Hey everyone, I hope you like my story so far. Sorry I haven't updated in a while but it is Christmas vacation, so give me a break. Anyways here's the next chapter.

Chapter Eleven- The unknown follower

A Week Later

Everyone sat in Kaede's hut waiting for Kagome to return. "What if she never comes back?" Shippo asked in tears. Sango walked over to him and scooped him into her arms.

"It's okay Shippo. Kagome just needs time on her own to calm down. I'm sure she'll be back soon." Sango soothed. Right then Inuyasha stood up and headed towards the door.

"Uncle Inuyasha, where are you going?" Rin asked.

"I'm going to bring Kagome back." Inuyasha said before he ran to the well. Once he got there he jumped through and the blue light surrounded him. 'Kagome please come back. It wasn't what you think.' Inuyasha thought before he hit solid ground. Just then he smelt smoke and blood. 'Kagome!!' he thought as he leapt out of the well. When Inuyasha opened the shrine door, he saw the ruins of Kagome's house.

"Kagome!?" he yelled. No response came. "KAGOME!" Inuyasha shouted even louder, with tears forming in his eyes. 'No. She was killed, and I promised to protect her with my life.' He thought as one tears slipped down his cheek. Then the smell of salt water hit his nose. Inuyasha followed the scent until he got to the sacred tree. And there on the ground was Kagome crying. She was covered in blood, burns, and bruises.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha said just above a whisper. She looked up at him with anger, betrayal, hurt, fear, and confusion in her eyes.

"What are you doing here?" she whispered tears still streaming down her face.

"I came to apologize to you. Then I saw this. What happened here anyways?" Inuyasha asked while kneeling down in front of her.

"Cohin killed everyone. I'm the only one left. And when he finds out I didn't die in the fire he'll come back and kill me." Kagome said as even more tears fell from her eyes.

'No. I won't let this Cobin kill my Kagome. I'll kill him for doing this to her.' Inuyasha thought angrily. "Then come back with me to the feudal era. That way this Cobin can't hurt you again." Inuyasha stated.

"Why?! So you can break my heart again?" Kagome asked while placing her hand on her heart as fresh tears leaked down her face. Inuyasha then wrapped his arms around her waist.

"No. So I can protect you. And listen about the whole Kikyou thing, you don't understand what happened." Inuyasha started to explain but Kagome cut him off.

"I understand perfectly. You love her and I'm nothing to you." Kagome said sadly. Inuyasha's arms tightened.

"No! I don't love Kikyou I love you. And you mean everything to me. Kikyou was the one who kissed me to break us up." Inuyasha explained.

"How....how do I know you're telling the truth?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha looked down at her. He then lifted her chin with one finger.

"By this." Inuyasha said right before he kissed her on the lips. After a few moments Kagome kissed him back. Soon though they pulled back for some much needed air. "So do you believe me?" Inuyasha asked with hope in his voice. Kagome nodded.

"I believe you. Let's go home my love." She said hugging him tightly.

'Thank you Kagome.' Inuyasha thought. Just then Kagome gasped in pain. "Kagome?" he asked. Before Kagome could even reply she fainted. Inuyasha caught her. "Kagome?" Inuyasha said. She didn't reply. 'Her injuries must have gotten to her. She could die from blood loss.' He thought before picking her up bridal style and running to the well.

At Kaede's hut

"What's taking him so long to bring her back?" Shippo asked angrily.

"Shippo calm down, would ya? He'll be back when he's back." Kilala stated.

"They're back." Sesshomaru said. Just then Inuyasha walked in carrying Kagome in his arms.

"What happened to her?" Asked a concerned and worried Sango.

"Someone in her time killed her family and is trying to kill her." Inuyasha stated, while looking at Kagome.

"Here Inuyasha, bring Kagome into the back room." Kaede instructed. She moved the curtain out of his way and pointed to the bead in the middle of the room. Inuyasha carefully laid Kagome down and sat next to her. Kaede left the room to make the ointment for her injuries. 'This Cobin will never hurt Kagome again. I'll make sure of it.' Inuyasha thought.

About an hour later Kaede and Sango walked in to mend her wounds. Then Rin came in with a bucket and cloth. "Inuyasha, ye need to leave so we can aid Kagome." Kaede said. Inuyasha nodded and left the room.

'Please be okay Kagome. I can't lose you.' He thought.

"Kaede these burns are bad. She won't be able to move for a while." Sango stated.

