Inuyasha lay sleeping on his bed peacefully. Next to him was the beautiful Kikyo. She started to stir in her sleep. She was ultimately unable to stay asleep for long because of the flood of sunlight that entered the room through the bedroom window. She slowly opened her eyes as she squinted because of the bright sun. She opened them a bit more until she was finally able to see. She sat up in bed as the sheet that covered her body fell revealing her beautiful breasts. She stretched her arms up in the air to get rid of the stiffness in her joints. Her tits bounced buoyantly as she quickly brought her arms down on her lap. Kikyo looked over beside her and saw her sleeping prince. She leaned in close to his ear so that he could whisper something.

"Wake up, baby. You've got classes to day." Kikyo said sweetly into his ear. He stirred and moaned in his sleep but he did not wake up. She leaned in again. "Come on baby. Wake up already." She said again. He did not wake up. He just turned over onto his belly and continued sleeping.

Suddenly, a smile came across her face as she looked at his face. She reached for his shoulder so that she could turn his over. Now that he was facing upwards, she could continue with her plan. She leaned in once more, but this time her target was not his ear but rather his lips. She leaned in closer and closer until she was finally at his lips. She gave his a passionate kiss. And just like that, Inuyasha woke up from his deep slumber.

She looked into his eyes and couldn't help but smile. "How did I know that you would wake up from that?" she asked playfully with a smile. Inuyasha looked confused and bewildered at the sight of Kikyo. "What's wrong baby?" she asked with some concern. There was a pause. Inuyasha just couldn't come up with the words.

"What are you doing here, Kikyo?" he finally asked.

"What are you talking about, silly? I'm your girlfriend. I'm supposed to be here." She said sweetly.

"You mean you didn't leave me for some other guy?" he said with a bit of doubt.

"Inuyasha!? What's gotten into you?" she asked amazed. She moved in closer to him "You and I both know that I would never leave you." She said with a soft kiss on his cheek. She moved away a bit. "Now get those silly thoughts out of your head."

"I'm sorry." He said innocently. "I guess it was all just a dream. It just seemed so real that's all." He said as he looked away.

"What dream was this?" she asked.

I just dreamt last night that Miroku caught you going out with some other guy and I found out about it. I felt so torn up inside. I never thought that a dream would cause so much pain." He explained.

"Now you're just being a silly puppy," she said as she looked deep in his eyes. She moved her lips to touch his, but as he was about to kiss his lover, the doorbell rang. "That just killed the mood," she said with frown.

"You should see your face," he said with a smile.

"Hushie!" She looked and sounded childish, but that just made her look so cute. "Stay here while I get the door." She said. She hopped off the bed and went to the cabinet. She opened it and pulled out one of Inuyasha's oversized shirts. She put it on to cover herself up. She then trotted out the bedroom door. From where he was Inuyasha heard the door open and close. He thought to himself that the person got the wrong apartment. But then he suddenly heard two sets of footsteps approaching the room.

"Who is it?" he asked from the room. Kikyo then walked in the room. Inuyasha saw another person barely outside the door but he couldn't see the man's face. The sunlight coming into the room from the window cast a shadow upon the door.

"I'm sorry, Inuyasha." She said with a sudden evil smile on her face. "But your dream wasn't wrong. It is over between you and me. I hope you have a nice life." She left the room with man and left the apartment with him, leaving Inuyasha to deal with the blow that he was just given. It didn't take long until the pain in his heart set in. In an instant a massive pain shot through his heart. He couldn't help but collapse from the pain. He beat his chest where he felt the pain in hopes that the pain would go away, but it didn't make a damn bit of difference. The pain only escalated. The pain in his heart rose to a point where his body could no longer take it. He passed out.

"CLEAR!!" shouted the doctor in charge of the emergency room. He prepped the two paddles by rubbing them together. He placed them onto Inuyasha's lifeless body. It took less than a second until the electricity entered his body causing his body to jump from the bed. His heart still was not beating. "No response in his cardiac activity." The doctor said to the rest of the staff around him. "Nurse, increase the voltage." He said to the nurse in charge of the defibrillator.

