Chapter 7

InuYasha came running into camp with Kagome in his arms. "Wake up! Kagome's injured!" he said, waking Sango and Shippo. They both woke wearily, but jumped up when they saw Kagome. Sango kicked Miroku, who woke with a start, and ran over. "What happened!"

InuYasha set Kagome down on the soft grass. "She was attacked by a water demon. Does anybody know how to work this stuff?" he asked, holding up Kagome's first aid kit.

Shippo stepped towards Kagome with wide eyes and looked like he was going to be unable to speak but was able to whimper, "Yes, Kagome showed me." He grabbed the box and reached for odd looking bottles and bandages.

He quickly finished bandaging her legs and sat back. Kagome's legs were still bleeding but had slowed due to the bandages. She was still in obvious pain as she slept restlessly. It was still very dark when he told everyone they could go back to sleep. InuYasha sat next to Kagome, watching her suffer and he felt so helpless.

After an hour he looked down when he heard her stir. He saw her eyes open and look around confused. She gave a groan and fell silent again.

"How are you feeling?" he asked, unable to think of anything else to say.

"Uuuumm….hurt?" she said, putting on a small smile.

He was silent for a while then replied, "I'm sorry. I had just finished saying I would protect you then I let you get hurt. I'm sooo sorry." He bowed his head, knowing she wouldn't accept his apology.

Instead, she tilted her head to look into his face, "It's okay. It was my fault in the first place."

He looked up, surprised she forgave him so easily. "She's amazing! If I was her, I'd be sitting me straight to hell. I guess that's what makes her so……"he paused in his thoughts, trying to find the right word for her, "special." He thought to himself, finally finding a word to describe her.

Kagome leaned her head back and fell asleep again. "Her sleeping face is so peaceful. What is this feeling in my heart? Its like whenever I smell Kagome's scent." He reached down and touched her silky raven black hair. He pulled his hand back when Kagome started murmuring in her sleep. He reached back down and combed his fingers through her hair. Suddenly Kagome turned in her sleep and grabbed his hand.

At first he thought she had woken up and was mad at him for touching her hair while she was asleep, but he soon realized she was harmlessly tossing in her sleep, although she still had InuYasha's hand in her tight grip.

He tried getting his hand back before she woke up when she started mumbling again, and he pulled his hand back harder.

When he finally got his hand free, he heard her mumble, "Inu….Yasha. Don't leave me…" s a single tear shone on her cheek.

He wiped the tear away and whispered back, "I won't; as long as you don't leave me."

there we go!ch.7!as I said last chapter, I was dissapointed in myself...I let Kagome live for this chapter...the reason i want Kagome dead is simple, she has InuYasha eating out of the palms of her hands and she doesnt take advantage of it!good thing Im the author for now!mwahahaha! see ya'll in ch.8!
