Servant for a hundred Days

Chapter 6: Kagome is Sick!

"Kagome...Kagome...wake up Kagome…"

"Huh ?"

"Oh dear, you are really having a really high fever,"

Kagome slowly opened her eyes, her mother placed a hand over her head and looked worriedly at her. Kagome felt like her whole body was on fire.

"What happened? How did I get Home? I thought I was at Inuyasha's brother's party," said Kagome as she tried to sit up. Mrs. Higurashi helped her daughter up and smile. "You were at a party last night. A nice young man with white hair brought you back home; he said you got drunk after being dared to drink wine,"

Dared to drink wine? Dared? What a big fat liar! Wait, who was he? Thought Kagome.

"Uh, mama, who is the guy who sent me back home? Did you get his name?" asked Kagome weakly. Mrs. Higurashi put her index finger on her lip and think, "He said his name is Hakudoshi, a very strange boy indeed, he is the friend you were talkin about that wanted your help with the housework right?"

Hakudoshi? Onigumo Hakudoshi? Why did he bring me back? I can't even remember what happened last night, all I remember is dancing with him and drinking wine, than getting dizzy than... he didn't do anything to me did he? Kagome's head was going hair-wire.

"No mum, he is another friend...The friend I was talkin about was Inuyasha. You sure you're not angry? I drank alcohol even though I'm not supposed to…" said Kagome guiltily.

"Oh baby, everyone does something wrong once in a while, but drinking alcohol is wrong," said Mrs. Higurashi.

"Sorry, mama," said Kagome as she gave her mother a hug. "I feel so hot, is the air conditioner spoiled or something? My whole body felt so weak and burning hot!"

"You are having a high fever, you were all wet by the rain when you came back last night," said mama "So I suggest you stay in bed and rest, you are not going to school today, I'll cook porridge for you,"

Kagome nodded and smiled. "Okay, I'll just have a nap now," she said. Mama kissed Kagome on the head and exited Kagome's bedroom. "I hope Hakudoshi didn't do anything to me, coz if Inuyasha sees that he'll give me hell," Kagome moaned and looked out of the window, soon she fell asleep.

Inuyasha waited at the gate of Kagome's school. He wasn't in the mood to see her but he had to pick her up for she is his maid after all. The memories of last night flushed back into his mind, making his mood worst. But after a long time of waiting, Kagome still haven't appeared. Inuyasha's patient was getting shorter, than he saw Kouga walking out from the school, circled by a group of girls who stubbornly followed him even after being shooed. Inuyasha walked up to him and glare at the group of girls. The girls quickly walked away, leaving Kouga in front of Inuyasha. "Where is she?" asked Inuyasha flatly. "Where is who?" asked Kouga. "Kagome," replied Inuyasha with annoyance. "Didn't you know? She had a high fever so she didn't come to school today, I'm going to visit her now, wanna come?" asked Kouga with a smirk. "But don't forget, Kagome is still mine,"

"Keh, that's what you think," grumbled Inuyasha as he went into his car and followed Kouga who was driving his motorbike. They both went to Kagome's house. "Maybe this isn't such a good idea," Inuyasha said to himself "After what she had done in front of me, that bastard Hakudoshi!" Inuyasha slammed his fist on the staring wheel.

Inuyasha and Kouga reached the house a while later. Kouga had brought some flowers with him but Inuyasha didn't bother to buy anything. Mrs. Higurashi is the one who came to open the door when Kouga pushed the door bell. "Oh, and who are you?" asked Mrs. Higurashi cheerfully. "I'm Kouga, Kagome's classmate, and this is Inuyasha, a friend of hers too." Answered Kouga. "Ah, so you are the young man my daughter had been taking about all the time, you are the friend who needed someone to help with the housework," said Mrs. Higurashi as she let both of them in the house. "I'm sorry she couldn't help today,"

Inuyasha tried to pun on a smile but ended up looking away. "Uh, it's okay,"

"Hey, smelly dog, I didn't know you take your girlfriend as a servant, you are really mean," said Kouga mischievously as he gave Inuyasha a hard hit on the head. Inuyasha growled at Kouga "Watch your mouth, skinny wolf!"

-KNOCK-

-KNOCK-

"Come in," said Kagome weakly when she heard a knock on her door. Mama smiled as she came in "You've got visitors," She said cheerfully (as always…). "Oh okay, let them in,"

It wasn't so surprising when Kouga kun came in with some flowers, but it was frightening when Inuyasha came in after Kouga with a frown (his usual frown actually). Kagome suddenly felt full of guilt with no reason, she tried to put on a smile but ended with a fake smile.

