Chapter 15 � The return of
Kagome

��.

*Last
time
Inuyasha had only been hurt a bit from the demons, but he
did seem tired. �Kagome, are you alright??� He sounded scared and she could tell
that he was. She hugged him as tightly as she could, without hurting herself
farther.
�My back�it�s bleeding badly and my hand�� She looked at
her hand sadly. It hurt and she was afraid that it would scar; she might not be
able to use her bow and arrows right away either. �But I am alright, now
that you are with me.� She smiled weakly and held him tightly.
�Thank god,� he said, then gave
her a kiss on the lips, not caring who saw them. He didn�t ever want to let go
of her again.
Rin watched them from a distance, still holding onto Jaken�s dead body. �At least Kagome will be all right,� she
thought distantly. She was now carrying his body, although he was too heavy for
her, she did not care. She had to find Sesshoumaru.
The group surrounded Inuyasha and Kagome. They were all so
happy that Kagome was all right. None of them wanted to even think about
the fact that the jewel shards were now gone. Miroku held Sango and smiled as
he watched Inuyasha and Kagome happily.
�Come on, we need to stop the bleeding,� Kouga said, with
no sign of wanting to start a fight over the scene before him. This made Ayame
happy, and her smile brightened. Kagome nodded, and Inuyasha let her go for the
moment.
Inuyasha looked back to where Nakazo had stood a short
while ago, and said in a venomous voice, �Nakazo was right, this fight is far
from over.�*

��..

Kagome
was so happy to be back in Inuyasha�s arms that she almost forgot about
everyone else. She looked around at her friends, who appeared happy to have her
back, but each one seemed to be hurt. She looked at Sango, in Miroku�s arms,
looked beyond them toward Isane, who seemed to be healing from the stab wound
he had received not long ago.
�Thank
god they�re alright; even if they�re hurt; at least we are together,� Kagome
thought, smiling. Then Kagome remembered that it wasn�t just her friends that
fought with Nakazo. �Oh my god! Where are Rin and
Jaken?� Kagome burst out.
Everyone
looked around for the girl, but she was nowhere to be found. �I can�t believe
we forgot about her! I hope she is ok,� Kagome thought, becoming more and more
upset.
Inuyasha,
holding Kagome close, could tell how upset she had become. �She went off in
that direction with Jaken,� Inuyasha said, after sniffing the area briefly.
�She must be looking for Sesshoumaru.�
Sango looked upset and held
Miroku tighter. �We have to go after her, and make sure she is ok.�
Kouga stepped toward Sango and
Miroku. �If I were you, I would worry about myself, right now,� he commented,
nodding at her wounds.
Ayame nodded and said, �You ARE
hurt Sango, and Kagome doesn�t look as if she can go running after anyone right
now. I am sure that Sesshoumaru is nearby, and will find Rin before she can be
hurt by anyone.�
�What if Nakazo gets her before
she finds Sesshoumaru!� Kagome yelled, before Sango could say a word.
Isane sighed and moved toward
Kagome �Nakazo is far too injured to go after her now. Besides he has no use
for her. I am sure she will be fine. Kouga and Ayame are right,
we need to help you and Sango, before we run off after anyone else.� Kagome
sighed, looking very unhappy, but she was in too much pain to argue further
with them.
Inuyasha, who had remained quiet
throughout the conversation, said, �We need to take care of you right now,
Kagome. Sesshoumaru will have to worry about Rin for the time being.� He knew
that Kagome wasn�t happy about it, but that she couldn�t fight anymore. Kagome
looked as if she would collapse any second. Inuyasha picked her up in his arms,
saying, �Let�s get out of here before more demons show up� The others nodded to
him and headed in the direction of Kaede�s village.
Sango and Miroku mounted Kirara
carefully, trying not to hurt Sango any more then she already was. Miroku looked
at Inuyasha and said, �We won�t be able to go far before we have to stop. If we
don�t stop Kagome and Sango�s bleeding, they will
die.�
�I know that, monk,� Inuyasha
said, as Kagome ripped a piece off her uniform to wrap around her hand to stop
the bleeding. �Are you sure you will be ok for now?� he whispered softly to
Kagome. She nodded, and they all began to pick up their pace, although they
weren�t capable of their previous speeds.
Kagome was surprised that Kouga
and Inuyasha had not argued once since they found her. Kouga also seemed to be
remaining very close to Ayame, which made her smile. �Maybe he has finally
moved on,� Kagome thought happily.

