Chapter 7: Fever and A Small Look into the Past
Inuyasha drove as fast as he could to Kagomes house he didn't care how fast he was going all he knew was that he had to get to Kagomes and he had to get there as fast as he could. When he reached Kagomes house he rushed inside.
When Inuyasha entered he saw that it was dark inside except for the one light that was on in the living room. Inuyasha didn't know where to look for Kagomes and Sakura so he raced to the kitchen to see if Kagome was in there, like she was in his dream. Much to his relief and a little to his dismay neither her nor Sakura were in there.
Inuyasha then realized this was taking way to long so he started to call out Kagome and Sakuras name, listening carefully in the kitchen he didn't hear a response. So then Inuyasha decided it was best to check upstairs.
When he climbed the stairs a familiar sent filled his nose 'I smell tears and Kagomes scent, damn they were up here the whole time why didn't I think of using my demon senses to begin with?' thought Inuyasha as he raced up the stairs and down the hall to the door where the scent of Kagome and Sakura were coming from. When Inuyasha opened the door he was almost knocked back-wards from a strong force hitting his legs.
When he looked down there was Sakura with her arms and legs wrapped around his right leg crying. Inuyasha then reached down and detached her from his leg and picked her up, ''Its gonna be ok Sakura, your mom is gonna be just fine.'' said Inuyasha to Sakura to try to stop her from crying 'well I hope she will' thought Inuyasha. When Sakura stopped crying Inuyasha set her down.
'' Sakura I want you to stay here why I go see whats wrong with your mom ok?''
'' Ok....'' said Sakura quietly but loud enough for Inuyasha to hear.
Inuyasha then made his way over to where Kagome was laying motionless on the floor 'she doesn't look like she is breathing' thought Inuyasha as he reached Kagome. Kneeling down Inuyasha turned Kagome over on her back so her body was in his arms. 'thank god she's breathing' thought Inuyasha.
When Inuyasha saw that Kagome didn't look like she was injured in any way. 'what wrong with her? I don't smell any blood so she didn't get cut....' Inuyasha thought. Inuyasha then moved Kagome in his arms better so that he could pick her up. Standing up Inuyasha placed Kagome on her bed.
When Inuyasha removed his hand from behind her head his hand slid across her forehead, when he touched it he instantly yanked his hand back. 'She's burning up, how could she get so sick in such a short amount of time? damn I can't be thinking of that now, I have to get her fever down some how.' thought Inuyasha. Inuyasha then got up and headed to-wards the door where Sakura was standing waiting to make sure her mom was going to be ok.
''Inu is my mommy gonna be ok?'' asked Sakura who looked as if she were about to start crying any minute.
Inuyasha bent down next to Sakura and smiled faintly ''Its ok your mom is gonna be just fine shes just sick thats all ok, she'll be better soon so don't worry ok?'' Inuyasha said
'' ok'' said Sakura weakly
''Now that you no that, I need you to do me a favor ok? What I need you to do is go downstairs get a glass of Ice and a towel and bring it up here to me while I go find some medicine and a thermometer. Can I trust you to do that '' asked Inuyasha.
''umm hmm'' Sakura said as she nodded her head.
''Ok good now why don't you go do that and I will go get some medicine ok?'' said Inuyasha. Sakura just nodded her head and ran out the door while Inuyasha went and headed for the main bathroom which was down the hall. When Inuyasha reached the bathroom he opened the medicine cabinet and searched for the thermometer and some thing to give Kagome when she woke up to get down her fever. After searching for a few minutes Inuyasha finally found some Tylenol fever reducers and a thermometer. He then grabbed them and headed backing to Kagomes bedroom.
When Inuyasha got there he found Sakura already there waiting for him to return. Inuyasha then took the cup of ice and the towel from Sakura and set them on the nightstand. When Inuyasha set them there he caught sight of the clock it read 10:58 p.m.. When Inuyasha actually registered what time it was he knew that Sakura should be in bed by now and if Kagome woke up and found out that she was still awake she would probably yell at him for keeping her up.
