Sick Day's aren't That Bad

Chapter 5: Rainstorms and Romance

"Oh great!" Kagome said, "The power must have gone out! I'll have to go down to the basement to see if all the fuses are fried, and it's past the time your suppose to take your medicine too" Kagome said, "What are fuses?" Inuyasha asked, "Fuses are what keeps the house lit, without them we'll have to stay in the dark the rest of the night" Kagome said almost tripping over a table to get to the kitchen, "Oh no you don't! You're not going down there alone!" Inuyasha said, "You almost fell over that table! How the hell are you going to get down the stairs without breaking you god damn neck?!" he asked giving her a stern look.

Kagome nodded, "Yah, your right, but I need to get a flash light from the kitchen" Kagome said, Inuyasha grabbed her arm and slowly walked her though the hall way of the house, a loud clap of thunder cut though the sky, Kagome yelped in surprise and fell over Inuyasha who was in front of her, "Inuyasha I'm so sorry are you ok?!" Kagome asked, "I'm fine never better…" Inuyasha said sarcastically his voice muffled from his face being squashed into the hall way rug, his face beginning to heat up from there closeness Kagome got off of Inuyasha trying to be gentle due to the red dots that covered the Hanyou's skin.

Inuyasha peeled himself off the floor and walked a little faster to the kitchen, they got to the kitchen and Kagome opened a cabinet and pulled out two flash lights, Kagome gave Inuyasha one and she walked over to the door that lead to the basement, she opened the door and turned on the flash light, the basement was pitch black, you could hardly see down the stairs let alone the nose on your face, "I'll go first, I can see in the dark" Inuyasha said, Kagome nodded, they walked down the stairs and to the fuse box.

Kagome yanked the door open and looked into the little box, "Darn! Every fuse in here is shot!" Kagome said pointing to the round burn out fuses "Is that bad?" Inuyasha asked, "Yes its bad, without these fuses we don't have no electricity, no lights at all" Kagome groaned, "Then don't you have any spar fuses things?" Inuyasha asked, "No, my mom was going to buy spar fuses tomorrow, since we used the last one today" Kagome said, "Feh" Inuyasha sneezed, Kagome giggled, "And don't think all the dust floating around is helping your sickness, lets get back up stairs" Kagome said, Inuyasha just threw her a look and walked over to the stairs before he was hit with a sneezing fit.

When they finally got back up stairs they went to Kagome's room and Kagome gave Inuyasha his very long over due dose of medicine, Inuyasha was sprawled out on her bed "It looks like your Demon healing ability is finally kicking in, see a lot of the blisters are starting to scab up" Kagome said looking at the Hanyou's arm, Inuyasha was glowing red from her closeness, <Damn! Too close, too close WAY TO CLOSE!>, Kagome looked up at him, "But your fever seems to only have gone down a little, your face is awful flush" Kagome said moving closer to get a better look at Inuyasha's red face, Inuyasha could feel his face heating up more, "Um…yah the fever that's what it is" backing away a little, he could hear that annoying inner voice of his snickering.

"You must have had a nasty case of Chicken pox, for it to take this long for your healing ability to kick in…" Kagome said looking out the window, she looked at her clock, <Good thing it's Spring Brake, its really late…> Kagome thought, she stood there for a few minutes daydreaming and looking out the window, she was soon brought out of her thoughts when Inuyasha yawned, Kagome looked at him and giggled, he had even yawned like a dog with the way his tongue curled, <Normally its me who gets tired first not him, must be because he's sick…> Kagome though, "You should get some rest" Kagome said getting her study books out, she wanted to try and get the pile of homework her teachers had given her for the break at least half way done before she got farther into the week off, evil teachers and there darn homework.

"Feh, I'm not tired" Inuyasha said biting back another yawn, Kagome sighed, "Your not going to get better without enough rest…" Kagome said looking at the first problem in her book, "Feh" was his only reply, Kagome sighed again giving up and turned her attention to her work, she had spent only five minutes on her work before she thought of something and turned around, "Hey Inuyasha…" she stopped in mid sentence, Inuyasha was laying on her bed asleep, <This is like the last time…> Kagome though remembering that day, Inuyasha had come over to her house when she was at school, her mother asked him to bring her, her lunch, after eating half of it that is, later that day he had fallen asleep on her bed, and the next morning she failed her test because of lack of sleep.

