Chapter 12
The Accident and Apologies
The headlights kept getting closer. I went to unbuckle myself from the seat to jump out, but it got stuck! Great, it's going to be like on of those final destination things. I was starting to panic majorly. My heart was killing my chest. Koga had undone his buckle and tried to undo mine. It still wouldn't come undone. Koga turned and saw how close the car was to hitting us and he bailed out while I stay in stuck. I stared at the open door that he jumped out. I couldn't believe that he did that! He was going to leave me in here to die. It was his fault that he wasn't watchign the road. I quickly looked ahead and saw that we were on the wrong side of the road. We must of swirved off and that's why the car was coming at me.
I closed my eyes and waited for impact. It came....hard. I felt the front of the car push forwards and glass shatter. There was an agonizing pain in my legs and I couldn't move them! I felt the pressure of the car being hit and it flipped over and went rolling. I blacked out from my head hitting the roof of the car as it went rolling.
I don't know how long I had been unconcious, but when I awoke I was looking at a white ceiling. I heard sobbing in the room. I tried to move but my whole body was sore. I looked around slowly, trying not to move to much. I concluded that I was in a hospital from the bed I was on, the room, and the machines. I also saw Katherine, my mother, Grandpa, and Souta in the room. My mother and Katherine were the ones I heard crying. I muttered a quite "hi" to them, but the only person who heard me was Souta, because he was sitting right next to the bed I was on.
" Hey, Mom, she's awake! Hi, Sis, how are you feeling? Are you okay? " he asked quickly and with concern. I had to smile at his concern for me. I felt glad he did.
" Yes, I'm really sore though and it hurts to move, and I'm extremely thirsty, " I said quietly. My throat was really dry so I couldn't talk to well. Souta nodded and handed me a glass of water that was sitting on a table near by. I grabbed it slowly, my arms weren't as sore as the rest of my body. I drank it slowly and I was able to talk a bit better. I also realized that I was my pajamas. I was guessing that Katherine or Mom changed me. I set the empty plastic cup down.
" What happened ? When did you all get here? " I asked. They all came to stand closer to my bed.
" You were in a car accident, I received a phone call from a doctor telling me that you were in an accident. He told me that someone named, Koga, brought you in. Your Family flew down here as soon as I called them and told them about it , " Katherine replied.
" Koga? Where is he? Is he okay? " I asked, not histerically. I wanted to know where the jerk was who didn't pay attention to the road and bailed out on me.
" I'm not sure where he is, but I was talking to the doctor and said he only had a few minor scratches from when he jumped out. I can't believe he left you in there, " Katherine explained. The doctor walked in.
" I see you have finally come to Miss Higurashi, " he said with a smile. " you've been out of it for about a day and a half. " He looked at his clipboard. " Well you managed to get out of it with some bruises and scrapes and a minor sprained ankle, other than that you are fine. Just stay of your left ankle for a while. I'm surprise you made out with only this, I thought you might have broken something or been in a coma, but you aren't and that's good. Your ankle should heal in about a week. " he explained. He also told me that my ankle was wraped up in Ace wraps and I nodded. He also told me that I could go home that day as well, then he left. My mother smiled.
" Well, I'm glad that you are doing alright, Sweetie, " she said an she came over and hugged me the best she could without hurting me. I smiled.
" Yes, you guys can go back home, Katherine can stay with me, I'll be fine, I promise, " I said. I didn't want them to worry so much, because I wanted them to go back to their daily lives.
" No, Kagome, I don't think we'll be leaving so soon, we want to see you recover, " Grandpa contradicted. I smiled.
" Grandpa, I'll be fine, " I said with reassurence. He sighed.
" You don't give up, do you? " he asked sarcastically. Well sort of sarcastic. I smiled.
" Nope, now if I continue to argue then I won't get better. " I smiled and so did they. Mom, Souta, and Grandpa all left and I heard some more people come in, it was Miroku and Sango. Katherine exited the room telling me that she'd be in the waiting room for when I was done talking to my friends. Sango ran over to me and hugged me. I winced because I was still in pain. She hopped back quickly.
" Oops, sorry, Kagome, how are you doing? " she asked with concern. I smiled.
" Pretty good I guess, just some bruises and scrapes and a sprained ankle. The doctor was surprised that it wasn't anything else major, like a coma. " I replied. She smiled.
" Who were you with when the accident occurred? " Miroku asked. He knew that I wasn't old enough to drive. I mean hell, I'm only fifteen.
" Um, Koga, " I replied. Koga was eighteen and so was Miroku. Sango was a year older than me like Inuyasha and yet we all ended up in the same homeroom. Than again our school kind of bunched everyone together. Sango and Miroku both looked surprised at my answer. I remember that I hadn't told them about the date.
" Well, yeah, he asked me out Saturday and we went out on Sunday er yesterday. We were arguing in the car because he kept staring at this girl who goes to our school, Ayame. He was zoning out in the car thinking about her and then he was arguing with me and kept his eyes off the road. " I paused and sighed. " I also found out that the reason why he was nice to me and asked me out was because he was using me to make Inuyasha jealous. He hates Inuyasha for being popular and rich and showing off, " I said sadly. Miroku shook his head.
