Chapter Eight

So chaotic


Beads of sweat formed on the doctor's forehead as she tried to keep her eyes from connecting with her boss's piercing glare of molten gold. It was almost noon, it being eleven thirty right now and the Taiyoukai wanted to know why his wife wasn't stirring yet to consciousness. The medicine's effect to her body should be wearing off by now. She had taken her off the magnesium sulfate a few hours ago, but unfortunately her boss wasn't a patience youkai when it came to Kagome's welfare. Taking in a deep breathe to calm her nerves she shifted into her professional doctor mode.

"Kagome's condition has improved considerably since her cervix has completely closed, so there is no danger. All she needs is rest." Ami drawled out in as smooth a voice as she could muster without stuttering. The Taiyoukai's demeanor changed completely, from tense to slightly relaxed. The sudden lax of his shoulders told her more or less. His glare had lessen somewhat and that had made Ami sighed out mentally in relief.

Good, she was safe. But what about their pup, how was their pup doing?

"What about the pup?" He asked with his voice not losing its sternness. Ami raised a brow at the mention of the 'pup', she looked confused before she realized that he was referring to the child. "Oh, t-the child is fine." She told the Taiyoukai quickly and he seem pleased with the news. "Is there anything else I should know?" Sesshomaru told the female doctor, who stiffened slightly before composing herself. It had only lasted a fraction of a second, but the Taiyoukai caught it with his superb sight. He narrowed his eyes is suspicion and went to inquire about it when a scream from his little wife's room caught his immediate attention.

Ami's eyes widen at the scream and she quickly followed behind her boss into Kagome's room, where she saw her friend about to collapse onto the floor, taking the blankets with her as well as the pillows. Luckily, Sesshomaru had caught her before she hit the hard floor with his demonic speed. If that were to have happened the baby would have been in trouble. Ami quickly went over to Kagome's side and noticed that her eyes were closed and her brows were set fearfully.

The room felt different to the doctor and she felt the hardening of her skin underneath her white lab coat. It shouldn't be this cold in here.

"Sesshomaru! Help me!" The miko cried out as she began to beat at the Taiyoukai holding her down. Sweat soaked her form, drenching her long hair to her skin. "Put her on the bed and restrain her carefully." Ami directed with urgency. Sesshomaru placed Kagome on the hospital bed and tried to restrain her without harming her. The room was radiating with both holy and dark energies.

What had happened in here?

Her skin was burning hot against his cool alabaster skin and he made sure to let Ami know. "She's burning up with fever, do something." He growled out almost angrily. Ami flinched at his growl and quickly ran out the room for packs of ice and assistants.

When Dr. Wakanaba left the room, the Taiyoukai struggled to keep his wife from burning him with her purification powers. "Kagome, I'm here." He told her while attempting to restrain her wrists.

Kagome thrashed against the bed and against the shadowy phantom that was holding her with all her might. The phantom was holding her down and wouldn't let her go. Opening her eyes, she glared at the person restraining her with anger. All she could were dark shadows and immediately the need to protect herself took over and she began to expel her purifying aura from within her soul.

Sesshomaru hissed painfully as his little wife began to burn him with her holy powers. It stung like hell's burning flames, but he refused to release her. Sesshomaru's skin was turning black like the color of charcoal yet he still refused to let her go. She was endangering herself at the moment and their pup. When she had opened her eyes, he had been stunned and left speechless. Her beautiful emerald eyes were now completely black. Those eyes reminded him of two dark abyss.

What was going on?

"Kagome, it's Sesshomaru." He told her, but all she did was thrash around more. It seem she could not hear.

"Sesshomaru! Where are you!" She cried out and had managed to free one of her arms from him and punch him in the cheek. Sesshomaru hissed inwardly as her knuckles connected to his flesh, burning him with her purification powers. He narrowed his eyes and quickly straddled her hips down to the bed with his own. He quickly held her writs above her head with a bit more force, leaving her now completely immobilized.

