InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Silver Rebel ❯ Shopping and stalkers ( Chapter 12 )

See? I said I wasn't going to back in one month. Instead it was three…

But honestly, I can't come up with anything so this is going to end. Soon. And I'm debating on whether or not to just make it a fairytale ending or some really sad and depressing shit. Oh well, hopefully I will finish this…

The next few days went by in a blur for Kagome. Sesshomaru gave her another salve to put on her leg and gave her some breathing treatments while she was in the clinic. Sango and Miroku came in everyday to see how she was doing but Inu-Yasha never left her side.

Kagome was only in the clinic for about a week. She was fine after a few days but Kagome had a nasty habit to wander around while Inu-Yasha was asleep and she would help Sesshomaru treat some of the patients, the ones he would let her get close to anyway. She turned out to be very good at it, even if Inu-Yasha would wake up and take her away in the middle of her bandaging someone.

Finally it came to the day when Sesshomaru had to kick her out of her room so he could use it for another patient. "Are you sure you don't need me to help Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked.

"No. Go home and clean up. I have Rin here to help me." He said. Rin was a nurse at the clinic. Kagome had found out that Sesshomaru had found her on the side of the street barely alive and saved her. She had no where else to go and lived at the clinic. She did everything that Sesshomaru told her to the tee.

"Alright. But I will come back and help when ever Inu-Yasha bids me fit." Kagome said with a warm smile.

"I don't think he'll ever think of you ok to work here." He said keeping up his 'stone face' as Kagome called it.

Kagome laughed lightly. "I will see you at home. Good bye Sesshomaru, and thank you."

"No need to thank me Kagome. Now get home." She smiled and waved good bye to him and Rin, then walked to where Inu-Yasha was standing by his truck with the passenger side door open.

"I am going to miss having her around." Rin said quietly.

"She will come back, but if you want to see her come by the house and I will permit you to visit with her." Sesshomaru said then turned on his heal to attend to the other patients.

"Thank you Lord Sesshomaru." Rin whispered knowing full well that Sesshomaru could hear her.

The drive to Inu-Yasha's house was one without many words. Inu-Yasha had told her all about how he and Sesshomaru had grown up while she was in the clinic. She really didn't have anything to talk to him about and he didn't have anything to say to her.

Apperently Sesshomaru was the lord and owner of a good portion of land in the west that had once belonged to Sesshomaru's father. Being the eldest son, Sesshomaru inherited the lands when their father died. "Not that I want it anyway." As Inu-Yasha said.

Inu-Yasha lived with his mother for a time after his father's death until she passed. He lived on the streets until Sesshomaru found him. Inu-Yasha wouldn't talk much on what happened to him but he did say that he was somewhat happy when Sesshomaru found him. But they really didn't like each other very much.

A few years ago Sesshomaru sent him to live in Tokyo in the house they were at now. He said after a few months of bad report cards and school fights, he came to 'supervise' him. Sesshomaru found out about the street races Inu-Yasha was getting into and went to see for himself.

"He couldn't beat anyone for the life of him." Sesshomaru said and Inu-Yasha promptly threw some bread at him and missed. Sesshomaru taught Inu-Yasha how to race properly but he still couldn't beat him(Inu-Yasha threw another piece of bread at him).

At the risk of sounding cliché, the rest was history. Sango and Miroku came to live with them soon after and Sesshomaru quit racing to start the clinic. They each paid a portion of rent even though Sesshomaru had enough money to rent out ten of those houses and live in them comfortably for the rest of his demon life.

Speaking of demons, once Kagome had a good night's sleep with Inu-Yasha and worked with the demon patients, she found that not all demons are bad. Some are, but not all. They also had fairly long lives. Inu-Yasha said he wasn't sure how old Sesshomaru was but his knew he was about sixty even though he only looked seventeen. That bit of news shocked Kagome but Sango soon distracted her with the promise to go shopping once Kagome was out of the clinic.

Little did Kagome know that when Sango meant right out of the clinic, she meant when Kagome got home. She hadn't even opened the door before Sango pulled Inu-Yasha out of the driver's seat and jumped in.

"Hey Kagome, ready to go shopping?" She said breathlessly as she shut her door.

"Right now?" Kagome asked.

"Sure why not?" Sango said smiling and turned the key.

"Because she just got out of the clinic and she is supposed to be resting her leg." Inu-Yasha said from the ground.

"Pffft, she'll be resting. Now come on, what do you say Kagome?" She turned grinning at the girl.

"Yeah. Except I don't have any money." Kagome replied.

"Don't worry about that. Bye Inu-Yasha!" She said and put the truck in reverse, almost running over Inu-Yasha's legs.

"Damn it Sango! Be more careful!" She smiled and waved before speeding off down the road.

