College? Yeah Right

Chapter 5

Jin was straddling on top of one of the men and was continuously punching and pounding. The man's face was covered in blood but what scared her most, was Jin's face.

Kagome wanted to help him, but her voice failed to leave her throat. She stood up on her wobbly knees and took small steps toward Jin, stumbling every so often. She flinched every time his fist hit the broken flesh. Kagome barely touched Jin on the shoulder when he whipped around, his fist heading straight for her face.

Kagome slammed her eyes shut and waited for the worst, images of the bloodied man's face flashed in front of her and fear shot up her spine. She waited, but nothing came.

Jin was ready to knock the next man into unconsciousness that dared to touch Kagome. He was blinded by his anger and his fist was inches from the person when Kagome's face flickered before him, covered with cuts, bruises, blood, and fear. He stopped and stared at her. She kept her eyes shut as he lowered his arm. He looked around at the men and disgust fell over his face but once his eyes returned to Kagome his face softened. He took a step forward and circled her in his arms, careful not to touch the wounds.

Jin closed his eyes and whispered into her ear. "Your safe now, Kagome."

To hear her own name was a joy and to have Jin back was a relief. She watched as he bent down and picked up her forgotten purse.

"So this was what you were after? I thought you were in danger." Jin looked at her.

Kagome's eyes bulged and she opened her mouth to argue but was cut off.

"We should go back. I suppose Kurama will have to scold me now." Jin took Kagome by the arm and led her back to the entrance of the mall. Kagome nodded her head and on the way back she noticed Jin was limping and was struggling to stay focused.

"Are you alright?" When Jin didn't answer Kagome placed a hand on his chest to bring him to a slight halt.

"I'm fine." Jin brushed the hand away glancing at Kagome's shaking form. Slipping his heavy coat off he gently wrapped it around her small frame.

"Th-thank you." Kagome wrapped his coat around her body and moved closer to Jin, wondering where her own coat had gone.

Sango and Kurama had eventually found each other and were waiting for them inside the entrance door, looking alert. Their faces changed quickly to surprise when they caught sight of the two. Kagome was holding a heavy coat closed and was trying to help steady Jin. They rushed out and Kurama grabbed Kagome while Sango suggested calling 911 and took off. Kurama pulled Kagome from the man's side. Jin felt the urge to pull her back but decided to let her go anyway. His head began to spin and his sight became blurry. A voice broke through his thoughts. His voice. And suddenly darkness fell upon him.

Kagome watched Jin fall to the hard pavement and struggled against Kurama to let her go. Once she got free she stumbled over and knelt down by Jin. She placed his head in her lap and looked down into Jin's face, noticing that it was amazingly white. Kagome felt a cold shiver crawl up her spine and in the distance she could hear the sirens of the ambulance.

Tears wielded up in Kagome's eyes as she watched the people strip Jin to the thin bed and raised him into the back of the ambulance. One of the them had informed Kurama that they had to take him to the emergency room immediately.

"What's wrong with him." Kagome asked as the tears streaked down his face.

The man blinked and waited for a few seconds, "Well, its hard to say..."

"What's wrong with him!" Kagome yelled getting more impatient with every second.

"It looks like he went through more stress than he could handle, and-- it has created some heart problems." The man looked down at his feet.

"Fatal?" Kagome whispered, her eyes slipping to the ground, not wanting to hear the answer.

The man hesitated, ..."Yes. Now please excuse me." The man quickly returned to the ambulance and drove off.

Kurama watched Kagome's face contort and saw the emotions of sadness and anger.

Kurama shook his head and tried to stay focus, 'She's not my problem.'

Sango had returned and was trying to calm Kagome down. After awhile, Kagome had become silent and her face was emotionless.

"Do you think he will die?" Kagome asked.

Sango stared at Kagome and didn't answer.

"No, he won't," Kurama glanced down at Kagome and smiled, "I promise he won't."

"Can we go to the hospital?" Sango asked.

