Title: Incurable Therpay
Chapter Ten: Sly Plans
--
Kagome opened her eyes to see two big worried green ones. She smiled,
"Good morning Shippo."
"Kagome, please don't go to work today, you're still not better."
She sat up, "Of course I-
Kagome winced. Shippo stuck out both arms. Two pills and some water. She gave him a smile and took them,
"Everything's fine and is Rogue awake yet?"
"Yes, she keeps saying I stole her chocolate bar. Bankotsu hasn't woken up yet though."
Kagome nodded, stood, and stretched, "I'll be out in a second."
He nodded and left. Kagome took a shower, brushed her teeth, tied her hair into an Indian braid, and put on a black tank top and black mini shorts. She put on her Nikies and walked out. Indeed, Bankotsu was still in the guest room asleep.
Kagome flipped the light on, walked over to him, and poured the rest of the water she had onto his face. He jumped awake. She laughed,
"Rise and shine."
"Damn it Kagome, why'd you do that!" he yelled, glaring at her.
Kagome smiled, "You need to be awake to be with Rogue and Shippo. Rogue's water can break early you know."
"She was like the healthiest female I've ever met, she's not going to go into labor early." he retorted.
She shrugged, "Still, you never know."
"Fine!"
Kagome smiled, "Good."
She left and went into the kitchen. Rogue had long beautiful purple/black hair. Her eyes were a amazing pale violet. She had fair skin. Rogue was eating a bowl of cut up apples with peanut butter.
Kagome's smiled widened,
"Good morning Rogue."
"Oh hello Kagome, how you feeling?" she asked.
Kagome shrugged, "Fine but I should be asking you that."
"Fat." she pouted, poking at her plump belly. "You know, I hate Bankotsu for this."
Kagome smiled, "I thought you loved Ban Ban yesterday."
"Yeah, when he got me something sweet to eat." she pouted. "He promised he'd tell me that story about when he-
Kagome cut her off, "I know, I know. He will, well I have to head to work. Make sure Bankotsu wakes up, okay?"
"Got'cha." she nodded. "Bye Kagome!"
Shippo called when she got to the door "Bye Kagome!"
"Bye Shippo! Bye Bankotsu!" she called back, getting a loud groan from the hallway.
Hospital
"Kagome, I missed you so much!"
Kagome smiled, "How have you been Sango? Dating Miroku perhaps?"
"Ha ha very funny." she grumbled, pulling away.
Kagome laughed, "No, seriously, have you?"
"Yeah, yeah." she grunted.
Kagome laughed, "I knew it!"
"Midoriko had to go out of town, won't be back until later, and left me in charge. She told me that she hoped you felt better and to get back to work. Also, that relationship thing better stay in check. Hm? Think she's got another feeling something will happen?"
She huffed and began to go down the hall, "I don't know 'why' she worries so much, NOTHING is going to happen."
Sango rolled her eyes and watched Kagome go.
Noon
Kagome walked into the hospital room and stopped at the corner. Her eye caught Inuyasha's. He asked,
"Ka…Kagome, how are you?"
"Fine." she said, digging her nails into her wrist. "Sorry if I worried you."
Inuyasha shook his head, "Don't apologize."
"So, do you want to train today or what?" she asked, walking over to him.
He ignored her question, "I know what happened. Bankotsu told me."
"I know, he told me he did. There's no use keeping it from anyone anymore." she sighed, sitting in the chair beside his bed.
Inuyasha cleared his throat, "Well, I've been training really hard and I'm starting to feel pressure in the back of my leg again."
"Are you serious?" she asked, standing up. "I'm happy."
He muttered, "I hoped you would."
"Well, let's get training, I don't want all your hard work to go to waste. Soon you'll be walking around." she smiled, wrapped his arm around her neck and helped him into the wheel chair.
Gym
"You told your mom?" she blinked, watching as he did some sit ups.
He huffed, "She wanted to know what happened to you. She was worried. Even my father wanted to know what happened that beautiful young girl."
"Hah," laughed Kagome, "your family is so sweet."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "All but Sesshomaru."
"I'm sure he's just lonely."
He snorted, "Keh, he's engaged."
"To who?" she asked, very curious.
Inuyasha grumbled, "Kagura."
"Sounds familiar." shrugged Kagome. "Was she the one that said they needed to go when he had visited you?"
Inuyasha nodded, "Yeah."
"Has Kikyo come to visit you?" asked Kagome.
He shook his head, "Yeah right."
"You must've been so lonely." giggled Kagome.
Inuyasha stopped and looked into her eyes, "Yeah, a bit. Without you there it was sort of a drag to do all these exercises."
She looked into his amber eyes and they seemed to be luring her. Kagome felt confused and looked away, feeling a blush spread across her face. Inuyasha smirked and started doing the sit-ups again. Kagome swallowed the lump in her throat and asked,
"Um, did you explain to Sesshomaru why I couldn't keep Rin?"
"Yeah, he knows everything, didn't even have to come see me to ask why you hadn't been at the hospital." he replied. "Anyway, what have you been up too for the past month?"
