7 days
Day: 5
"Here we are, all comfy and warm now" said Kagome patting Inuyasha on the head like a mother
pats a child. Inuyasha scowled at her, he was wrapped up in Kagome's sleeping bag and blanket
rather tightly, which Kagome did on purpose to keep him from moving. He was all bandaged up
and was being pampered and taken great care of by Kagome and he was miserable. (A/N: man is
he dumb) Inuyasha hated people worrying over him and making him feel weak, but it was Kagome
so he made an exception.
"Kagome I'm fine really, I don't need all of this" said Inuyasha
"Yes you do, Inuyasha you passed out and almost died" replied Kagome with a hint of tears in her
voice.
"Yeah, keyword ALMOST, and look I am FINE"
"But you came close, too close Inuyasha. I thought I was gonna lose you, I…was…so…scared"
said Kagome between sobs.
"No Kagome don't… don't cry, stop crying, I'm not dead". Inuyasha hated when she cried it made
him feel so guilty, because almost always it was his fault.
"You almost DIED so lay there and stop arguing and let me take care of you!" said Kagome tears
gone in an instant replaced by anger.
Inuyasha being scared and knowing she was right laid down and glared at her.
"You can glare at me all you want mister, as long as you lay there and be a good boy" she said
smiling. Inuyasha let out a small growl at that he hated being treated like a dog but he knew Kagome
was teasing him so he ignored the comment. Inuyasha watched as Kagome gathered some fire
wood and started to make a fire in the middle of the clearing. They were in the forest in a bushy
clearing so they were not visible unless you were looking for them. Kagome thought it was the best
place to hide since Inuyasha needed rest and could not fight, much to Inuyasha's displeasure.
Kagome finished with the fire and took out some instant ramen from her bag for lunch and began to
boil some water. Inuyasha watched her get lunch ready and saw her sit down by the fire and stare
into in deep in thought. Normally Inuyasha wouldn't let anyone do this for him, but strangely enough
he was enjoying being taken care of by Kagome.
"Kami, she really is beautiful isn't she" he thought with a smile, recently Inuyasha had come to
accept these thought in his head and instead of berating himself as he normally did, he just started
accepting these thoughts and found he liked them.(A/N: I wonder what else his thoughts were
about, hehe pervert)
After lunch was made and eaten Kagome set about to clean the clearing so as not to attract demons
to there location and to clean Inuyasha wounds and change the bandages.
"Oh, no" said Kagome
"What's wrong Kagome" said Inuyasha trying to jump up to protect her, but was pushed back
down by a delicate hand.
"It's nothing Inuyasha I just need to go to the stream and get some more water" she said simply
gather the water skins she needed.
"Oh, no you don't your not going alone you could get attacked or killed" said Inuyasha trying once
again to get up, but was being held down by Kagome.
"I will be fine, it's only a short walk, your near by, I will scream it I need help ok?"
"Fine but be CAREFUL, if you're not back by night fall I am coming to get you got it"
Kagome nodded and grabbed her things and headed for the stream, what she didn't notice was
someone watching her walk off, then smirking. Inuyasha watched her until he could no longer see
her and continued until he could no longer smell her sweet sent of lilacs and jasmine that he loved so
much. Finally Inuyasha tore his eyes away and sat up to inspect his surroundings. He had to agree
this place was an excellent place to hide, plenty of tree and bush cover and places to hide if
attacked, he had to admit Kagome was right and it was beautiful place.
"Just like Kagome" he thought aloud.
He was laying on one of the sleeping bags Kagome had set up for him while hers was next to his
with her belongings next to it. He smiled again as he ran his hand over the fabric which still held the
faint traces of her smell. He looked up and the darkening night sky, he figured they had about an
hour left until night fall then he saw something skim across the sky. It looked like soul collector.
Wait.. a soul collector that can only mean one thing….
"Kikyou" he whispered.
"Yes Inuyasha I am here" replied Kikyou walking out from the tree she was hiding behind.
"Why couldn't I smell her before" thought Inuyasha. As if reading his mind she replied.
