Chapter 13: Sick

Kagome woke to the annoying ringing sound of her alarm clock. It was 5:40am and she groaned and stuffed a pillow over her head. The ringing sound seemed to be getting louder and Kagome hit the button on the top of the clock to shut it up.

She lazily sat up in her bed, rubbing sleep from her blurry eyes. Suddenly her mind started working and she remembered. She looked beside her and saw that Inuyasha no longer laid there. She looked around her room and noticed he was gone. 'He probably left before I woke up.' She thought as she got out of bed and walked to the bathroom to take a warm relaxing shower to start off her day.

~&~

Kagome raced into the school worried as hell that she was too late for first period. Thanks to Inuyasha for keeping her up late, she fell asleep in the shower! She had woken up when she felt like she was in a freezer from the icy cold water when the hot water went out. When she got out of the shower it was 8:02!

Kagome ran down the barren hall and glanced at a clock on the wall. It was now 8:56! 'Oh great! And I have Coach Higai for Social Studies first period!' She rammed into the main office's door, hitting her forehead on the glass window part. Her books nearly slipped out of her bag, but she caught them before they spilled onto the floor. Before she knew it she hit the floor with a thump her eyes squeezed tightly together from the pain of her head hitting the cold marbled floor. She slowly opened her brown eyes and saw the secretary standing over her.

"Dear child! Are you all right? What were you doing crouching in the front of the door like that?" The old petite woman asked as she helped Kagome off of the floor. Kagome just groaned a response and held the back of her now pounding head.

"You must be late! Come in now and get a tardy slip." The lady said patiently as Kagome struggled to get up. She felt really light headed. Dizzy. She followed the secretary into the school office, picking up loose papers on her way.

When she was in the office there was a strong smell. It smelled like hot spicy popery. It was so strong that it made her nose burn and her throat soar from breathing it in. She could start to feel a throbbing headache surface above her left eye, and she was starting to feel queasy.

"Ugh, I think I'm gonna be sick..." Kagome mumbled and dumped her books into a blue waiting chair by the desk and ran to the tin trashcan, bending over and gagging, trying to get the bile to come up and out. But her stomach muscles were straining from not really wanting to throw up. If she just relaxed it would come up fast, but a part of her kept it from coming up. Kagome groaned and sat on her knees with a plop and as soon as she took in a deep breath and smelt the spicy popery smell, the bile in her stomach rose and came out in a splattering rush. The secretary came up beside her and rubbed her back soothingly like her mother used to do to her when she got sick and threw up. (Yes, I know ya'll really don't want to know the whole throwing up thing, but hey that's how it is. What? did you want me to just say 'she threw up'? I'm trying to make it long ok!)

"Hmmm..Maybe you should go home today and get better. Do you want me to call your mother and tell her to pick you up? Or do you know someone else that you know?" The secretary asked helping Kagome to her feet and grabbing a tissue for her to wipe off her mouth. Kagome sat in a chair feeling groggy and sighed, her headache getting worse by the minute from the smell. Her throat was burning from throwing up mostly stomach acid.

"I don't think my mother can pick me up because she is constantly busy at work." She then thought of Inuyasha and was starting to hope but remembered she didn't even have his number. How could they go out and not have his number! She mentally slapped herself on the head and muttered, "Ummm...I think I'll just walk."

The secretary looked at her with doubt written all over her face and asked, "Are you sure you can walk that far?" Kagome smiled and nodded.

"It's not very far and I need some fresh air." She said picking up her books, ready to get out of the stuffy room with that sickening, headache summoning candle.

"Well, go by all the classes you have today and get your assignments, ok? Then you may be permitted to leave." The secretary said signing a note for her teachers. Kagome nodded and rushed out of the office. Then she opened the door to the office and popped her head inside.

"Oh, and can you please blow out that candle? I'm sure everyone who walks in here will appreciate it." Kagome said and was out the door before the secretary could say anything more.

(I wrote that up there Monday, Well it's Friday night sorry It took so long! Well back to the story! n_n)

Kagome slowly walked up the stairs of her school, relieved that she had gotten out of that office. She was glad she was able to go home because maybe she could spend some more time with Inuyasha. But the thought was quickly swished away at the sudden throbbing of her head. If the secretary didn't hit her in the frickin head with the damn door she wouldn't be feeling as if she was going to pass out right then. She stopped outside of Coach Higai's Social Studies door and took in a deep breath. She knocked on the old door loudly, and saw Coach Higai swiftly walk to the door through the glass window. When he turned the knob Kagome took a step back so that she could avoid getting hit in the head again by a solid wood door.

