Heart of Tensaiga
The Well
The next day Lord Sesshomaru really started to feel something akin to worry for the woman Kagome. She had a fever that flushed her face and no matter how many cool cloths the young Rin placed on her head it never seemed to go down. She flitted between coming awake and falling asleep and usually could only let out a small groan of pain. Her breath came out in short gasps and he could hear a faint rattling in her chest. He knew this was not a good sign for her health.
Furthermore, Rin was starting to panic when Kagome had not gotten better during the long hours. Night was fast approaching and still a nice layer of sweat coated the girl, whose body was, quite contradicting, shivering.
After another hour of his own care and her snuggling into his pelt, her eyes opened for a brief amount of time. He noticed her attempting to speak but even his demon ears could not pick up what was being said. So he leaned down next to her, as dignified as he could manage, and listened.
Kagome's throat constricted as she tried to speak. She knew what was wrong with her and she knew the cure could not be found here, "The well…take me…to… well and jump."
Sesshomaru looked down upon her and wondered why she would insist on going to the well. Still, he picked her up and ran as fast as he could and upon reaching the well jumped down.
(A/N) Alrighty, finally finished a few things and decided to get another chapter out before getting some much needed sleep. As always, read and enjoy. Reviews are very welcome to those that wish to leave one. Have a good night everyone!
