What's up Doc?
Yusuke's POV
I can't believe that my boss wants me to see a shrink; I don't him that I was perfectly fine. So what if I saw some one die at work, I've seen worse. It was weird seeing someone die; die from some thing over then a demon attack that is. Why would my boss want me to come to the out skirts of Tokyo though? There has to be plenty of head shrinks in town. Of all days not to have a mission, to have to be done urgently it has to be today.
I stopped in front of a building that matched the address my boss had given me last night. I opened the door and walked up the stairs till I got to the seventh floor. I walked down a hallway till I reached the ninth door. I opened the door and walked into a small waiting room, I sat down in a door close to the exit when a woman walked from a door that was located in the back of the room.
I stared at her in shock, she had long raven black hair, her eyes where the color of melted chocolate. She stood around five feet four inches and had a strong built which should that she must be an athlete. I stood up and walked over to her, then shook her hand.
"Hi my name is Yusuke and I'm here to see Dr. Higurashi, is he in?" As soon as I had asked the question she smiled a bright smile that must have made the room brighten as if the sun had shone with its brilliance. 'Wow I have defiantly been hanging around Kurama too much; I'm starting to sound like him in my head.'
I thought with a small smirk, wondering as to what this woman found so amusing.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Yusuke; my name is Dr. Kagome Higurashi. Now if you would please follow me to my office." I followed her blindly without thinking; at least I knew why she had smiled. I had assumed my shrink was going to be some old dinosaur of a man, I didn't think for a minute that my shrink would be a beautiful woman around my age. For some reason that brought up memories of Keiko, my old girlfriend, I had thought everything between us was perfect. We had known each other for so long I didn't think that she would dump me for some guy she had met in one of her college classes. That had been seven years ago back when I was twenty two. She said that she held a place in her heart for me, but she had met some one she was starting to care deeply for and he was normal. She didn't want to have to worry that if I went on a mission I wouldn't becoming back or that if we went all the way and had children that they would be hunted down just for being mine. I couldn't really blame her all that could happen, but still it heart having her leave she had been the best thing in my life for so long that it felt empty for a long time after that. I've been on a few dates since then but nothing to serious. I finally snapped back to reality when she called my name and asked me if I was ready to start, all I could do was nod my head like an idiot. 'Relax she is only a girl who happens to be my shrink.' I thought wondering as to what she would want to know first, I probably could end up telling her anything there was just something comforting about being in the same room as this stranger. It felt same, something that I am not use to feeling.
"So Yusuke, I was told that you watched a fellow coworker suffer from a lethal heart attack earlier on this week. Do you have any thought about that, which you would like to share?" She asked as she gave me a reassuring smile, most likely t make it easier for me to talk. All her smile made is doing is to make me really glad that I'm sitting down, if I wasn't I would probably fall to the floor from now weakened knees.
"I don't really have any thing to say, it's not like it was the first time that I've seen some one die." Oops, I can't believe that I just say that. The hardest thing to believe was that my idiot comment didn't seem to faze her. She was just sitting in her chair across from me calmly studying me. She smiled just a little more. 'Damn she is cute when she smiles.' I stated in my mind as I allowed my eyes to wander to the muscular calves that could be seen seeing as she was wearing a skirt that only went to just below the knees.
"Do you often see people die, or was there a period in your life were it wasn't unusual to see some one pass away." She said allowing her smile to fall just a little as the pupils of her eyes dilated every so slightly. I had a strange feeling that she was studying me in a supernatural sort of way, but I easily through that to the side. She didn't look like she could have to much power even if she was a psychic or something. My relaxed feeling easily turned to a defensive one.
"Well ya, I mean being the Spirit detective has kind of brought a lot of death to my life. I can't remember a normal month I've had since I was fourteen that has been normal without any sort of death or pain in it. All this came up because I tried to save a kid that wouldn't have died any way, and I died in the process. Spirit world had made a big mistake and didn't want to admit it so here I am Yusuke Urameshi feared by demons frequently called a freak by humans isn't life just grand." I said all of this without thinking and the moment I stopped I slapped my hand over my mouth and hoped that by some miracle she had missed all that. I could tell that by the wide eyes she hadn't missed a world, now she was either going to think I was crazy or she was going to believe me and go into a nervous break down from finding out that demons aren't just the stories she grew up hearing about. This is bad and Koenma is going to have my head on a silver platter. I must of looked I was about to loose it or something because she snapped back to her senses.
"Now Yusuke settle down there is absolutely nothing to worry about." She said this and I became suddenly suspicious. Why was she just so understanding, what could she possible know about demons. I must have said that aloud for she answered me.
"I grew up on a shrine, Yusuke. I could tell the moment you entered the building that you weren't a normal human. Your spirit energy speaks volumes, it was a little over powering at first," she paused for a moment in thought before that smile I was starting to love burst through, "how about we swap stories. I will tell you all about my stories if you will tell me all about yours." I was shocked what type of stories could she have, I doubted that they could be as big as mine. As I sat there studying her I realized that she had the look of some one who was lonely. I knew what that was like, to have a gift and not be able to share it with those around you in fear that they could get hurt or they wouldn't want to be around you for awhile. I felt like that almost every day; maybe I could share my stories with her. It would be nice not to be alone.
Kagome POV
'What was I thinking earlier, I told him everything. Well I guess I told him almost everything I never mentioned what happened to the Sacred Jewel after Inu Yasha stole it from me in order to become a full demon. I don't think he held back any thing, I was so lucky that he was my last client we talked for four hours straight.' I just couldn't stop doubting myself what if he had been lying just to learn more about the Sacred Jewel. What if he came after it, he was strong would I be able to stop him? These doubts just seemed to fill my heads, I am so overjoyed that I am spending the weekend at the shrine to help grandfather out. I need to go through some of the old scrolls and see if there is anything I can learn quickly just incase Yusuke turns out to be an enemy not a kindred soul. Kirara sensed must have sensed my discomfort for she jumped right on to my lap and tried to comfort me by rubbing her head into my stomach. I grabbed her in my arms and walked to me room to go to sleep I had a long weekend if front of me seeing as I had foolishly agreed to met Yusuke at the park Monday around five thirty.
'I pray to Buda that everything comes out okay.' Was my last thought before I fell asleep with Kirara cuddled in my arms.
