Chapter 14: Bring Me To Life

The surprise came when I opened my eyes. For a split second I thought I was in the after life, somehow in heaven. Then I remembered I didn't believe in God or heaven. I blinked several times, my eyes not used to light. The florescent light, the smell and the beeping, I remembered it all. I started to panic. I did not want to be there again. Last time was worse than living at home. Then when I returned home that was worse.

My mind made up reasons. Maybe I had never left. Maybe it had been all a dream. Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku... it was all made up by my fragile mind to keep me sane. I had almost believed it too, if not for the voice I heard right next to me.

"Kagome, you're awake!" His voice was low but hoarse. It was as if he hadn't drank anything in a long time. I blinked once more then turned my head towards him. His amber eyes were warm and filled with worry. My heart fluttered at the thought that he cared for me. I took in the rest of him. His hair was messy, looking as if he hadn't brushed it in a long time. He looked paler than I remembered but I wasn't sure if it was just the bad lighting. A smile made it's way to my lips.

"Inu...yasha...you're here too?" His lips, which were cracked and dry, turned up into a smile. He took my left hand in both his hands, making me notice for the first time I had an IV going into my right hand, as did he.

"Kagome, I'm so sorry." He started but I stopped him.

"No, there's nothing to be sorry for. You didn't do anything." His hands squeezed mine tightly. I saw tears falling from his eyes and wanted to brush them away but I could barely move my arms. Bother were bandaged. My cuts must have opened up at some point while I was asleep.

"Kagome, I was in there. I was there and I couldn't do anything. He wouldn't listen to me about you being our mate." It was strange hearing Inuyasha refer to himself and his demon half as two separate people. I wasn't sure long I'd been out but something must have happened while i was unconscious.

"But you did do something. You stopped. Just when you were about to do...you stopped." It was too hard to think about what almost happened. Especially since I had already been through something just like it with someone else.

"Kagome, I didn't want to do it. I know your past. When he was in control he looked up your info and found the link to the Kazumiya Center and broke into your file. I'm sorry it happened Kagome. I really am. I'll understand if you don't want to see me ever again." He let go of my hand but I wouldn't let him go. I took his wrist and pulled with what little strength I had.

"Stay, please. I'm not angry. Actually I'm almost relieved. I never told anyone about what happened there because I didn't want to relive it. Koga only knew because he had helped me get out once he saw what happened in there." I tried not to cry. No matter how relieved I was I was no where near over it all.

"Kagome, I..." He let out a deep breath and licked his lips twice. I was scared. I had no idea what was going through his mind but the way he hesitated scared me.

"Kagome, I really do know where he is. My demon half located him. Kagome, I know where Sota is, where your son is."

I felt my heart stop. Sota was born as a result of my 'father' raping me when I was 14. I had gotten pregnant and didn't know. It was a week later that the teacher had found my marks and I was sent to the center for the first time. When I started feeling sick in the morning I was sent to see the doctor and that's when I found out. I was pregnant, with the child of the man who was the reason I had done what got me in there in the first place.

I had a full mental breakdown then. They had me hooked up to an IV to give me what I needed but I shut down completely for six months.

One day I woke up and felt what I thought was a kick. I put my hand on my stomach, which had grown quite a bit to accommodate the growth inside me. The only thing I had been able to think about just then was how amazing it felt. Even though the child wasn't conceived through love he was a miracle. I vaguely remembered saying that I wanted to keep my child always being told that I was too young and he would be taken away soon after birth.

I then decided I would give him up for adoption. The center's doctor and psychiatrist helped me find a good family and everything had been set. Almost three months after we had found someone I went into labor. I tried to forget just how long it took because it was too hard to think about it all. I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. The adopting parents told me to give him a name, so he'd always have apiece of his mother. Without much thought I chose the name Sota. I had no more contact with the family after that and I tried to forget about them too.

I came back to reality when I heard a knock.

"Kagome! You're awake!" Sango's voice sounded overly happy, which made me laugh a little.

"Yes, Sango, I am. So what did I miss? You married with kids yet?" I smiled but it faded when I finally saw her face.

