You don't know how happy the reviews made me. Thanks to my first 5 reviewers!!! Hugs and plushies for you all!! English translations are parenthesis.
Ok... on with the story...Fallen Angels Chapter 2: (revised) Fate and Flirting
Disclaimer: Go look in the first chapter... Don't make me say it again.. please....
!! Last Chapter !!
"Sit down, we have a lot to discuss," Dr. Yurosai said seriously. "As you may have noticed, you probably have been more exhausted than usual lately. Kagome nodded. We ran some tests and came up with the conclusion that you have developed the cancer, leukemia.
Kagome froze and her normally cheerful face showed utter shock and confusion.
Chapter 2: Fate and Flirting
Kagome really didn't now how to react. The entire room was still with an eerie feeling filling the air. Dr. Yurosai finally broke the silence.
"You have a few options: First of all, you mustn't lose hope. New advances in medication could help you through this. You can go their chemotherapy, which tries to kill the cancerous cells, or you can sign up for a list for a bone marrow donor. If the transplant works, you probably won't have to worry about your leukemia for quite a while. That is, if your body accepts the new bone marrow. But don't worry, I'll do everything I can to help you through this."
':: sweatdrop:: WHAT THE HECK IS ALL THAT!! Could've been in Portuguese and I wouldn't have noticed the difference...,' Kagome thought. Kagome just sat there with a blank look on her face. All Kagome comprehended was that her past life as she knew it, due to her doctor's few words, suddenly changed into the uncertain future. The room once again stilled, with everyone considering the options.
"Do I really have to start chemo so soon?" Kagome finally asked.
"To have the greatest possibility of your health, the sooner we fight the cancer cells, the better it will be," Dr. Yurosai said, much to Kagome's dismay.
Kagome sighed for she knew her free time just went flying out of her life. But there was nothing she could do. She decided to call Sango and tell her what was going on. At the same time, the phone rang. BBRINNNNGGGGGGGG!!! "Konnichiwa. Kagome speaking."
"It's me, Sango. WHAT IN THE WORLD HAPPENED!! I've been trying to reach you for the past 3 hours."
"Well.. I don't know how in the world I'm going to tell you this, but I have leukemia."
(Add Sango ranting and raving about how life was unfair to her best friend.) "Well... Come visit me later and I'll let you know how everything goes."
"Sayounara."
"Sayounara."
Click. Kagome sighed. She got off the phone and the nurse came walking into the lobby. "Well, if you'll follow me, I'll show you the way to your own room. Oh come on.. smile! At least you get your own room," the nurse exclaimed.
She had this scary looking smile, you know, like one of those overly happy people. Besides, she kept flashing her teeth.. just freaky.
'Oh goodie........................' Kagome thought sarcastically. Kagome walked into the very er... white room. White walls, white sheets, white tables, you get my point. The nurse finally walked out, happy smiles and all.
'Finally, peace and quiet,' Kagome sighed.
BANG!!!! The door swung opened and banged against the white plastered walls. A guy of about 17 with black hair tied in a small ponytail at the nape of his neck barged right in.
"WHO THE HECK ARE YOU!?!?!?!!" Kagome screamed.
"My fair lady, just call me Miroku, hottest guy on Earth," the guy said happily, a little disturbing. "Well, why don't you introduce yourself....I'm waiting..." he said
"And who in the world said I was going to talk to you. Besides why do you care and what possessed you to come into any random room and harassing people...!" Kagome said annoyed.
"You see, you're the girl I intend to marry so I figured I should get the privileges of knowing your name," Miroku said matter-of-factly, taking her hand.
"Dream on, cause I'm definitely not telling someone as ugly as you and LET GO OF ME," Kagome exclaimed.
"Aww...my feelings are hurt. Oh don't worry about it, cause I know you'll make it up to me. Well as for the name thing, there is a way. I'll be right back." Miroku said self-assuredly.
With that he disappeared out the door. 'What the heck was that.. well at least he's gone. People these days....' Kagome thought confused.
As if fate decided to go against her, the little hentai was back in a few seconds.
"Behind door #1, Kagome Hiragashi!" Miroku seemed quite pleased with himself. "How did you know!" Kagome screamed.
"Skills my lady.. skills..(cough) door name tag (cough)" Miroku replied all the more confident.
By this point Kagome was ready to just grab the plastic chair and bang it over his perverted head. "Fine, 'Mr. I Think I'm So Hot' do me one big favor and get the hell out of here!!" Kagome hollered.
"As you wish, my lady... but don't worry, we WILL meet again," Miroku replied. As simple as that, he disappeared and ran down the echoing hallways.