"I'll leave you youngsters alone now, I'll make some tea," said Mama as she exited the room, closing the door behind her. "These are for you Kagome," Kouga shove the flowers he brought into Kagome's arms. "Oh, thanks Kouga kun," said Kagome as she put the flowers at her side table. She stole a glance from Inuyasha who was looking out of the window. "So how are you feeling now?" asked Kouga, breaking Kagome's thoughts. "Oh-uh, I think I'm getting better now," answered Kagome. Kouga smiled than looked at Inuyasha and sighed, "Hey, smelly dog, did you came here just to look out of that window? You'll get a better view from outside you know! Now say something to your girlfriend!" he commanded. Inuyasha snapped out of his thoughts and glared at Kouga, than looked at Kagome. "I hope you get well soon…" said Inuyasha as if being forced to say it, than he glanced at Kagome and quickly looked away again.

That glance made Kagome's heart skip a beat. There was pain and sadness in his eyes...thought Kagome. But why? Was it true Hakudoshi took a chance on me while I was drunk? And in front of Inuyasha? This can't be! This is all wrong, it isn't supposed to happen!

"Moshi-moshi? Oh hi mum... now?... Uh... ok!... Bye, love you too," Kouga press the red button on his cell phone and ended the call. "I gotta go, Kagome, My mother is waiting for me at home. Hey smelly dog, take care of kagome for me!" Kouga gave Inuyasha a wink and exited the room.

Kagome looked at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha?"

"..." Inuyasha was speechless.

Kagome's heart started to beat harder against her chest. "Inuyasha, are you mad at me or something?" she asked. But still Inuyasha kept silent. "Inuyasha talk!" Kagome demanded loudly, which hurt her throat and made her cough hardly. Inuyasha took the glass of water which was on the table and offered it to Kagome. Kagome took it and quickly gulped it down. "Thanks,"

"So I guess Hakudoshi is a really great guy..." said Inuyasha with a half smile. Kagome's eyes widen. "Inuyasha...I..."

"It's okay, I understand," said Inuyasha without even looking at Kagome. Kagome slowly got out of bed and walked to Inuyasha with her weak legs. "No Inuyasha, you don't understand!" protested Kagome. The thought of Inuyasha watching Hakudoshi and her together made her feel like crying, she knows how it feels by being betrayed. She was betrayed many times when she was younger, so many times she thinks that maybe true love never existed.

"That Hakudoshi guy and I didn't do anything!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha brush his hair aside and snorted. "I was there Kagome, I saw you two kissing," said Inuyasha flatly. Kagome sat on the floor and gasped. "He kissed me!"

"And you kissed him back, willingly," Inuyasha finished his sentence. Kagome start crying "I wasted my first kiss on a jerk!"

"And what is that suppose to mean?" asked Inuyasha. Kagome looked down at the floor. "I drank the wine Hakudoshi offered to me when I knew I'll go drunk...I was drunk when Hakudoshi kissed me. I didn't know anything! When I opened my eyes I was already home and having a high fever," said Kagome.

"So you mean you didn't actually like him?" asked Inuyasha. Kagome gave him a look which says "Duh! Are you stupid or something!"

Inuyasha snorted and looked away. "Keh, why should I care anyways? You are just a maid," said Inuyasha but Kagome could see a slight smirk at the side of his face. "Than why did you even care of the kiss?" asked Kagome. "I didn't want a stupid bastard like him to marry my maid," said Inuyasha with a straight face. "Yeah right...you are such a lousy liar, Inuyasha." kagome said as she tried to stand up. She was starting to light up, knowing that everything is going to be back as usual, or is it? "You are so weak, stupid girl!" Inuyasha complain as he helped Kagome up, but Inuyasha lost his balance and both of them fall onto the floor. Both of them were lying on the floor, Inuyasha was on top of Kagome. Both of them looked as each other and blushed.

"The tea is ready," said Mrs. Higurashi as she open the door and came into her daughter's room. "Oh dear, did I disturb both oh you?" giggled Mrs. Higurashi as she look at the lovebirds on the floor. Inuyasha and Kagome quickly got off each other and stood up. "I'll help with the tea," Kagome volunteered as she quickly exited the room. "I'll help too," Inuyasha quickly followed kagome out, leaving Mrs. Higurashi alone. "Such a cute couple," giggled Mrs. Higurashi as she too exited the room.

"I guess Inuyasha and Kagome had got back together," said a young man with white hair who was hiding behind a tree, spying at Inuyasha and Kagome who was helping a lady with tea behind the shrine house. "But I won't give up, Ms. Kagome. You will leave Inuyasha..." said the young man as he crept away.
