The flu sucks
Chap.1 Poor Kagome's Got The Flu
" Come on Kagome, pick up the pace," Inuyasha growled as he glared at Kagome, who was lagging behind the group.
" I'm coming," Kagome said tiredly readjusting the backpack on her shoulder before dragging her feet a little faster. Sango noticed Kagome's unusually slow pace and slowed down to see what was wrong.
" Kagome are you okay?" Sango asked in concern.
" Yeah I'm fine Sango, I'm just a little tired," Kagome said shifting her backpack again.
" You're sure you're all right?" Sango asked just to make sure.
" Yes I'm sure but thanx for worrying about me," Kagome said giving Sango a small smile.
" That's what friends are for," Sango said softly giving Kagome a small hug; Kagome gave Sango a small smile of her appreciation. Sango smiled back before Inuyasha interrupted.
" Come on you two pick up the pace," He growled glaring at both of them.
" Sorry Inuyasha I'll pick it up," Kagome said quietly again shifting her bag.
Inuyasha's concern finally pushed through his pride and he walked back to Kagome.
" Hey, is your backpack too heavy?" He asked in an attempted annoyed tone.
" No it's fine," Kagome said quietly shifting her bag once more.
" Kagome don't lie to me," Inuyasha said in a firm but concerned tone.
" Fine it's a little heavy," Kagome admitted tiredly not wanting to argue.
" I'll take it"
" If you want"
Kagome took her backpack off her shoulder and it almost pulled her to the ground but Inuyasha steadied her then took it from her.
" Thanx Inuyasha," Kagome said softly.
" Feh just keep walking," Inuyasha said as he started to walk again.
An hour later Kagome was still lagging behind. She picked up her pace just enough to get to Inuyasha.
" Inuyasha, I don't feel very good," Kagome mumbled before running over to a tree and puking. Inuyasha was by her side instantly. When Kagome was finished she leaned back on Inuyasha and looked up at him.
" Inuyasha, can we please stop and rest? I really don't fee good," Kagome whimpered not wanting to make him mad.
" As soon as we get to the village we'll stop," Inuyasha said softly.
He gently pulled Kagome to her feet and they started walking again.
When Inuyasha noticed half an hour later that Kagome was still lagging behind he walked back to her and without a word and picked her up then started walking again. Kagome only leaned her head against his shoulder and tiredly whispered a " Thanx' before drifting off to sleep.
Sango looked back at them and smiled until Inuyasha noticed and glared at her. Seeing she had been caught Sango turned back around.
An hour or so later they came to Kaede's village. Inuyasha immediately took Kagome into Kaede's hut and sat down with her in his lap.
When Kaede didn't came back fifteen minutes later Inuyasha started to get impatient and bored until he felt Kagome move in his lap. He looked down at her just as her eyes fluttered open. She rubbed her eyes sleepily.
" Where are we?" Kagome asked sleepily.
" We're in Kaede's hut," Inuyasha said softly.
Kagome decided that since Inuyasha was worried about her is was safe to whine a bit.
" I don't feel good," Kagome whined like a little kid as she cuddled up to Inuyasha's chest. Inuyasha felt her forehead then his own.
" I think you have a fever," He said softly as he wrapped her arms around her. Kagome shivered.
" I'm kinda cold. Could you please get me a blanket from my bag?" Kagome said quietly.
" O.K." Inuyasha said sweetly. He reached beside him and pulled her bag closer before pulling a blanket out and wrapping it around Kagome.
" Thank you Inuyasha," Kagome mumbled before cuddling closer to his chest and falling asleep.
Kagome awoke an hour or so later and looked up at Inuyasha.
" I don't feel good," Kagome whimpered," I think I'm gonna puke."
Kagome pushed herself out pf Inuyasha's arms and ran out of the hut and over to some bushes before puking violently. Inuyasha out to her side. When she was finished Kagome looked over at him.
" Are you O.K.?" Inuyasha asked in a slightly concerned tone.
" No. I don't feel good and my head hurts," Kagome whined," and I'm dizzy"
" Let's get you inside," Inuyasha said gently picking her up and carrying her back into the hut.
He sat down and placed Kagome in his lap then pulled the blanket back around her.
" Do you have anything in your bag the will make you feel better?" Inuyasha asked softly.
" Yes. If you pull my bag over here I can get it," Kagome said tiredly.
" O.K. ," Inuyasha as he pulled Kagome's backpack over to her.
" Thanx," Kagome said in the same tired tone before rummaging through her bag for some Advil and Gravol. Once she found what she was looking for she grabbed a bottle of water and set it in her lap while she opened the bottles of medicine and took a tablet from each. She popped one of the tablets into her mouth then opened the bottle of water and took a sip to swallow it down; she did the same with the other tablet before putting her medicine away, setting the bottle of water down and cuddling up to Inuyasha. Inuyasha started to gently rub her back until she fell asleep.
Kagome woke up a while later and immediately groaned and clenched her stomach.
" Are you O.K.?" Inuyasha asked in concern.
