A.N. New Chapter
P.S. Sesshoumaru’s a little OOC in this chapter. I know it sucks, but it goes with what will happen in like… one scene.
“I got a memo from my manager,” he replied smoothly, “to meet with the head photographer of your magazine. They just said
to speak with Taisho.”
“What?” InuYasha asked, nobody knew about Kagome and him actually being married, and she wouldn’t change her name until she decided whether she really wanted him.
“I was told to speak with Taisho,” he replied, “you are Taisho, but I know you are not the photographer.”
“I am not,” InuYasha replied, “are you now a model?”
The man nodded, “I am. And I would please like to see your photographer, can you tell me where he is located.”
“She,” InuYasha sneered, “is indisposed at the moment. I will set you a appointment with her and you can go to her office tomorrow. That is when we have the interview.”
“That might do,” the other man replied, looking at his watch, “contact my manager then and we’ll see what we can do.”
InuYasha nodded, “Lonny will show you to the door.”
After the other man left, he instantly went to find his brother. When he did, he was more than angry.
“Sesshoumaru why did you contact Naraku’s manager for the show?” he asked, barging into his brother’s room without a introduction or even a knock. What he saw made him scream… like a girl.
“INUYASHA GET OUT!” Rin shrieked, throwing something hard and heavy at him, which hit the door just as InuYasha shut it.
“I’ll come back later then,” he said, “now… let’s go find Kagome. We have business to finish.”
When he got to their room, InuYasha couldn’t see Kagome anywhere. Maybe she’s in her ‘office’, he thought, and headed to the room Kagome vacated when she moved into InuYasha’s. I knew it, he groaned to himself, she’s at the computer. Working… again.
“Kagome,” he called, moving to the space behind her desk chair to see what she was working on, “what are you doing now?”
She looked up at him, confused at who he was a moment before smiling, “it’s a picture of you, Miroku, Sango and I in high school. We weren’t even close, in any way, and yet here it is. I found it in a album and decided to scan it and play with it a bit.
See,” when she pulled up another picture, it was just him and her. She pulled Sango and Miroku out of the shot and moved them closer to each other, mainly because of the way they were originally standing, with his arm around Miroku’s shoulder and her arm around Sango’s waist it was easy to put it so he was holding her instead.
“That’s awesome,” he said with a smile, “I love it. Can I have a copy?”
Kagome laughed, “of course.”
As she turned on a light to find the printer and paper, InuYasha noticed she washed all of her makeup off, leaving her skin clean and… it scared him. She had dark circles under here eyes that accentuated large bags, and she looked very tired.
“Why didn’t you tell me you haven’t been sleeping?” he asked angrily, “are you having those nightmares again?”
Kagome looked confused, “what are you talking about?”
“You look exhausted Kagome,” he ground out, then looked concerned, kneeling down in front of her, “what is it? You can tell me you know.”
“I know,” she said with a sigh, “but it’s nothing. I just wake up in the night, and well… I don’t go back to sleep for a while afterwards.”
He nodded, “why don’t you tell me these things? I can try to help you.”
Kagome smiled, “it’s nothing. C’mon, the picture is done.”
InuYasha nodded, and stood, bringing her with him. When he started towards the door, he heard a sigh before she collapsed against him. When InuYasha turned around to catch her, he realized she passed out.
“Shit,” he groaned, scooping her up in his arms, “SESSHOUMARU! I’M TAKING KAGOME TO THE HOSPITAL, BRING RIN WHEN YOU GUYS ARE READY.”
When Sesshoumaru and Rin arrived at the hospital, InuYasha was surprised to see then so soon.
“Where is she?” Rin asked, she looked frightened.
“The doctors are doing tests,” InuYasha said, leaning his face into his palms, “you know don’t you Rin? Why she collapsed like that.”
“Yeah,” she admitted, “I don’t know how you’re going to take this. But you need to know.”
“How often has this happened?” he asked, looking her in the eye. The seriousness and the fear she saw in his eyes made Rin tell him.
“Twice,” she said, but put a hand over his mouth when he tried to speak, “shut up first. When you guys were in high school, she was getting her bachelors in photo. And well… with finals and working on a portfolio, Kagome didn’t have time to take care of herself. She hadn’t eaten in weeks, and she hadn’t slept in almost that much time either. It almost killed her that time. The second was in college, she was playing around to redo her portfolio for a internship she had in the states, I’m not sure what it was because I knew she was good then. Kouga was obsessing about her being too skinny so he made her eat when he was around, which was always. So I guess she was tired. And now… it’s probably work, Sesshoumaru told me how you guys have to almost carry her out of the office.”
