Chapter Six: Introduction To Doctor Sango ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inuyasha took his camera as he stepped into the morning sun. He felt obliged to trace some of his father's footsteps on Four Souls. Or perhaps change them.
He chose the Nikon – one of his father's favorite and of course the one that Inutaisho had brought that summer.
Inuyasha chose the beach with its great waves and diamond sand. He slipped on dark glasses against the fierce rays of the sun and climbed onto the marked path between the forests. The wind from the sea sent his hair flying. He just stood there, listening to the beat of the water and the quietness of the morning.
With the ease of experience, Inuyasha lifted his camera and captured the wave that is swallowing the shells that had been brought in by the tides.
The beach was inhabited only by birds and shells; his footprint was the only ones to smear the sand, could a man ask for more solitude?
Kagome was a photographer, had his father known that the little girl he taught had gone to follow his footsteps? Would he have cared? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Excuse me?"
Inuyasha jerked around when a voice cut through the memory. He took a quick step in retreat, half expecting to see one of his ghosts, but what he saw was a woman, with dark brown hair and brown eyes.
"I'm sorry, did I startle you?" She tilted her head and her eyes stayed focused on his face. "Are you all right?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Inuyasha dragged a hand through his hair and ignored the embarrassment as the woman continues to study him. "I didn't know anyone else was around."
"Just finishing my morning run." She told him. "It's my job make sure everyone is all right."
"Beach police?" Inuyasha said dryly.
"No." She smiled and held out a hand. "Doctor, doctor Sango Higurashi."
Inuyasha accepted her hand. "I'm Inuyasha. Out of curiosity, are you by any chance related to Kagome Higurashi?"
"That's my younger sister. You don't know we're related? That must means you're not a native." Sango concluded. "You must be the one who's renting the Little Soul Cottage for half a year."
"Word travels."
"It does, doesn't it? We don't usually have single men renting for six month. A number of ladies are intrigued."
"Really? I'm nothing special." Inuyasha responded.
"You know, I think I might remember you. Aren't you the one who hanged around with my brother Sota that summer?" Sango asked.
"Good memory."
"What can I say, a doctor needs a good memory." With that Sango jogged pass him. "It's nice knowing you, Inuyasha. Remember, if you need any medical attention. Come to my clinic." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Twenty minutes later, Sango put on her white lab coat. She considered it as a costume, designed to insure the reluctant patient that she was indeed a doctor. Then she stepped into her office.
She flipped through her appointment book and scanned the information. Her next appointment is with Rin, a twenty-five year old girl that has a personality of a child. Knowing her, she would be here in at least ten minutes. The girl was known to be late to everything.
Sango took the necessary charts to the examination room and laid out all the information in front of her. She turned on Für Elise by Beethoven just as Rin ran in.
"Sorry, sorry," Rin stopped to take a deep breathe. "The phone rang just as I was leaving."
"It's fine, just sit down first, you know the routine." Sango assured her as Rin sat down on the patient's seat.
"It was Kikyo on the phone, and I think she's feeling restless." Rin offered.
"She usually is." Sango muttered.
Rin ignored her and continued on. "Anyways, Kikyo is going to come down to the campgrounds tonight around nine. We thought we could build ourselves a nice fire and have a nice chat. Wanna come?"
"We'll see, if I decide to come, I'll bring a six-pack." Sango took out a chart and handed to Rin.
"Well, I wanted her to ask Kagome, but you know how Kikyo is. Hope she will though." Rin took the chart and began to fill it in. "Have you seen Kagome yet?"
"No, but I'll try to catch her today."
"I don't know what's up with Kikyo these days. She seems to be mad at Kagome, and Naraku too. I don't get it, if I had a man who'll still chase me after all these years, I'll jump him in a New York minute."
"I suppose so." Sango commented as she took the chart from Rin. " Looks like everything is going fine. I just hope your next victim knows what how to handle you."
Rin laughed and stood up. "Thanks doc. And try to come to the campgrounds, we'll make it a real girls' nights out."
"We'll see. Now let's get on to the testings..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At five, Sango closed the clinic and was walking through the forest. She walked quickly, simply because she had set her mind on her destination. She was used to the rustle of leaves and the sound of wind through the forest. She was surprised to find herself stopping, and listened to the beat of her heart fast and high in her throat.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" Sango asked.
There was no answer, but she knew someone was there; she panicked and broke into a run. While the one who was watching her chuckled helplessly into his hand. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Run, run, run was all Sango can think off. Suddenly her path was blocked and she screamed as she ran into a solid wall of chest and arms tight around her.
"Sango, what's wrong? What happened?" Miroku nearly picked her up in his arms. "Are you hurt?"
"No, I'm not hurt. A minute, I need a minute." Sango let go off Miroku trying to catch her breath, but the moment was ruined as a certain hand traveled up her spine.
A loud slap can be heard follow by a loud thud. Looks like Miroku couldn't behave again.
"Pervert." Was all Sango said before she walked away. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Minutes later, Sango arrived at Shikon and went inside to find Kagome. Instead, she found Sota.
"Sota, did you see Kagome anywhere?" Sango asked.
"I think she's out somewhere with her camera." Sota answered and kept on chopping his vegetables.
"Well, tell her to come to the campgrounds at nine. It's a girls' night out."
"Why can't you tell her yourself?" Sota questioned.
"I had a rough day, I'm going to take a nap. Be a good brother and give her the message will you?"
"All right, but are you sure you feel okay?"
"I'm fine, just tired." Sango answered. She didn't feel fine, she felt scared and afraid, but she didn't want to worry her brother. "Just tired, that's all." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another chapter done
