Chapter 29:
"It's been over two days. Where is she?" Inuyasha said as he tapped his claws on the side of the well. "She said a couple of days! Aarrggghh!!!"
"Why don't you go get her?"
"Who asked you Miroku?"
"You are so impatient." Shippo sighed.
"Shut up!"
"You miss her, ne?"
"Bouzu!" He warned and Miroku backed up, giving him his space.
"Talk about Kagome withdrawl." Inuyasha grunted. "She must have a good reason for not coming back yet. Maybe you should go." Inuyasha, for the past days since she had left, felt an aching in his heart. He had a premonition something was wrong, but dismissed that idea figuring it was Kagome's dread of tests. Inuyasha could always sense her fears and sadness; it was his instincts and now that they had become intimate that sense had grown stronger. Tired of waiting, he leaped into the well. "I'm sure Kagome-sama misses him as well. I wonder what could possibly be wrong?" Inuyasha jumped out of the well and ran towards the house. He hopped up to her window and opened it, hoping to find her studying.
"Kagome? You here?" He sniffed the air, but only found a hint of her scent like she hadn't been there for awhile. "Kagome?" He called as he scurried around the house. Inuyasha got down on all fours and sniffed the ground. He crawled into the kitchen and came face to face with Buyo. "Ahhh!" He yelled in shock, "Oh it's only you." He petted the cat's head. As he got closer to the back door her scent grew stronger. Inuyasha followed it outside. "Where could she have gone? The house is empty." Inuyasha decided to see if he could find her in this maze of a city.
"Mrs. Higurashi is in a coma-like state right now. We don't know when she'll come to." Kagome, Souta, and her grandfather just bowed their heads. They had been there for nearly two days; but Souta and her grandfather had been there longer. Kagome had been crying; her eyes were puffy and red. 'If only I'd of been here to help.' She looked at the once cheerful rosy cheeked woman who was pale as the sheet that covered her. Her heart sank. She was hooked up to so many machines keeping her alive. Different colored tubes ran in and out of her body and the sound of her heart rate *beep* *beep* *beep*. Kagome was so thankful they didn't live in the Feudal Era.
Inuyasha stopped dead in front of the huge building. "Her scent stops here. Did she go inside? Should I go inside?" He opened the door; his nose was bombarded with thousands of strange scents. "Achoo!" He sneezed.
"Excuse me, sir?" A lady in white tapped his shoulder, "Do you need something?"
"Ano.is a Kagome Higurashi here?"
"Hai, she should be in room 107, at the end of that hall."
"Arigato." He walked down the hall; watching people pass on rolling beds and wheeled chairs. "What is she doing in a place like this?" Inuyasha reached the door and opened it slowly. "Ka-go-me?" He stuttered as he saw her mother's lifeless form on the strange bed.
"Inuyasha?" She got up and ran into his open arms, sobbing.
"Kagome, what happened?" He held onto the shaking girl.
"My mom.."
"Shhh.it's okay I'm here." He raked his fingers through her silky hair. "Now calm down and tell me what's going on." She led him to a chair and they both sat down; she never let go of his hand.
"She *sniffle* got in a car accident. She's in a coma. She's not waking up and they don't know if she will or not." Inuyasha was slightly lost.
"What's a car accident?" She smiled sadly at his question.
"You know those things that zoom down the rock paths, the roads?" He nodded, "Well you see my mom was in one of those when another one crashed into her."
"Oh, so they're like demons?"
"No, not exactly, demo you get the idea, ne?"
"Hai."
"I'm so glad you came."
"I thought you'd be angry."
"No, I missed you. I didn't want to leave."
"Really?"
"Absolutely, demo I'm glad I came because I would have never known about this." She sniffled. Souta and her grandfather had left the room as soon as Inuyasha had entered, knowing full well they needed to be alone. Kagome yawned.
"Have you slept at all?"
"No, I couldn't sleep." He put his arm around her and she leaned on his shoulder. Kagome closed her eyes; Inuyasha could hear her steady breathing which signaled she was asleep. He leaned his head on hers and slept as well. Inuyasha felt safe in this strange place because Kagome was by his side; she would always be by his side as would he.
