Last Chapter:

 

“Who the fuck are you?!” Tachi-mora screamed. There was some silence and than, “What the fuck do you want with Kagome?! Who the hell do you think you are?!” Sesshomaru sighed, he knew that scent…. More than he'd like to admit. Kagome tried to sit up but Sesshomaru pushed her gently down, “You need not to waste your energy little one.” He said softly. But as the Youkai Lord walked away Kagome could sense his more usual façade had returned.

Chapter 8: Healing

 

January 9, 2007

 

The blonde neeko standing at the door had a small frown, “If this is how you treat all of your guests' maybe Kagome needs to live elsewhere.” Tachi-mora had to refrain from punching the cocky bastard, “The hell that's supposed to mean?” The neeko shrugged casually, “Just saying. Now can I speak to Kagome?”

 

Tachi-mora raised an eyebrow; the neeko had shoulder length dirty blonde hair with crystal blue eyes. His tail easily swished back in forth behind him and it was really getting on the mortal's nerves.

 

Kane watched as the family member of Kagome took in his looks and purposely put an arrogant smirk on. “Uh, Tachi-mora settle down. It's only 10:45.” The black haired human turned around and glared at a red haired, torn winged Tenshi. “Shut up Shunusuke.”

 

The man known as Shunusuke grinned, “Tachi-mora go back to bed you can tell you just woke up.” Tachi-mora scowled and glared at Kane once more, “What do you want with Kagome?” he asked one more time. Kane refrained himself from rolling his eyes, “I came here to visit with Kagome, is that too much to ask?” he said standing in the doorway.

 

A scent suddenly hit Kane's nose, “Maru-kuso?” as the name was muttered Sesshomaru stepped down the stairs and he was coated in Kagome's sweet scent of fresh rain and sakura blossoms.

 

Kane's smirk faltered and turned into his own scowl. “What is wrong Kane? Not expecting this Sesshomaru to be here?” Kane stood up straighter, “Well, well,” he said a cool smile coming onto his face, “What are you doing here?”

 

Sesshomaru's amber eyes intensified, “I was going to ask the same thing.” Kane smirked, “Well, I came here to visit Kagome. As I've been saying.” He pointedly glared at Tachi-mora. Sesshomaru walked towards the entrance of the apartment, “My business is my own and you can leave.”

 

Kane chuckled, “Sure I could but I came all this way I don't think so.” Tachi-mora rolled his eyes, “Whatever, but Kagome's sick.” The human male turned around and stomped up the stairs going to opposite way that Sesshomaru had come.

 

Shunusuke shrugged, “C'mon in. Hopefully Tachi-mora won't kill you when you're back is turned.” Sesshomaru prevented a growl from coming forth, `What is the Tenshi thinking? Allowing this disgraceful neeko under the same roof as Kagome?'

 

Shunusuke stepped out of the way and headed towards the small kitchen. Kane gave Sesshomaru an arrogant smirk and shrugged past him and stopped. Sesshomaru as well turned around, “Oh, hi Kane.” A broken voice said.

 

Kagome stepped down the stairs a bit shakily and she didn't think she'd ever used the railing so much. Sesshomaru had turned around with a slight glower on his face and in turn Kagome gave him a weak smile. Kane on the other hand looked as if someone had knocked him out and sent him to heaven.

 

Sesshomaru was suddenly right beside her and picked her up easily. “You shouldn't be up.” He stated a bit coldly and quietly. Kagome gave him an innocent shrug. Sesshomaru sat her on the large love seat and he stood their silently glaring at the neeko. Kane walked slowly towards the coach and sat down on the far end, closest to the door.

 

“You came a bit late.” Kagome started. Kane shook himself from his dreamy reverie and gave her a charming smile, “I was caught up in my school work.” Sesshomaru prevented himself from rolling his eyes, the neeko was absolutely flattering. “Oh what are you going to school for?”

 

Kane shrugged, “Well, I'm still doing my basics right now but I think I want to go into business with my uncle down south.” Kagome smiled. “What about you?” he asked. Kagome gave him a shrug as well, “Probably nothing too big.”

 

Sesshomaru watched in silent anger as Kagome and Kane talked about anything they could think of. “Kagome, it's time for some more medicine.” Mizu, the pink Tenshi, said from the kitchen. Kagome looked at the small clock on the wall, “It's already 11?” The two Tenshi came out of the kitchen, “Yep.” Mizu replied a new hickey sporting her neck.

 

Sesshomaru raised his eyebrow at the two and Mizu blushed while Shunusuke grinned largely. Kagome rolled her eyes and took the medicines and chugged a lot of the water. Mizu took the cups back and headed towards the kitchen where you could hear the water running.

