CHAPTER THREE: Together again.
Meanwhile, in the feudal era...
Rin put a damp cloth on Sesshomaru's forehead.
"This is bad. His fever's getting worse." Sango said.
"How'd this happen?" Kagome asked.
"Ever since the fight with Naraku, Lord Sesshomaru has been acting differently. I never thought it could be illness. If he dies..." Jaken said, trailing off.
"He's not. Sesshomaru can't be beaten by a poison." Inuyasha said.
"Inuyasha..." Kagome said.
'Maybe you don't really hate Sesshomaru, after all.' Kagome thought.
A red light glowed behind the group.
"What's that?!" Sango asked, loudly.
Rin studied it and saw a figure.
"Big Sister!" Rin yelled.
"Huh? It is Yuko!" Kagome said.
"Sesshomaru!" Yuko yelled, seeing Sesshomaru on the ground.
She ran over to him and got on her knees.
"How long has he been like this?" Yuko asked, worried.
"Several hours. Sesshomaru's got a bad fever, too" Kagome said.
Yuko took his hand.
He groaned quietly.
"Yuko.." Sesshomaru said, quietly.
The others gasped.
Yuko powered up her Shikigami.
"What're you doing?!" Jaken yelled.
"I can use my Shikigami to heal. I've gotta try." Yuko said.
Sesshomaru started glowing
A few minutes passed with no real change. Until...
"Master Jaken look!" Rin yelled.
"What is it?" Jaken said, irritated.
"His arm...Lord Sesshomaru's left arm is back!!" Rin yelled.
"WHAT?!" The others yelled.
About thirty seconds later, Yuko collapsed onto Sesshomaru's chest.
"Yuko!!" Kagome and Sango yelled.
"She's fine, just exhausted." Miroku said.
Rin felt Sesshomaru's forehead.
"His fever's gone down! It worked!" Rin said, loudly.
"Oh, Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken said, crying.
Sesshomaru sighed quietly.
"Yuko..." He whispered.
Only Inuyasha noticed this time.
'I wonder...' Inuyasha thought.
"Sesshomaru's going to recover." Kagome said.
"So, now what do we do?" Shippo asked.
"We stay here." Yuko said.
"You're awake!" Sango said.
"I can't leave yet. Besides, we've got some catching up to do." Yuko said.
"Big Sister!" Rin said, hugging Yuko.
"Rin..." Yuko said, hugging her back.
"Hey, Jaken, is there any place nearby to catch fish?" Kagome asked.
"Yes, but its pretty far..." Jaken said, hesitant to leave.
"Yuko and Inuyasha will be here to look after him. Don't worry." Kagome said.
The others left.
"I'm glad you're here, Big Sister." Rin said.
"Me too." Yuko said.
A few minutes later, Rin's updates got to when Sesshomaru started to act differently.
"Lord Sesshomaru started acting sad after you left. But, when we got back here, it got worse.
He seemed so lonely. In his sleep, he'd say your name sadly. During the day, he'd watch the clouds, looking sad." Rin said.
"Really?" Yuko asked.
"Yeah. When Lord Sesshomaru watched the clouds, I think he was thinking about you." Rin said.
"Maybe he was, I left kinda' sudden." Yuko said.
"I think you two should get married." Rin said, out of the blue.
Inuyasha fell over
"HUH?!" Yuko said, blushing deep red.
"Why not? You get along and, this way, you won't have to leave." Rin said.
"Rin..." Yuko said.
Inuyasha sat back up
'She just doesn't want me to leave again...' Yuko thought.
"Besides..." Rin said, with a small smile.
"Besides, what?" Yuko asked.
Rin motioned Yuko closer.
"Lord Sesshomaru's in love with you." Rin whispered in Yuko's ear.
Inuyasha fell over again.
"WHAT?!" Yuko yelled.
"I know he is. I can feel it and I can prove it, too." Rin said.
"How?" Inuyasha asked.
Rin pointed to Yuko's hand, being held by Sesshomaru's hand.
"Try to pull your hand away." Rin said.
Yuko tried to pull away, but Sesshomaru tightened his grip on her.
"He's not lettin' ya' go..." Inuyasha said, a little confused.
"We're back!" Kagome yelled.
