Chapter 8- Where to Sleep When A Angel Is Sick

"Yes Midoriko… yes a whole carton. WHAT!? But that's going to cost a fortune! Well yeah we have unlimited spending but still! Okay… the mission? Oh… uh… yeah… it's uh perfect. Just how we've planned to make it go." Sango said. Her conversation drifted into Kagome's room. "ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!" She shouted then hushed immediately, loud noises would slow Kagome's recovery process. "Problem? Oh no!" Sango laughed. "Not at all, that's exactly what we aimed for. So umm why didn't you tell us you where monitoring our case? Oh… Well I'd better go check on Kagome. Good bye Midoriko." Sango sighed, pulled a red mask over her face (The one nurses and doctors wear), and walked into Inuyasha's room which was housing Kagome at the moment. Miroku didn't want to put her in her old room; he said something about the bed being wet.

Kagome groaned and curled up in a tight ball. Sango sighed and set a hand on her forehead. "Still a little queasy?" she asked. Kagome grabbed the bowl by her head and spit in it. "I'll take that as a yes… have you thrown up lately?" Kagome glared at her and showed her the bowl. "I'll take that as another yes…" she mumbled and grabbed the bowl from her. "Miroku!" Sango called.

Miroku walked into the room as he pulled his mask on. "Yeah?" he asked through it.

"Get a new bowl and wash this one out." Miroku winced. "Has Inuyasha gotten down yet?" she asked.

Miroku nodded. "Yeah, he's sulking in the attic."

"The attic?" Sango asked, surprised.

"Yeah, he has something up there. I think little memory reminders." He shrugged and grabbed the bowl from Sango. He looked inside and winced then shuddered. "That is so gross…" He mumbled and walked out of the room.

"Sango…" Kagome's voice whispered. Her voice was broken and she had to strain to get it out.

Sango looked at her. "Yes?"

"What did Midoriko say?" she tried to sit up but got dizzy and laid back down. Angel flu was the worst. You had almost all the symptoms headache, stomachache, vomiting, dizziness, voice loss, weakness, pale, high fever, sneezing, sniffles, coughing, exhaustion, and sometimes even dilutions.

Back in 1987 a bitter Angel, Naraku was upset because he lost his Angel license on Earth by using unnecessary force and illegal trading. He smuggled onto a plane a pack of natural spring water- man made of course- and poured it into the Angel water supplies. Almost all of the Cupids Arrows employees where infected on a massive level. The infection spread so fast the only way for the SATF (Special Angel Task Force) could contain it was a full lock down. They put a virus in the air that would attack just the Angel Flu when inhaled PLUS they had to go door to door giving shots. This cost almost 90 billion Angel credits to pay off the debt. Not even the unlimited spending cards could cover it (So apparently it wasn't unlimited spending). Rumors are going around that CAI (Cupids Arrow Inc) is still in debt.

"She said? Well apparently, Inuyasha's been sneaking out and visiting a girl. Or so Midoriko and I think. She's been monitoring our file, and his emotions on the file. It turns out his love level is at level one: Fondness. Apparently he's quite found of someone here." Sango said.

Kagome choked which turned into a cough. Her eyes widened and she mouthed the word 'Who'.

"The case file didn't say who. He has to be at level 4 for us to see who it is." Sango sighed. "So basically, he's starting to fall in love with someone and we have no clue who it is, he probably doesn't even know it himself."

Miroku walked in and handed Kagome a new bowl then smiled at Sango, even though she couldn't see it through his mask. "Sango." he grinned. "Can I see you downstairs for a moment?"

Sango sighed heavily. "Will it affect my health?" she asked.

"Noooo!" Miroku said happily.

"Will I want to kill you afterwards?" she asked.

"Hopefully not."

"Will I resent going?"

Miroku grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the room. "Just come on!" He sighed.

Kagome rolled her eyes and nestled into the fluffy pillows behind her. She closed her eyes when she heard footsteps coming into her room. "Sango." her voice cracked. "I'm fine, just see what Miroku wants."

"I'm not Sango." Inuyasha said. Kagome opened her eyes and looked at him. He held up a mask. "Do I need to wear this?" he asked. Kagome shook her head no. "Oh that's right; I'm not an angel so I don't need to." He walked over and sat down in the seat Sango was in previously. "Hey listen; it's not my fault about this morning… I mean well you know. I tried to wake you but you're really grabby when you sleep."

