"Ugh..." Kagome coughed, moaning while Kenshin held her.
"Um... maybe I should go make some tea." Kaoru fidgeted, leaving the room as quickly as possible.
Yahiko tumbled through the door, carrying a large pail of water that Megumi had requested. Inuyasha sniffed down at him, mumbling an insult about the boy's weakness under his breath. Suddenly, everyone in the room froze as Kagome's eyes blinked open.
"Shippo..? Sango?! Inuyasha! Miroku?!" She said in unison as she looked at Yahiko, Kaoru (who had just walked in with the tea), and Kenshin--slapping Kenshin automatically. "MIROKU! Put me down you pervert!!"
"Oro?!" Kenshin exclaimed, dazed.
"Kagome...are you okay?" Inuyasha looked at her in surprise. "That's not Miroku."
"cough put me down...sit..." She choked out between coughs, causing inuyasha to fall onto the wooden floor of the dojo.
"What the hell? Are you on a short leash or what?" Yahiko laughed as Inuyasha cursed into the floorboards.
"Dammit...even delerious she remembers that cursed word." He lifted himself up and grumbled next to the wall, leaning against it with his arms crossed.
"Stop it you two. Kenshin, put the girl down, Yahiko--get me some cloth! Kaoru, thank you for the tea. Dog-boy, stop growling." She stroked off, meanwhile testing the water temperature with her finger.
"Dog Boy?!" Inuyasha huffed, uncrossing his arms for a moment in surprise.
"Should I go get Dr. Gensai?" Kaoru offered.
"That man couldn't tell a disease from a rabbit, let me deal with this." She snapped, taking the pieces of cloth Yahiko returned with and wetting them in the pail.
"Is sky lady sick?" Kenshin asked, placing himself down next to Megumi.
"Who cares if she is or not, she's useless this way." Inuyasha grumbled, but gave the girl a somewhat tender look as she let out another moan. Kenshin made a mental note of the reaction as it was unnoticed by the rest of the gang.
"Jeez, you're as insensitive as Sano." The boy yelled at Inuyasha.
"Who the hell is 'sano'?!" The half-demon responded gruffly.
"Jeez, I hate waiting around like this. What now Megumi?" Yahiko turned to the doctor, who was busily preparing something in a crucible.
"Let us leave Megumi alone, we'll discover the answers to our questions when sky lady is better." Kenshin quickly shooed the enraged pair out the door and let it slide closed behind him.
"We should be glad that Ms. Megumi is such a good doctor, sky lady will be fine." Kenshin reassured the hanyou as they gathered outside the door. The trio fell into a calm silence as Kagome's moans and coughs began to subside on the other side of the wall.
"What's a doctor?" Inuyasha interrupted the tranquil period.
"oro?" Kenshin glanced at him in confusion.
"What do you mean what's a doctor?! Are you telling me you're so dense you don't even know what a doctor is?!" Yahiko exclaimed.
"They are those that care for the sick." Kenshin explained.
"Oh...like a priestess." Inuyasha nodded as if he understood.
"You sound like someone from the feudal era or something" Yahiko rolled his eyes.
"You gotta problem with that?" Inuyasha huffed.
"Wait--are you saying that you are from the feudal era?!" Kenshin and Yahiko stared at him in shock.
"Now who's the dense one?" Inuyasha smirked down at the boy.
