Chapter6:

Not Your Fault

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha...but I own a pencil and paper that I use to draw him...actually I think my dad bought those...heh heh...uhhh...on with the story...

"I'm sorry sir, but you have to stay in the Waiting Room."

"No!!! This is all my fault!!! I have to see her!!!"

"Again...I'm sorry but I can't allow you in right now." The nurse was doing her best to stay calm, but now this boy was getting on her nerves. He was very strange; he didn't have any shoes on and he wore a very out of date red kimono and a black baseball cap. But the two strangest things about him were his amber eyes and silver hair. "Please just take a seat and leave me alone...I will tell you when you can go in..."

Inuyasha could tell this woman wasn't gonna cave. "Damn it!!!' "Fine!!!" He would have to settle waiting with Kagome's mother. But Inuyasha couldn't sit still. He was just too worried about Kagome...and over come with gilt. He couldn't get it out of his head...he almost killed her. 'I'm so stupid!!! I KNEW it was most likely a trap!!! And now Kagome is fighting for her life!!! Everything is my fault. Kagome doesn't deserve all the pain that's connected to me. She would be better off with some one else...not a worthless hanyou like me...but she said she loves me. Even after all the things I have done to her, she still smiled and said she loves me...even though she knew she was dying...even though she was in pain...she still said it...' Inuyasha was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he didn't even notice that Mrs. Higurashi was trying to talk to him, until she tapped him on the shoulder.

"Inuyasha? Inuyasha?" He turned and looked ay her. "We can go in and see her now..." Inuyasha helped Mrs. Higurashi up and fallowed the nurse to Kagome's room.

All he could do when he arrived was look at her. She looked so calm and peaceful, lying there sleeping on a hospital bed. Finally he got up the courage to sit next to her and hold her hand. He felt a little better...he felt a little more connected to her.

Inuyasha didn't know how long he sat there. He didn't notice when Mrs. Higurashi left to tell Sota and Kagome's grandfather what happened, even though she didn't quite understand it herself...all he could see was Kagome. Inuyasha could still smell that she was going to stop bleeding soon. Once again he got lost in his thoughts, but this time he was brought back by a low moaning...

"Inu...Inu...yasha?"

"Kagome! I'm so sorry! This is all my fault! I was so stupi..."

"Shut up!" Kagome was struggling to sit up. "None of his is your fault! Don't you dare even think that!!!! You can't blame yourself every time something bad happens!" Kagome winced and lied back down. "Inuyasha...are you ok? How are you felling, your not hurt are you?"

"No, I'm fine...but I'm not important right now. The important thing is you getting better. How do you feel? Are your wounds hurting you? Is there anything I can do?"

"No Inuyasha...I'm not in any pain. And I don't think there's anything you can do...except will you stay with me?"

"I wouldn't dream of leaving you." Kagome smiled at him. 'I love her so much...she so kind and her smile is enough to melt the coldest heart. I don't remember having any of these feelings while I was wit Kikyo. Did I really love her or was it just an understanding of loneliness that we shared?' Inuyasha placed his hand on Kagome's. She smiled and gently laced her fingers through his and smiled at him reassuringly. All he wanted to do was hold her close to him and never let her go. Inu knew he couldn't...he knew he had to be content with holding her hand, but he couldn't get rid of that desire.

"Kagome...?"

Kagome looked at the new comer. "Mom!!!"

"I'm so glad you're alright!!!" Mrs. Higurashi ran over and gave Kagome a huge hug. "But how did this happen?"

"Well...a demon named Naraku...he..." Kagome was cut off.

"It's my fault, Mrs. Higurashi. I was and idiot and was deceived by Naraku. He made me transform into a full demon and when I'm I that form I don't know anything except anger, I don't even know my own name. But there are a few things that can bring me out of this transformation and Kagome was able to do it, but not before I hurt her. But you have to know that I hate myself for what I did. I can understand if you don't want your daughter to come to the Feudal Era anymore. And if you let her come back I swear I will do my best to protect her...no more harm will ever come to her...not if I have a say in it!!!" Inuyasha never looked at Kagome's mother once, he was too ashamed...despite Kagome's reassurance that none of this was his fault, Inuyasha still felt as if he'd failed her...her and her mother. Also, he was not sure why he'd just spilt his guts to someone he barely knew, all he knew that she deserved to know the truth...instead of the smoothed over version Kagome would of told her.

"Mom...Inuyasha made it sound like it was all his fault, but it wasn't. Naraku did this...he's a monster and I have to help my friends on the other side of the well. Please don't try and stop me. I know you're concerned for my safety, But I have Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Inuyasha to look after me. And I promise that I'll come home safe. We will destroy that bastard Naraku!!!"

"KAGOME!!! Where did you learn such harsh language???"

"Ummm...uhh..." Kagome looked at Inuyasha and smiled. Inu smiled back. 'So...I'm starting to rub off on her. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.'

"So...uhh...Mom..."

"Yes, Kagome?"

"Can I go back...?"

"No...not until you're felling better and that won't be for at least a week. After that you can go back. Oh...and Inuyasha...you're welcome to stay at our house until she feels better. I know you probably would like to stay close to her."

"Where are you going?" Kagome was really confused. She didn't think her mom was going to be so understanding.

"Well...if Inuyasha is going to stay in this time, isn't he going to need appropriate clothing?"

"You're the best Mom!!! Oh! And Mom...how long have I been here?"

"Let's see...about three days or so." Mrs. Higurashi waved and left.

"Wow...three days..." She turned to look at Inuyasha and saw him smiling. "Inuyasha?"

"Here..." He handed her a red flower. "You dropped this..."

Kagome took the flower from him and smiled. "Thank-you..." Kagome noticed something odd about the flower..."Inuyasha? Why hasn't it wilted?"

Inuyasha stared at the flower. "I don't know. We'll ask Keade about it when we get back."

Se put the flower in he hair. "O.k." Kagome suddenly sat up. "What the hell...?"

"What is it Kagome?" Inu could tell from the sound of her voice that something was out of the ordinary.

"I have no clue how, but...I'm sensing two jewel shards..."

Inuyasha sniffed the air. "I can answer that...I smell Koga...how the hell did he get here???"

"I don't know but..." She was cut of by a very familiar voice saying, "Hey Kagome!"...

Author's Note: Oh...how did Koga get there??? Any guesses??? Also Koga being in Kagome's time is a hint about how Naraku got there...hehe. So if you have any guesses let me know in you reviews.

And I'm sorry for not giving all my reviewers a HUGE thanks in the last chappie...it was really really late and I was kinda out of it. So thank- you for reading my story and if you're reading it and not reviewing can you please start. I don't care if it's a flamer I just want to know what everyone thinks...and if you don't like my story that's fine.

Anyway...a big thanks to my two newest reviewers mariahbaby and KaitouInuyasha and to my old reviewers the strange, orange-InuYasha, and teenage inuyasha. Your reviews mean a lot to me!!! Thanks for your support!!!

I'll try and get the next chapter up as soon as I can...I don't think up dating will slow down because I'm home schooled and I can make this one of my classes...hehe. But you must remember I can't make any promises. So I'll write more a.s.a.p. Bye for now!!!
