Inu Yasha had made his way to school. He sat down in his seat, only to be disappointed when Kikyo wasn't in hers. He had a thousand questions to ask her, and she wasn't there; figures.
Kikyo made her
way threw the streets of Tokyo. Finally, after some time traveling,
she found the entrance to the hospital. Immediately she felt the
presence of the jewel. She followed the feeling threw the hospital.
Finally she reached it. She had made her way to a large white
room, with clean metal utensils everywhere. This was where they
operated on kagome. She looked threw the door to see two men standing
there, examining the jewel.
"What do you suppose it is?"
asked man 1.
"I don't know, but it's probably worth a lot of
money" said man 2.
"Yeah, do you think that it's a family
heirloom?"
"I don't know, but why would they put it in the
girl's body?"
"Should we keep it?"
"No, if it was in
her body, then it's obviously important" They placed it in a
small plastic bag and sealed it. Man 1 placed it on the small
operating tray and headed for the door. Man two followed.
Kikyo
waited for the men to leave, then walked in and grabbed the bag. She
made her way threw the hospital until she found the exit.
She
walked out and around until she found the entrance to the emergency
room. Very carefully she walked up to the lady behind the desk and
smiled. "Hello, my name is Kikyo, and I am here to see my cousin,
Kagome Higarashi."
"Oh my, I didn't know she had any cousins
in the area" The nurse smiled sweetly. She started to look for the
information.
"Yeah, I came in for a surprise visit and they
weren't home. The neighbors told me what happened." Kikyo was
always good at lying, and it did come in handy, although she wasn't
lying too much. She did come to see kagome, to tell her that they
were a few weeks away from when she fell in, but no one was there.
And the neighbors did tell her what happened.
"aww here he go,
she's in room 231"
"Thank you" Kikyo replies, the started
her journey to find this room 231.
It didn't take long for Kikyo
to find the room and when she did, kagome was alone and unconscious.
While walking to the bed Kikyo took the jewel out of the bag. She
held it in her hand and placed it on kagome's chest. She started to
chant in some strange language, and then the jewel disappeared.
With
that, Kikyo left the room and headed for the exit.
School had
just gotten out and Inu Yasha headed for the hospital. After a few
minutes of running he reached it and to his surprise Kikyo was
leaving.
Inu Yasha stopped right in front of Kikyo. "What are
you doing here?" he asked, somewhat politely.
"I did something
that had to be done" and with that she tried to walk past Inu
Yasha, who didn't let her.
"Like what?" he asked, angered,
scared, and hopeful.
Kikyo smiled "They took the jewel from her
body, I simply put it back." She walked past it.
"Did you
hurt her" Inu Yasha called to her; more than worried.
"I did
not, but the jewel will help her heal faster."
Inu Yasha smiled.
"Thank you Kikyo"
Kikyo stopped and turned. She smiled. "It's
a priestess's duty"
"I'm sorry for what happened…you
know between us"
"Kikyo's smiled faded "no need for
apologies. We were not meant to be."
Inu Yasha frowned and
walked into the hospital. He knew that she was right, but he still
felt bad for dating her because she looked like kagome.
Inu
Yasha headed for kagome's room after the lady told him where it
was.
He slowly opened the door to see a sleeping Sango, and
unconscious kagome. He walked over to the bed, sitting on the chair
closest to kagome. He reached out and touched her hand; she was cold.
"I'm so sorry kagome, if I would have turned around right
when I smelled the demon this wouldn't have happened." He moved
the chair as close as he could and held her hand between is own. "I
don't know what I would do without you, it was hard enough trying
to manage all those years before, but you just moved then. I would be
able to see you once in a while, but death"
He reached up and
gently pushed away hair from her face. She every so slightly moaned
and turned her head. That's when he saw it. She was wearing the
necklace that he gave her. Then it hit him; she always wore it. He
smiled at this.
Little did he know, Sango has just entered the
room and pretended to be asleep when she realized Inu Yasha had just
opened the door. Her heart leaped for joy when she heard the Hanyou's
confessions.
"I'm going to go grab some grub from the
cafeteria." He looked over and Sango and smiled. "Sango here will
protect you" he tuned back to Kagome and kissed her hand. "Besides,
Miroku is on his way here and would allow anything to happen to her."
He leaned close and started to whisper. "He's in love with her
you know".
Sango's hears stopped and Inu Yasha notices this.
He blushed from embracement.
'Oh shit, she's awake' he
yelled in his head. 'But for how long?'
"Well, I will be
back shortly. Don't you dare wake up before I get back". He stood
and walked out of the room, making sure not to look in Sango's
direction
