14. Carry Me Home
"Ouch!" Koga flinched at the pain in his legs.
"I'm sorry Koga. Did I hurt you?" Kagome pulled her hands away from Koga's legs, which she was bandaging because of how badly Buyo scratched them.
"No Kagome. I'm fine." Koga said.
"We have to make Buyo stop scratching you." Kagome continued bandaging Koga's legs very carefully and softly.
"Thank you Kagome." Koga closed his eyes to rest his head.
Koga layed on Kagome's bed motionless later that day. His eyes were closed and he had a sad expression on his face. Kagome turned in her chair from her desk to look at him. She knew that he was thinking about Ginta and Hakakku. She turned back around slowly and continued writing about Koga.
Koga fell into a deep sleep after about two or three minutes passed. He tossed and turned harshly. Kagome stood up from her chair and sat next to him. She tried holding him down in one place but he would thrash about to much. He wanted to go home. He missed Ginta and Hakakku.
"He's homesick." Kagome whispered to herself. She layed down next to Koga when he finally stopped moving around a lot. "I'll help you get home. I prmise."
Every human being had at least made one promise in there lives. Some they could and couldn't keep. That's how life was sometimes.
Koga opened his eyes. Kagome was sleeping next to him. It was night time now. Koga crawled around Kagome and stood on his feet. He fell to the ground because his legs were so soar. He leaned against the bed and stood up slowly, making sure he didn't Kagome. She just let out a small and peaceful moan. He examined his legs. They looked alright. Koga walked over to the window. Darkness. Everything was dark. He noticed that Kagome's desk light was still on, so he went to turn it off. Before his hand reached the switch to the light he saw a picture on the table. It was a drawing Kagome did. It was of Koga himself, Ginta, and Hakakku. A tear streamed down Koga's cheek. He didn't bother to wipe it away. He just limped over to Kagome's bed and layed next to the sleeping woman. Before Koga closed his eyes, he broke into tears. He wanted to be with Ginta and Hakakku now. Heshiveredso badly that his legs began to bleed again. He wanted to go home. Home to his brothers.
Carry me home. I want to go home. I want to be with Ginta and Hakakku. Please, carry me home.
