Weightless
Chapter 9: Eyes Are Everywhere Kagome
One Month Later…
Kagome has improved a lot in only a few weeks. Ever since she ate the food for real with Kouga, she began to eat more and more without pretending to dump the food. He gradually increased the amount of food from the smallest bowl to bigger ones and she emptied the medium bowl of soup that he gave her yesterday without leaving a single drop. Her daily weighing has showed constant improvement; she gained 12 pounds in 3 weeks! Inuyasha was so happy with her progress that he decided to stop weighing her since she didn't like stripping out of her hospital clothes every day. She also improved in her walking a lot and could now walk two laps around the hallways by her room before getting tired.
He stopped weighing her one week ago after she reached the minimum normal weight for a girl her age. He thought that she was cured of her problem and would be out in less than a month. This is a mistake because he said that he wouldn't take her weight anymore because of her improvement...
(Flashback)
Inuyasha smiled as he entered the room where Kagome was laying on her bed, relaxing after eating breakfast.
"Good morning, Kagome," he said in his usually cheerful voice. He seemed to have an extra bounce in his step, which he attributed to having successfully helped Kagome.
"Morning," Kagome said a lot less cheerfully, raising from her bed and getting ready to go to the weighing room.
Inuyasha's smile widened as he put a hand on her shoulder to stop her, "No, you don't have to go today. I am happy enough with your weight that you don't have to weigh in every day, I know how you hate to do it anyway,"
Kagome smiled as she watched him leave.
'It's about time!' she thought as she made her way to the door peaking outside to make sure he was gone.
She scampered to the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror. Looking at herself she made a face. She could practically feel the fat hanging off her body, it sickened her! Peeking outside to make sure nobody came while she was examining her disgusting and repulsive thing she called a body. She bent over the toilet bowl and got rid of her breakfast.
'That feels better,' she thought to herself as she purged her stomach again, attempting to reverse the damage that eating all that food had done to her...
(End of Flashback)
She was so glad that Inuyasha didn't have to carry her any longer…yet remorseful. She wouldn't be able to feel his muscular arms around her any longer…but now he wouldn't feel the difference in her weight so she could rid herself of the evil pounds she gained back.
Inuyasha watched slightly disheartened as Kagome studiously avoided her mother's scalding glare. When he attempted to talk to her earlier to comment on her daughter's progress, she gave him the same look; he did not envy Kagome in the least...
Kagome's mother just glared at her daughter…it seemed that she…hated her…why was her mother looking at her like that?
Inuyasha tried to complement on Kagome's success again.
"Kagome has finally been able to walk properly now. Since she has more strength she will be starting her counseling sessions soon."
Her mothers cold eyes switcher there gaze to Inuyasha, she replied with a nod then stood up and told Sota to stay in the room while she went to the restroom.
Mrs. Higurashi walked briskly down the hallway of offices, her heels clacking on the linoleum floor. She stopped in front of a door that read Dr. Naraku, Onigumo.
She placed her hand on the cold silver door knob and turned it. The door opened and she stepped in.
Mrs. Higurashi saw a man with long, deeply black, wavy hair, a pale sharp face and red eyes, look up from his computer and place the glasses on the brim of his nose on the table, and clasped his hands together.
"Hello Dr. Naraku, I would like for you to counsel my daughter. Higurashi Kagome.
Inuyasha let out a deep breath when Kagome's mother and brother walked out of the building. Man that woman had something about her that he did not like.
He walked back to Kagome's room to see her sitting on a couch in her room talking to Koga. He listened for a moment.
"Maybe you can eat in the cafeteria with me and a few of my buddy's today." said Koga.
Kagome looked at him with a bit of hope in her eyes.
"Do you really think that Inuyasha would let me?"
Koga waved it off.
"Of course he should, you deserve to."
He watched Kagome's beautiful face scrunch up in confusion.
"I do?"
"Sure you do! First you can walk, second you can hold your food down with little struggle and third, you've gained weight, and enough to stop your weigh-inn's"
'Oh Kami!!! Koga has noticed how fat I got! He even said so himself…I got to loose as much weight as possible without Inuyasha noticing…I cant believe I let myself become ugly again!!!'
Kagome was burst out of her thoughts when Koga covered her hand with his and squeezed. She looked up at him and he was giving her that toothy smile she loved.
