"Hold On Kagome..."

Inuyasha felt a sudden pain in his heart . "Kagome!" he yelled. I smell her blood , there's a lot

of it ... I have to save her , I have to help her! he thought to himself and tried to run quicker .

The smell was getting stronger the more he ran . 'Kagome's in a lot of pain..' he thought again to

himself . He had ran off faster than the others and left them behind . He was too worried to wait

for them to catch up. His brothers scent was strong now and the smell of Kagome's blood was

now to a sickening point . He knew if he didn't reach her soon she would die . He stopped , he

knew he was ther . He could see Kagome's limp , lifeless body strung up between to trees . She

looked as if she stood there with her arms stretched out . "Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled trting to see

if she would wake up . She didn't move and Inuyasha feared the worst . Sesshoumaru stepped out

from his hiding place in the shadows behind Kagome .

"Hello , Inuyasha..." he said stepping out beside Kagome .

"What have you done to her! Damn you , Sesshoumaru! Dman you to Hell!" Inuyasha screamed clenching his Tetseiga tightley , ready to

slaughter his brother for hurting Kagome .

"Ahh, now now , Inuyasha . Don't you wish to stay with her through her final breaths?" Sesshoumaru said and turned and cut the ropes

that held Kagome's dying body up .

She came tumbling to the ground and still didn't stir. Inuyasha watched as his brother walked off into the shadows and then he ran in

tears over to Kagome and lifted up her body onto his and sat down on his knees , holding her body close to his. "Its okay Kagome . Im

here now ... Hold on Kagome . Please, please hold on..." Inuyasha said and quietly cried .

"Inuyasha! Kagome!" Sango yelled out to her friend .

"Is she ...?" Miroku said running up to them .

"No..." Inuyasha said standing up , Kagome's limp body in his arms . "Take good care of her for me... I have to go see my brother..."

Inuyasha said handing Kagome over to Miroku .

Inuyasha turned and slowly started walking toward where his brother walked off. "Inuyasha ,

what if it's a trap? What if he wanted you to follow him? He'll kill you for sure..." Sango said

looking at him with caring friendly eyes.

" So be it , he tried to kill Kagome and if she dies ... I want to kill him or make sure I go with her..." Inuyasha said leaping into a tree and

taking off after his brother .

"Inuyasha...no...I love you ...too..." Kagome said in a whisper and Sango and Miroku both looked at her than each other .

"No wonder he ran off after her so fast ... he loves her ..." Miroku said starring at Kagome who was barely breathing.
