. In his hand was an object that was alternately shiny and red. Her stomach dropped out. Oh Jesus that was a knife.

Kagome threw her self over the desk as Miroku yelled at her to stay put and fired at Sesshomaru. But she kept running. InuYasha was going to die if no one helped! InuYasha raised his right hand, an explosion echoed throughout the room and Sesshomaru screamed in pain as his arm flew off. InuYasha fell down, his brother retreating. Oh Jesus! InuYasha... his head and right arm went limp. Please God don't let him be dead! A sickening feeling grew in her gut.

InuYasha had no idea where he was. It was dark. His whole body was numb. His eyes might of been opened or closed. Didn't matter here. Where ever here was..

What happened? The last thing he remembered was... Kikyo. Kikyo aiming a gun at me. It was yesterday again. Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away, now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh I believe in yesterday.

Two gun shots. I kill Kikyo. And she kills me. Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be. There's a shadow hanging over me. Oh yesterday came suddenly.

The thoughts popped unbidden into his head. Naraku tricked two lovers into killing each other. But I didn't die.. There was a doctor looking over me, saying for three minutes my heart had stopped. Naraku had been keeping tabs on them for years. I hadn't actually seen Kikyo when she betrayed me.. It all meant something.. but what? Who was Naraku? Where was he?

InuYasha's eyes flickered open and the world returned to him. Shit.. I had been stabbed, then everything went black.. and now here I am. He was in a bed, and his chest was covered in bandages. It was night. Moonlight filtered through a window. His eyes quickly adjusted to the dark. His shirt, under shirt and jacket were folded on a small table next to the window. Also on the table were Tetsiagia, smokes and his switchblade. He frowned at the treacherous blade. That's the second time I've been stabbed by the damned thing..

InuYasha sat up. OH FUCK! Bad move.. he needed a moment to focus again. Damn that had hurt.. He had to prop himself up with his hand. Jesus I'm weak..

There was something he should remember. Damn it, he had it only a little while ago. Wait, when was a little while ago? He racked his brain. What was I doing when I thought about it? ... he drew a blank. Not even a hint of when it was. Fuck! It was important too!

He retraced his steps. I was fighting my brother... I was in a tunnel.. then in a bank..I was walking, Kagome was there.. I was looking at a sheet of paper.. Kikyo! It had something to do with Kikyo! What Godamn it?

InuYasha gave up and rearranged his legs so he could lean forward and keep most of the pressure off his wound. Kikyo.. why she had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't say.. I said something wrong.. InuYasha stared at the bed. Now I long for yesterday.

He held his face in his hand then ran his hand through his hair. Where had it all gone wrong? He looked around the room. There was a chair by the door.. and something in it. He trained his eyes on the chair... Kagome? She had fallen asleep in the chair. Jesus, not even a blanket or pillow. What the hell was she thinking? Stupid girl..

InuYasha swung his legs over the edge of the bed and took a breather before trying to stand. Fuck I'm weak. He stood up and swayed. He held on to the table for support. He noticed he still his jeans on. I prolly shoulda thought about that earlier...

Confident he could stand he tried to pull a blanket off the bed. And end snagged under the matress and InuYasha collasped loudly against the table, somehow managing to stay upright.

Kagome woke up and immedatly shot out of the chair and to his side. She helped steady him. "InuYasha.. you're still hurt, don't try and get up." "I'm fine." He spat through gritted teeth. "Please, just go back to bed.. your still weak.." InuYasha looked at her, staring up at him with eyes wide with relief and concern, clutching his arm. Jesus don't look at me like that, I'm not worth your concern.. "Alright fine, but take a Godamn pillow or blanket for your self, or go find your own bed."

To add insult to his weakened state, Kagome was able to push him over to the bed. Jesus I'm in bad shape.. he fell down on the bed weakly. As he slipped back into unconciousness he was aware of Kagome gathering up the discarded blanket and placing it over him. Fuck, don't worry about me Kagome, I'm not worth it..

When he opened his eyes it was... well the sun was out. He managed to sit up with only a shit load of pain, but it no longer phased him. Kagome was wandering around the room and turned around at the sound of him stirring.