"You couldn't smell me because I hid my sent and aura so you and my re-incarnation would not
know I was here" she smiled as she came over to him.
Inuyasha looked over at Kikyou who was now sitting in front of him staring at him with an un-
readable look.
"What are you doing here Kikyou" Inuyasha asked.
"Inuyasha I was on my way the village to have my meeting with you when I sensed you and decided
why wait to be together; let us go to hell right now my Inuyasha"
"Ki… Kikyou I can't" (A/N: ever notice Inuyasha says Ki... Kikyou all the time when saying her
name, just a fun fact)
"And why is that" said Kikyou with an angry tone in her voice.
"Because I…lov…I mean I must make sure the jewel is taken care of and Kagome gets home
safely"
"How much longer till we can finally be together Inuyasha"
"In about two day Kikyou we will be at the village" he responded feeling upset and didn't know
why.
"Fine, I will be waiting at the village for you, at the scared tree, if you do not come it two days I will
find you and drag you hell" Kikyou said leaning over to Inuyasha. She connected their lips in a
chaste kiss.
"Her lips are so... cold and her kiss has no emotion, it's nothing like Kagome's warm loving kiss"
Inuyasha thought as Kikyou pulled back and flew off. Inuyasha sat there to stunned to move or even
think until he smelt it, lilacs and jasmine only one word came to mind,
"Crap"
: Kagome's Point of view:
Kagome was just heading back with enough water to last them until they got to the village when she
saw soul collectors and went to investigate and what she saw hurt her so deep she didn't think she
would recover this time. There was Inuyasha and Kikyou talking then all of a sudden Kikyou leaned
in and… kissed Inuyasha and he didn't push her away. Kagome stood there watching and not
feeling. Normally she was used to this kind of thing but since Naraku's defeat she thought she was
making so much progress with Inuyasha, heck they had even kissed a few times, and was all her
work being destroyed with one little kiss. She felt like dying. Then Kikyou pulled back and flew off,
he sat there a bit longer then all of a sudden his head shot up and looked directly at her, he had
found her.
: Normal point of view:
Kagome walked out from behind the tree and looked at Inuyasha in the eyes and he stared back
into her eyes. They stared for what seemed like and eternity until Inuyasha broke the silence.
"Kagome" he began but was cut of by Kagome walking over and holding up her hand to silence
him. Kagome sat down on the sleeping bag next to him. Brown eyes stared directly into golden
eyes; suddenly Kagome launched herself into Inuyasha and kissed him with such passion it could
have rocked the world. Inuyasha was surprised but he got over that and grabbed Kagome's waist
and pulled her to him deepening the kiss. Inuyasha licked her bottom lips and asked for entrance
which she granted and their tongs(sp?) battled for dominance which Inuyasha won. They pulled
back, oxygen becoming an issue for the duo. They stared again and Kagome pulled away from him,
and he let her go. The silence was broken by Kagome.
"Go to her Inuyasha, I know you want to, I can get home fine by myself" she said looking away
from him.
"Kagome" but Kagome continued pretending not to notice him,
"I guess I have always known you would leave me for her but I love you so much that it's hard to
accept"
As Kagome took a breath to continue, Inuyasha kissed her quick to keep her quiet.
"Kagome, now listen to me, I didn't kiss Kikyou, I know what it looked like but I didn't kiss back,
and I will never leave you alone with no one to protect you got that" Inuyasha pulled her into his lap
and hugged her tightly.
"I would never be able to live with my self if anything happened to you"
"Inuyasha thank you" Said Kagome turning around to hug him back. As they embraced they felt a
jolt go threw them and right there at that moment they felt like the world was a peace. Kagome
pulled back and smiled at Inuyasha while he did the same.
"Ok, now let's fix those wounds and get some sleep we still have along few days ahead" said
Kagome getting up and gathering the supplies she would need. Kagome cleaned and re-bandaged
the wounds on Inuyasha and they lay down to get some rest. They both lay on their backs and
looked up at the stars thinking, when all of a sudden Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hand. She turned
her head to look at him and he smiled again, he squeezed her hand and she did so back. They lay
there hand in hand and fell asleep just like that, and again the world just felt right.