'' Inu how come mommy hasn't woken up yet, you said that she would be better soon.'' said Sakura
'' It will probably take a few days before your mommy gets completely better and she should wake up soon but you need to go to bed because it's getting to late and your mom would be mad at me if she found out that I kept you up this late.'' said Inuyasha
''But I don't want to go to bed I want to wait till my mommy wakes up.'' said Sakura
''No you can't stay up because you need your rest and if you don't rest you could get sick to, so come on I'll tuck you in'' Said Inuyasha as he picked up Sakura and carried her to her room. Inuyasha then tucked in Sakura and headed back into Kagomes room. When he got there he felt her forehead again, and it was still the same. So then Inuyasha took the ice from the cup and wrapped some in the towel then placed it on Kagomes forehead. 'that should contain the fever a little bit, but I can't do much until she wakes up' thought Inuyasha.
When Inuyasha looked at the clock again it was a little past eleven 'I'm most likely gonna be here a while so I guess I should get a chair or something' thought Inuyasha. When Inuyasha looked around the room he spotted a big chair in the conner, figuring that was the best he was going to find Inuyasha move the chair next to Kagomes bed and took the little blanket off the top of the chair and covered up with it. About an hour after watching Kagome Inuyasha fell asleep.
A few hours later Inuyasha heard a loud gasp and Inuyasha woke up right away. Inuyasha looked up at Kagome to find that she was awake sitting up in her bed. She didn't notice Inuyasha's presence right away but when she looked over she saw him sitting there watching her.
''What are you doing here?'' Kagome tried to ask but her throat hurt bad and it was dry.
''Don't try to talk and lie back down. and if you want to no why I'm here it is because you got a high fever and you passed out on the floor because it was so high. then Sakura came in and found you then she called me and that was at 10 '' said Inuyasha
''oh'' was all Kagome could manage to say because her throat was so dry.
''You lay back down while I go and get you some water so you can take some medicine to get your fever down.'' said Inuyasha as he got up from the chair and headed downstairs.While Inuyasha went downstairs Kagomes thought about what he had said. ' Inuyasha stayed here all night looking after me, even though he didn't have to he stayed here anyway to make sure I was ok' thought Kagome, but before she could think anything else Inuyasha came into the room and handed her the glass of water. Kagome drank some water as Inuyasha gave her some fever reducers.
Kagome took them and then set the glass of water back down on the nightstand and said ''Inuyasha you stayed here all night?''
''Yeah well most of it anyway because I came at 10'' replied Inuyasha
''Well thank you for taking care of me and all.'' said Kagome
''Hey your not better yet you still have a fever and don't you think that I'm going to let you work and do all the other stuff you do until your better, because your not.''said Inuyasha stubbornly (he's sweet but a little ooc)
''What do you mean that you won't let me do anything, I can't just sit around and do nothing! and plus who's gonna watch Sakura and everything else I have to do this weekend.'' said Kagome
'' Well I can watch Sakura and anything else you really have to do can wait until your better.'' stated Inuyasha
''fine...Hey Inuyasha..''
''Yeah''
''Where's Sakura I mean you said that she was the one that found me so where is she, she usually wouldn't leave if something like this happened'' said Kagome
'' She's sleeping in her room, at about 11 I told her that she should go to bed so I tucked her into bed and I she hasn't been up yet.'' replied Inuyasha.
''ok I was just a little worried thats all'' said Kagome
''It's ok why don't you get some more rest and I'll be downstairs if you need anything ok'' said Inuyasha.
''Ok'' said Kagome as she watched Inuyasha nod his head one final time and leave the room to go downstairs. Kagome then lay-ed back down, within a minute she was asleep again.
When Inuyasha got downstairs he didn't really know what to do so he decided to watch some T.V. while he was there because there was nothing else really for him to do since Kagome went back to sleep. Inuyasha then made his way over to the couch. When he sat down he glanced at the clock it read 7:05 a.m..
Inuyasha then turned on the T.V. and started to flip thought the many channels. After a few minutes of flipping through channels he decided that there was nothing on so he turned off the T.V. but just stayed on the couch.
