Hey this is Bubba again! I am a freshman in college now and ready to write more on this good old story. It's been pretty drama filled and it's only going to get worse I'm afraid. Will Kagome and Inuyasha get together? Will they have more than a friendship? How will the drama unfold? Keep checking out the story and you will find out!

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Inuyasha or any of it's character, and I never will, and I am so very sad about it. :(

ALERT: Inuyasha is NOT a half-demon, Kagome is NOT a miko/priestess, Miroku does NOT have the wind tunnel, and Sango is NOT a demon slayer. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru have a rare disease (I'll go deeper into that in the story).

Chapter 11

Kagome was sitting at Starbucks looking out the window in her own little world. Kagome was waiting on Sango to arrive, but ever since her and Miroku were getting more and more involved, Kagome was seeing less and less of her. Kagome sighed one of her heavy, sorrowful sighs once again. She hadn't even cracked a smile ever since the incident with Inuyasha three months ago. She really missed him, but her pride and hurt-filled heart stood in her way. Kagome heard the door chime when a customer opened it, and was soon joined by Sango and Miroku.

"Good morning, Kagome." Miroku stated with a cheerful grin. He was obviously excited about the mornings events until he had to get up and go down to Starbucks with Sango.

"Hey Kagome." Sango reached for Kagome to shake her out of her daydream, but Kagome pulled away.

"I'm awake, Sango. How are you guys doing?" Kagome sounded so depressed, and everyone around her knew it, and why she was so depressed. Kagome was the only one that thought that she was hiding her true feelings well.

"Good." Sango stated. She looked over at Miroku, who looked like he was going to reveal some information, but Sango gave him an evil glare that stopped him in his tracks.

"I am rather pleasant." Miroku said, slyly.

"That's good to hear. So why did you ask me down here this early in the morning, Sango?" Kagome took a sip of her French Vanilla Cappuccino.

"Well..." Sango was never good at telling other people's business, which is why she brought Miroku for assistance.

"Well, what Sango?" Kagome was beginning to become worried. Had something happened to someone? Sango? Miroku? Inuyasha?

"It's about...Inuyasha." Sango was nervous about this.

"I do not care about anything that has to do with him." Kagome was lying straight to Sango and Miroku's face. They both knew it, too.

"Sango, would you rather me tell her?" Miroku asked. He knew Sango was having issues about telling Kagome the information.

"No, she should hear it from me."

"I don't want to hear it at all, if it has to do anything with him." Kagome was being so incredibly hard-headed right now.

"Listen, Kagome-" Sango started, but was cut off when Kagome promptly stood up, gathered her things, and began to walk away. "Kagome!" Sango called after her. Sango and Miroku chased after her and caught up with her quickly.

"I told you I don't want to hear it, okay? Get that through your heads!" Kagome started walking faster, putting those toned legs through a great work out.

"INUYASHA IS SICK!" Sango yelled out. Kagome stopped in her tracks and turned sharply around to Sango and Miroku.

"What do you mean he is sick? What is wrong with him?" Kagome had started to get choked up already.

"He is in the hospital, and they don't know what is wrong with him." Miroku finally spoke up. "They keep saying it has something to do with his rare disease. Do you know what disease they are talking about?"

"Yeah. It is the one that makes his hair silver. He never really explained anything to me, it was kind of a touchy subject. Which hospital is he at?" Kagome said, suddenly in a hurry.

"The one that is about forty-five minutes from here. They said that they were calling in an expert." Miroku relayed on the information that Inuyasha told him just the day before.

"Okay." Kagome began to walk away at a brisk pace.

"Wait, are you going up there to see him?" Sango called after her.

"Of course. He needs someone up there for support. I'll call you later." Kagome was almost out of sight.

"But-" Sango started after her, but Miroku stopped her. "I should go with her. What if he hurts her again? Someone needs to be there for her!"

"For someone who is studying psychology, you sure don't see that she needs to do this on her own. She loves that man, and he loves her, and they need to work this whole thing out on their own, Sango. Getting sick is probably the only thing that Inuyasha will do to get Kagome back with him, even though he didn't do it on purpose."

"I guess you're right, but I'm just scared as to what is going to happen. Kagome is such a fragile girl, and she needs support most of the time. That support usually comes from me." Sango had her head cast down in complete worry.

"Sango, you can't always be there for her. She must do this on her own, and on her own terms. Just trust that in the end, that the true means of their relationship will indeed surface."

"You know, you can talk me into anything." Sango placed her arms around Miroku's neck. Miroku in turn wrapped his arms tightly around her waist.

"Oh really? Well, there are so many other things that I want to talk you into." Miroku said with a husky voice. They kissed hungrily for each other, then made their way straight back to Miroku's apartment. Although, they both had their hard-headed friends on their mind.

An hour later...

