CHAPTER 2

Inuyasha stared hard at her. She looked horrible. Kagome's eyes began to open slowly. She gathered her strength just to speak.

"...Inu..yasha..." she said weakly " Give me...a minute..and we will.....look for the...shards."

"No. You're ill. You can't go out in this condition. You should rest."

Inuyasha gently put his hand over her cheek to confort her. Kagome smiled and closed her eyes shut.

Something wasn't right. It wasn't that Kagome was sick but there was this feeling that bothered Inuyasha. Maybe it's just his imagination. Or maybe not.

Inuyasha tried to think up a way to confort Kagome. He drabed a bowl and headed for the hot srping to get hot water. When he came back he took a small towel. Inuyasha soaked it with the hot water and folded it. He gently wiped Kagome's forehead where it was imbedded with sweat.

She slept so peacefully, and yet so beautifully at the same time. Inuyasha examined her face. Anyways it was the right time to do so since everytime he tried, she would always notice it. He admired her beauty, just like he admired Kikyo's beauty. He started to trace her face with his fingure tips. Suddenly, Inuyasha flinched at Kagome's responce. Kagome's head followed along with Inuyasha's hand, just like how a dog would once you pet it. Although Kagome was still in her deep sleep. Inuyasha relaxed for a moment from thinking she was awake.

Now what is Inuyasha to do? No shard hunting today....

*****

Inuyasha came back from taking a bath in the hot spring. As he stepped in he saw Kagome. She was finally awake! All day long she was sleeping. But she wasn't doing much. She was just sat there in front of the fireplace with a blanket over her body and head.

"Aren't you suppose to be resting?"

"I got a little...hungry." Kagome could hardly speak.

"I hate to admit, but I'm actually worried about you. You are aware that this isn't an ordinary fever, aren't you?"

Silence echoed in the room.

"Yes...I am aware. I don't think we don't have this kind of...sickness in my world." Kagome was feeling even weaker than before. She rubbed her head as she felt pain in her head.

"Do you think you would get better after a few days?"

"To tell you the truth, I don't....know." Kagome took a deep breathe. It was her way of hiding pain. She didn't want to worry Inuyasha even more. "But I could feel my....energy slipping..away."

"Well them you should be in bed right now!" Inuyasha demanded.

Kagome didn't want to argue. It wasn't the right time to anyways. She gently slipped back into her sleeping bag. Kagome was now in deep thought. There was something she knew and isn't planning to tell Inuyasha. Somehow she has a feeling that this would be the end of her. She tries to regain her energy every time she sleeps but regainning it that way isn't fast enough. She couldn't resist it longer. Kagome is losing hope.

She decided not to tell Inuyasha. She felt that if she was to die then it is her destiny. And when it comes to destiny, all she could do it accept it. But would Inuyasha accept it?

Authors Note: OK I kinda suck in writing and I really suck in ending chapters but I wanted to update it sooner. Yes, I know I write short chapters but I am trying to extend my story since it might not be as long. Like I said in my summary, its pure romance. And as for adventure its like...1% and the rest goes to romance. Sorry!!
