Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha.

---------------------------------------------

After Inuyasha got ove the shock he walked back into Kagome's room.

"What happened?" Kagome asked just waking up.

"Nothing." He lied.

"I know it's nothing, now tell me." She ordered trying to sit up but failing with each attempt.

"Kagome, you know that I love you right?"

"I love you too, but what's wrong."

Kagome looked up at him with a worried expression. Her voice was still very faint, and it hurt her to even move, not that she was going to tell Inuyasha that.

"I don't think you're in the right-"

"Inuyasha Takahashi, tell me right now." She said with all her strength.

"But Kagome-"

"Just tell me." She stopped all atempts to get up, and focused on listening.

"I just talked to your doctor..." His voice began to crack. "...he said...you need surgery."

"And?" She pushed.

"And, if you don't you won't live much longer."

"Then let them do the surgery."

Inuyasha tensed as she said that.

"It's not that simple." He took a long pause staring into her big brown eyes. He walked to her and took her hand. "The surgery...it has over 50 chance that you'll...that you'll...that you won't make it." He whispered the last part.

A tear trickled down Kagome's face.

"Inuyasha." Came a voice.

They looked at the door and standing there was Inutashio.

"Hi, Mr.Takahashi."

"Kagome, I heard what happened." He went to her bed side.

"I'm..." She couldn't even finish her sentence.

"She has to go through surgery...and...she might not make it." Inuyasha informed reluctantly.

"How much is the surgery?" Kagome asked.

Inuyasha stared down at the sheet before him.

"About a thousand dollars." He whispered in reply.

"Well I can't afford that anyway." She tried to force a smile.

"Kagome, I'll be willing to pay if that's what you want to do." Inutashio told her.

"Mr.Takahashi, you don't have to-"

"Kagome I never gave you a chance and this is my way of repaying you, along with getting to know you."

"Thank you."

They hugged each other, Inuyasha staring blankly at nothing in paticular.

"Kagome, are you sure you want-" He was cut off by Kagome's weak voice.

"Inuyasha, I want to be with you more than anything. We got your dad's okay and if I don't go through with this, I won't live anyway...I have to at least try, before I give up."

"You're braver that any of us, to grasp that, and still be how you are." Inutaishio spoke.

Inuyasha simply nodded.

"Inuyasha, I understand what you're feeling, but the best and only thing you can do for me...is be by my side through all of this."

"You gotta promise me something."

"Anything. "

"You'll never fight again." Inuyasha told her seriously.

Kagome smiled, "I promise, but now you have to promise me something." Inuyasha nodded. "No matter what happens...you'll keep living your life, and not let anything get in your way."

"Don't speak like that, you're going to make it, and if not...I'll still be there for you...even in death." He said quietly.

Kagome pulled him closer to her and gave him a small peck on the lips.

"I'll go take care of the paper work." Inutashio took the paper from his sons hand and headed out of the room.

'Inuyasha..."

"Hm?"

"What's it like being a hanyou?"

"Kagome, this is hardly the time, or place."

"Just answer the question." She pleaded.

"Fine. Being a hanyou is hard. We don't have a place not being fully human or demon." He sighed. "It's better than being human, I should know, but yet harder than being a demon having to surpress the demon blood."

"Why are you so strong then?"

"I learned how to live with it." He spoke.

"When we first met online, what did you think of me?"

"I...felt that...for once, I atcually belonged somewhere."

Kagome smiled lightly.

"Me too."

"Miss Higirashi?" Called a doctor from the door way.

"Yes?"

"Your surgery will begin in a half hour if that's okay?"

"Yeah...it's fine." She said while looking at Inuyasha.

"Mr.Takahashi has ordered we have the best doctors available to make sure the surgery goes okay. You do know the possible turn outs of this don't you?"

"I am aware of them yes."

"Will you require anything before the surgery?" He said finally looking up from the clip board.

"No, just this wonderful person beside me."

"Alright, I'll leave you two to be." With that he left the room.

"A half hour until your life changes." Inuyasha muttered.

"It's not going to change. I'm going to come out okay, and you're going to be there when I wake up." Kagome said surely.

"Let's hope so."
