Chapter 4 of Shattered on Ice: Double the Trouble! Part I

Kagome washed her body silently as she thought about what happened during the day. She spent most of her time catching up with her childhood friends and make up for ten years worth of lost time. She learned a lot of new things about her friends. The most obvious was that Yuko and Takeshi got married and had triplets; Axel, Lutz, and Loop were absolutely endearing, however mischievous in her opinion. She certainly got a good laugh at their antics. Yuri spent five years away from home until he graduated from college in Detroit. She learned that his skating career was put on hold indefinitely due to his defeat during the final of a Grand Prix competition.

Finished with cleansing her body, wrapped in a towel she walked out to the outdoor hot springs. It was a cold night out but the heat and humidity from the hot springs offsets the chill in the air. Kagome sighed in pleasure as she lowered herself into the hot springs. She was currently spending the night at Yu-topia Akatsuki at Hiroko-san's, Yuri's mother's request. Hiroko-san had noticed that it was already late and thought it best for her to stay the night. She had refused at first; saying that she was fine with walking home since she lived nearby, but Hiroko-san would have none of it and said that it was dangerous for a beautiful girl like her to walk alone during the night.

She had blushed at Hiroko-san's comment but she finally relented at the offer to soak in the hot springs and food. She certainly wouldn't refuse to soak in the hot springs and who couldn't resist free food? Hiroko-san's katsudon was the best of all katsudons she has ever tasted. It was no wonder Yuri gained weight so fast.

As Kagome was relaxing in the hot springs, she remembered what happened after reuniting with her friends at the ice rink.

Flashback

Kagome watched as Yuri got off the ice, he was breathless from chasing the triplets around the ice. The triplets were right behind him, all of them with mischievous grins plastered on their faces. She smiled at their antics but remembered that she had something important to say. She walked up to Yuri and stopped about at arm's length away from him and proceeded to look him up and down, scrutinizing just about everything about him while slowly circling around his stiff form.

Yuri stiffened the moment he saw Kagome walk up to him and tensed up further when she started to look him over making him feel very small. He tried not to fidget under Kagome's scrutinizing gaze but he was a nervous wreck. He didn't know what to expect from Kagome, even when they were younger, Kagome had always been unpredictable. He held his breath when Kagome stopped in front of him and stared straight into his eyes.

"K-Kagome, wh-what are you d-doing?"

Yuri was avoiding looking Kagome in the eyes, he could feel his face heating up and knew that his face was a bright red. He didn't know whether to feel embarrassed at the attention or want to bury himself in a hole and hope to disappear, so he settled for something in-between and continued to look at anything but Kagome.

Kagome knew that she was somewhat unnerving Yuri from her staring but this was important so when she noticed his inattention she narrowed her eyes and sharply called his name.

"Yuri!"

Yuri turned his head so fast, she thought a whiplash might be a concern.

"Y-yes!" Hearing the tone in her voice, Yuri prepared himself for getting the tongue lashing of his lifetime.

Once Kagome got his attention, she let him have it.

"Yuri! You are Japan's top figure skater, so act like it! I may not be up to date with everything but I know enough of the situation from Minako-sensei!" Kagome knew that Yuri was in a slump and she hopes that she can prevent him from going too deep into depression or she will literally knock some sense into his stubborn head.

"I know you, Yuri. I may not have the right to say this after ten years but I know you. You're the kind of person who will stumble and fall down but have enough perseverance to stand up again! You may not see yourself in high regard, Yuri, but you are better than that!" Kagome was reminded of a time when both Yuri and she were younger.

They were at the age where they could start performing jumps so she and Yuri were practicing their skating under the watchful eyes of her father. Yuri was failing his jumps but he kept practicing, he would try and try again until he was certain that he could perfectly land a jump. Yuri may not have been a prodigy at skating but he has the makings of a talented skater. He made up for his weaknesses through rigorous training. He would spend most of his time practicing and perfecting his skating until he was satisfied with himself.

