Chapter 22
Kagome put the phone back on its table and laid back on her bed and stared blankly at the ceiling. She wiped at her tear stained cheeks and sighed.
She sighed again and rolled over on her side.
Kagome could feel the beginnings of a head ache coming up. She sighed deeply and pushed herself into a sitting position. She brought her hands up and massaged her temples gently.
'I need some tylenol.' Kagome thought and stood. She wiped at her cheeks one more time before heading towards the hall way and began to walk down the stairs.
Kagome heard Inuyasha's muffled voice coming from the kitchen. She walked into the kitchen doorway and stopped dead in her tracts when Inuyasha's muffled voice finally reached her ears
"Why would I want kiss that wench? I don't love her and I never will!" She heard Inuyasha say angrily.
Each word Inuyasha said tore at Kagome's already tattered heart. She gasped and tears gathered once again in her eyes.
She watched as Inuyasha slowly turned around and stared at her.
There was some sort of emotion in his amber eyes that Kagome couldn't decipher.
"Kagome." She heard the silvered haird man whispered her name, making more tears gather in her eyes.
Kagome took a step backwards then suddenly whirled around and ran to the front door.
Kagome heard Inuyasha running after her so she ran faster. She pushed the front door open and ran out towards the road.
"Kagome!" She heard Inuyasha yell at her, but she didn't slow or even glance back. She couldn't glance back because she knew if she did she would see the truth in his eyes, the truth that he didn't care for her.
Kagome ran down the road, the only sound were her shoes hitting the concrete.
Dark clouds were slowly gathering in the sky over head and a light drizzle began.
Kagome slowed from a run to a jog, to a walk and finally she stopped, her hands on her knees and panting slightly.
She fell to her knees and pounded her hands into the road as the tears that she had been fighting since she ran out of Inuyasha's finally fell down her cheeks, mixing with the rain water.
"Why does it hurt so much?" She sobbed and pounded her hands into the concrete road again. Her hands were being scratched raw from the roughness of the road, but she hardly noticed. The pain in her heart was to great for her to noticed any physical pain.
The rain was really starting to pour down now, but she paid no attention to it as it quickly soaked her clothes and plastered her hair to her face.
Kagome sniffled and pushed herself into a standing position and began to walk down the deserted road, staring blankly at the at the ground under her feet as her tears coursed down her face.
The sky darkened from dreary grey to pitch black and still it rained down on the lone figure walking down the road.
Kagome finally glanced up and noticed that she was on the outside of the town. She continued walking, letting her feet lead her to where ever.
She had been walking for hours and she hadn't even realized it.
Kagome slowed to a stop and she glanced up where she had stopped.
She was standing in front of a large building. 'The hospital.' She thought as she glanced at the dark windows.
Kagome pushed open the door and walked into the waiting area. She walked down the hallways, her tears finally slowing to a stop.
She found herself standing outside the childrens ward and she stopped in the doorway, her sopping wet clothes dripping and making a puddle on the floor.
She stared into the ward and watched the sleeping Shippo.
Her eyes became unfocused as she began to think. 'I can't stay here and I can't go back to Inuyasha's.' She as she held back a sob. Just thinking about Inuyasha tore at Kagome's heart.
'So where do I go?' She thought as a her eyes watered again for the umteenth time that day.
She shook her head violently and wiped at her eyes. 'I refuse to cry anymore.' She thought and rubbing her eyes. Her eyes were dry and stinging from all the crying she had done that day.
She made her way into the ward and walked over to Shippo's bed and sat on the chair that was by the young boys bed.
Shippo was clutching his stuffed fox that Kagome had gotten him what seemed like an eternity now, to his chest.
Kagome felt a small smile tug at the corner of her lips at the sight of the small child.
Kagome reached out a hand and gently brushed the bangs out of Shippo's face.
Shippo's forest green eyes slowly fluttered open and stared into Kagome's wet, tear stained face. "Kagome?" He asked in a sleepy sounding voice.
Kagome smiled sadly at the small boy. "Hi, Shippo." She replied.
Shippo's face broke into a broad smile and he jumped up in his bed and wrapped his arms around Kagome's neck. "Kagome, why are you all wet?" Shippo asked and pulled back and looked at Kagome's sopping wet form.
"I just got stuck in the rain." Kagome replied to the childs question.
Shippo looked out the window and listened to the rain as it beat against the window across the ward. "How come you came to visit me while its dark outside?" Shippo asked and turned bright green eyes back to her.
Kagome gently picked up the boy and sat him on her lap. "Shippo, I came to tell you that I have to go away for a little while." Kagome started, her voice catching slightly in her throat.
