DemonGirl-Setsuna: Hi there! Setsuna here!
Sorry that it has been a week and a half since my last update, but I had work-based learning for my class, and it’s kept me preoccupied from the computer.
Someone asked me; why hasn’t Kagome (Sakura’s mother) gone to the feudal era or something to that effect.
Well, the reason Kagome hasn’t gone or will be going, is because she is a responsible adult who has to work. She can’t just skip work to look for her daughter in the feudal era.
Besides, Sakura is 15 years old and capable of taking care of herself.
I hope that answers your question.
In other news:
‘Ritalin-writer’ is again single!
If you had read the closing author’s note on Chapter 9 of her ‘Chemical Romance’ story, she was bouncing off the walls from sugar and the excitement over getting a boyfriend who looks like ‘Legolas’ from ‘Lord of the Rings’!
Well, another girl stole him from Ritalin, and she was ONE unhappy she-wolf.
But she is over it now.
Though the guy is currently “secretly” cheating on the girl he left Ritalin for; with the campus slut, who thinks she is pregnant every other week!
Talk about two-timing!
Now, to get onto track.
Last time; Sakura’s plan worked!
InuYasha remembered what his sword is for and got a sitting reminder to not loss the Tetsusaiga while he is fighting.
What will happen now?

----------------------------------------
Three Days Later…
Sakura kneels on a river bank dressed in only her bra and karate-pants, trying to scrub the blood out of her kimono, the injury to her arm slowly becoming a patch of healing pink skin; not even going to leave a scar, thanks to the healings herbs InuYasha found.
She had her hair pulled up in a bun on top of her head.
“You are here alone again
In your sweet insanity
All too calm, you hide yourself from reality
Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty?
When all the world turns away to leave you lonely
The fields are filled with desires
All voices crying for freedom
But all in vain they will fade away
There’s only you to answer you, forever
I am here alone again
In my sweet serenity
Hoping you will ever find me in any place
I will call it solitude when all my songs fade in vain
Fly my voice, far away to eternity”, she sings to herself.
“Such a beautiful voice you have, fair maiden”, a male’s voice says, from behind her.
Sakura tenses up and glances over her shoulder at him.
The man had dark brown hair, dark brown eyes and was pleasing to the eyes, and his clothes told her he was a nobleman or the son of one.
She first did what any female would do when a man sees her half-naked, she screamed.
“What’s wrong, Sakura?”, InuYasha asks, running through the bushes towards her, his ears twitching.
He suddenly stops and turns away with a light blush forming on his cheeks when he sees her standing there with a broken branch in her hands; still only clad in her bra and karate-pants, and the young man unconscious on the ground with a giant limp on his head.
“Nothing now”, she says, slipping the still dripping wet kimono back on, “Let’s go”, she adds, walking past him.
InuYasha briefly glances at the young man on the ground, then follows Sakura.
-------------------------
An Hour Later…
“Hey Sakura!”, InuYasha calls.
“What?”, she groans.
“A while ago; back at the river, were you singing?”
“You heard me, huh?”, she blushes, “I sound terrible, didn’t I?”
“No, just the opposite”, he shakes his head, “You should sing more, if it makes you fell better about being away from home for so long”.
“Did you used to do that?”
“I used to sing my mother’s lullaby; the one she would sing to me every night, after she had died and I was left alone, with no one to care for me”, he replies, blushing.
“Good to hear, that you still have a soft-spot for your mother”, Sakura smiles.
InuYasha walks a little bit in front of her, looking at the sky, “Let’s find a hut quickly, it’s going to rain soon”, he says.
He is greeted by silence.
“Sakura?”, he asks.
Sakura stands there panting for breath, her bangs hiding half of her face, sweat dripping from her chin.
“Sakura…?”
Suddenly, she wavers and collapses to the ground.
“Sakura!”, he screams, running to her side and cradles her in his arms, “Sakura! Answer me!”
“Uhh…”, she moans.
He puts a hand onto her forehead, “You’re burning up with a fever…”, he mutters.
Her cheeks were fever-flushed and her face was drenched in sweat, and she was unconscious, her breathing coming out as heavy pants.
His hand rests on her shoulder, finding the kimono still damp and freezing cold, “No wonder you got sick. Your kimono is wet and autumn is approaching, plus you haven’t been getting any proper sleep these past 3 weeks. You shouldn’t have pushed yourself so hard…”, he whispers, picking her up off the cold dirt road, and holding her bridal-style.
Before he took one step to search for a hut, the rain began to down-pour onto them.
InuYasha just stood there with a sick teenage female in his arms, becoming soaked by the rain, his eyes closed and one of his eye-brows was twitching in annoyance, knowing he could do nothing about the weather.
He gently lays Sakura back onto the ground and removes his haori, then drapes it onto her to protect her from the rain, and picks her back up and starts running, looking for some shelter.
----------------------
Five Minutes Later…
InuYasha spots a hut built next to a stream, the scent coming off of it told him that no one had lived there in years.
He quickly slides the door open with his foot and walks inside.
There was a fire-pit in the center of the hut, shelves; with a few pots on them, was on the left wall, and a bed made of a pile of straw sat along the right wall.
He lays Sakura down onto the straw, completely thankful that his haori kept her dry from the rain.
InuYasha searches the chests and crates for a warm blanket to cover her with.
He finds one blanket without any holes, but it was covered in dust. He shakes the dust from the blanket; sending it into the air.
“Ah…ah…achoo…!”, he sneezes, he rubs his nose with the back of his hand, “Lousy dust…”, he curses, as he covers Sakura with the; now, dust-free blanket.
Sakura’s breathing was still labored, her fever-flushed cheeks had turned a darker shade of red.
‘Sakura…’, he thinks, as he brushes a stray hair from her face.
He takes a empty bucket and goes outside to the stream; filling it up, then heads back inside.
He finds a clean cloth and dips it into the water, rinses it out, and places it onto Sakura’s forehead.
“Uhh…”, she moans.
“Her fever is getting worst”, he whispers, “I’m going to have to make mother’s tea”, he says, standing up and heads for the door.
“Inu…Yasha…”, Sakura’s voice weakly calls.
He turns to find her violet eyes partially-opened.
“Yes, Sakura?”, he says.
“Where are…you going…?”, she asks.
“To get ingredients for a remedy to cure colds”, he replies.
“Be careful…”, she states, before closing her eyes again and drifting off back to sleep.
“I will…”, he whispers, vanishing through the door.
