Inuyasha paced back and forth across the waiting room floor, biting his incredibly long nail and regretting ever losing connection with Kagome. He had figured that the least he could do was be here for her even though Miroku thought it was dumb and only stayed because Sango was there. She had helped him though so much especially his mother's death and all those problems with his brother and father.
"You may come in now, she's awake, but not too many people. How about two at a time?" The nurse said as she stuck her head outside of the door. They agreed that Sota didn't count and her mother and grandfather and Sota could go in at once. Then Inuyasha and then Miroku and Sango. Waiting for her family to leave the room so he could have time alone seemed like and eternity even if it was only ten minutes. Those ten minutes had seemed like the longest ever in his life. Finally they emerged and gave him an encouraging smile as he passed by them and into the room.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha whispered as he looked over her when he got to the side of her bed. He took her hand in his minding the tubes and his long, raw nails. Kagome's eyes fluttered open as she saw who was before her.
"Inuyasha," She breathed. "I'm glad you came,"
"Of course I came! Why wouldn't I have?" He asked indignantly.
"We haven't talked in a while," She said matter-of-factly. Inuyasha didn't know what to say next, he decided to tell her that his time was up and he left. Miroku came in next with Sango following him.
"Hi Kagome," Miroku said in a warm comforting voice. "I'm sorry about how we acted the other night, I don't know what came over us."
"It's ok Miroku, I understand," She looked over at her red-eyed best friend. "What wrong with you?"
"Oh Kagome!" Sango wailed before flinging herself over Kagome.
"Sango! Watch out for the wires!" Sango backed off and gave her best friend a sad smile. "The doctor check me over and said it was just a spasm. I'm back to normal and I can leave whenever."
"Let's leave now!" Miroku said. It hadn't been until she freaked out on him after he walked in on her when she was showering and had gotten beat up that he realized how much he had missed her companionship.
"Okay!" She yelled as she jumped up out of the bed, did a couple of front flips to the door and ran out and into her mother's open arms. Miroku coyly slid his hand into Sango's and was surprised to not be slapped in return. When they walked out only Inuyasha seemed to notice.
******************************Back at the House**************************
"So I think we should be going now, don't you Miroku?" Inuyasha said as he nudged Miroku's side to give him the hint that perhaps they had worn out their welcome here long ago.
"No, why do you feel that we must go?" Miroku asked somewhat confused. The day had been going somewhat nice except when he walked in on Kagome but that was old news by now!
"Don't you remember what I promised my father last night? What Sesshomaru told us?!" Why did his friend have to be so naïve at times and yet smarted than him all the rest?
"We didn't go home last nigh Inu- OH! Yeah! We do have to go!" Miroku said quite obviously. "So sorry ladies but we really must part now!"
And with that Kagome got up real quick and started to check Miroku's hair before they left.
"Kagome? Uh, what are you doing?" They really needed to go and didn't need Kagome filtering through his hair like a monkey looking for fleas to eat!
"Just checking to make sure you weren't a blonde!" Kagome replied with a smile and a past to the top of his head. Inuyasha waited a second to make sure they had no other business here and that no one objected to their leaving so suddenly.
"So how about it baby?" Inuyasha said trying to hide his drunkenness as he tried to get unsuspecting blonde to be with him for the night. All he could think about was Kagome, which wasn't helping much for he knew that girls hated it when you forgot their names.
"I don't know…I don't really know you," The girl said uncertainly, she had been used like this by Miroku before and thought she knew all the tricks.
"Come on, why not?" Inuyasha pressed on; if the girl wasn't going to let him then he needed to move on to someone else before the night was over. Miroku already had his girl and was making out with her in the corner where he usually went when Inuyasha threw a party. He was usually the one done first, not Miroku. Inuyasha went to look and see whom it was and sure enough he was making out Sango. She sure forgave and forgot fats.
"So, is that a yes or a no- where'd you go?" Inuyasha said as he saw he so called 'date' leave for the ladies room. He quickly scanned the room for his next victim when his eyes laid upon the last person that he though he would see at one of his parties. Kagome. He decided to saunter up to her and see what had her here.
"Sango make you come?" Inuyasha whispered in her ear, making her jump.
"What? Oh, yeah. I wouldn't be caught dead at on of your parties. I know what you guys throw them for!" Kagome said indignantly.
"Yet you are here, you could have stayed home. You didn't have to come with Sango. She's not hanging out with you anyway," Inuyasha pointed out.
"Yeah, but- Well- you see," He got her. Kagome didn't want to tell him the real reason she was here.
"You came here to see me didn't you?" Inuyasha asked as he leaned in closed, closing the gap as huge as the Grand Canyon that Kagome had between them.
"NO! Since when are you so self centered and think that everyone wants to be with you when they don't!" Kagome screamed at him as she hit him with her purse and flew out the door with tears streaming down her cheeks.
"You only say that because you're afraid that you do want to be with me, even if everyone else doesn't," Inuyasha said to himself as he realized that he had genuine feelings for her too. Not lust for one night's pleasure but possibly love, forever.
Kagome ran all the way home, she probably would have gotten hit by some car or something if she hadn't found and remembered the short cut she used to take all those years ago. When they were kids Inuyasha was always right in the sense about feelings. She guessed that since he didn't share his feelings and knew how to hide them he could figure out everyone else's. He was especially good at figuring hers out.
"Why does he have to be so damn," Kagome asked herself as she fling her pillow around the room before picking it up and curling up with it on her bed. "–So damn- so damn easy to fall in love with?" So rolled over on her other side to face the wall and cried herself to sleep with a few last thoughts about Inuyasha. I can't be falling in love with him. I just can't. I couldn't before because it would have ruined our friendship and I just can't now because it would ruin everything, my reputation, and my life. Just everything. I have to do everything possible to stay away from him or I might just do the one thing… the one thing …that would ruin…everything… Kagome thought before falling fast asleep, her tears were dry but that didn't mean that there wasn't any more to be shed.
A/n: ok maybe I was wrong in my last authors note I think I do have a feel for where this is going…it may change to angst/drama/romance soon I may cut out a lot of humor..so I think ill post again in two weeks tops! Whoo hoo for me! It looks like this fic is saved! Lol!
