Pain and Summer days of the past
In the distance Kagome heard sirens. She could hear foot steps running throw the woods. There were voices calling. Kagome opened her blurry eyes, to find the forest glowing witha red light. The light kept flashing, Kagome's heart raised up in to her throat. Help had arrived. Kagome jumped up off the ground, And ran to the nearest voice. So after only a few steps a bright light was shinned in to her eye's.
" I've found them! Over hear, guys, their over here!" The voice behind the flash light yelled. It was a man's voice. People came rushing in the clearing from all direction. They brought more light in to the dark clearing. Kagome turned her back the light, only to come to face Inu-yasha's limp form at her feet. He was as pail as porsulen. Red seemed to cover his entire body. Inu-yasha's white face was facing Kagome, she could see the line of dry blood thathad seeped throw his black coated lips. She could also see his black eye make up that had smeared and run from tears. In all her years of being his friend, she had never seen Inu-yasha cry.
Kagome couldn't understand. Kagome watched in a trans as the medical people swarmed over Inu-yasha. Kagome backed away. She shook her head. How could life take such a twist, why her best friend? What had he done to deserve such a fate? Why, oh, why not her. Kagome felt nosh anted. She ran. Hands came out of what seemed no where, they grabbed at her, but she kept running to the edge of the clearing. Soon Kagome was on her knee's throwing up. Even after her stomach was empty, she kept having dry spasms.
Hands were rubbing her back soothingly. Kagome looked up in to a face of a police man. He was a demon. Kagome couldn't tell what kind. He was old and had warm, but cold blue eye's. Eye's only a person that had see way to much, could have. The man draped a soft brown blanked over her shoulders.
" There you go, your name was Kagome, wasn't it? I'm Max. Lets you on to the ambulance. Their loading up your friend now." Max said in a soft tons. Kagome knotted her head weakly. Max softly pick Kagome up in to his warm arms. Kagome didn't care if this old demon was a stranger, she needed some one. Most of all she needed Inu-yasha desperately. She snuggled trustingly in to the Max's chest.
Max carried the little girl. To him she seen so small and fragile, so that he couldn't bring himself to call her a woman. She couldn't have been more then seventeen. Still a child. And so was that boy on the stretcher in head of them. It was sad when a child chooses to end their life. The poor children, both them were covered from head to toe in blood. Max got Kagome to the ambulance and looked down at her.
" Kagome do you want to come with me to the hospital in my police car or in the ambulance?" Max asked her. Kagome looked over at the ambulance.
" I cant leave Inu-yasha." Kagome said in a small whisper, that if Max had been human he wouldn't have heard. He knotted. And walked over and set Kagome down in the ambulance. As soon as he backed away the doors were closed and the ambulance speed away. Max sighed and shook his head. He couldn't understand what the world was coming to. When a woman couldn't go alone anywhere with out fear. Parents beating up their children. Children killing themselves…… what was the world coming to? Did he want to know?
In ambulance.
The paramedic's were hooking Inu-yasha up to what seemed like hundreds different mashies. One paramedic came over to take a look at Kagome. He discovered Kagome's hands were ripped and torn from the wire she had pulled out of Inu-yasha's arms. He washed up Kagome's hand's and then bandaged them.
Kagome could only watch this throw hollow eye's. She could see the man's lip moving, but she couldn't hear him. It was like she was dead to the world. The man soon gave up on her and turned back to help Inu-yasha. A woman this time walked across the small space to her. She put Kagome's trench coat in her lap, hoping for a response. But Kagome did nothing. Just sit there and stair at Inu-yasha's limp body. His red stained silver hair hung over the side of the stretcher, making it look like some sickish death curtain.
Kagome wondered absently if she could touch it she would die. She hadn't noticed his ears until now. They were limp, and one was covered in blood. Kagome soon blacked out thinking about the first time she had see those cute little appendages.
It was a hot day. Summer had rolled around, and was in full swing. School was out, and Inu-yasha and Kagome had panned to go swimming in a small lake near their houses. As Kagome and Inu-yasha meet at the corner like they planned, Kagome noticed Inu-yasha was warring his hat.
" Inu-yasha your not planning to go swimming in your hat are you?" Kagome asked Inu-yasha.
" Well yes I am. It----ah-- ok with you of I ware it right?" Inu-yasha asked.
" Yep, its fine with me. Lets go swimming!" Kagome said as she grabbed Inu-yasha's hand and pulled him to the lake.
