Deep Wounds: An Inuyasha&Kagome Story
Episode 8
Several hours later, Inuyasha regains consciousness. He looks up and sees the old priestess, lying unconscious, and the monk. �She�s gone.� he says. He is sitting in a partially burned hut and the monk is resting against the far wall. The half-demon continues, �I couldn�t protect her.� As Inuyasha�s eyes begins to tear-up he cries, �Kagome. Kagome! KA-GO-ME!� �Your awake!� says a voice from behind him. Iuyasha turns and sees Kagome standing in the door way. As Inuyasha�s face show in succession surprise, joy, and utter humiliation; Miroku breaks down laughing. �And just what are you laughing at, monk!?!� asks the irate half-breed. �Nothing! Nothing.� Miroku says, still laughing. Inuyasha turns his back on both of them. �So you�re alright then?� he asks. �I�m fine.� says Kagome. �Good!� snaps Inuyasha. �The last thing we need is you getting yourself killed.� says the half-demon in anger. �Inuyasha, what�s wrong?� asks Kagome. �NOTHING!!!� he half yelps; the monk is doubled over with laughter. �DOINK!� the monk is silenced by a powerful blow of Inuyasha�s fist. �Inuyasha!� Kagome calls. �I�m out�a here.� says Inuyasha heading for the door. Kagome blocks his path, �What�s going on?� she shouts. He tries to move around her but, she keeps blocking his exit. �Kagome!� he shouts, finally meeting her eyes. They stand there and she stares deep into his soul. �Kagome.� he says. �Inuyasha?� she says. He moves around her and walks out. She stands there for a moment, to taken aback by what she has seen. With the threat gone, Miroku begins to chuckle again. Kagome gives him a second lump to go with the one Inuyasha had given him.