Kagome pulled up to the hospital that Inuyasha was staying at. She cried all the way through the drive, listening to love songs. She almost turned around about five times, but knew that Inuyasha really needed her. She was the only one that knew about his disease, besides his half-brother, Sesshomaru. Kagome parked, and proceeded to sit in her car, with her forehead against the steering wheel. She was breathing deeply, and couldn't believe she drove all the way up to the hospital, and they weren't even speaking to each other. She had to do it though, because she still loved him, and he still meant the world to her. Kagome got out of the car, and walked rather slowly to the hospital entrance. She got to the front desk, opened her dry mouth, and nothing came out.

"Can I help you Miss?" the receptionist nurse asked. She had worry etched into her crows feet.

"Um...I...I need to see a patient." Kagome stuttered out.

"Okay, what is their name, Miss?" the receptionist turned to her computer.

"I-I-Inuyasha Takahashi." Kagome was having much trouble.

"Oh, Mr. Takahashi. He was a handful. Very handsome young man though. Let's see...aha...he is on the second floor, room 214."

"Thank you." Kagome walked slowly to the elevators, still debating on going to see the man that continuously was on her mind, that broke her heart over two years ago, came back and broke it again. She was in love with Inuyasha, and nothing that she said or did could change it. She went ahead and pressed the elevator button for "up." The elevator opened up, and she slowly stepped inside. She pressed the button for the second floor, and held her breath as the elevator rose to the second floor. When the door opened, she was shocked by who she saw.

"Sesshomaru?" Kagome gasped. She hadn't seen Sesshomaru since Inuyasha's tenth birthday party. He was never part of Inuyasha's life, and it was really weird seeing him in the hospital, most likely visiting Inuyasha. Kagome noticed how pale Sesshomaru appeared. She stepped out of the elevator as he spoke to her.

"Hello, Kagome. My brother did not say that he was getting any visitors." Sesshomaru sounded weak.

"It's a surprise. Are you feeling okay, Sesshomaru?" Kagome was worried, because if Inuyasha was sick, that meant that Sesshomaru probably was too.

"No, I am starting to get the same symptoms as my brother, so I am on my way to check in to the hospital. It really is weird that this is happening to us now. I thought that it would happen so much sooner then this."

"What exactly is wrong with the two of you?" Kagome was terrified as to what was happening to the two of them.

"Inuyasha will have to explain that, I really need to check in to the hospital. So sorry." Sesshomaru entered the elevator and while it was closing, Sesshomaru spoke. "Don't be so nervous, Kagome. He's been talking about you all day." Kagome was shocked at Sesshomaru's statement. Had he really been speaking of her all day? Did she really appear that nervous? Kagome made her way down the hall, which seemed to be a mile long. She approached room 214, and raised her small, delicate hand to knock, but hesitated.

Come on Kagome! You have to make sure he is okay. It doesn't matter that you guys weren't speaking to each other, he still needs your support. Kagome was thinking to herself, when a nurse came up behind her with a vital machine.

"Excuse me, ma'am. Are you trying to get in, because it should be unlocked. Knowing Mr. Takahashi, however, he might have gotten up and locked it." The nurse was young, and quite pretty. Kagome knew that Inuyasha probably requested her. The girl even had the nerve to wear a tight little nurse outfit, with cleavage and everything. Kagome fumed a little bit.

"Yeah, but I need to go to the restroom and freshen up a little. Where is the public restroom?"

"Right down the hall." The woman signaled behind her, and went ahead and walked into Inuyasha's room. She saw him, laying in the hospital bed, watching television, and his gaze snapped toward the opened door. That's when he swore he saw her. Kagome was there, she must have been. Who else had black shiny hair all the way down her back, and fair skin. Inuyasha's attention focused back on his nurse checking his vitals.

"Now open so I can check your temperature." She said, seductively. The nurse sat on the edge of Inuyasha's bed, and Inuyasha opened his mouth, letting the nurse insert the thermometer. "Mmmm...there you go Mr. Takahashi. Just like that." Inuyasha smirked, and when she pulled out the thermometer, she leaned toward him. "Now, now, Takahashi, let me check your blood pressure." Before they could start their routine make-out session, there was a light knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Inuyasha beckoned, while watching the nurse back away quickly, with a small pout. That made Inuyasha smile. The person still didn't come in through the door. "Will you let them in please, honey?" He gave her a heart-stopping smile and she respectfully bowed and got the door.

"Oh, you're back. You freshen up nicely, ma'am. Are you here to see Inuyasha?" The nurse waited for her answer. "Well, he is right in here."

"Thank you." Inuyasha knew that voice anywhere. She came around the corner, and his conclusions were true.

"Kagome." Inuyasha gasped his eyes wide.

Hope that was okay. I know it has been awhile, so I hope I got everything right. Read an review.
