Disclaimer: I do not own inuyasha

Chapter 8 Please wake up

"Miroku look down there, there's a hut down there maybe we can stay there for the night and head back to kaede's hut in the morning." "Good idea Sango," kilala went down to

the open field by the hut." Hello is there anyone here…, I guess no one lives here miroku." "This place looks like no ones lived here for years so we should be safe here for the

night." Miroku got a fire started while sango was checking on inuyasha and kagome. Inuyasha was bleeding threw his bandages, so she went to go changed them but inuyasha

grabbed her hand. "Where's ka...kagome at is she alright,"" save your breathe inuyasha you've been hurt really bad kagomes laying over there in her knapsack with shippo, she still

hasn't woken up yet I'm not sure what's wrong, but you need to rest your in really bad shape." "Sango could you take me over by her," Sango nodes her head yes and carefully

picks inuyasha up to carry him over to kagome. Inuyasha thinks to himself while looking at kagome; I'm so sorry kagome you wouldn't have gotten hurt if it wasn't for me. I

couldn't save you now you haven't woken up and it scares me I promise I'll do what ever it takes to save you. Inuyasha grabbed kagome's hand and held it in his hand and

whispered very softly I love you kagome. Inuyasha then passed out cold from the pain and layed there hand in hand with kagome till the sun rised. He woke up to see shippo in his

face then yelling out to sango that hes woken up. "How do you feel inuyasha,' "just fine why do you ask?" Inuyasha then tried to sit up but grabbed his chest in pain and laid back

down. "You shouldn't be getting up just yet inuyasha, your still to badly injured." But he ignored sangos words and sat up proped against the log that laid behind him. "Feh, I'm fine

it's just a scratch, besides I'm half-demon so it want be here for long anyway." Inuyasha then notices kagome still lying on the ground and hasn't moved at all since miroku and them

laid her down in her knapsack. "How's kagome or has she still not woken up yet." "She still hasn't moved at all I'm worried about her inuyasha.'' Inuyasha rubbed kagome's face

gently and got off the ground slowly and turned to look at sango." She'll be okay, you forget this is kagome we're talking about she's' a lot stronger then she looks." He pauses for

a minute then said, "I think I'm going to take walk I'll be back." When he turned around to start walking he admittedly grabbed his side and bent over almost falling back down, but

sango grabbed him. "You are still to badly hurt you shouldn't be moving at all, please lie down and rest you don't have to pretend that your not in pain. We all know that you're

really hurt and its okay you don't have to act all big and tough." "Feh," inuyasha got out of sango's grasp and started to walk off. "I don't need your pity I told you that I'm fine."

Later that night sango and miroku sat down by the fire still waiting on inuyasha's return. "I hope he's okay miroku hes been gone all day and when he left he seemed really upset."

"He'll been fine sango I'm sure he'll be back before you know it and besides he's probably out clearing his mind, he may be acting tough but he's really worried about kagome and

the fact that she hasn't woken up probably scares him." After everyone had fallen asleep inuyasha had finally returned. "Wow I didn't think I was gone that long." Inuyasha walked

over to kagome who still laid in the same spot as she was yesterday. "Kagome," he thought to himself, then has he kneeled down beside her he noticed she was breathing. "She's

breathing, so she's not dead thank god." Inuyasha kissed kagome on the check and looked for a nearby tree to sleep in. That same night inuyasha started to have a horrible nightmare.

Inuyasha's Nightmare

" Inuyasha you have one choice kikyo or kagome. Think hard because either way you're going to lose one of them. Haha now lets see should it be kikyo the first love of

your life. Who betrayed you and gave me the jewel or do you pick that wrench kagome. Naraku you bastard," Inuyasha looked at kagome then at kikyo and whispered

her name in an angered softly voice then paused for a minute. Then loudly screamed "why did you do it," but before he could get it out all the way naraku butted in.

"Oh, so you chose kikyo then say fair well to your beloved kagome. No kagome…, now die wench," Inuyasha ran to catch kagome but it was too late she fell to her

death. "NARAKU…………. I'll kill you I swear on kagome's grave I'll kill you, you dam bastard."

End of dream

Inuyasha then wakes up in a cold sweat and panicing. "It was just a dream but it had seemed so real, could it have been a vision of something that might happen in the

future." Inuyasha then looked down at kagome when he thought he had heard her screaming but it was faint screaming. He jumped down from the tree to go check on her to see if

she was okay. As he got closer he could make out what she was saying. "No get away from me some please help me," they weren't loud screams they were faint almost like a

whisper. Inuyasha ran over to kagome and grabbed her hand in his and rubbed her face whipping away the sweat and to try and calm her down. She finally stopped screaming and

then had the look of peace on her face like she knew inuyasha was beside her. "She looks so much like kikyo but she's nothing like her. In my dream naraku gave me a

choice between kikyo or kagome. But maybe it was my heart telling me to pick one of them, I know I can't have both of them and besides kikyo is the past. She's not

like she use to be I don't love her any more I just feel sorry for her. Maybe that's why in my dream I couldn't choose." Inuyasha looked down at kagome who was now

sleeping peacefully. Inuyasha then leaned down and whispered in her ear "I love you kagome and I will always protected you." Then he kissed her gently on the lips before going

back to the tree. But before he could get up he heard a soft sweet faint voice saying "inu.. inuyasha." Inuyasha then turned around to see kagome smiling at him. She then reached

out to hold his hand. "Kagome…, your okay," she simply nodded her head yes. Inuyasha now facing kagome held her in his arms, "I was so worried I thought I had lost you

for-ever, how do you feel?" "I'm fine I just feel really weak and drained." While inuyasha was stroking kagome's face running his hands in her hair he said, "you just need to get

some rest, we can talk more in the morning." He laid her back down and kissed her on the check. Inuyasha then stood up and started heading back to the tree he was napping in.

But before he got close to the tree he was stopped by the sound of kagome's voice. "Inu..yasha," " what is it kagome," "can I sleep with you tonight?" Inuyasha nodded his head

"yes," he then walked back over to kagome and picked her up slowly because he was still in pain from his own injures but he didn't want kagome to know he was in pain. He

placed her in front of him with his back against the tree. She laid her head on his chest, and fell back to sleep. "Thank you kagome," he whispered in her ear as he drifted to sleep.
