Chapter 4: Does this hurt?

After swimming in his thoughts Sesshomaru pulled into the Medical Center parking lot. Unlike Kagome's Tinker Toy Company being the largest around the world, his Medical Center was the largest in Tokyo, and had the best doctors. It was his fathers until he passed away, and left him in charge. Sesshomaru took his money in getting the hospital remodeled, which was almost finished on every floor except his office. So he got scrunched up in a mini trailer out back to do his paper work. He turned off the engine and sat there. He didn't want to wake her up, because she was still sleeping peacefully. As he watched her sleep, he noticed how beautiful she looked. Her dark raven locks looked soft to the touch, and the sun shining down on her sleeping form added an angelic look like she was sent down from heaven. Then there were the shadows, which seemed to endlessly caress her face making him want to trace each and every shadow on those delicate features.

"God you're so beautiful" He whispered, as he started reach out and touch her face. How would she feel under his touch? Only inches away from her delicate face, she stirred and slowly opened her eyes. He withdrew his hand quickly and gripped the steering wheel. After a few seconds he turned around, and smiled nervously while scratching his head.

"Umm, did you sleep well?" He let out a nervous cough, as she smiled sweetly at him.

"Yes I did." Kagome sat up and started to open the door, when he was suddenly there and helping her out.

"That is weird, how did he get over here so fast." She looked at him dumbfounded, and he let out a cough. Kagome suddenly stood up and had forgotten all about her ankle. A pain shot up through her leg, and she gasped as it went numb. She realized that she was falling and let out a shout. She closed her eye's fearing that the hot cement would collide with her face, but as she waited a few several moments later; she realized she never hit the ground. All she could fill was strong arms wrapped around her waist. Kagome looked up at Sesshomaru and felt his warm breath caress her cheek. She blushed deeply while looking into his golden eyes, and saw that his face was coming closer. Suddenly she saw Inuyasha eyes, and froze. Her heart sank, and that warm feeling disappeared, and formed a wall of ice around her.

"I-I' am so sorry" She pulled away and sat back down in the car, and looked down at the ground. She just couldn't bear to look up into his face, because she knew she had hurt him.

Sesshomaru just stood there and looked at her. Hurt began to wrap itself around him, and so was the guilt of her pains that he recognized so clearly in those grayish-blue eyes; it was like---like he felt it. He began to walk up to the medical center, and grabbed a wheel chair for her, which was sitting outside alone, and that's how he began to feel.

'Damn, why did you have to go and try to kiss her when you know she's in pain' He silently cursed him self and walked up to her. "Here you go Kagome" He grabbed her hand and helped her gently sit down in the wheel chair.

"Thank you," She looked up at him and she felt the need to break the tension, so she began to talk to him "So, Sesshomaru. How long have you been a doctor?"

"Uh, well about 14 years, minus the 4 years I went to college, so I guess that's about 10 years"

"Wow, you must be a real good doctor" 'Good going Kag, that was really stupid" She bit her lip and looked ahead at the trees.

"Yeah," He let out a small chuckle "I was at the top of my class, but there was always someone who thought they were better than me, but I didn't want any competition. I just went there to get my degree, and fulfilled my fathers' wish before he passed away"

"Oh I'm so sorry" Kagome looked down at her lap, feeling rather sad for him.

"Hey, don't worry about it. He was a good man and died of old age. So when he passed away, he left me this." He stopped in front of the doors, and pointed to the medical center.

Kagome was in awe. The Medical Center had to be two times larger than the Tinker Toy Company. The outside looked like a medieval mansion. There were colorful stained windows, and some were huge, also in the windows seemed to be a picture of people in bed, and a doctor standing above them, and both were smiling happily. She had never seen a Medical center look like this before. She giggles like a little school girl and looked up at him.

"This is the most beautiful Medical center I've ever seen!"

"Err..thank you" Sesshomaru blushed for some reason and scratched his head. Then he felt her eyes on him, and he suddenly looked up at her. She giggled and he let out a nervous cough, and began to act all cool. "Well, lets get you in here so I can check out that ankle of yours" He gave her a corny smile began to push her, as the glass doors open for them. The cold air from inside rushed out and cooled off his hot face. 'Wait, why is my face so hot! How can I be reacting like this, and I just met her!" He mentally slapped himself in the face, and walked to an available check up room.

"It smells like new paint in here. Did you remodel this place?" She let him help her on the table/seat thingy (I don't know what it's called... --) and looked around the room. It was colored a bright red, with ceramic counters, and an elegant porcelain sink. 'Whoa, his dad must have had some big bucks to help him remodel this place' She looked around again, and then felt a pain shoot up her leg.

"HOLLY CRAP!" Kagome shouted and the pressure became intense, and she looked down at him while he probed her swollen ankle.

"Does this hurt in his area?" He began poking at a part of her ankle that was swollen.

Kagome flinched, and began to get angry. "HELL YEAH IT HURTS! DO YOU WANT ME TO BREAK YOUR HAND AND START POKING AT IT! THEN START ASKING YOU 'DOES THIS HURT!' " She looked down at him, a noticed the shock on his face and she froze. 'Oh my god I just yelled at him for doing his job!"

Sesshomaru was looking up at her angry face in shock. She just yelled at him, and it really hurt his feelings, but damn did she have a temper. He got a bandage and started to gently wrap it. After he finished he stood up, and began to write something down.

