Sick
Morning rose over the small village where the gang except Kagome were resting in Kaede's house peacefully, the young Shikigami Master was sleeping in the corner by Sango and Kirara in her sleeping bag as the sun shone its ray of light through the window lighting the room bright. She slowly opened her eyes to see everyone else still asleep while she sat up from the ground and felt terribly unwell in her head, nose, and throat. 'What's wrong with me? I've never feel this bad, not even yesterday.' She thought to herself drowsily while she pulled out her purple mirror compactor out from her backpack. She flipped it open to see that her eyes were watering horribly, her nose was totally red and stuffed, and her throat felt lumpy inside.
"Oh, no, I'm sick." She groaned seeing her sick, ill self in the mirror. Her throat was really hot like it was on fire while her head felt like an invisible hammer was pounding it. She let out a small cough trying not to wake anyone up, but it did wake someone up: Sango. "Kaname, are you alright? Are you sick?" the demonslayer asked concerned crawling over to her friend's side. "It's nothing. I'm sorry to wake you up, Sango." She apologized shyly feeling a little embarrassed. "It's okay. Now to check on you." She said laying a hand on her hot forehead while Kaname tensed under the older girl's touch. Sango pulled away her hand slowly and spoke, "You're feeling way hot, Kaname. I think you're sick."
"What's going on here?" Miroku, who woke up from his happy dreaming, stood up and walked over towards them curious. Sango turned to the perverted monk and told him, "Kaname is sick with a cold. I think we should get her back to Kagome so she can be taken care of." "What?" "She's right, we can't continue our search for the shards if one of us is sick. Besides, we can't continue anyway, because Kagome isn't with us." Miroku explained the reasons convincing me to go. "Okay. Maybe, while I'm up there, I can help Kagome get over her problem and we can come back ready to venture once again." "Great idea. Now, you should go before Inuyasha wakes up and stops you." Miroku replied gently pushing her out silently making sure the half-demon doesn't hear him.
She got outside and ran out through the village heading towards the Bone-Eater's Well. She reached the outskirts of the village to see the old Bone-Eater's Well sitting still on the ground. "There it is, time to go." She said looking down the old well to see darkness lying inside. She lifted her legs over the wooden ledge and hopped inside falling down afraid to fall on the ground like that time before. She fell into the never-ending darkness of the well before she crawled out of the well seeing she was inside the shrine again. "Kaname?" she heard Kagome's voice question disbelieved. She lifted her head up to see Kagome standing at the entrance in a blue long sundress looking at her confused.
"Kagome?" she cocked her head to the side. "Kaname! It is you! You look terrible! Are you sick?" she ran up to her helping her out of the well. "Well, yes, I am. The others thought I should go back here and get well again." She told her the whole explanation to her. "I see. Well, you should stay in my room! Come, let's go up." She exclaimed happy to have some company while she dragged the sick Kaname out of the shrine and up to her house. They were in her room with Kagome rinsing out a white towel in the bathroom sink while Kaname was under the covers red as an apple stuffed up to the top of her head. She came out from the bathroom and walked up to the bed before she placed the wet towel on her steaming forehead cooling it down.
"There. Now, after the day is done, you should better than ever." She smiled happily while Kaname shuffled underneath the covers comfortably. "Kagome, um…are you coming back to the Feudal Era again?" she asked feeling a little uncomfortable about the situation. Kagome was quiet and looked a little down as she answered uneasily, "…I don't know." Kaname looked up at the ceiling while Kagome was busy organizing her desk speechless after that awkward conversation.
In the meantime down in the Feudal Era outside of Kaede's Village, Rin was skipping around playing with some yellow butterflies giggling along until she reached the gate of the small friendly village and saw the sign that read, "Kaede's Village". "This is where Big Sister is. Maybe, she will play with me today." She said still looking up at the sign with a smile. She ran inside the village eager to see her Big Sister again and saw the old house up ahead. She reached Kaede's house and saw Shippo playfully spinning his top in front of the house watching it spin round and round. "Hi, Shippo!" she greeted merrily seeing her kitsune friend.
