Smile Like You Mean It
Chapter 32: White Night Fantasy
Enchantress came to me.
And said, meet me at the lake tonight
I hunt this song to the white
Through the shroud of snow I saw paradise
Peace, no more lies
Crestfallen soul
Rest for this night
Love is here
Right here under my wings
I dream of wolves
With them I run
For me she lengthened the night
I am home
I am in peace
Crestfallen soul
Rest for this night
Love is here
Right here under my wings

Him stared at her slowly fading blue body and felt something inside him he's never left before. The nurses he made rush over here were carefully looking over the body and only found several large gashes on her thighs, wrists, and neck.
They were baffled because it seemed like a suicide but back then they didn't have cutting. He's checked her over herself and just a moment ago he sent to special maids out to where her body was found to look for anything that might have caused this.
"I suspect it's been about three hours since she was killed." One of the nurses said moving her arms over and wrapping a think cloth around the frozen wrists.
"Three? I think its more like five, she has minor frostbite on her toes and We can help that but we'll need lots and lots (very professional talking here.) of warm objects, blankets and hot water cloths and pads." Another added gently rubbing the toes.
The only reason they were still acting like she was alive was because they said her heart might have frozen and that she didn't die, just passed out and being in the cold weather froze part of her organs, beyond the Tensaiga's power.
Of course, Sesshomaru didn't like this so much. Knowing that he had nothing to do to help. But he remembered that Kagome wasn't from this time, she was from on that hopefully had better medial services and medicines. So they were preparing a little thawing then getting her wrapped up for the quick trip to the other side of the well.
Her color was sort of returning to her face as they rubbed softly on her flesh hoping to generate some warm to keep her from complete frostbite to where they just leave her as she is because of the severe ness of the blue ice that was forming was once forming over her body.
They continued wrapping her body in many warm blankets to keep her as hot as they could and just before she looked like a roll of blankets with a silent head they put a winter cap they found in her book bag.
They looked at her slightly proud that they were able to keep her warm and Sesshomaru lifted her up holding her (Bridal Style if you will) and placed one of his kimono tops over her face (not the one he's wearing by the way) and moved her head away from where the wind will soon be blowing.
The maids and nurses nodded and POOF! (no no, that would be too funny for him more like, Zoom, or something in the like) he was out side gliding speedily over the snow as he carried her the fastest way he could to the well of four souls.
Within 20 minutes he was there cradling her still checking if she had gotten any colder then jumped into the stone darkness. He arrived on the other side with the mid day light shining painfully through the bit of a crack and a few snowflakes made their way through said crack (Crack, bwahaha).
He opened it with to a winter wonderland (haha, I'm in a giggling mood leave me be! Ew, I thought a worm was in my cheese sauce a moment ago, very nasty, but it was a pepper.) and a slightly higher temperature.
Following the beaten path he headed towards the door knocking slightly, he would have normally thrown the door open and just walked in demanding things for the girl but he needed to be polite with this family. Why, even he wasn't so sure.
The door slid open and Kagome's mother peered over the edge. "Oh Sesshomaru, how are- OH DEAR GOD? IS THAT KAGOME!"
"We need medical attention."
Her mother's eyes widened and she flung the door open and Sesshomaru walked in and into the living room setting her softly onto the couch and moved the cloth from her face which now had as much complexion as a dead girl can get.
The woman walked into the living room with her hand covering her eyes and forehead, but if she moved them she would have looked 10 years older.
"He'll be over in a moment...just…wait." She said placing herself slowly into an armchair that farthest from the dead Kagome. "What happened…why'd she…"
"There were marks on her thighs, wrists and neck." He said plainly, obviously missing how horrible that is in that time and age.
"Where!" her mother said jumping to her feet and lifting the cold body's wrist up and examining in. "Dear god…no!" She fell onto the ground and went into silent weeps.
What felt like hours passed as Sesshomaru stood there, eyes content on staying in focus of Kagome and her mother still on the ground crying when the door shook as the doctor showed up. The aging white haired man rushed in and check the girl over.