"Good morning, feeling better?" She smiled at him. InuYasha was too out of it from pain killers or pain to be grumpy so he just muttered "Good mornin' " in a daze. "So are you doing better today?" "Good enough.. I'm hungry as hell though.." "Well you've been out a week, I would imagine so, I'll be right back with food." "Okay" InuYasha muttered through the haze. Food, I wonder what'll... A WEEK? HOLY SHIT! No fucking wonder he was so weak... Godamn that knife did a number on him.

With Kagome gone, he tried out his legs. He managed to stand and even walk across the room with barely any swaying. He was about to put on his shirt when he heard footsteps down the hall. He hurried back into the bed and tried to look as out of it as possible. Might as well get breakfast in bed outta this.

Kagome returned with a tray of food and placed it on the table where he could reach it from the bed, and pulled the chair close to the table so she could reach her share. InuYasha looked at the food. Fish. He had never liked fish, but he knew with how hungry he was the table would taste good.

InuYasha took his plate, accidentally knocking a fork off the table. "I'll get it, you eat." Kagome said before reaching down and picking the utensil up. When she looked up she felt her eyes widen in awe.

His entire plate was clean. She couldn't of bent down for more than five seconds.. Jesus Christ.

InuYasha tried to look innocent. Sure it unnecessary, hell even uncultured of him to swallow the whole Godamn thing. But he was hungry. And injured. He had an excuse.

Kagome merely smiled and offered him her plate. InuYasha loked at the plate, then back at Kagome. She was just smiling at him. She had that damned look in her eye he could never understand. But suddenly his wound didn't hurt as much, and he didn't mind being shirtless in the middle of February. He took the plate from her and promptly devoured it.

Eating, which had been number one on his list, done, InuYasha was ready to pass out again. "Hold on, your bandages are bloody again, let me change 'em first." Kagome said. "I got a better plan, I've been out for a week, so I'm gonna take a shower, then you can put on fresh banadges. " Kagome giggled. "Well ya do smell.." "Thanks."

InuYasha swung out of bed and grabbed his shirt before staggering toward the door. Kagome helped steady him and led him out the door into what looked like a an apartment. He could still smell the fish from the kitchen area. Damn that had tasted good...

Kagome turned away from the kitchen/living room to another door at the end of the hall and let InuYasha in. He looked at him self in the mirror. Fuck. His eyes were baggy, and his whole body seemed thinner than normal. Well, he had taken a Godamn knife to the gut.

When he opened the door Kagome was still there, waiting for him with bandages in hand. He managed to walk back to the room by him self, but Kagome hovered close just in case.

Back in the room, InuYasha sat down on the bed, and he felt the slight change in the slope of the mattress as Kagome sat down behind him. "Ya know ya had us worried buddy." she said as she started working. "Wha do ya mean?" "You should be dead. The doctor said the entrance wound was right in front of your diaphragm, but when he went in, there were no wounds or marks on any organs." Well that was a lie. The doc said there were marks that looked like it had healed on his own, but no need to tell InuYasha that. "You're a lucky guy."

InuYasha was silent. "And where are we?" he asked after a moment. "Same town as Kaede, we knew we couldn't take you to a hospitial so Miroku hot wired a car and we brought ya here." What she didn't say was that during the car ride Kagome had sat in the back seat with a still bleeding InuYasha laid down with his head in her lap, writhing in pain. Jesus there had been blood everywhere.. "When we got here Kaede had a doctor called in. After he was done we took ya to an apartment where you could recover." "Miroku and Sango?" "Went off to bring the bikes back." "Sango went alone with Miroku?" "Yeah." "HA!"

Sango stared at the rose in shock. "I just wanted to make up for the poor impression I made the other day." More shock. "I was over exuberant in my willingness to assist a woman of your beauty." Sango raised an eyebrow. Maybe she had misjudged him.. she took the flower from his hand. "There now, since we'll be travelling together for a while, I see no reason we can't be friends." Well that made sense, maybe his hand really did just slip... then she felt something on her ass. Then Miroko felt a something upside his head.

Bandages changed, InuYasha collapsed in the bed, Kagome sitting in the chair next to him. Dammit he shouldn't be sleeping so much, he could stay up if he tried. Oh well, tomorrow, he'll start tomorrow.

When he awoke, it was dark. Kagome was asleep, having apparently not moved from the chair. A glance out the window gave him an estimate to the time, some where right before sunrise. He got up silently and found he was only a little weakened. He got dressed and moved the blanket to the side of the bed.

