Chapter 9

InuYasha woke up drowsily, looking down to Kagome to find her gone. He looked around, now wide awake. He spotted Miroku and Shippo chatting, "Where's Kagome!" InuYasha asked worriedly.

"Oh, she went to take a bath with Sango." Miroku said calmly, amused by InuYasha's worrying.

"B-b-but….she was injured! How'd she get there!" He seemed thoroughly convinced she couldn't have possibly done such a thing.

"Hm…yes, she was injured. That doesn't she can't take a bath. She leaned on Sango and walked there." Shippo said, answering his questions in order.

Finally calming down, InuYasha sat back down. "Did she look like it hurt to walk?"

"Yes. A tad bit, but Sango helped her and apparently, Kagome was very eager for a bath." Miroku answered.

InuYasha, now mad at her for doing such a stupid thing when she was injured, waited for her to get back in silence. After about 10 minutes, Sango and Kagome were in sight; both were wearing towels, and had dripping hair. But that wasn't what made InuYasha jump up and rush over to them. It was the blood running down Kagome's left arm. "What happened!" all three guys in the camp screamed out, Shippo and Miroku hopping to their feet seconds after InuYasha.

"Kagome was attacked by a water demon. Sound familiar to you?" Sango replied with an out of breath tone. She helped Kagome sit down on the grass. Kagome reached for her backpack and pulled out her aid kit. She sat trying to tend to her arm, ending with a clumsy mess. InuYasha stepped forward and rewrapped it for her properly.

Kagome's entire arm had been cut up the side from her shoulder to her wrist, not deep though. Her arm continued to bleed slowly reddening her bandages in several places.

"Two water demon attacks at Kagome within two days. There must be a connection between the two attacks." Miroku said seriously, sitting down among the cluster everyone else had formed.

"Probably the same demon trying to get the jewel shards." InuYasha said, everyone else nodding in agreement; all except Kagome.

"Maybe…but I wasn't wearing my jewels either of the times." Kagome reached into her backpack again, pulling out her necklace with the small jar holding the shards. "Although, they might have known I posses them and they thought I had them with me."

"That's most likely it. That means you can't keep running off anymore. You have to stay close to everyone else. Got it?" InuYasha said, turning to Kagome to make sure she agreed. Finally, she nodded reluctantly, realizing she wouldn't have much privacy anymore.

"Good. Well, should we continue forward to the village we were heading to?" Miroku asked, turning to Kagome. "Or are you not feeling well enough?"

"Oh, of course! I'm feeling fine. We should go on to the village." Kagome replied, packing up her kit and other things lying near her.

Soon, everyone was ready and Kagome carefully hoisted herself onto InuYasha's back, holding onto his Kimono with her one good arm. They all set out back on their original journey, unaware of the spies following them.
