Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, I just own the plot and maybe some characters that are invented along the way.

Sorry for the slow updates! I have tests and stuff that I've yet to finish…Oh well, here's the next chapter. I have a damn economic test that I don't even know anything about today on a Saturday…can u believe this? Sigh…must resist ranting…

PS…this also means I didn't really proofread this at all…

I hope you'll enjoy it…

Please review! It really makes me happy, when I'm happy, I get more motivated to write ;p

Whisper No More- Ch 2

OUT of the nothingness of sleep,
The slow dreams of Eternity,
There was a thunder on the deep:
I came, because you called to me…

I broke the Night's primeval bars,
I dared the old abysmal curse,
And flashed through ranks of frightened stars
Suddenly on the universe!

The eternal silences were broken;
Heaven became Hell as I passed.—
What shall I give you as a token,
A sign that we have met, at last?

Rupert Brooke: The Call (line 1-12) Edited


We called you in your sleep,
You chose to block us out.
We created illusions,
You pretended not to see us.
Then…
We killed your husband...

Are you still going to ignore us now?

Kagome opened her eyes only to find herself staring at the fluorescence light. The ceiling was white, so were the colour of the walls that surrounded the room. Someone had placed her on a bed.

Looking around, she found herself in a standard hospital room for an individual—a metal chair was on her right; a white wooden cupboard was on her left, on top of it there was a glass cup and a thermos which probably had water in it. The bed, where she was on, was placed in the middle of the room. The door was diagonal across from where she was.

The springs made squeaky sounds as she pushed herself up. She supposed she wasn't injured too badly, since her movements didn't cause her any pain. Kagome turned to her side and planted her feet on the cold floor.

She stood up, hoping that she wasn't in poor health. After all, she didn't want to fall on her ass on the cold hospital floor.

Her legs weren't even shaking; in fact, she was standing firmly on the ground. Kagome shook her head, wondering what the hell she was doing in the hospital in the first place. Going to the edge of the bed, she found the clipboard that had her basic medical information on it.

The first page had the signature of the last doctor who had checked on her, with the number of signatures there, she estimated that she was out for a day already. The next paper didn't say much about her condition, besides 'stable', which was a good thing, since she wasn't interested in playing 'ghost' anytime soon. The page behind it indicated the number of tests that the doctors had run her through.

Kagome narrowed her eyes as she studied the paper.

What the hell?

The half of the page was filled with codes that coded for X-rays and their certain locations. The last one of the list was a number for a PET scan.

Was she injured that badly? Kagome looked at herself, checking to see if there was any injury, and found none. There should not be any reason for the doctor, who was in charge of her, to decide to run so many tests on her.

Maybe she should have a chat with the person.

She flipped back to the first page…the main doctor who was in charge of her was Jonathon. She recognized his signature. They worked together in the same ward before. Kagome placed the clipboard back to its original place.

She opened the door, hoping that she could see someone she knew. She wanted to talk to a staff, so that she could get a better idea of her condition.

"Sarah," Kagome called out when she saw a familiar nurse walking down the corridor.

The nurse, called Sarah, turned quickly and smiled when she saw Kagome. Walking toward Kagome, her smile widened. "Thank god you are awake, Vicky. We are all worried about you."

"Do you have a moment? I wanted to ask you about something." Kagome asked in a quiet voice so that she won't disturb anyone in the hospital. After all, this was place where people are trying to recover, that means they needed all the rest they could get.

Sarah looked at the clock on the wall, "I'm off right now. It's just that I wanted to check on you before I leave. Give me a second; I just needed to sigh out first. I'll be right back."

Kagome nodded and watched as the woman disappeared around a corner. She walked back into her room and sat on her bed. Wondering what had happened.

Kagome didn't even notice that there was a person in her room until she heard someone called her name.

"Vicky," Sarah waved a hand in front her. "Do you want to rest? We can talk tomorrow. After all, you'd just woken up."

Sleep?
Kagome
You have been in 'Lala'-land
For the past eight years…
You did nothing but made matters worse
It's time to wake up…

Kagome shook her head. If she didn't get her questions answered, then tonight she would not be able to sleep. "How did I end up in the hospital?"

Sarah looked surprised, "you don't know? A bank had exploded in downtown. The robbers are crazy; they did it in broad day light. What's worse? The bank is stationed in the middle of the busiest district of downtown. There were so many people there when the explosion occurred. A lot of people were injured and many got killed because the evacuation didn't take place fast enough."

Kagome nodded, "when can I get out of the hospital?"

Sarah checked Kagome's record, "well you should be released tomorrow. But right now, you needed rest."

Smiling, Sarah dragged Kagome toward the bed and pushed her down gently. She patted Kagome's head, ended up with Kagome complaining,

"What am I? A five year old?"