"Kaggs," he said as he rubbed her hand with his thumb, "I'm really proud of you, for how far you have come, and how well you have recovered. I just want to let you know that I care about you very much…and I don't want anything to happen to you."
Inuyasha saw her blush then smile that beautiful smile he loved to see on her face.
"Thanks Koga. I care about you too."
A giant rush of jealousy burst into Inuyasha's chest as he heard her say those words. He took a deep breath trying to calm down his demon side. He knew he liked her more than he should…but why was he feeling this way? He can't like a patient…why her? Why Kagome? He treated lots of girls, but he never felt this way about any of them like this…why did he feel this way towards Kagome? And most of all…does she have the same feelings for him to?
Inuyasha decided it was time to make his presence known. So he walked through the doorway and put on a smile.
"Hey guys, whattcha doing?" he asked
Kagome and Koga looked towards the doorway and saw Inuyasha.
"Sup Yash?" greeted Koga.
Inuyasha did the guy nod of acknowledgement (A/N: come on people you know what I mean. specially girls! You know when the guy does the little nod that means hi or whatever? Yea that. Lol I love that, I think its so hot, hehe)
"Whattcha guys doing?" he asked.
Koga looked at the floor sheepishly, "well we were wondering if Kagome could eat in the cafeteria with me…meet a few of my friends and all."
Inuyasha thought about it for a bit. Kagome had seemed to not have a problem of keeping her food down anymore, he was happy with her weight for now, and he hoped she didn't take advantage of the lack of weigh-inns….he guessed she could go.
Koga and Kagome watched as Inuyasha thought to himself.
"Please Inuyasha?" Kagome begged.
Inuyasha looked at the pled on her face…he couldn't resist. It was too cute.
"Well I guess so, but you have to follow all the rules ok?"
Kagome nodded.
"Ok well you better go now, diner starts in 10 minutes."
Kagome stood from the couch she was sitting on and Koga wheeled his way over to Inuyasha and waited for Kagome to follow.
"I must speak with you," Koga heard Inuyasha's voice so low only a demon like him could here it.
He gave a curt nod.
"Hey Kagome you know where it is right?"
She turned to him from the doorway where she was standing.
"Mhmm" she answered.
"Ok just meet me there; I forgot something in my room."
"Kay" she agreed.
They both watched as Kagome walked down the hall then turn the corner, and then Inuyasha faced him.
"You do know why Kagome is here right?"
Koga nodded, "yes, her eating disorder. It's kinda hard to miss by the way she looked the first day I meet her…she looked so pale and…fragile."
Inuyasha let his eyes fall to the ground, "I know…and she has been recovering, but I don't trust her fully just yet. I can see it when she looks at her reflection. The disgust she has for her features…and that's why I'm asking you this Koga, to watch her, and tell your friends to watch her all the time too…don't let her go anywhere by herself after she eats, understand?"
"Absolutely," he replied.
"Good," he hesitated to tell him, "I can't let her do this to herself; it's just something about her…"
"Yea I know what you mean," Koga interrupted him.
Inuyasha nodded, he seemed to have picked that up from Kagome.
"Well you should go to diner, you don't want to be late, and remember to make sure she eats everything…make up a reason if you have to. Just make sure she eats."
"I will." Koga replied, and then started to wheel himself down the hall after Kagome.
(A/N: I could have so left it here but you guys deserve a long chapter, plus happy birthday to O-MegaLead! This is your birthday present. A long chapter like you asked for lol.)
Koga caught up to her just as Kagome reached the doorway of the cafeteria. He saw her turn on hearing his wheels on his chair creak every once in a while.
"Wow, know I know why Inuyasha calls you hot wheels."
They both chuckled and went into the cafeteria and took there place in line and waited to receive there food.
"Hey Miroku, who's that Girl with Koga?"
The boy named Miroku looked up from the lump they called diner and looked towards the line of people waiting for their 'food'.
"I don't know…I've never seen her before, maybe she's new?"
Sango nodded and tugged at her sleeves like she always did.
They both started at here for a bit longer, until Sango spoke.
"Just look how skinny she is…she looks so…frail and fragile. Do you think she might be bulimic? Or anorexic?"
Miroku didn't take his eyes off Kagome while he replied, "I don't know, but I do know she is a one nice piece of ass."
Sango whacked him upside the head with a book she was reading.
