"Finding Your Heart" by Inu Faceness

Chapter Eleven: Together again

He walked into the room alone. His heart began to pound in his chest the second he saw her face. Her eyes closed, her hand up beside her face in a childlike position. A goofy grin spread like wildfire across his face as he practically ran to her bedside. Inu Yasha fell to his knees and lightly brushed his fingers across her face.

Kagome's eyes sprang open when she felt his warm fingers on her cheeks. She was met with his gaze, the soft molten eyes she remembered looking into every morning. Her eyes began to water as she stared at him, not fully believing what she saw. No words escaped her open mouth as her mouth went dry. She managed to sit up on her bed, Inu Yasha staying on the floor and looking at her.

"Inu... Yasha..." she managed. He broke into a short laugh as he heard her voice. Inu Yasha pushed her back on the bed and lay on top of her, kissing her lips softly. Her eyes were still wide opened as she registered his lips. She felt him pull away and look deep into her eyes.

"Kagome..." He brushed her hair from her face. Out of slight desperation, he smiled and laughed slightly. "Kagome, why didn't you kiss me back?" he whispered.

The woman beneath him swallowed a lump in her throat and tears threatened to fall down her face. "Is... are you really here?" The sight of him with her again was overwhelming.

"Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?" Kagome broke down and latched her arms around his neck, hungrily attacking his lips. He answered back with equal passion. Their bodies were molded together as two people entered the room.

"Already? Geesh, it hasn't even been," she looked at her watch, "ten minutes." She just couldn't help but say it.

Inu Yasha broke the intimacy with his wife and glanced over his shoulder, glaring at his friend. "You better run, Rin," he said, getting up off Kagome. Rin turned to run out of the room, but was stopped by Akamatsu, standing in the doorway. The woman hid behind the doctor, trying to save herself from the wrath of the just-awoken hanyou barreling towards her.

"Inu Yasha, calm yourself." Inu Yasha stopped in mid-step. Deflating slightly, he crossed his arms and huffed. Sango smiled and went to her friend who was still in a daze on her bed.

"Kagome, you all right?" she asked, helping Kagome into a sitting position. The girl nodded, a soft smile coming to her lips as she watched Inu Yasha stand in the middle of the room.

Rim gained little faith as she stood from her crouched position behind the doctor. "It's good to have you back, dear brother," she said, still keeping his distance.

Inu Yasha's ears swiveled. "Back? Where'd I go?" the young hanyou was completely clueless. At his question, Kagome and Sango both sniffled. He looked at each girl, the saddened expression from all three breaking his heart.

Akamatsu answered for them, keeping his cool. "You've been in a coma for about three weeks now."

It was silent for a few moments. Inu Yasha looked to Kagome. "Was I in an accident or something?" His mate nodded.

"You, me, and Rin."

He looked over at Rin. She gave him a slight smile as her hands fiddled in front of her. Inu Yasha looked to the floor. "So I was in an accident with my sister and my wife... a coma for three weeks...anything else?" his nerves were frayed. He had no recollection of this. Had he hit his head or something before he went into a coma?

Kagome stood and walked over to him. "Here," her voice cracked. She took his hand and put it on her stomach. The hanyou fell backwards into a chair as Kagome broke into tears. She fell to her knees, putting her forehead on his knee as her hands held his leg like a small child. "I'm so sorry, Inu Yasha," was her only whisper.

He didn't know what to say. All around him had been happiness and in one instant, it was shattered like the glass of a windshield. 'Wait... windshield? Was I in a car accident?'

Doctor Akamatsu, who had been standing at the doorway, took a step forward, coughing to bring their attention to him. "I'm sorry to be the one that has to break this up, but Inu Yasha needs to be examined."

No one spoke as Inu Yasha stood with Kagome. He gave her a soft kiss, wiping her tears away, before leaving the room with Akamatsu. Rin and Sango went to either side of their friend, putting a hand on each of her shoulders. They slowly left the room.

"Did you see his eyes?" Kagome asked them as the got outside. "They were so filled with pain."

"He really did want the kid, didn't he?" Sango asked, smiling slightly as Kagome let out a little laugh.

"Hai, he was so happy when he found out. Inu Yasha was just, so excited."

"Must run in the family," Rin said, helping Kagome into the car. "Sesshomaru was the same way." The three girls shared a short laugh before returning to their respective homes.


Inu Yasha lay on the metal table as three doctors checked him. The only thing on his mind was the baby. He hadn't known just how much he had wanted to hold the child in his arms, to care for it, until he had known he wouldn't be able to. He heard one of the doctors.

"He seems in perfect condition, like he'd never been in a coma. Or an accident for that matter," Inu Yasha sat up as the doctors instructed him to. They lead him to his room and left him, saying they needed to file the information.

The room still smelled of Naraku. It was faint, but with his youkai nose he could still smell the traces of him. But how did the damn hanyou know that Inu Yasha was there? And why did he show up after all these years?

He went to the window and looked out over the city from three stories up. He would piece his broken life back together. Inu Yasha was determined to get his old life back together. The love, the happiness, everything he had with Kagome.

Inu Yasha walked to his bed and crawled in, instantly missing the feel of Kagome by his side.
