Chapter 2: Dazed and Confused
By InuShemeeko

Kagome yawned as she rose out of bed the next morning. She eyes quickly fell on Inuyasha. Kagome then slowly crawled over to Inuyasha's side. Raising her right hand she removed the cloth that lay upon his forehead. She laid the rag in the bowl of water that lay near the sleeping hanyou.

'Oh, Inuyasha I hope you wake up soon. It's unlike you to at least not to be awake by now.'

Kagome flinched as she placed her right hand on his forehead. She then gasped,

'He's got a fever. Inuyasha.'

"Aye, child the fever came upon him earlier this morning. Ye should get some more rest."

Kagome smiled up at Kaede.

"I'm fine Kaede really."

"Nay, child surly three hours of sleep is not enough. For ye was awake all night watching over Inuyasha."

Kagome eyes slid down to her lap. Then she turned them up toward Inuyasha and kept them there.

"I just couldn't sleep last night, that's all. I just can't help but worry about him Kaede."

"Aye, Kagome we all are worried about Inuyasha. I am sure he will awake soon."

Kagome sighed, as she watched Inuyasha's sleeping form. She then lifted the wet cloth out of the bowl and squeezed the extra water from it before placing it on his forehead once more.

"I hope you're right Kaede."

'Oh Inuyasha, wake up soon please. The longer you stay asleep the more I worry that you never will.'

Sango and Shippou walked into Kaede's hut so after. Shippou cast two sad green eyes down at the sleeping Inuyasha. Sango frown at the worry she saw drawn across her friends face.

"Kagome still no change in Inuyasha's condition?"

Kagome looked up at her friend with two glazed over eyes.

"No, there hasn't been any change Sango."

Kagome could not hold back her tears back in front of her friends any longer. She knew the only reason she slept last night was because she had cried herself to sleep. Kagome soon found herself throwing herself into Sango's arms.

"Oh, Sango I'm so afraid. What if Inuyasha never wakes up?"

Sango smiled lightly as her stoked the back on Kagome's head.

"Kagome, Inuyasha cares to much about you not to come back to you."

Kagome nodded weakly at Sango. She then turned her attention back to her sleeping hanyou. Then not caring if Sango or Shippou saw her she placed a small kiss on Inuyasha's cheek.

"Please come back to us Inuyasha don't leave us. Please don't leave me."

*************************************************

Inuyasha blinked his eyes as he swam through the darkness that was surrounding him.

'Where am I? Where's Kagome, Shippou, Miroku and Sango?'

However, it didn't matter how far Inuyasha traveled he couldn't escape the darkness that seemed to follow him.

'Kagome be safe. Some how I will find you, I promise you.'

**********************************************************

Kagome gasped quickly as a small moan escaped from Inuyasha.

"Sango that's the first sound Inuyasha has in days."

Kaede smiled softly over at Kagome.

"Aye, Kagome that is truly a sign that Inuyasha will soon awake from the strange sleep he has been in."

Kagome continued her vigil at Inuyasha's side throughout the rest of the day and into the night. Miroku Sango and Kaede rose early in the morning. Miroku smiled down at a sleeping Kagome. The reason for his smile was because Kagome had her hand wrapped within Inuyasha's.

Kaede also smiled at the scene before them.

"Kagome, has been at Inuyasha side for the last four days. Ye two agree with me that Kagome truly cares for him with her whole heart and soul."

Both Miroku and Sango nodded their heads. Sango then spoke of the worries that were plaguing her mind.

"I just hopes this wakes Inuyasha up to Kagome's feelings for him."

Miroku and Kaede nodded in agreement.

"I couldn't agree more Sango."

Miroku then inched his right hand out to stoke Sango's backside. Sango's face twitched as she slowly turned to face Miroku.

"You PREVERT!"

Sango's right hand quickly found the side of Miroku face. A shocked expression was etched across Miroku's face as he stumbled backwards. He then brought a hand up to rub the red handprint that was now clear upon his face.

Kaede shook her head sadly.

"It would appear that some things shall never change."

She then made her way outside, Shippou followed close behind, followed by Sango and a still smiling Miroku.

***********************************************

Kagome slowly lifted her head up from her sleeping place beside of Inuyasha. She then yawned softly.

"I could have sworn I heard Sango yelling at Miroku."

She then looked around the inside of the hut. She and Inuyasha were the only two left inside.

"Hmm. I must have imaged it."

Kagome then walked over to the small fire to get the kettle of warm water that was hung over the fire. She then poured the water into a bowl; Kagome then quickly removed her shirt to wipe off her chest and arms.

"Well it's not really a real bath, but it will have to do. There's no way I'm leaving Inuyasha."

Kagome then carried the kettle over to where Inuyasha lay sleeping. Her right hand then moved to Inuyasha forehead, she then sighed.

"Well at the fever is gone now. Thank goodness."

She then removed Inuyasha fire rat haori and then slowly opened his creamed colored under shirt. Kagome then peeled back the bandage that covered Inuyasha's wound.

"Just what I was hoping for. It's finally healed its self."

Kagome squeezed out the cloth of extra water and ran the warm cloth down Inuyasha's chest.

'He puts up a tough guy act all the time, but he really is soft hearted.'

The sound of movement in front of her brought Kagome back to the present. Kagome's eyes widened in joy as she watched Inuyasha's eyes blink open. Tears flowed freely from her eyes as she laid her head upon Inuyasha's bare chest.

"Inuyasha, you're awake. Thank goodness, I thought I would never get to gaze upon your eyes again."

Inuyasha blinked a few times in confusion. He could smell the girl's salty tears upon his chest.

"Um..excuse me miss, um but why are you crying?"

Kagome sat up away from Inuyasha; the innocence of Inuyasha's question took her aback.

"Inu...yasha?"

Kagome gasped at the confusion in the hanyou's eyes as he looked around the room.

"Um...Who's Inuyasha? Is he your boyfriend?"

'Inuyasha, doesn't remember who I am. He doesn't even remember his own name.'

Kagome reached out slowly and took his hands within her own. She was glad when he didn't flinch or pull away from her.

"Well not exactly, you see Inuyasha is your name."

She was then startled by the laugh that spilled from within him.

"You're joking right? I mean what kind of name is Inuyasha?"

Kagome just continued to stare at him. The hanyou stopped laughing to gaze at Kagome again.

"Oh you where being serious uh?"

Kagome just nodded at him. The confused hanyou's golden eyes widened in surprise.

"Oh."

Inuyasha then looked back at her.

'Wow, she's really pretty. I'm guessing I'm supposed to know her since she knows me. Why can't I remember her name?'

Inuyasha then found himself blushing as he looked up at Kagome.

"Um....I'm kind of embarrassed to ask this, but what's your name?"

Kagome giggled at the blush that had creep up into Inuyasha's cheeks.

"Oh, I'm Kagome."
