His feet hit heavily on each step, his hands gliding against the railing, upset that he had to leave on such short notice, and leave Kagome in the hospital bed when he wanted to stay and keep her company. He stormed faster when he heard the door a couple floors up from him open, and heard heels clicking the annoying voice, of her talking to Mark.
" He always seem to be in a foul mood doesn't he?"
" You can't really blame him. After all he's been through a hell of a lot."
Mark commented while she fixed her curly strands of blonde hair back into a proper bun, gritting her teeth together trying to act perfectly normal.
" She always like to drag me away, and make me miserable when I'm fucking happy. She knows that, and she plays dumb all the time and makes me look like the fucking idiot! She's forgetting she's not my damn mother, and never will be!" He screamed inside, slumping in the car seat, with the belt basically situated around his neck as though he was strangling himself. He just watched the tall white building grow smaller, until it was out of sight. He just glimpsed at the outside world, and waiting for this nightmare to be finally over.
" Fuck Finally…" He muttered after an hour or so of hearing her fake little nice voice, saying how much she was worried about Kagome's well being and the fact that she had gotten sick so fast. Mark just nodded in agreement, barely even talkative when he had been in the hospital and back again. He still felt the same, in the hospital or not. Marla slowly got out and smiled when Mark opened the door for her, while she just giggled and swung her purse, while Inuyasha waited disgust at the patio. " Mark, we should have take out for once. I'm sick of cooking and preparing meals…" Inuyasha laughed, while Mark finally shoved the key in the door and smiled. " I'm not complaining. Usually you complain if I try to get it half of the time…"
Inuyasha quietly walked in, throwing himself on the beaten up couch with his arms just touching the ground, and his black hair in every direction possible. " Feh she's such a liar. He always does everything around here." He just looked at the two, and he saw him infatuated with her not really giving a damn, or even feeling the same way it seemed. Mark just smiled while they stood at the counter in a conversation, while the phone rung loudly.
" Hello? Now? Till when? Alright I will be there." Marla swung her foot grabbing her nail file and glaring at him, and whining, " Come on hurry up I don't have all day…"
Mark just hung up the phone and turned to her, Her mood changed dramatically; it was like she couldn't make up her mind whether to hate him or love him anymore. " What was that about?" She wondered looking at his face with a crooked smile. . He sighed grabbing a frosty beer that was already half full, chugging it back in a blink of an eye.
" Sorry, but that was work. They want me to cover somebody's shift and…" Marla just stood with her eyes narrowing at him and with her one hand to hip and now poking at his chest. " Of course.. work calls and you jump right on in… when I call to do something you make fucking excuses! You make work seem more important to me. Is painting cars and shit fun for you! It's always about you..."
Mark was already backed into the counter, lightly touching her trying to calm her down. Inuyasha could only see from his view, Mark backed into the counter and her pushing him harder, and hearing her bitching traveling through the whole entire house.
" She wonders why he doesn't want to spend time with her." He told himself noticing how much of a demanding bitch she was. She expected way too much out of him, when he was doing all he could do to please her. For her, nothing was enough.
" Marla look that isn't true! We need more money now that were looking after Kagome and Inuyasha. It isn't just about us anymore now that we've agreed to take care of them. Your not realizing, were parents! We have responsibilities! I'm sorry, but I just need to do this!" Mark told her bluntly, grabbing his heavy leather jacket that had his name stitched into it, and had the nascar emblem on the back of it. He just grabbed the dark red cap and placed in over his full body of hair, and opening the door getting away from her bitching. " Don't walk away from me!" She screamed out running towards the door, that slammed in her face while the car was already starting up. " Whatever fuck you!" She bitched to herself placing her hair back down to her shoulders, and getting a quick fix of her wine, and pouring into the most expensive looking wine glass.
Inuyasha just swallowed, after seeing his car pulling out of the driveway, and knowing Kagome was still situated and recovering in the dreadful hospital. He knew then, he was stuck with her whether he enjoyed it or not.
