Hi!
I was just reading over chapters 1 and 2 and realized how incredibly short they both were... and it made me feel really bad. I feel like such cheap authoress. I can give no excuses because I have none. I guess I just felt that those were the best spots to leave them. And I'm really sorry. I just... well I dont know. Well, sorry... Dont hate me! Sorry.

Chapter 3 - Hospital Troubles

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

"She's waking up!" She heard a voice shout.

"Ms Higurashi! Come quick!" Another voice called.

Kagome opened her eyes and her gaze immediately met that of a pair of amber eyes.

"Kagome…" He whispered.

Kagome? Is that my name? The girl wondered.She tried to move her hand but a sharp pain shot up through her arm. She gasped in pain.

"What's wrong?" The amber-eyed boy exclaimed his voice coated with worry.

Where am I? Who am I? Who is he? Who are all these people?

"Oh, Kagome!" Cried a woman. She came rushing over and bent down to kiss the girl's forehead.

"We thought… We thought that we were going to lose you!" The lady bent down and gave her another kiss. "Poor Inuyasha has been sitting here for hours."

Inuyasha? Is that this guy's name?

"W-Who are you?" She croaked.

"What? Who am I? I'm you're mother!" The woman said.

"Mother? I-I don't u-understand." She stopped to take a breath. Her breath was short and raspy. She continued, "W-Where am I?"
The woman's face became worried and she whispered to the amber-eyed boy. She left the room suddenly.

The girl took the time to study the boy. He had his back turned to her He looked strange with his long silver hair and those amber eyes. He wore a funny looking hat over his head and an old t-shirt with sweat pants.

She was hit with a sudden feeling deja-vu.

"Inu-yasha?" She asked out loud.

The boy turned around with such suddenness she nearly jumped.

"Hai?" He asked, his eyes looking excited. She noticed the beads around his neck. She felt the urge to say something, she didn't know why but she had to say it.

"Osuwari." She commanded.

The boy was slammed into the floor.

Unexpectedly, memories flooded into her mind. Memories of the final battle with Naraku, her meeting with Midoriko, her friends and life in the past, but most of all, memories of Inuyasha.

Inuyasha pulled himself and ran up to the bed.

"Inuyasha!" She cried her voice cracking. "Gomen ne sai! I didn't mean to. I just couldn't remember and I felt an urge to say that…"
"Oh… Kagome… I don't care. It just matters that you're alive." He pulled up a chair and sat beside her, pulling her hand into his own. He held it with care, making sure not to bend her arm. He looked into her eyes, as he moved his face closer to hers.

"Dr. Hiwon! She didn't recognize me. Come see!" Inuyasha quickly jerked away, a blush rising to his cheeks.

"Mama!" Kagome cried excitedly.

"Kagome?" A puzzled look crossed her mother's face.

"Mama! I remember!" She cried, trying to prop herself up on her elbows, despite the throbbing pain that consumed her body. "Uhn… Ow!"

Inuyasha immediately grabbed her back to keep her from falling.

"Arigato." She said quietly.

"Kagome…" Her mother rushed over to her side. "Don't try and push yourself to hard. Just lie down."

"Ms Higurashi," The doctor said quickly, "We need to do a few more tests. Would you mind waiting out in the hallway?"

Her mother nodded and motioned for Inuyasha to follow.

"I'm not leaving her." He stated simply.

"But, sir, you must." The doctor said.

"No."

"Inuyasha… It's ok, just go." Kagome told him.

He shook his head and said to her, "I'm not letting you out of my sight again."

-What does he mean?- She wondered.

"Fine. You can stay, but please try to keep out of the way." Inuyasha shook his head and laid Kagome down. He stood up and stretched as the doctor checked Kagome's eyes.

"So, Mr… Uh…" The doctor started.

"Inuyasha." He said.

"Mr Inuyasha… Do you know how these injuries were inflicted upon Ms Higurashi? There are so many of them. And they vary from burns to broken bones. I just can put together a scenario."

Inuyasha looked at Kagome for answers.

Kagome mouthed the word 'fight.'

"Fight."

"A fight? Do you know with whom? Have you contacted the police? Have charges been pressed?"

"Charges? Pol-leece?" He said, stretching the word out.

Kagome had taught Inuyasha a little about her world, but nothing like this. She had never thought he would need to know it. She'd thought a situation like this very, very unlikely.

He gave her a look that said, help me.

"You'll h-have to t-talk to my mother… Inuyasha, uh," She managed to say, her voice reduced to a mere whisper, "He has a m-mental condition. H-he has short term memory l-loss. He forgets common things."

Inuyasha nodded his head in agreement.

"Hai." The doctor said, "Well you're in stable condition right now. I just have a few questions. That is, if you're up to talking?"

"I think…" She began to cough, her chest heaving, as she tried to regain her breath.

"I think you should rest." He said, beginning to walk to the door.

"No. I'm ok." She told him, her voice sounding much better.

"If you're sure…"

"I am."

"Alright. Maybe you could tell me what happened." He suggested, while looking at the different monitors around the bed… "Then I might have some clue as to how you aqquired all of those injuries. It would help us to better, uh, accommodate you in the treatment."

Kagome coughed lightly before replying, "I can't really remember much from before I woke up."

"That's common. When a victim's level of consciousness is diminished to a very low level, they will often lose memory of the last 10-15 minutes before."

Ha! He believed me! She thought, triumphantly.

"Well, if that's all?" He asked.

"H-hai."

"I'll be going. I need to get going to have these tests processed. I'll send a nurse in later to check on you. Just press the button on your left if you need anything." With that, he turned sharply and left the room.

He stopped outside to talk with her mother. She saw them through the window. She turned her head a touch so that she could see Inuyasha.

"What happened?" She asked quietly.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, before looking away.

"Inuyas-"

He placed a finger on her lips.

She immediately went silent, her heart beginning to race.

"Be quiet. Don't talk." The hanyou instructed.

After a moment of silence, her mother burst through the door, running to Kagome's side.

"He said you told him that Inuyasha has short term memory loss! I don't believe he actually fell for it!" She exclaimed.

"Shhh…" Kagome said, motioning to Inuyasha's dream like state.

Her mother looked confused, but Inuyasha broke the silence.

"It's ok now. He's got demons here. I don't know how, but I'm positive."

"Nani?!" Kagome shouted, before breaking into another coughing fit. Her mother patted her arm, while encouraging her to cough. Finally, she stopped.

"Tell me what happened." She asked. Kagome tilted her head, and looked at Inuyasha, her eyes demanding answers. She looked strangely like her mother, both had the same expressions.

He paused before he said, "About the battle?"

"Yes."
