Reese's Pieces
Chapter 4: Our Last Goodbye
December 23rd 2005
"Well there is no bleeding under the skull into the brain as the CAT scan showed nothing. All brain activity is looking normal in both lobs, and her lung is healing quiet nicely." The doctor said, giving Inuyasha and Sango a heads up on Kagome's progress, what little there was.
A month had come and gone, with it all sunshine as the winter clouds covered the sky, dropping little peaces of heaven all over the city. It had been a busy month. The record had been progressing well, but he would have to be working over Christmas to get it done.
Christmas. A time for hope and joy, but this wing of the hospital the joy did not reach.
Kagome had been moved to the more permit wing of the hospital the Neuro ICU for patients needing specific long term care. It was ghostly quite as family visited the occupants every once in a while. The whole area reeked of prolonged death. The only noise heard was those grieving families, their tears reaching deaf ears.
That silence was shattered as Inuyasha slammed his fist against the night table.
"Why the hell can't you people just do your damn job? Just find out that the fuck is wrong with her and fix it!" He screamed at the doctor.
Shitting himself with fright, the doctor fled from the room. This was Inuyasha's third outbreak in two weeks. After two whole months the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with her, and Inuyasha was starting to crack.
The doctors had explained to them that after two months her chances of waking up were slim to none. In this hospital alone, only four percent had ever woken up after the time line.
For Kagome, that time was up and the news had pushed Inuyasha to his breaking point.
Sango was getting used to his outburst, but it scared not only the doctors, but the kids. She knew Inuyasha blamed himself for a lot of things. It was after all his fault that she was here, but blaming did no good.
Sango grabbed the kids and said she was taking them for ice cream. Inuyasha needed some time alone. Between the kids and his band he had no time for himself, he looked it too. His eyes carried bags under them and his tanned face was starting to turn pale. Stubble on his face showed his lack of hygiene along with his unruly hair.
Inuyasha sighed as he sat down in the chair beside the bed. Looking at her he had to smile. She was just as beautiful as the day he first met her.
July 19th 2000
A sixteen year old girl sat hopelessly on top the hood of her car. She had been driving along the old road to go to a concert when her car decided to break down. Her friend was dating one of the band members and had begged her to come see their show in an old run down bar outside of the city. Stupidly she had agreed to meet her there.
Getting up she turned to the car and angrily started kicking the tire with her red pumps.
Just at that very moment an old mustang came around the corner.
His name was Inuyasha Trisho, newly seventeen and late for a show. His band mates were going to kill him when he got there. Looking in the distance he saw a cute girl wearing a black v-neck shirt and jean miniskirt kicking her car with her red high heals, the only damage she was doing was to her foot.
Pulling up behind her car on the shoulder of the road he got out and walked up to her.
"Stupid fucking fucker!" Kick tire
" You dirty baboon shit piece of ass!" Kick harder
" I hate your fucking dumb donkey piss, stupid piece of trash!" She yelled at the car kicking it and slamming her little fist on the hood.
He couldn't help but laugh. It was just too cute watching the little thing beat the shit out of her car.
"You mother fu-upf!" Kagome was surprised by the laughter and turned to look at her disturber when her foot missed the tire, her ankle hitting the side of the car.
"OUCH!" She would have fallen if her disturber hadn't reached out to catch her from falling.
"Wow, forget your meds?" He asked laughter sparkling in his eyes.
She glared up at him as she tired to get out of his arms.
"No I did not!" She yelled at him.
"But you are on meds. Ritalin I presume?" He stated lifting her up to set her on the hood of the car.
"Hey! Put me down you pervert! And I'm Not on Ritalin!" She said pounding his chest with her little fists. Setting her down on the car he examined her foot.
"Shit girl, your turning into a balloon."
"Are you calling me fat?"
"No I mean your foot stupid!" He said touching it lightly.
"Ow! That hurt you jerk!" She yelled trying to move her foot away from his prying hands.
"We have to get you to the hospital." With that said he threw her over his shoulder and headed to his car.
"Well aren't you a little forward." She said sarcastically from her new angle. The breeze on her ass reminded her of what she was wearing.
"Don't you dare look at my ass you pervert." She said blushing heavily at the hand on her upper leg.
"Don't falter yourself wretch." He said opening the passenger door.
Angrily she pushed herself off his shoulder intent on landing on her feet, but her ankle gave out on her sending her to the pavement.
"Owwie." She mumbled holder her scrapped hand tears stinging the back of her eyes.
Being a hanyou he smelt her tears, felling bad he crouched down next to her.
"Hey I'm not a pervert, I'm just concerned alright? Just let me take care of you." He seemed honest enough so reluctantly she mumbled an alright.
Smelling blood he grabbed her left hand and found a rather large scratch. Bringing it up to his lips and began to lick the wound.
"Hey what are you doing!" She exclaimed, trying to take her hand back, but he held it there making her blush harder.
"I'm a hanyou this will help it heal faster." He explained.
Having a demonic heritage gave him special healing powers. His saliva would help her heal at the rate he did, everyone knew this as it was common high school biology.