Inuyasha yawned walking past, getting a quick drink while he could feel her eyes beating upon him watching his every move. " You're the problem, you know that!" She yapped, sipping back the bloody color of wine that clearly looked like blood she was pouring down her throat. He took his head out of the fridge, and sipped on the pop turning to her who acted like she had all the problems on her shoulders. " Why because there is more mouths to feed!" She just placed her fingers through her hair, while her mascara was already half way down her face looking like a beaten women bawling her eyes out. " If it was up to me you wouldn't be here at all! You're the brat…."
Inuyasha just leaned back for once simply amused, while he placed the can of coke on the side counter, watching this all unfold as though it was some comedy show that he was stuck in. " If I were Mark, I wouldn't want to see you either to be honest. You treat him like shit.. You're the brat not me. Suck it up princess, cause this life ain't getting any better."
Marla fingers clenched immediately when she heard him laying back calmly, gathering the guts to say such rude things when she saw this plainly coming from a grubby looking teenage boy to her, that looked like he just came from the sewers. She noticed he still had his torn ripped clothing, that looked like rags even though his hair was a lot neater and a lot of his bruises were disappearing she didn't care; she had no pity for him what so ever.
" It is for me, and not for you. Besides I find it funny that you think you can talk to me like that. Have you ever heard to respect people? I forgot your just a rat, that crawled from the sewers."
She had her leg crossed over the other, swinging her foot while she was tainted with amusement. She was laughing harder inside when she called him that, but, it pissed her off to think a guy like him now felt he had the right to talk to her disgustingly when she was capable of doing worse things to him. He just grasped the can firmly in his hands, opening the tab with his teeth and squeezing the coke can as though it was her whole entire body in his palms. The fact she called him a rat made him hate himself even more, and that's the last thing he wanted to be reminded of; his past, and the hell he was, and still was.
" Why should I respect you anyways? Your just a stuck up bitch, that wouldn't understand fucking hell if it hit you in the face. Don't think you can boss me around after all I'm not fucking someone you can smack around with pleasure. You're a fucking bitch, and at least I didn't fucking marry for money!"
He screamed out, while her strong pleasurable shine in her eyes dimmed when she heard him trash talk her, and the fact he stated that she only married Mark, for the money and nothing more. Her fingers were slowly pressuring the stem of the wine glass, gritting her teeth miserably and seeing him practically amused, and feeling bad enough a low life was getting to her. She grasped the wine glass even harder narrowing her eyes at him, hating his guts even more than she ever did. ' When does a rat like him think he can call me a bitch? I forgot, he was raised by idiots that explains a lot about him…'
Inuyasha laughed when she had gone completely silent, and was at the breaking point of turning furious enough that she seemed pretty much reluctant to hit him, and beat him hard and harder. She looked completely fake caked in make-up, remodeled with plastic surgery.. To him she was a life sized Barbie doll. He didn't know who she was trying impress; herself, or everybody else in the world who really didn't give a damn. He brought the can to his lips feeling awkward, and strange being alone with her and the fact she hadn't resorted to violence like she had did the last time.
" Your nothing at all. Think whatever you want. That's not going to change the fact you're an outsider. You don't belong here and you damn well know it. Maybe I should of let you to rot, then again we wanted Kagome more then ever. You, just came along for the ride."
She swigged her wine in the crystal glass, watching it dance while she tipped it back and watched the scowl he tried to contain grow even heavier, noticing his eyebrows heavier and his hands grasped the counter fiercely while she was just getting a rise out of this whole fight of theirs. ' That fucking bitch…' he repeated over, short on words while she continued getting pleasure every minute out of it. She just up from her seat, fixing her short black skirt and waltzing over to his side, and thoroughly grabbing the side of his cheeks, till the point his eyes watered from the pain. She grasped his skin tightly in her hands, making his fire shone eyes stare into her miserable violet ones.
