She didn't laugh,
She didn't smile,
She didn't respond,
She didn't move,
Most of all….
She wasn't breathing …
That killed him. His heart he could feel pounding through his chest, feeling it beating with fear and anxiety . His throat so dry, and air seemed toxic. He understood the sensation was like to not able to breathe. It felt like he was the one dying, like he was the one injured and in a serious state than Kagome was. When he saw her chest wasn't rising, and body went white as a ghost his world just stopped. Nothing seemed important anymore. Everything else around him like the school, the people and the outside world faded away out of focus while his mocha colored eyes focused on her, and only her. It was like only she existed on earth. His hands gently formed underneath her back, like a support catching her in the midst's of her fall. The wind grew stronger and violently, watching the trees desperately hanging on to the ground while the rain droplets began to pour down, ready to set the mood and make is more miserable than it seemed.
His warm hands supported her back, her head almost touching the damp ground only he broke her fall. He didn't want this to happen; the last thing he wanted to do was to sit on the edge of a hospital bed and see if she'd ever wake again. That thought already twisted him inside out. He knew her and himself were having enough battles and problems so far but, he still wanted to fight them together and with her by her side always. The future didn't seem that bright. All he thought was what was going to happen now, and if he'd ever see her smile or laugh again. His hands gently caressed her face as though he had never seen something like her before; he could feel the softness of her cheeks and saw her original color strip into white. His lips gently whispered in her ears, taking a gently approach hoping she'd awake and at least smile or her hear sweet voice responding back. " Kagome.. please wake up.. Kagome I'm sorry! Just please..please wake up." His raspy voice ached, begging for her to listen to his voice and wake up and reassure him that everything was going to be ok. He waited impatiently for her response but nothing came off of her blue colored lips. He waited for a moment, feeling the rain hit him harder and harder like needles piercing his skin.
He had never seen her ever like this, or even in this condition. He didn't want to believe something was wrong with her, even when he knew the real truth and fought against him. Her body rested gently against his knees bringing his rough hands down from her cheeks towards her hands that gently touched the wet, damp pavement. His lungs felt crushed feeling all the oxygen disappear, gasping for air while his heart was slowly breaking into pieces every second he gazed upon her. His jet colored bangs were drenched with sweat and rain, knowing everything he cherished, loved and grew attached was always the ones that disappeared and faded away. " Kagome get up! This isn't some game Kagome you hear me!? Kagome please don't do this to me!" His touch went from gentle to violent, like an abuse guy beating up on an innocent young women. His rough hands cupped around her wrists, squeezing at the pressure point digging his fingers into her flesh. His anger and fear drew his hands to furiously inflict pain, hoping that this would awake her but not even pain was enough to open her eyes. His hands violently shook her, feeling the blood rushing to his head and his veins. He could feel the pounding in his head, and the ultimate fear and reality that she was doomed to die. Her body laid limp like a dead corpse in the palm of his hands; no emotions, no feelings, no pain, no nothing. Just an empty shell. Nothing less,nothing more.
His ranting and raving continued, it didn't stop at all. He was down on his knees feeling tears get the best of him, just wishing he could turn back time where she was laughing and looked fresh and alive.
Sango was still sitting at the table with the burger mounted in her hand, with the foil dressing half of it. Sango noticed everybody around her was finished their food and grabbing the trays and rushing towards the garbage cans and the tray counter. Her hands held up her head strongly, sitting all by her lonesome awaiting Kagome's return. " Where the hell is she? She said she was only stepping outside for some fresh air…" Sango felt her thoughts fade into the background when her ears narrowed to a sound other than people's laughter or cutlery hitting the tables. She heard something just out of her reach of hearing. Something that sent a chill severing down her spine and back up again. She heard screaming and hollering, and instantly she dropped her food down. Her body just flew from the chair, feeling fear swim through her. Grabbing a hold of her stomach, her heart, and refused to even let her go. She just replayed Kagome waving going out for a second, and next thing knowing hearing a familiar voice screaming in bloody agony. Sango immediately rose to her feet shaking her thoughts of Kagome and what could have happened to her, " It can't be Kagome.. it can't be.."
