A Sexual Favor
Chapter Two: Kagome Falls Ill

Three days had past since the encounter with Razi, and Kagome didn't feel any different. She was relieved since she did lie. Kagome not being any different really surprised Inuyasha, he was sure she had lied, but she was fine. 'Maybe Razi spared me?' Kagome thought.

'I guess she did tell the truth.' Inuyasha thought as he sighed to himself. 'Maybe I was just hoping she thought of me that way, I guess not. Sure she's my friend and all, but no way could she ever love a hanyou like me. Heck I'm not even sure Kikyo accepts me being a hanyou, after all she did convince me to become a human…' Inuyasha was getting lost in his thoughts until Miroku snapped him back down to Earth.

"Hey Inuyasha!" Miroku called to his comrade. Inuyasha's response was looking over his shoulder at him. "Don't you owe Kagome an apology?" Miroku asked eyeing his friend down.

"Apology? For what?" Inuyasha fumed completely turning around and glaring daggers at Miroku.

"For what? You yelled at her for no reason at all! She's fine isn't she?" Sango said getting pissed off at him.

"I only yelled at her to scare her into telling the truth, who knew if she was lying or not? Neko's aren't usually wrong about this kind of stuff and you guys know it!" Inuyasha spat back.

"You still yelled at her Inuyasha." Shippo said from Miroku's shoulder.

'Why do I feel so light headed?' Kagome thought. She looked at her comrades who were arguing but only saw a blur.

"So what? Shut up!" Inuyasha said.

'I feel weak; I can barely stand up…' Kagome thought as lala land began to take over her mind and body.

As Miroku and Sango were about to argue back with Inuyasha, Kagome fainted a few feet behind them. Inuyasha was quick enough to catch her. 'Maybe we spoke to soon.' Miroku and Sango thought.

Inuyasha looked at the Kagome in his arms and than up at Miroku and Sango. "I think you guys spoke too soon." Inuyasha said. 'So, this means she does fantasize about me? Wait, what am I thinking, this is hardly the time.' Inuyasha thought.

"Maybe, she's just sick! Ever thought of that Inuyasha?!" Sango hollered back not wanting to doubt her best friend.

"You really believe that don't you?" Inuyasha asked standing up holding Kagome bridal style.

"Maybe I have some faith in Kagome!" Sango shouted.

"I'm with Sango on this one." Miroku said.

"Yeah me too!" Shippo agreed. "Kagome's not one for lying."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes at his friends. "Let's find some place to rest, and than we'll wait for Kagome to wake up." He said in a bored tone walking past them.

They all followed him. They walked about half an hour and realized a village is probably pretty far from where they are. So they found a nice grassy field on a hillside to camp out. Of course as always there was a tree for Inuyasha to rest in and Sango started a camp fire not too far away from the tree, so she could make some lunch. 'Kagome wouldn't lie to us, no way.' Sango thought firmly. She looked over to where Kagome was, Inuyasha had laid her down on the grass and pulled a blanket out from her backpack and was picking her up to lay her down on it. 'At least,' Sango thought biting her lip, 'I hope she wouldn't.' She turned her gaze back to the fire that had lit perfectly.

Miroku and Shippo had gone off to look for some fire wood for later that night and Inuyasha just sat at the bottom of the tree, not saying a word, just staring at Kagome's sleeping figure. Sango was getting uncomfortable and had to break the silence. "So you really think Kagome's telling the truth?" Inuyasha said breaking the silence, beating her to it.

Sango looked up at Inuyasha and glared at him. "Kagome's my best friend, if she had lied she would have told me after wards… At least, I hope she would." Sango said looking back at the fire depressed.

"So even you have doubts she's telling the truth…" Inuyasha said eyeing her.

"Of course I have doubts! Don't you have doubts about her lying? Don't you think she may be telling the truth and you're over reacting?" Sango yelled back.

"Of course I could be wrong, but I'm usually not, and neither are nekos. You of all people should know that Sango, you're a demon slayer." Inuyasha said bored.

Sango couldn't look at Inuyasha, nor could she respond. He was right, a neko is pretty much always right about this kind of thing, that's why they prey on them, they get sex out of it and everyone's happy afterwards, but the ones who refuse, get cursed. 'I hope Kagome's not cursed.' Sango thought and than she remembered what Razi had said. "Inuyasha?" Sango asked.

"Yeah?"