��.

Sesshoumaru walked through the
forest, toward the glade where he had left Rin in Jaken�s
care. He stopped walking for a moment when he smelled Jaken�s
blood. Sesshoumaru changed direction,
heading to the new scent, also picking up the faint odor of Rin and her tears.
Though his face showed no real emotion, his body language made it evident that
he wasn�t happy.
After a short time, he came
across Rin dragging Jaken�s body, tears streaming
down her face. She was having trouble dragging him because he was so heavy, but
she determinedly maintained a rapid pace. She stopped moving when she saw
Sesshoumaru, putting Jaken down and running toward him. �Lord Sesshoumaru!� she
cried, as she hugged his leg.
Sesshoumaru didn�t return her
hug, but made no attempt to dissuade her from hugging him. After a brief moment
of closeness, he looked down at the girl and said coldly, �Stand back� She did
as she was told, crying. He pulled Tenseiga out of its sheath and looked at
Jaken closely. He swung his sword quickly through Jaken, then
stood still, waiting for Jaken to stand.
After a few seconds, Jaken took a
sharp breath. He stood up shakily and looked at his master. �What happened?� he
asked of no one in particular.
�That is what I would like to
know,� Sesshoumaru stated coldly. Jaken jumped at this, and bowed before his
lord.
�I am sorry, my lord. I was not
able to protect Rin! Please forgive me,� Jaken groveled. Rin stopped crying as
soon as Sesshoumaru returned Jaken to the living. She ran to him and tried to
hug him, even as he was begging for his life. �Don�t touch me human!� Jaken
screamed, as he watched Sesshoumaru from the corner of his eyes.
�Rin is glad that Jaken is all
better!� she said happily. She was oblivious to his disdain. Jaken just sighed.
�You will tell me what happened.�
Sesshoumaru repeated, with a bit of impatience in his voice.
Jaken continued to bow at
Sesshoumaru�s feet, once Rin let go of him. �Of course, my
Lord!�
�The nice lady, Kagome, saved Rin�s life!� Rin burst out, before Jaken could continue.
Jaken then told Sesshoumaru all that had happened, or at least what he recalled
of the incident. Rin filled in the rest for him, or at least everything that
occurred while she was there. Rin had heard Kagome say the demon�s name, but
she didn�t know much more about him, other than what she had seen.
�I see,� was all Sesshoumaru
said, before walking away. Rin followed after him quickly, smiling. Jaken stood
still for a second, blinking his eyes, then shouted, �Hey wait for me!� and ran
after them.
�Why would she give up the jewel
shards for Rin? And who is this Nakazo?� Sesshoumaru wondered to himself while
walking toward the battle scene Rin had just described. �This demon knows who I
am, yet he attacked them anyway, without fear of me. A fool
that will have to be dealt with.�

Yuma walked briskly through the woods, trying to get as far away from
Nakazo�s wrath as possible. She sighed. �I know he got away from them, because
I can still sense his aura. His aura is angry, so I don�t think he was able to
take Kagome with him. He will not be happy with me. But, I did everything I
could to control her! She is just too strong for me.� Yuma sighed once more, deeply. �It would have been easier for everyone if
they had just killed Nakazo.� She stopped walking when she came to a lake and
sat at the edge of the water. �My life sucks,� she commented to the wind.
�Would you rather be dead?� a
deep and angry voice asked from behind her.
Yuma jumped and stood up. �How did you find me so fast,
Nakazo?� she flung at him.
�I always know where you are and what
you are doing. Did you forget that?� he asked, moving closer to her. �What went
wrong? Why weren�t you able to control her!?� Nakazo began to glow with dark
energy.
Yuma put up her hands to block him from her and said, � She is too strong! There was nothing I could do to hold
her. You underestimated her,� she burst out angrily.
�Perhaps if you had come to my
aid instead of running away when you woke up, I would have had her right now.�
Nakazo moved closer to her, still glowing.
�You have it wrong, Nakazo, when
I woke up the others were already coming for you, and my powers were far too
drained to do anything worthwhile. I could not have helped you. If I had come,
I would have been killed,� Yuma stated, taking a step backwards to get further away from Nakazo,
forgetting that there was a lake behind her. She took another step back and
fell into the water.
Yuma came up sputtering.
Although the part she had fallen into wasn�t very deep, she was now
soaking wet. She looked up into Nakazo�s eyes, and was shocked to see him
laughing at her. �You are useless,� he said, shaking his head, then turned from
her and sat down. He took two jewel shards and placed them in his body. He put
one in the inside of his right wrist. Then placed the other
in his left wrist. He could feel the power of the shards healing him. He
grinned evilly.
Yuma got out of the water and looked at him. �Are you sure it�s
a good idea to use those shards?� She did not get an answer, nor did she really
expect one as she sat beside Nakazo. Nakazo was still hurt and tired, but he
was healing quickly.
Nakazo stared at his wrists where
the shards he had taken from Kagome were inserted. �I will make you and all
those you care about suffer for hurting me,� he thought darkly.
�You aren�t mad at me?� Yuma asked changing the subject.
�I am, and you will make up for
your failure later, but for now we must rest and regain our strength. Then we
will make them pay.� Nakazo stared into her eyes, smiling his evil smile.
Yuma sighed. �As you wish,� she replied sadly.
Nakazo placed a barrier around
them so no one could smell or see them. Then he moved to sit with his back to a
tree a short distance from Yuma.