" Your just a piece of shit. Kagome is better off here without you. Besides she's happy. I mean after all she wanted was a family even since hers was gone. Her parents cared for her unlike your mother got rid of you pretty quick didn't she? She left you there to rot…she didn't care for you anyways it's pretty plain to see. That's why she took you there. "
Inuyasha's eyes tightened remembering blankly his mother face with a crooked smile the day he had been taken to the orphanage. He bit down on his lip harder, shaking his head trying to erase the memories that he blocked that were now haunting him. ' Mother.. how dare she do this to me!' She smiled pleasurably when she saw the rough tough boy's expression rapidly change into hurt, and torment knowing he was fighting with the memories and her lies. He finally snapped out of it, when he finally felt her hands on his cheek tightening his skin, that made him instantly smack her face, watching her turn the other direction and listening to the sound of his hand meeting her flesh.
" You fucking asshole…I didn't ask for you to touch me!"
He screamed out seeing her bent down on her knees, with her one hand covering her cheek that was throbbing while a black stream began running down her face; a mix of her mascara and tears. Inuyasha could hear her whimpering even louder, rubbing her cheek trying to stop the pain. He looked at her with sudden pity, after a couple of minutes flew by and heard her trying to form words that were just sounds to him. ' I shouldn't have hit her…what the fuck do I care! She's a fucking bitch!' He told himself looking down at her, thinking he'd get such pleasure seeing her like that, in fact he didn't. He felt pity, and almost ashamed that he did the exact same thing she had done to him.
He groaning knowing it was a stupid idea, but he couldn't fight it. He bent down to her height down on the kitchen floor, seeing her wiping her tears constantly seeing the mascara appearing on her hands and her fingertips. He hated her with a passion, but then yet why did he care she was hurt? He bit down on his lip feeling completely foolish, knowing this would be something he'd never do but something told him otherwise that made him hate himself even more giving a damn for someone who was inhuman.
He blankly unfolded his hand in front of her, hearing her whimper even more that sounded identical to Kagome's, which in fact he hated hearing the most.
' Look, I'm….'
She quickly wiped her remaining tears and grasped onto his hand, helping her off the cold titled floor of the kitchen that was practically dirty and uncomfortable. She nodded, hiding underneath her strands of blonde hair seeing him with a crooked smile, hating himself for even doing something nice for a women of her nature.
" Thanks…for Nothing!"
Without warning, she threw his hand away with force, throwing his whole body forcing him down to the ground against the base of the counters. His eyes lit widely, almost surprised by her reaction that he'd do that after for once being so nice to someone he hated with a passion. She looked down on him, loving to feel inferior to him and showing him who was really the victim. Her heels heavier dug into his hard toned chest, making him gasp for a moment when she dug them harder into his ribcage.
" You think I'm going to be nice to you, now that you decided to lean me a hand? Not on your life…."
She dug into his chest harder hearing him groan loudly, that was high pitched and made her laugh even harder that she was in control now. His hands curled narrowing his mocha colored eyes feeling like an idiot, he had even considered to be nice to her when he knew it went against everything he felt and believed in. ' That fucking wench…I'm such an idiot for being nice to her! After all, she only took me because of Kagome, and tried to kill me with that poison that actually had my name on it. Not hers!'
" Your still trying to change Kagome's mind about us. I can tell. Your trying to rip her away from something she's finally happy with, after her horror of her family dying in a car accident. She's happy here with us. Your too thick headed to realize it… Just because you don't trust everybody else, doesn't mean she has to. Besides, have you ever seen her happier since the accident!"
True enough, he listened to her forgetting her heel was dug into his chest. His words struck her, looking back and remembered a scared, shy Kagome that was thrown in there worried and depressed about her family dying knowing all she had, was lost. He remembered the plain scared face of a young pretty girl, that now tugged at his heartstrings and refused to let go. ' Kagome.. she can't be…' He told himself over realizing how happy she became adapting to this family, realizing she felt they cared for her inside and out and made her glow ever since then. He noticed she was more cheerful, brighter and the shine in her eyes had finally returned. Sadly, he frowned looking back and gulped knowing this was true; he just didn't want to believe it.
' Kagome are you really happy with them?' He questioned almost like he was talking to her face to face. He really truly wanted to ask that question, after all he wouldn't believe it until he got the answer straight from her mouth.
