(chapter eight)
Kagome sighed, walking down the stairwell to get to her car. She was feeling tired and didn't want to put up with any bull shit. Higurashi, she thought a voice had called to her. She unlocked her car with a beep and put documents that needed reviewing in her trunk. Higurashi! She sighed.
"Doctor Higurashi!" shouted a male voice, running and tripping in front of her. "Doctor Higurashi!"
"What is it?" she asked, not looking up at the fellow.
"That man, who was shot in the leg… he is your brother, isn't he?" asked the man, Dr. Haru. She narrowed her eyes at him. What brother? Sota was in college, she hadn't seen her brother for over ten years, not even pictures.
"Could be," she said, sitting down in her car and turning on the ignition. "It is amazing how many people are related to each other."
"His name was Sota Higurashi," he said and paused, trying to get a reaction from her. She buckled her seatbelt, staring into space through her windshield.
"That's my brother, my younger brother." She began to back out. "Don't tell him where I live though, I have no need to see him, or speak to him."
"You must be hungry, miko," he said, taking her hand and leading her out the door. With the other arm, she tried to rub away the goose bumps, they were odd for even being there. He turned into a room, still holding her wrist tightly, almost like he was angry with her. She whimpered once, and he let go.
There was a huge dining room table, several chairs around each side. "Sit, sweet Kagome," he said, sitting on the other side. "Now." She sat down, not feeling any emotion for this man. No hate, no fear, no anger.
She looked down at the food put in front of her, she didn't understand at first. But the smells of the food ran up her nose like tiny spiders and bit her. Her mouth watered, slightly. She put her hand to her mouth as if trying to hide her smirk. She swallowed hard and ate the food in front of her.
"Home, again," mumbled Kagome, closing the door behind her. "Good thing I don't work the whole graveyard shift." She walked upstairs and went into the shower immediately. In the O.R., someone had brought cake and turkey. She had no clue why, but ate her hearts' content of it, before being called into surgery, again.
She stepped into the shower, doing her normal routine and reflecting on her life.
Before she knew it, she had eaten the whole meal in front of her: five bowls of different fish and rice, and over-kill of sushi. He had smiled and followed her as she walked out of the room. He was finding her amusing. She walked back into the room she was in earlier, and fell asleep on the bed.
Kagome got out of the shower quickly and fell asleep in her bed.
