SORRY I didn't' know that chapter 13 was so confusing. Maybe this will help. Here's what happened. Inuyasha and Miroku rescue Kagome and Sango. The group leaves that village and goes looking for jewel shards. They walk near Jinenji's village and stop by to visit. Sesshomaru drops in with a sick Rin. Kagome offers to care for Rin and Inuyasha decides they should stay near the village to care for Rin.

Chapter 14: Still sickKagome closed the door behind. She stood there watching Inuyasha whispering to Rin. The child lay on her side, Inuyasha slowly rubbed her back and spoke to her. 'He's telling her a bedtime story. Probably one his mom told him. He's going to make a good father. Reading bedtime stories to our chil…oh my god. Did I almost…He's still hung up on Kikyo and I'm thinking about….. What…'
"Kagome."
She looked up at him a blush covering her face. The hanyou looked confused. "I…a…I wanted to ask you if you could make Rin that drink you made me when I was sick."
Inuyasha nodded and looked down at Rin. His golden eyes full of confusion and pain. "He was upset, afraid. He didn't show it but I could smell it."
The miko didn't need to ask who 'HE' was. "You can smell emotions, Inuyasha?"
"Some of them. I can smell fear and he was afraid. When the old woman said that the illness Rin has can killed people." Kagome walked over to Inuyasha and sat next to him. Laying her hand on his shoulder she asked. "Are you saying that Sesshomaru was worried about Rin?"
He nodded. "What is she doing traveling around with that bastard. He came after her when Kagura kidnapped her. Then Sesshomaru brings her to Jijeni to cure. Why would he care? SHE'S HUMAN! I'm only part human but She's all human. He never…cared about…me. Why?"
"I don't know Inuyasha." Kagome looped her arm threw Inuyasha's and rested her head on his shoulder. "Maybe he's changed. That time you went all demon and Sesshomaru came and fought you. He knocked you out. He could have killed you but he didn't. Sesshomaru has tried to steal Tessage several times but when you were hurt and unable to fight, he didn't steal it from you. He told me to give it to you. Inuyasha, I think that deep down he dose care for you. In his own way. No one could ever really hate their little brother. I should know I have a little brother."
"Thank you, Kagome." He whispered, silent tears running down his face. His strong body was stiff and only the snore's of the ill child broke the quiet of the room.
"Inuyasha, it's OK." Using the same tone she had spoken to Rin in. Kagome wrapped her arms him. Inuyasha turned and buried his face in her shirt. His claws digging into her waist as he held her and cried.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"Where's Inuyasha?" Sango asked, walking into Rin's room. The older girl looked around the small room.
"He went hunting." The young miko looked down at the child sleeping in her arms. After hearing Rin call for her mother a fourth time Kagome had lied down next to Rin and taken the child into her arms. Inuyasha had covered them with his hoari and sat nearby watching them sleep.
A frown crossed the slayer's face. "It's the middle of the night. Couldn't he have waited?"
"Rin started whimpering in her sleep, then Inuyasha left. He's getting ingredients for a kind of medicinal soup." Kagome made no mention of their embrace or Inuyasha's tears. She had seen him cry only once in all the time they had hunted for jewel shards.
'I glad that he is able to share his feelings with me.' Kagome sat up, rubbing her waist. Inuyasha's claws had left ten little marks. They didn't hurt and his claws hadn't broken her skin, but they were little reminders of his embrace. Of his hands on her, holding her, his face...
"Kagome are you well? You're turning pink."
"Ha ha, it's nothing." Kagome covered her pink cheeks. 'Every time I think if Inuyasha hugging me I start to blush.' Seeing that Sango was watching the blushing girl lied. "This room is a little hot. I want to keep Rin warm. I'll just go outside for a minute then make some broth for Rin."
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII FOREST HUNTING IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"Baka!" Inuyasha cursed again. 'Crying like a baby for my brother. Feh, I don't care about Sesshomaru. Fuck him. The heartless bastard can drop dead. Probable keeping the kid as a servant or…a pet. Like I care. The girls can watch over his pup. It's not my problem. '
Inuyasha raised his claws and quickly slit the boar's neck. The animal died quickly without feeling any pain or even knowing that it had been in danger. Inuyasha looked into the duffel bag that Kagome had told him to use to carry what he needed for the liver soup. With the boar he now had all of the items he needed. Picking up the dead boar, threw it over his shoulder and grabbed the duffel bag.
He needed to get the animals gutted and boil their liver quickly. The sooner she drank the soup the sooner she would get better. 'She is so ill and in pain. Poor pup. Kagome is with her. Kagome….' He knew that she wouldn't tell anyone what had happened but…
Inuyasha closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. Even with the blood from the dead animals he could still smell her. He had found one of her long black hairs on him this morning. Tangled with one of his. The black and silver wrapped around each other like he and Kagome had been. He left her in the room asleep. His thoughts and emotions to close to the surface for it to be safe to be near her.
'I wanted to mate her. There was a sick pup in the room and all I could think about was pushing Kagome back onto the ground. Making her moan as I lick and kiss her. Holding her hips still while I… Damn monk is turning ME into a henti.'
