InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ To Make A Wish ❯ Chapter 2

CHAPTER 2
**************************************************************
As soon as Kaede heard the door swing open, she looked up. There stood Kagome one of her best teachers. When she hired her she was impressed with all of her academic achievements, but what impressed the most is how she interacted with the children. Her motherly like quality brought out the best in each student. She also picked up on an individual problems and some how, where others failed, made those children shine. That's why she put Kagome in Rin and Shippo's group. Rin was almost mute when she was brought here, now the child is a chatter box. Shippo, he was a tuff case, his parents were killed and family members stepped in to take care of him. But it wasn't enough to heal his wounds that is until Kagome started teaching him. Now the child's eyes shine with life. She also looked at her as if she were her granddaughter. It was hard not to, she just screamed “I care!”

“Good morning Kagome.” She said with a gleam in her eye.

“Good morning Kaede.” Kagome replied with a respectful bow.

“So are you getting the kids ready for their big Halloween Party?” She asked with a bright smile.

“Certainly, I see the pumpkins the children colored yesterday are already in the windows. Today we are going to make bats and read a Halloween story. I wish we had more kids in our apartment building; I just love to see their little faces and the cute costume they come up with. But having a party with my students will probably be more than enough for one day.” Kagome said with a hint of sadness.

“I do believe I hear some of the kids coming in now, you have a good day and we'll talk later.” Kaede said waving.

 

Kagome just nodded her head, walked through the door to greet the many kids making their way through the doors. At the screams of “Ms. Higurashi, Ms. Higurashi” she turned and bent down with arms opened wide. She knew it was Rin and Shippo with there more than welcome morning hugs. Who could deny them, love?

Rin has shoulder length hair always put in a ponytail off to the side. She also had the biggest brown eyes that could tell you everything she felt, if only you took the time to look. She also was wearing her favorite color, pink and in the crook of her arm her favorite stuffed animal, a white dog. Shippo had the cutes spiked red hair. No matter how many times she tried to smooth it down it always stood back on end. He also had the most intense green eyes, the color of an emerald. She could get lost in them for hours. “My two little angles, Kami I'm glad I became a teacher.” She told herself.

With a light tug on her skirt, Shippo asked “What are we doing today?” Of course Rin was nodding her head wanting to know the answer too.

“Today we get to learn about bats and make another art project. Also, the letter of the day!” replied Kagome while grinning down at the two. “Let's get to our desks and see if everyone else is here today” She said, gently ushering them to their desks. In a matter of moments she had ten little faces looking at her as if she was the most important person in the world.

She watched Rin walk out the door with her guardian and sighed. “What a day. At least nothing to bad happened today. Now if I could just get Taro too quite trying to eat the glue, everything would be perfect.” She thought to herself. That's when she saw it, the little white stuffed dog laying next to the door. “Oh No, if Rin doesn't have her doggy she'll be so upset. Maybe I can still catch her.” She whispered to herself running out the door. “Rin, Mrs. Asai, you forgot something” She yelled. Just as her right foot hit the last step, she knew she was in trouble. She felt her foot sliding on something and down she went. With arms stretch out, they were the first to hit the ground. She instantly felt the pain of her hands skidding across the cement. Just as her body hit the ground, both Rin and Ms. Asai were there asking if she was all right. She just looked at her hands and that's when she felt it, her ankle was screaming at her. She knew she couldn't cry out from the pain. It would only scare Rin. Kagome looked up at Mrs. Asai and said “Could you go in and get Kaede for me?”

Mrs. Asai nodded her head and turned to look at Rin, “Rin you stay here with Ms. Higurashi.” Ms, Asai raced up the stairs, she saw how Kagome fell and knew she was in more pain then she was letting on. She also saw the odd angle of her foot as she raced by.
Rin looked at Kagome and said “Ms. Higurashi you'll be ok wont you?” She gave her a weak smile and said “Sure.”. “Why were you yelling at me Ms. Higurashi” Rin asked? She had forgotten all about the stuffed animal. She started looking around when she spied it only a few feet away. “You forgot Mr. Fluffy, your puppy, he's right over their why don't you get him.” She said pointing in the direction of the stuffed animal.
Just then she heard Mrs. Asai and Kaede running down the steps. She looked up at them both with tears in her eyes but wouldn't let them fall. Kaede bent down to help Kagome up and turned to Mrs. Asai. “You take Rin home now, and I'll see to Kagome.”

Mrs. Asai nodded her head and grabbed Rin's hand. Rin pulled away and walked up to Kagome; she looked up at her with those big eyes and said “You hold on to Mr. Fluffy Ms. Higurashi, he'll watch over you till you get better.” She smiled at the girl and told her, “I'll give him back to you in class, thanks Rin.” She brushed a stray hair out of the little girl's face and told her “Get going now, I'll be fine.” As soon as Ms. Asai got Rin into the car, Kagome broke down in tears, crying “My foot hurts so bad Kaede.” Kaede nodded and said “Let's get you to the hospital.”

************************************************* *************

He rested his head on the admittance desk, he looked over the pile of paper work that had to be finished before he left and just shut his eyes. If he could just shut his eyes for a little bit, maybe they will all go away. Better yet if he just slept for a few minutes who would care, it's quiet right now, yes sleep, it sounds so good.

Yoshio came around the desk and saw Sesshomaru asleep. She knew he'd been working almost 30 hours now and he hasn't had hours like this since he interned last fall. Then there was the added bonus of watching the living God sleep. She could never get over how beautiful he was it was almost shocking, his hair, its unnatural silver and those eyes of honey gold. The body wasn't bad either; oh how she always wondered just was under those scrubs. A hand place on her shoulder brought Yoshio out of her thoughts.

“Yoshio, what's Dr. Tashio doing here today?” Miroku asked.

Yoshio took a few steps away from the desk and said “I would leave him alone Miroku, he's been on for almost 30hrs. He had to cover for other doctors who are getting over the flu.”

“Man. That's got to suck. He hasn't pulled hours like this in months. But that doesn't mean I can't take this opportunity for some pay back.” Miroku said with an evil smile.

“I'm out of here; I need to go check on a patient in the exam. room. Beside I don't want to be here when he wakes up and kills you.” Yoshio said walking away.

Miroku looked around the desk for his weapon of choice. He found the red permeate pen and smiled. He's going to kill me for this, but it will be SO worth it, Miroku thought to himself. He slowly lifted the bangs from Sesshomaru's forehead and proceeded to write. Miroku finished with his task and quickly walked away. “I don't want to be here when he wakes, and finds out what I did.” Miroku thought to himself.
