Save The Girl!

Disclaimer: yadda, yadda, I don't own Inuyasha or his friends.

Recap:

`Damnit!' She cursed in her mind. Her life just got ten time's harder, now that she had to protect not only her sister's, but her best friends and their father, too.

Any ordinary person would have given up at that moment, they would have killed them selves on the spot just because they were to afraid of the pain they would have to go through when Naraku found them, but Kagome wasn't exactly your ordinary human, was she? No, she couldn't kill herself, nor did she want to, she had loved ones to protect, and nothing, not even the devil himself could stop her from keeping them safe.

A smirk curled onto Kagome's lips. `Watch out Naraku, because if you try to lay one finger on them, I WILL kill you…and I will enjoy it to…'

Silent Vows of Protection and Love

Everyone sat around Kagome's bed while they looked at the TV, they were looking at it but they weren't really seeing it. They were to deep in their own thoughts to even notice that no one else was paying attention either.

Inuyasha glanced towards the girl of his affections and frowned. She looked so pale and sickly, and yet, when she sensed him looking at her, she flashed him a small smile and then looked back towards the TV.

`God Dammit!!' Inuyasha thought, how could Kagome act so...so… so calm!! Wasn't she worried? Did she even care that her father could pop out of no where and kill them?!

No, of course she cared, but shouldn't she be crying? I mean it wasn't that he wanted her to cry or anything, actually he hated it when girls cried. It's just that he knew that she had gone through a traumatic experience and any normal girl would be in tears right now, but then again, she wasn't any ordinary girl, was she? And come to think of it, he's only seen her cry once in the 5 months that he's known her.

Inuyasha kept glancing back and forth between Kagome and the TV. For some odd reason, he felt nervous, like something was wrong and every time he looked at Kagome the feeling escalated, but why?

Come to think of it, he didn't even really know what really happened to her in the first place, all he knew was that Naraku had beaten her up, but something was nagging at him in the back of his mind, but he just couldn't quiet pin point it.

He started to think about that day he found Kagome lying on the ground bloody and naked, and how her eye's seemed so hollow, how no breath left her lips… Wait!! Why was she naked!!!?

Inuyasha looked back at Kagome, His eyes widening as he tried to think of some natural reason why she was naked. Was it because she was in the shower when he attacked her? No, that wouldn't make sense with what Shippou and Rin said…Shippou! He was so frantic when they found him, and what he said… what exactly did he mean by “Put her in her place”?

Inuyasha shook his head desperately, trying to expel the thoughts entering his head, but it didn't work. Something had gone terribly wrong that day, and if Naraku did what he thought he did…

Inuyasha stood up and growled viciously, turning everyone's attention on him.

“Inuyasha? What's wrong?” Kagome asked worriedly as she looked into his eyes for any hint at what was bothering him.

Inuyasha met her eyes with his own and had to bite down a gasp, Sango was right! Her eye's seemed so sad, like something had broken or like something was taken away.

Inuyasha turned his head quickly and walked towards the door. “I'm going for a walk.” He replied gruffly as he walked out the door.

Everyone turned to look at Kagome curiously as she just stared at the door sadly. Kagome quickly pulled the bed covers off of her and gentle placed her feet on the ground.

“Kagome!! What are you doing?!” Sango cried.

“I need to talk to him.” Kagome said firmly as she stood on shaky feet. She barely took one step and her knees gave way making her fall towards the ground. She heard everyone call out her name as she closed her eye's, preparing herself for the impact… but it never came as she suddenly found herself held by a pair of strong arms and an overwhelming feeling of safety.

She had never felt so safe in her entire life!! Kagome slowly looked up into a pair of beautiful golden eyes.

“Kagome, Are you ok?” Inuyasha asked quietly with worry laced in his voice as he looked down at the beautiful girl now safely in his arms.

Kagome blinked. “Y-yes, I'm fine.” Then she blushed. “Thank you for catching me…”

“What did you think you were doing? You know that you're not supposed leave your bed, you're still to weak.” He whispered angrily, but his eye's held no real anger, just concern and… something else she couldn't quiet understand.

Kagome smiled warmly. “I'm fine Inuyasha, see? You caught me, so there's nothing to worry about.”

Inuyasha frowned. “Yeah but what if I'm not here to catch you next time?”

“Well then I'll just fall.” Kagome whispered so low that if it wasn't for Inuyasha's sharp hearing, he probably would have never heard it.

“Then I guess I'll just have to take you with me where ever I go.” He said to her before he hoisted her into his arms, bridal style, and carried her out of the room.

Everyone just blinked after them. “Ok, what just happened?” Miroku thought out loud.

“That's a good question Miroku, we'll ask them later.” Sango replied as she turned back to the Television as if nothing had happened. Everyone just looked at each other and shrugged before they looked back at the TV. They all knew that as long as Kagome was with Inuyasha, she would be safe, so they all went back to their thoughts.

“Where are you taking me?” Kagome asked as Inuyasha carried her down the halls of the hospital to some unknown place.

“To a place.” He answered bluntly making Kagome glare at him. It wasn't like she didn't trust him. On the contrary, she has never felt as safe as she did when she was in his arms and that's saying a lot for her, but she just didn't like not knowing things, it made her uncomfortable.

