Last time:

Inuyasha has fallen down and has not moved for a bit now.

Continuing:

"Inuyasha!" screamed Kagome as he just laid there without moving a muscle. Kagome jumped out of the spring and ran to his side. She quickly wrapped her towel around herself and then knelt by his side while crying the whole time.

"Inuyasha! What is wrong? Please! Please speak to me! INUYASHA!"

But he didn't do anything. He didn't move a muscle. Then it hit her too. The gas. Inuyasha was affected by it sooner than Kagome because of his sensitive nose.

Coughing and wheezing Kagome quickly took off Inuyasha's clothing (even the loin cloth!), her towel, and tried to drag Inuyasha to the pool/spring. She got him in the water just before she passed out.

The cold water woke up Inuyasha and he saw Kagome passed out on the ground. He was slightly embarrassed to be seeing her there and to have to touch her but he had to since he had to drag her into the water.

At the touch of Inuyasha and the cold water, Kagome woke up. She quickly wrapped her arms around Inuyasha before realizing that they were naked.

As quick as lightening she let go and started to swim away.

"I'm sorry. It's just you needed to get into the water. I'm probably more embarrassed than you though. You had to undress me while I was knocked out cold." Inuyasha said with a nervous grin and a forced chuckle.

"Well, your clothes would have dragged you down and I wouldn't have been able to keep your head above the water. Besides, what is that gas anyway and will it ever go away?" replied Kagome as she slowly swam back to him.

"I don't know to both of those questions so I will go see if it is still there."gulped Inuyasha.

"NO! Don't go!" Kagome yelled as she swam toward him. She didn't care that their bare bodies touched when she hugged him, she just didn't want him to go.

"Don't go. I wouldn't be able to bear it if you were to die. We'll just stay here awhile until…until it goes away. Please."

"All right. I won't go." soothed Inuyasha as he stroked her hair and hugged her back.

For three hours Kagome and Inuyasha swam around the spring while waiting for the gas to leave. Finally Inuyasha got out and went to see if it was gone.

He returned five minutes later all dressed and holding Kagome's clothes. "Sory I took so long. I was getting dressed." He said to a frightened Kagome.

"well, you could have told me you were going to get dressed," she replied while getting out of the water to get her clothes. "and thanks for getting my clothes for me."

"You're welcome." said Inuyasha as he stood there looking at her perfect body.

Quickly Inuyasha walked to Kagome and pulled her close to him. He pushed her away and handed her her clothes before turning around and walking away to give her privacy.

Kagome quickly put on her clothes and started to limp toward Inuyasha. When she reached him she turned him towards her, hugged him close to her bosom, and started to cry.

"Kaogme! Why are you crying?" exclaimed Inuyasha as they sank to their knees. He pulled her close to him and asked again, "why are you crying, Kagome?"

"I-I thought you had died from the gas when you went to go check it out. You didn't come b-back soon enough and I couldn't go get you in fear of the gas. D-during that time I remembered Grandpa! I had forgotten all about him! Please let me go back. Please, please, please let me go…" sobbed Kagome.

"Of course I will let you go! I'm not that mean as to keep you from your grandpa! Besides, we were going there anyway. Let's go. Yes, I am going with you." cooed Inuyasha.

He picked up Kagome and took her to the well. He jumped in and carried her to her house after he got out of the well again.

Kagome jumped out of Inuyasha's arms and yelped in pain because of her injury. But that didn't stop her from running into the house. She reached the house before Inuyasha and he suddenly heard her yell.

OoOoOo