He carefully slid an arm under Kagome's knees and behind her shoulders, hoping not to wake her. As he picked her up, he looked down at her. Jesus, she looked so innocent and peaceful. He layed her down in the bed and pulled the blanket over her. This is where she should be. With her family, sleeping in her own bed, and most importantly, safe. She shouldn't be here, shoudn't be forced to look after him when he was too weak to stand. Shouldn't be fighting. Shouldn't be with him.

He left her and grabbed the pack of smokes from the table as he walked out the door. He turned towards the kitchen/living room. The only other furniture was a couch against the wall.

He walked out side and was on a balcony. They were on the second floor of the complex. It wasn't a bad place. There was a court yard in the middle of it. He lit up and let his mind wander.

Kikyo. What did I do? Are you still angry with me? Of course you are, I killed you.. Kikyo, why? What ever it was, I'm sorry. Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play. Now I need a place to hide away, oh I believe in yesterday.

Kagome woke up a couple hours after sunrise and scolded him for being up. He brushed her off. "So you say this is the town Keade's in?" "Yeah." "Well I gotta talk to her, let's go." "You're sure you can make it?" "Yes, I'm fine. Stop askin'."

30 minutes later, InuYasha and Kagome walked into the town hall where Keade could always be found. "InuYasha, ye are well already? I have some of your possessions that we took from your jacket in back." "Thanks for telling me. Kagome could you go back and get 'em?" "Sure" She said in confusion, maybe he was still a little hazy from the whole ordeal.

"Alright, now that she's gone, I got a problem old woman, see I've been thinkin'.. " "A dangerous habit in your state." "I know but- fuck you old woman! Anyway this is the plan..."

Kagome found InuYasha's things. A lighter and cigarettes, some magazines, a box of .45 ammo and a bunch of scraps of paper with info on Naraku written on them. As she lifted it all, a bunch of paper fell off. As she leaned down to grab, it something caught her eye.

It was a picture. It was InuYasha, the silver hair left no doubts. He looked alot younger, but in reality it could of only been a year or two. He was standing there smiling, with his arm around the shoulder of a black haired girl about his age.

Woah. InuYasha had a girlfirend at one point? Well she should of expected it, it's not like he had always left such a bad impression.. But still...

But still what? Her mind inquired. Well I guess I kinda thought that- Wait a minute! That's the woman! From the video! The one that caused InuYasha to run out on her! What the hell?

Kagome reappeared moments later carrying a bunch of crap he remembered throwing in his jacket at one point or another. Including his lighter and cigarettes. Then whose were those on the table? InuYasha chuckled. So he had finally rubbed off his habit that bad on her..

Kagome, however, seemed not to notice. She was busy looking out the window. She looked kinda down. "Are you okay?" He asked her. "Me? Oh yeah, I'm fine." she said with a smile. Huh, guess it had been my imagination..

"Kagome, did ye show InuYasha your new found ability?" "Huh? OH right! I forgot all about it! Follow me InuYasha!" She said before running off eagerly toward the firing range. What the fuck was she up to? InuYasha wondered.

When they got to the range, Kagome walked up to one of the booths. A mannequin stood at the other end instead of a paper target. "What the hell is all this?" InuYasha asked. Kagome merely smiled and pointed towards the target. "Watch." She drew her Five-seveN and aimed it at the dummy.

What the fuck was she playing at? InuYasha folded his arms across his chest and leaned agaisnt the wall as he waited for her to pull the trigger.

Just like when his brother had done what ever he had done with Tetsiagia, the world grew dark. A small pink light shot out of the barrel and straight into the target, where it stopped. The light shimmered for a second, then the room filled with pink light and InuYasha had to cover his eyes.

When the... light cleared InuYasha looked up at the target. It's was gone from the chest up. What the hell? He stared at it in shock. Kagome looked over, smiling proudly at her self. "What the hell was THAT?" "Ya know how I can sense the jewel, well Kaede found a way to use the same power to do that." Kagome explained proudly. "Oh.. I shoulda known.." InuYasha stated in bewilderment.

Great. Now Kagome was doing freaky shooting tricks too. InuYasha thought as he lit up outside. God damn. I have to find and kill this Naraku guy. I have to protect Kagome. I have to collect the shards. I have to find Kikyo. I have to make everything right with her.

Kikyo.. why she had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't say. I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday. Will she forgive me? Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play, now I need a place to hide away, oh I believe in yesterday..
