WAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! I feel so sad!!! No one will review my story!!!!! Y won't
anyone review it?!??!!?!?!?!?!? Even if it's to say that it sucks like
educational TV. Well anyways for the one or two pplz who's reading this
and want to no why I'm still writing it is because I have limited access to
internet since I moved and I probably won't get my DSL back till I'm in
college, well when I go to college then I'd have either T3 or T1 internet
connection (only thing worth looking forward to in college), so I basically
have nothing to do all day except read Manga, and write. And now that I
also started skool again and this new skool loads the homework on I have
little me time to do things like this. So there's my reason for writing
this even though no one's reviewing this, and I said that I won't write
until I get a lot of reviews. Now I no Ur sick and tired of hearing me
blab on about my life so here's the story!!!
Standard Disclaimer: I don't Inu-Yasha, or Kenshin etc. etc. I'm really getting sick of writing these. So if u want to no what supposed to written here go to the other chapters.
Twisted Fate
Chapter 4: No Reason to live?
"Oh. God, no!" whispered Inu-Yasha. With that, Inu-Yasha ran over to the bloody, limp, body on the floor. "Sakura? Come on Sakura, wake up! At least give me a sign that you're still alive," when Inu-Yasha felt/heard nothing come out of the lifeless body, he started to really panic. Taking the top part off of his kimono, Inu-Yasha wrapped it around Sakura. "Come on Sakura! Don't die on me!" with that said, Inu-Yasha heard a little gasp of air go into Sakura. A little relieved, Inu-Yasha just started to run.
With out a clue in the world as to where a hospital is, Inu-Yasha runs around aimlessly looking for someone or something that might point out where they even are. "Damn!! Where the hell is a hospital when you need one!?!?!?!?" yelled Inu-Yasha. Finally after about 5 minutes of running around, Inu-Yasha found a hospital. Running in like a manic, he goes to the nearest doctor.
"Nurse! Get me a stretcher now!" ordered the Doctor. Inu-Yasha wanting to follow Sakura to wherever they where taking her, were told to sit and stay in the waiting room until the doctor called him. "Argh! I can't just stay here and do nothing!" said Inu-Yasha. He then was brought a clipboard with some papers attached to it. Not knowing anything about Sakura's medical life, he got up and went to go call Saiyuki and the others.
"Hello?"
"Hey Saiyuki it's me Inu-Yasha."
"Inu-Yasha! Did you find Sakura?!"
"Ya I found her, but."
"But what?"
"Just get the others and come down to the ummmmmm. wait one minute."
"OK..."
"Hey Nurse, what hospital is this?"
"This is the Akikia hospital."
"Hey Saiyuki, come to the Akikia hospital with the others."
"OK?"
"Well see you and the others soon, and hurry!" With that said, they hung up, and Inu-Yasha walked back and sat down again, thinking if Sakura was going to be OK or not.
~Home~
"You guys that was Inu-Yasha, and he told us to go to the Akikia Hospital, and he sounded, well. You guys aren't going to believe me, but he sounded scared."
"Are you sure he sounded scared? You know how Inu-Yasha is; he never shows any sign of emotion. And I mean EVER!"
"I know what I heard Serena! And in not lying! He really sounded scared," retorted Saiyuki.
"Come on! Stop arguing, and let's get going! If Inu-Yasha really sounded that scared, then it must be something really bad!" said Kagasaki.
"K! Let's go!" said Serena.
Just as they were about to leave Saiyuki said, "Wait what about Kenshin?"
"We'll just have to leave a note, now let's go!" Just when they opened the door, Kenshin popped out of no where.
"Kenshin!" exclaimed Saiyuki.
"No time for small talk! We'll tell him on the way now stop stalling!" ordered Kagasaki.
~Hospital~
After about 10 minutes of waiting, Saiyuki, Serena, Kagasaki, and Kenshin arrived at the hospital. "Inu-Yasha! Where's Sakura?!" asked Kenshin.
"I don't know," said Inu-Yasha.
"How is she?" questioned Saiyuki.
"I don't know," replied Inu-Yasha.
"Is she going to be all right?" inquired Serena.
"I DON'T KNOW!!! GOD DAMN IT people I don't fucking know anything! KUSO! If I knew anything do you think I'd be sitting here right now?!" yelled Inu- Yasha.
"Inu-Yasha! Calm down! We're all just as worried as you are!" said Kagasaki.
"NO! You don't get it!" retorted Inu-Yasha.
"Inu-Yasha? This isn't like you. What happened to the strong, willfulness you always have? You're scaring me. I've never seen you like this," said Saiyuki.
"I'm sorry Saiyuki," apologized Inu-Yasha.
Everyone: "GASP!"
"I.I.Inu-Yasha. d.d.did you just say that you.. That you. were sorry?!?!?!" asked Serena.
"WHOA! This must me something REALLY BIG for Inu-Yasha to apologize," said Kagasaki. Now the really worried Kenshin went up to Inu-Yasha, grabbed him by the shoulder, and demanded "Inu-Yasha! What happened to Sakura?! Is she alright?!"
"I couldn't get there in time. if I still was a youkai. I might have been able to get there in time," said Inu-Yasha.
"WH.what do you mean?" stuttered Kenshin. Just then, the doctor who took Sakura from Inu-Yasha came up behind Kenshin and said, "Cough Cough. You were the one who brought in that young girl; aren't you?"
"Y...ya! Is she going to be all right?" asked Kenshin with a worried look on his face.
"I'm really sorry to tell you this but?"
"What happened!? Tell me!! NOW!!!!" demanded Inu-Yasha, grabbing the doctor by his collar.
