Only Save One
Chapter 1: It's Hard to Be Sick
"Kagome, watch out! Get over here quick!" Inuyasha said picking up Kagome, who was looking terribly ill. What's wrong with her? She's usually up and running, he thought to himself running from the demon. Is she ill?
"WIND SCAR!" screamed Inuyasha, slicing the demon into two slices.
"Kagome, are you okay?" said Sango bending over and putting her hiriocus ( thank you Crazed up Chick!) down beside her.
"She's warm. Lets get her to Kaede's hut, maybe she'll know what's going on," said Sango looking at Inuyasha.
"I'll go. I will meet you guys at the fields later," he said, and then picked Kagome up again and rushed toward the village.
"Kaede, there is something wrong with Kagome. She's out cold, but her forehead is still very hot. Is she ill?" said Inuyasha with a worried face.
"Yes, Inuyasha, she is terribly ill. She will have to stay out of battle for a while. She seems to have gotten the flu," Kaede said, putting a cold cloth on Kagome's forehead.
"I will stay here with her. Meanwhile, will you tell the others that I am staying out of battle for couple of days with Kagome?" he asked looking down at Kagome, who was sleeping under about two or three sheets with her hair in a tiny pony-tail.
"Very well," she said, and walked out of the hut.
For awhile Inuyasha looked outside sitting by Kagome, keeping guard until he felt something warm placed on top of his hand.
"Kagome?"he said looking at her.
"Inuyasha, what happened?" she said sitting up, but Inuyasha placed her back down.
"Kaede says you caught the flu," he said, now putting his hands on her cheek.
"What are you doing?" she said looking at him.
"When you fainted, you looked so cold, and so helpless. Now you look warm and protected," he said sitting her up and embracing her.
"Inuyasha, I am protected," she said returning the embrace.
"Whenever I am here, in this position, or anywhere with you, I am protected. And don't forget I am always here for you, no matter what happens," she said, still hanging on to him.
"Kagome, I will always protect you, and I promise I will never leave you if you never forget about me," he said bringing her even closer.
"Inuyasha, I could never forget you. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't, it would hurt to much."
"I won't forget about you either. Ever."
