Chapter 16. Trouble at the Bridge:
Once Kagome reached the bottom of the stairs, there was Ron, Harry and Hermione all changed and ready to go and eat breakfast. They greeted her and walked out of the common room.
The frosty air prickled their skin as they exited out of the room. Remembering their jackets, they quickly ran back inside to gather their needed items. The boy grabbed their jackets and hats as the girls gathered their jackets, scarves and hats. Quickly, they put them on and ran to the Great Hall.
There, the warm atmosphere greeted them and the soft smells of the delicious food took over. Finally taking their places, they began to eat their meal in silence. Amazingly Harry wasn't at all that hungry, even though he swore he could hear the food say, "EAT ME HARRY! EAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT MEEEEEEEEEEEEE! (scary food O.o)"
"Not that hungry, so I'll see you guys later," he said staring at the food as he did so. He then stood up, turned his back to them and walked out of the Great Hall hoping to escape the strange voices of the food.
Kagome then suddenly sped up her eating pace and gobbled up about three pieces of bacon, a piece of toast, and a small bowl of oatmeal. Slamming the bowl down she cried out, "DONE!"
She stood up and as she did everyone at the table stared at her. Ginny then asked, "Why'd you finish so quickly?"
"Oh! Uhh…I-I have to go…and….feed…my…cat!" she answered uncertainly. Taking one good glance at them she said, "Bye!"
In a blink of an eye she was gone as the oak doors swung back and forth. "What's her problem?" Ron asked looking after her.
"I'm…not sure," Hermione answered with a raised eyebrow.
"Does she even have a cat?" Ron asked.
"I don't think she even has a pet," Ginny replied.
-----With Kagome-----
Kagome was outside, looking frantically around for the bridge. It was really foggy for some apparent reason, but who cares?
Finally, she saw an outline of the entrance to the bridge. Smiling at her small accomplishment, she quickly ran a bit further and found out that it really was an entrance…and entrance to a humongous bridge.
She cautiously walked onto the bridge to see if it was stable (well durr! Its stone!). It was. She then quickened her pace until she found out that she was right in the middle of the bridge. Waiting for Harry's arrival, she leaned over the railing to look into the water.
Her eyes went wide at how far the river was down below. Between the bridge and the river wree jagged cliffs, and rocks hanging out of the sides, and worst of all, it was terribly foggy ( i would never want to go there O.O).
With shaking knees she bent down holding tightly onto the bridge's ledge as painful memories came into her mind. That is, until she felt another presence near her. She slowly stood up and looked at her surroundings seeing that it was still too foggy to see anything at all.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" Kagome asked. She swore at the corner of her eye that she saw a black blur move.
"Hello? Is it you Harry!" she asked again becoming frightened. Then a soft chuckle was heard.
"Hellllo? Hellllo? Is anyone there? Is it you Harry? Heh…my my…you seem frightened Kagome…" a voice taunted.
"Who the hell are you!" she demanded trying to catch the one who was talking.
"What rude manners…you still don't remember me Kagome?" it replied.
"If you tell me who you are, then maybe I would…" Kagome responded slowly reaching for her wand.
"I don't think that would be a good idea…" it said. "Also for forgetting me, I'll have to punish you for that…"
As fast as she could touch the tip of her wand, the figure yelled out, "Incendio!"
A shot of red fire came towards flying her chest. Trying to get out of the way, she was able to dodge is but not well enough. The spell was able to hit her left shoulder but the rest blasted into the railing for the bridge.
The impact of the spell caused Kagome's clothes to rip at her shoulder and her to be pushed backwards toward where the railing was hit. She screamed as she fell off the bridge, but on the way her scarf released itself from her neck and as it settled down, a piece of rock landed on it, fastening it securely (how convenient :D).
With her quick thinking, Kagome grabbed onto the other end of her scarf with her right hand. She bounced up and down a bit, but soon settled down. The strong wind blew her hat off of her head. She slowly looked down to see it falling down, down into the never-ending pit of doom (lolz cool name huh?)
She tried to raise her left arm, but the pain from her shoulder was too painful so she let it stay there to her side limp. She clenched her teeth in pain. A figure emerged from the mist on the bridge and now stood in front of Kagome.
Kagome shot her head up to see a cloaked figure now standing before her. She squinted her eyes to see who it was, but the face was covered by the hood. Slowly the figure squat down to her eye level and yet she still couldn't see his face.
The figure then raised his wand and placed the tip right in the middle of her forehead. Kagome just looked up to the figure with a straight face, which was pretty hard to do at the moment.
"Hm…you know Higurashi…you're pretty cute when your on the brink of death," the figure commented.
"S-SHUT UP!" she shouted her cheeks becoming even more pink.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk…it's always a sad time when a cute girl like you is about to die in a slow and painful way."
"What?" she demanded.
"Oh well…it was nice knowing you." He pressed the wand harder into her forehead. "Crucio."
Kagome suddenly screamed out in pain. Bad memories that she tried so hard to erase came back to her mind and there was internal pain all over her body. The figure smirked as he pressed the wander even harder which caused Kagome to scream out even louder.