"Yes, sir." She replied. The nurse turned the dial in the machine, increasing the voltage by ten percent. "Voltage increased, doctor!" the nurse exclaimed over the commotion. The doctor prepped the paddles again.

"CLEAR!!" he shouted once again. He placed the two paddles on Inuyasha's body once more and it jumped off of the table as it did before. His heart still won't start. "Damn!" the doctor said with frustration. "If we don't get his heart to start soon, his brain will be severely damaged from the lack of oxygen."

"Should I increase the voltage again, doctor?" the nurse asked with her hand ready to turn the dial on the machine.

"NO!" said the doctor. "If we increase the voltage anymore than it is now, it could kill him! We just have to keep trying with the voltage that we have now!" He explained to the nurse. He prepped the paddles again. "CLEAR!!" he shouted again. The body jumped from the bed again but Inuyasha still lay motionless. "CLEAR!!" he said again. There was still no change in Inuyasha's condition. "CLEAR!!" the doctor said again. The body jumped from the bed again and landed just as it did several times before. This time, the difference is that they heard the heart monitor beep as soon as Inuyasha landed on the bed. His heart was beating again. His life was saved. He lay sleeping on the bed.

"That was way too close for comfort." The doctor said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Any later and we would be dealing with brain damage right now. Let's just hope he wakes up soon."

"Excuse me, doctor." The nurse behind him said.

"Yes, what is it?" he asked.

"I have the information you asked for."

"Good."

"His name is Inuyasha. He apparently has no last name. Inuyasha is his only name. That struck me as a little strange." The nurse said.

"Yes, that is a bit strange isn't it."

"He goes to Tokyo University as a third year, and lives in an apartment complex just outside of the main campus."

"Kazuki, teaches there. I'll give him a call later and inform him about Inuyasha," said the doctor. He took the information from the nurse and walked out of the emergency room. He made a left turn at the door and went straight down the hall and entered his office. He sat behind his desk and reviewed the background information that they got on Inuyasha. "He's the captain of the kendo team, huh," said the doctor with some guilt. "I just hope that those broken legs heal quickly." He reached for the phone and dialed the number of Kazuki Yamato. They're brothers. The phone started ringing.

The phone was picked up. "Hello?" the person on the other line said.

"Hello, Kazuki? This is Hiroshi," said Dr. Hiroshi.

"Hey! I haven't talked to you in a long time. How are you doing? What's the news lately?" said Mr. Yamato with a bit of joy in his voice.

"I've been fine. Listen. I called to tell you about one of the students there at the University," said Hiroshi. "You wouldn't happen to know a student called Inuyasha do you?"

"Yeah I do. He's in one of my biology classes. Why? Did something happen?" inquired Mr. Yamato with a trace of worry in his voice.

"He's in the emergency room right now as we speak."

"What happened to him?"

"He was involved in a car accident. He's in a stable condition right now, but he's in pretty rough shape."

"Did he break any bones?" asked Mr. Yamato with a lot of worry.

"He broke both his legs, but the fractures are only minor ones. He should be able to have full use of his legs in about two or three months."

"That's terrible news. Did you know that he's the captain of the kendo team?" asked Kazuki.

"Yeah I do. The hospital ran a background check on him. It's a shame."

"Do you think he'll recover fast enough to play in the regional championship if the team reaches the playoffs without him?" asked Mr. Yamato.

"That all depends on when the championship is."

"It's in about three and a half months"

"He'll probably be okay to compete but I don't think he'll be of any use since he'll be out of shape."

"I see your point," Mr. Yamato responded. "Well, I gotta go. I got something cooking in the oven. I'll talk to you soon. Thanks for telling me about this. I'll be the one to inform the school tomorrow."

"Thanks. I'll talk to you soon." They both put the phones down and resumed with their day.