He saw the glare she shot at him and concentrated on pushing her holy power back with his youki. He released his aura in small portions, enough to push hers back, but not enough to harm her. "Kagome, snap out of this nonsense!" He exclaimed through a growl and he had only succeeded in causing her to push back at him with more force.

He didn't know what to do and he felt...hopeless. Something he was not use to experiencing and something he will not experience again.

"Kai, Kuro Miko!" A voice from behind him shouted out loud with authority and once those words were spoken, several patches of dark mist slowly left Kagome's body. The kanji symbols that the Kuro Miko cursed onto her appeared on her skin and slowly evaporated with hissing noises into the air above the bed.

Kagome's body went limp and Sesshomaru quickly retracted his aura. He felt her neck for a pulse and was glad when he felt her steady heartbeat. He turned around to see Sakura at the entrance of the doorway with sutras glowing with spiritual energy in her wrinkle hands.

The dark mist that had left Kagome's body was now floating in the high ceiling of the room. He watched the dark mist carefully with narrowed eyes. "What is it?" He asked his great-mother-in-law. The elderly miko with narrowed eyes frowned at the dark entity, fiercely. "She is known as the, 'Kuro Miko', she was attempting to curse my granddaughter so that a miscarriage can ensue." She explained to her son-in-law in a grave tone.

The Taiyoukai's eyes widen at the information. 'Miscarriage?' He thought suddenly and quickly looked over Kagome's abdomen where their pup was nestled within. He opened up her hospital gown and growled when he saw one kanji symbol evaporating inches above her belly button. He dare not touch it and was infuriated as he slowly watched it regroup with the dark mist from above.

Unforgivable.


Sakura held one sutra into her hand and threw the others across all four corners of the room. Static energy filled the room and crackled with power, shocking the dark mist with intense pain. With that one sutra in her hand, she chanted feverishly. The spiritual energy within the sutra increased, making the sutra glow an electric blue. Once the sutra was at its peak she quickly bit down on her thumb, drawing blood and quickly spread it across the sutra.

The red blood quickly darken to a deep crimson. The black writing on the sutra absorbed the blood, dying the black ink into a rich dark red.

"Keppan!" Sakura yelled and immediately the black mist was being drawn into the seal, forcefully. The Kuro Miko was resenting the sutra's pull and unleashed all her dark power in an attempt to escape through the window. The force of the dark miko's power wave caused the windows to shatter into tiny fragments that clattered onto the floor in high and low pitches. The cold breeze entered the room relentlessly and Sesshomaru protectively covered Kagome's form from the chilling winds with his body. His entire body shielded his mate's form.

Sakura narrowed her eyes into deep slits as she added more energy into the sutra. "I don't think so, Kuro Miko, you have cursed my family for far too long. How fortunate of me to finally catch you in the act, neh?" She muttered to herself with a wry smirk.

The pull on the black mist became to great for the dark miko to resist any longer. In quick session the Kuro Miko was absorbed into the sutra, changing the entire paper into a prefect black color, hence the name she was known for.

Kuro. Prefect black.

With a prayer that the older miko chanted the sutra disintegrated into ashes that vanished into thin air before her. With beads of sweat forming on her forehead the worried grandmother brought her gaze onto the Taiyoukai. She wasn't sure if she had stopped the dark miko on time.

"Are they alright?" She asked with worried eyes and tint of fear.

The Taiyoukai looked over Kagome's form again and when he saw that she was fine he nodded his head. As he turned his head to look back at his in law, his golden orbs were blinded with white flashings of bright , annoying light.

Not again.


XoXo Sesshomaru and Rin Takahashi XoXo

Sesshomaru loves Rin...

...Rin loves Sesshomaru...

...Sesshomaru and Rin will be happily married...

A giggle erupted from her throat as she hid it behind her hand.

The clock struck twelve and the bell rang, signaling every student that class was over. The professor in the front of the large class quickly wrote down the last sentence to his thoughts about the workings of the mind. "Remember everyone, study!" The young man exclaimed and couldn't help, but grin when he heard groans from his students. They were so enthusiastic about their studies that it melted his heart.

