Hello! I'm sure most of you know about my other story by now...and I'm not going to dwell on the fact that you're all nagging and flaming me about it...so here's a positive note to you Mrs. Sesshomaru...SHIPPO COMES TODAY!

Chapter 23: Breaking out!

"Hurry! Move out of the way! We've got an emergency!"the doctors said rolling Kagome in. Inuyasha was following right behind them but then a nurse stopped him.

"Sir you're not allowed in that part of the hospital"

"But I'm going with her"

"I'm sorry sir but you can't" another nurse said holding him back.

"I don't care! I'm going with her!" he said fighting them off.

"Look sir I know how you must feel but you can't go back there..."

"Lady, if you knew how I felt...you'd be out of my way by now"

"I'm gonna get fired if you go back there. Please go sit down..."

"I'm not going anywhere but to see her! Now let go of me before I really try to get you off me" he threatened.

"Calm down all of you...you two go see to room 257" another nurse said breaking them up. This nurse seem a bit older than the other ones and was apparently smiling at him.

"Yes ma'am" they said walking away.

"You have to excuse them...they're new and they haven't dealt with a mated demon couple yet"

"Wha? But she's not... we're not...I mean I'm not..."

"Oh it's alright you don't have to be shy. I've seen it all...don't worry, she's lucky to have you to worry for her..."

"But...I still want to see her" he said glancing at the door.

"I know you're worried about her but it's alright she'll be done soon...why don't you go down to the gift shop to get her something nice...I'm sure she'd like the idea you were thinking about her..."

"Alright...but before I go, I'm sure her brother would have wanted me to warn you...she's an element holder...and controls fire...so you might want to shut off the fire alarms in this area...she also has a rather short temper..."

"I'll make sure it's done. Now you go buy her something nice" she said guiding him out the door.

Kag's P.O.V

"Man...I feel like an 18 wheeler just ran over me...and backed up again..." I moaned rubbing my cheek. On it was a bandage which itched like hell! I also for some fucked up reason had an iv jacked up my arm...all in all...it was not pleasant feeling...even for a half demon such as myself, being able to see something stuck up my arm really was a bit creepy and gross.

"Well considering that you just were cure of the most poisonous poison in the world...that's actually a good thing...If you're still in pain I'll come back with some advil" a nurse said walking in.

"Alright" I answered. Then I watched as the nurse went over to the other side of the room which was past the curtains...I assumed I was sharing a room with someone. I heard her over there checking whoever it was and the she stopped probably thinking that the person was asleep and walked back over to me. She knew I was looking and so she pulled back the curtains that divided us...and there in the next bed I saw a little kid. He had cute puffy red hair that was pulled back into a pony tail with a blue ribbon.

"He's real cute, huh? The poor thing...his family was killed by two demon brothers...her barely escaped...when he did, the police found him and brought him here...we've kept him here to see if anyone will take him in...but not many people wanna take care of a demon..."the nurse explained.

"That's so sad..." I whispered.

"I know...I just wish he'd find a good family to go to..." she said walking out. I glanced back at the boy again...I could smell the sadness laced in his scent. I'm pretty sure he heard.

"You can get up now. She's gone"

"How did you know I wasn't asleep?" the boy asked sitting up.

"I could tell you were awake cause your breathing pattern didn't sound like you were sleeping" I said casually before laying back down.

"Oh well, at least she's gone now" he said moving around in his bed. I cracked one eye open to see what he was doing and it looked like he was pulling a black suitcase out from under his bed. When her opened it he pulled out a gray looking laptop.

"How did you get that?" I asked closing my eyes again.

"I borrowed it from inside one of their offices"

"So in other words...you stole it from them" I said skeptically.

"I prefer the term "borrowed, but am returning...later" he corrected.

"So what's your name kid?"

"It's Shippo...and you?"

"My name is Kagome...just Kagome. No nicknames for me or else...one time this creepy guy I use to know gave me all sorts of dumb nicknames so let's just say I scarred for life"

"Okay Kagome...so, what kind of demon are you?"

"I'm a dog demon...well half anyways..."

"I'm a fox demon" he said puffing out his chest. All in all, the kid could only be described in one word...adorable! Then I watched as he went back to typing furiously on the laptop. Then I felt my stomach growl...loudly.

"Gee, when's the last time you ate?" he asked staring at me.

