That-that jerk! What a pompous, arrogant ass! She stormed out of the main office area, everyone wisely keeping out of her angry tirade. How dare he! Just what gives him the right to—
"Hi Kagome!" Startled she nearly stumbled in her heels, before catching herself and looking up to the worried face of Hojo.
"Oh my! Kagome, are you alright?"
Carefully reigning in her anger, she forced herself to smile before saying: "Yep, no worries." a fake smile plastered on her face. Somehow, Hojo didn't seem to notice.
"That's good! For a second, you had me worried!
She tightened her smile before replying "Well it was nice seeing you Hojo, but I really have to get going..." she said, slowly pulling away from the love struck *cough stalker cough* of hers.
At that, Hojo's face fell, before brightening. "Well that's too bad. But maybe this Saturday we could—" Kagome hurriedly intervened "Sorry Hojo, but I have plans this weekend. Maybe some other time?"
Hojo's face fell again, and before he could respond, Kagome hurried away to where her car was parked before driving off, not looking back at a crestfallen Hojo nearby.

Kagome was pissed. Very pissed. She figuratively had her "panties in a knot" as Inuyasha would have rudely put it. She then groaned.
Great, traffic. Just what I needed on this already stressful day.
Bored out of her mind and in traffic, she decided to turn on the radio, which she immediately turned off. She was not in the mood for the American radio stations that she fancied. Sighing, she pulled up a little more. This was going to be a long car ride home.
Fun.

The miko left! Sesshomaru's beast snarled at him.
Sesshomaru ignored his beast's outburst and continued typing. He had an email to send that his personal assistant was supposed to be doing.
Trying again, his beast roared in his mind.
The miko left! You idiotic frigid dick!
That's it, no more Mr. Tolerating Sesshomaru.
You will learn your place! He snapped
Make me you stupid son of a bitch! It retorted, snarling.
In a rushed of anger, he slammed the laptop closed and stormed out of his office, laptop in tow.
Are you fucking stupid?! Why can't you be, I don't know, what do humans call it? Oh yeah, orthodox! -Sesshomaru mentally rolled his eyes at his beast's choice of wording - when you're asking someone to do something for you.
This Sesshomaru does not ask!
Oh yeah, he demands like an ill mannered spoiled brat! It challenged.
Sesshomaru mentally roared in retaliation of its challenge, and using his speed, got out of the office.
That's it you ignorant monster, I'm going home.

"Kami's why do you hate me! What have I done to deserve this!?" Kagome yelled in frustration. It had been nearly thirty minutes and yet she had barely moved to the next light at all. In the distance she started hearing sirens.
Oh no. That'd better not be an ambulance. Please, Kami's, if you don't hate me, let that not be an ambulance!
Something really hated her today. It really did. She she let out a loud groan of frustration as she had to move off next to the sidewalk to let the ambulance pass. Today was not her day.

Sesshomaru got to his home in record speed. Then again he was superior to humans since he was a yokai, so it was merely the vehicle he drove in that slowed him down.
His beast rolled his eyes at the words "superior".
Yeah right. It snorted.
Using his inhuman speed, he gently slammed his laptop down on the Hollywood Lignum vitae wooden desk.
(A/N: how is that even possible? XD And that wood I named is supposedly very expensive)
Suddenly, his phone rang. Growling in frustration, he snarled a ravage "What!?" into the object's offending receiver. It was Miroku.
"Sesshomaru. It's about Kagome."
Calming slightly at the mention of her name, he irritable replied. "What did the miko do?"
He heard an uneasy noise from Miroku.
"Spit it out, houshi!" Sesshomaru snapped.
"Well you see, she's been..." Sesshomaru barely heard the rest.
"I'm on my way!" He dare say frantically rushed into the receiver before hanging up. The fine hairs on his neck raised in panic.
Kagome! He and his beast howled.

If the cars didn't start moving soon, she swore that somebody was gonna be purified into ashes.
From behind her, she heard a lot of honking.
"Oh shut up! You know that no one is going anywhere so quit your bitching and wait!" She yelled in frustration. If somebody didn't pull up soon...
"THE LIGHT CHANGED!" She cried, ecstatic. "Thank Kami!" Finally, she was able to go! Looking both ways, she turned, after waiting for about forty five minutes total. She didn't have time to react when she saw it from behind her in her rear view mirrors. Her eyes widened, her mouth agape in a silent scream.

The houshi's words echoed in his mind.
"Well, you see..." he broke off, an odd tone in his voice "...she's been in a three way collision car accident. A motorcycle was driving in between the lines of the left turning lane and the teen who was behind her didn't notice the motorcycle since she was texting and swerved to avoid it, hitting her bumper pretty hard, causing her to crash into a light in the opposite lane going the opposite direction, where the motorcycle was going so he could U turn." He paused. Taking a deep breath he continued. "The driver of the motorcycle panicked and swerved to avoid crashing into Kagome's car, causing him to slip and fly into the air. He wasn't wearing a helmet and fell headfirst. He didn't survive. The teen was knocked unconscious, and it's assumed that Kagome hit her head on the steering wheel when she crashed into the light. Besides a couple of deep gashes, she's alright. But..."
"Continue" his voice, strangely calm replied.
"She's in Tokyo's main hospital. She's stable for now, but the injury to her head maybe more severe than what the paramedics could feel. She's getting an MRI at the moment... if the injury is bad, even with her healing powers, she might die..." he ended in a whisper.
Snapping out of his flashback, Sesshomaru hurriedly flew (there was no way he was going to drive, not this time) to the hospital.
Wait for me, Kagome.
Gritting his teeth, he made himself fly faster.
Don't you dare die on me!

(A/N: Wow! That was... climatic. I felt nice today and decided not to end it on a major cliffy (about what happened to Kagome). Oh wow, I wrote four pages without even noticing in school! (It still managed to be a short chapter though... oh well, I'll eventually make it up to you) Anyways, R&R please!
