Chapter 6: After the Smoke

Princess Sango

Inuyasha stared at her; she looked pale, all too pale. Kagome's mom was dead as he knew it. As Souta sat there, staring at Kagome and his mom, he seemed quiet. Ever since Souta came home, and decided to set the house on fire, Inuyasha was so mad at him. Inuyasha was lucky, since Kagome was a hanyou, and he asked the villager's finally if they had seen Kagome. Which they hadn't, and the scent finally went away from the house.

The ambulance came around the corner and declared Mrs. Higurashi dead, and Kagome in critical condition. She was sent to a private hospital and Souta was charged in arsonist and murder, highest degree. Inuyasha didn't say any comment, and wasn't planning on doing it either. Souta dug his own grave, let him lie in it.Kara, Inuyasha Jr., and Inuya looked at Inuyasha and Souta in confusion. They really had no idea, and Inuyasha would fill them in later. Sango and Miroku had come to take the kids over to there house. Inuyasha went with Kagome to the hospital, and told them that what ever they felt necessary would be fine with him.

1 hour later...

Kagome was aloud to be seen, but only by family that she had named. Inuyasha walked straight in, to see Kagome less pale, and looking a lot better than the condition he found her in. Kagome was lying down and she stared at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha..."

Inuyasha looked at her and smiled, "I'm here now, how you doing?"

"Better then I felt for the last nine days." She gave a faint smile, "Inuyasha, how did you find me?"

Inuyasha smiled, "You're scent, after everything burned, you're scent came to me. So I rushed inside the house and rescued you from the basement."

"Is my mom...?"

He nodded sadly, "Dead, she died."

Kagome had tears going down her face. "Why are you crying?"

"I was crying because we never ended it. She died thinking I hated her with all my heart."

Inuyasha grabbed her and hugged her, "Of course she wouldn't! Why would you think that?"

"She said it to me, Inuyasha..." Inuyasha looked at her, "We're together now Kagome, your mom is in a better place."

Kagome nodded, "Inuyasha, what will happen now?"

Inuyasha shook his head, "I'm not sure. I'm so glad you're okay though." He held her and rocked her, "I love you too much to be angry. Kagome..."

Kagome coughed for two minutes. "Inuyasha...please stay here until I fall asleep. Please, Inuyasha."

She looked like a child there, eyes wide and everything. Inuyasha nodded and held her hand gingerly, "Yes."

Kagome smiled before slipping into dream land. Inuyasha didn't move, not yet, he wanted to stay as close to her as possible. Meanwhile Sango was already having the baby down the hall. Resulting in Kara, Inuyasha Jr., and Inuya to come visit Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked at them and smiled, "Don't worry, mommy will be fine."
