The Woman Behind the Mask
Chapter 11
Kagome and Sango made it to the hospital and for Kagome just in time. Kagome had lost a lot of blood form this attack.
Inuyasha and other others including Sango sat out in the hallway and waited for any news about Kagome. Soon one of the doctors came out to talk to the group. Inuyasha immediately jumped up and ran over to him.
"Is Kagome all right?" Inuyasha demanded.
"Woah son. Calm down a little. Kagome is going to just fine. You got her here just in time," stated the doctor.
The group took a big sigh of relief.
"Can we go see her now?" asked Inuyasha.
"Well she doesn't need many visitors that would keep her awake. I will allow one for right now, but later she can have more after she has rested," replied the doctor.
"Inuyasha you go," said Miroku, "she is your so-to-be-wife after all."
"Ok guys thanks. Just wait here I shouldn't be long," said Inuyasha.
The doctor led Inuyasha down the hall to Kagome's room. Inuyasha slowly opened the door and stepped in and looked a Kagome's frail condition. Kagome was slightly pale from the incident and didn't move much. Inuyasha just figured she was sleeping so he decided to just let her sleep until he heard Kagome weak voice.
"Inu....yasha?" called Kagome.
Inuyasha was immediately at her side holding her hand as if she was a porcelain doll.
"Don't worry Kagome, I'm here," Inuyasha said softly back.
Kagome lightly squeezed Inuyasha's hand as if to say that everything was going to be ok. Inuyasha smiled, leaned over and lightly kissed Kagome on her forehead. He slowly pulled back still smiling.
"Now Kagome, get some rest. More rest you have the sooner you will be out of here."
Kagome nodded slowly, closed her eyes and slowly drifted off to a peaceful sleep. Inuyasha released her hand and walked out of the room and turned to look back a her before he closed the door.
"I love you Kagome. Get well soon," with that Inuyasha slowly closed the door and walked back down the hall to the others.
When he reached them he found that his father was with them. Inutaisho looked over and saw Inuyasha coming.
"Well now that you are all here I have some great news," Inutaisho started.
"What is it?" asked Sango.
"Well Kagome's step-father has been arrested and indited on all charges."
The whole group cheered. Finally Kagome could have a normal life away from worry. Unbeknownst to the group, Kagome was hiding her inner conflicts within her self. Inuyasha had not pushed it any farther because he thought from their last talk she had forgotten about it.
~~~Dream~~~
"Kagome."
Kagome looked around and spotted her mother.
"Mo-mother?"
"Yes Kagome it is me."
Kagome smiled happily as she ran over and hugged her mother as her mother did in return.
"Kagome dear, you need to let it all out."
Kagome pushed back and looked up at her mother.
"What do you mean?"
"You have to realize that Inuyasha and the others will helped you will the way you feel. You are not worthless Kagome."
"How can I believe that?"
"Kagome dear. Your father planted that in both of our heads. It took me till the day before I died to realize that for myself. Kagome I don't want to have you live through what I had to."
"Mom, that is all people let me believe. I don't know how to think otherwise."
"I know darling. But you have to let this out or it will consume you, understand?"
Kagome nodded and embraced her mother once again.
"I miss you mom."
"I will always be with you. Now it is time for me to go."
"Mom! Don't go, please."
"It is time for me to move on now you are safe. Live Kagome, that is what I want you to do now."
~~~End Dream~~~
Kagome's eyes shot open as the dream ended and found herself still in the hospital. She looked over to the side to find Inuyasha sleeping in a chair next to her bed with his hand by her side. Gently she reached down a held his hand. Inuyasha opened her eyes to see Kagome smiling at him.
"How are you feeling?" Inuyasha asked.
"I'm just fine, Inuyasha how long have you been here?" asked Kagome.
"Not very long. I heard that pretty soon they will be able to release you from the hospital."
"I can't wait."
Inuyasha smiled and gently placed kisses on her forehead and neck and slowly made it to her mouth and kissed her passionately. Kagome placed an arm around Inuyasha and his hand he gently began to run through her soft, raven black hair. Slowly Inuyasha pulled away from Kagome and smiled once again. Kagome let her hand fall back down to the bed.
"You don't have to worry anymore Kagome. It is all over," Inuyasha says soothingly, "now go back to sleep, and I'll talk to you later." Kagome slowly nodded and fell back to sleep. Inuyasha slowly pulled his hand out from her hair and smiles to himself.
"She really is beautiful when she sleeps," Inuyasha thought as he quietly walked out and closed the door behind him.
