Chapter 26: A Fever
About half way when Kagome realized the numbness was gone and was able to get up and walk, tried getting out of the hanyou's grip on her. "Inuyasha let me down, I can walk now."
Inuyasha placed her on the ground and ran over to Sango retrieving her beloved daughter.
Right then a big dusk of ice cold wind blew. "I think there is going to be a blizzard…" Miroku predicted out of sight.
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha, "We need to stop somewhere, I don't want the baby getting sick…" Kagome seem worried.
"Miroku," Inuyasha turned to look at him, "didn't we pass a village not to long ago?"
Miroku thought for a moment, "Yes, about 3 miles back, but it's better than nothing."
Then the group carried their belongings and trotted to the past village to pass the storm.
---
"It seems you have a large demonic aura surrounding this village," the lying monk mentioned while holding his right hand up to his face to form a prayer.
The head village man awed strangely, "That's odd, in this time of whether?"
Miroku opened his eyes to look at the old man, "Yes, it seems as a snow demon."
"I see," then the old man clapped his hands. "Alright my friends, you are welcome to stay as long as you like until this demon is at an end," he paused and stood up. "How many rooms would you need?"
"Two," Inuyasha answered before Miroku could.
"Aright then, I'll bring you to them," and the man lead them out.
Inuyasha thought it would be a good Idea if the girls would have their own room and them in the other. That way Kagome would be able to catch up to her 'bonding' with Sango.
The man stopped to two sliding doors next to each other and turned back to the group. "Well here are you rooms, it's late. So if would like Miroku, you may work in the morning."
"Thank you kind sir," Miroku smiled and turned to Sango and Kagome. "Well I'm off to bed, goodnight." Then he stepped in his room with Shippo right behind. And Sango did the same in hers.
Kagome held Emi carefully and looked at Inuyasha. "I guess I'll see you in the morning…"
Inuyasha knew she felt nervous not having him by her side for a night; he wasn't going to ruin Sango's night to spend time with her friend. "I'll be right next door if you need anything; go spend time with Sango." And he walked in the room where Miroku went.
Kagome went in her room and shut the door behind her. She smiled at Sango and sat down next to her. "You look different Sango, what did you do?"
"Do?" she questioned and smiled.
"Yeah, you must have changed something about your look… New hair cut?"
Sango shook her head, "No, but I did a new kimono," she laughed.
Kagome laughed at her blindness of speech, "Oh, where did you get it from."
"Miroku bought it for me," she blushed.
Kagome smiled slightly but then soon faded.
"What's wrong?" Sango leaned over to look at her.
Kagome lifted up her top and tried to feed the small infant in her arms, but the baby just refused, "I don't know what's wrong with her… She won't eat, sleep, or cry."
"I'm sure she's fine, she's probably getting used to the environment." Sango smiled and scooted to her futon.
"Yeah, but I don't know if…" She stopped her sentence when her hand felt Emi's forehead. She was BURNING.
"If?" Sango reminded her.
"She… She has a fever…" She said worryingly. "I don't thing she feels good, I hope nothing serious happens… You know what? It might have been from when we were in the barrier."
"Well why don't you put her to sleep and see what happens tomorrow, maybe she just needs a good night sleep" Sango said as she yawned.
"Alright." Kagome lied down on her futon with Emi besides her as they slept."
