Chapter 36:What Should I Do?
About 20 minutes later, Kagome moans as she looks around her surroundings. First she finds is that she's in someone's bed. Compared to her own, it felt like a cloud from heaven that whoever sleeps on it doesn't want to get out of it. She finds herself in a red silk comforter. She supports herself with her elbows and then her hands. "What happened to me?" She asks herself as she places her hand on the back of her neck. "Don't get up just yet." Inuyasha said as he gets out of the bathroom.
Kagome blushes as she sees him in a workout muscle shirt and black gym shorts. "Why should I? I have to get back to my father." Kagome stubbornly manages to get out of the comforter. But right before she puts one foot onto the floor, Inuyasha swiftly gets behind and places the side of his clawed hand on the spot where Kagome had her hand on the back of her neck. "Don't even think about it." He threatens her into her ear. Just feeling his breathe onto the skin of her ear, made her blush and scared. "What's gotten into you, Inuyasha? Why are you being like this? What did I ever done to you?" She asks her nervously with her eyes tightly closed.
Inuyasha keeps the side of his hand onto the back of Kagome's neck. "The first question you asked me I will answer. After I knocked you out, I was under strict orders to guard you. My next answer for your second question is because your father is so ashamed that he doesn't want to see you. However he just doesn't know what to do but he'll come around. You just have to be patient with him. And my final answer is that you are just foolish enough to place a bet against me. But don't get me wrong. All I can it was fun while it was lasts." He pulls his hand away from her neck and sits beside her. Kagome sighs, "What was I thinking? Ever since I came to school, I thought I was going to get through it, but little did I know was that Sango warned me about the students gamble on the pettiest bets." She places her chins onto her knees with a sad look.
Kaoru is in the bar drinking a beer. Myoga casually rinses out his costumer's last glass. "Do you know what you want to know after a few drinks?" He asks Kaoru. Kaoru stares at his reflection in the drink. "To be honest with you, Myoga, I'm usually like this when I'm a like a rock in a hard place. And in this case. I'm not sure rather or not I can see my daughter face to face. Not only her but also my family." Myoga can see the downcast expression in his eyes. "Well I'm not supposed to be one who decides on what you want to do later on. But If were you, I'd talk to your wife. But she's in the hospital with your father in law and son." Hearing that made Kaoru gasps. "In the hospital? What happened?" He asks the bartender. Myoga puts the clean glass back onto the counter. "They're okay, but they're just unconscious by Naraku who filled the house with miasma. Kagome was knocked out by chloroform." He answers him calmly. Kaoru didn't like this one bit. "Which hospital are they in? I need to make sure they're ok." He stands up before leaving the bar. "Not so fast." Myoga halts him. Kaoru turns around to see the bartender rubbing his fingers. "I expect a payment for your drinks, Kaoru." He seriously tells him. Kaoru groans as he digs into his back pocket and puts down a few bills to pay. "Happy now?" He asks him sarcastically. Myoga grins as he picks up the bills. "And as for the hospital, only my master knows." He gives his clue as he goes to the switch the lights a leaves the room before Kaoru.
Inuyasha wants to try to comfort her. But what can he do exactly? Dinner? Not gonna help out in this scenario. Have Sango and Miroku over? No. What about her family? Kagome doesn't even know that they're in the hospital ever since she was abducted by Naraku. But then again, it can be the only way to get to the root for all of this stuff. "I need to call my mom to let her know where I am." Kagome stands up to get to Inuyasha's cell phone. Inuyasha quickly gets the phone away from her. "I don't think so." He bluntly said. Kagome tries again to get it but Inuyasha keeps it out of her reach. "Give it to me." She shouts as she jumps as high as she can to get it. "Your family is not even home." He tells her. Kagome flinches as she fell back onto the bed. "What are you taking about? The last time I saw them was back home. How is it that they're not?" She asks in dumbfounded. Inuyasha takes the cell phone and puts it in his shorts' pocket. "They're in the hospital." He tells her as he sits next to her as he takes hold of her shoulder.
Just hearing that made Kagome gasps in fear. She bolts out of the bed and runs towards the door. But before she could open it, Inuyasha gets in her way. "Now's not the best time to go." He glares at her. Kagome growls weakly. "Don't test me, Inuyasha. Little do you know, I'm a priestess." She proudly tells him. Inuyasha doesn't look surprised. "I'm already of that." He crosses his arms. Kagome grins at him. "So you're aware about me a priestess. Well it's hard to believe for such a being inside of a house full of demons." She turns her back at him. "As such I can purify you." She begins to glow in a pinkish aura. Inuyasha raised his brow. "I'd like to see you try." He tells her arrogantly. Kagome grins as she is about to touch him. Inuyasha pushes her to the ground. "Don't even try, Kagome. But one mistake can kill you in the process." He pins her down with the hand's side to her side. "Besides your father just found about your family at the hospital, but he doesn't know which one they're in. If I were you, I'd stay put until further notice." He holds her down a bit more, but not to hurt her. All Kagome can do is let tears fall out of her eyes. 'No.' She cries in her head.