 

`Kagome should be able to feel sleepy in a few minutes.' Mizu thought as she rinsed out the glass, `Whether she likes it or not, I'm not letting that Neeko get too close to her.' Kagome yawned, “Are you getting tired?” Kane asked. “Yea it is a bit late, and I haven't used this much energy all day.”

 

Kane stood and Kagome stared at him confusingly, “Did you get a haircut?” Kane smirked, “Yes I did. What do you think?” his hair was once down to his mid back and was now to the bottom of his shoulder blades. All of the ends were perfectly straight and he had a few layers. “I like it.” She said smiling before coughing.

 

Kane smiled, “Well, I'll be seeing you soon?” Kagome nodded, “Sure.” With that Kane walked out the door into the night. “I'm going to bed.” She softly called out to Mizu and Shunusuke. “Alright, night.” They replied.

 

Kagome tried standing up but had to have Sesshomaru's help, “Thanks.” She said. Sesshomaru picked her up bridal style causing her to gasp and he jumped the stairs two at a time. Kagome giggled as he sat her on her bed, “You act as if we just got married.” She teased. Sesshomaru leaned in close causing her to fall back and lay underneath him, “Practicing.” he stated before leaning in and stealing a kiss.

January 10, 2007

 

Rin sat in 1st hour already bored to death, `Go figure, I'm bored.' Nazuna sat next to her, “Hey where's the new girl?” Rin smiled at Nazuna, “Oh she's at home. She got really sick yesterday morning.” Nazuna frowned, “Is that because of the strange snow storm?”

 

Rin shrugged, “I suppose it could be that.” Rin looked away from the girl, `Doubt it though.' Jakotsu walked in with a scowl, “Darn that Renkotsu!” he muttered. Rin smiled and turned completely towards the front of the class.

 

2nd hour was simple Kagura never did much she was one of those laid-back but slutty teachers. In fact, at times Rin had to remember what the point of even going to the class. Jaken wasn't much fun either, he never was. In her view, and many others, he was a suck up little toad with a huge attitude problem.

 

4th was her dad's class and he wasn't there she noticed as she went and sat at her table with the rest of her friends. A guy named Muso was subbing and just said do what it said on the board before he looked on the board and noticed nothing was on there except yesterdays date. Muso frowned and looked at the folder and passed out a worksheet to everyone.

 

“So Kagome isn't here?” Miroku said breaking the silence. Rin shook her head in reply, “Daddy said she most likely wouldn't be.” A lecherous smile graced Miroku's handsome features, “Oh? And how would Sesshomaru-sama know this?” Sango bopped him on the head, “You're so perverted.” She mumbled.

 

Miroku shrugged, “It got you guys to talk.” Koga frowned, “Well… should we go visit her or something? I mean after all, she is our friend.” Ayame sighed, “I can't I have work today.” Sango stared at her in confusion, “You got a job? Where at?” Ayame smiled, “I'm working at Kagome's uncle's shop in the mall.” Koga grinned, “Congrats.”

 

Ayame slapped him playfully on the arm, “Yea right! Congrats for getting a job? You're crazy!!” Koga smirked, “Yea. What days do you work?” Ayame smiled, “Wednesday, Fridays, and Mondays.” Rin nodded, “That isn't too bad, I mean you could be working like all weekends as well.” Ayame shrugged, “Yea, and it pays pretty well.”

 

“Miroku are you going to be able to come?” Sango asked. Miroku smiled, “Only if you are my dear.” Sango smiled and than frowned, “You're a loser Miroku.” Miroku slapped his chest were his heart would be, “Sango, darling, you're words burn me.” The rest of the group laughed. Sango rolled her eyes, “Oh wait…. I can't go today; Kohaku has a meeting for school.”

 

Rin sighed, “Okay…. So it'll just be me, Koga, and Miroku?” Koga shrugged, “Maybe Shippo could go too? That little runt surly has met her by now.” Rin shrugged, “He could have, I don't know. But you can talk to him…. next hour?” she asked Koga. Koga nodded, “Yea, in athletics I'll ask him if he's here today, I haven't seen him.”

 

Lunch was quick, easy, and boring. Nobody had anything to talk about and it was really starting to get on Rin's nerves. They all walked to the large gym were Bankotsu's class was and as usual they were one of the first one's there.

 

Bankotsu was wearing a pair of long black workout shorts that were made of polyester and a dark blue wife-beater. He was shooting some hoops completely oblivious to the group that just walked in. Miroku and Koga headed towards the guy's locker room and Sango headed towards the girl's.

 

Rin on the other hand stood to the side and watched as Bankotsu made shot and shot again. After a few minutes and a lot of people started to pile in Bankotsu's attention finally averted from his basketball. His turquoise eyes flashed in confusion for a moment, “Hey… how long have you been standing there?”

