Disclaimer: No, don't own Inuyasha…

AN: Thanks for reading my story! I feel special and I've noticed I've seen very familiar names that have practically read all of my fanfics! Thanx! And sorry about the typos… I just type and ignore the squiggly red lines. Lol! And also… my Microsoft Word is being gay so I have to use regular WordPad… Well, enjoy!

"Okay, just take a few steps towards me…" Miroku held onto a clipboard with the other hand holding onto a pen as he examined Kagome. She took two steps. "Yeah, that's it. Now turn the other direction." Kagome looked at him. "I just want to see if you can turn, not look at your butt." He blushed.

Kagome turned and walked to the door and turned around walking to him again. She was doing okay and looked like she can walk pretty much okay and had the permission to get out of her bed and walk around the hospital when she wanted to.

"Just don't walk a lot, okay? Don't want you to end up somewhere where no one is around. You just keep this with you and feel free to do what you want." He dug into his pockets and took out some kind of device with a little green arrow in the middle. "It's like a pen but really it's a contactor. If you manage to have something wrong with you, you push this baby like there was no tomorrow and I'll be right there in no time or anyone that is near."

Kagome nodded taking the pen looking object.

"Well, see you around, Kagome." He patted her shoulder and left the room. Kagome sighed and walked to the window and stared outside. Few birds flew by and an airplane drawing words in the air.

Kagome was a little happy that she could finally start walking but nowhere fun, though. Darn.

She walked out the door in her hospital uniform. This huge hospital shirt and a pair of jeans and also was barefooted. Not much of a uniform but oh well, who's judging fashion?

"Good evening, Miss Higurashi." One of the nurses passed by and spotted Kagome. "How are you?"

"I'm fine," Kagome smiled. "By any chance… Have you seen Inuyasha?"

"Inuyasha?" she thought for a second. "Oh yes. He's off today."

"Oh yeah, that's right… He told me that."

"But… I thought he wasn't aloud to see you?"

"I'm really not caring, please don't tell anyone I asked for him?" Kagome smiled as the nurse nodded and walked away.

Kagome explored her floor some more. And had her hands behind her back as she was just browsing.

"Well, well, what are the odds seeing you here, Kagome."

Kagome whipped around seeing one of her fellow classmates staring at her with a smile. "Hojo!"

He laughed and walked to her, "I was just going to visit you! Thank God I caught you here, huh?"

"Yup."

"Well, I brought this for you." He handed her a bag as she opened it and found a Q&A black t-shirt with a little heart at the left side.

"Aw, Hojo, thank you!" Kagome raised her hands and wrapped it around his neck as he wrapped his around her waist and patted her back.

"It's just so good to see you, Kagome. You look great."

Kagome blushed. "I probably look horrible! I don't have a brush, I just had to have my hair in a ponytail and every time I would wake up in the morning, it's messed up."

"It looks fine to me."

"That's because you're sweet like that…" They both smiled at each other.

"Well, I guess I'll be seeing you next time? I got to be working in half an hour."

"Okay, bye, Hojo."

"See ya!"

And with that Hojo was gone with a huge smile on his face.

Kagome laughed as she kept on moving.

¤¤¤

Her family came in the visit that day as if was an every day daily routine. She and her mother didn't say much about what had happened yesterday. They basically ignored each other and probably won't talk to each other for a while. Sota made her a Get Well card and her grandfather gave her a shriveled up hand that Kagome didn't seem to like and thought it was weird of him giving her a hand.

As they left Kagome sat there on her bed thinking of Inuyasha.

"Visiting hours will be up in an hour…" she gazed to her right staring out the window. She sighed and laid down shifting on her side and also put a hand under cheek. "Where is he?"

¤¤¤

Kagome looked over at her clock.

"One minute and visiting hours are done…" Kagome turned on her back facing up the ceiling and her arm across her forehead.

Great… He stood her up. Wait. This wasn't even a date so what was Kagome soaking about? Inuyasha was just a teenager who has a life to be in and Kagome didn't want to bother him. Maybe he has something else to do. Maybe visit someone else and couldn't get out of the room just to see her. Or maybe he was out with his girlfriend?

Does he even have one? Kagome couldn't see why not. He was a young and attractive good-looking guy. Good sense of humor and a great personality. But the only things that ever bothered him were that he had a past and didn't like it. Who doesn't? Everyone has a past and didn't like it.

Could that be the reason why he didn't show up today? Because she talked to him about his past? He did act a little weird afterwards but it was something that Kagome felt to see him more not less.

"And I just met the guy…" Kagome bent a knee and placed a hand on it. Something flopped to her side, the CD player.

That made her think about him again. He did say it was his excuse to see her, and it was to get his player.