He stopped watching the spinning top and glanced over to the right to see Rin coming towards him. "Oh, hey, Rin!" he greeted back glad to see her again. She halted before him while he smiled at her and inquired confused, "So, what are you doing here? Aren't you with Sesshomaru?" "Yes, but I wondered away from camp and found the village along the way, I thought that I would play with Big Sister." She answered too cutely. "I'm sorry, Rin, but Kaname isn't here today. She isn't feeling well and she went with Kagome back to her own time." He replied feeling a little guilty at seeing a sad expression on her face. "Oh, I see. Thanks for telling me, Shippo. Bye." She spoke unhappily while she turned around slowly and walked away from the house with Shippo watching concerned.
She drifted away from the little village and roamed through the thick forest avoiding any seeking mean demons along the way. She got back to camp where Sesshomaru was standing near the campfire, Jaken was sitting next to Ah-Un, and the two-headed dragon was eating grass from the meadow. "I'm back." She called out cheerless to the others. They all glanced at the miserable Rin while Sesshomaru looked questioningly at her strange behavior. "You, girl! Why are you back so soon? You should have been gone by now!" Jaken yelled angrily at the gloomy Rin. Sesshomaru kicked Jaken and sent him flying across the fields while he walked over and sat down beside her.
"What's wrong, Rin?" he questioned the sad girl curiously. She let out a small sigh before she answered, "I wandered through the forest and found the same village that where Big Sister lives at. I went inside the village and ran to the house to find out that she's back home ill." Sesshomaru's eyes widened a little now knowing that she's back in her own time and sick as well. "I see. Maybe, you can make her something that would make feel better." He suggested wisely to the little girl. Her eyes grew large and breathed out happily, "You're right! I'm going to make Big Sister a get well present! Thank you, Lord Sesshomaru!" She hopped up and ran off into the flower field joyfully trying to make a perfect present for her Big Sister. Sesshomaru watched her run off into the flower field while he stood up again and looked up at the blue-sky thinking, 'So, Kaname is sick…and back in her own time…' When he thought of that, he felt a sharp tinge in his heart that caused him to look down in confusion. "What is this? This pain in my heart?" he questioned himself aloud making Ah-Un look at him puzzled.
Back in the present, Kaname was lying on Kagome's bed outside of the bedspread while Kagome was downstairs cooking lunch with her mother. She was twisting and turning in her sleep while Kagome came in carrying two hot delicious bento boxes her mom made for them. "Hey, Kaname, lunch is here!" she called happily waking the sleepy Shikigami Master up. Kaname slowly sat up uncovering the cover from her while she blinked tiredly to see Kagome standing next to her. "Here you go. Mom's famous bento box!" she placed the bento box on her lap with the chopsticks in it while she sat on a chair nearby and said a prayer before she began to eat.
The sick girl was eating slowly peeking at the unusual cheerful Kagome picking up her food and dropped it in her mouth happy as a butterfly. The young priestess finished her box leaving it in her lap empty while Kaname wasn't even almost finished with hers. She threw away her bare box in the trashcan while Kaname watched her from the bed observing her. Kagome spun around and paused suddenly seeing Kaname's face flush more as she walked up and looked in the face very close. "Um, Kagome, what are you doing?" she asked feeling very uncomfortable about the close distance between them. Kagome observed her more until she stood up and said, "You look even more sick. I'll go to the pharmacy and find some medicine for your cold."
Kagome went to her closet and grabbed her small yellow jacket out while Kaname spoke, "Kagome, you don't have to get me anything if you don't want to." She twirled around and replied, "Of course I do! I love to help out my friends whether in trouble or not! Besides, you're sick and you need medicine to help you feel better." She ran over to the door and slightly opened while she glanced to her and said smiling mischievously, "Besides, Sesshomaru would miss his girlfriend if he finds out she's sick in bed." She blushed really red at the little comment while Kagome smiled and waltzed out of the room and the house.
