Disclaimer: Inuyasha's not mine..Waaahh!!
Chapter 30:
Sango awoke in strong arms. 'Miroku? Why am I? What the?' She got up trying not to disturb him. "Ohayo, Lady Sango." 'Damn.'
"Why was I?"
"I woke up last night and noticed you were shivering, so I warmed you up. You, surprisingly enough, didn't stir and I placed you in my arms."
"Oh," She smiled and kissed his cheek. As she pulled away: "Achoo!"
"Sango? Have you caught a cold?" She sighed, it wasn't like her to get sick that often. Sango took good care of herself. He felt her forehead and smirked, "Looks like I get to play doctor." Sango's eye twitched as his smirk grew wider. *Smack* "Yup, I deserved that."
"Hentai." She breathed. He cupped his hand over his cheek.
"But in any case, I'm sure Kaede has some medicinal herbs in here." He got up and opened an old wooden trunk. "Here we go. Too bad Kagome isn't here." Sango just watched as he mixed the medicines together. Miroku came over by her side. "Here, this should help." He poured the medicine into her mouth gently, carefully as so not to spill. It was hopeless; a few drops landed oh-so-conveniently onto her chest. He took a cloth and patted it off. "You're actually letting me do this?"
"As long as you don't try anything else." She raised her eye brow, "Not unless I ask for it." She smirked.
"Nani?"
"You heard me, but not today.I'm too tired."
"Indeed you are, milady." He smiled warmly. "Lemme tuck you in." She laid back down in her sleeping bag and he gently laid the cover over her. He placed a soft kiss on her forehead and left the hut in search of some more medicinal herbs for later.
Kagome was still snuggled against Inuyasha's warm and comforting body. "Ano..Onee-chan?"
"Oh! Souta!" She leaped off of Inuyasha, waking him up in the process.
"Look." Kagome looked over at her mother and noticed: her eyes were open!
"Mama?" Tears of joy filled her eyes and she hastily got up, reaching for her mother's hand. "I'm so glad, so glad." Inuyasha just smiled as he watched Kagome spring back to life. She suddenly grabbed his hand and pulled him over to the side of the bed. "See, even Inuyasha came. We were all so worried." The doctor came in smiling.
"She'll recover quickly now. It was just a matter of her waking up. You can take her home this evening after we run a few more tests." He then went over all the instructions on at home care. She was to rest and take her medicines. 'How boring.' Inuyasha thought to himself. 'Hell if something like this happened to me I'd heal up right away.' He realized though that she was a mere human and humans aren't as strong as demons. Inuyasha had realized how fragile life was when Kagome was killed. His heart ached at that memory. He shook his head free of it and just looked at the lively girl before him. Finally evening came; they wheeled the still sleeping woman to the car. She was out from the pain pills they had given her. Kagome sighed and held Inuyasha's hand throughout the ride home. Once they reached the shrine they realized: how are we going to get her inside?
"Move out of the way. I'll do it." Inuyasha steeped in front of everyone and lifted up the limp, sleeping woman. He then proceeded carefully into the house. Her mother winced a little as she was starting to awaken. "Oh great. It's okay I'll have you in your bed soon."
"Arigato Inuyasha," She said quietly. He nodded his head and set her gently onto her bed. Kagome was watching their little moment as she walked behind them up the stairs. She tucked her mother into her bed and turned around and smiled at him. Grabbing his hand, she drug him downstairs.
"Nani? Kagome?"
"I figured you must be as hungry as I am. How bout some ramen?"
"Sure!"
"It's a thank-you."
"For?"
"Helping me out through this hard time. I don't think I would have made it through."
"Why me? I didn't do anything."
"You were there, that is doing something, for me anyways." She said as she boiled some water. He watched her as she cooked him his dinner. 'Just being with her makes her happy? When I think about it, I have left her alone because of Kikyo. I understand now.'
"I'm sorry."
"Huh?" She turned around abruptly swinging her hand into the hot pot. "Itai!" She ran over to the fridge and pulled out a piece of ice.
"Are you okay?"
"Oh.I just burned myself. Now you were sorry for what?"
"For leaving you alone all those times."
"What are you talking about, Inuyasha?"
"You said just me being around you makes you happy and I realized I had left you alone so many times. I know it was a little random."
"No, it's okay. Arigato, demo it's in the past now. It doesn't matter anymore." She gave him a hug.
"Ano.Kagome?"
"Huh?"
"The pot.." It was boiling over and she raced over to the stove and turned off the burner.
"Hehehe.whew!" She wiped the sweat from her brow. "Well the ramen's done." She poured in the seasonings and poured it into a bowl fro him. "There you go." She slumped into a chair.
"You're tired. Did you want any of this?"
"No thanks."
"Good." She looked up to see he had licked it clean. Kagome smiled.
"Someone was hungry." He nodded his head happily. She once again slumped onto the table. "Inuyasha! Nani?!"
"Shhh.I'm taking you to bed." He had picked her up in his arms.
"I'm not *yawn* tired."
"Yeah sure." She slipped out of his arms. "This reminds me when I was little."
"Huh?"
"Mom would say 'time for bed' and scoop me up in her arms. Of course I denied I was tired, but as soon as my head hit that pillow I was gone." Kagome smiled at him. He rarely shared past memories with her. Kagome undressed and threw on an old tee-shirt, still showing much of her legs. Inuyasha tried not to blush.
"Nani?"
"Oh nothing."
"I detect a blush."
"Huh?"
"Right there." She said as she touched his pink cheek. Kagome crawled into her bed; Inuyasha tucked her in. "Goodnight my Inu-chan." She said lovingly.
"Inu-chan?"
"It's my pet name for you."
"Pet name?"
"You know what couples call each other.nick-names. Come up with one for me."
"No way! And you will not be calling me that!"
"Oh why not?" She pouted.
"It's, it's."
"Kawaii!"
"No it's stupid."
"So, pet names are."
"So, how about baka!"
"Oi! It has to be nice."
"Fine...ano.."
"Well?"
"I'm thinking." He said as he thought of a name. "Miko-chan." He said almost inaudibly.
"Huh?" She asked sweetly, "I didn't hear you." Inuyasha was embarrassed; he didn't want to tell her. 'Miko-chan..how dumb, she won't like it.' "Oh come on and tell me. I know you said something."
"Fine..ummm..don't laugh it was the only thing I could think of."
"Okay, just say it!"
"Miko-chan." He said flat out and awaited her approval. She smiled brightly and kissed his cheek. "It's stupid and so is Inu-chan."
"No it's not. I like it; it's very appropriate. Arigato."
"You really need to get to sleep. School tomorrow, ne?"
"You sound like my mom." She giggled; Kagome reached over and turned out her lamp beside her bed. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight ano my miko-chan." She patted the top of his head and started rubbing one of his soft fuzzy ears, which made his leg start to twitch. She giggled as she realized that was his 'sweet spot'; he had one just like a dog. He was quickly tossed out of the trance when he heard her laughter. "Oi!"
"If I rub your tummy will your leg twitch even more?" She said in a babyish voice.
"Nani?" She traced her slender fingers down his chest and gently massaged his abdomen. He made a low growl in the back of his throat, having his eyes closed. "Kagome.." He said sleepily, "Stop. As much as I love that, stop and go to bed."
"Hai." She was tired, but having him there just wasn't helping. 'Such a distraction from everything, including sleep.' Kagome tucked herself back into bed. A hand had reached up and grabbed hers.
"Goodnight, my Kagome." She sighed and fell serenely to sleep, still holding his hand.
