Chapter 10: A Camp Without Kagome

 

~* Not Far from the Camp *~

 

InuYasha slowly kept trudging to the camp. He was not longer able to run. Blood was now flowing freely form both of his arms and his chest. He had to make it to the camp, he didn't care how much pain he was in; he needed to be with Kagome.

 

Just then he began to hear talking and could see a fire through his ever worsening blurred eyes. So he quickened his pace, but, only to stumble on some roots. The roots that InuYasha had stumbled upon sent him rolling down a hill, landing with a thud. He forced himself up, but, only reluctantly; hanging onto the hope that Kagome hadn't left the camp yet. In hoping that she wasn't gone he was pulling out the box he had stowed away in his clothes, and prepared to give it to her.

 

~* At the Camp *~

 

“Kagome…” InuYasha wearily stated through half open eyes. With his weakened vision he could only make out Miroku, Songo, Shippo and Kirara. No Kagome. Her scent was very faint, she was gone. Sadness consumed his heart and the darkness was beginning to win, he could no longer sustain his injuries. With no warning InuYasha collapsed onto the ground, the last thing that he remembered was the sound of his friends calling for him to wake.

 

Songo, Miroku, Shippo and Kirara all hurried over to the unconscious InuYasha. They were taken aback by how much blood he had lost and his clothes were soaked through and through with blood. Not to mention his breathing was alarmingly ragged.

 

“InuYasha, what the hell happened?” Miroku asked while rolling him over, carefully. He nearly lost all the contents in stomach when InuYasha's chest wound came into view. It smelt of burned flesh and was still oozing blood. His right arm was battered and bleeding as well.

 

“Quickly get his clothes off and wrap him in a blanket. We need to treat there wounds right away.” Songo said as she gazed at the wounds, “He was hit with acid and it's keeping the wound open. I'll need to get some herbs to stop the bleeding. Shippo, you and Kirara go get some water and clean the wounds the best you can.”

 

“Is he going to be okay?” Shippo asked.

 

“He should be if we get him bandaged up. Now go, quickly.” Songo urged.

 

“Okay, let's go Kirara.” Shippo shouted and they were off.

 

“Miroku, be careful, there's still a bit of acid on his clothes.” Songo warned.

 

“Don't worry about me, just go get the herds you need.” Miroku said as Songo ran into the forest.

 

Miroku got InuYasha to a blanket and hung his clothes on a branch. `How did he make it back to the camp with all these wounds?' Miroku thought to himself.

 

“Kagome…I'm sorry.” InuYasha muttered in his unconsciousness. Miroku then noticed that InuYasha was clutching a box in his hands, so he relieved him of it to peer inside.

 

`So that's why you left today. I am sure that she will forgive you when she gets this and you explain what happened.' Miroku thought to himself as he placed the box on the gift that Kagome left for InuYasha.

 

~* Several Hours Later *~

 

InuYasha was still unconscious, his wounds were bound and the bleeding had finally stopped.

 

“What could have done this to him?” Miroku asked.

 

“It had to have been a powerful demon. Maybe it was Naraku or Hakudoshi.” Shippo thought out loud.

 

“Probably, but, I can't believe he made it back. He must have really had some drive to get back.” Songo concurred.

 

“He had a present for Kagome.” Miroku said, “It's over there, on the gift that Kagome left for him.”

 

“I knew he would have something for her. He's a good guy at heart and would not have intentionally broken her heart.” Songo said reassuringly.

 

The gang each took turns looking over InuYasha that night. Making sure his bandages were not coming loose, making sure no blood was seeping through the wounds and occasionally changing the wet cloth on his forehead. They all knew that it was going to be a long night.
