Chapter 6- What you wish for, won't come true

"We could end up broken hearted

can't remember where all this started

but cupid only misses sometimes

oh yeah."

Miroku finally figured he'd gone off the deep end...he climbed in his bed and covered his head up with his down blanket. Nothing could get him, he could hide from the world if he tried. He was about to pass out from exhaustion when he remembered he had some booze left. He scrambled from the bedroom went to the kitchen, snatched his best bottle of sake hauled ass straight back to the bedroom.'Fuck the glass!' he thought.

He turned on the TV, laid in bed and gulp half that bottle down trying to forget how irreparably damaged his life had become. Then he remembered...oh shit Kagome was supposed to come by, but tthen he thought...' after what happened last night she'd never want to come over to his house again, that's for sure.' He turned up the bottle again and took another swig. Just then a knock came to his front door.

"Oh shit." He tried to hide the bottle and then fuck it he decided against it, he just walked his ass to the door and let her in.

"Hey Miroku how's everything going?" She asked hopefully. He tried to sound a bit more upbeat.

"Oh well things are going, that's for sure. Look Kagome I don't expect to have you stay here and watch me wallow in my own self pity. I'm just laying in my bed, drinking sake, trying to forget and watching TV. I don't want you to be bored to death." Kagome being the naive little girl she was brought over a movie and some pop corn hoping it might flip his world back right side up. When she pulled them out he had to give her credit for trying.

"Look I got pop corn and a movie, we can just go lay down relax and tell the world to fuck off!" Well she did have a plan.

"Well that's definitely the most positive thing I've heard all day, so....why not?" He showed her to the bedroom not even thinking of it pervertedly. She was in control, his brain was shut the fuck off. Auto piloted. Kagome popped in the movie and went to go cook the pop corn for them. When she was gone he began to thin, 'Wow Kagome is awesome....Hatori really deserves a girl like her. She comes and brings you movies when you're down and keeps you company. How sweet?" For the first time that day he smiled. Then he heard the phone ring but decided to ignore it...little did he know that was the most important phone call of his life.

Kagome came sauntering back in the room with the pop corn and made a giant leap for the bed spilling half of the bowl all over him.

"Sorry she said as she giggled and ate a peice that landed on Miroku's head. He even laughed.

"It's ok." He smiled. Miroku turned around and took a gulp of sake and then got the balls up to throw a piece of popcorn at her and it hit her in the nose. She was stunned and her jaw dropped.

"Oh it's on now Doc!" She said as she grabbed and chugged a bunch of sake and she dumped the rest of the bowl on him pushed him down, they rolled off the bed together and so she jumped up and grabbed a pillow off the bed and whacked him in the side of the head with it, he blocked it and picked her up by her waist screaming and bounced her back up on the bed. He laughed so hard, this was great they were rolling and carrying on and squishing all the pop corn onto his new expensive sheets but he didn't care. Then that's when it happened. She finally pinned him and the giggling subsided momentarily.

"Miroku..." she said as she looked into his eyes. "I...." her voice trailed off and she just kissed him hard. He was into it at first but then he came to his senses. He pushed her back.

"Kagome, you've got to stop. I can't let you do this, you'll regret it, you love Hatori remember? You should be doing this with him. He really is a good guy and you two deserve real happiness. I'm not equipped for that right now, Kagome...you've made my days so much better but my heart is so broke right now I can't even think." Kagome looked down for a second and thought about what he was saying. All of it was true, she did love Hatori, but what was this feeling she felt for Miroku? She was all confused. He could see the shades of desperation cross her face and so he thought...

"How about you and I get all this pop corn out the bed, lay down watch the movie and I'll hold you. I'm getting the feeling you're just as lonely as I am, but trust me that's not the way to go about it. He smiled and kissed her forehead and then wrapped her tightly in his arms.

"I'm so glad you came over Kagome." She smiled into his chest.

"I'm glad too." They finally fell asleep holding each other thereafter.

"Ah shit!" Kagome yelled as she tried to start her car but it didn't start. She ran back up to Miroku's and knocked on his door. He was surprised to see her back so fast.

"What's the matter Kagome? Forget something?"

"No my damn car won't start. Could you give me a ride to work really fast, I'm going to be late."

"Of course, gimme two secs and I'll be out." He grabbed a shirt and put it on really quick and snatched his keys off the hook to go meet her. They hopped in the car and he turned the music down.

"Buckle up Miroku said. But she didn't hear him or either was too preoocupied." Miroku pulled out of the driveway straight out...it was a straight shot to the hospital from where he lived. 40 MPH speed limit. There were no cars in sight as he drove but he tried to slow down cuz there were cops all over the road down this he did though he noticed the brakes weren't working.

"Oh fuck." He kept pressing them and looking down and then back up.

"What's wrong Miroku?"

"The brakes, they aren't working! Put your seat belt on!" Kagome scrambled to do so but when she did she saw they were headed for another car staright on and screamed. Miroku looked up just in time to see headlights.

BOOM! The cars collided and their car flipped about 4 times and then came to a rest on the embankment. The other car just happened to be Hojo and Inuyasha's car. Somehow Inuyasha was pretty much unscathed except for a gash on his forehead. He look over at Hojo but he was knocked out....nothing but a bloody mess. He grabbed Hojo's cell and dialed 911. That's when he noticed who's car the other car was.

"Miroku!!!" Inuyasha yelled. He ran across the street to try to aid his friend but Miroku was stretched across the front and passenger seat bleeding, he didn't look good at all. Inuyasha spun around a couple of times with his hands on the sides of his head not knowing what to do, then he heard a loud scream and an awful crying sound. It sounded like a girl, he ran towards the direction he heard the sound coming from and saw Kagome all bloody slithering through the grass.

"Miroku...." She sobbed and kept crawling though it hurt. He ran over to Kagome to help soothe her til the ambulance got there. He picked her up and held her in his lap, she was bawling, tears mixing with scrapes causing more pain. No sound was heard either from Hojo or Miroku though.

Finally the ambulance could be seen coming over the hill and Inuyasha thanked Kami, he was worried about his friends.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Cut Scene Hospital~~~~~~~~~~~

Hatori was sitting at his desk when Shigure popped back into the room again.

"Hey Hatori, have you gotten a hold of Miroku yet?"

"No I've been calling him all night he still hasn't answered, I'm starting to get worried. To be honest I don't trust Ayame and it sounds like he's plotting something really bad this time. I know he's done burglary and arson....but what's next?" Shigure agreed.

"Yeah I know." Just then over the intercom they heard.

"DOUBLE CODE BLUE...EST TIME OF ARRIVAL 5 MINUTES!!!"

Somewhere deep down Hatori and Shigure had a sinking feeling that told them it was probably their friend.

Five minutes later they found out their suspicions were dead on.

All of them burst through the door one after another, The first one they brought in was Hojo, still unconcious, then Miroku and then....

"Oh dear god.' He heard a woman screaming, he felt sick to his stomach. He knew it was Kagome, she had been hanging around Miroku trying to make him stop drinking and she ended up in the middle of something she was not meant to be in, he felt guilty. Then the last one was Miroku's friend Inuyasha who wasn't too bad off comparatively

Every doctor in there was shuffling back and forth between patients trying to stabalize stitch up or stop someone from bleeding to death. Hatori was just stuck in a daze for a minute like 'can this really be happening?'

He heard a flatline....'oh no." He didn't know who's it was......
