All right guys, I am on a role! Here is the chapter that will complete that awful cliffy. Hope you guys enjoyed that last chapter, and I hope you guys enjoy this one. Once again, I appreciate you guys reading and reviewing. You guys are the best in the whole world! Well, here we go again!
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 14
Last time...
"Get in the closet Kagome." Inuyasha tried to whisper. Kagome was to scared to move though. He had to protect he no matter what happened. "Please, Kagome, go." Inuyasha pleaded with her. Kagome got up a second to late. Their attacker came slowly into the room.
"Kouga?" Kagome whispered, absolutely scared.
Present time...
"Why hello, you guys. Inuyasha and Kagome in the same hotel room. Isn't that sweet?" Kouga walked into the room, standing on the opposite side of Inuyasha. Kagome was in between the both of them.
"What are you doing here, Kouga?" Kagome asked shakily.
"I am here it get my whore of a girlfriend back, but I don't know if I want tainted goods." Kouga finally brought out his gun, and massaged it lightly.
"Look, you bastard-" Inuyasha started, but Kouga pointed the gun at his face. Kagome gasped in horror.
"You probably should shut your fucking mouth." Kouga was crazy, and Kagome and Inuyasha knew it by his eyes.
"Please Kouga." Kagome didn't want anyone to die, so she needed to get Kouga to calm down.
"Oh, so now you want to say please." Kouga went around the bed to Inuyasha, pointing the gun in his face. Inuyasha didn't back down, because he knew that he had to protect Kagome. Kouga placed the nozzle of the gun to Inuyasha's forehead. Kagome wanted to stop him, but she was scared Kouga might shot her or Inuyasha. "What would you do to save your precious Inuyasha?" Kouga asked Kagome.
"Anything, Kouga. Please don't hurt him, I'll do anything." Kagome said, now standing up next to both of the guys.
"Will you let her do anything, Inuyasha?"
"Hell no!" Inuyasha said nastily.
"Inuyasha don't." Kagome tried to move in front of Inuyasha to get into Kouga's line of sight, but Inuyasha was a head taller than her, and saw right over her.
"Yeah, Inuyasha let her do this. Let a woman protect you, fucking pansy." Kouga grabbed Kagome up with one arm, and held her close. He gave her a bruising kiss right on her lips. When he was done kissing her, he threw her roughly on the bed. "Would you give up your virginity to save Inuyasha?" Kouga asked Kagome, with a smile on his face.
"Fuck you man, she is NOT giving up her virginity to your punk ass!" Inuyasha took a step further. "Kill me, fucker!"
"Inuyasha, stop!" Kagome got up, and stood up in front of Kouga, her breath ragged. "You can take whatever you want from me, just don't hurt Inuyasha." Kagome began crying. "Don't hurt him, Kouga, please. Promise me you won't hurt him." Kouga looked down at her with tears running down her cheeks. He smiled a horny, perverted smile down at her.
"Well, well, well, Inuyasha. It looks like you missed out on her virginity." Kouga grabbed Kagome's breast, roughly. She yelped, but didn't protest against him. She knew if Inuyasha was going to have any kind of chance of living, she had to give in to Kouga.
"Don't you dare touch her!" Inuyasha wanted so badly to attack him, but he had Kagome in his arms.
"Oh, Inuyasha. Poor, poor Inuyasha." Kouga gave a low chuckle. "How bad do you want her virginity, Inuyasha?"
"I am not going to take that away from her, jackass. If she wants to give her virginity, then she'll give it when she's damn well ready. I'm pretty sure that isn't right now." Inuyasha said, lowly.
"Hmm...that is not the answer I wanted to hear." Kouga grabbed Kagome roughly by her neck, and pointed the gun at her temple. She started crying hysterically now.
"Tell...him...what he...wants...to hear." Kagome tried to say during short choppy breaths.
"No, Kagome." Inuyasha was never going to admit that he wanted Kagome's virginity. He wanted Kagome, but not her freaking virginity.
"Oh, come on, guys. Let's not make this difficult." Kouga readied the gun to shoot, and pointed it back to Kagome's head.
"Inuyasha, just say it, okay." Kagome looked at Inuyasha with sad, teary eyes. "It's okay."
"No, Kagome, please don't make me say that." Inuyasha's voice cracked, but he still held strong.
