More tubes and wires dug underneath her skin, while she was already dressed to play the perfect part of a " dying patient." She had the long white gown laying gently across her body, and her laying against the hospital bed with doctors and medics surrounding her that left Kagome scared more than anything else. She could only feel sharp pains of the needle digging into her flesh, and her mouth smothered by the devices that made her desperate to scream out.

" What's happening…to…me?" Kagome's eyes weakly flickered open, like a person trying to stay awake. Her brown eyes didn't have the same spark anymore; she was already growing weary, and yet she tried to fight the sleepiness that she felt, and knew wasn't right. Kagome thought everybody had heard her ask that question, but nobody seem to respond to her. They all continued running back and forth in a hell of panic, to her aid but no one every bothered to say a word to her. " Guys.. her heart rate is already going down. We need to hurry before her organs and her body completely shuts down."

She weakly cocked her head from the tough pillow, staring at her one hand knowing she was already loosing control in her body, when she realized her hand was completely pale and that she couldn't get her fingers to even budge from her fist like position.

" Are they saying I'm…dying…? I can't be…can I?

-

Sango placed her foot heavier on the gas petal, looking in the rear mirror catching a glimpse of the outline of the guy Kagome adored, placing his face against the window with his hands pressed against his face holding it up weakly with all the strength inside him that was left. She could see rapid expression of worry on his face, while his mocha colored eyes glanced at the surroundings waiting to see the sign of the hospital, and biting his lip hard enough to the point it was ready to bleed. She watched him steadily for a moment, knowing his head was full of hard thoughts. She didn't know what was harder for him. The fact Kagome could die.. or the fact he's life would be hell without her. He always had acted like she had never mattered, or anyone mattered in his life. Nobody touched him the way she did. Her kindness, her happiness…she was the only person that actually gave him a second chance. To him, he'd be nothing without her.

" It's funny Kagome. To think you were some stupid girl that was exactly like everybody else. But Kagome, you gave me a second chance. You saved my ass and now, it looks like I'm repaying the favor. My promise to you Kagome, we'll get out of this hell and you'll be safe. I can only hope…." Inuyasha placed his hands on the cold foggy window, tearing nervously at the threads of his dark worn down jeans, and remembering how Kagome first appeared.

"So bitch how come you came here? Did your parents not give a rat's ass about you?" He remembered glaring at the wench, dressed in the beautiful green skirt remembering the guys behind the cages sexually harassing her, noticing how she stumbled weakly and how her fear ate her up inside.

"My name's not bitch it's Kagome! Get that straight!" Remembering her sweet voice, with the hint of attitude struggling and fighting being there. Just looking at her as another waste of his time. "Fine, Kagome." He remembered laughing like she was some joke." So answer me does you family not care about you? Is that why you're here?"

" It's none of your business." She cried out remembering she reflected the fear in her eyes. He remembered clearly her eyes filled with tears, and remember how a girl like her actually wasted her time on him to save him, then the other people that gave up on him. "I have no family anymore..."

Even now, he still didn't understand the reason of why someone like her, would help a guy like him that was so mean, so hateful towards everyone and everybody that once held a hand out for him? Still that question was fresh in his mind. He still didn't want to believe that someone actually saved him, but he knew he was further than he had ever been before. But, for some reason he couldn't turn her hand down. Her hand grabbed him, without a second thought of who he was, where he came from.. she didn't seem to care or mind. That's what made him laugh and smile at times. That there was actually someone out there that would give a damn about him.. a person he had once searched had now found him…

" Inuyasha. Come on let's go! What are you waiting for…a funeral…? Sango muttered underneath her breath, while her keys were already jingling in the sweaty palm of her hands, while he didn't even realize that the car had stopped, and that they were already in the midst of the hospital. His hands roughly smacked the car door, feeling the cold nip at his face, while the wind blew harsh in his direction trying not to let anything else hold him back from running and getting there in time. " Ha that was funny Sango. I almost forgot to laugh. Considering Kagome is probably dying and we could be attending her funeral…Real nice." His eyes scowled at Sango's words, that hit him hard, knowing Kagome's condition was already bad enough, and that she had to make a cruel joke that made him sweat with anger. Sango knew she wasn't trying to be mean, she was trying to motive him so he would hurry and see her before anything was beyond their grasp.

Inuyasha rushed on ahead, feeling his heart pounding and feeling like the parking lot was further from the hospital than it actually was. He wasn't going to afford to waste time at all. Everybody seemed they had all the time in the world and to him, time was slowly running out.

