Chapter Eight- Separation and Stronger Love?
Last time: Miroku got unconscious, because he sucked up poison insects, Kagome was unconscious too because Naraku injected something into her. Inuyasha Kagome Miroku Sango Shippo and Kirara SEPERATED ( left right ) –phew-
-Inuyasha Kagome and Shippo-
Kagome was breathing heavily. She was in a sitting position. Her back laid against a base of a tree. She looked as if she was suffering. Inuyasha couldn't stand seeing her like this. He began to pace back and forth. Shippo was crying his eyes out. " Inuyasha! She cant die! SHE CAN'T SHE JUST CAN'T!" Shippo began to cry more. "Shut up!" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome groaned. "Inu…Inuyasha…" Kagome whispered. Her eyes were still shut. "Kagome/ mommy!" Inuyasha and Shippo said. Kagome began to breath heavily again. Beads of sweat were rolling down from her forehead. " Inuyasha…-pant- Shippo… you're both -pant- ok… where's Sango and Miroku?" She asked. Even thought she had her eyes closed, she could still sense auras. She hadn't sensed Sango and Miroku's auras nor smelled their scent. Before anyone could answer, Inuyasha got down to his knees and hugged Kagome. Kagome opened her eyes slowly,and smiled as she began to slowly hug back. Inuyasha pulled away. Inuyasha gave her a concerned look. One that looked unsure. Even though Inuyasha wouldn't admit it, he WOULD'VE said, Kagome I was so worried about you. I was beginning to believe that brat that you were….you were… going to die… -that's what he would've said- It was Shippo's turn.He immediately jumped into Kagome's arms. The force caused both of them to fall back on the tree's base. " Mommy!" Shippo cried out. "Shhh its ok Shippo. I'm here." Kagome said while trying to sooth Shippo down by gently stroking his hair. "We got separated." Inuyasha said softly. "They're not even in hearing or smelling range." "oh… I hope they're alright." Kagome said with some concern in her voice and her facual expression. I can't believe how far we got separated. Kagome thought.
-Miroku Sango and Kirara-
Miroku was resting on Sango's lap. Miroku looked like he was suffering as well. Sango began to cry. A few tears rolled down her cheeks. She began to stroke Miroku's face and hair gently. Kirara was back to her kitten form, sitting next to Sango. Her right ankle was injured from rocks that fell when the cliff cracked. Miroku slowly woke up. He opened his eyes very slowly, trying to focus on where he was. He looked up to see a very concerned and tearful Sango. "Miroku!" Sango said. Miroku slowly got up from Sango's lap. Sango immediately hugged Miroku. "Miroku you stupid monk! You know how worried I was! I thought… I thought…" Sango tried to continue, though difficult because she was crying too much. Miroku hugged her back, more tightly. "Sango… I'm here. See I'm still alive." Miroku reassured. Sango nuzzeled into Miroku's chest more while crying. She began to sniffle. As they pulled away, they're faces were beginning to get closer and closer. JUST AS THEY WERE ABOUT TO KISS, Miroku felt sudden pain again. Miroku was feeling dizzy from still having poison go through his veins. He felt a lot of pain coming from his wind tunnel hand. Miroku winced just looking at it. "Miroku!" A concerned Sango shouted. " Do not worry... my dear Sango… I'll be alright… I promise…" Miroku said giving her a weak smile. He then became unconscious again. "Miroku!" Sango yelled again. No response. Though Miroku was breathing, more like panting. "Please Miroku… don't leave me… you promised you'll be alright…" Sango said while putting her hands close to her face while crying. She then hugged her knees and began to sob.
-Inu/Kag/Shippo-
Kagome wasn't doing so good neither. She put Shippo away from her so as to not disturb his sleep. She then rested her back against the tree. She closed her eyes as she was trying to rest. It was getting harder and harder for her to breathe. Inuyasha looked concerned. He couldn't take it anymore. He had to get away. He had to get away…he couldn't stand seeing her in this much pain. Just then he remembered something.
Flashback"Mom where are you?" A very young Inuyasha shouted. He was searching for his mother. "Inuyasha, dear I'm right here." His mom responded. Inuyasha followed to where he heard her voice. He saw her mother and some herbs in front of her. "Mom what are you doing?" He asked. "I'm just picking some of these herbs, want to help me?" his mother asked. Inuyasha smiled and nodded. He bent down next to his mother and began carefully picking the herbs. They smell so strong. Inuyasha said as he wrinkled up his nose. His mother laughed softly when she saw how Inuyasha reacted when he got up close to the herbs. Inuyasha examined the herbs very closely. The herbs where dark green almost dark blue color. They had spiky edges on the leaf, not harmful to cut, more like soft edges. It had a strange tiny pink dot at the center. " The herb you're holding, Inuyasha, is used to temporally make the person your giving it to, fall into peaceful sleep and makes any pain go away." Inuyasha's mother said.
End flashback"Kagome, you and Shippo stay here. I'm going to go get something." Inuyasha said, while waiting for a response. "Kagome..? Kagome?"
