Chapter 4

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, Inuyasha isn't mine : (

Kagome just stood there, too shocked to move out of the way. She just watched and waited as the arrow came flying at her. This is gunna hurt…

But the arrow never reached her. Kagome felt strong arms wrap around her and push her out of the way.

She opened her eyes and saw Inuyasha lying next to her on the sidewalk. Kikyou's arrow had pierced through his arm and blood was gushing out of his wound.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried, crawling over to him. Her body ached from the fall but she was lucky that she was alive.

This is all my fault…I should've moved or something, I'm such an idiot.

Now Kagome was kneeling right above him. Tears were falling freely from her eyes.

Inuyasha's wound looked very bad. He could die from the massive amount of blood coming out of it. He looked up at her with those eyes that melted her heart.

"Inuyasha why'd you do that, y-you didn't have to do that! This is all my fault!" Kagome sobbed.

Inuyasha shook his head, "I'm sorry Kagome" he said.

For what? Kagome thought Aren't I the one who should be sorry for being such an idiot?

"Somebody help me!" Kagome cried. But she was yelling at nothing. Nobody came.

She took her cell phone out and called an ambulance. Her hands were shaking uncontrollably. She then called Sango.

"Hello?" Sango asked when she picked up the phone. Kagome took a second to catch a breath but it didn't seem to work.

"It's K-Kagome" she sobbed, "In-Inuyasha...Kikyou…she tried…he's hurt" Kagome sobbed.

"Where are you Kagome?" Sango demanded and Kagome flinched a little.

"His a-apartment" she sniffled. Sango told her she'd be right there.

A minute later the ambulance arrive and Sango just minutes behind them. Miroku was with her and they ran toward the distressed girl.

They couldn't get anything out of her but more crying. Inuyasha hauled into the truck and Kagome climbed in with him.

"I wonder what happened…" Sango though aloud. Miroku shrugged and they drove off toward the hospital.

……………………………………………………………….

Kagome couldn't stand answering so many questions that the cops were shooting at her. After a while they had given up and she sat beside Inuyasha.

He looked so calm and serene laying there on the hospital bed. His face didn't have its usual angry expression. Wake up Inuyasha, I don't think I can take it any longer

Kagome never left his side.

………………………………………………..

Inuyasha awoke sometime in the middle of the night. His first thought was 'Where the hell am I?'

He was about to jump out of bed when he saw a small figure move slightly from the corner of his eye. He turned and saw Kagome sleeping soundlessly. She was sitting very close to him with her head on the bed.

"Kagome…" Inuyasha whispered. She looked exhausted.

Suddenly his memory came back.

(Flashback)

…Inuyasha felt something was wrong the second Kagome ran to get her bag. He just had a feeling she was not safe so of course he went after her.

Bouncing down the stairs he looked out the window half way there and saw Kikyou with an arrow.

She was saying something that he couldn't make out but he didn't really care. He knew what she was planning to do.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled, and he ran the fastest he had ever run before. He promised he would protect her and he would so just that.

Thankfully when he reached her the arrow had not hit her yet but it was close to. Inuyasha instinctively jumped in front of her and pushed her out of the way.

He felt a searing pain in his left arm and Inuyasha suddenly found himself on the ground. The arrow had hit him instead.

He didn't care about that either though, he wanted to kill Kikyou. All he cared about was that Kagome was safe.

He didn't even try to hide his feelings for her. 'I guess I do like her' Inuyasha said to himself.

It was too bad it took him a deadly arrow to realize that…

Inuyasha smiled and lay back down. He would talk to Kagome tomorrow and maybe even tell her. If he had the guts…

……………………………………………………………………

Kikyou stopped running and sat down on her porch steps, panting. The memory of that night was still fresh in her mind. I mean she almost killed Inuyasha!

(Flashback)

…Kikyou just stood there and watched the young girl cry over the person she seemed to love. She almost felt guilty. It wasn't supposed to hit Inuyasha. This wasn't part of her plan.

But Inuyasha had jumped in front of her and pushed her out of the way. He cared about her too. Kikyou hated Inuyasha for this.

He ruined everything; I mean would he have jumped for her. Kikyou didn't even know. But she knew she had to run before anyone else came

. So she took her bow, gave one last look at the two, and ran the opposite direction…

"Why is she the one that's loved? I'm so much better than her!" Kikyou asked herself, "I swear I'll kill Kagome, even if I don't get Inuyasha. That bitch is going down"

Kikyou thought for a moment but she didn't know what to do. Should she go back to school? Inuyasha would probably want to kill her after what she tried to go to Kagome.

"I'm guessing you're in a bit of a situation" a voice came from beside her. Kikyou jumped, "Who the hell are you?"

"Naraku and I think I can help you with that girl you seem to be having trouble with. I have some things to sort out with Inuyasha…" he laughed.

…………………………………………………………

When Kagome woke up, she found Inuyasha standing in his normal clothes, checking out his wounded arm.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried. She jumped into him and gave him the biggest hug.

She looked up at him, her eyes watering. C'mon Kagome, don't cry again…

"What's you problem" Kagome suddenly grew angry and she pushed him away as she said this, "You could've been killed! I mean jumping in front of me like that, and you-you got me worried. How do you think I could live thinking that you died because of me!" she yelled.

"Well you would've died too. I was just…I don't know…" Inuyasha said.

Kagome didn't say anymore. She just looked down, silent tears sliding down her flushed cheeks.

Inuyasha walked up to her and lifted her chin up.

"Hey, I'm alive so whatever. I mean you leave for one second and…" Inuyasha started, but Kagome gave him one of those evil looks of hers and he stopped.

"Umm…hey Kagome there Sango and Miroku!" he said, glad they came in just in time.

Kagome filled them in on what happened, and they just talked, trying to forget about it. Whenever Sango or Miroku tried to bring it up again, either Inuyasha or Kagome would quickly change the subject.

'They really love each other…' Sango thought.

…………………………………………………………………

Now it was just Inuyasha and Kagome left. She didn't want to go to the apartment by herself so she decided to stay overnight.

"Thank you Inuyasha…for saving me…again" Kagome said, softly.

Inuyasha just smiled at her, "No big" he said. Their faces were so close together their noses almost touched.

Then without even realizing it, Kagome pressed her lips onto his. It was even better than she imagined! OMG what am I doing! Inuyasha's probably thinking I'm a loser right now'

Kagome quickly pulled away, trying not to look at him. "Sorry I…" Kagome mumbled and ran out of the room.
