A Race Against Time Part 1 -Chapter 21 (O.O)

…………………………

It was some time before Kagome woke up, and when she did, the sun was high in the sky and someone was calling her name. But it sounded far away. The voice was familiar, but from where? And who was it?

The voice was still calling her name, it sounded like it was getting closer and closer to her. Suddenly, she felt a hand and on her back and started to lightly shake her.

"Kagome…" The voice called, it sounded like a sobbing voice. Some one turned her over on her back and started stroking her cheek. Suddenly, Kagome remembered where she heard that voice. It was Sango. With a jolt, she was fully awakened.

"Sango…" Kagome mumbled, an eye cracked open to glimpse Sango to see if she was really there and not a dream.

"Oh my," Sango exclaimed, hugging Kagome with tears running down her cheeks. "I thought you were dead, Kagome." She released Kagome and sat her up on the ground and looked at her.

Kagome shook her head, tears of joy running down her cheeks. Happy her best friend just found her. Kagome was getting a little about her after a long time of separation. They had never been apart for more than two days since they've known each other.

"I was so worried about you, Kagome." Sango told her, wiping away her tears. "Miroku and I both were."

As if on cue, Miroku came forward with Kirara in her demonic form walking next to him. He was surveying the area, probably looking for any sign of Inuyasha.

"Where's Inuyasha at, Kagome?" Miroku asked her, sitting next to Sango who was next to Kagome.

Memories from earlier that day came flooding back to her like a boomerang. And immediately tears started to furiously run down Kagome's cheeks.

"He-he," Kagome started, trying to wipe away her tears with the back of her hand. "Was t-taken by the castle soldiers earlier t-this m-morning." Then started crying uncontrollably on Sango's shoulder. Sango soothingly patted and rubbed her back.

"Kagome, what exactly happened?" Miroku asked her while handing her a handkerchief when Kagome was calm and sniffing while wiping away her tears, but more were still coming.

Kagome swallowed back sobs before telling them, "We were walking to a near by village when we heard loud hoof beats…" She continued to tell them of what happened earlier that morning. (But not the previous night. Lol.) "And then," Kagome paused, wiping away her tears with the handkerchief, "a big bulky guy, came up to him and…and h-hit him over t-the h-head and-and kn-knocked him out." Then she started crying uncontrollably again on Sango's shoulder.

"Its okay, Kagome," Sango told her, comforting her really sad friend. "We'll save Inuyasha. Just you wait and see. We'll save him."

Kagome looked at Sango through her now controllable tears and smiled. She was right, they will save Inuyasha from the evil clutches of Hoho (Lol)!

Sango smiled at Kagome for a brief moment then frowned. Something came across her mind that she just remembered from when they were talking to the village men a while back. She still remembered the story clearly as if it was just told a minute ago.

"But I hope we can save him in time." Sango told her sadly, not wanting to tell Kagome of Inuyasha's punishment for "beating Princess Kagome" up and leaving her for death to find her.

"Why?" Kagome asked her.

Sango got up and walked over to Kirara and patted her on the head.

"We'll explain everything on the way to castle." Sango told her, not looking at Kagome. "But we need to hurry right now," Sango got on Kirara's back. "So, lets go."

Kagome nodded as she got up and hopped on Kirara's back behind Sango and placed her hands around Sango's waist. A second later Miroku got on and they were off and into the air in a instant.

They were quiet for a while, thinking about what would happen if they didn't get to Inuyasha in time. Sango and Miroku were thinking about what the villagers had told them a while back.

(Flashback) (Story time!!!)

"Now," Frankie told them when they were settled in their seats. "Lets tell the story."

Sango sat up straighter, eager to hear the story.

"Now, about our dear Princess Kagome," Frankie started. "Less than two months ago, she hired a half breed for a body guard. Big mistake. A month and a half after she hired him, she ran away with him. Rumors say to get married or to get Princess Kagome out of her wedding to Prince Hojo that was to take place in two and half months." He paused, looking at everyone's expressions. "Three days later, after they ran away, they found her in a field with slashes and cuts all over her body."

"They also say if the half breed is found, their going to hang him in front of the entire kingdom." A man added then laughed. "Man, I would love to see that."

"Oh my." Sango exclaimed, a hand over her mouth.

"Did she look any different though?" Miroku asked, placing a comforting hand on Sango's shoulder. "I mean when they found her."

Frankie leaned back in his chair and rubbed his chin.

"Well," He started again, still rubbing his chin. "I did hear rumors from other village folk saying she was all pale and her eyes were grey and lifeless."

"Is that all?" Miroku asked, still comforting Sango who was on the verge of tears.

"Well…her hair was longer than it usually is and she wasn't really happy to be back in the castle."

"I see. How long was her hair before she ran away?"

Frankie thought about it for a minute.

"About to the middle of her back." Frankie told him.

"And how long was it after?"

"To her tail bone. Why does the length of her hair matter?"

Miroku smiled at Frankie.

"No special reason." He got up with Sango holding his hand. "Thank you for filling us in, Frankie. Now if you will excuse us, my lady friend and I have to get going. Good day." With that, Sango and Miroku left the hut, hand in hand still.

