Dr.Kagolittle

Summary: Kagome is an ordinary person until she learns that she can talk to animals. What happens when the one she talks to needs her help desperately?

A/N: Here's the second chapter, read and review...

Chapter 2

Kagome was in the medical room in her hospital, disinfecting her wounds. That bird, Renkotsu, had abnormally long claws. And it wasn't too normal looking either. It had black feathers instead of all white, and it had a tooth. He wasn't supposed to have one, but whatever, it was exotically, exotic.

She had prefered to not wear gloves though her co-workers told her otherwise. But she didn't like it when she had to wear protective clothing while handling patients. They would get uncomfortable, and nervous, things like that. So Kagome took it the regular way; with love.

Renkotsu however, didn't calm down at all. He seemed over excited, and was very strong...It was weird, and so was the owner. He had a tattoo right on his forehead that looked like a diamond, and long black hair down to the waist in a braid. His name was Bankotsu S. He didn't give his full last name, saying he was only in town for a few days, long enough to let Yash complete the mission. Kagome thought that he let it slip by accident, because when he went and told her that, he covered his mouth, and let out a silent curse.

After Kagome finished cutting the nails, the guy paid her...He gave her $250, when the cost was $88 because of her kindness. She tried to give him back the money, but he mysteriously said, "This is the least I can do for you before you help." Right after he said that, he and the bird left.

But Kagome was trying to get a better look, so she walked with them, and peeked at the bird's claws. It had regrown. It was as long as it was when the guy Bankotsu had first brought Renkotsu. She almost fainted on the spot, but she managed to walk back to the medical room to sit, and disinfect. Which was where she was now, thinking.

Bankotsu and the bird Renkotsu were walking down the street of the clinic. The bird was on his shoulder, slightly digging into Bankotsu's shoulder. But the guy didn't mind, it hardly hurt.

They turned into a abandoned alley that was dark, filled with garbage cans. They walked all the way to the end, and opened a ragged door that led to a big room. Big was an understatement, the room was huge. It had lights all the way on the ceilling that made the room very bright, except one corner. That was where he was heading.

Once he got there, he stood in front of an unknown object. He couldn't see it, but he knew it was there. The bird flew off his shoulder into the dark area. Bankotsu started to speak.

"Listen, the girl is the one. She handled Renkotsu perfectly. She was naturally curious though when his claws regrew. It's time to make the move, so hurry it up, hanyou. If you don't, in about a month, it'll be me next. Who knows what I'll become, so hurry. Remember, I'm the only real human left here..."

Bankotsu walked away afterwards, and whatever was in the shadow moved. The lights in the room cut off so everywhere was dark as night.

The figure slightly silhouetted by a window was in the shape of...

Kagome was walking to her car that she parked a few blocks away. She was on the same street as her hospital though, leaving early because...well, her friends thought she needed a night off. Maybe she did!

Flashback

Sango walked into the room where Kagome was washing her hands. "Hey, so did the nail clipping go well?" She asked, coming to wash her hands too.

Kagome turned and smiled. "Yeah it did. The owner was really nice and paid me almost triple the cost! It was weird. And something strange happened. When they left, the bird's claws were long and sharp again!" She said excitedly.

Sango looked at her like she was crazy. "Umm..Kags...there's no way that it's claws can grow back in less then 10 minutes."

Kagome dried her hands and gave Sango a paper towel that she took with thanks. "Sango, I'm telling you, it grew back! I'm telling you the truth!" She said, looking at Sango in amazement. Her best friend didn't believe her?

"Kagome, maybe you're overworking yourself. Go home and get some sleep, now!" Sango handed Kagome her duffle bag, and Kagome sighed.

"Maybe, you're right. I'll be going now Sango..." She took the bag, took off her coat, and hung it up. She then walked through the front door.

End Flashback

So here she was, walking down the street, on her way to the car. She passed an old alleyway, and looked down for no specific reason. There were just old alleyways filled with trash. But not always. A few months back, she helped a racoon that was choking on some garbage. It was so cute, except for the scratch she got from it, happily not infected, that left a scar shown today. She unconsiously rubbed the area that had the scar, her arm, remembering that day.

All of a sudden, she felt a little nudge by her feet, and she looked down. With a gasp, she stared mouth open at the fox that was pushing her in the direction of her car. He nudged her feet again, this time with a little more power. She stumbled but didn't fall.

The fox had a short, bushy tail, and beautiful green eyes. For some reason, in her mind she felt the urge to call him Shippou. She didn't though, remembering that she was going home, and her favorite show on Animal Planet was showing soon with a new season ready. She stared at the little fox, and turned away, walking slowly as in a trance, her eyes wide. She swayed her arms slowly, and glanced back at the little fox. She gasped again when he winked at her.

Kagome stopped, and rubbed her eyes, looking at the fox again. 'Must be my imagination...Got to get home..'

She turned to the direction of her Nissan, and walked away. But for some reason, said, "Bye, Shippou..." Her voice trailing off. She shook her head while scratching her shoulder, and smiled when she saw her car. She got into the driver's seat, and started the engine. For some reason, she felt like having a little fun, so she drove away to the highway to go over the speed limit. Only a little.

Or not. She ended up going well over her limit, but luckily, wasn't caught by anyone. She took an exit, and was now driving on the local roads. She turned down a residential street that she didn't know. It was called Tessaiga Road, and she had never heard about it before. Why she took it? She didn't know.

She slowed a little, and stared down the street. The road was long, she didn't see the end, but for some reason, she felt as if she knew where she was going.

Because she didn't see the end of the road , she pressed on the gas pedal harder. She was going 68 on a 45 MPH road, but she didn't care.

Until...

Something happened. She closed her eyes for a second, just a second, when she hit something. Kagome's eyes jerked open, and she slammed her feet on the brakes. Her car screeched loudly, and started drifting to the side. It went into a full spin, and she held on for her life. After about a minute or so of her screaming, her car stopped. She had hit into a few garbage cans, and had a few scratches on her arm, but that was it. But she wasn't worried about herself. When she hit whatever it was, she heard a whimper.

Kagome jumped out of her car, nearly tripping over a garbage can lid. She started running down the street, looking for whatever she had hit, anything at all.

Then she saw it. A white lump on the black sidewalk. Alone in the night. She ran faster, thinking it could be dead. From a faraway view, it seemed like the object wasn't moving.

When Kagome finally got to the thing, she dropped down on her knees, feeling the thing she hit. She identified it as a dog. A Samoyed breed, that was very silvery.

The dog was breathing slowly, and it was bleeding from it's side, a lot of blood. Kagome teared at the eyes, seeing a dog like this made her terribly sad.

She felt for a pulse and yelped with joy when there was one. She had to get the dog to the office right away.

Kagome went to check it's eyes for a dialated pupil, to see if he was in shock. A he, because well, he had a...yeah, that.

She opened his eyes with her fingers, opening the lids. She fell backwards from what she saw, something really unusual...

The dog had golden eyes.
