Author Notes: This is my second fanfiction ever but my first InuYasha fanfic. Don't be too harsh and give mea chance, haha. All of the first chapters I've ever written are horrible but the story always gets better. So don't give up! Enjoy!

Kagome's POV

"Hey Kagome, hurry it up will ya!"

"InuYasha.."

"WE DON'T HAVE ALL DAY!"

"Sit boy!"

Kagome here, reporting for duty. Until just recently I was an average 15 year old teenager with a perfect family and plenty of friends at school. But a chance encounter with a portal through time changed everything. My father is a priest and runs our very own shrine at home, my mother and brother help him out whenever they can. But our shrine was special, something wonderful had happened in that exact spot many, many years back. On my 15th birthday I was headed to the well just across from our house searching for our family cat, which always seems to disappear at the least convenient of times. When I entered the small building, the well began to glow and I was sucked into another time!

When I awoke I was in a deep forest, something told me that I wasn't quite alone. I looked up and was a little startled by what I saw! A young man tied to a tree by thick vines and an arrow through his chest. I wasn't entirely sure but I figured that he wasn't dead, so I rose to check on him. When he awoke, I was given the power to command him whenever I needed, and all because I was the first to free him. So you see, I have the upper hand on InuYasha!

I can visit his time whenever I want to, and return home whenever I need a good rest or to buy some supplies for the journey ahead. I consider myself pretty lucky. I mean, who would have thought that time travel was actually possible? In any case, this time isn't all that safe. An evil sorceror named Naraku keeps stirring up problem for InuYasha and his friends.

"Why'd you have to go and do that!" Inuyasha shouted, still firmly planted into the ground.

"Maybe if you were more of a gentlemen, Kagome wouldn't have felt the need to teach you a lesson." Miroku said, scratching his head in frustration.

Miroku, is a young monk cursed with a wind tunnel on his left hand. Years ago, every male in his family was cursed with the wind tunnel and still thecurse is being passed down through the ages. The man who put this curse on his family is none other than Naraku. Miroku fights along side us to one day battle Naraku and break thespell for his future children. But his strength isn't all that he's good for, Miroku is also quite the ladies man. He'll flirt with anything female, but I guess he still has some standards. Call it girls intuition, but I don't think that Sango is all that happy with Miroku's constant flirting.

Sango, a beautiful girl skilled in the ninja arts. Sango is travelling with us in order to break the spell Naraku placed on her younger brother, and she will do anything to bring her little brother back to safety. Not only is she incredibly caring, but she's also very powerful. Her skills come in handy with every battle we face, as does her pet two tail named Kirara. Normally a human and a demon can't form a loving relationship because of their differences but Sango and Kirara are never apart! Kirara is always there to make travelling easier for anyone that needs a ride.

"You're a gentlemen?" Shippou asked sarcastically, quickly running to hide behind Sango.

Shippou, a little fox demon that is tagging along with InuYasha and his friends because he really doesn't feel that he belongs anywhere else. InuYasha saved him a while back from an evil demon looking for some easy food and that's how they met each other. Shippou is a cute little guy with a big heart, but is easily frightened because of his young age.

"Is anyone else noticing the strange aura? I don't like it." Sango asked, drawing her weapon with ease.

InuYasha sniffs the air for a moment, "Yeah, it definitely reaks of Naraku's stench. I'm going.." All I notice is a red blurr taking off quickly out of sight, Tetsusaiga drawn and ready for a fight.

"InuYasha!" My voice didn't reach him in time and if I didn't get my butt into gear fast I was going to be left behind. "Hey, wait up you guys!"

I hopped on my trusty bike and peddled after everyone as quickly as my legs would allow. I'm always being left behind, but I guess that's my fault. I just need to pick up my pace!

"Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!"

I heard InuYasha's voice in the distance and a sudden cry escape from the demon. "You guys, I'm here!" I turned my bike into a stop and jumped off, drawing an arrow in case things got messy.

"It's about time, Kagome!" InuYasha takes a break from the fight and looks back at me for a moment, watching me as Icatch my breath.

"You're the one who left me behind!" I protested, taking a step closer to the demon. I did try hard, why can't he ever cut me some slack? I guess it's because deep down he cares, I know he does. He has to feel the same way, right?

"Now is not the time to be bickering!" Miroku interrupted, forcing us to remember the task at hand.

"Right! Wind Scar!" InuYasha raises his Tetsusaiga, releasing a powerful beam of light into the already weakened demon. "HA, I knew you were nothing to worry about."

The demon was on the verge of death but he couldn't just let us escape without a scratch, an eye for an eye. And I had a feeling that I was the one he'd chose to pick on, usually my feelings are right on the money.

