Hey guys, really really sorry for the long long no updating. My laptop broke, and we moved to Maryland, much fun. So, I won't have a lot of distractions, except school. But our Midterms are over and the only hard testing would be finals, so I'm not real worried. I'm sorry to the reviewers that hoped for the next chapter in record time or something. But, I was busy and my stupid laptop was finally fixed. So we now have two computers, a new one also. Well, here goes the chapter and my okay disclaimer. Thanks, seeya!

Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha or the series.

Chapter 7 – A welcome home and a slight chance of life

"Inuyasha!" Sango and Miroku exclaimed happily. They stood, happy to have one of there friends back at least. This made Shippou wake up. Inuyasha gave a slight smile, holding the black thing in his hands, then almost being tackled by Shippou.

"Hey squirt." Inuyasha said kindly and put Shippou onto his shoulder.

Shippou looked to him, hugging his arm. "InuYasha you're back!"

"Yea…" Inuyasha gave a mutter, then looked to Sango and Miroku. "May I have a word with you two?" Inuyasha asked. Sango and Miroku nodded. Shippou being with Keade.

Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku sat in the room. Inuyasha held out the black thing. "Kagome's sick…with something called a coma…" Sango and Miroku were a bit confused, but knew that it was bad by the look in Inuyasha's eyes. "She won't wake up…and we've tried everything. We need you guys to say something to her in this…" He held out the recorder a little more. "I'll get Shippou to say something to Kagome a bit later after you two do." Inuyasha explained. Sango and Miroku gave a nod. "Alright…" The two of them said in unison. Sango looked toward the thing, tears in her eyes, her best friend couldn't leave her. Kagome was always there for Sango at hard times, everyone was, they always comforted her. Sango spoke into the recorder.

"…Kagome, wake up… You're my best friend, and I can't lose you. None of us can lose you. We'll always be here for you."

Sango almost cried as Inuyasha pushed the stop button. Miroku gently hugged Sango, running his hand in her hair. Miroku spoke into the recorder as well.

"Lady Kagome… we need you back. Who's going to say 'sit' when Inuyasha gets bad."

Miroku gave a smile and then continued hugging Sango. Inuyasha gave a frown, but didn't care, if it could help Kagome in anyway, he would do it. Inuyasha gave a slight smile. "Thank you…" He muttered. "I'm going to go back, after I get Shippou's voice and then take this to Kagome." Inuyasha turned. "When she wakes up, I'll come back..." Inuyasha lowered his head. Hoping for his love to come back.

InuYasha grabbed his hat from Mrs.Higurashi's house. Then on his way to the hospital again. He knew exactly where it was and where he would go when he got there. Mrs. Higurashi told Inuyasha that she might be shopping, so he would be on his own for now. He entered the hospital quarters and stared at the ground, the others looking at him. He went into Kagome's room and stared at her body. Her skin was her regular color, but she was still cold and weak. He stepped fore ward, a little closer. Then going to her, pulling up the chair to her bed. Then pulling the recorder from his haori. He took her hand and gently squeezed it. "I hope this works…" Inuyasha stared down to Kagome. Then pressed the play button, everything that Shippou, Sango, and Miroku, even Inuyasha said something. The recorded repeated Inuyasha's voice. "Kagome… I…I'm sorry… If I didn't go with Kikyou…this would of never happened. I love you… I hope you know that…" The recorder stopped and Inuyasha watched with hope. Kagome stayed silent, but her hand gently squeezed his back. "Kagome!" Inuyasha stared down to her. Then nuzzled to her cheek, his ears twitching underneath his cap as he felt her breath go through the hat and into his ears. His body gave a tremble, then he nuzzled his head into her shoulder. Closing his eyes to inhale her scent. Gently exhaling, he fell asleep.
