Disclaimer: Yep, once again I don't under any natural law of physics own Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome to the fallen hanyou nearly in tears. She placed her hand gentle on his back but he still flinched. "Sorry!"

"It's okay. Does he have any jewel shards?" Inuyasha asked his voice full off pain as he struggled to sit up.

Kagome shook her head as she supported the injured hanyou.

"Then take him down." He replied before passing out.

Kagome grabbed her bow and strung the arrow. She aimed for the demons heart and released the arrow with a satisfying twang. The familiar pink light surrounded the arrow and killed the demon on contact.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Ashanta POV

After Inuyasha finally regained consciousness he still couldn't walk. But that stubborn punk wouldn't rest. He insisted he was fine but then he toke two steps and collapsed.

With more arguing and Kagome yelling 'sit' a few times, (it seemed that word made him fall to the ground. But it was horrible painful for him due to his bad back.) He finally agreed he would sit on Kirara's (the giant cat) back.

Kagome told the whole group to leave me alone until she said they could ask questions.

Actually it was kind of funny. Weak, little Kagome seemed to have a bit of an air of confidence that she never had before. And the way these people listened and respected her, it was- it was amazing. And it wasn't just this small group of misfits, it was that whole village. They slightly bowed there heads, like she was this mighty person who-who, I don't know how to explain it.

Finally the group stopped at a small clearing by a large tree. A strange tree at that, bark was missing at the very center like that spot had been deprived of sunlight for years. Ad in the center of the bark-less spot was a tiny hole like someone had thrust a dagger into the center. Stranger still both Kagome and Inuyasha got this strange look in there eyes.

Creepy. That's what this whole place is. Just plane creepy.

All I want to do is go home and forget about this whole mess. But that is completely impossible. I'm not wanted at home. Sure I got Kagome's mom now, but that not my home and she's not my mom. I could go back to my old home, but my old lady doesn't like me, never did. Besides my old neighborhood has it out for me, every single one of them, even old lady Jenna. (You trample over her flowers one time…) No I want to go back to my real home, where I was born. But like I said impossible.

Kagome threw me a blanket and that stupid trench coat. She told me to use the coat as a pillow. I hadn't been feeling tired but the moment my head touched the ground I feel asleep.

Inuyasha POV

I watched the group sleep. I twitched in pain as I shifted my position. Damn demon! I f I could I'd kill him again…

I eyed Ashanta wearily. I still don't trust her, but if Kagome dose, well I guess I have no choice, unless I want a mouth full of dirt again, and again, and again. I closed me eyes and tried to fall asleep

"Inuyasha?" a timid voice asked. I opened one eye to see Kagome kneeling before me. "How's your back feeling?"

"It's fine. I'm not as weak as you humans. I can handle pain." I responded gruffly. Instantly wishing I hadn't said a word.

"Don't kid yourself. Here this should help a bit. Or it should, it might not work with you." She handed me a stone cup containing a brownish liquid that smelled of lavender and roses.

"What do you mean it might not work?" I asked as I toke the cup. "Because I'm a hanyou?"

"No, it's just, umm, it doesn't always work." She replied flustered.

I sipped the liquid and nearly spat it back out. "What the hell?"

"Yeah it smells good but tastes horrible. But it dose wonders."

"If you say so," I chocked down the horrible liquid. By the time the drink was gone I felt like up-chucking., and if anything my back felt worse.

"Didn't work huh?"

I shock my head.

"Then come with me. This time I promise your back will feel better." I followed her threw the forest for at least twenty minutes. Finally we stopped in a clearing. "Take of your haori (sp?) and lie down."

"What!"

"Just trust me."

I was confused by her actions but obeyed none the less. Suddenly her small hands started massaging my back. Her hands ran up and down my back she applied presser in just the right spots. "Now relax your too tense. It won't work unless you're completely relaxed."

Damn Wench. How can I relax when you've got your hands all over me! Why do you have to be so damn beautiful? Hold on where'd that last thought come from? My head was spinning from what was going through my mind. But I let it go and focused on relaxing each and every muscle.

"Now this is gonna hurt a little." Her hands stopped exactly where the demon hit me. Suddenly the spot grew worm and my muscles tuned to mush. Her tiny hands pressed down, hard.

"Oi, wench. What the hell!"

"Quite your gripping," She snapped at me "Here let me help you up." I grabbed her extended hand. "Now that your standing, how do you feel?"

I rolled my shoulders, surprised that I felt no pain. "Pretty good."

She smiled satisfied, that wonderful little smile of hers. "Come on, we better head back." she tried to drop my hand but I refused to let go. She blushed a bit and we started to walk back in silence.

Ummmm, yeah. I'm sooooooooooo sorry! Stupid school loaded me down with homework. Then my little sister stole my notebook because she got mad at me for some stupid reason. By the time she gave it back the MCAs were coming up and they were loading down the homework and oooooooo the stress. Finally those test were over and then the MAP tests came and more homework and stress. Finally school got out and my stupid computer crashed again. When that was working I lost the notebook. But I found it. But everything I had written was total crap so I had to rewrite it.

Inuyasha: Puny human I could have handled it all and updated my stories.

Kayda: Yeah right you cant even count past 5.

Inuyasha: Wanna bet?

Kayda: Yeah. This should be funny.

Inuyasha: 1, 2, um cookie

Kayda: anyways, go ahead and flame me if you want. I mean its been like 7 months. But it wont happen again. Alex you make sure of that okay. R&R byes
