Sango opened her eyes and saw Miroku's friendly face turned towards her.
She quickly sat up blushing as she now understood she had been resting her head on his shoulder.
He was asleep so he didn't see her ruby cheeks.
"The patient is now awake and you can see her," A man with a long white overcoat and oddly matching yellow shoes said.
"Oh...thanks" Sango, startled at first, thanked the man in white as he exited the waiting room and went down the hall.
Sango had stayed in the waiting room all night with Miroku.
Although it wasn't the best place to spend a night, Sango had managed to catch some shut-eye.
"Miroku, wake up," Sango urged rocking Miroku back and forth.
"mmmm," he moaned, "So you will bear my children?"
"Just like him to be dreaming about women," Sango said rolling her eyes.
Sango, irritated, grabbed a pillow from a near bye couch and whacked Miroku on the head.
Miroku shot up wondering what was going on.
"Finally," Sango smiled still holding the pillow in hand.
"Couldn't you be more gentle Sango?" Miroku asked rubbing his eyes and stretching.
"Humph," Sango huffed, as she turned and sat the pillow back where it belonged.
"Kagome's awake, c'mon let's go see her!" Sango yelled excitedly while beginning to sprint down the hall.
"Sango, wait up," Miroku shouted after her.
"Hey sleepy head, how's it goin'?" Sango greeted, as she entered Kagome's room.
"Hey, oh it's nothing just my arm," Kagome said positioning her body so that she could eat her soup.
"Hey, Kagome, you alright? We were worried about you," Miroku said entering the through the door.
"Hey Miroku, I'm fine...aleast someone cared how I was feeling" Kagome snapped almost to herself.
"What do you mean Kagome?" Sango asked.
"Oh, nothing, it has noting to do with you two, but thanks anyway from staying here just to see me," Kagome said trying to brush the memory of the previous night:
"Uh...huh...it's not like I wanted to," Inuyasha said crossing his arms, then backed off as Kagome rose up swiftly.
"What do you me you didn't want to?"
"Your just a stupid girl climbing off a building why would I want to save you?"
"Then, why did you bother?"
"Because you just happen to be there when I was jumping!"
"Yeah! Then why did you bring me here?"
"Because it was on my way to...to the lake," he lied.
"Is that so, well why are you sitting here?"
"I'm not, I'm leaving!"
"Fine!"
"Errr that uncaring Jerk" Kagome screamed.
Miroku and Sango stared at Kagome.
"Um...are you sure your feeling okay Kagome," Miroku asked, still shocked from Kagome's previous outburst.
"Yes, I'm fine, sorry about that I was just remembering something," Kagome apologized waving her hand in a "don't-worry-about-it" manner.
"...Okay, well Sango and I best be going then to...um...remember...things...some more," Miroku oddly said grabbing Sango's arm and gently pulling her through the doorway.
Kagome still trying to compute what had happened, watched as Sango waved and slowly shut the door.
"Huh, great, Inuyasha's mad at me, Miroku and Sango think I'm mentally sick, and my left arm feels like it's gunna fall off," Kagome thought as she slammed her head on the pillow.
The door suddenly opened and a girl about Kagome's age walked in.
Her hair was was a fiery orange and it was put into two large ponytails.
A large white tail protruded from her backside and her eyes were a leafy green.
Kagome recognized that she was a nurse by her white sterilized outfit.
"Mad'am Kagome, can I get you anything?" She asked.
"Um...no thanks I'm fine," Kagome answered.
"Okay, well if you need me just call for Ayume," The nurse said turning to face and incoming doctor.
"Nurse Ayume, your needed in room nine," The doctor said, he too had a long tail, but his was a creamy brown color.
He hadn't looked up from his clipboard so he hadn't seen Kagome dump her soup in the nearest trash can.
She had found it absolutely revolting, it had tasted more like something that came out of the wrong end of a chicken rather than chicken noodle soup.
"So according to the chart, um...Kagome Higorashi, you broke your arm in a fall, correct?" The doctor asked studying the information thoroughly before looking up.
Before Kagome could answer the doctor came and sat on the foot of her bed.
"Um...is it completely necessary for you to be there?" Kagome questioned feeling strangely uncomfortable.
"Kagome, what do ya say I take you out after your feeling better...maybe Saturday?"
"Um...don't you think that's quite sudden, I've met you for only a couple minutes, and I'll admit your handsom and all but..."
"So that's a yes? Great pick you up at seven," The doctor said getting up and beginning to leave the room.
"Wait, I didn't..." Kagome was interrupted.
"Oh, sorry you didn't get my name?"
"No I was going to say..."
"That I'm handsome? I know. Oh and by the way I'm Kouga." The doctor added turning his way down the hall.
"Ugh, wow he sure is fast, he asked me out after two minutes of meeting me. Now what am I going to do, if Miroku thinks I'm dating other guys he may try to get me to date him. And what do I tell Inuyasha...wait what do I care what he thinks...I don't...sigh" Kagome decided to dream away her worries and fell back asleep.
Meanwhile:
"Do you think Kagome's alright, Miroku?" Sango asked anxiously.
"She'll be fine Sango, I know Kagome she's not easily weakened," Miroku answered, "I mean if she wasn't with Inuyasha I would take her back anytime."
Sango looked down as she heard the last part.
"So that's what you'd do, huh." Sango said angrily, but trying hard to keep her cool.
Then she stood up and began to walk away.
"Wait, Sango, don't go, what did I say," Miroku yelled after her, trying to understand what upset her so much.
Sango stopped and turned to him, "Kagome, doesn't even like you anymore Miroku, why do you chase after her?"
"Eh..."
"Your such a flirt, you lecher, why don't you get over her and move on, even if she has no real boyfriend, I know she doesn't want you," Sango stood paralyzed at what she had just said, "Oh no."
"What do you mean she has no real boyfriend?" Miroku asked suspiciously.
"Heh, did I say that, well...um..she does and I got to go...bye," Sango said quickening her pace towards the dorm.
Miroku ran after Sango wanting to get to the bottom of this.
Back in the Hospital:
"ehmmm," Kagome moaned stretching her back as she woke up.
Then she saw Ayume enter the room with a cold look on her face.
"Oh hello, Ayume nice day we're having."
"Yeah, maybe for you, boy-stealer," Ayume said still giving Kagome dirty looks.
"Did I do something wrong?" Kagome asked confused.
"You stole my Kouga!"
"Look, I didn't steal anyone, he asked me out and I was trying to tell him no, but he left before I could say anything, you can have him, but don't take your anger out on me."
"Right, whatever, there's someone here to see you," Ayume said before exiting.
"Hm, I wonder who it could be," Kagome thought before she screamed in delight, "MOM!"
"Oh, Kagome," Her mother said hugging her daughter.
"How did you..." Kagome asked.
"I boy called me," Her mother answered before Kagome could finish.
"A boy? Did he give you a name?"
"Um, I believe it was...Inuyasha, he said you have fallen and broken your arm."
"Inuyasha, what's he doing being so nice as to call my mom." Kagome thought.
"Thank Goodness your alright," Her mother said before hugging her again.
Kagome had forgotten how much she loved the feel of her mother's embrace.
"Thanks Mom," Kagome whispered as she hugged her mother back.