InuYasha stared for a minute, then jumped up when the doctor came out of the room Kagome was being held in.
“Are you her family?” he asked, Rin nodded, “I’m sorry but I can only allow one at a time. She’s not very conscious. But she
keeps asking for her dog.”
Rin laughed, InuYasha scowled, “that’d be me. I’m her fiancé.”
The doctor frowned a bit, “we normally only allow blood kin and married family members in. But you can go, she’s been saying dog since you brought her. I guess your name has more than one part because she could only say ‘inu’.”
InuYasha nodded and thanked the doctor before entering the room. He could hear the man explaining to Rin what was up, but he was more focused on Kagome at the moment. And seeing her in person.
“Kagome,” he called quietly, entering the room and shutting the door.
“Inu-” she couldn’t finish, she smiled a bit before, “yasha. You-you came?”
“I brought you here you idiot,” he joked, taking the seat next to her bed and resting his head on her thigh, “why didn’t I see this? You were working overtime, I haven’t seen you eat a real thing in days, and now your in a hospital.”
“Inu-ya-sha,” she sputtered, “it’s… it’s not your fault. I just couldn’t stop. I-I’m sorry.”
“Don’t apologize,” he growled, sitting up quickly, “I should have realized all of this was going on. Instead I was busy with work myself that I didn’t realize how sick you were getting. It’s my fault.”
“No it-it’s not your fault,” she whispered, her eyes drooping a bit then she sneezed, “I never told you I overwork because I don’t see it as overworking. It’ll happen again I can guarantee it will.”
“I wont let it,” he said harshly, “your mine. I will protect you from everything, including yourself.”
Kagome laughed, “you can’t protect me from it all. I have to make mistakes, and if overworking myself to make those mistakes is one of them then I will do it gladly.”
He scoffed, “scoot over.”
She did as told and moved over for InuYasha to lay down next to her, he took her hand and placed it against his heart, “do you feel that Kagome? I want you to.”
She nodded, “what is this about?”
“You,” he said, “I’m going to make you this. As long as my heart is beating, it’ll show that I’m going to take care of you. And if you don’t want me to then too bad.”
Kagome laughed, before snuggling into his side, “thank you. I’m glad I have you then.”
InuYasha smiled to himself, wrapping his arms around her tightly, “I am too.”
Eavesdroppers Rin and Sesshoumaru
“Now that is so cute,” she whispered to her boyfriend before pulling out her camera phone and taking a picture, “now… to send it to Sango… wait she doesn’t know about Kagome being a work-a-holic.”
Sesshoumaru smiled at Rin, “don’t let them see you taking pictures of them. It’s apparently illegal. One of the photo interns working under Kagome tried sneaking a picture of her and InuYasha kissing in her office last week and he was demoted from being her ‘personal assistant’ to being errand boy. For stupid stuff, but since he’s underage she cant kill him other words she would. You on the other hand my love, are her kin so it makes it okay in her eyes to harm you.”
Rin laughed, “your right. But she wont find out will she?”
Sesshoumaru grinned a bit and led Rin away, “they’ll let her out tomorrow. InuYasha will stay here until that time comes, so lets go home. Its getting late and I’m hungry.”
“We ate dinner just a while ago,” she said, looking up at the very tall man.
“I never said I wanted food,” he said with a smirk. Rin giggled and raced towards the car.
“Good work Miso,” the boss said, looking over the photo’s of Kagome in the hospital, as well as photo’s of her and InuYasha parked outside a baby clothing store. (a.n. no they didn’t go in it, just parks outside it.) “so ms. Higurashi is a workaholic then. We’ll start a extra little column to come out by the next issue. Headliner: Kagome Higurashi: Workaholic? and Mother? Doesn’t make a pretty tinkle sound… but it’ll get a lot of readers.”
“So it’ll work then?” Miso asked, “I heard her sister talking to Taisho about it. I have enough information to write the whole column already.”
“Great,” boss replied, “how’s it coming along with the other story your putting on them?”
“Almost done boss,” the smaller man replied, “I think just to get some information on the show, I believe you did your part today?”
The boss nodded, “I have a interview with Mrs. Taisho tomorrow to be exact. It shouldn’t be hard to get into the show, they have five clothing lines coming in, along with a extra ‘shoot’ at the end. She’ll probably hire the first 50 men she interviews.”
Miso nodded, “what if it’s InuYasha who does the men’s interview?”
“I don’t know,” the boss replied, “I’ll think of it when the time comes.”
Miso nodded before leaving the office. He hoped whatever information he had been given before, from that mysterious person would be true. He still wasn’t sure who they were and didn’t want any of it to get out before he had a chance to print it first.
