No Life Flower!
Chapter Nine:
Two hearts across time; fall into the snow.
Kagome pulled herself vigilantly from the well with all her strength left inside of her wounded body. While she ran from Inuyasha, she received an endless supply of scraps and cuts from the sharp branches of the bushes and trees that she passed through on her way to the well. She wasn't even thinking clearly at the time, all she could think about was what had just happened to her. Her heart felt like it had been run over by a lawn mower, it felt ripped and tattered like a piece of worn out clothing.
Once she made it out of the well, she walked forward opening the exit of the shrine and stepped out closing it behind her. She stood there, her back to the shrine. She felt completely broken; she could still feel the wetness of her tears smothering her tender skin. Taking her fingers to her face, she touched her tears, they felt cold like ice crystals. She soon felt a sudden chill spread across her body, opening her eyes clearly, she noticed something she should have in the beginning, her whole home was covered in snow and the grounds also were paved with, cool white fluffiness.
Her mouth fell and her eyes opened wide, she soon received a half smile. Snow always made her smile when it would come upon her doorsteps but she just couldn't bring herself to smile fully, how could she when Inuyasha had just trampled her heart. There would be no smiling for her for a while, she probably was going to die before she would smile or be happy again. She wrapped her arms around herself, she was feeling a bit chilly and being frigid probably wasn't the best thing for her right now, for if she were to get any colder she might faint, catch a cold virus, or have heart failure.
Keeping her hands around her body, she walked forward keeping her head and face straight concentrating on her house. All she could think about was making it there to her warm room and safe bed. There she would be able to cry to her hearts content, she could feel and be whatever she wanted in her room, if only it were that easy, if only she could be whatever she wanted. It did seem easy to her but that was before she stumbled into the well, into the feudal era and met with Inuyasha. She was going to think more on that subject when she had remembered something important.
"Oh no I suppose the hospital, mom's probably worried." With that said she ran in the direction of the hospital. Kagome only hoped she could make it in time before anybody found out that she had ever gone. Which most likely everyone knew by now that she was missing and knowing her family, they knew she went to The War and States Era. They probably were mad at her since her mom specifically told her that she couldn't go because of her immune system being dangerously low, and her heart— she could have chest pains, and pass out, or something worse could happen. She could have died when her heart died out but Inuyasha saved her from dying. She bit her lip. That was true he did save her, but then why did he say he didn't care about her? It didn't make much sense to her.
She ran down the streets of Tokyo, trying to get to the main hospital station where she was taking. She held her arms around her frozen body. It probably wasn't very smart of her not stop at her bedroom before hand and pick up a snow jacket. However, she didn't have that on her mind at the time, all she could think about was Inuyasha, her mom, Souta, and her grandfather. She ran further and further through Tokyo until she finally made it to the main entrance of the hospital, her breathing was very heavy and she was cold. Mild burning erupted in her chest; she placed a hand to her heart.
A gentle cool wind rose down upon her as she walked through the doors of the hospital. She shivered terribly, why did they have to make it so that when you walk into the hospital the air vents must open up on you and make you colder then you already were. It didn't make any sense to her. She sneezed loudly and the hospital doctors all stopped to look at her. She felt very embarrassed, why did the have to look at her? It was so rude. She then walked a little further into the hospital trying to make her way back to her room. There was a cold sweat looming over her as she trudged on. Kagome placed a hand on a nearby wall, to help her stay up, as she walked along. Her breathing became shortened; she felt the weight of her body growing it felt as if she was filled with sand. She then fell down to her knees— no longer able to use the wall as a crutch— and soon she lied against the coolness of the hospital floor. Her eyes laid half opened with a dead-like glint and there was a blank smile on her lips, as she lied spurred out on the ground.
"I'm just going to sleep for awhile, please-don't-be-mad... " She said falling into deep sleep or rather fainting. Although, she was a sleep she could still hear the sound of screams and although she fainted, she could make them out as to whom the voices belonged to.
I could hear the voices they sounded all drone-like I could hear them call to me mom and Souta. They called for me to come back to them, to be safe. They wished me a safe return that I would be okay. I could hear those words from their mouths as I passed through the memories my memories of my life they ran through me like a train of lights. They passed by so fast that I could barely even make them out. The memories went on for what felt like hours, the sadness of my family and the memories collided together creating total chaos in my head. I couldn't take anymore I could feel myself shaking repetitively. It could have went on like this forever, I saw my whole life flash before my eyes, until it finally stopped only showing Inuyasha. He was smiling at me. I begged him to leave me alone I was to hurt to see him right now especially if he was going to smile at me. Nevertheless, he wouldn't leave my head and when I looked up at him saw the smile they're no more he was frowning at me and then the weirdest thing happened he spoke to me.
"Kagome I'm sorry." He said with what felt like sorrow. I could feel my heart beating rapidly as if it could give out on me at any moment. I didn't know if I could keep myself from losing my heart forever, but if I let it die... Although, I didn't know if I wanted to keep my heart, it wasn't my own, it was Kikyou did I really want to keep something that didn't belong to me. I looked back up to where Inuyasha was but found myself in shock when he was not there. Turning around in the darkness, everything changed and I was in the rose garden again and Inuyasha was in front of me. He smiled at me as he walked closer practically in my face. I feel could my cheeks burn up into a blush.
"Kagome don't give. Don't ever give up." I felt myself become in awe by his words. However, it was cut short when I felt his lips brush up against mine. My eye's opened wide in shock but only for a moment as I found myself succumbing to his gesture. I couldn't help it but feel warm by his touch and his soft lips. Then after awhile of kissing him I could feel my heart coming back from the depths of death. He then let go and I felt cold and alone again. Why did he have to let go? Couldn't we stay like that forever? When he kissed me, I felt like I finally belonged… with him. I looked up and he was gone leaving me with wildflowers flying all around me.
I could still hear his last words to me ' don't ever give up.' Those words would stay with me forever. I then looked up at the flowered filled sky with a smile.
"Don't worry I will never give up."
Kagome's eyes sprung open as she gasped for air.
"It was just a dream," she said in an unsure tone. She then noticed that she didn't have a clue where she was. She seemed to be laying down somewhere, taking her eyes she glanced around the room. From her inspection of the room, she knew exactly where she was, her hospital room. There was a breathing mask over her face and a bunch of the tubes filled with vaccines, and medications connected to the veins in her wrists. She sighed in relief as she had made it in safely.
~|~
Inuyasha sat next to the well looking down into it dolefully. Why did he have to be so stupid? Why did he have to choke up again? That was what always happened to him. She was nothing but in concern for him and he just had to yell at her, tell her he didn't care. He did though; he cared for her more than anything in this world did.