"Well...You've been out for three weeks, but I'm not a whore. I only started dating Miroku about two weeks ago." Her smile made me smile. I knew they were meant for each other. It just took something big to get them together.

"I'm happy for you. You need someone like him." She nodded moved back towards the door.

"Kagome, there's someone here who wants to see you." She moved out of the way and let someone inside. I had to blink a half a dozen times to be sure I saw right.

"Koga!" e came right over to me and hugged me tightly, ignoring Inuyasha completely.

"Hey Kags, I've missed you. Looks like the life of a rock drummer isn't all its cracked up to be, huh?" He gently touched my cheek. A gesture like that from any other male would have made me try to bite the finger. Not from Koga though, he was the one guy I never had to worry about trying anything. Inuyasha growled though.

"Relax, dog breath, i won't do anything to my sister. You sick pig..." Koga glared at Inuyasha, who in turn glared back.

"Watch it wolf boy! I can do whatever I want when it concerns my mate." His comment made me blush a little. Koga stared dumbfounded.

"Really? You're his mate? Tell me it's a joke Kagome!" Koga was pleading. He really didn't want me to be part of his life in that way.

"He isn't. I am his mate, forever. Sorry Koga but you'll have to get over whatever you have against him. Especially since I'm gonna make you godfather of my first born." The look on his face was worth the comment. Inuyasha had slight surprise on his face, he hadn't expected talk of having children.

"But Kagome! There are millions of demons in the world and you're fated to be his? Now that's just cruel! Hasn't she suffered enough God?" Koga kept ranting which only made me laugh. I saw Inuyasha smile while pretending to get him to stop.

After a few more minutes Koga had to leave. I said bye and told him I'd talk to him as soon as I was able. Everyone calmed a little, relieved everything was good. Inuyasha and I talked most of the night. We had been given special privileges since Inuyasha was related to Sesshomaru and I was Inuyasha's mate.

Some demon nurse had come in to check my vitals and Inuyasha's and help me get to where we would be eating. We weren't with the others who were in here. We had been brought into a room with a large dinning table. There were four seats prepared so I assumed we'd be joined by someone else. I was hoping for Sango and Miroku but it wasn't them.

Sesshomaru came in with a girl. Her hair was pinned up, her eyes an odd shade of red. I figured then that she was a demon too. Sesshomaru pulled out her chair before sitting down himself.

"It's nice to see you awake Kagome. This is Kagura, she is my wife and my secretary." I nodded politely to her, trying to understand everything. Had he gotten married while I was unconscious or had he cheated on her a few years back.

Supper was great. Steak and potatoes with fresh bread and salad. The conversation was light, the others mostly filled me in on what I had missed and spoke about Inuyasha's improvements. I was just happy he was back to the way he'd been that first day, minus the wench part.

After an hour we headed back to our room. I laid next to Inuyasha in his bed, my head resting on his chest. I hadn't felt so comfortable with a guy in a very long time.

"It's okay, Kagome. I won't hurt you and neither will my demon half." He played with my a strand of my hair, gently twirling it. I closed my eyes and started to sing.

Inuyasha had saved me even though neither of us saw it that way at the time. I would never have gotten help for my cutting again and I would have died from it one day.

My voice was slightly haunted, the words described our strange relationship pretty accurately up to that point. It felt right.

When I finished Inuyasha moved my head up, lowering his face close to mine.

"I've been wanting to do this again for a while." He kissed me deeply. It wasn't as amazing as the first kiss we shared but it felt good. His scent soon filled the room and I felt him pull back, not just his lips, but his entire body.

"Sorry, I've been here for the same amount of time as you. I have never gone so long without... something..." He looked away, shamed. I forced his head back to look at me.

"No, it's okay, I understand. Maybe when we get out of here we could move slowly and see how things go, okay?" He nodded and kissed my head. I closed my eyes, smiling.

Unfortunately fate had other things in mind.

A/N: There, I tried my best without the actual lyrics. R&R and let me know what you all think please.
