Chapter 7:

“KAGOME!!” Inuyasha ran as fast as he could, yet it felt like he was crawling. *Please Kami! Let me get to her, let me protect her! I DON’T WANT TO FAIL HER AGAIN!* He could here Sango call there names, and he could also here Kikyo’s laughter. Inuyasha put on a burst of speed he did not know he had and flung himself on Kagome. He could feel the Arrow about to hit him in the heart. He braced, but it did not hit. he felt a gust of wind go behind him at the last minute and turned around to see the arrow sticking out of Kirara's mouth. she had caught it before it hit him.

“Thank you Kirara. You saved us.” Kagome had woken up when Inuyasha flung himself on top of her and watched Kirara catch the arrow. After Kagome thanked Kirara she looked up to Inuyasha. She could feel her spirit slipping in and out of her body. “Inuyasha, Please, don't let me go....” Kagome then passed out.”

“I won’t. I promise.” Inuyasha scooped Kagome up bridle style and took off for Kaede's village. Kirara and Shippo helped Sango and the still passed out monk onto Kirara's back before they took off back to the village.

Inuyasha reached the village and burst through Kaede's door. Kaede jumped to her feet.

“Child, what has happened to Kagome?!” Kaede was already retrieving all her supplies, plus the ones that Kagome gave her from the future.

Inuyasha told Kaede about Kagome being possessed by a minion of Kikyo's and how Kikyo was working for Naraku. he even told her how Kikyo used him.

“Kaede, how is Kagome? Will she be aright?” Inuyasha was whipping all the blood off Kagome so she could be bandaged.

“I’m sure she will pull right through this, She is a strong girl and a very powerful miko.” Kaede forced the confidence in her voice as she watched Inuyasha clean Kagome’s wounds. * I hope anyway. She is so close to death. Her body look’s like someone hacked on it for a while then rolled it around in the dirt. Hmm... Inuyasha is being so careful, Like she was made of glass and she was going to break. Even time Kagome express’ pain he apologizes. Maybe he will tell her how he feel’s, before it is to late.* Kaede sighed as she continued to mix herbs and wrap Kagome’s wounds.

Kirara, Shippo, Sango and Miroku made it to the village about two hours later. Kirara was not as fast as Inuyasha, and she had more people to carry. Kaede put them in an abandoned hut on the other side of the village and told them what she though of Kagome’s condition. Sango and Shippo burst into tears, and Miroku and Kirara tried to sooth them.

“ Are we allowed to go see her Kaede?” Miroku asked as her rubbed Sango’s back and no where close to her behind. [Hmm... he is not groping her.. I think the monk is Sick.. ;)]

“No, Let her have her rest. Inuyasha will watch over her.” Kaede had given her hut to Kagome and Inuyasha so she would be staying with the other’s for tonight. “ Let’s get to all patched up and into bed.”

“Kagome, im sorry I could not protect you. I promised and failed. I’m worthless, I do not deserve you...” Inuyasha was talking to a passed out Kagome, he thought.

“Inuyasha.. you are not worthless. And you tried to protect me...” Kagome was looking at the side of Inuyasha’s face seeing as how he would not look at her. * Inuyasha, you think so lowly of yourself. You are the strongest person I know. Mentally and physically. Why do you torment yourself, with false thoughts. God I love you so much and I want to tell you, but I know you do not feel the same about me. I know that Kikyo used you , and im sure you still love her. I wish you would come and wrap your arms around Me.. :mental sigh: I’m worthless. I could not even save myself. I need you Inuyasha, physically, and mentally.*

“Kagome..” Inuyasha’s arms wanting to hold her. *I want to hold her in my arms and tell her nothing bad will ever happen to her again. That she will be safe. She is so innocent and pure. I should not even breath the same air as her. *

A silence fell over the two till Kagome fell asleep. Inuyasha watched her sleep. He watched her chest rise and fall as she breathed. He loved to watch her sleep, some night’s he would stay awake a few hour’s, just to watch her. Inuyasha moved closed to Kagome. when he was about a foot from her he leaned against the wall. *Kagome, I wish I knew how you felt about me. I want to tell you that I realized that I love you. Not just because you are Kikyo’s reincarnation. No.. that is not even a reason why I love you. You are so strong. physically and mentally. You want me to stay the same when everyone wants me to change. you never thought badly of me, well.. except when I made you angry. But I always made you angry because I love the way you look. the way the blood rush’s to your face, or how you will ball up your fist’s. God Kagome, you have no flaws that I see. I feel like im in the presents of a angel.* Inuyasha’s thoughts were disrupted when Kagome cried out in pain and started to shake violently.

Inuyasha quickly was by her side saying sweet things in her ear. While he did that he slowly lifted her upper body up and slid in behind her. he lowered her head into his lap and stroked her hair. Slowly Kagome stopped shaking and a smile creped across her lips. he could hear her mumble something in her sleep but he could not make it out. Slowly he leaned in. * Maybe in I get close enough I can make out what she is saying.*

Inuyasha leaned so far that their nose’s almost touched. Inuyasha’s hair tickled Kagome and she slowly opened her eyes. Inuyasha sat straight up.

“Inuyasha? What are you doing?” Kagome asked as she wiped tried to blink the sleep from her eyes. Her arms would not move very far.

A blush crossed Inuyasha’s cheeks. “ You were having a bad dream I guess. You started to cry out and shake. I was worried.” Inuyasha just started to stroke her hair again. Inuyasha felt the muscle’s in her back relax. *That dream made her tense up so much. I wonder what she was dreaming about?*

“Inuyasha?” Kagome looked up into Inuyasha’ face.

