InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A.T.T.I.C ❯ The Difference Between Problems and Issues ( Chapter 6 )

Kouga sat in his dorm with his girlfriend Ayame. “What do you want to do today Ayame?”

“I need to start Christmas Shopping after Thanksgiving. But today I just want to spend my time with you.” Ayame said as she leaned back into his warm arms on his couch in his dorm. Kouga's electric fireplace roared to life. And they sat there listening to the artificial popping of it.

Kouga didn't share his dorm with anyone. They ran out of people to put in the dorms and for that he was eternally grateful. He could come and go as he pleased and he didn't have to worry about walking in on something he didn't want to see. Just then there was a knock at the door.

“Yeah who is it?” Kouga called trying his best not to be to loud because Ayame was sleeping peacefully on his chest.

“It's Ginta, Kouga open up…” The young wolf demon said from behind the door.

“It's open.” Kouga said. He shifted a bit to put Ayame in a more comfortable position and looked up. “What do you want?” Kouga said softly.

“I just thought you should know that there is a new student coming some time near the end of December.”

“And why should that interest me?” Kouga asked as he raised his eyebrow.

“Because they are looking to place him in your room,” Ginta said.

“Whadafuck do yah mean they want to put him in my room?” Kouga growled out but still keeping it down low.

“Well, your name is at the top of the list so this Shippo guy is supposed to move in with you.”

“Just great, just what I need a freshman in my room…”

“Well really Kouga he's a senior.”

“Like that's so much better. Well that's the greatest fucking present the broads at this school have ever given me. I mean this goes way above detention with dog boy on Christmas Eve last year.”

“I'm sorry Kouga I really did try to talk them out of it…”

“I know you did Ginta and thanks for it.” Kouga said as Ginta headed out of the door. After saying their goodbyes Ginta left. “Well a Merry Fucking Christmas to me…”

“To tell or not to tell… that is the question.” Rin sat on top of the roof of the building looking out over the people rushing back and forth. Thanksgiving break meant visits home. Each one going to see a family that she didn't have and if she did she couldn't go back to them now anyway.

But right now that was not on her mind. She was trying to figure out if she should in fact tell Sango that Sesshoumaru knew. In her opinion it was safer to have her Sesshoumaru knowing than Inu Yasha anyway.

`I just called him mine… This is getting beyond my control and my hormones have taken over.' Rin thought. She still didn't know what to do. She sighed and made her way back to the dorms. At the last minute she turned to Miroku and Sango's room deciding that maybe it was okay if she told her.

She stopped at the door and opened it. “Miroku, Seiya… you guys here?” The sight that greeted her eyes mentally scarred her. Sango and Miroku lay sprawled out on the couch making out. “Oh my eyes they burn!” Rin screamed running into the bathroom and washing her eyes out.

When she came out Miroku and Sango were sitting on the couch both on different ends blushing. “Umm… I can explain.” They both said at the same time.

“Of course you can…” Rin said rolling her eyes.

“Well, I met Sango at the Halloween party and by chance we met up at the mall while she was shopping for some skirts.”

“Oh… She was shopping for some skirts, eh?” Rin said sending a `Now who screwed it up' look to Sango behind Miroku's back.

“Yeah and one thing led to another and we ended up here…” Miroku finished.

“Well since Seiya isn't here and I needed to talk to him… I guess I will talk to him later, but it is important.” Rin said stressing some of her words and heading towards the door. “I have erased this event from my mind…” she said walking out of the room backwards. “And Miroku…”

“What?”

“Burn that damned couch.”

“Do you think you can make a trip home in this condition?” Kagome asked him.

“I'm fine…” Inu Yasha said and then he sneezed out mucus. It was two days before Thanksgiving and Inu Yasha was planning to drive home for the holiday. But there was a little problem… he was sick.

“Fine huh?” Kagome said handing him a tissue before he could sniff it back up.

“Yeah, fine…” His face was flushed, his eyes were clouded, his nose runny and his skin filled with sweat. His breathing was labored especially since he was a hanyou.

Kagome placed her cool hand on his forehead. Inu Yasha found himself leaning into it. “You have a fever…” Kagome whispered.

“Um…hum…” He said closing his eyes as she moved her other hand to rub his ears gently.

“Now be a good boy and go back to sleep… I'll call your mom and tell her you can't make it today…” Kagome said as he lay back down. That's how she knew that he was extremely sick because if he hadn't been, he would have never listened to her that easily.

Kagome picked up the phone and dialed Rin's number.

