Hi, so I'm back. So this chapter is going to be switching from people's point of view a lot, just a warning, in case anyone is confused. Enjoy!

Love Risk Chapter 2.


It's been days since Inuyasha took Kagome to Kaede's hut and she was healed. After many hours of Miroku and Kaede trying to stop the bleeding and close the wound, she was asleep and alive. They said it was a miracle Kagome did not die from blood loss, apparently she was very close if they came a few minutes later.

But the problem was, she still hasn't woken up, and that was three days ago. It was understandable; realistically she shouldn't be alive with a gaping hole in her chest. But that didn't mean they worried any less.

Everyone was getting so worried, they even thought Inuyasha should take her home, so she could get real medical attention, but he said no. So instead they stayed inside Kaede's and took shifts watching the sleeping girl and changing her bandages every other day.

"Gee, Kagome's been sleeping for a while now. I hope she wakes up soon." Shippo said as he and Kirara watched the girl from the future sleep.

"Remember Shippo, she did lose a lot of blood, it took a while to just stop her from bleeding out. It's a miracle she's alive now, so we should count our blessings and keep praying for her to wake up and have a safe recovery." Miroku said, sipping some of his tea, although he was also worried like the rest of them.

Flashback

It's been an hour, almost two, maybe even three, since Inuyasha brought Kagome to Kaede to be healed. Inuyasha, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara were waiting outside, while Miroku and Kaede were inside the hut trying to heal her. It was sullen, gloomy. Sango even thought she saw rain cloud over the hut. Shippo was very worried for his adoptive mother, you could hear him sniffling every now and then from the thought of losing her. A million thoughts were running through his head, like: "Is Kagome gonna make it? Will I ever see her again?" Or "Stupid Inuyasha, this is his entire fault! How could he have left Kagome like that!", and "Ugh, how could I have let this happen? I'm so useless!"

Kirara knew what happened; she knew things were still bad when she didn't see the young girl, who grew to be a second owner and friendly companion to her, around. Even though she can't show it as well as the others, she was just as depressed. She was currently lying next to Shippo basking in the sad and dull aura everyone else sunk into.

Sango was fidgeting, tapping her foot, shaking her leg, sometimes even pacing, as she and everyone else were waiting to hear news of the girl's condition. She was scared, for the first time in a while; she was scared for her best friend. She was trying to stay calm and patient, for the sake of the others, but it felt like an eternity since they got there!

Inuyasha was the worst out of all of them. He knew it was his entire fault. If he hadn't gone to Kikyo this one time, he would have been able to protect Kagome. He felt so guilty; she almost died, could be dying, or could be dead, because he wasn't there again! If she did die he would never forgive himself, neither would his friends, that's why he was praying to every God that cared enough to listen to him, just to make sure she would make it.

Apparently the Gods answered his prayers because Miroku came out with a tired look but relieved smile on his face.

"She's ok, she's resting right now. You can all come in again just be quiet, Kaede and I don't want her to wake." Miroku said after hours of work, turning back to go inside. Everyone let out a relieved sigh and had a smile on their face as they stood up to follow Miroku.

End Flashback

Five days, it's been five days of sleep for the wounded girl. Everyone was so depressed, no one was thinking of going out to fight Naraku or finding jewel shards. Nobody really cared if they didn't have their friend with them. The only thing that was on their minds was when would their poor friend would wake up? The group all knew if Kagome didn't wake up soon, they would be at Kaede's for a long time, not that the priestess minded of course.

Inuyasha's POV

'DAMMIT!' I yelled in my head over and over again, as I slashed at some trees in the forest.

'Why won't Kagome wake up? She's been asleep for 5 days! It will be all my fault if she doesn't wake up. I will never forgive myself; I should have stayed with her.' I thought again as something wet rolled down my cheek. I looked up at the sky confused; it was a clear blue sky, no clouds at all. It wasn't raining; I didn't know where the hell the small drop came from. I touched my face where the water was, to feel more coming down. I knew what it, I was crying. I realized I haven't cried since the last time Kagome and the others were about to die from poison. It's not much different; it was my fault back then and it's my fault. And I won't blame anyone if they want me gone, if she dies I would want to die.

I can't believe I could actually be losing Kagome.

Kagome's POV

Darkness. That's all I've been seeing, feeling, even breathing for how long now? Days? Weeks? For me it's been like years.

I've been walking in it forever, feeling like I'm never getting out. I've been looking for any kind of light that I can get free from. But nothing, just complete darkness.

That's when I started to think, am I dead? Is this what it's like to be dead or right before you die? I started getting really scared, so I started running and screaming, screaming for Inuyasha. I didn't want to die! I haven't told Inuyasha how I feel about him; I haven't even told him to 'sit' for this morning!

I stopped, I remembered this morning. Inuyasha left to see Kikyo, and then Naraku came and tried to kill me! Did he succeed? Is that why I'm here?

Either way, Inuyasha obviously didn't care enough to come back and help us, help me! That's why I'm here. Like always, I'm second to Kikyo in his heart.

Normal POV

The next day the whole group was in the hut having tea and getting ready for lunch. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were around the fire pit having small talk, while Inuyasha sat close by Kagome's sleeping form. Inuyasha was the only one to notice the girl stirring, and the only one who seemed to notice her open her eyes for the first time in days.

"Kagome? Are you…?" Inuyasha called out making everyone in the small room turn. He didn't know if this was a dream or not, he really hoped not, having her sleep for days made him more and more guilty for leaving her in the first place. He wanted to push everyone out and take her in his arms and apologize until he dies from loss of oxygen when he saw she opened her eyes and looked at him.

"You're awake."

Ooh, cliff-hanger. Sort of… How will Kagome react when she talks to Inuyasha? How will he react? How will I react?