What? Was he playing her? Was he just leading her on? Kagome didn't know what lead her on to even think of this but still. He could have. That just brought raging thoughts to her mind. Maybe he was being nice and then he didn't like her anymore and hoping that she would forget about him. Or worse. Cry for him.

"That creep! He's ganna pay!" Kagome yelled.

"Who?"

Kagome whipped her head at the door. Her feelings of anger and death for Inuyasha erased, as he was right there by the door.

He had on a black hooded jacket with his hands in the front pocket and dark denim jeans and black etnies. He, in Kagome's mind, was hot.

"Sorry, I didn't come sooner…" He walked over to her pulling a chair for him to sit down.

"Well," Kagome started off slow. "Visiting hours is kind of over…"

"Yeah, I kind of got that." He laughed but Kagome didn't find it funny. He cleared his throat, as he was the only one laughing. "Well, anyways, I was able to come and Miroku was kind enough and let me in."

"You two seem to be really good friends…" Kagome raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, we're really good friends, actually. He got me to work here. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't of met you…" Kagome got a little excited inside but kept a straight face. "He even told me that you were able to walk."

"Of course I can walk. I was never limped from the beginning Inuyasha."

"I know and that's why I'm taking you out."

"Out? Out where?" Kagome sat up, her legs dangling on the side nearly in between Inuyasha's legs. He put both his hands on her ankles feeling a vibe.

"Don't get worked up about going 'out' you know what I mean when I say out."

"But I can't leave the hospital grounds. I'd get in trouble wouldn't I? And do you know how mad my mo-"

"Ah, I wanted to take you out like on a date or something! Not ravish you or anything!" He put his hands up in defense. She was speaking so fast he nearly didn't catch anything she was saying. Kagome laughed and leaned over to pat his shoulders.

"Oh, a date! That's a total complete different story!" Kagome smiled.

"Good. So you'll go?"

"Sure!" Kagome hopped off the bed. "Wait. Won't that just get you in trouble for taking me out?"

"What? Did you forget that I'm a friend of your doctor?" He put a hand on her back as he opened the door for her. Kagome just nodded and before she could walk out she was staring into dark violet eyes.And there stood Miroku with a hint of blush on his cheeks.

"Were you listening?" Inuyasha asked.

"Me? No." he let out a breath.

Inuyasha and Kagome raised an eyebrow as Dr Houshi still having this huge smile on his face.

"Right." Kagome walked out as Miroku stood by the side letting them both out.

¤¤¤

As they stood outside to the side of the hospital by Inuyasha's car Kagome was all ready inside all buckled in. She looked to her side as Miroku and Inuyasha were talking, she couldn't make out what they were saying. Not even reading their lips.

"You better watch out for her…" Miroku put on a straight face. "If I find out that something bad happened your life will be on it by me."

"Miroku, you know I'd never put her in danger…" Inuyasha groaned as he pressed weight on his left leg. "She's a normal girl who needs to have a little fun."

"Normal?!" Miroku questioned. "Kagome is a girl for that matter of fact but she isn't normal. She has heart conditions, Inuyasha."

"Way to lighten things up… You may be a doctor but I know in my eyes she has a perfect heart." Inuyasha walked over to the driver side. "Now, if you'll excuse me… I have someone who is more important to entertain than this…" he opened the door and went in. Miroku whispered for only him to hear, "Nothing too entertaining or she'll just have a heart attack…" he turned walking around the corner.

Inuyasha's ears dropped. How could Miroku be so cold?

"What were you guys talking about?"

He stiffened and started the car. "Nothing…"

"Oh…" Kagome rolled down the window and sucked in the fresh air. "So, we're we going? Is it something romantic? Or something scary? If it's scary, you can just stop and leave me here."

Inuyasha laughed, "I think it's something romantic but then again no one will be there."

"What do you mean no one will be there? This is scary and it's not sounding too romantic either…"

He laughed again, "You worry too much… We're here anyways…" He got out and ran to her side and opened the door. "Just give me a minute to get something."

"A lake? You're taking me out to a lake?" Kagome looked over at him as he was holding a blanket under his arms and a basket with the other. He walked next to her.

"No, I want to take you out, deep in the forest and have my way with you. Does that sound romantic and scary enough for you?" he grinned but Kagome socked him on the arm. "Ow! I was kidding!"

"That's nothing to kid about, Inuyasha. That's threatening!" Kagome walked on.

He ran up to her, "Geez, there's no sense in humor in you, is there?" Inuyasha shuffled with the things. Kagome started to follow him from behind as he really was deepening into the trees. She felt a little scared and was afraid about her heart to react to it. Luckily Inuyasha was walking slowly for her. He didn't want her to walk his actual speed or she'll blow up and didn't want that to happen.

