Chapter
5~Treatment
Kagome awoke to
the irritating beeping of hospital equipment. Next to her was her mother,
fast asleep, and over in the dark corner stood Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha..."
She smiled at him.
He walked up,
taking her hand, kneeling next to the bed. "I'm glad you're okay."
He whispered, brushing her bangs back.
She gingerly
squeezed his hand. "I'm glad you're here..." She looked around the
room. "How long have I been out?"
"About
thirty-six hours." He brought her hand to his lips.
She gently
cupped his face. "I'd tell you to kiss me," She whispered, "but my
mom is sitting right there."
Inuyasha
smiled, putting his hand over hers. "Pity." He murmered, a hint of
disappointment in his voice. "Maybe I could steal-"
Just then
several of Kagome's friends burst into the room. "KAGOME!" They
exclaimed, seeing their friend laying on the bed.
They jerked
appart, Inuyasha blushing.
Kagome
grinned and tugged on his fortunately now black hair. "New moon."
She winked. "So don't worry."
Her friends
rushed over, accidentally awakening Mrs. Higurashi. "Oh, Kagome, what
happened."
Mrs.
Higurashi stared in shock at the now human dog-demon. "Honey, I'll be
just outside."
"Okay,
mom." Kagome noticed her friends oggling Inuyasha, who wasn't sure what
to do.
"Who is
HE?" Her friends asked, eagerly. "Are you two going out?"
Kagome
blushed. "N-not legitimately...he never really asked me..." She
glanced over at him. "He...he is my best friend."
"Oh..."
One friend looked up at him. "Can I have him then?"
"REI!"
Kagome snapped. "Stop drooling all over him. He doesn't know how to
react to that." She crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Did
you come here to visit me or oggle him?"
"Oh..."
They reluctantely drug their gazes back to Kagome. "What's his
name...How're ya doin?"
"I'm
fine. His name is Inuyasha." She grinned.
Inuyasha
moved over to the window, trying not to notice the eyes watching him.
"Ohmigod..."
Rei murmered. "What an ass..."
"REI!"
Kagome stared at her shocked.
"What?!"
"Honestly."
Kagome glanced over at his back. "There's more to him than a gluteus
maximus."
"Don't you
get technical with me!" Rei joked. "But he does...didn't you ever
look?"
Kagome
blushed. "HEY!"
Inuyasha's
face fell a bit.
"I-I
mean..." Kagome stuttered.
"Uh-huh.
Thought so." Rei and Kagome's other friends chuckled. "I knew you
had."
Kagome's face
was on fire. "He's right over there Rei!" She said incredulously.
"So?"
Inuyasha
glanced back, seeing Kagome blushing bright red. "You're embarassing
her."
Her face darkened.
"Um-uh-eh-*gulp*. Sorry Inuyasha. They were talking about you..."
"I
heard." He grinned. "Rei said I had a nice ass."
Rei
blushed. "Uh-I mean-that is-um..."
Kagome
giggled. "You're bright red, Rei-chan."
The doctor
walked in. "Okay, Ms. Higurashi, I believe that's enough excitement for
one day."
Kagome
smiled. "Bye, guys."
"What about
him?" Rei asked.
"Oh,"
Inuyasha grinned again. "I take the window."
Kagome
stifled a laugh. "See ya when I get out."
The doctor
escorted the girls from the room. "You, young man have permission from
her mother to stay with her...for NOW."
After the
girls left, Inuyasha moved next to Kagome. "You seemed awkward talking
about me."
"Well-that
is-um-" She bit her nail. "Oh, just Kiss me, baka!" She
grabbed his dragon-tails, pulling his face down to hers.
He
chuckled. "I made you flustered."
"You better
kiss me, before I pull you onto this bed and make you." Kagome
threatened.
Inuyasha
blushed. "Hey, who says I wouldn't like that..." He grinned,
kissing her fiercly, flicking his tounge into her mouth when her lips parted,
causing her to whimper and cling to him. "Besides..." His lips
trailed down her neck. "I may decide to do a bit more than kissing..."
"Animal..."
Kagome gasped when Inuyasha nibbled her earlobe. "Shameless animal..."
"And you like
me that way..." Inuyasha purred into her ear.
"Damn
straight." Kagome forced his mouth back to hers. "Ya, little
animal. Oh, by the way, you do have a killer ass." As if proving a
point, she goosed him.
"Hey!"
He grinned, a faint blush on his cheeks. "Thank you."
"You're
welcome." Kagome sighed, happily. "I need sleep, so
'night..." She yawned, sleepily.
"'Night."
That was the
last thing Kagome heard before she fell into a fitful sleep.
