Kyuuka's AN: Well...yeah. Here's the next chapter. Don't exactly know what it's going to be about yet, but oh well. I was happy that we got 4 reviews! Yes, any kind of reviews make me feel special!
Disclaimer: As much as I want to own Inuyasha...I don't. Oh yeah, neither does Cheesecake.
Last Chapter:
"HENTAI!" she screamed backing away. "Your head must be more damaged than I first thought!" she growled pointing a shaking finger at him.
Miroku sighed. "Sadly I have been like this all my life," he said in a dramatic tone. "The only way to cure me...is for you to bear me a child," he finished, managing to grasp her hands in his. The vein in Kagome's head seemed to get bigger as she pulled her hands out of his grasp and smacked him as hard as she could on his head, effectively knocking him out. Satisfied with her strength, she continued to unwrap his head. Using the Neosporin, she dabbed at the small gash on his forehead before rewrapping it. She then repeated the procedure with his side. Sighing, she threw away the old bandages and decided to just leave the Neosporin on the table; he would probably need it later if he did that to all the female nurses. She left the room and quickly found Dr. Kaede to finish working on the patients.
The Hospital
Chapter 2: Waking and Escaping
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP! Kagome groaned and rolled over, shoving the pillow over her head to block out the annoying beeping of her alarm clock. To add to the annoying sound, a knock sounded on the door.
"Kagome, dear, you're going to be late for school if you don't get up," came the voice of Kagome's mom. Kagome groaned again and pressed the pillow harder over her ears. About a minute later, another knock sounded at the door.
"Kagome, Mom said if you don't wake up now then you're not getting breakfast," Souta's voice filtered through the door. Kagome groaned a 3rd time before finally removing the pillow and slamming her fist down on her alarm clock, effectively turning it off. She yawned and stretched and sat up in bed before turning her attention back to her dented alarm clock. She had plenty of time to get ready for school, especially since she took nightly showers instead of morning showers. She stood up and made her way to her closet. Opening the door she quickly pulled open a drawer before examining its contents. Shaking her head she closed the drawer and opened the one above it, where all her school uniforms were. Grabbing a uniform, she quickly changed her clothes and ran a brush through her hair before tiredly walking downstairs.
"It's nice of you to join us, Kagome," her mom said, placing a plate of bacon on the table.
"Sorry, I guess I'm just a little tired," she responded before taking her place at the table.
"It's that hospital work she's doing," interjected her grandfather. "My granddaughter was not meant to work in a hospital." Kagome smiled before serving herself some eggs, bacon, toast and a glass of orange juice. She looked at her watch before her eyes widened. Quickly stuffing her face with a little bit of everything and grabbing a piece of toast for the road, she grabbed her bad and ran out the door.
"Wow, she's in a hurry," commented Souta as he stuck a forkful of eggs in his mouth.
Kagome ran down the sidewalk, furiously chewing her food. She rounded a corner and swallowed and continued running while stuffing the toast in her mouth. Rounding another corner she finished chewing that and swallowed it too. She ran up to a house and rang the doorbell. There were a few shouts and then some thumps and a crash before an out of breath Sango answered the door. She was haphazardly dressed with her shirt on backwards and her skirt on inside out. Her hair was tussled and her eyes sported dark rings under them. She was yawning and holding her brother's backpack over her shoulder. Kagome smiled before bursting out in uncontrolled laughter. Sango scowled.
"What is so funny, Kagome?" she questioned, "I'll have you know I just woke up 2 seconds ago and am in a grouchy mood." Kagome held her laughter for a while in order to explain.
"Well I could tell," she answered, still grinning, "You look like you still are asleep." Sango gave her a quizzical look before walking back into the house in order to find a mirror. Kagome followed, knowing it would be alright. Sango reached the bathroom and looked in the mirror before her eyes widened. Her face flushed in embarrassment and she quickly ran upstairs. Kagome made herself comfortable on the couch and in a few minutes, Sango came down, looking much better than before. Her shirt and skirt were on right and her hair was brushed. She also switched to her own backpack but this time, her face looked evilly happy. Kagome gulped and dashed to the door. Sango quickly followed, but Kagome had already run out of the house. Sango stopped at the doorway and emitted an evil laugh before chasing after Kagome again. Kagome quickly reached the school and ran inside. She looked around and burst into her homeroom, earning a few looks from some early students. Kagome smiled nervously before making her way to her seat in the back of room. She ducked when she heard the door burst open. She cautiously peeked her head above the desk to see an angry Sango staring right at her.
"Eek!" Kagome squeaked before ducking once again. But it was too late, Sango had already seen her and was making her way over.
"BOO!" came a voice from behind Kagome. She jumped and turned around only to find a laughing Sango. "You're so gullible," she managed to say in between laughs while rolling on the floor. Kagome sweat dropped.
"It wasn't that funny," Kagome said standing up and dusting herself off. Sango got up, still smiling and sat down at her desk.
"Oh lighten up, it was too funny," she retorted, rolling her eyes. Kagome decided to change the subject.
"So are you gonna come to the hospital with me today?" she asked hopefully. Sango sighed before resigning herself.
"Fine, but if I get bored I'm leaving," she said. Kagome laughed.
"Oh trust me, you won't be bored!" Kagome retorted while letting out a silent laugh.

