Emarine

After they had finished burring the dead; they washed up and ate some ramen. By the time they had finished the sun was setting below the tree tops.

"Night everyone," Kagome yawned but was unheard because everyone had fallen asleep already.

Everyone slept soundly that night. Kagome, on the other hand, had a very fitful sleep.

Kagome's Dream

"Inuyasha; no!" Kagome sobbed.

Inuyasha was lying dead on the ground with Kagome laying her head on his chest. He had a wound deep enough to kill anything on his left side. Naraku rose beside her.

"Now that the half-breed is dead; I shall kill his filthy human!" He yelled as he lunged at Kagome.

She turned her head away and felt a sharp pain in her side, and all went black.

End Dream

Kagome gasped as she woke from her nightmare. She laid her head in her hands and started crying.

Inuyasha opened an eye and looked down at Kagome.

"What's wrong?" he asked as he jumped down to comfort her.

She looked up and hugged him, "You're alive thank god."

"Why wouldn't I be? What happened?" he inquired.

"It's nothing. I just had a bad dream that's all." She assured.

"Then why are you bleeding?" Inuyasha pointed to Kagome's side.

She looked and saw blood slowly dripping out of the cut she had gotten when she was rescued from the centipede.

"I don't know. I did get hit there in my dream, but it couldn't have opened because of my dream."

"Well we should get it bandaged up again. Wait, shouldn't it have healed by now?"

"Ya, but I haven't been resting as much as I should."

"What difference does that make?"

They bandaged up her wound again and started to go back to the clearing when Kagome heard a rustling noise.

"What was that?" Kagome stuttered.

"Don't you mean, where was that?" Inuyasha questioned.

"What do you mean?" Kagome looked at him.

"Let's just say you don't just have a strong sense of smell anymore," Inuyasha retorted.

He picked her up and took off.

"So, uhh, how far is it this time?" Kagome inquired.

"Far enough for a human to not be able to smell it, or a normal human I should say."

They went in silence the rest of the way, and landed in a clearing where they saw a young girl unconscious right in front of them.

"It must be Emarine." Kagome whispered as she ran over to see how badly the girl was hurt. "Inuyasha, go get me my kit and some water, quickly."

"Why can't we just take her back to the camp?" Inuyasha walked over to Kagome.

"She is in no condition to travel even if you carried her." She scowled at Inuyasha.

"Fine I'm going; geez."

He took off, and was back within five minutes, carrying what Kagome had asked for, and a little surprise. Kimi was right behind him.

"Wow, good thinking Inuyasha." Kagome complimented.

"Actually, she was awake when I got back, and she demanded that she come with me," He shrugged.

"Oh, well it was smart anyway," she sighed.

"How can I help?" Kimi asked as she walked over to Emarine, "I know nothing of your strange ointments."

"Inuyasha Go back to camp. If I'm in trouble Kimi is strong enough to save me." Kagome ordered.

"Feh."

"Do you want me to say it?" she asked.

"NO!" He yelled and bounded off.

"There that's finished now let's get started." Kagome looked at Kimi, "What?"

"Nothing I just find that highly amusing." Kimi grinned.

"He is SO stubborn," Kagome sighed.

They finished bandaging her about and hour before dawn. Inuyasha interrupted them once to check up on them. It ended with a sit, and a hole in the ground.

"I'm so worn out now," Kagome complained.

"Well at least you're not her," Kimi stated.

"True," Kagome replied, "Let's go back."

Kimi nodded.

"Inuyasha you can come back now." Kagome called knowing that she was too far away from camp to be heard.

Inuyasha bounded into the clearing.

"Ah, so you didn't go back to the clearing." Kagome smirked.

"Yes I did!" Inuyasha lied.

"No you didn't, because if you had you wouldn't have heard me call for you." She continued smirking.

"Whatever."

"Shall we go then?" Kimi broke the silence.

"Yeah," came two replies.

