Chapter Eight: Recovery and the Last Battle
"So...what is it?" Kagome asked the doctor.
"He's got a concussion, a dislocated arm and he has a fracture in his leg. He's just fine. We've notified his parents and they'll be here shortly." he said.
"Oh God..." she fell down on the chair holding her face.
Her mother squeezed her shoulder, "It'll be all right, Kagome."
"Kagome!" she heard a familiar voice and her head shot up.
"Sango...Miroku..." she whimpered.
"How is he?"
"He's all right. He's unconscious though. His parents will be here." she whispered.
"Where's my son!" a women came in accompanied by an older man with pointed ears, obviously her husband and a young man looking only a little older than Inuyasha himself with the same white hair and golden eyes.
"Please, Mrs. Tetsusaiga, calm down." the doctor said.
"Oh Gods!" she whispered into her husband's chest.
"Shh, dear." he held her.
Kagome's eye watered and she looked away sobbing lightly when a hand came upon her shoulder, "You're the girl Inuyasha's been with...Kagome is it?"
"Who are you?" she wiped her eyes.
"Sesshoumaru."
"Inuyasha's brother!" she whispered.
"Half brother. How is he?" he said still as nonchalantly as ever.
"He's all right." she sighed.
"You're Inuyasha's female friend?" his mother asked sweetly.
"Yes..." she answered.
Inuyasha's mother turned to the doctor, "Can we see him?"
"You may. He's just going to need to stay here. There's no telling when he'll wake up."
They entered the room and Inuyasha laid there with tubes coming from his nose and IV's sticking out of his arms. His leg was in a sling hanging from the ceiling and he had a bandage around his head. He was badly bruised on his face and arms but he remained sound asleep.
Kagome snapped her head away as fresh tears ran down her cheeks, "Oh Gods!" she sobbed.
Sango held her, "Kagome...it'll be allright."
Miroku patted her shoulder, "He'll wake up soon, this is Inuyasha we're talking about."
She smiled and turned back over as his family moved closer to him, "Inuyasha..." his mother called stroking his cheek, "Don't worry sweety, you'll be just fine my boy." she cried silently.
Her husband put his arms around her, "I think it's best we go." he smiled and tightly gripped Inuyasha's hand, "Bye son, get well soon."
Sesshomaru patted Inuyasha on the shoulder, "Bye, little brother." and left.
Kagome lightly stepped over there and sat on the bed, "Hi there, Inuyasha..." she rubbed his hand, "How're you doing? I-I miss you..." her voice cracked, "I hope you feel a lot better soon." she sighed and stood up, "I have to go...I..." she leaned down, kissing him softly, "Bye..." she stood up and left the room.
The next few days seemed to zoom by and Kagome walked to the hospital after school everyday, visiting Inuyasha. She'd read to him, tell him about school, what he was missing, things they were going to do when he got out. Truth be told this only further depressed her current predicament.
Thursday rolled around and all Kagome could think about all week was Inuyasha. She couldn't see him yesterday or today. He was on her mind when she went to sleep, when she woke up and every second of everyday since the accident. She was at her locker and she shut it sadly slinging her bag over her shoulder.
"Having some internal conflicts, Higurashi?"
She snapped her head around, "You shut your mouth! Leave me alone and go to hell!" she cried to Naraku.
He smiled, "Come now, don't be so stubborn, I'm sure Tetsusaiga will be just fine."
Her eyes narrowed, "You're the worst scum that ever crawled upon the face of this dirty planet! You'll get what's coming to you someday."
"Just like he did?"
"W-What? You...didn't..." she whispered.
"Oh, it was an accident. He should have been watching the road and not your house. He would have avoided the crossing dog and wouldn't have had to slam on his breaks." he smiled.
"YOU..."
"You have no evidence. Go home, Higurashi." he smiled as the bell rang and he left.
Kagome sighed as the rain pour down unforgivingly, "Great, now the path is going to be all muddy...I'll have to take the long way home." she sighed. She'd been walking half an hour and still the rain was coming down, harder than before and she was thoroughly depressed making her slug along even slower than usual. Feeling exhaustion and defeat, she sat herself under a cherry blossom and hugged her knees. Before she could stop them tears began to pour down her paled face, "Inuyasha..." she choked out. She cried harder and more than she'd ever cried before, she wanted the ground to swallow her up and never give her back. She gasped as she felt a strong pair of arms pull her to her feet.
"Stop cryin', it's way too sad." a familiar voice rang in her ears.
"It can't be..." she looked up at the man who held her, "I-Inuyasha!" she sobbed.
He smiled down at her, "Thought I was down and out, didn't ya?"
"What are you doing up! Are you-"
"Cool it, Kagome. I got out early this mornin' and I was gunna see you in school but when I got home I fell asleep. What the hell are you doin' out in the rain?" he said in realization. She was soaked from head to toe.
"Inuyasha..." she whimpered and clung to his chest, "I thought...oh Inuyasha!" she sobbed and hugged him tighter.
He squeezed her small form tightly and kissed the top of her head, "It's all right, babe. I'm here now."
She smiled into his chest, "How are you feeling?"
"Pretty damned good." he grinned.
"Inuyasha, Naraku is...still. He still wants you out of his way."
"I reported him. I kinda knew it wasn't an accident." he half frowned, "But, no worries, Kag. It seems they've been onto him for a while. They've gotten dozens of reports on him. Apparently some kids were outside making a home movie and caught the entire accident on tape and then some." he shrugged.
She smiled, "Then...it's over?"
"Not entirely. They need to take a few more statements and they want to set a court date but that's not for a few more weeks." he said, "You're mom'll probably tell you when we get you home."
"We?"
"I'm taking you home. It'll be okay. Naraku and his lackies, for lack of a better word, are sitting in a Juevenile Center." he informed her.
"Until tomorrow?"
"Yep."
She hugged him tightly, "I'm so glad. I'm so, so glad." she cried into his shirt.
"It'll be over soon, I promise." he hugged her back.
Naraku was proven to be guilty, along with his teamates, and was locked away in a Juevenile Detention Center. Kagome and the others were finally free of his torture and Sengoku Jidai High School saw better days.
Six months later...
"What!"
"I said no!"
"Why!"
"Because you don't deserve one! Not after that rating!"
"If you won't give me any, I'll take them from you!"
"Ha! Try it!" Kagome laughed.
Inuyasha smirked, "You asked for it." he grabbed Kagome by the shoulders and brutally crushed his lips over hers.
She smiled and kissed him back, "Hmm. Okay. I'll give that and A, the plus due to the style." she smiled.
"Keh, bite me... OW! Son of a bitch, I didn't mean it!"
She grinned, "Then don't say it!"
He stuck his toungue out at her, "Get your nice little ass to class."
"I am." she kissed him, "I'll see you at lunch." she turned on heel and began walking back.
He stared at her for a few minutes before grabbing her and twisting her into his chest, "And Kagome?" he stared intently at her and kissed her gently, "I love you."
She blushed, "I love you too, Inuyasha." she smiled.
"I'm glad everything's okay now, it means I can be with you."
"So am I." she smiled warmly at him, "I hope, it stays this way."
"It will." he grinned and kissed her again, "Bye, babe. See you at lunch."
"Will do." she smiled. She loved him so much and she knew he loved her, it was just the way it was supposed to be.