He pushed his classes up with his forefingers and flicked his dark hair from his fair face.

Rin looked up from writing in her notebook and noticed that class was already over. She looked over the page and smiled lightly as she read all the little notes she wrote about Sesshomaru and her. Their names meshed well together. She looked over to her unfinished report and frowned. She was going to have to ask her Professor for an extension. Sighing, she packed her books into her bag and got up from her desk to head to the front.

While the students filed out of the room, the professor busied himself at his desk looking through the reports that were due today. "Excuse me, Professor Takaya, d-do you have a minute?" A soft voice asked and from the light stutter, the professor already knew who it was and placed his red pen down to give his attention to the brightest student in his class. "Yes, Rin-san, how can I help you?" He said in a smooth voice with a small smile on his face.

The brunette smiled as well and gathered the confidence she needed to ask him for that extension on her report. She hadn't been able to finish it this morning, not when she was running late. She had accidentally fallen asleep this morning in the shower after she had called Hojo. With slightly confident eyes she swallowed lightly before speaking her request.

Surely he would give it to her, right?

"It's about the report on human behavior that was due today. I-I didn't get a chance to finish it and I was wondering if you could give me an extension?" She said rather quickly that left the professor slightly raffled.

This was a first.

Rin-san had always handed in her reports on time. "I must know why it was delayed before I can grant you an extension." He told her with shining dark eyes. Rin blushed as she thought about her excuse. It was way too embrassing to tell her professor the truth. She would just have to lie then. "Y-you see, I had to work...the double shift, yes, that's right. I had to fill in for my co-worker since he's out sick. I hadn't been able to finish my report because I have to work in order to pay for college." The brunette stumbled lightly on her words and hadn't miss the way the professor had raised an elegant brow at her.

She was struck momentarily by his handsome looks and mused that he could have been a model if he had wanted to instead of a professor. His eyes were dark and mysterious yet at the same time held wisdom within them. His long hair looked soft, tied in its low ponytail that hang over his right shoulder. Why on earth would he ever consider being a professor with that face?

"Rin-san? Are you listening?" She heard his voice called out and immediately came back from her pondering to realize that he was very close to her face with his eyes piercing within her honey brown ones. A hot blush scourged her cheeks and her body reacted on its own accord. The brunette let out a scared scream and her hand, out of reflex, connected to his perfectly high cheek-boned face.

'Oh shit!' Rin thought as her eyes widen at the sound of flesh hitting flesh.

Professor Takaya's head turned completely to his left. His glasses had fallen from the sudden impact and had landed on his desk on top of papers, thankfully not breaking. Wide dark eyes slowly glanced back on Rin as he tentatively placed his hand on his now redden, stinging cheek. "R-Rin-san...I-" He started out slowly, but was ambushed by the young woman as she grabbed his chin and examined his face with a terrified expression on hers.

The Professor blushed at the sudden, less violent contact from his student.

"Oh, Kami! I'm soooo, sorry Professor Takaya! I-I didn't mean to do it. I just reacted without thinking!" She exclaimed and soon noticed that his entire face was now red. "Oh, no what did I do now! Are you alright, should I call the ambulance!" Rin asked not thinking as she went to her bag and searched for her cell when a warm hand stopped her.

She looked up from her purse with tears nearing her eyes. She was so screwed now. She had just slapped her psychology Professor. She was surely going to get kicked out. "Rin-san, don't call the ambulance, I'm fine." He assured her with a small smile. "I didn't mean to startle you, but you kept staring at me and didn't respond to me. I shouldn't have come so close to you. I apologize." He said sincerely. Rin looked down to her wrist at where he still held her, gently.

Her wrist was tingling at the contact.

She furrowed her brows and brought her gaze to her Professor, who realized he still held her and quickly let her go. "Um, you can have that extension of yours. You can hand in the report to me in three days that should be enough time." He told her as he took his seat and put on his glasses. Rin's eyes brighten up and she smiled happily.

