Once Kagome removed the blanket, she then lifted up her hospital gown to reveal that her side had several stitches.

"What on earth happened; what the hell did he do to you?!" Inuyasha asked becoming enraged, trying to keep his voice down so that doctors or nurses wouldn't come running in.

"He stabbed me because I refused to have sex with him…let alone be with him." Kagome said softly as she put her gown back down and covered back up with the blanket.

"How…why…Kagome…I'll be right back…" Inuyasha said frustrated; he didn't want to yell and scream in front of Kagome.

"Oh…ok…" Kagome said slightly upset…but not at Inuyasha; but at herself.

With Inuyasha:

Inuyasha's P.O.V.:

Why? Why did this have to happen to her of all people?

I should've pushed more to take her home…granted I guess I get why she didn't want me knowing where she was living.

I pray to God that I don't ever see that mother fucker. Hojo Tomo…

I should've been there to protect her.

I should've seen this coming.

I should've gone with her.

But that's not going to happen ever again; I'll keep her protected…no matter what.

Normal P.O.V.:

So after Inuyasha got done arguing with himself and his conscience he went back to Kagome's room.

When he got to Kagome's room she was asleep.

'She looks so peaceful.' Inuyasha thought to himself as he sat back in the chair and sighed.

"How is she?" Sango and Ayame asked coming into the room making Inuyasha jump a little.

"Jesus; you scared the crap out of me! She's ok I suppose…she's asleep currently." Inuyasha said simply.

"Do you know what happened?" Sango asked right away.

"Someone named Hojo Tomo attacked her and stabbed her in the side." Inuyasha answered honestly.

"I should've known. That bastard just doesn't get it…" Sango mumbled.

"Has he been arrested?" Ayame asked softly.

"I'm not sure…" Inuyasha answered honestly.

"Do you know where she's been living?" Ayame asked, indicating she knows.

"At home with her crack-head mother." Sango answered annoyed.

"So…how did you find out?" Inuyasha asked Ayame, confusing Sango.

"I seen her one day. So you do know then." Ayame said looking at Inuyasha.

"Know what? What's going on? Tell me." Sango demanded.

"Kagome's been living in a motel; her mother kicked her out. I'm not sure why, but she did. She didn't want to burden us because you just moved in with a new family member and my family is already too big." Ayame explained.

"She just told me that her mother kicked her out because she refused to be with this Hojo guy." Inuyasha said calmly.

"The guy her mom wants her to marry…" Sango and Ayame said sighing.

"I guess…" Inuyasha sighed.

"But don't worry; Kagome doesn't love him; she doesn't even like him. But she does love you." Ayame and Sango said with smiles.

"So we were right; you and Kagome are a thing." Miroku and Koga said walking into the room.

"What are you two doing here?" I asked shocked.

"We heard what happened on the news." Miroku said simply.

"The news?" Sango, Ayame and I asked all shocked.

"Yes; it's all over the news. Now it makes since why she hasn't been in school for the last four days without anyone calling her in." Koga said plainly.

"Someone named Hojo Tomo has been arrested for the crime and admitted doing so because she refused to be with him; he thinks she's dead. We didn't know it was Kagome until we overheard these two talking. We just decided to come visit and see how she was doing. We never expected to see you here. Well…we kind of did; we had a feeling you two were in some kind of relationship. Why didn't you tell either of us?" Miroku asked looking at Inuyasha.

"Kagome didn't want anyone to know just yet; we both wanted to wait awhile. And asides from you four, she doesn't want anyone else to know." Inuyasha said seriously.

"Ok…Ayame and I are dating and everyone knows about us." Koga said calmly.

"Yeah, but you almost lost your job and wasn't she branded as a girl who couldn't get anything done on her own; that she was sleeping with her teacher to get passing grades?" Inuyasha asked seriously, looking directly at Koga.

"Yeah, but we got over that and no one mentions it anymore." Koga said seriously.

