Sickly Child

Chapter 1
Disclaimer note: I do not own Inuyasha...although it would be nice if I did. I do however own Setsa and Kisike and my friend's own Viera, Area, and Auron. So you can't steal any of them!
Kagome sniffled as she entered the fairy-tell like land. She looked up and noticed the grey clouds covering part of the sky, but the sun trying futilely to break through the clouds. "Rain?" She smiled and shrugged, her eyes looked around to find any sign of her friends. No one seemed to be there so she shrugged and walked on toward the village. She stopped at the edge of the rice fields that stood close by the village. Several male villagers stared at her for a moment, as if to figure out if she was demon or human. She rubbed her nose in response to the eyes the waved as she ran down from the hill.
One realized who she was and yelled, "Its lady Kagome! Hurry get the priestess," he yelled to another villager.
A young male demon's ears twitched from some distance away. They wandered back and forth hearing human voices. "Kagome's back?" He looked up and sniffed the air. "But how is it I couldn't smell her. I do smell her scent now that I think about it, but it's weak and it doesn't smell the same."
The silver haired demon arrived in front of Kagome in just seconds. "Hey.." He said a kind of classy look coming to him from his silhouette which was above a setting sun. He looked at Kagome, his eyes a serious shade of gold. "What's wrong with you?"
Kagome's face was a pail coloration as she sat near Inuyasha in the Priestess's hut on a make shift mat with a small, flowered blanket on top of it. Her eyes looked weary from the days she'd spent studying for many tests. It looked as if she could pass out at any given minute. The black hair surrounded her on the ground, it seemed to have grown longer because she hadn't had time too cute it.
"What's wrong with her old woman?" He asked in a rushed voice that was full of worry. The golden eyes gave the exact same look. Thunder crackles in the background. It seemed a forbidding sign, saying something was going to happen.
"This sort of thing takes time." She told him with a grunt as she put a cold rag on Kagome's forehead.
"I don't have time. We have to.." Kagome coughed as she attempted to get up. She then fell back down onto the make shift mat on which she laid.
"You are sick child."
"Priestesses' and Priestess reincarnations don't get sick!" Inuyasha protested sitting with a disgruntled look upon his face cross legged in a corner of the small hut. Thunder crackled again in the background, this time sending a chill up Inuyasha's back.
"I'm afraid humans' do Inuyasha, you must care for her, as I will be out for a while. My apologies' Kagome but I have to go to the mountains." The old woman sighed as she put together some clothing and threw a few more odds and ins into a bag. She hoisted a bow pouch onto her back and pulled back the string a few times to check and make sure it was still strong enough and wouldn't break.
Kagome steadied herself and sat up. "It's all right, it's probably nothing more than a cold, I will be fine." She smiled kindly at the woman. The smell of rain became more apparent in the air, as did the threat of a storm. The old woman nodded and left the hut, then boarded the back of a horse and rode off. Kagome watched for a moment, then felt a pair of eyes staring into her. She turned only to see it was Inuyasha staring at her in an odd kind of way.
'Wow, even when she's sickly she thinks of other people over herself.' Inuyasha said to himself a little surprised.
Kagome stared at him for a moment. She cocked her head to the side, "Are you going to just keep staring at me like that?" She questioned the half-demon.
"I-I'm not starin'!" He protested against her.
She giggled at his futile protests. His face had grown a little red from the accusations against him. "Okay, whatever you say."
"Hey, Kagome.." Inuyasha's voice sounded. She turned her head a curious expression pasted to hide the pleasure she felt from when Inuyasha called her voice. "Get better soon okay?" He said as he stood and left the hut.
Kagome blinked in response. "O-o-okay." But she couldn't help blushing and she couldn't help smiling at the fact that he had actually asked her to get better. So she laid herself in the make shift mat, despite its uncomfortableness. Her eyes closed as the sound of rain began to patter on the hut's roof.
Inuyasha sat on a tree staring at the hut, soon his golden orbs no longer showed as his eye lids were shut tightly. He was trying to sleep but he kept envisioning himself walking in upon the gruesome scene of Kagome dead, lying there, her eyes opened, looking as if she could spring to life at any second. He kept coming in and out of the dream and looking at the hut then trying to sleep, the rain was soaking him through his clothing, but that wasn't anything that bothered him. Finally, he completely awoke and rushed into the hut, staring at Kagome sleeping soundly on the make shift mat near the fire in the center of the hut.
