It's Wednesday September 22 (day three of Kagome Higurashi hunting!)

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

'Kagome didn't come jogging today. Is she sick? Well, I'll find out later on today. I'm pretty sure Kagome Miko is Kagome Higurashi. She smells like strawberries and vanilla, she doodles in class when she's bored, she looks almost like Kagome Higurashi, Kagome Higurashi is in the same classes as me, other than gym of course, and she likes running and all the other things Kagome Higurashi likes. She still looks different though. If she is Kagome Higurashi, then she probably looks different because of her huge glasses, clothes and the way she puts her hair in a messy/loose bun or low ponytail,' Inuyasha thought.

Meanwhile at Kagome's house, she just woke up, having a bad headache.

'Probably got sick from yesterday at the amusement park,' she thought.

Realizing that it's 7:30, she quickly got dressed in some track pants and black t-shirt, put on her glasses and tied her hair in a ponytail and left. She hopped in her Honda and drove to school, still not feeling very well but not wanting to miss school. Then, she realized that it's chilling this morning and she forgot her sweatshirt.

When she got there, she couldn't find Sango or her other friends so she went inside the school by herself, stumbling near the last step because she felt a bit dizzy. Kagome put away her back pack and grabbed her math and gym stuff, though she probably won't do gym since she's not feeling too well. She walked fairly slowly this time because she had to maintain balance. She got to the classroom right before the tardy bell rang. Even Inuyasha was there before her. She quickly sat in the back of the room and Inuyasha moved to the desk 3 desks beside her since it was empty.

"Ok class, since we are very ahead of the lesson plan, we'll have a free period today. You can talk quietly, work on unfinished homework, stuff like that but it has to be fairly quiet," said the teacher.

The class cheered. Kagome, not knowing what to do, took out her sketch book and starting sketching. She didn't wanna read or work since she didn't want to concentrate too hard, her headache got a little worse.

Meanwhile, Inuyasha started staring at Kagome, since he was bored. He was Kagome take out her sketchbook.

"Achoo!"

Inuyasha realized Kagome sneezed.

"Achoo! Achoo!"

Inuyasha stood up quietly and walked over to Kagome. He removed his red sweatshirt and draped it around her shoulders and then pulled up a chair. Kagome turned around, seeing Inuyasha.

"Thanks for lending me your sweatshirt," she said.

"No problem, that's what friends are for," he replied with a small smile.

"You think of me as your friend?"

"Mmmhm, you're a very nice person and I can act like myself around you. I don't have to act like someone I'm not."

"Thanks Inuyasha that means a lot to me…Achoo...Sorry about that. I don't have a lot of friends. I only have Sango, Rin, Ayame, and Miroku, who's my cousin. Now I have you but are you sure you want to be friends with me? I mean, you're one of the popular people and wouldn't it ruin your reputation? I don't want to be a burden."

"Don't worry about it, they don't dare say anything about me and by the way, I don't really have many friends I can really trust either, only Miroku and sometimes my brother. Sango and Rin are my friends too but I think that's really it. Other people like Kouga; I don't think I can really trust them, maybe sometimes."

"Achoo!"

"Are you feeling alright? You've been sneezing all morning and you don't look very well either," he said, feeling her forehead, "Kagome, you have a fever, it's pretty high too. Come on, we'll sign you out, and I'll take you home."

"No, Inuyasha, I'm fine. I don't want to miss school."

"No, listen, you're really sick and I'm not letting a good friend like you suffer."

"Ok, fine. You win."

Inuyasha stood up and started to walk while Kagome shakily stood up. Inuyasha turned around, realizing Kagome isn't following and then he realized that Kagome was so sick that she can't really stand up properly. He went back to her desk and helped her stand up and held her so she can walk to the teacher without falling. Everyone in the classroom looked up, seeing Inuyasha help a geek (ya right!) stand up.

"Achoo!"

"Hey Mrs. Li, Kagome is very sick here, I'm gonna take her to the office and sign out so she can get some medical care."

"Go ahead Inuyasha. I hope you get better, Kagome."

Kagome gave the teacher a weak smile and they head to the office.

"Kagome, you sit down here, I'll go sign us out."

"Inuyasha, you don't have to sign yourself out. I can get to the doctor's by myself."

"Don't worry about it," he said as he walked into the office.

Five minutes later, he came back out. Surprisingly, Miroku came down to the office.

"Hey Miroku!"

"Hey Inuyasha, why did I get called the to the office?"

