A Long Day
Chapter 2
Alright now. Sorry for the short intro, but, it was hard to make a cliffhanger. Sorry again.
Kagome had a large, bloody cut down her chest. Her eyes were dilated, and she was unconscious.
"Kagome!" Shippo cried, over her body.
Inuyasha was running toward Kagome. He was at her side in a heartbeat. "Kagome, wake up." He pleaded.
"We got to get to Kaede's. She'll be able to-" Sango started, but Inuyasha ran off, with Kagome. Sango stood there, but started to Kaede's.
'Come on, Kagome. Don't die on me.' Inuyasha thought as he ran to Kaede's. He had a war, it seemed, in his head. Up ahead, he saw Kaede's hut. He sighed of relief. 'Hang on.'
Sango had to follow by foot, with Miroku and Shippo following close behind. She was concerned for her friend, and for Inuyasha. She never had seen him like that, so caring. She thought she hallucinated. But, it was completely real. She knew when she reached Kaede's. She saw Kagome on a fouta and Inuyasha in a corner. Kaede was getting some herbs for Kagome's injury.
Sango had to ask, "Is she alright?"
Inuyasha didn't answer. He just stared at Kagome's limp, non-moving body. Non-moving himself, he said, almost in a whisper, "Kaede says she'll make it. But, if we waited any longer, she would have died." He got up, breaking contact with Kagome, walked out, and ran off.
"What a jerk. He should be there, not Kagome." Sango said, glaring out the door.
Miroku went to rub Sango's butt, but met an angry Shippo. He stopped instantly. He said, "Well, you know him, he can be a jerk." He stopped as Sango went to grab her Hiraikotsu and throw it into the forest. "Whoa, Sango, no need to get rash." He grabbed her arm to stop her. She stopped, looked at Miroku, who smiled, and sighed and put her weapon down. "Your right." She said, and walked away.
Inuyasha ran through the forest top speed, trying to clear his mind. But he couldn't, with Kagome near death. 'Why did I let her go thru with that? It's my fault.' He turned around, looked at the direction of the village, sighed, and ran back at the village.
That evening, after Inuyasha returned, and got angry at the bunch, he was currently in a corner; Kagome's condition was getting better. Kaede asked Inuyasha, "Can ye watch after Kagome while we go collect some more herbs?" Inuyasha looked at her with a cold stare, then said, "Fine." She left, with the others behind her, leaving only Inuyasha and Kagome behind.
Inuyasha decided to go get some food, but, as he left, Kagome stirred, and her eyes opened. She was greeted by Inuyasha looking down at her.
"Kagome." Inuyasha said, looking at her. She looked really weak, but managed, "Inuyasha." in a broken, weak voice. She fell asleep after that. Inuyasha went to get food. He found 3 rabbits, and brought them to eat. He figured he could attempt to cook them. Amazingly, he did. He knew that Kagome was hungry, so, he left 2.
Kagome woke up to a pleasant smell. Inuyasha was the one in the room, so someone had to cook the rabbits. 'Inuyasha?' Kagome knew Inuyasha couldn't cook. She felt better, enough that she could get up. She saw 2 rabbits, and helped herself to some. Inuyasha woke up while she was eating.
"Better, wench?" he said, looking at her. She looked at him, smiled, and continued. After she ate the rabbit, she asked him, "Did you cook this?" He didn't look at her, but she assumed he did. She crawled to him, and said, "Thanks" He smiled inside himself.
Hows this. I hope its better.