"Are you apologizing to me?" Kagome asked and rubbed her throat, it hurt her to talk.

"No. I'm saying it's not my fault." he said. "I don't apologize."

"Well that was an apology." Kagome said.

"No it wasn't, and I thought you couldn't get sick." He huffed.

"No, I said I'm immune I never specified to what. Angels get sick from angel sicknesses. Humans get sick from human sicknesses. Unless it's like rabies or something, then animals have it too." She rubbed her throat again. "What where you doing in the attic?" she asked.

"None of your business." he snapped. Kagome raised an eyebrow at him. "What's up there is my business only."

"If Miroku has this huge house why do you live in a house on the campus of a college you don't go to?" she asked.

"Okay I thought you couldn't talk!" He snapped. She shrugged and grabbed her stuffed cat. "I don't like accepting things." he said. "Also, I want to buy a house with my own money, and I don't want to stay in a place I don't own."

"Ahhh." Kagome said, leaning back into the pillow. "You're a Do-It-Myself type of guy." she said.

He shrugged. "You could say that. Also, once you're good enough to walk you're getting out of my room. Your germs are getting in my bed."

Kagome winced at the sound of a slap and Sango screaming at Miroku. "So you're also a clean freak, although you'd never know from your house." she smiled.

"Nice to know you're good enough to joke." The thud of footsteps sounded on the stairs. "Now there's the problem of where I'm going to sleep tonight." Inuyasha said. "You're in my bed."

"I thought there where plenty of rooms." Kagome mumbled.

"No, it may look like a mansion but it's just a four room house. Everything in it is just big." Inuyasha shrugged. "So I have no where to sleep, your bed is still wet."

"Same place where you slept last night!" Miroku chipped up as he walked into the room, pulling his mask over his face. "This is the biggest bed here, and as you proved last night there's plenty of room for the both of you."

Inuyasha grabbed a pillow out from under Kagome and threw it at Miroku. Sango walked in the room. "Well he can't sleep on the couch, it's too small."

"Blow dry the bed with my hair dryer." Kagome said.

"That'll take forever! And you'll never get all of the water out of it." Sango sighed.

"So Inuyasha, you'll have to bunk with Kagome. You're the only human here and she can't share a bed with Sango or Sango will get sick too." Miroku sighed. Even he couldn't sleep with her. "But, I will volunteer-" he pulled Sango into his side. "-To sleep with Sango. I'm willing to take the risk."

Sango slapped him and shoved him away from her. "YOU MEANT HE RISK OF DIEING!? NO FREAKING WAY PERVERT!"

Inuyasha growled and crossed his arms.

Kagome heard a shuffle next to her in her bed. She turned and saw Inuyasha trying to sneak into the bed. "What are you doing?" she whispered.

"What do you think I'm doing? I'm going to bed." he growled.

Kagome scooted away from him a good distance. "Come near me and I'll put you on a ledge again." she warned.

"Don't have to tell me twice, but that goes for you too, keep your hands away from me." he grunted and pulled the covers over him turning his back to her.

Kagome stared at him for a moment. "…Inuyasha?" she whispered.

He sighed and asked annoyingly, "What?"

"Have you… uh… never mind…" she said and turned her back to him.

He turned towards her. "No, tell me." he said.

"It's nothing… go to sleep." Kagome dismissed it with her hand.

"No… I want to know what you where going to ask me." He said.

Kagome turned over and looked at him. "I'll ask you in the morning okay?" She yawned and closed her eyes, settling into the bed.

Inuyasha looked at her sleeping face for a moment before shaking his head and closing his eyes also, but not before pulling all the covers to his side.

Kagome tugged back the covers, he tugged back the covers, she tugged more, and he tugged more. "Stop it!' Kagome whispered.

"You stop!" Inuyasha hissed."

"You started it!"

"Did not!" Inuyasha pulled the covers back to his side.

"Did too!" Kagome growled and pulled the covers back to her.

"Gimmie the covers! I'm cold!" Inuyasha grunted.

"Well then don't sleep by the edge of the blanket, stupid!!" Kagome pulled the covers over near her. Inuyasha growled and scooted over towards Kagome a bit. "Okay now you're too close, move back some!"

"I can't that's where I was before!" he glared.

Kagome huffed and turned her back. "Fine! Just, don't touch me!"
