Disclaimer: I still do not own Inuyasha .

A/N: The characters may get a bit OOC for a while but they should be back in character by the end of the fifth chapter. Also for those of you that asked about this in your reviews: this is not a death fic, so don't worry. I don't like killing off any of the good guys.
Ch. 3

The doctor looked very seriously at Inuyasha and Sota, "Kagome has sustained very serious injuries. She has suffered a broken arm, broken ribs, a collapsed lung, a broken cheekbone, some lacerations, as well as some internal bleeding and a possible head injury. At this point she is in a coma and it is really too early to tell if she will recover. She's being moved up to the intensive care unit, once she arrives there, you may go in and sit with her for short periods of time. Sit with her, talk to her. There is some reason to believe that she will still here you."

Inuyasha nodded and followed the doctor out of the room and up to the floor where the intensive care unit was. When he and Sota arrived, they found Mrs. Higurashi talking anxiously to one of the nurses at the desk. Inuyasha headed over and put a hand on his mother-in-law's shoulder.

Mrs. Higurashi jumped and turned around, "Oh! Inuyasha." She didn't get any farther though as some orderlies appeared, bring Kagome up to her cubicle. As anxious as he was to see his wife, Inuyasha was prepared to let her mother see her first. But Mrs. Higurashi refused and sent Inuyasha in to sit with Kagome.

When he walked into the room, Inuyasha's breath caught in his throat. Kagome lay on a bed attached to all kinds of tubes and machines, looking more fragile than he had ever seen her before. She was covered in scratches and slowly developing bruises. Her right cheek was extremely swollen and she was developing a couple of black eyes. The sight brought tears to Inuyasha's eyes, especially since he knew he couldn't even see the worst of the damage. He pulled the chair in the room over to the side of her bed and took her hand that was not splinted. He used his other hand to brush her bangs off her forehead as he began to talk to her. "Oi, wench," he started with affection, trying to get a reaction out of her. When he got none he continued on, "It was worth a try. Anyway you have to hang in there Kagome. We've already lost the baby. If I lose you too, I don't know what I'll do. You have to open your eyes. Come back to me."

He watched her for a few minutes but she have him no sign that she had heard him. Somewhat dejected, he laid his head down nest to hers on the pillow, trying to take in as much of her as possible I case he didn't get another chance. He stayed like this until the nurse came in to tell him his time was up. Then, before getting up to leave, he leaned towards Kagome's ear and whispered, "I love you Kagome. Now and forever." For a fraction of a second he could have sworn she squeezed his hand but it was over so fast that he concluded that it must have been his imagination.

He walked into the hallway only to be pounced upon by Shippo who had suddenly appeared with Miroku. "See?" Shippo exclaimed, "I told you I would find him." "Ah, Inuyasha," Miroku said, "We came to find you and tell you that Sango has given birth to a healthy baby boy. We have named him Yusuke." Inuyasha lifted his tear-stained face to meet Miroku's beaming one.

"Why Inuyasha, what is wrong?"

"You guys don't realize what this place is do you? This is where they bring sick and injured people in this time. Kagome was involved in a bad accident before I got here. She lost the baby and the doctors don't even know for sure that she'll survive," by the time Inuyasha had finished explaining, he was actively crying again.

This news stunned Miroku, "Oh. Oh, my. I am so sorry. I-I didn't know."

Inuyasha nodded in acknowledgment and turned to walk back towards Kagome's family, which now included her grandfather as well. Miroku gathered up Shippo and the two left to give Inuyasha and the Higurashis time to deal with this news and to go tell Kaede and Sango what had happened. It wasn't something he was looking forward to, but Inuyasha was obviously in no condition to be the one to do it.

When they reached the village in Sengoku Jidai, Miroku and Shippo reluctantly stepped into Kaede's hut, where Sango was also staying. Sango watched her husband walk in and smiled, "Where are Kagome and Inuyasha?"

Miroku sighed, "I'll tell you in a minute. Where is Kaede-sama?"

"She's in the back room," Sango replied, her smile fading.

Miroku went to get Kaede. When he brought her back, he looked at the women and said, "I'm afraid I've got some bad news. As you know, Shippo and I went to find Inuyasha and Kagome-sama to tell them of Yusuke's birth. Well we found them. At a place where they take the sick and injured in that time. Apparently, before Inuyasha got to the other side of the well, there was an accident. Kagome-sama has been hurt quite badly. She and Inuyasha have lost their baby and there is no guarantee the Kagome-sama herself will survive either."

He heard Sango gasp and watched Kaede's eyes cloud over at the news. They sat in silence for a couple of minutes before Sango began to cry. Kaede then spoke up, "This is horrible. What a dreadful situation to have happen to Inuyasha and Kagome. Even if Kagome survives, Inuyasha has lost the child he was so looking forward to. This is one more blow to him in the rough life that he has lived. If he loses Kagome as well, it could end up being more than he can handle."

The others thought about what she said. As devastating as they found the situation, it couldn't even come close to what Inuyasha must be going through.