"Well, we did all we could. But..." started the Doctor.
"Oh MY GOD!!!! Don't tell that... That... That she's dead..." said the shocked and terrified Saiyuki.
"She's not dead, but it's all up to her now, but I can tell you this now, it doesn't seem like she."
"What is it Doctor?" asked Saiyuki.
"Well, it seems like she. doesn't want to live," answered the doctor.
"Wh.What do you mean, she doesn't want to live?" asked Kagasaki.
"You heard me. She doesn't have any will to live. Right now it's all up to her to choose between life and death, and it doesn't look all too bright right now," said the doctor.
"Are you saying that you don't think she's going to make it?" asked Kenshin.
"Well..... From the looks of it yes. I mean, if I were her right now this moment, I wouldn't really be jumping up and down to stay alive," said the Doctor.
"I know Sakura, and I know that she will come back. Even if all odds are against her, I know that she'll make it and come back," believed Inu-Yasha.
"Can we go and see her?" asked Serena with a hopeful gleam in her eyes.
"Go ahead. You can stay there for as long as you want," said the Doctor.
~Inside Sakura's Room~
"OH~ Sakura?" said Kenshin
"How could this have happened?" thought Kagasaki. At the sight of one of their closest friends lying on the hospital bed with tubes, needles, a machine to help her breath, and the beeping machine going Beep...Beep...Beep.... Every several seconds, and other stuff running in and out of her made the two girls so scared. As the hours ticked by, one by one all the kids left. All but one...
"How could this have happened? I couldn't get there in time. I'm so sorry Sakura. I swore to myself, on my parent's grave that I'd never let anything bad happen to you. Never! I couldn't be there for you. Am I that weak in this retched human body? Am I so weak that I can't even protect you?" wept Inu-Yasha, now grabbing Sakura's hand. Holding her hand in his somehow reassured him that she'd come back to the world of the living. Slowly feeling drowsy, Inu-Yasha soon fell asleep next to Sakura's bed with her hand still in his. As a nurse walked by, she saw him sitting there sleeping, and wrapped a blanket around him.
"This must be very hard for these children. Oh so very hard, but they don't realize that it'll just get harder," said a nurse as she walked out.
~Next Morning~
"Was he there all night?" asked the Doctor.
"It appears to be, Doctor," replied the Nurse. Just then the other 4 kids came.
"How's she doing' Doc?" asked Kagasaki.
"There seems to be no change," said the Doctor.
"Be honest please. Do you think she's going to get better?" asked Serena.
"Honestly? I don't think so," answered the Doctor.
"Can we go see her?" asked Saiyuki.
"Ya, go right ahead, one of your friends is already in there," said the Doctor.
"I guess Inu-Yasha never left last night," assumed Kenshin.
As Kenshin got close to Inu-Yasha, he said, "Hey Inu-Yasha... Inu-Yasha. Wake up."
"Huh? What?" said Inu-Yasha as he woke up. "Did I sleep here all night? I guess I must have?"
"Here let's go and get you something to eat," said Serena.
"No, it's alright. I'm not all that hungry," declined Inu-Yasha.
"Come on Inu-Yasha we'll go and get some Ramen for you," tempted Saiyuki.
"I'm not hungry," said Inu-Yasha.
"Come on Inu-Yasha! You have to eat something!!!" yelled Kagasaki.
"I said I'm not hungry," said Inu-Yasha giving the three of them the death stare that said 'if you don't leave me alone I'm going to kill you!'
"Hey you guys give me a minute with Inu-Yasha, alone," requested Kenshin. With that said everyone left the room except Kenshin and Inu-Yasha.
"Inu-Yasha," said Kenshin. Still not looking up from Sakura, Inu-Yasha grunted an agitated, "what?"
"I think I know what's going on," Kenshin said calmly.
"What do you mean?" asked Inu-Yasha still not looking up from Sakura.
"What I mean is why you didn't leave Sakura's side last night, won't look away from her, won't even eat! I wasn't born yesterday you know," replied Kenshin.
"I.I don't know what you're talking about. I'm only doing this because I feel responsible for what happened, and nothing more got it!" retorted the now, getting pissed off, Inu-Yasha.
"Inu-Yasha!" said Kenshin putting a hand on Inu-Yasha's shoulder. "Stop lying to yourself! And to the others around you! I know you love Sakura!" said Kenshin getting really frustrated at Inu-Yasha for being so childish.
Now for the first time looking away from Sakura, Inu-Yasha yells, "I'm not in love with her! Alright! She means nothing to me! She can't mean anything to me! No one else can!"
"Inu-Yasha? Stop acting like a 13 year old school boy! You as well as I know that you're not one!" retorted Kenshin.
"I won't have her get killed like the other times! I refuse to let her get hurt again because of my stupid, selfish, feelings!" yelled the, almost to tears, Inu-Yasha.
"You know, sooner or later she's going to find out. And then when she does, she won't be able to put it aside. She has a mind of her own! No matter how hard you try, you can't put off the possibility that she might fall in love with you!" understood Kenshin.
"Well I'll just make sure she doesn't fall in love with me! Alright!" said Inu-Yasha now in tears. Before Kenshin could say something else, the Nurse walked in.
"I'm sorry to bother you, but I need to run some checks on Sakura," said the Nurse.
"It's alright," replied Kenshin. "Come on Inu-Yasha, let's go outside."
"Can I stay in here, Nurse?" asked Inu-Yasha.
"Sure go ahead," replied the Nurse. Just as Inu-Yasha was about to sit down, Kenshin grabbed his shoulder, and said, "Inu-Yasha, come outside with me and lets finish this talk."
