Dreams
Kagome awoke, dreams of Sesshomaru's fleeting touch fading from her already hazy awareness. The first clear thought that entered her mind was Rin. The young woman scrambled onto her hands and knees, checking the little girl's temperature, pulse and respiration rate. She sighed at the still-high fever, the rhythmic but slow heartbeat and the wet, shallow breathing. This did not bode well at all for the little girl.
"Sango!" the priestess called. "Come help me, please." Kagome pulled at the little girl's colorful kimono, stripping her down to the light yukata underneath. While Sango pressed cold, wet rags to the little girl's forehead, Kagome searched her bag for the bottle of pain-killer she knew was in there somewhere. The little white bottle surfaced at the very bottom of the yellow monstrosity, after everything else had been dumped on the ground and sorted through. She skimmed the ingredients and prayed Rin wasn't allergic to any of these futuristic things. Her grey eyes carefully read the directions, popping the lid and shaking one little acetaminophen into her palm.
She capped the bottle and tossed it back into her bag, scooting on her knees to the little girl's side. Her hand was caught in a much larger, stronger grip and she looked into a set of golden eyes as cold as South Pole.
"It's medicine," Kagome said quietly. "It's supposed to help break her fever. It's very high, Sesshomaru-sama. We need to bring it down quickly." He released her wrist and stepped back, watching as the slayer and healer worked on his human.
Two? Three? Days late... yeah, I know. Sorry. Hopefully I'll do better next week. -_-