The ill Shikigami Master was sitting up in bed until she lay back on the bed so tired and lost at energy looking up at the ceiling. She heard three small knocks knocking on the window while she sat up and saw Inuyasha perched on the windowsill. "Inuyasha!" she exclaimed surprised to see him here. "Yeah, who else would it be?" he replied opening the window and jumping in from the outside. "How did you get here anyway?" she asked curious to know. "I got here from the Bone-Eater's Well, of course." He answered pointing to the shrine with the well enshrined. "Really? So, what are you doing here? Feeling a little guilty about what you said?" she smiled at him playfully. "No! I just want to visit you, not Kagome." He refused turning his head to the side stubbornly.
She sighed a little at his huge ego and continued to talk to him, "Are you sure, Inuyasha? Why couldn't you make up with her and forget about it?" He slowly moved his head to her and responded, "She wouldn't believe me and be mad again like usual." He turned away and moved over to the desk while Kaname watched sadly at her half-demon friend about his troubles. He stopped looking at the desk and walked over sitting on the end of the bed. "So, how do you feel?" he broke the depressing silence between them. "I feel a little better now since you've came." She answered putting her hand up to her forehead. He looked at her and asked willing to help her out, "Do you want me to get some horsemeat for you? I can go catch one if you want." She giggled a little and waved it off saying, "No thanks, but thanks for helping me." After that, they laughed a little and continued to talk to each other finding more about each other.
On the streets, Kagome was walking down the busy street with a bag of medicine from the pharmacy she just bought from while she was preoccupied with some serious thinking. 'I feel a little guilty, but sad. Maybe I'm overreacting about the situation more than I realize. But still, would I face him again after our little dispute?' she thought to herself quietly avoiding from bumping into people. She reached the end of the sidewalk waiting for the light to change as she looked around and saw a short white-haired boy giving a rose to a shoulder-length black-haired girl. The girl received beaming at him before she hugged him feeling with joy before they started to kiss passionately and lovingly.
Kagome felt a little miserable until the light changed green and she began to stroll across the street. She kept on seeing couples hugging, kissing, and being happy while she, on the other hand, was feeling even gloomier than ever. 'Why am I feeling like this? Is it because I miss Inuyasha or is it natural? I don't know…' She took her pace trying to go home as quick as possible trying to erase the emotional pain from seeing the couples all being lovey-dovey. When she reached the sidewalk that led to her house, she ascended the stairs and found her window opened wide allowing air coming into her bedroom. 'Why is my window open? Did Kaname open it to let some air in or did…' Without another thought, she rushed inside scaring her mom, brother, and grandfather all at once and ran upstairs.
She charged up the steps and ran through the hallway until she found her door and slammed it open to see Kaname jumped in her bed frightened while Inuyasha spun towards the doorway surprised to see Kagome again. They both stared at each other silently while Kaname watched intrigued by this little scene. "Inuyasha, what are you doing here?" she asked feeling a little angry at the half-demon. He stood up from the bed and looked away scoffing rudely, "I was just visiting Kaname. There's nothing to get mad at." Her eyes were lit in furious flames while she yelled at him enraged, "Nothing to get mad at! You told me that our relationship doesn't matter anymore and now, you're telling me there's nothing to get mad at!"
They both winced at her high-pitched yells as Inuyasha argued back trying to protect his pride, "Oh yeah!" Kaname sighed sadly at the two bickering at each other never going to realize that they truly care about each other. She carefully got out of bed without getting noticed by the two arguing friends and began to intervene between them, "Please don't-!" She tripped over the sleeping Buyo and fell to the floor making a huge thud that sounded through the whole room. They halted in their hot argument and looked down to see the fallen Kaname lying on the floor rolling around in pain. "Kaname!" they simultaneously cried out concerned rushing over to her aid. They helped her stood up while Kaname got back up on her feet again and Buyo walked away from the room annoyed from being woken up suddenly. "What were you doing, you idiot! You could have gotten hurt!" Inuyasha yelled worriedly at the girl. "Calm down, Inuyasha! You're scaring her!" she scolded him making him scoff off again.
