Chapter Three

With the soft light of the moon, Kagome started to wake. As she opened her eyes, she saw that she was in her room or even a motel room, but some sort of bedroom with a yellow, almost golden dog beside her.

Ignoring the simple but homely décor of the room, she admitted that the dog was cute with its almost drooped eyes, like it was tired or very relaxed. In the pale light of the moon, Kagome could see that its fur was a bit of a light golden yellow with its snout and paws being white and on its shoulders, thighs of both hind legs, and beside its eyes were two to three brown spots.

It gave a yawn after opened its eyes and seeing her was awake before standing and giving her a lick on her cheek. The action made Kagome smile before watching the dog leave the room.

Pushing the covers off of her, Kagome noticed that she was dressed in a large white dress shirt and nothing else. She blushed slightly, thinking, 'I hope the one who changed my clothes was a woman or at least a man who wasn't a pervert.'

Kagome turned her attention to the door after hearing the dog make a soft bark, poking its head through the wide crack of the door. The dog, which Kagome noticed was female due of its size and pitch in bark, seemed like it was waiting for the miko to follow her.

After glancing outside the window beside the bed she sat on, Kagome noticed the light fog before looking at the moon's position. Guessing that it looked to be sometime passed midnight, Kagome stood and went to follow the canine out into the hall.

While following the dog, Kagome felt a really young and weak energy coming from the same direction the dog was leading her. Coming to the room she was led to, Kagome silently turned the knob before peeking into what looked like a little girl's room.

Hearing a bit of labored breathing, she quietly walked into the room and saw a brown-haired little girl with a pink sleeping cap that had light pink P's on it and a soft sugar pink nightgown. Her face was flushed and she was sweating a bit with her bangs sticking to her forehead and a few stray strands sticking to her cheeks. Stepping closer to the bed, Kagome checked the little girl's forehead along with her cheeks.

'She has a pretty high fever…' Kagome confirmed before looking at the little girl's nightstand and saw a bottle of fever suppressant and an almost full glass of water, 'It's probably been awhile since her last dose…'

Despite that she didn't know where she was, Kagome decided to use her miko energy to heal the girl from her fever.

Setting a hand over the girl's heart and the other on her forehead, Kagome closed her eyes in concentration and started to pull her energy from within and let it flow though her arms to her hands and into the child's body, illuminating the room with the glow of her energy.

After a few minutes, Kagome's power dimmed once she was sure that the child would be all right. With a soft smile, Kagome stood straight before turning to leave the room with the dog that led her.

Silently closing the door, she never noticed Pinoko sit up and saw her leaving before dismissing it and going back to sleep.

Outside in the hall, Kagome noticed a light from the same direction she came from. With curiosity getting the best of her, she made her way to the room the light was originating from. After stopping in front of said door, that was just to the right of what she guessed was the front door, the dog went ahead and walked through the room before Kagome followed with her steps being very silent as she stepped closer to the door and looking into the crack to see a man sitting at a desk with a textbook, a pen, and tablet of paper.

From what she could see from his side, the man was well fit with how broad his shoulders looked while also possessing a healthy and slim form; not an ounce of fat on him. And his hair was very unique with it being same the shade as hers, yet it had a patch of white.

She continued to watch him from the door as he started to doze off and fell asleep in his chair. Although she wasn't sure that he was really or completely asleep, Kagome opened the door and stepped into the room as quietly as she was able to.

Looking around, she noticed that it looked very much like one of the rooms a clinic had where you meet the patient. Next to the door was a simple loveseat and on the opposite side was a file cabinet. At the other side of the room was a shelf filled with books and folders. Between one of the shelves and the file cabinet next to the door was a full desk set in front of the window, the man was sitting at. On the desk's surface was a computer, a small row of books including the ones the man was reading, and a small drawer set with three drawers. In the center of the room was an examination bed for patients to sit or lay down. And lastly, opposite of the window and the desk was an electric slide door. Leading to where? Kagome didn't know.

Turning her attention back to the man who dozed off at his desk, Kagome took soft steps toward him to have a better look at him, wanting to see the face of the person who owned the establishment she was in and probably saved her.

And when she did catch a glimpse of his face, which was almost covered with black and white strands of hair, Kagome couldn't stop the light skip her heartbeat made. The man was very handsome, in Kagome's opinion despite the little scar on his jaw line, on the right side of his face that was only visible to her.

Shaking her head and pushing curiosity to the back of her mind of how he got such a scar, Kagome thought about getting him a blanket and covering him while he was still in his chair without waking him.

But not want him to wake up with a sore back, neck, or shoulders, she decided to moving the man to the loveseat, even if it meant that she might end up waking him.

Carefully pulling the chair out from under the desk with the man still asleep, Kagome gently pushed it closer to the semi-long piece of furniture. Once she was close to it, Kagome set to lift the man a bit from the torso, enough to move him over to the loveseat. As she was wrapping her arms around him, the miko surgeon had unknowingly waked the man she was trying to move.

In his light doze, Black Jack felt himself being laid back in his chair before being moved away from the desk. At first he thought it was Pinoko but didn't hear any of her grumbles or grunts. Plus, the pair of hands that lifted his torso from his desk to rest against the back of his chair weren't the small hands of his assistant.

As he was being moved, a pair of slim yet strong and gentle arms wrapping around his torso. He noticed they belong a woman and said woman, albeit quite petite, was lifting him without much of a struggle as she moved him to what he guessed was the loveseat set against next to his door.

This just further proved that it wasn't his assistant who was moving him.

Feigning being half asleep, Black Jack continued to let the woman lift him while doing a little on his part so not to let whoever was moving him to end up falling with him on top of her.

The infamous surgeon concluded that it was most likely Kagome who was helping him get comfortable so he wouldn't have to continue sleeping in his desk chair for the rest of the night.

Once he felt her lay him gently on the loveseat with his head on one of the armrests, Black Jack heard her speak as she propped his feet up, "Could you help get me a blanket, Inu-chan?"

A soft bark was her answer with the soft pitter-patter of paws leaving the room told Black Jack it was Largo who was helping the woman to get him somewhere more comfortable to sleep.

It was quiet for a while until Black Jack felt a feminine finger trace over the scar that marked his face and separated the different toned graft skin and his natural toned skin. Her touch was very soft, almost like a feather as her finger followed the trail his scar made from his hairline to his left jaw, like she didn't want to wake him.

He then heard her say softly, "I would ask you how you received such a scar… but I don't want to wake you and it's none of my business of the circumstances that led to the scar. I know better than to pry like most people."

She was considerate…

Black Jack had to admit, stopping himself from letting a smile creep on his lips. For some reason he didn't want her to know that he was listening.

Largo soon came back, giving a soft yet muffled bark before Black Jack heard the muffle of cloth from the blanket. Feeling it covering him up to his chest, he heard the young woman, Kagome stand and made her way to his office door, softly saying hushed words to Largo for them to leave quietly.

With the dog already out the door and before she had shut the door behind her, Black Jack heard her say softly, "Thank you… for helping me. I owe you a lot for just bringing me here to recover."

And with that, Black Jack heard her close the door behind her with a click. Opening his eyes to stare at the ceiling, he wondered what the morning would bring when he really met Kagome, face to face. With that thought, he let sleep completely take him until the morning came.

Another chapter done while waiting for more episodes of Black Jack to be subtitled.
