I woke up with a pounding in my head, I groaned and reached my heavy limbs to my temple and used my small fingers to rub circles on the tender spot. Once the throbbing secede i turned my head to the side taking in the white floors and walls, I sniffed, it smelt like a hospital. My nose crinkled at the penetrating smell. I sentenced around the room, trying to figure out who was in here. Al I sensed were demons, but they didn't seem to be trying to cause me harm, so I didn't make a move to leave, instead preparing myself to get up. Finally, after several minuets, I took a deep breath and put my elbows underneath me, I could feel my arm and back muscles tightening up at the motion, I stayed like that until they relaxed a little, then quickly forced my self up, my body screamed at me in protest. I whimpered quietly, Begging my muscles to relax and stop hurting.
"What are you doing sitting up?" I heard someone whisper panicky. I looked over to see a small blonde demon rushing over to me. I looked at her confused.
"Why can't I sit up?" I asked looking at her suspiciously. She stopped next to my bed and pulled two whit tablets out of her pockets.
"Take these miko." She said pushing them into my mouth and giving me a cup of water from the table by my bed. I took the water and swallowed quickly, the taste of pain killers causing bail to come up my throat. I took the water and chugged it down.
"Miko-sama, you must lay down." She said, lightly pushing my shoulders, I allowed her to push me down.
"Where am I?" I asked as she worked to fix my covers
"You are in the hospital wing of the Inutashios house." She said quietly, not looking into my eyes, I frowned and nodded.
"How did I get here?"
"The young Sesshomaru found you and brought you here." She answered swiftly.
"Whats your name?" I asked watching her face closely. Her head shot up in surprise. Her eyebrows rose, and her eyes widened.
"You wish to know my name miko-sama?" She asked, amazement in her voice. I nodded and smiled.
"My name is Megan." She said shyly. I smiled up at her. She smiled back down at me, she turned and walked away, leaving me to myself. I closed my eyes, the killers kicking in, reviling me of my pain and pulling me into a deep sleep. I woke a couple of hours later feeling entirely refreshed, though my muscles still felt a little stiff. I sat up and yawned, stretching. I gained the very much unbusy room and immediately gaining Megans attention, She excused her self and walked over.
"How are you feeling Miko-sama." She asked polightly, I smiled at her.
"I'm feeling fine, thank you Megan." I answered smiling, she had blushed when I said her name. I frowned and realized how thirsty I was.
"Though I am a little thirsty. Could I have a glass of water please." I asked Blushing sightly, she giggled, she reached over and grabbed a cup of water, and handed it to me. I gulped it down greedily and handed it back to her, thanking her.
"Miko-sama, why don't you wait here until Sesshomaru gets back from school." She said smiling at me
"Please Megan, call me Kagome. Is there anyway you could tell me what time it is?" I asked
"It's 1:30" She answered
"What time does he get out? And why do I need to wait for him?"
"Seshomaru doesnt get out until 3. I asked you to wait because Sesshomaru has taken quite a liking to you, He brought you here in the pouring rain, he had our best healers heal you, and hes been here every chance he gotten to." She answered, he smile fading and her expression becoming serious. I stared at her shocked. I hadn't known he'd cared so much. No one had ever cared so much. I nodded.
Jaken opened the door so Sesshomaru could walk in and almost got ran over in the process, squawking angerly at the child that was racing down the hall he slammed the door shut and went to go tell his father that he was home on time, Jaken sighed in relief for he knew that it was almost impossible to please his father and always hoped that Sesshomaru made it on time.
"Lord Inutashio?" Jaken asked knocking on the door.
"Come in toad." He said in a gruff unkind voice. Jaken rushed in and closed the door swiftly, being mindful not to slam the door.
"What is it?" Inutashio asked looking up from his paper work
I.. I just wanted to let you know Sesshomaru was home on time and he looked clean." Jaken said fearfully. He never understood his Lords ire towards his son. After his mother died, Inutashio couldn't stand the sight of Sesshomaru. He shook his head and focused on his lord.
"Good. Now leave." He said looking back down. Jaken nodded and left quickly.
After Sesshomaru got home he rushed to his room to finish his homework. He entered his room and sat down in the middle of the floor and got out his math and voc. for English. He growled and glared down at the offending objects.
'I should be down there right checking on her.' I growled in my head and speeding through my homework. I finished my homework in ten minutes and shoved everything back into my bag and rushed out of my room and ran down to the nurses room knocking down two servants running through the hall ways. I reached the door and walked in. I walked in and stood in complete shook, the girl that had been beaten and left bloodied on the ground in the pouring rain was standing on top of the bed, there was music blaring and she was singing along with a brush in her hand. Everyone was around her laughing and cheering her on. As soon as I shut the door they all turned and looked at me, Their eyes going wide. All except hers. She smiled down at me, She was still wearing the clothes the hospital had given to her, but she looked stunning, the music cut off and Norry walked over laughing and put her arm around me, she lead me over to where the girl was getting off the bed carefully, she stood infront of the bed waiting for us to get there. As soon as we stopped she stuck her hand out for me to shake her hand. I reached out and grasped her hand and i felt something warm crawl up my arm, I looked down and gasped, Crawling up my arm was a trial of pink light. It scared me and I jerked my arm back. She gasped also.