The
gang had been moving toward Kaede�s for about half an hour, but they had
covered quite a distance before they felt safe. Inuyasha stopped running and
looked at Kagome in his arms. She had just passed out from loss of blood.
Looking at Sango, Inuyasha could see that she was in similar shape. He slowly
placed Kagome on the ground. �Kagome?� he whispered, looking at her still form.
�Is she
alright?� Ayame asked, stopping next to Inuyasha. Kouga also eyed Kagome, but
said nothing. Isane was again in his panther form, stopping near Kagome as
well, looking at her sadly.
�We
need to stop here, bandage everyone, and rest awhile. If we keep moving, both
Kagome and Sango will die,� Inuyasha said, brushing Kagome�s hair out of her
eyes. The others nodded and Miroku helped Sango off Kirara. Then he removed
Kagome�s bag from Kirara and started taking out supplies.
Isane
turned back into his humanoid form and looked around the area to make sure it
was safe to stop there. �You will need water to clean their wounds and for them
to drink. There is none here for them.
Perhaps we should keep moving,� Isane said, while watching Inuyasha and
Kagome.
Miroku
stopped him and said, �Kagome has bottles in her bag that carry water. There
are two here with water in them already, so we should be ok for now. There are
two more, though, that you could fill, if you find a water source near by. Wait
while we use all the water we have, though before you go. We need to stay close
together as long as we can,� Isane nodded to him and waited for them to empty
the water bottles.
Miroku
was helping Sango bandage herself after she removed the old bloody ones.
Inuyasha used one of Kagome�s water bottles to clean off the wound on her back,
then her hand. Inuyasha couldn�t help but wince when he saw the claw marks on
Kagome�s back. They were deep and looked to be painful. Inuyasha was angry, but
he knew he didn�t have time for anger right now. He needed instead, to help
Kagome, so he tried to focus on helping her and not on how she got hurt. �I
WILL kill that bastard soon,� Inuyasha thought angrily.
Once
Miroku was done helping Sango, he pulled out Kagome and Sango�s
sleeping bags, putting one down for Sango and leaving the other near Inuyasha.
�Will you be staying with us tonight?� Miroku asked Kouga and Ayame. They
looked at each other and nodded. Neither one was hurt badly, so they were able
to stand guard.
Inuyasha
didn�t say a word to anyone as he watched over Kagome. He picked her up and
placed her gently into her sleeping bag.
�Good,
we can use all the help we can get right now. If Nakazo came to attack us right
now, and you weren�t with us, I don�t think we could win.� Miroku smiled
briefly at Kouga and Ayame, who again just nodded. Ayame started to make a fire
while Kouga checked around the area for any threats.
Miroku
stared into Sango�s eyes as she sat on the sleeping
bag, attempting to look at the last of her wounds. �Thank you for helping me,�
she said with a small smile.
�You
know I would do anything for you Sango. How are you feeling?� Miroku asked,
keeping his hands under control for her sake.
�I will
be fine. I am more worried about Kagome. She was hurt pretty badly.� Sango
started to frown. �I don�t know what that jerk did to her but it must have been
bad. The thought of Kagome alone with Nakazo makes my skin crawl.� Miroku
looked at Kagome and frowned deeply. �I
want to ask her what happened, but I know she needs to rest right now, so it
can wait. At least she is back with us now. I will never let him hurt her
again!� Sango declared vehemently.
Miroku
put his arm around Sango; she laid her head on his shoulder and relaxed a bit.
�It�s going to be ok, Sango. I won�t let any thing happen to either of you.�
Miroku�s voice was soft and loving; the sentiment made Sango feel much better.
Isane sat
down next to Kirara and sighed. �Are you hurt?� he asked the fire cat. She
shook her head no. Isane smiled at her, while petting her head. She was now in
her smaller form, sitting not far from Sango and Miroku.
�When I
saw Nakazo, there were so many things I wanted to say to him. But I just
