Chapter
19:� When Removing Pieces�

�� Koga knew that the trip he had been
planning was coming closer.� Just a few
days from now, and he would have Kagome to himself.� Just the thought was enough to have him a euphoric state of
ecstasy.� It gave him a high.� He was still a little off kilter from that
morning when Kagome had surprised him.�
He was also still dealing with the knowledge of the depth of his
possessiveness.� It was a term that he
had never thought to apply to himself: jealously possessive.

�� He had always gotten furious at Inu
Yasha in the past for that same trait, and he was not the one showing it.� He ruefully reflected about having to
experience something to understand the other person�s motivations and
feelings.� He looked at Kagome and stroked
her back.� She was curled up to his
side.� Another pang of protectiveness
shot through him as he swore that nothing would ever harm her.� He knew that she could have died or been
hurt terribly a million times in the past, and he wouldn�t have been able to do
a single thing about it.� Those days
were long over, but their memory still lurked in the closet like the evil
monster that could never be scared out of there.

�� Koga continued reflecting about their
earlier coupling.� He had knotted inside
of her. �It was natural for his beast
and didn�t necessarily mean that he had pupped her, but it did mean that there
was a chance.� He wouldn�t know for a
while.� The hormones and pheromones
wouldn�t be strong enough to detect from other normal bodily cycles for a few
weeks yet.� He contemplated about the
timing.� He had always wanted his own
young to raise, but that dream had seemed unattainable for so long.

�� Kagome woke up slowly, stretching
every muscle out at her leisure.� She
felt replete and content.� Looking up,
she noticed that Koga was deep in thought.�
Shifting as lightly as she could, she planted a kiss just to the side of
his mouth.� His smile lit up his face
and teased a responded one from her.

�I
have to work tonight and tomorrow night.�
After that, I will actually be on that vacation time.� Are we still going?� she looked up at him
expectantly as she waited for a response only to receive a nod of affirmation.

�� Sighing, she got up and started to
clean up, first herself then her apartment.�
She checked her phone and saw that she had a text message.� �Who would be texting me?� she wondered
silently while deciding whether or not to open the phone. �She finally just checked it and nearly fell
over.� It was definitely an exuberant
message.� It was Inu Yasha�s
granddaughter asking if she wanted to get together again in the park.� Kagome thought about it and then opted to
text back and let her know that she had to work the next couple of night, but
after that they could play it by ear.�
She closed her phone and put it back on the charger.

�� Kagome looked regretfully at the full
laundry hamper before taking her big girl pill and pulling out the laundry baskets
and sorting, so she could have clean clothes at work.� She had a good feeling about work tonight.� Maybe she would be transferred back�� She knew that it was probably too soon for
her to be swapped back, but she could always dream.

�� Going out the inside entrance to her
apartment, she made her way down to the laundry facilities.� She double-checked that she had her keys on
her before she let the door shut.

�� The room was a bare, white room that
was set up for both efficiency and convenience.� Front loader washers lined were on one wall and the dryers were
on the adjacent wall.� Several small
table/desks were lined in rows and columns through the rest of the room.� There were dispensers that one could buy the
washing materials needed if so desired.�
It was a very clean, white room.

�� She began to load colors into one of
the machines.� Once she got the load
started, she surveyed the empty room once again.� She could feel eyes taking in every movement that she was
making.� It was starting to creep her
out a little bit.� She took a deep
breath and grabbed her MP3 players and started listening to some music to help
dismiss the odd feeling she had.� She
continued loading another load into the next washer and set the temperature and
added the detergent as was appropriate.�
Once her basket was empty, she got comfortable on top of one of the
tables and continued to look around the room and listen to her music.� She wished that she had grabbed her book as
she normally did for something to do while she waited for the laundry to finish
washing.

�� She began to daydream a little as time
slowed down to a crawl.� She adjusted to
the feeling of being watched and began to let her guard down a bit.� It had to be room.� It was worse than a hospital in the plain, stark white department.� Kagome�s mind was caught up in a series of
random adventures from her travels into the feudal era when the washer
finished.�

�� Something touched the exposed skin at
the base of her back where her shirt had ridden up.� She gasped and jumped up, nearly stumbling onto her bottom.� She was trying to steady her breathing and
calm down.� She looked wildly around the
room, only to not see a single person.

�� Forcing her breathing to slow down,
she began to swap her laundry from the washing machines over to the dryers. �Her whole body was shaking, making the task
last longer than it normally did.� When
the last of her laundry was in and the machines started, she opted to lean
against a wall rather than sit anywhere with her back exposed again.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

�� Inu Yasha flopped into one of his
comfortable chairs.� His granddaughter
was on a mission to kill him about Kagome.�
His house was spotless, and his cabinets were full of everything he
could think of.� She had drug him to the
store not once, not twice, but three times.�
He mused at the energy that she was expending on her quest to have her
childhood heroine here as quickly as possible.

