Chapter 9
Shippou stopped biting Inuyasha's arm and Inuyasha settled down. His grip on Shippou loosened and the kitsune was free. Kagome's vision became blurry, dizziness over came her and she fell to the ground. "Kagome!" Inuyasha ran to the unconscious miko. Kagome laid on her stomach and her head laid sideways so that her face wasn't in the dirt. Her breathing became heavy and she began to experience both cold and hot flashes. Her face was full of sweat and she was shivering at the same time. Inuyasha was frightened and he didn't know what was going on. The kitsune landed on the ground and went over to the unconscious girl. Shippou put his hand on Kagome's forehead and it felt as if his hand was burning. Kagome was running a very high temperature and it was really bad. Inuyasha picked up Kagome bridle style and headed to Kaede's village. The sick girl in the hanyou's arms was getting pail and weak by the moment.
"Inuyasha I don't get it. She was just fine before" Shippou was all upset.
"Yeah I know. So running a really high fever and if I don't get her to present Japan soon, I don't know what will happen" Inuyasha explained. "Shippou go find Sesshoumaru and ask him what condition did he find Kagome in" Inuyasha gave out orders to the kitsune.
"I'm on it" With that Shippou transformed into the pink ball and flew in the opposite direction.
"Inu...yasha..." Kagome mumbled in her slumber.
"Kagome hold on" Inuyasha spoke softly. "It's not like she's going to die but with this it looks deadly" Inuyasha thought to himself as he raced through the woods.
The trees were blurry to Inuyasha because he was traveling pretty fast. He came across Koga and his two henchmen. Inuyasha just kept going, ignoring his ex.-rival in love. Koga said he didn't want Kagome anymore so he shouldn't be worrying about her. Well...that's what they thought. Deep down Koga couldn't let go of Kagome, he was still in love with her, and her happiness still mattered. All Koga could make out of Inuyasha's image, was only a blur with a mix of green and white in his arms. Koga knew it was Kagome and he couldn't understand why Inuyasha was traveling so fast. Koga had to know what was going on that made Inuyasha run so fast. Was it a demon? Naraku? Or was it just to get somewhere? Questions were going through the wolf's mind and he wanted answers to them. Koga ran ahead to catch up to Kagome and Inuyasha. Finally Inuyasha reached the well and was about to jump in when he was interrupted by Koga. Koga may not have jewel shards anymore but over the months, the jewel sort of gave him the power to run fast permanently.
"Oh great, something I really don't want to deal with" Inuyasha murmured.
"What the hell?...What's wrong with Kagome!" Koga demanded while he still struggled breathing.
"It's not your concern anymore" Inuyasha implied.
"Oh hell it is" Koga replied with a nasty attitude.
"You don't love her anymore and she never loved you anyways. You have no business here so run back to your wolf buddies or pals" Inuyasha yelled.
"For your information I still love her and I always did and will" Koga confessed.
"Argh! Huh?" Inuyasha growled but stopped at the sound of Kagome's voice.
"Inu...yasha...I don't feel so good. Bring me home" Kagome said and then passed from the fever's heat that was giving her.
"Is she sick?" Koga, so oblivious.
"What the hell does it look like you scrawny wolf?" Inuyasha asked.
"I don't know. It looks like she's dying or something. Her face is pail as a ghost, she's shivering and sweating at the same time, and it looks like she's suffering from a deadly disease" Koga analyzed.
"Very good...you did your homework and now I have to leave. I need to get her to present Japan where she lives because their medicine is so more advanced then in this era" Inuyasha explained and turned back to the well.
"Let me come with you" Koga sort begged.
"You can't go through the damn well. Only Kagome and me can" Inuyasha smirked.
"Oh hell I can" Koga knew he couldn't but denied it.
"Stop lying and go off back to your damn tribe" Inuyasha was getting really annoyed.
"Why don't you make me you mutt and what happens if I don't? What are you going to do? Kagome needs help and she can't wait on this fight" Koga did have a point but he shouldn't push Inuyasha too far.
With that Inuyasha made a growling sound and then he relaxed. He turned away and jumped right into the well without saying another word to the leader of the wolf demon tribe. Koga growled once his rival turned his back on him and left with his woman. Koga leapt over to the well and looked inside of it to only be able to see darkness and look like it goes forever on his angle. The wolf demon laid his arms on the edge of the Bone Eaters Well and just stared into the emptiness. Ginta and Hakkaku arrived out of breath like always and both had confusing expressions. Ginta tried to talk to Koga but he simply told the two to buzz off.
