Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the plot of this fic and any OCs I might add for my convenience…
Warning: Characters may be OOC… Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha's family had adopted Kagome when she was two since her family had died in a car crash and she had no legal guardian to take care of her. Since the Taishos were close friends with the Higurashis, they willingly adopted Kagome into their family since she had always been like their daughter… I won't be describing anyone since this is an Inuyasha and Prince of Tennis crossover so you all should know how they all look…
---Enjoy!!---
Chapter 1- She awakens!!!
In Kanai General Hospital, a group of eight boys all wearing the Rikkai Daigaku Fuzoku, Rikkaidai in short, school uniform were walking towards a specific room. As the Rikkaidai tennis team regulars made their way towards the room they had often visited since two months, they were all very quiet. Why wouldn't they be?
It had been two months since their coach cum manager had gone into a coma. They missed her. After all, she was the sweetest and most beautiful girl they had ever seen. She was stern too, so they had become an amazing team under her and their captain's care and guidance. Her soft voice, beauty, skill and intelligence were popular even among all the other schools and many boys vied for her attention
Entering the room on the door of which was a name plate reading 'Kagome', they all looked at the girl resting silently on the bed. They were slightly disappointed to see that she hadn't even moved one inch since they had seen her the previous evening. Looking at each other, the eight boys nodded before surrounding the bed where the raven-haired beauty rested, covered by the white hospital sheets, an oxygen mask covering her delicate mouth and nose.
Placing the flowers they had got her in the vase kept on the side table, Hiroshi Yagyuu, the gentleman of their team, turned to look at their coach. As the others did the same, Akaya Kirihara, their second year ace, kept the fruits and chocolate they had got for her beside the flower vase before sitting down on the bed beside the girl a year or so older than him.
The girl lying on the bed was breathing softly, easily visible by the movement of her chest and the slight fog on the inside of the oxygen mask. Even though she was breathing, there was no other sign that she was alive. Her body didn't move at all apart from the movement of her chest
"How have you been, Kagome-chan?" Bunta Marui, the net-specialist of their team, asked the girl even though they all knew she wouldn't reply. As he did Jackal Kuwahara, the Iron wall of defense of their team, stood next to him, looking at Kagome's features, trying to find some hope to make them believe that she'll wake up soon.
"Please get better, Kagome-chan. We miss you." Masaharu Niou, the trickster of their team, said kneeling down next to the bed and gently holding her soft, feminine hand in his own. She was the only girl in the whole school that he cared about. She was like a sister to him. Even though he used to pull small pranks on her, she would never get angry. That was one of the many things he loved about her
"She will awaken, Niou-kun. Don't give up on her" Renji Yanagi, the data master of their team, said placing a soothing hand on the silver-haired boy's shoulder. He had directed the last part at all the regulars surrounding him. He knew they were worried for their coach. So was he. She was the only one apart from Sanada and Yukimura to challenge his data.
"Renji's right. Don't lose hope. She will wake up. Kagome-chan's a strong girl, one of the strongest I've ever met. I'm sure she'll be fine." Seiichi Yukimura, the captain of the team, also known as 'Child of God', said looking over the features of the girl he loved. Yes, loved. He knew he loved her. He had ever since she had entered the school in his class. After all, she was perfect for him.
"Yukimura's right. She will make it through. Trust her." Genichirou Sanada, the vice-captain of the team, also known as the 'Emperor', said as he looked at the only girl he respected and cared about.
Looking at their captain and vice-captain the regulars managed to smile slightly before nodding their heads.
"Its time we leave, guys. We'll come back tomorrow after practice." Yukimura forced himself to say, as he reluctantly moved towards the door. Sighing softly, they all looked at their coach one more time, mentally promising her that they'll come back to see her tomorrow. With that they turned and started heading out of the room.
"Urgh…" they heard a soft voice groan, as if in pain, making all their eyes widen as they all stopped in their tracks. The moment another groan of pain was heard they all turned around, and what they saw surprised them beyond measure. There lay their coach, on the bed, but they could see her fingers moving as though she was trying to get up.
Without wasting a second, Yukimura said, "Bunta, Haru, go call the doctor. Tell him she's starting to get up." As soon as the words left his mouth, Marui and Niou were out the door, running at full speed to reach the doctor's office so that they could get back as soon as possible
As they did, the rest of the boys ran over to Kagome's side and gently called out to her, telling her that she'll be ok. As they did, they saw her start to move her hands a bit more before their eyes snapped to her face only to smile when they saw her eyes flutter open to reveal soft sapphire blue orbs. She clenched her eyes shut at the sudden entry of so much light into her eyes, making the others smile softly
They watched as she opened her sapphire depths slowly this time before looking at them all one by one. "Hey guys. I'm sorry I worried you." She said, her voice soft yet slightly hoarse due to lack of use. As soon as the words came out of her mouth, all the boys smiled, "It's alright Kagome-chan. We're just glad that you're alright." Yukimura said, sitting down next to her lying figure on the bed and gently holding her hand in his own.