(End of flashback) (Awww man!)

"So, Kagome," Sango said to Kagome, trying to get her mind off Inuyasha's potential at punishment if they didn't get to him in time. "What was going on with you and Inuyasha during those two and a half weeks we were separated?"

And so Kagome told them about all her and Inuyasha's adventures from when they first started traveling, starting with the Kouga incident and then the night of the New Moon then the battle with Naraku and, painfully, told them the whole story about earlier that morning, which included many tears from Kagome.

"Its okay, Kagome." Sango said soothingly to her while watching pat her soothingly on the back. "We'll save Inuyasha."

"I know." Kagome told her, wiping away her tears. "But I just can't help thinking something bad will happen to him if we don't get to him in time." She looked at the back of Sango's head. "What will happen if we don't get to Inuyasha in time, Sango?"

Sango sighed several times before speaking. Kagome has to know the truth sooner or later.

"Well Kagome," Sango started, not looking at Kagome. "If we don't get to Inuyasha in time, he's gonna be hanged for nearly killing you."

"How could he of nearly killed me?" Kagome asked angrily. "You know he would never harm me, Sango."

"I know, Kagome." Sango told her calmly. "But it seems there might be an imposter in the castle right now, saying Inuyasha nearly killed you. And I bet she's in lead with that Naraku fellow you were talking about. I don't like the sounds of him." Sango shuddered when she said Naraku's name.

"I should've told them who I was and this wouldn't of happened." Kagome said sadly, thinking back to the fight between her mate and the guards.

"Kagome," Miroku spoke for the first time. "I believe it was a good thing you didn't tell those men who you were. You might of gotten the same treatment that Inuyasha was getting. And how do you think Inuyasha will feel when your dead because of your many broken bones? You're a human and you wouldn't be able to live very long if you got hit in the head numerous times."

Kagome sighed, "Your right, Miroku." She told him in yet a sadder tone.

Miroku put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Trust me, Kagome, all of us will save Inuyasha. Together." Miroku told her. "We know he means a lot to you."

Kagome sighed and nodded.

"How long will it take us to get to the castle?" Kagome asked, a little afraid of the answer.

Sango sighed.

"I don't know, Kagome." Sango truthfully told her. "It could take days. Maybe more."

Kagome swallowed back a sob that was threatening to escape her lips and continued to look forward as they continued onward. (How about we check on our beloved Inuyasha for a minute or two? I need to make this chapter longer.)

(With Inuyasha)

Inuyasha yelled in pain then growled as he was hit repeatedly with clubs and whips all over his body.

"Have a taste of your own medicine, half breed!" A big bulking man yelled at Inuyasha, bringing his whip down on him once again.

"Kagome," Inuyasha thought through the pain that was all over his body while he was still getting beat. "I hope your okay." With that, he drifted into a state of darkness.

(Back with Kagome)

Kagome suddenly felt she was on fire. Everywhere, her body burned with great pain. She screamed in pain and Miroku and Sango looked at her with concern.

"Kagome!" Sango screamed, watching her friend scream in pain and clutch her body. "What's wrong?"

But she didn't get an answer. Kagome continued to scream in pain.

"Kirara! Land!" Miroku yelled and the demon cat immediately landed on the green ground. Miroku and Sango put the still screaming Kagome on the ground and looked her over for any signs to which would explain her sudden pain.

"What's wrong with her?" Sango yelled to Miroku over Kagome's violent screaming.

"How should I know?" Miroku yelled back, looking for any wounds on Kagome's body but found none. Instead he saw, for a second before it was covered up again, a bite mark on Kagome's neck.

Miroku blinked. Did he just see what he think he saw? A bite mark on Kagome's neck? That explains a lot of things. Kagome is mated to Inuyasha and if one mate gets harmed, the other mate feels the pain as well as the mate that got harmed.

"What are you looking at, Miroku?" Sango yelled at him, looking at him over Kagome's now dieing screams. Sweat was on her face and neckline. Soon the screams were nothing more than whimpers and then she fainted.

"Kagome has a mate mark." Miroku told Sango once Kagome's screams and whimpers quieted.

"What?" Sango screamed, crawling over by Miroku and pulling down Kagome's sleeve to reveal a bite mark that was bright red. "Oh my gosh, Kagome! What have you done?"

"You know what the mate mark means, Sango?" Miroku asked her.

"Of course I do, Miroku." Sango told him, finally understanding Kagome's pain. "Before Kagome hired me as her bodyguard, I was-am- a demon slayer so I had to know all about their marriage rituals. But they don't marry, they mate. That mark is like a wedding ring to demons."

"And so Kagome can feel Inuyasha's pain, which means he's been harmed, really bad by the sounds of it." Miroku told her, watching Sango think.

Sango nodded her head and looked at Miroku with sad eyes.

"If Inuyasha dies, Kagome can too, that's if she wants to." Sango told him, sadly.

Miroku put a comforting arm around Sango.

"Then we'll just have to hurry up and find him." Miroku told her then gave her a kiss on the forehead.

Sango nodded and sighed as she watched Kagome's chest rise and fall.