Kagome's Apartment:

Kagome, Sango and Miroku arrived at the apartment about a little less than an hour ago. It was already pretty late. The trip home took hours longer than usual. There was the afternoon rush and there were a couple accidents in the downtown area. When they arrived, Kagome was still sleeping in the backseat of Sango's car. Miroku had no choice but to carry Kagome to her room. As of right now, Kagome is still taking her nap in her room while Sango and Miroku sat in the living room together while they talked over a cup of tea.

"Do you think Inuyasha's okay?" Sango asked.

"I'm not really sure at all. This is the first time I ever saw him this rattled. I don't really know what to expect," Miroku answered truthfully.

"You weren't supposed to tell the truth, dummy," Sango said.

"I wasn't?" he asked a little dumbfounded.

"No. You were supposed to lie and say that everything is gonna be alright, and make me feel better."

"I'm sorry," he said. There was a brief pause in their conversation. "I'm sure that everything is going to be okay. He's probably home right now having dinner or something," he said kind of forced. It was obvious that he didn't mean what he said.

"It's no use telling me now that I know what you really think, dummy!" She paused and looked down at her cup. "It was sweet of you to try and make me feel better though," she said with a blush.

"Don't mention it. I was glad to do it. " He said with a big smile on his face. There was a bit of an awkward silence between them when Miroku stopped talking. "Is Kagome gonna be okay?" Miroku said finally.

"I really don't know. I wanna say that she will be, but I'm not really sure." Sango said with some regret.

"Has she ever been like this before?" asked Miroku curiously.

"Yeah. She usually got like this after a guy she went out with tried to use her for sex or something like that. This is something different though."

"Different? How so?"

"She's taking it harder than she ever did. I think that she really, really liked Inuyasha," Sango said.

"Yeah, I got the same signals from the two of them." Miroku looked down at his watch and acknowledged the time. It was ten o'clock. He placed his tea cup on the table. "I think it's time I left. It's getting kinda late, and I have an early class tomorrow."

"I understand. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Okay then, I'll see you at practice."

"Practice?" she asked with a bit of doubt. "You really think that Inuyasha will be back tomorrow?"

"Of course. That guy will never miss a practice for anything." He said as he was walking towards the door. He turned around and said his goodnight.

"Goodnight," she said in return.

Just as he was outside the door with her just behind him, he turned around to face her. "I almost forgot something."

"What's that?" she said.

"This." He bent down a bit and gave Sango a soft peck on her right cheek. He caught her completely off guard. She was just standing there with a look of shock and amazement on her face. She was blushing. "Goodnight," he said again, this time with a bigger smile on his face. He walked out the door and closed it. Sango stood there in front of the door for a while in order to regain her composure.

"I guess he does have a sweet side to him," she said to herself with a smile as she held her cheek.

Sango finally moved from the door and walked down the hall towards Kagome's room. Sango was worried about so she wanted to check up on her. She opened the door and saw that Kagome was sitting on her bed as she hugged her oversized pillow. Kagome saw Sango enter her room.

"It's not fair to him, Sango. It just wasn't." Kagome said without looking up at Sango.

"I know it wasn't, but what can we do?" Sango asked as she sat on the bed. "There really are people like that in this world."

"How could she do it? Inuyasha is one of the nicest guys out there. He didn't deserve that."

"No he didn't, but we can't change what already happened. All we can do now is to be supportive."

"You're right. But the hardest part tomorrow is facing him."

"I know, but someone has to do it."

Kagome did not sleep very well that night. All the motions that surrounded the day were still in her mind. She still thought of Inuyasha and worried whether or not he was okay. That morning, she was rather sluggish from her lack of sleep, but she got ready for school on time just the same. She and Sango arrived at the school earlier than usual that day. They wanted to see Inuyasha and talk to him before classes started, but they had no such luck. Inuyasha was nowhere to be found that morning.

Sango and Kagome went to their respective classes when the time came. Kagome entered her History class and was surprised not to see Inuyasha there.

"He's probably gonna come in late today. I don't blame him," she said to herself. So when Inuyasha didn't show up at all during class, Kagome just kept telling herself the same thing. "Inuyasha was just coming to school late, that's all."

