Chapter 12
Kagome sighed. It was almost three days and all this time she stayed as the village miko. 'I will leave today. The REAL village miko will be alright now'. With this she walked into the hut. "How are you feeling, Anshar-sama". Older miko smiled "I'm okay, child. I think I'll be able to walk today. I almost healed, thanks to you". Kagome smiled in answer. Then she said"Anshar-sama, I will be leaving today". Anshar frowned "Why, child". "I'm traveling miko. I can't stay in one place for long" sighed Kagome.
-Later that day-
"Goodbye, everyone" yelled Kagome as she rushed to the forest. Suddenly shivers run down her spine. 'Youkai?'. She ran to the direction she felt youki coming from. What she saw in the clearing, made her gasp "Inu Taisho-sama". Here he was, lord of the West. He lay on his tail, a large wound on his chest. His armor was broken. Inu Taisho seemed uncurious. However, when she came closer, he growled at her. As she came even closer, she almost giggled at what he did next. He sniffed air and his all body seemed to relax. "It's you, miko" he said. "Yes" answered Kagome. Inu Taisho closed his eyes. Looks like she actually fainted this time… Kagome sighed and went to the hot spring not too far away to get some water. When she came back, Inu Taisho looked like he was sleeping. Blushing madly, she removed his haori and gasped. The wound was GIANT! Kagome could only to wonder how he could stay awake for so long. With this she started to clean Inu Taisho's wound. Soon water that she used was pink from blood and the wound was clean. After putting on bandages and what was left of his haori (after cleaning it, and fixing it, of course), she sat down and leaned against the tree. She looked up at the Taiyoukai again. 'He'll be alright'. With that she fell asleep.
-Next day-
Inu Taisho opened his eyes. His vision was somewhat blurred, but it will pass soon, he decided. As he tried to get up, Inu Taisho felt a strong wave of pain. He looked down to where his wound was supposed to be only to find it cleaned and bandaged. After looking around the clearing, he noticed a few things:
a)it was the same clearing he was in before
b)there was a figure, that looked oddly familiar
c)it was that girl, Kagome
She was sleeping. Even in her sleep she looked innocent. To innocent for a miko. They killed youkai, not saved them. Kagome was a strange girl. And yet loving and caring. 'She's so pure…'.Inu Taisho was snapped out of his thoughts as he heard Kagome's heart beating become faster, signalizing that she was awake. Young miko opened her eyes only to see Inu Taisho staring at her.
"…So, you were attacked by the group of dragon youkai" as inu Taisho nodded, Kagome sighed "That would explain why your wounds heal so slowly". Again, Inu Taisho nodded "Dragon youkai were attacking Western Lands for some time now. Then they disappeared for a while, and a few days ago they attacked again. I was able to kill most of ones that attacked me, but as you see, I was wounded" . " It seems that you'll be healing for two-three days. One of my friends, a youkai too, was once wounded by dragon too. He healed for quite a long time". Inu Taisho frowned " I need to come back to the Western castle soon" he looked at the miko, whose eyes looked sad "Seshomaru misses you". Miko's head shot up momentary and she smiled "He does". As Inu Taisho nodded, her face become a little sad "I miss him too". "So, what are you doing here, miko? I thought you said that you need to go home. So why didn't you" with this Taiyoukai caught a salty scent in the air. 'Is she crying?'.
Kagome tried, but couldn't stop tears that flew from her eyes at the memory that the time portal wasn't opening for her. This was just too much for her to take. She was trapped in the pat, where the only one she knew was Sesshomaru, who was only a child, and Kouga, who was a child too. So she let the tears flew. "I can't go home" sobbed Kagome "The portal that leads me home isn't opening".
Well, I don't think they'll be kissing earlier then in next chapter. But they will! I promise!
