Chapter 7- Habon Flower

Inuyasha POV

I can't think straight. Damn. What's going on? One minute I want to kill the next I want to thank kami for keeping my friends alive.. What the hells going on?... Am I loosing my mind?

Inuyasha is sitting on a log in the middle of the forest with his hands in his hair for who knows how long, but the suns no longer in the sky. He shakes his head for a few seconds, as if trying to get someone out of his head. The then begins walking back to the village. He takes in his surroundings. Kagome is sitting by a fire and he can smell his friends' scents going off into the forest. He walks up and takes a seat next to the school girl. Her lips curve into a small smile.

"I was worried about you."

"Sorry."

"Inuyasha?"

"What?"

"...Forget it. Sorry. It's stupid."

" Tell me."

"It's just... no. Forget it." He watches her as her as head drifts to the floor and her hair falls foward covering her face. He reaches his hand over to her face and gently wraps his hand around her chin and rose her head.

"Tell me... please?" They locked gazes.

"What's wrong?" His hand pulled back and his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"You just.. .left. And you didnt say where you were going... And I didn't know if you were dead or alive.. I was scared...Inuyasha."

"I'm here now."

"And I feel stupid."

"Don't feel-" She looked up to see his pained expression.

"Inuyasha? What's wrong?"

"I feel... I feel weird Kagome."

"What's wrong?"

"I'm not sure." He began shaking until he slid to the floor. She ran to his side and held him so that he woundn't fall and make his condition worse.

"Inuyasha, what's wrong? What's going on? Miroku! Sango!"

"kagome... Somethings-"He collasped on her lap as his eyes fluttered shut.

"Sango! Miroku! Get in here! Some-"

"Miss Kagome, what is the problem?" Mirku walked onto the scene and took in Inuyashas pale appearance. Sango stepped next to him just as frantic.

"Kagome.. what happened to him?"

"I dont know. We were talking and he just collasped! I don't know- I dont know what to do!" Miroku kneeled down and and took in his condition.

"He's-he's been poisened. I've seen this before." Miroku took up a scalpel from his haori and made a 2 inch cut in Inuyasha's arm. Slowly a blue liquid dripped from the cut.

"Mirokkuuu. Why is it blue?"

"Blueontide Poison. It drains the blood from his system and eventually leaves him..."

"How do we stop it?"

"Last time I had to trek to the top of Fuji mountain to get a the Habon flower."

"Did you make-" He shook his head slowly. "I'm sorry."

"Inuyasha is half demon. He has a better chance. I won't fail him."

"No. Miroku. I have to go. I run faster, now that I'm half demon. I should go get it."

"She's right Miroku. You need to stay here with me and Inuyasha just incase anything goes wrong."

"If she gets hurt, Inuyasha will never forgive me. But you all are right. Hurry Kagome. We don't have that much time." He picked up a stick anad began to draw simple directions in the sand. "Use your nose if anything. You should be able to smell the multan lava."

" Thankyou, Miroku. Take care of him please."

"Dont worry."

"I'll make it." She pickede up her yellow school bag and emptied out few of her contents. SHe slipped the bag ont oher shoulders and headed off in the direction that Miroku had instructed.

With kagome-

Damn this is a long walk, But I'm going t o run as faast as I can. I'd die first before i let Inuyasha die.

She walked into a clearing and a fork in the road. She went back to Miroku's directions to keep right and took the path farthest right. She continued to run until she felt dizzy and collasped on the floor in heavy breathes. She noticed how much faster it took her to regain her breath then when she was human. Making her like her new form even more. She took out a water bottle from her backback and drank it all in a few seconds. I can find anything... where is Mount Fuji. Where is it ? She took a second to walk in a circle looking each direction, hoping she'd get a sign of where she was suppose to be going.

"Hey Babe." She turned around to see a male figure coming out of the forest.

"Koaga! I need your help. I need to find Mount Fuji."

"Calm down Kagome. WHat's at Mount Fuji. Where's dog turd. I'm suprized he's not with you."

"That's why I need Mount Fuji! To help Inuyasha. Koaga can you help me? If you can't I have to keep going."

"Jump On, Kagome. I can help you." She hesitated for a second but got onto his back anyway. He took off making her a bit dizzy at the speed he was going. After a few moments she could smell the lava from Mount Fuji and a smile spead across her face. She was going to make it. He was going to make it!

"Hold on Inuyasha. I wont fail you." Koaga made a sudden stop but oi her surprize stayed afoot.

"It's up there Kagome. Be careful. But I really have to go. Please watch out for your self. I hope you make it in time."

"Thank you Koaga." SHe took him in for a big hug. "I really owe you one. Thank You so much."

"Anytime. See you later babe." He dissapeared in a whirl wind.

KAgome hiked up the volcano as fast as she could, slipping a few times and earning a few scratches. She climbed to the top and leaned over the edge. In the volcano twards the top of the volcano was the Habon flower. YES! She reached in to grab the flower and her arm fell short about 2 feet.

"Damn! Damn ! Damn! Damn!" She took hold of the edge of the rim with one hand and lowered her body into the hot dangerous depths of Mount Fuji.She lowered her self enough the grab a few of the flowers and jumped out of there as fast as she could and headeed on her way back to Inuyasha and her friends.

Back At th e VIllage...

Kagome returned within th enext few days with the wilted flowers.

"IS he alright?"

"Yea. I'll give him the medicine."

A fe hours later he was up and backtalking just like he used to be.

"Kagome... Why do you smell like Koaga? He's been all over you!"

I think this I'll be my last Story on I';; finish this one and grow up.
