Chapter 11: Sick Day
Kagome knows which way the game room and heads that way. When she enters, she sees Sango and Miroku playing pool. "Hey guys, I'm here." Kagome comes in. Sango looks at her in surprise, "Hey, what brings you here?" She asked her confused. Kagome looks back just the same way. "You texted me to come over? So we could do our homework together." Kagome explains the reason. Sango looks into her bag to pull out her cell phone and opens it to see that it was sent straight to her messenger app. "I didn't text you?" She claims. Kagome hmms, "Really? When I got it, it had you're name on it and everything." Kagome replies as she shows Sango the proof. Sango blinks as she sees Miroku about to sneak out of the room via through the reflective image on her phone.
Just seeing Miroku sneaking out is more than enough to convince Sango and Kagome glare at him. "MIROKU!" Sango growls as she chases after him. Miroku runs straight out of the back door and into the back yard with Sango right behind. "You jerk hacked into my phone again." She shouts as she tackles him onto the ground. "This is the fourth time I have to change my settings. I'm going to kill you, Miroku." Sango pins him down. "Sango, I can explain." Miroku pleas through his uncomfortable position. "Save it you jerk." She continues to beat him to a bloody pulp.
Inuyasha groans as he looks out the window to witness the scene. "Seriously, Miroku. You don't know when to keep your hands to yourself." He holds his head, due to the headache already. He looks out the window to see the two as if they were wrestling. He looks down to see Kagome looking amused. "I should've been able to sniff her scent. I think this cold has lost that ability for now." He didn't expect Kagome to come over. He's sick for crying out loud. He doesn't want his friends to come over at all. Not right now that is. He groans and coughs as he gets into his robe and goes to the back door.
Kagome couldn't stop shaking her head, witnessing how those of all friends she's had over the years would change and yet remain the same. "They're always like this." Inuyasha spoke behind her. Kagome turns around in alarm. "Oh whoa I didn't know you were behind me." Kagome takes a few deep breathes to slow down her fast beating heart. Inuyasha ignores the girl as he keeps on watching Miroku getting beaten up. "Alright you two, that's enough." Inuyasha gets in between the two. Inuyasha grabs hold of Sango while Kagome gets Miroku from behind. "Guys, I need to rest so you can go home." Inuyasha begins coughs miserably and faints. "Inuyasha!" Kagome runs down to him.
Izayoi runs out of the house and gets to his other side. "Inuyasha, honestly. You don't know when to do as I say." She scolds him. She grabs hold of his arm while Miroku grabs his other arm. "I thought I told you guys to leave. I don't want you to catch his cold." Izayoi said to him and Sango specifically. "We were about to Mr. Takahashi…" Sango tries to start, but Izayoi puts her hand up. "We'll talk later. Right now we need to get my son back to his room." She and Miroku carry Inuyasha upstairs. Kagome looks so worried that she wants to help out. Sango takes hold of her shoulder, "Let's just make sure he's okay." She comforts her as they both go inside.
Inuyasha moans as he comes to after feeling something cold on his forehead. "What happened?" He asks whoever it was that placed the ice pack onto his head. "You fainted after coughing so badly." Kagome answers the question as she gives Inuyasha some ginger ale. "You're here still." He looks at her. Kagome nods as she gets her backpack. "I've your homework with me. You don't want to fall behind." She pulls out the assigned stuff from the teachers at the school. "Tell me something I don't know." Inuyasha speaks sarcastically and begins coughing again. Kagome sighs, "Suck it up, Inuyasha. You're a half demon for crying out loud. You've been through worst stuff than this. This cough should be easy for you to get through." Kagome sneers at him.
All Inuyasha humphs and turns his head away from her, "Says you. You don't know what's it like to be a half demon. I'm a being that isn't excepted into any class, any living being." He mutters under his breath. Kagome shakes her head. "When we met I never rejected you, even though you were disguised as a human so you could blend in with the crowd." She playfully backhands the ice pack on his forehead. Upon the impact, Inuyasha growls in pain. "That hurt you know." He glares at her. Kagome smirks, "Good, that proves that you're okay." Kagome sits back down onto his desk chair to open up a page. "So which one should we do first? Science, history, math, literature?" Kagome goes through the agenda where she's been assigned for homework. She turns her head to see Inuyasha fast asleep. Just seeing that made her smile sweetly to him. 'Sleeping like a puppy.'
Being a good friend that she is, she decides to make a sheet of the answers on all of the subjects. From the formulas of the math equations, to the notes of Literature, the timeline of History and the details of Science and everything in between. Even though she did his homework, she had to do her own back home, hence the title "Homework." Izayoi comes in to see Inuyasha asleep while Kagome is doing his homework. Izayoi smiles at the scene and comes up to Kagome. "You know you don't have to do his homework." She deeply protests her quietly not to wake up her son. Kagome shakes her head, "I just thought that I would leave out the information he needs to know. Besides he has until Monday to get this finish." She looks back up with a smile of her own. "I'll be leaving soon anyway." She stands back up and grabs her bag and heads out the door.
Izayoi couldn't let go of her own expression and looks back to her sleeping son. "My son. You should be grateful you have a friend like her." She comments and leaves the room and let her son continue on resting.
