Kagome's Last Request: Chapter 2:
(Disclaimer, I may have forgotten to mention that I own nothing but the plot, okay... on with the story!)
Sesshomaru's POV
I had raced to the hospital, my heart was pounding, Kagome please do not leave me! I had managed to park the car and run inside of the large white building; I saw my father and the rest of my friends and family. I saw her long-time best friend named Naraku; I've known all long that he had been in love with her since senior-year of high school. They had been friends since fifth grade,
and he... well never really liked me, and the feeling was mutual. My father had waved me over to them, seeing the doctor who was a tall slender man that appeared to be the doctor, I had stopped my dead-run and breathing hard trying to get my breathing under control. As I gathered my breath Naraku had moved through the line of friends and family of Kagome and mine, his frame was taller than
mine, before I knew it, he had hit me in the face. Hard! I was so shocked, I literally went down to the ground as he was swinging, we both were starting to throw punches at one and another, as the group of people were looking on in shock.
Inuyasha was trying to get us apart, as her other best friend Koga had jumped in and helped Inuyasha try to separate myself and Naraku; from what I remember correctly I saw my father had grabbed me by my shoulders from behind. Inuyasha and Koga were having a hell of a time controlling Naraku, he was understandably pissed "I knew you were no good for her! I knew that you would kill her!'' I was shaking, I was pissed "What do you know huh, Naraku Tonku?! You've been in love with her for how long, and got nothing, I knew that you were in love with her, hell she knew!'' From the look on Naraku's face, as the old saying went 'if looks could kill' I would've been dead a thousand times over. And didn't really blame him, and if the roles were reversed, I would be doing the exact same thing, Naraku was glaring at me " I would've been faithful to her! I would've loved her until my dying day! I would not have fucked the nearest gutter rat, God only knows what she has! Call the fucking health department! And do Kagome a favor and let her go, and let her be with someone who really loves her!" Both Inuyasha and Koga were struggling to holding him back, and I knew that my father was having a hell of a time holding me back.
I knew that Naraku had a point, but really, okay I didn't cheat on Kagome with Kagura until the final two or three years of our marriage, and it wasn't how he had painted it "You don't know shit, Naraku! I do love Kagome!'' I had roared, okay earlier in the month my actions didn't say that I loved her, I had thought over the past few weeks I was confused and lost. And I didn't know how to talk to Kagome; and I wanted the passion, I wanted our bond again. And now looking back, I was selfish, and I had this special woman in my life and I mistreated her- not physically but emotionally- after every-one had calmed down; the doctor had informed me that the wreck was pretty bad, she was knocked out upon contact. I had looked at the doctor, with a cut on my lip and a black eye, and I knew that Naraku had looked no better "Doctor, could I see my wife, please?'' I had never said please to anyone in my life, this was shaking me to my heart- to the very core of my soul- as the man had guided me into her room, she was attached to machines that were pretty much living for her. At that moment, I had felt my heart drop and hit the floor, I almost fell to my knees, her thins fragile frame looked like a ghost or a beached rag doll.
"Mr. Taisho, I am not going to lie to you...'' He had said while watching me take her hand "For your wife, Kagome, it doesn't look good, she had sustained a massive concussion, and a couple of broken bones. Not counting her tumors,'' I had placed my head on our linked hands, feeling his hand on my shoulder, looking up at him with tears running down my face "But there's a small chance, there is a chance that we can get rid of the tumors in her ovaries and uterus. Its a rare surgery,'' I had looked at him while drying my eyes with my other hand "What are her chances of living after the surgery,'' The doctor had looked at me and continued after taking a deep breath "Her chances would be about 40%. Mr. Taisho,'' I had interrupted him "Doctor, what if this was your wife laying here in this bed, and the same condition,
what would you do?'' I had asked pleading, he had looked pensive at me and nodded "I would do whatever it took, Mr. Taisho, I would rip my heart from my chest. After the surgery I will not lie to you, she would need a blood transfusion.'' I had stood up "Use my blood, its the same! Type-A pos, we needed it for our marriage certificate,'' I had exclaimed while rolling up my sleeves.