Kagome entered the hospital a little more confident than she had the last couple of days. Sango, on the other hand, was very cautious. She hid behind the entrance door as if someone was going to attack her. Kagome laughed as she turned around and saw a nervous Sango.
"Come on, Sango, like you said, there's nothing to worry about," urged Kagome, grabbing her friend's arm and half dragging her to the front counter. "Dr. Kaede, this is Sango," Kagome said, jerking a thumb in Sango's direction, oblivious to the glare sent her way. Dr. Kaede nodded in understanding.
"She can help you today, then. Miroku's been giving us more trouble today than ever," she explained leading them to Inuyasha's room first. "This is more of a one man job," Dr. Kaede said, "Sango, can you help with Miroku instead?" she asked.
Sango gulped but she didn't want to seem scared. "Sure thing, just lead me to him!" she said with false confidence. Dr. Kaede smiled before leading Sango down the hall. Sango sent a 'Help me!' look to Kagome before Kagome smiled and waved and entered the room.
Kagome sighed as she looked at the seemingly asleep hanyou. He just seemed so innocent! Who would want to hurt him that much? Kagome shook her head to rid it of its thoughts and took out the Neosporin and bandages. She repeated the monotonous procedure she'd gotten used to. While dabbing the Neosporin onto Inuyasha's wounds, though, she swore she saw him flinch! She shook her head and mentally berated herself. She must be more tired than she thought! She finished cleaning the wound and began wrapping him. Suddenly she heard a groan of pain. She jumped and looked wildly around the room. There was no one else in the room, so where had that noise come from. Her eyes widened in realization and she turned around to see the patient sitting up in bed and rubbing his eyes. Kagome opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out. Inuyasha dropped his hands and turned his head to her.
"Oi, wench, where am I?" he questioned her. Kagome only registered the 'wench' part and it immediately set her off.
"I am not a wench! I'll have you know that I've been tending to your wounds for these past couple of days and was in the process of bandaging you when you scared me half to death!" she managed to shout in one breath.
"Feh! I don't need anyone to help me!" he argued as he unwrapped the bandages and tried to stand. He doubled over in pain when he put all his weight on his feet. Concern was immediately etched in Kagome's features and she helped him back onto the bed.
"You're not fully healed yet! You need to keep these bandages on!" she berated him while attempting to rewrap his wounds. Inuyasha, however, kept trying to get her away from him.
"Will you stop it, wench!? I told you, I don't need help! Not yours, not anyone's!" he shouted, standing up successfully.
"I told you, my name is not wench! It's Kagome!" she retorted, throwing down the bandages in anger.
"Fine, Kagome," he said, annunciating her name, "Just tell me where the nearest exit is, and that's all the help I'll ever need from you," he finished, crossing his arms over his chest.
"I'm not going to tell you where the exit is because you're not leaving until I get my community service hours!" she yelled in his face. Inuyasha wasn't used to girls who told him what to do so this knocked him off guard. He scowled and sat back down on the bed, allowing Kagome to finish her job. When Kagome was done, she plastered a smile on her face.
"It was nice to finally meet your personality, Inuyasha, but I must get going. I'll tell Dr. Kaede you're awake and," she added, noticing he was growling, "if you keep growling like that, I can just knock you unconscious again and no one would ever know you woke up!" she declared.
"Feh, someone like you couldn't knock me off balance, let alone unconscious," he argued. He immediately regretted it as soon as he saw Kagome's eyes flicker with malice.
"So you think I'm weak, is that it!?" she roared. "Well let's just see how weak I really am!" she yelled, swinging her fist. Inuyasha was too stunned to move and her fist knocked him onto his back and out of consciousness. Kagome smiled and cleaned up a bit before leaving the room, a little happier than when she had first walked in.