"Oh, this is so sweet and dandy, but I don't really love this whole discussion crap. How about this?" Kouga shoved Kagome on her knees, and made her face him. "Either I shove myself down her mouth, while you are standing here, and still take her virginity. Or you take her virginity. Make a choice, Inuyasha. And Kagome dear, keep your mouth around this." Kouga shoved the gun into her mouth. "Get some good practice."
"You fucking bastard." Inuyasha was scared for Kagome, but he had to stop Kouga. Kagome couldn't give her virginity up for this bastard, or even to himself, that was ridiculous.
"You have to make a choice, Inuyasha." Kouga smiled at him with craziness in his eyes. Inuyasha roared and pounced on Kouga, jumping over Kagome. He heard a deafening gun shot, but kept punching the shit out Kouga.
"Fuck you, Kouga!" Inuyasha punched him, then stood up and grabbed the gun out of his hands, and pointed it at him. "I should shoot your ass."
"You mean like I just shot Kagome." Kouga said through the bloody mess on his face. Inuyasha turned sharply to Kagome, who was laying motionless at Kouga's feet. He bent down to her, keeping an eye on Kouga. She was laying on her side, facing opposite of them.
"Kagome?" He turned her over, and discovered that Kouga shot her in her stomach. "Oh Kami! Kagome, can you hear me?" He grabbed her up in his arms, and held her tightly.
"A dead person can't hear you." Kouga said, laughing. Inuyasha placed Kagome on the ground, and grabbed Kouga up. He slammed him against the wall, and shoved the gun under his chin.
"How would you like to die tonight, Kouga?"
"You can't do it, Inuyasha. You are a punk." Kouga spat out.
"I can and I will, because you hurt Kagome." Inuyasha readied the gun to shoot, and placed it back under his chin.
"STOP! DROP THE WEAPON! THIS IS THE POLICE!" A man shouted at the doorway.
"Looks like the cops are going to put a dapper on killing poor old me." Kouga looked tired all of a sudden, like he was feeling the effects of the beating and being crazy.
"DROP THE WEAPON OR I WILL SHOOT!"
"Okay, okay." Inuyasha threw the weapon toward the cop.
"Okay, son, put him down." The cop kept his weapon drawn, but stopped with the threats.
"He is the one who came in here, and he shot Kagome. He's not going anywhere."
"My partner is here, and he will take care of him then. You said someone was shot?" the cop was standing next to them now, gun down at his side.
"Yes." Inuyasha let go of Kouga who slipped down to the floor. Inuyasha rushed to Kagome and picked her up bridal style.
"Son, put her back down, so I can assess her injuries." The police watched as Inuyasha placed Kagome gently in the bed, and radioed in a ambulance.
"It smells like death in here." Inuyasha said. The cop looked at him, questioningly.
"The ambulance is on their way. Let me have a look at her." Inuyasha stood to the side, while he assessed Kagome's condition. He began to apply pressure with a pillow cover. "She still has a pulse, but it is very weak. She needs to get to a hospital now." Kagome looked so pale, and when the police man moved out of the way, Inuyasha was back at her side.
"Please, Kagome, don't die on me, okay? I'm so sorry I didn't protect you. Kami, Kagome, don't give up. Fight it, okay?" Inuyasha was pushed aside as the paramedics rushed in. Kagome wasn't responding, and had a low pulse. They placed her on the gurney, and rushed her down to the ambulance before Inuyasha realized what was going on. The cops were trying to talk to him, but he couldn't speak. All he could think about was Kagome, and how he promised to protect her, but it didn't work out that way.
"Son, you have to tell me what happened." The cop was kneeled down in front of Inuyasha, because he had taken refuge in a chair. The cop had his pen and pad ready.
"He came in and tried to kill us. He tried to take her virginity. He tried to have me take her virginity. I tackled him, and he shot her. Then you guys came. There isn't much more to say. Can I go to Kagome now?" Inuyasha said slow enough for the cop to copy it all down.
"Sure, this officer will take you to the hospital." After Inuyasha put on a shirt and shoes, he followed a younger guy to his squad car, then he was taken to the hospital. He ran in, and asked the receptionist where Kagome Higurashi was.
"She is in surgery, darling. You are gonna have to wait." Inuyasha looked around for a waiting area, and sat there. He put his head back, and didn't feel his self drift off, until he heard someone call his name. He jerked awake, and cracked the crick in his neck at the same time.