"What do you think Razi meant?" She asked holding her fist to her chest.

Inuyasha looked at Sango curiously. "Meant what?"

"When she said if Kagome changes not even she could help her?" Sango asked. "Because if Kagome is cursed… And we can't help her, and she can't help her," Sango began holding back tears, "than what will happen to her?" She asked Inuyasha with tears streaming down her face and her arms shaking violently. Inuyasha was stunned, he had never seen Sango like this unless it involved Kohaku, he couldn't respond, he just stared at her. "Kagome's like a sister I never had; like a sibling I lost…" Sango began, Inuyasha knew she meant Kohaku. "I'll go nuts if something happens to her."

"Sango, I won't let Kagome go that easily." Inuyasha began as he pried his eyes off of Sango, he couldn't stand seeing a woman cry. "We all care deeply about her, and I doubt any of us would. So don't worry about it, if I'm right and she did lie, I'll hunt down that stupid cat and find out how to fix it…" Inuyasha began.

Sango looked at him, she smiled and wiped away her tears and nodded her head. "No way can we let Kagome go without a fight." Sango said a bit happier now. She didn't know how, but even though Inuyasha was hard headed at times, he always knew what to say to make his friends happy. 'I'm glad I found these guys.' Sango thought smiling.

Kagome began to stir in her sleep causing Sango's and Inuyasha's eyes to be on her. As soon as she began stirring Inuyasha picked up on a certain scent of hers that drove him nuts. He widened his eyes with shock. Sango noticed Inuyasha's expression. "Inuyasha what is it?" She asked concerned.

"No doubt about it, it's that stupid cat's curse." Inuyasha said in response. 'God damn it Inuyasha! Learn to control yourself!' Inuyasha thought as he was fighting the urge to pounce on Kagome.

"How… How do you know?" Sango asked hoping it wasn't true.

"She's…" Inuyasha began but his throat was going dry. Sango eyed his suspiciously, and he noticed this. He cleared his throat. "She's getting aroused." Inuyasha said looking over at Sango.

"WHAT?!" Sango hollered, and people from villages away probably heard her.

"What what?" Miroku asked as him and Shippo got back with a bunch of fire wood.

"Kagome is, Kagome is…" Sango said not believing it.

"She's what?" Miroku asked.

"She's aroused…" Inuyasha said finishing Sango's sentence.

"This means she did lie to us." Sango said sadly.

Miroku saw how upset this made Sango feel. "Okay, maybe she did lie to us, there could explanations or reasons as to this." Miroku began and all eyes were on him.

"Like what?" Inuyasha questioned. 'This should be good… It may even distract me from Kagome's lovely scent, okay that's it! Self fucking control Inuyasha, self fucking control!' He thought to himself.

"Well maybe she lied out of embarrassment?" Miroku began.

"Than why wouldn't she of told me?" Sango asked. "Did she think I would make fun of her? She tells me everything! Or… at least, so I thought."

"Or, maybe she's just having a dream, I'm sure we've all had one. We shouldn't jump to conclusions, let's just wait until Kagome wakes up and ask her ourselves…" Miroku said trying to cheer Sango. And just as those words left Miroku's mouth, Kagome woke up.

"What happened?" Kagome said sitting up. 'Oh right, I fainted. I wonder why.' Kagome thought and than blush crept onto her face and she turned her head away from the group – who were all staring at her – as she remembered her dream.

"Kagome, are you alright?" Shippo asked jumping on her shoulder breaking her from her thoughts.

"I'm fine Shippo, really I am." She said faking a smile.

"Kagome?" Sango said.

Kagome looked over at Sango and didn't like the look she was giving her, it was a very stern look, too serious for Kagome's mood right now. "Yes Sango?"

"Why did you lie to us?" Sango asked and Inuyasha and Miroku gave her a shocked look.

'When did she decide Kagome was lying?' Miroku thought.

"What are you talking about?" Kagome questioned.

"After you passed out and we brought you here, Razi popped by for a visit, she seemed pleased." Sango began and Miroku and Inuyasha caught on to what she was doing.

"Pleased? Why?" Kagome asked still playing it cool.

"She said her curse was in action, just as she thought it would be." Sango said glaring at Kagome.

"Curse? Her curse was to have me pass out?" She asked confused.

"Pass out and have more fantasies." She said.

