Dislaimer: Inuyasha is not mine obviously.otherwise I wouldn't be writing a
damn disclaimer.
Chapter 4:
"I hope Inuyasha is doing okay. I'm quite worried about that gash. Who would have thought when he reflected that Kaze no Kizu back at him he injected some of his miasma into it. It was light a double hit."
"Sango, you know Inuyasha. He heals rapidly and if he's in Kagome's care he'll be just fine." They were sitting around their little camping fire chatting about various things. 'This is so pleasant, being in her presence.' He was staring at her.
"Houshi-sama? Is something the matter?" He shook his head to break his gaze.
"Oh nothing; I'm fine. I should go get some more wood, huh?" He got up.
"I'll come too." She smiled and trailed behind him. He was just adoring their time alone together. Kaede was taking care of Shippo and Kirara. "It's such wonderful weather these days." Sango said trying to start up a conversation. There was too much awkward silence.
"Hai, and the wildflowers are in bloom too." He bent down and plucked one up. He drew closer to Sango and stuck it behind her ear. "There." He smiled, "The flower is lovely, but it doesn't stand a chance against the beauty of Lady Sango." She started blushing furiously. She went and started picking up some firewood. Sango had almost forgotten why they were out there in the first place. "Here, lemme take those for you."
"I can carry them."
"No I insist." He took them from her hands, gently brushing his hand against hers, unintentionally. She got a few goosebumps. The curse she hated so much was very warm and a little rough. Sango was now staring at him. He felt her eyes on his back and turned around. She quickly dropped her gaze to the ground. "Why do you always do that?"
"Huh, do what?"
"Have a downcast face. You're always looking down." He laid the wood down and came closer to her, her eyes still glued to the ground. He lifted up her chin.
"Houshi-sama. Nani?" She started to turn pink again. Normally this would call for a slap, but she didn't wan to ruin the mood. Deep in her heart she wanted him to do this. She really wanted him to hold her, but these were things she'd never admit to. She kept her emotions under lock and key, maybe, just maybe one day he would be the key.
"Don't always look to the ground. Hold your head up high and show some pride in yourself. It's only what you deserve, ne?" He removed his fingertips from her chin and started walking on ahead. Sango was speechless, never before had he acted so rationally in front of her. Sango didn't move, she just stood there stunned. He turned around again, "Sango?"
"Oh." she started walking behind, but as she came closer to him she had an urge to hug him. She did; he stopped dead in his tracks.
"Lady Sango? Is something wrong?" She held onto him in silence, "Lady Sango?"
"What's wrong Houshi-sama? Do you not want this?" She let go; he wished she hadn't. "It was a thank-you."
"For what?"
"That little motivational speech you gave me back there. I'll try to remember it." She smiled and started walking to the camp. 'That was unexpected.hmmm' Miroku just grinned slightly and headed back as well.
Kagome awoke to find that the warmth that lay beside her all night was gone. She scanned the room for him. He was in his usual spot against the wall. "Inuyasha?" He opened his eyes and made a face. "What are you doing over there?" She noticed a bruise around his eye. "What happened to you? You have a fight with Buyo again?" She giggled.
"Keh! You should know."
"Nani?"
"You did it."
"I did it, that black eye?" He still had the displeased look on his face.
"You went to roll over and punched me with your elbow." Kagome got on the floor and crawled over to him.
"Gomen Inuyasha.I didn't mean to."
"Keh! Likely story." Kagome got up and headed for the door. "Oi!" He yelled. She ignored him and went downstairs. 'Is she mad at me now? I didn't do anything, well at least I don't think so.' She walked back in the room holding a pack of ice in one hand and his medicine in the other. She casually sat next to him and placed the ice pack on his eye.
"Gomen."
"I know, it's alright.it didn't hurt that much."
"What are you trying to say..my punches are weak?"
"Exactly."
"Oi!" She tickled his side. He jerked around.
"Oi! It's still tender there. No fair!" She giggled.
"Medicine time." She filled a spoon full of the orangey color liquid.
"Not that crap again."
"It's helping getting you better and plus this is the last of it." He opened his mouth reluctantly and swallowed it, making a face in the process. "Now I gotta examen you."
"Huh?"
"You know check your wound." He blushed slightly and took off his shirt. She gently then removed the bandage. "Oh good, it's healed almost completely healed. Well it looks like my work here as a nurse is done.for now at least."
"Keh!"
"Don't 'Keh!" me.without me here you would have never gotten any better." She poked his side again, making him jump.
"Oi! I told you to stop that!"
"Are you ready to go as soon as I packed a few things?"
"I've been ready."
"Sure you have."
