Disclaimer: "Inuyasha should be mine.." Merfair grumbles to herself as
she leans against a tree. Suddenly a gush of wind rushes past her. "I
have a knack for attracting all the bad guys, don't I?" She sighed.
"Who's a bad guy?" Kagura raised her eyebrow. "If you help me escape from Naruku I can get those papers for you.the rights of Inuyasha, ne?"
"There's nothing I can do.I have nothing, no powers."
"I knew you were of no use the moment I saw you!"
"Gee thanks and here I was thinking you were my favorite of all of Naraku's minions." She hopped onto her feather and fluttered away. "There she goes.off on her damn giant pigeon feather.wonder if she ever cleaned it? Ewww."
Chapter 2:
Inuyasha finally awoke from his life restoring sleep. He felt a cool sensation on his forehead and looked up to find Kagome, her eyes closed, sitting next to him with her hand on the damp cloth. It was early morning and he figured she'd been awake the whole night looking after him. "Kagome?" Her eyes snapped open.
"Oh sorry, I dozed off. I'll go get some fresh water." She went to get up.
"You must be tired. Go to sleep; I'm alright."
"Don't be silly." She smiled, "I'm taking care of you," She yawned, but still tried to hide it.
"Baka.go to sleep."
"Nope." She walked out the door.
"Inuyasha?" Miroku quietly asked, "Are you feeling okay? Of course you are, you're getting tender loving care."
"Oi." He tried to get up to smack him, but he faltered.
"You shouldn't move. That Kaze no Kizu of yours does a number on you."
"Damn him.using that stupid mirror again. He's such a coward, can't even kill me." The door opened; red eyes glared in. Miroku knew better and quickly feigned sleep.
"Inu-ya-sha."
"Eeeee.."
"I told you to go back to sleep! And Miroku-sama you know better to not bother him when he's wounded. He'll only want to hurt you and hurt himself in the process." Miroku still pretended to be asleep. Inuyasha was sitting up cuz he was about to attack the monk just moments before. Kagome gently pushed the stubborn hanyou back down.
"I'm not a baby you know."
"I know, but it's kinda nice being babied sometimes." She placed a blanket over him. He was very tired, even though he would never admit it. He quickly fell back to sleep. "Good he's asleep. He's so stubborn sometimes. I just want to comfort him, give him a sense of security even if it's for a fleeting moment." She let out a heavy sigh and dozed off as well leaning on his shoulder.
The next morning it was cloudy, a dreary day, a good day to rest. "Owww!"
"Inuyasha?" His scream woke her up. He was tossing and writhing like a snake on the floor. "Inuyasha, what's wrong?"
"It's..burning!" He agonized. Kagome was startled and didn't know what to make of this. She got him to settle down and opened up his shirt to see that the wound had gotten worse. It was purplish in color and hot to the touch. Miroku and Sango who had heard the ruckus rushed in.
"Oh my." Sango clasped her hand over her mouth.
"It's horrible." He looked closer at the swollen wound. "This is miasma, Naraku's miasma. It's strong; it's gotta be to be making him this sick. It's like it's infected." Kagome got some more water and tried to wash it, but it hurt him so much and he would scream whenever she touched it. Finally, she took out on of her purifying arrows and stabbed it into the wound. Gradually , the purplish color faded and it cooled. The miasma was gone, but the wound was infected still plus he had a fever. "We don't have anything with us, do you Kagome-sama?"
"No, nothing for this sort of thing. I have to take him home.it's the only way to get rid of this infection quick and easy. Sango may I borrow Kirara?"
"Of course!" Kirara stepped outside, the gang following. Miroku hoisted Inuyasha onto the cat youkai's back leaning him against Kagome.
"Sayonara! We'll be back soon!" Kagome seemed cool and calm, but inside she was burning with worry. He usually healed so rapidly. They arrived at the well. He was awake enough to limp while she held onto him. They jumped into the well. "Inuyasha we're here. Can you try and climb up?" He mumbled a weak 'hai' and he slowly but surely made his way out.
"Kagome?"
"Grandpa! Can you help me?" he shook his head yes without any further question. He took him into the house and up the stairs. "Arigato."
"He's a heavy one." He said as he wiped his brow.
"Kagome? Inu-onii-chan? Is he alright?"
"No Sota. Onegai get some ice."
"Kagome?"
"Oh mama!" She clung to her and wept, "He's sick and needs medicine. His wound is so horrible.onegai." She pleaded. Her mother rubbed her back to soothe the terrified girl.
"Stay here.I'll go get some medicine for him." So, she left, leaving Kagome clinging to her Inuyasha.
"Who's a bad guy?" Kagura raised her eyebrow. "If you help me escape from Naruku I can get those papers for you.the rights of Inuyasha, ne?"
"There's nothing I can do.I have nothing, no powers."
