Love, Murder, and Betrayal

Chapter Nineteen: A hanyou, miko, and a bored Inuyoukai Sesshomaru!
"Basically yes." Myoga sighed once again.

"T-Thank you for the information, but I must go, business is waiting." The Inuyoukai stammered, lost for words before he hung up. He then picked up his cell phone and dialed yet another number.

"Torrin, give me the updates.." He said calmly as he rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"Sir, my sources have brought it to my attention that a certain miko is back from the yonder and attacked Kimura's daughter, Ms. Kagome Higurashi is currently in the hospital as we speak. Doctors believe it's a heart condition.." Torrin replied like a recorded message, "Toru's disappeared and we have no clue to where he's gone, though he have obtained the information concealed in his quarters. Hidden very carefully may I add.."

"That will be all." Sesshomaru said hanging up. Sighing heavily as he rose to his feet and walked slowly over to his closet and quickly getting dress.

He was going to go to the hospital and check on the girl, it was the least he could do since he practically sent Kimura to her death in the states. Slipping on his shoes and calmly walking down the halls, a small hand gun under his suit jacket and a cell phone in his pocket. He quietly check on Shiori then went down the stairs, pulling a black trench coat to go along with his business suit.

"Where are you going so late my lord?" Jaken asked coming hesitantly around the corner.

"It is none of your concern Jaken," He replied coldly, "Let both Ah and Un inside and send them to Shiori's sleeping quarters. They are to watch over her, protect her.. Is that clear?"

Nodding, Jaken scurried out of Sesshomaru's sight and opened one of the back doors, whistling loudly, then whispering in a collective voice. Moments later, two enormous black Dobermans raced to the Inuyoukai and sat down on their haunches obediently.

"Shiori," He said rather softly, "upstairs, to the bedroom second to the left, two doors down from mine. Don't wake her, but protect her watch her. Now go!"

The two dogs got up and quickly trotted upstairs, it was as if they had understood Sesshomaru completely and they followed his orders. Taking one last good glance around, the Inuyoukai quickly left the mansion and headed towards his personal car, tonight he wouldn't need a driver. Getting into his car, buckling his seat belt and starting the engine, Sesshomaru once again pulled out his cell phone and retrieved the necessary information.

oOo

Sango quietly held Miroku's hand tightly as they both sat in the waiting room. It had been only a few hours since they had rushed Kagome to the emergency room after she collapsed at Sango's house and Kagome's father told them that she still had not come out of her unconscious state.

"Miroku?" Sango whispered leaning against Miroku's chest.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"What do you think happened to Kagome?" She questioned worriedly, "I mean she looked so horrible.."

"I know what you mean Sango," He replied, "but I have no clue to what happened. I’m just as confused as you are.."

"Sango? Miroku?" A man said walking slowly over to them, his face had stress and worry lines; they were fresh and he had looked ten years older than he did when he had awaken earlier that day, "You two should go home. You have school in the morning.."

"But Mr. Higurashi!" Sango argued before Miroku shushed her.

"Are you going to be okay Mr. H? Do you need anything?" Miroku asked standing up, taking Sango with him.

"Aye Miroku, I suppose that I do need a lot of things," Kagome's father replied sullenly, "but it's nothing that anyone can give me.."

Miroku and Sango nodded before they put their coats on and headed towards the exit when a rather elegant man walked calmly passed them. The only thing that they really saw was his long silver hair. Sango stopped dead in her tracks and looked back over at the man. It couldn't be him! He's supposed to be in America! Why is he wearing a suit and how did he find out that Kagome was in the hospital?

"Mr. Higurashi I presume." A cold and cool voice said.

"Yes, I am him Mr. Tama." Kagome's father replied standing up straight.

"My sources have told me of your daughter's misfortune and I am sorry for everything that you've been going through." Sesshomaru said professionally, "But in current matters, I wish to see your daughter and would like to have a few of my security guards watch over her until she is released.."

"Does this all have something to do with Kimura?" Kagome's father asked already knowing the answer.

"Yes it does and I wish that I can help protect what's left of your family since I have already failed once." Sesshomaru was somewhat disgusted with himself for being so nice, but he had to or he might not be able to get rid of Naraku.

"Follow me," Mr. Higurashi told Sesshomaru heading to his daughter's room.

Quickly the two men left leaving both Miroku and Sango even more confused than before. Not saying a word to each other as they walked, the Inuyoukai's eyes coldly surveyed the space around them. He knew that Naraku had had something do with it, he always did. It didn't take long for them to reach Kagome's hospital room, her father stood at the door and nodded as Sesshomaru walked into the poorly lit room. Closing the door behind him, he went towards the unconscious girl; Going over to her bedside, he looked down at her, he could smell the blood that had once been on her face.

