The Past Four Days

Sesshomaru drank the first night and winded up at the hospital in Kagome's room, the next night he drank himself to sleep in his home. The third night he drank and fell asleep but he woke up from nightmares of the day he lost Kagome, and tore his whole room to shreds. The fourth night Kagome still had not woke up, Sesshomaru went to the hospital and sat with her all night, he had fallen asleep before midnight, since he hadn't been sleeping lately and he was tired emotionally and physically. Shortly after midnight Kagome started waking up, Sesshomaru had his hand on top of her hand and his head laying on the side of the bed. When her hand started moving he slowly woke up, she looked around and felt the breathing tube down her throat, she gave him a wide eyed look, he called the nurse's station,

"Ms. Higurashi is awake, she wants the breathing tube out now," Sesshomaru strongly.

"We'll be right there," the nurse's voice coming through the speaker,

"Calm down Kagome, the nurse and doctor are on their way in," Sesshomaru softly, Kagome blinked and calmed down.

"You have been out for four days," Sesshomaru strongly, as he stood at the end of her bed,

"Good to see you are awake Ms. Higurashi, lets get this tube out hm," the doctor gently and carefully removing the tube. Kagome rolled a little and coughed,

"Now, Ms. Higurashi, even though the tube is gone we are still going to have a breathing tube in your nose, just to make things easier on you, would you like some water?" the doctor asked.

"Yes, please," Kagome whispered, the doctor nodded for the nurse to go out and get the water,

"Kagome, you were brought into this hospital by Mr. Takahashi, you have him to thank for your life, had your family waited for an ambulance you would not be here now, are you experiencing any depression recently?" the doctor asked.

"I have just had a hard time lately, that's all, I don't need any meds, I wont do it again," Kagome seriously,

"Well, before I can release you, you will have to agree to see a …" the doctor being interrupted,

"I don't need to see any head doctor," Kagome's voice straining to scream.

"Now, now, Ms. Higurashi, your throat is going to be a little raw from the tube being in there, its either the meds or the head doctor as you like to call it," the doctor walking away as the nurse came in with some water. The nurse raised Kagome's bed to where she was sitting up so she was sitting up,

"How are you feeling?" the nurse checking Kagome out,

"Tired, groggy a little sore, my head is spinning a little," Kagome whispered.

"It's because I raised the bed, just take a moment and breathe, I'm going to check with the doctor to see if you need anymore blood," the nurse explained, she sat the cup of water down by Kagome's bed, then left.

"You're a full blooded demon," Kagome whispered as she closed her eyes and breathed through the nose piece.

"Yes," Sesshomaru coming over to her bedside.

"I felt you," Kagome explained,

"You felt my aura, I imagine you know you're a miko?" Sesshomaru stated.

"Gramps told me, I imagine you saved me with your demonic speed," Kagome stated,

"You would be correct," Sesshomaru explained.

"Thank you for saving my life I guess," Kagome whispered as she licked her lips. Sesshomaru picked up the cup and lifted it up to her parched lips, she drank the water. The nurse came back in with another bag of blood and changed it out,

"Alright, I want you to rest and Mr. Takahashi, you need to make sure she drinks all that water," the nurse explained, she walked out.

"So can I see who you really are?" Kagome asked.

"Are you sure you can handle the true me?" Sesshomaru smirked,

"It's the least you can do since I am willing to believe you," Kagome softly,

"Very well," Sesshomaru thinking,

"Well?" Kagome waiting,

"Well, I will show you who I am but you have to give me your word that you will talk to me about why you tried to kill yourself," Sesshomaru explained.

"Why would I tell you?" Kagome narrowing her eyes,

"Because I may help you find the pieces you are missing from your life," Sesshomaru whispered. Kagome stared at him,

"I can give your doctor proof that you are seeing a head doctor as you like to call them," Sesshomaru strongly.

"Alright, I give you my word that I will talk to you about what's going on," Kagome rolling her eyes. Sesshomaru removed his ring, Kagome's eyes furrowed,

"You seem familiar, why do I think I have seen you before?" Kagome asked.

"I think I will start off slowly, I am Lord Sesshomaru," Sesshomaru giving her his name to see if she would recognize his name,

"You're the demon in the books," Kagome seriously,

"I am, I am the one who wrote those journals," Sesshomaru seriously, he put the ring back on,

"You mean you survived through centuries?" Kagome having a hard time believing all of it.

"Yes, I brought you the last journal that you didn't have, I have kept it all this time with me, there is one last journal before I tell you the truth of the journals, right now you will rest, you will start seeing me as your head doctor once a week and you will start telling me what you are so depressed about, for now you will sleep and rest," Sesshomaru giving her more water. Kagome laid back,

"I guess you find it stupid of me trying to kill myself, huh?" Kagome asked,

"You are just lost in your life, my friend that died, she tried the same thing but she, she did it for a stupid reason," Sesshomaru strongly as he gave her the last journal.

"Why did she do it for?" Kagome asked,

"Because she was in love with my brother, she found him and his first love, making physical contact and I found her in my lands bleeding from the wrists, I took her in and fixed her up, now she was stupid for trying to give up her life for some bastard who treated her without respect, but she was very loyal to him, she didn't care that he was a half breed, she loved him the way he was," Sesshomaru explained. Kagome yawned,

"I think I read about that in the books, Lord Sesshomaru, please stay with me, I don't like hospitals," Kagome trying to fall asleep on him,

"You need to finish your water," Sesshomaru explained as he helped her drink the rest of it.

"Thank you, please stay," Kagome grabbing his wrist.

"Alright, I'll call your mother in the morning, do you want me to lower your head?" Sesshomaru asked.

"I'm good thanks," Kagome giving him a small smile and falling asleep soon after.