He just remembered the sad downer Kagome. Her saddened face, the tears that solidly streamed down her rosy cheeks. He was a fool to overlook that before. He knew before he never took her feelings into consideration because, he was too concerned, self-absorbed about his meaning less life that dragged on forever; so boring and nothing changed. He felt bad enough he was cared now, when he should of back then. He then remembered her dark depression mood lightened when she realized that someone wanted her, and then he remembered Marla's cruel but truthful question.
What's a matter with you? You always seem like you have something up your ass." Kagome's brutally admitted swinging her legs at the edge of the comfy bed thinking how grand this new life was, even though it wasn't the same as the one she missed. His hands clenched into fists, staring at the cream colored ceiling and back to her hazel tinted eyes.
"Nothing alright! I don't trust any of them. They too friendly and annoying for they're own good!" He wanted to yell, but Kagome just elbowed him slightly in the stomach forgetting about his injuries around his ribcage. She didn't want them to hear it, or make these new happy parents upset and unhappy more than they were. Kagome just grabbed her hairbrush stroking through her hair like a knife through butter, staring in the mirror seeing his gloomy reflection in the mirror. "Just give it time alright? It's going to take awhile to adjust to this, believe me on this!" His thick blackened eyebrow raised looking at the girl like she was crazy, the way she spoke like her advice would truly work. He began to coldly laugh at her, forgetting how nice he could be, and how he could transform back into that jackass she first met. "Feh, we'll see. I'm going to bed. Night Kagome..."
It was true. The minute they had taken from the orphanage and stuck with them he had never seen her spring back to live.. and seem so happy! He was amazed and happy before that she was feeling better but yet, at the same time he frowned and wish she didn't. He just wish she saw the truth, like he did. He hoped at one point she wouldn't see them as perfect people but it was already too late for that. He tried some many times before, but so many times failed.
He looked down at his half empty pop. Sadly, he knew Marla was right about something. He couldn't say anything back to her in response, all he knew she was right and he hoped she could be wrong.
" Well am I right?"
She pushed on in a cocky attitude, placing strength into her legs and pressing down on his chest again. He let out a painful grown, and pushed her foot off his chest and stood dusting off the print of her heel against his faded black shirt.
" Keh, whatever! I don't care really what you have to say!"
He lied through his teeth, chugging back the coke until the can was as light as a feather. She rose her eyebrow knowing his body language and his expressions told her a different story; it told her the truth. He had Kagome pop into his mind right then, now remembering she was at the hospital and how he was ripped away from her when she was with Sango. He looked at the phone hoping Marla wouldn't say another word, and feeling stupid he almost forgot about her.
' Damn.. I can't visit her. Stupid visiting hours. It's a bunch of crap anyways. Wouldn't hurt to call her even though I'm not god damn phone person… or people person for that matter…'
He grabbed the small slip of paper that had the hospital's number with the extension to her room. He took the phone off the rest, and began dialing the numbers cautiously that he read slowly off the paper.
' (416)-567-7742' extension…'678' There, got it. She better god damn well pick up. I don't care if she's sleeping or not, that's no fucking excuse!'
He waited impatiently. He felt like he was waiting for hours just to get through to her, when in reality it had only been 30 seconds at the most. He tapped his fingers annoyed hearing it ring over and over, hoping she'd grab the phone and answer his call.
Kagome turned to her side with the sheet covering the lower half of her body, knowing she was already at her final stages of recovery. They had already extracted the poison, and had looked it over for any more traces or any vital damage. She was fine, she still needed the breathing apparatus, and the wires and tubes to monitor her heart rate, and other vital organs. She was sill scared being in the hospital, it was loud and it wasn't home to her. The bed was completely comfortable, and she had to share a room with a couple other patients who coughed heavily, and moaned every single second. She couldn't wait for Inuyasha to call and check up on her, that's what she was waiting for.
' Oh shit! The phone! I thought I was dreaming that!'
Kagome heard the ringing a couple of times slowly shaking off her sleepiness, and quickly threw herself to the side of the phone and place it directly to her ear.
" Hello?"
' Fuck no answer! What could she be doing right now!'
He threw the phone down in anger, wishing he could hear her gracious voice and talk and exchange how things were going with her, and how she was progressing. His hands clutched his mane of midnight hair really pissed that he wasn't able to talk to her.
