Beautiful Curse AvDevjyp

Chapter 21

They stood next to the bed with the little boy laying almost dead on it. "He looks so small and helpless," Sango whispered.

"That's because he is," Miroku said. He adjusted the red T-shirt he wore and then layed his hand on the edge of the bed. He didn't want to cry, he had promised himself he wouldn't. 'I've seen so many die in my time, but I'm still going to cry for this little boy.' He put his hand up and started a small prayer for Dev.

Shippo looked over the bedspread barely. He had grown much, but still was very young by youkai standards. "Will Kagome be alright if he dies?"

"Kagome can't accept it. I don't think she would be ever alright if he dies. She is blaming herself right now for not kidnapping Dev and taking him to our time to stay," Sango said.

"But everyone knows he wouldn't be able to stay there. And she would have never been able to," Shippo said logically.

"We know that," Miroku looked down at the little boy.

They were all waiting for InuYasha and Kagome to return. They had went to get Kaede. 'I hope she really knows how to save him,' Sango thought.

InuYasha sat on the edge of the well as Kagome had ordered him to. 'Hurry Kagome,' he thought.

///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///

She walked into the hut and sat down hard on the wood floor. "Kaede, he's hurt really bad. InuYasha said you could save him," Kagome said in a monotone.

"I do know how to save him, but it's risky. Kagome, you have to really want to save him," Kaede said.

"I do! I'll do anything to save him!" Kagome went into a hysterical fit. Tears started to flow freely down her face. She tried to breath through her nose, but she couldn't.

"Calm down, my child. I will help you, but first, bring me to your era first," Kaede stood up, followed by Kagome. She nodded to the old woman.

"Thank you so much."

///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///

They stood outside of the hospital. "This is our healing place. It's called a hospital," Kagome informed the old Kaede, who now wore some clothes her mom owned.

"Let's go inside now," InuYasha went in through the automatic doors. The women followed.

They went up the elevator to the fifth floor, child care unit. Kagome went into the third room on the left. Then came running out and stopped at the nurses station, "Where's Dev?"

"Kagome!" she turned to see Sango come running from the elevator towards her. "He's gotten worse. He's downstairs."

"Downstairs?" Kagome paled.

"What's downstairs?" InuYasha asked innocently.

Kagome didn't answer as she ran to the elevator and hit the button for the next floor down. No one followed her, knowing she wanted to be alone.

They ran into the elevator next and Sango pushed one of the buttons. "He was fine, then one of the machines started beeping. After that one, all the machines started making noise. The nurses came in and started to un-hook him and roll him out. He's been downstairs for about ten minutes now. They won't let anyone in to see him, but they are all running everywhere. I hope he's ok."

"What machine started beeping?" InuYasha asked the demon exterminator.

"I don't know, just one of them," Sango said as the doors opened.

They walked into the white hallway. The first thing they saw was Kagome. She was sitting in a seat outside of a door, crying. "Kagome?" InuYasha asked.

///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///

They huddled in the candle light room. One man laying on the ground, bloody, and obviously hurt bad. One man sitting like a king in the corner of the room on the floor. He didn't look concerned about anything.

"Naraku," a woman came in a bowed immediatly to the king like man.

"Kagura, you have better not had killed the man," Naraku sneered at the demon woman bowing to him.

"I think he'll live. He's not a scrawny human. He's tormented that hanyou's mate more then once. We will be able to use him," Kagura defended her actions.

Naraku looked over at his two servents, "Is he going to live?"

"Yes, sir. Kagura did a good job of saving him from the water," one servent bowed low to the half demon.

"Did she...?" Naraku smiled evilly. 'Then my plan is a success.' He looked over at the full demon woman, "They had better be right."

"I didn't mess up this time, my lord," Kagura said as she bowed again and left the room.

"This time," Naraku laughed.

I have had many singing concerts lately, have been trying to get a plane ticket somewhere, and have been having family and friends problems. Mostly date problems. Anyway, the next chapter will be out soon, I promise.

And I'm sorry for the cliff-hanger, but I really lost my train of thought. I have a concert to go to now, so dewa ja matta ne minna!

The Deity Of Fun Dinner: Yup yup! I is professional. Really, I love to sing. I sing at charity things for kids, old people, and people who just need picking up.
