1Chapter 2

kagome felt something cold being placed on her forehead. It helped to dull the fiery pain of the fever she had. But at the same time she felt something else. Warmth. Something warm and soft was holding her hand. Something sharp lightly caressed her palm. She heard a voice. It was a boy's voice. It sounded like InuYasha's!

'You mean InuYasha is...taking care of me?' she thought before focusing on the words he so gently spoke to her.

"Kagome please get better. You don't know how much you mean to me. I love you. So don't give up and die on me.'

'Thats right.'she thought. 'People in the feudal era don't have as strong immune systems as modern people do and can be killed from things like the flu' kagome was stunned. She never knew InuYasha felt that way towards her. She always thought she was second compared to kikyo. InuYasha often made coments on how kikyo did this, or how she didn't do that. Even though she never showed it even though she never told anyone it, it killed her inside when he compared her to kikyo. And now InuYasha was saying that he loved her! A single tear ran down her cheek. She tried her hardest to utter his name but to no avail. She kept trying when at last she succeeded.

"Inu...Ya..sha."

InuYasha looked down and saw the tear roll down her white cheek. At first he was worried that it was a tear of pain and sorrow for being loved by a hanyou. But when he heard her utter his name. The way she said it, it sounded almost like a plea. A plea for him to stay with her. He tenderly wiped the tear away and pulled her covers up to her chin. Whne she was still shivering he undid his haori and draped it over her.a few seconds passed and she stopped shivering. InuYasha sat against the wall at the foot of her bed. His eyelids began to droop as he fell into a deep sleep
