Chapter 17

Midnight Blood

~*--*~

"Inuyasha..." Kagome cried and bolted up. Sango and Miroku ran into her room.

"Kagome are you alright?" Sango asked.

"Where is he?" Kagome asked.

"Where is who?" Miroku asked.

"Don't you dare play dumb with me! You know perfectly well who I'm talking about." Kagome yelled. Her friends inched away and quickly replied.

"We don't know what happened to Inuyasha." The said truthfully.

Kagome's heart started to beat rapidly. She was scared. She started getting out of her bed but her friends held her down. "Let me go." Death evident in her voice. Her friends backed away knowing there was no stopping her. Kagome walked out of the room and headed toward the information desk.

"Excuse me," Kagome said in her sweetest voice. The desk lady turned around to face Kagome. "Could you tell me where Inuyasha is located?" the woman at on the other side of the desk typed something into the computer.

"I'm sorry there doesn't seem to be anyone by the name of Inuyasha in the hospital at this time." Kagome tried again.

"He has silver hair about to his waist, dog ears on the top of his head."

"I'm sorry Miss but I don't know of anyone who fits that description." Kagome had lost it by now she knew Inuyasha was there someplace.

"TELL ME WHERE THE HELL HE IS LOCATED." Kagome slammed her hands on the desk. She could feel people staring at her from all directions, she didn't care, she wanted to find Inuyasha.

"Miss even if I did know where he is I couldn't tell you. Only immediate family members could see him." Kagome had really had enough of this woman's shit.

"I'm his fricking wife! Tell me where the hell he is."

"I'm sorry but our policy states that-"

"I don't shitting care what your policy states. I want to know where he is and I want to know NQW!" Kagome was far beyond yelling. She turned back to her room.

"Miroku do you have and cash on you?" She asked with a false sweetness returned to her voice.

"Yeah, what do you need it for?" Miroku took his wallet out of his pocket. Kagome snatched it out of his hands before he could open it.

"Thanks." She said as she pulled out all his cash. She walked out of the room and back to the information desk again.

"I'm sorry I don't think you heard me correctly the first ten times. Let this refresh your hearing." Kagome threw down the $187 dollars onto the desk.

The deck lady looked at the money thrown in front of her. "Room 666." She said. Kagome ran down the hall before she could hear anything else the woman had to say. She was desperately looking for the room.

'Room 666, room 666.' She kept repeating in her head. She turned a corner and saw the numbers as clear as day. '666' was written on a plaque on the door. 'Bingo!' Kagome thought, she pushed open the door.

Inuyasha was sitting up yelling at a nurse who looked like she was trying to give him a shot of some kind. "I don't need anything. I'm fine really." The nurse wouldn't listen.

"Inuyasha." Kagome whispered. Inuyasha immediately recognized Kagome's voice. He turned around. "Kagome?"

The nurse took the opportunity to gab the needle into Inuyasha's skin and inject what ever liquid was in the tube. "Ouch!" Inuyasha screamed.

A tear rolled down Kagome's cheek. She just kept looking at Inuyasha. Inuyasha smelt the salt from Kagome's tears and looked out toward her again. "Oi, Kagome what's wrong?"

Kagome shook her head not able to say anything. Inuyasha walked over toward her once the needle was taken out of his arm. He lifted her chin so he could see her face. "Why such a sad face Kagome?" Kagome shook her head again. Not trusting her voice.

Suddenly her knees gave out on her and she started falling to the ground. Inuyasha caught her mid way. "Kagome?" He asked.

She just gave him a weak smile. "I had to see you again." She said softly. Then everything when black.

~*--*~

"What the hell do you mean?" Inuyasha yelled at the doctor who was trying to calm him down.

"I'm just saying that Kagome has suffered from exhaustion and a minor concussion, nothing to be worried about." The doctor said in a calm voice hoping that Inuyasha would calm down. But of course it didn't work.

Inuyasha grabbed the doctor by the collar. "Tell why the hell this happened. NOW!" Inuyasha growled in front of the doctor's face.