"Oh, thank you, Professor Takaya! Have a good day!" She exclaimed as she left the large classroom in a hurry. As soon as she was gone Professor Takaya sighed out in relief and winced at his sore cheek throbbed. She had one hell of an arm.

He lightly touched his wounded cheek and a grin formed on his peach colored lips. Soon a warmth filled his chest and stomach, which made him frown at the realization of what he was suddenly feeling.

That wasn't good.


Just as Rin left the college she attended, her cell rang. She rummaged through her purse and opened her cell. "Hello?" She answered with a cheery voice as she walked down the block. "Hey Rin-chan, you need to go to the nearest radio, now! Their talking about the windows shattering from a room that could be Kagome's." Rin stopped and quickly looked around for a radio, but no luck, until she turned her head to the left. There she saw a television store and ran to it. The large televisions that were on display were stationed on the news channel and the brunette could see Tokyo Hospital.

"I'm watching it, did they say what caused the windows to..." She watched as they did a replay of the window on the fifth floor shattering outwards in a gust of strong wind, "...explode like that?" She asked curiously. "No, but there's a helicopter up there with paparazzi inside, who are taking pictures inside of the room." Hojo said slightly stressed out. The blonde was starting to freak out. "What if they take that million dollar shot, Rin-chan?" He asked worried, making a sense of worry pass over her body as well. She was counting on that all so needed money for college.

If they took the million dollar shot, they were all screwed, especially her.

"Did you call Akio yet?" Rin asked with slight panic in her tone. Akio was the one who came up with this crazy idea, so maybe he knew what to do to save it from being taken from them. "I called him earlier this morning. He was upset at the fact that she was in the hospital." Hojo began slowly. "He told me to keep him updated, but I decided to call you first since your school is closest to Tokyo Hospital. I thought that maybe you could...get in and-" Rin's eyes narrowed at the absurd idea that her blonde friend was suggesting to her.

"Hojo, are you out of your freaking mind!" The brunette's face had turned red from her anger and smoothly racked her hand through her wild hair. Rin let out an easy breath before she continued to speak to her idiotic co-worker. "Listen, I'm not going inside that Hospital. There are probably security guards surrounding the place." Rin told Hojo as she leaned against the wall of a building.

Hojo frowned and an idea suddenly came to him. "Your right, Rin-chan, especially since Sesshomaru is there you would have never-" Rin's eyes widen in interest and she perked up immediately at the mention of her true love's name. She interrupted Hojo's sentence to butt in, "Sess-Sesshoamru's there?" She asked trying not to sound at all too interested at him being there.

Hojo's grinned as he nodded his head over the cell. Wow, she really was obsessed over the Taiyoukai.

"Yeah, he's there. Guess you won't be able to meet him since you can't get in the hospital. Too bad, I'll just call Akio and update him, he probably has a plan already." Hojo said in finality and waited until he heard her protesting voice. He wasn't disappointed for Rin began to speak. He knew her all to well.

"Wait! I-I think I could get in." She said uncertainly as she looked down several blocks to where Tokyo Hospital was at. It wasn't far from Sakura College at all, but from here she could clearly see that the area around the building was flooded with people, mainly nosy reporters.

She could see the helicopter still flying in the air besides the large building. Her honey brown eyes wavered slightly before they harden in resolve. Sesshomaru was in that building and this was her only chance to meet him and get her own plan of befriending Kagome to work. This was a prefect opportunity. "Scratch that, I am getting in." She said in a confident tone that made Hojo smirk. "Good, just make sure you don't get caught and be careful. Call me if anything happens." She heard the receding tone as he hang up and closed her phone, putting it away within her purse.

She took one step before a thought assaulted her mind. What if Kagome something serious had happened to Kagome and Sesshomaru wasn't in the mood for pesky young girls who wanted to meet him? Her resolve quickly began to melt into nothing and she took a step back. The confidence she had in her eyes were now gone as she stared at the Hospital. It was too crowded for her to even get through the front entrance.