Looking around again Inuyasha remembered about some of the things he thought about the first time he came here. Inuyasha remember one in-particular that he thought and that was 'where were her parents and did she have any' well Inuyasha found this out and it was not to his liking at all.
It seemed that when Kagomes father died when she was three and he left Kagome with his company and a lot of inheritance money, but when Kagome got pregnant her mom kicked her out of the house so Kagome used her inheritance money and bought a house and took care of Sakura on her own and with help from Sango. When Inuyasha thought of this it angered him greatly that Kagomes mom did that to her. He hated the thought of someone being so mean to Kagome when she needed help the most. Inuyasha sat there and thought about that for a few minutes and remember when he found out.
---------------Flashback--------------------------
It had been about two weeks since Inuyasha had started to work for Kagome and once again here Inuyasha was eating dinner at Kagomes house not that he minded or anything.
Inuyasha and Kagome had gotten used to each others company pretty well over the past weeks and there was no more awkward silence at the table. So There they were all eating at the dinner table listening to Sakura tell about how she drew her best picture yet (which happened to be Inuyasha in a pink bunny suit) when Kagome asked Inuyasha a question.
''Hey Inuyasha who do you live with, I mean you only mentioned your older brother once and that's about it.'' said Kagome
''Well I live with my brother and his fiancée Rin and my parents went live in the United States so they left me to live with my brother.'' said Inuyasha
''oh ok'' said Kagome
''Hey Kagome why do you live by yourself? Where are your parents?'' as soon as Inuyasha said this he realized his mistake, Kagomes eyes saddened and she was about to speak but Inuyasha hurried and said ''You don't have to tell me, I mean I was just curious but if it hurts to bring it up you don't have to answer.''
''No its ok I'll tell you'' said Kagome
''You sure?'' asked Inuyasha
''Yeah well anyway here is what happened, when I was three my dad was killed in a car crash because some drunken driver smashed into him, later I found out that he left me his company and a large amount of money because I was his only daughter. Then later when I was older I told my mom that I was pregnant and she kicked me out, she told me that I was a disgrace to the family and I should never come back, so thats what I did I left and bought this house finished high-school when I was 16 and took college courses over the Internet till I was 18 and then took over my dad's business. Thats really all thats happened up to this point and I still have never talked to my mother since but it's ok I'm over all that now.'' said Kagome as she smiled weakly.
--------------------End Flashback----------------------
Inuyasha remembered it all like it was yesterday. Inuyasha was about to turn on the T.V. when he heard someone coming down the stairs. Turning around he saw a sleepily eyed Sakura coming down the stairs.
''Inu is my mommy better yet?'' Sakura asked sleepily as she made her way over to the couch where Inuyasha was sitting.
''Yeah she's gonna be fine she just need rest, you can go see her later when she wakes up again ok? Now come on into the kitchen and I'll fix you something to eat because your probably hungry right?'' said Inuyasha
''Yeah'' said Sakura as she followed Inuyasha into the kitchen. When Inuyasha got to the kitchen he looked through the fridge and the cabinets and the only thing he knew how to cook that was breakfast food was omelette's. So Inuyasha then made him and Sakura two omelette's and then he took them into the living room so that Sakura could watch T.V. while she ate. After they were finished Inuyasha got up and put the dished in the dishwasher.
When Inuyasha was done with that he and Sakura headed upstairs to check on Kagome. Much to his relief her fever was down and she was sleeping. Covering her up some more Inuyasha started to leave the room and motioned for Sakura to follow. Sakura followed Inuyasha out the bedroom door and said ''Inu since mommy's sick does that mean I can't go outside and play for a little bit?''
''No it doesn't mean that I'll take you outside if you go get dressed but it can only be for a little bit because if your mommy wakes up and finds us not here she'll get worried ok.'' said Inuyasha
''Ok I'll go get dressed'' Sakura said as she rushed into her room to get dressed.
Inuyasha drove as fast as he could to Kagomes house he didn't care how fast he was going all he knew was that he had to get to Kagomes and he had to get there as fast as he could. When he reached Kagomes house he rushed inside.
