A/N: OMG! I am sooo sorry! I haven't written in about three months! see…I was so busy with ISPs (BIG PROJECTS) and exams and all this work I just didn't have time. Now when everything was finished I forgot my story line so it took me forever to remember and make a chapter. So here it is!! (Hope you like it)
Chapter 15
Inuyasha carried her back to the village in the wet velvety darkness of the night. Just as he entered the village, the rain let up. He put his hand to Kyaru's forehead and quickly pulled it away. She had a burning fever so he ran to Kaede's hut. He pushed the "blinds" that covered the door and barged right in.
"Kaede you old hag get up!" He yelled at her. Kaede slowly got up and rubbed her eyes, "What is the matter Inuyasha?" She then noticed him carrying Kyaru in his arms and drew back.
"What happened to the poor lass?" The old lady inquired.
"She was hit by several lightning bolts and now she has a fever! She could have died, but she didn't…and now she might! Can't you help her?"
Kaede took the girl from his arms and told him it would be best if he left for the moment because she had to change the girl out of her clothes, "while I am doing such inuyasha, I would like ye to get a few herbs for me…" She gave him a list and he went off to pick them up from the gardens.

When Inuyasha came back Kyaru was changed into priestess clothing. 'What in the name of…She looks like Kagome! But…but…that's not possible.' Inuysha shook his head and opened his eyes. The sight that lay before him on the floor was still the same.
"Inuyasha?"
"huh?"
"The herbs if ye please? It is important that I make a tea for Kyaru right away."
"Oh…yeah…." He handed her the leaves and let the old woman work her magic. He sat in a corner and eventually fell into a deep sleep.
"Oooohhhh…" He lay on something soft..what is this? He looks around and sees kagome. She is exposed to him and he covers his eyes. "What's going on?!" He yells and jumps off the soft object. He sees himself bare aswell, "AAh!!!!!" He turns around quickly, but all of a sudden sees her in front of him with an arrow pointed at his heart. He looks behind him and sees the God-tree. "Kikyo? No!"
"I'm not Kikyo." She lets the arrow fly and they pierce him in the chest. Inuyasha screams as he is pinned to the tree, "but why…Kikyo…"
"Do you not recognize me?" Before Inuyasha fell in to a deep slumber he looked up and noticed a purple sheen to the hair of the girl.
"Kyaru…"
GASP Inuyasha jumped from his spot as he woke up. He looked through the door cover and saw that it was morning. He looked over to Kyaru and saw that she was sleeping, strange that he did not see Kaede in the hut, as he would have expected her to be taking care of the young girl. 'What was THAT dream all about?' He quickly shook it off and got out of the hut. He walked around and saw Kaede at the herb garden. He wondered if Kagome was coming back so he decided to take a stroll over to the well.

"Kagome!" Shippo the little fox demon ran towards her and jumped to give her a big hug.
"Hey Shippo! Hey Miroku! Hi Sango!" Kagome had come back with Inuyasha from the well. She found him waiting for her, very grouchy (as usual). "So what's up?"
"Kyaru's hurt." Inuyasha said solemnly. Everyone turned to look at him wide eyed.
"Are you serious?!" Sango raised her voice.
"Of course I'm serious! Why would I lie?" Inuyasha then proceeded to tell everyone the story of what happened. They all looked at him with gloomy eyes. She was hit with lightning bolts and even had some sort of illusion.
"She…she called you daddy?" Kagome turned to the half-demon turning a bit pink. There was only silence from Inuyasha, he just walked off towards the hut.
"Well…shall we go see the injured maiden?" Miroku tried to break the silence and ran after Inuyasha yelling for him to wait up.
- - -
"Kaede! Is she better yet?!" Inuyasha barged in the hut yet again demanding answers from the old priestess.
"Nay Inuyasha. Ye must wait a long while. She is very weak and is very fragile. I am afraid ye all must go look for the shards without the young girl. It might be days before she is strong enough to even stand up."
"Fine! We'll go look for shards!" Inuyasha started to walk off, but Kagome caught him by the wrist, "You can't just leave her here alone! You were the last person she saw! What if she has amnesia and doesn't remember any of us, except for you daddy?"
"Am knee sha?? What the hell is that?" Kagomne shook her head and said, "Forget it. Let's go."
They all left and Kaede prepared a tea for Kyaru. She slowly gave the girl the tea in little amounts to make sure she wouldn't choke. 'sigh…it's going to be a long time before she is well enough to go on…'

Several weeks passed and Kyaru was finally able to walk little distances. She mostly just thought about going home and her father when she was alone in the hut during the day. One night she realized it had been a LONG TIME since she last took a shower. She struggled to get up and took some clothes, dry cloth, and bow and arrows for protection (just in case) with her. She walked to a nearby river that ran along the forest and decided to bath there.
'Oooh…this feels nice.' She thought as she sat at the edge. She started to clean herself when the clouds moved out of the way of the moon, 'Oh how pretty!' she thought as she continued to clean her hair.
Unbeknownst to her she was being watched. A shadowy figure stood in one of the tall trees and looked down upon her.
"…Interesting…I wonder what Inuyasha will think of this…"
A/N: OKAY! That's my chapter! I'm sorry. SHORT I know, but my parents are rushing me somewhere and I just had to finish the last part quickly! Lol. NEwayz, hope you all review and tell me what you think! .
