No One There To Save You
Chapter One: Wanton
"Mrs. Higurashi, I fear that your daughter may never wakeup," said the doctor.
Kagome had been brought into the hospital soon after Inuyasha left. She was, and is, complete unresponsive. Instead of a lively high school student, she looked more like a corpse.
At the doctor's words, Mrs. Higurashi was speechless. She hated to think that she would never see her daughters smiling face. A part of her deep inside regretted ever allowing her to journey to the Feudal Era.
"Please," she pleaded, "There must be something you can do…"
He shook his head, "I'm sorry. It's been nearly two years. We've tried everything. I think it's…" he paused as she looked into his eyes with horror. She knew what he was about to say. She knew it and she dreaded it with every fiber of her being. "It's time to pull the plug."
There it is. She could feel it, the feeling of her world crashing down to a harsh reality.
The doctor frowned. He hated to say it, but it had to be said. To him, Kagome has been dead for two years. There was never any movement detected. She has no hope of waking up, so why keep on holding on. Kagome's family would have to face the reality of it. She's dead.
She found herself crying beside Kagome. The doctor had called Souta and Grandpa so that they too could be with Kagome in her final moment. He had already taken her off life support.
"Doctor?" asked a sobbing Souta, "Is there any chance that Kagome might still live?"
The doctor frowned. He hated to say this to a kid, but he did not intend to give him false hope. "Well, at this point, the only way she'll live is if she wakes up soon. I hate to say that I find it unlikely."
Souta only began to cry harder. He knew it was hopeless and the thought of losing his only sister terrified him.
The doctor looked down and started to walk away from the grieving family. He only stopped himself when he heard the family say in unison, "Kagome?"
Turning himself around, he saw bright blue eyes staring at him with both shock and contempt.
Naraku? She thought. No, how can this be possible? Unless he managed to pass through the well… I have to stop him before he hurts anyone!
Without warning, she lunged at the doctor. She grabbed his throat and squeezed with all her might.
The doctor managed to pry her hands off and pin her to the ground. He shouted for nurses to come in and restrain her.
Kagome watched as the face she once thought to be Naraku's morphed itself into a handsome man with short black hair and grey eyes.
