Chapter 3

 

“Kagome Mommy!” Shippo whimpered out miserably beside the girl. She turned and looked at him waking in before the dawn had even started to come up.

“What is it Shippo?”

“Don't feel good.” He cried out. She sat up putting a hand to his skin.

“You feel pretty warm to me.” She said getting up before gathering him into her arms. “Its alright we'll get it down.” She told him gently.

“Can you tell me what feel's bad?”

“My belly, and head.” He told her. Nodding she pulled a bottle out of the cabnet,

“Here try and drink this for me” Shippo took it and did just that before making a face.

“That stuffs nasty!”

“I know but it will make you feel less hot and make your belly feel better.” She told him pulling a blanket over him before sitting in a chair with him and rocked with him waiting for fever reducer to take affect. Whimpers came from the boy's mouth as she rocked.

“I know, you don't feel good.” Gently she handed him a cup she had brought with her.

“Drink some of this it will help.” He did as asked slowly sipping. It was two hours before Sota walked down finding that mother and son had fallen asleep in the reclining rocker. He didn't have to guess when he seen the flushed face on Shippo's face to see he had a fever. Sota walked into his mom's room.

“I think you should call Kagome in mom,”

“Why's that?”

“Because it looks like she was up all night with Shippo he's sick and you know she's not going to wanna leave him or take him out when he's like that.”

“Alright I'll take a look” The woman said standing and pulling a robe on. She then followed her son to the living room where Kagome and Shippo slept. Kagome's mom felt the kitsune's forehead finding that his fever was indeed high. She called the school as soon as she found this out letting them know that Kagome would not be attending due to family problems. And that she would be back as soon as they had it taken care of. Kagome woke with a start later not to mention stiff.

“Don't worry Kagome I called the school and told them you would not be there today, and that you would come back as soon as things here at the house were taken care of.”

“Thanks mom I wouldn't have made a big deal but he's sick and it's…”

“I knew you wouldn't want to leave him while he feels that bad. Do you think he could use anything?”

“I'm going to get him some more juice in a bit, but could you please get him some cold treats and something that might be easy on his stomach.” Kagome's mom nodded. “I'll go get some what is there anything else he might need?”

“I don't know.” Kagome replied.

 

InuYasha walked back to the hut beat up but dragging something behind him. Miroku and Sango both turned as they seen the man dragging a large fire rat behind him.

“That thing's a fire rat?” Sango stammered.

“Yeah, it is.”

“That's one big rat!” Miroku exclaimed. The beast was brown as wide as one horse, and fangs of a tiger. The back all plated with rough fur and needles almost like a porcupine's quills. The belly seemed to be uncovered, the claws were large, and the tail looked to be about like a normal rats.

“You look like you about lost the battle with that thing.”

“Feh, its nothing but a set of scratches.” InuYasha said as he started taking a knife and starting to skin it.

“Will also provide a lot of meat for a while so hunting won't be something to worry about.” They nodded still staring stunned at this creature.

“I see you finished the first layer as soon as we have fur up we'll be able to put the next in and get the fire places in that way I can start getting the rest of the stuff together.” They nodded. Unbelieving on how different the hanyou had become in the past couple years.

 

“Rin, dear. Are you in there?” Nana called in.

“Yes I am, what would you need milady”

“I was just worried you haven't been outside the room in the last few days and was wondering why?”

“Just haven't felt like going out that's all.” The elder Inu eyed her

“You know that Lord Sesshoumaru wants you to be outside once in a while through out the day right.

“Yes but I just don't feel like being out right now.”

“And why is that?”

“Just don't want to May I just rest?” The girls plead.

“No Rin,” the voice from around the other side of the door called out. She turned Sesshoumaru was standing there.

“You are to go outside right now, the girl whined at this but did get up and moved as slow as a child could as if she was going to the worst type of death there was. As soon as she was outside she just sat in the grass.

“Nana, try and get it out of her because that is not her normal behavior.”

“Might you try something milord.” He eyed the woman. “How long has she been with you?”

“Over two years why?”

“Maybe her heart is just crying out for something more then just being friend or ward. You know for a fact while a friend is good for a child, a parent is better. Maybe that's her problem maybe she's longing for that.”

“This Sesshoumaru does not,…”

“If you didn't care for her you would have left her with the first village you came to not just let the girl tag along as you have.” Sesshoumaru glared at the old woman before getting up and walking away.

“Or are you to scared to share your true heart with the child?” the demon lord turned around in a flash.

“I do not fear anything.” Sesshoumaru growled.

“Perhaps its an old memory that's causing you to stop your heart.”

“Silence Nana, I have given you your task.” He said and with that Sesshoumaru disappeared down the hall.
