Author Notes: I found out that last chapter Anonymous reviewing wasn't allowed. But now I
sorted things out, so all is ready to go... In the next few chapters, it's gonna get a
little too fluffy for my taste. But the story has to have it to get to the real action,
*evil laugh*... Well, I hope you like it, R&R ^_~
~* Over the Edge- Chapter 2: Nothing Good Can Come of This*~
"InuYasha?" Kagome woke after several hours in a hot sweat. She was sweltering under the
warm blankets, and found herself quite hungry.
InuYasha's ears had perked up at the sound of her voice. The long silence since Keade hadn't
returned with the tea was pleasant, but after a while he had grown restless. "What is it? How are
you feeling?"
"It's hot..." she said as she began to push away the covers. She sat up to find herself become
dizzy and held her head as the room slowed down. Then she merely rubbed he eyes to and
noticed how dark it was. "What time is it?"
"It's late, I'm surprised you'd wake up at this hour. Do you need anything?" This was too much.
Kagome cringed at the thought of HER InuYasha, stubborn, reckless, violent, InuYasha, offering
her help. 'He's being way too nice, what's with that? No, Kagome! Enjoy it while you can, you
know as soon as you're better, he'll go right back to his old self.' But what was the problem
here? She had to admit, there was something to it when he'd be so arrogant and rude, but all the
same, this was kind of nice too...
"I feel alright, but I'm kinda hungry. Do you think I could get something to eat?" Her stomach
ached with hollow in sheer emptiness from the days of which she couldn't hold down food.
"Not without me checking first!"
"Why?"
"I don't want you getting worse like you did from that damn chilly-cheese-dog you kept blabbing
about."
"Oh no." Kagome sunk into the futon as she felt a lecture coming on.
"You have to be more fucking cautious about what you eat dammit. You have no idea how many
demons are after you for those shards. Hell Kagome, putting poison in your food would be a
great way for them to fucking get rid of you. Any of us for that matter." As he went on his tone
was firm, but not too loud as to wake Keade. "That's final, I'm checking all the food until I'm
satisfied with this shit."
Kagome sighed as she got up, and was going to head for the kitchen to see what she could find.
But InuYasha stopped her, blocked her at the door. He gave her one of those stubborn,
unsatisfied looks, with his arms crossed and glaring at her.
"Fine."
"Good." Kagome move toward the door to move around him but he blocked her again. "I really
am glad your feeling better, Kagome." Then he moved aside and they went into the kitchen.
***
By the next day, Kagome had regained most of her energy. Miroku, Sango, and Shippo were
expected to arrive back soon from gathering supplies at the exterminators home town.
Kagome was glad she was well again, but she still had the occasional cough and sneeze, which
unfortunately, were relatively violent, some even knocked her to the ground in her loss of
balance. Because of this, Inuyasha found himself behind her just enough to catch her before she'd
hit the ground.
"Kagome!" a familiar shriek sounded as ball of fur jumped into her arms.
"Your back early." Sango said in a tone of surprise.
"Well It's good that I am. InuYasha said that you've found the location of the next shard."
"That is true." Miroku said.
"The next shard. Already?!" Shippo was restless. After all he'd just walked through ten towns
and back, and now they were telling him that he'd have to walk even more.
"Sorry Shippo, we'll probably have to head out in the morning." Kagome said as she stuffed a
small piece of chocolate in his mouth (as a consolation no less). Then she brought her lips near
his ears and whispered as quietly as she could manage. "Don't worry, you wont have to walk the
whole way." But of course InuYasha's exceptional hearing allowed him to hear this and he gave
a grunt of disgust. 'Why does she always pamper that damn kitsune? Feh.'
***
In the morning they packed up their supplies and yet again headed out for a town where a shikon
shard was suspected to be. But what InuYasha (and anyone else for that matter) had failed to tell
Kagome was that they would have to cross over a mountain to get to the town.
It was relatively shallow for a mountain, but still one no less. There were a few steep parts with
rocks, so everyone stayed on the tree-path (which didn't help much either with all the winding
roots at their feet). Once in a while, Kagome would give out a violet sneeze and stumble
backward on the mountain, usually falling into a tree.
"I'm hungry." Shippo complained after a while up the mountain.
"InuYasha, do you think we could stop for lunch?" Kagome asked as she swung her pack around
to find something for him to at least snack on.
She pulled an apple from her pack. Just as she was about to give it to Shippo, InuYasha snatched
it up from her hands. "Your forgetting bitch. I said NO food without me checking it first.
Remember?!"
She simply gave him smug look. 'Why did I have to agree to that anyway?' "This isn't fare to
Shippo."
"Yeah." Shippo agreed, trying to work off of Kagome's influence. But all that got him was a
growl and a clawed fist barely missing him as his ran behind Kagome's legs.
InuYasha quickly looked over the fruit. It appeared fine, so he handed it back to her with a 'Feh'.
***
As they pressed on, things only got worse. When they had reached the tree line, InuYasha went
ahead to make sure the weather wouldn't be too bad. It was cold. Cold enough to snow. But even
so, they should've been able to make it to the other side, at least it's tree line before dark.
But just as he returned to them as they waited in the thin amount of trees, there was a loud "Ah,
ah, ah-chu!" and Kagome stumbled back. But as she tried to catch her balance, she tripped on the
winding roots at her feet and fell to the ground in a violent fashion.
"Kagome, are you all right?" Sango asked as she rushed down to where she had fallen to. But
InuYasha was quicker.
Kagome moaned as she sat up, clenching her ankle. But InuYasha put her hands aside and
inspected her injury. 'This isn't good'
"It's sprained."
Ooh, the tension. What will happen now? (I know, but if you want to find out you'll just have to
wait till I put out the next chapter wont you) n_n' don't hate me.