When InuYasha woke up the next morning, he wasn’t aware that he was in the hospital, but he was aware of the weight that was currently settled in his lap. He didn’t think anything of it because he was used to waking up with Kagome still asleep half on top of him, but what got his attention was the warm, wet feeling he had on his neck, followed by a set of teeth.
“HEY!” he exclaimed, but softened when Kagome started laughing silently, “I’m guessing you feel a little better then.”
She nodded, kissing his neck again, then his cheek and finally kissing him long and deeply on the lips, “I’ve been trying to wake you up for almost a hour now. I succeeded in getting some of you awake, but the rest took some time.”
InuYasha looked down at what she was talking about, and would have blushed if she hadn’t started kissing his neck again, this time leading a trail down to his chest with her tongue. He was a little stunned by how forward she was acting, but enjoyed it none the less.
“Guess what,” Kagome whispered to him as she pulled his pants off as far as they would go, he was still lying on the bed.
“What?” he asked, kissing her when she was back to level with him.
Kagome laughed when InuYasha pushed her hospital gown up to her hips, revealing that she was wearing nothing underneath;
“I’m going to fuck you right here,” she whispered with a grin, kissing him deeply. InuYasha smirked a bit as he fumbled to get the ties on the back of the gown undone, but Kagome helped him. It would seem that InuYasha and knots do not get along well.
“Kagome,” he asked, he wanted to make sure she was actually ready for this, “are you sure you want to do this? I mean here? We’re in a hospital, and your still sick.”
“But I’m not,” she said with a seductive smile, gently gripping his engorged member. Slowly impailing herself down over him.
“God Kagome,” he whimpered as she pulled open her hospital gown, giving him further access to the rest of her as she continued moving over him, pumping herself as she rolled her hips back and forth.
“MMM InuYasha,” she groaned as he began thrusting himself upwards to meet her, all the while intensifying the sensations they were both experiencing, neither of them realizing Kagome’s heart monitor was sending off signals that were off the charts.
“Ka-Kagome,” he grunted as Kagome started kissing his shoulder.
“I don’t think…” Kagome started, but they both knew it wouldn’t last much longer as they both came together, a combination of shocks and doctors.
“MISS HIGURASHI!” the doctor exclaimed as his crew burst in with a difibulator charged and ready to go; making her squeak in surprise and InuYasha ‘growl’ with hatred, “I AM SO SORRY! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? THIS IS A HOSPITAL!”
Kagome blushed but quickly pulled her hospital gown up, but didn’t remove herself from InuYasha.
“I will leave you,” the doctor said, “you can check out today miss Higurashi. Mr. Taisho, can I have a moment?”
InuYasha nodded and waited for the doctor to exit the room before letting Kagome up, “are you okay? Did they see anything? I mean yeah they saw something, but on you? Did he see anything on you?”
“It’s okay,” Kagome said with a giggle, “I was plastered to your chest. If anything they saw the outline of my butt. You go see what the doctor wanted. Call the nurse in to unhook me from this machine too.”
InuYasha nodded and left the room, a smirk on his face, I think… I wonder if the stress is to much for her to get
pregnant?
“What’s up doc?” InuYasha asked, not trying to hide the grin that was plastered on his face.
“Well Mr. Taisho,” the doctor started, “I need you to fill some paperwork out, and I need to ask you some questions about Miss Higurashi’s health history.”
“I thought Rin told you everything?” InuYasha asked, “I mean… Kagome’s my fiancé, but she doesn’t talk about something unless it’s forced.”
“It’s not that,” the doctor said, “we found some issues on the x-rays we took last night. It would seem that there is some scar tissue surrounding her uterus. Now hold on son, I’m not accusing you, but was she in a relationship that proved to be violent in the past?”
“Yeah,” InuYasha said, looking toward Kagome’s room, “her ex used to beat her when she wouldn’t do stuff with him. She never told me the whole story, but her best friend showed me the pictures she took of Kagome’s body. They were going to call the police on him, but he sweet talked her out of it.”
“Do you and Miss Higurashi plan on children?” the doctor asked, his face much softer than it had been.
InuYasha nodded, “we were talking about a baby. I’m ready for one, so is Kagome. But we really haven’t talked about having one. She’s still on the pill.”
The doctor nodded again, he felt sorry for the young couple, “I am sorry Mr. Taisho, but you need to know. Because of all the bruising in Miss Higurashi’s abdomen, her chances of having a child are very low…”
“How low?” InuYasha asked, trying to keep his temper in check.
