Chapter 4

"Before you start yelling at me Kags here me out. I was stupid for being a jealous over bearing jerk, so how about we forgive and forget and just have fun tonight eating pizza and just hanging out. No hidden agendas I promise." Inu Yasha looked at me with pleading eyes hoping that I would forgive him and of course I would.

"Fine, but no more of that bullshit love sick puppy stuff, okay?"

"LOVE SICK PU… Okay I promise," he went to hug me but seemed as if he was unsure of how I would react. I reassuringly wrapped my arms around his neck in a sisterly hug and he soon followed by wrapping his arms around my back. I felt eyes boring into my back and heard a low growl coming from behind me. Pulling a part from the sweet embrace we began talking and having fun like nothing ever happened.

When the guys went to get more pizza I felt someone tap my shoulder. Turning from my conversation with a wide eyed Neko I turned to see who it was who had tapped me only to stare into golden eyes descending upon me only to feel soft lips at the shell of my ear.

"Meet me out side in two minutes."

Blinking a bit I looked into his treasure eyes and nodded my head slowly. He immediately left the rink.

I looked back at Neko who was looking at me with a shocked face that soon turned into a smile.

"Kags has a crush and is going to get fucked" Neko teased in a sing-a-song voice.

"Hush I am not going to get fucked."

"So you have a crush?"

"No, now hush here come the guys." I glanced at the clock and noticed I needed to get out of there to meet up with Sesshomaru. "And here I go. Laters." I passed the guys and walked out the front door of the rink.

Upon stepping out I was promptly pulled behind the corner of the building and pressed against the wall.

" Sess if you just wanted me to fuck, you you're out of luck."

"Why is that? Your boyfriend wouldn't like it or something?"

"I don't have a boyfriend and it's because I want to wait."

"I don't smell innocence on you Kagome. I know you aren't a virgin."

"I never said I was you made an ass of yourself by assuming. Now why did you want me to meet you out here?"

"Be my girlfriend. Kagura is out of the picture at the end of the night…"

"After you get your last fuck out of her?"

" Yes actually. Now don't interrupt me again. I want you to be my girlfriend not just a fuck or something like that just go out with me 'til homecoming week starts and if you don't want to continue it then it will be over, okay?"

"What do I get out of this besides being called whore for dating you right after you break it off with Kagura?"

He pressed himself closer to me causing me to back further into the wall of the rink as his head sunk lower to mine whispering his answer against my lips as his hands trialed from my shoulders to my waist. "Me." He then crashed his lips into mine making me gasp. He took the chance and slipped his rough tongue into my mouth messaging and searching through my mouth.

"Kags? You out here?" Immediately pulling away from Sesshomaru I whispered a soft "later" and ran to Inu Yasha at the door.

"What's up Inu? Why are you out here?"

"I was wondering where you went. Why have you been out here so long? Are you feeling sick or something?"

"I'm fine Yasha let's go back inside and burn off some more energy before I go to work tomorrow, okay?" I gently pushed him towards the door turning to see Sesshomaru leaning against the wall with a smirk on his face giving me a sidelong glance.

Heading into the rink with Inu Yasha we showed the stamps on our hands to get back in and headed towards Neko, Tai, and Michael who were at the table still talking. I only caught the end of the conversation but I got the feeling I did not want to know. Instead of sitting down with them I just stole a drink from Tai's Mountain Dew and drug Inu Yasha to the skating floor. It seemed as though Georgie knew when I was coming and turned on "Hot Dog" by Limp Biskit, unedited of course. It also happened to be Inu Yasha's favorite song. We both shouted the words at the top of our lungs and accidentally ran into Kagura who was currently flirting with Naraku. Neither of us bothered to apologize to the slut and her boy toy, though now I could tell why Sesshomaru was going to break it off with her.

