InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Through the Well ❯ Quick thinking saves lives ( Chapter 5 )

Sango slowly got to her feet, the pain surged through her ankle, but she wasn't going to give up. She watched in horror as the man strangled Kagome. 'That's Kagome's father!' She thought angrily. Once she sa3 Kagome's eyes close, Sango became enraged herself. Her ankle had no longer hurt as she leaped on to Kagome's' father's back. She wrapped he4r legs around his waist locking them around him. She put his upper body in a lock ad jammed her chin into a pressure point like Miroku had shown her.

*Memory*

"If you push down on this pressure point long enough, your enemy will be knocked unconscious. Here watch." Miroku said demonstrating on Inuyasha.

"What the fu---"Inuyasha started, his eyes closed and he fell to the ground.

Kagome's father yelled and tore his grasp from Kagome as he tried to get Sango from off his back. Sango watched wide eyed as Kagome stood for a moment then collapse to the ground. Tears poured from Sango's own eyes as she pressed down harder.

"Damn you!" she growled as she gritted her teeth.

Soon the man's cursing slurred as his movement slowed down drastically. She could feel him relax, as he grew unconscious. Sango jumped off of him as he tumbled to the ground face first. With out thinking she pulled the long ribbon from her hair ad bound Kagome's father's hands to the well house stair well railing. Then she rushed over to Kagome's aide.

"Oh, please be alive." Sango cried as she searched for a heartbeat.

After finding a faint one, she pulled on Kagome's backpack and slowly put Kagome on her shoulder. At first it was easy to carry Kagome and her pack into the well house. Sango dripped with sweat as she climbed up onto the well holding Kagome. She slid and went down the well where she was greeted with the same deep blue light as before. Sango rested a bit, breathing heavily as she looked up for a safe way out of the well, spotting some vines she made her way up with only the backpack. When she got to the top she tossed it to the ground and slowly climbed back down for Kagome.

Sango wiped the crusted blood off Kagome's face. Which only gave way for more to ooze down her pale face. The demon slayer sighed as she pulled Kagome onto her back and slowly made her way up the vines once more.

"Why haven't they came back yet?" Inuyasha groaned as she paced back and forth.

"Ye must be patient Inuyasha, Miroku said they were only getting a few things from Kagome's time." Kaede said as she cooked dinner.

"Hey. How did everyone find out her name anyway?" he asked impatiently.

"Lady Sango and Shippo asked, and nicely I presume. Since your tactics didn't work." Miroku said entering the small hut with Shippo on his shoulder.

"Well I haven't even hear a word from her mouth yet, so how do I know if they aren't lying?" Inuyasha stubbornly said crossing his arms over his chest.

"You're just going to have to trust us you jerk." Shippo whined.

Kirara suddenly woke up from her naps and growled angrily as she ran out of the hut. She mewed at Inuyasha, who also ran out of the hut. The cat demon burst into flames as she transformed into her larger form. Miroku came out of the hut confused, followed by Shippo and Kaede.

"Miroku, get on Kirara. Something's wrong." Inuyasha growled as he took off towards the forest.

The monk climbed onto Kirara's back and held on for dear life when he had almost fallen off of her back as she took off into the air.

Sango climbed out of the well and fell to the ground, she panted as sweat rolled down her face. Gently she pulled Kagome onto her lap and checked out the wounds that she could see. Kagome's lip was busted and still bleeding, she had a rather small bruise on her cheek and from what Sango could see a large one forming around her exposed neck.

The demon slayer sighed heavily as she lain Kagome on the ground and stood semi-straight. She'd twisted her ankle. Sango inhaled deeply and let out a loud and long whistle, hoping it would reach Kirara's ears, before nightfall. Sango then slouched back to the ground and hunched over Kagome's body, praying for a miracle.

_______________________________________________________

Inuyasha was the first to reach Sango and Kagome, he could smell the blood from a little ways off. He knelt by Sango's side. Miroku jumped from Kirara's back and ran towards the hanyou.

"They're alive." Inuyasha whispered glancing at the worried monk. "Put Sango on Kirara and rush to Kaede's, I'll follow."

Miroku nodded as he gently picked up the semi-conscious demon slayer.

"Inuyasha, be careful, he did quite a number on her." Sango whined barely above a whisper as she clutched Miroku's robes.

Before Inuyasha could say anything Miroku was seated on Kirara with a zoned out Sango on his lap and they were already in the air on their way quickly to Kaede's village.

The hanyou carefully wiped the blood from Kagome's lip and noticed every exposed bruise and scratch. Gently he picked her up, when he noticed a rather large pack strap in her hand. He frowned completely confused as he hoisted the heavy thing onto one of his shoulders. Then he turned with Kagome securely in his arms and headed as quick as he could back to the village.

________________________________________________________

Kaede waited outside her hut for Inuyasha and Miroku to return. It was getting harder to see as the sun set behind the mountain and the elderly woman grew worried, but she sighed heavily when she had spotted Miroku and Kirara coming quickly from a distance. As they landed Sango climbed off the cat demon's back and limped over to Kaede.