"Mrs. Higurashi." Inuyasha stood up, and hugged her tightly. He hadn't seen her in so long, he had forgotten what she looked like.
"What happened to my baby?" Inuyasha could tell that when the cops gave her that call, that they had told her roughly, and without much information.
"She's in surgery right now. She was shot in her stomach." Inuyasha sat her down, and rubbed the older lady's back gently.
"How could this happen, Inuyasha?" Mrs. Higurashi was crying.
"Kouga's crazy self came after her, because he thought she was with me." Inuyasha remembered his phone call earlier with Kouga. That was probably fuel to the fire. Inuyasha placed his head in his hands. "I'm so sorry, Mrs. Higurashi. I should have protected her."
"I'm sure you did all you could." She patted him on his back. "I called Sango, and told her to come up here."
"Wait a second, how did you get up here so fast?"
"Kagome didn't know that I was up here for work. I was down the street at another hotel when I got the call on my cell phone."
"Oh, that explains it."
"How long have you been out here?"
"Umm...what time is it?"
"It is 2:37."
"An hour or so. I have no idea how long she's going to be in there for surgery." He sat back against the back of the chair again.
"Do you want a coffee or anything? You look so beaten down and tired." Mrs. Higurashi asked standing up.
"No, I'm okay. Thank you, though." Inuyasha watched as Mrs. Higurashi asked where she could get a coffee. Inuyasha placed his head back against the wall again, and was still awake, but pretended to be asleep. He listened to Mrs. Higurashi drink her coffee, and new patients coming into the emergency room. It probably had been another hour when he heard Miroku and Sango rush into the emergency room.
"Mrs. Higurashi!" They both ran over to the older woman, and finally Inuyasha opened his eyes.
"Hello Sango." They hugged, and then Sango introduced Miroku. Sango looked over to Inuyasha and made a face at him.
"What did you do to her?" Sango glared deeply at him.
"Sango-" Mrs. Higurashi started, but Sango was interrupted by Inuyasha standing abruptly.
"What do you think Sango? Huh? Do you think I shot her? Yeah, that sounds about right. Oh, please."
"Kagome should have never come up here and seen you. You are a good for nothing bastard, and Kagome deserves better." Sango pushed Inuyasha roughly, but Inuyasha grabbed her hands, and brought her close.
"Like Kouga, Sango?" Inuyasha pushed her away from him slightly. "Kouga came into the hotel room, and he tried to take Kagome's virginity, then tried to have me take her virginity. Then I tackled him, and he shot her in her stomach. She had that gun in her mouth before I tackled him. I saved her fucking life, Sango. He could blown off her head, Sango." Inuyasha told the story in two long breaths. Everyone was taken aback by the information that he just told.
"You better hope so, Inuyasha. If my best friend dies in there, you will be the first person I kill." Sango walked away, and sat on the other side of the waiting room.
"Sorry, man." Miroku patted Inuyasha's shoulder and sat down by a very pissed off Sango. Inuyasha and Mrs. Higurashi sat back down in their seats.
"Sorry, Mrs. Higurashi."
"It's okay, Inuyasha. If what you say is true, then I owe you so many thank yous."
"No need. You know I've been protecting Kagome since the beginning of time. I'm just continuing the trend."
"I always knew that that Kouga boy was trouble, but Kagome told me that he was a good man. Obviously he wasn't, and he belongs in an insane asylum." Mrs. Higurashi was crying again. "Thank you, Inuyasha."
"Don't thank me, Mrs. Higurashi. She still is in there fighting for her life."
"Well at least I'm worrying about her fighting for her life, and not worrying about where I'm going to bury her." They sat back, and waited patiently for the doctors to come out.
Four Hours Later...
"Mrs. Higurashi?" An older gentlemen came out to the emergency room. He had blood on the front of his scrubs.
"Oh, Kami! Is my daughter okay? Please tell me she is okay." Everyone was standing up by now, and was waiting for the doctor's response.
"It was a very close call, but she is stable, and is up in the ICU. Second floor." The doctor gave a genuine smile.
"Oh thank Kami!" Sango cried out, and hugged everyone except Inuyasha, of course.
"Thank you so much, Dr..." Inuyasha reached out to shake his hand.
"My name is Dr. Yamamoto. I won't be her doctor up in the ICU, but if you have any further questions, just ask for me or the resident doctor up there." The doctor told them what room Kagome was in and they rushed up to see her.