"I didn't hurt you did I ?" She asked reaching for my hand, I let her grab it to examine it.
"No, I just wasn't expecting it." I whispered quietly as she turned my hand over in her two smaller hands, her knuckles were purple and swollen, I noticed a scar running diagonally from her middle finger knuckle to her thumb.
"That's good, sometimes i get excited and its hard to control them." She said blushing a pretty shade of pink. I Smiled down at her, we didn't have much height difference, maybe only three inches or so.
"I understand." I whispered gazing at her soft hand. She pulled her hands away, putting them at her side. I dropped my hand and let it dangle. Norry was grinning like someone had just gotten married and i gave her a strange look. Her grin widened. I looked at the back over to the girl.
"I'm Kagome by the way." She said Smiling. I smiled back down at her. I wanted to run my finger over her nose, her freckles were much more apparent now that she was awake.
"Hey, why don't you ask Megan and ask her to get you some clothes?" Norry interrupted smiling.
"Actually, if someone could drive me to my house, I could grab some clothes and come back."
"Sesshomaru," Norry started "Why don't you go ask Jaken if he could drive ya'll?"
"You know what'll happen if I don't actually ask him myself." I said looking at her pointedly. Her smile fell and she nodded, I looked over to Kagome who was staring at me, a confused look in her eyes. I looked deep into her blue eyes, inner turmouel taking hold of me. Would he hurt her? That was the question he had to keep asking himself. He knew that his father was going to want to see her eventually. He just didn't want him to, he didn't want her hurt. Just that thought sent his beast into a rampage.
"Stay here, I shall return." I said blankly, I turned on my heel and stalked out the door. I walked down the halls slowly giving myself time to think.
'Will this work?' I kept asking, or would it be better if i just went behind his back. No that wouldn't work. His father would kill him.
'I don't want her hurt. I also don't want to get hurt. Should I have just told her to let the nurse help her?' I couldn't stop thinking of all the things that could happen. O sighed as i arrived at his study door, I knocked.
"Enter son." He said none to kindly. I entered and closed the heavy door shut gently.
"The miko is awake." I said coldly.
"So iv'e heard."
"I wish to drive her to her house father." I said trying to keep my voice steady. Obviously i failed, he was now glaring up at me.
"You do, do you?" He asked mockingly.
"Yes sir." I answered, I was not looking up at me and so when his hand flew across my cheek, making my head snap to the side. I could taste the blood from cheek on my tongue. I could feel the fear well up inside of me, I knew it would only piss him off further to sense my fear. I couldn't help it. My father frightened me. I had always wondered if anyone else father was like this. I had never been over to a friends house.
"What happened to the fight that was in you last time you were in here son?!" He yelled his normally pale face turning red with anger. I glared up at him. Another bad move on my part. He reared his fist back and went to swing, I moved to avoid the large fist that coming toward me, I wasn't fast enough though, he caught my shoulder and sent me stumbling back. I stood up straight in an attempt to make myself look bigger than I was. He laughed at me and swung, I didn't have enough time to move out of the way, so he caught me dead center in the stomach. I flew back and fell into the chair, breaking it. He laughed again, his laugh deep and cruel. I tried to breath finding it difficult, I pulled up my shirt, my ribs were purple. I heard the door bang and I turned, startled, It wasn't a demon. Who was it, they were... holy, they were pure. My eyes widened panic taking over my I stood and looked at my father who had a killer look in his eyes, he was staring at the door. The door banged again.
"Sesshomaru!" Kagome screamed, I could here fear in her voice, I could feel the bone crunching fear she was feeling.
"Kagome stop!" I yelled. I rushed towards the door as soon as it opened but I still wasn't as fast as my father who shot passed me and ran straight at her She screamed and a wave of holy energy busted out and my father was thrown back into the wall on the other side of his office. He growled and dragged him self off the floor his nose was bleeding slightly, my eyes widened and I raced to stand in-front of her, forgetting about the shield that had just flung my father across the room. I slid to a stop in-front of her, behind the berrior. My father stood and started at us, shook and hatred clear in his golden gaze.
"Go! Get her clothes." He yelled. I nodded and dint waste a second in grabbing her hand and rushing away and to the front. When we screeched stopped by the door I told a maid to get Jaken, and tell him to hurry.