History class ended so Kagome made her way towards Mr. Yamoto's biology class. At this point, she was getting more and more worried about Inuyasha. There were all these thoughts flowing into her head that just added worry and anxiety to her. "What if he committed suicide? What if he quit school and ran away? What if he turned to a life of crime?" All these absurd thoughts and more ran through head.

Kagome entered the classroom and headed straight to her seat. She didn't even say hi anybody. She was just that worried about Inuyasha. A few moments later, Mr. Yamato entered the room. Almost instantly, the atmosphere in the room became so much more ominous to Kagome.

"Okay class, let's be seated. I have some grave news to announce," Mr. Yamoto said. The second he uttered those words, Kagome's heart sank. She was scared to death about what the news was. Once everybody took their seats, Mr. Yamoto started his announcement. "As you all have noticed, Inuyasha isn't here today and he probably won't be for another month or so."

"What happened!??!" Kagome asked with surprise and horror.

"I was just getting to that, Kagome. Please calm down," he said to her. "Inuyasha was involved in a violent car accident yesterday afternoon." There was a collective gasp that went through the room. The loudest came from Kagome. She had tears in her eyes now. "He was involved in a collision with a pick-up truck in an intersection downtown."

"Will he be alright?" Kagome asked as she stood up

"It doesn't look good," he said with a grim look on his face. "According to my brother, who is the doctor in charge of him, his condition worsened over night, and now he's in a coma." Kagome felt her legs weaken and she almost collapsed onto the floor. "On top of that, both of his legs are fractured. It's just a shame that he won't be able to play kendo for a long time," he said with some remorse.

"Where is he being treated?" Kagome asked.

"He's recovering at the Tokyo Hospital as we speak. You guys should visit when you can," he replied. With that answer, Kagome just picked up all of her things and ran out of the door. A couple of her friends tried to stop her, but she wouldn't listen to reason. Mr. Yamoto stretched out his hand to stop her friends. "Just let her go," Mr. Yamoto said. "I can tell that she's taking it harder than anyone."

She ran down the empty hall and opened the door to the stairwell. She dangerously sprinted down the stairs to the ground floor. She bolted to the front doors and out into the open air. She just really needed to be outside at the moment. She collected her thoughts with tears in her eyes. After a while, she realized that she really needed to see Inuyasha as soon as possible. She reached inside her purse and pulled out her cell phone. She quickly looked for Sango's number and waited for her to pick up her phone.

"Hello?" Sango answered.

"We have to go now!!" Kagome said panic-stricken.

"Kagome?" Sango said unsure. "What the heck are you talking about?"

"No time to explain; just meet me at the car."

"Slow down, and tell me what's going on." Sango heard Kagome take a deep breath over the phone. She took a couple more until she felt a bit calmer. "Are you okay now?" Sango asked.

"Yeah."

"Good. Now tell me what's happening. Where do we have to go?"

"The hospital." Kagome answered.

"Why?"

"Mr. Yamoto announced in class, that Inuyasha is in the hospital right now. He's in a coma, Sango."

"Oh my god!" Sango exclaimed. "What happened?"

"He said that Inuyasha was in a car accident yesterday afternoon. He was admitted to the Tokyo Hospital yesterday."

"Say no more. I'll call Miroku and we'll meet you at the car."

"Thanks, Sango."

"Don't thank me. He's my friend too." With those final words Sango hung up, and Kagome immediately headed for the car. She waited there for about five minutes until she saw the two jogging towards her. Kagome waved towards them. Sango immediately unlocked the car doors when she was near enough. Kagome opened the back seat doors and climbed inside. Sango took the driver's seat while Miroku took the front passenger seat.

As soon the three got settled Kagome said: "Drive as fast as you can, Sango." Not a word was said after that. They drove in silence.

The whole trip to the hospital took about an hour due to the many traffic lights and cars. They had a hard time finding a parking spot when they entered the hospital grounds. Kagome grew very frustrated at that point in time. When they finally found a spot, they just ran towards the hospital lobby. Once they entered through the lobby doors, they headed straight to the information desk. An elderly woman reading a magazine was the one in charge at the desk.

