Chapter 13 Miss You Like Crazy

Four Days Later

"Yeah, I'm still at the hospital. Kagome is still in her medical coma and getting better. She could wake up any day now. Unfortunately, Inuyasha not so much. He might not make it," Bankotsu whispered on the phone to not disturb Kagome sleeping.

"Well I'm coming to the hospital with Suikotsu, Naraku, Emori, and Soto. Momma is sedated and Midoriko is going to stay with her while we are gone to the hospital. Has anyone talked to Miroku?" Kikyo asked.

"He has been by and said that they were coming from a bar heading home. A drunk driver ran the red light and hit them. He was in the back seat and Inuyasha was driving. Inuyasha had turned the car to where he got most of the impact and not Kagome. Does his parents or family know?," Bankotsu asked.

"Oh dear. Yea...I called them and they are out of town but trying to get back to see him. I got to go Naraku is here," Kikyo said and hung up the phone.

Bankotsu placed his cell phone in his pant pocket and sat down beside Kagome's bed. He grabbed her hand gently that was not hooked up to any life bringing lines. He said a short prayer and kissed her hand.

Kagome was sore. From the top of her head to the bottom of her feet. Her hair hurt and she didn't know how that would happen. She tried to open her eyes but that hurt too. She felt her hand move on it's on with a warm touch to her skin. She immediately thought it was Inuyasha and that he was okay. The constant dream of getting hit and his eyes full of concern was killing her inside. She wanted to wake up just for him.

She tried calling out but again another ailment she noticed. She tried to flutter her eyes and turned her head slowly to not cause her to feel dizzy. Her vision was a bit blurry and she tried to focus.

"Inuyasha? Babe?" Kagome whispered softly.

Bankotsu snapped open his eyes thinking that he was hearing things. He leaned over Kagome and looked at her.

"Kagome?" Bankotsu said gently.

"Inuyasha? You're okay?" Kagome questioned still thinking that she was talking to Inuyasha.

She clasped tighter as she was continuing to wake up from her medical induced coma.

"Kagome calm down. Let me go and get your doctor," Bankotsu said quickly and went out to go get the nurse.

Moments later her physician came into the room.

"Good morning Mrs. Tashio. My name is Dr. Yami. You are in a hospital and doing quite well. I am going to check out some of your vitals okay," Dr. Yami said and Kagome shook her head that she understood.

Dr. Yami checked Kagome's eyes and blood pressure. She looked at her charts and brain activity. She tested to make sure that Kagome still had feeling in her feet and hands.

"Alright. I will have a nurse bring in some ice chips because of her sore throat. Then in about ten we minutes we are going to move her from ICU to her own private room. Bank, she pulled through and is going to make a speedy recovery," Dr. Yami said and left the room.

Bankotsu shook his head but then left quickly after the doctor. He saw nurses come inside Kagome's room and began moving her to her private room.

"Hey Mari. Can you tell me how her husband is doing?" Bankotsu whispered so no one else would hear.

"Well…" Dr. Yami began.

"I know patient confidentiality and all that but Kagome is going to start asking about him. His kid and his family are on the way. Any news please," Bankotsu said and waited.

"Well I just wanted to tell the family. They should have been notified already but Inuyasha, he,"

Dr. Yamo began but was interrupted when small group of people came running towards Bankotsu.

"Are you Dr. Yami?" a black haired woman with red swollen eyes and tear stricken cheeks.

"Yes and you must be the Tashios," Dr. Yami said gently.

The couple, with two other adults semi- circled around her.

"Yes we are, I am his mother. We got here as fast as we could. Where is our son. Is he okay? My daughter-in-law, grandson? Are they okay?" Mrs. Tashio asked trying to keep from shaking the woman to get to the point of telling her if her child is okay.

"If you please follow me," Dr. Yami said and started off down the hall towards the elevators.

Bankotsu in took some air and shook his head. He squatted down and knew what happened to him.

"Bank! Bankotsu! Hey! Did you see Inuyasha's family? Where's Kagome's room?" Kikyo asked as she walked up to Bankotsu.

"Yeah they just came up and the doctor is with them telling them about his condition," Bankotsu said and stood up.

He walked to where Kagome was taken to and saw that she had her eyes closed again. He walked back out to the waiting room and saw that Kikyo was pacing.

"Well what is wrong with him? Is he back in surgery again?" Kikyo demanded to know.

Bankotsu shook his head no and tears were threatening to fall over.

That alarmed Kikyo and she placed her hand over her mouth and vigorously shook her head no.

Bankotsu shook his head yes and hugged Kikyo.

"Inuyasha? Where's Inuyasha?" Kagome called out softly again.

Kikyo began to cry softly into Bankotsu's chest when the rest of her family came to where Kagome was at temporarily.

"Is she?" Soto asked and stopped before he jinxed himself and she was really dead.

"No. It's that Inuyasha,"

"My son! My poor baby boy," Mrs. Tashio screamed from the elevator.

"Mom. The doctors did everything they could. Just know that he's in a better place," a tall man that was similar looking to Inuyasha said hoisting up the distressed woman.