He turned around to see Kagome still where she was, her eyes closed and still having trouble breathing. "Inuyasha I'm still here. It may seem like I'm unconscious, don't worry. My body is trying to fight off the toxin Naraku injected in me." Kagome said weakly. Inuyasha's eyes softened and he just nodded. He ran off into the forest searching for the herb.
-Mir/San/Kirara-
Sango decided, enough was enough. She got up to her feet. As you may know, Sango is a very skilled and experienced demon slayer. So she should know many medical herbs incase of injuries. Using her knowledge, she remembered a certain herb that cured demon insect poison and any other toxins. Not the one Inuyasha's getting. The one Sango is getting is an herb that cures demon insect poison & toxin. Sango left Miroku laying against Kirara's big form. Sango told Kirara to stay there and protect Miroku while she was gone. She too was searching for her herb. She had found them after searching for almost half an hour. She headed towards a river stream. She took out a medium sized rock out of the stream. She put the rock down to grab her Hiraikotsu. She put two hands on the rock and threw it in the air as high as she could. She quickly grabbed her hiraikotsu and once the rock was in the same level as her hiraikotsu, she sliced the rock in half. The now, two rocks, landed on the ground. Sango got one of the half rocks and made a dent with her hiraikotsu. She grabbed the rock with a dent. It looked a like an uneven bowl, not a perfect bowl, but still a bowl. She grabbed a nearby twig. Of course she cleaned the twig in the river. She took out the herbs, put them into the bowl and began crushing the herbs with the twig. The herbs were now all wrinkly and the juice came out. She was thanking god when she found that she had an empty canteen. She put the herbs along with the juices in the canteen. They slid to the bottom. She walked back to the river and filled up the canteen with water. She closed the lid and waited for the herbs to give out more juice into the water. She was sitting on a big boulder and the canteen was next to her. Thank god that I learned about so many medical herbs. Sango thought.I just hope that Miroku will be alright after he drinks this. Sango thought. 8 minutes has passed. She got off the boulder and took the canteen with her. After a good quick shake, she opened the lid and carefully picked out the remaining herbs out that had floated to the top. She closed the lid and began to walk back to where Miroku and Kirara was. When she got there, they were still there unharmed. Sango sighed in relief. She went towards Miroku and Kirara. Kirara moved so that Sango could take her place. She lifted Mirkou up gently. She put one hand on his back and the other on his hand squeezing it to make sure he knew she was there. "Miroku. I need you to drink this." Sango said as she carefully put his back against a tree. She opened the canteen. Miroku was slowly opening his mouth to await what he was going to drink. Although his eyes were closed, he was still half awake. Sango put the canteen to his lips and carefully and slowly, lifted the canteen so that the liquid could flow into his mouth and down his throat. Miroku slowly drank it. The first sip, he wrinkled up his nose and looked as if he was disgusted by the taste. He still managed to drink it all up. Sango closed the canteen and put it aside. Miroku was now asleep. I just hope you'll be ok by tomorrow, Mirkou… Sango hoped. And she too drifted off to sleep.
-Inu/Kag/Shippo-
Inuyasha was still having trouble finding his herbs. He was trying to remember the smell that the herbs gave off. After an hour of searching, he finally found them behind a bush. He quickly took them. He had found a small lake. He took out two rocks from the lake. One that was big and the other that was small. He placed the big rock on the ground. He put the herbs on it. He grabbed the smaller rock and began crushing the herbs. He remembered putting a bottle of water in his fire rat robe. The water in the bottle was half full. He took it out and yea yea put the crushed herbs inside and shook it until it had a green color. It unusually turned slight pink and then back to green. It was ok that the remaining herbs were in it. It was not dangerous to drink it. He got back to where Shippo and Kagome were. "Here drink this." Inuyasha said in more of a whisper. He threw the bottle gently on to Kagome's lap. Kagome was trying to reach for it but everytime she moved even in the slightest bit, she felt imence pain. Kagome winced, letting out a barely noticeable yelp. Inuyasha took the bottle and opened the lid. He put Kagome's chin up and put the tip of the bottle to her lips. And yea yea lifted the bottle and Kagome slowly drank it. Kagome WAS in pain, but felt relaxed a bit until, she fell asleep. She no longer looked like she was suffering. Inuyasha sighed in relief. Shippo sleep walked to where Kagome was and fell right back to sleep on her lap. Damn that Naraku. Inuyasha thought. His eyes softened when he stared at the sleeping Kagome. Inuyasha noticed the two marks on Kagome's ankle. Naraku just what are you planning? Inuyasha thought. He became slightly worried. He knew Naraku must of done this to Kagome purposely. For now he let the thought slide. He carefully picked up Kagome and Shippo, and jump on a tree branch. He laid his back against the tree while, putting Kagome against his chest. Shippo was still in Kagome's lap. Kagome hugged Shippo. Inuyasha carefully took off his fire rat and placed it on Kagome and Shippo. He wrapped his arms around Kagome, rested his chin on her head, and breathed in her scent. He didn't want to admit, but, he loved her scent. Now he loved it even more, now that she had demon scent mixed in with Kagome's scent. He slowly drifted into sleep himself.
Hm… I'm starting to rethink about the Stronger Love part of the title. Is it necessary? Well I guess there was some love in the story. Well till next time. Good bye