<At least this time it didn't involve him running into my room naked…> Kagome thought blushing, she decided to just skip the homework since it was late, she put her books away and went into the bathroom to change into her night cloths, and brush her teeth, she went back into her room and looked out the window, rain was coming down so hard you couldn't even see though it any more, <At least the thunder had died down a little since the storm started> she thought turning to the snoozing Hanyou on her bed, the last time this had happened she had slept down stairs on the sofa which she now knew was very uncomfortable to sleep on.

"Inuyasha?" she whispered, he didn't respond, "Inuyasha" she said a little louder shaking his shoulder, he just muttered something in his sleep and rolled over facing the wall, Kagome giggled a little and layed down after pulling the covers over herself, or what covers that Inuyasha wasn't laying on, she was almost asleep until Inuyasha rolled over again resting his arm over her and snuggling close, her eyes had shot open and blush spread on her cheeks, after she calmed down she looked up at Inuyasha's face, it was one of those rare moments she saw him relaxed.

When ever she saw him asleep he was up in a tree, he was never fully asleep just half asleep so he could rest, and remain alert in case of a night attack, he was always tense those times, ready to jump up and attack the second needed, <I guess he doesn't have to worry here, there are no demons in this era to attack him> she guessed, his face was calm and boyish looking, not the grumpy look he always wore, and his mouth was opened a little to assisted his breathing giving him a look of an innocent child, not the angry scowl that his mouth was twisted in all the time, the pink calamine lotion was still smeared on his flush cheeks but dry now, his golden eyes hidden under heavy lids, Kagome smiled and fell asleep.

A few hours later

Kagome awoke in the middle of the night to some one tossing and turning in the bed, she opened her eyes to find Inuyasha turning around in his sleep, his face was strained and tensed up in fear and his forehead was covered in sweat, <His fever must be breaking, and he must be having a nightmare…> Kagome thought, she threw the sheets off and hurried down stairs to the kitchen, she saw thought the window that the rain was now down to a light drizzle, she got a bowl and filled it with cool water and got a soft cloth and went back up stairs to were Inuyasha was now clutching the sheets with his hands, his claws digging in and putting rips in them, she dipped the cloth in the water and wiped his forehead, he growled in his sleep and rolled over to the wall and then rolled over again facing Kagome, as if he was fighting something in his sleep that was a great danger to his life.

"Inuyasha…Inuyasha its ok" Kagome said trying to clam him down a little, she tried to put her hand on his head to try a sooth him but at her touch he whimpered and turned away, "Inuyasha" she whispered, "K..Kagome" Inuyasha muttered clutching the sheets tighter in his fists, Kagome's eyes widened, <He's…dreaming about me?>Kagome thought, "Inuyasha…Inuyasha it's me Kagome your having a nightmare" she said running her fingers thought his silver hair, he whimpered again and started to settle down again.

Kagome sighed, she began wiping his forehead again which now felt a lot cooler then the last time she had felt it, she was about to pull her hand away to put the cloth back in the bowl when Inuyasha woke up surprising her, she fell back and knocked over the bowl of water, that woke Inuyasha up in a flash and he jumped up into a fighting stance, after having such a terrible nightmare it was normal to feel he was in danger after hearing a noise, "Inuyasha calm down its me" Kagome said picking up the bowl still looking at him, water was everywhere and seeping into the carpet, Inuyasha saw it was Kagome and sat down on the bed, a little tensed up.

"You…you were having a nightmare…it must have been from your fever…" Kagome said sitting down next to him, "You where tossing and turning a lot" she said, Inuyasha just sat there, <It was a dream?> he thought, he had been dreaming about Naraku, Naraku killing Kagome, blood everywhere, her blood, injured because he could not protect her, dead because he didn't get there in time to help her, another person he cared dearly for gone, the dream had been so vivid, he could smell Kagome's blood, feel her in his arms, smell Naraku's stench, hear him laughing as he mourned her death.

