InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Perfect Birthday Present ❯ To The Well ( Chapter 13 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
*Chapter 12*

AN: After reading this chapter the first time I realized something. What makes Kagome specail is the fact that she is just a human, not even from the time period, has had no training, and she can keep up with everyone. So do to that I have changed the story from here on. I hope you enjoy, oh and this is not all of the chapter, I just found a good place to end it till I can finish it. Didn't want to keep everyone waiting any longer :c)

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

Inu Yasha ran to the crumpled mess that was Kagome. She was still alive , just knocked unconsious from the blow. He could see the deep gashes in her side where the demon has caught her with its claws. Inu Yasha had to fight to keep his demon side from coming out. He was about to lose control when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Now is not the time for that, brother. You need to tend to Kagome while I take care of this pest." Though Sesshoumaru's face was his normal stoic one, you could clearly make out the worry and anger in his eyes.

Inu Yasha was too dumbfounded by his brother's actions to do anything more than nod in reasponse. He quickly turned his attention back to his injured friend. By that time the rest of the rag tag group had made it over to Kagome's side.

"Kagome...Kagome, please wake up!" When she didn't reaspond the kitsune burst into tears. Rin too was sobbing by her new found friend's side.

"Sango, why don't you take the children elsewhere till everything settles down here." Miroku said with a concerned look on his face. Sango nodded, grabbed Rin's trembling hand, then proceeded to pry the little fox's hands away from Kagome's still form. After a few attempts and protests she finaly managed to loosen his grip. Then she led the two children off into the woods with Kirara following close behind.

Miroku examined the wounds on her side, as he did so his face began to wrinkle more with worry.

"What Houshi, will she be ok?" the hanyou inquired.

"Her wounds are serious, if we don't get her to help soon she might not make it."

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

"You made a grave mistake, demon, by attacking those under this Sesshoumaru's protection." Sesshoumaru heard the demon chuckle.

"And just what are you going to do about it? You can't be much seeing how you travel with filth" the demon hissed.

He needed no more encouragement he quickly unsheathed the Tokijin and with a flick of his wrist the demon was defeated. He sheathed his sword then casually walked over to where Kagome lay, still unconsious.

Inu Yasha looked up at his brother, "we need to get her back to her time. She needs help and soon, her family will know what to do."

Both Miroku and Sesshoumaru nodded their heads in acknowledgement. Inu Yasha sent Miroku to get the others, when he returned shortly from retrieving them they all made their way to the well.

After they had gotten to the well Inu Yasha reached into Kagome's bag and pulled out the bottle containing the shards. He took the shards out and placed one shard in everyones hand. Noticing the puzzled looks he was getting from everyone he smiled.

"I'm sure she will want to see us all when she wakes, so we are all going." The confused looks were now gone and were replaced with looks of understanding. It wasn't just for Kagome, but for him as well, though he would never admit it.

Inu Yasha decided that it would be best if he was the last to go through the well. That way he could make sure they all could pass through it. After the last of the group had gone through he went himself. Unlike last time he tried to go through, when he looked up there was a roof over his head. He had made sure to keep a shard to improve his chances of getting to the other side of the well.

The group followed the two brothers out of the well shrine. When they exited theirs eyes went wide from shock.

Sango gasped, "Gods, I had no idea it would be like this!"

They continued on to Kagome's house. It was as if Kagome's mother had a sixth sense because as soon as they stepped up to the front door she came busting out of it.

She looked down at her daughter, her face blanched, and the tears came to her eyes. "What happened to my baby?" Her tears were coming freely now, especialy after she had seen the look on Inu Yasha's face.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Higurashi, I failed both you and her. I co...couldn't protect her." The tears of anger and sadness he had been holding back since it happened started to pour down his face.

Kagome's mother let a brief smile cross her face. "Inu Yasha, don't be so hard on yourself. You brought her home didn't you?"

"But I couldn't...." The look he was getting from Mrs. Higurashi was enough to stop him dead in his tracks.

"Come on, we need to get her to the hospital." With that said they all piled into the car and headed off to take Kagome to the hospital.
