Chapter 3:
Her mother returned quickly with the antibiotic. "Here, give this to him three times a day. That's what the pharmacist said."
"Arigato mama." Kagome sighed, she went over to Inuyasha's side, pouring some of the medicine in a spoon. "Inuyasha.here's the medicine.it'll help." She lifted up his head gingerly and opened his mouth. Kagome poured it in; he was so out of it he didn't even complain. "Hopefully he'll get better soon."
"Should I make some soup for him?"
"That would be great! Ah.demo."
"I'll look after him. Why don't you take a nice bath and get cleaned up."
"Okay." Her mother left the room and headed downstairs. "I'm so lucky to have a mother like her." She quickly went into the bathroom, but not before she glanced at Inuyasha; he was sleeping soundly.

"Inuyasha, say aw.."
"Nani?" he groaned as he sat up in the bed. Kagome's mother was feeding him some soup or trying rather. "I'm not hungry."
"You need to regain you strength, ne? I know you're hungry. Now eat." He reluctantly obeyed her order and took a spoonful of soup.
"Mmmm.this is good.what is it?"
"Just chicken broth with some noodles." She graciously smiled, "Glad you like it." She reminds me of my mom, like when I was sick. He smiled and gently laid back down. "Now that's a good boy." She patted his head and giggled.
"Mama how's the patient?"
"Just fine, the medicine seems to be helping. That was a nasty gash you had there. What did you do?"
"Ano.a huge demon attacked me." Her mother just smiled and nodded on her way out the door.
"So, you really doing alright?"
"It's amazing really. Just a couple of hours ago I was barely able to stand, now I probably could." He tried to get on his feet.
"Oi you! Lay back down.don't even try it!"
"Okay.okay." He laid back down.
"Well we better re-bandage that wound."
"It's fine."
"It'll stay infected if we don't. What is puppy-boy embarrassed?" She said tugging on his ear.
"No." he said blushing.
"Fine then. Take off your shirt." Oooo I just loved saying that! Inuyasha did as he was told and she took off the old bandage and replaced it. "You know what would really help?"
"Nani?"
"How about a warm bath?"
"Bath? Now?"
"Sure. It would feel good to get cleaned off. I'll rub your back again." She chuckled. He smiled back at her and agreed. She took his hand, "Can you walk?"
"Yeah." She led him to the bathroom.
"Onee-chan? What are you doing?" Both of their faces turned red. She gulped and said:
"Inuyasha needs a bath.he smells like a.a." she couldn't finish her line.
"Dog." Inuyasha grumbled as Kagome pulled him into the bathroom and locked the door behind them.
"Geez.no privacy in this house; it's just a bath for heaven's sa-" Inuyasha pulled her into his arms.
"Arigato Kagome."
"It's no big deal really."
"I don't know what I'd do without having someone like you around."
"But you had Kikyo."
"She didn't like me for who I was.she wanted me to become human. But you, you Kagome love me for me."
"That's right!" she said tapping his nose. "Now into the tub ya go!" After his bath they headed into her room. Kagome instructed Inuyasha to sleep in her bed.
"No, I've been in it all day. It's your bed to begin with."
"You need a comfortable place to rest."
"Fine, but on one condition."
"Hai?"
"Sleep with me."
"Nani!!!!!!!"
"No, I meant sleep beside me."
"Why?" she said as she blushed bright red.
"It's big enough right?"
"Yeah, demo-"
"I want you near me. I want a sense of security even if it's for a fleeting moment." She remembered, hey those were her exact words!
"You were awake when I said that?"
"Yeah and you also called me stubborn."
"And you are. Well I'm sleeping on sleeping on the floor. Hand me my pillow." He shook his head and smirked. Inuyasha patted the bed with his clawed hand. She finally gave in and he wrapped his arms around her; they both drifted off to sleep.
