Inuyasha's Bad Days

Inuyasha's Bad Days part 5

Shippo's POV
"You better be glad I can't hit you right now." Inuyasha said with his eyes squeezed shut, teeth clenched, and breathing heavily. "Inuyasha, are you OK? I'm sorry for hitting you." I asked. "I'll be fine Shippo. Remember, men don't show their tears . Inuyasha said . He looked like he was in a lot of pain. "You should save your strength, Inuyasha." I said then I realized that I made his condition worse. 'He's barely breathing now. I'm in trouble now.' I thought as the others came into the hut.

Kagome's POV
"Hi Shippo, how's Inuyasha." I asked. "He woke up earlier, but now he's barely breathing." He replied as he tried to leave the hut. " Shippo, what did you do?" Sango asked as Miroku grabbed him by his tail. "I...um...er... I hit him,but I didn't think I could hurt him." Shippo confessed. "Shippo, we'll discuss this later, but right now I need you to crush these herbs for me." I said stepping out of the hut to get some water. When I came back in with the a bowl of water, Shippo had crushed the herbs, Miroku had the tweezers and an empty bowl, Sango had a couple of rags. Shippo handed me the herbs and I poured it in the water. Then Sango handed me one of the rags, I dipped it into the herb water, and finally Miroku handed me the tweezers. "I hope this works, Sango." I said. "Don't worry, it will." She reassured me. I rubbed the rag around one of the scales, grabbed the scale with the tweezers and it came right out. After doing this for nine minutes, I got all the scales out; according to Sango, the scales had drawn out the poison and can be used as a weapon; and placed a cool towel on Inuyasha's head. " When do you think he'll wake up?" I asked Sango. "Normal humans take a week or two,but I don't know about hanyous." She confessed. "But at least we know he's going to be fine." "Thanks Sango. Shippo, I need you to come outside with me." I said walking out the hut calmly. "Coming Kagome." He said running after me. " Shippo, why'd you hit Inuyasha? You knew he was in pain. So why'd you do it?" I asked. " I don't know I would hurt him more. I'm sorry." He said. 'I see why Inuyasha gets mad at him, sometimes he doesn't think about what he says or does.' I thought. "It's OK, but when Inuyasha wakes up and he hits you, I'm not going to get mad at him." I told the fox yokai. "OK, Kagome." He said walking back inside the hut and sitting next to Kirara.'Inuyasha, please wake up soon.'

Inuyasha's POV
"Man my head hurts." I thought. "Look, he's coming around." I heard a voice say. I opened my eyes to find out who was talking. I saw Miroku, Sango, Shippo, & Kagome on the side of me. "How are you feeling, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. " I feel like I got hit by a couple of your metal monsters." I replied. "Well, at least its not as bad as when we found you." Sango said. " And how bad was I when you all found me?" I asked. "When we found you, you were covered in blood, scratches, and scales. Not only that, but it looked like you were on your last legs." Kagome explained. "I'm surprised your demon blood didn't take over." "I was using Tessaiga to keep me from falling over." I said closing my eyes. "Inuyasha, are you tired? You were gone for about a week. Did you eat anything?" Kagome asked. "Yes, I'm extremely tired and no, I didn't eat anything. I was too busy trying to get that demon as far away as possible." I said feeling my fatigue more now that the sun was setting. "I think I understand why you went after that demon. You guessed that the demon would be at the village in a week, so you use that week to push back and defeat it before the new moon." Kagome said. "Well, you hit the nail on the head once again, Kagome. that is exactly why." I said as I felt my demon blood leave me making me feel like crap. "Inuyasha, you should rest. I know you hate this night because you feel weak and can't sleep during this time, but you haven't eaten or slept in the past week, so it would be best if you rest now." Kagome said. "If I have to, can I lie on your lap?" I asked feeling like a kid. "Sure Inuyasha, I'll let you lie on my lap." She said. I lifted my head, even though it hurt, for Kagome to place my head on her lap. "Are you comfortable, Inuyasha?" She asked. "Encased in your scent & the comfort of being in your company. Yes, I'm comfortable." I said yawning. "Good night." I said finally resting peacefully.