-----With Harry-----
Harry was walking through the snow and stopped as he saw footsteps going toward some place. He followed them out of curiosity until the path stopped at the entrance of the bridge. He then heard a girl's voice echo through the bridge. He immediately knew who it was. It was Kagome (dur)! But what was she doing outside and not in the Great Hall?
"Hello? Is anyone there?" she asked. He smiled to himself hoping to surprise her by responding until she asked in a more frantic voice, "Hello? Is it you Harry!"
He was just about to respond to her question until he heard a chuckle. Another voice replied by saying, "Helllo? Helllo? Is anyone there? Is it you Harry? Heh…my my…you seem frightened Kagome…"
Who the hell are you!" she demanded.
"What rude manners…you still don't remember me Kagome?" it replied.
"If you tell me who you are, then maybe I would…" she responded.
"I don't think that would be a good idea…" it said.
'Kagome's probably reaching for her wand,' Harry thought still quiet (good job! You get a cookie!).
"For forgetting me, I'll have to punish you for that…" it added. "Incendino!" After that Harry could only hear something break, crash and collapse. Harry's hear sank. What if something happened to Kagome?
He wasn't taking any chances. He ran as fast as his legs could carry him onto the bridge searching desperately for any sign of something that was out of the ordinary or Kagome. The fog seemed to be getting thicker while a growl escaped his throat. 'Where the hell was she?'
He ran a bit further until he had to take a quick breath. Curs his not-muscular-enough body! 'Damn…I need to exercise more often.'
"S-SHUT UP!" he could hear Kagome demand.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk…it's always a sad time when a cute girl like you is about to die in a slow and painful way."
"What?" she demanded.
"What!" Harry yelled.
"Oh well…it was nice knowing you."
'What the hell does that mean?' that is until he heard a dreaded curse escape the mouth of the villain. "Crucio."
Kagome's screams of pain echoed through the emptiness of the bridge (oooohhh…pretty words :D). Harry's heart sank and he cried out, "KAGOME!"
This time, he ignored the burning feeling in his side, the hard pumping in his chest and focused on one main thing. To make sure that Kagome was unharmed and in his arms, safe and sound.
The villain just happened to notice the cry of Kagome's name from Harry and knew that they weren't alone anymore. Scowling he raised the wand off of her forehead and growling said, "Finite Incantatem." (sp?)
This caused Kagome's screams to decease and she was now barely hanging onto the scar breathing heavily, in and out, in and out. She was drenched in her own sweat, and the internal and mental pain wouldn't subside. Wincing she looked up to see the figure stand up and look to his right. Then she heard it too. Footsteps…and they were coming fast.
Suddenly the figure than apparated, leaving a cloud of smoke behind. Just then Harry arrived with his wand in hand. He frantically looked around and soon his eyes came upon Kagome. Well of course, he was surprised to see her hanging from a piece of scarf that was starting to rip at the sides and over the bridge edge too.
"Harry?" Kagome asked in raspy voice. "W-what are you doing here?" Harry didn't respond. He was too busy staring at one of the must biggest gash he had ever seen on Kagome's shoulder.
While Harry was busy staring, Kagome's face was turning pale probably from the loss of blood from her gash. Before she had a chance to do anything, he fell unconscious and her grip started to weaken.
"Harry…" she whispered. Finally, her hand let go of the scarf and she was now falling toward her doom. Harry was now catching on what was happening at the moment and yelled out, "KAGOME!"
He rushed forward and was amazingly able to grab Kagome's hand before it was out of reach. Kagome just hung there as limp as a rag doll having no clue on what was going on around her.
"Kagome you okay?" Harry demanded. She didn't respond.
"Kagome!" Still no response.
"Damn…" he breathed (he's saying that a lot :P). Harry carefully, but quickly, lifted Kagome out of the air and made sure that she was now securely on the bridge and had no chance of falling off again.
Harry was breathing heavily from the task and plus the run he just made. Throughout the whole time Harry was trying to catch his breath Kagome wasn't heavy or anything, it was just that he was never good at running (chyeah rite…:P). Although he didn't notice it, Harry was supporting himself up with his arms with his legs spread out and Kagome was sitting between his legs and was now leaning against his chest.
Having a bit more breath (sp?) Harry asked, "You alright Kagome?"
Kagome still didn't answer to his question for the umpteenth time, and she probably wouldn't for a couple of more times. Harry quickly changed his position seeing on what people would think if they saw and took a long inspection on Kagome's physical appearance.
Her face was pale white, paler than the snow. She was drenched in her own sweat and her face was contorted in pain. One more thing to add to that, she now had a huge gash on her left shoulder that was bleeding heavily. He had to stop the bleeding or else Kagome would have lost too much blood and died.
Without much to think about, Harry used his teeth and ripped off a strip of clothing from his clothes and tightly wrapped it around her wound. It wasn't much, but it should help slow the bleeding down a bit. Then he quickly stood up and held Kagome in his arms, bridal style, and could clearly see that she was in a mixture of physical and mental pain.
Slowly he started off in a job to make sure that he wouldn't cause her even more pain when she already had enough to deal with. In a matter of minutes, he arrived once more at the entrance and was now walking through the snow.
