DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha!
Her heartbeat stopped, the heart monitors gave the flat line tone.
'What did I ever do to deserve this?'
A girl's body lay dead in bed, but her spirit arose out of her body and floated above her. She looked down at her body and watched as the color drained from her already pale skin.
Just as a bright light formed above her a boy around her age rushed in and tried to give her CPR to get her back. The boy had silver hair and golden eyes, she thought he looked familiar but in her current state of mind, she didn't know him. All she knew was he was a hanyou and he was cute.
The boy stood there trying to get her to breathe, he was getting frantic on bringing her back. He grabbed her neck and looked like he was about to bite her when the doctors tried rushing in to take him away. A man similar to the boy walked in and threw the doctors out.
Kagome was watching the interaction with interest, the bright light kept beckoning her but she wanted to stay and watch the hanyou, just as he grabbed her neck and bit into it she felt a pulse around her spirit.
He body was calling her spirit back and she had no choice but the answer it. The bright light dimmed as she went back in her body but as soon as she returned her lungs burned and her body throbbed with pain.
Her eyes shot up, blinding light pained her, but her vision was slowly coming back to her. She looked to her right and she saw a blurry vision of golden and silver before she blacked out from the pain.
At least she was alive now, she would thank the boy later when she woke up. But what had he done to her to make her miraculously alive again, when she was just on her death bed and not expected to live.

He stood there by her bed, not believing he just broke one of the most important rules of demon law.
But he couldn't let her just die, he felt compelled to help her, save her, protect her.
The door opened again and the man who shoved the doctors out walked in and put his hand on the boy's shoulder.
"You had to do what you felt right Inuyasha, this girl is important to you and in time you will see why." The man said as he stood looking at Inuyasha's face and then looked over at the newly resurrected girl.
"You could have used your sword on her Shesshomaru." Inuyasha grumbled through his hands covering his face.
"Not on her I couldn't, she was yours to save. The sword would have not brought her back. I am sorry that it had to happen this way but it was for the best." Shesshomaru replied walking over to the girl and looking over at her.
Shesshomaru stopped looking at her, looked at his brother ashen face then left to deal with the doctors.
'Stupid humans don't know when to stay out of our way.'
He grumbled as he walked to the head doctor and explain that she was alive and well just sleeping because of the pain and asked if they could give her some morphine for when she did wake up.
Inuyasha looked at the girl and he tried to think of why he needed to save her, he knew of her but didn't know her.
She was Kagome Higurashi; she was the Valedictorian, head of all the student senate committees, lead singer in the choir and even though she was average, she was quite popular.
Whereas he, Inuyasha Tashio was considered a freak, he hung out with the class pervert Miroku; he stayed to himself and didn't really fit in with anyone. His hanyou features were hidden from everyone with a concealment charm but even then he was still labeled a freak. He was different, the bad boy but no one knew the real him but his family and Miroku.
'But now I have someone else to share my secret with, once she wakes up I hope she doesn't freak out and call the police.'

Kagome groaned as she tried to move her head, she didn't feel any pain because the doctors gave her the morphine Shesshomaru demanded they give her, but her eyes hurt from the brightness. All the wires and tubes were taken out; she just had the mandatory drip going.
As her vision slowly cleared she saw the boy from earlier, he looked peaceful sleeping in the chair, but she bet it was uncomfortable being in that position. She decided to be nice and wake him up.
"Hey, wake up." Kagome said softly testing out her voice, it cracked a bit but she got his attention.
Inuyasha's ears twitched and he immediately woke up from the sound of her scratchy voice.
"Hey do you need any water?" He asked grabbing the pitcher to pour it in the cup by her bedside table when she nodded yes.
Kagome greedily drank the water and looked him over, he was vaguely familiar but she didn't know from where. His features were different but his face was familiar, she couldn't get it out of her head trying to figure out where she had seen him before.
"I am grateful you saved my life, but who are you. I mean I know you're a hanyou but you seem familiar to me, where have I seen you before and why don't I know your name?" Kagome asked trying to be polite as possible with the familiar stranger.
"You know about demons?" Inuyasha asked, shock all over his face.
"I am a priestess." Kagome supplied while she waited for him to answer her question.
Inuyasha couldn't believe he didn't sense that when he first met her, she hide her aura extremely well. Noticing Kagome getting impatient he took a breath and answered as best he could.
"My name is Inuyasha Tashio; you go to school with me. I am the one who hangs out with the perverted monk. As for my features I wear a concealment charm, when you see me I normally have black hair, violet eyes and regular human ears." Inuyasha explained answering all her previous questions while looking down at the bed.
Kagome looked closely at Inuyasha and realized he was telling the truth, sensing his discomfort she decided to lighten the mood.
"You know if Miroku would stop chasing every girl he meets then maybe he would find somebody." Kagome smiled, acknowledging she knew who Miroku was. But then again, every girl knew who the class pervert was.
"I keep trying to tell him that but he won't listen, I think his new agenda is your friend Sango." Inuyasha laughed at the advice.
"Yes, it does seem so; Sango won't shut up about how he won't leave her ass alone." Kagome laughed picturing the two.
Inuyasha relaxed while he was talking to Kagome, it felt right just sitting there talking with no one around to interrupt them.
"Inuyasha, I know this might seem a little ungrateful but trust me, I am not. Why did you save me?" Kagome asked, biting her bottom lip anticipating the answer.
"Honestly Kagome, I don't know why I did, I just felt the need to save you. It was like my demon went rampage over the sound of the flat tone." Inuyasha replied sheepishly.
"Well I am glad you did save me, I am having a fun time with you, even though I am stuck in this hospital bed.
"I'm glad too Kagome." Inuyasha replied as the door opened and a woman who looked similar to Kagome but older walked in with the doctor. Right before Inuyasha had slid his concealment charm back on his finger.
"Miss Higurashi, your mother gave consent to have tests run to see how you are alive. It seems you are cured of your cancer. If you wish, you can be discharged by this afternoon." The doctor told her, baffled that a boy just waltzing in her room and holding her could bring her back and cure her, what he didn't know was that demons existed.
The doctor walked out of the room while the three occupants stood there staring at each other.
Mrs. Higurashi looked at Inuyasha and knew what he was. She was just so happy he had cured her.
"Inuyasha, thank you for curing my daughter, and your secret is safe with my family." She said while hugging the boy.
"You're welcome Mrs. Higurashi." Inuyasha smiled and returned the hug; he smelt tears with his heighten sense and turned to see Kagome with tears in her eyes smiling.
"I get to live and it's all thanks to you Inuyasha."
