The Passing Love Through Time

To make it perfectly clear now and for all my soon to be posted stories. I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA OF ANY SORT!

*Anything that is written in Italic are thoughts of the characters*

Introduction:

It's been over a month since I decided to stay in the feudal era with InuYasha. Since then InuYasha and I have been happily married, and I have learned and gotten used to my new permanent life. Sango and Miroku have birthed one pair of twins since my arrival, giving them a total of 5 children. Rin is living cheerfully with Kaede, with weekly visits from Sesshomaru and Joken. InuYasha and Miroku are still a great team when it comes to there Demon Vanquishing business. And recently . . . it could be a little bit better around here.

(Coughs and vomits) "Ug, this is starting to get annoying." This was the second time I was violently sick today.

"Kagome, are you still feeling ill?" Sango looked at her with a concerned expression. InuYasha, who was a few yards away practicing with Tetsaiga, also looked behind him at his mate with a worried expression on his face.

"I'm okay." I said reassuringly. "Really I think I just probably ate something bad." I can feel InuYasha's worried expression on me. I don't want him to get suspicious.

"Okay~" Sango let it go, but InuYasha didn't look convinced at all. I picked myself off the ground and headed towards the river to clean myself up, again. I bent down next to the clear stream; I put my hands in and let the cool water run over my fingers before cupping my hands and splashing the cold water on my face.

I need to pull myself together! If InuYasha gets worried he's gonna go all frantic on me and try to interrogate me. And the last thing I want to do is worry him over nothing. And right on cue, I turn around to see InuYasha leaning against a tree with a serious look plastered on his face and worry in his eyes.

Kagome walked over to him and he kindly accepted her in an embrace that gave them both a warm fuzzy feeling in the pit of their stomachs. He kissed her on the forehead, lingering there longer than needed. Huh, hasn't got a fever, and she doesn't smell sick. But her scent has definitely changed. It feels like she lost a bit of weight. Then, there are the bags that are starting to form under her eyes. He pulled away to look at his beautiful mate in his arms. He could have sworn he could feel her ribs right through her kimono, with purplish rings under her chocolaty eyes. The wind blew her hair away from her face revealing the crescent shaped bite mark on the crook of her neck. This mark proved that she belonged to him and only him for the rest of eternity.

"Hey Kagome," InuYasha started, "what have you eaten these past couple of days?" This question surprised Kagome because now that she thought about it, she hasn't really had much appetite this past week. And this was before the vomiting.

"Um," she paused tapping her finger on her chin trying to remember, "I had some stew, and a fish." She finished.

"When?"

"What?"

"When did you eat?" She didn't answer. This was the question Kagome was hoping to avoid after doing the calculations in her head trying to date back to her last full meal that stayed in her stomach. She would be under 24/7 watch after he got the answer to the question. "Kagome." InuYasha's voice now had a hint of annoyance as Kagome played with his long silvery hair trying to avoid his eyes.

"Tum doi ago" she muttered. Knowing InuYasha's ears would pick up every syllable.

"What?" He gasped slightly staring at her in disbelief as she fiddled with the lock of his hair in her hand. She knew he had heard her, but she said it again.

She dropped the strand of hair she was playing with and shut her eyes as she blurted out "Two days ago". She kept her eyes shut, afraid to see his reaction. Her feet suddenly left the ground as he picked her up bridal style and started running and leaping through trees, all the while thoughts quickly running though InuYasha's silvery head.

I knew it! I knew she felt thinner! Maybe old Kaede knows of a disease that has these types of symptoms. But first thing's first I gotta get her something to eat and a place where I can talk to her in private. There are still some questions I would like to ask her, but later. He kept running for a while until they were at least on the other side of the forest when he stopped in front of a great oak that looked like it could be as old as the Sacred Tree or a little younger. He walked towards the tree still holding Kagome in his arms; he stopped a foot away from the trunk. She heard him sigh, and then she stared up at him. She couldn't place the emotion in his eyes before he had sat her down under the tree.

He held her face in his hands as he pecked her on the cheek, then pulled away and gave her one command before disappearing last seen running towards the village. "Stay."

She looked after him as the sound of his feet pounding against the branches and earth faded. He would usually start jumping straight to conclusions at this point, but instead he ran off. And that look in his eyes . . . Her mind wandered back to the image of his eyes. His eyes, holding so much emotion she couldn't even place each emotion that lingered in his golden gaze. She was so lost in thought Kagome didn't notice that she had drifted off into the most peaceful slumber she's had in three days.

xXx

In the meantime, InuYasha was running full speed towards the village and hopefully some answers to his questions.

Is Kagome keeping something from Inuyasha? Will the old women be able to answer the confused and concerned half demon's questions? What is wrong with Kagome?

Sorry to leave you on a slight cliffhanger. I wanted to get a little feedback on my writing so far before I continued the story. So please R&R!

Thanks so much! :D
