Chapter 7 - Coming to terms
Kagome sat in the chair and cried. She never moved from the chair; she couldn't move. Kagome might have only met Kanna, but she was the first person to give her a gift, something she desperately needed: to know she was loved.
Kagome started to cry even more. "I hope you found your wings. You are finally free."
Still she sat in that chair when they came and turned off Kanna's monitors. She still sat there when they took her body away. Kagome not only grieved for Kanna, but also she finally shed tears for herself and her family.
She sat there for what felt like hours. The tears had stopped flowing. She had let the doctors tend to her wounds, too numb to feel anything.
She felt someone kneel down beside her. She didn't look at him until he called her name. Even then she didn't register who she was looking at. She welcomed the embrace, when he pulled her close. Kagome thought that she'd finally run out of tears, but there was a new pool that started to flow. She felt him give his strength to her. She gladly took it. She was drained. She leaned into his body and closed her eyes. before she knew it, she fell asleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha walked into Kagome's English class. He went into a rage when he found out that she had driven herself to the hospital. He became livid when he found out what Kagura had done.
He made a scene and demanded that Sesshomaru take him to see her at once. When his brother refused, he demanded to have the keys to the car. Sesshomaru refused to hand them over.
Inuyasha took a temper tantrum right in the middle of the hall. He didn't care how he looked, he wanted to go now. They were supposed to have a lunch date. Kagome had grown on him in such a short time. Even though she had humiliated his girlfriend, not to mention himself, he found her to be an enigma he had to figure out.
It was only after Sesshomaru promised to drive him at lunch did he quiet down. Lunch for him took an eternity. He would've sworn on his life that the clock stopped ticking or that it started ticking in reverse.
When lunch finally arrived, Inuyasha half dragged Sesshomaru out of biology class. Both of them were surprised to see Sango waiting by their car. Despite her calm and seemingly gentle nature, she demanded to go with them. Inuyasha slid into the passenger seat, after he let Sango go in the back.
Once at the hospital, both Sango and Inuyasha ran up to the nurse's station and demanded to see Kagome. The nurse told them that only family were allowed to go into the burn unit.
Inuyasha posed as the concerned boyfriend, Sango the sister, and even Sesshomaru posed as the legal guardian. Sesshomaru followed the nurse. There were so many turns and twists that Sango and Inuyasha lost track of them. What they saw when they came to Kagome's room made them stop. Both were in shock. Sesshomaru was comforting Kagome.
'Why is he holding her? That's my fuckin' job! I should be holding her. Who cares if I have a girlfriend, the wench saved my life, I should be the one to soothe her pain. Sess wouldn't even be here if he had just given me the fucking keys. Sess is taking her away from me, and I can't let him. I have to stop him.' He was going to tare Kagome from Sesshomaru's arms when Sango, who remained silent, grabbed his arm and shook her head. 'Why is she stopping me? What does she know that I don't? What gives her the right to stop me?'
"Inuyasha, leave Kagome alone for now. She's being taken care of. We should see how Kanna's doing, they are not going anywhere." Sango nodded to the embraced pair.
"Feh!" Inuyasha told her as he left in search of a nurse. He didn't see Kanna when he came into the room. 'This was her room, maybe she was moved into another room?' He thought mindlessly as they searched the halls for a nurse.
The news hit them both very hard. Kanna was dead. Inuyasha felt another low blow when he realized that Kagome must have been with her. Inuyasha rushed back into the room. Sesshomaru was talking to a doctor. 'Why is the doctor telling Sesshomaru to take Kagome home? I'm the only one that's been to her house.' An evil thought came to mind, 'I'll stay over at her house. I'll stay there until she tells me to go.'
Sesshomaru had finished talking to the doctor. Inuyasha walked over, "So what did he say?"
"We are to take Kagome home and let her rest. He gave me a few prescriptions, one's for her burns, and the other's a tranquilizer. Grab Kagome's purse and let's go." Sesshomaru stood up shifting Kagome's weight in his arms.
"I'll follow you guys. I'll drive Kagome's car, that way she doesn't have to come back here." Sango commented, grabbing Kagome's purse.
Sesshomaru nodded. All of them left the hospital. Sango found Kagome's car, and started it up. She sat patiently as Sesshomaru placed Kagome in the back seat. 'Looks are very deceiving. He's being so careful, and yet he looks so cold. I wonder if Kagome will ever return his affection?' She shook her thoughts away as Sesshomaru slid into the driver's seat.
Sango followed Sesshomaru. In all reality she was scared. She was driving a freaking jag. She didn't want to break anything, let alone touch anything.
She let out a sigh of relief out as she placed the car into park. Taking the keys out of the ignition, she ran up the steps and unlocked the door.
