This is the rest of the previous chapter, I accidentally cut it off… Sorry…
Dawn was fast approaching, he would have to leave before it rose, but he didn't want to. All he wanted was to curl up in a ball and cry. But demons his age aren't allowed to cry, at least not where anyone could see them. So he did the only thing he could, he remained where he was and at first planned his revenge, then as time slowly ticked by, he thought of all the times Kagome and he spent together.
A doctor had come in to check on Kagome's progress and told him bluntly that he had to leave. Inuyasha responded by saying he had every right to be here and he wasn't leaving. The doctor was going to call security, but Inuyasha said, "Kagome's everything I have. I can't leave until I know she'll live, even if it's only this night." The doctor was not completely unsympathetic to the young man, but Kagome's bandages had to be changed and her body checked over to see if healing was indeed taking place. The doctor told him this, and Inuyasha told the doctor that he had seen damage be done before; he wasn't leaving Kagome's side, at least not before dawn.
The doctor did call security then, but as a precaution, no telling how this one would react. Then informed him that he had to stay out of the way, if he interfered, the security guards will escort him out of the hospital. Inuyasha nodded and stepped back to allow the doctor to begin. But Inuyasha stayed within arms reach, in case Kagome reached for him in pain. The was no doubt that she would be in pain during the changing of her bandages.
Somehow the nurses must have known exactly when they were needed because without them being called they came into the room. Soon there were all over the place and Inuyasha was ushered back where he could barely see the bed Kagome was lying in. He did see, however, how badly her body was littered with gashes. His blood began to run hot again, but he remained still. If he made any inclination that he was going to interfere, they would kick him out. He had to stay and see this. He had to have these images burned into his mind so when he found that demon, he could justify the torture he had planned for it.
They moved to remove the bandages from her head and he slowly inched as close as he could to her. The doctor held a small tube in front of Kagome's face and then a small light came on. It threw a harsh light on her, but her face was the least marked part of her body. So they didn't cut off her hair. It did occur to him that this should not be even the slightest bit important but in a way it was. He spent so many nights watching the firelight on her hair, and her fidgeting with it when she wanted him to do something for her.
The sun was being to rise; he really would have to leave her now. His canines were beginning to come through. His hair was probably already beginning to lighten. With a heavy but determined heart he turned and quietly left the room. Inuyasha stayed with his hand still on the door for a small moment more, promising to both of them to come back soon. When he turned he saw the boy standing there. Hojo looked at him as if he should know who Inuyasha was, but was unable to place him.
"Are the doctor's in there now?" Hojo asked.
"Yes. I'm leaving now but tell Kagome I'll be back for her soon."
"Come back for her? She can't leave the hospital yet. Who are you?"
"Inuyasha." with that said he continued on his way out. Hojo stood there shocked for a moment. But knowing how Kagome had survived the night banished this encounter from his mind. Hojo went to the nurses' station and inquired on how Kagome was doing. The nurse told him the doctor was with her now, and it will be at least three hours before he will allow anyone in to see her again.
Shippo had returned with the promised food. Kouga well, he wolfed it down. His body may have healed the damage but he still needed energy if he was to hunt down Inuyasha. Shippo had told him that his two wolf friends had come into the village and were looking for him. Miroku and Sango were telling them what had happened. Kouga got up and headed for the village.
When they reached Kaede's hut, Kouga had stated he was going in search of Inuyasha so they can find out how Kagome's doing. Ginta and Hakaku, his companions asked if he would need them to follow him. Kouga didn't really want anyone else along, but he reasoned the more that were looking for dog-turd, the quicker they will be at finding him. With that said, Kouga took off in a cloud of dust and the others soon joined in. Shippo had no intention of being left behind and stated as much to Miroku and Sango. They took him with them.
