Chapter Seventeen: A short SHARP Shock
Part 2
Rin opened an eye, her vision was blurred, and she could see flashes of red and blue against the dark sky.
"Poor kids, we found them there, lying in blood, holding hands ...we thought they were dead"
'Am I dead?' Rin wiggled her fingers to find them tightly entwined with Sesshoumaru's. She let her hand leave his and tried to sit up to see. She could see white hair against the dullness of the surroundings, she realised it was raining.
There was a sniff "I always knew they were made for each other..."
MIROKU?
She fought for control over her body from the pain and sat up, creating a small ripple in the red liquid, which she assumed to be blood. It was difficult to tell where her blood ended and his began.
"Rin's awake!" Miroku's voice declared.
"Miss. Rin, you should not be trying to move!" another voice said hurriedly, she didn't know this one.
She gazed at Sesshoumaru's body, he lay with his face to the side, his cheek in the blood and a hilt of a dagger in his back. He wasn't moving.
"Sesshoumaru! Sesshoumaru!" She tried to crawl forwards to him but someone was holding her back "LET ME GO! SESSHOUMARU!!!!!" she struggled against their grip.
---
The medics rushed around Sesshoumaru in swarms. They couldn't say anything to the girl, who was obviously in shock, but they were worried. The boy was not responding, and if he didn't wake soon...
He was going to die.
---
Sesshoumaru was in half-consciousness, he could faintly hear what sounded like a siren. So, he was alive, right?
...R-right?
He was suddenly on the cliff again, so ... he was dreaming, yet again. There stood Rin, her hand held out. He reached out a hand, but something on his wrist felt heavy.
'Shit, sir, I don't feel a pulse...''Get the paddles, we've got to shock him'
'Yes sir'
'And not a word to the girl, or his brother. They shouldn't have to see'
'No, sir, not a word'
The girl? Sir? His brother? His head was spinning and so was his vision and then he felt something warm for a second, then it was gone and replaced by...HOLY SHIT that hurt. Something twitched in his chest.
'I got a rhythm, sir''Good, he should come around soon'
---
Rin watched as they shocked Sesshoumaru, each one making her shake with fear and hope.
'Please don't be dead...Please don't let him be dead...They declared him alive and said he'd come round soon, Rin would have jumped for joy had she not had the wound. She sighed deeply and fell into unconsciousness as she was given an anaesthetic
---
Sesshoumaru opened an eye; Miroku was beaming at him. 'Damn, looks like I've died and gone to hell...'
"You are awake, finally! We were getting worried, were we not Inuyasha?" Miroku said happily.
"I wasn't" Inuyasha said stiffly. "Dad was though, he practically had kittens" he imitated Inutaisho's voice "'The moron, Sesshoumaru, why did he get himself involved with Naraku? Oh, is he ok, doctor?'"
"Inuyasha, you sound nothing like me" Inutaisho said from the door with a sly smile on.
"Where am I?" Sesshoumaru demanded.
"Hospital, stupid" Inuyasha snapped. "Miroku's step-dad Mushin nearly ran you over!"
"Where's Rin?!"
"Rin is sleeping" Inutaisho said calmly"I asked you where"
"The next room on the left"
Sesshoumaru leaned forward and then winced, apparently he was not going anywhere.
"Sesshoumaru, you shouldn't move" Miroku said
"Gee, Miroku, and you couldn't have told me that BEFORE I got up," Sesshoumaru said lamely, plopping back onto the bed.
"I knew you'd understand!" Miroku said, leaving "I'll go see Rin-chan"
---
Rin groaned, her head hurt, her chest hurt...
"Where am I?" she said slowly, opening her eyes and leaning forwards.
"In hospital, don't worry we haven't let the boys in." Kagome said, she was sitting next to Rin who was on a bed.
"W...Why?" Rin asked, then she realised the doctors had taken off her shirt. "EEP!"
"They've just gone to get some more bandages"
"Let me innnnnn" moaned Miroku's voice from the door.
"No, Rin-chan has no shirt on!"
"I repeat" Miroku sounded happier now "Let me in!"
"Perve!" Sango, who was standing by the window yelled.
"You know you love me really" Miroku whined
Sango fumed. "N-no...you pervert..."
"I'm leaving" Miroku said, somewhat hurriedly "Sesshoumaru is awake, by the way"
The doctors came in with bandages, Miroku ran away, closely followed by Sango.
"They've just run off to make out," Kagome said.
"I HEARD THAT!" Bellowed Sango
"I said it loud!" Kagome yelled, "She knows its true" she said in undertone.
---
"So...what happened to Naraku?" Sesshoumaru asked, leaning back on the pillows. Inuyasha and Inutaisho exchanged glances.
"Dead" Inuyasha said darkly.
"How?" Sesshoumaru asked
"Well, Miroku and Mushin were driving me home and nearly ran over Naraku, who was stabbing Rin. When the police got there he tried to go for them, like some kind of madman, they shot him about 10 times before the bastard went down" Inuyasha said slowly."At least he died suffering" Sesshoumaru snorted "Pity I didn't get to kill that mother fucker myself"
"Sesshoumaru!" Inutaisho snapped.