The doctor had nodded and went to get the paper work for the surgery, as a couple of nurses had came in with the doctor in tow "Mr. Taisho, are you sure that you want to do this?'' I had looked over at him "Yes, I want her to have a chance, 40% is better than nothing, and if you have to use my blood, take every drop!" The doctor had assured me that wasn't needed, he had told me to have a couple of last words for Kagome, I understood, just incase something happened, they had given me a couple of moments with my wife. Leaning down and kissing her forehead, I knew that she wasn't aware of what I was doing "Kagome, there are no words to even describe how sorry I am, these past thirty days have taught me something. They had taught me never give up on our marriage, never seek outside of our union for solace with another woman; if I could go back I would. But I can't, if you pull out of this I swear to you that I would be a different man, I have writing down in the notebook that you had given me: remember our first Christmas as husband and wife? We went to my father's cabin in Romania, where the snow was pure white and we had each other, you bought me that watch that I had my eye on. And I, in return, bought you that sexy little nightdress.'' I held her hand and continue to talk to her, while stroking her face and hair "I remember how beautiful that you looked in it, I had carried you back into the bedroom and made love to you for hours,'' I remembered everything, and all I wanted was a second chance to prove myself, to prove that I can be a better husband towards my wife.
As the nurses came in and told me that they had to take Kagome to the Operating Room now, I had nodded my ok and leaned down one more time and kissed her lips and forehead, as they had quickly unplugged everything and switched to their portable life support stuff. A male nurse had came up to me and offered to treat the wounds that Naraku had dealt to me, and in truth I think he had the same injuries, I had nodded my head to do so. Afterwards, Izayoi and my father were sitting in the waiting room and stood up when Kagome was wheeled past them and down another hall. I had exited the room with a couple of band aids on my face, as Inuyasha and Naraku along with Koga had returned from outside; probably trying to calm Naraku down. To which, again, I don't blame him. Again, if I were in his position I would've done the exact same thing that he had done to me. Inuyasha had looked at me "Sesshomaru, what in the hell is going on? Where are they taking Kagome?'' With a deep breath I had answered "I had told them to do whatever they had to do, to save her life. I am trying to make amends for what I have done,'' I had explained while I looked down, in the right breast pocket of my suite were the divorce papers. Kagome had signed them. But I didn't, something was telling me not to. I ripped them up and threw them away, as I reached into my soul and heart, Kagome was always there for me. And I took that for granted, and now it was time for me to be there for her, I had seated myself and placed my head in my hands and prayed for the first time in a long time.
Izayoi had startled me with her hand on my back, I had jumped a bit "Sorry Izayoi,'' I had muttered while I had allowed her to comfort me, she had been more of a mother to me, ever-since I can remember, I had bit my lip, it should be me dying not her. I happened to look up and notice Naraku and Inuyasha talking, and I knew that they were talking about me. Since they were about three feet in front of me it was much easier to hear them, Inuyasha was trying to calm him down a bit more "Going over there and continuing the fucking mortal kombat will not fix anything, and you know that..." Mortal Kombat? Really Inuyasha... Naraku had glared over at him "It will do me some good, I would've been the one for her, if I had a chance to prove myself,'' I was too preoccupied to praying and trying to hold myself together, Inuyasha had sighed. Naraku had a point "What about Kagome's mother and sisters? Anyone try to get a hold of them?'' Izayoi had looked up and answered while comforting me "I had texted them and left many messages, both Tusbaki and her mother are in France, promoting something and Kikyo and Hojo took their kids to Vegas for the weekend, but they are trying to get here and provide moral support.'' Izayoi suddenly gasped, "The children!'' I had nearly forgotten! My father and told me that he would pick up the children under the condition that Naraku and I don't kill each other, I had agreed and Naraku had reluctantly agreed. I knew that he wouldn't do anything to hurt mine and Kagome's children, because Kagome had named him the Godfather of all three of them.
I had thanked my father and he left, it seemed like months, when I had looked up the doctor was coming down the hallway with some blood on his scrubs. I had prepared myself for the worse, as we all stood up he had stopped right in front of me and all of us. I had braced myself "Doctor?" I had asked, he had nodded his head "Looks good...'' He had said as we all breathed a sigh of relief "Mr. Taisho, we are gonna need some of your blood...'' He had said while guiding me in the back...
