Chap 3. Yum Did Someone Say Cookies
When Inuyasha was half way down the stairs he smelled something that smelt a lot like something Kagome brought with her once called cookies. He kept going down the stairs and went into the kitchen.
Mrs. Higurashi had a bowl of cookie dough on the table beside a cookie sheet and a pan of freshly baked cookies on the stove. She was rolling cookie dough into little balls and placing them on the cookie sheet. She heard sniffing and turned to see Inuyasha in the doorway.
" Oh. Hello. Would You Like one? They're fresh," Mrs. Higurashi asked sweetly.
" OK but first I have to get Kagome some medicine," Inuyasha said smiling.
" What medicine does she need?"
" She called it Gr-av-ol," Inuyasha pronounced slowly.
" Oh Gravol. OK I'll get you some," Mrs. Higurashi said sweetly.
She went over to one of the cupboards and grabbed a bottle from it then took one tablet out and handed it to Inuyasha.
" Does she need a glass of water?"
" No she has a bottle of water upstairs"
" OK you take that up to Kagome and get her settled then come back down and you can have a cookie"
" OK"
Inuyasha went back upstairs and over to Kagome's room then gently opened the door and walked over to Kagome. She saw him come in and sat up.
" Here take this and I'll get you a I'll get a you cool cloth," Inuyasha said softly handing Kagome the tablet.
" OK. Thanx," Kagome said sleepily as she took the tablet.
She grabbed her bottle of water and opened it then popped the tablet into her mouth and swallowed it down with a sip of water. Inuyasha grabbed the cloth off of Kagome's nightstand and went into the washroom and dampened it then rung it out and went back into Kagome's room. When he walked in Kagome was lying down again. He gently placed the cloth on her, only slightly warm, forehead then planted a kiss on her cheek and left closing the door softly behind him. Then he headed down stairs to the kitchen.
Mrs. Higurashi saw him come in and motioned for him to sit down at the table while she took one cookie sheet out of the oven and popped another one in.
" Ok you want a cookie now?" Mrs. Higurashi asked sweetly.
Inuyasha nodded.
" Ok I'll give you one and if you like it you can have another"
" Ok"
Mrs. Higurashi grabbed a few cookies and joined Inuyasha at the table. She handed him one and he gladly took it.
Inuyasha munched on it happily. When he was half way through his cookie Mrs. Higurashi smiled at him.
" Would you like another one?" She asked sweetly.
" Ok,"
He kept eating while Mrs. Higurashi got him another cookie. She brought it back to the table and handed it to Inuyasha, who took it gladly.
After Inuyasha finished his cookie he sat quietly for awhile until he started to worry about Kagome.
" I'm gonna go check on Kagome. Do you have anything you'd like me to take to her?" Inuyasha asked quietly.
" If you wait a second I'll make her some tea," Mrs. Higurashi said sweetly.
" Ok"
Inuyasha sat patiently munching on another cookie while Mrs. Higurashi made Kagome's tea. Once she was finished making the tea she handed it to Inuyasha. He took it then headed upstairs.
When he got to Kagome's room he softly opened the door and walked in. He walked over to the night stand and gently set the cup of tea down then turned his attention to Kagome. The cloth had fallen off her forehead and onto the floor. He picked it up and before putting it back in place he gently felt her forehead. He removed his hand when Kagome stirred. She opened her eyes sleepily.
" Sorry I didn't mean to wake you up," Inuyasha said softly.
" That's ok," Kagome said before she yawned and sat up.
" I brought you up some tea," Inuyasha said motioning to the cup of tea on the night stand.
" Thanx"
" You want the cloth on your forehead again?"
" No I think my fever's gone but I'm still tired"
" How about you lay back down and I'll rub your back till you fall asleep"
" Ok"
Kagome took a few sips of her tea then laid down on her stomach. Inuyasha started gently rubbing her back and she closed her eyes. In a matter of minutes Kagome was asleep again.
Inuyasha went back downstairs to keep Mrs. Higurashi company and get some more cookies.
" How's Kagome feeling?" Mrs. Higurashi asked when he walked into the kitchen.
" A lot better. Her fever's gone and she says she's feeling better. She's just tired," Inuyasha said sweetly.
" That's good," Mrs. Higurashi said smiling, " Would you like another cookie?"
" OK"
Inuyasha sat down at the table and Mrs. Higurashi grabbed the cookies. She was just about to sit down when a thought struck her.
" Would you like some milk to go with your cookies?" she asked sweetly.
" Milk?" Inuyasha looked clueless, " What's milk?"
" It's a drink. I'll pour you a small glass so you can try it"
" Ok"
Mrs. Higurashi grabbed the milk out of the fridge and grabbed a glass from the cupboard then sat down at the table then poured some milk into the glass and handed it to Inuyasha. He took a sip and swallowed it the took another sip.
" Do you like it?" Mrs. Higurashi asked sweetly.
" Yeah. It's pretty good," Inuaysha said before finishing the the remaining milk in the glass.
" Would you like some more?"
" Ok"
Mrs. Higurashi filled Inuaysha's glass again and handed him a few cookies. Inuyasha started happily munching on his cookies and drinking his milk.
After he finished his milk and cookies Inuyasha started to get worried about Kagome again.
" I'm gonna go check on Kagome again," Inuyasha said calmly.
" Ok," Mrs. Higurashi said smiling.
Inuyasha got up and headed up stairs.
He was half way up the stairs when he bumped into someone. He look down to see Kagome sitting on her bottom on one of the stairs.
" Are you ok?" Inuyasha asked apologetically offering Kagome a hand.
" Yeah I'm fine," Kagome said taking his hand and flashing Inuyasha a huge smile.
Inuyasha gently pulled Kagome to her feet.
" You feeling better?" Inuyasha asked softly.
" Yes much better. My fever's gone, my stomach's fine now and my headaches and cramps are gone too," Kagome said happily.
" Good. You wanna go downstairs and get something to eat? Your mom made cookies"
" OK"
Inuyasha headed downstairs with Kagome at his side and they walked into the kitchen. A smile immediately spread across Kagome's face when she saw all the cookies on the counter. Mrs. Higurashi look up from the magezine she was reading when she heard foot steps then smiled when she saw Kagome's happy expression.
" I see you're feeling better," Mrs. Higurashi said smiling at her daughter.
" Yes I'm felling much better," Kagome said happily.
" I don't suppose you want a cookie," Mrs. Higurashi said sweetly.
" Yes Please," Kagome said smiling.
" Would you like one too Inuyasha?" Mrs. Higurashi asked sweetly.
" Ok," Inuyasha said happily.
" Do you two want milk to go with your cookies?
" Yes please"
" Sure"
Inuyasha and Kagome sat down at the table and Kagome snuggled up to Inuyasha. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close.
" You still a little tired?" Inuyasha asked softly.
Kagome nodded against his chest.
" After your milk and cookies you can take a nap"
" That sounds good," Kagome said softly.
A couple minutes later Mrs. Higurashi sat down at the table and handed each of them a glass of milk and a cookie.
" Thanx," Inuyasha and Kagome said in unison.
" You're welcome," Mrs. Higurashi said smiling.
Inuyasha and Kagome started eating their cookies and drinking their milk.