His eyes shook, to see her this innocent. After all the times she'd hit him and told him to sit, it all seemed to flow away along with the rain. He sat at the far edge, his eyes still watching Kagome carefully. Without his own knowledge, Inuyasha's feet began to move. He took off the over coat to his outfit and laid it near the fire to dry. The sword he always kept so close to him was at the other side of the hut. He laid himself next to Kagome, completely unaware of his watcher.
Kagome's eyes snapped open to the feeling of Inuyasha's warm body next to hers. "Inuyasha."
"Shh," he said to hush her into silence. "I'm trying to keep you warm. You're sick, and you need warmth." His eyes were moving back and forth, he knew why he was doing this. He was actually in love and it felt so odd to have these feelings.
Kagome smiled, "Whatever you say...darling." She fell back into a sleep a smile on her face.

Inuyasha woke in the morning to Miroku and Shippo fighting outside.
"Let me inside! I want to check up on Kagome!" Inuyasha heard Shippo yell.
"No, you cannot see them. They are sleeping." Miroku replied to the child kitsune. His voice was the usual cool sound that made him like a river.
"Miroku!" Inuyasha heard someone yell.
"Ah, so nice of you to join us Setsa." He replied to the feminine voice.
"Sorry I was late, I heard you calling, but unfortunately I ran into trouble on the way hear." She sighed.
"What?" Shippo asked hopping up on the one they called Setsa's shoulder.
At this time the straw door to the hut was moved to the side and Inuyasha came out tying up the sash that went around his top. "What are you all babbling about?" Inuyasha asked.
"Babbling? We happened to be talking about the trouble that Setsa ran into." Shippo responded angrily to the half-demon that walked closer.
"Remember that rumor about a water demon?" She asked setting her staff down beside a tree. The leather skirt she wore rode high upon her hips and her green orbs were now shut. The blonde hair fell around her as she leaned against the tree. Her top was some sort of green material with deer fur surrounding it.
"Yeah, you mean the one that supposedly controls the weather and the rivers? What about it?" Inuyasha responded.
"It would seem that it is more than just a rumor. Correct Setsa?" Miroku responded to him.
The eyes of another watched from far above. Two leathery bat wings beat every few seconds to keep the female they held in the air. This female wore a top that ended right beneath her breasts, along with armor that fit the breasts. Her skirt was a bit longer than Setsa's and her eyes were a red coloration. Her hair several different colors, but mostly holding the colors brown, silver, and black. She held to ears upon her head and in a hilt a small sword that looked almost identical to Inuyasha's.
Kagome woke with a start, she looked about for someone then got up. "Inuyasha!? Inuyasha!" She yelled for him.
His ears moved along with his head in response to the voice. "Kagome? I'm outside!" He yelled back to her. The straw door was, once again, removed from its place and in its place appeared Kagome.
"Hi everyone." She said with a cheery smile on her face.
"Who's she?" Setsa asked a sort of defensive sound coming into her voice.
"That would be Kagome." Shippo told her.
"Oh, so you're the wise priestess' reincarnation." The voice calmed a little but Kagome could tell it was still quite untrusting
"Yeah, I - uh - guess so." Kagome blinked looking at the others.
"Let me explain what I am doing here, that way you aren't too confused." Setsa gave a smile to Kagome making the both of them relax a little. "I was wondering through the woods about six years back when Miroku saved me. I was and still am in his debt so I went on a search for him and found him here. Well it so happened that Shippo was walking with him last night and I was interested in knowing if I could help him out in any way possible. He gave me the answer and so I am here." She relieved herself from the stance against the tree and bowed to all of them. "I am the Necromancer Setsa and I am at your service."
Inuyasha's eyes went wide. "I've heard of you! You're a wizard all right. But not a very good one I heard you blew up a city before because you got your spell mixed up." Inuyasha turned with a cold look. "I don't think it'd be wise to bring her along."
"HEY!" Setsa yelled at him. "I am too useful! I just have to become fully adapt to using my powers," she yelled furiously back at Inuyasha; his statement clearly had angered her.
"You never told me you were a Necromancer." Miroku said.
"Uh . . . well . . . um . . . I didn't think there was any need!" Setsa replied carefully listening to her own words.
"Oh..I see." He replied to her.
"Never mind," she returned to her stance against the tree. "I shouldn't matter whether I be demon or wizard. I am your friend. So that should be all that matters." Her eyes closed and the others went about their daily business.