"Don't listen to what other people has to say, their opinions don't matter, what only matters is that you believe in yourself. If you let what other people say about you get to you, then you are putting yourself in a vulnerable position where you eventually lose sight of yourself.

"How could you let a simple loss get to you like that?! So what if you lost?! That only gives you reason to make yourself stronger! A chance to redeem yourself! You're not alone Yuri, so get your act together!

"Everyone from Hasetsu, your family, Minako-sensei, Yuko, Takeshi and their daughters, they all follow you and support you in your decisions. So don't you ever think that you're alone! Don't even think that you have to face your problems alone because all you have to do is ask and they'll be there to help you!"

By the end of her tirade, Kagome was breathing rather harshly and she could feel hot tears streaming down her cheeks. She was just so upset that Yuri let himself down like this, he should know better than to listen to other's opinions because they don't matter. She sighed softly when she noticed Yuri's crestfallen expression. She wiped her tears away and closed the distance between them. She gently placed her hands on both of his cheeks, pulled his head down to her level and put their foreheads together. She made sure that their eyes were locked onto each others as she took a moment to study his features. Ignoring the rising heat to her cheeks and their close proximity, Kagome abruptly knocked her head onto Yuri's, hard, really hard.

A loud painful yelp escaped Yuri's lips, but Kagome kept their stinging foreheads together, she really only had one last thing to say that will probably get Yuri out of his slump and hopefully set him back on track. She whispered softly under her breath so that only Yuri heard what she said.

"I will always stay by your side and believe in you even if you don't believe in yourself. Have faith in me, if not yourself, to always trust in your decisions."

End Flashback

As Kagome continued to soak into the hot springs, she didn't notice that someone has entered the outdoor springs. The person stopped and gaped at her in surprise, he composed himself when Kagome didn't seem to notice his presence. He was about to call out to her when he noticed that something was wrong.

"Kagome, are you alright?" Yuri was concerned when Kagome didn't respond. He grew more worried when he saw how flushed Kagome looked, there was a dazed look in her eyes and didn't seem to be focusing on anything. He was about to check on Kagome when Viktor made a sudden appearance and that seemed to snap Kagome out of her reverie.

Kagome abruptly stood up from her spot in the springs but wavered in place from having stood up so quickly. She didn't see that both Yuri and Viktor were now looking at her in concern when she unsteadily made it out of the springs. She couldn't see straight in front of her and staggered her way to where Yuri and Viktor were blocking the door. She tried to focus her vision but the pounding ache in her head was unbearable, she held her head in pain with one hand and gripped her towel closed in her other hand. She made a move forward when a dizzy spell hit her. She managed to steady herself but before she could take another step, black spots where already obscuring her vision and then everything went dark. Kagome fainted right into the arms of Viktor who caught her before she could fall to the ground. Lifting her up bridal style, he looked to a worried Yuri and told him to call for his mother.

Viktor made sure that he and Kagome were decently covered before he hurried inside after Yuri. He was worried about Kagome's condition; he carefully shifted Kagome so she was more comfortable in his arms. Her head was resting on his shoulders with her damp hair spilling over his arm that he has wrapped around her shoulders while his other arm was under her legs supporting her surprisingly light weight. He could feel the heat seep through the flimsy fabric covering her petite body and he grew more worried. Kagome was flushed and she was breathing unevenly. Viktor placed his forehead on hers and his eyes widened in concern when he felt her high temperature.

She's burning up! He thought. He hurried to his room since it was closer and he didn't know where her room was or if it was even ready for her yet. He slid open the shoji doors to his room to see his large pet poodle, Makkachin, ready to greet him. Makkachin looked ready to jump him and he shook his head at his antics; carefully moving around Makkachin, he gently laid Kagome on his bed and made sure that her towel was still securely wrapped around her body before covering her with his blanket to keep her warm.