He was even lucky Kagome let him take her out without any parental supervision. She doesn't even know him that well to even trust him to even take her out. But he was lucky that she did. He smiled.

She was really close to his back that when he stopped walking her face and his back were acquainted.

"We're here." He said as if the place were a finale. He noticed that she still had her face on his back, hands squeezing the sleeves of his arms. "Is something wrong?" He put down the things. He turned his head over at her as her eyes were shut. He sighed, "hey, I don't think walking in the dark with your eyes closed is a very good idea. Which reminds me…" he dreaded of into his words as he leaned down and found a lamp that could only light with batteries. He turned it on as he settled it on top of a nice leveled flat-topped rock.

"Wow…" he heard her say in an awe. "Where are we? Is that… a river?" she asked looking over.

"Feh, it's what keeps the lake filled up." He shrugged as she moved herself next to him. "I go here once in a while to think. No one knows about this place."

"Really?" Kagome looked around. "This place looks really nice in the dark. I like how the moon looks when it looks half eaten." Kagome smiled.

"Yeah, this place is beautiful." He stared at her examining her beauty. She tilted her head and Inuyasha shook himself from his thoughts. He took the blanket and spread it across the grass and straitened the corners and sat down making himself comfortable.

Kagome sat down next to him, shoulder to shoulder.

"Why are you doing this?" she whispered.

"Doing what?" Inuyasha looked at her as he was staring at the back of her head because she was looking elsewhere.

"Why are you being so nice and taking me out here?" Kagome sighed as she pulled up her knees close to her chest and hugged it.

"I…" Inuyasha had no answer to that. He liked her. He's known her since he's been working there, right? But she only knew him for the past three days… He's wanted to talk to her for the past year but every time he does. She's either in a private room or all ready gone to go home. He was even lucky that he was sent to move her bed and not the main orderlies. He didn't know what to think. "I've actually wanted to do this since I've met you… Well, later on in the months, that is…"

"Later on in the months?" she turned her head and looked at him. "What does that mean?"

"Tell to tell you the truth, I've known you since I got here. But as I said later on the months I got to learn more about you. What you've done but couldn't accomplish." He shrugged. "I'm not even making any sense now am I?"

Kagome smiled. "No, but I got what you mean. It was like stalking me but not stalking me."

"Uh, I guess… you could say that?" he was clueless but heard Kagome laugh.

"Well, then… I want to thank you for doing this!" Kagome elbowed him. "Did you bring anything to eat?"

"Yeah," he looked to his side and grabbed the basket. He took out a plastic container and took off the top. "Ramen!"

Kagome shook her head, "Ramen…?" she gave a small laugh.

"It's really good," he put on a dorky voice. Kagome didn't know what to think but did thought it was funny.

¤¤¤

After a few bites and a couple of canned sodas, they were laying down on the blanket side by side. Inuyasha had his hands intertwined on his stomach and Kagome had her hands behind her back.

Inuyasha lifted his hands pointing to the stars, "I call that my helpful group of stars."

Kagome laughed, "Why?"

"Well, every time I come here, I go here by myself to think and loosen myself in the inside. It keeps me from getting into bad emotions I carry…I talk to those stars and they help me by not telling anyone."

"You talk to stars?" Kagome lifted herself up as she was leaning on her elbows. She looked at him with a face.

"Sure, I do. Doesn't anyone?" He looked up at her as she was giving a smile that made him feel retarded. "Well, people should. Because it makes the stress less."

"Well, if I want stress off of my back, I cry…" Kagome gloomily lay back down. "It's all I ever do…"

"You… cry?" he turned to his side leaning on his elbow. "I don't think that crying gets stress off. I think it just brings more because crying is a sad emotion."

"It could be tears of joy, or something really funny. It's not just sad, you know."

Kagome wondered if this is where he brings all the girls here. He could be a phony and lie to her and say that he only comes here when it's a special time alone. Kagome laughed. Wow, she's thinking of something that was way off the subject. Maybe he's a player after all? Do you think when he didn't show up during visiting hours he was here with another chick?

He was being nice and being really understandable, sweet and generous. So, what's wrong with the picture here, then? Why doesn't she feel comfortable? She feels really happy and loveable but there was a puzzle piece missing inside of her.

Inuyasha looked over at her as she laughed when there was nothing to be laughed at. He sighed laying back down on his back, "What's funny?"

"Nothing…" Kagome smiled at him. "Just thinking, 'Is this for real?!'"

He smiled, "I was thinking the same thing." Kagome raised an eyebrow. "I feel like this is a dream. Being here with you. I didn't think you would come with me."