Shippo cocked his head back so he could look Kagome in her face. "For how long?" He asked.
Kagome glanced away. "I don't know, Shippo. Untill I can figure some things out, I guess." She said, her voice barely above a whisper.
"But you will come back for me, right?" Shippo asked, his voice slightly fearful.
Kagome turned her gaze back on to the child. "Of course I'll come back for you, Shippo. Why wouldn't I?" She asked and hugged him to her chest in a motherly fashion.
Shippo returned the embrace and squeezed tightly. "Cause my mama and papa didn't come back." He replied in a small voice.
Kagome tightened her grip on him. "I promise I'll come back, Shippo." She said and kissed the top of his head.
Shippo pulled back slightly and held out his hand, his pinky extended. "You pinky promise?" He asked.
Kagome smiled, a true smile and linked her pinky with the childs. "I pinky promise, Shippo." She said.
Kagome squeezed Shippo then sat him back on his hospital bed. "I have to go now, Shippo. Be good, okay?" She asked as she handed Shippo his stuffed fox.
Shippo nodded and sniffled a little. "Okay. I'll miss you, Kagome." He said.
Kagome's softened as she looked at the little boy she had grown to think of as a son. "I'll miss you, too, Shippo." She said and leaned forward and kiss him on his forehead.
She straightened and walked towards the door. She turned and looked at him one more time. "I promise I'll come back for you, Shippo." She whispered and walked out of the childrens ward.
"Oh, hello, Kagome. I thought I was the only one on this floor." A voice said behind Kagome.
Kagome turned to see the nurse, Rin, sitting behind the counter.
Kagome forced a smile. "I just came to see Shippo." She repleid.
Rin nodded and smiled. "He's very fond of you. He's always talking about you." Rin said with a warm smile gracing her face.
Kagome returned the smile, though it was forced, and walked towards the exit.
"Goodbye, Kagome." Rin called cheerfully after the girl.
"Goodbye." Kagome said quietly.
Kagome walked out of the hospital and accidentally banged her burnt arm on the automatic doors.
"Ow!" She cried and winched in pain. The bandages were soaked through and were just barely sticking to her arm.
Kagome pushed her pain aside and continued walking down the road in the heavy rain.
Kagome felt another jolt of pain go through her arm, but this time she welcomed it, letting it wash over her so she didn't have to think about Inuyasha.
So distracted was Kagome trying to push her painful memories of that day out of her mind that she didn't hear or see the black sedan pull up next to her untill she heard a voice speak.
"You know, its dangerous to be walking in the dark and in a storm all by yourself?" A deep voice said from the car.
Kagome jumped in surprise and turn to the car. She couldn't see the speaker because the inside of the car was shrouded in blackness.
Kagome continued walking, trying to ignore the car as it followed her. "You will catch a cold if you keep walking in weather like this." The voice stated.
The voice sounded slightly familiar, but Kagome could place it. "I don't really care." She replied and quickened her pace.
The care followed her. "Get in." The voice commanded.
Kagome simply shook her head and began to run.
"I said get in!" The voice ordered and sped up.
"No!" Kagome cried and and ran as fast as she could.
The car sped up again and suddenly, the driver pushed his car door open and hit Kagome with it, making her fall to the ground and roll slightly.
The car stopped and a figure stepped out.
Kagome had hit her head when she fell to the ground and was beginning to loose consciousness. The last thing she saw before total blackness took over her world was a pair of blood red eyes.
**
Shippo ran to his window and watched Kagome as she slowly began to walk. He watched as the car pulled up next to her and she was trying to get away. He watched in horror when the car door hit Kagome and she fell to the ground
"Kagome!" Shippo cried as the strange man picked Kagome up and placed her in the back seat of its car.
The strange man got back into the car and turned around and Shippo just caught what te licence plate said.
It read 'EVIL' in big bold lettering.
He saw the car turn down a street right behind the hospital and disappeared from sight.
'What do I do, what do I do, what do I do?' Shippo wondered as he tried desperately not to panic.
"I know!" He cried and ran over to his bed. He reached under a pillow and pulled out a small peice of paper with writting on it.
It was Inuyasha's phone number. Kagome had given it to hime the day she left the hospital so that if Shippo ever wanted to talk to her all he had to do was call.
Shippo ran over to the phone that was in a ward and pushed a small stool then climbed up on it and took the phone in his small hands and dialed Inuyasha's phone number. 'He'll know what to do!' Shippe thought as he listened to the ringing of the phone.
