Chapter 5: When One Door Closes
A cheerful looking nurse handed Kagome her discharge forms. With a sing-song tone in her voice she ordered. “Okay Higurashi-san just sign here and here and you're good to go!”
The inu demoness quickly scribbled her name where indicated. Looking irritated she addressed the foreign object next to the snake youkai. “Do I have to get in the wheelchair?”
“You know our policy Higurashi-san. You can get out of it as soon as you exit the premises.”
“Fine.”
“Now then. Would you like me to get someone to wheel you out or..”
“I will do it.” Sesshomaru offered cooly.
“You!” Kagome looked to the dog demon in awe.
“Yes. I promised I would be with you until you were discharged. You have yet to leave the hospital.”
The nurse’s smile brightened even more at the dog demon’s generosity. “Arigato Sesshomaru-sama! You are more admirable than I ever hoped you would be!” Bowing deeply to the high ranking member of nobility she quickly locked the wheelchair into place and left the room with the signed forms.
The inu demoness was still gaping at the boy in question, Socrates held tightly in her arms. Really after all this he was still around?
“Woman.” Sesshomaru called breaking her focus.
“What?” Kagome replied absently.
“Get in the chair.”
“Huh? Oh. Right.” Setting down the cat, the inu demoness stood from the edge of the bed. Turning on her heel she flopped down in her temporary throne on wheels, patting her knees briefly to signal Socrates to jump on her lap. Once the seal colored neko was settled comfortably, Sesshomaru unlocked the chair and they were off.
“So. Uh. Sesshomaru-sama?” Kagome asked uncertainly.
“Yes.”
“You’re gonna leave me here once we’re outside right?”
“Yes. I have not been home in a day. I have matters to attend to.”
“Oh. Important running a 21st century kingdom type matters?”
“Matters that do not concern a commoner like yourself.”
“Hey! That was rude! I don’t care how important you are, you can’t say stuff like that to people!”
“Hn.”
“And what the hell does that fucking mean!” Kagome shouted. Neither seemed to notice that they were starting to gain a lot of attention from other occupants of the hospital. Most were gazing at the heir to the west while a few shook their heads at the loud mouthed woman he was pushing along, surprised and a little disappointed at her boldness.
“Woman” he called softly.
“What!” she hollered back.
“We are outside.” he calmly stated.
“Wait. What?” Looking around she realized that they had indeed exited the hospital. The sun overhead beat down on top of her uncovered head, reminding her that she had lost her cap earlier yesterday.
“Yes. Well this is where we part ways then. Have a good life.” Bowing his head to Kagome he began to walk towards his car conveniently parked right next to the hospital's entrance. It really did pay off to have royal blood in his veins.
“Oh. Well. Thanks for everything.” Kagome mumbled as she stood from her chair, Socrates held comfortably. Gazing down lovingly at her cat, the inu demoness purred to him walking in the opposite direction Sesshomaru’s taillights were headed. Her stomach took that opportunity to grumble noisily. Blushing she remembered she hadn’t eaten anything since yesterday morning. "There isn’t anything to eat at the house." She thought outloud.
“Why aren’t you moving?”
Kagome spun around still holding the cat to see Sesshomaru in the driver’s seat of his expensive black lamborghini. Missing his suit jacket, the inu demon’s royal blue shirt was part open revealing the very top of his chest. Her blush became deeper when she realized she had stopped walking in the middle of the street, the traffic around her swerving to keep from hitting the woman.
“Oh...Uh I haven’t eaten in a day. I’m hungry.”
“And this realization caused you to stand in the middle of the street like you were made of glass?”
“No!” Kagome shouted. Her stomach growled louder this time. ‘Let the earth swallow me now.’ she thought.
"You are...hungry?"
"Yea. I thought we already established that?"
“Get in.”
“Huh?”
“Hurry up and get in the car.” Pressing a button on his steering wheel the passenger's lifted open.
Kagome stared at the car like it was evil. Was she really about to do this? She was never going to get rid of this guy was she? How would she look riding in this expensive next to the heir of their province? She jumped as a car horn blared loudly.
“Are you stuck woman? I won’t tell you again. Get in.” Sesshomaru looked irritated. He was ready to get a move on.
In the end Socrates made the decision for her. Hopping out of its owners grip, the cat ran to the other side and leaped into the back seat of the car. Kagome rushed in after him and slipped on her seatbelt. The door automatically closed. Merging back onto the road, he pressed another button on his steering wheel once they came to a stop light. A dial tone blared through the speakers, the phone number he wanted already programmed into the device it seemed. A few rings and a deep voice answered. “Sesshomaru? Where have you been?”