"Inuyasha, don't stare at the well like a dummy, go in and get her." Inuyasha felt himself almost jumped out of his skin. He turned around slowly to see a small Kitsune in front of him. He began to growl at him viciously.
"Err! Shippo what the hell do want?" he said somewhat startled. Why was that that kitsune had too always, startle him? He sometimes could be nerve wrecking. Shippo walked up closer to him with an irritated look.
"I want you to go get Kagome." Shippo told him innocently. Oh no not that again! Shippo always did this to him, bugging him to go back and get Kagome. He growled ferociously at him.
"I don't want to go and get her, so don't even start bugging me." Inuyasha said furiously. He hoped that maybe if he scared the Kitsune, he would leave him alone but no dice. Shippo stood his ground.
"Inuyasha I know a way that you go see Kagome without her knowing you came for her." the kitsune informed. Inuyasha looked on at him suspiciously, keeping his arms crossed along with his legs, sitting by the well. What Shippo had to say did sound somewhat interesting to him, but to let the kitsune know that might hurt his well-known reputation for not caring about others? However, in this case any means of seeing Kagome would be worth it to him. Still looking at him suspiciously, he decided to interrogate him about his plan.
"What kind of plan?" he asked curiously. The kitsune at his answer let his face glow brightly. He then scooted closer to Inuyasha with a sly smile.
"Well Kagome left her yellow bag, you could bring it back to her, using it as an excuse to see her and possibly make up with her." Shippo smiled at Inuyasha devilishly, practically scaring the pants off him, as he had never seen the scary hardy ha expression on him. The idea of him taking Kagome's bag back to her time was intriguing to him, especially the part of using it as an excuse to see and make up with her. Although, he still had his ego to worry about, he defiantly did not want the kitsune to know that he completely agreed with his idea. He growled at him ferociously yet with irritability.
"Shippo, that's the stupidest plan ever created. Now go away don't bug me again. If you don't, not even the hungriest of ravens will be able to nibble at your scrambled up carcass."
Shippo smiled at him perceptively. His plan had been timely and properly executed; Inuyasha had taking the bait, although Inuyasha tried to hide it from him with his lame threats. It didn't mean anything as he had seen the spark of life that struck his eyes as he had told him of his plan. He stood from the ground firmly, turning his back from Inuyasha; he ditched the bag in front of him and ran towards the bushes.
"Your so mean Inuyasha." He jeered, although he acted out as a facade that he became fretful by his threat. He didn't want Inuyasha to suspect him of anything.
Once he made it through the mesh of bush particles, he spotted Sango and Miroku on the other side, hiding their faces from Inuyasha. Miroku turned with a happy knowing smirk, as did Sango. Shippo returned their enthusiasm as he ran directly into Sango open arms. Once in her arms he cocked his head into an upright position, keeping all eyesight on Miroku. He then smirked rapidly.
"Thank you Miroku your plan worked perfectly, he bought it. Kagome should be back soon." Shippo assured full of excitement. He didn't exactly know what Inuyasha and Kagome were fighting about, as Sango and Miroku told him that it was over Kouga, but for some reason he couldn't bring himself to except that explanation. Everyone has been acting so weird lately and he had no idea why. He in a sudden rush of wind felt himself hit the ground viciously. He felt him self-go into a dizzy spell; it didn't last long as he heard Miroku's voice.
"Look Shippo was right, he taking the bag and jumping into the well." Shippo could feel that dizzy spell pass with the tide, as the emotion of joy came over his tiny body. With one push, he threw himself up from the ground. Marching up to the thick tall bushes, he took his small hands and spread the branches apart allowing himself to see just in time as Inuyasha hightailed it down the well. He smiled joyfully as he was happy that he was going to get to see Kagome again.
"Oh I love watching Inuyasha and Kagome, shy love is so cute." Miroku said overjoyed.
Inuyasha swung himself coyly over the well, keeping his eyes pealed for Miroku and Sango, as he didn't want anyone to know he was going to her time.
The dankness of the well reformed itself a new, a purplish shimmering light covered the inner layer of the well, soon the knowledge of the well disappeared, and there was nothing but a purple aura forming around him. The time portal would transport him in time to Kagome's future world. The glittering purple disappeared from his eyes, bringing back the lining of the well, letting it become known, once more.
Once the time transfer had been complete, Inuyasha starred up from the rocky flooring of the well; his stomach felt all knotted up with butterflies. He felt him self-becoming nervous. He couldn't just sit in the well all day, he needed to fix his mistakes, and Kagome's broken heart. It would be hard for him to admit an apology, but in this case, he would have to make an exception. He sighed as he jumped gracefully out from the well. He felt a sudden chill strike at his whole body, his eyes opened wide as saw, white frozen contents falling from the sky. He had seen this before, when he was with Kikyou but never knew what the name for it was. He shook his head of that thought; he didn't want to think about Kikyou that was all he needed. It was her fault he was in this mess anyway.
His red hoari kept him warm; however, he could still feel the iciness across his face and slightly through the linen of his clothing. He held his arms around his body as he bounced across the grassy grounds, then up the tree next to Kagome's bedroom, looking through her window he couldn't find a single sighting of her. Still she might not have been in her room now. He then jumped over to her window ledge; sliding the window open, entering her corridors. Once he was completely inside the innards of her room, he inhaled the air around him through his nose. He couldn't find the slightest amount of Kagome's sent that she was in this room recently or even a little while ago. His face filled with wonder of where she might of gone, he hoped that nothing had happened to her on her way home or anything of the sort. He walked calmly back to the open window, then with a swift motion he hopped from the window landing forcefully on the ground just below her window. His ears fell droopy to the sides of his face, his face fell with sorrow, she wasn't there now, and he had no clue where she might have been. He still carried her yellow bag over his back. He was hopping to return it to her and possibly apologize however, that didn't seem like a possibility anymore. He then headed back towards the well, but as he was coming in closer to the shrine doors, he heard a voice talking to him.
"Inuyasha is that you?" He felt a sudden jerk fall into his body. He turned around optimistically thinking that the person who approached him might have been Kagome however, to his dismay, he only found Souta. He was holding Kagome's sweater; he could smell her sent all over it, maybe he knew where she went.
"Inuyasha I thought I saw you, are looking for Kagome?" he asked, Inuyasha could feel the sorrow from his voice; he then filled with worry.
"Is she okay?" he choked. He hoped nothing bad happened to her, she was dying after all, and both his eyes opened wide with horror.
