False Pretense

Description: He had fallen for her, and her him. But he screwed up, when it came to it he dumbly rejected her to uphold a reputation, but will he cave in when they start spending even more time together because of a band? SessKag,mainly

Recap: "I um…Made it for you." Sesshoumaru said a bit shyly.

"R-Really?" Kagome stuttered blushing madly. "Yeah…I had been working on it since the day we started the band…Er…Yesterday…and I just finished it today, but I have been working on it non-stop…My father started getting irritated." Sesshoumaru chuckled at how his father got mad that Sesshoumaru wouldn't come out of his room for the past couple days because of that song.

"Wow, Sesshoumaru, t-thank you." Kagome stuttered again, still blushing. "Your welcome." Sesshoumaru said just as the phone rang. Kagome stood up and walked to the wall that it was on. It was Bankotsu. "Hello?" Kagome answered. "Hey Kag, Listen we cant come to practice today." He said sounding concerned. "Whys that?" Kagome asked, getting a little concerned herself from his own tone.

"We're all at the hospital. It's Rin"

Chapter 7. "I'm Not Leaving Your Side"

The phone fell from Kagome's hand to the floor. She was shocked but more so horrified. What could have happened to Rin? Is she alright? Is she dying? All these thoughts raced through Kagome's head. Then Sesshoumaru came up to her. "Kagome? Kagome what's wrong?" Sesshoumaru was now a bit concerned. He knelt down and picked up the phone where he heard Bankotsu's voice frantically calling Kagome's name. "Bankotsu, It's Sesshoumaru." Sesshoumaru said into the phone so Bankotsu would stop calling for Kagome.

"Bankotsu, what's going on?" Sesshoumaru asked, calmly. "Sessh, Rin's in the hospital, you guys need to come down here." Bankotsu said. "Why, what's wrong with her?" Sesshoumaru asked, trying to stay calm. "I'll tell you guys when you get here, just hurry up!" Bankotsu, said before hanging up.

"Ugh. Idiot." Sesshoumaru now just annoyed. He hung up the phone and again tried to gain Kagome's attention. "KAGOME!" Sesshoumaru screamed. "Sesshy-Kun…?" Kagome said with a slight stutter as though she was going to start crying. "Yes Kago-…" He was half way through her name when she threw herself at him, wrapping her arms around his torso. (Sesshoumaru is about 4 inches or so taller then her). Sesshoumaru was slightly shocked, but it made him feel a bit better that he could make her feel better.

He had one hand resting on her back and another holding the back of her head. "Kag?" Sesshoumaru asked in a slight soft voice. "Sesshoumaru, what if she's not going to be okay, what if its really bad?" Kagome asked extremely worried about Rin. "I cannot guarantee that she'll be okay, because I don't know yet what's wrong with her, but I'm sure she'll be fine." Sesshoumaru said trying to reassure her.

"Come on, though. We need to get to the hospital." Sesshoumaru said taking her hand in his intertwining their fingers. He began to walk tugging on her hand signaling for her to follow. Her knees felt weak, but she managed to walk with his pace.

When they were around half way there, Kagome's knees felt even weaker. She began to feel a bit sick to her stomach. "Sesshoumaru?" Kagome said even sounding sick. "Hm?"

"I really don't feel very good." Automatically Sesshoumaru knelt down, waiting for her to get on his back. "Sesshoumaru? What are you doing?" Kagome asked. "Just get on." Sesshoumaru said, no. More like demanded. She did as told and climbed on his back. He adjusted her for better comfort. To him she was very light weight. But he was a demon, a lot of things to him are light weight, that are heavy to humans.

"Hold on tight." He warned. "Why-YYYYYY!" Sesshoumaru took off at his demonic speed. Stopping for a few seconds here and there. Now Kagome really felt sick. "Sesshoumaru! THIS IS TOO FAST!" Kagome screamed, feeling really scared.

"Just hold on, you'll be okay. Do you really believe I would let anything happen to you?" Sesshoumaru asked pouting a bit. "N-No" Kagome stuttered, feeling as though her stomach had left her. "Besides, this'll get us there five times faster." Sesshoumaru said not looking from in front of him, so he didn't run into something. Whether of not he was a demon, that would still hurt. A lot.

Finally, he came to a stop, and he gave the option for Kagome to get off his back, but she refused. "My knees are still weak. It kind'a hurts." Kagome said just above a whisper. "Alright." Sesshoumaru said as be began to walk normally, for Kagome, they were only a block away from the hospital, and we progressing towards it at a steady pace. Kagome was holding onto his shoulders and her head was propped on his right shoulder. She was getting tired, but she knew she had to stay awake for Rin.

"Getting tired?" Sesshoumaru asked turning his head to face her. "A little, but I'm fine." Kagome said a bit weakly. "Okay."

They had reached the hospital and went to the front desk. Sesshoumaru let Kagome down, and Sesshoumaru eagerly asked for Rin's room. "Excuse, me. Can you please tell me where Rin Niimura's room is?" The women behind the desk typed into her computer, looking it up. "She's in room 208, Sir." The women said sweetly. "Thank you." Sesshoumaru bowed his head and began to walk away. But he didn't have a clue what direction the room was in. So he stopped and turned around and went back o the desk.

"Heh, sorry to bother you again, but what direction might that be in?" Sesshoumaru asked sheepishly. "Just over there." She pointed in the right direction. "Oh, alright thanks, again." Sesshoumaru walked away again, and this time he managed to actually find the room. Kagome followed and intertwined their fingers again. Sesshoumaru could feel her worry, and concern. But when they continued to walk he realized something very bad. And luckily Kagome hadn't. They had been in the intensive care unit of the hospital. He now knew that Rin must be in trouble.

"Oh boy." Sesshoumaru said just about inaudibly. "Kagome looked at him questionably. "What?" She asked.

"Well, Kagome, did you notice…Well…That…Um…We're…In the Intensive care unit?" Sesshoumaru stuttered. Kagome's eyes widened. "W-we are?" Kagome asked hesitantly. "Yeah…" Sesshoumaru said. "Well c'mon. We're here." Sesshoumaru knocked on the door. Bankotsu opened it. "'Bout time…" He said, definitely not in the mood to fight with anyone, by calling people names and whatnot. "Sorry, Banny-Kun." Kagome pitched in. "Its…Alright. Kagome." He said stepping aside letting them in. The doctor was still in the room, writing things down on Rin's chart. After about 1 minute, he was done, and he set the chart down, at the end of the bed. He started walking out and nodded to them. He closed the door behind him. When Kagome walked in farther, she broke down in tears. Sesshoumaru had to hold her, to keep her from falling to the ground. Rin was a mess. She had dressings all over her head and face and all over her body, cuts, gashes, and bruises, all over as well.

"W-What happened to her!" Kagome almost shouted, but it just sounded louder because of her sobbing. Rin was hooked up to all kinds of machines and a tube was going down her throat, to breathe. "She was in a car accident. She was the only one who even survived. Her parents died…" Bankotsu said sadly. Sango and Ayame were crying, and Miroku, and Kouga were leaning against the wall with sad expressions on their faces.

Kagome began to cry slightly harder. Sesshoumaru only held on tighter.