As we passed the entrance to the skating floor I saw Sesshomaru glaring at his 'girlfriend' hanging on another guy and skating over to them despite the skating rink employee yelling at him to go in the other direction and began yelling at them and yanked Kagura off the floor, and out of the skating rink. Inu Yasha and I snickered as Neko and the other two guys came up beside us ranting about how Kagura was not coming back after she gets yelled at by Ice Prince.

"So what happened outside Kags?" Neko asked gathering the guys' attention.

"Yeah Kags what happened you seemed kind of flushed when you came in." Michael was standing behind me as he asked making me realize with Tai on my other side and Inu Yasha in front of me I was officially blocked in.

"Um nothing I just needed some air…"

"Yeah okay… since when did you ever need air? I mean I've seen you swim. You take the least amount of breaths out of the team. No to mention you're the fastest on the team. Hints why you're the captain."

"Okay how did this go from Kags taking a break outside to her being the swim team captain? Come on Yasha stay focused. Now Kags why don't you tell your best boy toy Tai what you were really doing out there." Tai put his arm around me trying to coax me into admitting what was up but… no.

"You aren't getting anything out of me about outside except, yes something happened, but that's it. Okay? Good." It was then that my cell phone started ringing. I looked at the caller ID of my black Razor wondering who would be calling me at three in the morning I saw 'Mom' flashing on the display.

I answered it immediately knowing something was wrong if she was calling me this late. I exited the rink and stood outside to take the call.

"Mom is everything okay?"

"Kagome… your mom was taken to the hospital you should probably head up the…" not letting Totosai finish his sentence I hug up the phone and ran the six blocks to the hospital.

"Yes can I have a room number of Sakura Higurashi?" I was panting by the time I got to the reception area and blinking out the dots in my view from the bright lights of the hospital.

"Are you family, Miss?"

"No I'm a fucking stalker. Hell yes I'm family no tell me where the fuck she is!" I screamed slamming my fists on to the desk.

"She is in room 214."

"Thanks." I ran to the elevator knowing that the closest stairs were in the opposite wing of the hospital. After what seemed like forever I was finally standing outside my mother's hospital room.

Stepping in the room I saw Dr. Kei standing over my mother whom was being pumped full of some sort of liquid.

"Um… Doctor Kei? What's wrong with her?"

"Kagome, my dear, I'm sorry put I'm afraid that your mother is going to have to have surgery on her neck to get the wire out of there." He turned to me and stepped back in order for me to see my mother. I rushed over and sat on the side of the bed beside her.

"Mom, are you okay? I mean beside the wire jamming into your neck."

"Yes I'm fine they are giving pain killers for the pain so I should be fine."

"Doctor Kei? What are the risks of this surgery?"

"Well seeing as how the wire is in her neck there are multiple risks most of them being severe but with the pain she is feeling we have to do it. There is a possibility that she'll die if something goes wrong which is why we have to have you and her sign a release form."

"Why me? I mean I'm not of legal age yet. I'm only sixteen."

"You have your own company and after what happened you are legally responsible for yourself financially."

"Okay I'll sign but," I turned to my mother who had gotten a very drowsy look on her face, "Only if you're sure you want to do this."

"I'm sure of it honey." Why don't you go hang out with your friends and come back up tomorrow?"

"I think I'm going to stay here for the night if no one minds."

"Not at all. I'll bring the papers up tomorrow morning."

"Thanks." I moved to the recliner they had in the room and curled up with an extra blanket. Mom had already fallen asleep, I assume from the pain killers, and I joined her shortly after.

At the skating rink around 2:45

"What the hell are you doing with Naraku? He's a bigger whore than you! Not to mention the fact you're supposed to be my girlfriend! Damn it Kagura I've had it! It's over. Go fuck Naraku."

"Oh shut up Sesshomaru! We both know you want to get warmed up to Kagome so it will be easier to break the news to her about the arranged marriage! You were going to 'break up' with me tonight anyway why not make it even more believable? Don't get all pissy about it!" Throwing her hands in the air she walked into the skating rink as Kagome ran past her.
