I'm guessing you liked the first chapter, if you didn't, then why are you still reading?

Also, most of these characters are not mine!

The monster had now torn the left side of her stomach. The constant bleeding was making her weaker and weaker. She took one last glance at the red eyes before closing her eyes.

She saw how her life was now flashing in her mind. All the pain she had encountered throughout her young life was more powerful than the huge hole on her side.

A loud scream rang through the forest, "Feel the wrath of my Wind Scar!"

Her head was pounding uncontrollably now. She thought she was hearing things.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Are you feeling better?" Kagome was sitting next to the young girl. She wore the largest smile that made her feel safe.

"W-What happened?" her head was still pounding so she could barely hear the sound of her own voice.

"After we heard you screaming in the forest, we came to help. I was afraid we had gone to late but seeing you wake up, I'm hopping you will be ok." she replied.

'That voice, it sounds so familiar' she thought to herself.

Kagome placed a wet cloth on her head to help with her fever. Then asked her to rest some more before leaving the hut.

"Hello, Kagome! How is the girl?" asked Kaede. "She needs more rest." she replied with a fake smile.

Inuyasha was resting on a tree when Kagome arrived. "Inuyasha, I am worried about her."

"Hmm… the girl?" he said with a calm face, "You worry too much, Kagome. Kaede will take care of her."

She wanted to believe him but her wounds had been deep and nothing showed signs that she would stay alive for long.

Kagome climbed up the tree and sat next to Inuyasha. She took in a deep breath and let it out slowly then rested her head on his shoulder. He blushed a bit but rested his head on hers.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile……

Sango had placed her boomerang by her side for in case anyone decided to disturb her in her sleep.

A small rustling came from a bush nearby and she let Hiraikotsu fly! It cut through the brush but left a very scared Miroku shaking, with real fear in his eyes.

"Miroku! I could of killed you!" Sango yelled at the monk with fury. Yet she was relieved that he was okay.

"I'm sorry, Sango, I was wondering if you wanted some company." he replied, still shaking.

"Well, I'm perfectly fine. I have Kirara to keep me company." she stared off into the sunset with a slight smile on her face.

He stared in pure shock. "W-What is wrong with you?" she said. "Nothing" he snapped. "I'm perfectly fine also." he gave off a frown as he got up.

"Miroku! Wait… you can stay and watch the sunset with me, but only if you want to."

His frown disappeared and sat next to Sango. A red patch formed on her cheeks as she felt his hand on her lap. Then raised her hand….slap!

Miroku fell backwards with a red hand print on his face. 'It was worth it'

He smiled.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was getting late and Inuyasha hadn't come down from the tree.

"Hmm….Inuyasha is acting kind of strange today."

"Why do you say that?" asked Shippo, the little kitsune showed confusion on his face.

Kagome smiled, "It's probably nothing, Shippo. Maybe he is right and I worry too much."

Inuyasha was rubbing his arm. 'Stupid arm, I must of hurt it while fighting that youkai in the forest'

"Hello Inuyasha."

He turned to see the miko smile up at him.

"You should be sleeping." he said, never staring straight at her.

"Eh, I'm not tired. Besides, I wanted to check up on the girl before I went to sleep."

"I told you she will be fine! She'll get up soon, you'll see."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later that night……

'I need to find him! If I don't the power of the Shikon No Tama will be wasted and my future will stay the same! But with this wound, I will never rise from this bed'

The young girl cried as the thought rose into her mind. She hadn't noticed how Inuyasha was staring at her through the blinds.

'One thing I can't stand is seeing a woman cry, what could be wrong with her?'
