Chapter 12
“Kagome, you HAVE to eat something,” her mother commanded in a stern tone.
She hadn't eaten anything worthy of a meal in the past three days, and something was definitely going to be done about it.
“Are you ill, have the stomach flu, or a cold? In addition to not eating, you've had huge problems sleeping; the dark circles under your eyes are proof of that. What's going on, Kagome?”
Kagome looked tiredly at her mother, and finally managed a weak response.
“Mom, I'm fine…don't you think that if I had a problem, I'd talk to you or someone else about it?”
“I honestly wouldn't know, but I do know this: we're taking you to the hospital right now, no discussion. I worry for you, Kagome; you're my daughter, I love you and care for you. I'm sure that if you were in my shoes, you'd do the same thing.”
She seriously contemplated what her mother was telling her, and ended up having to nod solemnly. It was true; if she had a daughter and she was sick, or in danger of being so, she'd take her to the hospital, too. Or at least the doctor's office, but Kagome's situation seemed to be on the more desperate side.
“I guess I'll go, then…” she trailed off, following her mother out of the house weakly.
What's wrong with me?
XxXx
When they arrived, Kira (A/N: I think I called Kagome's mother that before? I hope I did…) and Kagome sat patiently in the waiting room for their turn.
After only two hours of waiting, they were brought to one of the private hospital rooms by a nurse. Kagome lay down on the bed, closing her eyes in exhaustion; just going this far had made her tired.
The doctor walked in as quietly as a stealthy cat, and then boomed out his formal introduction.
“Good afternoon! My name is Shippo Kiro and I'll be attending to you today. Now, I wonder what the problem might be with you, Miss…?”
“Kagome Higurashi,” she replied in a non committal tone.
“Right, Ms.Higurashi. You look tired, and underweight. Have you been eating and sleeping properly within the past few days? Your skin's pigment is pale, and it shows lack of vitamins and proper nutrition. You also have the dark circles under your eyes, which indicate poor sleeping patters as of recent.”
Damn, he was good.
“You're right; I haven't been eating or sleeping at all. I've just…lost interest, I guess you could say.”
“Lost interest? Are you anorexic, or feel that you need to lose weight? Do nightmares plague your thoughts and prevent you from sleeping?”
“I'm not hungry, and I am unable to sleep,” she replied vaguely.
“Not hungry? You must be starving after eating very little for three days; you should have gained a tremendous appetite.”
Kagome nibbled on her lip at having been cornered. She looked pleadingly at the doctor, but he understood what she meant by the desperation in her eyes.
“Mrs. Higurashi, would you please step out while Miss Kagome and I have a chat?”
She looked hesitant, but decided that this was for the best. Besides, her daughter was capable and old enough to being alone with a doctor in a hospital room.
After Kira had left, Kagome heaved the sigh she'd been holding onto for the past few days.
Slowly, and not missing any details, she told him all about Inuyasha, the fight they'd had, and her extreme depression. (Except for his Inu-form information, which she kept to herself.)
The doctor said nothing as she went along; no laughter was apparent from him, no matter how stupid she might've sounded.
Kagome hung her head as she retold what happened on their last meeting, and tears filled her eyes as everything came flooding back.
“So…I've been feeling pretty down and depressed lately…I don't really know what to do. When I tried to eat, my stomach revolted, so then I stopped eating all together…”
“What about your sleeping patterns? Is he the one stopping you from sleeping?”
Kagome nodded, avoiding his serious-but-friendly gaze once more.
Silence filled the room for the next minute or so, as he sat and thought about everything she said.
Soon, “hmmm”ing and “ahhh”ing could be heard as he scrawled down something on a note pad.
When he finished, he cocked his head to the side to examine his work.
Hearts and flowers decorated the page, each semi-detailed with shading. There was one huge heart in the middle with the word LOVE written in it, but Kagome was too bewildered to take it in.
Did she love this man, Inuyasha Taisho? Even after such a short amount of time? Could this be a situation of “love at first sight,” and she was it's poor victim? Did she love his smart remarks, evil grins, and personality?
Yes, yes, yes, and YES!
