Unexpected Guest

Disclaimer- I don't own anybody! …except Ayuri

A.N. Thanks again for all my reviews both on mediaminer and fanfiction.

Sesshomaur'sLuver- yeah I always thought Hojo was too good to be true in the show so I felt being a stupid jerk suited him. And I don't know when some sess/kag fluff will be. Most of my other stories I've written have seemed rushed to me so I'm taking my time with this one.

KInasha14- I WANT A FLUFFY PLUSHIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crimson2006- thanks you again for the compliment. And I never really liked Hojo that much either…hence me making him evil and getting beaten up. I hope your writer's block clears. Try writing a one shot to clear your head and give you some more ideas. That usually makes my writers block go away.

the angry one- I always love thinking of names for him. He's just so fun to make fun of! ^_^ and yeah, you'd think he'd get the picture by now.

Chapter 5- The Hospital

“We need to get her to a hospital,” Ayuri said as she turned towards the hospital and sped down the road.

“What is a hospital?”

“Umm….what was that Kagome was telling me……oh yeah! Ok, you know how they had shrines in Feudal Japan? And there would be a priestess at the shrine to care for the villagers?” Sesshoumaru nodded, “ok, well in our time we have doctors instead of priestesses to take care of everyone. And the best doctors are at the hospital.”

“How far is this hospital?” Sesshoumaru said, his face never leaving Kagome's shivering form.

“Not far, a few miles at the most. We should be there soon. How is she doing?”

“She has calmed down a little,” he said softly, stroking her hair and brushing it from her eyes, “But I do not think I am going to get my shirt back anytime soon.”

By the time they reached the hospital Kagome had fallen asleep in Sesshoumaru's arms. Not wanting to wake her up until he absolutely had to, he got out as slowly as he could and followed Ayuri into the E.R. they didn't have to wait very long before a doctor came rushing out to take Kagome. But when he tried to touch her Sesshoumaru growled and pulled away. “Don't touch her,” he growled, barring his fangs.

“It's ok Sesshoumaru,” Ayuri said quietly, touching his arm gently, “He's a doctor. He's here to help Kagome not hurt her.”

Sesshoumaru glared icily at the man standing before him, seriously doubting how much he could help his Kagome. “Fine,” he said reluctantly, “you may lead the way and I will follow. But I do not trust you to carry her.”

The doctor nodded and motioned for them to follow him to a nearby room. He asked Sesshoumaru to lay Kagome down on the small bed so he could examine her. “So what happened?” he asked Ayuri as he started to check Kagome's vitals.

Ayuri shook her head and tried to hide her worry, “I wasn't there, but Sesshoumaru was.”

Sesshoumaru stared at the doctor's hands, ready to kill him if he did anything that might harm Kagome further. “Homo beat her up. By the time I got there he had her pinned to the ground and he was kicking her repeatedly.”

Ayuri turned and stared at him, her mouth agape, “you mean Hojo did this to her?” Sesshoumaru nodded, and she gasped, “I mean, I knew he was a little weird but I didn't think he was crazy. What are we gonna do?”

Sesshoumaru glanced at her for a moment and then returned his gaze to the doctor, “Maybe we should finish this conversation at home?” Ayuri nodded and they turned to watch the doctor examine Kagome.

After a few minutes he turned around to face them. “She's going to be fine,” he said calmly, “She has cracked a few ribs but other than that I think she just got pretty bruised up. She needs to stay in bed for a few days and drink lots and lots of fluids. It would be best if she stayed here overnight.” At this point Ayuri shook her head furiously and he sighed, “But if that's not possible you need to bring her back in a few days so I can check on her.”

Ayuri glanced at Sesshoumaru, whose expression had darkened quite a bit as soon as he had said stay overnight. “Ummm,” she said, turning back to the doctor, “Maybe we should finish this conversation outside.” She looked at Sesshoumaru, who had now moved to a chair beside Kagome's bed, “Sesshoumaru, can you watch Kagome for me?” He nodded and Ayuri followed the doctor out the door.

Once they were gone Sesshoumaru pulled his chair right up to Kagome's bed. He began to stroke her cheek softly, brushing her hair from her face. He couldn't help but think that if he hadn't gone looking for her he might have lost his only comfort in this bizarre world of modern day Japan. He sighed and picked up her hand, holding it in his. He was surprised when she squeezed his hand a little. He looked up and mentally smiled when he saw she was awake, “Kagome…”

“Please take me home Sesshoumaru,” she wheezed, wincing as she tried to get up. “I don't want to be here.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~
When they got out to the parking lot Ayuri turned to face the doctor, who still thought it weird that they had to come all the way outside. “Ok, now we can talk,” she sighed, leaning slightly against her car.

“Um, Kagome is going to be very uncomfortable for the couple of weeks. Her ribs were severely cracked. She's lucky she didn't puncture her lung.”

“So, is there any medicine I need to get for her?”

“I'm going to give you some painkillers and she needs to keep her ribs wrapped, but that should be all she needs other than lots and lots of rest. I still think it would be best if she stayed overnight…”

“I don't think that will be possible,” she said, cutting him off. When the doctor gave her a confused look she sighed and pointed behind him, “look.”

He turned and sighed as well. Sesshoumaru was coming out of the hospital doors carrying Kagome. She was straddling his waist from the front with her arms wrapped around his neck, while his arms cupped her legs so she wouldn't slip. Her face was buried in his neck and she was shivering from the pain in her ribs. Sesshoumaru reached the car and without even glancing at the doctor, addressed Ayuri. “Kagome wishes to go home.”

The doctor sighed and handed Ayuri the bottle of pain killers, “Give her one of those every 2 hours. And remember no strenuous movement! You also need to bring her back in a couple of days so I can make sure her ribs are healing.

Ayuri nodded and helped Sesshoumaru get into the car without hurting Kagome. She got in the front seat and sighed. It was going to be a long week.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

“SESSHOUMARU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Kagome screamed, sitting straight up in bed.

In less than a second, Sesshoumaru leapt from his spot on the floor and sat next to her on the bed. “What is it?” he said, slightly surprised when she launched herself into his arms and buried her face in his neck, and even more surprised that he let her.

They had gotten back to the house a few hours ago and Kagome had immediately gone to bed. She had been exhausted but other than that she had appeared to be fine. But now, Sesshoumaru could tell she was defiantly not fine. She was trembling with what he could only assume was fear and she was clinging to his body with a force he didn't know she possessed.

She just sat there for a few minutes and he almost thought she had gone to sleep, but suddenly she spoke. “Please don't leave me,” she said, snuggling further into his arms. He nodded and scooted back so that he was leaning back against the headboard. He pulled her up next to him, being careful of her ribs, and leaned her head on his chest. They sat quietly, just enjoying each other's company until Kagome shifted and looked up at him. “This is nice,” she said, smiling and relaxing into his strong and comforting embrace.

“Do not get used to it,”

“Haha,” she giggled, “I won't. But still, it's nice.” She waited a few minutes and when he didn't answer she looked up and found him asleep. She smiled and tried to sleep. In reality Sesshoumaru wasn't asleep at all. He just knew that if he continued to talk then she would never go to sleep. And she needed her sleep more than she needed to talk to him. Sighing, he resided himself to finding a more comfortable position and then he too slept.

A.n. ok there is the next chapter. Sorry, it seems I never have any time to type anymore. I have plenty of time to write in my rough drafts in my notebook during school. But my brother is always on the computer or asking to get on. So I hardly have time to type. I really need to save up for a laptop. But alas…I'm broke. Well, till next time!
