Chapter 3
'Now lets see if he takes to heart what I have said about not letting peoples words get to him. I suppose we shall see.' they got into battle stances they were both waiting to see who would make the first move. It was Inuyasha he brought his sword down but Kagome quickly countered by blocking. Kagome stabbed the sword in to the ground then as Inuyasha was coming after her she balanced herself on the handle of the sword and as Inuyasha attacked he didn't relies this till it was to late and had past her. As he had his back turned she kicked him and he had his face planted into the ground. She could have beaten Inuyasha quiet a few times but she just kept fighting. They continued this for what seemed like hours. They had attracted a crowed by now amongst them was Lady Mitsue ,Lady Rin ,Lord Inutaisha, Lord Sesshomaru ,Miroku ,and Sango ,and some other servants. But neither paid any mined to there audience.
that's when Kagome felt a familiar dark aura atop the roof. She looked up and sure enough there sat the man in the baboon pelt.
Inuyasha took this time hit her sword out or her hand. It took Kagome a wile to relies what had happened. "Keh I told you a women couldn't beat me,"
But before she could respond to what he had said she saw a root like thing heading strait for lady Mitsue she broke out of the hold Inuyasha had on her and once again held out her hands and this time a bow and arrow appeared in her hands. She rushed in front of Lady Mitsue and released the arrow but before it could hit its target the root thing pierced her stomach. She didn't get the full blast because the arrow she shot finally hit its mark. 'Damn I should have sensed his aura sooner' by the time that thought went through her mind she was already on her back lying in the snow and a puddle of her own blood. She saw people circled around her she saw there mouths moving but heard nothing and that was the last thing she remembered before blacking out.
Inuyasha was surprised to say at the least when he had beaten Kagome usually there was a distraction like one of the maids telling him his mother wished to see him. Or something like that. But he saw her looking somewhere else and so took it as his chance to throw her sword out of her hands. But he noticed she paid no mind and broke out of the hold he had on her. For the second time that day her hands glowed and at an inscrutable speed she was in front of his mother aiming at something on the roof. that's when he noticed a white thing on the roof of the castle and the root thing that was coming out of it heading strait for her. She released an arrow that was covered in green energy before it made contact with the white thing she was hit with root. Bye the time she had hit the ground she was already in a puddle of her own blood.
Lady Mitsue was the first one to react, "W-we should get her inside to see the doctor." everyone nodded in agreement. Inuyasha was the one to pick her up. He carried her bridle style into the castle. Lord Inutaisha led the way to a guest room. Inuyasha set her down on the bed. By now the bleeding had slowed considerably.
"Everyone get back to work." ordered Inutaisha hesitantly everyone left until only Sesshomaru , Rin, Inutaisha , Mitsue and Inuyasha remained. Soon there was a knock on the door and the doctor came into the room.
Kaede entered the room to which she was summoned to what she saw on the bed horrified her. There was a young girl around the age of sixteen lying unconscious on the bed and already the bed was stained with her blood. It took a minute for her to regain her voice but when she spoke her voice was harsh "What has happened to this child,"
This time Inuyasha spoke, "We were having a sword fight then she got distracted so I won. But then she ran in front of mother and shot an arrow at the roof but then a root thing hit her stomach but she didn't get the full blow because by then the arrow had hit the umm…. Thing." Kaede just nodded her head and waved everyone out of the room. Once again hesitant everyone left leaving Kaede to tend to Kagome. The first thing she did was to make sure that the cut was not infected which it surprisingly wasn't. the she cleaned the wound and wrapped in gauze. Then she changed Kagome's outfit. It was just a nice white night gown. And then she left. There were two people waiting outside Lady Mitsue and Lord Inuyasha.
As if reading there minds she answered their question, "she shall be fine her lose of blood will cause her to be out for a few days but the she shall be fine." and with that said she leafed down the hall to tend to other patients. 'how strange her wound was already starting to heal just like a demon or a half-demons would.'
Inuyasha was the first to enter the room. He saw her sleeping form under the blankets. Mitsue soon followed the first thing she noticed was that some of her blankets were covered in blood. " We should get her more blankets because hers are covered in blood." Inuyasha just nodded his head and leafed to go get more blankets. Mitsue waited till she was sue he was out of site, " I want to thank you for risking your life to save me and I hope you get better soon."
" I-I'm su-sure I'll live." came a raspy voice from the bed, " I-I have h-had worse. In the village w-we are attacked con-constantly by the very same man. "
"You shouldn't be talking you need your rest," was all Mitsue could say. The door opened and in came Inuyasha with the new blankets. He handed them to Mitsue and left. She took the old blankets off and replaced them with the new ones that Inuyasha had brought.
"Th-thank you." Mitsue just nodded her head and left her to sleep in peace. In the room Kagome was already asleep with the new blankets.
