DISCLAIMER: Inu-Yasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi-Sama... not me :tears come to eyes:

Inu-Yasha, Stay With Me!

Chapter 6

Rubbing her fingers against the surface of her arrow, Kagome wondered if she would ever find the answer to this whole mess. It had been a week since she had figured out what was wrong with Inu-Yasha but still nothing came to her. She sat on Kaede's porch and sighed, shifting her weight so she could lay on her back and watch the clouds go by.

"I've never seen Kagome this lost in thought." Shippo said looking at her while sitting on Miroku's shoulder.

"She's never had this much to think about." Sango said replying to Shippo and also looking out the door to Kagome's form.

"That's true." Miroku also agreed, turning the group back to helping Kaede clean up.

"I can't sit here right now," Kagome said standing up. "I think I might go take a walk." She said to herself while stretching her arms over her head into the air. She walked into the hut, finding the group and stood quietly until they noticed her.

"Kagome? You figure anything out?" Sango asked hopeful.

"No, I decided to take a walk. I was wondering if Shippo would like to come with me." She looked to the little kitsune who sat in the corner of the room.

"Yeah!!" Shippo exclaimed running over to Kagome.

"I'll be back later today. Let me know if anything happens with Inu-Yasha." Kagome led Shippo out leaving the others to their cleaning duties.

Over the past week, nothing happened that was of the utmost importance... By that meaning Inu-Yasha had yet to respond. Kagome hadn't been home for a while, but everytime she thought of going home she felt guilty about leaving Inu-Yasha. She wanted to be there in case he woke up.

"Kagome where are we going?" Shippo asked looking up at her innocently.

"I thought we could go get some fruit or something, just for a change."

"But I like the food from your time, Kagome!"

"I know, but I'm out of food." The girl said looking down at her shoes. "I haven't had time to go back to my world in a while." Shippo didn't say anything else and followed Kagome willingly. While following her, he saw a flower bush over at the side of the pathway they were walking on.

"Can we pick some flowers? Sango would like these!" He said bouncing over to the bush and picking some of the flowers.

"I guess it can't hurt." She kneeled by the bush and watched Shippo as he carefully picked each flower. Kagome picked a few but her gaze turned out to the forest beyond the path, seeing a familiar figure passing by.

"Kagome, I made you a crown out of flowers!" Shippo held up the woven circle but followed Kagome's gaze to the person who was walking by. "Isn't that Sesshomaru?"

"Yes.." Kagome walked through the bush and headed towards Sesshomaru with care. Rin turned around and pulled Jaken to stop too then her smile lit up.

"Hello Kagome!" She yelled happily and Sesshomaru stopped walking and turned around.

"Rin, stop fooling around!" Jaken squeaked. "Lord Sesshomaru does not care about all these weak humans." Sesshomaru turned to look at Kagome with cold eyes.

"You," He started. "You are the woman who travels with Inu-Yasha."

"Yes.." Kagome started.

"Where is he? I don't smell that miserable half breed around anywhere."

"He's sick..." Kagome said quietly. Sesshomaru cocked an eyebrow.

"Miserable half breed." Sesshomaru turned back around.

"Sesshomaru," Kagome said getting angry. "Inu-Yasha is dying. DY-ING! Now's not the time to be carrying out revenge about a stupid sword! Half human or not your blood brother is dying!!!!!!" Kagome screeched out in a hurt tone.

"How dare you speak to the great Lord Sesshomaru that way!! You should be ashame-"

"Jaken. That's enough." Sesshomaru said with a sharp tongue. Rin looked between Sesshomaru and Kagome to Sesshomaru again and looked like she wasn't sure how to react. "Let's go." He started walking away almost seeming to be embarrassed by his behavior. Jaken obeyed without a second thought. Rin however ran over to the trembling girl and reached into her small kimono and pulled out a small bag.

"Kagome, my mother gave me this a long time ago saying to use it in case of an emergency. It's medicine, take it for Inu-Yasha." She smiled and handed Kagome the small bag.

"Rin let's go, I said." Sesshomaru called after her.

"Right! Bye Kagome!" The girl happily ran after the demon lord and left Shippo to look at Kagome. The girl looked at the bag with a deep concentration.

"Maybe we should go back.." Shippo said noticing something troubling the young girl.

"Uh.. .yeah." Kagome seemed to lose her own mindset in whatever she was thinking of, seeing as she almost walked into a tree... Shippo had to take hold of Kagome's sock to shift her out of the way of all the trees and stones in the path. Her eyes remained focused on the small bag.

XxXxXxX

"She hasn't said a word since she got back." Miroku explained to the elderly priestess. They all observed the girl sitting next to Inu-Yasha with the bag Rin had given her sitting securely next to her. She brushed the hair from his eyes and kept her concentration on his face. She looked like she was trying to understand Inu-Yasha's dreamings. She then played with the subjugation beads that still surrounded his neck.

'These can't be helping anything...' She went to remove the beads. 'But does that mean that we aren't connected anymore?' She took her hand back to her chest, only to slap her hand to the floor and stand up.

"Everyone... I know that you're standing right outside the doorway ... come here for a second! FAST!"

"Did something happen with Inu-Yasha?" Sango ran in followed by the rest.

"No! It's some good news though."

"Did he wake up?" Shippo asked excited.

"No.. but you see-"

"Is he cured?" Miroku asked.

"No but-"

"Did he mumble in his sleep?" Kaede asked also.

"NO!" Kagome yelled getting angry.

"Then what is it!?!" They all asked her.

"Well... I'm not sure... But I think I know how to cure Inu-Yasha." She picked up the bag dangling it in front of hers and her friends' faces. She smiled as the rest of the group looked at her with a combination of hope and relief in their faces.