Kagome helped get Emarine on Kimi's back, and then she got on Inuyasha's back. They took off and were soon greeted by Gi and Kush.

"What happened? We woke up and you were gone. You found Ema! How is she?" they both asked all at once.

"She is in pretty bad shape, but she will be fine," Kimi assured the two, "Don't even think about waking Ara, Kush. Let him rest; he is still very tired."

Kush had started to jump to get Ara to wake up, but Kimi had caught him.

"Kagome, you were gone when I woke up," Shippo yawned, "Who's that? Is it Emarine?"

"Yes, it is," Kagome answered, "Lay her down here."

They put her down at the foot of the tree Ara was sleeping in.

Within an hour Sango, Miroku, and Kirara had woken up, and they were cooking breakfast.

"Wow, she looks really mature for her age." Miroku commented.

"Don't get any ideas monk." Sango growled.

"What are you looking at me like that for?" Miroku slowly backed away from Sango.

"Why is Sango so mad at Miroku? He just said she looked mature." Shippo asked.

"Maybe we'll tell you when you're older." Inuyasha sighed.

After Sango was finished beating Miroku up with his staff; they sat down to eat. In the middle of eating Emarine/ Ema got up and walked over and sat between Kimi and Gi.

"So you are Kagome if I heard right." She said to Kagome.

"How did you know?" Kagome replied.

"I woke up for about twenty minutes. I heard you say sit to someone, a noise of something hitting the ground, and then the thing say your name." she sighed.

"That would have been Inuyasha," Kimi clarified.

"No!" Ema gasped.

"What?" Kimi and Kagome asked at the same time.

Ema looked around and found Inuyasha, "You should not be here; you should be pinned to the tree of ages."

"Yeah, what of it?" Inuyasha commented without looking up.

"How can you allow him to be so close to the sacred jewel?" Ema asked as she got up and started backing away from Inuyasha.

"Well, it's hard to explain," Kagome said, "To put it simply I say 'sit' and Inuyasha falls to the ground, correction is forced to fall to the ground."

Thud

"Oops sorry Inuyasha." Kagome apologized.

"Curse this necklace! Get it off of me!" he yelled as he tugged at the beads.

"We all know that will never happen." Shippo stated in a matter-of-fact way.

Inuyasha continued to tug away at the necklace; even though he knew it would never help any. Sango got Ema some ramen and they ate on in silence.

"So it was you that found me?" Ema asked Inuyasha and Kagome after supper.

"Yep."

"Well I guess you aren't so bad after all." Ema confessed.

"Why did you think Inuyasha was bad?" Miroku questioned.

"Growing up I had heard so many bad stories about him. I never thought he could be good, I mean after all, he did kill the priestess that protected the jewel." Ema answered.

"Hey! That wasn't me!" Inuyasha protested.

"It wasn't." Kagome supported him.

"Then who did?"

"Naraku," Sango coldly replied.

"Who?" Ema asked.

"The man who killed Kikyo, cursed Miroku's grandfather, and slaughtered my village," Sango paused and the added, "Is that all? I could have sworn that he's done more than that."

"I think that's it." Miroku thought out loud.

"Well, that's nice to know. At least now we know what we're up against." Ema stated.

The rest of the night they spent their time discussing random things. Inuyasha got 'sat' and he slept away from everyone else that night. The next day Kagome woke up and was greeted by the sight of everyone else up and Sango starting breakfast.

yawn "What time is it?" she asked as she sat up and rubbed her eyes.

"The sun just came up, so it's pretty early." Gi answered.

"Oh," she yawned again, "I guess we are leaving today?"

"Why wouldn't we there's nothing here we can do." Inuyasha replied from up in a tree.

"Well that's settled. I guess we can set out after breakfast. How about that guys?"

"Sure, why not." Was everybody's reply.

As promised they set out after breakfast and traveled for the rest of the day. Kagome got on Inuyasha's back and fell asleep a few times. By time they settled down for the night every one was dead tired. They ate in silence and went to sleep.
