A/N: Okay you guys, this is a longer, revised first chapter of 'Cure'. Enjoy!

A sigh rippled through her chest as she stepped off of the bus and set down her suitcases. She looked up at the sign in front of the large building. 'Shikon Institute for Young Teens' was what it read, but the girl didn't seem too happy about it. She reached down and picked up her bags and walked up the steps to the large building.

As she opened the door she was greeted at the front desk by a lady in a soft pink set of scrubs. "Welcome Miss Higurashi!" She said cheerfully. "I've been waiting for you." Her smile was warm and cheerful, causing the girl to pull at the sleeves of her hoodie. The lady walked from behind the desk and came out with a clipboard in her hand. "My name is Rin Takahashi and I'll be your nurse. Okay?" The girl nodded her head in acknowledgement. Rin's smile didn't falter at the girl's unwillingness to speak.

"If you would, please follow me this way." She said in a warm voice, leading the girl down the white, sterile hallways. The young girl looked around with her wide honey-brown eyes. The nurse made a few turns and went down a couple hallways before she came to one hall that was labeled 'Student Dorms'. She walked down the long hallway and stopped at one that had a name on it, the girl's name, Miss Kagome Higurashi.

The pale, slender, raven haired girl looked at the door with dread. The reality of the situation settled on her shoulders as Rin lead her into the room. Kagome looked around the, to no surprise, white, sterile room with a double bed, a TV, a dresser, and in the corner, a small bathroom. "I'll leave you to unpack your things, dear. Dr. Takahashi should be in shortly." Kagome's reply was a curt nod. The only thing that was any good about this place was him. He was the reason why she chose here, over anywhere else. Dr. Inuyasha Takahashi, her old childhood friend.

She set her suitcases down on the floor and walked over to the edge of the bed clad in blue sheets and blankets and sank down onto it. She lay back on her back and took a deep breath, then sighed. He finally got me here. She thought curtly. She closed her eyes and just took in her surroundings. At least the floor isn't tile. She sank her feet into the blue carpet and let the softness of it wash through her. Maybe this place won't be so bad. She thought to herself as she heard a soft knock at her door.

As he checked his roster the week before to see who his new patient was going to be, a shock ran down his spine as he read her name, Kagome Higurashi. He recognized it immediately. The girl with raven hair that waved to the middle of her back, her warm, innocent honey-brown eyes, and her warm creamy skin…The girl he fell in love with and never forgot. What is she doing here? He thought. Why would she be here? He scanned over her file and he shook. He couldn't believe it. Not her, anyone but her. He could never see her going that far, not the girl that he knew back in Jr. High. He must have the wrong file. He must. But the picture, it was definitely her. He dropped the file and let his head fall into his hands; a shaky breath shook his body.

"Hey," Inuyasha said warmly, "How do you like your room?" She shrugged softly looking at him. "At least you have a TV." He said trying to lighten the mood. She shrugged again and walked over and picked up her bags, then returned to her bed, laying them down on the bed. She opened it and started to unpack.

As she pulled a picture frame out of her suitcase and looked down at it, a ghost of a smile pulling at her lips. She softly ran her fingers over the faces of the picture. Her and Inuyasha at the Jr. High Fall Festival, she was in her Kimono, and he in one similar to hers. She set it on the bedside table next to the lamp, facing her bed then started taking her clothes out of her suitcase and putting them in drawers.

Inuyasha looked over at the picture and warmth spread across his chest. She still has it. He thought. The same picture sat on his desk in his office; he smiled softly at the memory. "I bet you're hungry." He said teasingly.

She looked up at him as she unpacked her last suitcase. She shook her head softly. "Have you had anything to eat today?" He asked worried. She shook her head again. "Then you need to eat." He looked her up and down, this didn't sound like her at all. The realization came to the forefront though as he analyzed her clothing. They hung off of her, her baggy hoodie covering up her body completely so no one could tell anything. Her baggy sweatpants covered her legs; Inuyasha didn't want to believe the file. He couldn't. Not about her.

He sighed and walked forward. "Come on Kagome. You need to eat." She shook her head stubbornly. "I'm not giving you a choice Kagome." She looked up at him then, her emotionless eyes looking even more emotionless. She pushed the last of her clothes into a drawer and put the suitcases in a corner out of the way. She wouldn't look at him; he could tell she wasn't happy about this. "I'll be right back." He said softly as he exited.

