Chapter…8?

Last time…

" Obviously you have never driven with Rin" Shippo said as the Takahashi mansion pulled into view.

This time….

As soon as Kagome pulled into the driveway, Miroku jumped out of the car, kissing the ground as Shippo and Kagome stared at him.

" Hey .. Guys, I'm…in a bit of…. Pain here!" Inuyasha gasped from the backseat as Kagome jumped out of the car and opened the back door. A fine sweat had broken out over his face, he seemed to be panting almost like an over grown dog, Shippo leaned over her shoulder looking slightly frightened at the way his brother was acting. In all truth he had never seen Inuyasha show this much pain at any one time in his life! Unless he was pulling the pity parties vote from Kagome.

Gently Kagome pulled him to his feet so he could use her as a leaning post as the group stumbled into the foyer of the house. The house was silent, it was obvious the Sesshomaru and Rin hadn't been home since that morning as Shippo scampered off ahead of Kagome.

Of course Inuyasha's room had to be the room farthest away from the kitchen and from the rest of the house hold rooms, yet it was beside Kagome's room. Weirdness.

" I dun't wants zee cheese!... but the marzipan is nice.." Inuyasha mumbled as his vision swam in and out of focus, not good while climbing a set of marble stairs.

" Hold on Inu, we're almost to your room" Kagome panted as she got him to the top of the flight. By that time Inuyasha had begun to whistle, horribly, to something close to Blink 182's 'I miss you', Kagome dragged him up the last few steps and all but threw him onto his bed.

" Now Inuyasha can you stay still while Shippo calls Keade?" she asked as he nodded like a five year old that was told he couldn't have a cookie until after dinner. " Are you sure?" She felt like such an idiot, but the chemicals must really be doing something weird to him to get him to act this way.

" I'll be good" He mumbled as he lay down on his bed, eyes peeking at her over the covers. If he hadn't been injured Kagome would've jumped on him and hugged the life out of him, but gritting her teeth and restraining she left the room, closing the door silently behind her.

" Is he okay?" Kagome jumped and spun around as Shippo's voice called from behind her.

" Yeah, well the chemicals are doing something to him, he's acting like he's five. I need someone with more medical training than I do! But right now I need to get this burn looked at" She scolded herself as she walked back to her room, muttering over how she hadn't noticed the angry red burn on the side of her left arm.

"Stupid! Why didn't I notice this before?" She stated as she ran icy water over the burn, causing the skin to go pleasantly numb before wrapping the appendage in a towel. How idiotic was it of her not to notice a growing burn on her arm, wait… growing! Looking at her arm she noticed that indeed the burn had traveled further along her arm and was steadily creeping up towards her shoulder. "Bad, oh, bad, bad, BAD!" She cursed as she ran back to Inuyasha's room, someone should be there right?

Bursting into the room she found an elderly lady hunched over a squirming Inuyasha who looked about ready to puke as she forcefully shoved a liberal amount of something green into his mouth.

"Blech!" he exclaimed, once again pulling the covers up to his nose, trying to keep the foul substance away from his mouth.

" Um.. could you help me?" she asked as the elderly woman looked over at her. She wore an eye patch over her right eye as she looked Kagome up and down. " I have a burn on my arm and it seems to be- Ouch!" she had touched the burn, it having already traveled up her arm to her elbow, as the elderly lady gave a frown and looked over her arm.

" Ah yes, Inuyasha had one of these the first day he came home from high school, never figured out what caused it but I know how to fix it, luckily" She limped over to a small basket and pulled out a small jar of a pink substance. Kagome could smell the stuff all the way across the room, an over powering smell of ginseng and something else that reminded her of pine needles.

The woman grabbed Kagome's arm and applied a liberal amount over the spreading burn.

" That should fix it, unfortunately you will probably start running a fever in about an hour but after that everything should heal nicely. As for Inuyasha the chemicals have just made him have slight amnesia, allowing him to think he's a five year old. He should be fine in about half an hour, now I want you to get some rest! That burn was pretty bad for a mortal." Kagome nodded as she noticed Inuyasha had gotten up and was standing next to her, looking really sad, almost like a kicked puppy.