Kagome shrugged and smiled, looking back at him, "Babying Bankotsu and his pregnant girlfriend."
"What about Souta?" asked Inuyasha.
She shrugged, "I don't know. I don't want to talk to him or anyone beside Bankotsu and his brothers. You and Sango, Shippo, Miroku. That's it."
"Kagome, aren't you scared? Do you think you're going to die?" he asked.
She shrugged, "I don't know and if I do…at least I had the chance to live, you know?"
"You deserve a longer life." replied Inuyasha, catching her eye again.
Kagome felt like her heart was going to stop, just by looking at him, "I don't think my life is that important Inuyasha."
"I do." he retorted.
Inuyasha put his hand on her cheek. Kagome swallowed, not feeling any pain like she did last month She couldn't look away. Kagome felt her breathing go up a hitch as he leaned closer,
"I can't look away, his eyes are so beautiful. So comforting. Gentle. I've never seen someone look at me like this and my heart is yearning for it."
Before Kagome tried to look away, his lips captured hers. She gasped, making Inuyasha take advantage of that. Kagome hesitantly kissed him back, closing her eyes. This kiss was slow, comforting, and gentle. Inuyasha's hand went from her cheek, down her neck and arm.
She shivered, and sighed into his mouth. Inuyasha leaned closer to her, still kissing her at the same pace. Kagome felt like she was breaking a serious rule and that someone was watching. She shivered and sighed again when he ran his finger up her back.
"What is this feeling I'm feeling. I feel all weird, and…I don't want to pull away. God knows I don't want too. Weren't I not to do something like this."
Kagome felt something other than pain in her stomach. It was like thrill or excitement. She sighed again when he began to nibbled on her lower lip. Kagome put her hand on his chest. After another few minutes of this, Kagome finally was clicking back into reality,
"Oh my gosh! I'm so going to get fired! What's the matter with me!"
Kagome pushed at his chest and pulled away,
"Inuyasha, we can't do this."
"Why not?" he asked, inches from her lips.
She whispered, "You're married is one and second…I'm not suppose to be having any such kind of relationship with a patient."
"Kagome, it's time I start admitting stuff huh?" he asked. "I'm not in love with her anymore. I'm falling in love with you."
Kagome pulled away, looking wide eyed at him,
"Wha…what!?"
"I think I'm falling for you." he repeated.
She shook her head, "Inuyasha, we haven't even known each other that long, there's no way-
"It's been two months." he interrupted.
Kagome looked dumbfounded, "I wasn't here for that second month."
"Okay, maybe it's not completely love yet but it's something." replied Inuyasha.
She looked so confused, "Inuyasha, I-
"I understand if you don't have the same feelings." he interrupted again.
Kagome got closer to him, "That's not what I-
"Don't bother explaining." he interrupted…again.
She glared, "Would you let me talk! I never said I didn't have feelings, it's just all of this is happening so fast Inuyasha."
"It doesn't have to go fast." replied Inuyasha, taking her hand and pulling her closer.
Kagome looked into his eyes, "Inuyasha."
"Kagome, please give me a chance. I know he broke your heart and didn't make the pain within you any better, but let me heal you. Just give me a chance."
She asked, "The rule-
"You can't keep a secret?" asked Inuyasha.
Kagome bit her lower lip, "I don't know Inuyasha, I mean…-
Inuyasha cut her off with a peck on her lips,
"Please."
"Fine, I'm going to give you a chance. We can't give no one a hint this is happening, got it? So no drama." glared Kagome. "I don't want to lose the job. You're going to be the death of me."
He smirked, "Kagome, I promise, that I'll somehow make this pain go away."
Kagome smiled and nodded. Inuyasha captured her lips again and Kagome kissed back. She wrapped her arms around his neck. The kiss continued when they heard the door clang loudly. Kagome pulled away fast, and Inuyasha began to pull-ups again.
In came Midoriko,
"How's everything going?"
"Oh hey Midoriko." smiled Kagome, licking her lips then looking up at her.
She didn't suspect a thing, "Hey, any improvements?"
"Well, while I was gone, he said he's been feeling pressure in the back of his legs, so…he might be out of here before the end of next month." explained Kagome, looking back over to Inuyasha.
Midoriko smiled, "That's great, now how have you been feeling?"
"Better, beside the fact my cousin and his pregnant girlfriend are up late at night screaming about food." smiled Kagome.
She laughed, "You think that's bad, wait until the baby is born."
"I might end up kicking them out." she joked.
Midoriko smiled, "Well, I'll see you two later. Hurry and recover Inuyasha."
"Right." he nodded.
With that Midoriko walked toward the door and stopped,
"Kagome, you're a great, well-trusted employee here. Keep up the good work."
"Ha ha," she laughed nervously, "thanks."
Midoriko nodded and left. Inuyasha nodded when she was gone. She slumped,
"I feel horrible. I'm disobeying and order."
"Yeah, for me." he smiled, making sure she was gone.
Kagome smiled, "Yeah."