"She fainted on the hospital floor, we thought she died, but her heart slowly began to beat again. It was a miracle." Souta informed. Inuyasha could feel himself choking, as he felt that it was probably he who had sent her into that sudden loss of consciousness. He would have to see to her right away, as he needed to know that she was safe and okay.
"Where is this hos-taple at?" He said in a bit of a tongue-tie. Souta couldn't help himself not to laugh at his hero's mistake in words. It was funny to see him not knowing how to pronounce words correctly.
Inuyasha glared at the kid mentally, he didn't want the kid to get mad and not tell him where to find Kagome. Souta seized the laughing as a sad look over took the joy. He looked up at Inuyasha.
"It's at 3rd street, take left at Tokyo bay, once you're past there you should see a tall building, Kagome's room is at the very top 2nd room to the left." Souta informed him the best he could, trying to make the directions understandable. Inuyasha knew he tried his best and to his surprise, he actually could understand Souta's ramblings.
He thanked him with a smile and in a rush jumped right out of there, heading down the direction of Souta's instructions; he knew 3rd street well, because Kagome had taking him shopping their once. He would get there with no trouble at all; it was the other parts of his instructions he would have slight trouble understanding. He finally fell from the deep ice filled sky-landing right in the middle of the snowy street; he could feel the coldness and ice etching into the crevasses of his feet. Once he landed in the street, he then looked back up to the sky, ice flakes fell upon the edges and center of his face, as he sniffed out where the waters of Tokyo bay might be found at. He caught the sent of the refreshing salty frozen water and was about to make his way there when he heard a strange obnoxious noise. Turning around he saw a large deathly looking contraption sliding across the iced in street way, heading for a head on collision with the right side of his body. His eyes open wide with horror as he had no idea of what he was up against he hadn't seen anything as freaky looking as this monstrosity was.
Actually, he would have to take that back, he had seen this contraption before, it was the last time he came here with Kagome when they went to get the ramen from a place called a grocery store. His eyes opened wider and clearer, his guess about the contraption, the time he last saw one was correct…these odd-looking large contraptions where the monster youkai that resided here in Kagome's time. What did Kagome call these monster things again? Oh YEAH cars. He couldn't let this one get away; he might just try to hurt Kagome. He smiled his sly happy smile as he turned around fully to face the car contraption. He then took his right hand to his red sleeve and with meager strength pushed it up to the edge of his shoulder; he then with his left hand pushed the right sleeve up identical to the left.
A small person-like figure stuck his head out a hole that was formed it the side of the 'Youkai'. Inuyasha's face faulted at the sight of this monster, this monster looks like he's falling apart on me, either that or it's one sick looking Youkai. Whatever its problem is, I have to say I have never seen a Youkai, creepier looking than this one was. Oh well, I'll still crush him. He smirked deviously at that thought, he was so in tuned to himself that he didn't even hear the 'car Youkai' screaming at him viciously.
"Hey you get out of my way, can't you see I have somewhere to be. I have a job you know unlike some people!" Inuyasha's face stooped down a bit. Did this youkai just talk crap to me, I don't know, but that's just what it sounded like...and if he did! He would make him pay for that. He then with his sleeves still pulled up, decided he would exercise his claws. Taking them up to the ' car Youkai's' face' he advanced them back and forth, trying to intimidate and scare him.
The man's face filled with terror as he saw Inuyasha's claw like hands. Then with closer evaluation he then noticed the long dog like ears that seemed to spring with liveliness from a top of the left and right sides of Inuyasha's head, and then came the golden eyes. The man began to panic at the sight of Inuyasha, his grew two times larger in fear, and he had never seen anything like him before. He then with terror that filled his heart, turned the car's steering wheel, completely around and drove away from Inuyasha with immense fear of him.
Inuyasha's face faulted for what felt like the sixteenth time. " Where's he going?" he asked with a high-pitched dumbfounded tone. His faults of shock reformed in to an egotistical smile. He then giggled and chuckled radiantly, his hands placed at the sides of his hips. " I guess I was just to much for him." He said with pride, it faded soon after the last word spilled from his mouth, as gloom and sorrow replaced it. Kagome! He thought dolefully, he hoped that she was doing okay and was feeling better as from Souta had told him, she had some sort of accident. I wonder what she's doing right now.
~+~+~+~
Kagome sat up firmly in her bed, a cold sweat slid down from both sides from her cheeks; her breathing was snippy as was her movements. She had a faint retention of what had happened to her as she entered the hospital doors. She could only recall the pain in her that she felt swelling up in her body, the screams of her family and those very last words from Inuyasha. Although, it was just dream formed from her fainting those words still held some sort of meaning to her. She couldn't give up on life and now as she looked at herself, she felt very sick as to how she was acting. Kikyou and her were nothing a like, as Miroku had told her before her heart is her own it grows from her feelings, which meant that it probably is turning very ugly because of how she was behaving. She was never the reincarnation of her only a memory of her features and her power is because of the family bond that they shared, Kikyou was sort of to her like a super great grandmother. Those ideals were truths that she chose to believe in now. She wished that she hadn't acted so terrible towards Inuyasha, he's probably angry with me, and he probably won't ever come back for me or want to see me again. A tear fell down from the tip of her cheek; keeping her eyes in a trance like state, she carefully brought her hand half way to her face catching the tear in mid air. Her sadness seized to move any further as she noted her door slowly opening, the door opened half way, speculating further she found her mother coming in with cheerful smile. Her face fell, she had optimistic hopes of Inuyasha being the one to come from inside the door, and soon a smile flushed out the sadness. She then giggled mentally to herself- if it were Inuyasha, he would have come rushing in with sour expression saying something like 'apologize right now, I'm not going to leave until you do.' She wished that were what had happened just now, however, she doubted him ever coming to get her.
"Kagome what are you so happy about?" Kagome's mom said somewhat giggle happy herself. Kagome felt her self become startled as she had forgotten that her mom had come into her room.
Turning her face to meet diametrically with her mom's she simpered slightly. "Oh it's nothing I was just thinking about something," the happiness vanished from her features, "I was just wondering, what exactly happened to me? I don't really remember." She asked curiously. That question had been bugging her, why did she faint right there and then when there was no reason for it.
Mom didn't answer her; she just kept staring at her with a smile. It was almost as if she didn't want to answer her.
Kagome looked at her with anticipation. Her smile soon fell as she turned away from her daughter looking down at the ground woefully. Kagome's face also fell sadly as she could feel the pain leaking off her mother's body.
"Kagome why did you not listen to my conceal, I told you not to go anywhere." She said dolefully yet in anger. Kagome felt her whole body cave in at her mother's lack of joy. She seemed so sad. However, she couldn't stay in that hospital not without seeing Inuyasha, the gang and saying goodbye to them all. How could she die without saying goodbye? Looking up at her mother who stilled was looking down at the side away from her while keeping all features locked from her.