"No. I'm not going to go," replied Inu-Yasha. With that said Kenshin grabbed Inu-Yasha's shoulder harder as a sign of warning.
"I'm not asking," snapped Kenshin.
"Not in here! Not in front of her," said Inu-Yasha through clenched teeth's.
"Then let's step outside," suggested Kenshin.
"Let's finish this later," replied Inu-Yasha.
"No! Let's finish it now!" retorted Kenshin.
"I said let's finish this later! And let go of my shoulder," barked Inu- Yasha.
"Inu-Yasha, don't make me force you. At least not in here," said Kenshin.
"I won't repeat myself again. Let go!?" yelled Inu-Yasha.
"Shhhhhhhh. This is a hospital not a playground," ordered the Nurse.
"I'm sorry, he'll leave now," replied Inu-Yasha.
"I'm not done with you yet Inu-Yasha," said Kenshin as he made his way out of the room.
~Sakura's Thought's~
Sakura was sitting in a dark room all by herself, crying.
"Where is everyone?" stuttered Sakura.
Then all of a sudden a bright, warm, light filled the room.
"Sakura! I can't believe you! I never would have guessed that I'd ever see you like this. In a dark room, on the verge of death, crying! Did I not teach you to be tougher then that?!" teased the bright light. Slowly turning around, Sakura's eye's began to grow bigger and bigger. Then all of a sudden she ran to the bright light, and stifled out, "I missed you sooooooooo much!!!! I thought that I'd never see you again!"
With open arms, the light welcomed Sakura with a nice, comforting, big, smile. "Well I didn't expect to see you ever again either, well at least like this," said the light. "Now, how's bout you go back to your own body"
"I.I don't want to" was all Sakura said.
"What do you mean you don't want to? Are you saying you'd rather die then live?!" said the light.
"Basically. yes," responded Sakura.
"Sakura look me in the eyes and tell me that you don't want to live," ordered the light.
"I don't want to," replied Sakura.
"As your older brother I command you!" demanded Sakura's older brother.
"I SAID I DON'T WANT TO!!!!!!! All that that's going to accomplish, is me just repeating what I said before. I said I don't want to live and I mean it! There's nothing left for me in the world!!! Not you, not Mom, not Dad, not ANYONE!!!!!!!" yelled Sakura looking up at her older brother now with tear stained eye's
"Sakura... Think hard. Do you really believe that there's no one left for you back on Earth?" asked Sakura's older brother.
"Ya! I really believe that there's nothing left for me back there. You, Mom, Dad, and even the twerp, are all gone... All I have back there is disappointment, pain, and loneliness," replied Sakura.
"Sakura, look down," commanded Sakura's older brother, Taisuke. "Look at the face's of the people down there. Do they look like the faces of people who don't care about you?" asked Taisuke.
"Serena... Kenshin... Yuki... Kagasaki... Th...Those tears... Are those tears being shed because of me?" questioned Sakura.
"Yes, but even more so look in the room you're staying in," told Taisuke.
"Why?" asked Sakura.
"Just do as your older brother says to do," replied Taisuke.
When Sakura turned around she was shocked beyond belief. She'd never ever in her whole entire life ever even thinking it possible to see a site like this. "A...Am... I seeing things? I must be 'cause this can never happen,"
"You're not seeing things, Sakura, what you see before you is the plain truth," informed Taisuke.
"So Inu-Yasha is... is..." Sakura was so shocked that she couldn't even talk.
"Yes. Don't think it's impossible, you know he has feelings too, although he may never show it," said Taisuke.
"Wow... I never would have imagined in my wildest dream of Inu-Yasha caring for me, nonetheless, cry for me" said Sakura.
"Well, do you still think that no one is left for you, and no one care's for you?" asked Taisuke.
"Thanks. I needed to see this. I think if it weren't for you, I'd never have known this and I'd probably be blind as a bat about this," thanked Sakura.
"Well, what are older brothers for?" teased Taisuke. "Now are you ready t o go back now?" asked Taisuke.
"Not quite yet. I have this strange feeling that something's going to happen, and if I wake up right now then I wouldn't know what that is," replied Sakura.
"NO!!! As your older brother I command you to go back to your body!" commanded Taisuke.
"Why?" asked Sakura.
"DON'T ASK QUESTIONS AND GO BACK TO YOUR BODY!!!!!!" yelled Taisuke.
"You know something and you're not telling me. What is it!?" said Sakura with a sly look.
"Just do as I say for once, please," begged Taisuke.
"No. I want to know what's going to happen. I have an odd feeling that it's about me, so I deserve to know," reasoned Sakura.
~Looking into Sakura's room~
Creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek.
"Inu-Yasha lets finish our talk now," said Kenshin.
"OOOOOOOO. Taisuke its beginning! I Think this is what I felt was going to happen!" said Sakura.
"Whatever," was all Inu-Yasha said.
"God Damn you Inu-Yasha! For once can't you let go of your pride?!" yelled Kenshin.
"I told you, I don't love her, and I never will," replied Inu-Yasha.
"God! Inu-Yasha sometimes I wish you weren't born with such a big ego!" said Kenshin.
"Well if that's all then leave," said Inu-Yasha.
"Awwwww. Is that all?!" said the disappointed Sakura.
"OK. Since that's all let's get you back in..." started Taisuke.
"No! I won't be through until you admit that you love Sakura!" yelled Kenshin.
"God... Kenshin can't you just leave me alone, and stop talking about who I love..." said Inu-Yasha.