" Let me guess… couldn't get a hold of her?"
Marla asked sipped the last ounce of her wine, and laying back comfortably eyeing him and pathetically getting pissed so easily. His head cocked into her direction, seeing her clutching the wine glass and batting her eyelashes and looking at her with disgust and such hatred it made him sick.
" Look did I fucking ask you! No!"
Marla shook her head at the rebellious teenager boy, while she was already on her fourth glass already. It was clear to see she was intoxicated, and nothing could really be anymore funnier to her.
He quickly grabbed his beaten leather coat from his small bedroom, placing his hands into the pocket looking for spare change, until he grabbed it out realizing he had enough money which made him place a triumphant grin on his face.
" That's just enough. Good."
He told himself throwing the loose change back inside his back, and throwing his jacket over his shoulders and throwing on his shoes and quickly headed out the door.
' I don't care if visiting hours are over. I'm going to see her no matter what.'
He rushed down the street passing by the two gas stations that were full with different vehicles, and already making his way past the old high school that was boarded up and ready to be torn down any moment. It was ice cold out, and his coat was barely giving him any warmth at all. It had holes through it, and nobody bothered to ask him if he needed money for anything. He shoved his hands into the pockets walking past dozen of strangers who gawked at him wildly which made him uncomfortable and shiver when he saw their faces.
He just closed his eyes for a moment, walking impatiently at the bus stop while the wind began blowing faster and colder which each passing second. He wasn't already enjoying where he was after all, it was practically down town and he could tell there was a lot of stranger and odd looking people out at this time.
' Fuck…Where the hell is the bus already!'
He thought to himself, looking down the street to see if he could find any of the city buses coming to his direction but nothing did. He only saw street cars, which was racking his brain already.
He stood quietly widening his eyes when he saw a bus way down the street, that was stuck near the lights and having the relief that he was able to go to see Kagome at the hospital. He waited alittle bit, until he heard the heavy clack of heels against the sidewalk and smelt the smell of cigarettes. He cocked his head towards the direction of the smell, hearing light coughs and another smell of heavy but cheap, flower like perfume.
He never gawked at anyone but he was amazed when he saw this beautiful girl standing a couple of few away from him. He looked at her eyes that were dark , with long silky dark chocolate hair that was tucked into the collar of her coat.
He was stunned by her beauty. He never really cared before but he couldn't keep his eyes off of her. Her hour glass figure was covered by a bloody red plastic like trench coat, with a purple plaid skirt that had black boots up to her knee. She wore bloody colored lipstick that he drawn to, and he couldn't help but stare. She favored the last puff and stopped it against the ground. He also realized her hands were full of bags and clothing over flowing, and her eyes clearly met with his when she felt his stare.
' Stop staring at me..' Her eyes basically said, while he gushed for a moment and turned away when the bus had made it's stop in front of them while the doors opened and she made her way carefully up the steps. He stumbled behind placing his chump change into the slot and felt the bus already moving before he claimed a stop.
He wasn't sitting too far away from the mystery girl he attracted to. She was facing the dirty windows seeing her profile, and watching tears fall down her cheek and he just wished he could have comforted her. ' Why would a girl like her be crying?' He looked down at her bags and only had a couple of explanations that run through his mind; That she had been kicked out and was forced to find another place to call her own. She clearly toned down her whimpering so she couldn't draw attention to anyone, but it was already too late.
Inuyasha hated the most was seeing a beautiful girl bawling her eyes out. It was depressing to see and watch, and he was tempted to try to make it better. He watched her pull the string hearing it beep, already knowing where her destination was. She slowly rose from her seat, holding her bags when he noticed the hospital was a few blocks away.
He watched her stumble seeing her bag fall and open up, which revealed her dark clothing and personal items like a hairbrush, hairspray and some cigarettes.
He bent down grabbing her things quickly, and threw it into her beaten up rotting look suitcase. He had something else in his hand which made her flush red, and smack his hand with heated anger and such violence. He thought he was just being friendly and nice but to her, she saw it nothing but a bother she could have done without. He watched the item which was unseen to him, had been birth control pills. She grabbed her bag furiously from his grasp, narrowing her eyes hating him for all his worth.