Dr. Kaede led Sango upstairs to Miroku's room, but stopped her before she went in. "Now, Miroku is behaving a little bolder today, so you might want to take this," she explained, handing Sango some pepper spray. Sango stared at the tiny bottle in her hand quizzically before Dr. Kaede urged her into the room and left. Sango shook off her confusion and looked at the patient.
"Why, hello there! It's always nice to see a new beautiful face!" he said, flashing a grin. This only angered Sango and she narrowed his eyes at him.
"Don't talk, just point me to the Neosporin and bandages," ordered Sango, remembering how Kagome had once said it took a while to find the stuff. Miroku sighed and pointed to one of the lower cabinets next to his bed. Sango bent down to open it but froze when she felt an unfamiliar presence on her lower backside. She whipped around and backhanded Miroku before she remembered about the pepper spray. 'Oh well, too late now,' she thought, glaring at the unconscious hentai. She found cleaning and bandaging wounds wasn't too hard and quickly finished. She was about to leave when she had a sudden idea. She opened one of Miroku's eyes and sprayed the pepper spray, earning a sudden shriek of pain as she left. 'Just for kicks,' she thought evilly as she left the room.

Kagome was rounding a corner when she bumped into someone. She looked up, about to yell at the person for not watching where they were going, but stopped and smiled.
"Oh hey Sango! How'd it go?" she asked in a cheery tone.
"It went rather well!" responded Sango in an equally cheery tone. They both stopped and looked at each other before breaking out in smiles.
"You knocked out Miroku, didn't you?" asked Kagome with an all-knowing smile plastered on her lips. Sango nodded eagerly.
"But if you're as happy as me...you must have knocked someone out too, but I thought Inuyasha was in a coma?" questioned Sango.
"Yes, Inuyasha was in a coma," said Kagome, winking at her friend.
"Why'd you knock him out?" Sango asked.
"He was being a total jerk, but I think I might have knocked some sense into him," responded Kagome happily as the two made their way to the exit. Today had been better than they both thought it might be.

Inuyasha groggily opened his eyes and rubbed his head. That Kagome girl had quite a punch! He slowly sat up and looked around. There was no clock, but the window outside told him it was nighttime. He got up and swiftly searched for his clothes. Not finding them, he grabbed the hospital blanket and wrapped it around him like a cape before jumping out the window and into the night. "Sesshomaru will pay," he said to himself as he jumped from rooftop to rooftop.

Sango and Kagome were laughing and slurping sodas as they walked down the streetlamp lit sidewalk. The movie they had just seen was hilarious and they were heading home. They would've driven a car but neither of them had their licenses and they didn't really like public transportation, so they decided walking was their best bet since they lived pretty close by anyway.
"Did you see how she just popped up in the mirror?" kidded Kagome.
"Yes, I saw, you know that's the only part where I screamed though," Sango retorted.
"Hahahaha, you should've seen your face!" Kagome teased.
"At least I didn't squirm when she broke her nail off her finger," slipped in Sango, knowing her friend got pretty queasy when stuff like that happened.
"Hey, if you broke your whole nail off your finger, I'd get queasy over that too," argued Kagome.
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"I don't know," shrugged Kagome. She turned her attention upwards and studied the top of a nearby building. "Did you see that, Sango?"
"See what?" answered Sango, looking in the same direction as Kagome.
"Come on, let's follow it," suggested Kagome as she grabbed Sango's arm and ran down an alley.
"Kagome, I don't think this is such a good idea," countered Sango, "What if some crazy psycho with a chainsaw sees us or something?" she asked worriedly. Kagome rolled her eyes.
"You watch too many scary movies," she complained. "Besides, we're not hurting anyone, right?"
"Uh...I guess."
"Then we'll be fine, come on," Kagome urged her friend to run faster as she let go of her arm. Sango sighed and continued following her friend, turning down dark streets and alleys.

