The days had turned into weeks and even months as Charlotte Higurashi came everyday and sat by her daughter. The doctors took Kagome off of the critical list. During this time Kagome's friends and family brought get well cards and flowers.
While Ayame stayed with Kagome, Mrs. Higurashi had left to take a break and get something to eat. While she was away Kagome woke up.
"What happened? How did I get here?" Kagome asked.
"There will be plenty of time for that, but right now I need to check you over." The doctor came into the room as Ayame stepped out and found her way to a phone and made a few calls.
End Of Recap"How long have I been in here? What happened?"
"Honey you have been in here close to three months. Do you remember anything?"
"I remember being at a party at a big building or house and there were alot of people. I decided to leave because the person I went with left my side due to his wife showing up. I remember getting in my car and driving as well as some lights coming up behind me fast."
"Is that all you can remember that happened?"
"Yes that is all that I remember. Oh my gosh I've been in here three months what happened about my job? Has anyone told my boss?"
"Your boss knows. Just worry about getting better."
"How long until she is able to leave the hospital?" Ayame asked.
"We will run some tests and see. Maybe in a few weeks to another few months." The doctor picked up his clip board and left. Around four o'clock a nurse came in with a tray with a bowl of jello, a bowl of ice cream, and a bowl of broth, and lastly a pitcher of water. She placed the tray in front of her.
"Is that all she gets?" Ayame asked.
"The doctor says light foods." Then the nurse left. Not long after the nurse left when someone else came into the room.
"How are doing sis?"
"Souta." Souta walked over and gave his sister a hug. "I guess that I am doing alright, but sore of course."
"It's great to see you awake Kagome." Came a voice from the doorway.
"Thank you Inuyasha." A half hour passed when the sound of a cell phone was heard.
"Hello? No Kikyou I'm not on my way home." Inuyasha paused. "Yes I'm off work, but I am at the hospital visiting a friend. Yes it is. You saw her at the 10th anniversary party." Then he paused again. "I will see you when I get home." He hung up the phone then turned off the ringer. As the night moved along a few other people stopped by but as it drew later everyone left so Kagome could rest.
Two days later the doctor came into Kagome's room and was now sitting on the edge of Kagome's bed taking her temperature and other things and writing the results down.
"You look well enough that these can come out." Miroku stood up and went over and brought a tray with gauze and surgical tape. He put on a pair of gloves and took ahold of the tape on her arm and loosened it. He then took a cotton ball and laid it over the needle and her skin then slowly pulled the needle out. He put presser on the cotton ball then lifted the cotton ball a little bit to see if it was still bleeding then took a clean one and had Kagome hold it while he got some tape and taped the cotton ball down. He talked to her a little more then left.
"Are you ready for your lunch?" A nurse came in with a tray and placed it in front of her. "Today you get to try a small salad, jello, a small bowl of fruit and a pitcher of ice water."
"Thank you." Kagome thanked the nurse then picked up her fork and slowly started eating the salad. When she was done with the salad she moved to the fruit but left the jello. "I've got to try and stand up. I can't take just sitting here." She pushed back the blankets and scooted to the edge of the bed and put her feet to the floor and gently pushed herself up but held onto the bed.
"Hmm that was not bad." She took a step and felt fine so she let go of the bed taking another step then another until she made it close to the wall then turned around and started back. As she slowly made her way back towards the bed her legs started to feel like jello and started to fall forward towards the floor. But she felt something go around her waist and helped her back to over to the bed.
"Should you be out of bed?" The voice said. Kagome looked at the person.
"No, but I could not sit there any longer. I had to stand up."
"You look better today." InuTaisho stated.
"What brings you here?" Kagome asked.
"I brought these over for you." InuTaisho turned to the seat and picked up the flowers that he put there when he saw her start to fall forward. He turned and handed the flowers to her.
"Thank you. They are beautiful." Kagome took and smelled them.
"I must return to work. I will come and visit with you again."
"Thanks for stopping by." She placed the flowers on the stand by the bed then scooted down in the bed as InuTaisho left and closed her eyes. As she drifted off to sleep she thought that she heard something but did not open her eyes. In the doorway to her room a tall person stood but then turned and left.
