Love Sickness

CHAPTER 2

 

Kagome and Sango rushed Inu-Yasha to Kaede's hut as fast as they could while Miroku and Shippou stay at camp and watch over their belongings.

 

(For those who haven't check out the last chappie, it's because Inu is bitten by a youkai)

 

Kaede was preparing dinner when her companions told her to come outside quickly. She saw Kagome weeping and Inu-Yasha covered in blood.

 

“Come, child” She said to Kagome and turned to the guards. “You, carry Inu- Yasha inside quick!!!

 

“Kaede, do you think he'll be okay?” Kagome cried. “Can I come inside?”

 

“No,” Kaede exclaimed. “I'll have a hard time healing him now that he lost many amount of blood!”

 

“Does that mean he's in trouble?” Kagome was way out of relaxation.

 

“I don't know still!” Kaede said before closing the door. “Praying for him is the best you can do now”

 

Kagome sat on the wooden benches along the sides. She's really worried and scared at what might happen to Inu. If she had been fast enough to detect the youkai. This shouldn't have happened!

 

Hours have past and still Kagome waited. Sango tried to comfort her but it was no use. Kagome just ask her to head back to camp for she was sure that Inu would take long.

 

At last Kaede get out of the room. Herbs and blood were on her dress. The look on her face makes Kagome so nervous.

 

“Is he alright?” She asked so worriedly.

 

“Don't worry my child, He's fine!” Kaede said. “Give thanks to the Gods!”

 

Kagome hugged her in happiness. Once she though that getting rid of Inu was a good idea but because of things shared, she was really thankful that he was fine and is on his way to healing completely.

 

Just when she was about to go to him, Kaede went back and ask her something.

 

“How big was the youkai?” She asked.

 

“About 10-11 meters I guess?” She said. She wasn't really good in math and measurements.

 

“Oh, dear!” Kaede said with shock. “I speak too soon!”

 

“What do you mean Kaede?”

 

“Inu-Yasha may be strong and all but there will be a new moon tonight”

 

“What does that got to do with him?”

 

“He'll be weak to fight the remaining venom! If the youkai have been 5-6 meters, it would have been easy for a human. But in this case, I guess he should heal before he turn human or else...” Kaede's sentence hanged.

 

“Or else what, Kaede?”

 

“I'm afraid, he'll face a critical condition!”

 

“...” Kagome couldn't think of what to say.

 

She ran straight to Inu's room. Seeing him lying there as if sleeping made her feel a little at ease. But the chances of him healing worried her once more! Kagome approaches him quietly, not wanting to bother his sleep. She sits next to his bed.

 

“Oh, Inu!” She said tears filling her eyes. “You shouldn't always have to protect me”

 

Kagome reached out for his hand holding it tight. “I know you can hear me from your sleep.” She said. “Please hear me out, Inu, please wake up!”

 

She said this because she have studied in school that when a patient unconscious wakes, that means it's healing is progressing. And because Inu is a hanyou, waking up means he's fully healed.

 

Kagome fell asleep because of exhaustion. Feeling Inu right beside her makes her comfortable. When she wakes up, she came up with a decision she thought is best for Inu.

 

“Kaede,” she said asking permission. “Can I bring Inu-Yasha to my time?”

 

“What makes you think that's a good idea, Kagome?” Kaede said puzzled.

 

“Our time has high-tech knowledge when it comes to this,” she said. “a snake bite won't be hard. Please Kaede?”

 

“Okay” the old lady finally agreed. “What else can an old lad like me can do?”

 

“Thanks Kaede” Kagome exclaimed. “I promise to bring him back to perfect health”

 

Sango brought Kagome's backpack and bid her goodbye.

 

“I hope he'll be fine” She said. “We'll pray for him!”

 

“Thanks, Sango!” she said. I hope so too!” Then she jump into the well with the half breed dog demon.

Kagome pushed her backpack first and then she guided Inu-Yasha with one hand on his shoulders and another on his waist. She didn't bother to take the backpack first.

 

Kagome pushed the door forward using her body and carried Inu all the way to the stairs and up to her room. There she carefully places him at her bed for him to rest.

 

She got some water and towel cause she felt Inu's temperature rise. She also took a fan and some blankets. She decided to call up their family doctor but thought that that idea was wrong coz Inu was still a hanyou.

 

I'll just call the doctor when he turned human, she thought. That'll will be... this night!

 

Then she remembered her family. “Hey where are they anyways?” she placed the things down first and search for the kitchen.

 

“Mom! Souta!” She cried. “Grandpa! Mom!”

 

Then she noticed a small note on the coffee table. It said:

 

Dearest Kagome,

 

We're staying at your aunt for 2 weeks okay. She invited us over for the festival. Today is Thursday!

 

, Mom

 

“Oh, that must be Aunt Fumiko!” she muttered. “Thursday? Today's Friday that means... I'll be staying with Inu for long.”

 

“Ahh!” She heard from upstairs. “Kagome?”

 

“Inu-Yasha!” Kagome cried. She quickly gathered the things she placed down and run upstairs.

 

“What is it, Inu?” she asked as she step inside her room.

 

Then she noticed that Inu was still sleeping. His hair is turning black and his ears are disappearing. He's turning human!”

 

“Inu?” she said before approaching him.

 

He had already turned human completely. No ears, claws, fangs! She hurriedly called the doctor and within 15 minutes, he's there.

 

“Is he going to be alright?” Kagome asked.

 

“Yes! I'm one hundred percent sure.” The doctor replied smiling to Kagome. “The anti-venom is completely at work.”

 

“When will he heal completely?” Kagome asked eagerly.

 

“By six o'clock tonight, he'll be back to perfect health.” The doctor assured. “By the way, what snake bit him? It is quite different!”

 

“Oh that?” Kagome has no intention of telling that it's a demon! “I'm not so good at snakes. I didn't know what type it is”

 

“That's okay!” the doc said while gathering his things. “I'll better be going!”

 

“Oh, yes.” Kagome accompanied the doc outside. “Thank You so, so much!”

 

The doctor just smiled and gave a thumb's up sign.

 

Kagome picked up her backpack from the side of the well which she almost totally forgot. Then she hurriedly went back inside. Inu-Yasha was awake and was puzzled on where he was.

 

“Inu-Yasha?” Kagome can't believe he heals faster than what the doc calculated.

 

“Kagome? Where am I?” He asked. “What am I doing in this place?”

 

“You're in my room Inu” she said. She run towards him and put her arms around him locking him in a tight embrace.

 

“Kagome?”

 

“You were bitten by a youkai, remember? Kaede's medicine isn't strong enough to heal you fast and sure so I brought you here!”

 

“Did I cry out names when I was turning human?”

 

“Why?

 

“Cause my parents said that crying out a name when you're unconscious means you really care about that person. So did I cry out names?”

 

“Yeah!”

 

“Who?”

 

“Me!” Kagome started crying. “I don't want you to think I'm worthy enough to be cared for okay?”

 

“Please don't cry!” he said rubbing her back. “And, why shouldn't I care for you?”

 

“You see, I put you into so much trouble like being bitten because I was not fast enough to detect that shard!” she cried. “And you took it for me, if I haven't brought you here in time, you could have been in danger! And...”

 

Kagome was interrupted by Inu's finger. “Enough don't say another word, Kagome. You've done everything a person could probably give. Rest now my lady, rest now.”

 

Inu-Yasha said, then he fell asleep with Kagome.
