Five days after Kagome got her cold she eyed the pill Sesshomaru set out in front of her on a plate. He'd convinced her to go to the doctor, which she had only done because her cough had never persisted this stubbornly for so long before. She'd been prescribed Z-Pac and as much as she knew she had to take the pill, the sheer size of it was daunting to her.

"Kagome," Sesshomaru finally began, "just take it." Huffing, she reached for it and downed it with a large gulp of water. When she finished swallowing, she made a face.

"What's wrong?" Rin asked having watched her parents and their pill battle from the sidelines.

"Nothing, just a stupid fat pill." Kagome answered back making a face and drinking more water. She hated big pills, even if swallowed she always felt like the pill was stuck in her throat for a while.