“About 15,” the older man said, “I am truly sorry. I really hope you two can beat all odd’s on this.”
InuYasha nodded and watched the doctor leave, and frowned when Kagome came out of her room, a huge smile on her face.
“What’s wrong?” she asked, her smile fading at the sight of her ‘fiancés’ face.
“Come here,” he said, opening his arms for a hug, which she gave him, “Kagome I’m so sorry.” He didn’t want to let her go, he just wanted to hold her in his arms for the rest of the day; but that was disrupted when he heard the one person’s voice that made his blood boil.
“KAGOME ARE YOU OKAY!” Kouga shouted, running into the lobby.
“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?” InuYasha yelled at him.
Kouga looked at him a moment then turned to Kagome, “I heard you passed out again. I told you not to overwork yourself.”
InuYasha tried not to growl like a animal when Kouga placed a hand on Kagome’s cheek, but when he remembered what the doctor told him he snapped.
bang-thud
“KOUGA!” Kagome cried when he hit the ground. InuYasha had grabbed him by the shoulder and punched him square in the
jaw. “INUYASHA! WHAT’D YOU DO THAT FOR?”
“That bastard,” InuYasha ground out, “fixed you up pretty good when you were together huh? Hitting you when you wouldn’t do stuff, hitting you when he was drunk and wouldn’t sleep with him. And always, it was punching you in the abdomen. That fucker fixed it so that you might not be able to have children Kagome.”
Kagome gasped, “he… what?”
InuYasha nodded, and grabbed Kagome by the hand and practically dragged her from the hospital. He didn’t say a word as he helped her get in the car, and neither of them spoke as they drove home.
20 minutes later
“Kagome,” InuYasha started when they entered the house, she wasn’t paying attention, instead she was reading a note left on the foyer table.
InuYasha,
I have taken Rin with me and we will conduct the interviews for the models. She knows what to do, being as she is a fashion major currently, just take care of Kagome and tell her not to worry about a thing until the show when I’ll need her the most. Miyouga has gone, his son’s wife is having their first child and he found it fit that he should be there to see his first grandchild. Rin and I will be back late, I have business to attend after the interview and Rin is going to be speaking with the head of the internship program. Do not worry about a thing, just make sure Kagome get’s better.
-Sesshoumaru
“That was nice of him,” Kagome said, “damn today was the interview. Well I hope they know what they’re doing. I guess… I don’t know.”
InuYasha sighed, he wasn’t sure how she was taking things, and he hoped she’d be okay with everything that went on in the hospital. But his fears were reassured when Kagome walked over to him and hugged him tightly.
“I’m going to take a bath,” she whispered, “care to join me?”
InuYasha frowned a bit, then realized that she was serious, and he grinned. Kagome giggled as InuYasha grabbed her playfully by the waist, and started leading her, backwards, up the stairs to the bathroom.
“Now I need you all to hurry and get out into the interview room,” Rin called to the male models, blushing furiously that they were all in bathing suits, had great bodies, and were all trying to hit on her at the same time, “you will simply stand for us in a line then we will take individual Polaroid’s. We’ll get back to you in one day’s time and let you know about the show.”
All the models nodded and grumbled a bit when Rin left the room, still blushing, and sat down with Sesshoumaru.
“So…” he started, looking at he roster, “we will be looking at 25 male models, and 25 female. It should take about 1 hour for the entire thing, then you have your meeting and I have my own.”
“What are you going to do?” she asked, “I mean can they do that kind of stuff? I thought reporters weren’t allowed in
hospitals.”
“They are not,” Sesshoumaru said, “and how this one was able to talk to Kagome’s attending is surprising. But the man found out everything; how sick she was, how she could’ve died if it got worse. And the most terrible thing was that he actually printed that Kagome might not be able to bear a child. How did he know about her ex beating her though?”
Rin shook her head, “I don’t know. We’ll figure it out in a while, the show’s about to start.”
“Don’t sound so enthused,” Sesshoumaru grumbled as the men filed out.
After all the men had been looked over, Rin shot 2 Polaroids of each, one of just their faces, and one of their whole bodies. It wasn’t until the last one that Sesshoumaru decided to intervene.
“You must leave,” he said angrily.
“But for what reason?” the man asked, his voice oily, a grin plastered on his face.
“You are of a tabloid,” Sesshoumaru accused, “the chief editor if I am to be exact. The same tabloid that printed a story of my families issues for years has now gone to the extreme and made it worse. Leave here or I will remove you myself.”
The man grinned wider, “I will go. But it will not keep me from printing about your family Taisho. Tell your sister-in-law I am much sorry for her illness and hope she get’s better. Good day.”