"The doctor said she is still out cold though." Miroku mentioned on the elevator.
"I don't care. I need to see her, make sure she is okay." Inuyasha rushed out the elevator door even before it was completely open. Inuyasha went to the room the doctor said Kagome was in. He gave a light knock, and went in slowly. He walked in and walked back out.
"What's wrong, man?" Miroku saw Inuyasha's ashen face.
"She's hooked up to all these tubes, and she's so pale. I don't think I can do it." Miroku led Inuyasha away from the door, and let Sango and Mrs. Higurashi in.
"Well, what are you going to do when she wakes up and wonders where you are? She's going to be pissed off at you for not being there." Miroku tried to convince Inuyasha that he needed to be there for her.
"I understand that, but she looks so sick. I mean I thought she was dead, and I know that she isn't, but seeing her in that hospital bed, all hooked up to tubes and machines, makes me remember that I thought she was dead."
"Man, you aren't making a whole lot of sense. Just get your ass in there, and be there for her."
"I think I might be sick, though." Inuyasha was right in front of the door, but hesitated to go in.
"You will be okay, man." They walked in, and Inuyasha had his head down. Miroku patted Inuyasha's back reassuringly. "You'll be okay." Miroku whispered.
"She's okay, Inuyasha." Mrs. Higurashi said. "She might be hooked up to all these things, but they are helping her to heal. Just think about it like that." Inuyasha looked up at Kagome, and a nauseous wave hit him, and his balance wavered a little.
"Inuyasha?" Miroku said, trying to hold him stable. Inuyasha tried to keep the room from spinning by putting his hands to his head.
"I think I'm going to be okay." Inuyasha walked over to Kagome's bedside, and looked at her pale face. "You guys think I can be alone with her for just a little bit?" Inuyasha looked at the other people in the room.
"No way, Inuyasha. You don't deserve to be with her alone." Sango protested.
"Of course you can dear." Mrs. Higurashi said, and ushered Miroku and an upset Sango out of the room. Inuyasha grabbed a chair, and pulled it up next to Kagome's bed. He grabbed Kagome's limp hand, that still had dried blood encrusted into her nails. He brushed a strand of hair back behind her hair.
"Hey, Kagome, it's Inuyasha here. I really want you to wake up, woman, because I have to tell you that I have never been so scared and worried in all of my life. Please just be okay, Kagome. I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you. You have to be okay, and you have to forgive me. Please forgive me, Kagome. I care so much about you, and can't watch you suffering." Inuyasha brushed her cheek. "Forgive me."
"Okay, that's enough time with her. Never know what you might try to do with her when you're alone." Sango busted in on Inuyasha's private moment.
"Okay, Sango, enough is enough. I'm sick and tired of you with all this bullshit. I care for Kagome, and even though I made my mistakes, I have always been there for her." Inuyasha retaliated.
"Oh, you have, have you?" Sango walked up to him, and looked up at his strong face. "So, you were there for her when she went through rough break-ups? Or when one of our close friends died from a drunk driver? Or when her dad past away?"
"What? Mr. Higurashi past away?" Inuyasha looked at Mrs. Higurashi.
"You didn't even know?" Sango looked at him bewildered. "Some friend."
"When did this happen, Mrs. Higurashi?" Inuyasha asked.
"It happened about a year ago. He was diagnosed with cancer a few months after you left, and past away not to long after that. It was bittersweet, though, because he died, yes, but at least he is no longer suffering." Mrs. Higurashi had a sad smile on her face.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't know, I mean, no one told me."
"How could anyone tell you, Inuyasha? You were untouchable over there in Japan. Kagome wanted to so bad, because you and her dad were close, but you were gone, and she thought forever. Why would anyone that isn't coming back care?" Sango said. Inuyasha couldn't respond to her, because it was true. Kagome's dad was like a father to him, they were really close friends. He looked down at the sleeping Kagome, and felt so bad for her. He had lost his parents so long ago, when he was ten. He couldn't imagine losing a parent at Kagome's age.
"I do care, but I was gone." Inuyasha's gaze was downcast.
"It will be okay, Inuyasha. I'm sure Kagome will understand."
"But why didn't she tell me that Mr. Higurashi..." Inuyasha's sentence ran off.
"Maybe it's because you were to busy breaking her heart." Sango said, bluntly.
