"Kagome? Kagome! KAGOME!!!" Kagome jerked herself from her stupor when Shippo's voice was
screaming through the receiver of her phone.
"Shippo…I'm sorry. What hospital is he at?" Kagome asked, her voice shaking as she fought
back her tears.
"Tokyo General Hospital. I'll come pick you up, you shouldn't be driving. I'll be there in
a few minutes. And Kagome?" Shippo said and she wiped away a stray tear.
"What is it Shippo?" Kagome asked, as she grabbed a pair of jeans from under her bed to pull
them on.
"The paramedics said that…The last thing he said before he fell unconscious was, 'I love you
Kagome.'" he said and Kagome cried out.
"Hurry Shippo." she said hanging up the phone as she pulled on a pink hooded sweatshirt and
since Miroku would be in ICU, and she knew she wouldn't be allowed in, pulled on a gold ring.
"I don't want to lie, but I do want to see him…" Kagome muttered running from her room and
down the stairs to nearly bowl over her mother.
"Kagome, where are you going this late at night? Especially on a school night?" Ayaka asked,
worried about how pale her daughter was.
"Its Miroku…He's been in a car accident, Mom. Shippo is picking me up to take me to be with
him. He's in a coma, Mom." Kagome said wiping another tear from her face.
"I could drive-" Ayaka said, her voice shaking as she too became pale.
"I want you to stay here, please Mom. I…Don't think I would be able to go to school
tomorrow. Can you call in for me?" Kagome asked and her mom nodded.
"I'll say a prayer for him. Shippo's here dear…" said Ayaka waving Kagome out the door.
Kagome ran out of the house and then down the steps of the shrine. When she reached ground
level she practically jumped into the passenger seat next to Shippo. Telling him to go she
gripped the armrests in her panic and worry over her boyfriend. The car ride to the hospital
was silent as Kagome fought tears and Shippo drove with white knuckles.
"You'll have to tell the nurses that you are his fiancée. Kagome, I'm sorry I had to be the
one to tell you." Shippo said as they pulled into the parking lot of the hospital.
"Understood. What room is he in?" Kagome asked as they walked into the ICU wing.
"Last room on the left." Mr. Monk said as he stood from where he was seated.
"Thank you…" Kagome said running down the hall to where Miroku's room was, only to be stopped
by a nurse.
"Only family can go in there at this moment. Miss, if you would please go into the waiting
room." the nurse said and Kagome fought the urge to cry out.
"He's my fiancée! You have to let me in there!" she cried out and the nurse blinked.
"But he's so young?"
"So am I…He proposed for when we graduate college. Now, please, you have to let me see him!"
Kagome cried out and the nurse nodded.
"I'm sorry, go on in." she said and Kagome ran into the room gasping when she saw how bad he
looked.
"Oh Miroku…" Kagome said sitting in the chair next to his bed, her hand grasping his.
Miroku's hair was not in it's normal ponytail and was fanned around his head. On his forehead
was a jagged line of stitches. There were cuts on his arms and face, probably more on his
legs, along with bruises. His lip was split and he seemed to be paler than normal.
Looking up at the IV's in his hands Kagome noticed that one was a clear liquid that said
"glucose" on the bag. In the other IV was blood, AB positive, a rare blood type. Taking in a
deep breath Kagome squeezed Miroku's hand lightly. (I can't remember what a rare blood type is
so can we just say that AB positive is rare? THANK YOU!)
"Oh Kami…Miroku I wish I would have told you sooner…I love you…" she said, finally allowing
her tears to fall.
~*~A week later~*~
"Kagome, would you like something from the cafeteria, I'm going to get some tea." Ayaka asked,
Miroku had been moved from ICU into a different room where he was still in a coma.
"Coffee?" Kagome asked and her mother nodded. "Two sugars and three creams?"
"Alright honey. I'll get you something to eat too, okay dear?"
"Yea, thanks Mom." Kagome said and her mother smiled weakly.
"No problem honey. And I called Sango, she's going to stop by here with your homework for you
and visit Miroku again." Ayaka said leaving the room while Kagome wiped a stray tear from her
cheek.
