Well, I just got back from a cruise! It was awesome! We went all over the Caribbean. I got to go snorkeling with sea turtles and everything! Get this...the boat had a place to ice skate, and it had a rock climbing wall. It was a very exciting trip. Well, that's all fine and dandy, right? You just wanna get to the story so I won't waist any more time.

Rumors And Love
Chapter 14: Life In A Hospital
It had been three days now, and Inuyasha still hadn't woken up. Kagome had been coming every day after school, and staying beside him until visiting hours were over. She had promised to call Miroku the moment Inuyasha woke up. The doctors were reluctant to work with something that looked like Inuyasha, but a patient is a patient. Their job and his life were both on the line. So now, Kagome is waiting obediently by the side of the man who captured her heart.
She leaned over to remove a couple strands of hair that had blown in his face from the light breeze that swept through the open window. His chest moved up and down in the same slow rhythm that was his breath. 'How could I let this happen to you?' She placed her hand on his, and closed her eyes. It was at this moment that she felt pressure on her own hand. She instantly looked up to see his hand holding onto hers. "Inuyasha?"
He nodded weakly as he opened his eyes to catch sight of her. "Yes, I'm here."
Kagome wanted to cry. She was so happy. As hard as she tried, she couldn't keep those tears back. In return Inuyasha chuckled. "It seems like every time I see you, you're crying for me."
"Yes, but there's a difference this time because I'm happy." She got up from her chair and gave him a hug being careful not to put any pressure on him that would put him in more pain. (A/N: See you guys didn't have to worry. Inuyasha is well and alive. Okay, so maybe not 'well' but he is alive.) She pulled back.
"What's wrong?" he asked half confused.
"I just forgot to do something." She grabbed her purse, and pulled out a small phone. "I have to call Miroku and let him know you're alright." She put the phone to her ear, after she punched in some numbers. A voice was heard on the other end and Kagome started to talk back. "He's finally woken up! So you can come now and....eh?" She took the phone away from her ear and looked at it.
"What's wrong now?"
"He hung up." Just then Miroku sped through the door. He was out of breath by the look of him. His hand was on the frame of the doorway, and the other was on his knee as he hunched over taking huge breaths. "Um, how did you..." He put up a hand signaling her to stop talking. He went over to Inuyasha's bed.
"How are you feeling, buddy?"
Inuyasha shrugged in response. "I feel fine. So, when can I get out of here?"
"Well, before you go I think we need to talk about something," Kagome said while walking over stopping to the left of Miroku.
Inuyasha nodded signaling her to continue.
"Well, we were able to save you, but your house is a different story. It was destroyed... after you passed out." Inuyasha looked down. "I'm sorry."
"It was all I had left. Now I have nothing." He responded barely over a whisper.
"That's not true," Kagome responded. "You still have me." She placed her hand on his. He turned his head up to look at her smiling face. He smiled in response.
"Okay, if this is going to turn into a make out scene, I think I'll leave right now," Miroku said while pointing to the exit.
"Then you might want to start running," Inuyasha replied with a smirk.
"Okay, see you later. Inuyasha, hope you feel better. And Kagome, remember that he's still hurt, okay? Don't....never mind." He shut the door behind him as he exited the room. 'If only I had someone like they have each other.' He sighed. He walked down the glossy hall until he caught sight of a black haired beauty. It was Sango.
"Hey," she said as she approached him. Her eyes drifted to the floor as he started to talk back.
"Hey Sango, what's up?"
"Nothing much. I actually came to see Kagome. She's in here, right?"
"Yeah. She's in room 238. But I suggest not walking in there right away."
"Why not? I've been worried sick about her. She's never home when I call, and at school she looks as though she hasn't gotten sleep in days."
"Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. She's plenty happy now." He nodded toward the room. "In fact the person she's been coming to see every day is doing exceptionally well."
"Oh? That's wonderful. I think she said it was her grandmother, right?"
"Grandmother....riiiight. Yeah, her 'grandmother' is doing much better. You better not disturb their happy moments with each other. I mean she's old. For all you know she could have a heart attack tomorrow. So let's walk this way." He placed his hand behind her back and pushed her ahead.
"But Miroku. Why would she die of a heart attack, if she's healthy now?"
"That's a good question. So how about we discuss it over a cup of coffee, hmm?"
"I swear, Miroku. All you ever want is attention from girls."
"Well, can you blame me? Your beauty absolutely captivates me."
"Whatever. I think I'm going to go check up on Kagome now." She turned around and started to walk until something gripped her hand. "Huh?" Miroku had grabbed her wrist.
"Don't go in there. Please." He pulled her toward him. "And if I must be honest. I have liked you for the past few years."
"What?"
"Sure I may grope other women, and say 'pretty' words, but you're the one I always had my eyes set on." He brought his eyes to meet hers. "I hope I haven't just made a fool of myself." He blushed a little followed by her.
"Don't worry, you haven't because I feel the same way."