Kagome smiled meekly as she could not exert much expression in the situation. "I'm sorry mom, but I couldn't die without saying goodbye to Inuyasha and the rest of my friends." Kagome said compassionately although; deep down she felt complete disgust towards herself. She was trying her hardest not to break her promises she had made, which were, to help Sango release her brother from Naraku's grasp, to help Miroku free himself of Naraku's deadly curse upon his right hand and Inuyasha… She had made an unbreakable promise to him, which stated her help in finding the Shikon no Tama Shards and Revenge on Naraku for every thing he had done. However, while she concentrated on not letting them down she didn't realize that in that process she was letting her mother down greatly.
She felt her mom suddenly wrapped her arms around her slim physique. Her eyes jolted open wide. She didn't quite understand what had brought on this sudden need to embrace her. Soon, she accepted the fact that her mom was seeking just comfort and then embraced her back lightly.
"It's okay Kagome. I was just so worried that something might have happened to you, but now I see that you were okay and I'm not mad anymore well, I never really was." Mom said lightly in a deep tone. Kagome, felt herself become curious and a little bit suspicious of her mom, she didn't get what she meant. What did she mean by ' I was just so worried that something bad might of happened to you-'? Her mom had never talked like that to her; she would always define in grave detail of what she thought might have happened to her. That didn't really fit right with her, she became very suspicious that her mother was hiding something important from her, in the act of wanting to know the truth; she decided to interrogate her of what that truth might be.
Letting go of hold of her mother's medium-sized physique, she starred her directly in the face curiously. "What did you think would happen to me? What that I might have fainted of that I might have experienced heart failure, or that I would have chest pains from too much exertion, and stress." Kagome inquired curiously. She didn't get it. Why would her mom keep something about her a secret?
Mom starred at her daughter with nothing but a half smile. Kagome could tell she was forcing herself from breaking out into tears and that only furthered her curiosity. Her smile soon faded with the tide relaying a simple frown. "Well, I haven't been completely honest with you, Kagome." She choked.
Kagome's eyes opened slightly larger than before. That answer blew her mind, as she wasn't accepting that outcome although, she would have thought it to be something on the lines of that. Tilting her head forward, she glanced at her mother curiously. "What do you mean? What haven't you been honest about?" She knew it was true her mom was truly keeping something from her. She just hopped that it wasn't bad.
She watched inattentively as her mother shut her eyes tightly. She mostly kept all her focus on her mother's answer to her question. "I was just scared to tell you the truth you were so young and even now and I just didn't want you to be scared either. It's just that I-." She stammered fretfully.
Kagome looked at her mother with intensity. "It's just what!" She said cutting her mother off, she took a hold of a chunk of her sheet in her right hand, that covered her body and she clenched it tightly trying to bare her anticipation and the intensity of the moment.
Her mom closed her eyes tighter, to the point where she could feel her eyelids' and eyeballs' compressing together and she winced in pain from it. "I never told you what your disease really was." She choked out loudly.
Kagome's eyes sputtered open carelessly in shock. She felt her grip of the sheets tighten violently. What did she mean by that? What was there to tell? She knew all about her disease. It was a heart disease, where your heart would gain tumors and then you die. That was all there was to know wasn't it. She felt her eyes break apart from her face as if she had a sudden loss of expression… I truly thought I knew everything about my disease, however, now that I think about it, I really have no clue what my disease called. There are millions of variations of heart diseases and I don't even know what my own is called. Moreover, I don't even what the heart disease will do to me. Her mom was right; she didn't know what her heart disease truly was. "So then, why don't you just tell me now." She choked. She didn't want to sound to angry with her mom because, she wasn't mad at all but having the deathly truth kept from you wasn't a feeling she wanted to keep.
Her mom looked at her vaguely; suppressing her feelings so that not she could know what she was feeling right now. Although, Kagome was very aware of her mom's pain, it was probably hard on her to keep this secret from her as she had never kept a secret before. Her mom cringed slightly as she prepared herself to admit her mistake. "Well like I said, you were so young when your father was made ill and you were so innocent that I couldn't bring myself to tell you the full truth. At first I was planning on telling you everything of the disease but, when I came in contact with your sweet innocent eye's, I froze as how could I make you feel the pain that I felt. I knew that that pain would tare you apart as it did me so I didn't tell you. However, I had to tell something because although you were just a child, you were smart, and curious so, I told you what little information I thought you could handle. Moreover, to the point, when you first hospitalized and I was coming to tell you that you had the heart disease, I was planning to tell you the truth this time around. However, I suffered the frozen feat once more, as I saw those same innocent eyes as before. Now I will not freeze as you need to know the truth."
She stammered slightly as she watched every emotion that played her daughters face. Kagome then nodded for her to go on. She sighed painfully. "Well here I go... the disease is called Myxoma. Myxoma is a rare disease that plagues the heart; the tumors are usually in the left or right atrium. If the tumor is found in one of these places, it is normally an easy process to eradicate the tumor or tumors."
Kagome felt a slight glimmer of hope over come her senses and for the first time she felt alive again. There was still a chance for her to survive her traumatizing disease. However, the glimpse of hope was soon to fade as she saw the look of grief replay her mothers face.
"However, in your case the process is more difficult than its predecessor." she gulped. "Your case is much more severe and rarer to happen. You see you weren't so lucky to get the Myxoma tumor in the right or left atrium, you had it develop in the ventricles and spread to the atriums. When this process happens it is almost next to impossible to eradicate the tumor without severe damage to heart." She paused for a moment once more to examine her daughter's expressions towards the subject. "The ventricles supply the blood to the left atrium however, that process is made complicated when there is a tumor blocking its passageway, and in your case, you have two in the ventricles and two in the left atrium. This is one of the main reasons I wanted you too not leave the hospital. Because, you see if the passageways are blocked and you do many activities that calls on a lot of strength then it obstructs the blood flow between the two causing you too faint. Also possibly lose consciousness for awhile or even sometimes forever." She finished uneasily. She felt horrible inside as she watched all the sad a terrorizing emotions play out on her daughter's face.
Kagome could feel her soul rush out of her body as she fell backwards hitting the pillow roughly, from whence she came. That little glint of hope that once shunned through her fell viciously away from her like an old rag doll. She laid stiffly across her bed, eyes diagonal with the white wall on her left. She didn't know how to respond to her mother's information. Therefore, if I do anything in the least that takes energy to do, then I could end up dying or losing my consciousness in this world…Inuyasha what should I do…I will never be able to see you again.