"Uh, Dad, did you miss the part where he was stabbing me? Or blowing me up? I wanted to kill the little shit face" he thought for a while and then added, "Remind me to spit on his grave sometime."
Inuyasha saluted "Will do"
"Alright I get it" Inutaisho grumbled.
"So, he's dead..." Sesshoumaru said thoughtfully
"Rin-chan has no shirt on!" Miroku said, walking in slightly red.
"What?!" Sesshoumaru snapped, leaning forward angrily.
"They didn't let me in or anything!" Miroku said hurriedly at Sesshoumaru's murderous expression.
"What happened to your face?" Inuyasha asked, "You're all red"
"When running from beautiful girls such as Sango, one has to-"
"Houshiiiii!!!!!!!"
"I'm not here!" Miroku said quickly, hiding behind a doctor's curtain.
Sango appeared at the door "Have you seen Houshi?"
Inuyasha, Inutaisho and Sesshoumaru pointed to the curtain, Sango slung it open. He wasn't there.
"That's not funny" Sango hissed, leaving.
"Miroku?" Inuyasha said, "Where'd you go?"
"Under here" a voice from under the bed said slowly. "I knew you guys would sell me out, so I moved"
Miroku moved out from under the bed.
"What'd you do to piss her off like that?" Inuyasha asked. "She only calls you Houshi when you really piss her off"
"Well..."
---Flashback---
"They've just run off to make out," Kagome said.
"I HEARD THAT!" Bellowed SangoMiroku stopped running and turned around to Sango, beaming.
"You pervert!" Sango snapped, smacking him on the head.
"You know you love me really!" Miroku said happily"Maybe I'd like you if you stopped being a pervert!" Sango said, blushing slightly.
"I will if you go out with me," Miroku said, suddenly serious.
Sango blushed furiously "Seriously?"
"Seriously!"
"Um...ok" she said shyly.
Miroku beamed and hugged her.
"Now, will you bear my child?" he asked.
Sango opened her mouth to say no when she realised the location of his right hand.
"PERVERT!!!!!!"
She drew her hand back and gave him the hardest slap to have ever graced the planet. He turned and ran.
"GET BACK HERE, I HAVEN'T FINISHED WITH YOU!"
---Flashback end---
"Does that mean she wont go out with me?" Miroku said thoughtfully.
"It just might" Sesshoumaru said slowly, Inuyasha laughed.
'Weird' Sesshoumaru thought 'Yesterday I was worried about being blown to smithereens and today I am troubling myself with Miroku's love life. Then again, ANYONE would be troubled by his love life...I suppose it is all over now.'
"SESSHOUMARU!" Miroku yelled into his ear.
"Eh...what?" Sesshoumaru said, jerked back into reality.
"Rin is here. We'll be leaving...I'll go" Inutaisho and Inuyasha headed out of the door, as did Miroku, but not before giving Sesshoumaru a suggestive wink.
Rin was at the door, wearing bandages and a hospital gown. She came in and sat down next to him.
"You're ok now?" she asked.
"Yeah." He said.
"Ummm..."
"Uh..."
Ok, this was awkward...
"Sesshoumaru I-"
"Rin I-"
"REALLY LIKE YOU!" They burst out at the same time.
They both stared at each other, blinking and blushing. Sesshoumaru smiled and Rin giggled slightly, they both leaned in and...
"Cuuuute!" Miroku said from the door, he had stars in his eyes.
"I thought you were going!" Sesshoumaru snapped, turning around, slightly red.
"I was going" Miroku said seriously, crossing his arms "Going to watch"
"Pervert" came Inuyasha's voice.
"You and Inuyasha are so lucky you've got someone to be cute with" Miroku said admiringly.
"Me?!" Inuyasha snapped "I don't-"
He was cut off as Miroku gave a cough that sounded undeniably like 'Kagome!'
Sesshoumaru and Rin laughed as Inuyasha strangled Miroku. Sesshoumaru pulled Rin closer to him, she smiled and snuggled next to him. She could have sworn she heard Miroku whisper to Inuyasha "See, see? And you doubted me! What was it you said? 'Sesshoumaru has got far too big a stick up his ass to find a girl, it's beneath him'" Sesshoumaru's eye twitched and he glared at his brother, who smiled innocently.
It was over now, at least.
The End.
With thanks to:
Lindorie-Chan – For keeping me going (forcefully).Raurenu-Chan – For being interested even though you couldn't get online.
GrapesForAll – For always reading it even though I was evil.
And thank you all my reviewers!
I can't believe I finished! I was gonna write an alternate ending where they died but I couldn't bring myself to do it! Man, I suck at tragedies! I can't believe I finished so quickly, It's probably because I update so quick... (Lindorie-Chan's fault!) Ah well, bit of advertisement.
Read 'Teaching Sango'!

Love you all! -
(And anyone who reviews after I finish, I probably wont be able to answer because I wont really know how to put it up. But I will check out your fictions cause I have some more free time now!)
