After thought after Italics,- Thinking.

So Long As You Need It...

Kagome winced as she put weight on her recovering leg, it was her third physical therapy session. She had been in the hospital now for two weeks. Her leg was becoming better faster than expected, because of her miko powers, and she could walk now, but not for too long a time.

Inuyasha watched her from off to the side. He came to see her while she was in the hospital almost everyday. He usually watched her with her session, like today. In a couple of more weeks, maybe sooner, she'd be back in school with whoever did this to her. Inuyasha growled at that thought. He'd find whoever did this to her.

Kagome's therapist clapped. "Excellent, Kagome! You're recovering better than expected! You should be back in school in no more than a week."

Kagome smiled. "That'd be great. I hate hospitals."

The therapist laughed. "Dont we all? Well, Im going to lunch, take care." She said, walking away.

Kagome nodded and turned to Inuyasha, who smiled at her. "Well, we should get you back to your room." He said.

Kagome nodded. "Yeah. I hate these crutches." She said. Inuyasha chuckled, as he grabbed her crutches and picked her up bridal style.

"Hey! Who said you could do that?!" She yelled, as he walked down the halls with her squirming in his arms.

Inuyasha laughed. "Calm down. It's not like I'd drop you or anything." He teased.

Kagome's eyes widened. "You'd better not!"

"Oh but I will."

"Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha flattened his ears against his head. "Ah! Damn it, woman! I wont drop you!" He yelled, as he turned the corner and got on the elevator.

"Like I can really trust you now." Kagome said, pouting. Inuyasha shook his head as the elevator doors closed.

"Whatever, emo wench." He said, as he watched the buttons light up with every new floor.

Kagome finally relaxed in his hold. "When can I finally leave this place? Jii-chan's already pissed that Im missing so much school."

Inuyasha shrugged. "Whenever you can walk for more than five minutes."

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Whatever, dog-boy." Kagome said, managing to finally roll out of his arms as they entered her hospital room.

"Dog-boy? I thought I was 'prep'?" Inuyasha asked, plopping down in a chair right next to Kagome's bed.

Kagome smirked. "Oh, you're that too."

Inuyasha threw her crutches on the ground and relaxed more in the chair. "You should practice with those, when you're feeling up to it. They might send you back to school on crutches."

Kagome rolled her eyes as she hopped over to her bed and plopped down it.

She turned over on her side, so that she would be facing Inuyasha.

"How's Kouga?" She said, barely above a whisper.

Inuyasha growled. "What do you wanna know about him, for? You'd think you would have dropped the guy by now."

Kagome frowned. "Well, it is because of me that he's even here. And, he's still my boyfriend."

Inuyasha felt his heart sink before he growled again. "It's part way because of him that you're here."

Kagome scowled and brung her fist down on the bed. "Just tell me how he's doing, dammit!"

"Why do you spend your time worrying about him?!"

"Why are you butting in my business?!!"

"Cause' I want to!"

"Cause' I want to!" Kagome yelled.

Inuyasha growled. "Im just trying to help you!"

"No, you aren't! You're trying to keep me isolated from the world!"

"I am not!"

"Are too!"

"Not!"

"Too!"

"Not!!!"

"TOO!!"

Inuyasha stood up abruptly and grabbed his coat. "You help yourself out, emo wench." He said, grabbing his hat as well and walking out of the room.

Kagome sat back against the bed, with her arms folded and lips formed in a pout.

"Stupid prep..."

Inuyasha sat in his Spanish class. In fact he sat right next to Kikyou.

Myoga ranted on about how to say customary greetings in Spanish.

"And that, you retarded little shits, is how you say 'good morning' in Spanish. You'll be tested on that!"

Inuyasha sighed as Kikyou kept playing with the long braid he had his hair in. It had been 5 days since he last saw Kagome, and since their argument. It had been really awful for him. He had been wondering about her condition and if she had gotten better or worse.

"Inu-poo, what's the matter? Why aren't you talking?" Kikyou asked, twirling his braid around.

Inuyasha sighed. "Nothing. Nothing at all." He said, leaning back into Kikyou's hands more.

Kikyou smirked and continued to play with his hair. "It'd better not be anything like a goth. A particular girl goth."

Inuyasha quirked a brow. "Why would you say that?" Something's not right here.

