Ch. 21
-------------------------------------
Sakura felt bundled up and warm, comfortably laying in someone’s arms within their gentle embrace.
“Sakura…”, a man’s voice gently calls.
Huh? Who’s calling me?’, she thinks, trying to look around.
“My poor daughter, you’ve caught a cold…”, the man says.
Her eyes focus onto the shadowed face above her, unable to see his features.
Dad?’, she exclaims in her head, she opens her mouth to speak, but a strained and tired baby laugh comes out of her mouth, ‘I can’t talk!
“I know your happy to see daddy, but you need to sleep”, her father gently says.
A squeak of protest escapes her mouth.
“You want a lullaby, I suppose”, he sighs, taking a deep breath, “Nen nen koroiyp okoriyo
Boyawa yoikoda nenneshina
Boya komoriwa dokoe it ta
Anoyama koete satoe it ta
Sato no miyage ni nani morata
Denden taikoni sho no fue
Sho no fue”.
(A/N: This is a real Japanese Lullaby!)
Sakura felt her eye-lids drooping as her father sang and soon she saw blackness.
----------------------
Sakura’s eyes snap open to find herself staring at the ceiling of a hut.
She could hear a fire crackling to the right of her, she slightly turns her head towards the sound and sees InuYasha crouched by the fire; stirring something in a pot.
“InuYasha…”, she calls, her voice barely audible to her hers.
His ears perk up and he turns to face her, his clothes were completely soaked.
“Sakura…”, he gasps, looking relieved as he moves to sit besides her, “How are you feeling?”, he asks, redampening the cloth on her forehead.
“Like I’ve been drained of all my energy…”.
“It’s to be expected, you have a really bad cold”, he says.
InuYasha ladles the brew he was cooking into a cup, “Do you think you can sit up to drink this?”
She nods as she shakingly sits up.
He hands the cup to her and she carefully brings it to her lips, sipping it.
“This tastes like tea made from the livers of chickens, boars and carps, and medicinal roots and herbs!”, she exclaims, pinching her nose, “It smells like it to!”
“How can you tell?”, he asks, perplexed as to how she knew.
“I had to eat livers from those animals before, a boar’s liver is juicy and has a kick to it’s flavor, chicken liver has little flavor, and carp liver is completely bland and tasteless”, she explains, after downing the liver potion, “Plus, you’re not very good at hiding the evidence”, she nervously laughs, pointing to the dead carps, boars, and chickens laying behind him.
(A/N: I don’t have any clue what the livers would taste like, I have never had them! I’m only guessing!)
“I guess I am not very good at hiding those…”, he says, scratching the back of his head as he glances at the carcasses.
“We have no choice, but to store the meat for later”, Sakura says, slowly crawling out of bed.
“What are you doing?”, he asks.
“I’m going to package the meat before it spoils”, she replies, then collapses to the floor.
“No you’re not, you’re still too sick to be out of bed”, he says, picking her up and putting her back onto the bed of straw.
“But…”, she began, but was silenced by InuYasha’s finger on her lips.
“No buts”, he whispers, putting a hand to her forehead, “Your fever hasn’t gone down yet, and you’re staying in bed till it’s gone”.
“You have no right to tell me what I can and can’t do!”, she yells.
“You need to sleep to recover faster, like your mother did when she was your age”, she shouts back.
(A/N: While he was gathering the ingredients, he had another burst of returning memories! Meaning he remembers making the tea for Kagome when she had a bad cold!)
A vein pops on her forehead, “InuYasha… Si…”, she trails off, falling unconscious from the pressure-point InuYasha pressed on the back of her neck.
“I’m sorry I had to force you to sleep Sakura, but you need to rest”, he says, tucking her in under the blanket.
“InuYasha…You dirty…Under-handing…Bastard…”, she mutters in her sleep, “So…Sit…”, she also says in her sleep.
“THUD!”, InuYasha is pulled face-first to the floor by the prayer-beads, as an act of revenge from the slumbering young woman.
InuYasha laid on the floor; completely dazed from the impact, before fatigue caught up tp him and he drifted off to sleep still in the position and spot he was pulled into by the prayer-beads.
