Inu Yasha rose to his feet just in time as Kagome came walking towards him.
"Are you staying around to peep on me again?"
Inu Yasha snorted loudly, "You wish."
Kagome just shook her head, "I started a fire, while I'm gone keep it going."
Inu Yasha slowly slid his feet across the ground making his way to the camp. The fire was small it just gave off a small amount of heat, that was all he cared about right now. He sat down next to the fire and rested his face on his knees, as another flash of heat filled his body. He laid himself down on the dirt covered ground, watching the flames dance. He slowly closed his eyes and sleep took him.
The next thing he saw that morning was the dawn being melted away by the sun. Close by Kagome slept quietly. Then something hit him, he did not hear Kagome come back, or even smelt her. A Demon could have just walked up to the camp in the middle of the night and slaughtered them both in their sleep. The mere thought of it made him shudder. He walked over to Kagome and smelt the air. Nothing he could no longer smell her sent.
The water he splashed on his face from a near by stream did nothing he clear his head of pain. He looked down at his reflection, his face was white. This had never happened to him before; he had seen humans get such strange diseases, but not a half demon. He jumped as he felt a hand rest on his shoulder; he turned around wide-eyed. Kagome looked back at him with the same expression.
"Are you alright?" she asked thoughtfully.
"I'm fine!" he mumbled as he pushed past her. He stopped by a bush as his stomach twisted violently. He bent over and vomited loudly, the horrible taste filled his mouth. "Ok so I'm not alright," he said quietly.
Kagome took out her first aid kit that she always carried with her. Inu Yasha watched as she pulled out a small object. He backed away as she tried to shove it in his mouth.
"Get back here, I'm just going to take your temperature. You really don't want me to take it the other way, so open up," Kagome held down Inu Yasha, which was surprisingly easy. He sat there sulking with the thermometer in his mouth. It beeped and he jumped back spitting it out.
"I don't know what the normal temperature is for a half demon, but I don't think it should be this high."
Inu Yasha leaned back against a tree, he hated feeling this helpless. "If I remember right a village is near by, I could go see the local healer," he sighed loudly, he really didn't what to go but Kagome would never let him hear the end of it.
Kagome gently placed her hand on his forehead, the coolness of her hand felt good. "You're burning up, and not a drop of sweat, we should leave right away."
The pair slowly walked to the village, stopping every now and then while Inu Yasha emptied his stomach. Children ran in fright as they saw Inu Yasha walk into the village, others just stared in wonder at his state. He had to hang on to Kagome to walk but growled at anyone who looked at him funny. He may be sick but he still had pride.