Inuyasha narrowed his eyes as he continued on his journey. Sniffing the air, he found he was being followed. One of the scents smelled vaguely familiar, but he couldn't quite place it. He decided the best thing to do was to lie low until they gave up. Crouching low on a building, he quietly crept to the edge and looked down at his followers. They suddenly stopped and looked around. One turned and spoke to the other and the 2nd one sighed in response before turning and walking out of the alleyway followed by the other.
Certain they wouldn't come back, Inuyasha jumped the last couple of buildings and slipped into his apartment window. Looking out one last time, he closed it and shut the blinds. Sighing, he walked over to his kitchen and turned on the light. He opened a cupboard and pulled out a pack of instant ramen. Smiling, he boiled the water and turned on his stereo. Flipping through the stations, a song caught his attention.
Sometimes, I wish I was brave
Wish I was stronger
Wish I could feel no pain
I wish I was young
Wish I was shy
Wish I was honest
Wish I was you not I
"Not completely true, but not bad either," Inuyasha commented on the song as he made his way back to the kitchen.
'Cause I feel so mad
I feel so angry
Feel so calloused
So lost, confused again
I feel so cheap
So used, unfaithful
Let's start over
Let's start over
Inuyasha opened the fridge and pulled out a 2-liter of Mountain Dew. "I hope this isn't flat yet," he muttered as he took off the cap.
Sometimes, I wish I was smart
I wish I made cures for
How people are
I wish I had power
Wish I could leave
I wish I could change the world
For you and me
"Yeah if I could cure how Sesshomaru keeps trying to kill me, I'd do it," Inuyasha grumbled as he opened a cabinet and pulled out a glass.
'Cause I feel so mad
I feel so angry
Feel so calloused
So lost, confused again
I feel so cheap
So used, unfaithful
Let's start over
Let's start over
Taking a sip of his Mountain Dew, he returned the bottle to its rightful place and poured the boiling water into the ramen cup.
'Cause I feel so mad
I feel so angry
Feel so calloused
So lost, confused again
I feel so cheap
So used, unfaithful
Let's start over
Let's start over
"This reminds me of Blink 182," he commented to himself. "I wonder if it is Blink 182," he pondered aloud as he started eating his dinner.
'Cause I feel so mad
I feel so angry
Feel so calloused
So lost, confused again
I feel so cheap
So used, unfaithful
Let's start over
Let's start over
Let's start oveeeeeeeeeeer
"And that was Box Car Racer with I Feel So and that concludes our music hour. After the break, we have Gary with Love Talk..." the announcer came on over the stereo. Inuyasha grabbed the remote and turned it off in order to finish his dinner in peace.

"Kagome, it's no big deal," Sango tried to convince her friend.
"I know, I just really wanted to know what that was," complained Kagome, playing with the phone cord.
"Well maybe it'll be on the news. It's probably a good thing we didn't catch up to it. It could've been a psychotic youkai with a massive ax," reasoned Sango.
Kagome chuckled at her best friend's imagination. She really did watch too many horror movies. Kagome glanced at the clock and saw how late it was. "Well it's kinda late, Sango. I better get to bed or I'll get another detention for being late tomorrow," she explained.
"Wow, it is late," Sango replied looking at her wall clock. "I'll see ya tomorrow, Kagome."
"See ya!" Kagome replied before hanging up the phone and crawling into bed. She thought about what that thing on the roof could have been before drifting into a blissful slumber.