When two weeks were up Kagome was sitting on the edge of the bed signing some papers as a nurse came in pushing a wheelchair. While she signed the release forms the doctor was talking to her.
"Though you are leaving the hospital you are not to over do yourself. Continue to rest." Though the wheelchair was for her to ride in she slowly got off the bed and slowly walked towards the door still on wobbly legs but Inuyasha held her up as they left the room and the hospital. He drove her, Ayame and Mrs. Higuraashi over to Ayame's apartment. Getting to the apartment Kagome walked over and sat on the sofa.
"Look I've got to get back to work. I will stop by again."
"Thank you Inuyasha for helping." Ayame said.
"No problem." He walked out of the door.
"I've got to go to dear."
"Thanks mom. I'll call you later." Kagome said as her mother hugged her. Then her mother left.
"So what would you like to have for dinner? My treat."
"Hmm what sounds good?" Kagome sat there on the sofa thinking. "How about a giant sized pizza with everything on it." Ayame walked to the phone and called it in and a half hour later Ayame and Kagome were eating the pizza.
As the week days went by Kagome started getting bored sitting around the apartment not really doing anything, so this morning she went into her room and got her purse and headed out the front door. She took the bus over and got off a block away from Enchantment Of Delights and made her way over to the store. She walked in and back to Kaede's office.
"Hello Kaede. I came in to see when I would be able to start working again?"
"The schedule is full for the next two weeks, but when I make the new schedule then I could add you. Why don't you give me a call the middle of next week. Before you go, here is your check for the pay period before your accident." Kagome took the check from Kaede then walked out of the office and out of the store. Knowing she had a long wait until the bus came by again she made her way down the sidewalk enjoying being outside. Walking slowly she looked up at the street sign and saw that the street that Sango worked at was close so she headed for the street and the building. By the time she made it to the building she was tired but she walked up the steps to the door. Inside Sango heard the door open.
"Welcome to Taisho & Son Attorneys At Law. How may I… Kagome what are you doing here? You look tired."
"I could not stand staying home so I rode the bus and got off close to my work. I thought I would see when I could start working again. My boss told me to call next week to find out my days. I also got my check before I left. Seeing that I had a long wait for the bus I started walking and ended up here and yes I'm very tired as well as very thirsty."
"Let me get you something. You just sit there." Sango stood up and walked down the hall to the worker's lunch room and came back with a cup in her hand. "Here you are. Sorry the only thing back there is water."
"That will be fine, thank you Sango." Kagome took the cup and drank the water.
"Greetings Kagome." Kagome looked up to see Mr. Silvermoon walking down the hall towards Sango's desk. "What brings you here? Did your mother talk to you about asking for my help?"
"No mother and I didn't talk about that, sorry. I just decided to get out of that apartment for a while. I stopped at my work to see when I could start working again, but the schedule is filled for two weeks and I have to give Kaede a call next week to see about a schedule. Which means I am going to be really bored out of my mind."
"Why don't you come here in the morning and we can find you something to do until you get a schedule from your work place."
"That is very nice of you Mr. Silvermoon, but that is not very necessary I will do..." Kagome did not finished because Mr. Silvermoon placed the files he had in the box on the desk then turned and went back to his office.
"If you would like you could wait here until I am off work and you don't have to ride the bus." Sango looked at Kagome.
"Are you sure that will be alright?"
"Very sure. Now would you like to help me by doing some filing or typing or even sorting and putting these messages in Mr. SIlvermoon's box and in Mr. Sesshoumaru Silvermoon's box?"
"Guess I can put the messages in the boxes then put the files away for you." Sango handed the messages to Kagome and she walked over and put them in the boxes. "Looks like someone has not gotten his messages at all today."
"Sesshoumaru has been out of the office all morning. He has been at the courthouse in a court hearing." Sango finished saying as Kagome came over and picked up the files that needed to be put away. After the files were put up she came back over and sat in a chair next to Sango. "You look tired. Why don't you go back to the lunch room and lay down on the sofa and take a nap." Kagome didn't put up a fight but instead she agreed and walked back to the lunch room and laid down. Sango went to the lunch room and woke Kagome when it was time to go home. By the time Sango drove up to the apartment with Kagome it was starting to get dark. Kagome and Sango were greeted by Ayame.
