Love At Twilight

Summary: Kagome smiled as twilight fell over her and she turned to face the one standing behind her. The one that now held her heart. "I never thought I would fall in love at Twilight." Series of Oneshots/drabble/snippets. Various pairings.

Carlisle Cullen

Kagome sighed as she sat in the emergency room, honestly it was like bad luck sought her out. All she was doing was visiting older half brother, Billy, and his son, Jacob, when bam! She tripped over something…and sliced open both her palms! As well as twisting her ankle and cutting up her knees.

Of, course everyone had freaked out at the sight of her blood, typical males, and argued about whether or not to take her to the hospital. Now, honestly who argues about that when they have an injured and bleeding woman sitting on the ground? Apparently her brother, nephew and their friends did. Needless to say she snapped at them and well here she was.

She sighed as her nephew twitched in the seat next to her, he was the one they all elected to go with her. Honestly, like it was her fault gravity hated her. Either way here she was waiting…for a doctor Charlie? Carlisle? Whatever, not like she cared, it wasn't like he was freaking here! Yes, she was slightly upset, she had been sitting here for the past half an hour.

She huffed as she glared at the floor, she swore to God when he got here she was going to rip him a new one. She blinked as someone entered the building, all the young nurses smiling happily at him. She narrowed her eyes, yup he was the doctor, why the hell was he taking his damn time? She growled lightly catching her nephews and the Doctors attention.

He smiled at her and excused himself from the nurses and finally made his way to her. She scowled, bout fucking time. She blinked as he widened his eyes, staring at her nephew in surprise.

"Jacob…what a surprise." Did they know each other? She blinked well he was one of the only doctors in the small town, so of course they must know each other some way. Either way the blood covering the gashes in her hands had long ago dried and was now itching, like crazy.

"Excuse me, doctor…can you um help me?" She rolled her eyes as he turned to her a charming smile on his face, as well as an embarrassed blush.

"Oh, yes. Of course Miss…" She rolled her eyes again and pointed at his chart. He blushed a bit more holding up her chart and looked it over. She briefly noted that he had a small line of very pale skin, then again he was paler then her, across his ring finger. Hmm…he either took off his ring or was now divorced, not that it was any of her business.

"Ah, yes, Miss Higurashi, hmm it seems you had quite the fall." She nodded, no duh doc. She flushed at her own thoughts, wow was she acting like a bitch but hey, she was wounded and had been sitting here waiting for a professional doctor to look at her for the past hmm, she glance at the clock, forty five minutes! Either way her good upbringing made her feel guilty. "Just Kagome, if you don't mind."

He nodded and lowered her chart so he could look at her. "Well, let's get you patched up. Jacob will you be coming back with us?"

Jacob snorted, "No thanks, she's a big girl you know."

She rolled her eyes at him and stood up following after Carlisle. "Don't mind him, he's grumpy something about missing a date with a Bella something." She smiled as he opened the door to his room for her.

"Oh, its fine, by now I'm kind of used to it. In fact Bella Swan is my son's ex. It was rather messy, teenagers." He smiled at her, his eyes twinkling as he got out what he would need to 'patch her up.' It was odd how easy it was to talk with this young woman. Then again it probably had to do with his loneliness. His wife of sixteen years had divorced him just last year, the fiasco with their son being the final breaking point.

He shook his head, now was not the time to think about such things, he was after all on the job. He smiled up at her and slowly began cleaning the blood on her hands, oh those were some nasty gashes.

Kagome nodded, absentmindedly, knowing all to well what he was talking about.

"I know just what you mean. My son Shippo, he's just started discovering the opposite sex." She smiled at the thought of her son, she had left him behind with her mother because he was still in school.

He blinked, she had a son? Well it was to be expected she was very beautiful at the age of thirty, then again he wasn't much older only being thirty four. She, like him and his ex wife, must have had her son when she was younger.

"So…is he with his father?" As a doctor it was easy for him to come up with small talk, it was a way to distract people from what he was doing. Even so he honestly wanted to get to know the woman he was treating.

She blushed and shook her head, not even noticing he was just finishing up stitching the gashes in her hands.

"Oh, no. He's adopted, not that it matters. I've never been married." She blinked when he mentioned for her to sit on the examining table so he could look at her knees and ankle. Wow he was a good doctor, she didn't even feel the stitches.

He smiled as he helped her sit on the examining table, from what he could just see, her knees were cut up and bruised and her ankle was no doubt sprained.

"I know what you mean, my…ex wife and I adopted a few kids of our own."

She blinked.

"Oh? What are their names?" She winced a bit as he probed her knees. Ouch.

He frowned a bit at her wince of pain and grabbed the cleaning alcohol, he quickly began the task of cleaning her knees.

"Well there's Alice, she's fifteen, then there Emmet he's twenty, he got married last year, and Edward, our only blood related child." He tossed the used swabs and gauze in the trash and turned back to her.

"Oh wow, you guys sure had your hands full."She laughed lightly, watching as he sat down in front of her so he could examine her ankle. "I mean I have my hands full with just Shippo!"

He laughed lightly.

"Oh, yes it was never dull I can tell you that much. Now brace yourself this might hurt."

She nodded and took a deep breath as he probed her ankle looking for any broken bones. She whimpered as hot red pain ripped through her ankle.

"Ouch."

He smiled apologetically at her but gently set her ankle down.

"Its just a sprain, a bad one but a sprain none the less." He laughed as she huffed.

"Still hurts like hell. Well damn there goes my vacation." She laughed lightly. "Oh well, just means I can make the others do whatever I say. This is all Billy's fault, dummy left something out that I tripped on, I just know it. "

He blinked, was she involved with Billy? Well, he thought about it, Jacob did seem to know her, on a very formal level. He blinked at the small tinge a jealously that grew within him. Odd.

"Are you dating Billy?" He watched with amusement as she scrunched up her face in disgust.

"Oh, ewww no way! He's my half brother! Ewwww." She shivered at the disgusting thought, her and Billy? Yuck.

He laughed as she 'freaked out' it was quite cute and made him feel younger then he had in a very long time.

"Okay, okay I get it." He chuckled as he moved to his computer to make a log of what was wrong with her.

She huffed lightly and gazed happily at his back, he was a nice man, she liked him.

"Yeah well you better. So what's my diagnosis doc?" She giggled as he turned to her his face set in 'serious doctor' mode.

"Well, you have two three inch gashes on your hands, that I stitched up, bruised knees, and a sprained ankle. I stitched up your hands and will be subscribing you some pain medication as well as a pair of crutches for your sprained ankle. Besides that I think you'll live."

She arched an eyebrow at him playfully.

"You think? You're the doctor you're supposed to know these kind of things." She giggled as he lost his serious face and smiled at her.

"Well…if you want we can have follow up…say Saturday at eight?" He smiled as she blinked.

"But I thought the hospital closes at seven thirty on Saturdays…oh. Oh!" She blushed in embarrassment; he was asking her out…duh.

"Um…sure that'd be nice." She smiled at him as he helped her off the examining table and sat her down in a chair next to the computer table.

He smiled down at her and placed a chaste kiss on her cheek.

"Good. I'm going to go get your prescriptions. I'll be right back."

She blushed like a school girl as he left the room, holding a hand to her cheek. Well damn, maybe her luck was turning around! She smiled happily as she waited for Carlisle to come back. Oh, yeah today was turning out to be a good day after all.