"Uh...counting today...yesterday..." I answered sheepishly. It was the truth! We were running late today getting to school so I skipped breakfast...then I had that fight with that bitch Hitomi and I was sent here 5 minutes before lunch...then I think we were in the school nurse's office waiting for the hospital...and now half the day is over! So the last thing I ate was dinner yesterday...and considering I'm a half demon I'm surprised even I lasted this long.

"Then you need to get some food...and not any of this toxic waste they serve here...hold on a minute..." he said before typing even faster. He pushed one final button and then all of the power shut off.

"Oh dear. I think the generator shut down. Let's go before the system shuts off permanently" I heard a nurse say to another walking by.

"Okay...I may not be a regular at a hospital...but don't some people down here need the electricity for the equipment in their rooms?" I asked nervously.

"Don't worry...I just shut off the lights down here...besides, we're the only ones on this side. Now come on before the lights come back on" he said jumping out of bed.

"Where are we gonna go?" I asked confused.

"To get food! Where else?" he screamed with excitement. I smiled and then hopped out of bed. Then we tiptoed out of our room...lucky for us we had our demon abilities so we could see in the dark cause it was pitch black out side...and it was a good thing too. We made it into their laundry rooms where they had some clothes for us to borrow...we could tell they were clean cause the stench of bleach nearly knocked us out walking in...I got and idea to put in some extra fabric softeners so our scents wouldn't be tracked if they had demons working in there. Then we casually walked out of the hospital...

"Hello, we're all here to see Higurashi Kagome." Souta said walking up to the front desk.

"Oh dear...you're the ones who dropped off the girl to 212b, aren't you?" the receptionist asked looking at her computer screen.

"Yes we are...why? Is there something wrong?" Miroku asked concerned.

"Well you see...earlier today after she gained consciousness...the power went out in that wing. And when we went to fixed the generator back up it turned out that it was only the lights...and so while the lights were off, both patients in room 212b were gone..." she explained.

"You don't think she had anything to do with it...do you?" Sango asked confused.

"Nah...it's too crafty and time consuming for her to do...unless she had help...besides, either way... she still injured...the best thing to do is sit and wait...she'll show up...eventually..." he explained.

"Hey...where's Inuyasha? Didn't he come with her?"

"Oh that young gentlemen? We had to ask him to leave because he wouldn't calm down"

"Sounds like him" Miroku mused.

'So what do you want to eat?" I asked Shippo.

"Let's go in there!" he said pointing to a diner. As I walked in with him, I saw a weird police car parked on front of it.

'I think I remember that car from somewhere...'

"Hey Kagome. Can we sit by the window?"

"Sure. Come on" I said walking over with him. Moments later an older girl with curly brown hair came over to take our order.

"Well ain't y'all the finest lookin' family I ever did see" the waitress said with a southern dialect.

"Oh, he's just my-"

"I want chicken fingers!" Shippo piped in before I could finish. In all truth even though we had only known eachother for a short while I think he was kinda growing on me...I guess having him and me as a family might no be so bad...if only it could happen though.

"And what for you dalin'?" she asked turning to me.

"Uh...just give me the biggest milkshake you've got"

"And what flava will it be?"

"Vanilla please"

"You got it. Your meal'll be out in a minute. If you need anything just give me a holler, my names Lily by the way"

"Just what do you think you're doing here! You're suppose to be looking for my fiancé!" Kouga said barging into the diner.

"We're on break! Why don't you go look!" Tsume shot back.

"As a matter of fact I think I will! You know what they say "if you want something done right you gotta do it yourself" he said walking up to the counter.

"I'll tell you Jan...this whole case is driving me nuts! I don't know how much more I can take of that spoiled brat"

"Just remember...you're doing it for the girl" Jantiri said try to calm him down.

"Yeah whatever. Now I know why she left..." Tsume mumbled.

"Excuse me? I don't think you have the right to talk about my darling Kagome like that! For all we know she could be locked in a cellar being beaten because of your incompetence!" he said pulling out his wallet to look at a picture of her. In the picture she was about 15 years old and was smiling brightly while she stood next to a rock. Behind her the sea glistened as the sun was setting.

"Calm down sir. I'm sure we'll find her" Orichi reasoned with him.

"Well I'll be. That has got to be the prettiest sunset I ever did see" Lily said gazing at the picture.