"We're looking for the room of a patient here. His name's Inuyasha." Kagome asked the lady breathlessly. The lady didn't even look up at Kagome to acknowledge that she was there. She just kept reading her magazine. "Excuse me, ma'am." Kagome said a bit frustrated. The woman gave no response. "Excuse me!" Kagome almost screamed. "We're looking for the room of Inuyasha. Can you help us?" Kagome asked with malice.

The old lady finally looked up at Kagome. "If you want to grab my attention, you have to ring that bell there," she said.

"I'll keep that in mind bu-" Kagome was again ignored by the lady as she went back to reading her magazine. At this point, both Miroku and Sango grew extremely frustrated as well. Sango approached the desk and pounded the tiny bell with her fist.

"Are you happy now, you old hag!?!?" shouted Sango. The old lady finally put her magazine down and looked up at the trio.

"Can I help you?" she asked innocently. Kagome and Sango almost gave in to the temptation to hit her, but they fought back their urges.

"Are you fucking kidding!?!?" Miroku blasted. "You know damn well why we're here!!"

"Could you kindly repeat your request," the lady said with a twisted smile. Miroku was about to punch the lady in the face but Kagome stopped him.

"We're looking for Inuyasha's room, please," she asked through gritted teeth.

"He's up in room 322." The three started to head to the elevators when they were stopped by the old lady. "Where are you three going? You can't go up there without a visitor's pass." They walked back fighting the urge to viciously murder her. As soon as they reached the desk again, she handed them three forms to fill out. They each grabbed one and filled them out. They handed the forms back to the lady when they finished and she each gave them a visitor's pass in return.

"Do we need anything else!?" Miroku asked bitterly.

"Nope." They just walked away towards the elevator.

As the three friends walked away from the desk and entered the elevator Miroku said: "Guys, do me a favor and not send me to this hospital if I get hurt. I feel like I'll just get worse if I'm in here."

"Sure thing," Sango said with a chuckle.

The ride up to the third floor took excruciatingly long for them especially Kagome. She was the one who breathed a sigh of relief when the elevator bell rang even though she was the most anxious one among them. When the doors slid open, the three jumped out into the hallway towards room 322. They first saw room was 312 and a few doors down, they passed room 314. They were headed in the right direction. As they passed more and more doors the more the anxiety rose; this was especially true for Kagome. The closer they got, the more images of Inuyasha in terrible conditions popped into the imaginations of Kagome, Sango, and Miroku. They passed room 320. Only one room to go.

They finally found the door to room 322. They stood still in front of it. They were apprehensive to open the door. They didn't know what to expect to see when they opened it. They feared that what lay in store for them may not be what they want to see. In the end, it was Kagome who gained enough courage to reach for the knob and turn it. She pushed the door open and they saw who lay inside. The silver hair was unmistakable. It was definitely Inuyasha. It was him. There were just many bandages added to him that's all.

Kagome, Sango, and Miroku all moved towards Inuyasha's bed. Kagome was the first one to reach him. She saw all the tubes that were going inside his body, and all of the bandages that covered him. She couldn't help but have a tear in her eye. She traced her fingers down Inuyasha's right arm until she reached his hand. She gripped his hand tightly and then she just started crying. Sango embraced her.

"He shouldn't be like this, Sango," Kagome cried. "He doesn't deserve this at all!"

"I know, I know," Sango sighed.

"Don't worry, Kagome." Miroku interrupted. "I'm sure he'll wake up soon. I promise. Inuyasha is tougher than you give him credit for."

"He's right you know." Sango said. "He will wake up soon, but right now, all we can do now is wait for him to open his eyes again." Kagome nodded to the two of them and then wiped her tears away from her eyes and cheeks. Then she smiled.

"Thanks guys," Kagome said smiling.

Naraku's Apartment:

"Shit! The drugs are wearing off again. I just gave her some last night. I guess her body becoming immune to it little by little." Naraku thought to himself. He headed for the kitchen while Kikyo was in the bathroom. He crouched down when he reached the tile. He removed it and reached down into his hiding place. He took out the bottle and saw that there was only one pill left in it. "Damn, I'm out! I should give this to her now and then get more of this stuff from him later." He took the pill out and mixed it in some coffee just as he did the night before. He took the cup and walked out of the kitchen and towards the bathroom. He noticed that the shower was no longer running. He knocked on the door twice.