They swam until they got hungry than they eat a lunch they had packed. Kagome wondered over to a cliffy area, while waiting for Inu-yasha. All of a sudden Kagome lost her balance and slipped. Kagome screamed as she feel. Before she could fall Inu-yasha was there and grabbed Kagome's hand and gave a yank.
In Inu-yasha's hurry, he used to much strength witch caused them to fall over on to their backs. Kagome was laying on Inu-yasha's small chest. In the fallInu-yasha's hat fell of with out his knowing. Kagome looked up and stared at the fuzzy triangles she saw.
Kagome being like any other 7 and a half year old girl, coed at the sight. She couldn't stop herself. She reached a hand out and rubbed one if the ears. Inu-yasha stiffened and couldn't help himself. He started to purr. But all to soon realized what was going on and pushed Kagome off of him and searched for his hat. As he put his hat on, he looked at Kagome.
" why are you still here?" Inu-yasha asked softly.
" Why am I still here? Why would I leave Inu-yasha?" Kagome asked.
" well every one that have seen my ears, run away, because I'm a freak." Inu-yasha whispered.
"Well I am your friend. I wouldn't run away from you. Or call you a freak." Kagome told him.
" So you don't hate my ears?" Inu-yasha asked.
" Nope, I like your ears! Their so cute and fuzzy. And you make a cute purring noise when I pet them!" Kagome smiled up at Inu-yasha. She went over to him and hugged him. Inu-yasha slowly rapped his little arms around Kagome. His heart melting at her soft words.
Kagome blinked, one of the men was shaking her. They had gotten to the hospital. Kagome finally seemed to be able to move. She ran along side Inu-yasha's stretcher until they mad got it to the operating room. Where they told her she couldn't go farther. That's also when Kagome broke down. Her shaking got worse. No she had to be strong. Strong for Inu-yasha. Kagome sighed trying to just breath. As soon as she got that under control, a nurse came over to her.
" Will you call the young man's parents? Its all ways best to have a close member of the families brake news like this. So if your up for it the phone's are over there." the nurses said as she patted Kagome on the shoulder.
Kagome knotted and walked to the phone. It had to be mid night. Kagome didn't want to tell Inu-yasha's parents what had happened, but she must. They had been like a second set of parents to her. Kagome sighed and walked over to the phone. She didn't know if she could talk, her throat felt so tight. Kagome pick up the phone and dialed Inu-yasha's number.
"Hello?" Lilly answered. Kagome gulped, she knew she could never tell Lilly.
" L----Lilly--is---- Inu--- Inu-yashio t-there?" Kagome asked in a broken stutter.
" Kagome are you alright baby? What's wrong?" Lilly asked.
"Lilly----I-I really n-need to talk to Inu- Inu-yashio." Kagome whispered in to the phone. Gods, how hard she was trying to start sobbing again.
" Ok, Baby let me go get him." Lilly said, she put the phone on the table still on. And Lilly ran up stairs. She burst in to the study where Inu-yashio was reading. He looked up at her as she entered.
" What is it mate? What's wrong?" He asked.
" Kagome's on the phone. She won't talk to me, she keeps asking for you. Oh, Inu-yashio hurry she sounds so…..so broken." Lilly broke of. Inu-yashio was already running for the door.
Inu-yashio leaped over the top banister to land perfectly on his feet. Lilly right behind him, on the stairs. He got to the phone.
" Kagome sweet heart are you still there baby?" Inu-yashio asked in a soft voice.
" Inu---- Inu-yashio p-please get Lilly o-out of the r-r-room." Kagome asked in a broken whisper.
" Lilly leave, don't ask why, just go. I will find you after. OK, Baby she gone. Now what's wrong?" Inu-yashio asked, trying to keep his voice soft. Even though his heart was pounding. Inu-yasha wasn't home yet. That was so unlike Inu-yasha.
" I-Inu…..yasha." Kagome sobbed softly on the other end. Inu-yashio's heart stopped.
" Kagome what's wrong with Inu-yasha." Inu-yashio asked franticly.
" H-He t-tryed co-committed su… suicide." Kagome whimpered at that word.
" GOD DAMNIT, Kagome where are you!" Inu-yashio asked.
" The…state h-hospital." Kagome answered.
" We'll be there as soon as we can, hold on Kagome!" Inu-yashio said as he hung up.