"Just shut up, Sango. I don't give a shit about what you think of me!" Inuyasha and Sango were at each other's throats again when a nurse ran in.
"If you all do not quite down, we are going to have to ask you to leave. This is a hospital room, and your friend just got shot. Please respect that." The nurse left abruptly. Sango and Miroku left the room for a breather, and Inuyasha sat down in a chair across from Kagome's bed.
"Don't worry about Sango, Inuyasha. She's just angry at a lot of things, and you are the only one she can take it out on right now. It's not you." Mrs. Higurashi was on Kagome's bedside, holding her limp hand.
"Whatever. She can be mad, I'm not going to take that crap anymore."
"You have to give her the benefit of the doubt, darling."
"Give her the benefit of the doubt? Mrs. Higurashi, I have just watched Kagome shot, and she almost died. If anyone should be angry, then it should be me." Inuyasha said, pissed off.
"I understand, Inuyasha. Maybe you two should just avoid each other for a while."
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
Thirteen hours later...
Inuyasha and Miroku walked back into the hospital room where Kagome was at. Mrs. Higurashi and Miroku had finally convinced Inuyasha to go get something to eat, and take a small nap at Mrs. Higurashi's hotel room. Inuyasha and Miroku were surprised when met with Kagome's bright smile. Inuyasha looked at her shocked. He ran over to her and wrapped her up into a tight hug.
"We should leave the two alone, ladies." Sango protested of course, but all three left anyway.
"I thought I never would see your smile ever again." Inuyasha said into Kagome's neck.
"It's okay, Inuyasha. I'm okay." Kagome said. He wouldn't let go until she said that she couldn't breath.
"I'm sorry." Inuyasha laughed, and brushed a strand of hair out of her air affectionately. Kagome blushed deeply at the touch.
"It's okay, Inuyasha." She grabbed Inuyasha's hand, and held it in her lap. "So, they tell me I've been out for a while. Everybody is so worried about me, but how are you doing?" Kagome looked at him sincerely.
"I'm doing all right." Inuyasha said.
"Well, that's descriptive. W-what happened after..." Kagome couldn't finish, but Inuyasha knew that she wanted to know what happened after she got shot.
"Well, I beat his ass down to the ground before I even realized what had happened to you. The police ran in, and I think he's in jail, after they clean up his face." Inuyasha was proud of that.
"Thank you, Inuyasha." Kagome said, squeezing his hand in her lap.
"Don't say thank you, Kagome. Look at what happened to you, I was supposed to protect you."
"You-" Kagome was cut off when Sango rushed into the room.
"Time's up." Sango said, walking over to Kagome's opposite bedside.
"We aren't done." Inuyasha said, getting angry.
"So what? You don't deserve the time alone with her." Sango said. "How are you feeling, Kagome? Do you need anything?"
"Yes. I would like some extra time with Inuyasha, please." Kagome said, sweetly to a shocked Sango.
"But he's a jackass, Kagome. Can't you see that?"
"We have to talk about some things, okay? Don't worry, I'll be fine." Kagome smiled at her, to reassure her that she really was okay.
"Yeah, Sango, go ahead and go. She will be fine." Inuyasha said, slyly.
"Shut up, asshole." Sango got up and left, fuming as usual.
"You know I'm about sick of that girl. She has been on my ass since..." Inuyasha ran off thinking of when Sango started hating him.
"Since she first met you, I think." They shared a hearty laugh. "Inuyasha, you did protect me. That gun was in my mouth, and I would probably would have been dead, if it wasn't for you. You saved my life, Inuyasha, and I am forever grateful." Kagome reached over, and kissed him on his cheek.
"That hurt didn't it?" Inuyasha looked at her stomach, where there was a slight bulge from the bandages.
"Yeah, but it was worth seeing your blush." She giggled, when Inuyasha felt his warm face. "A little old kiss on the cheek made you blush." She teased.
"Very funny, Kagome." Inuyasha laughed a little. Sango busted back into the room.
"I don't care how much time you needed. Your time is up, and you better be done!" Sango's voice was raised, and her face was a bright red.
"We're done. Sango. Sorry to keep you waiting." Kagome said, gently with a smile. Sango looked a little confused, but took the answer happily. She told the others to join them in the hospital room.
"Well, you're looking well, Ms. Kagome." Miroku said, with a smile.
"Thanks Miroku. Thanks to all you guys, you know, for being here for me." Kagome said to her mom, Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha. They were all talking to each other, when a young man came into the room.
