Chapter Seven

R&Rs: I've had a lot of reviewers for this story and I'm sooo moved I want to cry! Thank you all! sniff. I always thought my stories were a bunch of crap! My mom would say stop that pen and get to your studying. I have a bunch of stories that are made with my own characters. I wish FanFiction would make a category where you can just write using whatever characters you wanted! But yeah, thanks for all the reviews you guys!

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. Just get that straight.

Inuyasha looked at Kagome, who still didn't want to look at him. Kagome could feel him looking at her. She wanted to scream for Inuyasha to not say it.

"If you don't say it, That girl might get seriously injured ya' know."

Inuyasha didn't want Kagome to get hurt, but he also didn't want to say he loved Kikyo. In the end, he chose the safer way.

"Kikyo...I-I still love you..."

Kikyo gave an evil smile and made the vines disappear. Kagome collapsed to her knees. Her eyes seemed blank as the tears spilled from them. Then she got up and started running. Inuyasha called after her, but Kikyo stopped him from doing anything further.

"Kikyo! What have you done!"

"Just a little of my...magic..."

Meanwhile, Kagome was running blindly through the trees. When she thought she had gone far enough, she stopped and crouched down.

Why do I feel like this? I feel hatred towards Kikyo and I don't know how I feel about Inuyasha right now. What do I do now? I wish I can just dig a hole and bury myself. Inuyasha...he saw the tears on my face...He probably knows how I feel about him now, and he probably doesn't feel the same way...I-I'm starting to feel cold...Kikyo's ice crystals are starting to take effect! Oh no! What do I do now! I can't call for Inuyasha, he's probably all over Kikyo right about now. Man...I can't feel my legs...my arms! They went numb! My chest is tightening from the cold...My heart is cold too...I can't see very clearly...I-Inuyasha...Kagome blacked out.

God dammit Kagome! Where'd you run off to this time! Don't you know how worried I am of you! Then he thought, No, she doesn't...

Inuyasha caught Kagome's caught Kagome's scent.

Ah! I smell her! He ran towards that direction. He burst through the bushes and shouted Kagome's name. But as soon as he saw her, he knew she didn't hear him.

Her body was in a small heap on the floor. Her skin was very pale, almost blue and she was unconscious.

Oh Kagome! What happened! He reached out to touch her face. It was ice cold! He tried to wake her up.

"Kagome! Kagome wake up! I'm here! Wake up Kagome!"

He saw she didn't have any reaction. So he decided to take her back to camp first. It was beginning to rain. He lifted her up as if she were his bride and carried her all the way back.

Sango and Miroku stood up and were shocked to see Kagome in that state. They fired questions at Inuyasha, but Inuyasha said he would tell them later after Kagome was warmed up. They agreed and Sango and Miroku decided that they would try to find some dry firewood. Inuyasha took Kagome into her tent and layed her down. He knew he couldn't leave Kagome in wet clothes, but he didn't want to strip Kagome down because he wasn't that kind of guy and she would beat the crap out of him later...If there was a later...

Just thinking that last part made him have enough courage to. He took off her wet clothes until he got to her under garments and found some spare clothes in her yellow backpack. He dressed her and covered her with blankets. Kagome was shivering.

At least it shows that she's alive. It was better than her not moving like earlier anyways.

Inuyasha couldn't stand seeing Kagome this way, so he lifted her onto his lap and wrapped his arms around her. Then he took the blankets andcovered them both with them. She seemed to be doing better.

Inuyasha was in pain, just looking at her in her current situation.

The rain stopped and Sango and Miroku came back with some firewood and lit it right outside the tent. They saw the expression on Inuyasha's face and they knew he was worried sick.

"It's alright man, it's Kagome we're talking 'bout here! She'll pull through", said Miroku as he tried comforting his friend.

"Yes! Kagome's a strong girl. She'll overcome it. But you need some rest...You seem tired. Look at Shippo and Kirara. They're fast asleep. You should be too. If it makes you feel better, I'll stay with Kagome. Well, of course I'll stay with Kagome, this is my tent too!"

"It's ok Sango. You and Miroku must be tired. If it's ok with Miroku, can you stay with him for the night? I just want to be near Kagome."

Miroku and Sango looked at each other.

"Sure, Sango can stay with me for the night (don't worry, Miroku isn't going to do anything weird with Sango since there's something bad going on)."

"You guys should rest now. Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

"...Ok, we'll go. Just don't worry too much 'kay?"

"Okay."

So Miroku and Sango stepped out of the tent and went to their's. Inuyasha was looking at Kagome when all of a sudden he smelled someone just outside the tent. There was also a shadow that was being cast of it from the fire!

"Kikyo..."

Phew! I finished it! Yaay! R&R plz! xoxo