"I'm sorry Inu-Yasha that I am. I shouldn't be prying into your personal life, but I won't let Sakura, or you live a life based on lies, but mainly I won't allow Sakura to get hurt because of you," replied Kenshin.
"You talk about lies... Well if I say that I love Sakura then I'd be living a life flooded with lies because that'd be a lie. Got it," said Inu-Yasha.
"That's a lie and you know it Inu-Yasha! Do you know how much pain and suffering your lies will cause Sakura?!" retorted Kenshin.
"OOOOO! Now it's getting interesting!" rooted Sakura.
"Ya I think you right," said the now interested Taisuke.
"How dare you talk about pain and suffering in front of me!!!? You can't even start to imagine all of the pain I've been, or all the pain and suffering's I've caused because of these stupid feeling's! Two people, people that I loved, died because of ME! One even came back from the dead to avenge her death, on me! No matter what happened she swore to kill me and drag me to hell with her. I still loved her so I couldn't kill her myself. She hated to so much that she even helped the man responsible for killing her, in the first place, so that he could kill me!!! From then on she did everything she could think of to kill me. But as the days went by, I started to realize that I didn't love her anymore. When she found out, she thought that by killing the one that I fell in love with, over her, that she'd win, and that I'd have no problem going down to Hell with her. Then I swore on Kagome's grave, that as long as evil is still around, and I am living and breathing, I will never love AGAIN! So before you start talking about pain and suffering, you just might want to think about the other's past!" yelled Inu-Yasha. All Kenshin could do now is just stare at the Inu-Yasha and the stream of tears flowing down his face.
"Wow! I never knew Inu-Yasha knew so much pain..." whispered Sakura.
"Ya.. I never knew anyone who had as much pain as he does," said Taisuke.
"I feel so sorry for him," said Sakura. "I think I'm ready to go back now, please take me back," pleaded Sakura.
"I'd be more then happy to, little sister," replied Taisuke.
"But before I go back, can you do me a favor?" asked Sakura.
"Sure if you make it quick," answered Taisuke.
"OK. Well tell everyone up their, that well I miss them, and I wish I could of seen them too, and tell the twerp that even though it seems like I hated him all the time, I didn't really fully hate him. I still like him as my little brother," said Sakura.
"Sure. I'll tell everyone that for ya," replied Taisuke.
"Well bye. Come visit me in my dreams," said Sakura as she made her way back to her body.
"Bye... I wish the greatest luck to you," said Taisuke as Sakura flew off to her body. When she was out of hearing reach he said, "you'll need all the strength you can get to go on with life that is planed out for you now."
Slowly, Sakura started to open her eyes. Slowly adjusting to the bright light, she opened her eyes.
"In....Inu.... Inu-Yasha..." stuttered Sakura.
Slowly turning around from facing Kenshin, he wiped his tears, and whispered, "Sa....Sakura... You're... You're alive."
Bolting up from her lying position Sakura cried out, "Oh INU-YASHA!!!!!!!!" "I heard everything!!!! I'm so sorry that you had to go through all that pain by yourself!!!!" As she embraced Inu-Yasha she whispered into his ear, "from now on you never have to go through that pain alone. I will forever be by our side, and eternally grateful for rescuing me from that man." Shocked Inu-Yasha slowly began to embrace her back.
"Sakura!!!!!! You're alive!!!!" yelled Serena.
"I was soooo worried!" said the now stress relieved Yuki.
"I'm glad your back," said Kagasaki.
"I am glad that you are back that I am," said Kenshin.
"Thanks you guys!! I guess it's true that you never really appreciate something until you've lost it," thanked Sakura. "Hey you guy's I'm sorry to break this reunion short, but can I have a minute alone with Kenshin?" asked Sakura.
"Sure..." said everyone in unison.
As soon as Sakura was sure no body was around0 she said to Kenshin, "Hey Kenshin..."
"Ya."
"I wanted to thank you."
"Thank me for what?" asked Kenshin.
"For helping me realize that there was more in store for me in this lifetime, and that my life wasn't supposed to end now. If it weren't for you talking to Inu-Yasha, I don't think that I would have come back, so thanks." Before Kenshin could reply, the Nurse and the Doctor rushed inside.
"Well I'll be darned. It's true. Your friend was right. You do have a strong will to live," said the Doctor.
"Well thank the heavens," said the Nurse.
"It wasn't my will that brought me back.... It was more because of my friends, and their love for me that brought me back," replied Sakura.
"Well I know that you must be tired so we'll let you get some rest," said the Doctor.
Just as the Doctor, Nurse, and Kenshin was about to leave Sakura asked," ummmmmm... Can I ask you to send Inu-Yasha in for a minute, please?"
"Sure. I'll tell him to come in," replied Kenshin.
~A few minutes later~
"Sakura..." Inu-Yasha said shyly.
"Inu-Yasha... Can you come here for a minute?" asked Sakura.
"Sure," said Inu-Yasha as he slowly moved closer.
"Come just a little closer please," requested Sakura. Inu-Yasha was now in arms reach of Sakura. Suddenly out of no where, Sakura embraced Inu-Yasha in a big hug.
"Thanks Inu-Yasha! I wouldn't be here right now if it weren't for you," said Sakura softly crying into Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha tried to get out of the hug to look at her face, but all she said was," please don't leave me, please.... I need you by my side. I need you to protect me from that man. Please stay by my side."
"Sakura...." said Inu-Yasha as he started embrace her back. "Sakura, I'll never leave you again. I'll always be here to protect you. You don't have to worry anymore. I'll be there for you no matter what, and you shouldn't be thanking me, I should be asking you for forgiveness. Forgiveness from my lack of abilities to save you and to get to you in time."