My god, she loved the jackass…
It was a miracle.
“Hallelujah” began to be sung by heavenly angels in her mind, at her final realization.
“Kagome?”
Her momentary lapse of sanity had been disturbed, so she was brought back to earth.
“Oh…ummm…I'm fine!”
Shippo noticed a new light in Kagome's eyes, and for a splitting moment she looked less tired.
However…
“I think you should spend the night here, just incase you have more problems sleeping again. It's merely a precaution to maintain your health; besides, if you have trouble sleeping and eating, at least there will be people here for you. We'll also feed you through an IV temporaraily so you won't have nourishment to worry about; the last thing we need is for you to throw up more food.”
Kagome beamed at him, and then launched herself into his arms.
“Thank you SO much! I'll go let my mother know now!”
Watching her pry the door open, he smiled knowingly. The girl was head over heals for this Inuyasha person, and he had a strange feeling that the boy felt the same.
Maybe love would work out for these two…
If only things were rolling just as well between himself and the girl from work he loved, Kirara.
She was a such a toughie…
XxXx
“This is Sesshoumaru, who dares to disturb me?”
Rin laughed, imagining Sesshoumaru's bewildered expression from the other end of the phone.
“…Rin?”
To be honest, she was surprised that he recognized her voice on the first guess.
“Aww…you're no fun, Sesshou! You're supposed to guess a million of your ex girlfriend's names before you get mine!”
“Oh, am I? Well, in any case...how did you get my phone number? I'm rather curious what stalker tactics you used to obtain it. Did you follow me home one day, and then look up my address in a phone book? No, that couldn't be it, because we aren't listed…”
“I have my…sources,” Rin said on a giggle, loving his curiosity far too much.
“Sources, huh? Do they include Inuyasha, by chance?”
“Maybe…ANYWAY, that wasn't why I called…”
“I'd like to know why…”
Rin seemed to have ahard time, but he pressed her further.
“I'll wait for you to spit it out, although I have a few good ideas of my own.”
She paused after he said this, and consciously made a decision.
It wasn't like he REALLY knew why she called him, right?
“Fine! If you think you know what I want, or why I called, then YOU can tell ME, and save me the trouble of doing it.”
A triumphant smile appeared on her lips, but it didn't last for long…
“All right, let me give this a try. You like me a lot, but you don't know if I feel the same. Confusion clouds your emotions, because you've never felt this way before, and you don't know what to do about it. Am I right, so far?”
Rin nodded blankly into the phone, forgetting that he couldn't see her. Luckily, Sesshoumaru took her silencer as a “yes,” and proceeded.
“You've been pretty indecisive lately, haven't you? You're wondering, `should I ask him out, or should I not?' However, rejection is something you fear tremendously, so you'd like to know how I feel about you before making a move. Something tells me that in the past, you've never asked anyone out before, so you're unknowledgeable about how to do this. To solve that problem, in the past, you've made sure to have a flamboyant personality, so that all the males you liked were the ones to ask you out. By doing this, however, you have probably attracted the wrong kinds of people, and have rejected men before.”
Tears welled up in Rin's eyes, but she didn't dare make sniffling or sobbing sounds.
When the silence seemed deafening over the phone, Sesshoumaru broke it once more.
“Rin, am I correct in saying those things?”
A heavy sigh resounded from the other line in response.
“Oh, what do you care, anyway? You're probably just the type to flirt with a girl, and then pretend to like her, when you really don't! Those types of guys are jerks, and need to be shot,” she said defiantly, adding the last line for good measure.
Her sobs were audible now, and it was obvious that she wasn't in her normal happy mood, which was unusual.
Sesshoumaru was at a loss for words, getting the feeling that she'd been in that sort of situation before, too. Perhaps what he'd said wasn't as right as he'd thought. In fact, if Sesshoumaru was a girl, he'd be identical to what Rin had just said. Due to his past and only relationship, his views on women had been degraded. Being hurt by someone you loved dearly was a physical and emotional downfall.

To be honest, she was surprised that he recognized her voice on the first guess.