" Don't help me..!" She screaming bowing her head down and grabbing the bags in her hand while he had gotten off exactly where she did. He stood quietly hearing her heels clack against the sidewalk watching her carry the huge load of stuff and hearing her cries become distant.
He proceeding towards the hospital passing by a small store on the way. He tried to forget the girl he had seen but he couldn't help but wonder what was going to happen to her? He ignored it grabbing a few things, and small cute toy dog that was white and was really soft.
" Hopefully Kagome won't be in there much longer I can't stand seeing her laying there in a hospital bed. I'm going out of my mind knowing that.'
He got the change and quickly rushed towards the hospital, heading towards the stairs in a hurry with the things all contained in a bag knowing he had snuck by the nurses who would have likely told him visiting hours were over. He headed towards the top floor and for once, it seemed so peaceful and so quiet. To him it was almost like the place was abandoned. He looked at the numbers and finally hit hers, being quiet enough to sneak in without giving the other patients a scare.
He looked down seeing her laying in the most uncomfortable way ever. Her hair wasn't all neat and brushed like he had seen it, and her hands were held underneath her head.
He saw the clothes she came in by her bed side, and saw a small TV that was against the wall, and her heart rate monitor and all the tubes and wires that scared him. He lightly crouched down beside her, gently rocking her and his warm breath against her ear.
" Kagome…"
He repeated it a few times, until she jolted almost like her whole body had volts of electricity running through her. Her eyes shot open slowly recognizing his face. She saw the rough looking face, the long midnight hair and the voice that went along with it and now it made sense to her who it was.
" Inuyasha…how did you get in here? Visiting hours are over…"
Inuyasha nodded seeing Sango sleeping in a spare bed realizing she had slept over night in the hospital. He smiled at the thought Sango worried enough as it was, was keeping her company and keeping an eye on her.
" Ya well you really think that's going to stop me? Here I got you a few things…"
He placed them on the small table beside her that had a pack of gum, some games and a toy and a brand new pillow that would be a bigger help than that one. He lifted Kagome lightly placing the new pillow beside her head while she sunk into it.
" That better?"
" Yes, thank you."
She smiled brightly glad to see he was here with her, and that she had Sango and Inuyasha in her presence. She sat up properly standing from the bed onto the cold floor and placing her arms fully around his body while he gushed when he realized her gown was hiked up enough to the point where he felt guilty. He backed off for a minute and pointed at the gown and looked away.
" Kagome can you place the gown down…Now…"
" Oh…sorry."
He muttered realizing his face was red as a tomato for a good reason. Her cheeks became rosier placing the gown down until it had covered her knees, and the point where he didn't feel guilty anymore. He sat down on the bed, while she sat up and looked at him with a bright side. His hands gently touched her face almost pitying her for being in this state.
" You know when your getting out? I mean, you've been here for awhile now and it's depressing to see you here."
She blinked and sighed glad to see him caring, but didn't like that he worried but she understood that couldn't be helped. She looked down at the tubes lodged in her wrist, and looking back at him trying to place a cheery face on to make him feel a lot better.
She was feeling crumby; she barely got any sleep, and the fact the food was gross and disgusting it tasted worse than anything she ate in her life. She knew if family was alive they'd come and visit and her mother would bring dinner to her. She smiled at the thought knowing she would, but at the same time frowned because it wouldn't happen.
" Well they said I've been progressing. I'm at the last stages of recovery. A few more blood tests and that's about it. I'll be taking medication for the next week after I'm released from the hospital. It just helps making my body healthier, considering it's weak from the poison."
He looked down seeing the beautiful girl wound up in a sad maddening place nobody deserved to be in. He knew the fact she could of died if they didn't take her any earlier, and that thought still scared him. He noticed the shine in her eyes were barely there, and her color was flushed out and her body felt so numb, so cold to the touch. He hated it, and if he was one of those guys he would have cried.
" Has the poison damaged anything yet! I mean…."
