I woke up to hear the angel again. It whispered my name over and over again. Is smooth hand grazed onto my face. I forced my eyes to open and the first thing I saw was something white. After my eyes adjusted to the light, I blinked a few times to make sure I wasn't dreaming and sure enough the 'angel' that had been calling my name and caressing my face was Sesshomaru.
"Kagome, are you feeling okay?" Sesshomaru asked. He had been closely positioned near my face, examining my features, trying to find an emotion behind my face. He must have sensed that I was nervous, because he ripped away from the glance and shifted himself to the end of what seemed to be a bed. Wait…a bed? I hurriedly glanced around to find myself in a hospital room.
Remembering what happened, my eyes dashed to meet Sesshomaru's glance. His emotionless face turned towards my worried face. H e scooted himself closer up on the bed and glanced at me for a moment, neither of us wanting to break from the long stare, not the long silence. Finally, Sesshomaru's long, loud, and rather heavy sigh broke my stare with him. I shook my head vigorously and also sighed along with him.
"Is…is InuYasha okay?" I asked, now worried about InuYasha. Sesshomaru shook his head softly and closed his eyes momentarily. I desperately grasped onto Sesshomaru's shoulders and pulled myself closer into him. I noticed that Sesshomaru was caught off guard by my sudden actions, and I began to cry. Sesshomaru did noting while I cried; he just sat there and let me use him as if he were a tissue.
"He might not make it. He was severely injured in the wreck." Sesshomaru stated. I wiped away a few of my stray tears and pulled away from Sesshomaru's warmth and lay back down in the bed. I continued to keep eye contact with the Youkai until he broke the stare and pushed himself off of the bed.
"Where are you going?" I inquired. Sesshomaru turned towards me and then back at the door. Silently, he left the room without another word. I lay on my bed bemused at Sesshomaru's actions. And eventually I fell back asleep into a wonderful dreamland.
----A Week Later----
"Thank you Sesshomaru" I said happily as Sesshomaru miraculously drove InuYasha's car to my house. I waved my frail hand goodbye at him, and he only stared at me blankly. Should have guessed it… I shrugged my shoulders vaguely as Sesshomaru drove off quite slowly out of the driveway. I attempted not to laugh at how nervous he looked trying to back out of there, instead I continued to wave at him until he was completely out of the driveway.
The week in the hospital was terrifying. Nurses kept coming in every hour waking me up if I wasn't already awake; they injected various medicines into my arms. I was too weak to even listen to what they were saying about the medicines and how they would help me. About every other day, Sesshomaru would come down to my room and tell me how InuYasha had been doing. He stayed in the room for about thirty minutes and let me talk to him. I doubt that he had been listening, but it was still nice to communicate with someone other than the nurses.
But something happened when Sesshomaru started to visit me occasionally. Every time he was near me, butterflies congested my stomach. I had to gulp down the lumps that formed in my stomach. There were also knots that endlessly broke in my stomach every time that he softly traced his hands over my face. I quickly shook my head in utter shock of thinking of Sesshomaru in those terms and walked up to the front door of my house and opened it.
"GLAD YOU'RE BACK!" about 50 unknowns voices yelled as my mouth dropped open in shock. Fifty of my friends and relatives popped out from behind the couch, loveseat, and other furniture that was scattered throughout the living room. I ran up to the first person that I recognized best, Sota, and gave him a big hug around the middle. He hopped into my arms and began to laugh happily.
"Hey sis, it's great to see you, I missed you." Sota said and squirmed his way out of my arms and ran into the kitchen jabbering on about cake. My mom persuaded everyone to gather in the kitchen before Sota got a hold of the cake. She lit the candles on the cake that read, "Glad You're Back Kagome!" I was forced to blow out the candles and eat the cake. I truly wasn't very hungry; Sesshomaru had taken me to get something to eat at Wendy's right before I got home.
After the party I went upstairs to my bedroom and flopped down on the bed. I sighed contently and stared at the ceiling and began to make out figures in it. I recognized a butterfly, then a moose, then…InuYasha. I sighed less contently and thought back at what Sesshomaru told me earlier when I was eating.
----Flashback----
"Kagome, if you don't mind there is something I'd like to discuss." Sesshomaru said as I chomped down on my spicy chicken sandwich. I stuffed a few fries that had recently been dipped in honey mustard into my mouth.
"Yeah…sure…whatever you…say…Sesshomaru…" I said between bites. He began to blab on about something at the doctor's office. He suddenly stopped when he noticed I was literately inhaling my food.
"Kagome, I do recommend that you chew." He suggested. The tone that he had been carrying was quite serious and my cheeks began to become full with air. The food that was still in my mouth had started to slide down my throat causing me to cough. "I told you to chew." He said in the same serious tone. I began to laugh and cough at the same time as my food began to spurt all over the dashboard and out of my mouth and nose. I managed to keep my breath and finally gained control of the intake and outtake of my food. Sesshomaru looked over at me with a look of plain disgust abroad his feminine like features.