"Ah, there you are Higurashi! Where have you been?" Coach Higai asked in a rough voice that most teenagers were scared of, but Kagome merely gave him the note from the secretary and closed her eyes, not saying anything to him. I mean did she have to? The note explained it!

(Ok!! It's Saturday and hopefully I get this chapter up tonight!!! Ok ok!! I got LAZY!!! There I admitted it!! Dum dum dadum dum dadum dadum dadum!!! I'm a LAZY-ASS Once again!!! u_u;)

Kagome opened her eyes when she heard Coach Higai clear his throat, and apparently, he wasn't too happy.

"Higurashi! Do you know that you'll have a lot of catching-up to do?!" He asked sternly nearly yelling at her. That was about to pull her string. He was sitting there, YELLING at her because SHE was sick?! I don't think so!

"Yes Coach, I do!" Kagome gave him attitude in return of his obnoxious yelling.

"Well then, go ahead and turn in your report." He said crossing his arms. 'Report? What report? I don't remember any re- huh ahhh!!! I forgot all about my report!!'

Well Higurashi?" He asked looking at her suspiciously. Kagome tried to think of an excuse but none really came. She couldn't of course tell him that she was out with a boy cause then, he'd get so pissed off he'd send her to I.S.S.!!

"Do you have your report or not?!" He asked getting angry.

"I..I..forgot it..I mean...I forgot it at...home! Yeah! I forgot it at home cause I was running late. You see I woke up late this morning cause uh...well my alarm clock broke!" Kagome stuttered holding her breath from the expected explosion from her Coach.

"Hmmm..Tomorrow morning BEFORE the first bell rings! You better have that report typed out and ready!" He stated sternly and walked back into his class room slamming the door behind him. Kagome let out a relieved sigh, but she heard Coach Higai yell at someone in the class for putting pencils in his nose, and she decided that being near his room was worse then being in the office and that damn candle.

Kagome had gotten all her work from all her other classes right before the bell rang. Everyone pushed and shoved past her making her head pound even more! She quickly went to her locker to get some extra books for her homework. When she shut her blue locker door her face came only centimeters from someone who annoyed her more than anyone else in the whole damn school cause he ALWAYS asked her out!

Kouga.

"Heey Kagome..What's wrong? Not feeling so good? Well, I could give you much pleasure.." Kouga said seductively and moved closer to her. When Kagome took a step away from him, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her to him forcefully. Kagome gasped. She never knew Kouga was so strong! She tried to pull herself away, but to no avail. Kouga was bending his head about to kiss her neck, but when his lips almost touched her milky flesh he sniffed. He sniffed all up her neck and across her jawline, taking in the scent of a stranger. A male. A youkai.

He quickly pushed Kagome away..growling low. Kagome was startled at the way he acted and felt her cheeks burn hot.

"What the hell were you doing?!" She asked yelling at him. Kouga glared at her.

"No! What are YOU doing with a youk..I mean another MALE!!" Kouga snapped back at her. Kagome was so pissed off. He pulled the end of her string and now, he was going to pay!

"Alright! I have had enough with you, Kouga! I told you BEFORE!! We are just friends!!" She yelled at him. Everyone in the hallways stopped and stared at the two. The hallway got really quiet for a moment, and then there were people whispering.

"I have every right to be with another man because I'm not owned by anyone else but him! So stop acting like I'm yours, because you know what? I never will be!" Kagome turned her back and stomped off leaving Kouga there surprised and pissed, and a lot of teenagers snickering. Then all of a sudden a guy busted out laughing.

"Damn Kouga! That girl totally dissed you man!" Kouga gave him a death glare and picked him up by the collar.

"Do you want to die, you bastard?!" Kouga asked letting his anger out on this guy who couldn't keep his damn mouth shut. The guy wriggled and laughed nervously, shacking his head no. Kouga threw him across the hall making him smash into the wall hard.

"Does any one else want to say anything as shitty as that? Cause if you do, there's plenty of walls for you!" He shouted coldly and slammed an open locker shut, making it echo in the extremely quiet hallway.

