16. Give Your Wounds Time To Heal
Now Inuyasha was back and Kagome was happy. If Kagome was happy so was Koga. In fact, Koga was taken to the doctor to check legs. Since Koga was a demon they should heal in no time. Thankfuly the doctor didn't know he was demon. Inuyasha helped around the house and Koga tried, but would find himself limping about. Mrs. Higurashi let him rest on Kagome's bed to let his legs heal after cleaning up all of the blood. When cleaning was done Kagome and Inuyasha came back into the bedroom where Koga lay staring at the ceiling.
"Yo."Koga raised a hand.
"You feeling better?" Kagome went to Koga's side and brushed some hair away from his eyes, which was hanging loosley and not braided or up in a high pony-tail.
"I'm good." The wolf-demon sat up.
"Well, I better be on my way." Inuyasha said and jumped onto the window.
"Leaving so soon?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah. I don't want to worry anyone. And..." Inuyasha paused. "...I want to say goodbye to Kikyo."
Kagome just nodded.
"Good luck getting home Koga. If I come up with any promises I know you can and will keep I'll be back to kick you out." Inuyasha dissapeared after jumping out the window.
'I wish I could've said goodbye. Goodbye to Ginta and Hakakku.' Koga thougt.
"Koga, do you think that Inuyasha will only say goodbye?" Kagome had a half-smile on staring out the window.
"Huh?" Koga looked over to Kagome. She had tears in her eyes. "Yeah. He'll be back. He can't stand me staing here so he's going to come up with as many promises as possible to boot me out."
Kagome giggled a little.
"But...if does boot me out...I can see them again. I can see Ginta and Hakakku." Koga layed back down.
Kagome held back her tears and went back over to Koga and layed down next to him. "You'll see them again. I know it. I just know it."
After Koga and Kagome just layed there silently for awhile Mrs. Higurashi's voice was heard. "Lunch time!"
"Okay Mom!" Kagome called. She and Koga went down stairs to eat.
What they had for lunch was grilled cheese sandwhiches. Koga enjoyed them. He truly did. He thought about Ginta and Hakakku again and wondered what they were eating. He hoped that they had a successful hunt. He knew that everyone in his tribe counted on him. Koga also hoped that no one tried to take over the tribe and become the new leader while he was gone. That would cause to much conflict.
The next day Koga's legs were a lot stronger than before. He was up and running again. He would even play short soccer games with Souta. He was glad that he gave his wounds time to heal. He had more options after being patient.
That night he wrote another letter saying:
Dear Ginta and Hakakku,
Hope nobody took over the tribe. IF anyone does try, there will be much conflict. I'll try to get back as soon as I possibly can.
Waiting patiently,
Koga
Koga was impressed with himself. Not only was he patient in letting his legs heal, he was patient in letting his writing skills go up, growing more advanced.
After writing I promise on the back of the letter and sending it five hundred years in the past, Koga went up and slept with Kagome.
Koga was being patient.
He was giving his wounds time to heal.
He was giving his mind time to heal.
He knew that he would see Ginta and Hakakku again under one condition...
Giving his wounds time to heal.