"Inu-Yasha.... You have to know that you did all that you could, and I'm grateful for that. If it weren't for you then I wouldn't be breathing and living right now. So please don't beat yourself up because of me, please," and with that Sakura fell asleep in Inu-Yasha's arms.
"You don't know how much you're going to hate me later... I just hope you can forgive me for what you find out soon," said Inu-Yasha as he slowly, and gently put Sakura down. After one last look at Sakura, Inu-Yasha turned off the lights, and slowly closed the door.

Chapter 4: No Reason to live?
"Oh. God, no!" whispered Inu-Yasha. With that, Inu-Yasha ran over to the bloody, limp, body on the floor. "Sakura? Come on Sakura, wake up! At least give me a sign that you're still alive," when Inu-Yasha felt/heard nothing come out of the lifeless body, he started to really panic. Taking the top part off of his kimono, Inu-Yasha wrapped it around Sakura. "Come on Sakura! Don't die on me!" with that said, Inu-Yasha heard a little gasp of air go into Sakura. A little relieved, Inu-Yasha just started to run.
With out a clue in the world as to where a hospital is, Inu-Yasha runs around aimlessly looking for someone or something that might point out where they even are. "Damn!! Where the hell is a hospital when you need one!?!?!?!?" yelled Inu-Yasha. Finally after about 5 minutes of running around, Inu-Yasha found a hospital. Running in like a manic, he goes to the nearest doctor.
"Nurse! Get me a stretcher now!" ordered the Doctor. Inu-Yasha wanting to follow Sakura to wherever they where taking her, were told to sit and stay in the waiting room until the doctor called him. "Argh! I can't just stay here and do nothing!" said Inu-Yasha. He then was brought a clipboard with some papers attached to it. Not knowing anything about Sakura's medical life, he got up and went to go call Saiyuki and the others.
"Hello?"
"Hey Saiyuki it's me Inu-Yasha."
"Inu-Yasha! Did you find Sakura?!"
"Ya I found her, but."
"But what?"
"Just get the others and come down to the ummmmmm. wait one minute."
"OK..."
"Hey Nurse, what hospital is this?"
"This is the Akikia hospital."
"Hey Saiyuki, come to the Akikia hospital with the others."
"OK?"
"Well see you and the others soon, and hurry!" With that said, they hung up, and Inu-Yasha walked back and sat down again, thinking if Sakura was going to be OK or not.
~Home~
"You guys that was Inu-Yasha, and he told us to go to the Akikia Hospital, and he sounded, well. You guys aren't going to believe me, but he sounded scared."
"Are you sure he sounded scared? You know how Inu-Yasha is; he never shows any sign of emotion. And I mean EVER!"
"I know what I heard Serena! And in not lying! He really sounded scared," retorted Saiyuki.
"Come on! Stop arguing, and let's get going! If Inu-Yasha really sounded that scared, then it must be something really bad!" said Kagasaki.
"K! Let's go!" said Serena.
Just as they were about to leave Saiyuki said, "Wait what about Kenshin?"
"We'll just have to leave a note, now let's go!" Just when they opened the door, Kenshin popped out of no where.
"Kenshin!" exclaimed Saiyuki.
"No time for small talk! We'll tell him on the way now stop stalling!" ordered Kagasaki.
~Hospital~
After about 10 minutes of waiting, Saiyuki, Serena, Kagasaki, and Kenshin arrived at the hospital. "Inu-Yasha! Where's Sakura?!" asked Kenshin.
"I don't know," said Inu-Yasha.
"How is she?" questioned Saiyuki.
"I don't know," replied Inu-Yasha.
"Is she going to be all right?" inquired Serena.
"I DON'T KNOW!!! GOD DAMN IT people I don't fucking know anything! KUSO! If I knew anything do you think I'd be sitting here right now?!" yelled Inu- Yasha.
"Inu-Yasha! Calm down! We're all just as worried as you are!" said Kagasaki.
"NO! You don't get it!" retorted Inu-Yasha.
"Inu-Yasha? This isn't like you. What happened to the strong, willfulness you always have? You're scaring me. I've never seen you like this," said Saiyuki.
"I'm sorry Saiyuki," apologized Inu-Yasha.
Everyone: "GASP!"
"I.I.Inu-Yasha. d.d.did you just say that you.. That you. were sorry?!?!?!" asked Serena.
"WHOA! This must me something REALLY BIG for Inu-Yasha to apologize," said Kagasaki. Now the really worried Kenshin went up to Inu-Yasha, grabbed him by the shoulder, and demanded "Inu-Yasha! What happened to Sakura?! Is she alright?!"
"I couldn't get there in time. if I still was a youkai. I might have been able to get there in time," said Inu-Yasha.
"WH.what do you mean?" stuttered Kenshin. Just then, the doctor who took Sakura from Inu-Yasha came up behind Kenshin and said, "Cough Cough. You were the one who brought in that young girl; aren't you?"
"Y...ya! Is she going to be all right?" asked Kenshin with a worried look on his face.
"I'm really sorry to tell you this but?"
"What happened!? Tell me!! NOW!!!!" demanded Inu-Yasha, grabbing the doctor by his collar.
"Well, we did all we could. But..." started the Doctor.
"Oh MY GOD!!!! Don't tell that... That... That she's dead..." said the shocked and terrified Saiyuki.
"She's not dead, but it's all up to her now, but I can tell you this now, it doesn't seem like she."
"What is it Doctor?" asked Saiyuki.
"Well, it seems like she. doesn't want to live," answered the doctor.
"Wh.What do you mean, she doesn't want to live?" asked Kagasaki.
