Chapter 8: Confusion
Kagome's POV~~~~~
I slowly gained consciousness. I didn't know where I was. What happened? The last thing I remember seeing is Sesshoumaru. Where am I? I opened my eyes and my vision was hazy. The first thing I saw was Sesshoumaru. I thought it was impossible, so I called out.
Kagome: Sesshoumaru-sama is that you?
Sesshoumaru: Hai miko, it's me.
I smiled. But where was I? I reached out to him. He held my hand.
Kagome: Sesshoumaru-sama, where are we?
Sesshoumaru: At your school.
'At my school? AT MY SCHOOL?' I sat up in shock. What was he doing in the school? And where the hell was I? If I there were beds in school it would have been much more comfortable sleeping in class, so what did he mean?
Kagome: What do you mean 'at my school'? You can't be here. Oh no! Do they know that you're here? How am I going to get out of this? Why in the seven hells did you come here anyway……… (*taking deep breaths out of exhaustion*) What happened?
Sesshoumaru: Are you done, miko? Or do you need some more time?
Kagome: Don't you avoid the question. Answer me now.
Sesshoumaru: Which one?
Kagome: The most suitable one for now.
Sesshoumaru: We're going back.
Kagome: NANI?
Sesshoumaru: Miko! Watch your voice. Know who you're talking to.
Kagome: Fine! No problem there. I'll get out of this situation and you can kiss your only way to return home a goodbye.
Sesshoumaru: Wench! Watch your place or my threat will become a reality. The shards will be good enough for my return.
My anger rose to a new level, my mikoki reacting dangerously to my emotions. The nerve of him to say something like that.
Kagome: Sesshoumaru, I'm not one of those fools who cover in fear when dangers come in my way. I haven't come all this way doing nothing. I face innumerous threats everyday and I have stood against them till now. What makes you think I'll back down now?
Sesshoumaru: Miko! Call back your mikoki now.
Kagome: Nani? Is the taiyoukai of the west afraid of a little miko?
Sesshoumaru pinned me to the bed with his claws.
Sesshoumaru: Miko! I'm not afraid of the likes of you. It is you who must be afraid. You know very well what I'm capable of. Just because I have spared your life till now doesn't mean I can't take it now. Call back your mikoki.
My mikoki was crackling in the air. Few glass instruments broke due to the radiating power. Sesshoumaru retreated his hand away from the raw power.
Kagome: Sesshoumaru, I have no reason to be afraid of anything because I have done no mistake on my part. But, you on the other hand, have. There is a reason behind my action, one you may not know the effect of, but know this- I respect you for who you are not your power or rank in society. I value worthiness not wealth. Before you think about punishing me for what I said, punish yourself for what you did. You're right about me not being as worthy as you. So, I won't judge you, but you can judge yourself, can't you?
Sesshoumaru was taken aback by my statement. I just wanted to yell at him for being so arrogant. But somehow arguing with him didn't seem like the best thing. Sesshoumaru was a man of reasoning and honor and even that was against him now. I didn't know what I was talking at that moment. The only thing I knew was that I was winning against Sesshoumaru.
He looked at me like never before. This time I was taken aback. He accepted his mistake. But that was not all, there was more.
Suddenly, he turned to the door. The nurse and the teacher entered the room. They were gasping at the damage done to the room.
They finally saw that I was awake.
Teacher: Kagome, how are you child? What happened here?
Kagome: Sorry ma'am. This is all my fault. No one else is to be blamed. I'll pay for all the damage once my parents return home. I apologize for all this.
Sesshoumaru: Will this be enough? (*showing a large gemstone*). I do not have your currency right now. But I'm sure this will do fine.
Kagome: Sesshoumaru! What are you doing? That has gotto be worth a lot of money. I can't let you pay for what I did.
Sesshoumaru: Kagome, take this as an apology from me. This is nothing compared to what you have done to me or what I can give you. So, let it be.
Teacher: Mister! Whoever you are, we can't take this. This is a diamond and probably worth a million, which we can't accept as payment for this small damage.
Sesshoumaru: This Sesshoumaru will not take back what he has already given. Now take it.
Nurse: Child, are you alright? You seem weak, you shouldn't move too much. You must have overstrained yourself. Did you study for any test yesterday?
Kagome: Yes. I did. I had to study for my biology test today which I guess is already over by now (sigh).
Nurse: you shouldn't overstrain yourself you know. Are your parents at home? I would like to have a word with them.
Kagome: No, they have gone out of station and won't be back for a week. So I'm staying in our house with Sesshoumaru.
Nurse: Alright then. Excuse me young man, but can I have a word with you? You'll need to take care of her so that she doesn't exhaust herself. I think she's putting too much pressure on herself. I'll be off then. Oh? I almost forgot your friends are here to see you. You're alright now. You can leave anytime you want.
Yuka: Kagome! How are you? I was so afraid when I saw you faint. Is it your brain tumor affecting you again? Oh you poor thing.
Ayumi: Kagome-chan, how are you feeling now? Did he hurt you? What's with all the glass pieces?
Kagome: No, Sesshoumaru didn't do anything to me. He's a…a… friend. This is actually my fault, not his and nothing happened really.
Eri: Kagome, is he the two-timing boyfriend that you always talk about? He sure is just like you told deadly and hot.
Kagome: No no, this is not Inuyasha. It's actually his aniki, Sesshoumaru.
Yuka: So, now your two timing.
Kagome: As if! First of all there is absolutely nothing between the two of us and about Inuyasha, he's happy with his ex. I don't care if he goes to hell with her.
Eri: That's our girl. Teach that bastard that you don't need him. You can always go with his onii-san, you know, at least to make him jealous and realize what he lost.
Kagome: You gotto be kidding. Me with Sesshoumaru-sama? That is impossible, not gonna happen in a billion years to come.
Ayumi: Kagome, who is he? He's wearing such an outdated, traditional kimono and he carries a sword around. And let me not start about the weird markings on his face.
Kagome: Anou…… don't worry about who he is. I live at his house…………that's where I'm getting treated, ya, he is the owner of that mansion. He's just helping me because I was his brother's girlfriend and all. Well about his attire, he's just traditional……about the marks, it kind of shows that he is from a large family. A noble you can say. Let's just leave that for now. I might not come again from tomorrow seeing that I'm already getting my symptoms back. I think we'll be leaving to go to his house for further treatment.
Out of the corner my eyes of my eyes, I saw Sesshoumaru scowl. He must have not liked this conversation, maybe it is because I told such a big fat lie. But was that the whole truth?
Eri: Hey Kagome! Do you know what happened to Hojo? I haven't seen him from the time when he left with Sesshoumaru to find you.
Yuka: Ya, he came to the class but I don't know where he went after that. Everyone were worried about you
Kagome: NANI? That's impossible. Sesshoumaru! Do you know what happened to my friend Hojo; you know who showed you where I was?
Sesshoumaru: Why do you care about him?
Kagome: What do you mean by that Sesshoumaru? He's my friend. Where is he? Please help me find him.
Sesshoumaru: hn! Come miko. We'll get this over now.
We left the hospital wing immediately, following Hojo's scent.