Except the fact that Kagome couldn't remember what she was like when she was a five year old…

Sarah chuckled and checked her watch, "oh I have to go, my husband should be waiting for me in the parking lot now. I'll see you tomorrow."

Kagome waved good-bye and watched Sarah exited the room.

A lot of people were injured…
Many of which you could've saved
Are you going to stay as a bystander?
Do nothing…
Like last time?

Oh…it's not your fault…
You don't remember…
You'd made the wrong choice
And now you suffer the consequences
Right Kagome?

Kagome bit her lower lip…she IS still a doctor…and she IS currently at the hospital…maybe she should help her ex-colleagues at the ER…

Kagome pushed the covers to the side and got off the bed once more. She opened the door and was about to step out when she overheard a conversation.

"Don't you find it weird though?"

"Find what weird?" It was Sarah's voice, Kagome recognized.

"That Vicky is fine. I mean, she was in the building that was directly across from the bank. Everyone in that building that was at floor level at that time is either dead or is in a critical condition. But Vicky turned out to be fine."

"We should be thankful that she is unharmed!"

"But think about it. How can she be alright? She's like right next to the explosion. You know what's even weirder? There's something I heard from the ambulance people, you know Tommy?"

There wasn't an answer so Kagome assumed that Sarah nodded or something.

"He's one of the medical workers in charge of the rescue. Anyway, he said that when he arrived at the scene, everything is a mess. Most people, who are alive, have fracture bones or a concussion because of the force of the explosion pushed them back into hitting something hard. However, many are killed because they were standing too close to the glasses, which in this case, the whole entrance area; you know how commercial buildings are built. Unfortunately, when the explosion happens, glass shattered, they embedding themselves into people, puncturing vital organs, causing extensive internal bleeding..."

Remember…
Buildings don't explode for no reason
People don't just appear from nowhere
Accidents simply don't just happen

What can the purpose be?
Kagome…
You should know…
Oh…but you don't remember
Well…maybe it's time that you do!

"What's your point Isabel?" Sarah sounded impatient.

"I'm getting to that. According to Tommy, Kagome was found near the entrance of the building. There were no glass pieces around her or on her. It was as if she'd just got knocked down or something. How can she not be injured by the glasses or the explosion when she is so close to them?"

"Well I'm sure that maybe it's her location. Sometimes, the location of where you are standing when things like this occur really matters. A millimetre is a millimetre." Sarah said, trying to convince Isabel.

"You see…that's the question. The people around her are all dead; each has thousands of large or small pieces of glass stabbed into their bodies. Tommy said that they looked like porcupines. It's like there's some kind of supernatural shield protecting her or something..."

Supernatural…
That was what you'd been dealing with remember?
Remember…that…
Kagome…you were never a normal teenage girl
Never ever since the time when…

"Tommy might've exaggerated." Sarah argued.

"But you know him too; he isn't the type to do something like that…"

The problem was…Kagome knew Tommy too. They worked together almost, with him bringing patients to the ER and her there to take over after that.

He wasn't someone who would lie or the one who would make up stuff.

She had a feeling that he might be telling the truth…even though it seemed impossible.

Suddenly, Kagome felt sick to the stomach.

You dream of things that are too real for comfort
You see things that normal people cannot see
You cannot be harmed…
You are not normal
You never were…

After all…
You were the guardian of the Shikon no Tama!
A bad guardian…a very very bad guardian..

She slowly and quietly closed the door. Leaning against the door, she slid downward until she was sitting on the ground. She hugged herself as she closed her eyes, trying to recall what had happened before she'd fainted.

There was an explosion…then there was a light…there were screams and sound of glass shattering...

The light…

There was another light…

She saw another light before she lost consciousness…

The light was…

Pink?

There was something about that pink…something about that pink light. She was familiar with it; it was like she'd seen it many times before. She knew it wouldn't hurt her...it would defend her…it would protect her…but…

Pink light?

"Oh my god…" Burying her face with her hands, Kagome started crying.

What the fuck is happening?

Are you having fun Kagome?
We sure are…
We watch you suffer
We watch you break
We won't stop…
Till you are 'awake'

Do you still remember Kagome?
Hopes, dreams, wishes
Emotions make you strong
Emotions make you swayed off course
Emotions make…
Everything wrong!

But…

A second chance…
Will soon arise
A revival of hatred
A revival of power
A revival of the dead!
Combine to end…

Relive the experience
Relive the horror
Déjà-vu…
Certainly…

There is no escape
The sound of ticking…
You must hear the sound of ticking!
It's already happening…
Maybe it's already too late…

You are not listening
You are ignoring The Call…
