Kiss Away My Tears

Chapter 2: Sacred Child

She woke up in a plain white room, not recognizing it. Looking around a few times, she tried to remember. She had a complete blank as to what happened the day before. Not wanting to waste anymore time, she tried to get up. BIG mistake. The feeling rushed through her body, an unmistakable pain - as though someone was peeling off your skin piece by piece and then burned it back in place, repeatedly.

She fell back. No use trying to move. Why was everything so white though? The room, the bed, the door? Blinding. Her eyes slid halfway closed. Questions lazily slipped through her mind, no longer conscious, just automatic. How did she get here? Nothing. She could remember completely and absolutely nothing.

Well that was a huge help. Well may be someone who knew would come and visit her soon. A bitter sigh escaped her dry throat. Yeah, right. Like someone would ever visit her.

For a person who could remember nothing, she was unusually calm. For what reasons was beyond her. She didn't understand her own behavior, but then again she didn't feel the need to worry either, she knew. Like expecting something to happen. Anytime now. She stared at the ceiling, unblinkingly. A small smile curled her lips, she would remember.

Her eyes slid completely closed. A face flashed behind her closed lids, followed by a high-pitched scream and a flash of light. Then the memories flooded black at lightning speed.

…She remembered.

…………She knew she would, she always did. Always.

With that last thought, she fell into a dreamless sleep from exhaustion.

Sango sat quietly in the hospital waiting room. As much as she didn't know her new friend well, she couldn't help but be worried. She's been here for hours! And still those brainless nurses wouldn't allow her to see her friend.

It was official. She was pissed. She stood up determination shining in her chocolate brown eyes. She stood straight and proud. A nurse passed by and Sango fell back into her seat. All she had to do was stay unnoticed by nurses. Blend in. Bing A light switch seemed to lit up on top of her head. All she had to do now was find a storage room. And may-be by some weird accident stumble upon a nurses uniform. A victorious smile stretched across her face. It wasn't that she had any appreciation for those ridiculous uniforms; usually she would have strangled anyone who dare imply for her to wear such a thing. But this just went to show happiness takes sacrifices.

With a happy smile in place, she sneaked away from the ever-watchful eyes of the nurses. Lets see. Numbers, numbers, numbers. Couldn't these people put up a sign for sanity's sake? A frustrated sigh made its way into the empty hallway. She had to wonder if it was because someone before her got the same bright idea. It was official. The light on top of her head dimmed and burned out. Now she was officially lost.

She peered around. Everything looked the same, as bold black numbers on pale white doors seemed to blur together creating a never-ending hall with only a black stripe on each side. She shook her head. Oh well. It couldn't hurt to try, right? She walked to the nearest door, opening it. She stuck her head inside. Her jaw hit the floor when she realized who was in the room. She wanted to jump with joy after finally finding it, but restrained herself.

Walking ever-so-cautiously to the bed Kagome occupied, she stared silently at the girl in it. Raven black hair shone with blue highlights under the rays leaking into the room. Long dark lashes kissed the smooth, peachy skin of her cheeks. A few scratches marred the beautiful angel that was she.

Sango moved to the window and looked out. It seemed to be around six. The sun setting graciously over the horizon. Variety of colours pouring into the sky, creating a masterpiece that could rarely be captured on paper.

Sango sighed. She still had no idea as to why, or more likely what, happened to Kagome. It's a wonder she stumbled there in time; otherwise, she might have bled to death.

Kagome moved around in her bed, being quiet uncomfortable with the same position for over Kami-knows-how-long, startling the only other person in the room. Sango twirled around at the sudden noise. "Oh, you're finally awake." Her eyes shone with concern, a tiny smile playing on her lips.

"Um hmmm." A tired voice responded, though still as gentle as water in the summer rain. "How long was I out?" asked a bit more awake Kagome.

"About a day, may be a bit more." She answered, her floating back to the playful colours on the horizon.

"Hmmm…" Kagome looked around once again, eyes flashing over the white interior. Now that she wasn't as tired, with an actually functioning brain she realized something. She was in a hospital? What the hell? Why the hell? And the memory once again hit her like a ton of bricks…

"Sango, where's the girl?" She screamed in a panicked voice that half knocked Sango off her feet. She tried desperately to fight of the tight bed sheets that seemed to disagree with releasing her so soon. Once getting the trouble some sheets off herself, she stumbled off the bed, hardly in any condition to stand.

She looked at Sango with worry-clouded eyes, panic written all over her face. Sango looked back at the girl, clearly confused. May-be she's still sick? She looked the girl over, with the amount of blood she lost, it's clear she could be delusional. So you should calmly ask the questions to assure the patient that nothing's wrong.

"Kagome, what girl? When I found you, you were alone." Answered Sango, only catching a glimpse of Kagome's gown as she bolted for the door, surprisingly fast for a person who could hardly stand a few seconds ago.

Sango ran after her, trying desperately to catch up to her, yet failing miserably. May be Kagome was on the track team? She increased her speed to her limit, Yet still not nearly close enough to grab the hysterical girl. Before she stopped and doubled over, in an attempt to catch her breath, she heard Kagome mumble one word, as her figure disappeared into the distance, blending with the crowds of people on the streets.

"Rin…"