"Kasai Kisoku!" The tall, slimy beast yelled out, taking his last breath.

"KAGOME!" I saw InuYasha run towards me for a moment but soon everything I knew so well went black. I can still actively think, but when it comes to voicing what I'd like to say, my lips are frozen. My whole body is limp, and cold like a broken rag doll. InuYasha, please help me! Please..

"Hey, Kagome.. Say something, will ya?" InuYasha shook my body lightly in his arms, hoping for some sort of reaction to cross my face. "Kagome..?"

"..She's going to be fine, right?" Sango took a step towards Kagome, lifting her hand to feel her forehead. "She's alive, but I don't know what could be the matter."

"Poison, I should think. Once we find the cure, Kagome will be up and fighting in no time. No need to fret, dear Sango." Miroku walked over to Sango, placing a hand on her scratched cheek. "A beautiful girl like you shouldn't worry. I'll make sure that Kagome will recover, just for you, Sango."

"You flirt with Sango even at a time like this? Jerk!" Shippou spoke up, puffing his chest out and stepping forward slightly to make his point.

InuYasha's POV

"Poison, huh? We need to find the medicine fast before it spreads into her entire body. I'm not going to let Kagome die!" I started running through the woods, still holding Kagome's limp form. "Kagome, listen to me. You can fight this, I know you're stronger than that. And damn it, you know it, too. So fight, already!"

"InuYasha, get back here! Don't be rash! We have to decide which direction to take." Miroku chased after me, hoping that I'd hear him and slow down for a while.

I stopped in my tracks and waited for him to catch up, hurry it the hell up Miroku. "There should be a village to the west of here, maybe they'll know something about the cure there. I believe that's our best option for now."

"Alright.. We're heading west then and not stopping until we get there." I looked down at Kagome, deep down hoping that her warm eyes would open and look at me once more. But of course that never happened. Damn that demon to hell!

After hours of uninterrupted walking, we came across the village. It sure wasn't anything special, there might be 6 homes in total here. Miroku probably didn't make the right choice.

"Where should we go?" Sango wondered aloud, stopping for a moment to scan each and every house.

"Look for the biggest, fanciest house and that's where the town elder should live. And that house right there looks the largest to me!" Shippou pointed straight ahead, a proud smirk playing across his features.

"We may as well try there, then." I walked quickly over to the house, and stopped at the sliding doors. Gently, I pushed them apart and peered inside, immediately noticing a man with his back turned to me.

"What is it that you seek?" The town elder asked, rising from his seated position. "A demon, huh? Leave this place immediately or I'll have to use force!"

"Shut up, old man. We're here to ask a favor." Cut the crap, not all demons are bad. You'd think the town elder would know that by now.

"Uhh.. Let me handle this." Miroku pushed me out of the way, bowing slightly to the elder. "Our friend is badly poisoned and we came to this village to ask if anyone knew where the medicine could be found. We're in desperate need of help."

"You're a monk?" Miroku nodded and the elder continued, "Some say a flower that only blooms on a new moon can cure almost any ailment. It's in the mountains just south of this village, the walk isn't all that tedious. And you happen to be in luck, tomorrow is scheduled for a new moon, or so I've heard. Most that travel seeking the medicine have to wait months for the cure, and by then the one they are hoping to save is long gone."

"Thank you for your help." Sango spoke up, bowing slightly to the elder. Everyone seems to be this old mans biggest fan, but his information was valuable to us so I'll let it slide.

"If you need to spend the night, you're welcome to do so. The house at the very end is reserved for any visitors that wonder by and need a rest, you're more than welcome to stay there until you've got what you came for."

We all walked towards the home in which we'd be staying, and now that we finally have some alone time, we all can discuss what will happen tomorrow night.

"New moon, eh? I guess that means you'll be staying here, InuYasha." Shippou said teasingly, hoping for some sort of reaction from me. And you're damn right I'm gonna give him what he seeks.

"HA! I'll be coming with all of you, don't be ridiculous." I challenged, leaning back against the wall and closing my heavy eyes.

"Then who will watch over Kagome? I don't think we know this village well enough yet to just leave her in their hands." Miroku looked over at Kagome and still saw no difference in her state.

"Fine.." Kagome's body was resting against my side, her shallow breath warming my shoulder.

"When we return with the medicine, you should go back into Kagome's time with her. She'll need to rest and someone there to protect her." Sango added, knowing full well that I'd accept. All you need to do is add 'protect' into a sentence and I'm there.

Kirara's soft snoring made everyone yawn and pass out from exhaustion, this time I couldn't even keep myself awake.

Don't worry, Kagome. You'll be up and laughing againsoon, I promise..
