AN: Hello all of my fans, I missed you all! Sorry I haven't updated in a
while, I'm still working on a story to be published, and almost everyday I
get a new idea, so I change it. It's sad, I know. Okay, okay, the story.
Not much longer for any of my stories. Eight more for my Spirited Away fic,
six more for my Inuyasha and Kagome one, and I haven't decided on this one,
yet. It depends on how much I write about the conflict, and whether or not
I feel like making it longer, which is hard for me because I always writer
short stories. Wells, I'm going to get on with the replies, and let you get
on with the story!

Chapter Ten-Under Certain Conditions
Sango lay on the hospital bed, her face pale and clammy, her eyes shut and her lips blue. I couldn't bear to see her like that. Kagome was there to comfort us all, and Inuyasha comforted her. However, I did not see Kyle anywhere. I had arrived at the hospital directly after I received Inuyasha's message, coming in just in time to see the doctors walk out of the room to deliver the bad news.
Sango was in a coma.
I couldn't stand it, and I was so furious, I almost broke the desk when I first saw her. Hot tears streamed down my face, and Inuyasha knew how I felt. Kagome was crying on her own, too busy with her own tears to notice mine. Sota was there, trying to control his older sister as best he could, while trying not to cry himself. Inuyasha remained calm, only showing a solemn face.
But where was Kyle? Wasn't he Sango's husband? If he really loved her, he would be here, crying with the rest of us. I was furious, maybe he had done this to her. If he did, I swear...
I stopped that thought dead in its tracks. I was not going to think like that, I would never. I took one more look at Sango's sleeping form and left the room, walking down the quiet halls of the hospital. I couldn't stand to be in there anymore, the pain was unbearable. I wiped my hand across my eyes to dry my tears as I walked past doctors, nurses, and other people walking down the hall. I could hear the echoes of the shoes clicking on the ground around me, and letting the sounds enter my mind and thoughts.
I wiped my forehead slowly with the back of my hand and I felt the cold sweat brush off. I was finally out of the hospital, and I took in a deep breath of fresh air. I closed my eyes and let the wind blow around me, the fresh clean air feeling like the only comfort around me. When I opened my eyes again, I saw Kyle, walking slowly up the steps, looking down at the ground. I frowned, so, he finally showed up?
He didn't even see me. His body crashed into mine, almost knocking me to the ground. He looked up, and gasped, "Miroku! I'm so sorry! I didn't see you!"
I figured, I thought to myself. "It's okay," I said out loud, regaining my balance. "I wasn't paying attention, either."
"So, what are you doing here?" Kyle asked.
I looked at him, "I came to see Sango, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to see my wife," he said coldly, as if the words brought acid to his throat. "When did you get here?"
"Right after I got the message from Inuyasha, which I'm sure you haven't met, yet."
"No, I haven't met him, yet. How is she?"
"She's in a coma. She fainted in the church and it appears she hit her head pretty hard to where she was knocked out. The doctors say she should wake up soon, and it's not as serious as it sounds." I was lying, Sango's condition was much worse. But he didn't have to know that.
Kyle nodded slowly, "okay, well, I better go see her."
I nodded back, but I had to ask a few questions before he left.
"What is it?" He asked after I grabbed his arm and turned him around.
"I just want to ask you a few questions," I said, putting a fake smile on my face. "Nothing more, nothing less."
Kyle looked angry, I could tell, but he shrugged and I asked the first question.
"When did you hear about what happened?"
"Just a half hour ago. I was in the shower so my answer machine picked it up."
"And who called you?"
"The hospital. Actually, a nurse that helped Sango get into her room and take care of her."
"What was her name?"
"Kiana, Kina, something like that."
A name popped into my head, but I didn't acknowledge it. I continued with my questioning. "How long did it take for you to get over here?"
"Twenty minutes."
I wanted to smile, but I didn't want to show my joy in this. "What did you do for the first ten minutes?"
He hesitated for just a second, "I was looking for my keys. I had forgotten I had them in my pocket. So when I went into my car, I didn't have them and I had to run back and get them."
"So where is your car?"
"I parked it in the back."
"Can I see your keys?"
He hesitated for a second, but he handed them to me. I looked at them and indeed saw his car keys on his chain. But was the car really in the back? I handed them back to him, and took a deep breath. He wasn't going to like this next question.
"One more question," I said, and it looked like he was loosening up. "Did you and Sango have a fight causing you to hurt her?"
His face grew dark red, and I could almost see smoke come out of his ears. "How dare you! I would never hurt Sango! She's my wife!"
"Even under certain conditions, you wouldn't?"
He stopped, "under what kind?"
I slowly took a deep breath, giving myself a pat on the back mentally for getting his attention. "What ever your mind makes up."
He didn't say anything, but his face was red again. I knew I triggered something. "You want to know something, priest? Stay away from my wife and me. If I ever catch you talking to her, or if you ever get near me, I swear I will see to your end."
I felt a cold sense run up my spine and I shivered as he turned and walked away. There was something about him that didn't seem right. And why was Sango so scared about him? Something about this whole thing didn't make sense to me at all, and I was going to figure it out one way or another.
I let out a sigh, but smiled. I got that far, but now it was time for a little more, deeper, research. I turned around and walked back home, feeling tired and hungry. It was going to be a long week.
