Ch.8
Kagome Saves InuYasha's Life
and Gets a Pleasant Surprise
-----------------------------
One Day Later…
Kagome and InuYasha exit Himiko's hut, InuYasha still has bandages wrapped around his chest.
"Kagome wait up!", Himiko calls, coming through the door, "Here take these", she hands her a pile of ofudas, "Put them on the trees and rocks surrounding your campsite and they'll protect you two from outside threats".
"Thanks Himiko", Kagome says.
"InuYasha don't forget what I told you", Himiko advises.
"Bark!", (I won't forget!).
"We better get going", Kagome says.
"One more thing Kagome. Here", Himiko holds up a necklace with a magatama tyed at the end.
"What's this for?", she asks, taking it and putting it on.
"You can use that to close the gap in the speech problem the two of you have, with InuYasha trapped as a dog", Himiko replies, "Just don't use it to read his mind when he's sleeping, if you know what I mean".
(That's not funny Himiko), InuYasha growls.
"Oh come on InuYasha, it was a little funny… Wait a minute, I heard what InuYasha was thinking", Kagome says, shocked, "Thank you Himiko!"
"You don't have to thank me, just think of it as the key to understanding every language in the world", Himiko says with a smirk, "Just keep heading west, until you make it to the hall of high elders, and be careful, Godai and his minions are willing to kill InuYasha without a second thought".
"Thanks for the advise", Kagome says, InuYasha nuges her thigh, "What is it InuYasha?"
(Give her the jewel shards we have, she can be trusted with them) , InuYasha replies.
"Are you feeling alright InuYasha, do you know what you're saying?", she asks.
(I feel fine, and I do know what I'm saying, but if it makes you feel better you can keep a few) , he growls.
"Whatever you say InuYasha", she says, handing some of the jewel shards to Himiko, "Keep them safe, please".
"I will. Goodbye", Himiko waves.
--------------------------------------------
One Week Later…
InuYasha and Kagome slowly walks along the bank of a river.
"InuYasha, lets take a break from walking and I'll heat up the potion Himiko made for your pain", Kagome suggests.
(I'm fine, I rather keep walking closer to where we're heading, until my body needs the potion) , he answers.
"Are you sure? It you take it now, you won't have to deal with the pain later", she says.
(I said I'm fi…) , his eyes dart to the nearby bushes.
"What's wrong?", she asks.
(Demons are coming), he states, growling, (Let me do must of the fighting, then afterwards I'll take the potion).
A small demon jumps from the bushes, InuYasha pounces on it and kills it in one bite of his teeth, but the next thing he knows, a clawed hand is holding him off the ground by the scuff of his neck, he looks at the demon and sees that it is the same demon that threw him against a tree a week earlier.
"I remember you, you're that dog who killed our boss and companions", the demon laughs, "You're still injuried from the last time we met".
InuYasha just growls at him, his ears laid back.
"Lets see how well you swim in your condition", the demon throws InuYasha into the river.
InuYasha yelps when he hits the water, then disappears under the surface.
"InuYasha!", Kagome shouts, diving into the water after InuYasha.
InuYasha sinks deeper in the river, little air bubbles rising from his mouth.
(I can't move my body), he thinks, starting to feel light-headed, (I guess this is the end. Goodbye Kagome) , he starts to close his eyes to submit to the darkness, when something caught his eye, the figure of a woman swimming towards him, surrounded by golden light from the setting sun, she grabs his collar and pulls him up to the surface, he passes out before he gets there.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Two Minutes Later…
On the Bank of the River…
"InuYasha!", Kagome cries, putting an ear near his mouth, 'He's not breathing!', she moves her ear onto his chest and hears a slow, but steady heartbeat, "He's still alive! How do I give CPR to a dog?", she asks worriedly, 'But I have to try!'.
Kagome pinches his nose, takes a deep breath, and moves her lips to his, closing her eyes, but before her lips touch his, the sunsets behind the horizon. She breaths into him, pulls back slightly, takes a deep breath, then forces it into InuYasha's lungs, she continues this until she hears him cough and spit up water. She opens her eyes to look at him, but ends up staring at him, wide-eyed and mouth slightly opened.
InuYasha slowly opens his eyes and looks at Kagome, (I'm still alive, Kagome saved my life) , he thought, starting to smile to himself, (But why does she look shocked?), he sits up, "Kagome what's wrong?", he whispers, not realizing that he spoke.
"InuYasha, you're human", she utters.
