Author's Note: If you think you or someone you know is having an eating disorder, please get help immediately or talk the person into getting help. Anorexia is a serious illness that can lead to death. Don't ever let anyone bully you into thinking you're fat. Because everyone is beautiful in their own way.

Beep….. Beep…. Beep…..
Inuyasha stared at the monitor that was hooked up to Kagome. He just listened to the beeping sound. Kagome's mother cried in the chair next to the bed. Sango tried to comfort her the best she could. Miroku was out wandering the halls hitting on nurses and helpless young girls in the waiting room with worried looks upon their faces. The doctor had said Kagome is very ill and needs as much rest to recover. She was gonna be hospitalized for a while and was recommended to see a therapist for her behavior.
"I don't know what I did wrong," Mrs. Higurashi sobbed, "I… I didn't realize she wasn't eating. I brought her food up to her room. I… I should've… Should've had her eat downstairs."
"It's not your fault. Kagome must've been under a lot of stress from school." Sango rubbed Mrs. Higurashi's back.
Inuyasha was still silent. He was memorized by the beeping noise. His mind was filled with nothing but thoughts and conclusions. He still thought about the paper he picked up in Kagome's room. The image haunted his mind. If he would've asked Kagome about the schedule, she wouldn't have fainted in class. He kept repeating what happened in the morning. Hoping that he could go back in time and prevent all of this from happening. He would've gotten Kagome to eat food and feel less dizzy. Inuyasha started to believe that it was his fault.
"Visiting hours are now over. You can come back tomorrow at 7 AM." A nurse walked in and said.
"Inuyasha? We have to go. I'm going to go look for Miroku." Sango told Inuyasha.
Mrs. Higurashi looked at Kagome and ran her fingers into her hair. Then kissed her on the forehead. "She'll be fine, Inuyasha." Mrs. Higurashi's eye's were all puffy and red. Inuyasha showed no emotion. Mrs. Higurashi gave a wary smile and headed for the door. Inuyasha was now alone in the room. He stared at Kagome hoping she would wake up before he left. Nothing. Inuyasha left to go meet up with Sango and Miroku.
The next morning Kagome awoke. She felt sick to her stomach and the bright light from outside gave Kagome a slight headache. She sat up in bed, rubbed her eyes and began panicking.
"WHERE AM I?!" she yelled.
"Ughhh…. Please don't yell. It's so early in the morning." A female voice on the other side of the curtain spoke.
"Sorry. I don't know where I am or how I got here." Kagome began to explain.
"You were brought in because you like… passed out in school. At least that's what I heard from your friends." The female voice replied back.
She pulled the curtain back so Kagome can see who she was. She was pale, had blonde hair, blue eyes, and was very pretty. Too pretty to be in the hospital. It looked like nothing was wrong with her.
"My name is Ana. Ana Rexcia." She said with a such a sweet voice.
"I'm Kagome Higurashi." Replied Kagome.
"I know. I heard your mom sobbing yesterday. She was really bummed out about what happened to you. I don't mean to sound so nosey. What made you not want to eat?" Ana had such a curious look on her face.
"I don't really wanna talk about it." Kagome was starting to feel embarrassed and little creeped out that Ana knew about her eating disorder. She didn't even know the girl and she already knew Kagome's history. Talk about a stalker…
"It's okay. I'm in here for the same reason. Not eating. It just seemed like an easier way to lose weight. Exercising wasn't doing it for me. I even tried weight loss pills. They didn't work as good as not eating." Ana was quite a talker and friendly.
Kagome didn't feel so bad for what she did. It seemed like everyone had a problem with their weight and did what they could to lose a few pounds. Kagome still felt weak and wanted to go back to sleep. She got annoyed after a while from Ana talking so much. Ana didn't even look like she need to lose weight. Kagome thought she was perfect. Ana didn't think so though. She told Kagome she needed to lose a little bit more weight and she would have an absolute gorgeous body that guys would go crazy for. Kagome just smiled and said, "Thanks."
"Finally… Someone understands." Thought Kagome.
