Chapter 6: Meet my mother.
When I woke up, I found myself back to the inn. Thanks to Sango, according to her by the way, Inuyasha didn't push the idea of bringing me to the hospital. I sat up and held my head for a while. Ouch, what happened by the way back in the cottage?
Oh yeah, Dad, Leukemia, Inuyasha, Leukemia again. Wait. Oh my God! Inuyasha found out!
My eyes widened so much that I might look like an owl. I looked around my room and it's as usual. Empty. Sango was nowhere around the divider because I can't hear any sounds from there and I couldn't hear footsteps from the corridor.
I stood up and held my head. I still have fever but oh well, that's common for those who have Leukemia. I peeked from the sliding door and tried to hold on something so I won't fall. Hey, it's pretty hard you know. When your world is spinning around you fast, of course you wouldn't know where to hold on.
I gripped on the railings and managed to walk slowly towards the stairway. I swear my one step took a minute before I try and walk again. Well, this made it harder. As I walk towards the stairs, someone bumped on me and my butt connected to the ground.
"Ouch." I caressed my butt for a while as I waited for that someone to help me stand up.
"Sorry about.Kagome! What are you doing here?" Familiar voice rang to my ears as I abruptly looked up and groaned. Sango helped me to get up, holding me by my waist to keep me still.
"What are you doing out here? You still have fever! Come on, I'll bring you back to your room." She scolded, before I could tell her that 'I got this far on empty head, you'll bring me back there.', something escaped my lips without permission.
"Did you see Inuyasha?" She looked at me strangely.
"What? Is he who you're looking for? Sorry, I haven't seen him whole day since we came from the beach." She replied. Figures, he's probably avoiding me now. I looked down as I dragged my feet, feeling a little sad.
Well, I'm the one, who doesn't want to be attached, am I? Why am I feeling like this? I thought so much I hadn't notice someone just passed by me quietly. I only saw white hair flowing freely in the air and I had just in time to see him getting down the stairs. He merely glanced at me and quickly averted his eyes when I saw him. Great, he's avoiding me now.
Sango pushed me down to the futon and placed a damped towel on my forehead.
"Rest, okay?"
With that one word told, she slipped out of my room and I heard her going down the stairs. I sighed. They're treating me like the old days again. Maybe I'll go find another inn where no one knew me? . Nah, it'll cost me bucks, I can't afford it. My money is already jumping out of the window like garbage.
I stood up again, deliberately breaking Sango's word, and walked to the corridor. I leaned on the rail and let air rush in to me. It feels so great, if I had no sickness or whatever. I looked down and there, I saw Inuyasha.
He sat on the grassy plain and air blew his hair away from his face. He looked troubled, and I thought he doesn't match the peaceful surrounding. I frowned. He's avoiding me; that thought crossed my mind. Well, I'm going to die anyway, if I like him, I'll regret my death. It's good that he's avoiding me so at least, for the both of us, it wouldn't hurt us much.
Yes, maybe that's for the better.
++++++++++++++++++++
Three days passed by and my fever was getting worst. Ruriko-san was very worried and brought me to the hospital, much to my protest.
"It's for your own good." She said. She already called my family. Damn that Inuyasha, he already told Ruriko-san that I'm underage, I'm a Higurashii and my true address and phone number. Lucky me Ruriko-san wasn't angry with me since I lied and Inuyasha didn't tell her I have cancer. Well, if you're on her shoes, you wouldn't be angry with a sick person, would you?
There goes my vacation, nice room by the way, in the hospital. I got grumpy ever since I checked in the hospital and by the way the nurses look at me, they knew I'm dying. Once in a while, nurse checked on me if my blood pressure, heart beat rate and whatever, are normal. Then again, my blood cells aren't normal, are they?
"Penny for your thoughts?" Sango asked me, which successfully pulled me out of my trance.
"What?"
"I said penny for your thoughts?" She repeated, smiling at me as she arranged the flowers on my side.
"How much?"
"Twenty bucks?" She replied though I knew she wouldn't have that much money.
"I'm just thinking."
"About Inuyasha?" she asked innocently but it won a blush from me, you know.
"Of course not!" That's true.
"Then what?" She smiled at me but I frowned.
"About how horse jump." I said sarcastically and she gave me a dry laugh.
"Seriously, Kagome."