" N-no . . . m-my . . . t-tummy . . .h-hurts," Kagome mumbled as she started to cry.
" What do you need me to do?" Inuyasha asked in concern wanting to help but not knowing how too.
" I don't know just make it stop," Kagome sobbed.
" Well I don't know o to make it stop," Inuyasha said in an annoyed yet concerned tone.
" It hurts really bad Inuyasha. Please make it stop,"
Kagome started to rock back and forth still clenching her stomach. Inuyasha stopped her rocking then picked her up as he stood.
" Calm down," He said softly," Take a few deep breaths"
Kagome did as Inuyasha told her. She slowly started to calm down.
" You calmer now?" Inuyasha asked softly.
Kagome nodded.
" Does your stomach still hurt?"
Kagome answered his question by scrunching up again and clenching her stomach.
" Owww . . . It hurts even worse. Inuyasha," Kagome screech as tears started to stream down her face.
Inuyasha sat back down and set her in his lap. He held her close with one hand and grabbed her sleeping bag with the other. He laid it out then set Kagome on top of it.
" O.K. we'll try this again. Calm down," Inuyasha said softly," Now deep breaths"
Kagome took a few deep breaths and started to calm down.
" You calm now?"
Kagome nodded.
" Hand by your sides"
" Why?"
" Just do it"
"O.K."
Kagome put her hands by her side. Inuyasha pulled the blanket up to her waist then slowly started to rub her stomach.
" Feel better?" Inuyasha asked softly.
Kagome started to nod then shook her head and shot outside to the bushes before puking. Inuyasha run out to her side and placed a hand on her shoulder to support her shaking form. When she finally finished puking Kagome turned around and buried her face in Inuyasha's chest as she started to sob.
" Shh. Shh. Kagome calm down," Inuyasha said softly starting to rub her back.
Kagome was starting to calm down when a cramp hit her. She clenched her stomach and started to sob harder.
" Ow. . . I-Inuyasha. . . I-I . . . w-wanna . . .g-go. . .h-home," Kagome sobbed.
" I'll take you home but first you have to calm down," Inuyasha said gently moving her arms and starting to rub her stomach.
Kagome started to calm down as the pain in her stomach ebbed away.
" O.K. you calm now?" Inuyasha asked still softly rubbing her stomach.
Kagome nodded.
" You think you can walk or do you need me to carry you?"
" I don't know," Kagome said tiredly.
" You wanna try standing?"
" O.K."
Inuyasha let Kagome down so she could stand. Kagome stood up straight only to lean on Inuyasha and clench his Kimono.
" Everything's spinning and my head hurts," Kagome whimpered.
" Well I guess I'm carrying you," Inuyasha said softly picking Kagome back up and walking into the hut. He sat down then put Kagome down beside him and wrapped the blanket around her shoulders.
" You sit there while I pack your stuff up. OK," Inuyasha said softly.
" OK," Kagome said quietly pulling the blanket closer around her.
Inuyasha put all of Kagome's things back in her bag then hoisted it over his shoulder and picked Kagome up.
" You warm enough?" Inuyasha asked softly.
" Yeah," Kagome said tiredly cuddling closer to Inuyasha.
" Inuyasha we should tell everyone else we're going back,"
" OK," Inuyasha said walking into the village.
After a few minutes he found Sango.
" Hey Sango," Inuyasha called trying not to wake a now sleeping Kagome.
Sango turned around and spotted Inuyasha and Kagome. She ran over to them.
" Poor Kagome," Sango said placing a hand a Kagome's forehead.
" Yeah she's really sick. She asked me tell you we're going back. Could you please tell Miroku and Shippo? I don't want to Keep Kagome out much longer," Inuyasha asked.
" Sure I let them Know," Sango said softly, " you'd better go get Kagome home.
Inuyasha nodded before heading toward the well.
About half an hour later Inuyasha was at the well. He jumped in carefully. He didn't wanna drop Kagome.
Kagome woke up at the sudden rush of air around her. She clenched Inuyasha's haori and cuddled closer to him.
" Inuyasha. I don't feel good. I'm really dizzy," Kagome said tightening her grip on his haori. Inuyasha pulled her closer.
" It's OK, we're almost there," Inuyasha said softly.
About a minute later they were at the bottom of the well in Kagome's time. Inuyasha carefully jumped out of the well and walked out of the mini shrine. He walked over to the front door and turned the knob, finding it unlocked, and walked in. Finding no one home he walked into the living room and dropped Kagome's bag before sitting down on the couch with Kagome I his lap. She was still wake and clenching his haori.
" You feel OK?" Inuyasha asked softly.
" No. I'm still dizzy and my head hurt," Kagome whimpered.
" You wanna go up to your room?"
" Uh-Huh"
"OK"
Inuyasha slowly stood up then grabbed Kagome's bag and made his way up to her room. Once he was in her room he pulled back the comforter on her bed and laid her down then pulled the covers over her.
"Inuyasha can you go into my bag a grab a pair of PJ's for me?" Kagome asked sleepily.