 

Rin smiled her first true smile all day, “Oh since the bell rang.” Bankotsu flashed a sheepish smile, “Oh… my bad. Sorry.” He said smiling. Bankotsu went to his office, motioning Rin to come with him, to gather the stuff for today. “I'm going to need you to help me pull out some of the stuff.” He opened up his door and Rin gasped, “Wow. Bankotsu you need to clean this up!” she exclaimed. Bankotsu stood in the middle and looked around, “Yea… I guess I do, don't I?”

 

He gave her a smile and grasped a few nets that held the balls he needed, “Here, can you take this out in the middle of the gym?” Rin smiled and watched as another pile of papers spilled out everywhere, “Sure.” When she came back she noticed that he had changed into some slightly tight jeans that probably came from American Eagle and kept his wife beater on.

 

Bankotsu gave her a lazy grin and grasped a clipboard off his messy desk. “You going to go change, baby?” Rin blushed, “Uh, yea.” Bankotsu chuckled as she turned and headed for the locker room. Not noticing the slight crowd in the gym, Bankotsu turned his princess around and grasped her into a searing kiss.

 

Rin could barely hear the hoots and hollering from the other classmates but she couldn't concentrate. Bankotsu held her lips in such a hot, loving battle she could hardly fight back for dominance.

 

Just as quickly as Bankotsu grabbed her he released her, “Go get dressed, Princess.” Rin blushed a dark scarlet comprehending all the noise around her. She raced quickly to the locker room and slammed the door shut.

 

~x~x~

 

Shunusuke opened the front door before Tachi-mora could get near it. “Hello!” he exclaimed as he opened the door. Two guys and a girl that seemed vaguely familiar smiled back, “Hi, is Kagome around?” the girl asked. Shunusuke smiled, “Oh yea, let me go get her. C'mon in!”

 

Shunusuke ran up the stairs and Kagome was listening to her music drinking some concoction or another. “Hey Kagome, some girl and two guys are here wanting to visit, shall I send them up?” Kagome cracked a smile, “Goofball, you're acting as if you're my butler or something.”

 

Shunusuke chuckled, “Sorry I work for someone else, better luck next time.” Kagome giggled pretty sure he was speaking of Mizu. Shunusuke ran down the stairs once more and up came Rin, Koga, and Miroku. “Hey you guys. Where are Sango and Ayame?”

 

Miroku gave her a feigned frown, “Aww… no love for us, alright I'm out of here!” Kagome started laughing and Rin gave her a hug, “I've never seen you so pale before.” Kagome could sense the concern in the other girl's voice and eyes. Kagome shrugged, “Well you've never seen me in the middle of winter then.”

 

Koga chuckled, “Uh, Kagome. It is the middle of winter.” Kagome frowned, “Who's lying to you?” that caused the group to laugh and Kagome started coughing. Rin started to fret, “Are you alright?” Kagome covered her mouth, “Yea, I'm fine Mizu and Shunusuke have been caring for me.”

 

Later, Mizu came up, “Ready for your favorite potion Kagome?” Kagome grimaced at the mention, “I suppose we should get it over with, shouldn't we?” Mizu gave her a pitying smile, “Yea but it'll get you better sooner.” Mizu handed it to her and she gulped and swallowed some water. “Bleh!”

 

Koga's dark handsome features twisted up, “That smells horrid Kagome!” Mizu smirked, “Try drinking it every two hours!” Koga's face really twisted then. Mizu left the room and Kagome noticed her white skirt was twisted some and she snorted. The other three occupants gave her a strange glance but she said nothing.

 

“I feel a lot of spiritual powers raging in here Kagome. What happened?” Miroku asked in true concern. Kagome glanced at him and looked back down, “Oh nothing really….” Miroku and Koga exchanged glances.

 

~x~x~

 

“Sesshomaru-sama, you have a call.” An obnoxious voice called from the small intercom on his desk. Sesshomaru grasped his phone, “Tashio speaking.” A somewhat sinister chuckle rang in the phone, “So formal, excellent for a business. This is Naraku Kumo.” Sesshomaru glanced at the small sticky note that Abi had wrote him, Naraku was expected to be in his father's office at 4:30 sharp. He glanced at his watch it was now 4:07.

 

“I can tell you are looking at your watch. Kukuku, yes I am indeed running late. I have gotten into a crash and it doesn't look like I'll be able to make it until tomorrow. So sorry.” The man's voice was as if he had not a care. “How unpleasant. When can you meet us tomorrow?” Sesshomaru could feel the other man's smirk, “Business, business. 3:30 should be fine. Oh and tell you're father I'm deeply regretful. You have my biddings.” His voice a mockery.

 

Sesshomaru sighed placing the phone down and calling his father with his cell phone, he hoped he had an opening at 3:30. “Father Kumo won't be able to meet us until 3:30 tomorrow.” InuTashio sighed and than laughed, “Sesshomaru are you disappointed that you came to work?”

