AN: This chapter is dedicated to my sister for her birthday which is tomorrow (February 19). She's gonna be another year older. This is my present to her. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOSTANGEL575!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Inuyasha was too worried to think. He heard the door open. Sango and Miroku were standing there. "Hey! How did the play go?" asked Inuyasha weakly.

"Oh, well, you know, we overachieved as usual. We got the highest grade in the class," answered Miroku.

"You're kidding!" replied Inuyasha.

"It's true," said Sango. "How are you feeling?" she asked.

"I've felt better. Do you know how Kagome is?" he asked.

"She was unconscious the last time we saw her." said Sango.

"She has several broken bones, a fractured rib bone, and some sort of muscle thing, which could affect the way she walks for a while. The doctors don't seem to think her life is in danger, but they aren't all that sure." said Miroku.

"What do you mean they aren't sure?" said Inuyasha angrily.

"They can't be sure at this point." replied Sango.

Kagome was in her room suffering. There was no one else in the room. She could feel her air passages becoming smaller and smaller. She couldn't breathe.

"Inuyasha!" was all she could say before her lungs gave out. She stopped breathing.

The door flung open. Inuyasha stood in the doorway. He went to Kagome's bedside. "Kagome, I heard you call me. Say something. Please talk to me!!!" the doctor had come in. He told the nurse to take Inuyasha back to his room, while he worked on Kagome.

"NO! I won't go! She needs me!" Inuyasha screamed. He tried to kick, but he couldn't move his broken leg. "NO! You can't do this!" shouted Inuyasha.

"I'm worried about Inuyasha and Kagome. Inuyasha is in a critical condition. Kagome is in even more of a critical condition. What happens if…if…" said Sango, breaking out into tears.

"Sango, you shouldn't worry. Inuyasha is too stubborn to let anything happen to himself, and he's definitely too stubborn to let anything happen to Kagome." said Miroku.

"I know. You said that before, but…" she started. The doctor came out at that second.

"Any news of Kagome or Inuyasha?" asked Miroku.

Inuyasha was in Kagome's room, even though he really should've been in his own room, resting.

"Kagome, are you alright? I know you can hear me. Please talk to me. You can't do this to me. I know you're still angry with me. Please don't be. I'm sorry." Inuyasha refused to let himself cry.

Kagome's hand twitched. Her fingers began to move. Her whole arm was twitching. Inuyasha smiled. He was sure Kagome wanted to hit him, but her injuries were preventing her from doing so.

Her eyes opened. "Inuyasha…" she whispered.

"Kagome!" said Inuyasha. He grabbed her and hugged her. She winced because of the pain.

"I…c-can't breathe." she whispered.

Inuyasha let go of her. "Sorry," he said, "for everything."

"It's okay Inuyasha. I forgive you." she said.

"Did you hear Miroku, Sango, and Kouga made the highest grade?" said Inuyasha.

"On what?" replied Kagome.

"The Romeo and Juliet performance." said Inuyasha.

"What did they make?" asked Kagome excitedly.

"I think a B ," said Inuyasha.

Kagome's face grew morose. "What do you mean a B ? Are you serious?" exclaimed Kagome with all the strength she had in her.

"Calm down. Geez. Does it really matter?" said Inuyasha.

"This is going to ruin my grade." whined Kagome.

"I think we should focus on things other than grades right now." said Inuyasha sensitively.

Sango paced the room frantically. Miroku came up behind her and handed her a cup of coffee. "Thanks," she said.

"Stop worrying." demanded Miroku. "You always worry about other people." said Miroku.

"I can't help that," said Sango absent-mindedly.

"What could possibly happen to them?" asked Miroku.

"Well…you know…they could…" started Sango.

"Hey Sango!" Sango turned around to find Kohaku standing behind her.

"Kohaku, what are you doing here?" asked Sango.

"You didn't come home." said Kohaku.

"So, you looked for me in the hospital?" asked Sango.

"Well, I called Miroku since your cell was off. He told me you needed moral support, so here I am," explained Kohaku.

"Awww…thanks Kohaku." said Sango, hugging her little brother. 'Thanks' she mouthed to Miroku. 'Anytime' he replied.

"Inuyasha, I'm hungry." said Kagome.

"Yeah, now that mention it, I kinda am too. I'll go get some ninja food." he said.

"Wait. You're not supposed to leave your room, let alone roam the hospital." said Kagome.

"They won't miss me." said Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha," said Kagome.

Inuyasha turned around. "Yeah?" he said.

"For the last time, they're called Raman noodles!" said Kagome irritated.

"God! Give me a break!" said Inuyasha. Out he went, off to find some Raman noodles/ninja food.
