Ch. 7

Sango watched as her mom left. She looked down at the sleeping Kagome. She carefully got out of her seat so as not to wake her, and started up the stairs. She noticed Kagome shivered every once in a while. So she pulled her closer to her. She didn't want Kagome to catch a fever, or something while she was healing.

She entered her room, and made her way to the bed. It seemed the servants were already there considering the bed was made and the clothes picked up. She just sighed and pulled the blankets back on the bed She tried to set Kagome down, but she had a too strong a grip on her shirt, and Sango didn't want to hurt her already part-broken arm. Kagome started whimpering when she felt Sango trying to pull away from her.

"Sango...Sango..."she said in her sleep. She tugged on Sango's shirt again. Her ears flattened against her head sadly when Sango tried to pull away again.

Sango sighed in defeat and laid down next to the girl. She pulled the covers over both of them. She looked at the sleeping girl hoping she would let go. 'She has a strong grip for someone who has a broken arm. That must be the first thing she is trying to heal.'She thought. She was startled out of her thoughts when Kagome laid her head on Sango's chest. Sango felt a blush coming up onto her face. 'Why is she getting so close?' Sango didn't want to think about it anymore. She fell asleep next to Kagome.

Few hours later

Sango woke up to a pair of silver-blue eyes staring at her. Sango jerked back in surprise, but Kagome cringed and curled into the fetal position. Sango quietly scolded herself before trying to calm Kagome down. She leaned over and started to rub her back in small circles.

"Shh, there's nothing to worry about. You just startled me a bit. It's alright now." she said in as soft a voice as possible.

Kagome looked up at her with frightened eyes but those slowly disappeared when she saw who it was. She smiled an innocent smile and slowly uncurled. Her ears perked up, and started to twitch in delight. Then a small rumble came from the girl's stomach. A light blush covered her cheeks. She looked up at Sango, and cocked her head to the side.

Sango just laughed lightly. She opened her mouth to reply, but was interrupted when he stomach growled also. "Well it seems as if both of us are hungry. Come on let's go see if Lunch is ready." she said. She gently picked Kagome up, and carried her back down the stairs.'Man I wish Mom would have installed that elevator.' she thought.

They got to the table and found all of the food there waiting. Sango looked around and saw her mother in the kitchen bringing out more food. She set Kagome down in a chair, and went to help. She grabbed the biggest platter from her mother and went to set it down. She almost burst out laughing at what she caught Kagome doing.

Kagome was trying to figure out what the shiny things were. She was looking into the back of the spoon at her reflection. But that wasn't what made Sango almost laugh. It was the fact that Kagome was making faces at it. She would smile, and then make a sad face, followed by a snarl. She soon got mad at it imitating her so she started to bang it on the table as best she could.

Sango quickly set the platter down and went to stop Kagome from either breaking the spoon, or breaking the table. She also didn't want Kagome to hurt herself even more."Kagome that's a spoon. It's something you eat with. Can you say spoon?"

"S..Spppp...spooooooo...nnnnnn...spoooonnnn...spooon...spoon." Kagome said. A bright smile came to her face when she got it right.

"That great Kagome! Now..." she picked up a fork. "This is a fork." She said gently. Kagome just stared at her.

"Fffffff...oooorrr...foooooorrrrr...kkkkkk...fooooorrrrrrkkk.foorrrkkk.fork...fork." she said. She looked up at Sango, and her eyes were shining with wonder.

Sango just giggled before congratulating the girl. "That was wonderful Kagome. Your getting the hang of this." she said praising the young girl. Kagome looked up at her happily. "Now we'll do some more later. Right now lets eat." she said. She picked Kagome up, and set her on her lap. She pulled some plates over and filled them with food. Kagome was starting to fidget a little. She really wanted the food.

Kagome reached forward and pulled both of the plates to herself, and waited for Sango. When she looked up she got scared. Sango's face had turned to a stern, meanish looking one.

Sango's face instantly softened at the scared look on Kagome's face. "Oh..Kagome it's okay. I'm not going to hurt you at all. I was just wondering why you took my food." Kagome looked at the food and reached her hand out to the food. She whimpered at bit to show she wanted it. "No Kagome that's mine. Yours is right next to it."

Kagome looked up at her. "Mmm...iii...nnnneeeee...mmmiiiiii...nnneeee...miiinnneeee. ..miinnneee...mine.mine. Mine." she cried out. She pointed back to the food. "Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine." she said over and over again.

Sango just sighed. "Kagome don't worry your going to eat your food." She leaned over and grabbed a plate. She took one of the fork, and scooped some food onto it. "Here you go." Kagome opened her mouth wide, and happily chewed the food that went in. She didn't eat as much as the day before, but it was still a good amount. Soon Kagome fell asleep on Sango.

Sango looked down at Kagome. "Kagome you can't go to sleep just yet. You have to take a shower first. You do know what a shower or bath is don't you?" Kagome shook her head no. "No? Oh, well. I'll just have to give you one I guess." she turned to her mother. "Thanks for lunch mom. It was great." Kagome purred in agreement.

Shya just giggled. "Thank you girls. I think it's a good idea also to show her how to take a bath. Now both of you hurry upstairs. Kagome can you walk yet? I'm just wondering." she asked.

Kagome looked sleepily at her, and then tried to move her injured leg. Her face scrunched up with pain so she stopped. A small whimper escaped. She then tried her ribs, and arm. She could use her arm to some extent, but her ribs were only partially healed. She looked at Shya and shook her head no.

"So your ribs, and legs are still broken, but your arm is healed to some extent. Thank you very much." she said. She got up and left.

