Kagome strolled into the hospital ten minutes late. Now she would have to make up double time for her tardiness. She groaned. She woke up from that very realistic dream, took a very long and cold shower and was faced with Tokyo traffic. Since it being Friday, some people got off early and that was what made her late. She went into the locker room to change and get herself ready for her shift. She was not looking forward to working with Inuyasha tonight; one, because he was always early and he would give her an ear full when he sees her; and two because of that vivid dream. She was still blushing; groaning as she closed her locker. She hit her head against the cool metal. 'This is not my day is it?' She was startled when she heard a locker slam on the other side. She looked up to see her coworker, Dr. Tashio, rushing to put his jacket on.
"Come on Kagome! We've got work to do!"
She chuckled. "Late too?" He looked back at her and glared.
"If you must know, yes I was. Now come on before we are both in for it!"
"I'm coming!" They both blushed as they exited the locker room.
It was now around 10:30 and Kagome was starting to get hungry. She had a small bowl of oden before she left home but that was five hours ago. She walked from her patient in room 4 to the nurse's station where Inuyasha was looking over some charts; leaning over the desk to look at what he was doing. He was filling out some charts and some release forms for a few patients that came in earlier. She cleared her throat to get his attention. He looked up with his amber eyes. She could clearly see that he was tired. She smiled softly. "I was gonna go to the cafeteria, you want me to get you anything?"
He looked up and she smiled. He blushed and mentally groaned. 'Yeah… you, in some sexy lingerie, in my bed….' He mentally shook his head. 'What in the hell is wrong with me?' "Um I'm almost done here. I'll tell Vicky to watch over our two patients and I'll go with you."
"Okay. I'll meet you at the elevator in about…" she checked her watch "ten minutes. That should be enough time right?"
"Yeah I'll see you in ten."
"Okie dokie." She walked off and he rubbed his eyes. 'What is wrong with me? Is it because of that dream? She was blushing a lot too… I wonder if she had a dream like that too…. I still have to check her neck and see if my mark is there or not? That dream was too real, it's making me paranoid!' He sighed and finished his work. He told Vicky that he and Kagome were going down to the cafeteria and would be back shortly; and if they had any traumas to call them immediately. The nurse agreed and he walked to the elevator to meet Kagome there. He gasped. She had taken her hair down and it was spilling down her back. She had some of her hair behind her ear and he could see that she was chewing on her lip. She was checking her phone for messages, leaning up against the wall, with her left foot pressed against the wall. She looked so innocent and yet so sexy. The scrubs she wore always showed her curves in the right way and he could feel Inu Jr. wanted to come out and play. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath and walked up to the torturer of his mind and body.
Kagome had gone to the locker room to get her phone. Her grandfather had fallen during the day and she told her mom to call her if she needed to come home. She saw no messages from her mother but a few from Sango. "Okay Miss Dr. You have been very busy lately and since your birthday is coming up next week, we are going out! My treat! And bring a date! Maybe that hot, hunk doctor you had se…. that you work with that Miroku knows! ::insert nervous laughing:: Okay Kags call me later! Bye!" She ended her voicemail and groaned. 'Why does she insist that I go out for my birthday when she knows that I'm busy?' She looked up and made eye contact with Inuyasha. He was looking at her with a gleam in his eyes that she hadn't seen since they were at the club. She quickly looked down, closed her phone and turned towards the elevator to hide the bright tomato coloring she was sporting.
The ride down in the elevator and the walk to the cafeteria was silent, with heated glances at each other. Kagome had started to get heated with all of the blushing so she had put her hair back up in a high pony tail. Inuyasha smirked from behind her. 'Now I can put my mind at ease. Now I just got to get close enough to her without her noticing.' They had made it to the cafeteria and dinner was still being served. She was ahead of him in line. He looked down at her neck and didn't notice any bite marks or discoloration or anything of the sort. He visibly relaxed and sighed with a smile on his face. Then his smile turned into a slight frown. 'I thought I would be ecstatic…. Now I just seem disappointed….' He was pulled from his thoughts when Kagome got his attention from down the line.
"Inuyasha? You okay?"
"Hmm? Yeah I just have a lot on my mind lately."
She looked back down at her tray. "Oh." She had put a club sandwich on her tray, a bottle of water and just one indulgence; a big slice of chocolate cake. She looked back up at the doctor and saw that he was looking at the hot plates. She smiled slightly and got a serving of green Jell-O before making her way to the register. Inuyasha got some beef tips, broccoli and garlic mashed potatoes; along with a couple of waters to drink. He made his way behind Kagome to the register. He glanced at her plate and chuckled at her selections.
