Chapter 9
Inuyasha notices that Kagome is extremely quiet this morning. She didn't come in the house like she usually would, she just sat in the car, seemingly lost in her own thought.
'Eh, what did that Kouga jerk do to her?' Inuyasha makes a mental note that if Kagome continues to act this way, he better check with her boyfriend.
When he gets into the car, Kagome only raises her head, and nods at him slightly, then goes right back into whatever she was doing.
'This is so not like Kagome, she is always cheerful.' Inuyasha doesn't know it, but he is starting to freak out.
They ride to school in the deadly silence.
Inuyasha decides he needs to stay at his friend's side today. There is definitely something wrong with Kagome.
"Kagome, what's up with you today?" Inuyasha asks right the moment they settle down in the classroom.
Kagome only shakes her head slowly. She can still tastes the kiss with Sesshoumaru from last night, it's so sweet, but all seems wrong. Why is Sesshoumaru doing this? Just to play with her? But he looked so shaken when she pulls away, Kagome thought she could see desire in his deep golden eyes. Unlike his younger brother, Sesshoumaru is so much older than her, so mature and complex, Kagome would never dare to guess what he is thinking.
"Kagome, would you say something?!" Her thought is disturbed by Inuyasha's powerful shake, "Come on, talk to me!" She picks up her head, and sees a very pissed Inuyasha.
"I'm ok, just a little sleepy." Kagome doesn't know what else to tell him.
Inuyasha doesn't seem to be believing a word she said, but knowing he won't get anything else out of her, he turns around, and sit straight in his chair.
The morning passes by, the lunch bell rings. Still remaining at Kagome's side, Inuyasha carefully looks over the depressed girl.
"Kagome, tell me, what happened? Did that Kouga do anything to you?" Inuyasha is suddenly not hungry anymore.
Shaking her perfect head again, Kagome tries to force herself eat something. But so much is on her mind, that there's no doubt that she would throw up is she eats anything. She doesn't know if she should tell Inuyasha, or if he will understand all that. He will be surprised, and knowing Inuyasha for so long, he will also be furious.
"I'm sorry, Inuyasha." Kagome says.
"It's not time to say sorry, you idiot, you need to tell me what on earth is wrong with you, so I can help you!" Inuyasha is raising his voice.
"Well." Kagome starts.
"Inu." The loud speaker is saying something, but it's quickly interrupted.
"Inuyasha, Kagome, get to my car!" It's Kagome's mom's panicked voice.
Surprised, the two of them just stares at each other for the moment. Having waken up first, Inuyasha quickly takes Kagome's hand and races for the spot where Kagome's mom always drops them off.
"What happened, Inuyasha!" Kagome is hysterical at the shock.
"Shut up, I don't know!" A billons of possible situation fly through Inuyasha's mind. 'What is going on!'
Mrs. Higurashi isn't so much help either. Tears run all across her face, she can't seem to talk anymore. After stuffing the two panicked teens into the car, she drives off with the highest speed.
Putting an arm around Kagome, Inuyasha slowly calms down despite the high speed they are moving.
"What's going on, Mrs. Higurashi?" Inuyasha asks in the calmest voice he can fake.
"Oh, I'm so sorry..I just got.a call, it's Sesshoumaru.." Mrs. Higurashi says as she pulls the car to a sudden stop with one hand, the other hand wiping away tears.
"Sess..houmaru?" Kagome asks. 'No, don't let anything bad happen to him!'
The next thing they know, they are beside the bed Sesshoumaru is lying on. The doctor is telling them what happened, but Kagome can't make out anything.
"Obviously, he ran into some car in a pretty high speed, and he's thrown out of the car, the outer injuries aren't as bad as they can be, but his brain is shaken violently. I give him three days, but if he doesn't wake up then, there is nothing we can do." The doctor's eyes saddened, he has to see so many lives being taken everyday, at the moment like this, he regrets his career choice greatly. The young man is so young, and he might not get to see the world again.
"I am sorry, there is one more thing, he is calling someone's name, it sounds like 'Kagomi' or something, do you know who that is?" The doctor asks.
"Kagome? Are you sure?" All four people ask in one voice. Why was Sesshoumaru calling for Kagome?
'Maybe.he really cared for me.' Kagome's heart skips.
"I am Kagome." She says in a unsure voice.
"Miss. Kagome, we think it's a good idea for you and the rest of his family to talk to him, that might work." The four of them nod in unison. None of them could make out exactly what happened. It all happened so fast. First Mr. Inuki got a call at work to the hospital, he calls Mrs. Higurashi to pick up the kids. And now they all see Sesshoumaru just lies there, lifeless, his handsome face seems so peaceful that it scares all of them. There isn't even any scars on his face, his arm is broken, that is about the worst injury he has. But he may not open his golden eyes again.
Kagome's heart twists, she can only ask, 'Why..'
