Be True To Me
Chapter 9: Revelation
"Excuse me sir" a nurse said gently shaking Sesshoumaru's shoulder.
He groaned and opened his eyes. He stood up and faced the nurse.
"Yes?"
"Sir, Dr.Hajimata would like to see you in his office." She said and went to tend to Kagome's shoulder.
- Inside the office -
"Excuse me Mr. -"
"Fujitaka" Sesshoumaru curtly answered.
"Of what relation do you have to Miss Higurashi?"
"I am. . . her cousin" he lied
"Ah. That is good then. Now are her other family members going to come in anytime soon?"
"I'm not sure. I left a message"
"Well. . since this is very important and the only family member around is you, I will entrust you with this information, but first, a few questions."
"Go on"
"Has Miss Higurashi ever complained of . . .chest pains?"
"No"
"Trouble breathing?" the doctor asked again.
"..no" Sesshoumaru answered getting worried.
"Has she ever collapsed?"
Sesshoumaru opened his mouth to answer 'I don't think so' but instead "Cut the bull! What's wrong with her?" seemed to come out.
The doctor's eyes widened a little at Sesshoumaru's response, but he seemed use to it already.
"Well, Mr. Fujitaka, Miss Higurashi seems to. . . be diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension"
"Pulmonary hypertension?" Sesshoumaru asked hesitantly.
"Yes. Pulmonary hypertension. It is very rare. Only around 2 out of a million people get it. It is a rare blood vessel disorder of the lung in which the pressure in the pulmonary artery rises above normal levels and may become life threatening. I suggest that you put Miss Higurashi on treatment right away."
"I- is-" Sesshoumaru cleared his throat and said "Is she going to die?"
"There is a possibility"
"Is there a cure doctor?" Sesshoumaru asked getting worried on the inside but wearing his stoic mask.
"No"
"Find a cure" Sesshoumaru commanded.
"It's not po-" the doctor started but was cut off.
"Whatever the price"
The doctor started again as if he had never heard Sesshoumaru.
"As I was saying Mr.Fujitaka, there is no cure available right now. Medical researchers are currently working on finding one."
"How long does she have?" Sesshoumaru asked in a deadly serious voice.
"At most. . . 2 years"
"2 years?" Sesshoumaru repeated.
"Yes. She would have an average of 20 more years to live. . . but it seems that Miss Higurashi has another problem."
"What do you mean another problem?" he asked in a tense voice.
"She also seems to have a weak heart. It cuts down the chance of living. In her condition, it cuts it down a lot"
"Can't she just get a heart transplant?"
"Unfortunately. . no. Pulmonary hypertension can lead to heart failure. Miss Higurashi's heart is too weak to have surgery, and if we do perform surgery, it would take too long. She would be dead by the time we finish."
". . . Put her on treatment right away."
"We will start giving her treatments, but we need her parent or guardian's approval for it to continue."
"Thank you" Sesshoumaru said and abruptly stood up. He briskly walked back to the private room he had assigned for Kagome to be in and sat down next to her bed. He held her hand and watched her sleep.
"Kagome. . .you're. . . you're my angel. You can't . . . leave me. Because of this Inuyasha thing I've gotten to know you. True it was stupid and childish, but it turned my whole world upside down. We've only been on what? Three dates? I have barely known you but it seems like I've known you forever. You. . . made my life worth living. You were the one that sacrificed yourself so that I would be living right now. During the short time that I've known you. . I think that I maybe fell in - "
Kagome's eyes fluttered opened as she stared at me. Her warm chocolate brown eyes were still a bit drowsy looking but she seemed surprised to see me there. She yawned and smiled.
"Hi Fluffers!" she looked around and looked at me. "Where are we?"
"You. . don't remember?" I asked her.
"Remember what?" she asked.
". . . Yesterday night?"
After a while she voiced out "Ooh" and looked at her shoulder where the bandages were making her shoulder bulk out. She grimaced and looked the other way.
Kagome's POV
'What . . .did you say before Sesshoumaru? That. . . you. . . maybe. . . loved. . me?'
