Chapter 7: Akahito and the pain

Kagome finished digging the last whole they would need and wiped her forehead from the sweat. She lightly sighed, which was meant for no one to hear. Inuyasha turned towards her and then back at his work. He finished posting the wooden log and then stopped.

"We have to go and see Totosai." Inuyasha said. Everyone stopped their working and looked over at him.

"Now?" asked Sango.

"We're are already late. We can't waist time." Inuyasha stated sternly.

"Okay, than goodbye you guys."

"Yeah, see you later." Shippo said. He was followed by a meow from Kirara. Miroku was the next to speak.

"Come back soon." Miroku said as they all continued their work. Inuyasha dropped everything and quickly swept Kagome over her feet and ran/jumped towards Kaede's. They made it there and he put her down.

"That was a little uncalled for." She said with a smile. "Inuyasha I need to clean up first."

"Clean up later. We leave now." Inuyasha said. "Get your things or we're going without them." Kagome gave him a glare.

"Why are you in such a rush?" She questioned.

"I don't feel like having to deal with some demon I don't know anything about." Inuyasha huffed.

"Whatever, Inuyasha." Kagome walked into the hut and grabbed her bag full of supplies. She came out a moment later to see Inuyasha still standing where she left him. "I'm ready. We can go, but I'm taking a bath when we get back." Inuyasha didn't say anything in reply, he just knelt down and waited for her to get onto his back. She did and they were off. "A day huh? How about we just set up camp near a hot spring and I'll get a bath than?" Kagome asked.

"Feh, we'll see."

"Do you think we'll make it there before nightfall?"

"Yeah, I do."

"It there a hot spring around there?"

"No but you can work your ass off and get one ready for yourself."

"I just.. might do... that..." Kagome fell asleep with that. He head was nuzzled into Inuyasha's hair. As soon as Kagome's breathing went even Inuyasha knew she was sleeping. He grinned inwardly. 'I wonder how I should wake her up, should I toss her into a hot spring?' Inuyasha thought evilly and then he thought whether or not it was worth the sits. 'Nope definitely not.' Only then did Inuyasha smell an unfamiliar scent on their trail. He stopped with a jolt, making Kagome almost fall from his back. She awoke from the sudden stop. "What's the matter, Inuyasha?" She asked.

"Someone's following us." Inuyasha let Kagome get off his back and he pulled his sword from his sheath. Kagome grabbed her bow and arrows, which was tied to her backpack. "We know you're following us! Who are you!"

"You are clever, boy." A demon stepped out of the trees. He looked to be human. He was wearing tan clothing, that looked like Naraku's. His hair was a red, like Shippo's and it was held up in a high pony tale like Shippo's. His eyes were a fiery red, with a black slit in the middle. He was wearing red elfin shoes like Sesshomaru's.

"Who the hell are you!" Inuyasha asked.

"My name is Akahito. I will not harm you or your woman if you hand over the sacred jewel."

"I'd like to see you try." Inuyasha got into fighting position. 'So this is the demon Kikyo warned us about? This should be easy.'

"I don't prefer fighting like this." Akahito stated. In the flash of in eye he was next to Inuyasha holding Kagome. Inuyasha turned abruptly to face the demon. Akahito moved back to his original spot with a struggling Kagome. "She should be easy to kill. I shall enjoy this. My she is surely a beauty, maybe I should have some fun with her first." Kagome struggled to get free, her bow and arrows dropped.

"Get the hell off of her!" Inuyasha jumped forward towards the demon, but stopped in front of him, because he had Kagome.

"I see you care for her. It is my job as a hate demon to kill this woman than. She is the barrier in your heart that keeps you from hating the world. Once she is gone you will be filled with hate." Akahito stated.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed as a tear fell from her eyes. Akahito was squeezing her to the point she could hardly breath and his claws were digging into her sides. Akahito's grip only tightened when Kagome called out Inuyasha's name. You could here the sickening sound of bones cracking. Inuyasha glanced flashed of desperation as he realized as long as this demon was holding Kagome he could do nothing. He growled in complete frustration. Kagome was the last person who disserved this. In a flash Inuyasha appeared behind Akahito and slashed him in his back, causing Kagome to drop to the ground with a thud. She whimpered and was in complete pain. He had broken her lower ribs and almost succeeded in breaking her hip bone too. She couldn't move for all she concentrate on was the pain and how that demon could have possibly had enough strength to break her bones the way he did. She felt herself falling into unconsciousness.

Inuyasha went to her side looking in horror at her. Her stomach was bleeding from Akahito digging his claws into her and he already knew she had had broken bones from when he heard the cracking. He glared up at Akahito who only grinned.

"Soon she will die. Now hand over the sacred jewel and I will not harm her farther. Inuyasha's growl escalated. He was standing in front of the demon in a blink of in eye. He stabbed his sword into Akahito's gut causing the demon to jump back.

"You'll pay for hurting her." Inuyasha bit out jumping forward once more toward the demon, which dodged his attack.