"Good afternoon. My name is Dr. Robinson, and I will be taking care of-" Dr. Robinson looked at the chart in his hands. "-Mrs. Higurashi."
"Mrs. Higurashi is my mother, Dr. Robinson. I'm just Kagome." Kagome introduced everyone in the room.
"Well, Kagome, if I could take a look at you that would be fantastic." The doctor walked over to the bed, but Inuyasha was in the way. "Excuse me, sir."
"How old are you, Doctor?" Inuyasha asked looking at him like he was a challenge.
"Inuyasha, what's that have to do with anything?" Kagome hissed at him.
"It's okay, I get that a lot. I'm twenty-six. I know it's young for a doctor, but I started early when I was young, and skipped this, and took that early. It's a long story, but here I am." Inuyasha stood up to him, and measured him up. Of course, Inuyasha was taller then him, being he was taller then usual men (6'3"). He moved out of his way, only because Kagome needed his care. "All right, lets see what we are dealing with."
"Do you want me to lift up this thing?" Kagome looked up at him, innocently.
"If you are comfortable." Kagome lifts the hospital garment up enough so he could see her wounds, and left the blanket on her lower parts.
"Kami, don't you think that's a little personal?" Inuyasha said, from behind them.
"Sir, I'm just doing my job, okay?" Dr. Robinson said in a calm, "doctorly" voice.
"Inuyasha, let him do his job." Kagome said, frowning at him.
"Whatever. Tell him to keep his job appropriate." Inuyasha walked over to the window and looked outside.
"Well, your stitches have bled through the bandages. I'm going to get a nurse in here to redress that for you. Do you feel any pain at all?"
"A little, but I believe that a nurse has refilled my morphine recently." He looked at her chart.
"You are right about that, but you probably need a refill here soon. Well, do you have any questions for me? Any of you?" Dr. Robinson asked the room.
"Yeah, when can she leave?" Mrs. Higurashi asked him.
"As soon as her stitches heal a little better, and we are sure that the led from that bullet didn't seep into her blood. Getting led poison would not be good. After all this hospital stuff should be over."
"So is that what? Tomorrow? Next week? A date would be nice, Doc." Inuyasha said, rudely.
"Kami, Inuyasha, will you stop being so rude?" Kagome glared at him.
"It's okay, Kagome." The doctor said, with a smile.
"That should be Ms. Higurashi." Inuyasha walked over to the doctor, and peered slightly down at him.
"I believe that you are the young man that was in the hotel room with Kagome, right?" Dr. Robinson wasn't intimidated by Inuyasha's irritated statute.
"What's it to you to know?" Inuyasha growled out.
"You are being aggressive toward people, and you went through something very dramatic last night. Are you experiencing any dizziness or any other problems?"
"Yeah, whenever you open your mouth, I feel like punching you in your face. Is that a problem that you can fix?" Inuyasha said, rolling up even more on Dr. Robinson.
"Is there something that is bothering you, besides me? Maybe something that you need to talk about to someone?"
"Well, it ain't gonna be you, Doctor." Inuyasha had his hands clenched ready to punch.
"Inuyasha, please, just calm down." Kagome said, to him reaching for his hand. He snatched it away from her, though.
"Listen to Kagome, Inuyasha. I'm sure she knows much about you. By the way, is this your boyfriend?" Dr. Robinson asked Kagome.
"No he isn't, Doctor. Look, I think that if there is nothing else that we are going to all calm down here." Kagome smiled up at the doctor, and he kindly smiled back. "Let him by, Inuyasha." Inuyasha hesitantly let Dr. Robinson through.
"If you have any further questions or concerns, please just have a nurse page me. Thank you for your time." Dr. Robinson left the room, promptly, and immediately everyone jumped on Inuyasha.
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
"He was just doing his damn job!"
"Why would you treat that young man that way?'
"Why do you have to be such a jerk?"
"Will you guys lay off it! He was coming on to Kagome, and that isn't the bedside manner that he was taught in freaking med school." Inuyasha walked back over to the window and continued to look out.
"Are you mad, Inuyasha? He's my doctor, and he's here to help me. He was just doing his job." Kagome protested.
"Whatever, Kagome, he was flirting and asking you questions that he didn't need to ask you. Just forget it, he's not going to be messing with you anymore." Inuyasha quickly walked out of the room.