“Oh, am I? Well, in any case...how did you get my phone number? I'm rather curious what stalker tactics you used to obtain it. Did you follow me home one day, and then look up my address in a phone book? No, that couldn't be it, because we aren't listed…”

Being hurt by someone you loved dearly was a physical and emotional downfall.
It might've been unfair to think that ALL women were out to hurt him, but for now, that was how things were.
Or at least, that's how they HAD been.
“I agree with you completely,” he added in a thoughtful manner, which threw Rin off into confusion once more.
“Why would you even bother agreeing with me? Do you have any idea why I'd think such things?” Rin's crying stopped as she was swept with surprise.
“I do,” he stated simply.
“I see…maybe we have more in common then I'd thought.”
Silence seemed to be a magnet whenever these two spoke, but Sesshoumaru always seemed to break it. How strange that a normally cold-and-emotionless man would be so affected by the giggling school girl.
“I want to see you,” he blurted out randomly, but still keeping a calm tone.
“What?!”
“You heard me.”
“No, that's not what I meant…I…I guess I wasn't expecting that…not at all…”
“Come swimming at the pool tomorrow, I'm working. Afterwards, we can go for dinner, and then a walk through the park. Does that sound like a good idea to you, Rin?”
His voice had gone soft, and for some reason, he sounded like he genuinely cared for her. It wasn't what she expected, especially since he wasn't normally talkative, but she wasn't complaining.
“I can't think of anything else I'd rather do, Sesshoumaru…” Rin said as she trailed off once more.
“Sesshou, is fine,” he said softly, almost teasingly, and then hung up.
Maybe Rin would be lucky enough to charm her way into his heart, before he managed to get into hers…

Yura walked hand in hand with Naraku as they made their way out of the movie theatre.
“That was SO SCARY! I think I'm going to have nightmares for LIFE!”
Naraku chuckled, but stopped at her upcoming outburst.
“Who's stupid idea was it to see a horror movie, anyways?”
“I do hate to tell you, sweetie, but it was yours.”
He hugged her sympathetically as she let out a string of curses into his thin sweater. :ofe was cruel; to her, at least.
“Naraku…?” she whispered into his shoulder while they stood still in an embrace.
“Mmm?” he answered, absentmindedly rubbing her back.
“Do you mind if I stay the…the…night…with…with you? That movie was so freaky! If I'd known I'd…”
“Of course you can stay; why would I mind? I live alone, you know; I control who comes over and when.”
“I know, but…I don't want to be…a burden…I don't want you thinking `I wish she would give me some space! I'm sick of seeing her.' Do you get what I mean?”
“Yeah, I do. Don't worry about it; I love spending time with you. Let's go home.”
Grabbing her hand and beginning to walk slowly to his car, they enjoyed one another's company until their destination was reached.
After snuggling closely and protectively around Yura, they fell asleep in his bed.
Surprisingly, evil horsemen and the chopping-off-of-heads weren't the main themes in Yura's dreams, which was definitely a relief.

“Kikyou, don't forget about your volunteering today,” her mother mentioned sweetly.
“Yes mom, I'm well aware of what I have to do. You don't need to remind me anymore,” she answered rudely.
A sigh was heard, but no more attempts at conversation were made.
Driving her expensive car, Kikyou parked it outside of the building she was working at, and pulled out the uniform from on the passenger side's seat.
She'd always hated the nurse assistant uniforms, so she wore them as little as possible.
Walking inside the hospital gingerly, she was met with cold stares from the lesser staff, but she ignored them completely.
After all, she was used to it. They were just jealous of her outstanding beauty; it was so obvious.
After she'd changed in the staff washroom, Kikyou signed in with her supervisor. When everything was clear, she was told to grad the new case clipboard, and deal with it on her own.
Even though that wasn't technically legal, they let her work on her own anyway. No one really liked Kikyou, but they desperately needed the extra help.
Looking at the board in her hands, she read the patient's stats.
