Chapter 1, Part 2 - First Day On the Job
Kagome realized it wasn't her miko powers that she happened to use in reviving the cat: it was her life force itself. She must've held onto the cat for too long, almost emptying her life force in exchange for the cat's life. She was lucky her grandfather thought to do what he did and sent her life force flowing back to her. After her near-death experience, she decided to undergo another set of in-depth meditations to help her control her life-giving powers. She knew she had to be extra-careful and had to have exquisite control to pull off the 'life transfer' ability successfully. Meaning that she doesn't end up dead herself after healing her target.
Discovering that ability made Kagome rethink her options. She originally wanted to be a pediatrician, but in light of her powers she decided she would be better off in the emergency department. Her family supported her decision all the way; their only condition was that she take extra care of herself when she used her powers. So far, she hadn't dissapointed them by dying yet.
Then came the time to go to the States to start her residency. It opened up her eyes to new things.For one, the youkai didn't stay in Japan. They were EVERYWHERE. Name any country and you'll find at least a handful of demons residing there. Two, there was another kind of demon who preyed on humans--and youkai alike. Vampires. Those blood-sucking leeches survived on milking any living thing dry. She got to learn that the hard way.
Kagome loved going to the bar and disco as much as the next girl, and those places were a must-see in the States, believe you her. So during one of her time-off, she dared to go to a disco alone. Her confidence in her ability to protect herself was absolute. Okay, after that night, she decided it was highly overrated. She learned of fear and humility all in one night.
There she was sitting at the bar amidst the crush of bodies; the deafening noise and the ever-present fog of smoke surrounding her as she sipped at her margarita and enjoyed the music that was currently blaring out of the speakers. She was swaying her hips in time to the beat in her stool when a man approached her. The only word that could describe him was 'beautiful'. Damn, but he was hot! Now Kagome, being the warm-blooded woman that she was, enjoyed a bit of a fling every now and again. Nothing serious, of course, just some flirtation with a really good-looking guy here and there. And the specimen before her was more than 'just' good-looking, believe you her. He exuded an aura of downright animalistic sensuality that could bring you to your knees. And when he smiled... well, let's just say you'd better have your garter belt worn tighter than usual.
So they flirted, the man moving closer to Kagome than propriety allowed. He kept on whispering close to her ear, and she could swear he was inhaling her scent. She was only on her 3rd glass of margarita, but she knew she was on her way to getting tipsy. Rule number 1: Never get drunk. It will dull your senses and slow your reflexes. Sticking to her rules, Kagome slid off the bar stool. It was time to go home.
The man insisted on walking her to her car. Kagome relented, sensing no harm in it. They went out of the disco, the man keeping his arm around Kagome's swaying hips. When they got to her car, she pulled out of the man's hold and smiled at him. She was about to use her car key when the man suddenly turned her around to face him, effectively pinning her to the car. He was smiling seductively.
"Don't I get a goodbye kiss at least?"
Her heart thumping fast against her ribs, Kagome had the feeling he didn't mean a peck on the cheek or a smack on the lips. She's never been kissed the way he's meaning to kiss her. But what the heck. There's always a first time for everything, right?
Wrong. Stupid, stupid move on her part. Just as they were both leaning towards each other for that kiss, his beautiful face changed on her. His eyes became cat-like in appearance, the pupils dilating pointedly. His pearly white teeth now sported gleaming fangs, honed to killing perfection. She watched in horrified fascination as his smile turned to a sneer. Her mind ordered her to move, but her body failed to follow.
"I'll fuck you first before I suck you dry, bitch,"
Her mind scrambled, fighting back the fear and panic that threatened to own her and she desperately gathered her power and pushed it towards him with all her might. That blasted him a few feet away from her. Kagome was aghast, she only managed to knock him back and didn't even give him as much as a scratch! The 'thing' can't be purified too, else he'd be vaporized into nothing by that blast. She started shaking for real now.
"What are you?"
The 'thing' laughed at her voice obviously filled with terror. He could smell the fear coming from her, and was excited by it.
