What's Wrong Inuyasha?

It was a few days after Sesshomaru and Inuyasha fought. Sesshomaru was attempting to take the jewel shards from me again. During the battle Sesshomaru let out a lot of his poison again, infecting Inuyasha. Per usual he says he's fine but by now I know he's lying.

"Inuyasha can we just rest for a little while? You need to let your wounds heal. There's no way you're going to beat Naraku in this condition." I scolded him. He stopped in his tracks.

"Fine, there's a river up ahead. We'll make camp there." He began to walk ahead of us again. Shippou was on my back and whispered to me,

"Kagome, he didn't argue. Something is not right with him." My heart sank.

"I know Shippou."

Miroku, Sango, Shippou and I remained calm although giving concerned glances the rest of the way there.

"I can feel you guys being weird back there, what is it?" Inuyasha protested.

"Inuyasha we're concerned something is wrong, you seem not like your usual self." Miroku responded. Inuyasha looked away.

"Jeez, you guys overanalyze everything. I'm just tired is all." He tried to convince us but even his tone of voice was off.

"If you say so, how much farther is this river?" Miroku asked.

"We're basically here." As he said it, we turned a corner and were right by the stream. We dropped our bags and Inuyasha started a fire. He went off to gather more wood with Miroku.

"Inuyasha, you look extremely pale, are you sure nothing is wrong?" Miroku kept pestering, determined to get it out of him.

Inuyasha sighed.

"I'm just really fucking tired."

"Let's go back then and join the others. The fire should hold through the night." Inuyasha nodded in agreement and the two returned. Sango and I had begun to make food.

"Here Inuyasha, eat something and then you can sleep." I handed him a bowl of ramen.

He took it and ate slowly. We watched in horror, amazed he wasn't scarfing it down like normal. Obviously he picked up on our stares.

"Will you guys give it a rest already. I told you I was tired." He handed me back the bowl, half eaten and walked over and curled up near a tree.

"Inuyasha, I'm worried about you." Shippou said. Inuyasha grunted in response.

"Leave him Shippou. He is not willing to allow his friends to be concerned so we will not bother." Miroku stated. I couldn't help but agree with him. Inuyasha's stubbornness to let people care about him got on my nerves frequently. After the rest of us finished our meals we laid down to sleep as well. Shippou cuddled into me like he normally did at night.

I had fallen asleep quickly, not realizing how tired I really was. I woke when I heard gagging, I sat up accidently waking Shippou. I looked over quickly worried about Inuyasha who was gone.

"Ka…gome…?" Shippou rubbed his tired eyes, still half awake.

"Sorry Shippou, I had a bad dream. I'm going to go walk it off, go back to sleep okay? I'll be right back." I laid him back on his side, facing away from the woods behind us. He did not respond, insinuating he had already dozed back off. I quietly got up and began towards the woods. Far enough in the distance I heard panting and more gagging.

"Inuyasha?" I whispered.

I heard no answer but I was getting closer to the heavy breathing and soon enough I came across a long silver haired boy on his knees hunched over. The gagging came again but with something clearly following it. I went into big sister mode remembering what I did for Souta when he was sick like this. I grabbed Inuyasha's long hair out of his face and began to rub his back. I felt him heave forward and everything came flooding out. After a few seconds of getting sick, he relaxed a little.

"Inuyasha why didn't you tell me you were feeling like this?" I felt the tears coming into my eyes. He moaned a little.

"I didn't want anyone to worry."

I didn't respond, I was crying now. Half because I was mad, half because I was scared. Demons don't get sick. But maybe since he was half human he could?

"Are you done?" I asked him. He shook his head.

"I'm so nauseous." It almost sounded like he was crying too.

"Don't hold it in, it'll make it worse trust me." He fell forward again and I put a hand around him to keep him stable. He began to breathe heavy again, it was almost a warning sign another wave of sick was about to hit him. I remembered Souta doing a similar thing. I felt him jerk forward, I held him a little tighter. I felt his hand grab onto mine. Almost like he was thanking me. He gagged once and began to violently throw up. His weight was becoming too much and he kept throwing up. I tied my hair elastic into his hair putting it out of his face, I held him with both hands now. He threw up for several minutes, I could hear sobs in between but I wouldn't dare tell him.

"Kagome… it won't stop." He managed to say between episodes.

"It'll be okay Inuyasha, just get it all out." I rubbed his back. Another wave hit him and he started to throw up bile. I knew this meant it was nearing an end. Almost instantly he started dry heaving. It was clear he was crying now.

"Kagome … it hurts so bad…" His sobs were silent and restricted but I could tell he was in some serious pain.

"Just breathe, you're dry heaving, that means there's nothing left for you to throw up. So just focus on breathing, calm down." He leaned back into me and put his head against my shoulder. I held him trying to be of some comfort.

"Kagome can we leave? I don't want the others to see me like this." I didn't argue with him. I knew it would be better to treat him in my era anyway.

"Yes, when you're feeling up to moving we'll head back to the well." He nodded.