"Ai, probably for a week or more. For the new and old injuries are very bad." Kaede replied.

An Hour Later

The entire group sat waiting for the three ladies to come out and tell them Kagome was okay. 'Please be okay. You can't die and leave me.' Inuyasha thought. Just then Kaede, Sango, and Rin came out.

"Is she going to be alright?" Shippo asked.

"Ai, she will be. Inuyasha, ye should be by her side." Kaede replied/stated. Inuyasha nodded and went into the back room. As soon as he got in there he sat down next to Kagome. About five minutes later Sango walked into the room carrying a bowl.

"What's that?" he asked.

"Kaede said to have Kagome to drink it and it will help relieve her pain." Sango said while placing the bowl next to him. With that Sango left the room. Inuyasha felt his heart sink because of the pained expression on Kagome's face. 'Kagome, I wish you were awake. Just so some of the guilt will go away.' He thought.

Inuyasha then noticed the dark bruise that was on her cheek. 'Did this Cobin punk do this to her? I'm gonna kill HIM!' Inuyasha thought angrily. Just then he heard Kagome moan as her eyes fluttered open.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered.

"Yeah, I'm right here. Don't worry." Inuyasha replied while taking her hand.

"Thanks." She whispered.

"Kagome, I need you to drink this." Inuyasha said while supporting her body.

"Thanks." She whispered. Inuyasha then laid her back down.

"You have to stay put for a week. So you don't further hurt yourself." Inuyasha stated.

"Okay." She said as she drifted off to sleep.

Kagome's dream

Kagome slowly walked through the forest looking for Kartron. 'Where's Kartron. I know he's here somewhere.' She thought. Just then Kartron flew down and landed in front of her.

"Lady Kagome, it's good to see you again." Kartron said while resting his head on her shoulder. Kagome wrapped her arms around him.

"It's good to see you too." Kagome replied.

"I still need you to come and save me." Kartron said.

"But how can I save you, if one I don't know where you are, and two I'm too badly injured to move?" Kagome asked.

"I was captured by Naraku. Also I can wait for you to heal." Kartron stated.

"Thanks. I will come and save you. I promise." Kagome said hugging him. Just then spider webs pulled them away from each other. Then everything went black.

End of dream

Kagome opened her eyes to see Inuyasha asleep in the corner. "Huh?" she gasped.

"What's wrong Kagome?" Inuyasha asked while staring at her.

"I sense a jewel shard approaching the village." She said.

"Okay. We'll deal with it. You stay here and don't move." Inuyasha replied leaving the room.

"Be careful, my love." Kagome whispered. About twenty minutes later Inuyasha came in with a jewel shard and the fragment.

"Here Kagome." Inuyasha said while putting the jewel fragment around her neck.

"What took you so long?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha started to explain. Little did they know, there was a person watching them from the trees.

A Week Later

"Are you sure you're okay Kagome?" Kilala asked.

"Yes, I 'm fine. Really." Kagome replied.

"Okay let's go find jewel shards and Naraku." Sesshomaru ordered. With that the group left Kaede's hut. Inuyasha stayed by Kagome's side the whole time. Little did they know that Naraku was watching them from Kana's mirror.

"Do you sense jewel shards Kagome?" Miroku asked.

"No but I have a feeling we're being watched." Kagome said while looking directly at where Kana's mirror was but didn't see anything.

"Someone's following us." Sesshomaru stated. Just then a young woman jumped out from the tree line. She had gold eyes, long silver hair that was in a low ponytail, silver dog ears, and a blue robe with a sword at her side.

"Hey." She said politely. Just when Sango was about to throw Hiraikotsu Inuyasha walked in front of her.

"Ina? Is that you?" Inuyasha asked.

"Hey, Yashie how are you?" Ina asked.

"Good. And don't call me YASHIE!" Inuyasha replied/yelled.

"Wait! You two know each other?" Miroku asked confused.

"Huh? Oh yeah. Ina, these are my friends Miroku, Sango, and Kilala. My adopted niece Rin and adopted brother Shippo. You already know Sesshomaru. And my girlfriend Kagome." Inuyasha introduced.

"Hi." The group replied in unison.

"Hi, I'm Ina. Inuyasha's twin sister." Ina said.

"Wait. Inuyasha you never told me you had a twin sister." Kagome said in hurt voice.

"I guess because I didn't want to tell you." Inuyasha said in a normal voice.

"Oh." Kagome replied.

Well there you have it. Hope you liked the chapter. Please review. Until next time. Byes.