"OK," Inuyasha said sweetly.
He went over to Kagome's bag and rummaged through it until he found what he thought were PJ's.
" These?" Inuyasha asked holding up a long sleeved top with bunnies on it and matching pants.
" Yep," Kagome answered quietly.
Inuyasha brought them over to her then helped her sit up.
" Can you help me get them on?" Kagome asked tiredly.
" Um…uh sure," Inuyasha stuttered as he blushed.
Kagome lifted her arms up and Inuyasha gently pulled her shirt over her head then slipped her PJ top on. He held her up when she stood up and slipped her skirt off and slipped her PJ bottoms on. Kagome sat back down on her bed and undid her bra then slipped it off. She laid back down and pulled her comforter closer around her. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Inuyasha sat beside Kagome's bed until she woke up half an hour later.
" Inuyasha take me to the washroom I think I'm gonna puke," Kagome said clamping one hand over her mouth and clenching her stomach.
" OK," Inuyasha said gently picking her up and heading for the washroom.
He set her down in front of the toilet and sat down beside her. Kagome bent over the toilet and started puking violently. Inuyasha sat be her side and held her shoulders to steady her as her body shook with each gag.
Five minutes later Kagome sat back thinking she finished puking.
" You finished now?" Inuyasha asked softly.
Kagome started to nod then shook her head and bent back over the toilet.
A Few minutes later Kagome leaned back and put her head on Inuyasha's shoulder.
" You OK now?" Inuyasha asked softly as he started to rub Kagome's back.
" I think so," Kagome whimpered.
Inuyasha pulled her into his lap. Kagome started to close her eyes and relax when a cramp rippled through her causing her to scrunch up and clench her stomach.
" Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Inuyasha it hurts make it stop," Kagome screeched as tears started to stream down her face,
Inuyasha pulled her close and tried to move her arms but found she was clenching to hard. He picked Kagome up and took her back to her room then sat down on her bed and started rubbing her back.
" Calm down, calm down. It's OK," Inuyasha said softly.
" No. . . It's. . .Not," Kagome sobbed.
" I wanna make it better but you have to calm down,"
" B-but. . . I-it. . . H-hurts,"
" I know just unclench a little. Please,"
" O-OK,"
Kagome loosened her grip on her stomach and let Inuyasha move her arms. She cuddled closer to him as he lifted her shirt a little and started to gently rub her stomach. Kagome slowly fall asleep.
When Kagome awoke an hour later Inuyasha was still rubbing her stomach. She tired to sit up a little but ended up leaning more on Inuyasha.
" Inuyasha I'm really dizzy," Kagome murmured, " The room's spinning"
" Close your eyes and go back to sleep," Inuyasha said softly.
" OK,"
Kagome closed her eyes and slowly started to doze off.
Inuyasha made sure Kagome was asleep before lying her down in her bed and covering her up. He felt her forehead finding it extremely hot. He got a facecloth and damped it then placed it on Kagome's forehead before going downstairs to get something to eat.
Kagome woke up and hour later and sat up a little too fast. She laid back down then tried to sit up a little slower. After she was successfully upright Kagome slowly swung her feet over the side of her bed and tried to stand. Her first attempt ended with her sitting back on her bed. Kagome tried again and shakily stood up. She slowly made her way down the stairs and then into the kitchen, Kagome was almost to the table when she collapsed. Inuyasha heard her hit the floor and ran to her side. He gently pulled her into his lap.
" Are you OK?" Inuyasha asked in a concerned tone.
" No. I don't feel good and my back starting to hurt," Kagome whined.
" Come on. I'll take you back upstairs and massage your back. K?"
" OK,'
Inuyasha carried Kagome back to her room then gently sat her down and sat behind her before starting to massage her back.
" Better?" He asked softly.
" Uh-huh," Kagome mumbled quietly.
" Good"
Inuyasha kept massaging Kagome's back until she stiffened up and almost screamed then started crying. He hesitantly wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close.
" I'm sorry Kagome I didn't mean to hurt you," Inuyasha said softly.
" I-it . . . wasn't . . . you,' Kagome sniffled, " A-a . . . S-sharp . . .pain . . . just . . . shot . . . through . . . M-my . . . B-back. I-it . . . really . . . hurt,"
Kagome finished talking before starting to sob harder into Inuyasha's chest. Inuyasha started gently rubbing Kagome's back.
" Calm down, calm down it's OK," Inuyasha said softly.
Kagome started to calm down until a cramp hit her.
"Ow. It. . . hurts. M-make . . . it. . . stop," Kagome sobbed as she clenched her stomach.
" O Kagome, Not again. Calm down. Please,' Inuyasha said softly as he started to rub Kagome's back again.
" B-but. . . it. . . hurts," Kagome sobbed.
" I know it hurts and I wanna make it better but you have to calm down," Inuyasha said softly.
He tried to move her arms but she clenched even harder.
" Kagome please calm down so I can help," Inuyasha said softly, " Please"
" O-OK,"
