Chapter 2: The Imminent Weirdness
The beeping of a heart monitor was the first thing that reached Kagome’s ears as she regained consciousness. Observing her surroundings she sighed heavily as she realized that she was once again in a hospital bed. This was what, her eighteenth visit this year? Now she would have another scar on her arm from where the doctor had to slice the skin to drain the purified blood that poisoned her. She had hoped to make it through finals without an attack, but apparently that was asking for too much. Silently praying that this time around she hadn’t accidently hurt anyone when her powers activated, she began to sit up only to nearly jump out of bed when she saw the white haired man sitting calmly in a chair next to her. Arching an eyebrow at her reaction, the boy in the nice tailored suit elegantly stood from his seat and began to reach for her.
Abruptly Kagome moved out of the way of his touch. Just as she was about to voice her disapproval, instead of coming into contact with her, he pressed a red button on the side of the bed. Placing his hands in his pockets he casually greeted the woman like they had known each other for years. “Hello.”
Confused as to what was going on, the Inu demoness gaped at him for a moment, ready to cuss out the man in front of her. Who the hell was this guy? Kagome opened her mouth to demand an answer when a knock on the door diverted both their attention. Her doctor Teruo and one of his nurse entered, both carrying bright smiles on their faces. Teruo briefly acknowledged the odd boy before turning his attention to his patient. Picking up her chart at the foot of the bed he went through their usual procedure of determining what caused her to have another attack. He didn’t’ even have to ask the questions, she immediately began explaining.
“Uh...Well you see, finals are supposed to begin next week. This is only my second semester in college and if I want to keep my perfect average I found out I had to do extra credit in my world societies course.”
“I don’t see why that would cause an attack Kagome. Last time you had been sparring again against our orders and the strain you put on your body was too much.”
“I had no choice the last time!” She defended. “That bitch Miyako had been on my case for weeks. I couldn’t just let her continue to push me around!”
“Yes, but I am asking what caused it this time, and you wanting to maintain good grades never raised your energy levels before. Every time we see you someone not thing has caused you stress and anxiety. We have discussed this before, do you not think it would be better if you moved somewhere where not so many people are around?”
“I know we discussed it, and I told you I don't want to be live like some hermit in the country!” Kagome shouted. Her heart monitor began beeping faster as she became agitated. The nurse walked up to her bedside getting a syringe at the ready incase they needed to sedate.
“Calm down Higurashi-san. I know you don’t want to live alone, but I also know that your social anxiety increases your stress and overall depression. I’m not saying you have to be completely away from others, but I am suggesting you live in a less populated area that focuses on the individual rather than the group.”
“No.” Kagome flat out rejected Teruo’s advice. She had spent her whole life hearing people tell her she didn't’ belong here. She hated this country with a passion but it was all she knew. What if she moved and the same thing happened in her new homeland? Moving her problems to a new location wasn’t going to solve anything.
Sighing heavily in frustration ,Teruo decided the best thing to do was to change the subject. Focusing on Sesshomaru-sama, the doctor informed Kagome of the circumstances surrounding her latest visit. “Now that you are awake you can say hello to the man who brought you here. Higurashi-san I would like you to meet great Sesshomaru-sama, the heir to the western province.”
Cerulean eyes bulging out of her head the girl in question swung her back to the white haired guy who had been listening to their entire conversation in silence. Staring back at her impassively he winked at the girl making her blush. A smirk appeared on his features at her reaction. It was priceless.
Finally remembering how to talk she bowed her head to him, ashamed to have been swearing in front of this province’s eldest successor. She promptly apologized. “Sess..Sesshomaru-sama, forgive me...I did not realize it was you….I….I have never seen you in person.
At this a questioning look appeared on his face. His family was always on the news, written about in magazines, or their insignia: the purple crescent moon was literally plastered on everything in the west. How could she not know who he was? Was she that unaware? Shaking his head at her ignorance he returned to his previous seated position. Hands leaving his pockets to rest on his knees. Extremely curious, Sesshomaru asked the demoness “Where have you been all your life not to know what me or my family looks like?” Didn’t Doctor Teuro just say she had lived in Tokyo all her life?
A look of irritation was on the woman’s face as she lifted her head. Gritting her teeth she told him why she had no idea what his family looked like. “I have been in and out of hospitals my entire life my lord. I was always either in too much pain or unconscious so I did not watch much television. For personal reasons I don’t read newspapers and the crescent moon insignia all around I always assumed was a religious symbol not a family crest. I did know you and your family existed but I did not know your appearance.”
“You’re afraid to read newspapers?” Sesshomaru repeated. That was a new phobia to him.
“I did not say I feared newspapers, I said I do not read them for personal reasons.” Kagome corrected.
“Hn.”
“What?”
“Nothing.”
The two stared awkwardly at each other for a moment, the doctors cough taking some of the tension out of the room.
“Well then Kagome you know the drill. You have to stay overnight for observation and if all is stable you can return home tomorrow afternoon. I’m gonna give you a stronger sedative again to help deal with your anxiety.” Finishing his orders Teruo and his nurse bowed to both of them before quickly fleeing the room to escape the odd scene.
Eyeballing one another, the Inu Youkai silently observed the other, neither knowing what to say. Remembering that he had possibly prevented her from lapsing into a coma she decided to go ahead and give him the praise he was owed. “Uh...Sesshomaru-sama…”
He remained silent. Clearly he had nothing to say for the moment so she continued. “Th...Thanks for bringing me here. You didn’t have to do that.” she muttered.
Sesshomaru continued not to speak, finally snorting at her words. She was so weird. This girl had just switched between emotions so fast he was sure she was bipolar. ‘That would explain the medication the doctor spoke of’ he thought ominously. Standing suddenly for the second time, he startled the girl in the hospital bed who had been trying to lift the mattress up while she spoke. Reaching out he pressed the button the was labeled to lift the head of the bed, releasing it once she signaled that it was high enough. Giving her the once over he nodded once in acknowledgement before heading for the door.
“Wait!” Kagome yelled suddenly making him pause. His hand on the door knob he looked to her waiting for her statement.
“Yes?”
"Where are you going?"
"Home"
"What so that's it? Your just gonna leave like that."
"Yea? What's your point?"
Thinking of something, Kagome inquried.
“Uh…You're a student at Tokyo U right?”
“Yes.”
“Have you ever been in the department of Linguistics?”
“My english class was in that building last year.”
“Yea well, my professor Zakari-sensei gave me an assignment that is due on the 20th.”
“Okay?”
“Well….isn’t today the 19th?”
“Yes.” he answered wondering what she was getting at.
“My paper is already done, its on my computer... in my house. I know this is a lot to ask knowing we just met and all but…”
“But. What?”
“Do you think you could go to my house and print out my paper so that I can give it to her when I leave here tomorrow?” She asked hesitantly.
Now this threw Sesshomaru for a loop. Here he was the eldest son of the great Inu no Taisho. He had just spent all day in a hospital room with a very unstable woman who had randomly collapsed in front of him. This same woman had had no idea how important he was and now even after discovering his heritage, was asking him, who might we add was no more than a complete stranger to go to her house and access her private computer all to perform such a mundane task for her. Wasn’t saving her life enough for one day? Staring into her face he saw that she was completely serious right now. If it were anyone else he would have walked out of the room and never looked back, but for some odd reason instead of telling her where she could put that paper he heard himself asking:
“Where do you live?”
