Diclaimer and Heads Up: I don't own Inuyasha. I own Raine. INUOBSESSION owns Kitarra. Okay--this is pretty much the last chapter we'll have with mainly Inuyasha cast issues. Raine becomes overly dramatic for several chapters to come. But don't worry, I'll have a few random things with Sessy or Inuyasha. Teehee. Please review!
Kagome and Inuyasha had gone on a date that night, deciding they needed to make up for time they missed with one another. And he dropped her off, leaving her with a kiss and an engine running.
Kagome awoke the next morning to find Rin shaking her like crazy. Kagome sat up and rubbed her eyes wearily.
" What? It's Saturday isn't it?"
" Yeah! Come down stairs! Something bad's happened to Inuyasha!"
Kagome gasped and followed her friend down the stairs. Rin had the news on.
The man said, " A car crash accident occurred last night involving a red convertible. Apparently the driver was young, seventeen year-old Inuyasha Fang. He was identified to have been caught in his wheel and had driven into two mail boxes and smashed into a telephone pole tearing off the left side of his car. He is now in the hospital under critical care."
Rin turned the T.V. off.
" No! Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled.
Still in her pjs, Kagome got in her mom's car, Rin managing to get in as well,and drove off straight to the hospital. Kagome arrived and charged into the front waiting room.
" Yes?"
" Where is Inuyasha Fang at? I need to see him!"
" He's in the ER. Sorry, but no visitors until 9:00am. You'll have to wait."
" You don't understand, you bitch! That boy is my boyfriend and I demand to see him now! I saw the damage and I want to see if he's okay!"
Rin ran up to Kagome.
" I'm sorry, ma'am. She's a little paranoid. Please let us know when we can see him."
Rin sat Kagome into a chair harshly.
" What the hell is the matter with you?"
" She--nothing!"
" I hope it was nothing! You'll have to be patient!"
" Well, you know, it's rather difficult to be patient when your lover is in the hospital under critical care!"
" I know this. How do you think I felt when you were in the hospital? And Raine? And Inuyasha?"
"...The same way."
" That's right. And look, you survived! Saying that if we were patient enough, you would come around eventually."
" That was me, Rin! This is Inuyasha! Who knows what'll happen with him?"
" Kagome--" Rin was cut off by the arrival of the nurse.
" You know Inuyasha? He's able to have visitors now. You may see him. His sister's already in there."
Before she was done, Kagome was already at the door. She opened it slowly. Inuyasha was in the bed, pale, and in horrible condition. Kagome cried at the sight. He had bruises everywhere. And his eyes were shut. She walked over and touched his hand softly, then cried into it.
" I'll leave you two alone for a while." Raine looked at Kagome. She gave her a quick hug then left the room.
" Inuyasha. I'm so sorry." Kagome rubbed his cheek with her hand.
" For what?" he awoke by the touch of her hand.
" For this. Somehow, I feel like it's my fault."
" It's not your fault."
" Yes, it is! If you hadn't have met me, you wouldn't have driven last night and crashed! I feel so awful!"
He placed his hand on her cheek.
" No. It's not that. I just fell asleep, that's all. I'll be fine. I promise you, I'll live through this, okay?"
" But-"
" Have some faith, Kagome." he insisted.
" Okay, Inuyasha. I'll be waiting for you."
" Now that that's settled, how do I look? Good? Rugged? Handsome?"
" Uh--battered up."
" You know, I guess I forgot that one."
" Sorry. You actually look very good to what I hear I looked like when I was in the hospital."
" Thanks. I feel so much better." he rolled his eyes.
" Hey, I'm just tryin' to help!"
" Well, you're not doing a very good job!"
" Well, I'm sorry!"
" No, you're not! Admit it!"
" Well...GRR!"
Kagome stomped out the door, and walked past Rin and Raine to sit in a chair once again. Rin sighed and walked into the room. Raine went to Kagome. Inuyasha looked at her and she, him.
" You know she didn't mean it like that, right?"
" She didn't sound too regretful."
" Well, she was really worried about you, you know? She even called the stand lady a bitch because she wanted to see you so bad."
" Really?"
" Oh, yeah. As soon as she saw the news, she raced, in her pajamas, to the car, sped to the hospital, demanded to see you, I had to calm her down, and she was at the door before the nurse could finish saying we were allowed to see you. I was lucky to be able to make it in the car. She almost took off without me. I had to go to her house and wake her up."