"What?" he whined rubbing his head, "I was just saying, but if she gained a little weight she would be one of a sexy-OWWWE! Sango!!!"
She just glared at him with her arms crossed.
Miroku sighed then encircled his arms around Sango and stroked her hair.
"You know I only love you Sango."
She finally looked him in the eyes, and saw complete honesty and warmth. She smiled then relaxed.
Miroku cupped her cheek then gently placed his lips on hers and felt her move her arms around his neck to bring him closer.
"Awe c'mon guys, can't you get a room to do that?"
Miroku and Sango pulled apart and looked up to see Koga and the girl they were wondering about earlier. Sango blushed at remembering what she just got caught doing.
"Good now that I got you mouth suckers attention, I'd like to introduce to you my friend Kagome."
"Kagome these are my friends Miroku and Sango."
"Hi." she said to them.
Sango gave her a smile, "why don't you sit down?"
Kagome did just that.
"Oh and you don't invite me to? Wow Sango you're really polite."
Sango just gave Koga a look, "well I would but you're already sitting on your ass."
They both laughed and started poking at there diner.
After a few minutes Miroku started to strike up a conversation.
"So Kagome you new here?"
"Actually Kagome has been here for about a month." Koga said for her.
Sango's face turned into a curios look.
"Then how come we haven't seen you?"
"Well actually, I've been 'recovering' as everyone puts it. I don't see why. There isn't anything wrong with me, and there is no reason to."
Koga's mouth turned into a firm line, Miroku and Sango noticed this.
"What do you mean Kagome? Everyone is here for recovering from a problem they have…"
Kagome chuckled, "everyone thinks I have a stupid eating disorder. I mean, me? An eating disorder? C'mon I'm to fat to have an eating disorder."
Miroku and Sango were shocked. Did they just here what they thought they just heard?This girl, Kagome, thought she was fat? This extremely skinny girl, where her cheek bones were poking out of her face? Was she crazy?
"Kagome, why do you say your fat?" asked Sango.
Kagome looked at them confused, "don't you see it? All the fat hanging off me?" she pincher her arm, "don't you see all of this nasty fat on me?"
Everyone looked at her arm, that was definitely NOT fat…it was pure skin she was pinching between her thumb and pointer finger.
Koga sighed. Inuyasha was right. They couldn't trust her. At least not yet.
"Hey Miroku I have to take a leak would you be my 'buddy'?"
He saw everyone look at him in confusion.
"Buddy?" Kagome asked.
"Uh yea, buddy, we have to have buddies when we go to the bathroom…it's the rules."
Miroku caught on to what he meant, he wanted to talk with him.
"Sure, i'll be your 'buddy'," he said then got up and started pushing Koga towards the bathrooms.
"Make sure she eats." he whispered to Sango as he passed by.
Sango didn't know what to do…what could she do? She looked at Kagome across the table, how could she make a girl who thought she was fat eat? And idea popped into her head.
She took out a tissue in her pocket and pulled out a small white pill. She briefly glanced at Kagome to see if she was watching. She was. Sango crushed up the pill with her knife until it was powder then sprinkled it over her spaghetti then mixed it up and took a bite trying to make it look like it tasted like heaven and not the crap it really was.
"What was that?" Kagome asked.
'And Bingo was his namo' thought Sango.
"Oh these?" she pointed to the pills in the tissue.
She saw Kagome's curious nod.
"There calorie purdgers. Put them in your food and they make all of the calories in what ever you eat disappear."
She saw Kagome smile.
"That's really cool…how did you get them."
"I have a friend that works in a pharmacy and she gives me some on visiting days."
Kagome gave her a sheepish look; "umm you wouldn't mind uh…" she trailed off giving Sango a hint on what she was asking. Her plan was fool proof.
"You mean if I gave you some?"
Kagome blushed and Sango took it as a yes.
"Not at all, why don't you take all of them? I have more in my room."
"Really? Wow thanks."
Sango showed her how to crush the pill, and then Kagome put it in her food and mixed it up. She was about to take a bit when she hesitated. Did Kagome see through her plan? Please no!
"Are you sure it will work?"
Sango nodded, "of course they work! Do you think I would be taking them if they didn't?"
Kagome shook her head then took a bite. And made a bit of a face.
"I know the food here tastes like shit hu? Oh well. Oh, and you have to eat all of the food you put it in or it wont work."
