Disclaimer: Yesh, I didn't like the fact that I hurt Sango, Miroku, Shippou or Kirara but I had to. The spiciness of the story depended on it! Anyways read to find out what happens. I have my poptart, and my milk and im READY!
Kirara landed next to the hut the old miko lived in. Kagome leaped off the cat youkai and raced into the hut. Inuyasha slowly and carefully laid his friend off his back. Miroku's facial features tightened in pain. Sorry. Inuyasha said in his mind. Miroku's eye lids twitched ever so lightly. Inuyasha got up and walked over to Kirara. He put his arm around Sango's shoulder and the other around her waist. He gently pulled her off and sat her down on the ground.
A few seconds later Kagome and Kaede ran back out. "Oh dear child! What happened?" the old miko asked. Kagome looked down, sadness covering her face.
"Stop chatting and help them you old hag!" Inuyasha said impatiently. He knew Kagome would feel even worse to have to explain it to Kaede so he cut in. Kagome looked up, watching Inuyasha's golden eyes follow what Kaede was doing. Kagome gasped lowly when those eyes met hers. She smiled a thank you. He didn't smile back, but his eyes said everything.
"Alright. Miroku is finished." Kagome walked over to Kaede, handing her the little kitsune. Inuyasha shifted his body some. Kagome could tell he was thinking of what he could do.
"I'll be back." He said and stood up. In a second he jumped up. Kagome watched as he landed on a branch and again disappeared into the think forest. She turned her gaze to Sango, who was now being stitched up in three places and bandaged in four. Kagome's face turned tense and her nose shriveled up in anger. No matter what, she would get revenge for what could have been taken from her. The only friends she had in this world could have died. If only Inuyasha had stayed he could've helped them. But would he be strong enough to defeat Ekiru all by himself?
"All finished child. They will be alright." Kaede looked up at Kagome. She had dark circles under her eyes and her eye lids drooped slightly. "Ye need sleep child, ye don't look to good." Kagome nodded.
"Will they be alright?" Kagome said. Her look shot into Kaede like needles. The old miko knew Kagome was stressed, and held a large burden on her shoulders.
"Aye child. They will be just fine. Ye need some rest." She replied. Kagome nodded again and stood up. She took one last look at her friends before disappearing into the hut.
A few minutes later Inuyasha returned with fruits piled up in his arms. "I got fruit for them to eat." Inuyasha said, having trouble looking over the fruit pile to make sure he's not about to trip over something. He laid the fruit next to Kaede and looked around. "Where's Kagome?" he asked.
"Sleeping." Inuyasha looked down. He wondered if she would have a dream. And if she would talk to him about it. He hated when she didn't tell him things. He wanted her to trust him, and know he would always protect her. He was pulled away from his thoughts when he heard a scream from the hut. He ran inside and saw Kagome on the floor. She was sweating heavily and acted like she couldn't breathe. She had her hands up on her neck like someone was choking her. He ran over to her, and put his hands in hers.
Little nail marks appeared on her neck. Another dream. He softly spoke to her, telling her to wake up. Telling her it would be alright. The screaming subsided but she still wriggled around like someone had pinned her to the ground.
Kagome heard voices in her head, telling her it would be alright and that they were here for her. She shook her head, trying to get rid of the thoughts thinking that was his plan. To get inside her head and mess with her. She screamed out as Inuyasha gripped her neck, squeezing the life itself out of her. After a few seconds she couldn't scream anymore. She couldn't breathe and her nails were digging into her skin trying to loosen the hand that gripped her throat.
He dropped her to the ground and got on top of her, pinning her legs down and her hands on her chest. He grazed his teeth across her neck, but stopped when she got loose. She pulled her legs up against her body and placed her feet on his chest like last time. She kicked up and heard a bang like he crashed into something. She looked up and saw Inuyasha lying on the ground. She heard the growling grow. She got up and ran towards the forest, but hit her face hard on something.
Her eyes opened. She was standing in front of the wall of the hut and sweat ran down her face. She looked down, holding her hands in front of her. Specks of blood and flesh were stuck underneath her nails. She held one hand on her neck and then pulled back. Blood ran down her thumb where she placed it on the mark where Inuyasha had grazed his fang on.
She turned around and saw Inuyasha sitting on the floor with his head shot down. "Inuyasha!" she yelled and ran over to him. Kaede walked into the room.
"What happened child?" Kaede asked. When Kagome didn't answer she knew they wanted to be alone so she left the room to attend with the others. Kagome held up his face. His golden eyes looked hurt. A tear formed in her eyes. She tried to hold them back but she couldn't. They ran down her face and caped her clothes. He looked up at her, wondering why she was crying. He put his thumb on her cheek and wiped away the tears. She smiled, and this time he smiled back. He couldn't wait. This was it. This was the time he had been waiting for.
He leaned down, moving his hand under her chin. He placed his lips on hers. Her eyes slowly widened, then closed. She leaned in and furthered the passionate kiss, giving him all that she had and all that she knew. He placed his hand on the back of her leg and the other on her back and pushed her in.
Inuyasha finally pulled back and Kagome breathed in deep. She smiled and he loved it. He loved when she smiled. He loved it when she was happy. He loved everything. He wasn't about to lose her to Ekiru either.
Inuyasha looked up when Kaede walked in. She looked down where Inuyasha's hand was on Kagome's leg. She laughed some but looked at Kagome. Inuyasha blushed and removed his hand quickly.
"Kagome, Sango woke up. She says she wants to talk to ye." Kaede said. Kagome gasped and followed Kaede to another hut. After a few seconds Inuyasha got up and followed too.
Kagome kneeled down next to the bed Sango laid in. Miroku's bed was next to hers. But she didn't see Shippou or Kirara "Sango! I'm so sorry! This is all my fault!" Kagome rushed.
"No its not….you had nothing to do with this." Sango winced when she tried to lean up.
"Don't move. You'll open your wounds again." Kagome said, gently pushing her friend back down. "What happened?"
"Ekiru." Kagome's face scrunched up in anger at the mention of his name.
"He did this!" Kagome said angrily.
"He must have known you left. He never asked where you were when he attacked. He was after us." Sango's eyes drooped.
"Its ok. Go back to sleep." Kagome said. Sango nodded weakly and closed her eyes. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha who glared down at the floor. "How's Shippou and Kirara?" Kagome looked back at Kaede. The old miko just pointed to a hut across from the one they were in. She walked out of the hut, with Inuyasha still following not far behind. They walked into the hut and saw little Shippou laying on a small cot, wrapped up in blankets to keep the breeze out. She quickly walked over to him, kneeling down beside the bed. She stroked his brown hair, and his foot that stuck out of the blankets twitched lightly. She stroked a little harder, and the twitch became harder. She giggled when the little kit snored.
She placed his tiny head in her palm and continued to stroke his hair. He mumbled softly in his sleep and shifted his back to Kagome. She stood up, happy that her little friend was alright. A little lump underneath the blanket moved about then crawled out. It was just Kirara. She had small stitches in her leg but she was just fine. She couldn't transform until the wound was healed and the stitches taken out though. That meant they would have to stay here for a couple days. And that was just fine with Kagome.
THERE! ARE YOU HAPPY! Ok so he didn't say "I love you." But sometimes action is better then WORDS! You don't wanna marry a rich person, say you love them but you don't kiss them or nothing. They may think your just after their money! Ok so im a bit hyper! Dr Pepper and two poptarts can go a long way! Trust me!