Tubes were practically coming out of the poor girl, but he could smell no sign of any sickness in her yet the faint scent of Naraku and the hint of a woman's perfume. 'This scent is familiar, who is this woman and why does her scent cover Ms. Higurashi's ominously as if trying to over power her?' Quietly he sat down in a near by chair, he wasn't concerned for the girl, though he might as well have called his hanyou brother and let him know that his human was attacked.

"Myoga," He said normally with an icy tone, "Is Inuyasha awake and coherent enough to talk on the phone?"

"No, he's half asleep, but I will wake him fully if you wish to speak with him." Myoga said curiously.

"Do what you wish, I do not care," Sesshomaru sighed glancing down at Kagome.

There was a loud scream a moment later followed by the threatening yelling of an angered hanyou, "Who's this? What the fuck do you want?"

"You shouldn't speak to your elders like that little brother, it's very rude." Sesshomaru spat coldly. "Besides for all you could have known, I could have been your girlfriend"

"You're a fucking sick bastard! Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha snarled.

Sesshomaru glanced quickly at Kagome as she groaned in her sleep, mumbling Inuyasha's name before drifting back into a peaceful slumber. The Inuyoukai's eyes narrowed.

"Who the hell was that!" InuYasha growled hearing his name from the phone receiver.

"That," Sesshomaru dramatically paused smirking, "Is your girlfriend Kagome Higurashi, I've gathered.."

"W-What!" Inuyasha yelled, "What! Why is she with you! You'd better not touch her you fucking bastard! I'll KILL YOU!"

"Like I would," Sesshomaru hissed, "Don't worry yourself.. I never laid a hand on her or anything else for that matter I assure you Inuyasha, but it seems that somebody else has.."

"What do you mean?" The hanyou said, his voice becoming hoarse, fear becoming present in his tone.

"She's in the hospital Inuyasha.." Sesshomaru continued, "My sources tell me that the young girl had collapsed in a heap at her friend Sango Taijyia’s house bleeding from her nose and eye duct.. They're saying it's because of a heart condition"

"A-a heart condition?" Inuyasha repeated, "But the last I saw of Kagome she was healthy.."

"Yes and that she is.." The Inuyoukai agreed.

"Can I talk to her?" The hanyou asked.

"She is not conscious and hasn't been since she arrived at Ms. Taijyia’s.." Sesshomaru told him.

"Could you put the phone to her ear? I wanna tell her something.." Inuyasha practically begged.

"You must really care for this human if you're begging me." Sesshomaru almost laughed, "How pathetic."

"I do," The Inu hanyou replied in a hushed whisper, "Please Sesshomaru put the phone to her ear.."

Sighing heavily, Sesshomaru climbed to his feet and reluctantly went over to the sleeping girl, and gently placed the phone on her ear, holding it in place so that she could hear. He too listened carefully to what his half breed little brother was going to say.

"Kagome." Inuyasha started, "Please wake up soon. I'm worried for you. I'm sorry that I haven't called you like I promised the night Koga took you back to Tokyo. Many things have been going on and none of it's good. So don't worry about me, I'm doing fine for right now.. Watch over Sango and the lech for me and don't let that wimpy wolf or anyone else for that matter lay a hand on you.'

"Soon I'll come back to Tokyo and then Kagome, then we can really be together. You deserve so much better than me, but I'm grateful that you've given me a chance to be happy again. I hope that you'll met me care for you as much as I cared for Kikyo---"

Kagome frowned slightly as she groaned, trying to roll onto her side, but being kept in place by something. Little did she know at the time that they were tubes. Sesshomaru watched silently, still listening to his brother.

"K-Kagome?" He asked, "Kagome are you there?"

The girl on the hospital bed cracked open her eyes a bit confused, her voice was hoarse and dry when she replied, "InuYasha? Is that you?"

"Yeah," He replied softly, "I'm here.."

Her eyes watered as she looked up at the figure, she could only see blurs, but his hair it was silver long, and of course silver! "I--I can't see you InuYasha my vision's blurry"

"I'm not in the hospital with you Kagome," Inuyasha said sadly, "I'm on the phone That’s my brother Sesshomaru.."

"Your brother Sesshomaru?" She asked confused and then it sunk in, "Inuyasha!" She gasped, "Are you sure I'm safe?"

"Don't flatter yourself human.." Sesshomaru growled, "I wouldn't kill you, you’re not worth my time.."

