DDZ: Chapter 2! Yes, yes, yes. Such good ideas in reviews...
Sango: I still don't like this story...
DDZ: Well, some people do! So there! Now, InuYasha, disclaimer.
InuYasha: Why should I?!
DDZ: Because I control who you fall in love with in this story.
InuYasha: Like I care? It's just a story.
DDZ: Just...a...story...?! (eyes flame red)
Randomness Master (DDZ's little sister): (Walks in randomly) Hey! (spots red eyes) OO oooh. Someone just insulted your fanfic, didn't they?... Well, whoever did it, I pray for you! (sits down to watch show)
InuYasha: I did! Like I have to worry about her?! Yeah right. She's just a measly human!
DDZ: Just...a...story...?!?!
Readers: OOu
RM: (munches on candy) OO
DDZ: (tackles InuYasha) DIIIIEEEEE!!!!!
InuYasha: (gets beat up beyond recognition)
DDZ: I feel better now. Does anyone else think it's just...a...story...?!
Readers left: OO (shakes head)
DDZ: Good. I still don't own InuYasha or anything in it except ramen. Let's start.
Later that day, the InuYasha gang was walking through another forest. Sango was still staring at InuYasha, who was hiding behind Kagome, and Kagome was working hard not to look at Miroku, blushing whenever she did, as he was getting very perverted thoughts because of the signs she was trying not to show. As they walked out of the forest, they entered Kikyou's town. Kaede looked up at them when they came that way.
"InuYasha? Kagome? What brings you here?" Kaede asked them.
"I needed to get back to my time for a while." Kagome replied.
"Oh." Kaede glanced down at her hand. "Did something bite you, Kagome?" she asked.
"I don't know. I don't think that's what it is, but I'm not ruling it out."
"You mean to tell me you don't know what it is?"
"Right. Sango has it too. Could you figure out what it is?" Kagome asked Kaede hopefully.
"I could certainly try." she replied. "Follow me." Then she walked into her home, Kagome, Sango, Kirara, InuYasha, Shippou, and Miroku following behind. She sat down on the floor and gestured to the others. "Sit."
They all sat down around Kaede. "Sango should go first, since she was the first to be affected." Kagome stated.
Sango nodded and put her arm in front of Kaede. She glanced over at InuYasha, who hid behind Kagome again. Kagome sighed and started "Sango, you're-."
"She's not scaring me, dammit!!!" InuYasha interrupted.
"Be quiet, InuYasha." Kaede instructed him. InuYasha grumbled. "Let's see, now…" Kaede continued, "That's strange. It's pink and shaped like a heart. I wonder..."
"Wonder what?" Kagome asked, slightly worried, considering she had the same problem.
"I wonder..." Kaede replied, "if I can figure out what it is. I don't recognize it either."
Kagome sighed. That wasn't what she'd expected to hear, but it could be worse. She was still trying not to look at Miroku. "Well, then I'm going to my time. Maybe the doctors will know something." Kagome told them, though she doubted they'd know anything.
"That's a good idea." Kaede said.
"When will you be back this time?" InuYasha asked, wondering how long he'd have to deal with Sango.
"I don't know. I'll try to be back in about two days." Then, she stood up and walked out the door, waving goodbye to the group. She went to the well and jumped in, hoping she won't have to come back empty-handed.
Shippou looked up at Kaede. "Do you think you can figure it out, Kaede? Sango and Kagome have been acting really strange."
"Oh?" Kaede asked, "Yes, I noticed, although, it would help to know all the symptoms."
"Well," Shippou answered, "They've been staring at people a lot lately, Sango's been scaring InuYasha with it-."
"I'M NOT SCARED!!!" InuYasha yelled.
"Sango has been staring at InuYasha with that look in her eyes, and Kagome has done the same toward myself." Miroku filled Kaede in. "And it all started when these marks showed up; Sango's this morning, and Kagome's this afternoon."
"What look? You mean That look?" Kaede asked.
"Yes, That look." Miroku replied.
