Title: To Live a Lie
Note: This will be a Sesshoumaru/Kagome fic I promise, even though it seems otherwise.
Kagome stared at the white ceiling above her, in a white room, with white sheets, and extremely white light. She figure outside her white door there was probably a white hall with doctors in white outfits running around, with a white clipboard with her information on a white sheet of paper. She'd bet 5 bucks, if she had 5 bucks, that they we wearing a white name tag too.
Kagome sighed and closed her eyes against the harsh light. She shuffled lower in her scratchy bed and bit her lip to keep from crying. He hated this place. How much longer would she be forced to stay here?
Kagome had woke up in the white hospital 2 weeks ago. The first thing she had seen was he mothers face crying with relief. The doctor had entered within moments. Coma they had said. 5 years they had said. They were keeping her for observation now.
How long she had been here she had no idea. She kept falling asleep and hen she woke up nothing had changed. She liked going to sleep. She could drift away from the white place and fall back into the feudal era with Inuyasha, Shippo, and everyone else. But they would always fade away, and she would wake up back in the white hospital alone surrounded by random flowers from people she didn't know or couldn't remember. She had no visitors except from her mom and brother Souta.
Apparently Grandpa was visiting a friend out of town, but on his way back to see her. Souta had grown so much! In her dreams he was always the small little 10 year old boy he had been when she had last seen him, but now he was 15 and reached her neck. Kagome hadn't recognized him at first. When she had found out who he was she had cried. Mama hadn't changed much. There was far more lines on her face than Kagome had remembered and her hair no longer stayed perfect with some secret technique only her mother could do. No, now her hair and clothes seemed more wrinkled than they should have been, as thought she had spent more than one night sleeping by her side.
It was a shame Kagome longed to leave them again. When she had woke up she had been convinced that she had spent the last 5 years in the feudal era and when she had told her mother this they had locked her away. They thought she was crazy, confused by her prolonged coma. Now, Kagome thought so too. Maybe the feudal era was only in her head; maybe she was only dreaming it all up. Kagome choked back a sob. She didn't want them to be dreams, but they were.
Kagome clenched her jaw and sat up. Quietly she slung her leg over the side if the bed and walked over to the window. She had convinced then to unhook her from all the equipment a week ago. Other needed it, and she was fine as long as she left her IV in.
Kagome leaned her head against the window frame. It was bright and sunny outside though there wasn't much to look at. There was a sidewalk, a road, a bunch of cars, and a couple of trees. Kagome let her eyes wonder randomly over the bustle of the people below her. They looked like they had things to do and places to be. All but one. Kagome squinted at a lone figure leaning against a tree. He looked as though he too was observing humanity and was bored by it, by his posture. His arms were crossed over his white doctor's coat and his silver hair shimmered in the light. Kagome sucked in a breath. She knew him.
"Inuyasha."
Kagome turned and raced for her door. Slamming it open she raced down the hall pushing aside trays in her way heading straight for the elevator. A man in a scrub outfit grabbed her arm. He was telling her to stop. He was keeping her from Inuyasha.
"Let me go!"
Kagome struggled and cried out when a nurse grabbed her wrist.
"Hold on! Where are you going!"
"Let me go! I need to see Inuyasha!" She shouted wrenching her arm from the nurse, who proceeded to grab it again with the help of another nurse.
"Who"
"Inuyasha!"
"There is no Inuyasha here!" Kagome paused in her struggling.
"Yes there is, he was standing outside in a white coat." Said Kagome pointing at the doctor's coat her captor had on.
"Look ma'am there is no Inuyasha working here; now please return to your room." Said the nurse.
Kagome nodded dumb-founded and walked back to her room with the nurse tailing her along to way to make sure she didn't run again. Once back in her room the nurse returned outside and Kagome tried to ignore the whispers outside. Quickly Kagome stepped back to her window.
Everything was the same, the trees, the people, except there now there was no Inuyasha.
Here you go. I know, I know I should be working on all my other stories, but this idea was just eating me up and well yeah I jumped on it. Hope you will enjoy it.