A soft shimmering tear curled down the right side of her cheek. Taking her left hand callously to her face she, forcefully whooshed the tear away allowing it to land gracefully on her white sheet. Then with little contempt, she brought her face up to meet with her mom's doleful features. She needed to say something…anything however; she didn't have the slightest clue as to how to respond to her. What could she say? She was on the verge of total melt down. When she first told that she had the rare heart disease like her father's she thought that that was it she was going to die. That's why she left to go to Inuyasha, however, deep down she always thought that there would be some type medical procedure that could save her. Only now as she lied there in bed with her mom at her side did she soon realized that there was no way for her to survive this.
She starred carelessly deep in her mom's eyes. She could see all the pain galloping through her and it hurt to see her that way. She was still waiting for her response to her new found information. Kagome sighed mentally to herself as she readied herself to answer her mother. "Mom…" Kagome voiced. She choked again, she had it all planned out; just say a few comforting words and say I love you and everything will be all right however, she wasn't able to finish her sentence.
Kagome's mom's features jolted viciously as if by a sudden startle to the nerves. Looking vaguely into her daughter's blank eyes, her lips curled to a halfway point. "Yes Kagome. What is it?" she said dolefully. She was still sad but happy to hear her daughter's voice again.
Kagome's eyes burst open solemnly. She was shocked by her mother's lack of attention in reality. She seemed to be off in la-la land. Kagome didn't want to embarrass her mother by her lack of attention so; she tried desperately to hide those feelings. Clearing her throat vigorously, she pushed herself to go on. "I'm sorry…."
Her mom's mouth dropped a few inches. Gradually bringing her eyes to hers, she then allowed her curiosity to rise to her features. "Kagome what do you have to be sorry for? I'm the one who should be-."
"No!" Kagome voiced once more yet with more force. She didn't want to hear that word again…sorry! She had heard that word so much from everyone and she was tired of hearing it. She bit her lip trying to stifle the rush emotions inside of her. No one besides her needed to be sorry as she felt like everything over the past few days was her fault; she felt like she was letting everyone she cared about down. She sighed while once more gripping her white sheets tightly in her hands. "You don't have to be sorry for anything. I'm the one who should be sorry, I'm sorry that you will have to watch me die slowly in horror, just like you had to with father." She stammered dolefully with both eyes glued to the plain white sheets. She could feel her whole body shaking violently.
Kagome's mom could feel her heart practically jump from her chest at the sound and words of her daughter. That half smile that resided on her face rose to a full as she fell forward towards her wrapping her arms graciously around her small body frame. "Kagome don't be sorry. I'll be just fine, and who knows, maybe you will be too. Because you see medical science grows everyday and hopefully they will come up with a way to cure your illness before it's your time." She informed gently with care as she held her daughter passionately.
Kagome's eyes sprung open slightly with shock however, it soon reformed itself into a vibrant smile. She then with little strength embraced her in return. "I love you mom." She replied eloquently.
"I love you too Kagome. Now get some sleep." She replied casually. She then let go of her daughter and stood up gracefully from her. She then smiled at her kneeling inwards to her and lightly kissed her forehead.
Kagome watched perceptively as her mother left out through the door. That smile that once grazed her face faded into a blank frown. She then rolled over on her right side and closed her eyes firmly as she forced her self to sleep.
~+~+~+~
Inuyasha marched with speed down the street-ways of 3rd street. He wouldn't waste any time getting to the hospital and seeing Kagome. His eyes were rough and vague, as he didn't have much on his mind.
Finally, after a long race down the streets of Tokyo, he came to a small intersection, looking down all directions; he searched out a depiction that best described Souta's instructions. His nose suddenly, was, intoxicated by a luscious smell, turning his head to the left; he noted a small-water-like-spring and then remembered Souta talking of a Tokyo bay. He knew what a bay was and since this water-like spring seemed to be the closest thing to a bay, he then thought it best go in that direction.
He tore down rapidly in that of his left direction, towards the bay. Heading down the road with all the speed inside of him, he was so fast that he barely caught a glimpse of a tall building. He past it about fifty feet and with much speed drew himself back to that tall sight. It was the largest building he had ever encountered.
"Souta said it would be tall, but I never imagined it to be to so high up," he said in astonishment. He then cocked his head to the right trying to look at the building from a different angle. " This has to be the right place. I mean I have seen these weird red signs before in my time and I think they mean medic however, I not sure." he voiced to himself seriously.
He wasn't sure if this truly was the right place or not, however, this feeling of relentless attack of reality in his heart wouldn't allow him to think otherwise. Taking his head back to its rightful position and then up, he looked perceptively at all the tiny windows placed horizontally on the building. Souta had also told him in his directions that Kagome was in the second room to the left. He found himself dumbfound as he had no perception of right from left.
He starred deathly at building never moving a muscle. It then like a ton of bricks finally hit him. He remembered a time when Sango's brother had stabbed Kagome in her arm. Miroku told him, that it was her right arm that was damaged by Kohaku and if that were her right then the opposite arm would have to be her left. His eyes were still glue to the hospital building and after coming out of his slight dumbfounded-ness, his eyes started to move scanning down every few quarter inch of the building.
He went on like that for what felt like hours until finally his eyes stop with a red furry. He had found her room! Looking around the surroundings of the window, he noted a tree that was just as tall as the building. With much eagerness, he rose gracefully in a rush to the top of the tree.
Once at the top, he knelt forward as fare as he could to try to see if the room was indeed, where Kagome resided. His eyes opened wide with warmth as he saw a young raven-hair girl lying soundly asleep in bed. His astonished feature reformed into a radiant smile. Thank God! She's okay!
He then forcefully jumped from the large thick branch of the tree to the very top of the hospital building. He made it soundly to the roof and once he was sure every muscle and reflex was intact, he slowly trudged on until he was right above the second window. Bending over the edge of the building, he starred the see through window directly in the face. A smile again applied itself to the foundation of his soft lips. She seems so peaceful…should I really wake her up from her dreams and the only place where she can rid herself of her deathly disease. He pondered that thought for a moment while he watched her engulfed in her peaceful rest. An important thought then crossed his mind; he cocked his head over his shoulder glaring at the yellow bag that he had promised to return to her. His mind then became set… I'll just return the bag to her silently, and then leave and she won't have to wake up into a nightmare again. He nodded his head casually as he furthered himself down towards the window latch. His eyes sprung open in shock for what felt like the hundredth time that day… There's no latch on this window. He then with excessive force tried to push and pull the window open. Neither of his techniques would work and with aggravation, he threw his whole body over the edge of the hospital top.