Sesshoumaru let out a noise that sounded like a growl and went to sit with Rin as the female models were assembling.
Once all the work was done, Sesshoumaru and Rin went to their separate meetings and decided to meet out front and go to a late dinner. They figured InuYasha and Kagome would like some alone time to figure out what they were going to do so they’d leave them alone for a while.
“I spoke with the owner of Naraku’s magazine,” Sesshoumaru told Rin as they were seated at their tables, “and he apologized for the article that was printed. But since it was a true article they cannot do a revise and tell publicly that any of it was a lie. He offered a condolence pay to me of 25,000, but refused to fire Naraku. After the show I intend to take them to court, I also got wind of another article they are planning on releasing about InuYasha, Kagome and her abusive ex boyfriend Kouga.”
Rin nodded, “and that last model; he was Naraku I’m guessing?”
Sesshoumaru nodded, “he took up modeling as a side because the magazine wasn’t paying him what he wanted as editor and chief. I think he was going to use this show as a way to get into some of how we work for the other article. I am going to have InuYasha keep Kagome home as much as she can, and only bring her into the office when we have shoots for articles and when there are meetings. Until all of this blows over.”
Rin nodded and smiled, “your such a good man Sesshy.”
He smiled a bit and took her hand, “I’m glad you think so. I just hope all of this is for nothing.”
A.N. Review
P.S. Sesshoumaru’s a little OOC in this chapter. I know it sucks, but it goes with what will happen in like… one scene.
--Chapter 11: The Model--
“Why are you here?” InuYasha asked the man.“I got a memo from my manager,” he replied smoothly, “to meet with the head photographer of your magazine. They just said
to speak with Taisho.”
“What?” InuYasha asked, nobody knew about Kagome and him actually being married, and she wouldn’t change her name until she decided whether she really wanted him.
“I was told to speak with Taisho,” he replied, “you are Taisho, but I know you are not the photographer.”
“I am not,” InuYasha replied, “are you now a model?”
The man nodded, “I am. And I would please like to see your photographer, can you tell me where he is located.”
“She,” InuYasha sneered, “is indisposed at the moment. I will set you a appointment with her and you can go to her office tomorrow. That is when we have the interview.”
“That might do,” the other man replied, looking at his watch, “contact my manager then and we’ll see what we can do.”
InuYasha nodded, “Lonny will show you to the door.”
After the other man left, he instantly went to find his brother. When he did, he was more than angry.
“Sesshoumaru why did you contact Naraku’s manager for the show?” he asked, barging into his brother’s room without a introduction or even a knock. What he saw made him scream… like a girl.
“INUYASHA GET OUT!” Rin shrieked, throwing something hard and heavy at him, which hit the door just as InuYasha shut it.
“I’ll come back later then,” he said, “now… let’s go find Kagome. We have business to finish.”
When he got to their room, InuYasha couldn’t see Kagome anywhere. Maybe she’s in her ‘office’, he thought, and headed to the room Kagome vacated when she moved into InuYasha’s. I knew it, he groaned to himself, she’s at the computer. Working… again.
“Kagome,” he called, moving to the space behind her desk chair to see what she was working on, “what are you doing now?”
She looked up at him, confused at who he was a moment before smiling, “it’s a picture of you, Miroku, Sango and I in high school. We weren’t even close, in any way, and yet here it is. I found it in a album and decided to scan it and play with it a bit.
See,” when she pulled up another picture, it was just him and her. She pulled Sango and Miroku out of the shot and moved them closer to each other, mainly because of the way they were originally standing, with his arm around Miroku’s shoulder and her arm around Sango’s waist it was easy to put it so he was holding her instead.
“That’s awesome,” he said with a smile, “I love it. Can I have a copy?”
Kagome laughed, “of course.”
As she turned on a light to find the printer and paper, InuYasha noticed she washed all of her makeup off, leaving her skin clean and… it scared him. She had dark circles under here eyes that accentuated large bags, and she looked very tired.
“Why didn’t you tell me you haven’t been sleeping?” he asked angrily, “are you having those nightmares again?”

He nodded, “why don’t you tell me these things? I can try to help you.”
Kagome smiled, “it’s nothing. C’mon, the picture is done.”
InuYasha nodded, and stood, bringing her with him. When he started towards the door, he heard a sigh before she collapsed against him. When InuYasha turned around to catch her, he realized she passed out.
“Shit,” he groaned, scooping her up in his arms, “SESSHOUMARU! I’M TAKING KAGOME TO THE HOSPITAL, BRING RIN WHEN YOU GUYS ARE READY.”