�So,
when are you going to call Kagome?� she gushed as she finished wiping the last
picture frame.

�I
told you that she works nights,� Inu Yasha muttered.� �Besides, I will call her later, and she will let me know when it
is a good time.� She is a newly mated
woman now with a life of her own.� She
has changed a lot since the last time I saw her even though it wasn�t that long
ago for her as it was for me.� I bet she
will be over within the week though.�
She was always really exuberant when meeting new people.�

�But�
Ok,� she muttered.� �But, I so get to be
the one to introduce her when she meets everybody.�

�� Inu Yasha laughed, �Fine.� You can tell everybody ONCE she is
here.� Now, I think it is time to chill
out, and I think we should probably go for a short walk.� Sound good?�

�� She was heading back out the door as
soon as he got the question out with his hand in hers, almost yanking him from
his comfortable position.� She pulled
him out the back door to enjoy the little piece of nature that he had at his fingertips.� He couldn�t own the sacred tree, but he
could keep his yard very reminiscent of feudal Japan.

�� There were several large trees with
plenty of branches and green leaves.�
The smell was pure and woodsy.�
The ground was soft and covered with thick, soft grass.� There was even a koi pond that he could
admire.� It was something that he
enjoyed doing, taking care of the little get-a-way just through his back door.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

�� Kagome breathed a sigh of relief as she walked up the
stairs to her apartment.� She took her
time getting upstairs so she would be calm.�
The last thing she wanted to do was to explain to Koga that she was
paranoid downstairs by herself.� Wow�
Wouldn�t that just seem so pathetic?�
She finally made it to her door and let herself in.�

�� Koga was up and cleaning up after the sandwich he had made
for himself.�

�How did you manage to
reconnect with Inu Yasha?� he asked.� He
had been both wanting and dreading this conversation.� He wasn�t sure how it would go, but he was pretty sure that the
outcome would not be pleasant.

�You know I went out on
that jog last night.� Well, I met his
granddaughter, Kaminari, while she and her friends were playing soccer.� I got there just as one was leaving, so they
had an odd number of players.� I stopped
the ball from hitting me, and she invited me to play.� We played until it was just the two of us, and Inu Yasha was
picking her up to take her home.� He
stayed behind for a minute, and we talked, exchanged numbers and said goodbye.�� She looked up at him, gauging his reaction
to what she had said.� �You were so
tired and still asleep, so I left you alone and just haven�t had a chance to
tell you yet.�

�� Koga nodded and went to put his arms around her and kiss
her.� Kagome turned her face, and his
kiss fell on her cheek rather than his intended target.

�Kagome, look up at me,�
he said in a voice that almost begged.�
He didn�t continue until his eyes held hers.� �I love you, and I was not trying to dissect your relationship
with him.� I do trust you.� I guess I was just being a jealous rear.� Thank you for telling me,� he soothed.

�� She sighed before softening in his arms.� �You need to trust me.� I am committed to you.� I have never cheated on anybody in my life,
nor would I.� Yes, I am going to
cultivate a friendship with Inu Yasha.� Can
you deal with that?� I do need you to be
ok with that.� He was such a big part of
my life, and he is still important to me.�
Although, he does have a different role than last time,� she said before
kissing him softly.� Koga returned her
kiss, in effect agreeing to what she had said.�
He knew that it wasn�t what he wanted, but it was something that he
could deal with to have his mate beside him.�
He did trust her, and he did trust Inu Yasha, but he wasn�t sure if he
could trust Inu Yasha not to try to go further in his relationship with Kagome
than Koga wanted him to.

�� Kagome broke the embrace with an exclamation about needing
to get ready for work before she was late.�
Before Koga could say anything, she had her shirt, pants and shoes off
and was slipping on scrub bottoms, a tank top and a scrub top and the shoes that
she wore to work.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

�� Kagome rushed into the room and clocked in and then finally
looked around.� She had to get
started.�� The sounds of the ER were
filling her ears and kicking in her adrenaline drip.� This was the only the section of the hospital that would give her
that rush.� The other sections she had
been in were calm and quiet.� This area
was loud, noisy, rushed and should be labeled as a drug.

�� Her only problem: Sesshomaru.� He was back to spitting out orders and being an ass.� Kagome could feel his eyes following her and
every move she made, but he wasn�t seeming to try to get her alone or surprise
her.�

�� He just watched her.
