Chapter Nine.
Kagome woke up, and wondered for a minute where she was and what she was doing on the ground. When her memory came back to her, she tried to sit up and see Taiga, but found that she was in to much pain. Her whimpering did catch the attention of Sesshoumaru though who was, at that moment, the very last person she wanted to face, considering the fact that she just tried to kill his son.
Bending down Sesshoumaru gently helped sit her up, "Are you okay?" he asked in concern, much to her surprise.
Finding herself unable to speak, Kagome just nodded her head slightly. She fixed Sesshoumaru with a pleading look, hoping that he would understand her question. In her mind she was screaming with worry over Taiga.
Before he could answer her look, voices raised in fury distracted them both. Kagome winced in pain as the extremely loud voice vibrated in her already sore head.
"You where warned three times. I've told you the stories while growing up. You where told this morning that she had been attacked by a hawk who tried to tear her head off. But did you listen? NO. You went ahead and ignored everyone. And came very close to having yourself killed. I don't know how she did it, but she managed to save your life. If she is hurt in anyway, I will personally hand you over to your Uncle. How could you be so stupid??" Kagura fumed.
"We told you she was strong. I warned you what she could do with her bow. You should have let her go the moment you saw her reach for it. I'm not sure just which stories you were told, but the ones that come to my mind are the ones where she faced your parents. She blocked your mother's attacks more then once. At one time while missing most of her soul. If it wasn't for the fact that at the time she had only been using her powers for a few months, your father, would have found himself badly hurt if not dead from one of her arrows. Hell the only thing that saved me once was the fact she can't aim with her eyes closed. What possesed you to attack her with your youki?" Inuyasha demanded.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't think she was that strong. I only thought that you were trying to boast her confidance...." Taiga answered them both.
"You didn't think pup. That's the problem. I don't lie, and when I give you a warning, you take it. Hell your father has better sense then you. At least he knows the warning signs of a miko, who reached her limits. You had better hope she's okay." With that warning, Inuyasha turned to go to Kagome's side. Seeing her sitting up with the help from Sesshoumaru, he calmed down slightly. But not much. He could still see that she was in pain, and he hated to see her in pain, any kind of pain.
Kagome tried to push Sesshoumaru away but didn't have the strength. Reading her mind, Sesshoumaru backed up a little, but stayed sitting next to her in case she needed help.
Closing her eyes Kagome reached for the two powers that were present in her body, her own miko energy and the energy surounding the fang in her neck. Consentrating like she did earlier, she used the energy from the fang to heal herself, and at the same time she used her miko energy to help keep the healing going until all the pain was gone.
Using Sesshoumaru's shoulder to stand, she walked slowly to where Taiga was kneeling on the ground, with Kagura still glaring at him. Dropping back to her knees, she used the same power to heal Taiga. Taking in his look of both shock and gratitude, Kagome smiled at him, before everything once again went dark.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome awoke to the soft murmer of voices. Realizing that she was in her bed, she took a moment to gather her thoughts. Slowly moving in case there was more injury then she thought, she got out of bed, and fought of the waves of dizziness, that threatened to engolf her, and moved carefully towards the open bedroom door.
Before she was half way across her room, she found herself in a pair of arms and placed back into her bed. Startled, she let out a muffled shriek of panic, before she realized that the person who put her back in bed was Inuyasha.
"What are you doing wench? You're supposed to be resting in bed." He said to her.
"I needed to go to the bathroom." Kagome said embarressed.
"Fine. I'll carry you there. But you're going straight back in bed. I don't need Jeninji coming up and giving me shit for letting you move around." With that Inuyasha once more picked her up and carried her to the bathroom. Waiting outside until she finished he carried her back to bed and tucked her in. A few minutes later Jeninji came in with a cup of tea and a small bowl of soup.
"I see that you're finally awake. You had us all worried for awhile."
Jeninji said with a smile.
"What happened? How long was I out? How's Taiga?" came the torrent of questions.
"First off, Taiga is fine. You healed him, though from what I heard he really didn't need it. Second you've been out for three days. And last we believe that when you figured out that it was Taiga who was 'attacking', you pulled most of your power back into yourself. When you woke from blacking out, you healed first yourself then Taiga, and then once more blacked out from overusing your strength."
Kagome's eyes, by the end of this were wide. "I've been out for three days?"
"Yes you have. And I can tell you that I was not to happy to hear that you were allowed to even play fight after being attacked earlier that day." Jeninji said with a scowl, that he directed at Taiga, who had just stepped into the doorway of the room.
Taiga ducked his head. He knew that what happened was his fault, and his uncle had already taken a round out of him. He had the injuries to prove it.
Waiting for permission to enter the room, Taiga asked the question that had been bugging him. "Kagome, why didn't you reconize me?"
Kagome smiled at him and motioned him closer into the room. Not noticing the look that Inuyasha gave him before nodding his head to also give his permission.
"I don't really know. I remember feeling a youki that I could not place, and then seeing a blur of white. When you grabbed my throat, all I could feel where your claws. They reminded me so much of that hawk that attacked that I started to panic."
Taking a deep breath to steady her thoughts, she tried to block out those memories. "The rest is a blur really, but I do remember, the second time you grabbed me, I heard both Inuyasha's and Sesshoumaru's voices, I thought they where fighting again. I must have believed that we where back in the past. I reacted the way I would normally. I attacked. Then I heard you scream. It woke me up and I grasped all of the power I could so that it would not hurt you too much. I guess it overloaded my mind, and I could not handle the strain. Then I healed us both which I needed to do in order to give that power somewhere to go. It drained me, beyond anything I have felt before. Next thing I knew I was waking up here."
Jeninji put his hand on Kagome's shoulder. "That explains a few things. And I think that this young demon has learned his lesson, when it comes to listening to those who know more then he does. Haven't you?" He said to Taiga
"Yes sir. I promise I won't ever make that mistake again. I don't think I'll survive the next 'lesson'."
Kagome for the first time, took the time to really look at Taiga. She was puzzled, because she remembered healing him from the injuries that she had caused.
"What happened to you?" She asked him.