“Forgive me father, I’ve been dealing with an incident that occurred yesterday and only just now got a moment to call.”
Kagome’s eyes widened. Father?!? Then that would mean that the voice on the other end of the phone was none other than the reigning lord of the west. “Inu no Taisho.” the inu demoness whispered. Apparently the car’s receiver was very sensitive because the master of the west asked:
“Son, who is that?”
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at the inu demoness in his car. Clamping his hand on her knee in a silent warning to keep quiet he began to explain the circumstances she had placed him in. “Well father you see, I was coming from class when….”
As he continued explaining what had happened and why he was out of the house so long, Kagome noted that he failed to mention the reason behind her seizure or the trip he took to her apartment where he secured her cat. Glancing back at Socrates, she smiled at the animal who was curled up in the back seat on the passenger's side, furry tail gripped cutely in his mouth. Turning around to face the front again she heard the end of Sesshomaru’s story.
“....So you see, I am merely making sure the woman gets home safely. I will be home within an hour.”
“Very good Sesshomaru. I’m glad to see you are starting to fully understand your place in our society. Make sure the woman maintains a good impression of us. What was her name again?”
“I did not mention her name. But she is called Kagome.”
“Kagome? That’s odd for a woman of Inu heritage to be named as such. Anyway give her a meal before you leave her presence. Seizure victims tend to be very weak once they recover.”
“Yes. Father.”
“I will wait and speak to you more when you return home.” With that statement the call disconnected. Sesshomaru turned off the phone system once more returning the car to its radio setting. Soft jazz music filled the car, clearly from another country. Kagome recognizing the composer voiced her knowledge of it.
“Branford Marsalis!” she squealed. “I love him! I’ve never met anyone else who listens to contemporary jazz.”
“Hn.”
Ignoring that this time, she continued to talk about Marsalis and how she always wanted to go to one of his concerts in America. Kagome was about to name her favorite songs from him when her stomach growled a third time in response to her smelling the delicious scent of meat cooking. The dog demon turned into an underground parking lot, stopping at a space that was labeled ‘reserved.’
“Wait. Isn’t this space being saved for someone?”
“The space is specifically for my family’s use.”
“Oh so you must come here a lot.”
“Hn.”
“What the fuck does that even mean?!?”
“Watch your mouth in my presence woman.”
“Oh. Right. I'm sor...I mean I apologize my lord.”
“Hn.”
“Wha...you know what nevermind.”
“Right. Anyway this place is more upscale than anything you're probably used to so act like you have some manners.”
“Hey!”
“That’s exactly what I’m talking about woman.”
“Wait. What about Socrates?”
“Bring him along.”
“Are you serious?”
“Yes.”
“We can’t bring a cat into a restaurant like this!”
“They will make accommodations for him. There is no sign forbidding pets so they cannot complain if they want our business.”
Opening the doors he allowed the cat to exit out his side of the car. Signaling Socrates to go around the other way, he did so, Kagome having to crouch down to pick him up. Ready the trio began to head for the elevators. As they entered he pressed the button to take them to the 40th floor, the inu demoness eyes widening as she saw the Park Hyatt insignia on the elevators closed doors. Looking back to Sesshomaru who was leaning casually against the railing.
“....I can’t afford a place like this”
“I have the bill.”
“But I’ve heard about this place, i’m not even dressed to eat somewhere like this!”
“Neither am I.”
“You’re dressed better than me!” Finishing her accusation, Kagome studied the black slacks and royal blue shirt that he had buttoned up as they walked to the elevator. Glancing back to herself she felt ashamed to be wearing a long sleeved green sweater with black pants and boots. Her hair was still probably a mess although she had combed it before leaving the hospital. Nobody much less him should want to be anywhere near her in public right now. Insecurity was spreading like a weed.
“The only reason I am dressed like this is because it was business attire day. Otherwise I would be wearing your same style of clothing, albeit more conformed to the weather.”
“Oh...yea…” she wanted to say more but the elevator dinged as it reached their floor, doors opening to reveal a hallway, the entrance to the restaurant situated at the end.
A feeling of dread crossed the inu demoness as her anxiety began to rise. Hopefully this wouldn’t be a complete disaster.
A/N; Okay there’s chapter 5. I’m pretty sure chapter 6 is gonna be banged out before 3am lol. Anyway I appreciate the reviews I’ve gotten so far on this. I honestly didn’t think I was that funny with my writing. I was just trying to copy the budding romance style of Rumiko where stuff doesn’t start getting real serious til later on. I guess that’s why people like it so much. Lol well please review. Oh and the restaurant I’m about to describe is based off of the real tokyo park hyatt restaurant. It will never be the same by the time Sesshomaru and Kagome get done with it lol.