at the hospital< br>
When Sesshoumaru and Rin arrived at the hospital, InuYasha was surprised to see then so soon.
“Where is she?” Rin asked, she looked frightened.
“The doctors are doing tests,” InuYasha said, leaning his face into his palms, “you know don’t you Rin? Why she collapsed like that.”
“Yeah,” she admitted, “I don’t know how you’re going to take this. But you need to know.”
“How often has this happened?” he asked, looking her in the eye. The seriousness and the fear she saw in his eyes made Rin tell him.

“Don’t apologize,” he growled, sitting up quickly, “I should have realized all of this was going on. Instead I was busy with work myself that I didn’t realize how sick you were getting. It’s my fault.”
“No it-it’s not your fault,” she whispered, her eyes drooping a bit then she sneezed, “I never told you I overwork because I don’t see it as overworking. It’ll happen again I can guarantee it will.”
“I wont let it,” he said harshly, “your mine. I will protect you from everything, including yourself.”
Kagome laughed, “you can’t protect me from it all. I have to make mistakes, and if overworking myself to make those mistakes is one of them then I will do it gladly.”
He scoffed, “scoot over.”
She did as told and moved over for InuYasha to lay down next to her, he took her hand and placed it against his heart, “do you feel that Kagome? I want you to.”
She nodded, “what is this about?”
“You,” he said, “I’m going to make you this. As long as my heart is beating, it’ll show that I’m going to take care of you. And if you don’t want me to then too bad.”
Kagome laughed, before snuggling into his side, “thank you. I’m glad I have you then.”
InuYasha smiled to himself, wrapping his arms around her tightly, “I am too.”

Sesshoumaru grinned a bit and led Rin away, “they’ll let her out tomorrow. InuYasha will stay here until that time comes, so lets go home. Its getting late and I’m hungry.”
“We ate dinner just a while ago,” she said, looking up at the very tall man.
“I never said I wanted food,” he said with a smirk. Rin giggled and raced towards the car.

Miso and Bossu>
“Good work Miso,” the boss said, looking over the photo’s of Kagome in the hospital, as well as photo’s of her and InuYasha parked outside a baby clothing store. (a.n. no they didn’t go in it, just parks outside it.) “so ms. Higurashi is a workaholic then. We’ll start a extra little column to come out by the next issue. Headliner: Kagome Higurashi: Workaholic? and Mother? Doesn’t make a pretty tinkle sound… but it’ll get a lot of readers.”
“So it’ll work then?” Miso asked, “I heard her sister talking to Taisho about it. I have enough information to write the whole column already.”
“Great,” boss replied, “how’s it coming along with the other story your putting on them?”
“Almost done boss,” the smaller man replied, “I think just to get some information on the show, I believe you did your part today?”
The boss nodded, “I have a interview with Mrs. Taisho tomorrow to be exact. It shouldn’t be hard to get into the show, they have five clothing lines coming in, along with a extra ‘shoot’ at the end. She’ll probably hire the first 50 men she interviews.”
Miso nodded, “what if it’s InuYasha who does the men’s interview?”
“I don’t know,” the boss replied, “I’ll think of it when the time comes.”
Miso nodded before leaving the office. He hoped whatever information he had been given before, from that mysterious person would be true. He still wasn’t sure who they were and didn’t want any of it to get out before he had a chance to print it first.

The Next MorningWhen InuYasha woke up the next morning, he wasn’t aware that he was in the hospital, but he was aware of the weight that was currently settled in his lap. He didn’t think anything of it because he was used to waking up with Kagome still asleep half on top of him, but what got his attention was the warm, wet feeling he had on his neck, followed by a set of teeth.
“HEY!” he exclaimed, but softened when Kagome started laughing silently, “I’m guessing you feel a little better then.”
She nodded, kissing his neck again, then his cheek and finally kissing him long and deeply on the lips, “I’ve been trying to wake you up for almost a hour now. I succeeded in getting some of you awake, but the rest took some time.”
InuYasha looked down at what she was talking about, and would have blushed if she hadn’t started kissing his neck again, this time leading a trail down to his chest with her tongue. He was a little stunned by how forward she was acting, but enjoyed it none the less.
“Guess what,” Kagome whispered to him as she pulled his pants off as far as they would go, he was still lying on the bed.
“What?” he asked, kissing her when she was back to level with him.
Kagome laughed when InuYasha pushed her hospital gown up to her hips, revealing that she was wearing nothing underneath;
“I’m going to fuck you right here,” she whispered with a grin, kissing him deeply. InuYasha smirked a bit as he fumbled to get the ties on the back of the gown undone, but Kagome helped him. It would seem that InuYasha and knots do not get along well.