He motioned for Makkachin to stay quiet before dressing in loose but comfortable lounge pants and a black t-shirt. Once decently clothed, he turned to check on Kagome and smiled at the sight that greeted him, Makkachin had climbed on the bed and cuddled close to Kagome over the blanket. He moved around his bed and seated himself right beside Kagome. He steadied himself with one hand while he reached over with the other hand to brush Kagome's hair aside. He smiled softly when he felt Kagome lean into his cool touch; he gently placed his forehead against hers and sighed in relief when he felt her temperature went down just a little. She's not breathing as harshly as before and was still lightly flushed but it looks like with plenty of rest she'll be better in no time.

Making sure that Kagome was comfortable and when he was sure that Makkachin wouldn't disturb her rest, he left his room to look for Yuri and find his mother; surely she could find a change of clothes for Kagome. Blushing at the thought of changing Kagome, he pulled his mind out of the gutter and continued his search.

Yuri was worried about Kagome so he quickly hurried to find his mother, she would usually be found in the kitchen preparing for dinner. She had been ecstatic to have found out about Kagome's return to Hasetsu. He didn't even know that she looked after Kagome's old home for ten whole years, apparently she was asked by Kagome's mother to look after it just in case they decided to return to Hasestsu.

Yuri was just about to rush into the kitchen when he noticed his state of dress or rather his lack thereof. He was just wearing a towel wrapped around his waist. He blushed and luckily no one was there to see his embarrassing predicament so he quickly went into his room to get dressed before heading back to the kitchen to look for his mother.

He wasn't watching where he was going so when he turned just around the corner he crashed into Viktor. He looked up from his place on the floor disoriented. He fixed his glasses back on the bridge of his nose to see who he crashed into.

"Yuri! I've been looking all over for you!"

"Viktor? W-what? You were looking for me? Wait… Kagome, where is she?! Is she safe?!" Yuri was frantic, Kagome wasn't with Viktor and before he could panic even more, Viktor quickly reassured him that Kagome was just fine and his mother was currently attending to her.

"Oh, that's a relief. Thank god she's okay. I was really worried when she suddenly fainted out of nowhere." Yuri just about collapsed in relief.

"So, where is she?"

"Well, she's resting in my room, I'm sure Makkachin's keeping her company."

"I see. That's good. She's resting in your room with Makka—!" Yuri froze mid-sentence as he realized what Viktor had said.

"She's in your room?!"

"Yeah, since I don't know where she was rooming or if her room was ready yet. My room was closer so I brought her—" Yuri rushed off before Viktor could finish as he headed towards Viktor's room.

"—there..."

Hiroko, Yuri's mother had just finished dressing Kagome into a sleeping yukata. She had been surprised when Vicchan had come looking for her saying that Kagome fainted and was really sick. From how Vicchan had acted, she had thought the worst of the situation but she was relieved to find that Kagome only had a mild fever and with plenty of rest she would be just fine. She supposed that the heat from the springs and adding all that has happened to Kagome had stressed her out causing her to faint. She laughed lightly to herself, if Vicchan was worried, she was certain that Yuri was panicked with worry. Just as she tucked Kagome back under the blanket, Yuri barged into the room startling Makkachin who was dozing off on the foot of the bed.

"Okaa-san! Kagome is she—?!"

"Shhh!"

Yuri stopped what he was about to say when his mother gave him a look. He apologized quietly when he heard a groan coming from Kagome who was waking up. He looked towards Kagome when he heard light giggles escaping her lips and saw that Makkachin was currently snuffling into her hair and giving her cheeks wet kisses with his tongue.

Makkachin was quite an intelligent poodle so when his owner, Viktor, left him alone in the room with the person on the bed not to be disturbed, he made sure to follow through with is owner's silent command. He's a good poodle but he's also a curious poodle. He has this insatiable curiosity to know the person, who he discovered was a female called Kagome, on the bed.

