Yay!
I am back with another chapter. And don't worry, I don't actually
plan on letting Kagome die. She is one of my favourite characters in
the whole entire series. If I was going to let any character in my
fanfictions die, it would be Kikyo. Well, let her die again..
Hehe. Anyway, before I forget... Disclaimer: I do not
own Inuyasha, I don't own any of the characters, yadda yadda yadda...
Too bad Inuyasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi... -sigh-
Oookay... Now onto the story.----------------------------------------------------------------------
Inuyasha gently placed a hand on Kagome's cheek and looked at her pale form. She looked as though she was dead.
"This is all my fault... If only I was here to protect you, to save you from that demon... You might just be alive now," Inuyasha said softly, even though he knew Kagome couldn't hear a word he was saying. "I know now... I know that Kikyo isn't the one I love. She was just a heartless, cold empty shell, but you... You were kind, caring, and always there for me... You didn't care about what I was, or how I was. You showed me kindness..." he paused for a moment, before whispering one last thing to her. "Kagome, I... I love you..."
Of course, Inuyasha had no idea Kagome could hear all this, let alone know she was still alive. Kagome was a little shocked after to just hearing what he just said, and struggled to force her eyes open, just to let him know she was alright.
"Inu... yasha...?" Kagome whispered, so soft that only Inuyasha's sensitive ears could hear it. His eyes widened, and Kagome managed to open her eyes.
"Kagome! You're alive!" Inuyasha exclaimed, hoping to god she didn't hear what he had just said.
"Yes... Inuyasha? Did you... really mean those words?" Kagome said in the same voice, as she tried to sit up, but was too weak.
"You mean, you heard it?"
"Yes... every word," Kagome replied as Inuyasha blushed lightly. Kagome just smiled weakly. "Inuyasha, I lo... I love you, too..." she managed to say, after all this time. Inuyasha was shocked. Did he just hear what she just said? He thought he was dreaming.
"You really mean it?" he asked, wondering if he just heard her wrong or something. Kagome nodded slightly.
"Yes, Inuyasha. I do love you... With all my heart."
Inuyasha was shocked, surprised, and now, somewhat happy. He loved her, and she loved him back. He knew she wasn't lying, he could see the love in her eyes.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha looked into her eyes. "Can we get back to the village and back to the others now?" Inuyasha nodded, he knew he had to bring Kagome to Kaede so she could heal her.
"Yeah, of course," he replied. He held her safely in his arms as he headed off toward the village.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
By the time Inuyasha had reached the hut where Kaede and Shippou were in with Kagome, Shippou jumped up excitedly and into Kagome's arms. Inuyasha growled a bit.
"Kagome!" the young kitsune exclaimed, jumped up and down in Kagome's arms, causing Kagome to wince as he landed on one of her wounds. Inuyasha growled even more, knowing Shippou was hurting Kagome.
"Can't you see she's hurt!" Inuyasha yelled, hitting Shippou over the head leaving a large bump, then throwing him to the other side of the hut. Shippou started to cry.
"Kagome! Inuyasha's being mean to me!" the kitsune yelled as he sobbed. Kagome glared at Inuyasha for a while, and was about to say something until Kaede spoke up.
"What happened to ye, Kagome?" Kaede asked, noticing some of Kagome's wounds.
"She was attacked by a demon," Inuyasha said plainly before Kagome had a chance to say anything. Kagome looked at Kaede and just nodded.
"Alright. I will bandage up her wounds," Kaede replied. Inuyasha nodded and gently laid Kagome down on the floor, so Kaede could heal her. Shippou ran off outside to go find Miroku and Sango.
A few minutes later after Shippou left, Kagome soon passed out once more, since she was still quite weak. Inuyasha was somewhat worried about her, hoping she'll be alright. Kaede soon started to bandage Kagome's wounds, while Inuyasha sat there and watched silently. After Kaede was done, she looked up at Inuyasha and held out something in her hand.
"Let Kagome drink this, it should make her wounds heal a little faster," Kaede explained. Inuyasha merely nodded and took the medicine from Kaede. Kaede soon left to get some more herbs for other wounded people in the village, and left Inuyasha and Kagome alone together. Inuyasha waited for Kagome to wake up, so he could give her the medicine.
After a few moments of waiting, Inuyasha started to grow impatient and went to get up and leave, but stopped as he felt a gently tug on his sleeve. He turned to see that Kagome had woken up. She smiled sweetly, making Inuyasha's heart melt.
"So, you're finally up, wench?" Inuyasha said a little rudely. Kagome sighed, ignoring the comment and looked around.
"Where is everyone?" she asked.
"Kaede went to go get some herbs, but who knows where Miroku and Sango are. Shippou went to find them," he explained. Kagome nodded.
"Oh, alright..."
"Here. Kaede told me to give this to you. You need to drink it, she says it'll make you better," he said as he handed Kagome the medicine.
"Thanks," she replied before drinking it all.
"Are you feeling any better?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome nodded slightly.
"Yes, a bit," she replied.
"Good. Then could you come with me so we can talk in private? Away from the village? It's important..." Inuyasha said, blushing a little. Kagome smiled.
"Sure, of course," she said softly. Inuyasha smiled slightly, then picked her up bridal style and jumped away with her, and away from the village all the way into the Forest of Inuyasha, the forest that was named after him.