"Inuyasha! Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled after him.
"Should I stop him?" Miroku asked standing by the door.
"I don't think that you can. He is determined to do whatever, I guess." Kagome gave up on trying to stop Inuyasha. Inuyasha stormed through the hallway looking for Dr. Robinson.
"Where is Dr. Robinson?" Inuyasha asked the nurses at the desk.
"He's in the break room. Would you like me to get him?" The older nurse asked, politely.
"Yeah." Inuyasha turned and leaned on the nurses' desk.
"Inuyasha, man." Miroku jogged toward him. "Look, there is no reason to talk to Dr. Robinson. We won't let him talk like that to Kagome, but you're not going about it the right way."
"I don't care what the right way is. He needs to shut his fucking mouth about Kagome." Inuyasha turned to Miroku with rage in his eyes.
"Dude, let's just get out of here, and-" Inuyasha cut Miroku off.
"I ain't going no where. This fucking doctor is going to-"
"Excuse me, sir. Was there something that I could help you with?" Dr. Robinson walked up to them nonchalantly.
"Yeah." Inuyasha grabbed Dr. Robinson up by his collar.
"Dr. Robinson! I'm calling security!" One of the nurses yelled.
"Don't bother, Irene. Listen, Inuyasha, right? I don't understand what's wrong." Inuyasha wasn't loosening his grip.
"You better keep away from her, okay? She doesn't need anyone gawking or flirting at or with her, you understand?" Inuyasha said, menacingly.
"What you have to understand is that Kagome-" Inuyasha's grip tightened further.
"I think you should definitely stick with Miss Higurashi."
"What you have to understand is that Miss Higurashi is my patient, and I must care for her if you want her to heal." Dr. Robinson showed no worry, like he dealt with disgruntled people all the time.
"I don't care how you do it, but get her another doctor. You are not stepping another foot into her room." Inuyasha pushed Dr. Robinson roughly, but he merely stumbled. "Now, fuck off." Inuyasha briskly walked back to Kagome's room. Miroku walked over to the doctor to make sure he was okay.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Robinson. They have had a huge thing for each other since for like forever, and he's just rekindling everything with her, and you seem like a threat to him. So, again, sorry."
"It's okay. I have dealt with his kind before. I respect that he is protecting her, but he has to learn a different way to handle the situation." Dr. Robinson walked away like nothing happened, reassuring the nurses that he was okay.
"Dude! What the hell was that?" Miroku practically shouted when he went into the room.
"What happened?" Kagome's face screamed worry. She looked over at Inuyasha, who had pulled up a chair to her bedside again.
"I just told him to respect that you were his patient, and not a piece of meat." Inuyasha put into nicer terms. Kagome glared at him, and then looked at Miroku. He frowned at Inuyasha and looked at the ladies in the room who were now looking at him.
"Well...I guess you could put it that way." Miroku shrugged and took a seat with Sango on a small bench.
Late in the night...
"Kagome, do you mind if I go to the hotel to get some sleep, darling?" Mrs. Higurashi asked her daughter.
"Of course, Mom. Please take those two with you." Kagome laughed at Miroku and Sango, who had fell asleep in a awkward position. Mrs. Higurashi woke them up, and after a few minutes of reassuring the three of them that she would be okay, they left for a much needed rest. Inuyasha had went downstairs to get some coffee, and when he walked in and it was only Kagome, he was a little surprised.
"Where is everyone?" He said and sat down next to her bed.
"I sent them home. You could probably still catch them if you want to go get some rest." Kagome said, with a guilty feeling in her voice.
"I'm fine right here. I want to be here with you, okay? Don't feel guilty or anything." Inuyasha grabbed her delicate hand. They exchanged a blush when there was a knock on the door.
"I'm here to check your vitals, Miss Higurashi." In walked the same nurse that Inuyasha was getting fresh with not only two days ago. "Well, Mr. Takahashi, you're back."
"Yeah." Inuyasha said, nonchalantly. Kagome got nervous that the girl might try something, but she very quickly took her vitals, and left.
"Well, I'm guessing she isn't very happy with you." Kagome smiled at him, jokingly.
"Whatever. She is a whore, and isn't good for nothing but a loose hole."
"How exactly do you know her hole is loose?" Inuyasha hesitantly looked over at Kagome, who had a pissed off look in her eyes.
"It's just her type. I didn't do anything with her except a kiss here and there." Inuyasha turned back to the TV.