"Oh, my." Kaede replied.
"What look?" InuYasha asked, clueless on the topic as always.
"Don't worry about it, InuYasha." Shippou, Miroku and Kaede all told him. "I've never heard of such a thing." Kaede continued. "I'm sorry."
"That's fine." Sango told her. "I'm sure Kagome will come up with something."
Meanwhile, Kagome's Time
Kagome's grandfather was looking at Kagome's finger with excitement in his eyes. "It's perfect!!!"
Kagome's mom was looking at it with a worried expression. "What's perfect?"
"It's perfect for a new disease! Just recreate more around here…-."
"No, grandpa!! That's not what I'm here for!!" Kagome shouted, frusterated.
"Kagome, you said you needed to know what it is?" Kagome's mom asked her.
"Yes. Do you know?"
"No, but perhaps a doctor will." Her mom answered.
"Mama, this problem is ancient." she said.
"And perhaps it still exists. It's just a suggestion, Kagome." Her mom told her.
Kagome nodded. "Right. I'll go check it now…" She walked out of the room.
In InuYasha's Time
InuYasha was sitting in front of the well, waiting impatiently for Kagome. "Dammit, where is she?!" he asked.
"She's only been gone an hour, InuYasha." Sango informed him, sitting 15 feet away – as close as InuYasha would let her get.
"Who asked you?!" InuYasha shot angrily.
Sango blushed. "I was only stating." She replied, looking away.
Miroku watched her sadly, wishing her affection was still saved for him.
"Yeah, but it's still a long time to wait… Do we have to sit here?" Shippou asked impaciently.
Miroku shook his head. "I don't see why we should. The town is just over there."
InuYasha glared at the well stubbornly. "I'm staying right here!"
"InuYasha, come with - " Sango started.
"Get back!!" InuYasha shouted, standing up, ready to fight, after Sango took one step toward him.
"Fine…" Sango sighed, stepping back and sitting down.
"You can come with us, Sango." Miroku said hoping that Sango would pay some attention to him.
"I'll wait here." Sango replied, looking annoyed from InuYasha's yelling.
"Ow!" Shippou suddenly shouted.
"What is it, Shippou?" Sango and Miroku asked.
Shippou holds up his leg, looking at the round, green bump on it.
"Uh-oh…" Sango said, recognizing it from her arm that morning.
Shippou, without looking at anyone, got up and immediately ran off, calling to Kaede.
In Kagome's time
"So you don't recognize it?" Kagome asked the doctor, wanting to solidify the information 3 doctors had given her.
"No, I'm sorry. But it doesn't look too serious." The doctor told her.
"Right." Kagome sighed. She left to go home, disappointed at the fact that it was getting late and she hadn't found anything out.
In InuYasha's time
Kaede looked at Shippou's leg thoughtfully. "Contagious, do you think?" she asked.
"Possibly." Miroku replied.
Shippou sat there, looking down at the floor.
"Are you alright?" Sango asked him, momentarily forgetting that InuYasha was right outside.
"Huh?" Shippou looked up at Sango, blushing slightly.
"Well, is something wrong, Shippou?" Kaede asked him.
Shippou looked at Kaede and blushed even more, as he looked back down. ". . . No. . . " he replied, staring at the floor once again.
"If you're sure…" Sango said distractedly, as she looked out the window at InuYasha, who had been looking in the window, but ducked when Sango looked.
Miroku just watched that scene, momentarily forgetting about Shippou and Kaede from his jealosy.
Kaede sighed. "Well, it's getting late, I suggest that you get to sleep. If you need a place to stay, you can stay here tonight."
Sango smiled. "Thank you. That would be nice."
Miroku nodded.
"No way!" InuYasha said. "I'm staying outside!" Then, he ran off and jumped into the trees, disappearing before Sango could protest.
"I'll get the rooms ready." Kaede walked off, leaving Sango staring worriedly outside the window, Miroku staring sadly at Sango, and Shippou still staring at the floor blushing.
