Heart of Tensaiga
The Other Side
He had expected to hit the ground but instead he found himself surrounded by darkness and blue lights. The magic was almost overwhelming but the duration was brief and he indeed found his footing on the dirt ground. Jumping out quickly, he noticed that he was inside a wooden structure that should not have been there.
He heard the soft thudding of rain upon the building and the soft echoes of thunder. Other sounds added to the background but he could not place what they belonged to. Stepping outside the wooden doorway he could see the sacred tree ahead of him and a house to his left. From the looks of it, this place was a shrine of sorts so the owners should be fairly hospitable to a human girl in need.
The rain confused his nose as he tried to smell for danger from the area, the only thing he could tell was there was a horrible, underlying smell that would most certainly cause him issues later on once the rain stopped.
Upon making it to what he thought the front of the structure he noticed a strange light above the doorway. With his one arm holding the girl, he shifted her position and knocked on the door as loud as he could without causing the wood to break and waited.
Mrs. Higurashi woke with a fright at the knocking on her door. She hurriedly got dressed as thoughts of something might have happened to her daughter ran through her mind. Running to the doorway, she undid the locks with finesse and opened the door. She gasped in shock as her senses took in several things, the first being the silver hair that she only associated Inuyasha with. The second was that whoever this man, or demon was, looked very handsome indeed with the facial markings. The next thing to be noticed was the fact that he looked very cold and very feral. Then, she looked down upon her daughter who was now wet from the rain outside and looked very ill indeed.
Quickly, she ushered them into her home and had him place her daughter on the couch in the living room. She got a medical kit she always kept nearby for any scrapes and bruises and pulled out a thermometer. One-hundred-three point two temperature, she's going to need a doctor. With a frown she went over to the demon that had brought her daughter and smiled, "She needs to see a doctor. I'll take her there quickly and return later and you can tell me what happened."
He wanted to retaliate against her trying to give him orders but there was no point in fighting a battle against a worried mother and her pup. He doubted humans had the same ferocity when it came to protecting their own; but, he did not want to be rude either. In the back of his mind he wondered what a hospital was, though quickly determined it was a place for people to get well if she was taking Kagome there.
Sesshomaru watched as the woman, from smell Kagome's mother for certain, picked up something from the wall that was attached to it by some strange twirled cord and, after pushing a few buttons that made different noises, started to ring. She placed part of it next to ear and spoke into it as if it was a person. Is the woman mad from grief over her ill daughter?
She sighed and walked over to the demon again, "The ambulance is coming here shortly. I guess I better explain a few things to you before I leave you here alone. First, my youngest Souta is here upstairs. Please let him know in the morning that I have gone to the hospital with Kagome. I should be back either tomorrow night or the next morning depending." She walked upstairs and grabbed a few sheets and pillows and set them next to the couch. "Feel free to set up the couch after I leave, there are sheets and a pillow here."
He nearly winced when a high screeching could be heard in the background; inwardly, he cringed and wanted to tear apart whatever was causing the incessant wailing. The only thing that stopped him was the light of hope that entered the mother's eyes once she too could hear it coming.
A few unknown men knocked on the door and entered the residence and placed Kagome on some strange carrying device with wheels on the bottom of it. He watched them carefully as they were holding his pack member and they took her out of the house. They put her in some sort of strange, white contraption with flashing lights and closed the doors as the mother went in as well. Sesshomaru wanted to chase after the people as they took off with her but knew little of what was going on and so he stayed.
He sat upon the item deemed the couch and looked at the sheets. Deciding against it, he simply sat there and waited throughout the night for any word of what had happened to his pack. Hours passed and the sun started to rise. The rain had stopped an hour after the woman left and he could still smell the wetness from it.
He heard a heartbeat upstairs quicken and thuds of footprints going back and forth. A boy's voice called down from the top of the stairs, "Mom, what's for breakfast?" He hopped down the stairs with boyish grace and stopped when he noticed the silver haired person sitting on the couch. "Hey, are you related to Inuyasha?"
Sesshomaru inwardly cringed, "He is this Sesshomaru's half-brother."
Souta smiled and said brightly, "Cool. So you're a demon too right? Hey, that means Kagome should be here too." He looked left and right to see if his sister was indeed home.
Sesshomaru stared at the boy while saying, "Your sister and mother are in what was called a hos-pi-tal."
(A/N) Alright, since I managed to finally get enough time in to write a few more chapters I decided to update rather soon. Yay for the long chapter! Sesshomaru in modern day Japan...what could go wrong right?
