A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update. Thanks to everyone who reviewed! Also, it's been brought to my attention that strep throat is a bacteria, not a virus as I said earlier, so sorry for the mix up.

Kagome opened her bedroom door and led the Taiyoukai into it. She went over to her bed and pulled down the green comforter to make room for Rin. Sesshomaru strode over and lowered the sleeping child down onto the matress and proceeded to cover her up. Once he was done with his task, he sat down on the ground with his back up against the wall, so he could watch over his ill charge. Jaken watched the whole scene from the doorway. Was his imagination playing tricks on him, or had the toad youkai witnessed his master, Lord Sesshomaru, tucking in a little girl, and a human girl no less. He blinked a few times before shrugging it off. Kagome bent over to check Rin's temperature. The fever was still as strong as ever, and now Rin had started shivering to top it off.

"I'll go get a another blanket" the miko said, straightening up once again, "Oh, and I should probably get a bucket or something in case Rin gets sick. I'll be right back" Kagome walked out the door and headed for the livingroom, knowing that there were extra blankets piled up in one corner of the room. Once she had chosen a nice and fluffy midnight blue one, she spotted her mother in the kitchen.

"Mom, do you know where I could find a bucket?" Kagome asked, entering the room with the blanket under her arm.

"There should be one under the cupboard under the sink, dear" she responded, looking up from her task of wiping off the kitchen table, and smiling at her daugther.

"Thanks, and would you mind calling the doctor's office now, before they close?"

"No I don't mind. Actually, I'll do that right now" Kagome's mother went over to the telephone and dialed the family doctor's number. The receptionist answered. After a few minutes of talking, Mrs. H hung up the phone and turned towards her daughter.

"Kagome, the appointment is tomorrow morning at 10:30. That's the earliest one I could get, everything else was already booked"

'Great' Kagome thought flatly, 'I guess I'm not going to school tomorrow after all'

"Who's going to the doctor?" Kagome grandfather asked, coming in from outside.

"One of Kagome's friends is sick" Mrs. Higurashi informed.

Jaken suddenly ran into the kitchen, panting

"Rin is about to blow!"

Kagome's eyes bugged out momentarily before she immediatley pulled out the bucket and raced upstairs. Halfway up, she distinctly heard her grandfather yelling about youkai followed by several squawks from a certain toad demon a second later. Not bothering to check on Jaken, Kagome burst through the doorway into her room to find Rin sitting up and holding her stomach while rocking back and forth slightly. Sesshomaru was kneeling on the ground right next to the bed, his eyes shining with concern as he watched his charge worriedly. Kagome dove towards them and got the bucket in front of Rin just in time. Had she been half of a second later, and she would've needed needed a new bedspread.

After Rin was finished, Kagome took the bucket away to get a new one. She came back not twenty seconds later. While she was gone, Rin had layed down again. Kagome saw this and pulled her back up and led her to the bathroom in the hallway.

"Let's get you cleaned up, shall we?"

Rin nodded and the miko led her in and had her sit on a stool she brought from the corner of the room and set in front of the bathroom sink. Kagome then walked over to the closet to find a new toothbrush for the little girl. She found a blue one, a red one, and a yellow one. She held them up for Rin to pick one.

"What are those, Kagome-chan?"

"These are toothbrushes, Rin. Which color would you like?"

"Um... Rin wants the red one!" she declared with much enthusiasm, pointing to the chosen toothbrush. Kagome returned the other two back to the closet, and opened the plastic covering the red one as Sesshomaru entered the bathroom and leaned on the door. Rin took the toothbrush and gave Kagome a confused look. She watched as the miko opened the cabnit above the sink and pulled out a tube. Kagome opened the tube and put some toothpaste onto Rin's brush and her own purple one.

"This is how you brush your teeth, Rin" she said before demonstrating. Rin studied and then copied Kagome's example. Then, Rin noticed Sesshomaru in the doorway. She gave him what would have been a toothy grin, had not her mouth been full of toothpaste foam which was now slowly making its way down her chin. The Taiyoukai smirked at her antics which gained a giggle from his charge. After they were done, instead of taking Rin back to the bedroom, Kagome led her downstairs, and had her lay on the couch. The miko figured that this way, she could get to the kitchen quicker if it was needed again. Also, Rin could watch television now, which Kagome was sure that she would enjoy. Sesshomaru followed them and sat down on the cushion not covered by Rin's feet once she was settled in. Jaken stumbled in the room from the kitchen all swirly-eyed, with a huge lump on his head, and covered in sutras. The Taiyoukai gave him a flat look while the girls laughed behind their hands. Kagome's grandfather came out behing the toad youkai and eyed the occupants of the room. Spotting Sesshomaru, he ran back into the kitchen to retreive more of his handy-dandy-never-fails-ever(except all the time) sutras. Kagome was right beside him in an instant and confiscated them. All he could do now was yell his head off, which he did.