"Ma'am have you seen the girl in that picture?" Orichi asked.

"Well let's see...I guess if you mixed some red in her hair...and add a bandage on 'er cheek...my word! Well shucks...she's the same mother I just served!" Lily said gasping.

"What do you mean mother?" Tsume and Koga said jumping out of their seat.

"Yeah. Her and her little boy are over eatin' on the other side...I told 'em they was the finest lookin' family I ever sawed" (she's southern give her a break)

"You never said she had a kid..." Tsume said glaring at Koga.

"She doesn't! Well not that I know of!"

"Well then...we'll just have to got clear this all up then...won't we?" Tsume said walking to where Lily directed. Koga followed quickly behind him. As they turned the corner they saw Kagome and Shippo eating their food. But she stopped as the last scent she'd ever hope to smell, fluttered near her nose.

'Oh god...he's here...'

"Is there something wrong Kagome?" Shippo asked seeing how quiet she got.

"Uh...no. Nothings wrong. Hey Shippo are you ready to go?"

"Yeah I think so" he said getting up. He was then shoved onto the ground as someone else sat down.

"Shippo!" she yelled reaching for him.

"My god! You don't know how much I've missed you! I swear I will never let you go for as long as live!" He said grabbing her hands.

"Um...do I know you? I vaguely seemed to remember someone that reminded me of you...but then again...he was also a sleazy cheating heartless bastard who only wanted a good time and had no sense of loyalty and faithfulness..." Kagome said bitterly. She then snatched her hands away and walked right past him to see if Shippo was alright.

"Look I know you're still upset about what happened a few months ago but-" he said walking in front of her.

"Shippo, can you please cover your ears...(covered) Upset? Upset doesn't even cut it. I am pissed off beyond reason! You actually had the nerve to falsely hire your own private investigators to find me when I said to leave me alone! And after I left you! How does that work? You decide to cheat on me and as soon as I leave you, you make up your mind want me back and I'm supposed to come on a silver platter? I'm actually glad you cheated on me! It finally opened my eyes to see how much I could have missed because of you! And it's a dream come true to finally see you graveling at my feet begging for me to take you back! And you know what? I'm sure that when you were slipping into "what's her name" you didn't even give a shit about what would happen to you after. I've had enough of you! I don't even want to see your face! I have a new life now! And one of the best parts is it don't include you! (that is a quote from another movie! it's suppose to be this way! And I bet you can't guess where this one came from...) You cheated on me! Why would I want you back?" she screamed at him.

"Look Kagome...you're my woman...and that's why I'll do anything to get you back"

"See, that's the thing you don't get! You can't buy your way out of this! I choose whether or not I want go back to you. And NO, MEANS NO! Maybe you'll learn that with your next whore" she said pouring her milk shake on his head. Then she walked away with Shippo behind him. (what a waste of a good milkshake!)

"Well aren't you going after her!" he screamed wiping the milkshake off.

"According to our little friend here. We don't take orders from you anymore" Tsume said waving a tape recorders in the air.

"That's alright. I no longer need your assistance. I know where she is now. Thank you for your assistance" he said calmly.

'Now the only challenge is getting her back'

"Hey Kagome, who was that guy you were yelling at?"

"He was just...a real pest Shippo. Like on of those bugs when you try and shoo them away but they still can't take the hint and come right back and buzz in your ear"

"Oh, I know how that feels. Pop-ups used to jump on my computer all the time when I tried doing things on it. Then I found out how to put up a fire wall got something to block them out"

"You really like your computers, huh?"

"Yup!" he said beaming. I continued talking with him while we walked. In short he was a computer whiz for such a young age! Stared in amazement as he rambled in about computers, then before I could get out of the was I bumped into something...hard. As I awaited myself being re-introduced with the ground I didn't notice something catch me. As I opened my eyes I saw a pair of amber eyes.

"Kagome? What re you doing out here? You're supposed to still be at the hospital" he asked confused.

"What are you doing out here?" she blurted out.

"Buying some get well presents...what's your excuse" he asked narrowing his eyes at me.

"Uh...you see there's a fine reason for this...one I will happily explained back at the hospital. Bye" she said running away.

"Wait! Kagome get back here!"

Well there you have! Another welly planned chapter. And don't worry that's not the last of Koga :evil snickering:
