Angel Standing By

The next morning, Inuyasha awoke to a tiny orange blob gazing down into his face. Inuyasha quickly sat up.

"What?" He asked the small kitsune. Shippo hugged him and squealed happily.

"I'm so glad you're ok! You fell asleep and wouldn't wake up!" He shouted. Inuyasha soon noticed that everyone else was looking at him suspiciously. He holds his head wondering, 'What happened?' until Kagome ran into the hut.

"You're awake!" She wrapped her arms around his stomach and squeezed tightly. Inuyasha blushed brightly, but gently returned the embrace. He looked down at her with strange, questioning eyes. Finally, Kagome looked up at him and frowned. "Don't you remember anything?" She squealed.

"That's what's strange. I only remember coming in here and lying down and falling asleep." He scrunches his face up in a strange bunch. His nose was bunched up, which made Kagome giggle. Inuyasha looked at her angrily. "What's so funny?" Kagome giggles then flicks his nose.

"You just looked so cute like that." She whispered. Kaede walked out of the back room holding a bowl of strange brown stew. She smiled when she saw that Inuyasha was awake.

"Glad to see that you're awake. Ye had me worried." She croaked. "It seems Lady Kagome didn't realize the impact of her kick. It knocked ye out." Kaede hands him the bowl of stew, and he quickly gobbles it up. The old woman was an annoyance and had the most irritating voice he'd ever heard (@_@)…but she could still cook! Suddenly, Inuyasha looked away from the empty bowl.

"How long was I asleep?" He questions. Kaede sits down then coughs out a short reply.

"A day." Inuyasha nods, he hadn't realized that it caused him that much discomfort. He shrugs, it really wasn't that big of a deal. Kagome looked down, blushing slightly.

"I'm sorry Inuyasha. I didn't realize that I hurt you that bad, I didn't mean too. It was-" She stopped babbling, when one of Inuyasha's fingers gently touched her lips. He gently ran his finger across them before realizing what he was doing. So he instantly blushed and took his finger back. He stood up slowly and stretched.

"I need to go take a bath. I'll be back in a while." Inuyasha stated while walking away. Moments after he had walked out the door, Kagome stands up and quickly thinks of a reason to leave.

"I'm going back to my time, so I'm going to get everything and wait for Inuyasha. I think I want him to come with me this time." She dashes out the door. Sango's jaw drops and Miroku grins one of his perverted grins. They both look back and forth to each other.

"Are you thinking?" Sango questions.

"She's going to spy?" Miroku asks her. Sango nods and they both shake their heads. Shippo looks over at them, he didn't understand that it was bad to spy on someone when they were bathing.

"What's wrong with that?" Shippo asks innocently.

"I'll explain when you get older." Sango tells him.

Inuyasha had quickly hung his clothes on a tiny tree nearby. He hastily sunk under the cool waters. That morning, he'd woke up with a slight fever and a pain in his arm. Until then he hadn't thought to look at it. When he did he under stood why he felt so bad, one of the few remaining poisonous bees had stung him. Sighing, he rubbed it over then tried to ignore it. His temperature was slowly increasing and he could feel it, so that couldn't be good.

~~~~~~~~~~*****~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome finally reached a boulder large enough for her to watch her crush bathe. She promised herself that she would only watch for a few minutes. As she continued to watch, she saw him look down at his arm and rub it. 'I wonder if there's something on his arm that's bothering him. He doesn't look to good this morning.'

~~~~~~~~~~*****~~~~~~~~~~

"Grrr, I hate being hot!" He then slipped under the water. Soon, he came back up throwing his hair over his back with a violent head jerk. His hair was shinny and wet and his chest glistened. (yummm, ^-^)

~~~~~~~~~*****~~~~~~~~~

Kagome watched him do this and blushed a deep red. It wasn't out of embarrassment, more of love. 'He's so handsome and he has such an amazing body,' She thought. 'It's a shame he covers it up with those loose- hanging clothes.' She would give anything to spend time with him and have him think of nothing but her…but that would never happen, ramen still existed. The thought made her giggle. 'I should go now.' She then turned away.

~~~~~~~~~~*****~~~~~~~~~~

Inuyasha's ear twitched. "Is someone watching me?" He whispers. A dark blush comes to his face. As he sank under the water he murmured. "Dabtd bbeh smo dmbraresssenb." (Translated: "That be so embarrassing.") So many bubbles went up around his eyes that he had to wipe them vigorously. Then he slipped under the water, calmly inducing himself to the fact that he still had a bad temperature. His white hair floated above the water as he sat under the water allowing the cold spring to flow over his burning body.

~*~*~**~*~*~

Suddenly, something shining under the water caught his eyes. When he got near it, his eyes widened. 'It couldn't be!' This made him swim a bit faster toward it. He took the small shinning orb in his hand. 'It is!' Inuyasha used the bottom of the small lake to push him to the surface. He surfaced yet again, throwing his hair out of his face.

"That's the only problem with having long hair!" He complained as he stepped out of the water shaking the water off of his body. (Dogs do it…why can't he?) He quickly placed on his robes, not bothering with his upper clothing. At the time, he was just trying to keep cool and get to Kagome.

"KAGOME!" He shouts as he runs for the tiny hut. He nearly fell to a stop when she stepped in front of him.

"What?"

"Do you still want to be human?"

"Why?"

"Answer me!"

"It would be kinda nice, but I don't know. There's no way any way."

"Well, here!" He happily hands her the glowing orb he'd found under the water. She gasped, realizing what it was. Inuyasha smiled at her reaction.

"Where did you find this?" She questioned. Inuyasha blushed, but managed to reply.

"I found it under the water while I was bathing." He gloated. Kagome became speechless; she wasn't sure what to do. Of course it would be nice to be human, but if Inuyasha was going to be nice and stay with her, maybe she didn't want to.

"I think you should give it to Sango." Kagome blurted. Inuyasha's expression became saddened. She didn't want it anymore?

"Ok." He slowly handed it to Sango, who became elated.

"I'm going to Kohaku's grave!" She shouted while waving goodbye.

Inuyasha sat beneath a large tree, trying to understand what had just happened.

Miroku came up to him suddenly, and kissed him, Inuyasha's eyes grew huge and he made vomiting sounds.

~*~*~**~*~*~

Suddenly Inuyasha awoke inside the small hut. 'What had just happened?' He tried to sit up, but realized that there was an extra weight on his chest. It was Kagome. "She must've fallen asleep trying to take care of me." He whispered. Her hand was clasped to a washcloth and a bowl of water was beside him. Realizing how tired he was, Inuyasha laid back down and was instantly asleep.

"Ok Sango, hand me that weird picture-taking-thing of Kagome's." Miroku whispered. Sango quietly searched her backpack; a minute later she found it.

"Here." She hands it to him.

**FLASH**

"Hey, you didn't tell me you were taking one of me!" Sango growled. Miroku smiled then handed the camera back to her.

**FLASH**

"And you get mad at me. Hey let's take one of both of us!"

"And Shippo!"

"And Kirara!"

"And all of us together!"

"Yeah!" Miroku agrees, as he holds up the camera to take one of them.

**FLASH**

Then Sango took ones of a sleeping Shippo, Kirara and the two together. Then one of all four of them.

**FLASH**

"We better put it away now." Miroku states quietly. Sango nods.

"I hope Inuyasha is ok. The poison reacted funny, it gave him that horrible fever and the stinger was hard to get out because his arm was so swollen." Sango whispers.

"Hey! I got more poison then that in me and I'm still alive!" He walks over to her.

**Pat, pat**

"That hand's not cursed anymore!"

** SLAP! **