 

Sesshomaru scowled into the phone, “Father, my patience wears with these pointless meetings that nobody shows up to.” His father's chuckle was his only reply, “Well you are falling behind, and the New Year has just begun!”

January 11, 2007

 

Kagome sat up yawning, feeling a lot better than she had in the past few days, she stood wearily not trusting her legs yet. Stepping slowly towards the bathroom door she applauded herself, mentally, for not falling (yet) and landing face first. `Just a few… more… steps!' Her door suddenly slammed open, “Ahh!!” Kagome fell and crashed on her butt. Turning Kagome glared, seethed, frowned, growled, and anything else she could possible do at one time, at the intruder.

 

“I trust you are well Kagome?” Sesshomaru asked calmly. Kagome's eye twitched, “Just peachy.” She scowled. “Hn. Why are you on the floor?” her scowl grew, could this guy get any more annoying? He'd only been in her room less than thirty seconds and she was just about ready to chop off his head, roll it down the street, and kick it.

 

Pushing herself up as much as she could manage, before plopping right back down on the white/cream colored carpet. `And I was doing so darn good too!' her frown deepened before she was lifted up by the TaiYoukai. “Thanks a lot.” She muttered sarcastically.

 

“Hn.” Was his reply. `Can't this guy think of anything else to say besides Hn? Ooooh, his head is definitely going to be rolling. No… I know something better, I'll hit him upside the head with a rock. A big, freaking, large one! That'll show him!'

 

Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at the girl who was growling lowly. Obviously somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed. “Why is it that you scowl?” Kagome turned her gaze away from his enticing amber eyes and towards the clock….. `6:45!!!!! What in the world is Sesshomaru doing here at 6:45 in the freaking morning?' Unknowing to her she had spoken the words aloud.

 

“I'm here to check on you seeming as I didn't get the chance to yesterday.” Sesshomaru replied before setting her on her dresser. There he noticed a few folded up papers, picking them up and dodging Kagome's hands he read them over quickly. “Ah. My homework assignments. I've needed these.”

 

Kagome huffed, “No you don't. Give em' back!” Sesshomaru's smirk was her reply before he placed in within the hidden breast pocket in his black suit. She glared darkly at him, “Bully. Big ol' bully.” She muttered. Sesshomaru merely raised an eyebrow once more.

 

Kagome yawned, it was tiring battling this guy out so early in the morning, especially when you've been sick the past couple of days. Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned forward against her. “It's nice to have my fiery miko back.” He murmured into her ear before taking the lobe between his teeth.

 

Kagome gasped and placed her hands on his large shoulders, “Sesshomaru?” she whispered the uncertainty was evident. Sesshomaru sucked in the piece of flesh before moaning his reply. Her legs were spread to accommodate his hips as his right arm stroked her hair.

 

Sesshomaru kissed his way down the side of her soft oval face before licking her lips and pressing them against hers. His right clawed hand wrapped themselves in her hair and tugged slightly opening her mouth further for his onslaught.

 

A knock on the door interrupted the Youkai Lord and his own, “Kagome, you awake, hun?” Mizu's sleep laden voice called through the door. Kagome, who was currently catching her breath, nodded. Sesshomaru smirked before resting his head on hers. “I believe she is.”

 

You could almost feel Shunusuke's smile through the door, “Well be good you two. Kagome are you going to school today?” Kagome took a deep breath and looked up at the TaiYoukai that was currently between her legs and wrapped in her arms. Sesshomaru shook his head `no', before saying, “No, I believe she will be with me for the rest of the day.”

 

Shunusuke's voice held a lecherous tone, “Oh-ho I see. Alright again, be good you two.” Before two sets of feet walked away. Kagome blushed hotly, “Be good.” She muttered. Sesshomaru smirked once more before placing his thin lips against her the tip of her nose. Her blush seemed to intensify, “What are we going to do today?” she asked him.

 

Sesshomaru shrugged, “I have a three o' clock, but until then, Saiai, I'm free.” He chuckled at her, “Can your blush darken anymore?” she glared at him before he buried his face in the crook of her neck.

 

Later that day, Sesshomaru took Kagome to an expensive and thoroughly impressive Italian restaurant. Smiling up at the Youkai Lord as they were seated to their table Sesshomaru pulled out her chair before taking his own seat.

 

When the waiter gave them their menu neither of them opened it. “Ano… I don't have a clue what to order.” Sesshomaru smirked, “It's fine. I do.” Kagome smiled, “Well, why'd you make the poor man give us our menu's than?”

 

Sesshomaru gave her a slight resemblance of a shrug, “It's his job.” Kagome smiled rolling her eyes, “Boys.” Sesshomaru raised a questioning eyebrow at her, “Oh, is that so? Would you like for me to prove to you how wrong you are?” he asked in a hushed tone, so that only her ears could hear.

 

Her dark crimson blush was the answer.