"You heard me. She doesn't have any will to live. Right now it's all up to her to choose between life and death, and it doesn't look all too bright right now," said the doctor.
"Are you saying that you don't think she's going to make it?" asked Kenshin.
"Well..... From the looks of it yes. I mean, if I were her right now this moment, I wouldn't really be jumping up and down to stay alive," said the Doctor.
"I know Sakura, and I know that she will come back. Even if all odds are against her, I know that she'll make it and come back," believed Inu-Yasha.
"Can we go and see her?" asked Serena with a hopeful gleam in her eyes.
"Go ahead. You can stay there for as long as you want," said the Doctor.
~Inside Sakura's Room~
"OH~ Sakura?" said Kenshin
"How could this have happened?" thought Kagasaki. At the sight of one of their closest friends lying on the hospital bed with tubes, needles, a machine to help her breath, and the beeping machine going Beep...Beep...Beep.... Every several seconds, and other stuff running in and out of her made the two girls so scared. As the hours ticked by, one by one all the kids left. All but one...
"How could this have happened? I couldn't get there in time. I'm so sorry Sakura. I swore to myself, on my parent's grave that I'd never let anything bad happen to you. Never! I couldn't be there for you. Am I that weak in this retched human body? Am I so weak that I can't even protect you?" wept Inu-Yasha, now grabbing Sakura's hand. Holding her hand in his somehow reassured him that she'd come back to the world of the living. Slowly feeling drowsy, Inu-Yasha soon fell asleep next to Sakura's bed with her hand still in his. As a nurse walked by, she saw him sitting there sleeping, and wrapped a blanket around him.
"This must be very hard for these children. Oh so very hard, but they don't realize that it'll just get harder," said a nurse as she walked out.
~Next Morning~
"Was he there all night?" asked the Doctor.
"It appears to be, Doctor," replied the Nurse. Just then the other 4 kids came.
"How's she doing' Doc?" asked Kagasaki.
"There seems to be no change," said the Doctor.
"Be honest please. Do you think she's going to get better?" asked Serena.
"Honestly? I don't think so," answered the Doctor.
"Can we go see her?" asked Saiyuki.
"Ya, go right ahead, one of your friends is already in there," said the Doctor.
"I guess Inu-Yasha never left last night," assumed Kenshin.
As Kenshin got close to Inu-Yasha, he said, "Hey Inu-Yasha... Inu-Yasha. Wake up."
"Huh? What?" said Inu-Yasha as he woke up. "Did I sleep here all night? I guess I must have?"
"Here let's go and get you something to eat," said Serena.
"No, it's alright. I'm not all that hungry," declined Inu-Yasha.
"Come on Inu-Yasha we'll go and get some Ramen for you," tempted Saiyuki.
"I'm not hungry," said Inu-Yasha.
"Come on Inu-Yasha! You have to eat something!!!" yelled Kagasaki.
"I said I'm not hungry," said Inu-Yasha giving the three of them the death stare that said 'if you don't leave me alone I'm going to kill you!'
"Hey you guys give me a minute with Inu-Yasha, alone," requested Kenshin. With that said everyone left the room except Kenshin and Inu-Yasha.
"Inu-Yasha," said Kenshin. Still not looking up from Sakura, Inu-Yasha grunted an agitated, "what?"
"I think I know what's going on," Kenshin said calmly.
"What do you mean?" asked Inu-Yasha still not looking up from Sakura.
"What I mean is why you didn't leave Sakura's side last night, won't look away from her, won't even eat! I wasn't born yesterday you know," replied Kenshin.
"I.I don't know what you're talking about. I'm only doing this because I feel responsible for what happened, and nothing more got it!" retorted the now, getting pissed off, Inu-Yasha.
"Inu-Yasha!" said Kenshin putting a hand on Inu-Yasha's shoulder. "Stop lying to yourself! And to the others around you! I know you love Sakura!" said Kenshin getting really frustrated at Inu-Yasha for being so childish.
Now for the first time looking away from Sakura, Inu-Yasha yells, "I'm not in love with her! Alright! She means nothing to me! She can't mean anything to me! No one else can!"
"Inu-Yasha? Stop acting like a 13 year old school boy! You as well as I know that you're not one!" retorted Kenshin.
"I won't have her get killed like the other times! I refuse to let her get hurt again because of my stupid, selfish, feelings!" yelled the, almost to tears, Inu-Yasha.
"You know, sooner or later she's going to find out. And then when she does, she won't be able to put it aside. She has a mind of her own! No matter how hard you try, you can't put off the possibility that she might fall in love with you!" understood Kenshin.
"Well I'll just make sure she doesn't fall in love with me! Alright!" said Inu-Yasha now in tears. Before Kenshin could say something else, the Nurse walked in.
"I'm sorry to bother you, but I need to run some checks on Sakura," said the Nurse.
"It's alright," replied Kenshin. "Come on Inu-Yasha, let's go outside."
"Can I stay in here, Nurse?" asked Inu-Yasha.
"Sure go ahead," replied the Nurse. Just as Inu-Yasha was about to sit down, Kenshin grabbed his shoulder, and said, "Inu-Yasha, come outside with me and lets finish this talk."
"No. I'm not going to go," replied Inu-Yasha. With that said Kenshin grabbed Inu-Yasha's shoulder harder as a sign of warning.
"I'm not asking," snapped Kenshin.
"Not in here! Not in front of her," said Inu-Yasha through clenched teeth's.
"Then let's step outside," suggested Kenshin.
"Let's finish this later," replied Inu-Yasha.
"No! Let's finish it now!" retorted Kenshin.
