Summary: Sesshoumaru discovers the cause of Kagome's delirium.

 

Being used as a footrest, a slave and a pillow by a sick and delirious Kagome had given Sesshoumaru insight into his forgotten nuance of patience. The girl who was currently draped across his lap like a human blanket was fussing all over him, playing with his hair and nagging him about wanting to braid it.

 

Sesshoumaru had become nursemaid to Kagome; her medicine induced delirium coupled with her continual tugging of his long hair was slowly grating against his last nerve.

 

“Very well, you may plait it,” he relented, submitting to her questing fingers as they divided and sectioned off his long silken hair into manageable strands.

 

Habitually, Sesshoumaru pressed the back of his hand to her pale forehead to check her fever, her cheeks were blushing rosy and the flu that she had contracted at him was still battling with her body.

 

“Medicine time, Kagome,” he wheedled, anticipating the mulish reaction.

 

The temper tantrum she proceeded to throw exasperated but did not disappoint.

 

Finally convincing her to take her daily dosage, he frowned in recognition at the doctor's signature.

 

“Totosai-sensei?”

 

“You know my doctor?”

 

“Only Totosai could prescribe this insufferable medicine.”

 

He'd kill the old coot for this.
