For once the lying was the truth. Kagome had fallen ill with a terrible flu. She had come back early from the Sengoku Jidai after Inuyasha became annoyed by her constant vomiting and fevers and complained that she was only slowing the group down. After a few sits, he finally gave in took her back to the well, offering that he would whip up a new medicine that he had learned from his mother. She declined, her stomach turning at the thought of it and explained that there were medicines in her time that would help.
Kagome groaned and rolled over, she couldn't keep anything down at all that day and the shivers shook her body. She couldn't remember the last time that she had been this sick. At least she didn't have to feel guilty about lying this time.
She heard a light shuffling of feet then a small knock on her door.
"Come in," she croaked as she sat up slightly, pulling the covers with her.
The door opened and she was surprised not to see her mother, but instead the young man whom she had been seeing for quite some time now.
"Kurama-kun!" she shouted and regretted it when he winced slightly as he steadied a tray occupied with a large bowl of soup, "Sorry…I'm just surprised to see you…"
"Your mother called me and said you had a flu. I made you some soup, and I'm going to make sure you eat it." He quickly went back to the door and closed it slightly before taking a seat next to her on the bed.
"What's wrong Kagome-chan?" he asked, blowing slightly on the spoon-full of hot soup and slowly brought it to her lips, "You have to try and eat, you need to have something in your stomach to help get better."
"I know…I just don't think that I can…"
"Never think negatively," he popped the spoon in her mouth quickly, "Please eat, I want to see you well again."
Kagome swallowed the soup painfully and held her stomach as she waited for it settle. She glanced back up at him through her thick bangs and felt a blush creep across her face. She knew that he had come here right after school for he was still wearing his magenta-colored school uniform.
"Kurama-kun…"
He glanced down at her as he blew on the next spoon-full of soup before holding it to her mouth, "Yes Kagome-chan?"
She swallowed the soup, "Why are you here? I don't want you to get sick…"
"Don't you worry about me," he chuckled gently, "worry about getting better. We don't want you to be the sick girl that you are rumored be."
She smiled slightly, "But still…"
"I told you not to worry, I'm here because I want take care of you and make sure you feel better again." He gave her another spoon-full after cooling it off.
"Thank you…"
He smiled gently at her.
"I think I've had enough Kurama-kun..."
He gave her a concerned look before setting the tray on her desk. He walked back over to her and placed a hand on her forehead, "You're burning up." He stated and took the nearby cloth and put it in the cool bowl of water that her mother had placed on the floor before he arrived. Squeezing it out, he placed it back on her forehead.
"Kurama-kun," she shivered, "I'm so c-cold…"
He studied her for a moment, placing a hand on her cheek before removing his magenta jacket and throwing it on the nearby chair.
Kagome watched curiously then in horror as he pulled back her covers and climbed in next to her. "K-Kurama-kun, please!"
"Kagome-chan, I won't get sick. And if I do, you can take care of me." He laughed slightly.
"B-but…but…"
"No, buts."
"Kurama-kun, I don't want you to see me this way. Even Inuyasha was getting disgusted…"
"Kagome-chan we've been through this before," he pulled the covers up over them and pulled her shivering body close to him, "I don't care how you look, you're beautiful regardless you're sick or not. I love you no matter what, you understand?" he whispered and kissed lips softly while rubbing her stomach soothingly, "I love you. Now have some rest, I'll keep you warm."
"I love you too, Kurama-kun…" she whispered in return as she settled against his warm body and drifted off with a smile.
