Sorry guys! I wanted to publish the story before I went on family day and I put it on the wrong account! Sorry for the switch! :O
Forevermore
Prologue: The Hospital
'What happened?' Kagome wondered, her head abuzz with a migrane. The next moment, blinding pain slammed into her. Her chest, her arms, her legs. She tried to move but she couldn't.
It worried her.
Kagome's eyes flickered open, but the vast amount of fatigue and agony turned everything into a blur, so she closed them again. It hurt too much to keep them open anyhow.
Beep!
Next she tried to move her fingers, only to nearly panic when she couldn't make them respond; so she tried her toes. Another failure.
Beep!
For some reason, she felt like she was doing that a lot… she couldn't remember why though.
Beep!
The pain started to disappear from her body and another wave of exhaustion nearly smothered her. There was something weighing on her mind though. There was… a dull beeping sound coming from somewhere near her. Her curiosity was greater than her weariness and she tried to listen closer.
BEEP!
She attempted to open her eyes again, now that she wasn't in pain, and she blinked a few ties as she was met with blinding white light.
"…shi your daughter is waking up."
"Sedate her, quickly!"
"Doctor I've already given her the maximum amount…"
The voices and words all seemed to run together and she closed her eyes again tiredly, wanting to tell them to stop squabbling –and what else could they be doing with such irritated auras?-. It was only a moment later that she felt something warm touch her hand, then her cheek.
Again she struggled with her eyes, but this time they wouldn't cooperate. She was just so tired.
"Kagome? Baby can you hear me?" The voice was familiar but hoarse, she felt something wet touch her cheek, "It's momma. Everything is going to be okay. You're okay." Her voice was fading away and Kagome fought to get back to it. She liked the voice, it was soothing and she worried for the pained edge she heard in it.
Yet, she gave in anyway. She was tired… so very tired.
"She won't be the same Mrs. Higurashi."
"...I know."
"She'll have to be careful."
"I know."
The doctor put a hand on the dark haired woman's shoulder and crouched to look into her downcast eyes. "… I'm sorry this happened."
"I am too." Was all she said and she held back her tears as the doctor walked away.
She blinked back tears again and held onto her daughters hand tightly, whispering, "My baby, my poor baby."
"Momma is she… is she gonna die?" The voice that spoke was her son's and he sounded so… casual about it. She turned to look at him, surprised by his tone, and found him staring at his sister's sleeping face with tears silently running down his cheeks.
"I don't know." She said quietly. "I don't know."
"-can't just leave Mia."
"It'll be good for her grandpa. We can take her home; let her go to school in peace without the kids knowing…"
"It's too dangerous Mia; she can't get on a plane." Her father shook his head and sent her a swift glare, "Especially not a ride that long."
Kagome listened silently, out of sight, as they argued.
She got the jist of the argument, momma wanted to take her to America to see her father -now THAT hadn't happened in a while- and, though grandpa wanted to see his ex son-in-law as well, he wouldn't chance his granddaughter's health.
She walked around the corner into the kitchen quietly, stopping the argument and redirecting it to concerned chatter before hushing them with a raised hand, "… I want to go."

Hey Guys! I'm so sorry it's taken so long for this to get out here! A lot's been going on, but that's no excuse for poor diligence. I can't make it better but I do offer my deepest apologies and I'll try to make it up to you.
Also, for those of you reading this who liked Stressing Times, I wanted to apologize for the misinterpretation. It was only meant as a short one-shot to prepare me for writing THIS story, but now, with the amount of people who enjoyed it, I've decided to turn it into a two-shot at the very least.
Onto less serious matters though... I really really hope you guys like this prologue. :D Feel free to leave a review guessing why Kagome is in the hospital or, well any review :) I absolutely adore reviews/favorites/and follows so if you take the time out of your day, I want to say thank you in advance.
