Chapter 14 The Recovery

Later that night sango was feeling much better and helped miroku bandage kagome and inuyasha's wounds as she watched her little brother play with kilala and shippo. She was so

happy to have kohaku back and the love of her life right be side her. She would be even happier if she knew that her two friends were okay, she doesn't know if their going to live

or die, the thought of this made sango start crying but miroku was there to comfort her and to ensure her that everything was alright. They had forgotten about the shikon jewel, until

shippo found pieces of it over where inuyasha and kagome were lying by the tree. "What do you think we should do with it miroku, maybe we can put it together." "No, lets just set

it by kagome she's the only one besides kikyo who can purify the jewel." Sango shook her head yes to the monk and got up slowly because of her injury on her right side from when

she was fighting her brother, and placed it in the hut next to kagome. But when she walked in she noticed inuyasha up and with kagome in his arms with his back against the wall. He

looked up at sango and she could tell he was in pain, she knew he shouldn't be sitting up like that but she didn't want to bother him. Sango smiled at inuyasha letting him know that

she was happy that her friend was alright but the she looked down at kagome in his lap, she almost started to cry again at the thought of losing her best friend, but walked outside

before she did and sat down in the monk's lap holding him close to her. Kohaku and shippo looked at one another and looked back at sango, "do you think she'll be alright shippo,"

"she'll be fine, she has miroku with her and besides I think everyone is just as worried about kagome and inuyasha as she is, kagome's the one who brought us all together and I

guess you could say she's kind of been like a mother to me since mine died, and I couldn't imagine what it would be like with out her." "Oh," shippo looked down as a tear started

to fall down his cheek but quickly wiped it away before any one saw it, "I have to be strong for the others I mustn't give in. Kagome, inuyasha I hope you're alright."

Kohaku went back to playing with kilala and shippo not wanting to disturb his sister.

With inuyasha and kagome

After sango placed the jewel by kagome and left they didn't noticed it starting to glow. Inuyasha had drifted into sleep with kagome in his arms and didn't notice it till he woke up to

a bright light. The light was not only coming from the jewel but also from kagome. She was glowing a light purple and started to rise from inuyasha's lap. "Ka…Kagome…,"

inuyasha said almost so quietly that no one could hear him. The now glowing jewel lifted from the ground to appear right in front of kagome, it formed a circle formation with two

single shards and the bigger almost complete jewel and started spinning slowly till kagome grabbed the pieces with her powers slowly putting the jewel back together. Inuyasha just

sat there with a confused look on his face, He would have already been up with his arms around kagome but his wounds were too bad for him even to move.

With Sango and Miroku

Sango and miroku noticed the glow coming from the hut and wasted no time getting into the hut to check on inuyasha and kagome. When they entered the hut they saw kagome

glowing with pieces of the jewel floating in front of her in a circle, but what scared them the most is that she was wearing the same kimono she was wearing when she was under

naraku's spell. They then saw inuyasha sitting against the wall he was looking at kagome with a scared yet confused shocked expression on his face. The young priestess before them had a look that

didn't look like the miko they new. She looked almost like the priestess midoriko (I think that's how you spell, sorry if it isn't) and a lot like kikyo at the same time.

Kagome's pov

"What's happening to me," kagome's sprit was in the light blue demintion, there was no one in sight. Then in front of her appeared the priestess midoriko, "midoriko, i'm I dead,

where i'm I," "you're not dead your in the sprit world." Kagome gave the priestess in front of her a confused look but let her talk anyway. "I wanted to thank you for putting the

jewel of four souls back together again. You've done something me nor any other priestess could of done, I am for ever grateful." Just then an image appeared behind midoriko, she

could she what was happening while she was in the realm. In the image she saw inuyasha getting up and coming towards her, but fell and lost conscious again. Kagome could see her

friends running towards inuyasha with worried expressions on there face as inuyasha's wounds had reopened from moving. "Inuyasha," midoriko turned back to look at kagome and

could tell at that moment how she was feeling for inuyasha and saw the scared look on her face thinking that inuyasha had died. "You care for that half-breed don't you," at

midoriko's words tears started rolling down kagome's face and she managed to say "yes" in a whisper. "Then I know how to show you how thankful I am by doing this," midoriko

pointed a finger at the hanyou and it glowing a light green just as kagome's hand did when she placed it on kohaku's back. Kagome saw inuyasha open his eyes barley as the light

faded. "Kagome you're the only one I know that has be able to keep the jewel away from the wrong hands and put it back to gather, you have a very caring heart and I wish

you well." As everything started to go black kagome managed to say "thank you priestess midoriko," before returning back to her realm with inuyasha and the others.

Normal pov

Inuyasha forced him self to get off the wall to run towards the glowing miko afraid that naraku was still controlling her that he wasn't dead at all. But he fell before he reached her

causing the others to run to his aid. All of a sudden there was a bright glow from the now completed jewel in kagome's hand. As the light started to dim down the others could see

kagome falling back down to her feet and slowly being placed back down beside inuyasha. The kimono she was wearing now had faded back to her normal school uniform. They

didn't notice inuyasha glow a bright green then it disappear, as he opened his eyes barely but them closing them for the pain he was feeling was to great.

Kagome opened her eyes whispering "inu…yasha," "Kagome your alive," yelled shippo as he jumped on his friend, while she started to sit up crying tears of join that his friend was

okay. Kagome patted the little kitsu on the back letting him now she was just as happy as he was. Kagome looked down at the hanyou that laid beside her, his head propped up

with her bag. She quickly looked back at the kitsu in her arms still hugging her close as a single tear ran down her face. "Shippo why don't you and kohaku go back outside and give

kagome some time only, we'll be out there in a minute." Shippo nodded his head yes at the monk's words as he and kohaku went outside. Miroku then turned his attention back at

kagome; sango got up from beside miroku and wrapped her arms around her friend, letting her cry and at the same time trying to let her know it was okay. But she knew herself that

it wasn't and then she began to cry a little herself but stopped so it wouldn't upset kagome even more. "Its okay kagome inuyasha is one of the strongest people I know; he'll be

okay just please stop crying." While sango was comforting kagome miroku was inspecting inuyasha to see how bad of shape he was in. He looked up at sango as she gave him a

pleading look to tell her he was alright. But miroku didn't say anything he just gave her a look telling her he need to talk to her outside which meant it wasn't good. Sango let go as

kagome stopped crying and gave her a reassuring smile before she left the hut to go and talk to miroku. Kagome could tell by the look in her friend's eyes that inuyasha wasn't going

to be okay. She wanted to start crying again at the thought of inuyasha dieing but didn't. Kagome looked down and closed her eyes remembering all the good and bad times she had

with inuyasha which made her even sadder. Then a thought came to mind, she had remembered midoriko pointing her finger with a green light at the image of inuyasha. "Maybe she

healed him and he's just sleeping, no then miroku would have been happy not disappointed or maybe midoriko was trying to tell me to do it." Questions kept racing threw

her mind till some one grabbed her hand and held it tight breaking her out of her thoughts. When she looked to see who it was, it was…..

A/N: I know cliffy but I had to it was killing me to do it, who grabbed kagome's hand, will inuyasha be alright or will he die, what was it midoriko could have been trying to show kagome, review to find out. Again so sorry for the wait, pleas let me know what you think of this chapter