It would be hopeless.

"What am I thinking?" Rin asked herself as she wrapped her arms around herself. The bubbling sensation within her belly began to heat up as she blindly crossed the street. Her jealousy was returning again and she hated it. 'Why should I be jealous of Kagome?' She thought when another voice responded to her question. 'Because she stole Sesshomaru from you.' She furrowed her brows at the sound of her voice within her mind. So she had the right to be angry, right?

"I should have never picked up my cell and I should have gone to the cafe for a cup of coffee." She muttered angrily to herself as she glared at the black street pavement. "I still have to finish my report." She mused sorrowfully when a terrifying noise caught her attention immediately.

HONK, HONK!!!

SCREECH!!!

Rin's head snapped up quickly as her eyes were saw two bright white lights. "Watch out!" A voice yelled out towards her, but the brunette was frozen onto her spot as her arms protectively went to cover her head. She felt a sharp impact to her right side and a searing pain to the left side of her head before everything went black.


So many meetings in so little time. His older brother was going to pay for this torture, not only did he had to attend and lead meetings, but he had to go to lunch with these people. They only talked of their businesses for half of their meal and it was killing the silver haired hanyou...very...very...slowly. The hanyou's brow twitched as he tried to block out their monotone voices. Kami, no wonder Sesshomaru got along with these people. They all sounded so much alike.

Inuyasha glanced at his watch impatiently and sighed in frustration. He still had twenty minutes with them and he wanted to leave now. His all so thoughtful brother had yet to call him and inform him of Kagome's condition. He was worried about his friend and these people were just adding on to his suppress anger. 'I hate this, where the hell is Miyoga.' The hanyou thought as he let his golden gaze wonder around the restaurant. If only that flea was here he could have gone to the Hospital and check on his sister-in-law. The freaking Hospital wasn't that far from here.

He bet that little runt ran away. Just wait, when he catches that coward of a flea demon again he was going to squeeze the hell out of the elder.

"Hello gentlemen." A familiar voice said, causing Inuyasha's canine ears to perk up excitingly. Inuyasha's attention was brought onto two familiar forms. His parents were back. When Inuyasha turned around he saw his father standing there with his mother by his side. The Daiyoukai was wearing a black suit with a silver silk tie that brought out his stunning eyes.

"Mother. Father." Inuyasha said with a smirk on his boyish face. Toga brought his golden mischievous glance over to his youngest son and raised an elegant brow at the pup. "Inuyasha, shouldn't you be at the Hospital, supporting your brother and my darling daughter?" The Daiyoukai said in that charming voice of his. Izaiyo smiled as she patted her husband's arm and went over to her only son. "Come on Inuyasha, your father will take care of the meetings. Have a good day gentlemen." Izaiyo said politely with a bow before dragging her boy away from those boring men.

"I'm so happy your back!" Inuyasha exclaimed as he and his mother walked out the restaurant. The hanyou didn't waste anytime taking off his tie and opening up his collar button. Izaiyo smiled at her son's enthusiasm of her return and hugged him tightly. "You've been a good boy, I hope?" She asked as she pulled him back and examined him closely. He looked healthy. Just the way she had left him. Kikyo was doing such a great job on taking care of her boy. "Were you good with Kikyo while I was gone?" Izaiyo asked as they walked down the block to where her car was parked.

Inuyasha let out a nervous laugh before he scoffed slightly. "Yeah." He said almost too quickly. Izaiyo caught this and gave him a look. "Oh, really? Are you sure?" The long haired woman asked with narrowed eyes and a set frown. He knew that look on his mother face and he had to come up with something believable before she exploded on him. He didn't want his mother knowing that he and Kikyo had been fighting again.

"Ah...you see..." He looked across the street for some inspiration when he saw a woman crossing with her head down. His keen hearing heard the oncomings of a speeding car and a twisted feeling settle within his stomach. That car was going to hit her if she didn't look up and go back.

