CHAPTER 11

"Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted. Kagome let go of Sango and Miroku's grip and began walking towards Inuyasha slowly. Instead of doing that, Kagome lost her balance and fell on the ground.

"Kagome." Sango called. "I am fine. Do not worry about me" Kagome grabbed onto a table for support as she tried to stand.

"Violence… will not… solve every…thing." Kagome explained, after getting a firm support from the table. Sango rushed to Kagome's side. Sango did not want to stand there doing nothing. "Thanks."

"I…" Inuyasha said.

"You are… cousins, who are related. Cousins… should not… fight. If… you… fight, both of you… will end up… hating each other… more deeply. Do not—" Kagome coughed more blood and fainted.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha and Sango shrieked. Sesshoumaru watched with no expression on his face. Inuyasha rushed to Sango and the unconscious Kagome. "Kagome. Kagome." Inuyasha shake her but there was no response from her.

"Sesshoumaru…" Inuyasha said. "How dare you do that to Kagome? I am going to get revenge."

"No, Inuyasha. Remember what Kagome said. Violence will not solve anything." Sango said, pulling Inuyasha; stopping him from fighting with Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha's eyes softened. "Yeah, you are right."

"All because of this woman, you had become a soft-hearted person." Sesshoumaru sighed.

"Remember what Kagome said. No violence between you and your cousin." Sango reminded him when she saw his expression turned into anger.

"I admitted… defeated." Inuyasha said reluctantly. He was the one who start the fight, and end up admitting defeated. However, Kagome's life is in danger and he cannot just ignore it.

"The winner is Sesshoumaru." Rin shouted with joy. Sesshoumaru walked out of the canteen. "Where are you going?"

"I need to clean my wound." Came the reply. "I'm going with you." Rin said.

"Let's bring Kagome back to the hospital," Inuyasha said and carried Kagome, with Sango and Miroku behind him.

So I see. You came to challenge Sesshoumaru just because of getting revenge for Kagome Kikyou thought. I will not allow you to get revenge. However, I will destroy your friendship, Inuyasha. Because of this friendship, you change a lot. Like what Sesshoumaru said, that poor woman is the reason you change. I will make her suffer. I just do not understand why you have to change your attitude.

"Doctor, how is her condition?"

"She had lost quite a lot of blood. Did she have any difficulties standing?"

"Yeah."

"That means she cannot move around yet. It would cause her wound to open and blood would start to flow."

"Now you are telling us…"

"She has to stay in the hospital for a period of time. The patient needs a lot of rest in order to recover quickly."

"About how long will she recover?"

"Maybe a few weeks or even a month. The infected injures will need to take some time to recover. So if you have anything happens, you may call me."

The doctor left the depressed friends alone in the corridor. Inuyasha sat on the chair. How come? How come this happens to Kagome, why is it not me? Why?

"It is all because of you. You want to get revenge. If you haven't, Kagome will not be in this state." Sango cried, grabbing Inuyasha's shirt. "Why did you do such a thing?"

"Calm down, Sango. He did not really mean it." Miroku put a hand on her shoulder. He did not want to put it on her butt, as that would make his Sango angrier.

"I want to see her." Inuyasha pushed the door and walked into Kagome's ward. "I will always be with her forever. It's my fault that I cause her to be like that." Miroku and Sango looked at him. Inuyasha sat down beside Kagome as Miroku and Sango stood behind him. A tear dropped from his eyes and landed on Kagome's hand.

"Inuyasha… I'm terribly sorry of what I had said just now." Sango apologised. "Please forgive me." Inuyasha did not reply; he was looking at the sleeping Kagome. You came to school despite how severe your injures were. Why must you come? I had a fight with Sesshoumaru because he hit you. I will not do that again so please recover quickly. Another tear dropped. Sango cried and Miroku comforted her.

Kagome, what will I do if you do not recover?

Sesshoumaru cleaned her wound while Rin waited for him to come out from the washroom. When he finished doing that, Rin applied ointment for him.

"Sesshoumaru, are you all right?"

Sesshoumaru looked up and was astonished to see Kikyou. "Didn't you see I'm perfectly fine?"

"Yeah, as if." Rin hit the injured part and Sesshoumaru felt a shot of pain. Sesshoumaru gave an angry expression to his younger cousin.

"Why are you here?"

"My target will not be Inuyasha. It's that fellow. I want her life. She is the one who causes Inuyasha to change. I just do not understand why she has to change Inuyasha."

"I will grant your wish."

"No. I will do this by myself. I am going to take away her life in the hospital with my own hands. I want to see that girl's expression when she is going to die." The two friends smiled wickedly.

End of Chapter

I had been thinking about why Kikyou wanted Sesshoumaru to hit Kagome. I finally knew why after writing this chapter. At first, Kikyou wish to know why Inuyasha changed so much. Sesshoumaru also wanted to know about it so he went to find out about it but he did not get what he wanted. Instead, he hit Kagome. After they thought Kagome was the reason why Inuyasha changed (actually, Kagome just tell Inuyasha to trust her since he had been so lonely), they decided to kill Kagome. Even I get confuse sometimes! Just remember to review, review, review about this chapter although it is a little short.