"I said let's finish this later! And let go of my shoulder," barked Inu- Yasha.
"Inu-Yasha, don't make me force you. At least not in here," said Kenshin.
"I won't repeat myself again. Let go!?" yelled Inu-Yasha.
"Shhhhhhhh. This is a hospital not a playground," ordered the Nurse.
"I'm sorry, he'll leave now," replied Inu-Yasha.
"I'm not done with you yet Inu-Yasha," said Kenshin as he made his way out of the room.
~Sakura's Thought's~
Sakura was sitting in a dark room all by herself, crying.
"Where is everyone?" stuttered Sakura.
Then all of a sudden a bright, warm, light filled the room.
"Sakura! I can't believe you! I never would have guessed that I'd ever see you like this. In a dark room, on the verge of death, crying! Did I not teach you to be tougher then that?!" teased the bright light. Slowly turning around, Sakura's eye's began to grow bigger and bigger. Then all of a sudden she ran to the bright light, and stifled out, "I missed you sooooooooo much!!!! I thought that I'd never see you again!"
With open arms, the light welcomed Sakura with a nice, comforting, big, smile. "Well I didn't expect to see you ever again either, well at least like this," said the light. "Now, how's bout you go back to your own body"
"I.I don't want to" was all Sakura said.
"What do you mean you don't want to? Are you saying you'd rather die then live?!" said the light.
"Basically. yes," responded Sakura.
"Sakura look me in the eyes and tell me that you don't want to live," ordered the light.
"I don't want to," replied Sakura.
"As your older brother I command you!" demanded Sakura's older brother.
"I SAID I DON'T WANT TO!!!!!!! All that that's going to accomplish, is me just repeating what I said before. I said I don't want to live and I mean it! There's nothing left for me in the world!!! Not you, not Mom, not Dad, not ANYONE!!!!!!!" yelled Sakura looking up at her older brother now with tear stained eye's
"Sakura... Think hard. Do you really believe that there's no one left for you back on Earth?" asked Sakura's older brother.
"Ya! I really believe that there's nothing left for me back there. You, Mom, Dad, and even the twerp, are all gone... All I have back there is disappointment, pain, and loneliness," replied Sakura.
"Sakura, look down," commanded Sakura's older brother, Taisuke. "Look at the face's of the people down there. Do they look like the faces of people who don't care about you?" asked Taisuke.
"Serena... Kenshin... Yuki... Kagasaki... Th...Those tears... Are those tears being shed because of me?" questioned Sakura.
"Yes, but even more so look in the room you're staying in," told Taisuke.
"Why?" asked Sakura.
"Just do as your older brother says to do," replied Taisuke.
When Sakura turned around she was shocked beyond belief. She'd never ever in her whole entire life ever even thinking it possible to see a site like this. "A...Am... I seeing things? I must be 'cause this can never happen,"
"You're not seeing things, Sakura, what you see before you is the plain truth," informed Taisuke.
"So Inu-Yasha is... is..." Sakura was so shocked that she couldn't even talk.
"Yes. Don't think it's impossible, you know he has feelings too, although he may never show it," said Taisuke.
"Wow... I never would have imagined in my wildest dream of Inu-Yasha caring for me, nonetheless, cry for me" said Sakura.
"Well, do you still think that no one is left for you, and no one care's for you?" asked Taisuke.
"Thanks. I needed to see this. I think if it weren't for you, I'd never have known this and I'd probably be blind as a bat about this," thanked Sakura.
"Well, what are older brothers for?" teased Taisuke. "Now are you ready t o go back now?" asked Taisuke.
"Not quite yet. I have this strange feeling that something's going to happen, and if I wake up right now then I wouldn't know what that is," replied Sakura.
"NO!!! As your older brother I command you to go back to your body!" commanded Taisuke.
"Why?" asked Sakura.
"DON'T ASK QUESTIONS AND GO BACK TO YOUR BODY!!!!!!" yelled Taisuke.
"You know something and you're not telling me. What is it!?" said Sakura with a sly look.
"Just do as I say for once, please," begged Taisuke.
"No. I want to know what's going to happen. I have an odd feeling that it's about me, so I deserve to know," reasoned Sakura.
~Looking into Sakura's room~
Creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek.
"Inu-Yasha lets finish our talk now," said Kenshin.
"OOOOOOOO. Taisuke its beginning! I Think this is what I felt was going to happen!" said Sakura.
"Whatever," was all Inu-Yasha said.
"God Damn you Inu-Yasha! For once can't you let go of your pride?!" yelled Kenshin.
"I told you, I don't love her, and I never will," replied Inu-Yasha.
"God! Inu-Yasha sometimes I wish you weren't born with such a big ego!" said Kenshin.
"Well if that's all then leave," said Inu-Yasha.
"Awwwww. Is that all?!" said the disappointed Sakura.
"OK. Since that's all let's get you back in..." started Taisuke.
"No! I won't be through until you admit that you love Sakura!" yelled Kenshin.
"God... Kenshin can't you just leave me alone, and stop talking about who I love..." said Inu-Yasha.
"I'm sorry Inu-Yasha that I am. I shouldn't be prying into your personal life, but I won't let Sakura, or you live a life based on lies, but mainly I won't allow Sakura to get hurt because of you," replied Kenshin.
"You talk about lies... Well if I say that I love Sakura then I'd be living a life flooded with lies because that'd be a lie. Got it," said Inu-Yasha.
"That's a lie and you know it Inu-Yasha! Do you know how much pain and suffering your lies will cause Sakura?!" retorted Kenshin.
"OOOOO! Now it's getting interesting!" rooted Sakura.
