Okay so I'm back. I'm sorry that I take really long hiatus's but this one was kind of needed. So here's another chapter to my story I hope you all in enjoy. Thanx!

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

 

 

Sesshomaru felt like shit that was the only way he could describe what he was feeling. His head hurt, his body ached, and he could stop scratching for the live of him.

 

Lying in bed for a few more moments Sesshomaru contemplated his sudden illness. “Must be some 24 hour bug.” He said aloud as he stood clad in only a pair of gray sweats, and made his way to the bathroom.

 

Lifting the toilet seat after situating himself he proceeded to do his business. After his much need morning piss he walked over to the sink bending a little to wash his hands, making a grab for his toothbrush he applied his toothpaste, and stuck it in his mouth.

 

He brushed his teeth and rinsed before straightening out his lean body and looking at his reflection in the medicine cabinet mirror.

 

Dots. Itching dots. He thought with dismay then all of the sudden a conversation he and Inuyasha had came back to him.

 

 

"Damnit I told you to stop scratching at them they'll only get worse!"

 

Inuyasha pouted. "Have you ever had the chicken dot's?"

 

Sesshomaru frowned down at his son. "Pox." He corrected gently as he lifted Inuyasha into his arms. "And no I haven't."

 

"Then how would you know if they'll get worser?" He asked childishly as he continued to scratch.

 

"Kid, worser isn't a word, and I just know."

 

 

He never thought that conversation would come back to bite him in the ass. Suddenly he felt worse. “Maybe I should lie down.” He said aloud to no one in particular soon his words were followed by a soft thud. He didn't even notice he was falling until the darkness engulfed him.

 

And that is how Rin found him nearly 2 hours later.

 

***

 

Rin awoke to the sound of snoring in her ear. Rolling over she wasn't too surprised to see Inuyasha clutching on to her arm in sleep. One thing she realized was every time she visited was, Inuyasha didn't like to sleep alone yet the only time he had someone to sleep with was when she was there, because Sesshomaru was a no nonsense kind of guy. And in Sesshomaru's mind Inuyasha needing to sleep in someone's bed with somebody was nonsense.

 

Getting more comfortable with Inuyasha in her arms she looked him over noting that he was no longer covered in dots, and that his fever had broken.

 

His little body stirred against hers, and once he was comfortable again his sighed. “Rin?”

 

“Yeah Chief?

 

“I'm hungry.” He said.

 

And the sure sign to recovery is what? Hunger! Oh yeah complaint too but that's another story.

 

On there way to the Kitchen they decided to stop in and asked Sesshomaru if he wanted anything.

 

But the last thing Rin expected was to find an unconscious Sesshomaru.

 

 

“Oh Dear…” She said aloud.

 

***

 

Sesshomaru groaned as he was coming to. The brightness of the room prompted him to ask. “Am I dead?”

 

“Nope Daddy, just sick.” He heard a childish voice answer. “Like I was.”

 

Sesshomaru recognized Inuyasha's voice immediately and took some comfort in the high yet unmistakable sound.

 

Trying to sit up he wasn't too surprised when he felt the gentle pressure of a feminine hand urging him to lie back down. “Not so fast cowboy.” Came the husky yet melodious voice that could only belong to one person…

 

“Rin,” He said. “What a surprise.”

 

She laughed the noise ricocheted of the white wall's making him feel surround by her voice. “You shouldn't be surprised.” She commented absently. “After all I have been residing in your home for sometime now taking care of Inuyasha.”

 

He nodded knowing that for that reason alone she was bound to find him passed out on the bathroom floor.

 

“So how do you feel?” She asked genuine concern alighted her features.

 

“Fine.” He lied, if truth be told he felt like shit. “So when can we get out of this place?” He questioned.

 

Rin smiled, but knew for past experience of his dislike of hospitals. “Your such a bad liar.”

 

Sesshomaru turned to glare at the small yet shapely woman standing at the bedside. “Why do you say I'm lying?”

 

“Because your eyes are glazed over with fever, your voice has been cracking, you have a temperature of 105, oh and you've been unconsciously scratching you chicken pox which you received from you very giving son, Inuyasha.” Rin exclaimed, eyeing him, missing nothing.

 

Sesshomaru felt everything hit him like a tone a bricks as she named off his symptoms. It became unbearable hot, and not to mention he desperately felt like clawing of his skin. All he could say was. “Oh.”

 

Rin tried to fight her nurturing side but it won out and against her better judgement she ran a soothing hand through Sesshomaru's sweat matted sliver locks.

 

On instinct his fever clouded mind moved toward the source of comfort. He open his eyes revealing a rather dark yellow color instead of the normal amber. “Why are you still here?” He asked. “Aren't you afraid you get sick too?”

 

Rin kneeled down with a sigh looking into his eyes. “Nope.” She replied in the same cheery voice as always. “Because I've already had them.”

 

Sesshomaru could feel his vision getting cloudy around the edges, he felt as if he were falling. “Are you going to leave?” He asked more asleep than awake.

 

Rin continued to stroke his head. “Do you want me to?” She queried.

 

He smiled which was rare, but it was a real smile. “No, I never did.”

 

Rin frowned wondering when and where his mind had taken him, but she calmly replied. “I'll always be here, like I was supposed to.”
