Hi everyone who bothers to read. Here is the new chapter for (new title) "Waking Dream". Thank you all for being so understanding with me when I erased this I sometimes amaze myself with my stupidity. Anyway, here's chapter 8.
Waking Dream
ch.8
I woke up to find myself in a hospital bed. There was a doctor in the room but I didn't bother asking him why I was here since my throat was hurting.
I switched my gaze and looked at the large window that led to a hallway in the hospital, the blinds were open enough for me to see my mother approaching the room. She walked in and spoke softly with the doctor, too soft for me to hear.
The doctor then left my room and my mom turned to me. She brightened when she saw me and said:
"Oh Kagome you're awake!"
I simply nodded, my throat still hurt.
"we've all been so worried about you, all of your friends have come to see you including Sango"
I was able to recover enough of my voice to ask her "what happened?"
"you don't remember?"
I shook my head
"Kagome, two days ago at night you began to cough, and started yelling for me. When I walked into your room you were hardly breathing so I called an ambulance. I asked them what had happened to you but they don't know. You simply went into some sort of comma for a while. Oh, Kagome I was so worried."
She's not telling me something, I can't just go into a comma for no reason. She seems too...fake. Something happened to me. Ugh. I just wish I could remember that night!
She looked at me with worried eyes
"dear you seem tired, you should get some rest"
"cough that's all I've been doing lately mom cough but I am kinda tired..."
I guess the effects from the anesthetics they had given me earlier (which I found out when I woke up) really knocked me out because the next time I woke up I was finally able to speak and I felt like I was more recovered...from whatever I had.
Sango came to see me later that day and I asked her what had really happened.
She looked at the floor "I'm not going to lie to you Kagome, the doctors say you must have been sleepwalking and have drunk some poison" then she looked at me "there just isn't any other explanation for what happened"
"I don't get it, what's the big deal. Why didn't my mom tell me the truth?"
"Be...because they think it was a subconscious suicide attempt and she probably didn't feel it was the right time to tell you...oops, I guess I just did, oh well"
"what?" I stood up from my bed, which I regretted since it made me dizzy "I would never do that, Sango you don't believe I would do you?"
"although I haven't known you for very long I get the feeling you're not that kind of person"
"I'm not, trust me"
"I do" she looked at me in the eyes "but your mom is worried, she told me you were seeing a psychiatrist after you cut yourself one time...sleepwalking"
"I was not sleepwalking!" tears began to sting my eyes at that moment "it's so frustrating...she's so afraid that's I'll do something to myself that she doesn't trust me anymore"
Sango moved towards me and placed a hand on my shoulder "do you want to tell me about it?"
I looked up at her brown eyes. And there it was again, just like the first time we met, she looked so familiar I can trust her.
I rested my head on the pillow and nodded my head, I told her about my dreams while she silently listened. I left out the fact that I had fallen in love with...whoever that guy was that made me feel so light headed when I remembered what little part of him I could.
"I remember having another dream that night but I don't know what happened"
"maybe you should keep seeing this psychiatrist"
"I am, but I don't like him...he's so creepy, and his hair is like longer than mine"
"what does his hair have to do with anything"
"I don't know, but the other thing is that he's always wearing sunglasses, I have no idea what eye color he has"
"again, how is that important?"
"hmm, I dunno, maybe I'm just being paranoid, but even though I don't like the guy, I get this feeling that I must always tell him some part of the truth or..."
Sango nodded "I understand, you just gotta give it some time, you'll get used to it, you'll see"
"maybe...hey Sango, how long have I been here anyway?"
"two whole days, tomorrow's Friday"
"what!" I sat up again on the bed abruptly which caused me some pain in my head
"don't worry, they're letting you out tomorrow at 10AM, the doctor says you're pretty stable now"
"well, I guess that's good. Anything new at school?"
"not really"
At that moment my mom came in. She looked at the both of us with a pleasant smile
"Kagome" my mom said "how are you feeling?"
"better, thanks"
"oh, Ayumi from the office called and asked me to remind you that tomorrow you have the appointment with Dr.Arach"
"that's right I'd forgotten" I said slowly. Then I remembered something else" hey Sango hand me the yellow pages over there please"
She walked over to a small table with magazines and took out the yellow pages from the small stack of things. She then walked back and gave it to me.
"what are you going to do honey?" my mom asked
"call Inuyasha, I have to tell him I can't see him tomorrow"
I looked up his mother's last name and then dialed the number when I found it. The phone rang twice until a soft voice picked up the phone.
"hello?"
"hi, is this Inuyasha's house?"
"yes, who's this?"
"it's Kagome Higurashi, I need to speak to him if that's alright"
there was a short pause
"kagome! Oh my god I can't believe it's you, it's been such a long time"
"I know. I'm surprised you remembered me"
"who could forget such an adorable little face" Apparently Inuyasha couldn't. She continued talking "you must be quite the boy magnet by now "
I started to blush "ahem, well, no, not really..I mean I've been asked out but I haven't really accepted"
"good, you pay attention to your studies now. Are you friend's with Inuyasha again?"
"um, kinda, I guess...we're doing a project together for a class"
"I see, well I'll put him on the phone now, it was nice talking to you again dear"
She put down the phone and a few moments later he picked up the phone
"What!"Inuyasha yelled
"could you be any ruder?" I yelled back "anyway that's not why I'm calling, I can't meet you tomorrow after-school so I think we should meet Saturday at noon, in the library"
"I told you, Saturday is my day off, I ain't goin'"
"Inuyasha, please, don't be so stubborn, I have to be somewhere at 3 tomorrow and I can't go"
"well, it's tomorrow or never"
"I'm tired, and I don't feel like arguing, we can meet at five tomorrow outside my house, ok?"
"where do you live?"
That got me angry, he had been to my house a million times when we were little and he didn't remember where I lived!
"I live in the Higurashi shrine"
"am I supposed to guess where that is?"
"a lot of people know where it is, you can ask around. Bye now"
And I hung up.
I put the phone on the table next to my bed and lay down on the hospital bed feeling exhausted.
"well, you look tired" Sango said with a sly smile on her face.
I simply gave her an evil stare. My mom had already left, I think I'd heard her say Sota was alone with grandpa in the house, then a worried expression on her face as she ran out of the room saying a hurried bye while I talked on the phone.
I would have done the same. Never trust gramps with children. The house almost caught on fire when he was trying to make Sota some food while mom and I went shopping one time.
Sango left a half hour later after my mom, and after watching some tv (which I had in my room) I fell asleep wondering what was in store for me tomorrow.
That's the end for this chapter. Sorry it took me so long to update but I've had so much homework and I've had to study for my AP exam which was a killer and I think I failed. Anyway, now that that's over I think I'll have more time to update (then again finals are coming up in two weeks) but after that it's summer, and then I will update like a mad dog. Please review. Bye!
