She had been lying there on the hospital bed with her eyes closed for at least an hour now. Not to long ago she had checked the round wall-hanging clock to see it was 4:14 a.m.
`I wonder if I should go to school today, its Thursday according to that wall calendar … yup time to get up. You've been working on your body for about half an hour. I think I can move now,' She spoke inside her head.
Slowly but surely Kagome removed all needles, i.v. Shit, and medicine, braced the side of the bed, and pulled herself upright. She moved one leg off the side of the white un-made hospital bed onto the cold white tile floor, and then the other leg. She yawned really loud and SLOWLY stood up. Kagome began her easy stretches to start out on the larger movements. About 10 minutes later she could walk and do a slow jog. Walking over to a bag Rin left behind the day she brought her in, Kagome grabbed the bag walked into the bathroom. She stripped her clothes off and went in the walk-in shower built into the wall. About 15 minutes later she got out and put on a plain black t-shirt, light blue ripped jeans, her black pumas, bra, panties (not necessarily in that order), and put her hair up into a ponytail after brushing through it. Kagome brushed her teeth, grabbed her wallet, keys, and went back to the bed drinking the energy breakfast size drink Rin had left her. `Strawberry-licious!'
After her breakfast she got up, trashed the bottle, and grabbed her book bag.
`Thank God I have Rin! She knows me so well and is saving me a lot of trouble! I'll have to call her later to thank her. Now, my only problem is walking out of here unscathed and conscious … Okay, I'm calling Rin!'
She pulled out her cell and dialed the number. Of course Rin picked up on the first ring.
“Rin.”
“Rin its Kagome.”
“Kagome? Thank God you're okay! What do you need?”
“I need you to have my bike ready out front.”
“Hospital front?”
“Si, si, and hurry up. Hospitals give me the creeps.”
“Ooooh big Kaggy finally found something she's scared of?”
“I never said I was scared. It just gives me the creeps. Now hurry up!”
“Aye, Aye capt'n” Then the phone went dead.
“Okay this will be difficult, but hey they're just doctors … Right?” She left that question dangle in the air as she walked out of the hospital room. She walked only a few feet before she heard a gasp behind her and the tap of running feet (w/shoes of course).
“Miss! Miss! Oh my God! You're … You're alive!” `No shit.' Kagome thought to herself. “You should be in bed! Resting! Not up and about! Let me escort …”
“No! I mean … no thank you. I'm fine. Your constant shrieking is all that is bothering me.” `Is that a little harsh? Nah, she is shrieking. Sheesh. Yeah whatever.' “I feel like I'm having a hangover. So if you don't mind I'll be leaving.” Kagome said without turning to face the woman. She was about to keep walking until she heard another gasp and a tug on her arm. `The nurse sure is persistent!'
Kagome turned around expecting to see a medium sized woman in a nurse outfit, but instead was met with a large tanned muscular man. He had short red hair, deep piercing green eyes, and full lips shaped into a thin flat line. He wore a black wife-beater, deep blue jeans, and black combat boots. His belt held an assortment of weapons, daggers, knives, handguns, and throwing knives. It was a wonder how he even got in the hospital at all without screaming people running everywhere.
“Can I help you?” She asked in a low monotonic voice giving away no hint of emotion.
“Babe, the only way you could help me is by you and me having some alone time, but we both know that ain't happening, so just come with me and nobody gets hurt.”
“Uh, I don't think so, and you're right, that alone time, ain't happening.”
“Suit yourself.” He said reaching to his belt and withdrawing a gun. She did the same except out of her backpack. They both stared at each other straight in the eye. `How the hell do I get myself into these messes? No matter, I have to protect these innocent people. Get them outta here. Then … go to school. *sigh* Life's rough and sucks too much for it's own good.'
“Everybody run!” Kagome shouted and released the first shot. It grazed his shoulder as a warning shot. People began frantically running to the exits screaming. The poor guy wasn't really sure what to do; maybe she should help him out. Kagome fired one more shot at his other shoulder and grazed that one as well. `Well?'
“Am I really going to have to fire to get you to come with me? My boss wants to speak with you.” He said in a monotone voice also; still holding the gun pointed at her. `So he isn't just a poor guy after all. Who's his boss?'
“Who is this boss of yours Mr.Noname? What's his name?”
“Her name. Unfortunately I can't tell you that, but she has some information that is very important. She needs to speak with you … today. Sometime before nightfall.”
“Hmmmm, I suppose I can fit you in. Put the gun down and I'll consider it.” He thought about his options and said,
“Only if you do the same.” She lifted an eyebrow. “Spunk. Ya got spunk kid. Sure.” They put their guns on the floor.