Sango began rushing towards the door leaving her food and her belongings all behind. That was the least of her worries of her things getting stolen. She just pushed herself harder and to run faster and she knew every second counted. She knew when she heard that agonizing scream enter her ear she realized it was a cry for help no human being could ignore. Sango stood at the top step of the stairs that lead from the café to the outside world. Her feet stood at the edge like a person ready to jump off a cliff, ready to take whatever was down below. Her violet colored eyes began searching for anything out of the ordinary, and that's when she noticed Kagome, lifeless and motionless.
" Kagome!!" Sango could hear herself screaming rushing towards her side not even paying attention to him holding on to her. She didn't see him first, all she saw was Kagome's body motionless in somebody's arms.
Sango felt her feet resist the ground as though gravity didn't exist. Her legs and thighs were burning with pain, and the rain and mud didn't let her stand stably on the ground by Kagome's side. Sango's knees just sunk into the mud; she didn't care her jeans were soaked with mud stains or grass stains, she just cared about Kagome like any friend would. Sango's dark long hair flipped over her shoulders with an exhausted, terrified look that would strike fear into anyone's eyes. " What has happened to her!? She wasn't like this before!!" Sango's scream bloody mercy at the top of her lungs, feeling like she was grasping the ground just to set her mind straight and her feet on the ground. His hands held her tightly, while she examined the tears streaming down his white looking face. She had never seen a guy cry before, then again she understood he felt a lot and meant a lot to Kagome. Sango had already heard stories about him briefly how much Kagome adored him. Even for the assignment about who's your hero Kagome written down his name in a heart beat, and without any hesitation at all. His voice was too raspy to even reply to her. He was too much in shock to even breathe a word what was going on at all.
Sango just shook her head not daring to believe her friend needed help. She knew by the cold colored lips and the faded color of her skin, she needed to taken care of. The last thing he wanted was her in emergency, then again it would be his only choice if he wanted to be a hero and save her. " She needs help..We can't leave her like this.." Sango's words hit him like a thousand knifes. He didn't want her to wind up with wires all over her body, or air mask on her face either.. He didn't want her getting rushed through the hospital on a stretcher, and he didn't dare want to hear the words, " She's passed on" either. He didn't want to see her life grasping on by a thread, but the hospital was the only option.
Somebody was already dialing the number,
Somebody was already making the call,
Somebody was letting them know somebody was dying,
Somebody was letting them know.
Sango still laid faithfully by her side, with only sighs and whimpers proceeded from her mouth. Her body was shaking like she was paranoid, and it was impossible trying to stop her body from trembling weakly. He held her for dear life in his arms for a couple of minutes , knowing the time was ticking down until she was taken away, and until everything was confirmed. His hands tried to keep her body warm, he could feel her already losing warmth. The ambulance siren was roaring loudly, hearing it come closer and closer knowing it was for her. Knowing time was slowly ticking, and he knew it might be the last time he saw her, before he'd see her in a casket with flowers all around.
His hands gently caressed her face pulling back her wet stands of hair away from her face, seeing her entirely. His arms just embraced her tightly, feeling her chin rest lifelessly on his shoulder while the tears just began running down his cheeks and down on to her's. His eyes just looked at her one last time, seeing the ambulance off in the distance knowing the time was now. His lips slowly touched her forehead sweetly, watching her lifeless body thrown onto the stretcher hooked up to all the wires and air pumps. The last way he ever wanted to see her.
" Kagome, I love you. I'm sorry I fought with you, and made your life miserable like mine was. The last thing I wanted to do was to hurt you, and make you cry. You mean a lot to me, you keep me strong now believe it or not. This might be the last time I see you, so no matter what happens you'll always be someone I've always cared about and always will."