His canine eyes sharpened when he saw that the driver was talking on a cell. By the expression on the driver's face he was arguing with someone and didn't see the girl until he was a feet away from her. His body moved out of instinct. "Watch out!" He yelled out as he used his demonic speed to tackle the girl from getting hit by the speeding car. Izaiyo watched from besides her car in an overload of worry. One minute she waiting for Inuyasha to explain when she heard honking and yelling.

What had happened?

"Inuyasha!" She yelled out for and sighed in relief when she heard his reassuring voice. That driver, she noticed was nowhere to be seen. She furrowed her brows in disgust. If her son hadn't save that girl she would have been a victim of a hit and run.

"I'm fine, but the girl isn't, call an ambulance." He shouted as he looked down at the blood staining his hands. 'Damn it.' He cursed mentally. She had hit her head on the curve of the sidewalk and was unconscious. Great some hero he was. He heard the clicking of heels from his mother's approach and felt her kneel down besides him on her cell.

She closed it and quickly examined the girl Inuyasha had saved...and well, injured as well. She saw the crestfallen expression on her son's face and cupped his cheek into her hand. "You saved her from getting hit by a car, Inuyasha, she just hit her head and has a scratch. She'll be fine dear." Izayoi said in an attempt to cheer him up. The girl will be fine, she knew that much.

"B-But..." He stuttered slightly before sighing in defeat. His mother was right. Humans were so fragile to immense impacts and died easily from them. He had saved the girl from death that is what mattered. He looked back at her face and noticed that her eyes were fluttering open slowly. "Hey, are you okay?" The hanyou asked with furrowed brows.

The brunette whimpered in pain as she brought her hand up to touch the bump on the side of her head. It hurt like hell and it was giving her an insane headache. "Ow, w-what happened?" She asked as she stared at the man who saved her. Her vision was slightly blurry, but she didn't miss the mane of silver hair that flowed over his shoulders.

Her eyes widen in realization.

There were only a selected few of demons with silver hair. The Takahashi family males, but which one was she talking to? Her heart began to race within her chest and she felt her breathing quicken in an abnormal rate. Oh, Kami, what if it's Sesshomaru? No, he's at the Hospital with his...wife. Then it must be his younger half brother, Inuyasha.

The overwhelming feelings of emotions left her exhausted and she felt her eyes close on their own. She was tired and thought that maybe she could just rest for awhile before she went to work. "Wait, don't close your eyes!" Inuyasha yelled as he grabbed her shoulders and was about to shake her when his mother slapped him in the back of his head.

"Owww! Mother..." He whimpered like a wounded pup and retracted his hands from the girl's body. "Inuyasha, she's just resting and I don't remember teaching my son to shake an unconscious body, especially a woman's." She scolded sharply with narrowed eyes. They both looked down the block to see the ambulance approaching them. "Good, their here." Izayoi said with a smile.

The paramedics came out of their trucks with speed and approach the brunette's unconscious body. "What happened?" One of them asked as the other monitor her heart. Inuyasha folded his arms across his chest and frowned as he recollected his thoughts from a few minutes ago. "Well, she was crossing the street with her head down and a car was speeding towards her. The guy was yelling at his cell when he noticed her and beep his horn. The girl froze and I tackled her out of the way." Inuyasha said with furrowed brows as he watch the paramedics transfer her onto the bed.

"She hit her head on the curb and black out again when you guys arrived." He told them truthfully. The paramedics pulled the bed to the end of the ambulance and loaded her inside. "Are you coming?" The paramedic asked as he held the back door. Inuyasha blinked blankly before pointing to himself. "You mean me?" He asked with a dumbfounded expression on his face.

"Yeah, you." The paramedic said with a raised brow. "She looks to be about eighteen and would probably be scare when she wakes up." The man said and the hanyou was about to decline when he felt his mother push him inside from behind. "Go ahead Inuyasha and I'll meet you there." Izayoi said as the paramedic locked the back doors and was off.