She went to the bathroom as he left and looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was dull, and her eyes empty. Her cheek bones were sunk in and jutted out in wild directions. Food does sound good. She thought. How long has it been since I've had a good meal? She asked herself. I want to tell him everything. I want him to save me…She looked at herself again and sighed. He probably wouldn't believe me. I'm just a troubled girl.

"Kagome?" She heard in the other room. She walked out of the bathroom and the smell of food hit her nose. God, it smells so good. She took another sniff and she smiled inwardly. Ramen. Should have known. "Sit at the table, Kagome." She silently obeyed. He walked over as well and set the tray in front of her. Her eyes wandered over the food then lingered on it as the smell drifted into her nose.

Inuyasha folded his hands under his chin and watched her debate on whether or not to eat the food. Her hands trembled as she reached for the fork, but stopped halfway and folded them back in her lap. He grew impatient as he watched her and picked up the fork and twirled some noodles on it. Kagome looked up at him confused. "Say ah!" He said putting the fork next to her lips. She hesitated and then opened her mouth just a little. He pushed the fork in her mouth and she hesitantly closed her mouth around it. He pulled the fork out once the food was in her mouth and watched her slowly start to chew. She swallowed. Then looked at him.

As the food fell into her stomach it instantly churned. She could feel the bile coming up from it, but it was the good kind. The kind that said you were hungry. Her stomach growled loud enough that Inuyasha's demonic ears picked it up. He smiled at her and chuckled inwardly. "Do I need to keep feeding you?" She looked up at him blankly, heat rising in her chest. He looked at her pale cheeks and saw the slight hint of blood pooling in her cheeks.

She shook her head slightly and reached for the spoon. He handed it to her and watched her pick at the ramen and then put it in her mouth slowly. She made a funny face at first and then started to devour the food.

He grinned inwardly after a few minutes and looked at the empty bowl. "Want more?" She shook her head and looked at him. He could see her eyes already start to droop as she looked over him. "Why don't you go and get some rest. It's been a long day."

She nodded softly and left her chair, heading for the bed. She pulled the covers back and climbed in, pulling them back over her. The second her head hit the pillow she was out. He smiled to himself as he cleaned up her bowl and tray. "I knew you were tired." He chuckled and shut the light off, and left the room; leaving her to sleep.

Hours later, she lay in her bed clutching the clawed hand of a half-demon. Sound asleep, completely unaware of her death grip on the man's hand.

He walked by her door to check on her, just to make sure she was okay. The doctor thing to do. He inertly told himself. "INUYASHA!" Came a blood curling scream from behind the door. He swiftly opened it and rushed in. He looked to see the girl still lying in her bed, thrashing around, almost like she was trying to get someone off of her. "Inuyasha," She whimpered tears streaming out of her closed eyes "Save me." He caught one of her hands in his and softly rubbed it.

"Kagome, I'm right here." He softly mumbled into her ear. "I won't let 'em hurt you anymore. I'm right here." Her tense hand loosened and she rolled over to one side, automatically calming.

"Inu…yasha." She mumbled softly, falling into a calming peace. He softly stroked her hair as he watched her sleep, looking down at the hand that held his. A faint smile crept across his face.

"Sleep my love." He whispered in her ear.

Her eyes fluttered opened to the sight of her hand clutching a broad male hand with claws. Inuyasha? She silently hoped. She let her eyes wander up the tanned muscled arm to the broad masculine chest covered in a tight white doctor shirt. She allowed them to follow his chest up his neck to his face, his beautiful handsome face that she fell in love with, not that she'd admit it. His white ears twitched atop his silver hair that flowed down the back of his chair, his eyes were closed softly and his breaths were deep. He's sleeping, she thought to herself with a smile.

She moved slightly to get a better look at him and his eyes opened, his golden-brown eyes looking right into her honey ones. Color flooded her cheeks at the intimate look he gave her. He smiled at the blush that brought color to her pale face. "Good morning Kagome." He said warmly.

"G-g-good morning." She stuttered. He smiled and looked down at her, softly running his thumb over her hand before he released it. A shocked look ran over her features before she realized how foolish she was. Of course he has to release my hand. She thought sadly as she looked up to see Inuyasha smiling down at her warmly.