"You underestimate me, half breed. I will get what I have come here for eventually. For now I will take my leave." Akahito wouldn't admit it, but he had actually been in pain from the gash with Tetsusaiga. He wasn't that great of a demon, but he had speed and strength, but not much. The demon disappeared into thin air.

"Damn it! He escaped." Inuyasha turned around to the unconscious Kagome and began to shake her. "Kagome! Kagome!" He called trying to wake her up. He was lucky they weren't that far from Kaede's yet. He didn't know what he was supposed to do though. He didn't know whether or not picking her up would cause her wounds to worsen, or whether it would make a difference of not. He picked her up when he decided he couldn't just do nothing and ran off to Kaede's. He rushed in and looked at Kaede. "You need to help her." He said in a panic. Kaede looked up and quickly went to his side as Inuyasha placed Kagome down on the mat.

After a few moments or examining her Kaede came to a conclusion.

"Inuyasha take her to her time. They have better medicines there. These wounds are great she will need immediate help." Kaede stated. Inuyasha nodded and ran for the well. eh jumped in and on the other side he realized he didn't know where they could help Kagome. He jumped through Kagome's window grabbed a hat from her dresser, knowing wherever he would go with her would be in public. He ran out the door noticing Kagome's aunt and uncle weren't there and jumped out to where he had smelt a strong stench of medicines. The place wasn't far, but it was huge and white with a big red emergency side on one opening. Inuyasha ran through that one and carried Kagome to the desk. The woman gasped.

"She needs help." Inuyasha pleaded. The woman nodded and immediately called for a doctor.

"One moment sir our doctors are on the way." The lady said. Inuyasha nodded and saw a bunch of oddly dressed people come from a large hallway with a rolling bed. They stopped in front of Inuyasha and helped him put Kagome on it.

"Come with us, we have some questions." Said a man as he helped push the bed with Kagome. Inuyasha did as told and followed them to the room they took Kagome to. They didn't let him enter no matter how much he struggled. The man stopped Inuyasha in front of the door as the others went in to help Kagome. "Now tell me what has happened?"

"She's hurt, alright? Now let me see her!" Inuyasha growled.

"She will need immediate care, you can't be in there with her. When she is finished only family will be aloud in there. What is her name and age?"

"Kagome Higurashi. She's seventeen." Inuyasha stated.

"What relation do you have to her?" questioned the man.

Flashback

"She will need immediate care, you can't be in there with her. When she is finished only family will be aloud in there. What is her name and age?"

End Flashback

"I'm her... husband." Inuyasha said quickly. The doctor looked oddly at Inuyasha for a moment, because of the fact Kagome was only seventeen.

"I see. What is you name and age?"

"Inuyasha, sixty... I mean nineteen." Inuyasha caught himself adding the fifty years he was sealed to a tree.

"Now can you tell me what happened?"

"Her bones are broken..."

"The doctors in there will determine that. What happened?" Inuyasha didn't know what to say. He knew he couldn't tell them the truth, that a demon after the sacred jewel squished her bones with his bare hands, yet he didn't know what else to say.

"Um..." Inuyasha stuttered. Kagome would kill him if he told them the truth, especially after she went through so much to keep them from knowing. "I don't know." Inuyasha finally said. "When I found her she was like that."

"INUYASHA!" A scream came from the room. Inuyasha looked at the door knowing it was Kagome's scream. He punched the door down, surprising everyone. Kagome had tears streaming down her face and the scream had just caused her to be in twice as much pain. "I want to see Inuyasha." She whispered barely able to speak anymore. The doctors looked back and forth at Inuyasha and Kagome and then at each other. They nodded coming to a closing point.

"You have five minutes, but then we must get you an x-ray." said one of the doctors as they left and walked away. There was no longer a door to shut.

Inuyasha ran to Kagome's side and looked at her as emotion filled his eyes. She looked so helpless so hurt. She would have rather seen him than care for herself.

"Kagome.." Inuyasha said slowly. Kagome grabbed his hand and squeezed it. She cried.

"I'm sorry for being such a baby all the time Inuyasha. I'm sorry for all the sits. I'm so, so sorry for all the times I argued with you... just please don't leave me alone. I don't want to be alone." Tears were unstoppably coming from her eyes. "I'm scared to be alone, Inuyasha." Inuyasha didn't know what to day, so he didn't. He brought his face to hers and nuzzled her cheek with his. He could feel the wet tears rub off onto his skin. He brought his lips near her ear to speak.

"When did I say I'd leave?" He whispered. If Kagome could she would have giggled at the statement, she would have giggled because it made her happy to hear him say that. "I'll never leave your side Kagome."

"Alright you two. We should get to the x-ray now. Your ribs look in pretty bad shape Mrs. Higurashi." The doctor said as they entered. Kagome looked at Inuyasha curiously, because they called her Mrs.

"They said only family could come in." he whispered. This time Kagome actually tried to laugh, but the unbearable pain came back even stronger. She winced. She was angry on the inside that that demon had caused her so much pain so easily and she was so helpless.

I'm stopping it there. Review please.
