Loss of Love
Chapter One
Sesshomaru raced into the emergency room and headed straight to the receptionist; a mixture of emotions coursed through him as he became desperate to discover what had befallen his beloved mate, InuYasha. He had recieved the call only minutes ago; a perk to being a full demon meant that he could travel closely to the speed of light. His fierce amber eyes stared down at the young woman who was visibly shaking under his gaze.
"Which room is InuYasha Taka in?" he asked as calmly as he could.
"How are you related to Mr Taka?" the human asked. Sesshomaru growled inwardly at the questions.
"He's my mate" he answered. The receptionist typed it in and dared to smile at him.
"He's still in surgery Mr Taka If you please take a seat someone will come for you when surgery has finished" the receptionist told him. Sesshomaru nodded and began the long wait.
Three hours later
The emergency room had lessened and Sesshomaru was pacing; his youkai level was high as various thoughts and feellings flooded through him. What was happening? Was his mate and unborn ok? This waiting was pissing him off and a pissed off Sesshomaru wasn't a pleasent thing.
"Mr Taka may I have a word?" an old voice asked. Sesshomaru turned to see a short old woman with long grey hair bound behind her and an eye patch covering her left eye. He nodded and the woman beckoned him to follow her. They walked the corriders and stopped by a room where InuYasha lay; unconcious with various machines plugged in. Sesshomaru wanted to rush inside but something told him that the woman had something important to tell him; about his mate. The look on her face was full of sorrow.
"Mr Taka I am Dr Kaede and I led the team that operated on your mate. We nearly lost him due to blood loss however we managed to control the bleeding and physically he should recover well. His recovering mentally is another matter" Dr Kaede said causing Sesshomaru to frown.
"And the pup?" he asked. Dr Kaede looked away and a heavy sigh escaped her causing Sesshomaru's heart to sink as he gazed at his mate in the bed.
"I'm afraid that when he was brought in he complained of abdominal pain that when touched he nearly bit someone's fingers off. There was also some bleeding and when we opened him up we discovered that there was a placenta abruption or in other words the placenta had come away from the wall of the uterus. We attempted to save them both however due to lack of oxygen, the pup was stillborn and in order to save your mate we were forced to do an emergency hysterectomy. We have also given him a couple of blood transfusions but he's going to be weak and sore. I am very sorry" Dr Kaede finished and silence filled the corridor as Sesshomaru absorbed the information. Without looking at the doctor he sighed and spoke softly.
"Can you make sure we are left alone for a while?" he asked.
"Yes I'm sure that will be alright. When he wakes up just send for a nurse and they'll come get me" and with that Dr Kaede left as Sesshomaru entered the room and made his way to sit in the chair beside his mate's bed. His beautiful mate looked deathly pale and Sesshomaru found himself hiding his face in his hands as the tears slowly began to fall. What was going to happen now? Sesshomaru wondered as the machines beeped.
