Chapter 22: Sir Lovulots and the New Nurse

She walked in the room wearing those cute pajamas of hers. The pair of shorts that show an obscene amount of leg with a purple tank top. Buddha, purple is a nice color on her. Now if only she'd come a little closer, I could show her how much I appreciate her choice. She looks so sad standing by the bed. And cold. These blankets are so warm, it'd only be right. Gentlemanly, even. That's why, for her own good of course, I pulled her into bed next to me. She let out a surprised squeak, but relaxed as my arm found their way around her torso. Perfectly innocent, might I add. I hugged her close to me and she sighed out words I thought I'd never hear.

"I love you."

I could hear my heart beating in my chest and hugged her again to make sure it was real.

"I love you."

I hugged her closer and nuzzled my face into her fur.

"I looove you."

Wait, what?

Kagome awoke from her new bed: a horrid, uncomfortable cot set up in the den. How she longed for her own soft, queen-sized bed, but alas, no. Not that she minded sharing with a certain injured monk. 'Serves him right,' she thought to herself. 'Although, he did say he didn't mean what he said.' She thought over this on her way to check up on her patient.

As she reached her door, she contemplated knocking. It was her room, after all. Did she really have to knock to enter her own room? But then again, she didn't want to just barge in on him like that. I mean, what if he had kicked off his blankets during the night and was currently only in those sexy black silk boxers they had gotten for him? Deciding not to examine her reasons, she silently opened the door and walked in.

And promptly died laughing.

Miroku was on her bed where she left him last night, but he was not alone. Next to him, or rather, underneath him, was her favorite childhood teddy bear, Sir Lovulots. She remembered how she would hug him and he would respond with "I love you." Alas, Sir Lovulots may never be the same again. Once her mighty, noble savior of bad dreams and lonely days, he was now reduced to preverted houshi's plaything.

Miroku now had his face nuzzling Sir Lovulots' cheek with his hands roaming along the length of his fur. Had she not been so preoccupied with holding in insane bouts of laughter, she might have been slightly turned on and jealous of her precious teddy. Of course, right now she was just concentrating on not peeing herself while thinking of a ... gentle way to wake up the sleeping monk. As if sensing her distress, Miroku slowly roused from his sleep.

~*~

Jii-chan's and Mrs. Higurashi's morning game of shogi was suddenly interrupted by a loud shout followed by hysterical laughing.

"Jii-chan?"

"I don't even want to know."

"Ok, so, because you just had to land yourself in the hospital again, they decided to send a nurse by today to check and make sure you're healing properly," Kagome explained to Miroku. A mischievous grin made its way to his face, that was rewarded with a firm smack to his head. "Nuh uh, mister. Don't even think about it. I made sure they knew to send a male nurse." She frowned and mumbled, "not that I should need to make sure." Miroku barely caught her hurt words and instantly regretted his joke.

"Kagome, I ..." his words were cut off by her mom calling Kagome downstairs.

She straightened her back, smiled at him and left the room. He listened to her footsteps going down the stairs and strained to hear the voices downstairs. There was also...laughter? He caught the words 'nurse' and 'poor guy' before the footsteps were making their way back up the stairs. The door was slowly opened and in stepped Kagome and the nurse.

And Miroku nearly growled.

Because Kagome was way too happy then she should have been in the company of any male other than himself. And because the nurse didn't seem to mind that Kagome was leading him by the arm into the room.

"Miroku," Kagome started excitedly, "this is your nurse, Yoh." She went on to talk more about him, but Miroku stopped listening.

Miroku grunted. This 'Yoh' was a good 6'5 of lean, muscular male. He had deep blue eyes and short spiky hair. His muscles were visible underneath his fitted polo shirt. However, Miroku was sure he could take him down if necessary, such as if he didn't get his arm from around Kagome's shoulder.

"...'s brother. Isn't that great, Miroku!" He finally tuned back into her. 'Great,' he thought glumly, 'she already knows his family.' He let out a grunt of pain, causing Nurse-man to blush slightly, remembering he was here on business, not pleasure. 'Bastard.'

The exam was fairly difficult with Miroku being as uncooperative as possible. Kagome looked on in concern, nearly making him behave.

After a dressing change and a few care instructions, Yoh finally left, but not before promising Kagome to come back in a few days. 'Double bastard.'

Kagome saw him to the door and returned to an irate monk.

"What's wrong with you?" Kagome asked upon seeing his cloudy disposition. He glared at her before responding.

"You know, I gotta ask myself if this is really worth it." She gave him a confused look.

"This?"

"This." He gestured to Kagome and himself. "Us. Maybe it's not worth the effort. Maybe karma is coming back to me, making me fall for a girl who is just like who I used to be."

"Fall for..."

"Or maybe I just should have known better than to go after someone who would so unhesitantly transfer her attention from one guy to another."

"What are you.."

"Kagome," he stopped her, turning his head to look into her eyes. "I...." he paused, "just go." With that, he turned to his side, feigning disinterest in the suspicious sniffing sound behind him. He heard her footsteps leaving. He followed them all the way down the stairs and heard the front door slam until he finally let the sole tear travel down his cheek.

~*~*~

Ayumi hummed happily to herself as she prepared to knock on her dear friend's door. She lifted her hand to knock right before the door swung open to reveal Kagome looking every bit distressed and a little surprised.

"Hey Kagome. You okay?" she asked, receiving a fake smile in return.

"Hey Ayumi, I was just going out for a walk or something. Wanna come with?" Ayumi nodded, ready to take any opportunity to find out what was wrong with her friend. They walked about a half a block before she seemed to remember the reason for her visit in the first place.

"So, Kag-chan, did my brother Yoh come by yet?"

Kagome just gave her a sad smile.

~*~*~

Kirara dashed back to the campsite to rouse her mistress. Upon reaching her destination, she found Sango asleep in her blanket. A few nudges was all it took to waken the slumbering exterminator.

"Kirara, what is it?" she asked sleepily. Kirara simply meowed and transformed, urging her mistress to climb on her back. "Uhh.." Sango reluctantly climbed on, and was jolted awake by Kirara's hasty departure.

They rode on for a few minutes before coming to a clearing. In it were two figures. Kirara took them into a tree that was downwind from the couple.

Sango looked closer to realize that it was Inuyasha and Kikyou. They were discussing something. At first she could only make out a few words, as well as Kagome and Miroku's names. Her eyes widened as she finally registered what they were talking about. She looked at Kirara and they were off in the direction of Keade's village.
