The Stronger Miko

Last time on The Stronger Miko

Inuyasha looks at the back of the girls head. 'So she has known all this time and never told me. But why? Why wouldn't she want to tell me?' He takes a pause from his thoughts to smell his favorite scent that he is able to drown himself in; however he can't smell it.

--

'Why doesn't she smell right' sniff 'She's sick. Damn it Kagome. Why aren't you telling me anything?' Inuyasha jumps in front of Kagome. He looks at her and takes a step back in shock. Kagome's eyes are blank and he now notices Kagome's miko power emanating from her. Her face is completely flushed and when he goes close to her a barrier forms around her and he is thrown back. He skids to a stop on all fours. When he sees Kagome tears are rolling down from her blank eyes. 'Why is she crying?' He walks up to her slowly and takes out the Tetseiga; it turns to that red color to destroy barriers and slowly puts the tip of it on Kagome's shield. It starts to part. Just as he started to put more pressure her barrier grew stronger and more powerful; so strong and powerful that the Tetseiga is blown to the other side of the clearing. He jumps over to where the Tetseiga fell and returns in a single leap. Inuyasha looks at the young girl carefully and notices she is sweating.

'Shit she has a fever, and the way she is acting isn't helping'

"Kagome? Kagome if you hear me answer me"

"…"

"Kagome, I know you can hear me. Kagome please let me help you. You've helped me when I've been horrible to you; you've help when I was almost dragged into hell with Kikyo before finishing what I had to. Kagome please I want to help you. Please, let me help you like you've always helped me." Kagome's power disappears from view, though he could still feel its presence in the air as though waiting for him to try something to then go on the attack. As the last of Kagome's visible powers disappear, she pitches forward Inuyasha catches her easily, but upon contact he almost drops her.

'Kagome, why in the hell are you so hot? And since when? And how didn't I notice? Stupid ass, if only I would have paid attention to her more this wouldn't be so bad.' He touches her head. 'I need to find help. She's boiling. I'll take her to her time. She has better medical herbs in her time than here in mine.'

He begins to run to the Well. In his panicking state he runs faster then he ever has before. About half way to the well Kagome begins coughing really harshly and very hard. She moans and cuddles closer to Inuyasha, holding onto his haori, in return he hugs her closer. They reach the Well in record time. Inuyasha jumps into the Bone Eater's Well and when he jumps out he appears in the well house in Kagome's era. He takes a sniff, trying to find Kagome's family only to find their scent is old. Inuyasha runs and jumps up to Kagome's balcony and pries the doors open with his claws. He hurries inside and places the girl on the bed. He goes back to close the balcony doors. He touches Kagome's head and finds that she still has a very high fever. He grabs her as well as the blanket she is laying on and goes into the living room, where he puts her down on the sofa, head propped up by pillows. He sits by the girl and brushes a strand of hair off her pretty face.

'She needs something to eat. Hell I need something to eat as well.' He gets up, carefully tucking the sides of the blanket in so Kagome would be all snuggly warm, and heads to the kitchen to make some ramen. Once in the kitchen, he sniffs out the packets of ramen and finds an entire cabinet full to the edge with every flavor of ramen there is. He takes three from the cabinet, mentally reminding himself to thank whoever bought the ramen, and starts making the ramen the way Kagome taught him. Once the ramen is complete he separates the ramen by giving himself the most ramen in a bowl and puts Kagome's in another bowl and in the mircowave to stay warm until he would attempted to wake her. He begins to inhale his food, and in the middle of one of his slurps a high-pitched scream fills the house.

What is going on?

Why does Kagome begin to attack Inuyasha when he attempts to help her?

Who is screaming as though they are dying?