Sango held the door open while Inuyasha carried Kagome into the house. She thought she saw a disapproving look on Sesshomaru's face, but she disregarded it.
Inuyasha took Kagome up to her bedroom and Sango trailed not too far behind. 'This place is so nice, and it's huge. Kagome is so lucky!' Sango thought as she made her way into Kagome's bedroom. Inuyasha placed her on the bed.
Sango looked around. "There has got to be something I can change Kagome into." She opened the closet and was shocked by the size. "Holy shit! She makes my wardrobe look like nothing." She quickly grabbed a pair of sweat pants, and closed the door. "Alright Inuyasha, leave for a minute, while I make Kagome more comfortable." She held up the pair of sweats.
"Feh! It's not like I haven't seen a female body before. Plus the wench won't notice. Besides, you won't be able to change her by yourself, you're just a weak woman."
Sango's eyes turned to piercing slits. "Get out now Inuyasha!" Her tone cold and threatening. Sesshomaru took his brother by the collar of his uniform and dragged him out, leaving Sango alone with Kagome. She quickly undressed Kagome and slipped on the sweats. When she was finished tucking Kagome in bed, she opened the bedroom door to find a very angry Inuyasha standing there.
"What took you so fucking long?" He said moving towards the bed.
Sango give him a dirty look and walked out. 'Better to avoid confrontation then to destroy Kagome's house.' She mentally told herself. She saw another door open, and she peeked inside. There was Sesshomaru sitting behind the desk reading a book. She left him to his own devices. She walked down the stairs. She opened the door to the dojo, and couldn't help but cry out, "Holy Shit!"
This caused the two brothers to come running down. "I told you Sess that she had a fucking dojo in here." He was smirking at that piece of information. "Quickly look, but don't touch a thing. Kagome will get pissed off to high heaven if she wakes up and finds you here."
Sango and Sesshomaru both looked at the trophies. "Holy shit she's good. No she's fucking great." She said when she saw a kendo trophy for best in Japan. Both were in awe at her abilities, but were distracted when they heard a loud crashing sound and Inuyasha's cheers about it. Both ran out to find Inuyasha in front of the plasma. He was playing a video game. Sango quickly took the remote and turned down the volume. "You idiot! Kagome is trying to sleep! That racket would wake her up! Have you no consideration?"
All Inuyasha did was stick out his tongue at her. Sango sighed and she plopped herself on the couch. Sesshomaru went back up to the study, but first he checked on Kagome. 'She looks so peaceful.' He brushed a strand of hair from her face. 'So smooth, and soft.' He stayed that way for a while. 'I want to take her in my arms and make all of her pain go away.' Quickly he got up and went back into the study before his thoughts got him into trouble.
Sango had left a little after 3 p.m. She had to get home for her little brother. Inuyasha had no plans on going anywhere. He didn't care what his brother did, but he felt it was necessary to stay.
Inuyasha was still playing the video game when a completely enraged Miroku walked in. If looks could kill, Inuyasha would be dead. "What are you doing here?" Miroku seethed when he saw Inuyasha.
"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm playing a video game. Fuck, Miroku, look what you made me do?" He pointed to the game over screen.
"Where's Kagome?" Miroku's anger not letting up.
Sesshomaru walked down the stairs. His eyes darkened slightly at the sight of Miroku. "Why are you here?"
"Where's Kagome? What happened?"
Both brothers stood in silence. It was Inuyasha that spoke. He told Miroku the whole story, about what Kagura did, Kagome being there when Kanna died, and them bringing her home. Miroku dropped his school bag, all anger vanished and ran to her room. He gently picked her up, and cradled her. "Kagome, it's all right now. Please get better. I'm here, I'll take care of you." Miroku gentle caressed her face with his hand.
Sesshomaru was watching at the door. He felt his blood boil at the thought of Miroku holding her like that. 'She does not belong to him. She doesn't belong to him!' Then whom does she belong to? The inner voice in his head asked. 'Me, or she will. Beauty like that should not be wasted on a pathetic wimp like him, she needs someone strong.' He was about to turn and leave, when he saw Kagome stir.
"Mmm Miroku," Kagome's eyes fluttered open. "Sorry, I'm sorry I wasn't there today. Can you forgive me?"
Miroku placed a small kiss on her forehead, "I can't be mad at you."
"Good," Her voice drifting back to sleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome awoke. It took her a few minutes to realize that she was back in her bed. 'Was it all a dream?' She looked at her arms, and noticed that there were new bandages, 'No it wasn't a dream. Kanna died.' New tears sprang to life. She drew her knees to her chin and cried.