"Whatever, I don't even care." Kagome folded her arms in front of her chest.
"Yes you do, and you know it." Inuyasha leaned over the edge of the bed and got into her face with a bright smile.
"Okay, say I do care, which I don't, but say I do. Would you tell me about all the girls you been with?" Kagome wasn't speaking hypothetically, and they both knew it. Inuyasha slowly wiped the smile off his face, and sat back in his chair slowly.
"I don't kiss and tell." Was his sly remark. Kagome huffed at him.
"You mean you don't fuck and tell. That's much different, you know?" Kagome said, meanly.
"Right, I don't fuck and tell. I'm not going to tell you who I fucked, when I fucked them, where I fucked them, why I fucked them, or how fucked them." Inuyasha said, nastily back at her.
"I don't care remember? Same goes for me then." Kagome said, with a small smirk on his face. She knew that really got to Inuyasha. That was really crawling under his skin, even though he knew that she never had sex.
"You've never fucked anyone, Kagome."
"How do you know? Two years is a long time to be gone."
"Yeah right!" Inuyasha chuckled.
"Maybe I haven't had sex with anyone, but how do you know I'm a virgin at everything else?" Kagome was so doing this on purpose.
"We did plenty in your bedroom that night." Inuyasha watched her blush, while waiting for her response.
"I was most definitely holding my own that night, so do you know that was my first time doing anything like that, or was I more experienced?" Kagome was putting on a front, but Inuyasha didn't know that. Her and Kouga didn't do anything but kiss, even though he wanted more.
"Shut up, Kagome. You're a liar. I know what a virgin feels like in bed, and you were pretty much like her, so I know better than that." Inuyasha was back in her face to break down her facade.
"Oh, so now you've taken some girls virginity. You horny bastard! And you were trying to take mine that night, weren't you? You just want me because I will be a score for you. A score that is tight, and that will feel really good for you, wouldn't it? Forget you, Inuyasha. I should call Dr. Robinson in here. I bet he wouldn't take advantage of the fact that I'm a virgin! I can't stand you! Get out!"
"Oh please, you think I am trying to take advantage of you? If anyone wants to take advantage of you, it's not me, but it's every man out there. I mean come on! Your gullible and you trust everyone out there."
"Just get out!" Kagome sat directly up, and was instantly stopped by a rush of pain. "Oh Kami!" Kagome said loudly in pain.
"Kagome, sit back, sit back." Inuyasha jumped right to her need. "Do you need me to call a nurse?"
"No, Dr. Robinson." Kagome said, clutching her stomach.
"No way, I told him that he isn't coming back in here." Inuyasha said, looking at the nurses button on the bed. Kagome removed her hand from her stomach which was soaked from blood.
"Call him now, Inuyasha." Inuyasha rushed out into the hallway and skidded to a stop at the nurses station.
"I need Dr. Robinson, now. Kagome's bleeding." Inuyasha rushed out.
"Okay, calm down. Which room is she in?" The nurse said, calmly.
"Dr. Robinson knows. Just get his ass into her room, and stop the bleeding!" Inuyasha ran back to Kagome's room. "Are you okay?" Kagome was still holding her stomach, and shook her head no.
"Is he coming? Is anyone coming?" Kagome said, in pain.
"Well, I told them that they need to get him and send him to you. I think I was pretty convincing." Inuyasha stroked her hair. "Just hold on for a little bit longer, okay?" Kagome nodded weakly, when Dr. Robinson and a nurse rushed into the room.
"What's going on?" Dr. Robinson said, laying automatically laying Kagome's bed down. Inuyasha bit back his mean comment of: "Your the doctor, so you tell me."
"I think her wound opened back up." Inuyasha said, still brushing Kagome's hair to soothe her.
"Okay, Inuyasha, let us make sure everything is okay. Then you can come back."
"What?" Inuyasha said looking at him like he was crazy.
"Just let them take care of me, Inuyasha. I'm not going anywhere, I promise." Kagome said with a smile.
"I won't be far Kagome. I'll be back." Inuyasha gazed deeply into her eyes for a while, and Kagome couldn't help but smile at him and not look away.
"You have to excuse me, sir." The nurse said, and Inuyasha reluctantly left the room.
I know that is a weird place to leave off, but I am going to go ahead and post this. I hope I wasn't rambling to bad. Love ya'll!!!
