Chapter 12 Medicine and Kids should not be mixed

Inuyasha reached the well in no time. He put one foot on the lip of the well and was about to jump in but.....

"Inuyasha?"

"Hmmmm?" He looked down to see Kagome's brown eyes starring up at him weakly.

Kagome yawned, slowly closing and opening her eyes, trying her best to stay awake. "Where...... are we going?"

"I'm taking you home." Inuyasha replied.

"Why....?" She asked, resting her head on his chest and closing her eyes."

"Because," now go to sleep." Inuyasha whispered, jumping down the well.

They passed through time into Kagome's era. The air was filled with the musky scent of pollution. This smell always made Inuyahsa want to sneeze.

With a single leap, Inuyasha jumped out of the well. Slowly, he opened the door with his foot since his arms were occupied by Kagome. The sun light immediately shone in his eyes, making him squint.

"Inuyasha?" A young boys' voice asked. "What's wrong with Kagome?"

"Uh......" Immediately Inuyasha knew it was Kagome's younger brother, Souta. "Well, she got tired and.... uh, I'm bring her home." He started to walk to Kagome's house.

"Why can't she sleep there?" Souta asked, following behind Inuyasha.

"Because."

"Why?"

"Because!"

"Why?"

Inuyasha stopped and turned to the young boy. "Because I said so!"

Souta stared up at him blankly. "...... ok."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and walked into the house. Luckily Kagome's grampa was having a nap on the couch and her mother seemed to be out.

Souta ran ahead of him to Kagome's room as Inuyasha just took his time going up the stairs. Once he reached her room, it was like heaven to his nose. It smelled of light perfume and Kagome.

Inuyasha carefully laid Kagome down on the bed. He rolled his eyes again as he felt the long stare of Souta on him. "Why do you keep starring at me?" He asked coldly as he started to leave the room.

"Because." Souta replied, staying at his heals. "Where are you going?"

"To make some medicine."

"Why?" Souta asked, following the hanyou down the stairs and into the small kitchen.

"Because it might help her." Inuyasha replied, now shifting through the cupboards.

"Why?"

Inuyasha;s ears twitched with annoyance as he slowly turned to glare at Souta. "Don't start that."

"Sorry." Souta smirked, hoping up onto the counter. "Whatcha looking for?"

"Stuff."

"Why?"

Inuyasha's ears fell back as he turned to look at the young boy. He grabbed Souta by the collar and walked to the door, opening it and dropping him on the front step. "Stay out here." Inuyasha growled, closing the door.

Souta nodded. "Ok!" He chirped and ran off to play.

"Stupid kid..." Inuyasha grumbled as he continued his search for his ingredients.

Meanwhile

"Meow!"

Kagome slowly opened her eyes to see a fur bearing back. "Wha.....?" She sat up slowly and looked around.

"Meow!"

"Buyo?" Kagome asked drosely. She blinked as she finally realized she was in her own room. "How did I get here?" A weird smell caught her nose. "And what is that?"

Kagome climbed out of her bed, making sure she wouldn't accidentally kick the cat. She walked down the stairs and peered into the kitchen. There was Inuyasha, working on something strange; dropping in one weird ingredient after another.

"Damnit!" Inuyasha cursed as he burnt his finger. "Stupid, god damn thing!!" He growled at the stove, holding his finger in a protective manner.

"Hear, let me help you." Silently, Kagome had walked into the kitchen and had grabbed an already damp cloth. She took his hand and wrapped his finger in the cold cloth. "There." She said calmly.

Inuyasha stared at her blankly. "Shouldn't you be asleep?" He asked dumbly.

Kagome smiled. "I'm fine, and just what were you doing?"

Inuyasha blinked, then he remembered what he was doing. "I was making some medicine for you."

"Medicine? But I'm not sick."

Inuyasha took his hand away and turned around, pouring some of his concoction into a cup. "Just drink it, it will help you."

Kagome took the cup. She wrinkled her nose at the smell. "It smells discussing!"

"Just drink it."

Kagome sighed and drank the thick drink. 'Wow! It tastes just like honey!' She thought, licking her lips. "It actually tastes good! Where did you learn to make that?"

"My mother use to make it for me when I was sick." Inuyasha explained. "But I remembered that it tasted awful, so I added some honey."

Kagome smiled as he looked away, blushing. 'He was thinking of me.' She thought, but as that thought entered her mind she felt her eyes closing and her knees buckling under her. She started to fall.

From the corner of his eye, Inuyasha saw her falling. "Kagome!" He whirled around and caught her just before she hit the ground. "Damn, I forgot to tell her it makes you sleepy." He grumbled. His ears started to twitch as Kagome started to mumble something.

"Thank you.... for saving me..... again......" Kagome mumbled, resting her head on his chest.

Inuyasha smirked, lifting her up and carrying her up the stairs. Once he reached her room, he laid her down softly on the bed.

DING DONG

Inuyasha's ears twitched at the sound of the doorbell. He turned around and was about to answer the door when he remember something. Kagome had always made him wear a hat when he went out in her time, so maybe he sound wear one now.

Inuyasha sighed slightly and grabbed the hat she always made him wear. He put the cap on and walked down the stairs to answer the door.
