Kagome gasped in horror when she reached the barely conscious hanyou. He was flat on his back with at least a dozen shallow knife wounds on his chest, neck, and face. Her eyes trailed down his body finding blood stains covering his pants, from his chest or from concealed knife wounds she didn’t know.
“Inuyasha!” She cried running over and collapsing at his side. He opened one eye that was slowly turning crimson, the gold in his eyes bruising before lightening to electric blue. “Inuyasha, don’t change, don’t.” She whispered before leaning down to kiss him softly. He groaned and kissed her back as a shudder ran through his body.
When she pulled away a pair of amber eyes was staring up at her. “Sango bring the medical kit down here please?” Kagome asked keeping her eyes locked on his. The sound of Sango’s footsteps seemed to echo through the dungeon. When the footfalls had quieted Kagome smiled gently at her friend. “Inuyasha, what happened?” She asked quietly as she pulled his head into her lap. He leaned his face into her stomach and groaned in pain. “Se…sexual tortures…weren’t changing me…” he hissed in pain, leaning away from her stomach, the numerous cuts on his face leaving blood to stain her shirt, “changing me fast enough… Physical torture…” He coughed and took a deep breath, wincing as his ribs expansion pulled his skin taunt making his cuts hurt and bleed.
Kagome gasped as tears filled her eyes as his cough left small flakes of blood on his chest. “Oh Inuyasha.” He grunted and she looked back up meeting his gaze. “Stop that… no tears.” He said on a whisper. He tried to lift his mouth into a smile but his pain turned it into more of a grimace. His ears twitched when he heard someone coming down the stairs.
“Here Kagome.” Sango said as she emerged from the dark staircase. Kagome held her hand out never breaking her gaze with Inuyasha. The girl handed over the first aid kit and finally Kagome looked away to search for what she needed. She glanced at the multitude of injuries with a grimace, which will need stitches, which will need just bandages? She thought, already threading a needle when a clawed hand settled on hers. “Don’t bother, I’ll be healed by tonight. Just put bandages on it.” She looked back up at him, “if you don’t bleed out by tonight.” He chuckled before erupting in more coughs. “Relax, I’m hanyou, these are minor.” She gave him a bland look before setting down the needle and picking up the antiseptic. “Are there more injuries then the ones on your chest and face?” A dark blush lit his cheeks and he turned away slightly, refusing to meet her gaze. “What’s wrong?” His reaction made her grow tense, as if the stab wounds on his body weren’t enough; where else did she stab him? “Inuyasha where?” He rolled his eyes over to her and sighed, “legs…” his blush returned, “among other places.” Tears of horror refilled Kagome’s eyes and she leaned down to kiss him again. “I’m so sorry Inuyasha.” He lifted one shoulder slightly and looked away. “Like I said, don’t worry about doing too much medic shit, I’ll be healed by tonight.”
She looked at his pants and winced, there was so much blood. “Kagome…” She returned her gaze to his, “stay with me for a while okay? Your scent helps.” She smiled gently and leaned against the wall, shifting slightly so he’d be more comfortable. “I’ll stay with you for as long as you need.” He chuckled quietly, “good, so forever.” It was said so quietly she was sure she wasn’t supposed to hear it, but hear it she did and she couldn’t stop her smile. We have to get out of this place… It was just injuries this time, what happens next time? Will it be death? The thought filled her with horrible sadness, she shook herself inside and held him gently, praying he would live, praying his wounds would heal correctly, praying he finds peace, praying for their escape…
