Blood Lust Chapter three: An Old Friend
Kagome woke up to complete darkness and the low beeping of her heart monitor. She turned her head to face the window and saw a dark familiar shadow lingering on the hospital's front yard. 'I wonder who it is…' Kagome thought to herself as it came closer to her side of the building.
"Hey Miroku, it looks like that Kagome girl woke up." Sango said, looking into the screen that monitored Kagome's room. "Damn, it's already 3:30a.m..." Sango said as she looked at her watch. Sango hated the graveyard shift because when she got home she could barely stand up and slept like a rock for the rest of the night and half the day.
"Well, time goes by when you're having fun..." Miroku said, reaching towards her backside.
"Pervert!" Sango shouted. She slapped Miroku, leaving a red slap marks on his cheek. Miroku was known around the hospital as the pervert with the cursed hand. But everyone knew that it wasn't really cursed, but just an excuse to be perverted. And the small nurse uniforms weren't much help.
"Well anyways, I wonder what they're gonna do about Kagome..." Miroku said, leaning over Sango's shoulder, also looking at the screen. When Miroku had looked her up he found out about all the horrible things that had happened. Mainly all he knew was stuff about her family but he also knew a little about what had happened with Naraku and Kikyo.
"Who?" the brown-headed girl asked, not knowing what Miroku was talking about. Sango hadn't been paying much attention to him due to her lack of sleep which was now making her slightly grumpy.
"The police... I doubt that they would send her to a foster home even with a new identity, and they won't put her in the eye witness protection program because she has no other family and she's to young to provide for herself..." Miroku said, rubbing his chin in deep thought.
"Well do you think that we should suggest her getting a youkai body guard?" Sango asked tiredly. About one and a half years ago someone had opened an agency that rented out youkais, hanyous, and humans out as body guards.
"Hey Sango, that's a great idea!" Miroku said, smiling brightly. He stood up and clapped his hands together loudly.
She looked at Miroku and rolled her eyes. "How can you be this energetic this late in the morning?" Sango asked, dropping her head onto the table with a 'thud'.
"I'll give the police department a call and ask them." Miroku said. He picked up the phone and began to dial the number. 'Ring ring'
"Hello?" asked a scruff man's voice.
"Hi, may I speak to the man who is responsible for the placement of a girl named Kagome Higurashi, please?" Miroku asked kindly.
"Hold on a sec." the man said. You could hear his footsteps disappear. Then you could hear soft talking in the background and then more footsteps.
"Hello?" came a softer voice man's voice.
"Hi Mr. Onda, I'm Miroku Hoshi, a doctor at the Shikon No Tama hospital, and I wanted to speak to you about Kagome Higurashi. My friend and I were suggesting you get a youkai bodyguard to protect her..." Miroku said. "Uh huh, yeah, right, ok thanks." Miroku said. He hung up the phone and turned to Sango.
"What did he say?" she asked calmly.
"He said it's fine as long as Kagome agrees." Miroku shrugged and sat down.
"I'll talk to her about it later." Sango said, turning back to the monitor.
Kagome continued to watch the shadow as it slowly made it's way to her window. As the figure slowly opened Kagome's window she gasped when she saw its face. "Kouga..."
"Hey Kagome, I heard on the news that they found you and that you would have to go somewhere to live so I'm offering my services to you!" Kouga said. He jumped in the window and sat on the edge of her bed and took her hands in his.
"Uhh thanks...I guess..."Kagome said, putting on a uneasy smile.
"So what's the name of the bastard that hurt you, I'll kill him?" Kouga asked, enraged.
"Na-Naraku, wait how did you know I was here?" Kagome asked suddenly.
"Oh, well it was on the news!" Kouga said, smiling. Kagome's face dropped. 'If it was on the news then Naraku might know where I am and he may come after me!' Kagome thought. 'Oh no! He's probably looking for me right now!' Kagome thought frantically.
"Wait Kouga...how did you know what room I was in?" Kagome asked.
"I sniffed you out of course!" he said pointing to his nose, sounding really pleased with himself. Of coarse, Kouga was a wolf demon so it would be no problem for him to find her.
"Oh yes, of course..." She said duly. She turned her head to the side and let out a soft sigh.
She had known Kouga since kindergarten and he had always called her his 'woman' since day one. He always had followed her around and given her stuff all the time, in hopes to make her like him, but all in all...she was sick of it. The day she was kidnapped, she was supposed to tell him that she didn't have any interests in him, but before she could, he had given her a golden necklace for her birthday with a locket on the end that had a heart shaped diamond in the center, and she just couldn't bring herself to say it, and she never got the chance to either so he was completely oblivious.
"Hey Miroku, there's some one in Kagome's room..." Sango said, looking at the monitor. She stood up quickly and pointed to the screen. Miroku leaned over and once he saw it, he to was on his feet.
"Damn it! I'll be right back." Miroku said as he shot out of the room.
"I'll come with you..." Sango said lightly as she began to run after Miroku.
They quickly ran up the stairs to save time and ran towards Kagome's room. Miroku kicked open the door and said, "Who the hell are you!"
Kagome and Kouga just looked at him confused. "Uhh... Kouga, Kagome's fiancé..." he said slowly.
"I'm not your fiancé!" Kagome shouted, yanking her hands away.
"Ohh, you just don't wanna say it in front of them. She gets really embarrassed." Kouga said as he turned to face Sango and Miroku.
Kagome took the glass of water from the nightstand next to her and was about to make it come crashing down on Kouga's head when Sango said, "Uhh Kagome I need to talk to you," she looked at the guys and said, "alone..."
"But I-." Kouga said.
"LEAVE!" Sango shouted. Kouga ran out quickly and Miroku slowly followed, shaking his head slowly, closing the door behind him.
"So what did you want to talk to me about?" Kagome asked, placing her elbows on her legs and propping her head on her palms.
"Well, Miroku called the man who is in charge of where you are to go when you get out of this hospital and suggested that he let you get a youkai bodyguard to protect you. He said that it was fine as long as you agree, so what do you say?" Sango asked.
"Uhh...why can't I go to my other family?" Kagome asked.
"Well the rest of your family has been murdered by what seems to be Naraku's henchmen. I'm sorry..." Sango said lightly with sympathy in her voice.
Kagome looked horrified. She buried her head into her knees and wrapped her arms around her legs and cried. "F-f-fine, I'll get one..." Kagome said, still crying. 'Anything to keep Naraku away from me.' She thought.
"Well, seeing how you're doing much better, I bet we can go find you one tomorrow!" Sango said pleasantly. "Well have a good night's sleep, we have a bid day tomorrow." She said as she walked out of the room and closed the door softly.
"Well, what did she say?" Miroku asked calmly.
"She said yes and I'm gonna take her to get one tomorrow." Sango said as she walked away slowly and then down the steps.
"What? She said yes to what!" Kouga shouted as he chased after Sango.
A/N: OO, so who will the new bodyguard be? Huh, huh? Well anyways please R&R!
