Chapter 8

Roy looked down at the woman lying on the bed. Her side stitched and bandaged, she looked like she had seen war. One as angelic and sweet as her did not deserve such fate. It had been two days since the shooting, and Kagome had yet to wake. Roy hardly left her side, only to work on the mounds on paperwork on his desk when the nurse ordered him to leave. Sesshomaru never left her side, however. When the nurse told him to leave he promptly ignored her. She eventually gave up.

The ride over here had been stressful on everyone. After Kagome had been shot they stayed at the village for a few hours, until a car came over here and delivered Kagome to central, back home.

Aya (I bet you people forgot about the old woman?) came over and visited a few times a day, always worried about the young woman who lived with her. Aya had always thought of the girl as her granddaughter. And seeing her laying on that bed was always heart wrenching for the old woman, so she left after a half-hour most of the time. It was thanks to Aya that the room was full of flowers, giving it the life that Kagome could not… for the time.

The nurse came in and told him that it was time to leave, it was well past dusk. Roy nodded, and got up. He looked once more at the woman lying on the bed, in her coma-like state. He'd only known a short while, but if she didn't wake up, he didn't think he could go on living like he had had.

Mustang left the room, nodding to Sesshomaru as he passed. That man never slept or ate, how had he lasted these two days?

After Roy left the room, Sesshomaru got up and walked over to the woman who had saved his life. Yes, that bullet could have easily killed him, while a group of a thousand demons could not.

He had never left her side, even when that infuriating woman had tried to get him to leave. He should have gone back and told the king of the village but he had the bulky, bald—except for that blonde curl—deliver his report for him.

Sesshomaru worried over Kagome, he knew she would survive. The shikon jewel that she constantly wore around her neck was proof of that. Its power covered the room, as if silently saying that it was healing the young miko. It wasn't that what he worried over. It was that she constantly tossed and turned as if something plagued her mind.

He was right.

With Kagome in her dream.

Kagome sat on the old worn well, her green skirt blowing in the wind, while she fingered the now complete shikon jewel. She was waiting for Inuyasha, he said that he needed to tell her something important.

Kagome felt a slight tickle at the back of her mind, telling her he approached. She smiled. (HEY people in case you cant tell this is a flashback thing!) Her smile disappeared however when he entered the clearing, Kikyo at his side.

Inuyasha spoke, "Kagome. I am going to hell with Kikyo." The way he said it, you could just tell that it was a finale decision, something that you couldn't change his mind on.

Tears formed around her eyes; didn't he care at all?

Apparently not, which was proved his next words. "What? Are you crying now? You stupid wench! Did you think that you meant something to me? Ha! You were nothing but a tool! Kikyo's my love." To prove his point he kissed the yucky smelling corpse. (GAG! Ewwwww!)

That dream-flashback ended there, and Kagome faded into darkness. Everything was gone except for her.

"You don't need him," a voice echoed off the dark walls. Kagome recognized that voice. It was the very same that called her three years ago telling her that she was needed here.

"You are better than that, and have a man that truly cares about you."

"Who?"

The blackness faded and an image showed. It was Roy and her together lying against the tree.

"This is a man who cares for you. Give him a chance and forgot about that love that never was," the voice sounded confident. And it gave her hope.

"You need to wake up now."

Kagome nodded and once more darkness settled. But she didn't open her eyes, and she didn't awake. Yet another voice stopped her.

"Tell me miko how is it possible that you are still living?"

Again darkness faded, but this time to an unwelcome scene. The area drifted to a deep cellar like place and Kagome was not alone. The red eyed black haired man stood before her.

"No human call live centuries and if I remember correctly I shot you."

"Naraku," she hissed.

The man cackled. "No, I am not Naraku. My name is Reko. I am Naraku's finale offspring. He released me as he lay dying after you and that puppy defeated him. It is my job now to kill you and the pup's brother. I need to make up for missing the humans and that kit."

"I won't give you the chance to hurt anyone!" Kagome cried defiantly.

"Oh? Just like you didn't give me the chance to shoot you?"

Kagome growled a nasty habit she picked up from Sesshomaru.

"Now, now. No need to be angry." He looked her over, head to toe, stopping in a few choice areas. "Maybe I won't kill you. You are a tasty piece of meat. I could have you and the jewel."

"I'd rather be dead!"

"Of course that too could be arrange." He chuckled. It was such a vile sound, making Kagome shiver.

"Well now," Reko spoke, "I need to leave. Have fun, and don't worry I'll come for you soon!"

This time there was no darkness and Kagome opened her eyes. Greeted by a dark, small, and uncomfortably cold room. Sesshomaru sitting a chair eyes staring at a wall.

"How long?" Kagome croaked out. Her throat felt dry and her teeth were covered with a slime coating.

Sesshomaru jumped up, surprised that she was suddenly awake. He ran over to her, well in his stiffness he walked over quickly.

" All you alright?"

"Fine. If shaken and I would like water and a bath," Kagome answered with a smile.

Sesshomaru nodded and got a nurse. The lady came in and gave Kagome some water and a little food. She got her bath later on.

About three hours later Kagome was sitting up in bed telling Sesshomaru about Reko, when Roy walked in, and stopped in shock at seeing Kagome up in bed. Sesshomaru left giving the two some privacy.

"Hey!" Kagome chirped cheerfully.

"Your awake," he spoke somewhat hesitantly. "How are you feeling?"

Kagome smiled, while thinking over what the voice had said about them. "Fine. Except for this hole in my side. And they won't let me out of this room!" She growled again. 'Evil hospitals!'

"That's a good thing. You'd leave and reopen that stitching on your side."

"PFF! I've had worse injuries. How've you been doing?"

"Fine. Save for the fact that I'm sleep deprived," if to prove his point he a yawn escaped him.

Kagome giggled then smiled. "Sess said that you hardly left my side."

Mustang shrugged, thinking, 'it wasn't that big of a deal.'

"Don't do that. It means a lot to me, that someone beside Sesshomaru may care." She smiled sadly.

Roy frowned, what made Kagome so sad.

"Anyway," She began abruptly, "how's the guys. And I hope you don't mind that I can't work for a few days."

"Everyone is fine, if not a little worried about you. Especially Al, you seem to have charmed him."

Kagome smiled, "It wasn't hard, he's just like my little brother."

"You have a little brother?"

"Oh yea, it's been three years since I've seen him, my mom, and grandpa. All I got now is Sesshomaru and Aya."

"I'm sorry."

"It's fine."

Before Roy could remark Aya bustled in.

"Aya!" Kagome squealed. The old woman ran up and gave the girl a hug.

That's how her day was spent, visiting with her friends. Getting more flowers and just talking with her friends. And throughout the whole thing, Roy never left her side.