He then tried hard to push the window open with the soles of his feet however; it too became futile as his right foot slid on the ice formed by the snow of the outer layer of the window. He fell backwards vigorously, until finally his back compress violently with the snow covered ground. He winced in pain for only a millisecond as a heavy sigh took from his voice box into the vibrations in the air. He then after the sigh faded placed both his hands on the newly formed crater in the ground and pushed himself forcefully from it.
Walking for a short time along the edge grounds of the hospital he decided to without even thinking kick his left foot heavily into the air. Not even thinking of what consequences that would come from not thinking of what you are doing. He screamed horrendously in pain. Looking down at the cause of his great misfortune, he found a large rock.
He growled and spattered heavily at it. With meager strength, he lifted the gigantic rock from the essence of the snow hole. Taking it in hand, her scanned it with a curious look however; a smile soon relayed his face over the curiosity. " I got an idea!" He turned casually towards the hospital and Kagome's room with a devious look plaguing his features. Again, with meager strength, he tossed the rock in to the air aiming for the second window on the left.
The rock pushed carelessly through the crystallized glass window, shattering it to pieces. His face faulted as he felt butterflies fill his stomach…what was he thinking smashing her window?
~+~+~+~
Kagome rolled over to her right, which faced the now broken window; her eyes sprung open as the sounds of wreckage filled her ears. She sat up firmly in her bed; her eyes became swollen with shock. Her eyes scanned the ground, looking over all the different shaped shards, until they finally reached up to the gigantic hole in her window. The whole window was gone. The shock wore off as she turned her head to a large rock centered on the floor in front of her bed. Somebody had deliberately tried to break my window; either that or the snow just learned how to play baseball, which is unlikely.
She stood gallantly from her place of rest; a cold harsh look engulfed her facial features. She marched right up to the broken window and carelessly shouted out through the crushed window at whoever was stupid enough to play a prank on her.
"You jerk! How dare you break my window, I gonna make you pay!" she threatened the intruder. Her eyes jolted open as she saw Inuyasha's form below her. Did he do this? She wondered curiously.
"Inuyasha is that you down there?" she asked.
Inuyasha cringed from her loud and scary threats. He knew darn well that she would truly carry her threats out; as that was who she was, she always kept her promises. Her last words finally entered his mindset. Looking up from the snow-covered ground, he glanced at her softly. "Yeah it's me," he said casually.
Kagome's eyes blinked a few times in utter shock. What's he doing here? The thought drifted away from her as rage took over. "Why did you break my window you jerk?" she inquired irritated.
He sighed shaking his head relentlessly. " Because it wouldn't open," he told truthfully.
Kagome's rage only grew heavier. "Well then why didn't you come in through the door like civilized people do?" she shrieked callously. She wasn't mad at him; it was just that she liked her window. She thought about sitting him however, if she did that he might not tell her why he came to her time.
He smiled deviously at her. "Maybe because I'm not." he coaxed, bringing his hands into a fold across his chest.
Kagome smiled vibrantly in return. Now that that problem cleared up she felt a little better, however there was still one thing that seemed to eat at her, and that thing was what he had come there for. "Inuyasha what did you come here for?" she asked deciding to try to receive an answer to her annoying question.
*
Inuyasha felt a slight tingling rush through his body. He didn't know how to answer her. He had come there to see her and as the excuse, he planned, with Shippo's help, on using the fact that she left her bag behind as a ploy to see her again. However, he didn't know if he wanted too still use that ploy because for some reasons unknown, he wanted to be truthful with her. Stepping forward an inch he pulled the bag off and raised it above his head to show it to her. "You forgot your bag." He said exponentially yet casually.
*
She felt her heart breaking again. He only came to bring me back my bag. I thought he came-. Her thoughts silenced as she heard his voice once more. "I also wanted to talk to you," his voice sounded serious. Her broken heart had soon mended itself as a smile froze itself onto her features. "What do you want to talk about?" she voiced curiously. She was hoping that he wanted to talk about what happened because; it really had been bugging her.
*
Inuyasha felt droplets of sweat caressing the sides of his face. His arms were still crossed. He bit his lip. He was still in shock that he was able to form the words to her that he had come to see her it was a miracle. "Um Kagome, do you think we could talk about this somewhere in private?" he said as he was beginning to feel awkward yelling back and forth to her as anyone could be listening in on him.
"Oh no don't stop now it was just getting good." a strange voice came out of nowhere and it was aimed towards them. Inuyasha sniffed out where the voice was coming from. His eyes stopped at a little window that also was, connected to the hospital. It was on the bottom right of Kagome's window. There was an old hag with wrinkled sad eyes starring at them both. He then returned a pleading gaze back at Kagome.
*
Cased closed, he was right! They needed to talk somewhere more private, where there wouldn't be any interruptions. "Okay hold on a minute," she told him. She then turned away from the window placing her gaze firmly upon her only exit. If I go out there, they would catch me for sure. She bit down hard on her lip desperately. She didn't know what to do. Finally, after a lot of thought and careless judgment she came to a decision.
With much force, she turned around and marched towards the window. First turned her body around, back facing the window and then she stuck her body firmly out it. Her legs dangled frantically outside the window. She then gripped her hands on the ledge of the window forcing herself slowly from it.
*
Inuyasha's face scrunched up slightly and curiously. His hand made its way to the top of his head, taking an index clawed finger out he scratched the top of his head dumbly. "Kagome what are you doing?" he asked.
Kagome shook her head while hanging in fright. "I don't know this is the farthest I got and I don't know what to do next," she informed. It was strange, they had put her in a higher up room then last time, although last time's was high up as well. She could recall tying many blankets together for escape, only this time, they seem to have only given her one blanket, and one pair of sheets, which was definitely not enough.
Inuyasha's face faulted. He sighed. "What were you thinking? There's no way you can make that drop." he assured, placing both hands to his sides.
Kagome closed her eyes as she felt a rush of gravity leave her. Sweat was laminating her face. Her chest was burning, she was exerting way too much, and the stress she felt in this life and death situation was unbearable. She didn't know what to do and she was beginning to feel lightheaded. Her regular breathing began to heave. There was something wrong and she wasn't exactly sure what it was. Her hands began to slip on the cool ice on the windowsill and soon she slipped completely away from the ledge, falling backwards through the air.
As she fell violently through the air, she kept hearing her mother's words repeatedly in her head. This is one of the main reasons I wanted you too not leave the hospital. Because, you see if the passageways are blocked and you do many activities that calls on a lot of strength then it obstructs the blood flow between the two causing you too faint. Also possibly, lose consciousness for a while or even sometimes forever. Those words would not leave her although she wasn't conscious.
