Ch.4 Sick
Kagome turned around, not sure if that was the right thing to do. She had a bit of a bad past with guys, considering she had turned so many down, being to caught up in Miroku to care about anyone else. Inuyasha would always protect her when they got to pushy about it.
When Kagome decided to turn around, ice blue eyes were staring straight at her.
"Koga!" Kagome yelled, standing up and hugging him. Koga was one of the guys she turned down, but instead of hating her they became good friends. He knew a little about her liking Miroku, but not that she was in love with him.
"Hey, Kags! It's been a long time. How are you?" Koga said, a huge smile plastered on his face.
"I've been pretty good. College is so much different than high school. It's more than I expected." Kagome laughed a little.
"Ya, I know what you mean. I heard about your gramps. Is everything ok wiht your family?" Koga had always been good friends with her family, even before high school.
"It's been...alright. I guess. Mom's been pretty upset. He was my dad's father, but after Dad died, he became Mom's dad too, you know? Then I left right after. I was a little worried at first, but she seems to be ok. She still has Sota, of course." Kagome explained, a said smile playing on her lips.
While Kagome was catching up with Koga, Sesshomaru came out of the bathroom. He saw the two, and how Kagome smiled, and instantly became jealous.
Not sure what was wrong with himself, Sesshomaru quietly walked over to the cashier and paid the bill. Then he returned to his table, were Kagome was still standing.
"Oh, hey, Sesshomaru. This is-" Kagome was cut off.
"I don't who he is. I'm leaving. Have fun with your boyfriend." Sesshomaru said coldly, while walking away.
"Hey! What the hell is your problem? Sorry, Koga. I'll see you around, k?"
"Do you want me to take you home?" Koga asked.
"No, it's ok. Your meeting your girlfriend right?" Koga only nodded. "Ok, I've really got to go. I'll call you soon." With that, Kagome ran out the door.
When she got to Sesshomaru's car, he was starting it up and the door was locked. He rolled down his window.
"Go away. Get a ride with that filthy wolf for all I care." Sesshomaru was obviously still fuming.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" I was just-"
"I don't care! Now move so I can leave!"
Kagome slightly backed up and Sesshomaru sped out of the parking lot and down the street.
"Bastard. Now what am I going to do?" She took out her cell phone, only to see it had no service. "Great. How can this get any worse?" Kagome went and sat on the bench in front of the resturant and thought through her options.
Finally she decided on walking. The school wasn't too far.
She soon found it was the worst idea she could possibly come up with, as it started raining.
"Dammit. Ugh, guess I'll call Sango." She took out her phone. Then, looked at it disappointed. "If I freakin had service!" With nothing else to do, Kagome walked the rest of the way back to her dorm.
When she finally got back twenty minutes later, Kagome was soaked to bone. After she opened the door, the first thing she saw was Miroku on the couch with a sleeping Sango in his arms.
Miroku looked up at the sound of the door opening, seeing Kagome standing in the doorway, about to collapse.
"Kagome, are you ok?" He said, trying not to wake his girlfriend.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just going to go to bed." She tried to walk, but fell against the wall.
Miroku got up as quickly as could, practically running to Kagome.
"What happened? I thought you were on a date." Miroku said, helping her up. He wrapped her arm over his shoulders and walked with her to her room.
"With Koga...he got mad...left...walked home...started raining..." Kagome could barely talk, as she panted form exhaustion.
Miroku grabbed a pair of her PJs and quickly put them on her, not a single perverted thought in his mind, only worry. He felt her forehead.
"Oh my god, Kagome. Your burning up! Lay down. I'll go get the thermometer" Miroku walked out. When he came back a minute later, Kagome was asleep.
"You're so reckless sometimes. Jeeze. Sleep well." Miroku took the thermometer out of her mouth and gently kissed her forehead before flipping of her light and walking out. 'Even when I'm with Sango, I still love Kagome. But it doesn't matter, since she'll never love me back. That's why I must move on. And, plus, I'm slowly starting to fall for Sango.'
The next morning Kagome woke up at 8:45.
"Oh my god! My first class is already almost over! Crap!" She jumped out of bed, then felt lightheaded and sat back down.
"Well, if I hurry I can make it to my second class, I guess." Kagome get up and started to get ready, skipping a shower.
Once she was finished, she went to kitchen. On the counter was a note and a small bag. The note said:
Kagome,
Your had a temp. of 104 so I went and got you some soup and sprite. I hope feel better in the morning, but don't push yourself. Oh and look in the freezer. I got you something special.
-Miroku
Kagome smiled lightly to herself. 'No matter how much I try, I can't get over him. His kindness shows in everything he does.' She looked in the bag to see 3 cans of chicken noodle soup and 2 bottles of sprite. When she looked in the freezer, there was a huge carton of her favorite ice cream. 'God I love him!'
She looked over at the clock. It read 9:15.
"Well, I've got ten minutes to get to class. Just enough time." Kagome grabbed her stuff headed off to class.
Everyone was pretty surprised to see Kagome up and out of bed and tried to get her to go back, but she refused to.
It was now lunch. Kagome just ate an apple and drank some juice, enjoying her friends' company.
"Are you sure you're ok? You've been coughing sneezing all day. And you looked like you were about to pass out earlier when you yelled at Inuyasha." Miroku said, obviously worried. Everyone was, even Kikyo.
"Guys, I'm fine. The fever is gone. It's just a small cold now." Kagome smiled, reassuring everyone for the tenth time that day.
After a few more minutes of talking, Inuyasha noticed Sesshomaru walking towards them.
"What do you want?" Inuyasha asked, getting up and standing in front of Kagome.
Everyone turned to look at who had gotten Inuyasha so pissed off. Kagome almost gasped, seeing the man who had caused her to get such a bad fever.
"I would like to speak to Kagome." Sesshomaru said calmly.
"Like hell you will! She had a terrible fever because of you, you selfish bastard!"
"It's not my fault her boyfriend wasn't willing to take her home." Sesshomaru said, getting angry.
"That was her friend from high school, you idiot!" Sango yelled.
"Kagome, get out of here." Inuyasha said.
She stood up and started to walk away, feeling lightheaded from all the yelling.
After getting about five feet away, all the noises got louder, making Kagome collapsed.