"Because, your cousin here is sick and I just asked them to call you down so I can tell you that I'm gonna take care of her and don't worry, I don' t hurt her. If Kikyo looks for me, just say I'm busy."

"Ok then, I'm going back to class now. Hope you get better Kags."

"See ya!"

Inuyasha helped Kagome into the passenger seat of his car and then he got in. He started driving in the direction of his house.

"Inuyasha, where are we going?"

"My house."

"But why? I thought you're gonna take me to the doctor's place."

"I am gonna take you to the doctors, I'm gonna call one to my house and you'll stay there until you get better."

"I can stay at my house and wait until my parents come home you know?"

"Well, you're so sick right now I can't stand it. Just go to sleep, I'll wake you up when we get there."

Kagome nodded and she fell asleep almost instantly. When she woke up she was in Inuyasha's house, in his room. Inuyasha was right beside her, sitting in a chair, staring at her.

"You're awake."

"Yeah, how come you didn't wake me up?"

"Because, you were sleeping, I didn't have the heart to wake you. By the way, I called the doctor. He's gonna be here any minute now."

Ding dong!

Inuyasha heard the door open and his butler came up and told him that the doctor is here.

"Bring him up here."

The butler nodded and left to get the doctor. Two minutes later, he was there.

"Mr. Takahashi, how may I help you?"

"Her name is Kagome Miko and she's really sick."

"I see."

The doctor began to check her heartbeat and ask her questions and stuff. After a good 10 minutes he's finally done.

"Ms. Miko has a bad fever and a headache. Here's some medication to help cool down her fever. If her fever doesn't go down a little bit by tomorrow, you must get her to the hospital. I don't really know the reason why she's sick but let's hope she's gonna be fine tomorrow. Oh yeah, here's the medicine for her headache. Take it three times a day, one tablet each time."

"Thanks doctor."

The butler took the doctor back to the door and he left.

"Inuyasha?"

"Yeah?"

"I think I should go home and rest now. I don't want you to waste your time taking care of me."

"No, you're staying here. I don't want you to get any worse than you are now."

"But what about my school work? What about my mom and dad? They're gonna get worried about me."

"Don't worry about your school work, I'll make Miroku bring that over and you can call your mom and dad. I can also get Sango to get you some clothes since you're gonna be staying here until you get better."

"But…"

"No buts!"

"Humph! Fine, be that way, gimme the phone now!"

Inuyasha handed her the phone and she dialed her mom's number.

"Hello mom."

"Hey darling. Aren't you supposed to be in school? Why are you calling me right now? Is something wrong?"

"Yes I'm supposed to be back school but I was sick and I went to school anyways and I got really really sick so Inuyasha took me to his house to rest and he won't let me leave until I get completely better so I'm just calling to tell you not to worry about me."

"Inuyasha? As in the Takahashi's son?"

"Yes mom, I'm gonna get Sango to grab my stuff after school. Don't worry about me. And if I don't come back in a few days you can come hunt Inuyasha down for murdering me."

Kagome's mother chuckled, "Now, now, you don't he won't kill you. After all he did dance…"

"SHHHHHHHHH!" said Kagome.

"Just don't do anything with Inuyasha and you know what I mean. I'll see you when you get better then, bye."

"Bye mom."

Kagome put the phone back down on the bed.

"My mom said I can stay."

"Yeah, I know, I heard the hold conversation."

"How?"

Inuyasha pointed at his ears.

"I have better hearing than regular humans. I'll be right back, stay here."

Inuyasha went downstairs and got a glass of water.

"Here, take your medicine."

Kagome made a look of disgust.

"Come on now, be a good girl."

Kagome nodded and quickly swallowed the pill and drank the whole cup of water.

"It's lunch time! Gimme the phone, I need to call Sango," Kagome said, her headache came back again.

"Before I give you the phone, take this."

Inuyasha gave her another pill.

"It's for your headache."

Kagome repeated her actions and Inuyasha gave her the phone. Sango picked up after the first ring.

"Hey Sango, this is Kagome," she said as she coughed.

"Kagome are you alright?" Sango asked worriedly.

"Yeah, but I guess 'Roku didn't tell you that I'm sick."

"Obviously not, wait a second, here he comes now. MIROKU, HOW COME YOU DIDN'T TELL ME THAT KAGOME'S SICK?"

"Calm down, I just knew during first period and I had gym so I didn't see you."

"Humph, anyways Kagome, where are you now?"

"I'm at Inuyasha's house. He took me to his house to rest and he's not letting me go home until I get completely better, that jerk."

