Chapter 3: Savior with Amber Eyes

Disclaimer: Refer to previous chapter.

At Hospital Hyatt, room 315, Inu Yasha finally awoke.

"What am I doing in here?" he roared.

"Hi, sir, I am your nurse, Ai, and you have been unconscious for two hours and fifteen minutes. Your recovery is amazing! But the doctor wants to run some tests on you, but you will get out today."

"Damn straight!"  Inu Yasha said as he hopped out of bed to the window, in which he escaped.

Nurse Ai pushed a button that notified the hospital about the accident and stared out the opened window.

Kouga sped down the highway with Kagome on his mind. Stupid girl, talking to me like that…

'I'm not Naraku! You don't boss me around!' Kouga remembered. She acts so stupid, and yet I miss her smart mouth. He finally reached home to find an unwanted guest.

Kagome hopped off the ride and decided she should go home before anything else got her into trouble.

"Sango! Miroku!" She called as she spotted them at the cotton candy stand.

"Hey, Kagome, did you have fun?" Sango asked as she cuddled the big teddy bear the Miroku must have won for her.

"Not really. I just want to go home now. I need to relax. Would you guys take me home? Now?"

"Sure. Anytime. Let's go before it gets to be 8," Sango said.

"So, Kagome, will you and Kouga still be making the triple double date? Kikyo and Inu Yasha will be there," Miroku said as he got into his CLK Mercedes and pulled off.

Kagome didn't respond. Man, Kikyo's dead, Kouga's mad at me, and Inu Yasha is in the hospital, she thought.

"What are you doing here?" Kouga asked a dark silhouette. Someone begins to talk to Kouga, too silent you readers can't hear it.

"What about her?" Kouga asked.

They continued.

"You don't know what you're talking. Get out now!" he pushed the unwanted person out his house.  "I wonder if Kagome is home. I need to ask her some questions." He picked up the phone and dialed her number. Unfortunately, she wasn't home. Kouga slammed down the phone angrily. "Why won't she pick up the phone, I know she's home!"

Inu Yasha finally reached his house. He really wanted to see Kagome, but he had to change his clothes.  When he finished he walked into his garage to find his favorite car wasn't in there. For a second Inuyasha was angry, until he remembered that accident and the fact that he had another car. Inu Yasha opened the door of his Lexus to see his annoying little pal Shippo.

"Inuyasha, where were you all this time? I wanted to go visit Kagome nem! I also got hungry, but I ordered pizza. You now have fifteen dollars left."

"You should have walked to Kagome's house and stayed there for the rest of your life! Get out of my house!" he yelled at Shippo.

"If Kagome was here…"

"Well, she's not here so SHUT UP!" he barked.

Why was he getting so stressed over Kagome? They broke up a long time ago… He knew deep inside that he was crazy for her.

Inuyasha! Kagome had to check up on him. "Miroku, will you please take me to Hyatt Hospital? Don't worry about staying to wait for me. I can call my Grandpa. He'll pick me up," she told him.

"If you wish, Kagome," Miroku said turning into Hyatt Hospital.

"Thanks, Miroku. I don't know what I'd do without you guys. And ask Kouga if we're still going, okay?" Kagome waved and walked off.

Inside, she approached the woman at the front desk.

"May I see an Inu Yasha? He's supposed to be in room 315."

"Sorry, dear, but he escaped a little while ago. He's fine, although we wanted to do a few more tests to make sure he's really okay."

"Do you know where he is?" Kagome asked panicky.

"Sorry," Mai replied.

Oh God! What did Inu Yasha leave for? Kagome thought. "Thanks for your time! Can I use your phone?"

"Sorry. For emergency purposes only!" the secretary stated.

"Please. I need to get home to my little brother. My mom is leaving to go to work any minute now and he'll be home alone," she pleaded.

"Sorry, sweetie, no exceptions, but you can wait till 9. Nurse Ai will be leaving then."

"It's ok. I'll just walk or catch the bus," Kagome muttered.

She turned and left the hospital wishing she had told Miroku to wait for her. Kagome heard a low rumble of thunder and knew it happened for a reason. "Great. Now I'm gonna be wet." As on cue, the rain started to fall. "I hope mom comes by this way and take me home first."

Just then, as if an answer to her prayers, white lights beamed from behind her. Kagome turned. "Mom?"

