InuYasha swore and flexed his wounded shoulder. He hadn't taken a look at it and assumed it would be fine, but it had been hurting for two days.
Kagome looked from her ever present expanding yellow bag. When he thought she couldn't see InuYasha had been gripping his shoulder since the fight.
She felt kinda bad for him, but she still hadn't forgiven the selfish bastard. She looked down in the bag and fished out the medical kit. She didn't know much, but maybe she could help. If anything, it would make him less irritable.
She grabbed it and walked up behind him. "InuYasha?" She asked in the disarming voice she had learned to use when she didn't want to set him off.
"What?" He asked, looking behind him. Kagome held the kit out.
"Do you want me to take a look at your shoulder?" "Wha?" InuYasha asked, the question seemingly lost on him.
"Well, you've been holding your shoulder alot, and I was wondering if you got hurt in the fight." "Wha? No, it's fine. I heal alot quicker than you humans." "You're gonna continue to be irritable until it heals, let me at least take a look at it!" "No it's fine! And it doesn't make me irritable!" "You're being irritable right now! What, are you embarrassed!? Let me see!" "If anything, it should be the other way around!" "Well.. wait, what? Never mind! Just let me see it or I'll you-know-what your ass!"
InuYasha stared at her, but she refused to back down. "Aright, fine." he muttered turning back around, dropping his jacket and pulling off his Tshirt.
Kagome's hands tightened on the kit. His entire back was covered by scars. 'Jesus, so many scars..' She thought numbly, searching for the wound among the marks. 'Jesus, what the hell has he been through.?'
InuYasha smirked to himself when he heard Kagome's sharp intake of breath. 'Never seen someone so messed up, eh girl? Course, could be something else, but I doubt that with her.'
Kagome found the wound on his shoulder. It was a good sized gash that looked halfway healed. 'And he heals faster than normal? Jesus, what did it look like before?' Kagome thought.
"Si- ... you know what I mean." Kagome caught herself. InuYasha felt a warm hand on his shoulder and let out a hiss of pain as she pushed down on it.
"Sorry." Kagome muttered quietly. 'Jesus, I knew he hadn't had an easy life, but Jesus. He prolly coulda avoided half this, but still.' She thought spraying some antiseptic on the wound. InuYasha winced but stayed silent.
"Hey, InuYasha?" "Yeah?" InuYasha answered, pulling his jacket over to him. "Something has been bugging me.." "Yeah?" He said absentmindedly, fishing in the jacket pockets.
"Well, when you were out after.. well after the explosion, I tried to feel for a pulse, but I didn't feel anything. I probably missed, but is that a half demon thing?" "What do you care?" InuYasha asked cynically, finding his smokes in one of the pockets.
"Well.. I'm curious I guess. I just wanna know." She answered truthfully. InuYasha sighed. 'Well, what's the harm in telling? Besides, I don't want her thinkin' I'm dead somewhere down the road and leaving me there.'
"No, I don't have a heartbeat, but no it's not a half demon thing. I've been like that since about a month and a half ago. The blood still moves, but I ain't got a pulse."
Kagome stopped for a second. "Really?" She asked in interest.
"Yepp." "Let me see!" She demanded, jabbing him in the neck with two fingers. Sure enough, no pulse. "Weird.." She muttered, withdrawing her fingers. Just to be sure, she put her first two fingers on his neck again.
InuYasha tilted his head to his left to statisfy her curiousty. Kagome held her fingers there for a moment, then withdrew slower than last time.
Kagome went back to her work. 'A month and a half ago..' She did the math in her head. 'That woulda been... about right when he came out of the coma. So when the former guardian shot him, his heart stopped, but it never started again. Damn. It's like another universe out here.'
'Damn, she seems interested.. and sympathatetic.. maybe.. if I play my cards right..' A plan popped into InuYasha's head.
"There, done." Kagome finished. InuYasha stood up and got dressed again. "Is it still sore?" InuYasha couldn't believe it. She had given him the perfect opportunity! "Yeah, but it's only real bad when ya put pressure on it. Like with those sits.." InuYasha trailed off, praying he kept the hopefulness out of his voice.
"Oh, I didn't know." Kagome said quietly. "I'm sorry, I'll lay off."
'Ha, HAAA!' InuYasha's mind screamed in triumph. 'It worked! Haha! Score one for the bad guy!'