"Ya I think you right," said the now interested Taisuke.
"How dare you talk about pain and suffering in front of me!!!? You can't even start to imagine all of the pain I've been, or all the pain and suffering's I've caused because of these stupid feeling's! Two people, people that I loved, died because of ME! One even came back from the dead to avenge her death, on me! No matter what happened she swore to kill me and drag me to hell with her. I still loved her so I couldn't kill her myself. She hated to so much that she even helped the man responsible for killing her, in the first place, so that he could kill me!!! From then on she did everything she could think of to kill me. But as the days went by, I started to realize that I didn't love her anymore. When she found out, she thought that by killing the one that I fell in love with, over her, that she'd win, and that I'd have no problem going down to Hell with her. Then I swore on Kagome's grave, that as long as evil is still around, and I am living and breathing, I will never love AGAIN! So before you start talking about pain and suffering, you just might want to think about the other's past!" yelled Inu-Yasha. All Kenshin could do now is just stare at the Inu-Yasha and the stream of tears flowing down his face.
"Wow! I never knew Inu-Yasha knew so much pain..." whispered Sakura.
"Ya.. I never knew anyone who had as much pain as he does," said Taisuke.
"I feel so sorry for him," said Sakura. "I think I'm ready to go back now, please take me back," pleaded Sakura.
"I'd be more then happy to, little sister," replied Taisuke.
"But before I go back, can you do me a favor?" asked Sakura.
"Sure if you make it quick," answered Taisuke.
"OK. Well tell everyone up their, that well I miss them, and I wish I could of seen them too, and tell the twerp that even though it seems like I hated him all the time, I didn't really fully hate him. I still like him as my little brother," said Sakura.
"Sure. I'll tell everyone that for ya," replied Taisuke.
"Well bye. Come visit me in my dreams," said Sakura as she made her way back to her body.
"Bye... I wish the greatest luck to you," said Taisuke as Sakura flew off to her body. When she was out of hearing reach he said, "you'll need all the strength you can get to go on with life that is planed out for you now."
Slowly, Sakura started to open her eyes. Slowly adjusting to the bright light, she opened her eyes.
"In....Inu.... Inu-Yasha..." stuttered Sakura.
Slowly turning around from facing Kenshin, he wiped his tears, and whispered, "Sa....Sakura... You're... You're alive."
Bolting up from her lying position Sakura cried out, "Oh INU-YASHA!!!!!!!!" "I heard everything!!!! I'm so sorry that you had to go through all that pain by yourself!!!!" As she embraced Inu-Yasha she whispered into his ear, "from now on you never have to go through that pain alone. I will forever be by our side, and eternally grateful for rescuing me from that man." Shocked Inu-Yasha slowly began to embrace her back.
"Sakura!!!!!! You're alive!!!!" yelled Serena.
"I was soooo worried!" said the now stress relieved Yuki.
"I'm glad your back," said Kagasaki.
"I am glad that you are back that I am," said Kenshin.
"Thanks you guys!! I guess it's true that you never really appreciate something until you've lost it," thanked Sakura. "Hey you guy's I'm sorry to break this reunion short, but can I have a minute alone with Kenshin?" asked Sakura.
"Sure..." said everyone in unison.
As soon as Sakura was sure no body was around0 she said to Kenshin, "Hey Kenshin..."
"Ya."
"I wanted to thank you."
"Thank me for what?" asked Kenshin.
"For helping me realize that there was more in store for me in this lifetime, and that my life wasn't supposed to end now. If it weren't for you talking to Inu-Yasha, I don't think that I would have come back, so thanks." Before Kenshin could reply, the Nurse and the Doctor rushed inside.
"Well I'll be darned. It's true. Your friend was right. You do have a strong will to live," said the Doctor.
"Well thank the heavens," said the Nurse.
"It wasn't my will that brought me back.... It was more because of my friends, and their love for me that brought me back," replied Sakura.
"Well I know that you must be tired so we'll let you get some rest," said the Doctor.
Just as the Doctor, Nurse, and Kenshin was about to leave Sakura asked," ummmmmm... Can I ask you to send Inu-Yasha in for a minute, please?"
"Sure. I'll tell him to come in," replied Kenshin.
~A few minutes later~
"Sakura..." Inu-Yasha said shyly.
"Inu-Yasha... Can you come here for a minute?" asked Sakura.
"Sure," said Inu-Yasha as he slowly moved closer.
"Come just a little closer please," requested Sakura. Inu-Yasha was now in arms reach of Sakura. Suddenly out of no where, Sakura embraced Inu-Yasha in a big hug.
"Thanks Inu-Yasha! I wouldn't be here right now if it weren't for you," said Sakura softly crying into Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha tried to get out of the hug to look at her face, but all she said was," please don't leave me, please.... I need you by my side. I need you to protect me from that man. Please stay by my side."
"Sakura...." said Inu-Yasha as he started embrace her back. "Sakura, I'll never leave you again. I'll always be here to protect you. You don't have to worry anymore. I'll be there for you no matter what, and you shouldn't be thanking me, I should be asking you for forgiveness. Forgiveness from my lack of abilities to save you and to get to you in time."
"Inu-Yasha.... You have to know that you did all that you could, and I'm grateful for that. If it weren't for you then I wouldn't be breathing and living right now. So please don't beat yourself up because of me, please," and with that Sakura fell asleep in Inu-Yasha's arms.
"You don't know how much you're going to hate me later... I just hope you can forgive me for what you find out soon," said Inu-Yasha as he slowly, and gently put Sakura down. After one last look at Sakura, Inu-Yasha turned off the lights, and slowly closed the door.