*
Inuyasha felt his body become heavy along with his breathing. "Kagome…" he choked. He was barely able to talk and as if by reflex, he dashed madly towards her falling corpse.
Just in time, as her body was about to befriend the ground, he stepped in catching her gracefully in his arms.
"WOO-HO! You go boy. Nice catch!" Inuyasha looked up from the ground and Kagome's body, only to see thousands of tiny heads sticking out of the buildings that seemed to surround the hospital. They were are clapping there hands together and praising him for a job well done. He couldn't help but blush at the sudden startle however, he soon returned his gaze at Kagome. His eyes opened slightly larger, she didn't seemed to be awake anymore or conscious.
He felt his heart stop and then it proceeded to jam itself up his throat. His body froze as did time. He couldn't even bring himself to move. However, he was worried that she might not have been alive or on the verge of dying. A massive strength then coursed itself through his tainted Youkai veins. With much force, he pushed himself from the ground into the cold air.
Once in the air, he looked for a safe place to land and by choice, he didn't have to roam any farther as his choice was the top of the hospital. Landing gently against the cold sleekness of the hospital top, he allowed himself to collapse with her safely in arms on top of the building.
He then laid her gently against the ground and so that she wouldn't get brain freeze, he allowed her head to rest upon his lap. "Kagome, are you okay?" he asked frantically. He waited a while before making any moves, to see if by some choice miracle she might answer him, however it was all for not as there was no prevailing. After, a long terrible silence He kneeled his head inwards to her face to see if maybe this was just some joke although, he doubted it strongly. Once he noted that this was not some sick twisted joke, he stealthy pressed his ear against her breast. Listening in for any sound of a faint heartbeat and luckily there was however; it wouldn't be soon before it gave out.
"Kagome please wake up," he pleaded frantically but this time it was stronger. She still did not answer his call to her. He could feel tears beginning to swell up underneath his eyelids; he tried desperately to force them back, but too no prevail. The tears poured out like an on going sprinkler down the lines of his cheeks. He then slipped her all the way off from his lap and bent over her. Then taking his hands from the ground, he placed them both on her shoulder and shook her fiercely. "Kagome please wake up, please…I-I…need you! " he finally choked out passionately. A single tear fell from his cheek landing on hers.
Kagome's eyes scrunched up from the compression of the tear. "Uhh…mm." his eyes opened wide at the sounds of Kagome, rumbling sounds under her breath. His eyes lit up with joy…she was alive and was coming back to him. "Uhh...Inu-ya-sha…" she trailed off. Her eyes slowly opened, like two shiny chocolate jewels.
"Kagome!" he shouted as he took her from the ground into his arms, pulling her into a smooth embrace. "I thought I lost you forever," he stammered.
When Kagome's was finally able to get good grasp of what just had happened, she finally noted Inuyasha holding her. Her cheek became a shade of bright red and her eyes grew large in shock. "Inuyasha…I'm okay now…everything is okay now." she reassured him compassionately. Although, in her heart everything wasn't okay, she had done what her mom had warned her not to do, she over worked herself, and she wished she had not. She had never seen Inuyasha this scared before and she didn't like it one bit.
They sat there for a while locked in a passionate hold. She didn't want to break it up because she felt as if she owed it to him and she liked holding him.
After, some more time passed he finally calmed down enough to let her go. They sat side by side, starring off into the cold almost starlit sky.
As time went on, only silence remained and she was getting quite sick of it. " Inuyasha what did you want to talk about?" she asked not being able to handle the silence anymore. She then turned her face up to meet his although; he was still starring up at the sky.
He didn't really want to answer her, as he didn't really care about that anymore however, she did ask. "If you want to know the truth…well I came to apologize," he said calmly although, deep down he couldn't believe that those words came out of his mouth. He hasn't been able to talk or tell the truth clearly to her before. It was as if something was wrong with him.
Kagome smiled at the fact that he answered her, she was very happy by this. "I will accept your apology only if you except mine." she informed. If he were going to make apologizing so easy then it wouldn't be right if she didn't say sorry too.
Inuyasha gulped as he turned from the sky to look at her with a look of sheer shock. " Uuh okay, I forgive you but, what did you do to me?" he questioned curiously. He had no idea what she did…he was jerk not her.
Kagome couldn't help but blush although; it wasn't for the usual reasons it was because she was embarrassed, by what she had done. " Well I shouldn't have freaked out on you like I did, I was wrong. And I'm sorry for the hateful things I said…I'm truly sorry." She apologized dolefully looking at the edge of the hospital roof.
Inuyasha became; shocked by her words, as he had never thought anything she said was wrong. "It's okay, however, its not like I didn't deserve It." he informed casually.
They became silent once more only for a while as Kagome broke the silence once more. "Inuyasha, you know how you told me you didn't belong in this world… well I don't either…so…that makes two of use." she stammered trying to get the words from her mouth out right. She then smiled innocently at him as she laid her head on his shoulder.
Inuyasha was, shocked by her words, however; he couldn't help but get a warm feeling in his heart, a feeling that only comes when you truly belong. He liked the feeling and never wanted it to leave nor did he want her to. He smiled only for a brief moment as he heard her voice once more.
"Hey I got an idea follow me okay?" she then stood from him heading for the fire escape stairs in a blind rush.
He flitted a hand towards her. "Kagome wait, I don't think you should move just yet, I mean you just fainted."
"Just follow me, I am okay now, it was just a little one, not that big of a deal!" she called back.
Inuyasha watched as Kagome marched joyfully towards an odd looking door. He shrugged with a sigh as he soon followed her too.
They ran down thousand upon thousands of stairs before they finally reached a door. He wanted to ask her where they were going but found it hard for the first time to keep up with her. There was a good reason for his slowness; he was too busy watching the pumping of air into her chest. He wanted to make sure she was breathing well. So far it seemed normal, but he kept watch anyway. When she opened the door, he noted that they were back to the front of the hospital.
She propped her head over her shoulder with a smile while still running "Follow me, I want to show you something," she said excitedly as she turned away from him, putting her concentration on where she was going.
Inuyasha followed her until they came behind the hospital. His eyes opened wide in astonishment. Before him, lied endless grounds of snow it seemed like it could go on forever.
"Awe!" Kagome stated in relief as she fell on her bottom into the snow a few feet away from him. She then looked up from the ground at him with a smile.
Inuyasha didn't get what she was trying to show him. From the looks of it, it was the snow however, he already knew about it. He then looked on at her suspiciously. "What is it that you want to show me?" he inquired curiously.
"This," she explained as she threw herself back first into the snow, from there she began to exercise her arms and legs back and forth right to left in compression with the snow.