"Kay."
Sango smirked as she watched Kagome eat her food. She couldn't believe that Kagome actually took the bait! She mentally patted herself on the back at her brilliant plan.
Kagome was not eating calorie purdgers. She didn't even know if there was even such a thing. Those pills she gave Kagome were calorie increasers. They increase your intake of calories, making you gain weight. The nurses give them to her when they think she looks to skinny. Sango has no need for them and likes her weight the way it is. A good 135 pounds. That was just fine enough for her. So she didn't need the pills, but her new friend Kagome, she needed them like it was her life line.
Sango smiled to herself again and started to eat again hopping to convince Kagome more.
Miroku sat on the sink as Koga turned to him when they were sure they were alone in the men's room.
"So what did you drag me in here to tell me? It better be good because Sango is probably leaning over to get her dropped napkin or something and I'm missing a great view of her boobs!"
Koga rolled his eyes.
"What I brought you in here to tell you concerns Kagome. She thinks she's fat."
Miroku laughed, "yea no shit Sherlock! Did you see that chick! She is like a friken stick!"
Koga sighed, "I know…and she is convinced that she needs to loose more weight…she just gained some of her figure back…"
"Wait a minute my friend, you mean that girl gained some of her figure back? Are you nuts?"
Koga shook his head, "I wish it were true, you should have seen her the first time I meet her…it was like she was a living skeleton. I could practically see every bone in her body…"
Miroku grimaced, "that's messed up."
"Inuyasha, her doctor, finally trusted her enough to stop her weigh-inns and let her come eat with me."
"So THAT'S where you have been going everyday."
"Yea."
"Sango thought you were skipping and trying to beg nurses for real food."
They both laughed at that.
"No, I have been accompanying Kagome in her room at diner and lunch so she would eat."
"Ok. That's cool of you."
"Well what I'm asking you Miroku, is to keep an eye on her. You know?"
"Mhmm, I know what you mean."
"Good, tell Sango too, I have a feeling those two are going to be really close and soon."
"Yea, since their babes and all," Miroku put it.
"Uh...yea… if you put it that way…"
Koga shook his head a Miroku's perverted thoughts and turned towards the door so he could leave. Miroku caught his notion and held the door open for him as Koga wheeled himself out.
"Haha and then the Yuka actually did the dare and put the gummy bear up her nose then ate it!"
Kagome and Sango burst out laughing as Kagome told Sango about her friends at school.
Koga and Miroku showed up and they both smiled to see the girls connecting.
"Hey girls, what are you talking about?"
Sango whipped a tear from her eye and tried to contain her giggles, "Kagome is just telling me about her crazy friends."
They all chatted for a little while until Koga noticed Kagome's empty plate.
"Hey Kaggs, you ate your entire diner," Koga couldn't help but smile.
Kagome smiled back, "yea Sango gave me these pills to make all of the calories in the food disappear, isn't that great? Now I don't have to worry about getting fatter and not make Inuyasha mad at me for not eating."
Koga raised an eyebrow and looked at Sango. She just shrugged.
Miroku looked at the pills in Kagome's hand and rubbed his chin.
"Hey Sango? Aren't those the pills the nur"
"Oh Miroku! Touch me all over!" Sango yelled then launched herself into Miroku then started kissing him hotly.
Koga and Kagome just stared at the couple on the floor as they made out. They took notice that Miroku's hands were in places they should not be.
"Umm guys?" Koga asked.
After about five more minutes the couple broke apart.
"Damn Sango you have nice feelin boobs."
Kagome and Koga saw Sango grit her teeth and tried to resist to slap him.
Kagome blinked, "what was all that about?"
"Oh nothing I just had an urge and needed to be distracted."
Koga caught on what she meant but Kagome was still confused but she let it go.
After diner Koga said he was going to accompany Kagome to her room since it was on the way to his.
As he was wheeling by Sango he whispered to her. "Good job on getting her to eat and that save, I owe you one."
Sango huffed, "yea, you sure do. I sacrificed my dignity for that pervert to touch Me." she whispered back.
"Awe c'mon know we both know you liked It." he wheeled away quickly before Sango could hit him.
"Jerk, "she mumbled.
Koga just laughed and wheeled his way to Kagome's side and followed her to their rooms.
OK so how did you guys like it? it was a long one this time!! Yay!!! REVIEW PLEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!
