Forks in the Road


"Kagome's unconscious. She wouldn't even know you're there," Sesshomaru stated, his anger slowly dissipating.

"I have a mate, Sesshomaru!" Shouted Inuyasha. "I can't just go running to someone who was… somewhat like a girlfriend. You wouldn't understand, being that you're emotionally challenged when it comes to girls."

"Just because I haven't found someone suitable for a mate doesn't mean that I'm emotionally challenged."

"It's been five hundred years. I think that's long enough to find the right girl."

"Obviously, it isn't."

A soft knock at the door interrupted the conversation.

"Come in!" Inuyasha shouted.

Yaone walked in. "I heard… oh, Sesshomaru!" she said with surprise. "Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt."

"You're not interrupting. I was just leaving," Sesshomaru replied and then left the study.

"What was that about?" Yaone asked, walking over to Inuyasha.

"Nothing," he replied as he turned toward the window, looking out over the sprawling lawn, deep in thought. Dew was already collecting on the tips of the grass, shining in the moon light. He didn't know what to do. His heart ached to see Kagome. The mention of her name stirred feelings in him that he had thought no longer existed. It would be best for everybody involved if Kagome believed him dead, instead of knowing he hadn't waited for her. What would Yaone say if he went running to Kagome's side?

A gentle hand placed on his shoulder brought him out of his thoughts.

"What's wrong?" Yaone asked with concern.

With his back still turned, Inuyasha sighed before he answered, "Kagome's in the hospital, in critical condition."

"You have to go to her."

Inuyasha turned to face Yaone, surprised."What?"

"Everything the two of you shared. You need to go to her. I've always been opposed to your not seeing her but never said anything."
