"Guys! Wake up!" Once everyone was awake, Kagome began to explain what happened just a few minutes before.
Inuyasha was looking really skittish. Kagome gave him a kiss on the cheek for encouragement. He blushed.
"Inuyasha, are you ok? Calm down a little, he's gone now."Kagome said, worried about the paranoid hanyou.
"Yea, I'm fine. I just don't want you hurt again," he said, referring to the cut in her neck.
"I'm fine, but I'm not so sure about you," Kagome giggled as he calmed down when she rubbed his sensitive doggie ear. "All right..." the hanyou said, uncertain.
Sango interrupted,"I think we should go, then, just to be safe."
"Yes," Miroku agreed,"I agree with Lady Sango, we should leave."
Ignorant that it was the middle of the night, the 6 left their vacation cabin and headed to Mushashi (is that the name of the village, I kinda took a wild guess....) village. Kagome soon fell asleep on Inuyasha's back, and the others, lucky that Kirara was stronger now, all fell asleep on Kirara's back.
When Inuyasha finally saw the village he almost yelled out in joy because he was so tired, but realized Kagome was asleep, and, even though he didn't care weather anyone else woke up, that it was still the middle of the night.
Finally finding the cabin they usually used empty, he carefully laid Kagome down in a bed, lead Kirara in, and fell right asleep next to Kagome.
Darkness was all around. The only thing telling her she was still alive was a warm body laying next to her, sleeping, tired, arms wrapped protectively around her.
She heard nothing except breathing in her ears. She opened her eyes. A....wall? Where was she? Birds. Singing birds. Breathing. Water trickling somewhere outside. Breathing.
She looked sown to see a red kimono wrapped around her. Breathing, but now she noticed, it was tired, worn out breathing. Something told her that the loving hanyou who's arms were wrapped around her was tired. Inuyasha, you shouldn't push yourself so hard. He moved in his sleep, rolling on his back, bringing her with him. Now, warmth on he back, she went back to sleep, not wanting to disturb the tired hanyou who slept beneath her.
She was oblivious to the fact that they were being watched.
Even in your sleep, Inuyasha, you should be aware that there is an unknown presence around you, you lived a life of fear, you should've learned by now.
Gonkuro quietly sat outside the window, waiting for that hanyou to wake up so they could continue their fight.
