Chapter 4: Attraction is Not An Option
Kagome screamed at the top of her lungs, “Where the hell is he!” Her mind was a jumble of thoughts, feelings, and ideas all of which currently involved Sesshomaru. She couldn’t explain why, but her instincts were calling for the stick up his ass dog demon. When he finally got here the demoness wasn’t sure what was going to happen. All she was aware of was that she wanted to see that man.
“Kagome-san please remain calm,” Teruo pleaded with is patient. “He is on the way I promise. Why don’t you tell me what is making you want to see him so badly?”
“I don’t know!” she retorted angrily. She didn’t care why her instincts were so concerned with the demon lord. Kagome just wanted him there.
“Then what do you intend to do once he arrives?”
The doctor himself had been surprised when her heart monitor had slowed the moment he mentioned the western heir on his way back to the hospital. It had only served to calm her for ten minutes though because his patient was impatient to see him. Even though the person in question was the first in line to the throne, Teruo was desperate to find the correlation between Kagome's power surges and the young heir. Just like her birth, it didn't make medical sense. If Sesshomaru-sama was truly the solution to Kagome’s suffering, he could only hope the prince was generous enough to continue to offer his aid.
“I don’t know that either! I just want Sesshomaru-sama!” With that Kagome tried to exit her hospital bed only to be hampered by the ensorcelled straps that held her in place. At one point she had attempted to leave Tokyo Medical to find the dog demon herself, leaving Teruo no choice but to restrain Kagome when the sedative failed to subdue her.
The inu demoness started screaming in frustration as the straps kept her in place. She wanted out now! Twisting against the bed frame, her aura rose and fell in time with her heartbeat. Thankfully she hadn’t activated her spiritual powers yet and wasn’t showing signs of doing so anytime soon. Just as her demonic energy would almost hit the level required to set off a seizure it would pause and then drop dramatically. Sighing heavily at the terminal situation he began writing the patient assessment in his notebook for future reference. Nothing more could be done until Sesshomaru arrived.
Too busy journaling the developments, Teruo’s eyes widened when a strong demonic aura reached his senses. Turning towards the source of the feeling he noticed Kagome had quieted down as well. To his utter relief the person who entered without knocking was none other than the heir of the western lands. Behind him a blue eyed himalayan cat observed the scene with interest. Returning his attention to his patient who had suddenly calmed down he began to scrawl down the new development rapidly. Stepping back he continued to veiw the scene from afar. He could use this time to gain insight into why she was so drawn to him.
The two Inu Youkai stared at one another silently. Unlike the last time their held gaze wasn't awkward. Breathing in heavily, Kagome took in his scent, cerulean eyes never leaving his. Sesshomaru as well seemed to be in a trance of some kind. His aura had risen at first to alert the inu demoness that he had arrived. Stifling, his power now wanned considerably since he'd entered, coming down more to her level.
The boy remained silent as he slowly walked up to her bedside and reached down to caress her face. She accepted his touch, a contented growl passing her lips as he softly stroked her. Both of them seemed to be unaware of what they were doing, the look in their eyes was just too distant. Curious as to what would happen once they regained their senses, Teuro went to the other side of the bed and began to unbuckle the straps that confined Kagome to bed. The sudden contact caused the inu demoness to come back to reality. Snapping her attention to Teuro’s hands on her wrists, she immediately pulled away from Sesshomaru’s touch to focus on her doctor's. A warning growl replaced her contended one at the feeling of someone's hand on her cheek.
Hearing the ominous noise the dog lord moved his hand away and shook the haze from his mind. When he stopped to look at his surroundings he was confused. The last thing he remembered was exiting his car with the cat in tow. His sharp hearing had picked up Kagome screaming for him. Now he was in her hospital room having no idea how he got there. The girl seemed just as bewildered as he was.
Dazed the inu demoness stopped her gnarring once she realized Sesshomaru was the one next to her. Her wrist finally freed she immediately unbuckled the opposite binding, throwing the material at Teuro the moment it was off. Turning back to look at the male dog demon, a blush crossed her face. The pair’s ogling of one another returned to being awkward just that quickly, neither knowing what to say. Sesshomaru broke the silence.
“Hn.”
“What the hell does that even mean?” Kagome was irked to keeping hearing that phrase with no idea as how to respond.
Rolling his eyes at the girl he remembered the creature he had brought with him and while trying to locate it, saw the small cat hiding behind the still open room door. Reaching out and closing it the demoness squeal of joy stung his ears as she called out for her beloved pet.
Kagome cooed for the animal, her arms open wide to receive him. “Socrates! My little man. I can’t believe I forgot about you! Come here SoCro!”
He literally flew to his owner, hopping up onto the bed and running into her embrace. Socrates purred in her ear as she rubbed his back lovingly. Pulling him back to look into his bright blue eyes he pawed at her nose which caused her to laugh. Happy to have her seal colored kitty back in her arms, the inu demoness's attention went to Sesshomaru. Surprise written on her features. “You...you brought Socrates to me?”
