"Dr. Fujuto you have a call on line one," his secretary said to him through the speaker. Didn't that woman know better than to page through calls when he was working? He would have to deal with her later he decided.

"This is Dr. Fujuto. How may I help you?" Sesshomaru asked as he reclined in his chair. Might as well be comfortable as he listened to the idiot that had called to disturb him. He waited and no answer.

"I do not have time to waste to listen to your breathing over a phone line." he said in annoyance. He hated these calls, women would somehow get his number no matter how many times he changed it and would just call to listen to his voice or embarrass themselves some other way. Growling in anger he went to slam down the phone when he heard a faint voice as for Sesshy come through the phone. Only one person could ever call him that and he hadn't seen her in eleven years ever since he had left for medical school.

"Kagome?" he asked trying not to let the amazement enter his voice.

"Yeah it's me," a meek voice answered through the line, "So how have you been?"

"This Sesshomaru has been fine. What is your reason for calling Kagome?" he said trying to sound stern.

"You never have been one for small talk," she said as a muffled laugh met his ear. "I'm in town and would like to meet you for lunch. I need to talk to you about something. Would you meet me at the café down the street from your hospital?"

After a momentary silence that left her wondering if he was even there he answered "Yes I will meet you there within one hour and if you are not there on time I will leave and you are to never contact me again." And with that he hung up the phone and sat back in astonishment.

Kagome and him had not parted on the best of terms and he could not think of a reason why she would contact him now after so many years. Yes it was best to satisfy his curiosity now. She had always' been an enigma to him after all with her huge mocha eyes and strawberry colored lips. No, he would not go down that road again.

He continued to mentally berate himself as he got up and walked out the door to head to the café. No matter how hard he tried he could not stop his heart from beating in anticipation.

As he reached the café his breath stopped short when he caught sight of her. Her hair had gotten a little longer that it now reached the middle of her back and her eyes were still so warm and caring. He shook himself out of his reverie when she noticed him. As he walked over he couldn't help but notice that she was giving him his special smile, that only she used when he was around and was always directed at him.

"Hey Sesshomaru," Kagome greeted as he sat down. He gave the waitress his order and then turned those amazing molten gold eyes towards her silently questioning why she had contacted him. She sighed softly might as well get it over with; she didn't have enough time as it was.

"Sess," she said not stopping the tears from entering her eyes, "I need your help...I'm dying."

A/n don't get angry I know that I have yet to finish any of my stories but this idea came to me and I couldn't stop it. I am going to continue this one instead of Come To Me at least for the moment as I have lost inspiration for that story. I apologize to all the readers for that one but I will continue with it in about a month so it's not totally gone. Hope you liked it and there is more surprised around the corner so stay tuned. I am also going to update my other stories with the next two days and am going to come up with a calendar for when chapters to stories are going to be posted. ~Alilangel
