Chapter 15

Inuyasha was just leaving the back storeroom when he saw the couple coming towards him. Kagome was excitedly making him promise they would go every time they worked. ‘Go where? And what the…’ They sported matching wet braids down their backs.

“Oi! Why is both of your hair wet?”

“We went swimming!” Kagome exclaimed happily, still beaming and still quite rosy. “Sesshoumaru hooked me up with his super secret, ultra swanked out pool upstairs and he’s promised we’ll go every time we work as long as he doesn’t have to see a patient!”

“Well don’t go tellin’ any of those harpies out there that, or you’ll have to wear body armor. Especially that new bitch, Kagura.” That new nurse had balls coming in to a new job and talking smack the moment she got here.

“Kagura Kaze?” the daiyoukai asked. This could go nowhere good.

Pausing just long enough to think the hanyou answered, “Yeah, I think that’s what she said. Black hair, red eyes, uppity attitude. Why, you know her?”

“We are acquainted.”

Taking Kagome’s arm, he gently but insistently steered her back to her desk, Inuyasha following behind in curiosity. Bidding her a nod in farewell, she immediately logged back in to her computer and answered the ringing phone.

He didn’t have to look far to find the witch. She was sitting at the two-computer island in the nurses’ station about five feet from Kagome’s seat, eyes narrowed in outrage at the girl she couldn’t believe was her competition. As soon as she felt his crimson eyes on her, she gasped in shock to see the anger on his usually blank countenance. She recovered herself quickly, and sent him an appreciative look she had seduced many demons with while sliding down into a sultry pose. Her voice dripping with sex appeal, she said, “Why, Sesshoumaru, why don’t you come over here and say hello to your little, bitty Kagura. I’ve missed you, baby.”

He saw Kagome turn to look at the wind witch. Felt the change in her scent as those two little sentences undid all he had done to lighten her mood in the last hour. He knew what she was thinking, but this was not the place to discuss it. “Kagura, you will follow me.”

Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome, and offered her the barest of smiles, willing her to see it, before walking out of the pod and towards the exit to the main hospital. Shooting Kagome a triumphant glare, Kagura sauntered out after him.

‘What did I tell you? He was just being friendly. You’ve just seen his type and you, Kagome, are not it.’ She always did this to herself. Like she was so desperate for someone to love her she made something out of nothing and then got hurt when she was disappointed. Obviously, Inuyasha had been joking with her earlier and she was too involved to see it. While it was true that she’d never felt so drawn to someone before, he was also by some strange coincidence her unlikely fantasy in the flesh. No wonder she was attracted. Add to that that he was just being unbelievably thoughtful and sweet to her and she didn’t have a chance. ‘It will be OK. You’ll be his friend and that will be enough. It has to be enough.’ Her mind never failed to twist the knife: ‘Maybe you can sing at his wedding, too.’ She shook off her depressing thoughts, though the mood remained, and went back to work.

……………………………..

Sesshoumaru walked in to the Family Bereavement Room and as soon as Kagura followed through the door, he surrounded the room in a barrier.

A cocky smirk on her face, she said, “Oh, this is going to be good.” She licked her lips and prowled over to the daiyoukai, remembering their weekend encounter where even with her demon healing she had screamed herself hoarse with pleasure.

He raised clawed hand. “You will not touch this Sesshoumaru, Kagura.” Watching as confusion washed over her face, he continued, “Why are you here?”

She stopped just shy of reaching his body. “Well, that should be obvious, baby. When I heard you were working here, I applied the very same day.”

“You lie as poorly as ever. You will answer this Sesshoumaru.”

“Look, I just had to get a job here. What does it matter to you why?”

“You cause trouble wherever you go. You have been here less than one day and already you have used your caustic tongue to injure an innocent.”

“What innocent? Not that fat, human whore?” She was out of his league so no true rival, but she didn’t like him paying her so much attention.

Overcome by the insult to his chosen, Sesshoumaru’s golden eyes swirled with crimson as his beast raged. He directed that rage at the source, bellowing, “You will not insult the girl Kagome again!”

“She’s 32, Sess, hardly a girl. She’s fat and that’s just the truth. And if you knew the things that ‘girl’ has let happen to her over the years…”

“Silence!” The daiyoukai swelled his aura and gave her a glare that chilled her to the marrow. He was almost as angry as he had been when he heard of the monstrosities that had occurred to her as a youth. He would not tolerate anyone threatening or speaking ill of his chosen.

Kagura had taken no notice of his upset until now and now she was absolutely terrified. She dropped to her knees, trembling, and bared her neck in submission. As he continued to growl down at her, she couldn’t help but wonder what that human had done to gain such a fierce response from him. If she didn’t know any better…no, there was no way. She was human and though she did have power, it was nowhere near that of the demon towering above her.

Satisfied he had made his point, Sesshoumaru recollected the barrier’s energy into his youki and strode from the room. Thankful for her life, however short it would turn out to be, Kagura raised herself into one of the padded chairs and wept. If she betrayed Naraku and warned Sesshoumaru, he would crush her still beating heart in his hand. When, not if, Sesshoumaru found out she was working with Naraku, he would shove his clawed hand straight through her body and dissolve her alive with his dokkasou. She had some thinking to do.

………………………..

“Kags?” Inuyasha asked quietly, standing behind her his hands on her slumped shoulders. He’d seen the whole exchange and smelled the sadness in Kagome’s scent. It didn’t take a genius to know what she was thinking.

“Hey, Yasha. What’s up?” She said with false cheer.

He wasn’t fooled. “I don’t think you saw everything that just happened.”

“What are you talking about?”

“You didn’t see the look on the bastard’s face when that witch dared to talk to him after what she said about you. He was fucking livid.”

“I’m really not sure what that has to do with anything.” She played with her pen cap, keeping her head down.

“He went off to threaten the bitch not to dare hurt you again, baka. Just wait. When she comes back I bet she apologizes to you.”

“It’s fine. I mean, they’re obviously involved. She probably just felt jealous because she didn’t realize I was pack.” That was clearly the most reasonable explanation.

“Kagome, what the hell? They’re not involved. Sesshoumaru isn’t involved with anyone and he never has been.” He knew what she was trying to do and he damn sure wasn’t going to let her. This time he had a 100% guarantee that the guy she liked wasn’t going to hurt her and he had made it his mission to do what he could.

“Look, I don’t see why we’re even talking about it. They may not have a relationship, but she knows him intimately. That was clear.” Why couldn’t he just let this drop?

“We’re talking about it because you’re fucking sad, that’s why. Look, I know you like him. And I know he likes you. Don’t let some one night stand mistake from before he even met you get in your way.”

“Inuyasha, it’s not like that,” she said with a sigh.

“Yeah, whatever. This nose don’t lie.” He kissed the top of her head and went back to his patients.
