Chapter 1- Feeling under the Weather

It's been several months since they killed Naraku and a now nineteen year old Kagome stood looking out her window at the snow covered Goshinboku tree with a wistful look on her face. come on Kagome, wake up he's never gonna see you as anything but a friend if that. she thought to herself sadly.

She turned away from the window it hurt to much to think of him at the moment, he'd been so distant since Kikyou's death, it hurt him so much that he didn't make to the battle in time to save her from Naraku's rath.

I guess it's time to get back to the feudal era before he comes to get me she thought irritated at the fact that he never let her spend more than a few days in her time even though the jewel was complete.

A sever snowstorm had hit hard at the little village she now basically called home, leaving many sick and on the verge of dying in it's wake. She had returned to get some more supplies and had to hurry back because Kaede had fallen sick a few days after the storm leaving Kagome to take care of the village. She was Kaede's understudy after all, a miko in training so to speak.

She went down stairs to get the rest of the supplies and put them in her huge yellow bag. She grabbed some more raman, potato chips, and medicine and stuffed them in her bag. "bye mom, see you later" Kagome yelled as she ran out the door. "bye dear" Mrs. Higarashi replied though she was doubtful her daughter heard her.

As she came out the door she ran into a certain dog-eared demon "Inuyasha I was just on my way back" Kagome said smiling.

"bout time" Inuyasha replied with his usual gruffness.

"I was only gone for a two days" she said getting irritated.

Two days too many he thought but replied with a "feh"

"well let's go" she said not wanting to argue, she walked past him and into the well house.

He turned and followed her, once inside he took her bag and grabbed her around the waist and jumped into the well with one thought I wish I could tell her.

He jumped out of the well and sit her down on her feet, she shivered slightly man it's cold here she thought absently rubbing her arms.

She looks cold he thought as he took off his haori and put it on her, she looked surprised but said a quiet "thank you".

That's much better she thought pulling it a little closer it smells like him, like the forest, like something wild the miko thought taking a deep breath.

She looks so tiny in my haori, so frail he thought smiling. The rest of the walk went on in silence, that is until they reached the village and a squealing kitsune "Kagome!"

"Shippo" she said hugging him to her as she walked into the hut. "hey everybody" she said cheerfully. There was a chorus of "hey's" passed around the room. She went over to the fire on sit down why am I so cold today she thought I know I got enough cloths on she looked down at herself, she had on a thick pair of jeans, socks, snow boots, t-shirt, thick sweat shirt, and Inuyasha's haori this is ridicules.

"why is she wearing Inuyasha's haori" Sango asked Miroku who looked equally stunned."I don't know" he replied.

Inuyasha came in a few minutes later and sit down beside her, looking as if nothing was out of the ordinary, then he noticed them staring "what are you looking at" he yelled gruffly.

"nothing" they all said at once.

"how is Kaede" Kagome asked no one in particular.

"there has been no change" Sango answered

"I was afraid of that, now I'll have to go get that herb" she sighed.

"where is it" Inuyasha asked.

"it's about a twenty minute walk from the Goshinboku tree" she replied standing up and stretching. She grabbed her bag and headed for the door with Inuyasha right behind her I knew he would follow me she thought with a smile.

Shippo got up to follow them but Miroku stopped him with a hand on his shoulder "they need some time by themselves" he said with a smile, Shippo pouted but sit back down.

Inuyasha and Kagome didn't get far before he decided she should go back and let him get it and told her that.

"you don't know which one it is and she needs it as soon as possible" she replied shivering.

"guess your right" he said

The snow was already up to Inuyasha's knees and Kagome had long since got on his back, the wind picked up and Kagome hid her face in Inuyasha's back were not even to the Goshinboku yet she thought wearily.

I can't even see my hand in front of my face, I've got to find shelter he thought there's a cave around here somewhere. Just then he felt Kagome grip loosen, he pulled her around in his arms "Kagome" he said loudly, he got no response.

"I've got too find shelter" he said to himself as he pulled her closer to his chest, with a renewed strength he ran in the direction he hoped the cave was. I hope I make it , hang on Kagome, hang on.