Kagome sat there, dazed for the second time that day. Anyways, the nurse finally came back with Kagome's pills and medication. "Take these 3 times a day, after meals. Otherwise, you can go to the testing room in about an hour. Oh and before I forget, I believe you have a visitor. Bye bye!" the nurse walked briskly out of the room.
"Oh please.. it better not be that Miroku dude again... cause he totally ruined my day," Kagome said.
Well, she was lucky.
Sango walked in, not Miroku.
"Whew!!" Kagome exclaimed.
"What kind of welcome is that?!!" Sango asked, jokingly.
Kagome replied, "Oh nothing it's kind of a long story."
"Well, tell me! I love good stories!!!" Sango exclaimed.
She seemed to have gotten over the terrible shock of her best friend's bad news. Now, Sango was here complete and ready to cheer Kagome up. (talk about mood swings)
As her friend wished, Kagome revealed everything to Sango, including the err.. surprise visit by Miroku.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! Just hilarious. Ooooo do I sense some lovebirds in here... awwwwwwwwwww!!!" Sango cracked up and started laughing uncontrollably.
"What in the world!!! This is NOT funny. He is the most perverted stuck up guy in the world. And I thought guys in high school was immature." Kagome cried indignantly. "
"Uh huh...whatever you say. By the way, he sounds interesting. He did say he was coming back right? What a devoted person! I want to meet him. Wouldn't this be fun, you don't seem very motivated, so I shall help you!" Sango declared.
"Exactly what does that mean!!!!? Sango you BETTER NOT DO ANYTHING!! YOU DO REMEMBER THE LAST TIME YOU SET ME ON A BLIND DATE WITH KOUGA!! We didn't even last 1 week! Sango... I'm warning you....!!" Kagome screamed furious. Kagome shuddered, remembering horrific memories.
"OKAY.. we'll see. Besides, this time will be different. I'm sure of it. The stars and moons line up tonight! That means good luck!!!" Sango said with stars in her eyes.
"Uh.. sure.. talk about freaky and obsessed friends." Kagome stared at Sango, checking if she was okay. "Well I got to go. I'll bring your homework tomorrow for you! Ja ne!" Sango said.
"Arigato Sango-chan! Ja ne!" Kagome waved her friend good-bye.
!! Next morning !! Normal POV !!
Yawn. Kagome woke up and remembered today was the day of something important. 'oh yes... chemo galore.. I'm soooo excited.. NOT' Well, might as well get over with it.' After breakfast, Kagome's dad went with her to the hospital room. They walked in and asked to speak to Dr. Yurosai.
"Yes, right this way," said the nurse, her shoes squeaking as she walked down the brisk hallway.
She stopped next to a door that said, Chemotherapy. Kagome took a deep breath and opened the door. As she walked in, her first instinct was to RUN!! Machines were everywhere and it seemed like an operating room for chopping off body parts.
"Oh... don't worry...we won't be using all those machines. Those are for other patients." Dr. Yurosai said with a smile.
"Heh... I knew that...:sweat drop:" Kagome muttered.
"Alright, we'll begin nice and easy. All you need to do right now is to take these medications home and take them twice a day. But I am warning you, you might experience some side effects because of the drugs. Nothing life threatening though. Oh and by the way, we will need o draw some blood to run up some test." Dr. Yurosai said, "You can go to the waiting and recreation room for a couple drinks and some video games while you are waiting."
Kagome sighed with relief. She took her pills and walked to the recreation room. The floor was littered with toys, books, and games. In the corner of the room, a kid around 6 or 7 was sitting on a big, plushie chair, trying to figure out a puzzle.
"Ohayo! What is an adorable kid like you doing in a hospital?" Kagome asked.
The small boy had fluffy brown hair with a tinge of orange in it.
"I have to get my tonsils out," the little boy sniffed, "But I get to eat lots and lots of ice cream!"
His face brightened with a smile that could light the darkest rooms.
"Well, that's good. O namae wa nan desu ka? (what's your name?) My name is Kagome." Kagome said with a smile.
"Watashi no namae wa Shippou desu. (my name is Shippou)" Shippou said brightly, "Can we be friends?"
"Of course, Shippou-chan!" Kagome laughed.
"Kagome Hiragashi," the nurse called.
"Dewa mata, (See you later!) Shippou-chan!" Kagome said.
The doctor told her she is now officially signed up on the waiting list for people looking for donors. As soon as someone matched her blood type, she would have a chance for a cure. Until then, Kagome would have to rely on pills and chemo.
