Theme 5: Wound

---

For all their watching of her, Kagome was separated from them. She was also wet and bleeding from a head wound. This all combined to make her very, very miserable.

Still, she had to count herself lucky; she had fallen off a bridge and into the river down below. With a fall like that, there was the high probability that she could have broken a limb or two.

Then again, she had no idea how serious her wound was.

Maybe she got lucky only to die of blood loss or something.

It was as she was looking around for something to stop the bleeding that she suddenly found herself looking at a bundle of clothes held by a clawed hand in front of her. In disbelief, she slowly looked up to see Sesshomaru staring at her with an unreadable face. He dropped the bundle into her hands and turned to walk away.

Remembering her vow, she called out to him. "Sesshomaru? Do you still want to know where I go to when I jump down the well?"

He paused and Kagome hurriedly caught up to him, one hand holding a cloth to her head.
