This was the chapter that I decided to change my name. I was originally 'Angelfairie' but then I kinda realized the shocking truth that I was neither, I am still a halfbreed (I guess) but not that type.

Well new chapter. Enjoy!

Chapter 4: Melting Away the Ice part II

Sesshomaru took her up bridal style and carried her to the nurses station near to the field.

"Nurse Kanna?" he called (a/n: I know I know interesting aint it?)

"Yes?" the said person turned around from behind the counter, "ah, Higurashi is back, place her in that room."

"Ok" he placed Kagome in the bed, she immediately curled in a ball clutching her arm and squeezing her eyes shut in pain. He silently wondered how a girl as tall as she—not that she's very tall— could make a ball that small.

"So Sesshomaru—"Kanna started, he glared at her, "um Mr. Takami, what happened to her?"

"The coach just wanted to see if she could still shoot." He stated as monotone as ever,

"Apparently not" she turned to Kagome, "Kagome, just stay put, I'll go se if I can get Dr. Nataku to heal it completely this time"

"Thank you." She mumbled, the nurse left the room.

"I'll leave" Sesshomaru said ready to turn around and leave to go get changed but was stopped by her voice.

"No please stay" Kagome asked, looking up at him with a pained expression.

"Ok... but I don't see what use you would have with my presence"

"I just want some company, that's all" Dr. Nataku walked in, he was a fairly young good- looking kitsune with shoulder length blue hair and red eyes, he walked up to the bed where Kagome sat.

"Kagome, how far up into your arm do you feel the pain this time? Same place?" he asked

"Yeah, up to my shoulder"

"alright please remove your school shirt"

"Ok" she took it off and to her relief she decided to wear a tank top over her sports bra. He instructed her to lay on the bed and not move while he worked on her arm.

Sitting by the window Sesshomaru watched the team jog around the field and do their other forms of training to get ready for the big competition later that day, or that's what it seemed he was doing, he was keeping watch on Kagome and Nataku, just making sure that healing her arm was all he was doing, he didn't doubt the doctor or anything, but sometimes you couldn't be too sure.

After about twenty minutes of excruciating pain for both Kagome and Sesshomaru, Nataku finally said the words that would set them free from their version of hell.

"There all fixed" Nataku said with a smile on his face.

"Thank you" Kagome breathed as if in prayer,

"No problem" nataku said then left the room.

Kagome got up and stretched the tense muscles in her body especially her newly repaired arm, a slight blush crept up on her face as she just remembered that Sesshomaru was still in the room. She grabbed her shirt but was startled by a familiar voice.

"Don't worry I didn't look" he said while looking at her reflection on the window, then with a smirk he added "I'm not that perverted"

"Um, I didn't get a chance to properly thank you for helping me with that Naraku incident." She said while folding her shirt, her previous reason for grabbing it forgotten.

"It was nothing besides Naraku is an ass" he stood up and walked to the door "are you coming or you'd rather stay?"

She walked over to him "I think I'll come" they both walked out of the office.

'I really think he's beginning to warm up to me, sure he still kinda acts like a frigid bastard at times but at least he doesn't do it to me' she thought, watching sesshomaru through the corner of her eye. She smiled slightly.

Or what you really mean is that you are beginning to like him her conscience spoke

'Am not!' she protested,

Oh yes you are, I know you do, because I'm you and I like him, so if I do, you do. Simple logic. Admit it, besides whats not to like, he's hott, strong, and a good athlete...

'Ok ok, maybe I am falling for him but I bet the feeling isn't mutual— what am I saying its Sesshomaru we are talking/ thinking about here, I should not be thinking this, he wouldn't like me. I mean why would he?'

I wonder what he's thinking about now?

Though it may not show or be as obvious as Kagome, Sesshomaru was fighting a waging war in his head too, and loosing terribly might I add.

Your falling for her and you know it

'Am not, she's just vulnerable at this time'

In what way

'......'

Thought so, you like her and you know it your just in denial. I mean come on, I like her and I'm you so you like her (the consciences speak a lot alike don't they?)

I am not she just- I just-

Stop trying so hard to find excuses Sesshomaru, just admit it, you like the girl

'Alright alright, I am sorta falling for her ok, besides what's not to like?, she's beautiful, she's smart, she's athletic, she even smells nice, ok maybe sorta isn't the right word'

Yeah I think so too

'I wonder if she feels the same way, no its not possible, she probably thinks of me as a frigid bastard or something like that.'

You never know until you try

'What are you getting at?'

Think about it

'And what if she pushes me away?' (a/n why am I making him sound so insecure?.???? Oh well)

Stop thinking of the what ifs and just try it

'I wonder if he'd like me back?, no I think I should just stop living in dreams'

Stop doubting yourself

'But—'

A clawed hand around her waist brought Kagome out of her thoughts, she looked up at Sesshomaru and smiled at him, then put her hand around him and rested her head on his side. Miroku ran up (a/n just had to ruin the moment didn't you)

"Kagome! — Sesshomaru?" he looked on their current positions, then deciding to drop it for a later date, he was probably helping her walk or something, sango never did say why she went to the nurse, and continued with his message, "Anyways, Kagome... and I guess Sesshomaru"

"What is it?" kagome asked

"You are needed on the field now"

"Why?" she looked puzzled.

"The meet's starting" Sesshomaru said then reluctantly let go of Kagome and walked off leaving Kagome and Miroku, while battering himself mentally for what he just did, he continued towards the changing room deciding to make it up to her later.

"Kagome, you and Sesshomaru now huh?" Miroku said with a smug look on his face

"No, I'm not sure yet, anyway Miroku I need to get going now thanks for the message." She ran off.

"No problem" he called after her.