“Kagome,” he asked, he wanted to make sure she was actually ready for this, “are you sure you want to do this? I mean here? We’re in a hospital, and your still sick.”
“But I’m not,” she said with a seductive smile, gently gripping his engorged member. Slowly impailing herself down over him.
“God Kagome,” he whimpered as she pulled open her hospital gown, giving him further access to the rest of her as she continued moving over him, pumping herself as she rolled her hips back and forth.
“MMM InuYasha,” she groaned as he began thrusting himself upwards to meet her, all the while intensifying the sensations they were both experiencing, neither of them realizing Kagome’s heart monitor was sending off signals that were off the charts.
“Ka-Kagome,” he grunted as Kagome started kissing his shoulder.
“I don’t think…” Kagome started, but they both knew it wouldn’t last much longer as they both came together, a combination of shocks and doctors.
“MISS HIGURASHI!” the doctor exclaimed as his crew burst in with a difibulator charged and ready to go; making her squeak in surprise and InuYasha ‘growl’ with hatred, “I AM SO SORRY! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? THIS IS A HOSPITAL!”
Kagome blushed but quickly pulled her hospital gown up, but didn’t remove herself from InuYasha.
“I will leave you,” the doctor said, “you can check out today miss Higurashi. Mr. Taisho, can I have a moment?”
InuYasha nodded and waited for the doctor to exit the room before letting Kagome up, “are you okay? Did they see anything? I mean yeah they saw something, but on you? Did he see anything on you?”
“It’s okay,” Kagome said with a giggle, “I was plastered to your chest. If anything they saw the outline of my butt. You go see what the doctor wanted. Call the nurse in to unhook me from this machine too.”
InuYasha nodded and left the room, a smirk on his face, I think… I wonder if the stress is to much for her to get
pregnant?
“What’s up doc?” InuYasha asked, not trying to hide the grin that was plastered on his face.
“Well Mr. Taisho,” the doctor started, “I need you to fill some paperwork out, and I need to ask you some questions about Miss Higurashi’s health history.”
“I thought Rin told you everything?” InuYasha asked, “I mean… Kagome’s my fiancé, but she doesn’t talk about something unless it’s forced.”
“It’s not that,” the doctor said, “we found some issues on the x-rays we took last night. It would seem that there is some scar tissue surrounding her uterus. Now hold on son, I’m not accusing you, but was she in a relationship that proved to be violent in the past?”
“Yeah,” InuYasha said, looking toward Kagome’s room, “her ex used to beat her when she wouldn’t do stuff with him. She never told me the whole story, but her best friend showed me the pictures she took of Kagome’s body. They were going to call the police on him, but he sweet talked her out of it.”
“Do you and Miss Higurashi plan on children?” the doctor asked, his face much softer than it had been.
InuYasha nodded, “we were talking about a baby. I’m ready for one, so is Kagome. But we really haven’t talked about having one. She’s still on the pill.”
The doctor nodded again, he felt sorry for the young couple, “I am sorry Mr. Taisho, but you need to know. Because of all the bruising in Miss Higurashi’s abdomen, her chances of having a child are very low…”
“How low?” InuYasha asked, trying to keep his temper in check.
“About 15,” the older man said, “I am truly sorry. I really hope you two can beat all odd’s on this.”
InuYasha nodded and watched the doctor leave, and frowned when Kagome came out of her room, a huge smile on her face.
“What’s wrong?” she asked, her smile fading at the sight of her ‘fiancés’ face.
“Come here,” he said, opening his arms for a hug, which she gave him, “Kagome I’m so sorry.” He didn’t want to let her go, he just wanted to hold her in his arms for the rest of the day; but that was disrupted when he heard the one person’s voice that made his blood boil.
“KAGOME ARE YOU OKAY!” Kouga shouted, running into the lobby.
“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?” InuYasha yelled at him.
Kouga looked at him a moment then turned to Kagome, “I heard you passed out again. I told you not to overwork yourself.”
InuYasha tried not to growl like a animal when Kouga placed a hand on Kagome’s cheek, but when he remembered what the doctor told him he snapped.
bang-thud
“KOUGA!” Kagome cried when he hit the ground. InuYasha had grabbed him by the shoulder and punched him square in the
jaw. “INUYASHA! WHAT’D YOU DO THAT FOR?”
“That bastard,” InuYasha ground out, “fixed you up pretty good when you were together huh? Hitting you when you wouldn’t do stuff, hitting you when he was drunk and wouldn’t sleep with him. And always, it was punching you in the abdomen. That fucker fixed it so that you might not be able to have children Kagome.”