“I'm not a kid. I'm older than you.”
“And how do you know my age?”
“Part of my job to know you. Now will you speak with her?”
“Give me your name and a smile. Then it's a done deal.” She replied. He laughed at that and said, “ I can't tell you my name yet unfortunately, but I can give you a smile.” He gave her a big pearly white fanged smile.
“Sweet. Well I'll speak with her. But I got school. I know, I know, me going to school. I think it's weird too.” They both laughed at that.
“How about I meet you at the front of the school on my bike then? I'll take you there after you're done.”
“Sounds good to me, but listen I gotta get outta here now. My friend is waiting out front probably wondering what's going on and where I am. I'll catch ya later.” She finished, and then bent down grabbed the gun and threw it in her bag. Then she turned and walked over to the door. Once again she was stopped,
“Miss!” She heard someone yell. Kagome turned around to see a little boy.
“Hmmm? Yes? How can I be of some service little guy?” Kagome smiled at the teary eyed little boy and bent down.
“Is the big scary man gone? I was so scared! Are you a policyman?” The boy about the age of 7 asked, messing up the word policeman.
“Oh there, there. Don't worry he's gone. He won't hurt you. I gave him the old 1,2. He won't be back. You're safe. And to your other question, no, I'm not a … policyman. Why don't you go back to your parents now, I'm sure they're worried about you.”
“But! But!” He said frantically, tears filling his eyes again.
“But what?” She asked.
“They … they're dead! That's why I'm here. Some mean men killed them! Now I'm all alone! My family is dead!” He wailed. She was shocked to say the least. `Poor kid … he'll probably end up in an orphanage now … *sigh* I HATE my kind heart. Here goes…'
“I suppose you can come with me then if they're dead. What's your name?”
“Sh-sh-sh-shippo.” He said through sniffles. “Will you really take me with you?!”
“Yeah, sure kid. Not like I've got any problems of my own. I'm sure Naraku won't mind. But I'll tell you some bad stuff happens at my place. You might not like it. Well I suppose you're welcome to come home with me Shippo.” She said with a smile. `I am so, so, so, so, so DEAD. Just shoot me now!'
“YAY!!! What's your name?!”
“Kagome. Come on. You'll be going with my friend for a while cuz I've got somewhere to be and she has the time to take you to H.Q. But, shhhh. No one, and I mean NO ONE can ever know about H.Q. Got it Shippo?”
“Yes Kagome. What's your friend's name?”
“ *sigh* Rin.” `More like, `Kill Kagome, Kill Kagome!' Yeah that's her name, Kill Kagome!'
Shippo beamed a smile as she took his hand up to the front desk to the hiding secretary.
“Excuse me. This child's parents are dead so I'm taking him with me. I'm an old friend of his parents and they made me his godparent. So I'm taking custody of him.”
The secretary eyes were filled with fear so her mind was clouded. Not really thinking she let her sign them out and leave. Then when no one noticed she fainted.
Kagome walked out of the building holding Shippo's hand looking for Rin. Immediately she spotted her and took Shippo over to her.
As soon as Rin spotted Kagome she put on a huge smile, rushed over to her, and gave Kagome a bear hug.
“I knew you'd make it! Those doctors don't know anything, they said you were gonna die!”
“Yeah, well you know doctors…” She said in a nervous voice.
Rin let go of Kagome and let her eyes drift over the small boy holding Kagome's hand. Tight. She looked back to Kagome and raised an inquiring brow.
“Kagome? Who's this?”
“Yeah … about that … *sigh* his name is Shippo. His parents are dead, so I'm taking custody of him. I need you to take him back to HQ for me or I'll be late for my stupid school … PLEASE!”
“Kagome! I don't want to be held responsible for him. Naraku will have my ass!”
“I know! I'm responsible for him. If anybody gives you grief about him tell them to talk to me instead. Not you! Don't even waste your time. I take full responsibility over him, but I need you're guy's help. Like to just keep an eye on him while I'm at school. Is Ayame doing anything?”
“No … alright I'll take him back and explain the situation to her. She loves kids and is very good with them. Here's your bike. I guess he's going with me. Have a nice school day.”
“Yeah, sure. I bet everybody thinks I'm dead.” She said with a laugh.
“They do. Have a nice day, zombie girl.”
“Yeah, thanks … Hey!” She began to laugh. “Yeah, yeah sure Rin. Catch ya later.” Kagome said and hopped on the bike. “Tell Ayame to take good care of Shippo for me!” Then she sped off.
It was now 6:45. Just enough time to get to school on time. Everything that happened this morning made her really tired, because when in a comatose state it seems that doesn't count as sleeping. But she would go to school today! She would!