"Hey, baby, I know I'm not your mommy, but I can take you home for some cocoa and to get you out of those wet clothes, ya no? Whatcha say, baby?" the driver with black hair asked.

Kagome simply ignored him and kept walking. Her mom had taught her to never talk to strangers and never hitchhike.

"Come on, don't be afraid," he said driving up to catch her.

Kagome began to speed up, that's when she heard the engine stop. Good, was he going to leave her alone? Nope. A door opened.

"Leave me alone before you get hurt," Kagome said not looking back.

"Come on, I ain't gonna hurt you that much, baby!" he said catching up with her and grabbing her by the waist.

"I said leave me alone!" She kicked him leaving the man to fall back. Then she heard…punching noises?

Kagome turned around to see a Lexus in front of the stranger's truck. Her savior was no other than Inu Yasha.

"Kagome? Kagome, is that you?" Shippo asked hopping out of Inu Yasha's trunk into her arms.

"Hey, Shippo, why were you in the trunk?"

"That's the only way I could catch a ride with doggy breath."

"Hey, I heard that. Say something else like that and I'll do you like this punk here," Inu Yasha said kicking that man into the trunk of his truck. He turned his attention to the soaking wet Kagome. "You want a ride, Kagome?"

"Sure. I was just at the hospital, trying to see if you were alright, but they told me you escaped!"

"I didn't need their help so I left."

"Maybe not, but still. You should have stayed!" Kagome said getting into the car.

"Well, what's been done's been done." Inuyasha flicked on the heater and wholeheartedly gave her his snuggly jacket.

Kagome smiled and accepted it. For them to have broken up, sometimes it felt like old times. She knew that the flame they used to have would never burn again, but for now it was okay…

"Inu Yasha, would you and Shippo like to come over and chat or maybe watch a movie?" Kagome asked.

"Yea," he replied coolly.

"O.k.!" yelled Shippo.

Kouga lay on his bed staring at the ceiling. He had called Kagome five times, left a message three times. "Why won't she call me?!" Kouga asked himself.

It was now 10:00 p.m. and he decided that he'd just e-mail Kagome.

(What a Bug-A-Boo huh?) He turned on the computer and in no time he was connected. He pulled up the page and wrote:

Hey, Kagome. I'm sorry about earlier. Please call me so we can talk. I know you're at home watching your brother but you still could have picked up the phone. You have me worried about you. Tomorrow I'll take you to the hospital. Promise. Love you, call me tomorrow or when you get a chance.  Bye. Kouga.

After that he decided to get on a chat room. (The page looks like this.)

Hottie1- Hi, room!

wolfboyKouga- Wassup, hottie1. Any fine ladies wanna chat? Type 432.

Kag-chan-432

(Personal chatroom)

wolfboyKouga- Hey, Kagome? Is that you? Whatcha doing chatting?

Kag-chan- Just bored!

WolfboyKouga- I've sent you an e-mail. And called a million times.

Kag-chan – you're crazy.

wolfboyKouga – Don't act this way.

(Kagome is not longer in the chat room)

"Don't KAGOME!" Kouga screamed.

"I've been thinking about you since I awoke," Inu Yasha said.

"Really?" Kagome asked almost pleased.

"No," Inu Yasha joked.

"Err! Don't make me say that you can't come over anymore!" she teased back.

They were still inside his Lexus.

"Fine!"

"I was just kidding!" she said.

"I can't wait until we get to your house," Shippo said. "I wanna play with Souta."

Kagome turned to the back seat. "I'm sorry, Shippo-chan, but Souta is asleep now. And due to the time you guys can't come over anymore. My mom won't have boys over this late."

"Awe," Shippo exclaimed evidently disappointed.

*In conclusion*

Kouga finally fell asleep, Kagome made it home safely, and Inu Yasha-tachi got some food, then headed home.

Hi, minna, I've decided to not update until I get at least 10 reviews. Sorry. I hope you guys understand and enjoyed the 3rd chapter. Please review. I know I'm asking for a lot, but I need to feel appreciated to continue my story. *Sob, sniffle* I feel this is one of the best chapters so far. What do you think? I'm out! Holla at Lady T.

Preview of next chapter: Everything looked fine, except someone had shut off the power. Kagome turned it back on and taped the box closed. She walked upstairs to make sure Souta was o.k., but like any scary movie, Souta was not in his room…