Makkachin wanted to be good for Viktor but he was also very curious and so with his curiosity getting the best of him, he got as close as he can get to Kagome without disturbing her. He took in a moment to take in her delicate features, from her moon-kissed skin to her long dark hair. There was also a really pleasant scent coming from her, he could tell it was all natural and so, before Makkachin knew it, he was snuffling right into her soft hair enjoying her sweet, flowery scent. When he noticed that she was waking from her slumber, he happily greeted her with warm, wet kisses, gently lapping his tongue across her cheeks. Delighted to hear her light giggles, Makkachin began nuzzling his head against hers wanting her attention.

Viktor was chuckling from his place against the door frames at his pet poodle's antics. Makkachin had always been an affectionate poodle, always seeking attention from him or others that are willing to give him attention. Makkachin was also very friendly.

He had been amused when Yuri sped off once he learned that Kagome was resting in his room so he followed Yuri at leisurely pace. He'd arrive just in time to see Yuri barge into his room and hear his poodle's startled yelp.

Makkachin must have been dozing off. Viktor thought.

From the open doorway, Viktor watched as Yuri get silently scolded by his mother who looked sheepish and apologetic. Viktor held back his laughter when he saw that Makkachin had moved closer to Kagome on the bed and was curiously observing her. He was about to move closer to stop his pet but he knew that Makkachin meant no harm so he let Makkachin be and just continued to watch highly amused.

Makkachin was now currently sniffing Kagome before snuffling right into her hair. Viktor figured that Makkachin enjoys Kagome's scent very much by how fast he was wagging his fluffy tail.

Viktor didn't know whether to laugh at his poodle's antics or to stop him from disturbing Kagome from her rest but seeing that she was already waking up, he walked up to the bed and gathered Makkachin in his arms, who didn't look too upset from being taken away from Kagome by the way he was still wagging his tail.

"Well, it looks like the sleeping beauty has woken up from a kiss by her princely poodle. How are you feeling?" Viktor hid a smirk from behind Makkachin's head as Kagome's already flushed face turn an even deeper red.

"I'm feeling much better, thank you. I should have known better than to soak in the springs for long periods of time." Kagome was blushing at his comment but she smiled at his worry. "I guess the heat just got to me and with all that has happened today has caused me to be stressed out."

Kagome took a moment to look around the room she was in. If she remembered correctly, this room used to be one of the smaller banquet rooms and it seems that it's been converted to a bedroom. She could tell that the bed was placed in the back center of the room. There were two small bedside tables on either side of the large bed with four large lamp shades, two on each table. Towards her left, a small book shelf was placed against a door which probably leads to a storage room of sorts. It was filled with books and what seemed to be a fancy snow globe, on top there were three matryoshka dolls, one size smaller than the other, the smallest doll was next to a portrait of a young man.

There was a green L-shaped couch with three light green throw pillows and a white couch placed in opposite corners of the room facing each other and a glass, steel-framed coffee table in between them. There was also a poster on the wall right above the green couch and an arched yellow-orange lampshade beside the white couch.

Kagome then stared at the bust statue of a man with wonder, it looked so out of place yet it seemed to fit in with the room. How could I have missed that? It was right beside the bed!

"Kagome-chan, are you well enough to eat? I have some katsudon waiting for you or would you like something light to eat?" Kagome looked towards Hiroko-san she was about to answer when her stomach grumbled loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Well, I guess that's your answer." Giggling at a blushing Kagome, Hiroko turned towards Yuri and Viktor.

"Vicchan, Yuri will you be joining Kagome for dinner?" Receiving nods from both males, she smiled at them before heading off to get their dinner. "I'll be back in a moment with your food. Kagome, I'll have some medicine for you later, so please take them before bed tonight."

"Thank you very much, Hiroko-san, I'll be sure to take some before bed and I'm sorry for the inconvenience."

"Now, I'll have none of that Kagome-chan, you're practically family. You are not an inconvenience and I am happy to care or you. I'll not upset your mother when you get sick under my care."

"Hiroko-san… Thank you very much for everything."

"You're very welcome, Kagome-chan. Now you wait right there. Vicchan, Yuri, I expect you two to take care of Kagome-chan here, alright. I'll be back in a moment with dinner."

