Chapter 9: The Outcome of the Accident

AN: I'm mad! I didn't even get more than 14 reviews! So I didn't keep my promise; sue me! I haven't updated in over two months and I think that's a little unfair. So here it is! ENJOY!!!

Disclaimer: In case I forget to put disclaimers on every one of my chapters, I would like to say that I do not own any bit of Inuyasha. He does not belong to me no matter which chapter he being written about in.

The truck was heading straight towards Kagome. There was absolutely no way the driver could see her while she was lying on the street like that. Inuyasha didn't know what to do. He did all he could think of. He sprinted across the street and stood right in front of the truck…

The next day in school, neither Inuyasha nor Kagome were there. Sango and Miroku were worried. They were angry at first because the couple never came to opening night, forcing them to play the parts of Romeo and Juliet. As the day went by, their anger declined.

In the next class, Sango and Miroku were going to find out what their grades were on the play. They were dreading it horribly.

"Alright class, settle down. I know you wish to know your grades on the project. Therefore, the first thing we are going to do is share grades. If you have any questions, comments, or criticism, please feel free to keep them to yourself. My grades are final." The teacher went down his list, calling out every name of every group and telling them their grades. The groups that had the best performances had low grades. The better the performances, the lower the grades were. Sango and Miroku were confused. None of this made any sense to them. Even Koga was flustered, which is not uncommon to him.

"Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha, Kagome, and Koga; you have received a B+. This is the highest grade in the class. Congratulations." was the only thing the teacher said about their project. This grade made Koga happy for he hardly ever receives a B, let alone a B+. Kagome would freak out over this grade, somewhat similar to the way Sango was doing now. Miroku didn't mind, and Inuyasha wouldn't care.

After class, Sango and Miroku stayed after to ask the teacher why they had received such a high grade when their performance lacked professionalism.

"You're scenes were the most creative and original. You were the only group to alter the dialogues just enough to keep its original significance. The other groups showed great professionalism and well-rehearsed acting, but your groups showed creativity and originality. If you think there is something wrong with my grading methods, as I said before, keep your comments to yourself. You are dismissed." said the teacher.

Kagome was sent to the nearest hospital after the accident. Inuyasha gathered what little strength he had and carried her there. He had suffered a great deal of pain when hit by the truck. Fortunately, the truck driver saw him and attempted to hit the break. This allowed Inuyasha to suffer only a mild helping of the trucks force, and Kagome to suffer none of it.

Sango and Miroku reached the hospital as soon as school let out. They had no idea what had happened. All they knew was that both Kagome and Inuyasha had been in an accident and were admitted to the hospital. At least, that is what Souta had said on the phone.

"Kagome!" exclaimed Sango when she saw the dire state Kagome was in. She was told by the doctor her chances were scarce. She must stay in the hospital for a long while if she expects to have a full recovery.

"Miroku, do you think Kagome will die?" she asked.

Miroku looked at how weak and vulnerable Sango seemed. All of his lechery left him. "No. She's much too strong to die. I don't even think Inuyasha would ever let her die," comforted Miroku.

Inuyasha's state was no better than Kagome's. He was expected to stay in the hospital in order to have a full recovery. Both Sango and Miroku were worried. They had found out that Inuyasha and Kagome were on their way to the play when they were hit by the vehicles. They didn't bail on them. They had other problems to deal with besides the play.

Meanwhile, Sesshomaru had heard what had happened to Inuyasha. He didn't feel all that obligated to go to the hospital and check on his little brother, but it seemed like that right thing to do. He and his girlfriend went to the hospital.

When Sesshomaru saw how Inuyasha looked, he automatically sensed a type of pride and then shame. The pride was for how Inuyasha was willing to risk his life to save a helpless woman, just as he would do in the army. The shame was for how he had fought with Kagome in the first place and gotten himself in to such a situation.

Inuyasha regained consciousness a few hours later, to find Sesshomaru and his girlfriend. "So, this is the woman with the phone huh? Your girlfriend?" asked Inuyasha at the sight of the mysterious woman standing in the corner.

"How the hell do you know about her and her lost phone?" asked Sesshomaru.

Inuyasha smirked. Kagome and I found her phone. You called twice. We just put two and two together and assumed. We were right. So what her name?" asked Inuyasha with a wince. The pain had not completely subsided yet.

"It's Kagura." was all Sesshomaru said.

"Well, nice to meet you, Kagura," said Inuyasha, looking past his brother at Kagura.

"Likewise, I'm sure. How are you? You look like you are in pain," she replied.

"I'm hanging in there." said Inuyasha. "Hey where's Kagome?" said Inuyasha, directing the question towards his brother.

"I have no clue. Why don't you stop worrying about her and get some rest. She should be fine. After all, you did divert that truck from crushing her." said Sesshomaru.

Leave it up to Sesshomaru to make Inuyasha feel even worse than before. Now Inuyasha was too worried to rest. How was Kagome, really? Was she even alive?

AN: Alright, Sesshomaru's girlfriend is Kagura. A couple of you guys knew all along, I know you did. Inuyasha will become sensitive from now on. He will have to deal with Kagome's struggle to stay alive. If you guys know any non-permanent medical deficiencies that Kagome and/or Inuyasha could/should have, please say so in your reviews. Thanks for reading. I'll try to update ASAP, but don't coulnt on it being updated that soon. SORRY :(