He kept on moving, until he felt a slight shift in his arms. He looked down to see that Kagome seemed to be waking up. Then her eyes began to flutter open to meet Harry's eyes.
"Harry? Where am I?" she asked innocently.
"Kagome!" he called out in relief. He slowly let her down and gave her one of the best hugs he could ever muster up. He quickly let go of her and said, "Don't you dare scare me like that!"
"Harry? What are you doing here though! Wha-?" Kagome asked, but he was broken of when Harry pressed his lips against hers giving her a light kiss. Kagome just froze up, staring at him in response.
"H-harry?" she asked once more. Finally noticing what he did, he blushed a dark crimson red.
"S-sorry," he stammered. He and Kagome stood there while Harry was busy scratching his head and Kagome was staring into space dazed. It was a very, very, very uncomfortable silence and time for both of them at the moment.
"C-c'mon, we should go and get your wounds checked on." he told her. Kagome simply nodded but when she noticed the cloth around her gash she asked, "Did you do this?"
Harry took a quick glance and responded, "Yeah…I had to stop the bleeding somehow."
"Oh…thanks," she said shyly.
"No problem." They stood there trying not to make eye contact with each other until Kagome said, "Well we better head back to the school."
"Yeah…" he agreed. He badly wanted to ask Kagome why she was out here in the first place and why she was hanging off of a broken piece of the bridge. But he thought he could wait to question her until tomorrow.
Oh the way walking back, he noticed that Kagome was a bit wobbly and looked as if she was going to puke at any given moment.
"What's wrong?" Harry asked. Kagome simply replied, "Harry?"
"Yeah?"
"Catch me…" Kagome then started to fall. Harry watched her for a second seeing everything slower than it should be (god he's weird). Then he yelled, "Kagome!"
He ran forward and was able to have Kagome land safely in his arms. He looked at her shoulder to see that the blood was seeping through the cloth he put and the drops falling into the ground. "Damn…"
"HARRY!" a voice yelled. He turned his head to see Ron and Hermione running up to him waving their hands. There was Hermione, in her thick scarf and her cheeks tinted in pink. And then there was Ron with his hat on and his ears pink.
"Harry, we looked for you everywhere! Where's K-?" Ron began but once he caught sight of Kagome and the bloody cloth, the color disappeared from his face as his skin became pale. His eyes darted from the injured Kagome, to Harry and back to Kagome again. Soon Hermione appeared beside him
"Hi Harry! Where were you? Ron and I were looking everywhere for-." Hermione started but stopped with the same expression as Ron.
"Oh my god…" she whispered and she dropped to her knees grabbing Kagome's body close to hers (its called a hug -.-). She could faintly hear the breathing from Kagome as if she was gasping for air.
"H-hermione…" she whispered. "Can't breathe."
"KAGOME! YOU'RE ALIVE!" she exclaimed hugging her even tighter. With the last of her strength, Kagome tried prying Hermione's arms of her neck.
Seeing the troubled situation, Ron began to help and then Harry. For once, Hermione seemed to be far stronger than Harry, Ron and Kagome put together (so OC O.o). Finally getting the message she let Kagome go and gasped.
"OH! IM SO SORRY KAGOME!" Hermione screamed and then she was just about to hug Kagome again until Kagome had her hands out in front of her. Luckily Ron was able to save Kagome and held Hermione back.
"Stop it Hermione! You're going to kill her!" Ron demanded. Finally Hermione went back to her old serious, if not boring, self (awww…no more OC T-T).
She slowly calmed down with an apologetic look. She then turned her attention to Kagome who was leaning against Harry and barely awake.
Harry then took Kagome in his arms knowing that she barely had enough energy to walk back to school (amazing wat a loss of blood can do to you O.o). Taking a quick glance at Kagome, who now looked peaceful and couldn't but smile, he started off in a jog back go to school. Throughout the way he was careful not to bother Kagome too much with her arm. Hermione and Ron then began to run after them in the same speed.
The whole 'journey' was easy thanks to Kagome's lightness. But on the way, there were many people who wouldn't just get out of the way, so Harry had to push them to the side. Some of them looked after him as if he was crazy and since their minds reacted so slowly (those idiots), they couldn't notice the critical condition of Kagome.
Their run came to a stop as they came unto Professor Mcgonagall's classroom. Harry gave a swift kick and the door flew open. There was Mcgonagall at her desk with a pen (the feather type) in hand, looking at them through her glasses.
"Mr. Potter! What in the names are you doing!" she yelled out. She searched their physical appearance for answers. All of them were breathing heavily and drenched in sweat, but then her eyes landed upon Kagome. Her face turned a ghostly white as she saw the cloth that was now drenched in blood.
"What happened?" she asked.
"I'll explain later Professor!" Harry demanded. "Just help me take Kagome to the hospital wing!"
"Alright…follow me!" she commanded raising her voice. She didn't need to see anything else. Then she ran out of the room to the hospital wing. Without another second, he ran after her hoping that they would make it there in time.
"Don't worry Kagome…everything is going to be okay." he whispered glancing down at Kagome. "I'll make sure of it."