"Of course I'd come with you, silly. You made a good impression when I first talked to you. You were really down to Earth and I have never been so relieved to have finally met someone who I can finally be myself to be around with." She sighed looking to her side. "I get so nervous every time I see you. I'm quite surprised I'm even able to talk to you without getting all preppy."

Inuyasha looked like he was examining her words through his eyes as he swallowed this huge rock in his throat, "Are you serious?" he lightened up with a small laugh, "I get nervous when I talk to you!"

Kagome giggled, "Shut up. You're just saying that so I wouldn't feel a lone…"

"No, no I'm serious. I thought, 'hey this girl is cool… hope I won't make a total complete fool out of myself…'"

Kagome pushed him as he fell to his back and laughed. She pinned him holding both of his wrists. They stared at each other for a few minutes both not saying a word about Kagome's position. She shook her head going back to reality and tapped his nose and that the earlier position was nothing and sat up, "You're crazy. Just plain crazy to even say that."

"And you're crazy for saying that I'm crazy." He shook his head at her. She just smiled and that just melted his heart. No way does Kagome deserve to be punished with a heart like that… He hated thinking that. Her heart. He wished that she were never having heart difficulties. It saddens him and was thankful that he got to finally meeting her.

Inuyasha experienced that he truly likes Kagome. He wasn't ready to say love but maybe he will someday.

¤¤¤

It was the day before Kagome goes home and the last night for Inuyasha to visit her. They really bonded with each other for the past week that's gone by and Kagome couldn't be any more happier rather than to be with Inuyasha.

He really made her feel like she was special. No matter what, when he's near, Kagome would think that there's nothing wrong with her. Usually when her heart beats faster she would most likely have an attack but Inuyasha just soothes it and makes the pain go away. Kagome had a tear trickled down her cheeks as she wiped it away.

She was crying of joy that she met Inuyasha.

That night when he took her out was an unforgettable night. She'll never forget it even if her really depended on it. No guy has ever been so gentle with her.

He was everything that Kagome could ever dream of. Even though sometimes he gets a little cocky but then starts laughing at it and apologizes for it. He watches his actions when he's around her so Kagome was proud of that, too.

Kagome stared down at the stuff dog on her lap that Sota bought her. God bless him for caring for her. He obviously loved his older sister and she loved her little brother. Kagome smiled as it had gold eyes and white fur. She held it close as it reminded her of Inuyasha.

She didn't want to be rude about it but it was funny. He was part dog demon so then it shouldn't be her fault for thinking about it. But then again it wasn't his fault for even being part dog demon so that kept the scale even.

"It even has cute ears like him," she plopped the ears and laughed.

She put the dog by her side along with Inuyasha's things. But he wasn't even arriving. It was all ready 12:30 AM.

Where was he and why isn't he showing up? He usually shows up late and has a good explanation for it, too. So he better have a good stinking reason for this then.

Half an hour past by and Kagome felt a little sleepy. "Where are you?" she whispered looking out the window.

Then she fell asleep.

¤¤¤

"Kagome? Its time."

Kagome moaned, "What?"

"Honey, let's go. Its time to leave."

She opened her eyes as the whole room was brightened with the sun's light. Miroku was by her bed with the same clipboard.

Her mother was smiling down at her sleepy daughter. "We better hurry. This room is in need of another patient."

Kagome thought about last night. Inuyasha?

She was going to leave and he wasn't even there to say goodbye or give a phone number to keep in contact. She looked over and thought maybe Inuyasha did past by and didn't want to interrupt her while sleeping and took his stuff at least leaving a note.

She saw the player and no note.

"Um... Miroku?" Kagome asked quietly and handed the player and CDs to him. "Give this to Inuyasha, please?"

Miroku nodded putting them in his pocket. "Sure, no problem." Kagome said her goodbye and hugged Miroku and he whispered, "Take care of yourself, okay?" Kagome nodded.

Kagome stepped away and Miroku and Mrs Higurashi talked for a while and Kagome saw him nodded and her mother walked to her with a smile.

Kagome walked to the door holding onto the dog with her mother to her side not wanting to stay and look for Inuyasha or her mother would throw a fit.

As they left and walked out the door, Miroku stared down at the floor, regretting a request he followed…

¤¤¤

AN: That's it for right now. I'm trying to reload Microsoft Word so that way I don't have to use WordPad but it's cool. I can't remember who asked but there is a point to this story and I'm writing it for a reason. And Someone (I don't know. That's how the named appeared. Lol.) E-mailed and ask how they're liking each other so quickly. And I replied, "Wait and see." Haha. Lol. Well, I'm almost done with the next chapter so… It should be up in a little bit… Tomorrow? Lol.