She hadn't relay looked at him but it was quiet obvious. His Inu ears twitched, oh she just wanted to reach out and touch them. Along with those ears were gorgeous silver hair and stunning gold eyes.
He was actually quiet handsome. Broad shoulders, lightly tanned skin and his white wife beater clearly showed he worked out.
"You're a hanyou!" She said stunned, they were rare.
"Yes, and your stupid." He said teasing her. Helping her up and into his car he walked around to get into it when she stopped him.
"Hey, umm do you think you could grab my purse?" She asked batting her eyelashes.
Sighing he walked over to her beat up car. He debated locking it up or not. Who would want to steel it anyways? Deciding not to bother he crawled over the seat to grab her purse off the floor. What he found there was surprising.
Littered on the floor were tons of crumpled up Reese's Pieces packages. Curiosity got the best of him as he reached and opened the glove box. There he found etleast twenty more unopened chocolate bars.
Apparently the strange girl had a fondness for them. Grabbing her purse and two chocolate bars he closed the door and headed back to her car. Getting in he threw a chocolate bar and her purse at her.
Blushing at the goofy smile he sent her she opened her package as he opened his.
"Hey, aren't dogs not supposed to eat chocolate?" She asked
"Shut up." He said sending a fake glare her way, which she laughed at, the concert forgotten completely in both their minds.
That was why he had given her that nickname. After dropping her off at the hospital he left never getting her name. But when school started up again in the fall he saw her, not knowing what else to call her, he snuck up behind her and whispered Reese's Pieces into her ear, surprising her. She was shocked that anyone would know about her secret chocolate bar fetish. She turned around to find her night in shinning armor from a few weeks ago. It was a privet joke between friends and then a pet name when they became something more.
Inuyasha smiled at the memory. He couldn't remember the last time he called her that.
Sitting on the side of the bed, he grabbed her hand in his. It was warm, filled with life.
"Why won't you wake up?" He asked sadly, but he received no reply.
"If I say I'm sorry will you wake up? Because I am. I'm so sorry, I wasn't thinking. I was stupid. I know that's no excuse, I know I should have tried harder but please if you just wake up I will be. I'll try harder, I promise."
No response.
"Please baby, please! Their are people who need you. Shippo and Shrio they miss you, they need you, please. I don't know how to be a dad, I can't do it alone, please." He began begging as he gripped her hand harder.
But she was still, breathing even and shallow. Tears began to burn in his eyes.
"Kagome I'm sorry alright! Now wake up. Wake up damn it!" He started to yell at her prone form.
"Common, your alive your fine! There's nothing wrong with you so snap out of it." He said grabbing her shoulders as he tried to shake her awake.
"Please! This isn't fair Kagome. It's not fair!" He was too angry to wipe away the tears that were falling down his cheek.
"You can't do this to me! You can't leave me alone again! They need you…I need you." He stopped shaking her to wrap his arms around her shoulders hugging her to his chest as he buried his face in her hair. She didn't smell of death so why?
"Why? Why won't you wake up? God Kagome, I love you so much. This can't be the end, this can't be it." His heart was being ripped out of his chest, the pain he felt shocked him to his core, as he cried his soul out into her hair.
"Please, I'd do anything." He whispered into her ear as he rocked them back and forth.
"I'd do anything…"
January 3rd 2002
"Can you come home? I have something I need to tell you in person."
"Sorry babe I'm really busy" He said on his cell phone, the music at the party flowing threw the phone into a girls ear.
"Inuyasha please, it's important."
"Kag's I cant, I'm too busy right now." Inuyasha said slurring his words a little.
"You always say that! For two months now you've been too busy…Are you drunk?" She asked realization hitting her.
"Wa…No baby, I'm just…um tired, ya I'm real tired so we will talk tomorrow."
"No we won't. We are talking now! I'm sick of this Inuyasha, you're out there and I'm dealing with this all by myself, I don't know what to do!" She yelled into the phone on the verge of tears.
Inuyasha sighed noticing the girls hopping into the hot tub, Miroku waving him over.
"I can't deal with this right now Kagome. I'm busy right now."
It was then Kagome finally understood something. Inuyasha was still a boy. He was too immature to deal with a kid, and he didn't want to. She wouldn't have her child feel as unwanted as Inuyasha was making her. He had chosen his career over her, so this was it. He didn't really love her.
"You know what Inuyasha. I'll do this by myself but I'm warning you Inuyasha, this is the last time I saying goodbye to you."
"Ya whatever bye." Inuyasha said flipping his phone shut. What the hell was her problem?
Kagome stared at the phone as the dial tone went flat, he had hung up on her and doing so he had made his choice final.
"Goodbye Inuyasha."
That night Kagome packed up her things and climbed threw the window, into a new life, one without him.
December 25th 2005
Even now Inuyasha remembered the phone call. She was right, it was their last goodbye. But he hadn't meant his.
"I didn't mean it Kag's." Inuyasha said sadly. It was Christmas day and he would be spending the next week in L.A to present their album to the heads of POS studios. He wouldn't be able to see her until he came back. Sadly he got up and walked towards the door stopping to look back at her.
"This is not goodbye."
"This is not the end..."