Over the past week Kagome hadn't left Miroku's side. Her mother called into the school saying
that she was going to be visiting a family member that was in the hospital. Sango, each day,
would come down to the hospital with Kagome's homework and sit with her for a few hours after
school. When her mom would come down with her she would make sure that Kagome would get some
sleep and food into her system so she didn't end up in a hospital bed herself.
"Miroku, why haven't you woken up?" Kagome asked him as she brushed her fingers over his cheek,
the bruises on both of their faces were gone.
"Miss Higurashi?" asked a nurse as she came in with a new IV of glucose for her 'fiancée.'
"Need me to move?" Kagome asked and the nurse nodded lightly.
"Haven't you gone home at all?" the nurse asked as she switched glucose bags to keep Miroku
from becoming malnourished.
"No, I can't seem to leave him. I never, never got the chance to tell him how much I love
him." Kagome said and the nurse nodded moving to the doorway as Kagome sat back in her seat.
"He'll wake up soon. Then you can tell him. And if you need anything, just press that nurse's
button." she said before leaving.
"Oh Miroku..." Kagome muttered again as she brushed her fingers over his lips, feeling how
chapped they were she reached in her pocket pulling out her chapstick she applied it to his
lips.
"Woke up early this mornin'
Made my coffee like I always do
Then it hit me from nowhere
Everything I feel about me and you
The way you kiss me crazily
Baby, you're so amazing," Kagome sang softly, her eyes shedding tears once again.
"Seven days and seven nights of thunder
The water's rising and I'm slipping under
I think I fell in love with the eighth world wonder (yeah)
I guess I'm just falling
Deeper into something I've never known (Yeah)
But the way that I'm feeling
Makes me realize that it can't be wrong
Your love's like summer rain
While it's flowing along the way," she continued singing, feeling her mom come back in with
her coffee and a small sandwich.
Muttering her thanks to her mom she drank some of the coffee and winced at how hot it was.
When she bit into the sandwich she felt her stomach quit yelling at her. Turning back to her
boyfriend she finished off the sandwich as her mom kissed her forehead.
"I'm going to go home and take care of dinner for the boys, then I'll be back, okay?" Ayaka
asked her daughter and she nodded.
"Okay Mom. See ya then, bring me a bit of the dinner?" Kagome asked thanking her mom when she
nodded.
"Seven days and seven nights of thunder
The water's rising and I'm slipping under
I think I fell in love with the eighth world wonder (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's only been a week but
It's more than enough for me
You're making me believe that
You're the one for me (yeah, yeah, oh no, ooh, oh, yeah, yeah)" Kagome sang when her mom was
gone, her hand clutching Miroku's once more.
"Seven days and seven nights of thunder
The water's rising and I'm slipping under
I think I fell in love with the eighth world wonder (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Seven days and seven nights of thunder
The water's rising and I'm slipping under
I think I fell in love with the eighth world wonder (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)" sang Kagome,
her heart jumping a bit when Miroku's hand clenched around her's a bit.
"Seven days and seven nights of thunder
The water's rising and I'm slipping under
I think I fell in love with the eighth world wonder (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Seven days and seven nights of thunder
The water's rising and I'm slipping under
I think I fell in love with the eighth world wonder (yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, oh, yeah)" with
the song finished Kagome looked up into Miroku's face, her tears falling down her cheeks at
a fast rate.
"Is that all?" Miroku muttered as he opened his eyes and Kagome just about screamed.
"Oh Miroku!" she cried out, her face lighting up a bit as she leaned down hugging him lightly
for fear of hurting him.
"I knew my angel was near. I tried to get back to you, it was hard though..." Miroku said, his
hand clenching hers tightly.
"But you got back, and...I need to tell you something." Kagome said and he looked worried for
a second.
"What, what is it, Kagome?" he asked, worry laced in his voice.
"I love you, I love you so much Miroku." she said and he sighed in relief.
"I love you too Kagome." he said tugging her down lightly to his face where he kissed her.

What, did you think I was going to make him die? No! Not ever going to happen! But there
will be another twist in chapters to come. I think I'll be getting some flames for them too...
Oh well, at least I'll know people are reading the story. Review if you want chapter 8.