" Are you feeling okay?" he asked innocently, well as innocently as his deep voice would let him.

" Yeah, just a bit tired, I think I'll go to my room to lie down" She smiled at him as his face brightened.

"Why don't you just stay here! I don't need to sleep, it's only 4:00, and you can have my bed." His face was so comical, but staying in his room just seemed somehow wrong.

"No Inuyasha, I'm going to go back to my room. You get some sleep" She watched as his shoulders slumped and he shuffled towards his closet.

"I knew you didn't like me. But it's okay, I'll stay here" He pulled out what looked like a small red fire truck, slightly beaten up like some one had tried to smash it against a wall. No matter how much Kagome wanted to resist laughing she couldn't help it, a 17 year old young man playing with a bright red fire truck and making vroom noises was just too much. Laughing, she fell to the floor as his eyes went wide before he looked down at the floor.

"Stop laughing at me!" He yelled, his glare meeting up with her confused stare. "I know you don't want to get near a filthy half breed, but you don't have to laugh at me!" Tears collected in his eyes as he angrily scrubbed at them, trying to act tough. At once Kagome was, confused, sad and even a little hurt that he would think that she would laugh at him of all people. Has he just said half breed? Oh, well. She ignored the nagging feeling something strange was going on in this household as she knelt next to the poor confused boy.

"Inuyasha, look at me" her voice was quiet as he looked up at her, tears silently running down his cheeks. She wiped his face with her good arm "There, that's better. And No Inuyasha you're not a freak or a weirdo, sure sometimes you can be a bum but hey that's you. C'mon I need some sleep." She tugged at his hand not holding onto the toy truck. His whole demeanor seemed to change as he jumped onto his bed. She laughed as he pulled the covers over his head.

"C'mon Inuyasha I need to sleep. Remember the old lady said so" She giggled as he came out and pulled the covers back for her. She jumped in as he tucked her in and crawled over her onto the other side of the king sized bed. The bed itself was really floor was level with the top of the bed.

" Keade said you need sleep so I'll make sure everyone else stays quiet" He said as she turned over to see his back towards her and him facing the door. Reaching out she grabbed a handful of his hair and tugged gently so he toppled backwards onto the bed.

" Wha-?" she silenced him by pulling a hand over his mouth as she yawned.

" Sleep" she said pointing to the bed next to her and turning over.

Inuyasha watched as her breathing became even and she fell into a very deep sleep, she was weird, where had he known her from? She seemed familiar, the thought caused his head to thump painfully. Owww! Owy, owy owy! He cradled his head as she gave a moan and rolled over. She was really pretty, his head continued to throb, as he pulled the hair away from her face a smile crossing her features and another sigh. The sigh made him feel slightly weird as he continued to stare down at her.

Kagome.

His head gave a stab of pain, as he recalled her name. A vision of a young girl with long braids as she cried, white milk covering her head as a bunch of people made fun of her. He looked closer, it was him! He was making her cry! Guilt washed over him as the vision faded, taken over by another one. A fuzzy note was in front of him as he gave the card a sniff. Kagome's scent was covering the note as he watched himself cross the playground to where she was, he waited as he watched himself rip the card up in front of her, then yelling at her as she ran away obviously crying. Why had he been such an ass? That's when he saw it, Kikyo, Naraku, they were laughing as Naraku handed the 12 year old Inuyasha a roll of hundreds. Now he remembered, he was threatened and paid to make her life a living misery, how he had hated that. That inability to help her, that fateful day when she was thrown off of the school and decided to save her, how she had gotten even with him, and pissed of Kikyo and Naraku. Then the after party for him. Reform school, all those years of misery! His head by that time felt like it was going to crack in two.

" I'm so sorry Kagome!" he pleaded as his vision spun, " so.. sorry" he couldn't breathe, why was this happening to him? He gasped for air before he toppled over, head landing on Kagome's stomach. She jus gave a snort as his world darkened.