"There you are! I thought something happened to you because when I got home you were not here so I called your mother to see if you were over there. She wants me to call her when I hear something." Kagome headed over to the phone and dialed.
Ringing
"Hello?"
"Hello mom it's me."
"Kagome where were you?"
"Sorry mom. I did not mean to worry you. I just stepped out and went to my work place to see when I could start working again then I walked down the street to Sango's place of work. While there Mr. Silvermoon offered me some work at the firm until my schedule starts up at my job."
"Is he going to be paying you for the work that you will be doing?"
"I'm pretty sure that he will. I've got to find some kind of extra work to be able to get a new vehicle."
"Just as long as you take it easy and don't over do it then I am happy. This Mr. Silvermoon seems to be a very nice man. I'll let you go honey. I have got to finish cooking dinner. Love you dear."
"Love you to mom." Kagome hung up the phone.
That evening when Sango had left to go home Kagome took a relaxing bath then she went to bed after setting out the clothes she was going to wear the next morning.
Kagome was up thirty minutes before the alarm clock went off and had bathed and gotten dressed and was in eating her breakfast when there came a knock on the door. She shovelled the last bite into her mouth then placed her bowl in the sink and grabbed her purse and walked over to the door and opened it. When she opened the door she expected to see Sango but did not see anyone. She went to walk out of the apartment when her foot hit something so she looked down and saw a medium sized envelope. She bent over and picked the envelope up and noticed that there were no name on it but she could feel that there was something in the envelope. As she started to turn to go into the apartment when she heard someone coming up the stairs.
"Morning Kagome. Are you ready to go?" Kagome turned to see Sango coming over to her. "What's that?"
"Morning to you to. Say did you see anyone leaving as you pulled up?"
"No afraid I didn't sorry. Hey let's get going." Kagome locked the door then both Sango and her walked to Sango's vehicle. While they were heading to Sango's work they started talking. "So are you going to look and see what is in the envelope?" Kagome opened the envelope as they were walking up the steps to the building. As they entered the building Kagome pulled out the continents of the envelope to see photos. She looked and saw one with her working at Enchantment Of Delights, then another one of her walking into the apartment with groceries, another picture of her and Inuyasha together at a restaurant. The last few were of her being cut free from the car wreck and in the hospital. She felt something on the back of the picture of her being pulled from the wrecked car. She opened the paper and read the small note.
The Note"Ahhh did you have a little accident?"
End Of Note"What's wrong Kagome?" Sango watched as Kagome stood there looking at the note then folded it up and put it and the pictures back in the envelope and put the envelope in her purse.
"Nothing is wrong." She walked to the place she put her purse the last time she walked at the firm for Sango. While Sango went to clock in while Kagome got a pen and pressed the button on the answering machine and started writing the messages down. By the time Sango got back, Kagome had written down the seven messages and put them in the boxes.
"Were there any messages?"
"Yes there were seven messages. Five for Mr. Silvermoon. I have already put them in their boxes." About 8:30 am InuTaisho came walking through the door.
"Greeting to you." He took his jacket and hung it up. "Miss Higurashi come with me to my office." Kagome walked with him. "What I would like you to do is to take these eight stacks of paper and staple them together. They are labelled in the corner what number they are. You may use my son's office. He will be in court this morning." InuTaisho helped Kagome to carry the stacks to his son's office.
When Kagome went into the office and started working Sango's curiosity got the better of her and went over to Kagome's purse and opened it and got the envelope out. She opened it up and looked at the pictures and was shocked and what she saw. Then she read the short note. Taking the photo's and note she took them and photo copied them then put them back in Kagome's purse and put the photo copies in her locked drawer. As the clock turned 9:30 the door to Sesshoumaru's office opened.
"What are you doing in this office?" The voice made Kagome stop what she was doing and looked up. "Answer my question to why you are in my office."