Kikyou froze, then continued the petting of his hair. "Oh, no reason. I was just kidding around." She said, chuckling nervously.

Inuyasha quirked his other brow, as he reached his hand back and with the tip of his claw, swiped one hand down the braid. The braid came loose and his hair was out and down his back like it was most of the time.

Miroku threw a pencil at him from behind him. Inuyasha yelped from the hit, and gave Miroku an annoyed and questioning look.

Miroku snickered. "Dude, did you hear who's back?"

"Who?"

Just then the bell rang, and everyone got up to leave.

Imagine if the pillow that you cried on was my chest,

Inuyasha and Miroku walked out. Sango and Shippo weren't there that day.

"So, who's back?" Inuyasha asked, as he threw his books into his locker.

Miroku smiled. " Well, it's-

"Me."

Is what Inuyasha heard from behind him. He whipped around to see Kagome standing there. On crutches.

The tissue that you wiped your face with, was my hand.

"Kagome! What are you doing here?! You should be in the hospital!" Inuyasha yelled.

Kagome scowled. "Inuyasha, Im fine! I walk on crutches fine, and Im fit to be in school."

"You cracked a bone! No you're not!" Inuyasha yelled.

Miroku chuckled nervously. "Inuyasha maybe you shouldn't yell so loud. You know what, never mind, Im going to class." He said, zipping off down the hall.

Kagome turned back to Inuyasha.

Imagine if you needed advice about some other guy, Im the one that comes to mind!

Inuyasha growled. "Kagome, you really shouldn't be here."

Kagome frowned. "Im fine. Besides, what are you trying to pull, anyway? I told you Im fine. I even have pain-killers with me."

Inuyasha growled. "Im not trying to pull anything! Im trying to be a good friend!"

"Well your doing a rotten ass job of it!" She yelled, turning around and practically strutting down the hallways.

Inuyasha sighed. He'd done it again.

333333333333333333333333333333333333333

It was after lunch and time to go back to class, Inuyasha walked down the hallways, heading for Physics.

Im not tryna hear you tell nobody that Im just a friend.

He was still thinking about his fight with Kagome. Maybe he shouldn't have yelled. But then again, she shouldn't have come to school with her leg still slightly fractured. Pain-killers or not.

Just trying to make sure Im that body that you call your man.

Inuyasha had reached the stairs when he heard a familiar voice, groan...

333333333333333333333333333333333333333

Kagome turned the corner on her crutches. Her leg was hurting and she had just took some painkillers. She was coming from a teachers room and needed to get down stairs. She didn't feel like taking the elevator.

She reached the staircase and and her vision blurred a little bit. She disregarded it as she started to hobble down the stairs. Her vision blurred some more, and she fell forward with a groan. Damn painkillers and their side-affects.

3333333333333333333333

Inuyasha gasped. "Kagome!" He yelled, as he ran forward and caught the crippled girl, and her crutches fell to the ground next to them. Kagome had ended up falling against his chest and she quickly snapped to it.

"I-Inuyasha?" She said.

Inuyasha sighed with relief. "You're alright. I told you you shouldn't have today."

Kagome looked surprised. "You're not mad at me?"

It was Inuyasha's turn to look surprised. "Mad? I was worried more than anything."

I wanna be the last one that you cal late at night,

Kagome smiled. "Im glad. I dont like to fight with you."

Inuyasha smiled. "That's good to hear. We should get you to the Nurse's office or something."

Kagome yawned. "Sure, whatever you want." She said in her careless goth voice.

The first one that you dial when you open your eyes,

Inuyasha nodded. "Glad you agree with me." He said, hoisting her up on his back.

"Inuyasha, why did you help me back there? Especially after all that."

Wanna be the one you run to,

Inuyasha shook his head. "Kagome no baka."

Wanna be the one that aint gonna hurt you,

Kagome quirked a brow. "What? What'd I say?"

I wanna be the guy that's making all your girls jealous,

Inuyasha smiled.

"I'll help you so long as you need it."

Cheesy, but cute. Hehe. Next chapter, less cuteness, and more drama. Oooh. Wonder what that's gonna be? Only I know! Review, and keep a lookout for the next chapter of 'Can You Help Me?' Entitled: For You