Kagome watched Hiroko-san leave with a skip in her step and turned towards the man who was sitting beside her. He was a handsome young man with short silvery gray hair, his bangs parted on his left side almost covering his teal-blue eyes. She could tell right off the bat that he was Russian. He shared similar features with her father with his light colored hair and pale skin and light blue eyes, although his eyes are more teal than blue.

She then looked down in his arms where the large brown poodle was staring right at her; she smiled at the poodle when she realized that she didn't really know the man's name and that she never had the chance to properly introduce herself. Yuri had mentioned his name and that he was his coach but she couldn't recall his name at the moment. Hiroko-san called him "Vicchan" but it was more of a nickname than name.

"A-ano… Forgive me for my lack of manners but we never really got a chance to properly introduce ourselves." Kagome began as she looked towards the man with his poodle and smiled, they made quite the sight.

"My name is Higurashi Kagome, nice to meet you." She bowed her head in greeting but followed with holding her hand out for a shake as well.

Viktor didn't show his surprise when she introduced herself but nevertheless he followed her lead. He grasped her but instead of shaking her hand he knew she expected; he brought her hand up to his lips and pressed a soft kiss on her knuckles.

"Viktor Nikiforov, a pleasure to meet you as well, Kagome." He said smoothly, meeting her bright blue eyes with his own.

Kagome blushed; she didn't expect him to do that. She held her hand close to her chest as she avoided looking into his intense teal-blue eyes. She could still feel his kiss on her hand. I didn't even know a man's lips could be so soft. Kagome blushed even brighter at her thoughts.

She was brought out of her thoughts when a large bundle of brown fluff was suddenly in her lap staring at her with large brown eyes. The poodle's forepaws were on her shoulders while his hind legs were settled on her lap. Kagome couldn't help but laugh at the poodle in her lap.

"So, this is my princely poodle that has awoken me from my sleep." She cooed to the poodle and kissed him right on the nose, giggling when the poodle gave her warm wet kisses in return.

"So, what's his name?" she asked Viktor.

"Makkachin." Viktor smiled at the sight, it seems that Makkachin has found a new friend in Kagome and was happily basking in her attention.

Kagome thought that the name, Makkachin, suited the brown poodle quite well, it was unique. Looking up, her eyes met with Yuri's concerned brown eyes. She held up her hand and waited for Yuri to take hers. She watched as Yuri walk around the other side of the bed and place his hand on hers before pulling him close into an impromptu hug.

"I'm fine, Yuri. The heat of the springs just got to me, so need to worry too much." She was quick to reassure Yuri of his worries and when she felt him relax in her arms returning her hug she smiled before releasing him from her hold.

Hiroko-san arrived with dinner moments later and Kagome enjoyed her dinner with Yuri and Viktor as well as Makkachin. She was surprised that Yuri didn't get his favorite katusdon but instead some type of vegetable dish.

"Yuri, you're not eating katsudon?"

"Yuri's not allowed to eat katsudon until he gets his weight back to at least last year's Grand Prix Final. Isn't that right, Yuri?" Kagome looked to a smiling Viktor to a pouting Yuri who was looking at the katsudon in hunger before looking at his own dish in disgust before laughing at the situation.

"Yuri's never been able to refuse katsudon and because of that he gains weight very quickly." Getting her laughter under control, Kagome giggled at Yuri who was muttering under his breath while reluctantly eating his rather healthy dinner.

Kagome watched Viktor eat his katsudon with vigor exclaiming "Vkusno!" silently in-between bites before starting on her own katsudon.

"Viktor Nikiforov… I'm sure I've heard that name before…" Kagome didn't realize that she was talking aloud, Viktor looked up at hearing his name and Yuri was just watching what was happening.

"AH!" she exclaimed and both Viktor and Yuri jumped in surprise.

"I remember now! You're that stubborn and rebellious but talented skater my father was talking about!" Kagome looked at both Viktor and Yuri they were frozen with shock.

