After only a few moments InuYasha had finally reached the village where Kagome was waiting nervously at Kaede's. He burst inside, blood soaked and all from the person he carried on his back.

"Kagome, old lady, this guy needs help, fast!" They both nodded and did all they could do. Using some rags Kagome was wiping blood off the front, and Kaede cleaning the back. Then came the part Kagome feared most...sewing the wounds shut. She rummaged through her backpack to find the medical kit she had and found her sterilized needles and thread. She gulped and started to sew the wounds shut. Again with her in the front and Kaede in the back.

After a bit of sewing, Kagome sat back and let out a sigh of relief.

"THAT was one heck of a hard time. I always hate doing things so in depth like that. I get nervous and think I'm gonna mess up." She felt woozy and uncoordinated. *At least the worst is over, now all we have to do is bandage this guy. This is a guy right?*

She turned to Kaede and said she would take care of the bandaging and thanked her for her help. As she began wrapping, she noticed a tatoo on the wounded man's back. It looked oddly familiar and she couldn't quite place it. And all of a sudden, she knew what it was. It was the map from her dreams! That same path of arrows! It was all too weird. *I just arrived and all...this.....happens........* She fainted. InuYasha was up in a flash, catching Kagome as she fell to the floor.

"What the hell just happened?!?! What did he do to her?" He was ready to kill.

"Now now, InuYasha. With all that has happened, the excitement must have gotten to her and she passed out. It's normal. She's been under a lot of stress in so short amount of time," Kaede consoled. InuYasha's own tension dropped a bit at those words, but he still didn't think what had happened had been caused by her quick surgery performance.



A few hours later Kagome woke up in the same hut she had been in earlier. Only this time the man had been bandaged and was lying in a corner. InuYasha, as always, was intently watching her. She blushed,

"How long have I been out?" She asked quietly, still slightly disoriented.

"Only a few hours, it's still daytime," he replied. "Kaede finished bandaging this guy up, and I laid you down over here. What happened? I've never seen you so weak at the sight of blood before."

Her eyes grew wide, *should I tell him? About the dream, and the tatoo?* InuYasha growled,

"What is it? You all right?" She nodded her head.

"Yeah I'm fine. And no, it wasn't the blood that caused me to faint. There was something on that guy's back. It was a tatoo of a bunch of arrows, pointing in every direction. It's just like the one from my dreams. I need to talk to this guy as soon as possible."

InuYasha just scoffed, "Yeah, maybe after you rest for a bit. And you wouldn't guess it by looking, but that guy over there is a fox daemon." Kagome could only cock her head in confusion. InuYasha continued, "Yeah, you can't really tell, but his fur has been cut off, and from the wounds he had earlier, he's had the shit beat outta him. His fur should grow back in a day or so. That parts no big deal. The injuries however, might take a bit of time.

Kagome stared at the daemon's body. She wanted answers and she wanted them now. But, she was still reasonable and wanted to wait until this newcomer had woken on his own.