“The cat is here is he not?”
“Yea...but our kind usually can’t stand neko....”
“If you a peasant can break the stigma and keep one around, why shouldn’t me with royal blood be able to?”
“Peasant?!?!”
“Yes, that’s what you are isn't it? Judging by that bathroom you call an apartment.” Sesshomaru answered cooly.
“Hey. Now wait just a damn minute!” Kagome was ready to tell off the royal pain in the ass when a throat cleared to gain their attention.
Master Teruo had decided this was the appropriate time to stop the conversation before it got too out of hand. “Uh. Kagome-san it's been almost an entire day since your cat was last fed, would you like me to retrieve him a meal?”
Blushing, the inu demoness nodded rapidly. “Yes..he needs to eat on a schedule, I was about to go feed him before I...had another attack.” Saying the last part slowly, she put her head down and hugged the cat for all its worth. Apparently her frequent hospital trips were a touchy subject for her.
“Well then i’ll take him to my office and see if I can’t find him some raw fish or something to that taste.” Teruo responded. Holding out his arms, Kagome reluctantly handed over the himalayan to her good doctor. Cradling the animal Teruo bowed once to the dog lord and directed his patients attention to him.
“Now then Kagome-san, Sesshomaru-sama graciously brought Socrates to you along with the paper you asked him for originally. Do you not think you should thank him for all he has done for you?” Finishing his suggestion Teruo left the room with Socrates, once again leaving the pair alone.
“Oh...right.” Waiting until the door closed behind her doctor and cat she sighed sadly. She missed her little guy already. Regarding the inu demon once more she blushed when she recalled the things she had said to him when the medicine was still affecting her system. Weird though, since he had arrived it seemed to have left her system. Having not the slightest clue where to begin apologizing for the incident, she gave him her gratitude instead. “Sesshomaru-sama thank you so much for bringing my Socrates to me. And for my assignment as well.” Bowing from her waist in the bed, Kagome gave him the respect he deserved.
“Yes. Well. Here.” Handing out the assignment to her the inu demoness raised her head only to open her eyes wide in realization.
“Oh...Uh…” she stuttered.
“What is is?” He inquired. Creasing his brows he reread the paper’s title. This was definitely the one she requested, it had tomorrow’s date on it.
“Well….it's just that….”
“Just that what?”
“Well...I just remembered that…”
“Enough. Just speak your mind.”
“I just remembered….I...I had already given that assignment to Zakari-sensi this morning….That’s why I was on campus in the first place….”
“........”
“I don’t know why I asked you go get it for me.”
Sesshomaru only continued to stare at her with a blank expression.
“Uh Sesshomaru-sama?” she asked uncertainly. All these looks he was giving her was creeping her out.
The inu demon blinked once. Dropping his arm to the side, Sesshomaru turned on his heel and flopped into the chair next to the bed. Laying his head back against the wall, he closed his eyes, still silent.
“Sessho…”
“No.”
“Huh?”
“I said no.”
“No? What?”
“Do not say my name anymore. Just rest. I will not disrupt you.”
“What about you?”
“I will remain until you are discharged.”
“Huh...but why?”
“Because for some reason I feel a need to be here.”
“Oh…”
“Go to sleep Kagome.”
“Wait. One more question.” She whispered quietly.
“What?”
“Why did you help me this morning?”
“What do you mean why? It is my obligation as a future Taiyoukai that I aid those who need it.”
“But…”
“But what?”
“It’s just...you stayed here for hours after you brought me here. You went all the way to my admittedly shitty apartment just to get a paper for me, and you got my cat and brought him here without being asked. Then to top it all off you agreed to continue being here even after finding out what I am and what I could possibly do to you. Anyone can see that is way beyond the obligations of any rank of nobility.”
“So...your question is?”
“Why are you here!” Kagome raised her voice slightly as she revealed what was on her mind.
“I don’t know. I don’t know why I’m here. All I know is that I need to be here. Don’t worry I plan on us going our separate ways tomorrow when the moment are released.”
“Okay. Well that’s all I wanted to know. Goodnight.” With that Kagome faced away from the Inu demon and laid her head down on the pillows. Shifting once it was obvious she was faking being asleep from the way she was purposely breathing heavily.
Sesshomaru rolled his eyes and stood up, making the woman turn around to see what he was doing. Going over to the door he flicked off the lights and returned to his previous seat. Blue eyes met gold in the dark, the moonlight illuminating her half turned body towards him. Kagome finally broke the eye contact and returned to facing the window, singing in her head the last thing she heard was the sound of his soft breathing. She fell easily into a deep sleep.
A/N: Whoop there it is. Some tension there huh? Well anyway I named the cat after the great greek philosopher who was one of the founders of western philosophy. Yes I am really into mythology and people who were deep thinkers. The way I see it, they’re time spent looking at the bigger picture made it possible so that we didn’t have to. Lol that’s true even in today’s standards. You may own an Iphone but you’ll be damned if you know how it was made.