"I'm just thinking about everything." I sighed as I reminisced about.everything. And especially about the certain jerk in the inn, which I really don't want to think about.
"Especially?" I turned to her. She smiled patronizingly at me, which I found very odd.
"Are you sure you don't know how to read my mind?" I asked suspiciously as she giggled.
"Of course not. Do you think I'll pass by being a mind reader?" She asked with hoped in her voice.
"You're kidding me, aren't you?" I chuckled.
"I'm just making you happy. Ever since you came in this joint you became the old Kagome who came to the inn few days before. Are you sure you don't have a split personality problem?" She kept her eyes on the flowers.
"Maybe I have."
"Cheer up, Kagome! You still have your life." Sango said, but she just muttered the last words.
"You know, Sango, you're great at cheering me up." I said, frowning at her. Sango chose that moment to change the topic.
"Have you talked with Inuyasha lately?" I made a face.
"No. How would I?" He's been avoiding me, I added in my thoughts.
"Well, I just want to tell you that he's strangely depressed ever since we came to the beach." She sighed, finally sitting down to the chair beside the bed.
"Surely, you know why." I retorted. It's either he doesn't want to be attached to me or just doesn't like me. which is good. It's for the better, I thought sadly.
"You shouldn't hide your feelings, Kagome. It's bad for you." She scolded in a motherly way and I flinched or I inched away from Sango rather.
"Do you know how to read my mind, seriously, Sango?"
"Don't change the topic, Kagome." She said. Darn it.
"What feelings do you think I'm hiding anyway?" I asked innocently.
"Fear, .Love." She suggested as my eyes widened. She could be a psychiatrist for all I know.
"How.?" I asked wordlessly.
"I could see it in these eyes." She pointed at my eyes. "And I know you, Kagome, you don't want to show it. However, your heart is saying it out loud. It can't hide feelings too long, Kagome. It let your face show and form your love towards someone." She said, pointing at my heart and to my face once she said the words. Darn heart, I scolded.
"So you knew?" I found my voice as she nodded eagerly, happy that I admit now.
"Can you do me a favor?" I pleaded and she agreed, almost instantly.
+++++++++++++++++++
In my second night in the hospital, my parents arrived. I frowned at them but since they were used to me that way, they ignored it.
"Oh Kagome, how could you live our house like that? If Ruriko-san hadn't called us, I'm sure we'll ." I interrupted my mom.
"Assume that I'm dead." I said with distant eyes. My mom sighed.
"I never thought my little Kagome would die just like that. She's a strong girl, you know." She smiled at me as I turned to her. That's the first time I saw her relieved for me.
"You don't know how much worried we got when we hadn't found you in your room. I'm relieved to see you alive." She said, tears flowing out of her eyes.
"You're glad. to see me alive?" I asked, surprised.
"Yes.I loved you too much, Kagome. If you die just now, without me proving my love for you as a mother, I'm sure I'll suicide to follow you to the next life." She said in a motherly way. My eyes soon gave up and my tears flow out without my permission.
"I'm sorry, mother.I thought you.abandoned me ever since I got these sick!" I burst out as she hugged me.
"I never did that. A mother never abandoned her child. Your dad told me.that don't let our daughter feel unloved if I die. I'm deeply sorry." She said. It would be better if Kikyou didn't choose that moment to interrupt.
"And he left me unloved, is that it?" She asked; her cold eyes darted to me. My mom spun around to see her husband's first daughter.
"You're wrong, Kikyou. He never left you. Who told you he left you unloved?" My mom retorted soothingly.
"Kagome always get whatever she wanted. Kagome got everything. Kagome is this. Kagome is this.I'm always inferior to them. Kagome is always loved." Ooh, jealousy bites, huh?
"You're completely wrong. As a matter of fact, your father gave his half riches to you and one third only to Kagome." She looked at us shocked. Didn't she know?
"But mother told me none is given to us." She told us.
"Do you want some proof? Your father gave me the testaments after he died. It clearly said one half of his riches would be yours. Come to my office once and you'll find out." Mother told her and dismissed the topic. I smiled at her. She was surprised at first but she returned it. Kikyou walked out of the room with a mutter of 'Sorry for everything, Kagome.'. I guess that's over.
"Is there anything you want, Kagome?" I looked up at her before turning to my side. They immediately left me in privacy. I sighed sadly.
Inuyasha. I secretly answered mother.