"HEY! I HEARD THAT!" yelled Inuyasha.

"That's the point Inuyasha. Anyways, Sango I need you to get me my homework for today and for tomorrow if I don't get back. Also, come pick me up after school so I can go home and get some stuff."

"OH NO YOU'RE NOT SANGO. SHE'S STAYING RIGHT HERE UNTIL SHE GETS BETTER! I DON'T NEED HER GETTING ANY SICKER THAN SHE IS!" yelled Inuyasha, into the phone.

"Inuyasha shut up, my headache just got worse. And yes, I'm going to my house to get clothes and Sango's gonna take me. You're not coming along. Don't worry I'll be fine."

"Uh…Kags, if you're gonna talk to Inuyasha then I'm hanging up."

"No wait, I'm not done. My car is sitting in the parking lot, get Miroku to drive my car home, I know that he didn't drive today. He told me."

"Ok, so you need to me pick up all your homework, come pick you up to get clothes and get Miroku to drive your car home at Tokyo…"

"SHUT UP! Oh sorry Sango, I didn't mean it."

"Don't worry I know what you're talking about."

"Ok, I'm going to rest now, just call here before you come."

They hung up and Kagome turned to Inuyasha.

"I don't want you to go with Sango. I don't want you to be sick."

"I'll be fine. What if I'm better tomorrow and I have no clothes to change into and what about pajamas?"

"I don't want you outside in the cold. You're only in a t-shirt and baggy pants, it's chilly out there and you're gonna freeze like that."

"I know you're worried and I won't let myself get sick. By the way, whose room is this?"

"Mine, who else?"

"Wow, this is really nice."

His room is huge. There's a large plasma TV in front of the bed and behind it, that whole wall is a window, all glass, no wall. If you look out, you'll see a beach and ocean. The colour of the wall is navy blue and 'Inuyasha' is painted on the wall. There's also a huge walk-in closet with all his clothes and another one which is almost empty with some shoes and stuff in there. There's also a big desk where Inuyasha works on his homework and everything. The computer is on a corner on his desk. The bed is even bigger than king-sized with red silk sheets and matching pillows. He has a DVD player, VCR, Playstation, PS2, X-BOX, X-BOC 360 and every other game system you can imagine. He also has a whole shelf of DVDs. CDs and cassettes. There's another shelf with books on it. Who knew Inuyasha read books? He also has a door leading to a balcony and another door lead to his bathroom.

"Hey, am I taking up your room? Where are you gonna sleep?"

"In here, I can get the water bed."

"No, you live here; you can't sleep on a water bed. By the way, this is your room!"

"Well, where would I sleep? On the floor?"

"You can sleep here if you wanna…"

"Ok fine, it's your choice. Now enough of that, you're sounding really strained. Get some rest."

"But I don't wanna!"

"No but missy!"

"Yes, daddy!"

She laid down on the bed and almost instantly fell asleep. Finally after three hours, Sango called. Kagome woke up and Sango told her that she's gonna be at Inuyasha's house in half an hour.

"I still don't think you should get up," Inuyasha grumbled.

"No worries, I'm a strong girl!"

Kagome shakily stood up, using the wall as her support. Inuyasha quickly stood up and picked her up, bridal style carrying her downstairs and sitting her down at the living room.

"Thanks but you know, it wasn't really necessary, I could have walked."

"Keh!" came his reply.

The doorbell rang and Inuyasha opened the door. Sango and Miroku stood there with a textbook, a binder, a novel study book, and Kagome backpack. Inuyasha took the stuff and placed it in his room, on his desk, while Kagome tried to put on her shoes with shaky fingers.

"Kagome, you don't look very well," said Miroku, worriedly.

"Are you sure you should go out?"

"Yeah, I have to get my stuff," Kagome said as she stood up, using the handrail of the stairs as support. By then, Inuyasha is already downstairs.

Inuyasha removed his jacket and draped it around Kagome's shoulders.

"Thank you."

"If you guys make her any sicker, you're dead meat, got it?" said Inuyasha.

"Yeah, don't worry; we know how to take care of her."

They drove to Kagome's house and she fell asleep as soon as she buckled her seatbelt.

"She must be really sick," Sango commented.

"Yeah, before no matter how sick she is, she would never miss school. I wonder how Inuyasha convinced her."

"Oh well, at least he's taking care of her. Kagome, wake up, we're here."

