All your fault
"Um...hello?"
Kagome's voice echoed off the walls of the room. The blue light was dim and it was difficult to see things. They were in some kind of room with walls that had file drawers everywhere. In the middle of the room was a bed with a lumpy figure in it.
"I guess she's still sleeping..." Sango whispered.
Unlike their human friends however, the four youkai had picked up an unpleasant scent. It lingered everywhere in the room and it seemed like it was coming out of the file drawers in the wall. But mostly from the bed.
"Ok, the first thing I'm going to do when I get out of this room, I'm going to sign her into another room. It's freakin' cold in here"
Kagome's teeth seemed to chatter as she went towards the lump on the bed.
"Kagome...Get back..." Inuyasha slowly said.
"What?"
"Don't touch it..." Ayame warned.
"Touch what?"
Kouga merely pointed at the lump on the bed. The stench was unbelievable; they refused to go anywhere near it. It was something like the eggnog Miroku left in the fridge too long, which Inuyasha had unfortunately run across when he was quite eager to quench his thirst.
Only worse.
"Come on guys," Sango rolled her eyes as she grabbed the blanket.
"No, don't!"
She pulled.
There was a pale man on the bed wearing nothing but a flimsy hospital gown.
"The hell?"
"I do not believe that that is Rin my dear..."Miroku muttered.
"Well he's freezing cold...we should get him out of here." Kagome said as she gently shook the man.
"Excuse me... mister... it's freezing in here...you have to go get another room for your sake..." Kagome said softly.
He didn't budge.
"Well he doesn't look like he's going to move," Sango said as she pulled his arm over her shoulder.
Kouga finally realized what the smell was and where it was coming from when Sango and Kagome supported the man as they walked towards them. He was about to say something. If it weren't for the intern.
"What in the seven hells are you doing!"
A man around his early twenties with white hair and purple hints in them was giving them a suspicious look.
"No respect for the dead! Imbecillic humans..." he muttered.
"Hey," Sango said with a ticked off tone, "He's soon going to be dead if we don't get him out of here! The room is friggin' cold!"
"Of course it's friggin' cold in here!" he practically yelled, "We would like to leave this room at a low temperature if we don't want dead bodies decaying right here in the hospital!"
"...Are you saying that this guy has...deceased?"
"Yes."
Kagome and Sango immediately dropped the man.
"Hey!" the intern yelled as the fragile body hit the floor with a not so reassuring 'crack'.
"Uh well... um.. see you later!" Kagome and Sango rushed out of the room leaving their other friends to deal with the pissed off intern.
"I can't believe you left us with that twisted guy..." Ayame muttered.
"Yes, if I hadn't pretended to be one of the patients here, we would've been stuck with him for hours," Miroku complained.
"But you did a pretty good imitation of a person high on cheese...that intern is either stupid or the world has come to its end to have people who get high on cheese inhabiting it..." Kouga mumbled.
"You're forgetting Rin," Kagome giggled.
"Oh yeah... then there is the girl who gets high on peanut butter..." Inuyasha muttered.
"I wonder if there's something she doesn't get high on."
"Fish." Was the short reply from Sesshomaru.
"Really? Wow... Rin, the girl who gets high on chicken doesn't get high over fish."
"Who would?" Inuyasha wrinkled his nose. "Even Kagome's curry taste better."
"Inuyasha was that a compliment? 'Cause it did not sound like one." Kagome snapped.
"Excuse me, but I, for one, like fish." Kouga interrupted.
And so Kouga and Inuyasha began to bicker with each other with the subject on whether fish taste better than curry, Kagome giving them heated glares as they made their way to the information desk. Kagura was busy flirting with a dreamy looking young intern who seemed to be having the time of his life talking to the nurse. Sesshomaru motioned the others to stay behind and he made his way up to the desk continuously reminding himself not to kill the woman when he got there. He waited until she noticed him, which did not take more than a second. Her neck seemed to snap as she quickly turned her gaze onto him, ignoring the dazed intern.
"I'm looking for a Rin Akita." His smooth cold voice that attracted many women seemed to ring in Kagura's ears.
"Why, she's getting so many visitors today," she laughed lightly as her greedy eyes inspected him.
"Will you please tell me her room number?" He ignored her comment and glared at her with his cold eyes.
"Well I could...But since I have a lot of free time why don't I show you her room personally?" She purred.
"Thank you."
She came over to him purposely swaying her hips and ignoring the stunned intern she had been flirting with a moment ago, and lead the way to the elevators.
"She's on the sixth floor," she called as she sauntered to the elevator.
Sesshomaru followed, keeping a distance from her and gestured at the rest to follow him.
Ding-
Kagura practically waltzed into the elevator and held the door open for him to come in. He was quickly followed by the rest to cause the once commodious elevator to be cramped. Kagura scowled.
"Are you purposely following us or do you coincidently happen to be going in the same direction?" She asked with an angry tone to Kagome, who she seemed to have recognized.
"They're with me," Sesshomaru simply cut her off.
Kagura looked extremely disappointed but reluctantly pressed the button for the seventh floor.
"I thought you said she was on the sixth."
"I guess I must've informed you wrong," Kagura simpered.
Ayame snorted in the corner, who was crushed to the wall by Miroku and Kouga. She knew perfectly well why Kagura had said the sixth.
Ding-
The passangers all piled out of the elevator as the door opened to reveal a group of people surrounding a doorway of a room not too far away from them. Sesshomaru detected the cheery voice he had so longed to hear for the last three days mixed in with the laughter and the squeals ringing the hallway.
Kagura merely scowled as she saw him eagerly lead the gang towards the room. They got through the group of people who immediately made way for them, realizing them as friends of the patient.
"Akita sensai, you won't die will you?"
"Sensai, sensai...why are the doctors so scary looking?"
