Chapter 29: Helping Father

'Oh no, what now?' She thought. Kagome walked out and saw someone walking up to the castle, Inuyasha was in the court yard and she walked down to him. It was Kagome's father.

"Dad! What are you doing here?" She realized he was wounded. "Oh god, what happened!" She asked him and ran up to him. He had lost a lot of blood from his look.

"Inuyasha can you bring him in? I'll get some bandages."

He did as she said and she got her first aid kit. They set him down in another room next to their's. Kagome started to tend to his wounds when their marks started to glow.

'Kagome?'

'Are you ok Dad?'

'I will be ok.'

'What happened?'

'I got into a fight with my general. He kept saying he was going to take The Southern Lands for his own. I killed him but he badly wounded me. Most everyone in my castle was killed. It was burned to the ground.'

'Oh my god. I'm so sorry. You can stay here until get a new castle if you want.'

'Thank you Kagome. Can you stop my bleeding? I feel like giving into my youkai now. You must hurry.'

'Right.'

Their marks stopped glowing.

"This is going to sting a bit Dad, please don't give in."

He moaned in pain. She tried to stop the bleeding the best she could. She bandaged him up until their marks glowed again.

'Kagome?'

'Yes Father?'

'Check my chest. I can feel bleeding there I think.'

'All right, do you feel any better?'

'Yes. Much.'

He gasped out in pain and his eyes opened. They flickered red.

"No Dad, not yet! Please! Hold on just a minute longer! Hold on! Inuyasha get his haori off, hurry!"

Inuyasha did as he was told. There was a massive wound. It looked like he might not get through the night.

"Oh god, I wish I was Kaede right now." She tried to stop the bleeding in his chest. She did everything possible.

Once again their marks glowed.

'Thank you Kagome. I will make it now. I can hold my blood back. Thank you so much.'

'You're welcome. I don't know why didn't I see the wound in your chest earlier. Do you have something similar to the fire rat on?'

'Yes. It is something similar but like an older version. It repels anything like dirt or blood.'

'Are you sure you feel better?'

'Yes. I don't feel anymore bleeding.'

'Thank god. I'm sorry this happened to you.'

'Its ok.'

'Do you want me to get you anything?'

'Water please.'

He sat up and their marks stopped glowing. Kagome sensed him sit up.

"Dad, you shouldn't sit up yet! You could start bleeding again."

"I'll be fine."

"Now, I know how you died."

"How?"

"My mom probably didn't know how to treat these kind of wounds. You probably died of blood lose because you couldn't control it your youkai." Kagome said and started to cry.

"What's wrong darling?"

"It's just the thought of you dieing like that!… I saw your eyes. I couldn't stand it Dad. I don't know what we're going to do about us in the next few centuries when the slayers come."

Her father was silent as she got the water bottle from her back pack.

"Father? Can you teach me to use the mark like you can?"

"Yes, but it will take some time."

"That's the one thing I do have." She glanced over at Inuyasha who wasn't really paying attention now. "Father, in three months you'll have a grandson."

"I'll what?" He looked at her shocked; Inuyasha also.

"You'll have a grandson."

"Oh my god. I'm getting a grandson and I haven't even had the daughter that's having him. This is a messed up world."

"Hey, this is all Naraku's fault I'm here. He killed Kikyo who killed Inuyasha, and she was reincarnated into me, with the Shikon no Tama in me."

"Did you for sure defeat Naraku?"

"Well, we're pretty sure. He's already pulled the coming back trick twice. My miko arrow was pretty powerful and so was Inuyasha, his youkai killed almost everything in it's path until it saw me."

"You turned into a youkai?"

"Yea, nothing big of it though. I've turned into a youkai many before."

"Nothing big? You should of seen that death glare you gave me before you calmed down! I wanted to bolt out of there but my legs wouldn't move. And after that I still felt like bolting out. You don't even realize how deadly you looked like that. I bet I didn't even look half as bad mister I'll just defy all laws and walk up to my mate and calm her down with about 90 chance of getting hurt or killed!"

"Well it was either that or let you kill everyone in plain sight! Which was better? You want to go through what I felt with So' unga and smell blood on you for weeks?"

"You wielded So' unga?"

"Yea, it didn't work out as planned though."

"Father, you need rest. We'll be outside, if you need anything just call for me with the mark. I'll come. Come on mate, lets go."

They left Inu Heki in peace.

'Kagome… My blood… hurry, please!' He called after a while. Kagome rushed in with her first aid kit.

'What's wrong? Is it your chest?'

'Yes. I-I don't know what's wrong. I-I… I can't hold on much longer… please…'

She opened his haori and removed his bandages. The wound in his chest had bled even further. She put on some ointments and bandaged him again and he relaxed.

'Thank you.'

'Are you going to be ok?'

'Most likely.'

He gasped in pain again.

'What's wrong?'

'I think it's my heart.'

'Ok, if you can survive I'll bring you to Kaede's. Can you make it to the village near The Bone Eater's Well?'

'I can.'

'All right, just relax.'

"Inuyasha! Get you ass in here!"

"I'm coming wench! What do you need?"

"I need you to take my father to Kaede's. He's having heart problems. I can't do anything about it. I'm coming too."

"No you don't, your staying."

"He's my father, now I'm coming. I would come if I was half dead so deal with it Inuyasha! Just take him. Ges."