“Hello…” Rin answered quite groggily, a sign that she had been out all night long.

“Reiji, Inu Yasha has a cold. What do you do for demons with a cold? He's burning up and his nose is running… I gave him some medicine and he's asleep now but what next?”

“What are you talking about inu youkai don't get colds…”

“I think I know what a cold is Reiji. He is flushed and his whole face is sweaty, except for his nose…”

“Whoa, back up is his nose warm, dried up and looking like it is about to peel?”

“He isn't a real dog Rei…”

“No, it is a well know fact that an inu youkai's nose dries when they are sick. Instead of sweating like the rest of the body the sweat glands close up and it runs…”

“Maybe I shouldn't have skipped Youkai/Ningen health class…”

“Yah think?”

“Well what does he have then?”

“Klasibleinuotomitrua or commonly know as Inu KIT, call his mom. She should know what to do.”

“And you don't?”

“Hey, I'm allowed to skip too. Call the mother, I'm going back to sleep.” And with that and a good bye Rin hung up the phone.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

*A few hours later*

After talking on the phone to Inu Yasha's mother, Kagome sat in the kitchen mixing different types of liver together. “If anyone gave this to me, I'd hope they'd never tell me what it was…” She placed her hand over her nose and walked over to Inu Yasha.

“What?” Inu Yasha asked his eyes extremely droopy.

“Your mom told me to make this for you. Some kind of drink, it is full of nutrients and goodness.”

“Feh…” Inu Yasha took the cup drunk the whole thing in 2 gulps and turned over. When Kagome thought he had gone to sleep she continued with the conversation.

“Did I mention that your mom said that she was coming here tomorrow to check on you along with your father and some family friend?”

“Nani?!” Inu Yasha said sitting up quickly and almost instantly regretting it. The room began to swim around him.

“Oops, I thought you were asleep… She told me to tell you when you were asleep…”

“What do yah mean my mom and dad are coming here?!” Inu Yasha yelled and immediately regretted as his head began to pound.

“Since you can't go there, she said she was coming to your summer house to bring Thanksgiving to you! And your dad said he wasn't coming unless he got to bring somebody with him… Ka… something or other…” Kagome said.

“Kagura?”

“Yeah, I think that was it.”

“Oh no, listen whatever you do, don't tell Sesshoumaru. He has a girlfriend now and if dad comes down here he is going to try to hook him up with Kagura again.” Inu Yasha said rolling his eyes.

“Don't you think that we should warn him then…”

“No, let him suffer.” Inu Yasha said laying back down.

“You jackass, I'm going to tell him. Don't you think his girlfriend needs to also be warned? It is not all about him.” Kagome said getting ready to storm out of the room.

“Feh, the girl doesn't need to hold on to Sesshoumaru anyway. She's pretty stupid for doing it anyway…”

“Don't you dare talk about Rin like that you jerk!” Kagome yelled in his ear and stormed out of the room.

“Oww… No one seems to care that I have demonic hearing and that I'm sick do they? No they always have to bring drama into my life… This sucks.” Inu Yasha muttered as he placed the pillow over his ears to stop the ringing.

Hi there, I decided that all the people that happily reviewed deserved another chapter before I pass on into the nether regions of hell… Any way I worked on this for a good 15 minutes… then I took a nap… then I played with my new cell phone and thought, damn this story has 43 reviews. This really isn't that much, until you look at some of my other stories, with 3 to 10 reviews and 7 to 10 hits, and then you realize that this is like 3 times as much, so you clinch your butt cheeks and go on…

But I figure that since I technically can't see a really clear ending for this story, if I keep forcing myself to type it will get so long that the amount of reviews will one day calm me… Because reviews are my social life because my best friends (2 of them) ditched me and high tailed it to Atlanta… It's only for the summer but you know one of them didn't tell me she went. Then the other miraculously remembered while packing her clothing because she was going the next day.

Anyway enough about my social life. (Yeah Right!) I'm growing up in a week and a half! And I got a cell phone for my birthday. It's not bootlegged or anything. And my dad promised to pay for half of my moped because he's paying the phone bill. So it's all good. My horoscope said I would be getting some good stuff this year I just didn't believe it! I'm so happy that I'm going to go look in my normally empty refrigerator and find some food because my mom went shopping! And you know what else? I'm getting a credit card because me parents have gone completely insane! But I promise to be a good little spender and not go over my limit or have my mommy kill me so I can keep typing!

Oh I love you guys! Read and Review! See yah later for the next Chapter! Bye Bye Now!
