CatHanyouNelia: ::Laughs cowardly:: Don't worry they will. Inu just has to take care of his mother first.

Priestessmykala: Really? I never knew that! Thanks for telling me!! And about Inu's mother dying in a fire…she is in this one too…

blu-babe: : )

Raithya: Nope Inuyasha's mums not dead yet. And for your idea…you'll just have to wait and see!

Phew I'm really glad I got that last chapter over with. It was really hurting my head. Exams are coming up so updating wont be as fast. Sorry about that.

In this chapter Inuyasha goes out to find his mother medicine to make her feel better. Since there in the past, medicine wasn't as good as now so please do not flame me about the medicine cause I already know.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

His mother hadn't gotten better and was still sleeping after two weeks. He had tried to ask the villagers to help but they would slam the door in his face, or, yell at him and slam the door in his face.

He sighed as another day went by and still no one would help him. He didn't know why they were so scared of him. Probably because of his dog-ears, claws and fangs.

He closed the door as he entered his house. His mother was still sleeping and he smiled when her water was half full. He sat down on his knees beside her and took the wet cloth off her head, dipped it in water, and placed it back on her head. Its times like these where he whished Mrs. Hagurashi and Kagome were here. They would help him.

"Inuyasha…" came the faint voice from his mother. His ears perked up and immediately came to his mothers side. She tried to get up but the throbbing in her head was too much for her and she lay back down.

When she opened her eyes she was looking into worried golden ones. She smiled wearily at her son. "How are you feeling mum?" he asked. She frowned. She was getting worse even though Inuyasha was treating her so well.

"Much better," she lied. She didn't want her son to worry any more for her sake. He smiled, "I thought you weren't going to wake up!" She grinned. It hurt her that she lied to her son. She wanted to tell him she was dying. She wanted to tell him to be strong, but she couldn't. No matter how hard she tried the words wouldn't come from her mouth.

She knew Inuyasha was trying his best to get her feeling better. She watched as he had red books on sicknesses, and medicines. She had red them once before and knew they had nothing that would cure her.

Inuyasha felt so helpless. His mother was ill and all he was doing to help was get her food, water and place a wet cloth over her head. He had to get medicine fast or she might not make it till morning.

He knew there was a place in the village went to when they were ill. He had looked in there once and it had many antidotes for different types of sicknesses. That convinced him to go. He kissed his mother on her forehead. "I'll be right back," He whispered.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He was at the window of the sick house and he could see all the different bottles of medicine lined up I alphabetical order on the shelves. He didn't like to steal but he knew if he'd ask for some, another door would slam in his face.

Slowly he crept through the window, making sure he didn't make a sound. When his foot stepped on the wood floor it creaked making his freeze. When no one came he made his way to the shelves of cough medicine. He sighed when he was in front of the shelf; happy no one had caught him. As he grabbed different bottles his ears moved back.

Footsteps. Someone was coming.

Quickly he grabbed the last bottle of cough syrup and ran to the window. Just as he was about to jump a man opened the door and saw him.

"Hey!" he shouted. Inuyasha couldn't move. He was too nervous to jump out and run away and his ears were pinned to his head. The man's glare soon turned to a confused frown as he looked into the hanyou's eyes. He didn't see the scary monster that everyone was telling him about. What he saw was sadness and pleading.

The boy's eyes were the size of dinner plates and the man knew he was pleading with his eyes. He didn't have the heart to yell at the poor boy and felt bad when he held out his hand only to get a cringe of fear from him. "What do you need those for?" he asked in a softened tone, "You don't look sick."

"M-my mother," he stammered.

He felt as though his heart was in a knot, "What's wrong with her?"

The boy shook his head telling him that he did not know. His ears started to come back up and the man knew he was getting calmer. He looked at the shelf were the cough medicine was and saw that the boy forgot one.

He took the bottle and held it out to the dog-eared boy. He moved back a bit but didn't leave. "Here take this. It's the best one we have, for colds that is"

A smile appeared on the boy's features and he slowly approached him, not sure if there was a trick behind this. When the bottle was in his reach he snatched it from his hand and red the label, "Cures any cold guarantee!"

The man smiled as he saw the boys grin turn to a full smile. "Mind if I have the others back?" he asked. The hanyou placed all the bottles down; except for the one he was given, on the floor. He smiled at the boy and placed the bottles back on the shelf. He would deal with putting them back in alphabetical order later.

When he turned around the hanyou child was gone. 'Poor kid' he thought as he opened the door, 'Hope his mum gets better'

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inuyasha was so happy he felt like crying. That was the first time in his life that a human from the village was nice to him. He felt bad for leaving so suddenly but he could make his mother wait for him any longer.

When he got to his house he was surprised to see his mother eating the lunch he made her. "Mum!" he shouted. She looked up and smiled when she saw her son. "I was getting worried Inuyasha. You said you'd be home soon"

"I went to get medicine for you. See?" he held up the bottle so his mother could see. She frowned wondering where he could have gotten that. "Inuyasha where did you get that?" He said nothing and kicked the floor.

"You didn't steal it did you?"

"No!" he shouted surprised his mother would even ask him something like that. She crossed her arms, "Then where did you get it?"

"A man gave it too me!"

Her eyebrow rose, "A man?" she repeated. He nodded his head, "Ya. A guy at that sick house. He gave it too me!" She smiled. Someone actually helped her son other then Kagome. "Well what is it?" Inuyasha say down with his mother. "Something to help you get better!" he twisted off the cap and sniffed the inside. He stuck out his tongue at the rancid smell the bottle gave off. "Yuck! It smell horrible!"

Izayoi giggled, "Lets try it and see"

Inuyasha nodded and gave a spoonful of the smelly stuff to his mother. She let the taste settle for a minute before coughing in disgust. "It tastes horrible!" Inuyasha growled. That man tricked him. He gave him something gross, not medicine. Next time he sees him he'll give him a piece of his mind!

"Actually," His mother began. Inuyasha blinked. "I do feel a bit better! The medicine is working!" His ears perked up. So the guy didn't give him crap. It really worked.

Izayoi yawned. The medicine was making her sleepy. Inuyasha noticed his mom yawning and decided to leave her be. He placed the medicine beside her and went to do something else. "Night mum," he whispered. "Goodnight Inuyasha." She kissed his cheek before resting her head on her pillow and nodding off to sleep.