The silent tears ran down her face. 'I have to get up. I have to do something. I can't sit here like this.' The self-pity was taking its toll, and she felt a new onset of tears form. She heard a loud bang come from downstairs, 'What the hell?' Kagome made her way down to the living room, and found Miroku and Inuyasha racing each other.
"Hi guys." Her voice was meek and hoarse from crying.
Both men shot up. "How are you feeling Kagome?"
"I'm fine Miroku, are you guys hungry? I think I have several packages of ramen left if you want, or I could order pizza. It's up to you."
Inuyasha's mouth salivated at the thought of ramen, but Miroku interjected. "We should just order out. I wouldn't want you to be in any more discomfort than you have to be."
"Miroku, you are sweet. I don't mind making ramen. Since you two are going to have to eat anyway, why not have something you both enjoy."
"Feh, see? Let the wench cook. She offered." Inuyasha went back to playing his game.
"Inuyasha," Her tone dropping to the point of deadly, "Watch what you say, or I'll just have to order pizza."
"Pizza would be best." Kagome turned around. Sesshomaru stood in the doorway. "You should not be so rude Inuyasha. I wonder why she is being so polite to you at all."
Kagome stared at Sesshomaru, "Really it's no big deal, I don't mind making ramen. Have you ever tried it before?"
"Kagome, Sess is such a picky eater, he hasn't tried anything!" Inuyasha was laughing.
Kagome's face lit up. "Ramen it is then." She walked into the kitchen and started to make the noodles.
It was a little disturbing have Sesshomaru watch her, but she thought that was sweet. 'Ok, Kag, enough of the awkward silence. Say something, you could cut the tension with a knife. He looks so bored, that's not the word, disinterested. Ya that's it. I would hate to think that I'm that bad of company. That's it!' Kagome walked over to him, "Sess--" All conscious thought was lost as he stood up and searched her eyes. She ran her hands through his long silky white hair. He closed the distance and kissed her.
His lips teased hers, seeking entrance. She granted him access, and their tongues danced. 'Not too bad, he's a little out of practice, but definitely not too bad. I wonder what he'd do if I did this?' She traced his bottom lip with her tongue. 'Mmm, he tastes like peppermint, and I taste like morning breath. Great, just great.' She heard a slight moan in response. 'Good, can't be too much of a slut now.' She broke off the kiss. They were both slightly panting. Kagome blushed slightly. She turned back and placed the packages in the boiling water.
'A goddess, no a vixen, no a siren. She called me out to sea and I drowned. It was well worth it. I would die another thousand deaths to kiss her again. She tasted like honey. Her jasmine scent drove him up the wall. I couldn't help but kiss her.' His mind racing a mile a minute. It was a strange voice calling Kagome's name that brought his out of his daze.
"Kagome? You there Kagome?"
Kagome picked up the walkie-talkie, "What's the matter Shippo?"
"Kagome, Mom says she's gonna be late, so can I come over and have supper with you?"
"I'm making ramen, so if you want some--" There was a knock on the patio door. Kagome laughed, and went to open it.
"There is no way I'm going to let my brother eat all of it by himself." He stopped and noticed Sesshomaru standing by the counter. "What's he doing here?"
"Shippo, this is Sesshomaru, Sesshomaru, this is Shippo."
"I know who he is, the question is WHY is he here?"
"Shippo, now you should mind your manners. I went back to the hospital today, and they were kind enough to bring me home." Kagome took a deep breath, 'I'm not gonna cry. I'm not gonna cry.' Sensing that something was wrong, Shippo came and gave her a hug.
"What do you mean by they? Who else brought you home."
Kagome has turned off the heat to the stove. She was pouring the noodles into bowls, "Sesshomaru, Sango and Inuyasha."
"Inuyasha! What is that rotten good for nothing piece of white trash doing here? Fuck, now my brother's in even more trouble!" Shippo dashed into the living room looking for blood.
"Shippo no!" Kagome ran after him.
Shippo had thrown himself on top of Inuyasha, and he started to punch him with all his might. "You son of a bitch! Miroku is never going to go back, not now I won't let you."
"Shippo!" She grabbed his shirt and threw him onto the couch. "You are right. Miroku is not going back. Supper is ready, come eat before it gets cold." With that she went into the kitchen and finished placing the food on the table.
"What do you mean Kagome?" Shippo voiced Miroku's question.
Kagome sighed. "I wish you didn't find out this way, but I paid off Miroku's debt. I know I should have said something Miroku, but I wanted it to be a surprise. Well in all reality, I didn't want you to know that it came from me at all." Her head hung in shame, "I'm sorry Miroku. I know that was low of me to go behind your back I hope you can forgive me."