" Dang."
" Yes. Dang, indeed." She nodded
" Well, I can't say sorry now that I'm in bed."
" I'll tell her for you. Get some rest, Inuyasha. We don't want Kagome to lose that confidence she has on you living now do we?"
Inuyasha smirked as she walked out of the room. He wanted to apologize to Kagome face to face. He got out of the bed and the nurse began to freak out. He walked out of the room and into the waiting area. He saw Kagome sitting in a chair and Raine sat next to her. He took a seat on her other side. She turned her head. Raine just watched.
" Hey, Inuyasha."
She turned to look at the wall. Then, her eyes popped wide open and had a surprised expression on her face as she whipped her head to look at him again.
" Inuyasha! What're you doing out of bed?"
" I came to apologize, doofus!"
" You shouldn't be out here!"
" Hey! I just broke my back to get out of bed! You could at least feel grateful!"
Kagome growled and narrowed her eyes at him.
" Uh--Inuyasha? You shouldn't have done that." gulped Raine.
Kagome slapped him hard on the cheek. She glared at him. She then stood up, stomped out of the hospital, and got in her mom's car, slamming the door. She acted like she was starting the car when she realized, she had no keys. So, she stomped out of the car, slamming the door, trudged into the waiting room and held out her hand in front of Rin's face. Rin held out the keys and Kagome snatched them, repeated her steps, and drove off, screeching the car. Inuyasha looked at Rin nervously.
" Should you let her drive a car when she's mad like that?"
" Well, yeah. If she wrecks it, she knows she'll have to buy her mom a new one, and she doesn't wanna do that, so I'm not worried."
" Oh, good point. But, she doesn't have to get so mad at me like that."
Raine set her hands on Inuyasha's shoulders and sat him down in the chair and stared into his eyes.
" Inuyasha. One, she's a girl. Two, she's really pissed. Three, you're not helping by being a jerk about it." said Raine.
" Young lady, he is not supposed to be out of his bed until he is healed!" said the nurse. Rin didn't take a very good liking to what the nurse had called her.
" Listen, lady! One, he's my friend! Two, you can't tell me what to do, for you are not my mother! Three, you're old! You should be the one in that bed, you look so dang ugly!"
Raine gulped and stayed next to Inuyasha. The siblings exchanged glances, then looked at Rin.
Rin walked over to the phone area and called Sesshomaru, who was at home, asleep, and didn't know anything about what had happened to Inuyasha. His snoring was interrupted when the phone next to his bed rang.
" Ah!" he yelped, falling off the bed, his hand falling on the dresser next to it that held the phone. He reached for the phone but missed and fell again.
" Stupid phone." he grunted.
He finally picked up the phone and answered.
" What?"
" Sesshomaru?"
" Oh, Rin it's you. What's wrong?"
" I'm at the hospital 'cause Inuyasha got in a car accident early this morning and Raine's been here all this time without you for some weird reason I'd figure you'd be the first out of bed and now Kagome's pissed at him and I've been called a young lady by an old lady and I need you to come pick us up 'cause Kagome tookthe only car so we can go home and work this out."
" Okay, you lost me back at you were called a young lady."
" Come on!"
" Why?"
" NOW!"
"Coming!" he slammed the phone, got dressed, and drove over to the hospital.
When he arrived, he walked inside. Rin grabbed Inuyasha by the hair and dragged him out. Raine followed. The nurse spoke.
" Uh! Miss! You can't take him!"
Rin glared at her annoyingly.
" Shut up." then she walked out the door, dragging Inuyasha and followed by Sesshomaru and Raine.
They arrived at Kagome's house soon afterward. Kagome was upstairs in her room, pouting. She wanted to cry, but she'd promised herself she wouldn't cry. No way she would start it.
Rin opened the door and walked in followed by Raine, Inuyasha, and Sesshomaru.
" Kagome! Come down stairs, please?" Raine yelled.
" No! I know he's down there! I ain't that stupid!" Kagome screamed.
" She's not that stupid, she says! Hang out down here while I go get her." Raine sighed.
" Are you sure you can?" asked Inuyasha, looking at the floor.
" Oh, yeah. Just one moment. I have it all taken care of." Raine fakely smiled.
