Kagome sat around the fire with Shippo. Earlier Sango and Miroku had left to check out a demonic presence. Usually Inuyasha would have joined them but tonight was the new moon and he was in no condition to fight. Kagome looked over to where Inuyasha was sitting a little ways away. She sighed and looked in the orange glow of the fire. Suddenly Shippo tapped Kagome; she looked down and saw the fox demon looking at her worriedly. "What's wrong Shippo?"
"Kagome, Inuyasha smells funny." At Kagome's blank stare Shippo continued "Like he's sick or something." Kagome caught on and went over to Inuyasha. He was leaning against a tree with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep. That's weird he never sleeps on a new moon. She thought leaning closer. She then noticed that his cheeks were tinted pink and he was sweating. Kagome gently placed her hand on his forehead. Inuyasha's dark eyes snapped open and he jumped up, swaying slightly as he did so.
"What the hell are you doing?" Inuyasha yelled angrily. Kagome saw that he was holding the tree for support. "Well?" he demanded when she didn't answer right away.
"I think you have a fever." She told him. He looked even angrier.
"I do not have some stupid human cold!" he scoffed. He let go of the tree and immediately stumbled forward. Kagome looked at him skeptically.
"Come lay by the fire. It'll make you feel better." She told him gently. Inuyasha scowled and turned away. She rolled her eyes and walked up to him so she was standing right in front of him. It was obvious he was sick but she knew he wasn't going to do anything that made him look weak. "Ok, how about I put Shippo to sleep then you come over that way it'll be just me and you?" Kagome didn't wait for his response before she left to go put shippo to bed. Inuyasha sighed when she was gone happy she hadn't noticed it wasn't just the fever that was making his cheeks turn pink.
Kagome pulled the blanket over the now sleeping shippo and beckoned Inuyasha over. He reluctantly sat down by the fire. Kagome reached over and put her hand on his forehead again, making Inuyasha blush again. She thought for a moment then got up and went over to her bag and started digging through it. Inuyasha felt tiredness pull at him and he leaned against the tree. Kagome returned a moment later with a water bottle and a bottle of Tylenol. She gently shook Inuyasha's shoulder to get his attention. He opened his eyes and when he saw the water he gratefully took it but stopped when he saw the pills. "What are those?"
"Tylenol, it's a medicine from my time." She answered holding out two pills. Inuyasha frowned at them. He's not going to make this easy. Kagome sighed. "They won't hurt you, they'll just help the fever go down."
"I don't need any stupid human medicine." He scowled at her. She frowned.
"Please?" she asked. Inuyasha was grateful once again for his fever so she couldn't see the blush return to his face. But he took the pills and gulped them down with the water. "They take a little bit to work but…" She trailed off when she saw that Inuyasha had closed his eyes and was already asleep. She smiled and carefully shifted him into a more comfortable position. This just happened to be his head in her lap. Kagome remembered all too well the last night Inuyasha had gotten sick or rather poisoned during the new moon and he'd asked to lie in her lap. She was snapped out of her thoughts as Inuyasha stirred slightly.
"Kagome…I love you." He mumbled in his sleep. She blushed and smiled.
""I love you too Inuyasha."
