A/N: Hey everyone! So how did you like my last chapter? Well, I'm not going to say much this time, so ill just get on to the fic. Hope you like.

 

Warning: just some bad language and some angst, mostly on Inuyasha's part.

 

Disclaimer: Even though I wish I did, I don't own Inuyasha, just watch him.

Chapter 7: A Miko's Distrust (Revised)

 

 

 

“Miroku! Over here I found her!”

“Finally…” Miroku turned from the clearing he was about to enter, and ran in the direction he heard Sango's voice. Bursting into another clearing he immediately ran to where Sango was crouched down next to another figure.

Finally reaching Sango, Miroku let out a horrified cry, when he saw a half-naked, bruised, and scratched Kagome lying in a fetal position on the forest floor.

“What happened to her?” Miroku asked, crouching down next to Sango.

“I don't know she hasn't said anything. As soon as I got here she just went into a tighter ball and stayed silent… Miroku it looks like a demon either did rape her or tried to.” Sango looked back down to the once proud Kagome and shook her head sadly.

“Who would do such a thing to an innocent girl? And where was Inuyasha? Didn't he come out to find Kagome last night?”

At the mention of Inuyasha's name Kagome got into a tighter ball and started to whimper. Sango reached out her hand to Kagome's shoulder and shook her gently.

“ Kagome please talk to us…who did this to you?” her only answer was soft whimpering. Looking up at Miroku with sad eyes she pulled away her hand and stood up.

“ Miroku pick her up and carry her back to the village. Get her healed, I'll meet you there later.”

“ Where are you going?”

Her eyes hardening in determination, she jumped on the transformed Kirara.

“ I'm going to find Inuyasha and ask him where the hell he was, and why he didn't protect Kagome. I swear if I find him with Kikyou, I'm going to kill him. With my bare hands.” Turning around she leaned down on Kirara's back.

“Let's go Kirara, find Inuyasha!!” With a loud growl, Kirara jumped into the air and flew off.

Looking back at the now shaking Kagome, he walked to her and lifted her almost weightless body into his arms. Once in his arms the half-naked girl grabbed his haori into her clenched fist and dug her face into his chest.

“Don't worry Kagome we'll get you healed up.” Grabbing his monk shakujou, he took off into the woods, back towards the village.

 

 

Inuyasha pushed his legs to go faster as he got closer to the village.

`Damn how did I get this far away from the village?!'

Jumping onto another tree he stopped and smelled the air, looking for Kagome's familiar scent. Not finding it, dread started to grow in his stomach as he thought about Kikyou's words….

 

“That's how I found you with Kagome….”

“You weren't protecting her last night…”

“You were a demon when I found you last night with Kagome…”

 

 

`I know she's leaving something very important out…But what is it…why can't I remember anything after I left the village!'

Jumping down from the tree he started running again.

`What if I did something to her…what if I...Killed her? Kami, please let her be okay'

Catching a new scent in the air Inuyasha stopped and looked up to the sky as he saw Kirara coming his way, with Sango on her back. As they got closer, Inuyasha got a good look at Sango's face and his dread turned into full-fledged panic.

`Oh shit.'

 

 

After some time, they reached the village. Miroku rushed to the cottage the group was staying in; bursting through the door, Miroku gently laid Kagome onto a futon close to the fire. Finally he covered her with a blanket, careful not to hurt her. Once he was sure Kagome was comfortable Miroku ran out of the cottage and headed to the healers hut.

He told the healer his story, leading her to the cottage Kagome was in. Following the healer in he watched as she thoroughly checked Kagome over. After a couple of minutes of silence Miroku started to get impatient.

“Well?”

“I'm afraid I have bad news…. Even though, she does have many scratches and bruises, they will heal in due time…that is if she lives long enough…” the healer said sadly, as she slowly started pulling out herbs from her pouch.

 

 

A/N: I've decided to stop it here. So how did you like it?

 

Next chapter:

Sango finally talks to Inuyasha. What will his reaction to the news be? Miroku finds out what the healer is talking about and Kagome starts to have nightmares about a certain someone. Will she live? Will her mental state be permanently damaged? Find out next chapter.

A hint for all my readers… in this chapter I said that Inuyasha doesn't remember anything past when he leaves the village going after Kagome. This is going to be a big factor in later chapters so pay close attention. Later!
