The disclaimer from the other chapters applies to these as well. I don't foresee a lemon anytime soon. I think this will be one of my few clean fics. There is just too much going on in their lives for sex. Maybe after they save the....world? But there will be lime. Lime= Reference to sex. In later chapters. And possibly a lemon, I'm not sure.

Kagome poured more water into Inuyasha's mouth, coaxing him to drink, as Miroku changed the damp towel on his head.

"Miroku please look after him while I go look for some herbs." Kagome took his head off of her lap, and rested him on a small pile of clothing. She walked in a fast pace into the darkened night. Although it was hard to see, she was able to move at a slightly quickened pace. She had to hurry if she wanted to save Inuyasha. Kagome quickly made it to a slightly hidden area that was covered in herbs of different textures, and colors. A small devilish blue light emitted from an unknown location allowing Kagome to see. Suddenly an all too familiar voice called out to her from the shadows.

"I see my half-demon brother has been getting himself into more trouble. It's just like him." Sesshomaru said, with a slight chuckle.

"Sesshomaru. What are you doing here?" Kagome said, straining her eyes to find the youkai.

"Don't worry, wench. I'm not interested in your company. I just thought I'd drop by to say hello."

"Is that right?" Kagome said, raising a skeptical brow. "Since when does the lord of the western lands stop by to just say hello."

"I guess since now." Sesshomaru said, steeping behind the miko. His lips just barely touching her ear. Kagome shivered when she felt his breath on her ear.

"Unless you have business with me Sesshomaru then I think your little visit is unnecessary" Kagome said smugly, turning to look at the larger demon." Wouldn't you say it's unnecessary?"

"I guess you're right." Sesshomaru grinned at Kagome sheepishly and backed away into the darkness.

Kagome sighed inwardly happy that the demon was finally gone. What was he thinking being that close to her anyway? What the hell was he doing...was he.. "No, no he couldn't have been." Kagome said, dismissing the thought. She reached down, pulling the required plant from the ground. She sighed again, and rushed off to prepare the antidote.

Kagome lifted Inuyasha's head, and poured the foul-smelling concoction down his throat. I really hope this works. She laid his head down softly, and sighed inwardly. "We won't know if it worked until morning. I guess we'll just have to wait." Kagome said to Miroku. But he didn't seem to be himself. His mind seemed as if it were elsewhere.

"Miroku, are you okay?"

He turned to the young miko, a weak smile spread across his delicate features. "Do you think Sango is okay?"

"I'm sure she is, Miroku. I'm a little more worried about the people she'll encounter. Don't worry; we'll search for her tomorrow. As of now you need some rest." Kagome yawned softly. It was late. She sighed and leaned against the wall. Inuyasha occupied her sleeping space since usually he slept in the treetops. She closed her eyes, and was soon welcomed by a comfortable and welcoming slumber.

Yes. I've updated! It felt good to write this chapter. Actually, it was fun. Though I was having trouble with Sesshomaru. I wanted that part to be a little longer and a bit sultrier but I decided to wait. Oh, and can anyone guess where I'll be going with the Sess/Kag relationship? - Guess you'll have to wait and review to find out.