~&~

Kagome walked down the sidewalk, her headache wasn't fleeing away like she wanted it to. She started thinking of Kouga's actions on her. He was sniffing all up her neck like a..a dog. He had never done that before. It really wasn't human like, to sniff her and push her away. "That stupid dog!" Kagome yelled out loud not really meaning to.

"What are you talking about?" Came a low but familiar voice from behind her. Kagome jumped and turned around, seeing Inuyasha standing a foot away from her. She smiled at him warmly. How could you not smile at someone so handsome, so beautiful to nature. He isn't just a human, only half. While the other half is a fierce powerful youkai, probably trying to force its self out. Maybe that's why she loves him so much, because he isn't human and he isn't youkai, but both. He wouldn't be Inuyasha if he wasn't both. Just like chocolate milk wouldn't be 'chocolate milk' if milk and chocolate didn't form as one. Right?

Kagome was gazing into his warm golden eyes as he approached her. He kept his hands shoved in his blue jean pockets, looking down at her. Kagome suddenly started to feel sick again and she winced.

"You ok? Why aren't you at 'school'?" He asked as he pulled one of his hands out of his pockets to move some strands of silky raven hair out of her face. His hand brushed against her forehead and he jerked his hand back as if she had burned him. Actually she kind of did. She was running a fierce fever.

"Damn! You're running a fever, Kagome! Come on. We have to get you home!" Inuyasha said picking Kagome up gently He took off for her house, which was just down the road.

~&~

Inuyasha opened the front door not letting Kagome go. He walked around not knowing where all the rooms were. He saw the couch in the living room and walked over to it, lying Kagome down on it very gently. She opened her eyes and he could tell that her eyes looked kind of puffy and her face was flushed with fever. He watched as she turned onto her side and pulled her knees up to her stomach.

"I'm gonna get you some pain killer, so don't go anywhere. Just lay there and rest." He said walking into the kitchen. He looked in every cabinet until he found the one with pill bottles in it. He searched through them trying to find the right one. He saw pills for allergies, PMS, (ain't that nice to know! u_u;) and sore throats. Finally he found the pain reliever and a bottle filled with green liquid, with the lable 'Nyquil'. (Ummm..nope. Don't own em!)

He looked in a drawer and found some wash cloths. He wetted one down with icy cold water and found a cup and also filled it. He hurried back to his sick Kagome and sat doen in front of her, right on the edge of the couch.

"Alright, I have some pain killers and some Nyquil for you to take so sit up." He said setting the cup filled with water on the round coffee table. Kagome moaned and tried to sit up. Inuyasha slid his hand behind her head and helped her. She felt her head go really light and she closed her eyes and leaned her head against Inuyasha's chest. Inuyasha pulled her back a little.

"Come on, you'll feel better once you take the medicine and rest. Now here." He said getting two pain killers for her to take first. He gave her the cup and she filled her mouth with water. He watched as she leaned her head back and swallowed. He then filled a medicine cup with two table spoons of Nyquil. He held the cup to her, but she shook her head and pushed the cup away.

"You have to take this so that you will get better when you wake up." He said holding it out to her again. Again Kagome protested.

"No, I don't want to sleep when you are here." She said and looked at him pleadingly.

"keh! That wasn't what you said last night! You wanted to go to sleep when I was here!" He said to her mater-of-factly.

"Yeah, but when I woke up you were gone." She whispered looking away from him. Inuyasha then felt awful. She thought he had left her because he was mad that she was asleep?

"No Kagome, I didn't leave you cause I was mad. Hell, I wasn't mad at all! It's just that I had to go back home before my parents woke up and found me gone." He said caressing her warm flushed cheek. Kagome just sighed and closed her eyes.

"Now will you take it?" He asked her quietly. Kagome fluttered her eyes and looked into his molten golden eyes.

"Just promise me you will be here when I wake up." She said warily.

"I promise." He said softly giving her a chaste kiss on the lips. Kagome reached for the cup filled with the green liquid, and drank it in two gulps. She shuddered from the taste and stuck out her tonque. The stuff tasted AWFUL!!! She grabbed the cup of water drinking huge gulps of water.

Inuyasha chuckled softly and picked up the wet wash cloth and laid Kagome back down placing the cold wet cloth on her forehead. Kagome let out a long sigh and relaxed. Inuyasha held her hand and raked his nails up and down her fore arm careful not to rake too hard to make her bleed. After about fifteen minutes Kagome fell asleep and Inuyasha lay against the back of the couch holding Kagome to his chest. After a few minutes he fell asleep as well.
