I do not own InuYasha (though I certainly wished I did) just the characters and the plot and, of course, the idea. Enjoy! :)

No reviews this time around but I'm okay with that. My muses demanded that I put this chapter out before any could arrive.

Anyway! Onto the chapter! xD

Chapter 8

Kaede watched worried as the nurse worked over Sara. She had been unconscious for the last three hours and had just woken up when the nurse and doctor had to cut her open. To say that Sara went berserk was a major understatement. The nurse still refused to get within three feet of Sara because of her claws. The doctor was at least brave enough to work on her even though she snarled and growled and screamed like a wounded wild animal.

Saya paced outside of the infirmary and cursed each time she heard Sara scream in pain and fury. Boy, was she pissed. She was told to watch over a Kioshi that ever came to Miko Academy and she failed, horribly. She clenched her fists and teeth as another round of screaming from inside the infirmary came to her weak, currently human ears. What the fuck was that nurse and doctor doing in there?! Were they trying to make her suffer more?

"Taisho-sensei is dead," she murmured to herself and stopped to listen. The nurse was saying something to Kioshi-san and she must hear what the hell it is.

"...it will be a while before it heals completely but you should be fine in a couple of days to walk around. Until, then no school."

"I need to train!" Sara cried and Saya smirked. "If I don't, whatever is coming will kill us all and I'd like to be able to defend myself and whole school if I must."

"Kioshi-san, I understand but you need the rest. If you keep pushing yourself past your limit you'll never get stronger!" she heard Kaede scold and shook her head. She was actually doing the smart thing pushing herself past her limits. If she didn't...she probably would have died today. And no one would survive if the war came earlier than expected if Sara wasn't trained properly.

"Kureno-chan," Saya called from the hallway, "shut the fuck up! She did the smart thing pushing herself beyond her limits. If she hadn't..." she trailed off and let the silence fill in the blank. She could picture the horrified looks on all of their faces and the sad one on Sara's.

"Shinto-sempai has a good point," Sara sighed and Kaede gave her a look. "If I hadn't pushed past my limits, I would have died. No questions asked." The young nurse flipped her blue hair behind her shoulder and glared at the student before her not scared any longer. The doctor just ignored them and continued to set her arm and stitch her stomach closed. He wanted out of there as soon as humanly possible. Youkai and mikos scared him like no other.

"Be that as it may, you still could have died either way," she growled and Sara shot her a look.

"Yeah, I know that!" Sara snapped and the nurse put a hand on her hip. She didn't need some spoiled brat giving her lip. The doctor and Saya smirked. Sara wasn't the type to back down. Sara sat up and went to get up but three pairs of hands restrained her. She shrieked in obvious frustration and snapped her jaws at the closest hand to her. The nurse screamed and jumped back from the pointy teeth of the patient before her. Kaede and the doctor just rolled their eyes while Saya laughed. She was watching from the doorway.

"Kioshi-san," Kaede snapped in warning when she came too close with her teeth and Sara gave her a lwild look. She felt trapped and her inner youkai was trying to control her at the moment. A small whimper came from her lips as restraints tied down her arms and legs. She struggled as much as possible before exhaustion called to her and her eyes closed on their own accord. Her breathing evened out and her struggling ceased as Saya deemed it safe enough to enter.

"Thanks, doc," she said as she handed him his money, "for fixing her up. Taisho-sama did quite a number on her." He only nodded as he took the miney and washed his hands.

Before he left though, he turned back to look as Kaede and Saya in the eyes. "Call me," he said with a serious tone only doctors could pull off, "if there are any problems with the stitching or her arm. I will tend to it myself."

Both girls only nodded as he turned back around and left. This was going to be one tough week fro their dear friend.

Whew! Got that chapter done. Well, review and tell me what you think!