Kagome gasped, “he… what?”
InuYasha nodded, and grabbed Kagome by the hand and practically dragged her from the hospital. He didn’t say a word as he helped her get in the car, and neither of them spoke as they drove home.
20 minutes later
“Kagome,” InuYasha started when they entered the house, she wasn’t paying attention, instead she was reading a note left on the foyer table.
InuYasha,
I have taken Rin with me and we will conduct the interviews for the models. She knows what to do, being as she is a fashion major currently, just take care of Kagome and tell her not to worry about a thing until the show when I’ll need her the most. Miyouga has gone, his son’s wife is having their first child and he found it fit that he should be there to see his first grandchild. Rin and I will be back late, I have business to attend after the interview and Rin is going to be speaking with the head of the internship program. Do not worry about a thing, just make sure Kagome get’s better.
-Sesshoumaru
“That was nice of him,” Kagome said, “damn today was the interview. Well I hope they know what they’re doing. I guess… I don’t know.”
InuYasha sighed, he wasn’t sure how she was taking things, and he hoped she’d be okay with everything that went on in the hospital. But his fears were reassured when Kagome walked over to him and hugged him tightly.
“I’m going to take a bath,” she whispered, “care to join me?”
InuYasha frowned a bit, then realized that she was serious, and he grinned. Kagome giggled as InuYasha grabbed her playfully by the waist, and started leading her, backwards, up the stairs to the bathroom.

With Sesshoumaru and Rin: The Interview“Now I need you all to hurry and get out into the interview room,” Rin called to the male models, blushing furiously that they were all in bathing suits, had great bodies, and were all trying to hit on her at the same time, “you will simply stand for us in a line then we will take individual Polaroid’s. We’ll get back to you in one day’s time and let you know about the show.”
All the models nodded and grumbled a bit when Rin left the room, still blushing, and sat down with Sesshoumaru.
“So…” he started, looking at he roster, “we will be looking at 25 male models, and 25 female. It should take about 1 hour for the entire thing, then you have your meeting and I have my own.”
“What are you going to do?” she asked, “I mean can they do that kind of stuff? I thought reporters weren’t allowed in
hospitals.”
“They are not,” Sesshoumaru said, “and how this one was able to talk to Kagome’s attending is surprising. But the man found out everything; how sick she was, how she could’ve died if it got worse. And the most terrible thing was that he actually printed that Kagome might not be able to bear a child. How did he know about her ex beating her though?”
Rin shook her head, “I don’t know. We’ll figure it out in a while, the show’s about to start.”
“Don’t sound so enthused,” Sesshoumaru grumbled as the men filed out.
After all the men had been looked over, Rin shot 2 Polaroids of each, one of just their faces, and one of their whole bodies. It wasn’t until the last one that Sesshoumaru decided to intervene.
“You must leave,” he said angrily.
“But for what reason?” the man asked, his voice oily, a grin plastered on his face.
“You are of a tabloid,” Sesshoumaru accused, “the chief editor if I am to be exact. The same tabloid that printed a story of my families issues for years has now gone to the extreme and made it worse. Leave here or I will remove you myself.”
The man grinned wider, “I will go. But it will not keep me from printing about your family Taisho. Tell your sister-in-law I am much sorry for her illness and hope she get’s better. Good day.”
Sesshoumaru let out a noise that sounded like a growl and went to sit with Rin as the female models were assembling.
Once all the work was done, Sesshoumaru and Rin went to their separate meetings and decided to meet out front and go to a late dinner. They figured InuYasha and Kagome would like some alone time to figure out what they were going to do so they’d leave them alone for a while.
“I spoke with the owner of Naraku’s magazine,” Sesshoumaru told Rin as they were seated at their tables, “and he apologized for the article that was printed. But since it was a true article they cannot do a revise and tell publicly that any of it was a lie. He offered a condolence pay to me of 25,000, but refused to fire Naraku. After the show I intend to take them to court, I also got wind of another article they are planning on releasing about InuYasha, Kagome and her abusive ex boyfriend Kouga.”
Rin nodded, “and that last model; he was Naraku I’m guessing?”
Sesshoumaru nodded, “he took up modeling as a side because the magazine wasn’t paying him what he wanted as editor and chief. I think he was going to use this show as a way to get into some of how we work for the other article. I am going to have InuYasha keep Kagome home as much as she can, and only bring her into the office when we have shoots for articles and when there are meetings. Until all of this blows over.”
Rin nodded and smiled, “your such a good man Sesshy.”
He smiled a bit and took her hand, “I’m glad you think so. I just hope all of this is for nothing.”