To get from the hospital to the school it took half-an-hour. So once she got into the school she'd only have about 15 minutes to be in her classroom.
`Shit! I'm gonna be late!'
“Teachers gonna kill me …” She mumbled as she ran the deserted halls to get to class. `Only a few more turns. You've got two minutes left.' She thought running down the hall. `One more turn.' She said in her head before she reached the door and walked in just as the bell rang.
“Thank God, I'm not late …” She panted out walking to her seat, ignoring the stares. She took her notebook, pencil, and book; then faced face forward.
Inuyasha who had begrudgingly made his way to school thinking his Kagome was dead had his eyes popping out of his head.
“Kagome?”
“Yes Taisho?”
“You-you're alive … but the doctors …”
“The doctors are idiots who I have no idea how they got their degrees.”
“It really is you …”
“Who else would I be? Orlando Bloom? Listen I know you guys were worried about me but hey look I'm all right. So chill.” She said giving a reassuring smile.
Class flew by for Kagome. She had to answer a lot of questions and get her missed work, but it was good. Between naps she even got a little bit done! Before she knew it, it was lunchtime.
Kagome hadn't brought her lunch for the day so she brought a soda with the dollar she found in her bag. Then she went over to their really big tree climbed up it, relaxed, closed her eyes, and every once in a while sipped her drink.
She heard footsteps coming towards her but made no move to open her eyes.
“Hey, Kagome.” A male voice yelled from below the tree, but it wasn't Inuyasha or Miroku, it was Kouga.
She opened her eyes half way, and took a sip of her soda then responded, “ Hi. You're Koga right?”
“Yes my lovely lady I am. It's good to have you healthy and back at school.”
“Good to be back.” She stated flatly.
“Would you do me the honor of coming down here and letting me take a lovely lady such as you for a walk?”
“Uh, no thanks Koga. I'm … uh … still feeling a little light headed so I'm good where I am for now.”
“Alright Kagome, do you need me to get you anything my sweet?”
“Uh … no I'm good.”
“I'll see you later then.”
“Uh-huh.” she said, watching his retreating back. `Yeah …'
Getting down from the tree; she looked around for her friends, but the only one in sight was Taisho. He was sitting alone at the table she first saw him sitting at lunch. Kagome frowned and slowly made her way over but from behind him.
She reached the table in no time. He of course hadn't noticed her and seemed lost in thought.
“Whatcha thinking about?” She asked, causing him to jump and spin around. “Whoa didn't mean to freak you out. Sorry.”
“It's okay.”
“Well, alright then. Why are you sitting over here all alone?”
He blushed at that turning his head trying to hide it, “ Well, you only asked me to sit with you for that day. Not today …”
“Pfffft, you can sit with me every day anytime. Is that clear for you?” He nodded. “Well seeming as neither of us have lunch today, and Sango n' perv. Have gone missing”, `Makes me wonder,' “whatcha wanna do?”
“Uh, … we could take a walk?”
“Fine idea.” She said walking away a few steps. Noticing he wasn't following she turned and raised and inquiring eyebrow at him. “What are you waiting for? Come on Taisho.”
He smiled and got up. As they walked around campus a million questions raced through his mind. Eventually he just came to one conclusion. He embraced her. Relishing in the second he got to hold her, waiting to be pushed away and screamed at.
She gasped in surprise and just stood there for a moment, before she returned the hug and laid her head down on his toned, muscled, and beautifully masculine chest. `Huh? Wow I am such a hentai! Can you feel the love! … No, not really …… you're insane'
`Why isn't she pushing me away?' He wondered, burying his face in her raven locks.
`Oh my god … awesome!!! And very sexy … Wait what? SHUT UP you're talking to yourself again! Damn …'
Eventually she pulled away from him and gave him a heart-warming smile. “I'm alright now you know.”
“I know. It's just … you're my first real friend kinda and I thought I lost her!”
“I am your friend. You won't loose me. I'm way to stubborn to die from a few flesh wounds anyway.”
“I guess you are. You missed a lot of school, you wanna come to my house after school to catch up?”
“Mmmmm, can't right after school. I've got some stuff to do…” she trailed off. He sighed, `She may be my friend but she doesn't want anybody to know it … I'm still alone.' “So how about 5:00 o'clock instead?” His ears perked at that.
“5:00? Sure. You could stay for dinner and we could study for tomorrow's math test.” He handed her his address.
“WHAT!?” `Shit!' She screamed in her head.
`Oh crap; maybe she didn't want to stay for dinner. Did I insult her? Oh no.'
“WE HAVE A MATH TEST TOMMOROW?!!”
*sweat drop*