Inuyasha took a deep breath. 'I need to clam down. I glad Shippo isn't old enough to know every smell and no one else's nose is as good as mind or they'd know. Not even Kikyo effected me like this. Only Kagome. Fuck! I won't go threw this again. Every one I love dies on me. Not Kagome, nothing will ever hurt her. I'd die first. FUCK!' Leaping threw the forest he hurried back to Kagome.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Manor house IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"I'm going to be sick." Angel and Pagan wrapped their wings around themselves like a shield, blocking out what Inuyasha and Sango were doing. Shippo sat next to Kagome watching her study.
The skillful honyou gutted the dead animals for their livers. He tossed the livers and other ingredients for the soup into the small pot of boiling water. Sango sat next to him salting and preparing the animal flesh so it would last for days. When the slayer was done preparing the animal flesh she walked over to a large bowl to wash off the blood. "It's Miroku's turn to cook, I'll get him."
Sango walked to Rin's room. Quietly she slid open the door and stepped into the room. Miroku was kneeling beside Rin, he placed a wet cloth on the child's head. Rin opened her eyes and stared at him.
"Sesshomaru-sama?" She whispered threw dry lips. Her voice sounded dry.
"Hello, Rin. My name is Miroku. Your lord left you here to get better. Would you like some water?" She nodded and Miroku gentle lifted her head and held a cup to her lips. After a few sips she pushed the cup away.
The monk smiled down at the young child. "Inuyasha is making you a soup to help you get well. I don't know what it will taste like but a strong girl like you isn't afraid of soup. Would you like some?"
Rin nodded and Miroku stood up and saw Sango watching him. "Sango…I a…" Confused by the soft look in her eyes he forgot what he was going to say.
"It's not ready yet. The soup for Rin. It's your turn to cook, so I'll sit with Rin." The monk nodded and left the room. Sango walked over and knelt beside the child. 'He really does like children.'
"I have to…ah…go." Rin told her.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"Rin is awake." Miroku told the group.
"I'll go check on her." Kagome closed her textbook and notebook.
"Me too." Shippo hopped up, wagging his little tail. He was pleased that there was another child to play with.
"No, Shippo. I don't want you to get sick. You can see Rin when she gets better. Ok?"
"Fine." Shippo watched Kagome leave the main room. Bored, he walked over to Angel and Pagan. The two girls were still hiding behind their wings. "Pagan, Angel don't be such babies. If you want to eat then you have to hunt and kill your food. I'll not hidding and I'm just a kid. I'm bored, everyone is busy but you two."
"There is nothing to do here." Pagan nagged. "No TV, no radio, no video game systems, no comics, no books, no magazines or newspapers to read. There is nothing to do here. How can you guys live in this time and not die of boredom?"
Everyone in the room ignored them. This was the tenth time they had heard this speech.
"Feh, If you don't like it here then go back home." Inuyasha told them as he poured some of the soup into two cups. He handed one to Shippo and ordered the fox cub to drink it so he wouldn't get sick. Taking the second cup, the inu-honyou walked to Rin's room and shut the door behind him.
"Hey that's a great idea. Let's go over to our time and bring back some stuff. Just like Kagome dose. I'll make a list and we can bring something for everyone. Kagome and Inuyasha can come with us and…"
"Pagan, stop and think. Kagome won't leave Rin while she's sick and Inuyasha won't leave Kagome here. We'll 'shop' just like we did in the circus when they ran out of money. Sango, Miroku, we're going to our time do you want anything?"
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Kagome was holding Rin in her lap. The child was crying because her blankets and clothes were wet. "Don't cry. You're sick it's not your fault." Inuyasha stood there frozen at the sight of tears. 'Why do they cry so much? I hate it. What am I suppose to do?'
"Inuyasha, Rin threw up. Could you take her blankets outside while I give her a bath? Oh, ask Sango to bring me my pajama shit, please." The inu-honyou frown as he set down the cup on a table. He was picking up the dirty blankets when the door opened.
His soft ears perked up and he grinned. 'Great, they can clean up after the girl.'
"Hey guys we're going to modern time to get some stuff do you want anything? Some Ramen or food or anything for the kid?" Angel was holding a notepad and pen.
"Ramen and garlic chips. Two bags and lots of Ramen." Inuyasha told them while wrapping up the blankets. 'If they aren't going to help then they better bring me lots of Ramen.'
"How are you going to get the stuff?" The busy miko asked helping Rin out of her dirty clothes.
Angel had been afraid that she would ask that. 'I can't tell her that, Pagan and I are going to steal from whichever store that we can break into and take what we want but don't worry. We've done it thousands of times before and have never been caught. We are exceptional thieves. So what do you want us to steal for you?'
"I'm going to ask your mom." She lied. 'Like I'm really going to ask your poor mom. She's going to go bankrupted buying stuff for all of us.'
"I told her about you two just in case you went threw the well. I need some cough syrup and flu medicine for Rin. Oh and ask my mom to see if she has any of my old clothes for Rin. See if Souta picked up my homework. Mom unusually has some food made. Oh, make sure that no one is looking before you leave the well, Ok? I'd go with you but I don't want to leave Rin right now."
"I understand, Kagome." Angel stuck the notepad and pencil into her bag. Seeing the modern girl's worried look, the winged honyou tried the reassure her say-sister. "Don't worry we won't let anyone see us and we'll be back in a day or two. In the air we're fast. Very fast. Trust me."