She regained her balance again and stood up on her own two feet while they held her in place. "I'm sorry you two." She apologized quickly making them puzzled until she pushed them on the bed and wrapped the covers around them closing them tightly. She tied the bedspread together while they both protested at this fast act. "Kaname, what are you doing? Let me out!" Inuyasha ordered her trying to get out of the cover's hold. Kaname stood back and looked at her work before she replied, "Not until you two kiss and make up." "I'd never make up with him." Kagome answered turning her head uncaringly at the half-demon she was tied together with. "Neither will I." he said turning his head away from her sight.
"Of course you will. You always will. But you can't have a fight disrupt your relationship with each other. Besides, you two have some great times and you can't let something like this ruin it for you." She spoke watching them not talk to each other. That statement probably went through to their heads because they slowly turned their heads again and looked at each other. Kagome bended her head down while Inuyasha watched her having a tinkle in his eyes again. Kaname had a feeling that someone better is about to happen and she wouldn't want to disturb it. So, she walked out of the room leaving them two alone as she closed the door behind her before she descended downstairs waiting for the results.
Moments later, she came up from the stairwell and sneaked up to the door before she leaned in and listened quietly through the door. Unfortunately, she didn't hear anything through the wooden door until she decided to go through and see what they're doing. She slowly opened the door hearing it creak a little as she peeked around and saw the cutest thing she ever saw. There in the corner of the room was the two bundled up couple lying on the wall snuggling up to each other adoringly sleeping in each other's arms. Kagome was napping on Inuyasha's chest smiling happily while he laid against the wall letting her sleep on him. Kaname squealed silently and giggled a little at the cute scene until she backed out of the room and into the hallway again leaving the lovebirds alone peacefully.
When she was standing in the hallway closing the door, she heard a boy asked curiously that made her jump a bit, "What are you doing, Kaname?" She twirled around to see Sota standing before her holding a glass of water in his hand looking up at her with a curious expression. "Oh, Sota, you scared me. I was just leaving Kagome alone to her privacy alone." She answered blocking the entryway to Kagome's room. His eyebrow shot up confused while he asked, "Really? I thought I heard Inuyasha's voice awhile ago." She was sweating nervously while she sighed and decided to answer him truthfully, "Yes, you did. They both had a fight and now, they've made up and want some time to themselves alone with each other." He nodded understandingly, "Oh, I see. Where are you going to sleep then?"
She shrugged both her shoulders and replied shortly, "I don't know." He thought to himself for a while until he grabbed her hand and quickly pulled her away while she asked befuddled, "What are you doing, Sota?" He glanced over his shoulder while he dragged her away, "I'm going to lead you to a spare bedroom we have in the house. We haven't use it for a while and that made them forget all about it, but luckily, I knew where it was." He explained still showing her the way through the dark hallway. "A spare bedroom? Really?" she questioned interested. He nodded to her and led her to another room where she found a peaceful looking room with a nice bed and good atmosphere.
She stepped inside and looked around amazed at the spare big bedroom with Souta watching her amused. "Wow, this is really big and comfortable." She commented touching the bedspread lightly testing it out. "Uh-huh. If you don't mind, I'm going to bed, I'm way too tired to do anything else now." He waved goodbye and went off heading towards his room. She waved back before she jumped on the bed and lay back relaxing her aching muscles off. She rolled on her side of her stomach while the lights shut off blanketing the room into darkness. While she looked across the room thinking about the events today, she slowly succumbed into sleepiness and before she knew it, she drifted into her own slumberland.
