I do not own the characters of Inuyasha.
There are worse games to play Chapter 15: Healing up.
"NO! PLEASE STOP! Lord Inuyasha! Help me!"
Inuyasha was checking on Miroku when he heard Moriko cry out. It didn't help that he had lost the brat. Where the hell did he go?
By this point Shippo and his father were down in the village.
It was just him, Sango, and Kilala here for Miroku and Moriko.
Sango walked in.
"She's yelling for you to help her in her nightmare. I can't wake her." Sango said.
Inuyasha stood and walked out. "Watch Miroku."
Inuyasha walked in the room Moriko was in.
He leaned down to lightly shake Moriko awake.
He was careful of her injuries.
"No! Let me go! Lord Inuyasha help me!"
"It's me Moriko! I'm here." He yelled.
She was thrashing on the ground.
He leaned down and gently brought her into a hug.
She was still crying.
"Shhh. I'm here. Your safe."
Moriko leaned forward to sob into Inuyasha's chest.
"No. Ple-ase stop." She said in a normal voice.
At this point Inuyasha hugged her as he rubbed her back.
Moriko grabbed the fabric of Inuyasha's clothes.
"Wake up. It's okay. It's me. Inuyasha."
Moriko lightly opened her eyes as she was panting.
Naraku must have really messed with her when he stabbed her during the fight to escape.
"It was... A dream?" Moriko asked hoarsely.
Inuyasha nodded.
"I promise you right now. I won't let Naraku hurt you again. I swear." He said.
"I'm Sorry if I bothered you. I didn't mean to."
Inuyasha glared.
"Stop apologizing. You had a nightmare. I'm here for you and I'm not going anywhere." He said.
Moriko nodded as Inuyasha helped lay her back.
"Another thing," Inuyasha said.
Moriko looked at him. Waiting for what he had to say.
She lightly blushed until she heard him speak.
"Stop calling me Lord. How many times do I have to tell you that?" He asked with an eye roll.
Moriko lightly smiled.
"Until the day I die."
Inuyasha blushed majorly at her words.
Inuyasha smiled lightly down at her.
"Your hopeless."
Shortly after they brought Katsuo in, Kagome didn't leave his side.
Miroku was asleep next to them.
No one else was in the room.
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were in the next room checking on Moriko.
Sang, Kilala, and Rin was in the room with Moriko.
Souta went to find the foxes.
Kagome would deal With Inuyasha later.
She was more worried for Katsuo.
Kagome leaned down and cupped Katsuo's right cheek.
She felt tears weiling up in her eyes.
She pulled her hand back.
"I don't know if you can hear me. But I wanted to apologize. If it wasn't for me, then you wouldn't be in this position. I was reckless and it costed you. It's my turn to ask for your forgiveness. Even though I don't deserve it." Kagome said to him even though he was still unconscious.
A moment later she heard the door slide open and someone step in.
She blinked her tears away.
"Kagome," She heard her name.
She turned to face Sesshomaru.
She was shocked he called her by name.
"Come, you need to work on your wounds. There is a stream just outside of the village. You do not want them to become infected. The slayer gave me some herbs to give to you." He said.
Kagome looked back to Katsuo then back to Sesshomaru. The guilt was unnerving.
"Look at him. If he saw how you were right now what do you think his reaction would be?" He asked.
Kagome looked down.
"I feel so guilty. If I had not turned around, he wouldn't be like this. But I do know he'd probably be worried." Kagome said.
Sesshomaru nodded.
"There's only one answer to this." He stated.
She looked at him, listening.
"Do me a favor, look at how he is now. Burn that imagine in your head." He paused as he looked at Katsuo and back to Kagome.
"From now on, train. Remember what happened when you didn't make sure your opponent was dead. Learn from it. So you don't ever make the same mistake again." He said.
Kagome nodded as she looked him in the eyes.
Kagome looked back at Katsuo. Doing as Lord Sesshomaru had said.
"Let him rest. You need to worry about yourself as well." He said.
Kagome nodded as she stood and followed him out.
He handed her the herbs as he lead the way out of the Inn.
Sesshomaru and Kagome walked to the stream just outside of the village.
Kagome carried the herbs.
"You almost seemed to lose yourself during that battle. As I have told you many times before. Do not let your emotions lead your way in a battle."
Sesshomaru paused as he eyed Kagome who slightly looked down in shame.
"I want to make one thing clear." He stated.
Kagome let out a sigh expecting to get fussed at again.
She looked at Sesshomaru who had continued walking beside her.
"I am not only here for the West, Souta, and the Kinzoku clan." He stated with a smirk as he looked at her.
She stopped walking as he continued. She lightly gasped.
She took it as Sesshomaru had ment it.
He was also here for her.
Once Kagome had cleaned and wrapped her wounds Sesshomaru had warned her to be careful of the one on her shoulder.
She didn't need it to reopen.
But once Inuyasha came into view, she completely ignored his warning.
Inuyasha stood down the path next to the Inn.
He was yelling at Souta.
"Kagome told you to stay here. You ran off. Katsuo was hurt. Listen to what we say from now on." Inuyasha said.
He didn't even sense Kagome behind him when she approached with Sesshomaru.
Souta was admittingly scared of the look on Kagome's face as he took a step back.
"What?" Inuyasha asked as he turned around.
"Uhh.." Inuyasha said nervously.
"I asked one thing of you. Though we both were at fault I realize that I wasn't clear enough." She said as she gripped his ear and drug him out of the village into a clearing.
Inuyasha cursed her the whole way.
Sesshomaru and Souta followed them the whole way.
Honestly, Sesshomaru was enjoying this more than he should've.
The look of Inuyasha being drug by his ear was priceless.
A/N: I'm on a roll! Hope you enjoyed so far!
