Chapter 8: Assistance Part 2
"Kouga! Kagome gasped remembering he was the only one left with jewel shards.
""What is it now wench?" Sesshoumaru asked briskly.
Now she was giving him the repulsive stare.
"I have no problem giving you respect or following your rules, but the least you can do is call me by my name, Kagome. Ka-go-me!" she steamed out.
Sesshoumaru was unnerved by her plea, but he stood up and grabbed her roughly by the arm.
"What are you doing?" she yelped as he pulled her inches away from his face.
"Do you take me as a joke? What makes you think that I won't kill you?" he said blandly, searching her eyes for fear but saw none.
Kagome's heartbeat sped up, his closeness being the cause. Many thoughts and feelings stirred within her none containing fear yet she became speechless.
`If he wanted to kill me I would be dead by now.' she convinced herself.
Kagome pulled herself out of his grasp and sat back down on the bench.
"Naraku got the shards from Kouga-kun, that's the only way he could have shards at all. He can't be that strong though, it's only three shards." she went on as if nothing happened.
Sesshoumaru squint his eyes at her hiding his confusion. He ignored the small quarrel as well and sat to listen.
"I'm sure he will return for these other shards but he'll be no match for you, right?" she said snidely no longer afraid of his threats.
"Juubun wench, obviously you wish for me to lock you away."
She rolled her eyes and turned her head away for a second time. She was sure he all bark and no bite………for the time being.
He stared at her in disbelief of her rudeness.
Right before Sesshoumaru could respond to her incompetence his toad like servant, Jaken, came running toward him waving his two-headed staff frantically.
"Master Sesshoumaru," Jaken huffed when in earshot, "It is your ward. She has become very ill. She wishes to see you." He continued bowing to his Lord.
"Follow me, wench." Sesshoumaru said without hesitation.
Kagome let out a low growl but followed him to Rin's room door, which was only two doors away from her own.
Sesshoumaru entered his ward's room with Kagome close behind him. He smelled but sickness in the room, the closer he got to Rin's bed the stronger the stench got.
"Milord" whispered a young servant standing next to Rin's bed, "we have tried all of our remedies, but nothing will sustain her fever."
"Fluffy-sama?" a small voice croaked out from beneath the covers, "Rin don't feel so good." her head peeked out and she let out a hoarse cough.
Kagome contained her giggle for the nickname given to the taiyoukai by his ward, so she composed herself well due to the seriousness of the situation.
"Her sickness stinks more than just a fever. When did it first come to your attention, Jiki?" He asked the young pale servant.
"This morning Milord………I did not inform you right away because I thought I could heal her." Jiki responded shaking with fear, unsure of how her Lord would react to his late notice.
"Rin will feel better soon, right Fluffy-sama." Rin squeaked out.
Sesshoumaru looked at his ward, her hair was ruffled, she was sweaty and she was covered with small dark spots, he had never seen someone so sickly not even a human.
Kagome saw a flicker of emotion in the taiyoukai's amber eye's as he gazed at the young sick Rin.
She stepped forward to take a look at Rin herself she recognized the sickness immediately.
"I can help her but it will take awhile for her to recover. It would be best for you to stay away from her because she is most likely contagious." Kagome said in a professional tone.
Sesshoumaru swung his head around and stared at Kagome questionably.
She met his gaze and continued, "I will need some dry and wet cloth, and water and I will gather her some herbs for her tonight. She seems to have the measles, nothing drastic but without the proper care she can get worse."
"How do you know this?" Jiki asked impressed by the miko's knowledge.
"Where I come from young children get this disease but it is curable." Kagome responded.
Sesshoumaru peered at his servant and said, "Jiki get her what she needs and then leave her to care for Rin but," turning his head to Kagome he stated, "If she get worst that will be your life………Kagome."
Kagome was in total shock, neither by his threat nor by his trust in her to care for Rin alone but by him using her name.

Sango, Miroku, Shippou and Kirara sat quietly around a small campfire. Inuyasha left them claiming he needed sometime to himself and that he would be beck by sunrise
Shippou was slowly slipping into a deep depression for his surrogate mother. Even though Sango and Miroku were there he still felt alone.
Inuyasha kept his distance from the group and Shippou couldn't understand why.
Sango didn't tell Miroku or Shippou anything, no matter how much Miroku persisted her to, she would always dent that she knew anything at all.
She grew worried for the kitsune. He didn't speak much anymore, only to request Miroku to make a prayer for Kagome's well being. She had never seen him so dejected.
Miroku was angry, saddened and confused. The whole journey had been silent with much tension between himself and Sango along with Sango and Inuyasha, if Inuyasha was ever around.
He felt he had a right to know about what's going on and he knew things weren't right, other than Kagome leaving with the Western Lord.
"Shippou-chan do you wanna go for a swim before be?" Sango asked hoping to somewhat lift the kitsune's spirits.
"Iie, I would to sleep now. Good night." he answered sullenly while turning away from the fire and curling into a tight ball.
Sango sighed sluggishly. In all of her attempts to cheer up the kitsune, he would never comply.
"Miroku," she said quietly, "I'm worried about Shippou-chan, he's never been this sulky."
"I am as well Lady Sango, but it might be best for us to let him be. He knows we're here for him." he responded confidently.
Sango nodded and prepared an area for her to lay and rest. Miroku remained sitting by the fire with his eyes closed listening intently for any unwanted company.

"Inu-chan you're not worried about that human girl, are you?" said an indecent Riomi while snuggling closer into Inuyasha's lap. They sat on a thick branch in a tall try far from the others.
"Feh, the only reason why I'm going after the wench is because she has the jewel with her." He growled, softly wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Are you sure nothing went on with you two because that day she found us together she seemed furious." Riomi asked looking up at him like a young child expecting an answer to an unknown question of `why?'.
"You know how humans are with their confused feelings. She just got the wrong idea about how I felt about her." Inuyasha assured nuzzling her neck softly.
She cooed softly as her ears slightly twitched and stated, "If I help you regain possession of the jewel and get the girl back from Sesshoumaru, I'm positive that he will try and kill me just as before. Do you not notice the scar he has left me to bear for the rest of my life?" she pointed to the crescent shaped scar on her right cheek.
"Of course I notice it," he snickered, "he left the royal mark permanently purposely, but don't worry he wont touch you. I'll be right their with you."
"What will your human companions think if I just appeared?" she asked.
"Don't worry about it ok." he answered, lightly leaning his head back against the tree bark.
They both fell silent and gently drifted into a deep slumber.