But it had been a dream, she was here alive, out of harms way, with him, he sighed, he looked at her, she was talking while trying to clean up the spilled water on the floor, she then sat down next to him again, <If that dream had been real, if she really had died…>, he thought drowsily, what every those red pill things were they made him awful sleepy, Kagome sat next to him after putting the bowl on her nightstand, the rain outside had long since stopped, the full moon was high in the sky, it was shining thought Kagome's window, the light fell softly on Kagome's face making it look like she was glowing, making her look like an angle.

Like she isn't an angle in your eyes? His inner voice said, blushing deeply at that thought, Inuyasha turned his head to Kagome, why is it that at times like this he felt like he was carrying at lest a million tons on his shoulders? Maybe because you keep trying to hide what you really feel?, that annoying voice asked, but Inuyasha was not really in the mood to argue with it right then, was he really in love with Kagome? He closed his eyes in deep thought, it seems like most of this started after the Thunder Brothers, when he thought Kagome had been killed by Manten's thunder attack, he was ready to kill someone that day.

Then that battle with Sesshoumaru, Kagome had gotten the guts to try and attack him with one of her arrows, he had stopped Sesshoumaru from killing her, and got a nasty hole right thought his chest, but it was worth it to save her, so much was his worry that Kagome would be killed in any battles to come, that he took her shards, and pushed her into the well, he even went so far as to throw a tree into the well, but she still came back.

Then there was the fact that she liked what he was, she didn't care if he was a Hanyou, that was a first in a very long while, not counting the fifty years pinned to the God Tree of course, unlike the villagers he lived with as a pup, Kagome accepted him the way he was, no one else had except his mother, it was being a Hanyou that got him chased out of the village as a pup, the day after his mother passed away of a incurable disease, and on the night of a New Moon, the night that he was human, they attacked him at his weakest moment.

Kikyo on the other hand, Inuyasha thought, Kikyo was just USING you to get rid of her job to protect the Jewel, why else would she tell you about the Jewel disappearing after that wish would be made?, his inner voice reasoned, that wish she had asked him to make, to become a full human, he could have helped her protect the Jewel as a Hanyou, but instead want him to turn human to get rid of the jewel, and get him to change for her, Kagome was different, she liked him being a Hanyou, she's said that more then a few times, with and without saying it, she said it many times.

His feelings for Kagome, they went deeper then what he ever felt for Kikyo, much deeper then that, <I…I do love Kagome> he admitted to himself, ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME YOU MORON!, his inner voice joked, Inuyasha was to busy blushing at what he thought, his heart was pounding in his chest, <What do I do now…>, he thought looking at Kagome who was looking out the window from the bed, How about you kiss her you idiot?, the voice in his head said, Inuyasha blushed deeply and swallowed hard, he looked down at the sheets of the bed, then looked at Kagome, he leaned over to her.

Kagome was sitting there looking out the window, she was brought out of her thoughts by something rubbing on her neck, and what ever it was making a soft noise and vibrating on her skin, Kagome reached her hand to her back, her hand brushed up against something furry, soft and warm, the noise got louder at that, she felt the object more finding that it was triangle shaped, <Is that…Inuyasha's ear?!>, she thought shocked, she turned around just as Inuyasha was about to lick her neck, but licked her lips instead.

Kagome blushes deep red and put her hand to her mouth, Inuyasha was blushing even redder then her, his eyes where wide and his ears where half drooping and half standing up, "Why…why did you do that?" Kagome asked, Inuyasha swallowed hard again, it was no or never, and Inuyasha was not going to stand for the second option in that saying, Inuyasha looked her in the eye, golden orbs meeting chocolate brown, and before the girl could say anything he wrapped his arms around her, cradling her in a gentle and warm embrace.

"Inu…Inuyasha?" Kagome squeaked, blushed heating her face more, he was not acting himself, first nuzzling her neck, then licking her again, and now this, "Kagome" she herd him whisper, nuzzling his nose in her black hair, she could feel his ears softly flicking from being tickled by her hair, "Kagome I…" Inuyasha choked, "Yes?" Kagome asked still a little dazed, Say it, or I'll make you do something stupid!, his inner voice said seriously, that voice could make him so something like that, it was his mind after all, "I…I umm" Inuyasha stubbed all over his words, the words weren't coming out of his mouth very easily.

