Two days later Sesshomaru wondered briefly if Kagome was all right or if she had caught something else as well. Her cough sounded terrible to the point that it scared Rin when Kagome whooped along with her cold.
"I'm fine." She stated that night as they went to bed before falling into another series of coughs. At Sesshomaru's raised eyebrow she sighed, grabbed her phone, and typed what she wanted to say, not want to risk another coughing fit.
"This is normal?" Sesshomaru finally asked. He'd seen Kagome before when she was sick with a cold but he'd never lived with her then. Living with her made her sickness more pronounced, more fearful. He silently wished he'd never have to hear one of Kagome's whooping coughs again. There wasn't anything he could do to help her and it scared him. So he did the only thing he could: he pulled her close and told her that he would help her get better.