Kagome's eyed fluttered open and they walked into her house. Kagome went upstairs to her room and pulled out a travel bag and the list of stuff Inuyasha told her to bring. She pulled out a set of blue pajamas, a pair of track pants, a pair of jeans, underwear and socks, a long sleeved shirt, a t-shirt, a tank top (the weather is unsteady lately so she brought this in case), a sweater, two sweatshirts, and a jacket. She then went into her washroom and grabbed her toothbrush and stuff that she uses daily and stuff that in her bag. Miroku helped her carry her stuff downstairs and they left for Inuyasha's house.

-.-.-.-.-..--.--.-

That night she woke up to Inuyasha waking her up, telling her to go downstairs to eat dinner (she still didn't change yet…how dumb…lol).

"Hey, how are you feeling?"

"I feel a little better but not a lot better."

"Well, come downstairs and eat dinner first maybe it will make you feel a little better to have some food in your stomach."

"Wait, let me get my sweatshirt, I'm cold."

After that, Kagome went downstairs with Inuyasha helping her. When she got downstairs, she saw Sesshomaru already eating at the table.

"Hey, I'm Kagome Miko."

"I'm Sesshomaru. What are you doing here, by the way?"

"Can't you tell she's sick? She wasn't feeling very well in school and I didn't want to leave her alone in her house so I took her here."

"I see," he said.

'Well, I know who Sesshomaru is but he doesn't know who I really am so I might as well pretend that I don't know him,' Kagome thought.

'She looks kinda familiar…' Sesshomaru thought.

Everyone ate dinner in silence and soon after, Kagome went upstairs again. It's only 6pm so she decided to sleep for another hour or two and then start on her homework.

At 8pm, Kagome woke up and coincidentally, Inuyasha came up to check on her.

"You don't look as pale as this morning. Here take this medication."

Kagome quickly swallowed her two pills and drank the whole glass of water like she did earlier in the day.

"Hey Inuyasha, is it ok if I move to a guest room or something? I don't feel very comfortable occupying someone else's room."

"Sure, if that's what you want, Kagome."

Kagome stood up and went over to the desk.

"Where are you going?"

"To move my stuff into a guest room."

"You don't even know where the guest rooms are."

"Oh…right. Can you please take me?"

"Keh!"

Inuyasha led her down the hall and opened a door. The guest room is big too. It had light blue walls and a glass window/wall just like Inuyasha's room. There's a walk-in closet, a built in bathroom, balcony, a large plasma television, etc. Actually, it's almost exactly like Inuyasha's room but smaller and without the game systems.

"Thank you," she said as Inuyasha went downstairs.

Kagome set her travel bag down on the floor and change into her blue pajamas and then, took her books, binders, and pencil case out. She has to read page 45 to 50 in her textbook for history and answer numbers 1-5 in paragraph form on page 53. For English, she has to read the next chapter in her novel study book and make a summary on it, no more than one page.

"Well, might as well start it in case I'm well enough to go to school tomorrow," she mumbled.

She carried her stuff downstairs to the living room where Inuyasha and Sesshomaru are watching Much Music Countdown.

"Kagome, what are you doing down here? You need to rest!" Inuyasha said.

"I'm feeling better now and I need to do my homework in case I'm well enough to go to school tomorrow. Achoo!"

"See what I mean?"

"Uh…something just made me sneeze, probably allergies," she lied, "no worries."

Kagome began to read and Inuyasha and Sesshomaru watched her intently.

'How can she work like this when she's so sick? There's something special about this girl. She doesn't seem like a normal human. Any normal human who's as sick as she is couldn't even get out of bed and yet she can walk around a bit,' Sesshomaru thought.

After one hour she finally finished her history homework and her headache came back at full blast.

"Inuyasha, do you have any Advil?"

"Yeah, why do you ask?"

"My headache came back again."

"See what I told you? You shouldn't be working if you're not feeling well."

"But I need to finish it. What if I happen to feel a lot better and I don't have my homework done?"

"Whatever, I'll go get the Advil."

By then, Sesshomaru already went and came back with two tablets and a glass of water.

"Thank you, Sesshomaru," Kagome said, gratefully.

"No problem."

That night, Kagome didn't manage to finish her homework because Sesshomaru and Inuyasha made her go upstairs and rest and they told her than they would tell the teacher that she was really sick that night and she couldn't finish her English stuff. With that settled, Kagome went into a peaceful sleep for the night

-.-.-.--.-.-

End of Chapter 7!

By the way, Kagome never removed her glasses in front of anyone!
