Chapter Thirteen:

I woke up, pain radiating through my body. My hips and head were on fire. I couldn’t move, frozen in a numbing pain. I squeezed my eyes shut and clenched my jaw tightly to keep from screaming out.

“Kimi! Are you okay?” Sango appeared by my side, her hand resting on my forehead. I couldn’t answer. “Inuyasha!” I heard her gasp. In a flash Inuyasha appeared next to us.

His eyes grew wide as Sango drew back my shirt so they could see the bandages.

His hands moved quickly. Soon the bandages were off and they were staring down at my waist in shock. I snarled through barred teeth, glaring at them. Inuyasha blinked.

“Sorry, Kimi, you’re healing?”

I sent him a weird look. It came out as a grimace. He laughed weakly and explained. “Your waist, it’s scarring quickly. You’re almost completely healed!”

I groaned. Scar? I didn’t want an ugly scar around my waist. The pain seemed to escalate, Inuyasha and Sango held me down so I didn’t thrash out. I screamed, tears falling, and struggled blindly in their grasps.

Then it stopped.

All the pain vanished. I felt nothing. I stopped thrashing and froze, afraid to move.

“Whoa.” Sango blinked.

Inuyasha said nothing, just stared at my waist.

“Should I be scared?” I whispered.

“No! it’s not like a normal scar.” Sango smiled. I winced and stood up, painlessly, and lifted my shirt.

The scar wrapped around my waist in a wreath of vines. Tiny thorns and small leaves decorated the wreath. In a strange sense, it was beautiful.

“Ohhhh.” I groaned, sighing. I felt so defeated. Just because it was okay looking didn’t mean I wanted it! I pulled my shirt down over it and sat back down. Sango put a hand on my shoulder.

“Kimi, it wasn’t your fault. At least it isn’t ugly.” I nodded in agreement.

“I guess.”

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and stood, holding two hands out for us. We stood and started towards the camp.

“Why are we all the way out here?” I asked as I jumped on Inuyasha. He shifted me so I was on his back and then continued walking.

“Well, we were originally camped there but then that mangy wolf walked by and Kagome insisted on camping with him. Sango and I stayed with you, we didn’t want to move you.”

“Eww. Koga’s there?”

Sango nodded.
