I'm sorry for how long it took, State Exam. I don't own Inuyasha.
"Chapter Five:
Night Under the Stars."
Night struck in the Forest of Life, and the night was quiet. In an open field in the middle of the forest, Ayame had laid Kouga on some soft grass, and kept him warm with her white fur cape. She placed her hand on his forehead, and it was steamed. "He has a fever." Ayame thought, worried.
Then, she walked to a near by river, and moistened a small towel. She squeezed out the excess water, and folded the towel. She then, walked back to Kouga, and placed it on his forehead. She stood up, and headed to the fire to keep it going. She stayed there until she heard a small moan out of Kouga. She walked over to him. Kouga opened his eyes, but barely, and saw Ayame within his line of view.
"Ayame..." He said, wearily. Ayame placed a finger over his lips, gently.
"Hush now, Kouga. You're ill, and you need to regain your strength." Ayame said, softly. She removed her finger.
"What about the temple?" Kouga asked, trying to get up. Ayame, gently put a hand upon his shoulder, and let him lie back down on the soft grass.
"It's going to have to wait, Kouga, you're running a fever, and I don't want it to get worse." Ayame answered, recovering Kouga with her white fur cape. She set it down when it was up to his chin, and stroked his hair back behind his ear ever so slightly.
"You're going to catch a cold, you know?" Kouga stated, while staring at her.
"I know, but you need to get well. Sleep now, Kouga. You need to rest." Ayame said, placing her hand on his head, helping him to relax. Kouga was too weak, and too sick to move. He had no choice, but to listen to Ayame, and sleep. The wolf nodded, closed his eyes, and dosed back to sleep. Ayame left his side, and went back to the fire, and looked up at the stars. It wasn't long until she tried to get comfy, and went to sleep.
I know it's not long, but it is sweet, I'll try, and update sooner. Trust me, their problems have just begun.