Kami, He thought to himself, I love her so much. He softly ran his hand from her jaw to her ear with the back of it. A blush covered her face once again as she looked down embarrassed. "Let's get you into the cafeteria for breakfast." His voice full of doctor charm. She nodded softly and stood up and looked at him.

"Oh, um, yea. I'll be back in a few minutes. I'll let you get changed." A blush tinted his cheeks as he walked out the door of her bedroom, shutting it behind him. He leaned his back against it and closed his eyes. "Kami, we've got to get her better."

Kagome looked at her dresser and walked over to it, opening it and pulling out a pair of sweat pants and a matching hoodie, both a soft blue. She walked into the bathroom, leaving the door open, and pulled her clothes off slowly. She covered her chest and looked at herself in the mirror. Her raven hair fell to the middle of her back and bruises covered her lower half. She let out a sigh and walked away from the mirror and turned on the water of the shower. She stepped in and shivered at the, at first, freezing water, then let her arms fall as the water heated up.

Tears fell down her face as sobs racked her body. She wrapped her arms tightly around her chest and fell to her knees, letting the sobs overtake her, the warm water washing the tears from her face. She reached up to the chain that hung on her neck; a small razor blade with a heart was attached to it. She pulled the chain off and dug the razor across her left wrist hard, the warm water washing the blood down the drain. She did the same thing to her other wrist and then let the razor fall from her shaking hands as darkness consumed her.

Inuyasha walked back into the room a few minutes later, his ears twitched as the smell of blood hit his nose like a tidal wave. He could hear the water running before he had gotten close enough to see the door to the bathroom hanging open. "Kagome." He called, receiving no answer. "Kagome?" He called again as worry washed over him.

He walked into the bathroom, steam rose from the shower and the scent of blood overpowered his senses. Panic seized his chest the closer he got to shower. He yanked the curtain open and his chest clenched at the sight his eyes took in. "Kagome!" He screamed as he looked at the girl lying unconscious on the floor of the shower, her raven hair swirling around her face in the water. Blood ran in constant streams from her wrists because of the warm water, her pale body paler from the loss of blood. He reached down quickly pulling her up into his arms. He turned the shower off and wrapped a towel around her, cradling her in his arms like a mother would her child. He applied pressure to her wrists in an attempt to get them to stop bleeding.

As the blood flow slowed he pulled a bandage around both her wrists, stopping the bleeding altogether. He dropped to the ground, cradling her against his chest. "I-Inu-Inuyasha?" A soft exasperated voice whispered.

Inuyasha's ears perked up immediately. He looked down at the girl cradled in his arms, hope flooding his chest. "Kagome." He breathed, looking down at her. Her eyes were shut, her body shaking.

"T-t-thank you." She whispered as she fell back under again, her head leaning heavily on his chest.

"Kagome. Kagome!" He softly shook her, getting no response. He sighed in frustration and stood up, still cradling her to his chest. Clothes. He thought to himself as he searched the room for clothes. His eyes landed on the light blue sweatpants and hoodie she had pulled out for herself earlier.

He grabbed the clothes off of the sink and went back into her bedroom. He softly laid her on her bed and opened her towel. A blush covered his cheeks as he looked at her naked body. Kami, he though swallowing hard. You hentai! She's passed out and all you can think of is touching her! He chastised. He shook the thoughts out of his head and started putting her bra on her then proceeded to her underwear.

Once she was fully dressed, he sat next to her bed, his hands softly stroking her hair and face. As his hands crossed over her eyelids for the hundredths time in the last hour, he felt them quiver under them. "Kagome?"

"Inuy-yasha?" Kagome whispered, her eyes fluttering open softly.

"Kagome!" He moved closer to her, his hands cupping her face.

She smiled up at him weakly. "I-I'm sorry." Tears filled her eyes as she looked up at him, and then averted her gaze.

He shook his head harshly. "We'll talk about it later." His thumbs softly caressed her cheeks as they made slow circles on them. He softly kissed her forehead. "Sleep right now, you need your rest." Despite the urge in his heart to hold her, he released her face.

Kagome nodded softly, her chest seizing from the loss of his touch. As he went to get up, her hand grabbed onto the sleeve of his shirt, a silent plea for him to stay.

His heart clenched at the sight of it and shook his head. "I have to go and do paperwork." He looked at her softly. "I'll be back to check on you." She nodded softly, rolling onto her side. He looked at her one last time and left the room.