"Babe, I have the coffee that you asked for here on the table, just drink it when you want to. I have to go out and do something."

"Okay…sure," Kikyo said rather dazed. Naraku walked towards the closet in the room and opened it. He put on one of his thinner coats and walked out the room, grabbing his keys on the way out. He opened the front door and walked out into the sunlit day. He unlocked the car with his remote and entered by the driver-side door. He started the engine then backed out of the parking lot. He then drove towards the direction of the Tokyo slums.

He arrived there. He passed many rundown buildings. Many had broken windows and are covered in graffiti art. He saw some beggars huddling at some street corner. He stopped at a traffic light. He looked to his left and saw an alley. There was a girl "servicing" a man with her mouth. He saw that the man ejaculated in her mouth and then he looked away. That kind of thing is not at all surprising in this part of town. He drove off and saw more of the same things. After a few moments of driving, he spotted the place he was looking for.

The building was in better condition than all the rest. Above the door was a garish neon sign that was lit even in the day. It simply said "Pussy Palace". Naraku parked his car by the roadside and got out of his car. He entered the building and he was met by a mist of cigarette smoke and colorful strobe lights. He walked further inside. As he walked with peanut shells cracking under his feet, he was harassed by overly drunk strippers. He was tempted by them all, but he turned them all away. He kept walking further inside until he saw a man seated at the bar with a large beer mug in his right hand. The man wore a black leather coat with matching black pants. He had his slick black hair tied up in a ponytail. In addition to that, he was wearing a sweatband made out of what seemed like fur. Naraku thought of it as a little strange. Naraku walked up to him and tapped his shoulder. The man turned around and saw him standing there.

"Naraku. What are you doing here? You need more of that shit don't ya?"

"Yeah, I ran out."

"So soon? I gave you a two month supply of that stuff."

"I kinda used double each time she needed a refill. She was more obedient, but she seems to be becoming immune to it."

"You dumbass!! Of course she's gonna be more immune. You used twice the dosage so her immune system is gonna become stronger against it." The man reprimanded.

"My bad!" Naraku said stupidly. "Do you have anything stronger than that?"

"Sure I do; let's go out back and talk business." The man in black snapped his fingers and two muscle-bound men behind Naraku immediately stood up. They were part of the man's posse no doubt. Two of them grabbed Naraku by his arms and followed the leader out the back door. Once they were out the door, the two men dropped Naraku in front of the ringleader. The man clad in black pulled a bottle out of his jacket pocket. "Here it is," the man said with a smile. "This shit does all the same things the old stuff did, but it's three times as strong. And as an added bonus, it's addictive to the user. It's really expensive. Not to mention that it's very illegal. I'll probably be sent to death row just for having it."

"How much do you want for it?" Naraku asked with great interest.

"Hold up. If you're that interested, it's three times more expensive. This bottle here is gonna cost you 100,000 yen," the man sneered. "Not only that, but if I give it to you, you have to work for me. It's a little insurance. I can't risk you getting caught and getting me into trouble."

"Fuck! If it's that illegal, screw you then." Naraku retorted.

"I'm sorry you feel that way. However, now that you know that this stuff actually exists, I can't risk you telling anyone about it." He snapped his fingers again and pointed towards Naraku. The same two guys grabbed him and held him still. Naraku tried to break free, but the two guys were just too powerful. The man in black pounced towards Naraku with wolf-like reflexes. Before Naraku knew it, the man had his hands around his head, and in less than a second, everything just went dark for him.

The man twisted Naraku's head with such great force that his neck snapped with a sickening crack. His body just fell limp in between the two thugs. They let go of the body, and just let it fall to the concrete.

"What do we do with the body, Koga?" one of the henchmen asked pointing to the body.

"We dump it in Tokyo Bay, of course."