"Okay, you have a sprained ankle. It's a minor sprain, but you're lucky you didn't break it. There are a few scratches that are not deep. So every night put Neosporin on the wounds before bandaging." She watched him turn around and looked into his eyes. She saw that he was hurt, as he handed her a piece of paper. "Here is a prescription for a medicine that will numb the pain during it healing process"

Sesshomaru handed her the piece of paper and was still hurt. He looked at her and saw that she had guilty stamped across her forehead. She bent her head as her hair spilled across her shoulders. He didn't mean to hurt her, but probing at sore spots seemed to help him figure out what was wrong, and that it was his job. He bent down to her eye level, and cupped her face in his hands and gently wiped away her tears.

"Kagome, don't cry. Please. I've seen you cry enough today. I want to see your beautiful smile that I saw just out side the door." He looked up at her. His eyes begging for her to smile that beautiful smile that lit up the room so brightly like the sun. She bit her lip and fell into his arms, her sobs increasing at the nape of his neck

"I'm s-so sorry. I j-just don't know w-what got in t-to me!" She hugged him tightly as she cried.

Sesshomaru held her close to him, feeling so complete with her arms wrapped about him. He never wanted to let her go, but when her sobs slowly stopped. She pulled away from him just a little and looked up at him. He knew she was in pain, but he wanted to stop all this. He wanted this moment last forever. Then he was lost deep within her eyes. It was like swimming in a deep ocean, and wrapped in her arms is where he wanted to be…forever.

Kagome looked back up into his eyes and searched deeply, and saw no traces or even the thought of Inuyahsa. For the first time since she's meet this man, all she could see is Sesshomaru. The man who was holding her so lovingly in his arms and slowly erasing the pain deeply embedded in her soul. She new this is where she should be at this moment in time. Closing her eyes, she leaned closer to him. Neither of them new who moved first, but their lips met at the same time and engulfing her in a void of pure joy.

Sesshomaru heart almost leaped out of his chest when their lips met. Her lips were soft as a rose petal, but also as sweet a honey. He pulled her as close to him as he could. Only their lips held the secret of how much they really needed each other. He ran his hands through her hair, then down her back. She clung to him like he was the only thing left in her pain filled world, and was slowly opening to him. That was until a nock at the door interrupted their sweet moment.

"Dr. Sesshomaru, can I come in?"

Kagome and Sesshomaru sprang away from each other as the door opened.

"Ah, Blade do come in!" Sesshomaru silently cursed his employer for interrupting the most wonderful moment in his life.

Blade twitched nervously as he looked over at the women sitting in the chair blushing furiously. "Oh no, I interrupted something." Then he looked up at his boss who looked like he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. "Oh my god! Sesshomaru was actually making out, and with a girl! I can't believe it, and after all this time I thought he was gay. Oh well there goes my chance." Blade suddenly snapped into reality, when Kagome coughed nervously.

"Ah yes, I was coming to hand you your paper work sir."

"Thank you Blade. Just sit it there on the counter" He insisted, and waited for Blade to leave.

"See you later Dr, and nice to meet you darling!" Blade blew Kagome a kiss as he strutted out of the room.

"Uh Sesshomaru, who was that uh..guy" Kagome watched as the man strutted properly out the door.

Was that guy gay?

Of course he is you idiot

Hey….who are you?

I'm your conscious who else.

Maybe you are my conscious

God! Who else would I be? A fluffy monkey

Man you annoying

Thank you.

"Oh that was Blade; he's been here as long as me." Sesshomaru suddenly saw the far away look on her face "Kagome are you okay?" Sesshomaru waved a hand in front of her face to see if that would get her out of that weird daze.

Kagome jumped and looked up at him. " Yeah I was fine, just thinking" She looked up at Sesshomaru who was grinning at her with a funny look on his face.

Yeah your thinking about how hot he is.

Shut up you annoying voice..

That would be conscious to you..

Grr..

Kagome waited for it to reply, but decided that it gave up. "YES! I succeeded!" Kagome shouted.

"Excuse me?" Sesshomaru suddenly turned around and stared at her. "Why had she just said that?"

He kept on looking at her as she suddenly turned beet red and muttered and apology. She looked good in that color. It made her really stand out. He laughed and grabs the folders that Blade had left for him, and helped her in the wheel chair.

"Well Kagome where shall I be taking you now?" He looked down at her. She looked lost for a moment the finally spoke.

"Can you take me to the hotel across the street?" She pointed at the Days Inn, that was not even two block away from the medical center.

"I can do that!" He grinned and helped her in the car., and got in himself. "Well at least I'll know where she'll be" he said silently to himself as he pulled into the Days Inn (Short drive, eh?).

"Thank you Sesshomaru. Thank you for everything" She placed a hand over his and looked deeply into his eyes. There was something about this man that started to make her feel whole. Maybe this was fate. She didn't know, but she wanted to figure out why he looked so lovingly at her like he did. She Gave him a kiss on the cheek, and hobbled out of the car, as she made her way to the door, she turned around and smiled. This was shocking because this was the first genuine smile since the incident with Inuyasha.

Sesshomaru smiled and nodded "Until we meet again, my fallen angel." He sighed and pulled out of the drive. Tomarrow he was going to take her out for coffee, and get to know her a little better, but as he looked in the rearview mirror he couldn't ignore the sinking feeling in his chest. Something bad was going to happen, but he didn't know what.