"Ok, but Kagome's not Ayame; she can't handle all that." Inuyasha said looking from Koga to Kagome.

"I suppose…Kagome's not the brightest student in math or science is she?" Koga asked with a smirk.

"Shut it! She does just fine. And she's not passing because we're together; she's passing on her own work ethics." Inuyasha said seriously, becoming annoyed.

"Ok you two; just relax. This is their business and we'll accept what they wish." Miroku said breaking anything up before it started.

"Right…" Koga mumbled; he wanted to have some fun with this… But Miroku put his foot down; and when he did that, he meant business.

"So…how is she?" Miroku asked as he calmed down.

"She was stabbed in the side and is now resting. I think she's in pain, but isn't saying anything. How are your lives going?" Inuyasha explained and then asked looking at Kagome.

"Who are you asking? Us or the girls?" Koga asked looking at Inuyasha.

"Either…but I'm not sure the girls want to talk to me about their lives." Inuyasha said seriously; and he was right. Sango and Ayame would prefer to talk to Kagome; she would fill Inuyasha in later.

"Well, Ayame and I are doing good." Koga said calmly.

"I started dating Sango yesterday; and we're very much in love." Miroku explained when he seen not only Inuyasha's and Koga's faces, but also Sango's and Ayame's.

"Mmm…oww…" Kagome moaned in pain in her sleep.

"Oh…it seems like she has a lot of visitors today." A nurse said walking in kind of surprised.

"Sorry…" Everyone in the room said looking at the nurse.

"No, don't be; this is a good thing. She said she didn't have any fAyamely who were coming; at least she has friends." The nurse said walking over to Kagome.

"Well, we're going to head back; I have a meeting with the principal." Miroku said calmly.

"And I have to get the test finished." Koga said heading out.

Inuyasha had gotten everything done before he even came to visit Kagome.

"Ms. Okunaka, please wake up; I need to check your vitals and everything." The nurse said gently shaking Kagome awake.

"Mmm…Sango, Ayame? Is Mr. Ikashi still here?" Kagome asked a little groggy.

"Yes, he's still here. But I have to get going; my mom's calling me home for dinner…well actually she's in the parking lot. But I'll see you tomorrow. I hope you feel better. Sango, mom said your aunt called and said she wants you home as well; do you want a ride?" Ayame asked calmly.

"I guess; I'll see you tomorrow." Sango said as she and Ayame gently hugged Kagome.

"Ok; see you tomorrow." Kagome said softly as she hugged her best friends.

"Ok, let's see. Well, your fever is back; you're at 101.8…but your BP is normal. Your blood sugar is good as well. How are you feeling; how is your side? On a scale of one to ten, rate your pain; one being no pain and ten being severe." The nurse said looking directly at Kagome.

"…Eight…" Kagome said hesitantly.

"Ok. Well, you are due for some pain medication now…so let me get that for you. I'll be right back." The nurse said heading out of the room.

"I'm sorry…" Kagome said softly.

"It's ok; this isn't your fault…none of it is." Inuyasha said taking her hand in his, causing her to blush.

"But…if I had told someone where I was living or something, then maybe this wouldn't have happened." Kagome said sadly.

"And even if you did tell someone and made it home, he could've attacked you there; and maybe successfully raped you. And then you might not have been found and might've died. Then where would that leave me? I would've lost the most important person in my life. I rather it didn't happen at all. But since it down, I'm glad it happened this way and you were found and got another chance at life versus the other option." Inuyasha said seriously causing Kagome to cry a little.

"I love you so much and I'm soo sorry." Kagome cried, softly hiccupping here and there.

"I love you too." Inuyasha said seriously as he held her hands; he was going to kiss her forehead, but they heard the nurse coming back.

"Ok; I found you some oxycodone. Do you think you can swallow some pills today?" The nurse asked coming in with two pills and some water.

"Yes, I think so." Kagome said softly sitting up a little, wincing in pain.

The nurse gave her the pills and about fifteen or twenty minutes later Kagome was out like a light once again…