Inuyasha looked out from the small back window at his mother, who was still waving before heading to her car. Why couldn't she have gone with the girl? Didn't all woman stick together in times of crisis and tragedy that has fallen upon their own gender? Inuyasha sulked as he sat on the chair besides the paramedic. He made sure to glare at the man for his stupid suggestion.

The ambulance stopped causing the paramedic in the back to sigh in frustration. "Those damn reporters!" He exclaimed as he took out his radio and complained to the security guards to make way. Inuyasha looked through the front and saw a horde of reporters and cars station around the entrance of Tokyo Hospital. This was a hazard, why the hell didn't the youkai security unit clear them out already. Taking out his cell he dialed the compound's number.

"Send in the wolves unit to clear out the the Hospital's ground of these pesky low lives." Inuyasha scowled as he shut his cell in a loud snap. His golden eyes were deep and filled with anger, but turned furious when he saw the helicopter. "Oh hell no, are they crazy." Inuyasha said in growl. Sesshomaru was going to murder them if they didn't get out of the way. Those paparazzi were crazy. They were signing their rights to live away by doing this stunt.

He wondered why Sesshomaru hadn't destroy the helicopter yet. His smirked when he saw long green whips wrapped itself around the chopper and inside before crippling it. The helicopter began to spin around uncontrollably before crashing into a vacant lock with dark smoke flooding out of the engine. The hanyou smirked when he saw the occupants inside scramble out in a hurry.

Inuyasha felt the ambulance begin to move again and noticed that the wolves unit was here and escorting the reporters out the premises. "Finally, I'm going to have to yell at Koga for his tardiness." Inuyasha told himself as the paramedic unloaded the unconscious girl from the truck and enter into the Emergency entrance.


Ice packs!

Where the hell were the ice packs!

"Where the fuck are the ice packs!" Ami shouted out frustrated and stressed out as she rummaged through the freezer for them. The nurses she had assembled were scrambling throughout the entire floors for ice packs. Of all days to run out of them...shit!

Ami took in several deep breathes before she allowed herself to think of an alternative. She could use the tub from the maternity unit that they used for water births. There she would fill it with cold water in hopes to bring down Kagome's fever.

That was a good idea, the only thing about it was that it will take half an hour to fill it up. Damn it! Today was not her day. Running to the front desk she picked up the phone and dialed the compound's number. A gruff voice answered it in irritation. "This better not be you mutt face." The voice growled out, scaring Ami slightly. "No, no...this is Dr. Wakanaba and I need ten pounds of ice immediately. The Hospital ran out of ice pack." She explained and was shock when the voice scoffed at her rudely. "Excuse me Lady, but what do you think I run here? I operate and deliver youkai to protect the Hospital and its occupants, not deliver ice." The demon growled back.

Ami's eyes narrowed and she tighten her free hand into a fist. She didn't have time for this, her friend's life was endangered and her boss was going to fire her if anything happened under her watch.

"This is a direct request from Sesshomaru-sama, his wife is running a high fever and we need to bring it down before she dies." She heard nothing from the other side and thought he was trembling in fear. Using Sesshomaru-sama's name could do that to anybody, but she was surely wrong, instead she had to pull the phone away from her ear before she went deaf.

"What! That dog turd had gotten my Kagome sick with fever! I knew he couldn't take care of her properly! I warned him before he married her! Don't worry I'll deliver the ice personally for my Kagome." With that the dial tone was heard, leaving Ami shock.

Oh, dear.

She didn't feel so well.

To make matters worse she heard glass shattering and a...helicopter?


Those wrenched pests, how dare they attempt such an act. The blinding lights had ended and the Taiyoukai's sight had returned to him. Angry narrowed eyes that promised pain glared evenly at the humans inside the helicopter with their instruments. They were reloading their cameras and the Taiyoukai needed to destroy them before they were leaked out into the media. The most they would have taken was him protecting his wife and Sakura at the door way filled with worried.