couldn�t. We were so close once. Why does it have to be like this?� Isane
sighed deeply. Kirara meowed at him softly, to comfort him. He smiled and then
turned his attention to the others, while continuing to pet her.
Once
Ayame was done making the fire, she walked over to Kouga, who was still
watching out for any threats. �You sure are quiet,� she stated softly.
�I
don�t like having to stop this close to where we just fought Nakazo. He could
be nearby watching us,� Kouga said seriously.
Ayame
nodded her head and said, �You are right, but I don�t think he will attack so
soon. He will need to rest also.� She smiled as Kouga relaxed slightly. �You
know, you and Inuyasha fought pretty well together, today.�
Kouga
shrugged at this comment, then replied in a soft
voice, �It wasn�t so bad, fighting alongside them. Maybe if we all work
together, we can find Naraku faster and end this war.� Kouga then spoke louder,
boasting, �I mean, there is no way that dogface will ever be able to kill
Naraku on his own. I will be the one to kill him, but some help wouldn�t hurt.�
Ayame
sighed. �You know for a second there, I thought you had changed.� She giggled
slightly.
�You
want me to change?� Kouga asked, looking hurt. She only giggled some more and
he sighed.
Inuyasha
heard them but wasn�t really paying any attention. He was concentrating on listening to Kagome
as she moaned slightly in pain.
Kagome
slowly opened her eyes and looked right into Inuyasha�s golden gaze. She smiled
and seemed to forget all the pain as she brought her mouth to his softly.
�Don�t leave me,� she pleaded, as Inuyasha made motions to get up.
�Never,�
he replied, then moved to sit behind her, putting her
head in his lap. This was something he
didn�t do often. Inuyasha smiled down at her, �How are you feeling?�
�A little better. I heal faster then I used to, but I was hurt pretty badly. I will be
better soon, thanks to you,� Kagome said with a small smile.
Sango
saw that Kagome was awake and smiled at Miroku, who also looked over at the
couple and smiled. Ayame and Kouga also noticed that Kagome was awake and they
looked at her as well. Everyone was happy that she was back with them.
�I
think I speak for everyone when I say that we are very glad to have you back
Lady Kagome,� Miroku said in a formal yet happy voice. Everyone nodded in
response to his comment and smiled.
Kagome
looked at Miroku and Sango sitting close by and smiled. �Thank you everyone. I
don�t know what would have happened if you hadn�t shown up when you did. I
didn�t have any more strength to fight him.�
Sango
started to cry, saying, �You know that we will always be there for you, just as
you are for us. I am just sorry that we didn�t get there sooner.� Miroku held
Sango tighter to keep her from running to Kagome and injuring herself further.
�It�s
not your fault Sango. There was nothing you could have done. I am ok now and
that�s what matters,� Kagome said sweetly. Kagome wanted to run to Sango and
hold her close, because of the sad look on her face. But she was too injured to
get up right then. She and Sango would have to be satisfied with their men
holding them instead.
Isane
was somewhat distant from the group, but he could still see everything that was
going on. He stood up and said, �I need to refill the bottles with water now. I
smell a large body of water, probably a lake; it�s not far, in that direction.
I am happy that you are back with your friends, Kagome. I will return shortly.�
He ran off before she could reply.
Kagome
sighed. �Does he feel left out?� she wondered sadly. �He said, �I am happy that
you are back with your friends, Kagome.� But he made it sound as if he didn�t
think he was one of them. I wonder what happened while I was away. So many
things seem to have changed in such a short time.� She looked at Inuyasha who
seemed to be confused by her emotions. She giggled a bit at the look on his
face.
�I
think I will take a nap. I am so tired.� Kagome said, covering up a yawn.
�I
think we could all use some rest, Kagome.� Miroku said, looking at Sango who
was about to fall asleep in his arms. He smiled. �She is so beautiful,� he
thought, gazing down at her.