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha took a seat on the couch and waited for about thirty seconds. They heard stuff breaking and things being thrown at the wall.
About two minutes later, Raine was dragging Kagome down the stairs. Her hair was a little messed up while Kagome had a scratch on her cheek.
" Sorry about the wait." Raine coughed.
Inuyasha nodded his head slowly. Kagome stood up, glaring at him, then at Raine.
" Why am I here?" she demanded, looking at her friend accusingly.
" You need to end the madness with Inuyasha. Now."
" It wasn't my fault! He didn't like the way I said things and had to make a come back at it. I tried to be nice and what do I get in return? I get a fight between me and him with our friends interferring." Kagome turned and looked at the stairs.
Inuyasha blinked.
" I'm sorry." he said softly.
" I don't think she heard you. Say it again." said Sesshomaru, popping the back of Inuyasha's head. Inuyasha glared at him.
" I'm sorry." he said a little louder.
" I'm sorry, what'd you say again?" asked Sesshomaru, cupping his ear to listen.
" I'M SORRY! I didn't mean to be so stuck-up about the situation! Okay, it was my fault! I appreciate the fact of what you did to see me and how much you were worried about me! And I'm grateful for your concern for me being outta bed when I shouldn't be!" Inuyasha shut his eyes as he yelled.
" I think I've gone deaf." Sesshomaru said, sitting on the couch.
Kagome's eyes widened at the stairs. Raine smiled.
" See? He said he was sorry. He even hurt Sesshomaru's ear, he said it so loud. Now, what are you supposed to do?" she nudged Kagome's shoulder.
Kagome turned around and looked at Inuyasha. She looked like she was crying, but the tears never fell.
" You're welcome, Inuyasha. I'm sorry, too." she then walked up to her bedroom and sat on her bed, staring at her wall. Inuyasha stood there with the same expression.
Sesshomaru looked at Rin, confused.
" Wasn't she supposed to hug him or kiss him or something to insure the make up?" he inquired.
Rin chuckled.
" She would never do it when someone's looking. Inuyasha, why don't you go up there and do what you gotta do?"
Inuyasha nodded and walked to Kagome's room. Rin sat with Sesshomaru and began to watch TV with him. Raine sat at the end of the couch.
Inuyasha reached her room. He knocked.
" Come in." said Kagome, sitting on her bed. Inuyasha walked in and sat next to her.
" Are you okay?"
" Yeah. Sorry I got so hot-headed before."
" No need to apologize. I understand you were just lookin' out for me. I appreciate it."
He smiled and put his hand on her shoulder. She looked up at him. Then she hugged him and he hugged her back.
Back down stairs, Sesshomaru and Rin were having...complications.
" Put it back on All My Children!" yelled Rin.
" No! Buffy the Vampire Slayer!" yelled Sesshomaru.
" All My Children!"
" No! No soap operas for you! Buffy the Vampire Slayer overpowers them!"
" Nu-uh! More people like soap operas better then Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you butt-head!"
Inuyasha and Kagome walked down the stairs and paused when they saw them fighting over the remote control. They stood and watched it all. Raine sighed.
" How boring." she whispered.
" Should we stop them?"
" I dunno. Maybe we should. With Rin holding the remote, there's no telling how long she won't let go or what she might do to get it." said Kagome.
"We should, I guess."
They slowly walked down the stairs, letting Rin strangle Sesshomaru and he tickle Rin. The remote was in both of their right hands. Kagome giggled at the sight along with Inuyasha. Inuyasha turned off the TV while Kagome pushed the couch potatoes apart.
" Hey! Turn that back on!" yelled Sesshomaru.
" No! Not unless you two wanna watch the discovery channel?" said Inuyasha, swinging the remote in his hand.
" Hey! How'd you get that?" demanded Rin.
" Kagome slipped it into his hands when she pushed you guys apart. Now, how about we all go see a movie or something? Inuyasha seems to be feeling better." said Raine.
" Amazing. She is such a meddler, but it always works out, I suppose." He thought.
Soon, school was back in session for the next Monday. The day that Raine's life would change forever.
A/N: Well, well. This was a good chapter. Anyways, this whole event was based off of an accident my uncle had a few years ago. He hit two mail boxes and stuff around four in the morning and was under critical care for a good several weeks. Anyways, please review.
