Kagome lay on the couch, sipping her coke. She was really thirsty. And she had a headache. She was kinda hoping the caffeine would help it somewhat. Inuyasha walked over and leaned over the back of the couch. "Isn't it a bit early for caffeine?"

"Shippou and Rin are coming early today." Inuyasha nodded. "Should be here any minute now," she added with a glance at her watch. She was rewarded with a knock on the door.

Inuyasha let the children in and they ran to the couch and jumped up on Kagome. "Hey guys, how's it going?" They cuddled in, grabbing a blanket off the back of the couch and trying to go back to sleep. "Sleep sounds good, I agree."

Inuyasha headed out to work. "My cell number is on the fridge if you guys need anything." Kagome waved him out and he left.

After a satisfying few hours of sleep, Shippou woke Kagome back up so that she could make lunch. They had ham sandwiches and potato chips and coke, playing a quick game of chutes and ladders as they ate.

"What do you guys want to do today?" Kagome washed the dishes quickly, handing them to Rin to dry.

"Can you tell us a story, Gome?" Shippou hugged one of her legs, looking forlorn.

Kagome laughed and patted his head. "After the dishes, alright? Then I'll tell you a story." They finished the dishes quickly, settling into the couch.

"Alright. Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess. Everyone around knew of her spectacular beauty. Her eyes were brown like chestnuts, and her hair was as black as a raven, long and flowing."

Shippou frowned. "I thought princesses were supposed to be blond and blue-eyed."

"Of course not. Rin doesn't have blond hair or blue eyes, and she's a pretty princess if I've ever seen one." She turned to Rin with a smile. "Isn't that right?" The girl blushed. Kagome suddenly ran one hand over her face.

"Are you all right, Gome?" Shippou pressed his hand against her forehead.

"Actually, I'm sorry guys, but I don't really feel very good." Kagome started to get up. "I'm going to call Miroku to have him come over and watch you guys for me." He knees buckled and she collapsed, hitting the coffee table as she fell. She heard Rin and Shippou scream before everything went black.

Inuyasha set the boy's feet on the tape he stuck in the rug. "Stand there. Don't move." He spun the duck tape roll around his finger. Gotta love duck tape.

His phone rang and he reached into his pocket to answer it. "Go…attack each other, I don't know." He flipped the phone open. "Hello?"

"Uncle Inu?" The voice was quiet, and he didn't recognize it.

"Who … Rin?" The shock must have registered in his voice because his students all turned to watch him. "What, what happened? Is something wrong?" She started crying. "Rin, calm down. What's wrong? I need you to stop crying for me, okay?"

"Kagome … fell. I don't know what to do. She won't wake up." She sniffed a few times. "I'm scared."

Inuyasha dropped the duck tape. "Is … is she …"

"She's still breathing, but we can't wake her up."

Inuyasha let out a relieved sigh. "I'm coming home, okay Rin? I'm going to hang up now, but I'll be home as soon as I can, okay?" He shut his phone and stared wide-eyed at his students for a minute. Then in a flurry of movement he ran and grabbed his keys, then ran out of the room.

He looked into the main office, but no one was there. He ran to the archery room. "Where's Toutousai?" he asked Rei. He shrugged. "Watch my class I have to go home. Thanks, bye!" And he ran out.

Rei got up slowly and went to Inuyasha's room. The students still stood in the center, confused. He looked at them. They looked back. "The sitting room has cable," he said. They all went and watched Myth Busters.

Inuyasha sped through town, running every light he came through, narrowly avoiding accidents on several occasions. He pulled out his phone (let's not leave any laws unbroken) and dialed up Miroku.

"Well, hello there, Yash. Shouldn't you be at work?" Miroku's patronizing tone seeped through the phone.

"You need to get to my apartment as soon as possible, you hear me? As soon as possible." He hung up, hoping Miroku understood.

Inuyasha raced up the stairs, unable to wait for the elevator, and burst into his apartment. Kagome was stretched out on the floor by the couch, Shippou was petting her hair, crying, trying to get her to wake up. His hands were red.

Shippou held one hand out. "She hit her head. She's bleeding. Is Kagome going to die?"

"Rin! Go to the bathroom and get me a towel, quick. Shippou, go wash your hands. You shouldn't touch other people's blood or you can get sick." He pushed a piece of hair out of Kagome's face. "She'll be fine, now go."

The door slammed open and Miroku and Sango came rushing inside. "Inuyasha, what …" Sango gasped. Miroku ran over as Rin handed Inuyasha a towel.

"I need you to drive us to the hospital. Sango, can you stay here with the kids?" Inuyasha scooped Kagome into his arms as Sango nodded. She hugged Shippou close to her. "We'll be back soon, I hope."

He and Miroku rushed out the door.
