This was it, the
longest three hours of Inu Yasha's life. He was sitting in the
waiting room, waiting for when kagome went into surgery. It had only
been a few minutes since the doctor had told them they will be
prepping her soon. What the hell that is supposed to mean; Inu Yasha
didn't know; but if it hurt her, the peppers will die. He had
already dressed himself in those special paper outfits that fathers
wore during the birth of their children. In his opinion they should
have been baggier and a black color, not the stupid light blue color.
It wasn't his type of thing.
Sesshomaru had made it to wear Inu
Yasha was aloud to be in the room during the surgery. If kagome was
to possess one of the doctors she'd be done for. Inu Yasha smiled
at the thought; he was important. He was needed for something. Being
her protector was the greatest thing ever!
"Inu Yasha, we are
ready for you." A deep masculine voice broke threw Inu Yasha's
anxiety. Looking up, Inu Yasha just nodded and followed the doctor.
The hallways seemed forever. It seemed to stretch with ever step
they took. The hanyou knew something as wrong. It didn't feel
right, but it had to happen. The jewel was no longer aloud to be in
her body where it could do harm. It was just the idea of them cutting
her open that was making him feel this way, yeah that's it.
The
hanyou stood to the side with a nurse who explained every little
thing that the doctors were doing. When they got to the point where
they pressed the scalpel into kagome's side, Inu Yasha cringed. He
felt a slight pinch. He knew that she wouldn't feel it, but he
wasn't drugged. However, since she was drugged the pain in his side
was barely there, just enough to annoy.
It had been a good 20
minutes until the doctor found the jewel. As soon as the doctor
announced that he found it and was preparing to cut it from her, Inu
Yasha started to panic. Something wasn't right, this was too easy.
He watched at the sergeant grabbed something what looked oddly
familiar to pliers. Reaching out for the jewel, the doctor's aura
started to change, and only Inu Yasha was able to tell.
It all
happened in slow motion. Inu Yasha started to run as fast as he could
toward kagome, but it wasn't fast enough. The surgeon reached put
and grabbed the jewel with the pliers. As soon as the doctor touched
the jewel he froze. A light emerged from within kagome and shot
outwards like a rippled, making everybody in the room fly back into
the wall with enough force to knock them unconscious. Kagome's body
laid there, in the table, as if nothing happened. Inu Yasha stood not
five feet from her panting.
During the blast his necklace started
to glow, giving him strength to withstand kagome's blast.
Looking
at the small hole in kagome's side, he walked closer, to get a
better look. The jewel seemed so small. That little thing was causing
all this trouble? It must hold great powers like the legends
say.
Just them the jewel started to glow. Backing up Inu Yasha
looked around. The bodies of the unconscious doctors and nurses
started to rise. Reaching out for whatever objects that could do the
most damage, the bodies made their way toward kagome and Inu Yasha.
"Shit" Inu Yasha cursed under his breath. Turning back to
kagome he leaned over her. "Kagome, stop this. This isn't what
you want." He pleaded.
Kagome didn't move while the bodies
kept on their journey.
Inu Yasha continued. "Kagome you can't
die. We need you hear, we all do" looking over his shoulder he saw
that two more steps and a doctor would be in attacking range. Turning
back to kagome he placed his head on hers. "Fine if you are going
to do this then I'm going with you. They have to get to me first
anyway. You heard that kagome, I'm going to die with you. You
better be sure this is what you want"
Hearing the doctor stand
behind him, he knew that he was raising his hand for the killing
blow. Grabbing kagome's hand he closed his eyes, waiting for it.
Kagome gasped.
Looking up in a flash he saw kagome's shocked
expression on her sleeping form. Forgetting about the other people in
the room, he reached up and touched her face lovingly. If this was
when he was going to die, then he would leave with no regrets.
Bending down he kissed her check softly. "I'll always stay will
you my kagome".
He felt the doctor behind him bring down
whatever weapon he held down toward his head only to stop just above
the back on his neck. Then the object retraced, followed by the sound
of bodies hitting the floor.
The next thing Inu Yasha noticed was
the jewel glowing in a bright pink color. Gathering his courage, Inu
Yasha reached for it. This was it, the only chance they got to take
it out, and only Inu Yasha peered to be immune to her magic.
This
was it.
He reached his hand inside of her wound and pulled out the
jewel faster than human eyes could see. As a matter of fact, Inu
Yasha was unable to understand how he did it so fast.
Immediately,
everything seemed to be lighter. Taking a deep breath, he turned
toward kagome, only to hold it in. Kagome looked peaceful; more so
that he had ever seen her. Her skin wasn't nearly as pale and her
lips looked to be in what appeared to be a smile. Her aura still held
a deep wound from her experiences, but with the jewel out of her now,
there was hope. He was now able to help her without having to worry
about her possessing everybody.
Looking at the jewel nestled in
his hand he noticed that it wasn't just pink. There was a black
mist, almost, moving around freely within the jewel. Placing it on
the small table next to kagome's bed, he backed away a little.
Kagome had tainted it.