"Sensai, is it true that you're sick because of your puppy? 'Cause if it is, that puppy is bad. You should spank him like my mommy does to Spot."
Kids around the age five or six were either sitting on the bed or the floor where it wasn't covered with presents and cards. All their attention was on an attractive young woman sitting on the bed, who was busily answering their questions.
"No, I hope I don't die Shotaro because I'm still young and there's a whole generation of Disney movies that are going to come out I'm eager to see,
and Ayumi, I was wondering that same thing because Dr. Naraku really freaks me out, and Hashiro, yes I am unfortunately down with this terrible cold, which you guys might catch from me if you don't leave soon, because of my very naughty puppy."
The children giggled as their happy teacher rambled on.
"Akita sensai, you have vistitors." A man who was standing out in the doorway called out. The adults seemed to be the parents of the kids.
The young woman looked up and immediately her honey brown eyes shone with joy as she saw her friends carefully making their way towards her through the sea of kids and presents.
"All right, kids it's time to go." A young man around his early twenties gathered the disappointed kids and lead them out of the room.
"Oh and sensai..." The young man came towards her and blushed as he personally delievered his present."This is for you. I hope you like it."
"Thank you Hitoro-san," the woman pecked him on the cheek causing him to blush a deeper shade of crimson.
Inuyasha heard the low growl of disapproval and saw at the corner of his eye, Sesshomaru glowering at the now dazed young man. He murmured a hurried 'you're welcome' and rushed out of the room.
"Goodbye Akita sensai!"
"Don't die ok?"
"Shotaru-chan!" The boy's mother scolded him.
"Hope you like my present sensai!"
"I dearly wish for your health Akita sensai."
Children and their parents left one by one, leaving the young woman with presents and words of good health.
"Man,who sent you all these?" Kouga was amazed at the number of flowers and get well gifts. He and Miroku were piling them onto the side to make room while the girls embraced each other.
"My secret admirers, the kids, and all the other people who care about me." The cheery woman laughed and offered them a box of chocolate.
"Rin, please don't tell me those empty chocolate boxes were all cleaned out by you," Kagome muttered as she eyed the trashcan full of empty sweet boxes.
"No, about three boxes were consumed by me, but the rest, the kids ate them all," Rin giggled.
"Great. Remind me to tell the nurses good luck being stuck with a sugar-high patient," Inuyasha smirked.
"Wow. You can open a flower shop with all the bouquets you got," Kouga smirked.
"I could...Mainly because I don't like roses or tulips...Oh, wait, I smell buttercups!"
"Seriously woman, you have a better sense of smell than me," Inuyasha commented.
"So did you get them for me? It's coming from Sess..."
"Actually, Inuyasha had so kindly given them to a brave woman who gave birth to a rather, as he put it, "healthy" child," Sesshomaru glared at him.
"Oh that must be Mrs. Tobita... Well, if you gave them to her that's fine. She's a really nice lady."
"What's this?" Sango pointed at the stacks of dvds in the corner of the room, just below the TV, which was playing "The Hunchback of NotreDame" (A/N I love that movie!)
"Disney movies from the kids. And don't turn the TV off. I need to see the part where Frollo drops to the deepest, hottest part of Hell."
"Geesh woman, you sure you're a kindergarden teacher?"
"Not now I'm not. Bankotsu is covering up for me and Jakotsu called me yesterday to take my time recovering."
"I guess Jakotsu has a little crush now huh? I knew it from the start."
"Little? I say big judging by the way he was squealing over the phone."
"Well, it's almost lunch and I'm getting hungry. Let's get some food," Ayame said as she glanced at Rin and Sesshomaru to get her friends understand what she meant.
"What do you mean it's almost lunch? It's only eleven," Kouga looked at the clock.
So much for understanding.
Ayame glared at Kouga and he quickly got her point.
"Oh yeah, you're right I'm starving. Come on houshi let's go." He pulled an oblivious Miroku out of the room followed by Sango and Kagome, who clearly got Ayame's intention, and Ayame, who was pulling a clueless Inuyasha out by the ear.
"Rin you want anything?" Sango poked her head in the door.
"Yeah. Frosted Flakes with extra sugar and could you get me a bottle of coke?"
"Um...Sesshomaru?"
He merely shook his head and Sango snapped the door closed ignoring Rin's "So am I going to get my lunch?".
Once she heard her friends heading towards the elevator, she spread out her arms towards him and he was immediately beside her, sighing as he buried his face into her hair, enjoying her sweet scent as her arms wrapped around his waist.
"You know I should punish you for getting me sick Fluffy." She mumbled into his clothing.
"You wanted to go to the park."
"Why was your wallet bill-less when we needed it the most?"
"Why did you bring so little money?"
It was their ordinary bicker. Although this time it was done half-heartedly. He stroked her hair and kissed her on the forehead.
"I only brought enough for the park beggars...And Fluffy, you're going to catch my cold if you don't stay away."
"Rin, you seem to have forgetten who I am..." he muttered in her ear as his eyes lingered on her cleavage which was only partly covered by her flimsy hospital gown.
"You are Sesshomaru Takahashi, the culprit who made me end up like this, stuck in a hospital full of freaky doctors on a sunny Saturday and who is currently interested in my upper body."
"I'm a demon," he whispered as his lips roamed her neck,"I am immune to human illnesses like yours..."
"Well, excuse me for being weak." She mumbled as his lips began to roam downwards.
"Maybe you can make it up for me..."
"Make up what? For being weak?"
"No, make up for the time you took away from me as I am here wasting a sunny Saturday in a "hospital full of freaky doctors" as you put it..."
"Sess, isn't it wrong to make out in a hospital? 'Cause I'm sure I heard it was..." His hands began to snake up her clothing.
"I'm about to find out."