Sesshomaru was in the corner with his hair in a low ponytail to cover his ears, as Mrs.Hagarashi in formed him to do so, he could play off the eyes as contacts. After 15 minutes the doctor stood up and cleared his throat.
"Kagome's…heart is frozen, we can take her to the hospital and 'thaw' her out and start her heart again, she'll need stitches on her wrist and thighs and her neck is barely scratched. We'll need a blood test from her mother, brother and any other relative to give her more blood to make up for the ones lost. And...She'll need to go to a mental institute. As if you haven't noticed, she 'died' because she lost blood from attempted suicide and she'll need to stay there to be cured."
Her mother had a face mixed with happiness and sadness. Something he told her, she knew wouldn't work out.
"A blood test?"
"Yes.."
"None of us has the right blood type."
He looked at the young man sitting in the corner that was watching this whole thing unwrap.
"Is that her boyfriend?" Mrs.Hagarashi nodded (Mwahaha). "We'll check his blood, it'd be great to get one from family but someone just as close is great too." He wrapped a thick coat around him and picked her up wrapping her in many blankets.
Sesshomaru growled, narrowed his eyes and eyed the old man.
"Oh would you like to carry her?" He smiled weakly.
Sesshomaru got up and got Kagome comfortable in his arms and loomed over the old man as he headed them out into the white pre-night and towards the ambulance where the mother and Sesshomaru sat in the back, Mrs.Hagarashi holding her daughters hand.
They got there with a hoard of nurses waiting there to quickly take the girl, the doctor must have made a call while driving. They followed as fast as they could ( well, we all know Sesshomaru would have beat them all if he wasn't undercover.) but Mrs.Hagarashi got stopped to fill out paper work and Sesshomaru was ushered into a different room.
The nurse took out a needle and if Sesshomaru wasn't doing his best to find the mask of fear he would have screamed like a wee lass, haha no, I kid, but that would be funny no? Once his blood was drawn the nurse walked away fast with a few others and he sat there in silence staring down at the cotton swab with a little dab of alcohol laid.
Then the nurse returned and looked at him happily.
"Great news, your blood is almost identical, heh, minus the dna, to hers, you have a little something extra though, we haven't figured it out, but yes anyway, you'll need 3 pints (Holy shit!) of blood drawn, it will be slowly so your system can check up all right?" She said smiling her pearly white smile.
He just looked at her and nodded with his fingers wrapped together over the white dress shirt Kagome's mother gave him to wear.
"Well, fallow me and well get started." She turned a bit and waved her hands and he slowly got up and followed (little puppy). Then the retarded task of a good two hours of drawing blood from Sesshomaru and Thawing the frozen Kagome took hold, I'm lazy and wish not to sit here and type all that shit up with my half frozen fingers. Thank you very much. So yeah, Kagome's mom was in the waiting room doing what mothers should do, wring their hands together and hope their kid comes out normal.
Then Sesshomaru was first to come out, looking paler then normal, holding his arm and staggering a bit, though only someone who was concentrating on him complete would notice the stagger but hell, what's a writer to do?
He sat down and looked around the pale purple waiting room with tired looking eyes.
"Did your blood match?"
"Yes."
Her mother sighed with relief and then tension was the only thing left in her. Now she had to be sure her body would accept it. Then another hour passed, people came and left doctors and nurses would peek their heads over the corner to see if they were still there.
Kagome's mom went to sleep and with his newly found energy Sesshomaru stayed up watching the glowing tube that liked to talk..it's a tv you idiot! Sorry. And then a doctor came out, looking extremely exhausted.
He sat down in the chair across from the now awake mother and smiled weakly, giving a good sign.
"Well, we sewed her up, gave her blood and got her heart working again, she'll be under close watch for any brain damage other then that she's breathing normally."
Sesshomaru watched as Kagome's mother looked as if the weight of the world was just lifted off her shoulders.
So their they sat more minutes then an hour or two passed by and Kagome's mother was ushered into the room, where she came out looking happier then anything.
"They say she's okay, just drossy and a little bit confused, but they say that will all pass."