Sango just stared at her mother. "Ok...that was weird." she turned back to Kagome. "Come lets get you into the bath." she picked her up and carried her to the bathroom.

As soon as they got there Kagome eyes started to wander the room. The room was all a midnight blue color. The ceiling was black, with white splashes as stars. Her bathtub, shower, sink, and toilet were all white. She had a white floor, and black rugs.

Sango set Kagome down on the toilet and went to start the bath. She gathered everything she would need, and put it right beside the tub. Then she went back to her room quick to grab some clothing. She set them on a rack so they wouldn't get wet. "Kagome you got to get undressed now. I'll help you with taking off your bandages." she said. Kagome nodded and carefully started to take off her clothing. She was shy at first, but then noticed Sango doing it easily. She looked at her, and waited. She couldn't help but notice how beautiful the older girl looked.

Sango's body was slim, and well muscled. Her long luscious legs were long and supple. Her arms had well toned biceps. Her chest was well defined, and she had curves in all the right places. Her stomach was toned, and had a brief indent of a six-pack. All in all she was perfect in Kagome's eyes. A small word came out of Kagome's mouth, but Sango didn't hear it. "Mine."

Sango turned around and looked towards the almost naked Kagome. Bandages covered here arms, legs, and stomach. Even then they couldn't cover the girls curves, and toned muscles. She had a thin waist, and a well defined chest. Her stomach had a gentle six-pack, but that was from lack of food. Her biceps were toned, and so were her legs. Her gentle, and innocent eyes showed how much of a childish mind she had. But, deep within those eyes was a great pain, and sorrow of being lonely and tortured.

Sango walked over to the girl, and knelt down in front of her. "Ok Kagome the bandages are coming off. It might hurt a bit, because the blood dried on them." she told the girl. She slowly started to peel off the bandages on her stomach. The closer she got to the end the harder it was to pull off. When she was to the part that was touching the skin, Kagome started to whimper in pain. Sango quickly stopped and grabbed a cup full of water. She dumped it on the bandages to try and soften the dried blood. It worked. She did the same thing to all of Kagome's bandages. The cuts on her stomach, arms, and legs were almost healed. Her leg was still a nasty black, and blue, and her stomach and ribs were much better. Her arm had almost no signs of injury left on them.

"These are looking great Kagome. We'll get you cleaned off, and put lighter bandages on you this time." she said picking Kagome up again. Sango blushed as Kagome's warm skin touched her. 'Why am I feeling this way about her? She's just a friend.' Kagome was blushing also, but it was her demon side acting up. 'This girl would be a fine mate. You should really take her when you feel well again. I accept this girl as mine. No one can have her but me.' Her other two agreed that she would be a good mate, but shook their heads at the arrogance of the demon.

Sango slowly entered the tub, and lowered Kagome into the water. Kagome noticed that her body kept going under, and quickly wrapped her arms around Sango's neck and buried her head on the side of her face. Sango stopped lowering her, and held tight. "Kagome I won't let go of you. I'm just going to lean you against me so I can wash you. After a while you can start washing yourself." she said. She felt Kagome nod. Sango reached forward and grabbed the soap. She lathered some up and started to wash Kagome's back. When she finished with that she lifted one of Kagome's legs out of the water, and would wash them. Then she turned Kagome over, and started to wash her arms. She was purposely avoiding the torso area. When she finished everything she took a deep breathe and started on the stomach. She could feel the muscled move ripple beneath her hand. She slowly worked her way up to Kagome's chest. She quickly, but gently rubbed her chest down. She felt Kagome growling/purring. She arched her back into Sango's hand. Sango quickly pulled away.

"Th..there..all clean. Now you rest a bit, and I'll wash myself quick. Then we'll get to work on your hair." she said. She set Kagome by the edge, and started to wash herself. She was having trouble with her back. She was trying to reach when she felt two hands, and then a body touch her back. She whipped her head back and saw Kagome laying across her back. One of Kagome's arms wrapped around her neck to lay on her chest, while the other lathered up some soap. She did just as Sango did to her. Her gentle hand moved across her smooth back. When Kagome was done Sango dipped herself underwater to get the soap off. Then she spun around and grabbed Kagome bringing her into her lap.

"Now for that hair of yours." she said grabbing the shampoo. She squirted some of it in her hand, and then gently yet firmly lathered it into Kagome's Raven-black hair. She felt Kagome sigh in pleasure at having her hair washed. She reached the ears, and gently rubbed them laughing when Kagome's purr became louder. "Kagome I'll push your ears down, and you go under water. We need to get the soap out of your hair." she told the girl. Kagome nodded, and started to go under. Sango held down Kagome's ears as she went. They did this a couple of times to get the soap out. After Sango set Kagome in her lap, and did her own hair.

Kagome watched with fascination as the liquid quickly became suds. Some of it dripped down off of Sango's head, and onto her shoulders'. Kagome thought it was soap to wash your body with so she grabbed it, and started to wash the closest thing to her. That happened to be Sango's breast. Sango took a sharp inhale of breath as Kagome's warm hands started to rub the soap on. A small moan of pleasure escaped from her mouth. She quickly caught herself and grabbed Kagome's hands. "No that's the wrong soap Kagome." and she quickly rinsed off, and got out. She quickly grabbed the clothing and brought them back to Kagome, and grabbed two towels. She dried off both herself and Kagome blushing all the while. She quickly but carefully put the bandages on Kagome, and then clothed her. She quickly put her own clothing on, and picked Kagome up and carried her to bed. She laid down beside Kagome to make sure she wouldn't move her leg. Kagome just flipped over, and hugged her. The last word that came out of her mouth shocked Sango to no end.

Her last word before falling asleep was...Mine.