"Over stress from the days, activities." The man quavered.

Inuyasha dropped the doctor's collar. "Bull shit." Inuyasha walked away to go into Kagome's room.

~*--*~

Kagome was awake when Inuyasha entered the room. He glared at his friends who were standing next to her bed. The quickly got the message and left the hanyo with Kagome.

Kagome gave Inuyasha a weak smile. "Thank you." She said softly.

Inuyasha shook his head and walked over to her. He took one of her hands in his rough ones. "No, I should be the one who should say that." Inuyasha whispered. "You're the one who saved my life. Not me saving yours."

Kagome looked dumbfounded for a moment then regained herself. She smiled and nodded slightly. "Your welcome." She said.

It was Inuyasha's turn to be dumbfounded. "Is that all that your going to say? 'Your welcome?' couldn't you have at least said something like, 'No really Inuyasha I'm the one to thank you for saving my sorry little ass.'" Inuyasha asked a little anger in his voice.

Kagome decided to play along with Inuyasha's little scene. "Thank you your highness for saving my poor sorry big ass." Kagome said in a mocked formal accent.

Inuyasha just sneered at her. "Hahaha, very funny."

Kagome just looked at him with laughter in her eyes. Inuyasha looked at her and caught them. Memories coming back to him from when they were together in Junior High.

~*--*~

"So, Kagome."

"Mmm?" Kagome was daydreaming.

"If you could have anything in the world, what would it be?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome looked at him in surprise.

"What do you mean?"

"What have you always wanted?"

Kagome thought about this a while. 'Why is he asking me this? Well, I don't know I suppose...' "I've always wanted to be kissed. Not just a normal kiss, I want to have a loving passionate kiss." Kagome said and she turned 3 shades of red.

'Something money can't buy. Great, what am I suppose to do now. Oh well, I'll...' He never finished.

~*--*~

"Inuyasha?" Inuyasha looked up at Kagome. "Do you remember me?" Inuyasha looked at Kagome like she was weird.

"No." He said bluntly.

"Will this make you remember?" Kagome said and pushed the bowel of pudding onto Inuyasha's face.

"What did you do that for?"

"For lying to me."

"What do you mean lying to you. I don't even know you." Inuyasha was confused.

"You're just like you used to be Inuyasha."

"How can you talk to me like you personally know me?"

"Take a good long look Inuyasha. Don't you remember? Three years ago, Junior High, at a restaurant."

Inuyasha looked at Kagome and thought about what she said. 'Three years ago, a restaurant. It can't be. . .'

"Inuyasha, you are so dumb. You may have cash unlimited but you don't have a memory." Kagome said and walked away.

"Kagome wait." Kagome stopped cold. 'What did he just say? He didn't, he didn't.' Kagome thought. A hand laid on her shoulder. Kagome turned around to face Inuyasha. He had pudding all over his face.

"I thought I already told you I never wanted to see you again." Kagome said. "Why did you come here?"

~*--*~

'How could I have been so dumb?' Inuyasha thought to himself. 'How could I not have seen it before?'

"I'm sorry Kagome." Kagome was confused.

"What are you talking about Inuyasha?" She still kept a smile on her face.

"For everything I ever did to you. I was such a jerk, and I finally realize it."

"You just figured that out after 5 years?" Kagome asked.

"Would you shut up. I wasn't done yet." Kagome giggled a bit. "And yes I just realized how big of a jerk I was. But could we start over?"

Kagome was really surprised now. 'Did he just say what I think he said?' She nodded.

"Kagome remember when I asked you what you wanted more then anything in the world?" Kagome had a look of thought on her face. Then she nodded. Inuyasha leaned down. His lips closing over Kagome's. The sweet taste of her lips. He pulled away slowly from her.

"I love you Kagome." What the last thing she heard before she silently fell asleep. Her dreams filled with joy and love. This was Kagome's life. Kagome and Inuyasha's story.