"They took Jin to the emergency so we won't be able to see him tonight." Kurama looked back at Sango. "The best thing to do is get some sleep and try tomorrow."

"Well lets get going," Sango sighed and help Kagome up.

'Its going to be a long night.' Sango sighed again.

It had been three days since the accident, and every night Kagome dragged Sango and Kurama to the hospital and wouldn't leave until morning came. Jin twisted violently on his bed as 'His' voice ran rampage in his head. He suddenly woke up to find himself lying on a hospital bed. He looked around to find Kagome and Sango snoozing against the wall together. He stared at Kagome's sleeping face until he heard someone pulling on the door handle and then walking in. Jin looked over to see Kurama holding what looked like a cup of tea.

"Kurama?" Jin paused, "Wha- 'appened?"

"Well, You pretty much beat the lives out of some thugs after they had attacked Kagome." Kurama looked over at the figures leaning against each other.

Jin's memory hit him hard and he clutch his head with both hands. Images of blood flashed through his eyes as someone else's insane laugh filled his head. Next thing he knew, Kurama was shaking him vigorously.

"Hey, wake up. Are you okay?"

"Y-yeah, I'm fine."

"Here." Kurama handed him the cup, "Drink up."

Jin took a swig, and had a coughing fit, "Oi, what the hell is this stuff? I knew you held grudges against me, but I never would've thought, my best friend trying to poison me." Jin handed the cup back after it was empty.

"Very funny, I talked to my elder and he said that this will help you recover faster. You'll be as good as new in a few days. Just do me a favor and don't tell anyone."

"What did I have?"

"Heart problems."

Jin laid back down on the bed as a small laugh coursed from his throat. "Heart problems? He did this to me, and he's close, Kurama."

Kurama looked away from the girls and back to Jin, "How do you know?"

"He told me."

The room was silent except for the small stirring of the women.

"Get some sleep. I'll take these two back." He watched Jin nod and turned away.

Jin laid back down on the bed and pretended to be asleep, as Kurama woke the girls up and they left Jin in peace.

"Great. I'm already getting heart problems from a girl that I'm not even dating. Why doesn't she just rip my heart out and eat it?" Jin fell asleep mumbling to himself on the uncomfortable metal bed. "Saves me the pain."

Kagome sat in her science class ignoring all the pestering boys around her. Sango was in geometry with Kurama, no doubt they were having fun. Kagome's mind stayed on only one person for the past three days.

'When's he going to come back?' Kagome sighed as she heard the first bell signaling the beginning of class. Kagome just turned and gazed out the window. It was only 15 minutes into class when someone rudely interrupted, slamming the classroom door open.

"Oi, mates. Did ya' miss me?" A still-blue headed figure called to his fellow classmates.

Kagome looked up in surprise, as Jin walked over to his usual seat next to Kagome.

"Jin! Your back." Kagome stared in awe as relief flooded through her.

"Yeah, so I've heard." Jin smiled.

"Okay class. Settle down!" The teacher tried calming the class as he pulled down the screen projector, and class began once more.

"Hey! Look what the wind blew in." Inuyasha called from their lunch table.

"Hey Jin." Yusuke scooted over to make room between him and Kurama.

"'Ey kids, hope you didn't have too much fun without me."

"How could we? We were to busy mourning for you. We were sure you were gonna die." Botan said, earning a elbow in the gut from Kikyo.

"She means, We were mourning you condition." Keiko replied.

"Hn."

"Okay, enough about the mourning business. It's making me depressed." Jin stuck out his tongue.

"Hey we're going to a club tonight, found it two days ago. Couldn't tear Yusuke and Inuyasha away from it." Kuwabara cut in earning growls from both the latter subjects.

"And here I thought you guys were mourning over me." Jin pouted.

"No, we were just making that up to make you feel better." Kouga snorted across the table.

"Shut up." Sango knocked him over the head.

"Okay, back to the club thingy." Kagome urged the group.

"I heard 'Club Shikon 5' is going to have a special tonight!" Yukina smiled brightly.