Kagome chuckled for a minute grasping his hand tightly reassuring she was fine and dandy, even though she was still situated in this creepy hospital. She went quiet for a moment seeing his mocha colored eyes become a lot softer than the ever did before. She realized he had softened up even since he was in the orphanage. She could tell he had changed a hell of a lot. He was still demanding, over protective, rude and stingy yes, but she could clearly see he had trust now and was slowly accepting life as it was.
" No silly. I'm fine. I mean it could of but it wasn't in my system long enough. So don't worry I'm fine as I can be. I mean I'm feeling a lot better, honest!"
He laughed how innocent and sweet she was acting. He couldn't resist the laughter she was too cute when she said it. He heard Sango groan for a moment while she turned the other direction, and covered her head with a pillow. He had realized how Kagome had changed from a depressed girl, to someone even stronger. He admired her for that considering a lot of people after things like that would always be stuck into a depressed state.
" Oh, I forgot here take this too."
He handed her the small stuff husky dog that was as white as snow, and had a little bandana around his neck and very fluffy and cute and had different color eyes that were blue and yellow. She grabbed it from his hands as though it was a real puppy and smiled with laughter. She brought it to her chest and hugged it tightly, and that had one free arm to hug him.
" Thank you so much! It's so cute. I have to admit though I've always loved huskies, especially with the different colored eyes."
He felt her bone crushing hug that hurt alittle bit, but it wasn't that much pain. He was delighted she was happy, and never seen her so excited and wild since the accident of her getting poisoned. He groaned for a moment because he could feel her hitting the tender spot of where her heels dug into his toned chest that was black and blue now.
" Inuyasha you alright? I mean I didn't hug you that hard did I?"
He laughed it off rubbing his stomach for a moment which stung, and shook his head with a delighted smile. His bangs swayed side to side knowing that hug couldn't have caused that much pain at all.
" Nah you didn't. I just pulled a muscle that's all."
Kagome rose her eyebrow in curiosity and he had a face that seemed to flat out lie to her. She ignored it and laid down comfortably against the new pillow he had given her, and the small husky that laid in her arms contently. She patted the side of the bed and moved towards the railing.
" Come lie down. It's much more comfortable."
He couldn't refused, he laid down right beside her smelling the perfume that laid against his neck that drove his senses wild. He looked around the room realizing how dull and unlikely it was. He didn't understand how she could be here and not go out of her mind. His hands folded against his chest, having her body outline his and her legs touching his knee. He could see the stars from the view, and was able to see the parking lot but nothing really exciting. There was only about three patients there, that were covered by a drape for privacy. There were a few chairs near the window for visitors that were facing the window. He realized her phone was out of her reach, as he moved it over knowing he'd likely call again to check up on her.
" Kagome.. how are you not bored? I mean I'm here for five minutes and I'm already fucking bored out of my mind…"
She placed her hair behind her ears that was in Inuyasha's way as he got another smell that smelt like a strong florescent type smell which was her shampoo she was given. She knew there was nothing really to see. She had already studied the room and back again a million times and nothing seemed to make her busy, only bored. She turned towards him, staring at his shimmering mocha colored eyes seeing him staring blankly at the ceiling.
" I pretty much am, but I just think of things to hold me over."
He studied the ceiling and looked at the two doors which were two bathrooms right beside them.
" Like what?"
She tossed her head, and her face began to blush red feeling like a five year old girl wishing on a star and already trying to pursue her dreams.
" Well… just don't laugh… got it?"
" I promise I won't. I probably think of dumber things anyways."
" Well I think about what life is going to be someday for me. I mean I think about finding a guy who cares about me, and how I'm going to find him. I know he's out there for me, just he hasn't found me yet. Just stupid things like that."
She sighed imagining her perfect life and the way she wanted things to be. He moved against the bed laying on his side, with his knees up and his hands behind his head.
" You sure he hasn't found you yet?"
Kagome blinked for a moment wondering what he meant by that. She didn't understand exactly what point he was trying to get at but, at the same time she did get it. She sighed again while he watched her chest rise and fall and hearing noticing the heart rate go higher when she talked about her perfect life and so far her dream.
" What do you mean?"
He shook his head and frowned abit.
