Everything I Do, I Do It For You

 

Look into my eyes - you will see

What you mean to me

Search your heart - search your soul

And when you find me there you'll search no more

Don't tell me it's not worth dyin' for

You know it's true

Everything I do, I do it for you

 

*****************************************************************

 

The Sun was going down on the night of the new moon when Naraku chose to attack. The group had been trying to get back to Kaede's village. Sango, Kirara and Shippo had been badly injured in a fight against a particularly vicious demon infestation that they had been trying to exterminate. They were in a makeshift stretcher which they had attached to Kagome's bike.

 

“It's a dead end!” Miroku said, as he came up against a cliff that had been obscured by the trees.

 

“There's no time to find another way out,” grated InuYasha. “We'll have to make a stand here.”

 

“But InuYasha,” said Kagome, “it'll be dark soon.”

 

“So I will just have to kill them that much faster,” he replied, drawing Tessaiga.

 

Naraku's insects were back, so Miroku was unable to use his wind tunnel. He stood in front of their injured comrades and brandished his staff. Then the demons were upon them; a swarm of demons that resembled Naraku, but not of his gargantuan proportions.

Tentacles shot out at Miroku and InuYasha, and tried to get at Kagome who had reluctantly agreed to hide behind the half demon.

 

`He's weakening', Kagome thought, as she watched InuYasha fight.

 

Anxiously, she looked at the sky through the trees as it deepened to a dark azure. She bit her lip, surveying the carnage. They almost had them beat, almost…Tessaiga was flickering in and out, then suddenly went dormant.

 

“Damn it!” yelled InuYasha, and lowered the useless blade.

 

He didn't see it coming but Kagome did.

 

“InuYasha!” she yelled, notching an arrow and dodging in front of him as a tentacle shot towards the metamorphosing half demon.

 

“No, Kagome!” InuYasha screamed in anguish, as the tentacle aiming for him pierced her chest a moment after she released her purifying arrow.

 

The arrow reached its mark and the last demon evaporated. InuYasha ripped the tentacle from Kagome's chest. It had pierced her straight through, front to back, and the blood gushed out both sides, drenching her blouse.

 

“Why did you do that?” said InuYasha, agony in his voice, as he tried to staunch the wounds with his hands while she lay cradled in his arms.

 

“I did it for you, InuYasha,” she whispered, her face pale. “If I have saved you, then that's worth dying for.”

 

“Don't you die on me, Kagome, I won't let you!” he replied, looking into her eyes as she slipped into unconsciousness.

 

“Nooo!” he howled, as the sky went dark and the stars came out.

 

InuYasha's black hair fell forward, covering his face as he made a strangled sob, and bowed his head over the dying girl.

 

“I can't let you die, I can't,” he said through clenched teeth as Miroku staggered over to them.

 

“We have to stem the bleeding,” Miroku said, dragging Kagome's backpack over to them.

 

Miroku carefully lifted Kagome's blouse, uncovering InuYasha's blood drenched hands where he pressed them tightly over the wounds. He reached into the backpack for a roll of bandages. They had used quite a few of them already for Sango, Shippo, and Kirara. He only hoped there was enough left for Kagome.

 

“You have to let go,” said Miroku. “We must bandage her.”

 

“No, I can't, she'll die,” gasped InuYasha from behind his curtain of hair.

 

“You must,” the monk replied, as he slowly grasped InuYasha's wrists and pulled his hands off her.

 

A sob escaped InuYasha's lips as more blood gushed out of the unconscious girl.

 

“She's losing too much blood,” he whispered. “Miroku, I won't let her die for me.”

 

Gravely, the monk packed the wounds and wound bandages around her as tightly as possible. She looked wan and pale, and her breathing was very shallow.

 

“I'm sorry InuYasha,” said Miroku, “but it doesn't look very good. I don't think she'll make the trip back to Kaede's village in her condition.”

 

“Damn it!” said InuYasha, his brown eyes sparkling angrily in the dim light, as he looked up at the monk. “Damn the new moon! I need speed not this weak human body!”

 

Miroku sighed deeply. If only they could get her help tonight. But in his heart, Miroku knew Kagome's chances were slim. Back in her own time, Kagome had told him there were places injured people could be brought to for help, but only InuYasha in his half demon form could get her there. It came to Miroku that they had one option left them, but InuYasha wouldn't like it.

 

“Sesshoumaru's palace isn't far from here,” said Miroku quietly. “Tenseiga could save her.”

 

InuYasha hissed angrily.

 

“What makes you think that bastard would help Kagome?” InuYasha said. “What price would he exact for his help?”

Look into my heart you will find

There's nothing there to hide

Take me as I am - take my life

I would give it all I would sacrifice

Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for

I can't help it there's nothing I want more

Ya know it's true

Everything I do - I do it for you

 

 

Then InuYasha went quiet.

 

`My life', he thought. `It's all I have to offer him. He covets Tessaiga but he can't use it since he won't use a human arm. She said she'd die for me…'

 

“I'll do it,” InuYasha said aloud. “You stay with the others. Get them to Kaede.”

 

“Are you sure you want to go alone in your current condition?” Miroku asked.

 

“I don't have a choice,” InuYasha said, standing up with Kagome in his arms. “Help me get her onto my back.”

 

Gently, Miroku and InuYasha draped Kagome over InuYasha's back and shoulders.

 

“Take care, InuYasha,” said Miroku.

 

“Kagome and I will meet you back at the village,” he replied. “I won't return without her.”

 

“Wait, take this,” said Miroku, handing him Kagome's flashlight from her pack.

 

Grudgingly, Inuyasha had to accept it. His night vision was good, when he was a half demon. It grated on him to be reminded again of how weak he currently was.