"That's ridiculous!" Kagome said. 'Please tell me she's lying.' Kagome thought. "I didn't have another one I…" Kagome blurted and cut herself off as the rest of the group just stared at her astonished.

"Another one?" Sango asked.

"I mean… I didn't have one, I swear…" Kagome said knowing they wouldn't believe her.

"Another one?" Inuyasha asked eyeing her.

Kagome sighed. "I didn't have any at all to begin with!" Kagome said.

"Your words, not ours." Miroku said.

"It was a mistake." Kagome said.

"Even if it wasn't a mistake, you were lying anyways, you were aroused." Inuyasha said glaring at her.

"I mean I…" Kagome began but couldn't say anything.

"So why did you lie to us?" Sango asked not even able to look at her.

"Sango…" Kagome said.

"Why did you lie to me? Why didn't you even tell me?" Sango asked as her tears came back. Kagome just looked at her not knowing how to answer her. "Do you think we can help you now? We don't even know what curse she put on you!" Sango yelled at her.

"Wait what?! I thought she came by and told you guys!" Kagome yelled at her.

"Oh sorry, I lied about that." Sango said glaring at her with puffy red eyes. The boys were just going to stay out of this one.

"And you're cutting me down for lying? Meanwhile you're here telling me lies? Isn't that just being a fucking hypocrite?" Kagome yelled.

"I lied to get you to tell the fucking truth Kagome!" She yelled back at her.

"Two wrongs don't make a right Sango! You're not a kid any more!"

"Well if you didn't lie in the first place, I wouldn't of had to lie to you!"

"Well maybe I just didn't want anyone to fucking know, it's not anyone's business!"

"It became our business when you lied to a neko and she cursed you!"

"Well she should mind her own fucking business as well!"

"It's what nekos do! And heck, she could've minded her own business back there if you didn't let her talk to you, should've waited for Inuyasha's response to that! But no, you are too fucking stubborn and don't know anything!" Sango blurted out, and than felt bad for saying it.

Kagome glared at her. "I don't know anything?"

"Kagome…"

"No, I don't know everything, but I do know a lot of stuff, in my time we don't have to worry about shit like this. Sure we got to worry about a lot of things, but nekos aren't one of them. So maybe I should just stay in my fucking time, I just don't belong here." Kagome said madly.

"That's not what I meant."

"Really? So I have to ask for approval anytime I want to do something now? Or think something's right? Okay, every time in battle I'll ask if I should shoot my arrow, heck, I'll even ask if it's okay if I should protect myself."

"KAGOME!" Sango said getting mad.

"Would you two fucking knock it off already?!" Inuyasha yelled shutting them both up.

"Inuyasha…" Miroku said trying to calm down the angry hanyou.

"You two took this too far. Yes, Sango I agree, she should never of lied to us." He said glaring at Kagome but she avoided his gaze. "And yes, she should never of let that stupid cat near her." Kagome was getting really mad listening to him. "And Kagome, no, you don't need to ask permission for everything, what Sango meant was you have to be more careful. Our era is nothing like yours, and you know that, you even said it yourself. And just because you don't know much about our time, you are learning, so you do belong here. Now stop fucking arguing 'cause we have a stupid cat to hunt down. Understand?" By now they were all shocked Inuyasha was even able to comprehend all of this, and couldn't say anything but just stare at him like idiots. "What?!" He asked fuming getting uncomfortable with everyone staring at him.

Miroku smiled and walked up to him; he put his hand on his shoulder and smiled at him. Inuyasha gave him a weird look. "My, my, my Inuyasha… That was a very impressive speech, never thought you could say something so intelligent." Inuyasha glared at him.

"And what exactly are you implying here?" Inuyasha said getting mad. "You think I'm stupid don't you?"

Miroku laughed at his comrade's reaction. "I didn't say that Inuyasha, just that was a very touching speech, you're usually not one to put things that way. It was very impressive."

'Yeah, sure…' Inuyasha thought. He just glared at him.

"So when are we going to look for Razi?" Shippo asked.

"Well it's already noon, maybe after we eat we could head out…" Inuyasha began and than looked over at Kagome, she noticed this and looked away. "Or maybe tomorrow morning." He said still looking at her.

"Why tomorrow?" Sango asked. "It's not like we have anything else to do today…" Sango said.

"I think Kagome could use some rest, she did pass out today right? Even if it was just the curse." He said while walking towards the tree and sat down at the base of it.
