Naraku's eyes were blood shot red as he sat on a chair next to the hospital bed, where Kagome was sleeping in. Her family visited a lot, but Naraku had decided to stay. Many of the slutty nurses tried to flirt with him, but he was in such a sour mood, he would snap at anyone who came near him. He got up and walked to the table, which had many flowers and get well cards, nearby the window and picked up a cup filled with coffee and took a sip.

A coma....

She was in a coma. She had fell in a coma after the incident on Christmas Eve. And she still was lost in it with life support on her. It was already the beginning of February. Naraku then sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the peaceful Kagome. She was simply beautiful, yet... would she be in this coma forever of would she live to see the next day? Naraku traced her face with his fingertips and let out a sigh. He didn't care if he rotted as long as he got to stay here to see her every single day.

Suddenly, Miroku and Sango entered the room. "Hey..." Sango said to Naraku as she put down a bouquet filled with roses onto the table. Over the time, Naraku became somewhat of friends with Miroku and Sango. "Hello.." Naraku said softly. Miroku sat next to Naraku,. "How's she doing?" He asked softly. "Still the same..." Naraku said sourly. "You know it's almost Valentine's..." Miroku said. "So?" Naraku snapped. "She wouldn't want you to be alone on that day..." Miroku said as he got up and left the room.

Sango then put a hand on Naraku's shoulders. "Miroku's only telling the truth you know.." She said. "None of us want you to be alone, but... the doctors... they're talking about pulling the plug, Naraku." Sango then left the room. Naraku let out a growl and stared at Kagome. "They'll have to fight me first..." He muttered.

A few weeks had passed and Naraku laid on a cot that the doctors offered to him. It was almost Valentine's day. The clock shown 11:55. Naraku decided to count down, for tomorrow was the day when the doctor's had decided to pull the plug. Without the life support, Kagome would have a few hours left and then die in her sleep. Naraku didn't want them to, but what could they do? They couldn't keep Kagome like this forever...

Naraku noticed that the time now shown 11:58. Two more minutes.... Naraku let out a yawn and decided to drift off to sleep only to hear something odd. A kind of whimpering sound. He quickly got up. That's when he found a shivering Kagome, sitting on the bed. His eyes lit up. "Kagome..." He said happily. He walked up to her and hugged her. Kagome then looked confused. "Who... are you?" She asked suddenly. Her fingers running through his hair. Naraku suddenly looked confused and heart broken.

"You do not remember...?" Naraku asked. His hope had just gone down the drain. Naraku slowly let go of her. "I..." Naraku started out. "I'll leave..." He said and got up. "No! Wait..." He heard her say as he halted. "I.... I only remember Inuyasha with Kikyo and then I ran..." She said. Naraku suddenly realized that she only remembered what happen before she was hit by Kouga's car. "You were hit by a car and were in a coma..." He said partly lying. "Oh..." Kagome said thoughtfully. "I should be going..." Naraku said, but was interrupted when the clock struck twelve.

"What's the date today?" Kagome asked suddenly. "It'sValentine's day." Naraku said as he made his way to the door. "Wait, don't you want to stay?" Kagome asked. Naraku stopped once more. "No one should be alone on Valentine's day." She said and patted a seat next to her on the small hospital bed. Naraku took a seat and stared at Kagome. "I'm Kagome." She said a she held out her hand. Naraku took it and kissed it. "Naraku." Kagome blushed. "Naraku..." She said tasting the name. "I like it..." She smiled at him.

--"Where to?" She asked. Naraku let out a genuine smile as he said "Where the wind takes us."--

--"Nothing good comes from anything that can blind you." Was all he said. Kagome smiled a bit as she tried to hold back her laughter. "Your weird." She finally said managing not to laugh. "It's better then being the same." Was all the goth said.--

--"Uh...hmmm..." She blushed a bit. "Do you... think of me... as your...?" "Girlfriend." He finished her off. She turned a brighter red then before. She looked down ar her shoes embarrassed. "Yes." He said relieved that she was the first one to ask.--

--"What do you want for Christmas, pookey?" She asked and giggled at the pet name she gave him. He let out a small growl at her giggling. He then let out a sigh and said, "Nothing... I have exactly what I want right here.."--

--"Naraku?" She asked in surprised. She then had a dreamy look upon her face. "He's probably my soul mate."--

--"He told me... to tell you... that you are one lucky man." She said softly. Naraku was relieved to know that nothing dangerous happened to her. He kneeled on the floor and buried his face on her neck. "I know I am..."--

--"I love you..." He hesitated, but soon filled her completely. "I love you too."--

Naraku let out a sad smile.

To Remember....

End...