" Kagome…Higurashi." Sango commented trying to be calm as possible, hoping Kagome's friend could do the same and not worry himself. She was worried herself knowing a new friend of her, was already suffering in a hospital.. a place nobody deserved to be. Her forehead was already damp in sweat waiting the search, like a time bomb waiting to explode. " Room 241. But wait. You can't go in!" The nurse yelled while Sango remained at the desk, noticing Inuyasha darting down the hallway dodging the patients getting wheeled out, and the other parents that were weeping he ran past like, he was running a marathon. He had already tuned out the nurse's voice hearing other feet running after him in a whirlpool of panic. " Sir! You have to wait in the waiting room!" The nurse screaming behind the desk, while Inuyasha cocked his head with his feet in flight barely hearing her old raspy voice, that he was beginning to tune out. " Fuck that. I'm not waiting like everybody else! I'm not waiting here and letting Kagome die. I'm going now! Fuck what do hospitals know?"

Inuyasha began running faster up the stairs, feeling his legs burning with agony and his throat drier than ever before. His hands grasped the railing hard, proceeding faster towards the doors and running past all the rooms until he had spotted her number clear in sight. " 290…Wrong side of the hallway. Damnit they couldn't make this easier on me! I forgot they never have…After all my friend is laying in a freaking hospital bed!"

Inuyasha's feet pounded on the titles running past all the identical rooms that had the hospital beds, with people in them coughing and chocking. With wires, and tubs attached to them looking all over in a panic just to see a glimpse of her number and to see a young girl with raven hair was all he wanted to see.

" Kagome….Kagome!" His eyes peeked through the window seeing nurses and doctors surrounding her, only seeing her pale hand stretched out to the side lifelessly, and hearing noises and screaming coming from the other side. His hands grasped the door, fleeing in shock when he saw the girl laying there. He expected maybe to see a smile forming on her face, but there was nothing. It wasn't the Kagome he knew…He just noticed her color had changed drastically, and her eyes weakly trying to stay open and all the wires attached to her body. All eyes were on him without question, while sweat formed from his forehead and rolled down his face, leaving his black bangs soaked completely. He just stood in the doorway lifelessly, grasping the sides feeling his world already falling apart when he saw her like that. " Kagome…" He muttered weakly, almost like he couldn't say anything at all.

" Sir, please I need you to wait in the waiting room." The doctor commanded while everybody continued torturing her, while he looked at the doctor hatefully like he had no heart, or soul at all. Inuyasha refused to budge. He stood in front of the door barely taking in anything that was said when he saw her condition. " I'm not waiting down there! You don't understand!" Inuyasha screamed back, feeling his heart and soul already bleeding. He couldn't stand waiting down there staring at the clock and awaiting the news. He would kill him even more. The doctor looked at him without any emotion, surprised someone like him would deny him. " I do understand. Were busy. I promise we'll give you the results after this is all said and done." The doctor placed his hands on the door, leaving it to hit Inuyasha's nose knowing he was shoving him out. He placed his hand there glaring at him harder, and with even much more of a desperate face on then ever before.

" I'm not going to wait in a freaking wait room to hear some results! Fuck, I'm going to stay here with her. I don't care if you're a damn doctor. I need to stay! Kagome!" He screaming struggling once more, feeling the pressure of the door against his arm while he refused to even back down.

Sango had already rushed towards the stairway seeing his dark black shirt, and the black and red necklace dangling from his neck that was a dead give away it had been him. She noticed his screaming, and his arm restraining the door from closing him out, and she could only shake her head. " I'm sorry, but not until this is done. Under no circumstances are you allowed to be here when we are working."

Before Sango could even say a word, she saw other doctors that were free running to their aid, and bitching him out telling him to back off, and Inuyasha refused while he stayed and stared at Kagome longer, seeing the true look on her face that was depressing. " No I'm staying with her! This might be the last time I see her again!"

The doctors looked at him, while Sango grasped onto his arm trying nicely to lure him back. " Come on Inuyasha." Sango said nicely but Inuyasha stood back feeling the door finally slam on him, and him sliding against the door.

His head banged on the wall, feeling his hands grasping his face and right up to his bangs muttering hatefully, like he had lost all sudden grip of reality. It was the same look he had, when he sat in the corner of the cells of the orphanage. " This isn't fair!" Inuyasha hit his knee in anger, knowing the door was locked suddenly feeling tears rushing down his face, touching them as though this was a brand new thing to him.

" I'm crying?" Inuyasha thought touching the wet salty tears while his bangs hid his feelings from Sango. " I've never cared for someone so much before. Kagome helped me when I was in need. She saved my ass from being alone, and dying alone. I'm suppose to be here to save her now. But look! I'm locked out, while she's in the worst condition. She doesn't need those doctors or nurses.. she needs me.! Damn, I don't know what I'd do without her….."