"And how old are you?"
"What?! I had a sweet tooth! And green Jell-O is the best kind!"
He laughed. "Okay Okay. Let's just eat."
They paid for their dinner and went to go sit at a table. They sat there and ate quietly for about fifteen minutes. And again, glances were shot at each other and blushing occurred. She couldn't stand the silence anymore.
"So what are you doing for your birthday?"
He looked up from his plate with a piece of beef stuck on his fork, paused in front of his opened mouth. She giggled.
He placed his fork down onto his place and sighed. "Nothing really. I think Kaito scheduled me off that day." She slumped in her seat and pouted.
'Great now I have to work without Inuyasha. Wait….Why would I care if he's working the same day as me?…' Inuyasha noticing her pouting, chuckled.
"He scheduled you off too."
She smiled. She looked down at her cake and Jell-O. She looked at him eyeing her and her tray. She smirked. "You want to share? If I eat this much sugar, you're gonna have to restrain me because of a sugar high."
He chuckled showing off his fangs. "You don't mind? That cake does look good…"
"No way! Go ahead. I've already had some. I swear they put crack in it, it's so good!"
He laughed and dug his spoon into the chocolate decadence. Yes he may be a dog demon but unlike his feral cousins, he could eat chocolate and not get sick. He savored the spoonful of chocolate and moaned while chewing. Kagome giggled across from him. He then plunged his spoon into the green gelatin and savored the lime flavoring.
"Hey! Hands off the Jell-O mister!"
He laughed again. "You know, I think they did put crack in the cake. It's addicting!" he said while grabbing another spoonful of the chocolate cake.
"See! I told you." She laughed and they finished the cake and Jell-O. They sat there for a few minutes looking around at the cafeteria. He looked at his watch and groaned. She looked back over to him.
"What?"
"Our hour is up…" He groaned again leaning back in his chair wiping his face with his hand.
"Aww really?…. Do we have to go back Inu? I wanted another slice of cake! I was thinking red velvet this time!" She said with her bottom lip poking out giving him the 'puppy dog' look.
It took all he had not to go over there and suck on her bottom lip. She looked too cute when she did that. He sat up again. "Yes we do. And don't give me that look… I perfected that look… It worked wonders on my parents when I was younger…"
She glared at him with her arms crossing over her chest. "Oh really? Show me…"
He sighed and smirked. "Okay you asked for it."
He got up and walked around to her side of the table and squatted down. He looked up at her with big puppy dog eyes, drooping his ears, poking out his lip and made a puppy whine in his throat. Kagome's glare melted and she laughed.
"Aww poor Inu. Don't be sad." She took hold of his left ear and started to rub it. His puppy face was gone and in its wake was a look of pure pleasure. He leaned into her hand and started to growl lowly in his chest. She continued for a minute until she felt her phone vibrating in her pocket. 'If it's important they'll call back. I'm too enthralled right now…' A few moments more and she slowed down to a stop. He whined that ear rubbing had stopped and looked up at her. She cupped his cheek and gave him a peck on the nose. "Come on puppy. I'll get another slice of cake. You go ahead."
She moved to get up but was quickly stopped by a hand on her arm. She looked down to see Inuyasha still squatted looking up at her. She sat back down and looked into his amber eyes with wonder. He got up close to her face. Her heart started to beat wildly and she felt her face heat up with a blush. He gazed into her eyes and glanced down at her lips. He glanced back up to her eyes. "You got some frosting on your mouth." He whispered. She couldn't do anything but numbly nod. He glanced back down to the brown spot on the side of her mouth. He leaned into her and licked the frosting from her lips. She gasped at his boldness.
He had died and gone to heaven. He just wanted to get the frosting off but now his mouth made its way her lips giving her a kiss. She sat there shocked for a moment until she responded by kissing him back. The chaste kiss soon turned more needy when his tongue slipped into her mouth and battled with hers. She eagerly returned the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck. His arms snaked around her torso and held her as close as he could in his squatted position. Their moment ended when her phone started going off again. They reluctantly stopped. They looked into each other's eyes, panting trying to get their breathing back to normal. Kagome saw that Inuyasha's eyes were tinted red a little and Inuyasha saw Kagome's eyes clouded in lust and desire. He could also smell her arousal.