"You what?" Kagome asked, <Why is he so nervous all of a sudden?> she wondered, she could feel that his heart was pounding from being pressed against him, "Iloveyou" he said very fast, he face had invented a new shade of red right then, he had a feeling the blush on his face, was spreading to his ears since they felt hotter, Kagome's eyes grew wide, <He didn't say what I think he did…did he?>, Kagome pulled away and look Inuyasha in the face, when she saw him the first thing that came to mind other then her question, was that his face was glowing such a dark shade of red, and radiating so much heat that he could put boiling lava to shame, even the pink inside of his ears where red.

"I…I…I Love you" Inuyasha said slower, glowing even redder if it was possible, Kagome looked at him wide eyed, <Did he just say that he loves me? But what about Kikyo?> she wondered, "But…you choose Kikyo" Kagome said, Inuyasha looked up at her, "Kikyo is dead Kagome, the Kikyo here now is not of the living anymore, made of dirt and clay" Inuyasha said nuzzling his cheek to hers then looking back at her, "Kagome its you I love, not her you" Inuyasha looked down at the bed, "Your more then a friend to me, much more" he said looking back at her, Kagome had the oddest thought that Inuyasha's eyes were glowing brighter then they normally did right then.

"So you don't think of me as just a Shard Detector? Or Kikyo's replacement" Kagome asked, these where things that she was often hurt with, that Inuyasha only wanted her around to get the shards of the Jewel to become a full demon, and if he had any feelings for her that it was because she resembled and was Kikyo's reincarnation. Inuyasha felt kicking himself in the head right then, why was it that before this moment, he was so dead set on hiding how he felt and always going between Kagome and Kikyo, that he would compare her to Kikyo right in her face, and acted like all he cared about was the shards, and always insulting her every minute of the day.

"Kagome…you are the total opposite of Kikyo" Inuyasha said, "She rarely smiled, and I don't really think we loved one another, if we really did then how would Naraku have tricked us so easily into thinking the other betrayed them?" Inuyasha asked and said, Kagome nodded that made sense to her, "You're who you are, you smile, your nice you beautiful" Inuyasha said making Kagome blush, "And your much more to me then a shard detector, when I'm around you, I feel calm, and you accept me for what I am and who I am", Inuyasha said, Even if who you are can be really insulting sometimes, his inner voice kicked it, WILL YOU GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!, Inuyasha yelled at the voice, it ran off laughing JEEZ! All night and day with that guy!, Inuyasha thought.

Inuyasha felt something wrap around his waist, he looked down and saw Kagome hugging him, he smelt salt in the air, <She isn't crying is she?> Inuyasha thought, "Kagome, please don't cry, you know I can't stand when you cry" Inuyasha said, Kagome looked up at him, she was smiling, "I'm not sad Inuyasha, I'm happy" Kagome said beaming, "I still hate it when you cry" Inuyasha said, Kagome just smiled and kissed him. Inuyasha's eyes opened wide, the second Kagome's lips touched his there was a shock that when thought his whole body, Kagome pulled back blushing.

"What was that?" Inuyasha asked, Kagome giggled, "It was a kiss, that's the way humans kiss" Kagome said, Inuyasha blinked and then got an evil smirk on his face, he wrapped his arms around her and returned the kiss, kissing her the way she kissed him, after what felt like hours to them they pulled away from each other but Inuyasha kept his arms around Kagome, he layed his head on her shoulder, he back resting against the wall, "I like the human way better…" Inuyasha muttered, Kagome laughed at this, "Your puppy kisses are cute though" Kagome said giggling, running her hand thought his silver hair, "Are you becoming obsessed with my hair or what?" Inuyasha asked jokingly, enjoying the attention she was giving to his hair.

"I like you hair, it so soft and pretty" Kagome said, "I think I'm more obsessed with your ears then your hair" she said rubbing a sensitive area in the middle of the furry appendages, hearing him purr, Inuyasha held her closer to him nuzzling her neck before looking deeply into her brown eyes, and kissed her deeply before holing her close again, resting in his lap and her head resting on his chest, sleep beginning to take calm there senses, Inuyasha kissed her forehead and layed his head on hers, "I love you" he whispered nuzzling her hair, Kagome smiled, "I love you to" she said snuggling closer to him and wrapping her arms around his waist, sleep finally taking hold of them, falling asleep in each others warm embrace.
