Chapter Six

Quiet

A.N. Fuck you all. I'm just kidding. I felt like saying that. Okay, today is May 25, 2005. Tomorrow I will be reliving the worst day of my life. Unless you like blood and gore and sadness you don't need to know. Trust me, I was sick for two days because of it and I still have days were it just pops into my head. Anyway, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

Kagome looked at the looming school above her. She did not want to go in, yet she knew that she had to sooner or later. She slowly walked to the doors that greatly resembled prison doors. She opened them and walked inside. Everyone stared at her as she passed by and she could hear their whispering.

During one class, the teacher completely ignored her and asked every other student two questions each. In another everyone tried to ask her questions and when she didn't answer they left her alone only to go whisper among themselves.

At lunch Kagome was completely miserable. Her friends sat around her talking and trying to make the day seem normal. But they kept throwing her uneasy glances and glaring at anyone who stared at Kagome.

After lunch Kagome decided that she couldn't take it anymore. She wrote a note to the office that said she was going home. She walked home and when she got there she packed her backpack and got ready to go back to the Feudal Era.

Her mom bit her lip to stop from protesting. She watched as her daughter threw ten packages of ramen into her pack and as she walked out the door and to the well house.

Kagome took a last look at her house before closing the well house door. She looked down into the well and jumped in. She landed on the other side and regretted it almost immediately. It was raining and she hadn't brought a coat.

She climbed up the side of the well, trying not to slip. She made it to the top and pulled herself out. Only then did the rain start coming down more heavily. She sighed and started trudging towards Kaede's village.

Kagome entered Kaede's hut soaked to the bone. Sango hurriedly made Kagome change into some dry clothes and wrapped her in a blanket that was warmed by the fire. Inuyasha was ready to yell at her but stopped at Sango's warning look.

Kagome shivered all through the night and Inuyasha watched her pitifully. Try as he might he couldn't keep his eyes open and soon he fell asleep.

But even his sleep wasn't peaceful. He was haunted by nightmares, in which Kagome was seriously injured and he couldn't help her. It was then, did he smell the unusual scent from Kagome.

It woke him and caused him to look at Kagome and inhale deeply. For a brief moment he lost control of his instincts and started to growl. When Kagome stirred he gained control and he stopped. He came to his senses and realized what it was he smelt. "No… she couldn't be. That damn wolf is going to pay. I'll tear him limb from limb, starting with his weak spot," Inuyasha thought furiously.

The other thoughts that went through Inuyasha's mind were gruesome pictures of what he could do to Koga. One dream was stabbing him with Tessaiga but that was only one of thousands of possibilities (evil grin).

Inuyasha spent the rest of the night watching over Kagome. Knowing Koga, he would smell Kagome and come running when he found out. When morning came, he was going to hunt that wolf down and send him to the burning fires of hell.

Unfortunately, Kagome woke up that morning with a horrible fever and a stuffy nose. Inuyasha wouldn't leave her side no matter how many looks she gave him.

Miroku, being the nosy and mysterious monk that we all love, could sense something going on with Inuyasha. When he asked Inuyasha, he could've been killed, if looks could kill, by the glare that Inuyasha gave him. The monk only became more interested but he minded his own business.

Sango worried restlessly about Kagome. She made sure Kagome was always with a blanket and that she was comfortable and that she was this and that. She even made ramen for Inuyasha so Kagome wouldn't have to do it. Kagome was obviously not too happy about being fussed over. She tried to get up and walk around but Inuyasha and Sango pushed her back down on the floor.

Shippo and Kirara smelled something different about Kagome but since Kirara was unable to talk and Shippo couldn't put his finger on it being so young, they weren't able to spill (I hope you all know that I'm doing this to annoy you all.)

That night, after everyone had gone to sleep. Inuyasha talked to Kagome. She didn't answer but she was a good listener. When Inuyasha was done, he asked, "Are you sure you're ready to be fighting youkai?"

She hesitated but nodded. He sighed. "Kagome, I have to tell you something."

She gave him a worried look. "It's not about me, it's about me," he said. He took a deep breath. "Kagome, you're-"
