Disclaimer: (unenthusiastic) Yay…a disclaimer…don't own Inu-kun…wish I did…but I don't…oh well. That's all.
InuYasha: …what, that's it?
Shel: (sniffs) yeah.
Kagome: She's sick.
InuYasha: Yeah? Well I'm sick of her too. HA!
Shel: (glares) Shut…up…
InuYasha: (shuts up)
Kagome: You really want to type this chapter?
Shel: I must…I have to! I must be loyal…(sneezes) …(sounds bored and tired) to my fans…
InuYasha: That's a little on the pathetic side, eh?
Kagome: A little?
Shel: Yeah yeah. You too…or is two?
Kagome and InuYasha: Two.
Shel: Oh yeah…what was I saying?
InuYasha: She's really sick.
Kagome: Yeah.
Shel: I WISH SOMEONE WOULD JUST BLOW MY HEAD OFF!
InuYasha: Sure!
Kagome: SIT! You just need rest.
La: I'll type this chapter for you! Bye bye!
InuYasha: Isn't she worse than her?
Kagome: Yeah but don't tell her.
La: I said BYE BYE! (And be warned, this is going to be 'fluffy'!)
Shel: Whoa kay then, La...Hehehe…my poor perverted friend…I don't think so! I'll type it………although it will contain fluff.
La: Yay for fluff! Now if you'll excuse me, I must go read a lemon MirxSan. Bye bye! For good this time…lol!
Kagome felt drained of her miko powers for some reason. She was covered in dirt and blood. Why was she anyway? What had happened? All she knew was that she had to find someone to help her and the poor young girl she was carrying along the path with her. And that she wasn't a cat.
"Gotta…find…Inu…Yasha…"
Even though she was terribly pissed at him, he would help her no matter what. She stopped when she knew she couldn't go any farther and crumpled to her knees and fell to her side, Yumi next to her under her arm.

Kagome awoke in a place very dark. She jolted up from her sleep but a pain in her stomach kept her from moving. My head…it feels like… She couldn't continue even if it was a thought. A hand on her shoulder gently pushed her back down and her head met the pillow. "Don't move. Just rest."
Kagome couldn't make out who the voice belonged too but it sounded scared. And was it raining outside? Yes, that much she could compute. But where was the girl? She felt like she was going to be sick. Why was everything so fuzzy? Why couldn't she move? Why were there bandages wrapped around her stomach up past her chest and bandages around her right arm? A million questions plus those ran through her head. "I need to find…I need to help…" Find who or what? Help? What was she talking about? She didn't know even though she was the one who said it. There was the voice again but this time it sounded tired and far away and it only shushed her and said nothing more. Why couldn't she recognize it? "InuYasha…need to find him…" Why did she say that? Wait, she did need to find him. And that girl, she needed help. "InuYasha…"
There was a low whisper that she could barely make out and it still sounded so far away. "I'm right here, Kagome. Now just rest." InuYasha said his voice barely a whisper. He gently stroked her shoulder hoping she would go back to sleep. She was a wreck when they found her.
FlashBack"Over here, I found her!" Sango called to her other friends. A very beaten up Kagome lie on the ground with one arm clasped tightly around Yumi who was also covered in dirt, an arrow wound in her side.
Miroku and Shippo came to find Sango and InuYasha already by the fallen girl. Sango took Yumi away from Kagome and cradling her, stood up next to Miroku. "We need to help her. She has an arrow wound in her waist." Miroku and Sango headed back to the hut leaving Shippo and InuYasha behind with an unconscious Kagome.
Shippo looked up tearfully at InuYasha. "Is she dead?"
InuYasha glared at him. "Shut up Shippo. You're not helping anything or anyone."
Shippo made a crying noise. "You shut up InuYasha! If you hadn't gone to see Kikyou, Kagome—!"
"Hey." InuYasha interrupted with a low growl.
Shippo stopped talking long enough to see the fear in his eyes. "InuYasha?"
"Listen to me Shippo. If you mention anything that happened today, you won't live to see the next day, got it?"
Shippo shook his head, thinking that didn't make sense but it was a very serious threat. "Uh…sure."
"Good." InuYasha took his attention away from the kitsune and picked up Kagome careful of her injuries. "C'mon. I ain't waitin' around for you."
Shippo obediently got up and followed him. Something else was bothering him other than what had happened today.
InuYasha knew that if Kagome were human, Yumi wouldn't wake up from anything…
End of FlashBackKagome…I'm so sorry I had to do that.
Kagome sat up and laid her head against InuYasha's chest. She just wanted to be close to him. She felt him put his arm around her bare shoulders, warming her up a bit. "InuYasha…"
"What did I tell you, Kagome? You need to stop talking and go to sleep." InuYasha said firmly but softly to get his point across but try not to sound like he was mad at her. Kagome didn't reply with movement or a sound. "Kagome?"
Her breathing was slow and steady indicating she was asleep. That was the best thing for her. As much as he wanted to talk to her, to tell her what had caused Yumi's action, he wanted her to have his attention when he told her. "I'm sorry."
Kagome shrugged and snuggled in closer. "Thanks. I love you."
InuYasha was so wrapped up in his own thoughts he wasn't paying attention. "What?"
Kagome shrugged again but didn't repeat herself. InuYasha sighed. "You're an idiot."
"Hm. So are you." Kagome replied softly. "But it's okay. Can't stay mad at you forever, right?"
InuYasha didn't answer her and she drifted back asleep. Yeah, you can Kagome. And it's gonna kill me. But…I deserve it. You will never forgive me. No matter what, no matter how much I say I'm sorry; you'll really hate me. "Kagome…?"
Kagome replied with a soft "Hm?"
"I need to tell you something…important." Then InuYasha reminded himself that he already told her a million times to go to sleep and here he was rambling on about something.
Kagome snuggled in closer until she could hear his heart beating. "What is it? And can it wait?"
"Y-yeah, I guess." InuYasha stammered, resting his cheek on the top of her head. For about eight hours, since six o'clock at night yesterday, he hadn't slept, just to make sure she was still breathing. And he was incredibly exhausted. Before he even allowed himself to think about sleep, he glanced at Yumi, her still form next to Sango in the opposite corner.
"InuYasha…is she okay?" Kagome had suddenly asked.
"Um…yeah, I hope she's okay." InuYasha said looking away from the young girl. Kagome sighed exasperated. "Good. I knew I could always trust you."
"Yeah…always. Like I, uh, can always trust you." His voice cracked as he said this. He could trust Kagome, but she couldn't trust him. It hurt him to know that inside she was probably hurting too. "Y-you okay?"
"I'm fine. I'm with you, right?" Kagome replied smiling to herself.
"Yes. Always." InuYasha replied feeling angry towards someone. "And if anyone tries to hurt you again, I'll kill 'em. And I mean anyone. Got it?"
Kagome didn't answer. After drifting in and out of sleep, she was in for the rest of the night. InuYasha finally closed his eyes and allowed Kagome's scent and warmth put him to sleep.
Kur0: Yeah, I know a pointless 3 page chapter but who cares. Next chapter I promise will be much more interesting. (Sneezes) hey has anyone realized that we have a new pope who is 78 yrs old? Hehe…for some of us, we'll get to see a second pope death. Sorry, I'm not judging and I don't mean anything to other religious people but I'm not exactly the most religious person… (Sneezes)…what was I saying?
La: Shel, Sleep.