She sat down in the chair, on the verge of tears. Shippo stood in shock. Inuyasha had a grin plastered on his face. Sesshomaru stood expressionless as usual, and Miroku was dumbfounded.
"Kagome? You would do that for me?"
She nodded, not trusting her voice. Next thing she knew, his head was in her lap and his arms about her waist. "I love you Kagome, I really do," tears of joy streaming down his face. He hugged her tighter.
"Miroku, can't breathe." He loosened his grip. Their eyes were shinning, he took her face and kissed her.
If anyone had been looking at Sesshomaru, they would have seen his eyes turn from gold to blood red.
***********************************
AN: Mwahahahahaha I'm so evil I know! Just when you think you know the pairings, I'm going to be shaking it up! Not to worry Inuyasha fans, he's not out of the race yet, besides, I have barely begun to shake it up! I know, that the Sess kiss was *supposed* to be romantic, but in all reality I suck at the mush, so I've laced it with comedy! Besides romance is dead and I've hidden the body under my bed for safe keeping. I have two other people that need to come in *evil grin* One I think will enter next chapter, and the other will be in a few chapters. LOL no one knows the direction of my story, not even my precious beta reader! Oh that reminds me I should let her out of the closet, she's been good. Thanks to everyone for reading! I know last chapter was *sob* sad. EEevee called it sappier than a maple tree! Thanks for not flaming my ass! Next chapter will be posted on Monday, depending on reviews. Or maybe I'll post on Friday....*sly grin* yes make them wait! I guess it's up to you people to decide! Remember if you want more there's only one thing to do REVIEW!

"Shippo, this is Sesshomaru, Sesshomaru, this is Shippo."
"I know who he is, the question is WHY is he here?"
"Shippo, now you should mind your manners. I went back to the hospital today, and they were kind enough to bring me home." Kagome took a deep breath, 'I'm not gonna cry. I'm not gonna cry.' Sensing that something was wrong, Shippo came and gave her a hug.
"What do you mean by they? Who else brought you home."
Kagome has turned off the heat to the stove. She was pouring the noodles into bowls, "Sesshomaru, Sango and Inuyasha."
"Inuyasha! What is that rotten good for nothing piece of white trash doing here? Fuck, now my brother's in even more trouble!" Shippo dashed into the living room looking for blood.
"Shippo no!" Kagome ran after him.
Shippo had thrown himself on top of Inuyasha, and he started to punch him with all his might. "You son of a bitch! Miroku is never going to go back, not now I won't let you."
"Shippo!" She grabbed his shirt and threw him onto the couch. "You are right. Miroku is not going back. Supper is ready, come eat before it gets cold." With that she went into the kitchen and finished placing the food on the table.
"What do you mean Kagome?" Shippo voiced Miroku's question.
Kagome sighed. "I wish you didn't find out this way, but I paid off Miroku's debt. I know I should have said something Miroku, but I wanted it to be a surprise. Well in all reality, I didn't want you to know that it came from me at all." Her head hung in shame, "I'm sorry Miroku. I know that was low of me to go behind your back I hope you can forgive me."
She sat down in the chair, on the verge of tears. Shippo stood in shock. Inuyasha had a grin plastered on his face. Sesshomaru stood expressionless as usual, and Miroku was dumbfounded.
"Kagome? You would do that for me?"
She nodded, not trusting her voice. Next thing she knew, his head was in her lap and his arms about her waist. "I love you Kagome, I really do," tears of joy streaming down his face. He hugged her tighter.
"Miroku, can't breathe." He loosened his grip. Their eyes were shinning, he took her face and kissed her.
If anyone had been looking at Sesshomaru, they would have seen his eyes turn from gold to blood red.

AN: Mwahahahahaha I'm so evil I know! Just when you think you know the pairings, I'm going to be shaking it up! Not to worry Inuyasha fans, he's not out of the race yet, besides, I have barely begun to shake it up! I know, that the Sess kiss was *supposed* to be romantic, but in all reality I suck at the mush, so I've laced it with comedy! Besides romance is dead and I've hidden the body under my bed for safe keeping. I have two other people that need to come in *evil grin* One I think will enter next chapter, and the other will be in a few chapters. LOL no one knows the direction of my story, not even my precious beta reader! Oh that reminds me I should let her out of the closet, she's been good. Thanks to everyone for reading! I know last chapter was *sob* sad. EEevee called it sappier than a maple tree! Thanks for not flaming my ass! Next chapter will be posted on Monday, depending on reviews. Or maybe I'll post on Friday....*sly grin* yes make them wait! I guess it's up to you people to decide! Remember if you want more there's only one thing to do REVIEW!