Before they could say anything else, the sound of three running feet was heard before the doctor, a man in his mid-thirties with short dark brown hair and dark blue eyes, who was wearing black pants, black shoes, a white shirt and a white doctor's coat, entered the room. They saw his eyes widen in surprise as the blue eyes of his patient turned to look at him, a soft smile on her mask-covered lips.
Walking over to her as the Rikkaidai regulars made place for him, he gently pulled the mask off and asked her, "How are you feeling now, Kagome-chan?"
As he placed the mask on the nearby table and checked her pulse, she smiled and answered, "I'm feeling much better now, Doctor. I just feel slightly guilty, since I seem to have worried all my friends so much." She said looking around at all the smiling regulars. Seeing Marui and Niou standing next to the doctor, she smiled softly at them and said in the same soft yet hoarse voice, "Hey there, Bunta-kun, Haru-kun"
Receiving a soft 'hey' in return from the two boys, she smiled when the doctor said, "Honestly, Kagome-chan? I'm surprised that you woke up as early as you did. With the head injury you had, it was diagnosed that you would remain in a coma for at least 3 months more before there were any chances of you waking up. Even though your head injury had healed almost three weeks ago, you still weren't showing any signs of waking up.
"But it seems you have a very strong will. If not for that, your speedy recovery would have been impossible." He finished before smiling and saying, "I'm sure you're very thirsty. I'll send some water for you, alright? Apart from that your family has been informed. They will be arriving here shortly."
With that said, he helped her sit up using a lot of pillows in the process, and smiled one last time at them all before leaving the room. As soon as he had left, Kagome found herself being hugged by Marui as he gently engulfed her in his arms, making sure not to hug her too hard. She smiled softly and gently lifted her hands to hug him back slightly when he said, "We missed you so much, Kagome-chan. Nothing was the same without you. But now, everything will be the same once you get discharged."
She gently hugged him back as much as she could in her weakened state, thanking him for worrying about her in the process. When he pulled back, Kagome found herself being hugged gently by all the regulars one by one a she hugged them back in the same way as she did Marui.
About five minutes later, when all the regulars were telling Kagome about all that had happened in those two months; they all heard a knock at the door. Turning towards said door, Kagome gave permission to the person to enter, only to see that it was a nurse who had a jug of water along with a few glasses on a tray in her hands
The nurse appeared to be in her late-twenties and seemed to be married. She smiled kindly at them all before keeping the tray on the table near the bed. Filling a glass with water, she handed it to Kagome who smiled gratefully at her before taking the water and gulping it down silently. Handing the glass back to the nurse, she smiled and thanked the nurse who smiled back before saying, "I'm glad you've woken up, Kagome-chan. Please take care from now on. You got us all worried."
Kagome apologized to the nurse to which she smiled yet again before excusing herself. As she stepped out of the room, the nurse closed the door as well, so as not to disturb the nine friends as they talked.
They all talked for almost fifteen to twenty minutes more when the door was pushed open to reveal Kagome's adoptive parents, Touga Taisho, a handsome man with long silver hair and gold eyes, who was dressed in a black business suit with a white shirt and black shoes, and Jen Taisho, a beautiful lady with long silver hair which had thin black streaks in it and soft blue eyes, who was wearing a blue short-sleeved sundress and white sandals, and her two handsome adoptive brothers, Sesshoumaru, her eldest brother who had long silver hair and amber eyes, who was wearing a grey suit with a white shirt and black shoes, and her elder brother Inuyasha, who had silver hair and soft gold eyes, who was wearing a white shirt and blue pants with black shoes.
The Rikkaidai regulars bowed to the family before turning to Kagome and saying that they'll meet her the next day. The bowed again at the family before leaving the room, closing the door in the process, so as to give the family some privacy with their daughter.
Within seconds of the regulars having left the room, Kagome was surrounded by her family, as her adoptive mother hugged her gently. Kagome smiled, feeling slightly guilty again, this time for making her family worry. "I'm so glad you're finally awake, my baby." Her mother whispered. At hearing her words, tears sprang from Kagome's eyes as she whispered, "I'm so sorry for worrying you all, mother."
When her mother pulled away from her, she was instantly wrapped in her father's warm embrace. A few minutes later her Sesshou-aniki (big brother) hugged her and then finally her Yash-aniki hugged her.
She felt so happy when all four of them sat on the bed surrounding her, showing her how much they cared. They informed her that she was to rest in the hospital for a week more before she would be discharged. She sighed softly in abandon before yawning a bit.
Seeing her yawn, her family told her to sleep, that Sesshoumaru will be with her the whole night and that if she gets her nightmares again she won't have to worry. After all, her Sesshou-aniki won't let anything happen to her.
Reassured, Kagome fell asleep soon enough which made her family smile. They stayed with her for a few minutes longer before saying 'good night' to Sesshoumaru and leaving the room
