Chapter 13
Kagome arroused a bit, her eyes opened slowly as she looked around-a little disoriented. She didn't moved as she tried to take in the looks of the dark hut. She became aware of Inuyasha's sleeping presence in the corner quickly enough, relieving her fears but bringing about horrible guilt. His face was peaceful, yet restless and sad in someways. She felt a sudden peircing pain in her side, looking down, she discovered her clothes were caked with blood, and fresh wounds slashed her side and shoulder, just as Naraku's inflictions had. She pushed herself up-her face contorting in pain, she winced, trying to kepp quiet so she wouldn't wake Inuyasha.
She finally got out of the hut after raising to her feet, she quietly began to slip from the village-her wounds slowing her down. She hadn't bothered to dress them in anyway, she only wanted to escape for awhile to think. "I caused him so much pain...He died...but...I caused that too..." She made her way into the deep shadows, following a rough path to the place she last remembered having some peace. She came upon the gravesite, fireflies dancing around gave a illuminating glow to the dark clearing, as well as a pale crescent moon that hung above. She smiled weakly, clutching her wound with her hand and steadying herself on the stone until she sunk down into a sitting position against the Goshimboku tree. "The moon is much larger...I must have been out for a good week..."
She looked at her hands solemnly, blood tinted her skin crimson. "I see it all too clearly now..." She bit her lip slightly, her gaze faultered to the stars, where she continued an aimless stare, only clouded by soft tears.

Give me a reason to believe that you're gone
I see your shadow so I know they're all wrong
Moonlight on the soft brown earth
It leads me to where you lay
They took you away from me but now I'm taking you home
I will stay forever here with you, my love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on
Some say I'm crazy for my love, oh my love
But no bonds can hold me from your side, oh my love
They don't know you can't leave me
They don't hear you singing to me
I will stay forever here with you, my love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on
And I can't love you, anymore than I do

Inuyasha's ears twitched, bringing him around to awakening alone. "Kagome..." He searched the hut floor a moment half-asleep, before he realized she wasn't there. "Kagome?" A familiar and disturbing scent caught his nose as he jumped to his feet. "Blood..." He rushed out the door, his youkai speed carrying him quickly as he followed her scent, praying the whole time nothing had happened to her.
He finally reached a clearing, his eyes falling upon her in a mix of emotion. He was glad to see she was awake, angry at her for leaving, and confused to find her here all at the same time. But every emotion was over ridden with concern as he knelt closer to her resting form, examining the fresh injuries she had sustained. He wasn't sure she was awake, until her lips pulled into an apologetic smile, and her brown eyes slowly opened to meet his embers. Her smile faded into a sad expression. "Inuyasha...what happened...to us?" Inuyasha gathered a small smile to cheer her up. "I died of course...then I came back...I'm not sure what happened to you..." Kagome chuckled lightly. "Hai...I wasn't allowed to die, that's what happened-I was held back by so many things...I went wrecklessly after any demon that crossed my path, hoping I could die..." She remembered many battles as Inuyasha looked deeply into her eyes. "I fought with everything I had-but part of me was already gone..." Kagome looked at Inuyasha, entrusting he knew what she meant.
"And now?" Inuyasha questioned her as he lifted her body into his arms. "Now I think...I'm safe again..." She buried her face into his Kimono, beginning to give into exhausted sleep. "Hai Kagome, you are safe again..." He began slowly back through the forest, her scent filling his nose with sweet smells of clear blue waters and fresh roses. Kagome slept easily in his arms, her human nose surrounded by his powerful scent of earth and fire. The same scent she could never forget.
They returned to Kagome's hut, where Inuyasha layed Kagome in her bed, then began to dress her wounds carefully. He was tender with her, making sure he didn't wake or hurt her. He smiled inside himself, he had gained at least a part of the old Kagome back and she was regaining herself more everyday. Kagome felt Inuyasha tending her wounds, it made her comfortable and relaxed. 'Why do I feel like this...I remember this feeling-I missed it so much...I convinced myself I didn't need him but...'
She watched him as he turned around, he finished tending her wounds, covered her with a blanket, and he was on his way to his tree. "Inuyasha..." He paused a moment and looked back to her. "Hmmm?" She smiled, the same trademark smile he remembered from so long ago, and now it felt so misplaced on Kagome's lips it was strange and yet natural to her. "Thanks..." Inuyasha smiled, his ears twitching slightly as he left. He gathered up into a tree branch overlooking Kagome's window. He stared at her for most of the night before falling asleep.
