InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Sleeping Mistake ❯ Sunrise ( Chapter 5 )

I am so confused. So many ways to spell these damn words, so please don't yell at me if I choose the wrong one. Hopefully I'll spell them right at least once.

I don't own Inuyasha.

Sunrise

Our eyes locked, and I felt a river of blood pour from my heartache. A numbness ran over my body.

Kagome's eyes widened, and her grip on the arrow impaling me slipped. The first light of day shown into the room, "Inuyasha," she said on a breath.

I tried to respond, but instead my mouth filled with blood, and all I could do was look as the blood trickled down the side of my mouth.

"Inuyasha what have I done?" her eyes were on the arrow. It protruded from my shoulder. The arrow went through my back; pinning me to the wall. A memory crossed my mind of Kikyo pinning me to the God Tree. This time, though, things would be different. This time I won't be able to be resurrected.

I lifted a shaky hand to the side of her face and wiped away her tears, "Ka…go…me," I felt my strength leaving me.

"I saw what I was doing, but I couldn't stop myself. It was like something else was controlling me. This voice was screaming for you to die," Her hand reached up, and she placed it over top of mine.

I felt the life draining from me. Kagome's face became blurry. I fought to keep her into focus, "It… has to… come…out," I breathed, "Pull it…out,"

She looked deep into my eyes, and wrapped her hands around the arrow. I braced myself, and she pulled. A purple light surrounded us. It emanated from the arrow, and spread to encircle Kagome and I. I felt it become dislodged from the wall, and it slid out of my body. I called out in pain, but could barely hear myself over the rushing pain coursing through my being. The arrow was tossed to the side, but the light did not leave us. Instead, it pulsed out of Kagome.

I looked down at my blood covered hands. Inuyasha's blood. The light is coming from me now. Why? A voice sounded in my head. The same voice as before. Touch your hand to his wound. You can purify and heal him. Touch him before it is to late. The creatures are coming from the underworld for him. Hurry before they take him from you.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

She placed her hands over the hole in my shoulder and pressed down. My head tipped back, and I yelled in anguish. I felt my eyes go blank. They morphed into empty golden shells, and just before I passed out I saw Kagome's eyes do the same.

Shippo sat shaking in the corner. He was terrified by the sounds emitting from behind the closed door. Screams of terror and pain then an eerie silence.

The sunlight from the rising sun poured into the room, and Kaede walked in. She was covered in dirt.

Sango and I looked at her warily, "Are you alright?" I questioned.

"Why did ye just leave me out there to sweep the dirt?" Kaede seemed agitated.

"You wouldn't listen to us, so we left you to your devices,"

Kaede looked at me and narrowed her eyes, "You could have tried hard, Miroku. Instead of handing me a broom,"

I chuckled uneasily, "So you remember,"

She just glared back, "What were those horrible screams?"

Sango spoke up this time, "It's Inuyasha, and Kagome. We tried to get in, but there's a barrier,"

"It's gone now," Kaede walked over to the door and pushed it open.

I jumped up and joined the others as we entered the room. Sango grabbed Shippo before he could see past us, "This may not be good for you to see Shippo. Please let us look first,"

"But Sango; I've already seen so much. Whatever's in that room can't be worse," Shippo bargained.

"No, it's worse," I turned away from the sight displayed before me, "Stay away Shippo,"

Looks of concern crossed Sango's and Shippo's faces. Sango walked slowly towards the door, and Shippo backed back into the corner he spent all night in.

What Miroku said sent a shiver of terror down my spine. We shouldn't have let Inuyasha into that room.

I walked ahead into the room. Inuyasha and Kagome lay naked, sprawled on the ground against the far wall. Blood had spilled down the wall, and a small pool was made at its base. Inuyasha had most of the blood on him. It ran in a river down his front, and out the side of his mouth. Kagome only had blood on her hands, and on her foot because it lay in the puddle near the wall. Inuyasha and Kagome held each other like lovers in a Macabre scene.

Tears collected in my eyes, and Miroku stepped in front of me, hiding the gruesome picture of Inuyasha and Kagome, "Sango," He whispered my name, and enveloped me in his embrace.

"Will you two knock it off. They are fine," Kaede was hovering over our friend's bodies.

"What do you mean?" Miroku turned out of our encirclement, and I missed his heat, but I would never voice it.

"They are only unconscious. If you look closer then you'll see that Inuyasha doesn't have a scratch on him,"

"Then where does all this blood come from?" Miroku questioned.

"It seems to me that Kagome healed him, and, because it took so much energy, collapsed shortly after,"

We walked over to Inuyasha, and looked his body over. Shortly after, I turned away, a blush blooming across my features.

Miroku chuckled, "Your first time seeing that huh?"

- - - - - - - - - - - -

She slapped me for my question, but it was obvious what she saw, and that made the pain worth it.

"Shut up, Miroku!"

"What? It was an honest question,"

"I was being polite! I'm sure Inuyasha wouldn't like me staring at him when he's like that!"

"No, but I bet he would rather be awake,"

"You hentai!" She slapped me again. Her face was almost as red as my face, but my face had been hit, "Besides, I'm sure Kagome doesn't want you looking at her body, so leave!" She pointed to the door.

I raised an eyebrow, "Want a better look at Inuyasha without me around?"

I watched her jaw drop, "Miroku!"

"Will both of you leave before you wake them both up," Kaede broke our fight up.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Miroku and Sango left the room, and shortly after a resounding slap filled the air. Those two need to get together already before everyone drowns in the sexual tension surrounding them.

I turned to Inuyasha and Kagome. What happened?

- - - - - - - - - - - -

I slowly awoke from a deep slumber. First I heard birds singing outside. Then I felt the warm sheets on my body. I opened my eyes to find a ceiling with sunlight streaked across it. I moaned slightly and turned over. My breath caught in my throat. Inuyasha was lying next to me. I sat up quickly and looked down at his face. He looks peaceful. I touched my hand to his cheek. Why isn't he awake? Usually the slightest movement wakes him.

The door opened and Kaede walked in, "Ah, Kagome ye are awake," A slight redness was coloring her cheeks.

"Will he be alright?"

"Of course. He is just unconscious," Kaede set clothing down by the bed. It was Inuyasha's and some kimono of some sort.

"What are those for?" I inquired.

"You are naked lady Kagome," She turned and left. I looked down at myself. Oh my gods. What could she have been thinking. The sheet that was covering me now laid at my waist. Where it fell when I sat up. I was flashing her. Ugh, how many times am I going to be embarrassed in this era?

I climbed out of the bed checking to make sure Inuyasha wasn't awake. The kimono Kaede gave me wasn't one of Kikyo's old ones, but looked brand new. It was red and had gold leaves scattered across it. It was beautiful.

After I got dressed I climbed back into bed with Inuyasha. I spread my body over his, and fell asleep again while listening to his heartbeat. For some reason I felt closer to him.

"Koga you can't go in there! Let her sleep!" I struggle to keep the massive wolf from plowing right into the room, and destroying the romance being shared.

"I can smell her! I know she's in there! She has that god damn mutt's scent all over her! If he's in there with her now, I'll kill him!"

"Koga, just let her sleep. She has been through a lot recently. Wait until tomorrow,"

He growled, "She has until dawn, but if that Dog shit is in there with her right now I'll kill him!"

I watched Koga retreat outside, and disappear in a whirl of wind.

"Miroku what do we do?" Sango asked.

"Pray that Inuyasha wakes up,"

Well, what do ya think? Ha, twist. Got to love it. R & r please.