"Sorry about that Sesshomaru." I said and eyed his white outfit. Somehow my little coughing fiasco ended up on the front of his beautifully crafted kimono. I resisted from laughing once again as I heard him blab on once again about something at the doctors office.
"Kagome, are you listening to me?" he inquired.
"Yeah, sure, whatever." I said and finished up my sandwich. I rubbed my belly and resisted from burping aloud in front of Sesshomaru as he glared at me in utter shame. I merely grinned back at him and accidentally belched into his face.
"Kagome, please, pay attention. I have something vitally important to tell you." He said. I don't know what had gotten into me at that particular moment. I was usually never this rude around people. I inwardly shook my head and intently paid attention to Sesshomaru.
"Yes Sesshomaru, what is it?" I questioned.
"I have to discuss the matter of InuYasha." He said. "I need to know exactly how you and him ended up in practically the middle of nowhere nearly dead with him. Kagome this is a very serious matter, you really should have more thought about who you should trust, and trust me, and if I were you I wouldn't trust my brother. I don't even trust him completely. Do you see where I am trying to come from Kagome?" he glanced over at me with concern flooding over his face. He wasn't embarrassed to hide the fact that he was concerned for me. I lowered my head in defeat.
"Sesshomaru, I-I don't know…I don't know what I should do. I'm still confused. I still love him; you don't understand where I'm coming from do you? Do you see where I'm coming from Sesshomaru? Do you not see that I still have strong feelings for him?" Sesshomaru looked at me in shock at my words. He shook his head, also in defeat, and softly rubbed his temples.
Silence filled the car, neither of us knowing what to do or what to say. Something strange came over my body, something awkward, and something I didn't enjoy at all. In the next instant I found myself latching onto Sesshomaru's waist and pulling myself closer to him. He glanced down at me bewildered by my actions and his eyes moved around aimlessly. I somehow managed to prop myself into his lap and wrap my arms around his neck. His cold eyes flickered over to meet mine. As soon as our eyes made eye contact…I kissed him.
After a course of minutes, Sesshomaru gently pulled me off of him and sat there speechless by my actions. He restarted the ignition and the two of us drove off in silence for half of the drive until Sesshomaru finally spoke up.
"Kagome, as you know InuYasha is going to be out of the hospital in about a week. After the countless surgeries to save him, the doctors have all come to the conclusion that he will survive and they said that InuYasha will be release in a week or more if conditions somehow weather against him." Sesshomaru said. "When he is release Kagome, I ask that you stay clear of him."
I simple nodded my head at the Youkai demon and neither of us talked the rest of the way home until of course I told him thanks for the ride.
----End Of Flashback----
Eventually, after countless moments of staring at my well organized wall, I fell asleep, having mixed dreams about Sesshomaru and InuYasha.
Early the next morning I awoke to the sound of my alarm clock that was normally scheduled to go off at six thirty. I dragged myself out of the bed and continued my daily routine. After I was completely ready for school, I went downstairs to wait for my mom. After all I didn't have a car to go anywhere.
After breakfast my mom took my by the doctor's office one last time to make sure that I was physically okay to leave the hospital. I got a hospital note just in case anything did happen. So, maybe I could have used that against people.
When I arrived at school they all looked at me. All wondering what had happened to me, not really caring who did it to me, they just wanted to grab the attention; the aura that filled my essence when I walked in the room, all because I was now known as the girl who was in a car crash.
At the end of the school day I couldn't wait to get out of school. They all bothered me to no end. They wouldn't leave me alone, wouldn't stop torturing me. I waited outside of the school for my mom to pick me up, when the most likely person in the world showed up. Sesshomaru.
"Need a ride?" he inquired. I placed my hands on my hips and nodded my head. He motioned for me to get in the car so I did. He seemed to be rather delighted to take me home. "Where would you like to go today Kagome?"
"Home." I simply said.
"No where else? No where…dare I say…fancy?" he asked and grinned stupidly at me, as though he was saying, 'I know you want me'
"Yes Sesshomaru, king of all fluffy, you caught me. I desperately want to go on a date with you somewhere extremely romantic. A candle light dinner, 'dare I say', would be quite enjoyable in your presence my love." I said with sarcasm dripping heavily from my tone. I could tell by the glint in his eye that he noticed my sarcasm.
"Well, Lady Kagome, I was actually considering it. Your beautiful charm just attracts me so much. Dearest Kagome, won't you go somewhere with me tonight?" Sesshomaru inquired and offered his hand out to mine. I delicately grasped his hand and kissed the top of it.
"It would be my pleasure." I said, resisting from laughing.
"Okay, where are we going?" Sesshomaru said in the most serious of tone. My mouth almost dropped to the floor when I realized he WASN'T joking.
