Wounded

Kagome had finally stopped running, and was out of breath. She took in big gasps of
breath as she examined her surrounding. It was unfamiliar territory, and it was raining like there
was no tomorrow. While not to far away, Youko was getting frustrated, and him calm demeanor
had long slipped away.

***

~Kagome's POV~

"It's getting cold." I muttered to myself, as I got drenched in the downpour. I think I'm
lost. Should I call for help? No way. He'll think I'm weak again! I know my pride was getting in
the way, but I wouldn't back down. The thunder crashed, as I covered my ears, which was a bad
move. For I had failed to notice the noise near the bushes.
"Your gonna be my lunch!" hissed a large snake demon.
"Ah!" I screamed, as I barely dodged his bite. I tried to run, but I couldn't. I was frozen.
Not because the demon did something, but because of exhaustion and fear. I closed my eyes, as
he struck again. But instead of getting bitten, I was pushed to the ground. I opened my eyes, to
gaze into golden ones.
"Found you." sighed Youko, as my eyes started to well up with tears, but you couldn't
really tell because of the rain. Youko slowly got up and faced the demon, and took out his
infamous whip. And in a few minutes, the snake demon was killed.
I sighed with relief, but my eyes quickly widened when I saw the blood flowing freely
from Youko's arm. It was beginning to turn a sickly purple too. He was poisoned, and it was all
because of me. "Your hurt." I stated obviously, as I ran over to him.
"Let's get to somewhere dry." he stated, as he pulled me along with him. As we walked, I
noticed Youko was wobbling, and my worry began to grow. Soon we found a deserted cave, and
entered. As soon as we got in, Youko fainted.
"Youko! Youko!" I yelled. "Wake up!"
"I'm not dead, women." murmured Youko, as I wiped away tears. Youko then fell into
unconscientious again. I knelt down next to him, and noticed the wound was healing. The poison
must be preventing the healing. Why did he risk his life saving me anyway? I gently touched his
face, as I felt more tears drop.
It was all my fault. I know. Without another thought, I quickly lowered my mouth to his
arm, and sucked out the poison, and quickly spit it out. I repeated the process several times until
he all the poison was removed. Wait, I suddenly felt myself slipping into darkness, as I fell next
to Youko.

~Youko's POV~

When I slowly opened my eyes, the first thing I realized was that something warm was
snuggled against me. I looked down, and met a sleeping Kagome. She actually isn't that bad
when she's not screaming. I noticed the poison on the ground and looked towards Kagome. She
did that for me? Didn't she know it was dangerous? She could've died.
"Youko." murmured Kagome, as she gripped me tighter. "Don't leave."
"I'm not." I whispered, as Kagome began to shiver. It was still raining outside. I gathered
Kagome into my lap, and hugged her close to me. Not long after, I felt hot tears and found that
Kagome was crying.
"Don't leave me alone. I have no one." murmured Kagome. "I can never be better than
Kikyou." Kikyou. Who is she?
"No, your wrong." I stated. "You're the first human that has improved so much in such a
short time. I was brought out of my thoughts when Kagome started to stir.
"Are you okay?" asked Kagome, eyes filled with worry, for me.
"Yea." I replied, and quickly released Kagome, when she started to turn bright red.
"Sorry." apologized Kagome. "It was all my fault."
"I shouldn't have said you were weak." I stated, saying it as if stating the weather,
without emotion at all. I was surprised when Kagome flashed me her biggest smile. She had
never smiled at me before, and she's beautiful when she does.
"Guess your better than Inuyasha." muttered Kagome. Inuyasha. I still haven't figured out
who he is yet.
"Let's go home." I called, when the skies cleared.
"Home?" repeated Kagome. "My home isn't even close to here."
"Then, my home will be your home for the time being." I voiced, without any thought at
all. Why did I just say that? I inwardly sighed, and motioned for the surprised Kagome to follow
me. Kagome nodded, and quickly followed.
She actually listened without argument for once. "Your going to slow." I stated emotionlessly
after a few minutes.
"Thanks for noticing." retorted Kagome, as she smiled at me. I didn't say anything, as I
picked Kagome up, and raced back to my territory. We were there in no time, and found a
worried Kuronue pacing around.
"Your going to dig a hole." I commented, as Kuronue quickly whirled around to face us.
Kuronue eyed me and Kagome, as I quickly noticed what he was starring at. Without a second
thought, I just dropped Kagome.
"Ow!" yelled Kagome, as she leaped back up, rubbing her sore bottom. "You didn't have
to drop me! You bastard!"

~Kagome's POV~

The nerve of him! Didn't have to drop me like that! "Humph!" I turned and stomped back
into my room.
"Did I miss something?" asked Kuronue.
"NO!"yelled Kagome angrily, as she continued on her way.
"Really, Youko, what happened?" demanded Kuronue with a glint in his eyes.
"Nothing." stated Youko coldly, meaning end of discussion. Why is he so mean? Does he
really care? Why do I care anyway?
"Inuyasha, sit!" I yelled. Why? Because I'm mad, and it makes me feel better. Hopefully
Kikyou will get smashed when Inuyasha crashes.

~Feudal Era~

*Bang*
Shippo jumped out of Sango's arms at the loud bang. Miroku peeked into Inuyasha's hut.
"It's nothing." informed Miroku.
Sango walked over and looked as well. "Yea, Inuyasha's just brining Kikyou to hell for
once instead."
"Yea, it's change." added Shippo. "They deserved it."
"Agreed." confirmed Sango. "I hope Kagome comes back soon."
"Yea, I miss her lovely presence." added Miroku with a perverted grin. "She's beautiful."
"Pervert!" yelled Sango, as she smacked Miroku with her boomerang.
"Kikyou! Kikyou!" called the worried voice of Inuyasha. "Are you okay?"
"What kinda question is that?" asked Kikyou coldly.
"Sorry." apologized Inuyasha.
"What are you apologizing for?" asked Sango. "I never heard you apologize to Kagome
before."
"Feh." muttered Inuyasha. "The wench doesn't deserve it."
"Neither does your bitch, but your no better yourself, so it's fine. Your below Kagome."
retorted Sango.
"Wench!" yelled Inuyasha, as his eyes glowed red. "Don't talk to Kikyou like that!" The
next second, Inuyasha lunged at Sango. Sango's eyes widened at the sudden attack.
"No!" yelled Miroku, as Inuyasha's claws came slashing down.
*Bang*
Just before his claws met Sango, he fell into a deep hole.
"Thank Kami!" cried Miroku, as he banged Inuyasha across the head.
"Miroku, let's go. If we stay any longer, we could be killed." ordered Sango, as she
stomped out, with Shippo and Miroku following close behind.

~Makai~

"I can't believe he just dropped me like that!" fumed Kagome, as Kuronue had his ear
against Kagome's door.
"Sounds like Youko alright." murmured Kuronue, as Kagome kept fuming. Unknown to
Kuronue, Youko was right behind him listening to every word. "Youko really needs to work on
his people skill. Guess Youko could be a bastard at times."
"Mhm." cleared Youko, as Kuronue turned around, and gave a sheepish look. "A bastard,
am I?"
"Can't really deny it, can you?" asked Kuronue.
"Some friend you are." added Youko. Suddenly the door slammed open.
"Can't you give a girl some peace?" yelled Kagome. "Can't you even give me some space
to fume! You don't have to watch my every move, you know!" Kuronue covered his ears in pain,
as Youko only sighed.
"Woman, be quite." ordered Youko, as he smirked inwardly as Kagome's anger
increased.