He stood up but his eyes never left hers. He felt the blood rush to his lower legs and felt relief. He looked down into her cerulean eyes and smiled. Leaning down, he gave her a kiss on the lips and said against them, "Go get the cake and I'll meet you back upstairs. We still got a long night ahead of us." He kissed her again and left.
Kagome stared at where he left and came out of her stupor when she heard a beep on her phone telling her she had a message. She quickly got up, disposed of their trays, bought a piece of red velvet cake and made her way back upstairs. She got her phone out and saw that Sango had called again. "Hey Kags! Just calling to see what you were doing?! You know you never really told me what happened that night…. Anyway call me later! I'm planning your party as we speak! Twenty-five is a big one so it's going to be special! Byes!" Kagome groaned again as she hung up her phone. She was about to turn the phone off when it started ringing again. 'Sango… I am so going to kill you tomorrow!' She answered. "WHAT?!" Completely startling a couple of nurses walking in the hall.
"Sorry Dr. Higurashi! I just wanted to know if you got my messages?"
"Yes I did Sango and right now I'm on my way back upstairs from dinner." She said through gritted teeth.
"Okay, okay! Damn! You don't have to get a 'tude!" Kagome groaned as she finally made it back to the elevator. She entered it and hit the first floor.
"I'm sorry Sango. I've just been a little wired today…"
"Oh well… tell me about it." She sighed and the elevator signaled its arrival to the first floor.
"Sango I really don't have the time and the energy to tell you what's going on right now…"
"Is it about that hunky doctor with the silver hair, amber eyes, and those adorable puppy ears?" Kagome stopped in her trek back to the ER and leaned against the wall. She sighed, not responding to Sango's question.
"Okay I take that as a yes…"
"It's just so confusing. First he wants to kill me and have absolutely nothing to do with me and then today…"
"What happened today?"
"Ugh! Like a really vivid dream that involved one Dr. Inuyasha Tashio in all his glory plowing into me and then kissing me not even five minutes ago, basically making out in the cafeteria!" she replied in a hushed voice.
"Oh! Well that would get me wired up too…"
"Oh Sango, what am I going to do? I don't need this type of distraction. He can because he's already gone through his residency and has a great job. I just started…"
"Okay Kags listen. Just go finish tonight and we'll talk about it tomorrow okay? Tonight is the last night of your night shift right?"
"Yeah. I don't work tomorrow but I have to come in way early on Sunday because I'm off for my birthday."
"Okay, meet me at the café around three so you can get some sleep and we'll talk."
"Kay Sango, see you then. Bye" And she hung up. She was right outside of the door of the ER. She swiped her pass into the ID reader and the door let her in. Little did she know that the doctor that she was confused over was listening in on her conversation.
'She had a dream too?! That is just way too weird! Okay calm down. You need to get through the rest of the night without mounting her and talk to the letch tomorrow…' He sighed coming out of his hiding place. He straightened out his clothes and made his way back to the nurse's station to his patients and Kagome.
The rest of the night was slow; no other patients were brought in and the two from earlier were released. It was 4:45 am and the two doctors were waiting to clock out. They had eaten the cake about 2 hours ago so they both decided to skip breakfast. All through the night they both gave each other heated glances. Inuyasha could still smell her arousal, and it got stronger through the night. He couldn't believe that they had kissed! He didn't know what came over him at dinner. But she seemed she liked it. He glanced over to where she was sitting. She had taken her hair down and was combing her fingers through her hair. He wished that it was his fingers combing her hair. He sighed and went back to reading a magazine about demon health. Twenty minutes later they were walking out of the hospital to their cars. He walked her to her car. He started doing this about a couple of weeks ago.
She unlocked the door and slid in. "Well I'll see you Sunday morning."
"Yeah I'll see you then." He stood there with his hands in his pockets looking down, and his bangs were shielding his eyes. She looked at him puzzled; grabbing his arm when he turned to walk away. He looked back at her with red tinted eyes. She inaudibly gasped. He kneeled down to where his eyes were even with his. He leaned closer and his lips lightly grazed hers. She kissed him back. Soon his tongue invaded her mouth and his right hand had cupped the back of her head. She groaned into his mouth and hungrily returned his kiss. She slipped her right hand into his hair to pull him closer. They kissed until their need for oxygen made itself known and they parted. Their eyes were still closed and they propped themselves up with each other's forehead. He opened his eyes first to see her face full of pleasure. She opened her eyes to gaze into the red ones of her coworker. "Inuyasha?"