Illness(s):
-Loss of appetite; little amounts of food for three consecutive days
-Restless at night; few hours of sleep for three consecutive days
Method of ailment(s):
-Nutrition sent consistently through IVs for the next 1-2 days, otherwise vomiting will occur
-Write a progress report every 6 (six) hours, documenting current status
-Give sleep meds if patient still has trouble sleeping
At the bottom left hand corner, the following was scrawled down:
Name: Kagome Higurashi
Sex: F
Current drug intake: None
Allergies: None
Disabilities/Diseases: None
Kikyou had to physically stop herself from screaming out in happiness.
This is going to be a LOT of fun! Oh, my dear Kagome, do I ever have it in for you…
XxXx
Author's Note:
TO ALL READERS, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT:
I need to know if people are INTERESTED in having a LEMON in this story. Please let me know in your review(s), because this would change the theme AND rating of this fanfic.
Holy crap, this is my LONGEST CHAPTER YET. Over 2500 words (not including the Author's Note or Review Notes) THIS IS INSANE!!!
Anyway…
Onto those notes!
Review Notes:
SomeoneInThePastOfEarth - I'm glad I threw out the hockey puck, and saved future readers from possibly stumbling upon it in your cookies. I updated fairly soon, just like you said…I hope you were happy with the chapter! Please continuing reading and reviewing in the future!
EE's Skysong - I'm so glad that you like it, even though it still is a bit teeny-bopper-ish…hehe. Yeah, lots of angst, huh? Well, gotta have the tension in there somewhere, aside from stupid Kikyou. Please continuing reading and reviewing in the future!
tidus's lil hottie - LOL! I'm happy that you don't want me to “get so fat that I won't be able to write anymore.” I want to know what will happen next, LOL! Apples are good, too… Please continuing reading and reviewing in the future!
kyasarinyume07 - Oh my; did you LIKE the angst, then? How bizarre. Anyway…I'm glad you like my story! Please continuing reading and reviewing in the future!
mylovemiroku - LOL, I thought their fight was sort of cute, too, but don't tell anyone I told you that; people might hate me for it. I actually like the Rin/Sesshou thing the BEST in this story; I really should make a Rin/Sess story, shouldn't I? I actually have an idea for one, so if I write it, do you want to be my editor-ess? It would be light and fluffy, like this story, so don't worry about hating it. I didn't know that was your sign off? Oops!!! I'll try not to use it anymore, then, hehe. Please continuing reading and reviewing in the future!
icemann - What the heck do you mean by “at last”? I don't like rushing things, you should know that by now! Anyway, you'll always support me, no matter what I write…and that's a good thing. Please continuing reading and reviewing in the future!
Hanako Horigome - LOL, I don't THINK Kagome is going to die or anything…I wouldn't want to kill off the main character, now would I? Don't worry too much. Please continuing reading and reviewing in the future!
Kiwi The Dog - Ahhh…you're right, he made Rin cry too…I forgot about that. Ehh…well, I don't hate him…but for sure everyone will love him before the end of my story! Or at least, I hope…I agree with the whole complication and “make the fluff more fluffy at the end” thing; it just happens, you know? I like reviewing when I really love a story, but for most of the stories I read, they don't write review notes; they get too many damn reviews, like a hundred per chapter, so they just don't have time. Please continuing reading and reviewing in the future!
Toma - AHH I wouldn't let Inu get blinded! That would be TERRIBLE…! Maybe I'd do that in a more angsty story… Please continuing reading and reviewing in the future!
Camille Blackfox - Yeah, Kikyou is going to be hated by every reviewer by the end of this fic, if things keep going in the direction that they are now. Oh well…I don't know if I feel sorry for Kikyou in the anime; I haven't seen it ALL yet, so…I won't judge her until the end. Please continuing reading and reviewing in the future!
Lady Storm - It's true; this story IS fast paced, but I am aware of this fact. Not only do I have little time on my hands, but I don't see enough fast paced stories that get to the main points. Almost all the stories I read are drawn out and extremely detailed; this isn't bad, but you get annoyed by hearing “his golden-brown, honey glazed eyes stared at her crystalline blue ones” all the time, if you catch my drift. I like the way it's going, and I hope you still enjoy it, even if it is fast paced. Please continuing reading and reviewing in the future!
A big thank you goes out to all of my readers and reviewers! Gotta love `em all…
Until Chapter 13!