"Ok, It's settled. Nine o' clock, don't get lost!" Inuyasha declared as the group stood up and separated when the bell ended lunch time.

"Oi, jus' out of the hospital and already partying." Jin walked with Kurama to their next class.

Four cars pulled up outside the club. First the loud and obnoxious car filled with: Yusuke, Kuwabara, Inuyasha, Miroku, and Kouga. Next the over excited party girl car filled with: Botan, Keiko, Kikyo, and Yukina. The typical lovey dovey car (Jin reaches out and punches the Announcer for his opinionated title.) filled with: Kagome, Jin, Kurama, and Sango. Then last but NOT least. The dead quiet car filled with none other than: Sesshoumaru and Hiei.

The 14 figures enter the loud club with the music bass pounding into their ears. They instantly picked a table by the bar and sent Kuwabara and Hiei to get the drinks. Typical, only one came back carrying half the drinks ordered. The group raised a questioning eyebrow when Kuwabara showed up with alcohol spilt all over him.

"Hey you twerp, how dare you!" Kuwabara dramatically pointed an accusing finger at Hiei.

"Next time you should watch where your stepping." Hiei glared daggers at him.

"It isn't my fault you're pint size and I couldn't see where I was going."

"Just shut up and go get us the rest of our drinks." Yusuke shouted.

Within three hours everyone had their fair share of alcohol except Kurama, Sesshoumaru, and Hiei who gladly handed theirs to Yusuke or Inuyasha. After a few dances everyone was winding down and was ready to leave the pounding club. That's when the situation came on who was driving who. This is how it went. Hiei ended up driving the girls in Botan's car that included: Hiei, Botan, Keiko, Yukina, and Kikyo. Sesshoumaru drove his own car and growled at the fact that he was being stuck with the annoying Kuwabara, Miroku, and Kouga, also the quiet Touya (Whose friends left him behind with a group of girls that just screamed torture.) Although, Kurama was having trouble trying to cram Inuyasha, Yusuke, Jin, Kagome, AND Sango into his car.

Inuyasha sat up front with Kurama while Kagome sat on Jin's lap and Sango sat in between Jin and Yusuke, giggling her head off. Obviously drunk like the rest of them. It was only five minutes down the road when sirens went off and Kurama was pulled over. Probably cause Inuyasha kept grabbing the steering wheel. Kurama came to a stop and pulled down his window as the officer came up.

"Please hand me your license and registration." the Police gruffly stated.

"Ah, sure." Kurama handed them over.

Inuyasha poked his head over Kurama's lap to look at the officer, "'Ey officer, can I buy you a donut?" Remembering the corning cop jokes Yusuke had brought up in their fifth hour.

"Excuse me?" The officer glared at him.

"That gut doesn't inspire too much confidence, bet I can out run you." Yusuke spouted off.

"Okay! Out of the car!" The officer yelled as he pulled out his handcuffs.

"I bet your wife likes those handcuffs." Sango caught on and giggled when Kurama tried shutting her up.

"Guys! Please!" Kurama turned back to the officer, "I'm sorry they're a little drunk."

"This is just a warning." The fat cop eyed everyone. "Next time, You and your friends are going to be busted for driving all over the damn road."

"That's terrific, the last guy only gave us a warning also." Jin laughed.

"He's- just kidding." Kurama chuckled nervously as the cop started walking away and turned around and hit Jin over the head.

"'Ey! What the hell was that for mate?"

"We could've been thrown in jail!" Kurama screech.

"Oh Kurama, Kurama, Kurama." Sango laughed and flung her arms around Kurama's shoulder and started twirling his hair with her fingers inching her face closer and closer making Kurama blush and then she yanked on his long red locks. "Let off and lets have some fun!" The whole drunken group in cheered.

Once they reached the college the gang gathered back up before heading down the halls making a huge racket at 1 o'clock in the middle of the night. People started poking their heads out the doors and yelling after the group. The all ended up crashing in Yusuke and Inuyasha's dorm. And chattered among themselves until everyone passed out.
