Sirens blared as the ambulance rushed to the hospital. Radios were echoing as Inuyasha fell in and out of consciousness, crouched beside his was his once cold brother. Sesshoumaru gripped his brother's hand, trying to give Inuyasha's body back some heat. 'I was told he was Ill, but not deathly ill.
They flew threw another set of light as Inuyasha lost consciousness again. His body was ice cold and he kept coughing up blood. One man gave Inuyasha another needle, trying to put him into a painless sleep, but his body was stubborn, they had already injected him three times now and his body wasn't falling asleep.
Once again Inuyasha's eyes opened, whispering words so soft Sesshoumaru had to lean in and put his ear right to his brother's mouth. "Kagome Higarashi, protect Kagome." With this said he fell under sudation. Sesshoumaru frowned, knowing they would have to travel almost twenty more minutes to get to a decent hospital.
The trip was nerve racking even for Sesshoumaru. Every few minutes he was looking back to make sure that Inuyasha's heart hadn't stopped beating. The other man in the ambulance was constantly telling him that he was going to be alright and that he would be able to pull through this, Sesshoumaru promised himself that if he lost his little brother that the man would be the first to die.
The ambulance started to slow down and Sesshoumaru opened his eyes again. The hospital was big and decent, he watched at the vehicle came to a stop and his brother was rolled out in a stretcher.
"Mr. Taisho if you like we will show you were he is to be roomed for tonight. The emergency is very full tonight but we have done the best we could to give him a nice-…" the conversation faded in his head as his ears caught a part of another conversation.
"But kagome Higarashi is pregnant! I will not have her working while she is with child, she shouldn't even be here!" a man was furious. "What do you think her fiancée would do to you if he found out that you let her come?"
"Well as far as I am concerned it is a free country." A woman's voice said lowly. It was a voice Sesshoumaru recognized, a voice which meant that Kagome was nearer then he thought. Sesshoumaru noted that the woman at the front desk had finished talking so he walked over to the women. She had long brown hair, her eyes a soft hazel and her face was round.
"Pardon me, but I could not help but over hearing you talk about a Kagome Higarashi."
"Yes what about her? What do you want with her? She is not here to mess around!" Satou's angered voice echoed across the room where there sat a pregnant girl, around 5"7. Her long black hair rounded off her masterful face. She looked up. Her chocolate eyes brimmed with tears. She could see that the person who had just asked for her did not know who she was, but at first glance she knew who it was. She raised extremely slowly, her belly barely showing.
"Satou, there is no need to get hostile, I know him." Kagome added a warm smile as Satou tightened hers into a fine line. She noticed as kagome face Sesshoumaru she kept her head down low avoiding eye contact. She started to shake as she extended her hand. "Mr. Taisho. It is a pleasure to meet you again."
Sesshoumaru looked at the hand, then raised his head and added, "Yes I bet it is."
Kagome ignored the rude comment, she knew he was not all that friendly, but just a tiny bit, it had hurt. "What can I help you with Mr. Taisho-…?"
"Sesshoumaru, if you would." Sesshoumaru cut in. Since she was a high school 'friend' he knew it made her feel uncomfortable to call him 'Mr. Taisho."
"What can I help you with Sesshoumaru." She corrected her sentence.
"It's my brother, he wished to see you." Sesshoumaru said and grabbed her hand, leading her to the front desk.
"I wish to see my brother, Inuyasha Taisho." Sesshoumaru grumbled, receiving a nod from the receptionist. He started to lead kagome through the double doors when a nurse stopped him.
"I'm sorry sir, but I do not believe she is family." The nurse complained and pointed at Kagome.
"She is my fiancée. Is that close enough wench?" Sesshoumaru kept his voice low and kagome blushed a little.
"Pardon me for my rudeness." The nurse growled as Kagome walked past her. Kagome lowered her head as she walked through the halls.
"Thank you Sesshoumaru." She murmured.
"I didn't do it for you. I did it fro my brother. Your protection was the last thing he wished for when before passing out." Sesshoumaru watched her expression, expecting a small smile, but instead tears started to come to her eyes.
"I wish he would have thought of that before he left." Kagome whispered, hoping Sesshoumaru wouldn't be able to hear it.
Sesshoumaru stopped abruptly, staring at kagome with cold eyes, making her shiver. "You know nothing about my brother so just keep the past in the past." His words sounded wise, Kagome watched as he walked away, but she didn't follow him, she couldn't face Inuyasha, not yet, net when she was still in love with a man that could never be hers. She noticed Sesshoumaru stop walking so she turned around and left. Running back through the waiting room and out to the streets, calling a cab. She hopped in and traveled back to the hotel.
The room was cold and empty, but Kagome pushed through it and started to run the water for a nice long bath, once the water was full kagome lay down and closed her eyes, letting the stray conversation run through her head.
"Where here sir, I heard you had some work for us?"
"No I had work for you, Kagome dear why don't you go sit down."
"But sir Kagome needs to do this, you know to keep her mind off things. She Is so nervous already."
"I will not be having a pregnant seventeen year old working in the hospital full of sick patients."
"It's not her fault she is pregnant-…"
"Well it's not my fault either, Satou you know I think Kagome is a wonderful girl, but she doesn't belong here. She should be at home with Naraku."
"That's was I told her sir, but things are worse then they ever were, I don't know what it is but Kagome has been nervous all the time."
"But kagome Higarashi is pregnant! I will not have her working while she is with child, she shouldn't even be here!" "What do you think her fiancée would do to you if he found out that you let her come?"
"Well as far as I am concerned it is a free country."
