I Do Not Own Inuyasha
"Talking"
23. It's Nothing I Can't Handle, Trust Me
Inuyasha ran swiftly through the forest, not caring about the monk and kitsune youkai falling behind him. He had wanted to go alone. It would be faster this way, but the monk had insisted, and Shippo had whined, and Meoga had convinced him to let them tag along for they where the people with the information. Not him.
He growled at the thought. Kaori was dying, and yet he could do nothing. The strangers and the annoyances knew more about this then he did, and it angered him. He should be the one who knew all this. He should be the one who knew how to save her life. Not them.
But abandoning the village also meant abandoning Kaori, which was another of the reasons he wished he could have gone alone. Kaori burned his skin through his shirt as he held her. She felt like she was on fire, and even the cool air that whipped by wasn't enough to cool her down. He would have thought moving her would have been the wrong thing to do, but every time he stopped running, she'd gasp for air. It was like she need help to breathe.
So that's what they were doing. Helping her breath. Inuyasha never rested. The others did, but he didn't. The monk was fast enough so after an hour of rest they'd catch up. Inuyasha didn't feel tired, and even if he did he doubted he could sleep, not with this girl crying and gasping in pain. They'd been doing this for two weeks now.. and she was only getting worse.
But right now she seemed totally healthy, except for her volcano fever and speeding heart. She slept easily and peacefully as if it were any other day. No pain, no gasping, no crying. She was silent and peaceful. And that's how Inuyasha wanted it to stay. But it was hard to carrier her and run at the same time. Not when she unconscious and limp like this. At this point he worried about dropping her other then anything else.
"Inuyasha-sama. Are you sure you do not want to sleep?" Meoga asked, from his shoulder an hour later.
"I'm fine." Inuyasha replied, staring straight ahead.
The flea sighed. "Inuyasha-sama she is okay. The way her body reacts when you stop moving is just her brain over-reacting. You know how Kaori is such a drama queen. Honestly, nothing is wrong. She can't feel anything. You must be tired, go find the others. Kaori's okay."
Inuyasha didn't reply. Up until Meoga had mentioned it, he didn't feel the exhaustion. Suddenly he felt as though he weighted a million pounds, and he couldn't keep up the same pace as before. The flea nodded vigorously as if doing that would help prove his point, and directed the tired hanyou back to the cave.
The monk and kitsune child sat around a small fire, talking in low voices.
"So Kaori-sama's known the hanyou since she was a child then?" Miroku asked, taking a bite of his fish. "If that's the case then Inuyasha must be very old."
Inuyasha growled, taking about his age wasn't something to be aloud. The monk looked up surprised, then his dark blue eyes became nervous and almost frightened as he took in the angry face of the hanyou towering over him. "Oh, hello Inuyasha-ah-!"
The monk fell over unconscious due to Inuyasha's fist, and the hanyou glared at him. "Kaori was human for 9 years idiot."
"I don't think he can hear you." Shippo informed him, crawling up the monks unconscious body. "I think you killed him."
"Don't worry, Shippo." Meoga sighed. "Miroku-sama is not dead.." He looked over to the fuming hanyou who lay the sickly girl on a patch of soft ground not to close to the fir. "Yet.."
°°•. .•°ღ°•. .•°°
The crickets chirped happily through the night, keeping sleep from taking him. It was impossible. How could Meoga possibly think that it would be possible for him to sleep with Kaori in such a critical condition. Inuyasha glanced toward her, sleeping peacefully. Well, she wasn't bad now. But that was only because tonight was her night to become human. And to a human what she had was just a bad cold.
But her human transformation only made it that much more harder for him to fall asleep. She couldn't protect herself so she was in danger if he fell asleep and couldn't watch over her.
The brunette rolled over and sighed. Her hazel green eyes suddenly fluttered open, and he was at her side in an instant. She looked up at him. "I.. Inuyasha?"
Suddenly her eyes grew wide and she snapped up. "What!? Where am--" She swayed, as the blood rushed from her head, and Inuyasha's hands shot out to steady her. "Thanks.."
She leaned against his chest, and looked around. "So now you've brought me to a little camp sight? If the next time I wake up and I'm in a tree or on the edge of a cliff, I'm pushing you off it." She giggled, but winced as it brought pain to her throat. Her rubbed her neck, and looked back to him.
She looked suddenly sympathetic, and worried and she raised her hand to his face. "You looked tired.." She whispers, tracing the dark circles under his eyes. "Why aren't you sleeping?"
Inuyasha looked away, his bangs falling over his eyes. This was harder then he thought. He thought it would be easy to see her better, but knowing that tomorrow she'd be suffering again.. it was almost too much.
"Inuyasha?" Her voice broke at the end, and she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Inuyasha, I.. I know you're worried about me like all the time because I'm so danger prone, and weak. But I'm fine really. Like I said before, it's nothing I can't handle, trust me. You've got to believe that."
"Kaori."