" Inuyasha is going to kill Koga, literally, when he finds out. He cares about you alot, Kagome, maybe even more than a best friend, " he said with a smiled. I felt myself blush.
" Yeah, right." was all that I could manage to say. " have you guys seen Koga yet? " I asked.
" Actually, yes, he's sitting in the waiting room, he told us to tell you sorry, I think he's too ashamed to say it himself, " Sango explained. I frowned.
" Well, I won't accept it until he tells me in person, " I replied sternly. Sango smiled.
" That's the way to take it. " We both giggled. Miroku and Sango sat on the edge of my bed. Sango was glancing at the room and Miroku was looking at her with a dreamily look. I couldn't hold it in, so I burst out laughing. They both turned their glances towards me. They looked at me like I was crazy.
" Um, I think she was hit on the head to hard, " Miroku commented. I wiped a tear from my eyes.
" No, it's just that Sango, Miroku keeps looking at you with dreamy eyes and you don't notice it. I think he's trying to tell you something, " I explained. I was smiling and Sango was blushing. Miroku was looking down in embarressment. Sango was about to say something when we heard a banging noise a wall and some yelling.
" You bastard! How could you do that to her?! " Once voice was yelling.
" Shut the fuck up! It's your fault it happened! " The other voice yelled. There was another banging noise, like someone being thrown up against a wall.
" My fault?! How the hell is it my fault?! You were the one driving not me! " The first voice was yelling.
" Because I hate you so much that I needed to see you in pain! " The other voice yelled back. It took me a while to realize that it was Inuyasha and Koga fighting.
" What the hell have I ever done to you?! " Inuyasha yelled back at him. I could just imaging him having Koga by the collar.
" You're the one who acts like a stuck up, rich, popular, mutt, who thinks he's better than everyone! Think it's a stupid reason? Well it's not, because your family company took away everything from my family! Yeah we were rich once. Now we are average like every one else, you don't know how hard my father had worked just to reach that point! I will hate you and you and your family for the rest of my life! Trust me, I will come after everything you love before I come after you! " Koga exclaimed. There was silence, but not long before some people started to break up the fight.
" Break it up will ya? This is a hospital and we have enough people injured here all ready and we don't need this much noise, break it up before I throw you out, " demanded I was guessing a docter. Miroku, Sango, and I all stared at the doorway. Inuyasha walked in moments later. He was surprised that we were all staring at him.
" What? " he asked.
" Why did you need to start a fight? " I asked. He walked closer.
" Because he deserved it, " He said with a stern tone.
" Inuyasha, I didn't know that your family owned a company that large, you didn't act the way Koga said you did when we were kids, " I said, my voice trailing off. Inuyasha sat on the bed. Miroku and Sango got up.
" We'll let you two have some privacy, we'll see you at school tomorrow if you go, " I nodded and smiled and the left. I turned my attention back to Inuyasha, he was looking down, his bangs covering his eyes.
" Only acted that way in school, because I was angry. I had lost my only friend. I was little and didn't have anyone to talk to about it. My father was too busy and my brother and I don't exactly get along. I did talk to my mother a couple of times, but she couldn't help too much because she was sick. She ended up passing away when I was seven. You were my only friend and nobody wanted to be my friend because of what I was, but little kids take it alot harder than adults and older kids. I guess my anger carried on all these years and my way to vent was to be stuck up and brag about things and really, I was hurting inside. When I heard about the accident, I just don't know exactly what came over me, but I really wanted to kill whoever it was that drove. I heard all about it from you. I was listening outside the door, but I was especially pissed off that he didn't apologize to you. " he explained. He looked up at me. I could have sworn that he was holding back tears.
" And, " he started again. " I'm sorry for what I said at the mall the other day. I-I do care what happens to you...you are my best friend you know," he apologized. It was so sincere it brought tears to my eyes. Inuyasha looked concerned when he saw the tears roll down my face. He wiped them away with his thumb.
" Kagome, what's wrong? " he asked. I smiled.
" You're being really nice to me and it scared me to tears, " I said sarcastically. He looked hurt though.
" I'm I really that mean to you that when I am nice it scares you? " he asked quietly. I sat up the best I could, without hurting myself, and hugged him. He stiffened up for a moment.
" No, you do get a little arrogant, but otherwise you're a good friend to me. I was only joking. I was crying because I'm glad you were worried about me and that you missed me that much when I left, " I whispered. He smiled and hugged me gently. We let go and I layed back. We were both smiling. My smile disappeared when I saw Miroku and Sango halfway in the doorway like eavesdroppers. I was frowning at them.
" So much for privacy, " I said loudly so that the could hear that I spotted them. Inuyasha turned around and looked like he was going to kill someone. Miroku came out and was laughing nervously and Sango was smiling. Inuyasha was getting pissed, I could tell. He has his hand clentched into fists, trying not to severly hurt them.
" I am going to kill you guys! How long were you spying? " Inuyasha demanded.