"Finally, I'm starvin'!" Inuyasha said, and ran off.
Yuko giggled at him.
She blushed, lightly.
'Rin's...wrong, right? Sesshomaru can't be...' Yuko thought.
LATER THAT NIGHT...
Yuko was leaning against a tree. She'd moved Sesshomaru so his head would be in her lap.
'The ground can't be comfortable like that.' Yuko thought.
Sesshomaru sighed, turning his head toward her.
"Yuko..." He whispered.
Yuko smiled.
"I missed you..." Sesshomaru whispered.
Yuko gasped.
'Maybe...could Rin be right?' Yuko thought.
"How's he doin'?" Inuyasha asked.
"Oh, he'd fine. Still sound asleep." Yuko said.
Inuyasha looked a little relieved.
"You don't really hate him, do you?" Yuko asked.
"He started it. He hated me before we ever met. I wanted to know about Father, but Sesshomaru didn't want anything
to do with me. Mother said Sesshomaru was alot like my father, so I figured he'd hate me too." Inuyasha said, sadly.
"Inuyasha..." Yuko said.
"Hey, don't feel sorry for me!" Inuyasha said.
"Okay." Yuko said.
"Uh..." Inuyasha said.
"What?" Yuko asked.
"How do you...feel about Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asked.
"HUH?! Well, I...Uh..." Yuko said, nervously
"Don't fall for 'im. He'd only hurt you. Sesshomaru'd never fall for a human." Inuyasha said.(A/N: That's what he thinks )
"Yell if you need anything." He said, walking away.
About an hour later, Yuko couldn't sleep.
Everyone else was asleep already.
Yuko got her CD player out of her backpack.
Sesshomaru groaned quietly and moved closer to her.
Yuko moved a strand of Sesshomaru's hair out of his face.
She blushed slightly, starring at him.
'He looks so peacefull.' Yuko thought.
Sesshomaru turned away slightly.
Yuko smiled, still blushing.
'Don't fall for 'im. he'd only hurt you...' Yuko remembered Inuyasha saying.
'I'm not falling for Sesshomaru.' Yuko thought. (A/N: Because you already have fallen for him!)
Sesshomaru groaned quietly, waking up.
He slowly opened his eyes, looking into Yuko's eyes.
"So, you've returned." Sesshomaru said.
"Yeah. Are you feeling better?" Yuko said.
"Yes, but how?" Sesshomaru asked.
"I used my healing Shikigami. You should be cured." Yuko said.
"Hm, you are impressive. I even got my arm back." Sesshomaru said.
Yuko giggled, quietly.
Sesshomaru studied her face.
She blushed, slightly.
"What? Is there something on my face?" Yuko asked.
"No." Sesshomaru said, looking away.
"How long before you leave again?" Sesshomaru asked, with a hint of sadness.
"I...I don't know. I came here without thinking. I just found out how to get here today, and I'm not sure how to get back yet." Yuko said.
Sesshomaru's eyes widened slightly, turning back to her.
"Why so sudden? You could've waited until you knew how to get back." He said.
"Well...I..." Yuko hesitated.
"When I heard you were sick, I just...I had to help somehow. I didn't want you to die." Yuko said.
"Hm, a simple poison can't kill me." Sesshomaru said, looking away.
"I know, but..." Yuko said.
A tear landed on Sesshomaru's cheek.
'She's crying...' Sesshomaru thought, turning back to Yuko.
"I had to come, I couldn't stand knowing I could help if I returned to this world. If I hadn't come...and you had died..." Yuko said, tears rolling down her face.
She shut her eyes tightly, trying to stop the tears.
Sesshomaru touched Yuko's face, wiping her tears away.
Yuko gasped quietly, opening her eyes.
Sesshomaru's eyes practicly sparkled, almost to replace a smile.
"I'm...glad you came. Don't cry, Yuko." He said.
"Sesshomaru...I..." Yuko said.
Sesshomaru held Yuko's hand and fell asleep.
Yuko watched him sleep for a minute or two and got her CD player.
Putting on her headphones, 'I've gotta crush on you' played.
'You've gotta be kidding...' Yuko thought.
'Lord Sesshomaru's in love with you.' She remembered Rin saying.
'There's no way...but, how do I feel?' Yuko thought.
