Through the forest of green trees was a blur of red and green; InuYasha and Kagome. While InuYasha was darting to Kaede's village, Kagome was woken up by the movement.

"Inu...Yasha? Is that you..? Where are we? Where is Sango and... Miroku..?" Kagome asked faintly.

"Kagome, are you alright? We are heading to Kaede's village. Sango and Miroku are coming." InuYasha replied. His ears drooped down.

"Hey... What's wrong with your ears?" Kagome reached up to tug on his ears but ended up tugging on his hair.

"What did you do that for?!"InuYasha yelped.

"Oops!" Kagome giggled behind the back of her hand.

Within a matter of minutes Kagome fell back into unconsciousness. Her breathing slowed and she felt limp in his arms. After 15 minutes, they arrived at Kaede's village.

"InuYasha! How have ye been! It's been- Oh my. What happened to ye child?" Asked Kaede.

"We crossed paths with Naraku. He attacked us. This happened." He said referring to Kagome.

"Oh my... Settle her on this mat over there in the corner. I will get some herbs." With that, Kaede walked outside.

InuYasha put her down gradually; trying not to wake the young girl.

InuYasha leaned against the wall in a sitting position and held a hand on his sword.

He leaned his head against the wall. Before he knew it he fell asleep.