"Kagome," Inuyasha said sadly, "He's going to protect you until I can come to Tokyo and protect you myself! So don't fret, It will be okay I promise"

"I miss you Inuyasha" Kagome told him changing the subject.

"I know you do.." He replied, "I miss you too.."

"Okay, that's about enough.." Sesshomaru hissed, he needed to get back to Shiori, but he first had some questions for Kagome to answer, "Hurry up and wrap this up. I don't have all night, I'm a very busy businessman you know"

"Call me Inuyasha.." Kagome said quickly, "And please keep yourself safe."

"I will don't worry Kagome.." Inuyasha replied, "Now get some rest and regain some of your strength"

"Bye Inuyasha,"

"Bye."

Sesshomaru grunted as he placed the receiver to his ear and said a few words to Inuyasha himself before hanging up and putting the phone in his coat pocket. Placing his gaze back to the young girl, he watched as she repeatedly rubbed her eyes and blinked.

"Is your vision still blurred?" He asked a little concerned, but only a little.

"Yeah, a little.." She told him, "Could you hand me a cup of water please?"

Reluctantly he poured a small cup up partly of the hospitals water and handed it to her. He silently waited as she dumped some of the water into her free hands then splashed it onto her face, then rubbing her eyes once more. A moment of two later she glanced around before her eyes settled on him, Kagome couldn't do anything but stare at the Inuyoukai for a while before putting the cup on a small table by her bedside.

"You don't look as mean and emotionless like the last time I saw you.." She told him as a matter of fact.

Sesshomaru smirked before growing serious and pulling up a chair to Kagome's side and staring at her with a stern look, his hands clasped professionally as his left leg was crossed femininely over the right.

"Yes, we have a few things to talk about Ms. Higurashi," He told her.

"Kagome.." She corrected him.

"Anyway," He snarled slightly, " I have read over the police reports and heard the tape from your mother's murder scene.." He paused only to see her nod somewhat saddened by her reminder, "And I would like to know exactly where the disc is.."

Her eyes shot up to his cold stare, frightened wide with shock. Her mother had told her never to give it to anyone, to keep it safe, but Sesshomaru was Inuyasha's older brother, he was supposed to protect her from harm. Or was it that when he got his hands on what he wanted he would kill her.

"It was taken from me," She lied looking at her hands.

"Don't tell me such rubbish Ms. Higurashi!" Sesshomaru snarled, "If it was taken from you by the man who murdered Kimura, why did he come back for it? I'm not stupid girl! You were in my room when he attacked you, I should know"

"How?" She asked curiously.

"Because I have security camera's all around my homes for security purposes," The Inuyoukai replied, "Now tell me where's the disc!"

Kagome thought long and hard about telling Sesshomaru that the disc in which he was seeking was in fact only in the closet where her jacket probably was; in the second pocket to the right behind the zipper. That's when something big came to her mind, something important.

"Tama/Higurashi Security." She whispered mainly to herself glancing uneasily at the Inuyoukai who just raised an eyebrow curiously.

"So you've had the disc all along.." He said cautiously, "You've even managed to get the disc to open for you haven't you?"

She nodded before saying, "I saw the blue prints, and they were incomplete, and something just didn't fit right, as if tampered with, so I have been working hard on it.." She sighed heavily before continuing, "It's a strain on one's eyes with that bright green coloring.."

"….."

"I know it sounds weird and all, but it wasn't that hard really, more or less like a jigsaw puzzle. Putting pieces together until they form and make a beautiful picture.." Kagome yawned, "So. You were my mother's boss. You were the one on the phone with her when she came to pick me up from school.."

He only nodded , listening half heartedly to her constant rambling, 'Boy had she felt better fast!' He thought, 'Is this the affect that Inuyasha has on this girl? How intriguing.. Maybe I was wrong, there is such a thing as love at first sight.'
"It doesn't sound weird at all Kagome." He told her. "And yes I was your mother's boss She was a great employee, a loving woman, but she shouldn't have been slain like that.."

"Could you go get me my jacket from that closet over there please?" Kagome pointed.

"How do you know it's in there?" He asked getting up and going over to the closet despite his words.

"Call it my sixth sense." She replied as Sesshomaru pulled out the article of clothing. "Thank you Sesshomaru for letting me speak with Inuyasha I really needed it, I really needed him."

He didn't reply, Sesshomaru just watched as Kagome unzipped her jacket and casually pulled out the disk, then handing it to him.

"Now," The Inuyoukai said standing up, "Once you are well enough, my little brother has wished for you to begin on your miko training and I intend on making that happen."
