Tear Drops of a Broken Heart
Chapter 6- Hospitals and Confessions
Kagome called the hospital and they sent an ambulance to retrieve her mother. How come she didn't sense her mother was not well? Why was she that way? She did know for certain one thing though. Her soul wasn't in her body. Kagome could feel it grow less and less as the days progressed. This was scaring her.
Kagome felt a hand at her shoulder, and some of a body press against the opposite side of her. She looked up to see Inu-Yasha looking down at her. A reassuring smile tugging at his lips. Kagome rested her head on his chest and watched as the medics took her mother. One came up, stared at Inu-Yasha, then reached up and felt his ears. Inu-Yasha growled and the man stopped abruptly.
The man that came up and played with Inu-Yasha's ears said, "Would you mind telling us where to bring her? Also, would you and your husband wish to accompany her?"
"Take her to Memorial Hospital. I will go there as soon as she is situated." Kagome replied. Did that guy just think that Inu-Yasha was my husband? She contemplated the thought as the medics left. That would be nice…
"Where are they taking your mother, Kagome?" Shippo said from in front of her. He had a worried look on his face.
"They are taking her to the hospital so she could be safe." Kagome tried to sound reassuring but failed miserably. Shippo reached for her hand and squeezed it slightly.
"Lets go see her tomorrow, Kagome." Inu-Yasha said softly. He was still kind of remembering the fight at school. Now he won't be able to protect her due to the fact that he got in a fight and was now expelled from school. But, he has to admit, that fight was worth it. He couldn't stand another minute of having to listen to old farts lecture all day about the things that happened to him yesterday.
Kagome nodded and smiled weakly. She looked around at the others and her smiles grew slightly. Sango and Miroku were holding hands and that made Kagome kinda freaked out. Since when did the hentai and the demon slayer get along that well? Shippo curled himself into a ball at the corner of her living room.
Kagome walked up to the little kitsune and hugged him gently. She reassured him that it wasn't his fault and that she wasn't mad at him. Shippo looked up at his surrogate mother and smiled slightly. Count on Kagome to always make him feel better.
The group went into the kitchen and foraged for food in the cupboards and refrigerator. After they were done eating they went into the living room and sat down. Kagome said that there was a good movie on and that they should watch it.
"What in the seven hells is a movie?" Inu-Yasha said harshly.
"It's sort of like a play, but on film and you don't have to go to the theatre in order to see it." Kagome explained matter-of-factly. Sango nodded and so did Miroku. Last night they snuck downstairs and watched a movie by experimenting with the T.V. and V.C.R. They were just glad that they didn't break anything.
"I wanna watch whatever Kagome wants to watch." Shippo said smugly. He then got a smack on the head from Inu-Yasha.
"Okay…" Inu-Yasha said slowly, "Let's watch a damn movie…"
Kagome raised an eyebrow and turned to the others. She nodded and went and picked a movie that everyone agreed on. It was "Mulan."
After the movie everyone went to bed. The guys begged to sleep with the girls and eventually they got their wish.
The next morning was hectic. Inu-Yasha complained to entire time that he would be bored with nothing to do and no one to be with. Also, he brought up the fact that Kagome said she would visit her mother in the hospital.
"Kagome, you and all the others are gonna stay here so you can visit your mother and then be here for her. She needs you to be with her." Inu-Yasha reasoned. Deep down he was remembering his own mother's death and how difficult it was for him. He didn't want his Kagome to have to deal with that.
"But, Inu-Yasha," Kagome said tired of having to argue with him so damn early in the morning. But, at least he didn't kill the clock. "I need to go to school. I need it so I can go to collage and get a good job."
"I don't care. Family comes first. I know you want to go to school but something is wrong with your mother. Don't you even care?" That last sentence scared Kagome. Of course she wanted to be there for her mother. She loved her.
Kagome thought a moment. After a while she nodded slowly. She lowered her face and walked over to the phone. She dialed the school and told the secretary what was going on. The secretary told her that it was fine and that she would have someone from her, Sango, and Miroku's classes bring the homework. She then dialed Sota's and Shippo's school and repeated the process.
That settled they all went back to bed for an hour or two. Then, they would go visit Kagome's mother. Why does Inu-Yasha have to be so damn convincing?
At the hospital, the group congregated around Mrs. Higurashi's bed. The doctor came in shortly after they arrived and ushered Kagome away from the group. He lead her out to the hallway.
"I'm sorry, Miss," The doctor began. "Your mother can be considered as legally dead. She has vital signs and everything, but they are so low she can die at any moment. She is to stay here until she either gets better, or…" He didn't have to continue, Kagome knew.
The doctor repeated his apologies and hoped for the best. Kagome re entered the room. At the edge of the door, Inu-Yasha stood. His arms spread, ready for her.
"I'm so sorry, Kagome…" After he said her name she flew into his arms and cried. Sota came up to her and hugged her. They all heard. Every single detail. Sango and Miroku came up and finished the group hug, with Shippo on Sango's shoulder.
After the embrace, Miroku eyed Sango and she nodded. He cleared his throat and made sure everyone was watching him.
"I know this might not be the right time to say this, but," The monk started. Sango finished.
"But, Miroku and I are to be married." She said with a slight bounce to her voice, obviously to brighten the mood.
"I knew it!" Shippo cried. He started listing all the times he had seen them embrace in a friendly manner.
Kagome and Inu-Yasha stared at them. Somehow they knew it all along but for some reason, they couldn't picture it happening.
Knocked out of her stupor, Kagome hugged Sango and Miroku and congratulated them. Inu-Yasha did the same, but he didn't hug, he gave tem a pat on the back and a hearty hand shake.
The group went home about an hour later of talking to Mrs. Higurashi and hoping and praying that she knew. Kagome made a large feast for them and the rest went off on their normal things. In that time at least…
The clock struck midnight at the hospital. Nurses and doctors on the graveyard shift walked around doing what they were supposed to do.
A young nurse, with long blonde hair and blue eyes walked into Mrs. Higurashi's room. She morphed into a tori youkai after she closed the door. She had little golden feathers placed delicately in the most flattering of places. Her eyes grew brighter and she took on an even more bird-like appearance. She looked almost like a half bird-half human. She kackled and screeched.
"Kekekekekekekeke…" She bellowed. "My plan is quite working the way I wanted but soon, everything will crumble. Their hopes, dreams, everything will die…" she said this to the comatose woman in the bed. "Soon, their lives would turn to hell, and the Shikon no Tama will be mine!"
