A/N: Thank you so much for the reviews. I am very happy to see that it has been a hit. Well, I will be doing some other fanfics, so my updates might be a little slower than usual.
Chapter 5 – Worries.
Kagome lied down on the top branches of a tree, while she watched Inuyasha do her daily chores in the feudal era. She wanted to know how to change back into her normal self so badly.
"Come down here right now." Inuyasha yelled at Kagome, as she actually listened to him.
"How do you manage to do all of this everyday? I cannot take it anymore…"
Kagome smiled and poked his forehead.
"You sit down everyday and do nothing but sleep. I think this is a good revenge."
Inuyasha gave her a pleading look.
"Can you please help me?"
Kagome looked at Inuyasha with a smile.
"Tell me why should I even have the mere thought of helping you?"
Inuyasha grunted and looked at her.
"I'm begging you to help me out."
Kagome turned her head to see Inuyasha's face.
"Fine, I'll help you for a bit."
Inuyasha smiled and gave her a basket.
"We need to pick up some medical herbs for Kaede."
Kagome picked up her basket and looked over to see Inuyasha.
"Are you okay?"
Kagome placed her finger over her lips, looking in one direction.
"I smell something."
Inuyasha backed over to her, asking what it smelled like.
"I don't really know. This is actually really new to me."
"Can you describe it?"
Kagome threw Inuyasha this dirty look and sniffed the air once again.
"Whatever it is, it's near."
Inuyasha poked Kagome's shoulder, pointing behind her.
"Not near, but here." A cold voice could be heard now.
Kagome twisted her head to see Sesshomaru standing majestically behind her.
"What is it that you want, brother?" Kagome threw at him quickly, placing her hand on the hilt of the Tetsaiga.
"You smell differently,Inuyasha. What has happened?"
Crap, he can smell me that well?
"Inuyasha." Inuyasha was speaking to Kagome now, waiting to have some kind of reaction.
"What?"
Rin was laying on Sesshomaru's arm and chest as he brought her closer to Inuyasha.
"Human, I need you to
help me take care of her."
Inuyasha looked at Kagome for help.
"Listen, Sesshomaru…" Kagome started," I can take care of her."
"I see. The human girl can't? She is from the future, is she not?"
His voice sent chills down Inuyasha's back.
Why am I afraid to see him find out…
"We need to talk, Sesshomaru." Inuyasha finally said.
"I want you to take care of her…"
He laid her on the ground where Kagome rushed to see the little Rin.
"Her temperature is way too high…"
Sesshomaru peeled Kagome away from Rin, holding her in his lap once again.
"Touch her again, Inuyasha and die."
Kagome didn't know what to say. She stood away from Rin now, instructing Inuyasha what to do.
"I have some children's tempra in the bag. Give her 2 cc of it."
Inuyasha fumbled with the bottle as he tried to red the numbers indicated on the plastic container.
Sesshomaru looked at whom he thought was Kagome and smelled no fear. He turned to Inuyasha's body where the aura of fear came from.
Inuyasha placed the tempra in the ebony haired girl's mouth as she swallowed.
"I think that will do it." Inuyasha said as his brother stood up tall near him.
"Why is it that you do not fear me, Kagome?"
Inuyasha backed away from him, as Kagome remained still.
"I see. You're hiding something from me. I understand."
He looked over to see Kagome's neck was clean.
"Nothing I should be worried about then."
With that, he picked up Rin again and walked away.
Kagome took a deep breath and looked at Inuyasha.
"What was that about?"
Inuyasha didn't say anything and rubbed his neck.
"Something you do not know of yet. You do not need to worry about it."
Kagome shook her head, and asked him to tell her.
"I don't feel like it, okay?"
"I didn't mean to pry like that…"
Inuyasha smiled and looked over to see Miroku awaiting them.
"Hey, you got it done! Well, what a surprise! Inuyasha helped out too!"
Kagome grinned as a fang showed at the same time.
"Well, I saw Kagome struggling with it, so I wanted to help out. What, can't I be nice once in a while?"
Sango smirked.
"Hey, Inuyasha, I would like to talk to you for a minute."
Kagome gulped and followed Sango.
"Inuyasha… Do you…"
Sango looked a little sadden by the lost of her words.
"Do I what?"
She shook her head.
"I am sorry for my misbehavior and spying on you earlier. I wanted to know…How everything went at the festival."
"Why don't you go talk to Kagome about it, then? If she wants to talk about it, she will tell you."
Sango looked away.
"Has something changed Inuyasha?"
"Sango, why do you say such an absurd idea like that?"
Sango shrugged.
"He's just…nicer than what I remember. It's like being with you changed him…"
Inuyasha shrugged.
"Hey, I'm just that good."
Sango felt her forehead.
"Hey…. You're acting more like Inuyasha. Kagome, what exactly is happening?"
"Don't be ridiculous, Sango."
Sango sighed and left.
"Fine, don't tell your best friend."
Inuyasha walked to see Kagome.
"We need to tell them sooner or later. Everyone knows something is up."
"Can't we make up some excuse?"
Inuyasha tilted his
head.
"Any bright ideas that you can come up with?"
Kagome sneered at him and grunted.
"Find a way yourself, you idiot."
"Sit! Sit, Sit!"
Kagome fell to the ground as Inuyasha walked off upset.
"Be that way!"
Kagome got up and looked at her hands.
"The more I think about it… I am acting more like him…"
Kagome stretched out on the grass, cleaning up the dirt on her face.
Stupid nose, I smell everything around… How does he live with a nose so accurate?
I mean, I can smell anything from here… Sango's scent, Shippo…Miroku… maybe not a good idea to smell Miroku…
"Inuyasha? What are you doing here?"
Miroku poked his side as Kagome stood up quickly.
"Would you stop doing that! What the hell is the matter with you?"
Miroku placed his hands in front of him.
"No harm done, right? I saw Kagome walked off upset…"
"It has nothing to do with you,okay?"
Miroku gave her a sad look.
"You do know a girl's feelings right? She's delicate… You need to have some sense of delicacy when you talk to a female. You understand that,right?"
Delicacy? I know what he is talking about… Inuyasha hurt my feelings all the time and I swallowed it… Maybe I should change…Just a little.