He quickly covered Kagome with the sheets, making sure she was covered from neck to toe and leap off the bed to raise his claws before him. The tips of his claws glowed green as he threw his arm back and unleashed his poison whip to grab hold of their cameras and melt them to nothing. With his other clawed hand he grabbed hold of the spinning propellers and melted the steel to cease its movement.

He untangles the whips and watched as the helicopter span to its demise into the ground. When the Taiyoukai turned around, he saw Sakura leaning over Kagome with a relieved smile on her wrinkled face. "She is indeed fine. The curse had not made its destination." Sakura informed the Taiyoukai with relief.

It was as if a boulder had been lifted from his shoulders at her words. This pregnancy deem him to lose his mind and sanity. And the worse part of it all was that it was just the beginning. They had the second trimester to complete and then the Third. It was going to be a long...long journey until his pup was in the world. The Taiyoukai couldn't help, but think how his pup will out do his adventures from within the womb from outside it.

Then he thought about all the stress that was to come.

Sesshomaru's brows furrowed in irritation when he picked up on the scent of Koga. What was the wolf doing here? Shouldn't he be leading the clearing up of the premises of his Hospital? Walking over to the bed he carried Kagome into his arms and felt that her fever had went down considerably, but she was still a little warm. He exited the room with Sakura behind him and waited for the wolf to arrive.

"Sesshomaru-sama, the ice should be here any second." Ami said fearfully from the front desk. He ignored her. In a whirlwind Koga arrived with packs of ice on his back. He dropped them onto the floor and had his eyes set angrily at the Taiyoukai. "Hey, dog turd, why does Kagome have a fever. You haven't been taking care of her have you?" The wolf demon accused with his right hand on his hip and the other by his side.

A few seconds later the wolf demon caught another scent on Kagome. His eyes widen in surprise before he stared at Sesshomaru again. "She's expecting." Koga started in a quite tone. "How could you let her come to this?" Koga asked with anger in his voice. Kagome was a close friend and he would make sure she was taken care of properly.

"Fool, I don't have to explain myself to you." Sesshomaru said with an edge to his voice as he held Kagome closer to him. "Don't you have a job to do wolf, besides irritating me." He added, which made Koga snarl lightly. "I am doing my job, it seems you have to hire better doctors. What Hospital doesn't have ice packs?" He said while folding his arms across his chest.

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes deeply at the insult. He looked over to Dr. Wakanaba and saw that the woman was shaking in fear and pale in color. "Is the premises cleared?" Sesshomaru asked not wanting to get in a fight with the wolf. Koga nodded and unfolded his arms. "Those reporters are persistent, annoying bugs." The wolf commented as his gaze landed on Kagome's form once again. "How is she doing now?" He asked concerned and with furrowed brows.

The Taiyoukai brought his gaze down to Kagome and sighed inaudibly. "My granddaughter is fine, she just needs to rest...at her home." Sakura pointed out. "Isn't that right, Dr. Wakanaba?" The elderly miko asked with a raised bushy brow. The distressed woman immediately nodded. "That is the best type of medicine, just make sure she doesn't get up from bed for a week and make an appointment with her OB for a check up." Ami ordered tiredly.

The idea was acceptable and Sesshomaru prepared to leave. Looking at Koga he pressed the elevator button. "I want a unit surrounding the mansion 24/7, by the time I get there." With that the elevator doors opened and he entered inside with Sakura.

Ami and Koga watched as the doors closed.

Koga had commanded one of his units to there home already. Dropping the radio communicator back to his side he looked over to the pale doctor. "You should take a vacation, you don't look well." He commented before leaving as well.

Ami just stared at the wolf with a dumbfounded look. "No shit." She replied as she stood up. Her beeper began to vibrate and she let out a long whine. "Why me?" She asked herself. Kagome usually got all the calls, but now that she was out she had to take them now. Running to the elevator she picked her hair up in a high ponytail.

Today was going to be a long one and it wasn't even 1:00 pm yet.