"Kagome's hurt pretty badly." Sango said calmly.

"And what about ye my child?" Kaede asked watching Sango limp slightly.

"I am fine. I only twisted my ankle. Tomorrow it will be as good as new." The demon slayer replied as she walked passed Kaede and into the hut.

Inuyasha arrived a moment later. He didn't bother stopping to explain why it had taken him so long, he went right inside the small hut and sat down. Kagome still in his arms, Kaede and Miroku walked inside and the elderly priestess went straight to her herbs and pulled out a tiny sewing needle and thread.

"Ye are going to have to wake up Kagome while I prepare." Kaede said glancing at Inuyasha.

He nodded and looked down at Kagome, 'She looks so peaceful' he told himself as he gently shook her shoulder. "Kagome, wake up."

Kagome groaned as she shifted her weight. She could feel the warmth of somebody's body against hers, feeling strong hands on her shoulders her body tensed as she opened her eyes. At first everything she saw was blurry, she blinked a few times letting the blurs become clearer. She saw Inuyasha staring at her with his amber orbs. A blush crept over her face as she reached up and touched the hanyou's cheek. She could see his face turn a bright red at her touch.

"Am I dead?" she whispered.

"No, ye are not." Kaede said smirking as she watched the two teenagers.

Kaede sat down in front of Kagome and handed her some herbs telling her to eat them. Reluctantly Kagome sat up and took the herbs. She had had a bitter taste in her mouth as she chewed and swallowed the plants. Miroku chuckled at the young girl's bitter face..

Kagome glared angrily at the monk who became quiet. Inuyasha felt it was his turn to laugh, but at Miroku. Kaede rolled her eyes as she began to stitch up Kagome's lip. The young maiden winced in pain and clenched her fists as the needle pierced her skin and went through her lip.

Inuyasha watched Kagome clench and unclench her hand as the tip of the needle went into her tiny lip. Unconsciously while Kagome's had relaxed, Inuyasha slipped his hand into her grasp. She closed her fingers around his palm and blushed crept over both of their faces.

Kaede smiled, 'They are getting along so well,' she though as she cut the string and knotted it so the stitches would come undone.

"Finished," Kaede sighed getting up and walking into another room.

"Thank you Lady Kaede." Kagome smiled. She looked around to see Miroku asleep next to Shippo and Kirara who also were asleep.

'Kagome has such a wonderful voice,' Inuyasha told himself as he realized that that was the first thing she had said in front of him. He became tense as Kagome leaned back against him, she put her head on his shoulder and held onto his outer jacket. ((dunno what it's called..sorry))

_______________________________________________________

A few days had quickly gone by and the gang grew closer. Sango started teaching Kagome how to fight, Miroku and Shippo would leave with Kaede in the mornings to help with the villagers, and Inuyasha and Kirara wold rather go hunting or watch the two maidens do combat. Yeah, everything had grown peaceful, Kagome had began to speak a lot more including in aimless arguments with Inuyasha.

Inside the hut was Sango, who was busy making lunch while Miroku, Shippo and the napping Kirara waited patiently. Kaede had gone off to another near by village to help deliver a baby.

"Is it done yet Lady Sango?" Miroku asked childlessly.

"No, and if you ask me again, I'll hurt you." She replied irritably.

Miroku pouted then sighed mostly to himself, "Must be that time of the month again." THWACK! Out of no where Sango's boomerang bashed into Miroku's unsuspecting skull, knocking him unconscious. Sango smiled victoriously and with a giggling Shippo she went back to preparing lunch.

Kagome smiled as she watched her surroundings, there was a nice cool breeze and everything seemed to be in harmony. She stood in a meadow by the edge of the forest, and it was so beautiful.

"I could stay here forever." She sighed to herself.

________________________________________________________

Inuyasha silently watched Kagome from a cherry blossom tree. He found himself practically doing nothing but watching her. He couldn't help himself, she was gorgeous, and he'd fallen in love with her while she slept in his arms. The hanyou's body grew warm and his face flushed. 'Why does she make me feel this way? Why can't I make a decision without me knowing if she approves? Why do I long for her touch?' he asked himself.

He was infatuated with what she wore, and how they made her look. She wore a long black skirt, on one side it stopped at a little passed her knee and on the other it went all the way down to her ankle. The skirt wasn't so restricting and it sort of blew in the gentle wind. She had on black spaghetti strapped shirt that shown off her chest without any cleavage. Her long hair was left down, some curls swirled in the breeze.

Inuyasha noticed that she still had on no shoes, he thought she looked free, like a deer in the wild, such beauty. Though, she did carry around a small little device that she had described as a c.d. player. She'd shown him how to hook it to his clothing, so he wouldn't have to carry it around in his claws. The things she called headphones were draped over her once badly bruised neck. He winced at the remembrance of her being hurt.

"I could stay here forever." Kagome sighed.