"Grammy! Uncle Sesshy!" Emori called from his uncle's arms coming from the cafeteria.

"Emori? Emori! Oh my baby! Come to Grammy! Where's Kagome?" Mrs. Tashio asked hugging Emori close to her chest.

"Izayoi. I don't know if you remember me but I am Kagome's brother, Naraku," Naraku said and shook her hand.

"I do. Where's Kagome? Is she okay?" Izayoi asked and kissed Emori on the side of his head.

"Yes she is doing fine. She just woke up well that's what Kikyo, our sister told us," Naraku said and showed her to Kagome's room.

Soto, Bankotsu, Suikotsu, and Kikyo were mourning about the passing of Inuyasha. They heard the doors open to the waiting room and saw that Izayoi came through with Emori in her arms. Her family were right behind her and Soto and Kikyo went to go and great them.

"Izayoi, Inu No Tashio, Sesshomaru, Rin. I am truly sorry," Kikyo began and started to choke up again.

"Yes the news hasn't sunken in just yet for either of us. Seven surgeries and they couldn't get the bleeding to stop," Inu Tashio said and sat down in one of the chairs.

Emori was looking at the other adults and didn't understand what was going on. He wiggled out of his grandmother's arms and went to his new friend Dr. Taka.

Emori went to Bankotsu and picked him up. He kissed the little boy on the forehead and hugged him tight.

"Dr. Taka, why is everyone crying? Is Mommy okay?" Emori asked trying to figure it out.

"Yes Emori. Your mom is doing fine. Do you want to see her?" Bankotsu asked and Emori shook his head yes.

Bankotsu left as the rest of the adults were still trying to wrap their mind around that Inuyasha was in fact dead.

Kagome's Room room 306

Kagome was a bit more coherent and was talking. She was in the middle of answering some basic questions to make sure that her brain was working properly and she didn't have any memory loss. She turned her head when the door was being open and saw that her son was there. She sat up her bed and reached out for him.

Emori immediately wiggled out of Bankotsu's grasp and ran to his mother's arms. She grabbed him and hugged him tightly to her her bosom.

"Oh Emori I missed you so much," Kagome said and kissed his forehead.

"I missed you too Momma! Where's Daddy? Why is Grammy, Pop Pop, and the others crying?" Emori asked as he played with her fingers.

"Crying?" Kagome asked and looked up at Bankotsu.

Bankotsu looked at her heart meter and saw that her heart spiked. He knew she was getting better but didn't know if that kind of news would make her turn for the worst.

"I'll tell you later when you are stronger," Bankotsu said and left the room.

"Momma, what does dead mean?" Emori asked.

"Where did you hear that word from?" Kagome asked and she heard her heart meter beep. She took a deep breath and made Emori face her in her bed.

"Emori what did you hear?" Kagome asked her son.

"I heard Uncle Sess say 'I can't believe he is dead.' What does dead mean?" Emori asked again and laid against his mom's chest again.

"I'll uhm I'll explain later baby," Kagome said trying not to break down in front of her son.

She laid her head against her son's head and silently wept. Emori felt her chest heaving and turned to see his mom in tears. He began to well up with tears because his mom was sad.

"Momma why are you sad?" Emori asked.

"It's because...I'm so happy to see you my sweet little boy. I missed you so so so much," Kagome lied but was telling the truth. She did miss her small child but she was also crying because she lost her husband for good.

"Hey Kagome we were...Kagome are you okay? Is something hurting? Do I need to get the doctor or the nurse?" Kikyo asked quickly and was about to leave.

"No, I just found out. Can you take Emori for me. I just want to be alone for a few minutes," Kagome said and was breathing hard so she wouldn't burst out into tears like she was edge of doing so.

Kikyo shook her head as a lump formed in her throat.

"Come Emori. Let's give mom a few moments to rest. She has had a busy day," Kikyo said and tried to smile as tears were gathering in her eyes again as well.

Emori hugged his mom and kissed her cheek.

"I love you Momma," Emori said and left with his aunt.

"I love you too my baby," Kagome said and when she heard the door's lock click closed she sat in silence.

"Inuyasha's dead...my Inuyasha is dead...my dear husband...is dead," Kagome whispered to herself. Her body wouldn't cry it felt as if a forcefield was embracing her body and she was numb. A few tears rolled down her cheek but she felt completely numb.

A week later

"Hey Kagome is there anything that you want me to get for you? I know we just buried two days ago, Inuyasha and you say that you don't want anybody home with you. We are worried about you. You know just call anyone and we will be there right," Kikyo said as Kagome was standing in her closet.

Kagome shook her head and reached up for one of Inuyasha's work shirts that was in the dirty clothes bin.

Kikyo wanted to say more but knew that Kagome just needed time.

"Honey, you don't have to be here. Come stay with Naraku or even at my house for a couple of more days," Kikyo coerced Kagome to do.

Kagome shook her head and tried to get up. She was still in her funeral attire. Kagome was still numb and just couldn't shake out of it.

Kikyo grabbed her sister's shoes and lead her out of the house to her car. Kagome placed her head against the cool passenger window and felt tears splatter on her wrist. She looked up at her reflection and saw a broken woman looking back at her.