The mall was packed with people. Sango got one of those fold-up wheelchairs and made Kagome get in it. "Inu-Yasha would never forgive me if I made you walk everywhere."

Reluctantly Kagome sat down and let Sango push her from store to store. It was a good thing that Kagome knew her size or this trip would have been hard.

"How do you like this one?" Sango held up a red t-shirt with billabong on it with a blue diamond behind it and white stars.

"Don't you think a small is a little tight?" Kagome asked.

"It'll look good on you though."

Kagome smiled and let Sango put it into her lap. Kagome looked at all the clothes Sango had helped her pick out and noticed a theme. "Hey Sango?"

"Hm?"

"Why are most of these clothes red?"

Sango turned her attention from the rack to the pile sitting on Kagome and she furrowed her brow. "They are all red aren't they? Do you not like red?" She asked

"No, I like it. It's one of my favorite colors. I just wondered why they were all like that."

Sango's frown turned into a smile. "You know, it might be because Inu-Yasha's favorite color is red and I'm so used to shopping for him. Do you want me to put some back and get a different color?" She asked reaching for a tee.

"No!" Kagome said rather loudly. "I mean, it's ok. Let's just look for other kind of stuff!"

Sango nodded and let out a huge grin when she turned to look back at the clothes. After they had gathered their fill, Sango pushed Kagome to the register.

"Sango," Kagome whispered. "How are we going to pay for all of this?"

"It's ok. Sesshomaru said he'd take care of it because of all the hard work you did for him the past couple of days."

"But I barely did anything!"

"I know. Just take this. Sesshomaru doesn't give handouts everyday ya' know. I think he kind of likes you."

Kagome made a mental note to thank him later. Next they went and got bed linens.

"Well, since we're going with the 'red theme', how about red sheets and a black comforter?"

Kagome laughed. "Bit devilish don't you think?"

Sango looked at her choices and giggled too. "Yeah I guess you're right." They finally decided on silver sheets and a black comforter with red lining. "Kind of like a Silver Rebel and Red mix." There was a pregnant pause before the two girls burst into giggles.

After had their full Sango wheeled Kagome to the front of the store and was just passing all of the formal wear when Kagome gasped.

"What? What is it?" Sango asked worriedly, thinking she had hurt her. Kagome was a lost for words so she pointed. When Sango saw what Kagome gasped at, she was fairly relieved and grinned deviously. They bought one more thing before Sango helped Kagome out of her wheelchair and to the truck.

~%*%~

"What did you do, buy the whole store?" Miroku asked when they walked in the door struggling with the packages. Inu-Yasha instantly jumped up off the couch and grabbed the bags from Kagome's hands.

"Very funny Miroku." Said Sango. "Why don't be a gentleman and help me like Inu-Yasha?"

Miroku blinked and sat still for a moment. Then when Sango realized what she had said put the bags on the floor and stood straight.

"Did I just call Inu-Yasha a gentleman?" She asked with an astonished look on her face.

"I think you did."

"Wow. Never thought that would happen." She said and gathered the bags up again.

"Hey! I can be a gentleman. Oi! Miroku, get your ass over here and help. We gotta take all this stuff up to Sango's room." Inu-Yasha said getting Kagome's things and walk up the stairs.

"Never mind." Sango said.

"I heard that!" Inu-Yasha said from the top of the stairs. They laughed and Miroku got some of Sango's bags and both followed Inu-Yasha up the stairs. Kagome, still smiling turned to get the rest of the things from the truck and stopped dead, her smile fading, when she saw someone out near the truck.

Hojo smiled coldly at her and gave a little wave before her pulled something out of his pocket and flicked it. A small flame shot from the lighter and Hojo's smile widened.

"Kagome?" Inu-Yasha said from the bottom of the staircase. She quickly spun around and stared at him. "Are you alright?" He asked.

It took a second before Kagome looked back outside, only to find Hojo was gone.

"Kagome?" Inu-Yasha asked again.

"I'm fine. There was a dog outside that just surprised me a bit." She lied. "But it's gone now." Inu-Yasha walked to the door and looked out. "Help me get the rest of the bags?" She asked cheerfully, seemingly over what ever had frightened her.

Inu-Yasha nodded and walked with her out to the bed of the truck. That's where a male scent hit his nose, along with the scent of burning fuel. He looked over at Kagome and she seemed fine. The scent made Inu-Yasha nervous but he shrugged it off and got the bags and followed Kagome to the house.

You know, The Punisher doesn't look like a good movie, but the soundtrack looks like a great collaboration of music. But if you are looking for a good movie with two hot Irishmen, lots of killing and the 'F' word(they say it like 500 times), then The Boondock Saints is a good movie. It's got this weird complex about it and makes you wonder about the motives of these two hot, hot, hot men. I wasn't very turned on to the Irish accent but, woah. It's kind of old so you probably would better looking in your public library. See you later!