" We weren't spying, " Sango replied.
" We were there the whole time, " Miroku said quickly. Sango looked at him fast with the Why-In-The-Hell-Would-You-Tell-Him? look. Miroku shrugged. Inuyasha moved forward and Sango hid behind Miroku.
" Inuyasha, " I said softly. He relaxed and sat down in a chair. I looked at Sango, who was still hiding behind Miroku, and a smile creeped onto my face.
" Hm...Sango, you're hiding behind Miroku? I see. You trust him enough that he'll save you from Inuyasha's wrath, " I accused. She knew what I was getting at and blushed.
" I-I do not. I'm just hiding behind him because he's the only object to hide behind at this moment, " she explained.
" You could have ran, " Inuyasha suggested. Sango quickly looked at him and frowned.
" Shut up! " she said while still blushing. I had to laugh. She stepped out from behind Miroku and Inuyasha stood up and was walking towards them. Sango hid behind Miroku again. I started to crack up laughed. Inuyasha laughed and sat back down. Miroku was actually starting to blush because Sango was so close to him and he wasn't getting slapped.
Katherine walked in and Sango stepped out from behind Miroku. Katherine walked over to my bedside and smiled.
" Are you ready to go? " she asked nicely. I nodded. I realized that I was still in pajamas and my friends were here, but I didn't care. Katherine helped me up because of my ankle.
" Do you want a pair of crutches? " she asked me. I shook my head.
" No, I'll just stay off of my feet for a week, " I replied.
" Then how are you going to walk? " she asked.
" I'll just have to miss school for a week, I mean I haven't missed any school this week and it'll be excused, " I answered. She smiled.
" Okay, how are you going to walk from here to the car? " she asked with a laugh. I paused.
" Um....I haven't thought of that, " I replied. Inuyasha smiled. He came over to me and picked me up bridal style. He picked me up like I was as light as a feather.
" I'll carry you, " he said with a smiled. I blushed a bit and nodded.
" Thanks. " I smiled. I looked at Katherine and she was smiling.
" Lead the way, Katherine, " Inuyasha said politely. She nodded and we walked out of the hospital and into the parking lot. While we were walking I rested my head on Inuyasha's chest. He was warm and it was making me tired again. I was starting to doze off, but woke up when he helped me into the car.
" Do you want to ride with us so you can help her into the house? " Katherine asked Inuyasha with a smile. He shrugged and smiled.
" Sure, why not?" He climbed in next to me and I rested my head on his shoulder and I felt him put his arm around me. I fell asleep smiling.
I awoke the next day to the sound of someone knocking on the front door. I sat up and winced as I felt the pain come back along with the memories of yesterday. I didn't hate Koga, but I wasn't exactly happy with him. I just hoped that he asked Ayame out from the heart and not to hurt someone. I tried to get up but I remembered that I sprained my ankle. I needed to take a shower so I undid the wrap on my ankle. I heard Katherine answer the door so I hobbled into the bathroom and took a bath instead. I came out moments later, fully dressed and slowly made my way down the stairs. I held onto the rail for support. I peeped around the corner to see who was at the door.
Whoever he was, Katherine invited him in. He had short blonde hair, combed back neatly. He had brown eyes and was wearing casual clothes that consisted of a red t-shirt, a black t-shirt and black shoes. Katherine smiled at him. Whoever he was spotted me.
" Hello, you must be Kagome, " he predicted. I stared at him a moment before I realized who he was. I smiled.
" You must be Tod, Katherine speaks of you often, " I replied and hobbled over to shake his hand. He looked at my ankle.
" Ah, that must be from the accident, Katherine was telling me about, " he said. I nodded.
" Well, I'm glad to have met you, Tod, " I said with a smiled. He smiled as well.
" Likewise. " Katherine walked over to me.
" Kagome, you should be off your feet, it's the whole reason why you aren't in school, " Katherine chastised. I smiled.
" Yes, Mother, " I said with sarcasim. She smiled and helped me to my room. I sat on the bed with the phone near by. I was wondering what to do now that I was kind of an invalid. I was about to call someone when the phone rang. I shrugged and answered it.
" Hello? " I asked and waited for a reply. There was nothing but silence.
" Hello? " I asked again. This time someone spoke.
" Is this Kagome Higurashi? " Came a deep male voice from the other end. He was speaking in a dark tone. Like a stalker tone.
" Who wants to know and why? " I asked with suspicion. He started to laugh.
" So, it is you, you have something I want, " he responded.
" Want? I don't have anything of yours, hell I don't even know who the fuck you are! " I yelled. I quieted my tone when I realized how loud I was. I didn't want Katherine to think something was wrong, even though something was.
" The Jewel. The Jewel is what you have. I demand it, " the guy said sternly with some annoyance.
" Jewel? What jewel? Who are you? Tell me now! " I demanded.
" I am.......
And so I leave it here just to irritate you all. Yes suspenseful...or is it. I'm pretty sure you know who it is. It's sort of obvious, but for those of you who don't know who it is....well it makes me happy that it will eat at you until you find out. Hehehe ooh that was so not funny.
