Chapter 13:

Kagome sat in her bed the next morning, and had not been able to get any sleep at all during the night, and so didn't look too well. Misty noticed this and went over to Kagome.

"Hey, you alright Kagome?" Misty asked with a concerned look on her face as she sat on the bed next to Kagome. "You're not looking too well." She felt Kagome foreehead. "You feel a little warm. I should go get Mrs. Ketchum."

Kagome said nothing, but let out a slight moan while she fell back in bed.

"I'll be right back Kagome." Misty said before she got up and headed downstairs.

"Thanks Misty." Kagome thanked Misty before she left the room.

"Don't worry abou it." Misty said, then left to go get Mrs. Higurashi.

"Hey Misty!" Inuyasha greeted Misty. "Where's Kagome. She didn't come down for breakfast."

"She's in bed with a slight fever. I'm gonna go get Mrs. Higurashi so she can help Kagome out." Misty said. then she started to walk off, but thought of something and stopped. "You can go in a see her if you want."

"Huh? I-I wasn't asking about that. I just was justumm...wondering w-where she was." Inuyasha said, looking quite embarrassed.

"Uh-huh. Yeah, arlight. Ibelieve ya. Just go make sure she's okay for me." Misty said with a wink.

"Uuuuhhhh..." Inuyasha siad with an embarrassed look on his face as he watched Misty go down the steps. He looked at the door that went to the room Kagome was staying in and slowly walked over to it and peeked inside. He saw Kagome laying down in her bed with Pooch at her side in a little doggy bed Kagome had gotten for him. He growled, jealous that Pooch could be in there whenever he wanted to be, not that Inuyasha would ever let that on to Kagome.

"Inuyasha? Is that you?" Kagome asked as she sat up with a sleepy look on her face. Then saw Inuysaha standing in the doorway, and her face immediately went red remembering what happened the night before. There was another awkward silence btween them. Neither liked it, but no one knew what to say, until Inuyasha finally broke the silence.

"Misty told me you were feeling sick." Inuyasha said, trying to relieve some of the tension.

"Yeah. I'm justa little woozy. I couldn't sleep too well last night." Kagome replied before another awkward silence came. Then Pooch let out a young and jumped up onto Kagome's lap, and Inuysaha let out a slight growl. "Hey Pooch." Kagome said as she scratched the Pokemon behind his ears. Then she noticed Inuyasha corss the room and sit down next to her. He felt her forehead, and she felt her cheeks burning up again.

"You do feel a little warm." Inuyasha said, then let his hand fall back to his side.

"I do? Misty said I did, but I didn't know for sure." Then Kagome tried to stand up, but Inuyasha set he back down.

"Stay in bed. You'll need to get better." Inuysaha said.

"Fine, at least give me my pack then so I can take something for my headache." Kagome groaned as she held her head and flopped back down into her pillows while Inuyasha stood up and grabbed Kagome's medicine kit out of her pack and gave it to her. Kagome opened the pack and took out some Tylenol and took three pills before putting the container back in the first aid kit and giving it back to Inuyasha and he put it away. "Thanks." She said with a smile.

"No problem." Inuyasha siad as he sat back down, then yet another awkward silence filled the room, until Kagome broke it.

"Hey Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah?"

"Why did you kiss me?" Kagome asked him, and Inuyasha looked at her with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Well, I umm... uhhh..." Inuyasha couldn't think of somehting to say. He couldn't just come out and tell her the real reason, could he? Think, damn you, think! Inuyasha thought. :It umm... it was an accident. Yeah, I uhh...lost my balance and tripped and I accidentally kissed you."

"Yeah right." Ashley said from in the doorway, a bottle of medicine in her hand and a spoon in the other. "You are the worst liar, you know that right?" Ashley asked as she sat between Kagome and Inuyasha, sorry to get between you guys, but I gotta check this girl out." Ashley said with a smile, then felt Kagome's face. "I'm just gonna give you some nasty gunk to help reduce thefever, then I'll be gone." She said as she poured some of the liquid medicine onto the spoon and gave it to Kagome, then gave her another spoon full, laughed a little at the disgusted face that Kagome made, then stood to leave. But before she left, she bent over to whisper something into Inuyasha's ear, then left.

Once she was gone, Kagome spoke again. "Peh! Bleh! Yuck! Man that stuff is gross. How can anyone take that and feel better?"

"Feh! Serves you right for getting sick in the first place." Inuyasha told her.

"What did you say?" Kagome yelled at him, and Pooched jumped up, ready to attack Inuyasha once given a command.

"You heard me." Inuyasha siad ith a smirk.

"Hmph! Fine! Be that way!" Kagome said as she stuck her nose in the air and crosed her arms. "Pooch! Tackle!" Kagome ordered her pokemon, and Pooch tackled Inuyasha, surprising the hanyouwith his strength, and knock Inuyasha out ofthe room.

"What the hell?" Inuyashsa yelled from the doorway. Pooch was still growling at him.

"Serves you right." Kagome said. "Now leave me alone so I can rest and get better." Kagome told him.

"Fine! I don't wanna be around you anyway!" Inuyasha yelled, then stomped off, and Pooch went back over and laid down in his doggy bed.

AN- Kagome has a cold. Oops. LOL. But what's more, Inuyasha and Kagome had another fight. What next? You'll just have to wait until I update. K? Plz R&R. Thanx! TTFN!