“I know, I know, you want me to move.” Inuyasha started to get up but a quick no made him stay.

“NO!... I wanted to ask you a question.” Kagome started to blush.

* Well she must be getting some blood back if it can fill up her face.* Inuyasha mentally chuckled and settled back down.

“What is it?”

“How do you feel about me?” Kagome turned her head so she could see Inuyasha better.

* Oh Kami! What do I say!.. Why Kagome I love you more then the star’s in the sky! Haha, ya right. if I said that she would just laugh. if I said I loved her she would laugh at me... Right??. Well only one way to find out.* Inuyasha picked Kagome up and brought her to his chest. He wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his head on her shoulder. he could feel how tense she was as she awaited his answer.

“Kagome, I love you more then anything in the world. I have for a long time, but I was too proud to admit it. But after what happened I realized that, I truly loved you. Not because you are Kikyo’s reincarnation, but because you are you. Full of life and never seeing the bad side. You always accepted me. Never feared me. Even when I turned into a full-blooded demon. You would always save me. Bring me back. Kagome, you hold the key to my heart and I love you with all my being.” After he finished, he could smell her tears. He cringed.

*I just spilled my heart out and now she is crying. Im so stupid! God she will never love me. Im a fool.*

“Inuyasha, I’m so glad, because.. I love you too!” Kagome smiled.

Inuyasha was first shocked but then stood up with her in his arms. He swung her around so that she was now facing him. Kagome ignored the urge to scream in pain.

“Kagome, do you truly mean what you said. You could love me?!” Inuyasha still could not believe his ears. How could someone so pure love someone like him. Kagome saw the doubt in his eye’s and another tear escaped.

“Inuyasha I have loved you for a long time. Even when you would run to Kikyo and leave me behind. Even when you throw me down the well and told me never to come back...” Kagome never got to finish because Inuyasha kissed her. The kiss was full of passion. Kagome was at first shocked but then returned the kiss. Passion for Passion. Inuyasha tasted her lips with his tongue and soon she allowed him to taste the inside of her mouth. What seemed like a blessed eternity soon ended when they had to break for air. Kagome was breathing a little harder and Inuyasha pulled her to his chest. They stayed that way till Kagome’s leg’s gave out and they reality hit Inuyasha like a hammer.

“Kagome! Oh Kami, did I hurt you?” Inuyasha laid Kagome back onto her bed and looked her over. He could see that some of the wounds on her chest had started to bleed again and that she again smelled of death. *DAMN IT! Why am I such a BAKA!!!!!*

“Inuyasha, I will be fine. I just need to sleep.” Kagome moved over as best she could and padded the space she made. Inuyasha smiled and laid next to her. Inuyasha hesitated but slowly wrapped his arms around the miko.

* This feel’s so right. How in the seven hells did I get so lucky! Kami, if she dies because of me... im so stupid! making her move around so much when she should be sleeping. Maybe I should take her home? She could get all the rest she would need in that wonderfully comfortable bed!.. If she makes it through the night..* :sigh: Inuyasha laid his forehead on Kagome’s head and listened to her sleep.

* Damn it, she is still breathing too hard. An her pulse is racing. .. At least she is not having a Nightmare.* Slowly his eyelid’s closed and sleep called to him.

“KAGOME!”

“Inu.. Inuyasha.. Why? WHY DID YOU LET THIS HAPPEN!!...” Kagome hung her head and tear’s fell from her eyes. “ Inuyasha, I thought you where going to protect me, keep me safe... but you can’t can you?!” Kagome lifted her head and Inuyasha saw the arrow sticking out of her back and another in her leg. She also had a stab wound in her stomach.

“Kagome.. what happened?” Inuyasha fell to his knees as he tried to take Kagome in his arms. Kagome slapped his hands away and stood up.

“Y-You left me to go see her” Kagome whispered, “Now please, DIE!” Kagome stabbed Inuyasha in the heart.
“Kagome.. im sorry.”

Inuyasha woke in a cold sweat. He felt something.. no someone in his arm’s and there blood. When he looked down he saw Kagome. Inuyasha let go of her waist with one arm and ran it over her shoulders.

*A Dream... no nightmare. It felt so real...:sigh: It is almost dawn. Kagome’s breathing is still hard but her pulse has slowed down. SHIT, She is covered in blood. Her wounds must have started to bleed again...* Inuyasha removed his hands and reluctantly get up and get some water and new bandages. He cringed as he removed the bloody bandages. Slowly he started to clean the blood away when Kagome woke up.

“Inuyasha? What are you doing?” Kagome was surprised she was not glowing red.

“Im cleaning up wound’s and re-doing them. Tell me if it hurt’s ok?” Inuyasha’s voice was very soothing. Kagome was shocked. Usually he would have yelled. Slowly she nodded her head. Inuyasha was running the cloth over her left side when Kagome gasped in pain.

* KAMI! It feel’s like I was set a fire!!*

“Kagome. Shit.. Baka, baka, baka!!... Im So sorry!” Inuyasha’s eyes were full of pain as he tried to apologize.

“Inuyasha... it’s ok.’ Kagome put on a small smile and thanked Inuyasha when he was done.

“Feh!” Was all Inuyasha said and crossed his arms as he returned to his spot on the wall.

Kagome’s smiled brightened. * Finally.. back to his old self. =D