Inuyasha reached to the other side of the well with Kagome in his arms. She was still unconscious and she wasn't looking so well. It was scaring Inuyasha because he never seen Kagome so ill. He leapt out of the well gracefully and busted the large doors that led to the outside world. He ran to the house to find the back sliding door was open. Mrs. Higurashi was in the kitchen all cheerful until Inuyasha came barging in with her daughter.
"Oh my god, Kagome. What's wrong with my Kagome?" Mrs. Higurashi began to panic.
"I'm not sure but before she was just fine and then she passed out. I sent Shippou to find out answers because I wasn't with her last night. She ran off into the woods and that very night it rained so I'm guessing she got sick from the rain. My brother Sesshoumaru found her and so that's where Shippou is heading right now" Inuyasha explained.
"You let her go into the woods alone!" Mrs. Higurashi yelled.
"Hey she was all upset okay. I thought she was coming back" Inuyasha laid Kagome down on the couch.
"Let me guess it was you she was upset about" Mrs. Higurashi concluded.
"Argh I so not need this right now and no it wasn't me. Kaede died" the hanyou replied.
"Kaede?" Kagome's mother didn't know Kaede so yeah...
"Mmmm...mom? Inu...yasha? I think I'm going to barf" Kagome woke up.
"Ah! Not on the carpet! Hold on let me help you to the bathroom to do that" Mrs. Higurashi signed to Inuyasha.
Inuyasha understood and picked up Kagome bridle style again and carried her upstairs to the bathroom. He sat her down on the bathroom floor and let her mother take care of the rest. The door was closed and all he heard was the sound of coughing and gagging. He also heard Kagome's mother speak to her daughter softly. Things were getting worse and the sound of Kagome vomiting scared him the most. Few minutes past and then her heard the bathroom sink flowing. After that Kagome was struggling to walk out of the bathroom with her mother. Kagome collapsed and Inuyasha caught her.
"We need to get her to a hospital. This isn't you average cold, sickness, or disease. I need your help Inuyasha" Mrs. Higurashi explained.
"What do you want me to do?" Inuyasha stood in confusing.
"Err...ah just help me get her in and out of the car" Kagome's mother said viciously.
"Sorry I asked" Inuyasha's face turned red and then back to normal color.
About a half hour past and they arrived at the hospital. Inuyasha had his red cap on like usual and he carried the sick Kagome into the building with the guidance of her mother. In no time doctors and nurses took over and practically ripped Kagome out of Inuyasha's arms. Inuyasha quickly got annoyed and was about to pound their heads but Kagome's mother held him back. One of the nurses directed the hanyou and Mrs. Higurashi to the waiting room. Inuyasha protested at first but
Kagome's mother calmed him down.
"What's their deal anyway. I want to see Kagome now and they won't let me or you" Inuyasha walked back and forth in the room.
"Inuyasha I want to see Kagome as badly as you do, but first they need to find out what's wrong with her first. It's too crowded and they just don't what us in the way. Once they're down examining her, they'll let us in" Mrs. Higurashi tried to put up the best smile she could put on.
"Urhhh..." the hanyou's arms were crossed and his fingers tapped on this arms.
"Mrs. Higurashi?" a doctor of the hospital came into the room with a clipboard and papers.
"Is my daughter okay?" Mrs. Higurashi quickly got up.
Inuyasha stopped walking and turned to the doctor.
"We can't quite understand-" The doctor began but Inuyasha interrupted him.
"What do you mean you don't understand? You're supposed to understand" Inuyasha waved his fist in the doctors face.
"Inuyasha!" Mrs. Higurashi grabbed Inuyasha's arm and pulled him away.
"As I was saying...your daughter has some kind of virus that we can't determine yet. If we give her the right medicine, she'll be fine but we don't know what she has yet" the doctor explained.
"What kind of doctor are you if you can't figure out what's wrong with Kagome!" Inuyasha started again.
"Inuyasha!" the hanyou backed off. "What's wrong with my daughter?" Mrs. Higurashi repeated.