Inuyasha chuckled at the look she was giving him, happy to know that she was starting to act normal again.

Inuyasha turned down the hall and headed towards the back exit of the hospital.

“Sir… SIR!! Wait!! Where are you going with that patient?!” A woman sitting at the back desk asked.

Inuyasha stopped, looked at the woman and just when he was about to answer, Kagome beat him to it. “Don't worry ma'am, he's just taking me out for some fresh air, we'll be back in a moment.” She said with a small smile.

The woman looked at them suspiciously. “Ok, but at least take a wheel chair. It must be terribly uncomfortable for you to be held that way.”

Inuyasha immediately looked down at Kagome to see what her response was, worried that she might not like being in his arms.

“Thank you but to be perfectly honest, I'm happy where I am.” She said truthfully making Inuyasha's heart swell with pride at the meaning of her words.

The woman then smiled and nodded, and with that Inuyasha turned and walked out of the hospital into their garden.

The hospital garden was a beautiful place where their patients could roam freely and breathe some fresh air. There were flowers everywhere and benches sat in random areas. Inuyasha chuckled as he watched Kagome look around in child like awe as he brought her to one bench that sat directly under a Sukura tree.

“Wow! It's all so beautiful!!” Kagome sighed happily. “I didn't know this hospital had such a beautiful garden.”

“What do you mean by that? You've been here before?” Inuyasha asked curiously, but when Kagome's face saddened and she looked down into her lap as she wriggled her hands, he started to worry.

“Kagome?”

“Yes?”

“Are you going to answer my question?”

“Yes, Inuyasha, I have been here before…”

Inuyasha looked at her suspiciously. “What for?”

Kagome started to squirm a little. “Kagome?”

“Which time?” She asked him suddenly.

“Which time, what?” He asked confused.

“Which time do you want me to tell you about?” She asked quietly.

Inuyasha's eyes widened. “Kagome, how many times have you been to this hospital?!”

“I-I don't know, I l-lost count…” Her voice cracked as old memories, bad memories ran threw her mind.

Inuyasha grabbed her chin gently and pulled her face to look up at him and his heart nearly broke. Silent tears rolled down her still bruised cheeks as she held her eyes adverted from him as if she was ashamed of something.

“Kagome, why are you crying?” He asked her softly.

Kagome chocked back a sob when her eyes met with his, he looked so sad! As if her pain hurt him as well.

“I don't know why.” She cried softly as she looked back at the ground again, trying to hide her tears from him. She hated how weak they made her feel, how much pain she felt when she cried. She didn't know why it hurt her so badly or why she felt so weak but she couldn't let Inuyasha see her like this. The last thing she wanted him to do was think she was just a weak little girl.

“Kagome look at me.” He said sternly but she ignored him.

“Please look at me, Kagome.” He begged.

“I can't”

“Why not, did I do something wrong?” He asked sadly, making her heart swell with guilt.

“No, you didn't do anything wrong, Inuyasha.”

“Then why can't look at me?”

And her barrier finally broke. “Because you'll think I'm weak!” She sobbed.

Inuyasha couldn't help anymore as he pulled a sobbing Kagome into his arms, hugging her tightly to his chest.

“Shh, Kagome. How can you think that I would think that? Kagome, to me, you are the strongest person I have ever met. Why would I ever think that you're weak?” He said soothingly as he gently rubbed her back.

“Because crying is a sign of weakness…” Kagome mumbled into his chest.

“Who told you that?” Inuyasha asked, feeling angry that she would think something like that.

“Daddy said that crying…” She started but before she could finish, Inuyasha pulled her away from his body as held her firmly but gently by her arms in front of him.

She looked into his eyes in confusion only to change to shock as his eyes burned with rage.

“Never EVER go by what you're asshole of a father has ever said!! Whatever crazy delusional crap he fed you was a lie!! Kagome, you are the bravest, strongest and most beautiful person I have ever met and nothing, not even crying, can ever make you look any lesser to me, do you understand me?!!” He blurted out furiously, he was so angry at her father right now that he didn't even care that he had revealed so much of his feelings to Kagome.

Kagome stared at him with wide eyes, to shocked to say anything or do anything but nod her head dumbly.

“Good” Inuyasha said as he pulled her back into his embrace. It infuriated him that her father had gotten her to believe crap like that, he could only wonder what other delirious crap Naraku had fed her. The thought of all the times Naraku had probably hit her, or berated her made his blood boil. He couldn't help it any longer, His inner demon was crying out for blood, for revenge for his future mate.

Inuyasha didn't know what happened the night he had almost lost his Kagome, but he knew that it wasn't good. Something deep inside of him was telling him that there was more to that night than what they were told, but he would wait for Kagome's wounds to heal before he asked her further on it, but that wouldn't stop him from asking Sango and Shippou.

Inuyasha looked down at a now calmly sleeping Kagome and smiled softly as he brushed a tassel of her hair behind her ear but then his eyes hardened into determination.

`Don't worry Kagome, I won't let Naraku ever hurt you or you're sisters again, because the next time he even comes with in a mile of you, I`ll kill him.' He silently vowed.
