NO I CHANGED MY MIND! I DON'T WANA GO TO THE DOCTORS MAMA!" Kagome was screeming like a little child. Yet Inuyasha, held on to her bridal style, but was struggling to keep a hold of the squirming child in his hands.

"Wow Kagome, I never knew you were this strong." Kagome just decided to relax. I mean look at the brightside, I'm in Inuyasha's arms, and it's the day before Christmas Eve, and it was snowing! The snow was so beautiful.

"OK fine, I'm calm." Kagome huffed as she crossed her arms over her chest. They walked into the hospital, Inuyasha practically gagged.

"What's wrong Inuyasha?"

"I smell...so much...blood...COUGH" Inuyasha covered his nose with his red haori.

"Inuyasha, if you want I can get Kagome a wheel chair and just use that?" Mrs Higuarashi asked.

"No, I'll be fine." Inuyasha didn't want to leave Kagome. He wanted to protect her, even if she was in her own world. Mrs. Higurashi walked up to a lady with blond hair and pink streaks all over it in two pigtails and just sitting at the counter cheerfully.

"Hi! I'm Kokami! Koko for short. How can I help you? OH KAMI YOU'RE ANKLE IS AS SWOLEN AS A PLUM!"

"Way to state the obvious..." Kagome mumbled.

"Yes, Kokami, is there a Doctor that my daughter could see for her ankle?" Kokami tapped her fake fingernails on the keyboard, the sound hurt Inuyasha's ears.

'Poor Inuyasha..' Thought Kagome. 'I will have to make him some ramen when I get home, or at least give him a doggy bone.'

"Well you're in luck Mrs. Higurashi. We have one free Doctor. His name is Dr. Sleighmaker!" Koko screeched.

"NOOOO NOT HIM! ANYONE BUT HIM! INUYASHA LET ME GO LET ME GO LET ME GOOOOOOOOOO! SIIIIIITTTT!" Kagome yelled, forgetting that she was in his arms. Inuyasha smashed down onto the floor, onto Kagome, causing her to get knocked out. Mrs. Higurashi, scared that Kokami would report what just happened to the police, looked up at Kokami and said

"I can explain!" Kokami just looked up from her nails and said "Wha...did I miss something...hey they're on the floor, how did they get there?"

Mrs. Higurashi just sweatdropped. Inuyasha got off of Kagome and picked her up bridal style, he was too sickened by the smell of blood to care why Kagome had sat him.

"Uh, Mrs. Higurashi, why doesn't Kagome like Dr. Sleighmaker.

"He gave Kagome her first shot..."

flashback

4 year old Kagome: MOMMY NOOO PLEASE NOOO MOMMY DON'T LET HIM TOUCH MY BUTT WITH THAT NEEDLE!

Mrs. Higurashi: Kagome please, just settle down.

A doctor with big eyes who was bald and grinned with big buck teeth held Kagome down and BAM the shot went in.

Kagome let out a scream that the whole hospital could hear. She kicked and screamed and kicked the alchohol into the Doctor's eyes.

Dr. Sleighmaker: AAAAHHHHH MY EYES YOU LITTLE BRAT GET OVER HERE!

He blindly chased Kagome and her Mother out of the hospital, ever since the chase of the scary man with the pointy needle, Kagome always feared the hospital

End flashback

"Oh, uh, what's a shot?"

"Oh, nothing."

Inuyasha carried the knocked out Kagome to her room in the hospital layed her down on the strange bed. Inuyasha sat on the edge of Kagome's bed in the room with Mrs. Higurashi...what an akward silence...to be broken by Mrs. Higurashi.

"So Inuyasha, what are you going to get my daughter for Christmas?"

"Huh? Whaddya mean?"

"For Christmas you get your friends gifts silly! So, what are you going to get her?"

"Well, one time I overheard her talking to sango saying she needed a tahm-pawn, whatever that is. Should I get that for her?"

Mrs. Higurashi started to nervously laugh.

"No! No, Inuyasha. Do not get her that. Maybe something meaningful to her.'

"Like what?"

"You think about that Inuyasha..."

As on cue, the Doctor with long sand blond hair pulled back into a ponytail walked in. He was not the same as the Doctor Mrs. Higurashi saw before,he looked quite young, maybe it was his brother or cousin or something.

"Hello, my name is Dr. Takahashi. I will be Kagome's Doctor for today." He shook Mrs. Higurashi's hand.

"What happened to Dr. Sleighmaker?"

"Oh, for some reason, he went home sick after he heard the name Higurashi. Anyway, here are some forms for you to fill out. Ah, and who is this? Is this Kagome's boyfriend"

"What's it to you?" Inuyasha huffed.

"Now now, no need to be harsh. Please go have a seat so I can check up on Kagome." Inuyasha went to sit next to Mrs Higurashi. Dr. Takahashi inspected Kagome's head first, for any injurys from the knockout. Then he inspected Kagome's ankle with some 'ooh's' and 'ouchs'. This lasted for about 5 minutes, when the inpatient hanyou spoke up.

"WELL WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER? IS SHE GOING TO BE OK?"

"Well, I have some good news and bad news. The good news is that she is just knocked out for now. The bad news, her ankle needs to get an xray."

Dr. Takahashi picked Kagome up and set her in a wheelchair and rolled her to the xray room (A/N: one time when i had an ashtma attack i had to go the hospital and i had to get an xray of my lungs so they rolled me in a wheel chair to the xray room! i asked them why, but they said they had to. it was fun!)

Inuyasha stood up to follow the Doctor, since he did know what an x-ray was. Who know's? It could of been some kind of demon for all he knew! That's when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Inuyasha, Kagome will be fine with the Doctor. Now tell me, have you thought about Kagome's gift?"

"Erm, no."

"How about grandchildren?" Inuyasha jumped out of his seet.

"I...uh...what...gah!"

"Calm down Inuyasha I was kidding. You keep on thinking of that gift."

From then on there was on akward silence, until a nurse with black hair and a tight bun in her hair rolled a now wide awake Kagome into the room. She had a red cast on her ankle.

"Kagome!"

"Inuyasha!"

Mrs. Higurashi interupted.

"Um, sorry to ask, but, what happened to Dr. Takahashi?"

"Oh, well, you see, Kagome here awoke with a start, so she punched the Doctor in the nose, and...broke it. He is in the E.R. now."

Kagome just smiled innocently. The nurse then continued talking.

"Anyway, Kagome's ankle is broken in 4 places. She will need to wear this cast for 6 months. She will also need crutches for 2 weeks. Please come back to the hospital for a checkup in two weeks."

Inuyasha just looked dumbfounded. What were crutches? What was a cast? All he knew that Kagome was hurt, and he needed to care for her and protect her until she was better.

"Oh my goodness Kagome! Are you in much pain?"

"No mama, I am OK. Sorry I sat you Inuyasha, I was just going a little psycho."

"Kagome don't apologize. You are hurt and I will take care of you until you are better, even if we have to hold off looking for jewel shards." Kagome just starred at Inuyasha in awe. When did he become so sensitive?She was expecting something like 'whatever' or 'great job wench now how are we going to look for jewel shards with a kriple detector!'

Inuyasha carried Kagome to the car. Inuyasha was silent the whole car ride, thinking of a present to get for Kagome. When they walked in the house, kagome screamed.

"I'M HOOOME!"

Inu, Kag, and Mrs. H walked into the living room...and found everyone, now including Souta, sitting in front of the TV. They had not moved from the position they were in since Inuyasha, Kagome, and Mrs. Higurashi left.

Sweatdrop...
