Chapter 14
The next night when Inuyasha came to pick her up, Sesshoumaru was there with him, waiting out in his car. Inuyasha explained, “Well, I told him we had a carpool going because of your car being the unreliable P.O.S. that it is and all and he said he wanted to help, too. And since he’s working the same days we’re working for the most part, we’ll switch off. And he agreed to take the extra days you pick up when I’m off—and don’t go saying you can take that pathetic mess of a car you drive, cause one, we know you can’t miss any more work and you will when that car dies in a ditch someplace and two, you know you fucking cream yourself just thinking about that car the bastard drives,”
He was interrupted by a mortified Kagome, “Inuyasha! Demon ears!” She just knew the daiyoukai was sitting in his car outside smirking at their conversation. “That reminds me,” she whispered, “you and I have to have a talk tonight.”
It was going to kill him not to reply dripping with innuendo. “Oh yeah? What about?” ‘My gods, I’m still standing…’
“I’ll tell you later. Now shhh!”
……………..
They attracted a lot of attention walking into the ER together, which is to say she attracted a lot of attention with a brother at each side. Which is really to say that the female staff cast her jealous and hateful looks because of her proximity to the desirable daiyoukai. But it didn’t end there—every time he came down to the emergency department to see a patient he made a point of saying “Hello” to her. That’s all, but you’d think they were talking about the paint choices for their nursery. And then when he brought her her drinking chocolate, they started gossiping. Within her hearing. She was going to bitchslap the next person who said anything about her apparent oral skills. Especially if it was that new nurse, Kagura—she didn’t even know her and she seemed to be instigating most of it. Why were women so damn catty? He was just being friendly!
It was a crazy night and she had yet to get a chance to talk to Inuyasha. She also had a feeling he was avoiding her since he could sense her temper flaring so finally she trapped him in the med room. Standing in the doorway, arms akimbo, Kagome started her interrogation, “So what’s the deal here? You told me he was this Ice Prince, but he’s been downright cuddly!”
Doing his best to keep a straight face and mostly failing he squeeked out, “Cuddly?”
Narrowing her eyes on the hanyou, she said, “Yes, cuddly.” Taking a deep breath so as not to launch her hands at his throat, she continued, “First we fell asleep on the couch together, then he almost causes a 50 car pileup pulling off the highway to find a park with a swing set so he can hold me while I cry and after that I…he….well…never mind. But he’s certainly not acting cold to me.”
He raised his brow in a perfect imitation of his brother. He was definitely asking the daiyoukai about that never mind part. To her, he laughed it off, “Well, c’mon, Kags, you know how us dogs are. We need lots of attention and petting and we don’t like to sleep alone. I mean, how many times have we fallen asleep on each other? Even after I was mated!”
That sounded reasonable enough. “So why haven’t you or your dad ever kissed my hand?”
There was absolutely no holding back his boisterous laugh that time. “The fucker has been kissing your hand?! That’s fucking awesome! I can’t wait to tell Shiori!” he exclaimed between gasps.
Feeling like the joke was on her, Kagome had had it. “What the hell is your problem, Inuyasha?”
Smelling her rising temper and hurt and not liking either, he sobered, saying, “Kagome, do I really strike you as the hand kissing type? And my dad—he’s like me. Well, softer around the edges, but you know what I mean.” Pulling her into his arms he said, “I’m sorry I laughed at you. But for most of my life—hell, until a week ago—he’s been this frosty bastard. You gotta see how this is funny to me seeing him be ‘cuddly.” Thinking he should throw a little help to the cause he nuzzled her neck, inhaling her scent and smiling at how his brother had done his best to layer his own on it and said, “You never know, Kags. Maybe he likes you.”
Her response was a very unladylike snort in his hair. But to herself, the niggling doubt from before blossomed into a tiny hope.
………………………
At 3am, when she usually took her break, she was just bending down to grab her new, pink book bag when Sesshoumaru came up beside her.
As she straightened, he said, “Follow me. I have to show you the rest of your present.”
She was intrigued. She’d always had a thing for mysteries. She threw her bag over her shoulders and followed behind, eager to get away from crazy women.
He led her out of the back of the department, swiped his card to get through the staff access doors, and hit the button on the elevator.
“Soooo…what is it?” she ventured as they waited for the elevator car to arrive.
“Shhh. Demon ears,” he said in his usual monotone.
She was too embarrassed to say anything all the way up to the 9th floor, where he held the door for her to exit. He led her down a hallway and she could smell the old, familiar smell of chlorine. Excitedly she asked, “There’s a pool up here?!”
“There is a state of the art current and wave pool here. It’s part of the GVI Rehabilitation Department. I attended medical school with the director and he gave me a key.”
He dropped her off at the ladies’ locker room and went across the hall to the mens’. He finished first and entered the pool, waiting to see her in the swimsuit he had bought for her. It was a white speedo with pink cherry blossom design. It was as close as he could find to his personal symbol and he knew the colors would compliment her coloring and the fit would help overcome her modesty. It had a high neckline and a conservative leg. He had purposely ordered it a size bigger than he knew she needed to accommodate her generous bosom. When she came out of the locker room, clutching a towel around her, he watched her eyes meet his and he waved her in.
When she finally dropped her towel on the bench at the side of the pool, his breath caught in his throat. Yes, she was overweight, but she was his and he found that it didn’t matter to him at all. And her legs…they were the legs of a true athlete and could only come from that rare combination of genetics and years of hard work. Thankfully, the water hid his arousal from her as she slipped into the water.
He turned on the current and it quickly got the water up to a moderate speed. He knew she was quite out of shape and he didn’t want her to struggle. He looked to her and asked, “Ready?” At her nod, he dove in, keeping the sedate pace so as to stay in the center of the pool. He kept an eye on his chosen, listening as her breathing became labored with the exertion.
After about 20 minutes, she stopped and let the current carry her to the shallow end. He continued swimming, knowing she would need to take breaks. Not long after, she continued and they stayed in the pool like that until the alarm on his phone went off, letting them know it was time to get out. They showered and dressed separately, meeting up in the hallway and he walked her back down to the ER, his hand possessively at the small of her back. Kagome was flushed from the exercise, but she was smiling the whole way down.