" Well he may have found you but, maybe you haven't found him yet. This making sense to you?"
She clearly nodded and it did make perfect sense, and the way he said it made her chuckle at the thought.
" Ya it is. Just sometimes I don't know."
He dug his knuckles into her mane of hair, while she rubbed her head after she flinched from the pain.
" Don't doubt yourself Kagome! You're a great girl and any guy that gets you should be considered lucky."
He gushed after feeling like he was bleeding his heart out, and already beating himself up for sounded like a tender sweet guy which in fact he felt like the complete opposite. It became quiet while he just got off the bed and stood on his feet, grabbing his coat and placing a scowl on his face.
" Your leaving already? You just got here! Please stay abit longer with me…That's all I ask…"
He stood in the doorway; he didn't know whether to just ignore what she said, or actually got back to her and stay alittle bit longer. He wanted to leave but something told him to stay after he saw the worried expression on Kagome's face that showed she truly wanted him her with him, and wanted to spend time as well.
' You just got in, stay with her. She's in the hospital and she needs your company.' He heard another voice jump him, while he rubbed his temples and couldn't turn back when he saw the expression on the girl's face. He faked sighed, and placing the famous scowl acting like he hated to stay but in fact, he didn't mind.
" Keh, fine if you insist."
He threw down his jacket against the railing of the bed, and threw himself down on the bed beside her feeling her legs rub against his, while he gotten comfortable in the cotton sheets and shared half of the fluffy pillow that was better than the hard stiff one. Kagome closed her eyes lightly, yawning while he looked at her fed up.
" You tell me to stay while you decide to sleep!"
She shook her head hearing him clearly, feeling really relaxed and content now that he was at her comfort and her side. She just needed him around, it's the only way to her she felt truly home because really he was all she knew. She snuggled into the bed even more, with her back facing him and her head hung half way over the bed.
" I'm not sleeping. I'm resting. I'm listening to you don't worry."
He stretched out having a small but nice conversation. He felt so happy and calm every time he was around her. She was comfort to him, after all she was the only person in the world he felt like he could trust with his life and soul. With anybody else he couldn't feel the need to. Of course there was Sango, but he only trusted her because she was Kagome's friend and nothing more.
" I bet you the food taste disgusting, eh Kagome?"
Kagome yawned again for a moment, listening to his heavy mono tone voice that sound like music to her ears.
" It does. I rather have my mom's cooking, or food that Mark and Marla makes. But I gotta admit it taste a lot worse than the stuff we were fed at the orphanage."
Inuyasha blinked in surprise, hearing her talk about it without a worry or care. He realized she was completely relaxed when she had her eyes closed, and the way she snuck into the bed, he practically thought she was sleeping at first glance.
" Inuyasha I've realized something about you. Nobody else comforts me like you do. I mean my friends do to a certain extent yes, but I never feel completely happy unless I'm with you. It's odd how that works but it's the truth. You make me feel..you make me feel.. at home."
He stood astonished hearing this words flutter off her tongue and realizing this was out she felt. He blinked for a moment and blushed at the thought he had such an affect on her.
" Home?"
She smiled and turned towards him with her eyes still closed tightly.
" Yes Home. I mean like a home makes you feel comfortable, happy, all those things. I lost that feeling when my family died and I was taken away from my home and my town. But when I see your face your home to me.. I don't know why you just are…."
He gushed even more feeling his cheeks going much redder and blinked a couple of times over. ' She thinks I'm home to her? But how am I? I'm mean to her, I treated her badly and sometimes I still do. It's just hard to believe she picks me as home when I'm nothing like it.'
Her hand just swung and touched his, while he could feel her cool breath against his neck and his face that gave him a wave of feelings and feeling his body getting bumps all over.
" Kagome..I gotta admit something. Your home to me too. I never realized that before considering I treated you well like…shit… But that has changed now. I mean we've stuck together and it seems so far it's been that way. Maybe that's why you feel like home, because you've stuck by me…Kagome?"
He saw now she was actually sleeping. He just shook his head and threw himself into the bed, with his head close to her face.
' So much for not falling asleep on me….'