"Hmm? Did I say something wrong?" she asked when Viktor suddenly burst out into laughter.

Kagome was confused and looked to Yuri who was looking as lost as her so she waited for Viktor to calm down.

Viktor just couldn't help himself, when he heard what Kagome said he laughed until his stomach was hurting. He remembered his former mentor used to get so frustrated with him when he didn't exactly follow his instructions.

"Sorry, I was just reminded of what my former mentor once said to me." He locked eyes with Kagome and he could really see the resemblance.

"You know, you really do look like him." Viktor said to Kagome. "I was just eight years old when I met your father, Alekxei Mikhaelis."

Dinner went by fairly quickly and after taking her medicine, Kagome remembered that she was supposed to sleep in another room but before she could ask her question, it seems that Viktor was quick to catch on to her worry and said that she can sleep in his bed and that he can sleep on the couch.

"Are you sure? I mean, I don't want to have to take your bed, I'm sure Hiroko-san—" Kagome didn't get to finish when Viktor interrupted her sentence.

"I'm fine sleeping on the couch; you're ill and need plenty of rest." Kagome looked at Viktor then at the couch. She didn't really see how he'll be comfortable sleeping on the couch when it looks like both couches won't be able to handle his height. He looked to be around five foot eleven and was even taller than her five foot nothing.

She asked Yuri if there were any more open rooms she could stay in but got a negative answer.

"I'm sorry Kagome, but all the open rooms are either occupied or filled up with storage." Yuri sighed, he was about to let her use his bed but he was sure she wouldn't let him and Viktor already offered. He didn't really want for her to sleep in Viktor's bed with him in the same room even if he was on the couch.

Kagome was thinking of a solution to the problem and got an idea when she looked at how big the bed was but she wasn't sure how to suggest sharing the bed but she just went with and hoped for the best.

"We could share the bed, I don't mind and it's big enough for the both of us." She said bluntly looking into Viktor's eyes. She was waiting for his answer as he looks to be contemplating her suggestion while Yuri was frozen, once again in shock.

"Viktor! You can't seriously be thinking about sharing the bed?!" Yuri exclaimed.

"Huh? Why? Kagome said it's fine and she's right, the bed is big enough for more people." Viktor said, nodding his head at the bed.

"But— You and Kagome— sharing— same bed— #?%$!" Yuri was just overwhelmed at the thought of Kagome and Viktor together on the same bed. He could feel himself blushing from head to toe and he couldn't think or speak properly.

"I have a great idea! Yuri, why don't you join us! It'll be like a sleepover!"

"Bark!"

"See, even Makkachin says it's a great idea!"

Yuri just couldn't take it anymore and just fainted on the spot. He didn't notice when Viktor started to carry him and place him beside Kagome who had fallen asleep during their conversation and he didn't see Viktor turn off the lights and lay down on Kagome's other side. Once they were all settled on the bed, Makkachin joined them on the foot of the bed.

Later that night…

Peeking into the room, Hiroko could see that they had all fallen asleep on the bed. She giggled to herself and silently said goodnight to the sleeping trio and poodle. She could tell that both Yuri and Viktor were quite enamored with Kagome with how they were acting earlier. Yuri, she knew was already in love with Kagome since forever and Viktor, she could see him starting to develop feelings for Kagome, she wasn't sure how deep those feelings go but it was there.

It's been awhile since she's seen Yuri this happy and she could tell that both Kagome and Viktor hadn't had the chance to have a good laugh in a long time. Both their eyes carried a sense of sadness dulling their eyes just a bit. It seems that Yuri makes them happy and vice versa, well either way she's content to see them all smiling.

"Kagome-chan, I wish you good luck with both Yuri and Viktor! I'm sure they'll both be more than a handful. I'll support you all the way!" She closed the door behind her before heading off to bed while giggling into her hand. She saw how both Yuri and Viktor shifted just a little bit closer to Kagome in their sleep before closing the door. She smiled to herself and whispered a silent goodnight to everyone.