Inuyasha's watched in awe at how strange she was acting. What is she doing, she looks so silly. He thought with a slight smile while crossing his arms diligently.
Kagome stood gradually from the ground; a smile still planted on her features. Once off the ground, she hopped merrily to his side. "You see it…you like it?" she asked joyfully and happy while pointing at her snow creation.
Inuyasha followed her finger to the snow creation. He then glared down at her creation curiously. It looked like a woman in a dress however, there was something strange coming out of her sides. "What is it?" he asked in a dumbfounded state.
Kagome looked on at him somewhat confused, but it was soon to fade, a look of sheer joy took over. "Oh I see you have never seen one of these before. Well, this is a snow angel. Why don't you try it? All you have to do is lie on your back, flat out on the ground and move you legs and arms back and forth and you will make one," she informed happily with a slight giggle.
Inuyasha stilled seemed a bit confused but still would try it out anyway. He then lied flat out on the ground preparing himself to follow her directions. He knew what an angel was…it was the direct opposite of him. Once I finish making it, I'm sure I won't be an angel it will be a devil. He thought sadly. He then allayed his feelings and began to follow her instructions thoroughly.
Once he was done, he stood up and stood next to her, as did she before him. Kagome's eyes shot opened wide in awe and her arms became glued to her sides like two stiff boards. His angel was the most beautiful angel she had ever seen. His dog like ears created a beautiful halo and when he made the wings with his arms and hands, the claws created a light around him as if the angel was glowing. It was extraordinary.
Inuyasha didn't understand why she was being so silent. Was it that ugly that she couldn't even form words to describe it? Man, I can't believe it was so ugly that it made her freeze in horror! Oh well, I expected nonetheless. He then looked at her curiously. Her face seemed to be in a daze to which he did not know why. "Kagome what's wrong…is it really that bad." he asked fretfully.
Kagome looked up at him still in a daze although; she was still able to shake her head. "No…it's beautiful." she assured.
Inuyasha couldn't believe what he was hearing…beautiful was a little fare-fetched to him.
Kagome broke free from her daze only to note him starring at her curiously. She couldn't help but smile at him, and take the opportunity to make him have some fun. She then took in her hand as quickly as lightning, a ball of snow from the floor and threw it in directly his face. She then smiled giggling relentlessly at his now snow-covered face.
Inuyasha wiped the snow callously from his face, revealing slight anger. "Hey what was that for?" he growled. What did he do to deserve this? He then caught a good idea in his head. "Two can play this game." he then took some snow from the ground forming it into a perfect ball like she had done before him and then threw it forcefully at her, hitting her in the side.
Kagome smiled joyfully that he had caught on to the game. She was also happy that she was able to make him happy again. She knew that her mom said that she shouldn't do many activities other wise she could lose consciousness forever. However, she couldn't pass up this opportunity to make Inuyasha happy, she just hoped and prayed that she would be able to handle it. Besides the only times she really ever fainted is when she is under immense stress, doing something fun shouldn't be too stressful, she hoped.
Inuyasha and Kagome played the snowball fight all through the afternoon until the new moon was coming to rise. Neither side was willing to give up so in the end they had to call it a draw.
Kagome and Inuyasha were both at a loss for breath as they forced themselves to stand from the cold ground. Kagome began to stammer a laugh. "That was fun," she informed walking over to Inuyasha, who now seemed to be, covered in snow, from head to toe.
She then placed her hands on his head wiping all the snow from him. Her eyes jolted open in shock as she noted that Inuyasha had black hair, which meant that he was human. Looking up in the sky, she saw the new moon and knew that it wasn't a dream… He was, human. "Inuyasha look your human now," she said dolefully. I remember the last time he was human, he was so nice, and maybe everything he has told me today wasn't how he really felt. She thought sadly as she turned away from him not being able to take her eyes away from the moon.
Inuyasha took his no longer clawed hand to his head pulling back a couple strands of hair to see if what Kagome said was true. He then saw it for himself and turned to face her. He readied himself to say something, but stopped when he saw her sadness. "What's wrong Kagome?" he inquired curiously.
Kagome turned to him and wiped her sadness away long enough to get a few words in. "Did you mean everything you said to me…I mean were you truthful?" she stammered. She didn't know how too correctly ask him without sounding evil.
Inuyasha looked at her curiously yet a bit sad himself. "What you think because I'm human that makes me a different person?" he asked keeping his hand at his sides.
"No." she replied truthfully while vigorously shaking her head. She then turned herself around to face him again "You're the same person to me regardless if you're in your Youkai, human or in your half Youkai form." she finished in a calm tone.
He smirked at her. "I guess you got you answer then." he paused for a moment taking in the gentle air around him. "You see for some reason I am able to say things to you that I wouldn't normally say in my half Youkai form, because for some reason I am shyer in that form. I want you to know however, even though my half form acts jerky sometimes I don't mean It," he informed her calmly although, deep down he was shocked that he was saying those words to her.
Kagome shocked by his words and not wanting to ruin it, she decided to change the subject. "Um Inuyasha. I don't think we should return to the war and states era," she informed him in a worried tone.
Inuyasha glanced at her curiously. "Why not?"
Kagome smiled innocently at him, crossing her arms gently. "Because I think it would be best for the both of us if you stayed the night with me at my house. That way in the morning you would be a half youkai again and nothing bad will happen," she informed again. She didn't want to go back there their first day of getting along again and just have it go down the drain and them all die.
Inuyasha felt as if he should argue with her but for some reason, he found it futile in every way. She was right! If he spent the night, he would be all right in the morning and when they went back there, there would be no chance that she would or any of them would get hurt because he didn't have his powers. "All right Kagome." he replied.
Kagome found it a little disturbing how easy that was but then again taking into consideration of what he had just told her, she understood. She nodded. "Okay hold on I'm going to tell my mom." she said seriously as she took off back in the direction of the hospital front.
Inuyasha was about to stop her when he realized that she was already to fare gone to call back. He sighed. He was going to tell her not to let her mom know he was there because he thought it best not to let everyone know he was here. However, it was too late now as she was long gone.
Hours went by and he wasn't sure if she would ever return. However, his doubt froze like a Popsicle as he saw her running towards him with a joyful look on her features. "Inuyasha my mom is going to take use home so, come on." Inuyasha sighed once more, as he followed her, as he knew this was going to be one long night and tomorrow would most likely be horrendous.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Authors Note: Okay I know this chapter was probably too fluffy and Inuyasha was probably way OOC. But that is only because I think he's sweeter and kinder in his human form although, I still love half Youkai Inuyasha to (I love him ^_^)
Ja NE.
