The Healing Process
Inuyasha opened his eyes . He was lying in some hay in a hut . His shirt was off and he had
bandages wrapped around his chest and abdomen . He sat up groaning in pain . His mind
instantly remembered what happened . "Kagome..." he whispered softly looking around the hut .
He saw her finally on the other side of the room . The others had built a bed for her to lie in . He
crawled over to her "Kagome..." he said in a whisper . She was extremely pale , her beautiful
shimmering black her no longer shined . It hurt Inuyasha to see her like this . A lone tear rolled
down his face and dripped onto the floor . "Im so sorry Kagome..." Inuyasha said and stood
quietly and limped out of the hut to find the others . The bright sunshine sickened him today , It
shouldn't shine so beautifully while Kagome lay dying in the darkness . he thought to himself ,
knowing there wasn't a thing he could do about it .
"Inuyasha , your awake !" screamed little Shippo running up to him . "How are you feeling?" Shippo said jumping up in down , glad to
see his friend was feeling better .
"Fine Shippo..." Inuyasha said kindly .
"Inuyasha , you shouldn't be up and moving around yet . Not that I'd want you to sleep a few more days." Miroku said walking toward
Inuyasha with Sango at his side , holding his hand . Inuyasha noticed this and the two quickly let go .
"What do you mean 'a few more days'? How long have I slept?" Inuyasha said not really caring about their hand holding .
"You and Kagome have been sleeping the past 3 days now..." Sango told the confused and sore Inuyasha .
"Has Kagome woke yet , Inuyasha?"Shippo asked . Inuyasha looked down to him and shook his head no .
"Don't expect her to wake anytime soon , Inuyasha . She was extremely weak and refused to rest until we took you back
here and tended to your wounds." Miroku said looking at Inuyasha as if he was trying to tell him
something more than that .
"Would it be okay if I sat with her for awhile?" Inuyasha asked looking down to the ground and then the others faces . Miroku and
Sango were shaking their heads yes .
" Go on , Inuyasha ..." Shippo's little voice squeaked out . Inuyasha turned to walk back Inside .
"Thank you for building the bed for her to rest her fragile body in ...:" Inuyasha said still with his back facing them .
"It was nothing ..." Miroku said and Inuyasha continued on into the hut until he disappeared from sight .
"You think he'll be okay?" Sango said turning to Miroku and she held his hand once again . Miroku simply shook his head yes as he
continued to stare into the hut as if he really wondered himself .
Inuyasha sat quietly on his knees beside Kagome's bed . He held her cold , pale hand , hoping to warm her cold soul a bit . "I love you
Kagome ..." he said hoping she'd respond . He looked at her once beautiful face . Her face was pale , her lips were blue , her hair
seemed dead and she appeared to be nothing more than a dead corpse . Inuyasha couldn't hold it in any longer , he began crying .
He must have sat there for hours , around six , before Kagome woke up . He was sitting starring out the hut , still holding her hand . He felt her hand twitch and feel slightly warmer . He looked over to her .
"Inu...yasha..." she whispered opening her eyes.
"Kagome , your awake ..." Inuyasha said, excited . Kagome smile slightly .
"Oh Inuyasha, how long have you been sitting here ?" she asked him sweetly .
"Around 6 or 7 hours , since I first woke up myself . You know we've slept 3 days. Huh , me sleeping that long , you believe that?"
Inuyasha said with a smile . He was trying to make Kagome feel better . Her color slowly returned . Inuyasha leaned in closer to her . "I
love you Kagome..." Inuyasha said
"I love you too , Inuyasha ..." she said and the two drew their heads together slowly until their lips met . Kagome's lips were
warmed by Inuyasha's and he leaned his head back up and smiled at her . Then she looked in his
eyes as if she was saying 'Again , Inuyasha , again.." . He leaned in to kiss her again , except this time they weren't so innocent .
The next day Kagome was feeling and looking a lot better . She could sit up and move more easily ,though she couldn't walk yet . She
regained color and was eating and drinking well . Her wounds were healing nicely and she was quickly and amazingly going back to her
old self . And Inuyasha didn't let the fact that she couldn't walk yet stop him from letting her see the sunshine and the flowers and the
other things she liked , besides Inuyasha that is . He would pick her up and carry her outside to wherever she wished to go . Her favorite
spot was on alittle hill where she sat in the soft , shaded grass . And Inuyasha helped her to walk again by slowly teaching it to her legs
again . He would hold her as she'd try and walk , that way she wouldn't fall and hurt herself any worse . And the progress paid off . She
was back on her feet in a few weeks , and they set off on their journey again .