"DEMON! BE GONE! DE---!"

Kagome slapped her hand over his mouth and forcefully led him back into the kitchen.

"Do not" she said when they were safely in the next room, "I repeat DO NOT even ATTEMPT to exercise Sesshomaru, or he'll have your head! LITERALLY!" she practically screamed at him, removing her hand.

"Fine" he retorted dejectedly, but then he smirked, "but it'll cost you!"

Kagome sighed, "What is it?"

"You have to listen to five of my stories!" he said triumphantly.

Kagome sweatdropped, "Deal, Gramps"

It was a small price to pay for her grandfather's life, after all. The miko went back into the livingroom, sat down on the ground and leaned back against the arm of the couch Rin was on. She grabbed the remote control off of the coffee table and turned on the television . Rin was is awe of the contraption that had magically come to life right before her eyes. Sesshomaru stared at it, still deciding whether it was dangerous or not. Jaken, though, jumped up and charged at it full force and was about to launch his attack, when he was intervened by a, "Jaken, stop" order from the Inu youkai. Sesshomaru had decided that the thing musn't be harmful, seeing as the miko in his presense did not react to it in a way that would suggest it was, instead she just stared at it with a bored expression on her face. The toad froze mid-step, turn around, and retreated to a postion against a nearby wall.

"What is that, Kagome-chan?"

"This is a television. You pretty much use it to watch stories, instead of reading them, like one normally would. Depending on what channel you're on, you can watch 'stories', or television shows of all different kinds. They are usually only viewed parts at a time, instead of watching it all at once" Kagome explained, "You can also watch the news from all around the globe, and there are a lot of advertisements shown on here too"

Rin nodded, her and the two youkai soaking in the new information, "And what's that in your hand?"
"This? This controls the channel being watched, how loud the TV is, and turns the television on and off, along with some other things" the miko answered, holding up the remote and demonstrating each example. She flipped through the channels a few times.

"There's nothing on!" she declared, frustrated.

Kagome set the remote on the table and ventured over to the movie rack. She skimmed her fingers over the titles of the multiple movies there, before selecting Harry Potter and the Sorcer's Stone, and pulling it off the shelf.

"Let's watch this movie!" she said excitedly.

"And that would be?" questioned Sesshomaru, actually voicing his ponderings aloud for once.

She looked at him, "It's a whole novel compressed down into a couple hours" she said bluntly, as if the Taiyoukai should have known beforehand. She set it down on the television, and went into the kitchen.

"What do you guys want to drink?" she called over her shoulder. When she didn't hear any answers, she stuck her head back into the livingroom.

"Well?"

"Well what?" snapped Jaken.

"What do you want to drink?"

"What do you have?" questioned Rin.

"Um, let me check" Kagome said, going to the refrigerator.

"We have water, applejuice, Sprite, and Pepsi!" she shouted into the livingroom.

"What's Sprite and Pepsi?" Rin asked.

"Sprite's lemon-lime flavored and Pepsi's more sweet tasting.

"Pepsi!" Rin said at once.

"What about you, Sesshomaru?"

"Sama" he said curtly.

"Fine, what do you want Sesshomaru-sama?"

"This Sesshomaru doesn't require anything" he stated emotionlessly.

"You will after eating popcorn!" she stated, matter-of-factly.

"This Sesshomaru will not eat human food"

"It's good!" persuaded Kagome.

"Yeah, Sesshomaru-sama! Please have some pa-corn!" Rin pleaded, mispronouncing the food's name.

Sesshomaru sighed, the things he did for Rin.

"Fine" he answered.

"And to drink?" Kagome asked.

"Please have some Pepsi with me, Sesshomaru-sama!" suggested Rin.

"Pespi" he called out, mentally sighing.

"Jaken, what about you?"

"I don't want any-" he stopped, seeing the glare that Sesshomaru was giving him that clearly stated, "If I have to drink this junk, so do you...or else"

Gulping, Jaken quickly said, "I'll have Pepsi as well"

"Ok then!" Kagome said. A minute later, she brought in the drinks before returning to the kitchen to make the popcorn. Sesshomaru heard a series of beeps followed by a low buzzing sound, some popping noises, followed by a set of louder beeps a few minutes later. Kagome pulled the bag out of the microwave, and dumped the contents in a large bowl. She brought it into the livingroom and set it on the table. The miko popped in the DVD, and went back to sit in her previous spot. She picked up the remote and pressed play once the menu came up. Then she leaned back to watch the movie with the others.
