InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Feudal Fairytale Ficlets ❯ Faint ( Chapter 2 )

A/N: Just to eliminate any confusion, here's what's up with the author's notes: Botan comments on the ficlets Momigi has written, and vice versa.

I guess that leaves me to say a few things about Botan before we get started. When I first proposed this collaboration idea to her, I thought she would laugh at me. But she latched on, and now here we are posting. I am the one responsible for getting her hooked on Inuyasha. The day I realized she wasn't watching it just to humor me was a triumphant one, and I relish that I have again managed to corrupt another aspect of her life with my persuasive powers. But she'll tell it differently. Now, about the fic. I guess it doesn't help that Botan is taking a course in First Aid as she writes this. If it were more true to life, and I mean her life, the fic would be called “Concussion.” What are you up to now, 7? Fainting would probably be considered pleasant.

 

 

Witty Disclaimer: We don't own Inuyasha; however we are capable of stealing hairs and making Shikigami counterparts, complete with fun-noodle swords.

 

 

Faint

 

“Come on Kagome, just breathe—in and out, slowly.”

 

Concentrating harder, Kagome tried to comply. Inuyasha's hand was on her shoulder; he was keeping his voice calm, but occasional tremors belied his worry.

 

“It'll be over soon. Keep breathing—you're doing fine.”

 

It was all her fault.

 

She had explained hyperventilation. She had let Inuyasha read her first aid book. She had let the heat of the day get to her.

 

And now she was sitting on a rock in the middle of the Sengoku Jidai, head between her knees, an overprotective hanyou making her breathe into a paper bag.