He lifted his gaze to meet hers again and was greeted with a smile. "So does this mean you'll take up on my offer?"
"Right after I check up on Kagome." She pushed out of his grasp, and went to the room labeled as 238. She reached for the handle, and opened it a little, until it was closed right in front of her face. It was Miroku. He had reached for the knob as well, and closed it. "Miroku," she started while tugging on the knob. "What are you doing?"
"You can't go in there."
"Why not?" she asked while tugging on the knob harder.
"Will you just listen to me?"
She looked at him, and let go of the knob followed by him. "Why not?"
"Because," he sighed. "Because that's not really Kagome's grandmother in there. And believe me when I say I'm protecting you and that person by not letting you go in there."
Her angered look turned terrified. "Are you saying Kagome's in there with some monster or lunatic?!" She reached for the knob again, but he stepped in front of her, and took her hand.
"Just trust me. She is in no danger."
"How do you know?!"
He squeezed her hand harder. "Trust me." Just then the door opened. "What's all the commotion out here?" a feminine voice questioned. The both turned their heads to see Kagome with the door shut behind her.
"Kagome!" Sango threw her arms around her friend's neck. "I missed you so much!" Kagome stiffened but soon returned the hug.
"What for, Sango? I just saw you this morning.
"Yes, but you weren't yourself at all. You look so much better than before. I'm glad to know you're back." Sango pulled her head back swiftly. "And who's in there with you, Kagome? Because if there's a loon in there with you, let me tell you right now that I won't stand for it. Because Miroku here said..."
"Miroku?" Kagome questioned as she looked at the man who was now scrunching down in fear. He gave a little wave with his fingers and scrunched down even more. "Really? What DID Miroku say?" she asked while glaring daggers at the terrified young man.
"Well, he said that it wasn't really your grandmother in there. Because I was trying to come in to see you, but he refused to let me past the door. I asked why, and that's what he said. He said he was protecting myself and the person in that room by no letting me past. And I want to know exactly what type of person is behind that door, Kagome. Because you're my best friend and I don't want you getting hurt." She pushed Kagome aside. "So let me through. She pushed open the door and Kagome and Miroku closed their eyes waiting for a scream, but it never came. Sango came out from the room. "Is this some kind of prank or something?"
"Huh?" Kagome and Miroku asked as they approached wither side of the girl. They both noticed that no one was in there. Just the window was open as before with a breeze blowing the curtains. Even the bed was made.
"You guys are mean," Sango pouted. "Now you guys are playing pranks on me. I was really scared there for a moment." She walked out followed by the other two who were both dumbfounded.
"That's weird," Kagome whispered. "I wonder where he went."
"I don't know," Miroku responded in a whisper as well.
Sango was studying them as they talked lowly to each other. "And now what are you two doing?"
"Nothing at all," Kagome chimed.
Sango looked a bit suspicious. "Well, I think now I'll take up on your offer, Miroku. Let's go get some coffee. My head hurts." She turned to leave with a still confused Miroku trailing behind. "It was nice seeing you Kagome. Now you promise me to get some rest."
"Don't worry, I will." She waved goodbye to the two, and as soon as they were out of sight she ran back inside the room.
"Inuyasha? Where did you go?" She felt something wrap around her from behind. He had wrapped his arms around her waist and started nuzzling her neck from behind. She giggled in response as she turned around in his arms to face him.
"I missed you," he said.
She laughed again. "Well, where did you go?"
He let go of her. "You shouldn't underestimate me. I knew that girl would be coming in here, so I simply hid behind the door.
She walked over to the door and moved it away from the wall to look behind it. "You mean you were there the whole time?"
He nodded as he made his way toward her. "So tell me where am I to stay now that my home has been destroyed?"
"Well," she started. "You can stay at my home. But things are going to be different."
He wrapped his arms around her waist. "How so?"
"For starters, you'll be going to school with me every day."
His face soured. "Why?"
"Because I don't date dumb men." She smiled and tapped his nose. "No exceptions."
He frowned. "But I'm smart enough. I mean who helped you with your math?"
"Inuyasha, you can't expect to know one thing and have me saying you're perfectly fine with no education."
"But you should."
"Nope. That's just the way things are going to be. And don't worry we can do something about those ears, so that not an excuse either."
"Fine," he sighed in defeat. "I guess I'll go."
"Good. We'll just get you some new clothes, and you'll be all set to go."
"Well, what else is there?"
"Secondly, you need a job. After all, you can't stay at someone's house and have absolutely no way of supporting yourself. You need money." He frowned at that as well. "Don't worry. I'll help you look for a job. We all have to work sooner or later. Who knows. Maybe we could get a job together."
"I think I like the sound of that," he said with a smirk.
"And third, you need to help with chores around the house instead of sitting in front of the television with Sota eating food all day."
"Feh. Now that's asking a lot, woman."
"Deal with it or deal with me." She said with an evil grin.
He pulled away from her. "Women are scary."
