Kagome cried into her hands as she looked at the the lifeless body of her little son. "Dev, please, wake up?" she sobbed.
InuYasha stood in the doorway of the hospital room. His hands nervously adjusted his hat. He couldn't look at Dev or Kagome. 'I should have protected him better. I'm use-less.'
Kagome cried harder into the bedsheets. She couldn't help but feel that this was her fault. "Dev, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you have to be in pain because of me. I'm sorry that I was too weak to keep you from him." All that answered her was the beeping of the moniters on the boy's life support systems.
InuYasha sighed. Then he caught the scent of the doctors coming down the hall. Along with the doctors was some more humans. The knocked lightly on the wood door, then came into the room. "Ms. Higurashi..." one of the doctors tried.
Kagome looked up at them, then back down at her son. "Don't leave me, k?" she asked the black haired boy. Then walking over to InuYasha and the doctors she sniffled. "Yes?"
"We have to speak to you about Mr. Ashi, ma'am," one of the police officers with the doctors said.
Kagome nodded numbly. "Did he die in the car crash?"
"We can't find his body. After the car hit the tree and your son was thrown from the vehicle, the car rolled into the river. We have found the car, but his body has yet to come up," the police informed.
Kagome nodded, then looked at the doctors, "Is my son going to live?"
One doctor couldn't look at the distraut mother in the eyes. The other held a sad face, "I'm sorry, but he's most likely going to die."
Kagome fell onto her knees crying. InuYasha bent down and held her. "We'll find a way to save him, Kagome," he whispered in her ear.
Kagome just kept crying, knowing full well that the hanyou didn't like the show of weakness. But he didn't say anything about it as he held her in his strong arms.
The doctors and policemen left to leave the mourning mother and, they guessed, step-father.

Kagome lay in her bed, but she couldn't sleep. She snuggled more into InuYasha, trying to get some sort of comfort from his sleeping form. InuYasha, though, wasn't sleeping. He put an arm around her to pull her close. She sighed into his chest, already out of tears to cry. "InuYasha, how could they have crashed?" she whispered, afraid to break the silence.
"I've seen people driving for a while now. Anything could have happened. What I want to know, is why Dev wasn't wearing that seatbelt thing you always make me wear," InuYasha also whispered.
"Ashi probably told him it was ok not to. Where is he? How could his body just dissapear?" Kagome pulled herself as close as she could to InuYasha, as if Ashi were there and sneering at her. She was still afraid of the man, even after all these years.
InuYasha looked at the woman in his arms. 'I know that she is hurting, but how do I fix it? I wish I knew.' He just held her close, hoping to erase all her fears, but knowing now he had no strength to do that. "Everything will be fine. I know it," he told her. He knew he could be lying, but he also knew he loved this woman and would say anything for her to be happy.
"Really?" she looked up at him.
He nodded. They stared at eachother for a moment, then InuYasha leaned down and kissed her. At first she didn't know how to respond, but then she started to kissed back. They broke their first kiss after a moments time, and she layed against him, "Thanks InuYasha." She closed her eyes and fell into a light sleep. He followed after, being happy that his kiss had cheered her up.

Mistukai and Mika sat at the lawn table on the Higurashi Shrine grounds. They sat waiting for Kagome to come out and talk with them. InuYasha had gone in to fetch the poor girl, who had refused to leave her room except to shower and bathe.
"It's been two weeks since the car accident. Is he still alive?" Mika asked Mistukai.
The older girl nodded. "The poor boy is still alive, but only with the help of machines. Kagome is going to be given the option to 'pull the plug' if he doesn't get brain activity soon. Poor boy, he only just began life." Mistukai had obviously been crying about it earlier in the week. Mika too had dried her eyes from all the crying she had done.
Kagome came slowly out of the Main House. InuYasha pushing her slightly from behind. "Just talk with them," he kept telling her.
"But, I don't want to," she mumbled.
"It will do you some good to. While your speaking with them, I'll go back to my time and see if I can find a way to save him," InuYasha bumped into her when she abruptly stopped. "C'mon, keep going." He pushed her a little, but she wouldn't move. "Fine." He then picked her up and carried her over to the other girls.
"InuYasha! Let me down now!!" Kagome screamed.
'You would think she was pregnant again!' he kept the thought to himself though. He set her down when they reached the table. "Now talk. I'll be right back." And with that said he left the girls to go to the Well House.
"Kagome, we're so sorry," Mistukai said. She stood up and embraced the other woman. "If there is anything we can do..."
"No, I'm fine. Fate. That's what this is. Fate," Kagome let a tear run down her face. 'Fate that along with the evil Ashi, Dev must die!?' her mind screamed.
"Fate? But fate is only what you believe it to be," Mika told the older woman. "This isn't fate, Kagome. His fate is to live. And he will. We will do anything to keep him alive, k?"
Kagome nodded, "But fate wants him dead." She couldn't explain fate to her new friends. The only ones who might believe in fate, would be anyone from the fuedal era. They had to deal with fate everyday.
"Again with fate. There is no such thing Kagome!" Mistukai held the girl tight on her shoulders. "Fate is only what you make it."
"You wouldn't understand. But fate told me a while ago that this would happen. In a dream..." Kagome looked at the ground then turned to the sky. "In a dream of Ashi killing my baby."
The two girls looked at her. They couldn't think of what to say. What could they say?
///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///
InuYasha looked at Kaede from across the hut, "He's hurt bad."
"Well, maybe we could save him, but if Kagome's healers can't do anything, what made you think I could?" Kaede asked the white haired hanyou.
"Her 'healers' don't have some of the medicine we do. Their plants are gone. They have no spirit insight, and so can't save the soul. I know you can," InuYasha hated to say it, but... "Please?"
Kaede looked up sharply. "Kagome's world has changed you InuYasha. Yes, I'll help you. Bring me through the Bone Eaters Well when the sun sets tonight."
InuYasha smiled slightly and ran out of the hut. He stopped at where the Shard Hunters were all sitting, "Come with me back."
They looked at him. Then slowly nodded and followed him to the well as fast as they could. They knew something was wrong.

I would love to thank anyone who reviewed the last chapter by name, but fanfiction is being mean and won't bring my reviews up right now. I will just have to name you in the next chapter. I will answer all questions in the next chapter too...I have a stupid computer.
Fanfiction doesn't like to put site names up, so go into my bio and you will be able to get onto my site. This isn't even close to the last chapter though, so don't worry. There should be around 30 chapters to this story, maybe more or less. I will inform everyone though, when that is so.