"Kagome." They stared into each other's eyes until, once again a phone went off. This time it was Inuyasha's phone. He broke their contact to retrieve his phone. He looked at the caller ID and growled. He looked back into her sapphire orbs and smiled slightly. She smiled back. He gave her a chaste kiss on her lips. "I'll call you later, okay?"
"Yeah… I'll be waiting." With that he left to go to his car that was a short distance away. She regained herself enough to close the door and drive back to her apartment. When she got home she had to take a hot shower to clean all of the wetness she had formed over the night and this morning and went to sleep having more vivid dreams about Inuyasha.
"Miroku you need to come over right now…"
"What why?! I'm with someone! Can't it wait?! I was just calling to check up on you…"
"NO DAMNIT! Get over here now!"
"Fine fine. I'll be there in 15…"
"Fine!" Miroku closed his phone and chunked it across the room. The person next to him stirred in the bed and woke up. "Miroku, who was that?"
"Inuyasha… He seems to be angry and his voice was huskier. His demon might be closer to the surface than it should be. I need to go over there before he decides to practice his carving on me…"
"Oh okay. I got some stuff planned for later so I guess I'll see you tonight?"
"Yeah I'll see you tonight Sango." He got out of bed and kissed her before he grabbed some clothes to put on and left the room. She sighed, rolled over and went back to sleep for a few more hours.
Miroku got to Inuyasha's apartment ten minutes later. He let himself in and didn't see his friend anywhere. He heard the water running in the bathroom, so he decided to make some coffee. 'I'm sure he's going to need it…' Fifteen minutes later he saw his friend emerge from his bedroom with some sweatpants on and a t-shirt. Miroku pointed to the coffee while he sipped his cup.
Inuyasha smiled slightly he returned to the living room and joined his friend. He sat his cup on the table and fell back onto the couch and sighed.
"Okay so what happened that you had to get me up at this ungodly hour?"
He glared at his friend before covering his eyes with his arm. "Kagome…"
"Ah…Kagome… So what's going on with her?"
"How the hell should I know?! The only thing I do know is that she is a great kisser!" He yelled without even noticing what he said.
"You kissed her?! When did this happen?!"
He sighed and tried to get more comfortable on the couch. "Last night after dinner and this morning out in her car…"
"And what brought this on?"
"Probably the greatest and most realistic wet dream I had yesterday…"
"Uh-huh. Care to elaborate?"
He removed his arm and glared at Miroku. "NO lecher! Let's just say in my dream, we mated, I marked her and we were tied together. When I woke up…yeah I think you might get the rest. I was so paranoid that I had to check Kagome for my mark…"
"And did you find it?"
Inuyasha covered his eyes again and sighed. "….No, I didn't…"
Miroku could clearly hear the disappointment in his friend's voice. He sighed. "Well I think you need to talk to your old man for this kind of information. I have no idea how demons find or choose their mates. I just know how to fix their problems when they have one."
Inuyasha sighed. He didn't want to go see his father about this; he wanted to figure it out on his own. But if this keeps on happening, he might have Kagome in his bed again. Not that he didn't like that idea but they needed to talk about last time before they did it again…if they did it again. He sighed again. "And you know the funny thing is; she had a dream too…"
"She did?! Did she tell you about it?!"
"No but I heard her talk to your girlfriend about it…"
Miroku gasped. "How did you find out that? I've only been dating Sango for two weeks! She hasn't even told Kagome yet!"
Inuyasha smirked and pointed to his nose. "How else lecher?! I can smell her all over you!"
Miroku laughed nervously. "Well we have been doing that lately… I think I heard her last night saying that she and Kagome were going to their favorite café and talk. I'm sure it's about yours and Kagome's situation."
"Hmmm… Maybe I should follow them?"
"No Inuyasha let them have their girl talk and then I'll get it out of Sango then I'll tell you."
"Okay Miroku I'll wait." He yawned. He sat up and drank the rest of his coffee. "I'm going to go to bed. I'll see you later."
"Okay man. I'll see you later." He got up and walked out of the apartment.
Inuyasha sighed and got up from his couch. He lazily walked to his bedroom and crashed on the bed. Within minutes he was in dream land. He dreamed of his raven haired beauty with ice blue eyes.
