A/N YEA!!! I'M ACTUALLY LOVED!!!! Ok enough of that. But here's the 12th chapter I'm feeling inspired I might just update them all tonight, who knows. Oh well, here we go.
6 Strings of a Guitar
Whiskey Lullaby
Disclaimer: don't own he series or the song the chapter is titled. It's a really sad song though. Brad Paisly sings it I suggest downloading it if you can.
Kagome drove to Keade's house to make sure she was there or not. She noticed her car missing and took off toward the hospital. She pulled into the parking lot and hurriedly went through to find a parking spot. She took off running as she got out of her car,
'Why would he do such a thing?!' She thought to herself running to the stairs, running through the lobby stopping in front of one of the nurses,
"Where is Mr. Higurashi's room?" She asked catching her breath.
"Down the hall and to the right, but miss...." She started but before she could finish Kagome was taking off down the hallway knocking into people on accident, "he's dead." She finished.
Kagome walked into the room, with doctors all around his body,
"Daddy?" She asked hoping he would answer. One of the doctors turned,
"Miss I'm going to have to ask you to leave." He said trying to push Kagome out the door.
"No I have to see my father!" She said resisting.
The doctor looked over at one of the nurses for help. The girl walked over,
"I'm sorry sweet heart, your dad,...he's dead." Kagome tensed up, she swayed back and forth before hitting the hard cold ground. She slowly opened her eyes to wake up to a room and some foul smelling substance under her nose,
"Well it looks like she's awake." A voice said, "Do you know where you are?"
"I'm not quite sure." She said blinking waiting for everything to come into focus, "a hospital room?"
"Right. Do you remember what happened?" Another voice asked her. Everything that had just been told to her came to her and her eyes began to water up.
"My father is dead." She said breaking down into a sob.
"Where's your mother sweetheart?" The nurse from before asked her.
"She lives out in California." Kagome said hiccupping after crying.
The nurse gave her an odd look,
"She's living with me for the time being." Keade had said stepping into the room. "Can I speak to the child for a little while?" She asked, knowing they wanted to be alone, the nurses walked out of the room.
"So what happened exactly? And he was out here and you never told me?" Kagome asked needing answers.
"We knew he was out here, but we couldn't tell you, and it didn't seem like a good idea. He's had a past in this hospital, he's been here for help with alcohol and drugs." Keade said, "He wasn't living in stable conditions and we couldn't take that risk."
"And what happened?" Kagome said pulling her knees to her chest on the hospital bed.
"He drank because he left you and your mom some time ago and has never been the same. He's missed you both dearly, and well he couldn't live on this earth with the love he once had. He tried to drink his pain away, but he never could get drunk enough to get the both of you off his mind. So he ended his pain by shooting himself in the head." Kagome put her hand over her mouth. "They found him face down on the floor, with a note that said, "I'll love them till I die." And well, he died. There was nothing the doctors could do." Kagome began breaking down into uncontrollable sobs.
"Why would he do that?" She asked with tears streaming down her face.
"Alcohol has a weird effect on people. He didn't want to be here without any one to love him. So he shot himself."
Kagome stood up and ran out of the room thru the lobby knocking into people as she made her way out to the parking lot, she reached the door to the stairs and opened it. She fell to the ground in tears and just cried there for a while asking why. After she stopped crying she calmly walked out to her car and drove home.
She climbed the stairs slowly; walking into her room she noticed she had voice mails on her phone.
"I'll check them later I'm sure they'll understand." She said flopping down on her bed and grabbing her notebook. She thought and thought for a long while, remembering things from her past she really didn't want to.
'She put him out, like the burning end of a midnight cigarette. She broke his heart; he spent his whole life trying to forget. So he tried to drink his pain away a little at a time, but he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind. Until the night he put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger and finally drank away her memory, life is short but this time it was bigger. Than the strength he had to get up off his knees, they found him with his face down in the pillow, with note that said I'll love her till I die. And when they buried him beneath the willow, the angels sang a whiskey lullaby. The rumors flew, but they don't know how much she blamed herself. For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath. She finally drank her pain away a little at a time, but she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind till the night she put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger, and finally drank away his memory. Life is short but this time it was bigger. Than the strength she had to get up off her knees. We found her with her face down in the pillow, hanging to his picture for dear life, we laid her next to him beneath the willow and the angels sang a whiskey lullaby.'
She looked to her ceiling, hoping for him to see what she was writing. She missed him and he hadn't even been gone for a day. Her cell phone started ringing,
"Moushi, moushi?" she asked sounding kinda sad.
"Kag, are you ok?" Inuyasha asked.
"No I'm not, I'll meet you down the street in about 10 minutes I really need to talk to somebody."
"Ok." He said and hung up.
She picked up her things and walked out the door. On the way there she started crying,
'I don't really remember anything about him but I loved him.'
"Kagome, what's wrong?" Inuyasha asked running up to her and embracing her in a big hug.
"You remember I left today, well my father was in the hospital."
"Is he ok?" He asked. She looked down to the ground, "Kag?"
"No," She pushed away from him, "No he's not he's dead! I only knew him a short while and he promised he'd be there to see me become famous! Now he can't!" She yelled lowering herself to the ground and pulled her knees up to her chest, to start crying.
Inuyasha squatted down,
"Look I'm sorry. I didn't know." He said brushing hair away from her blood shot brown eyes. "I lost my father too, and my mom. I didn't know how to take it, so I shut myself up from the world. If no one knew then I wouldn't have to worry right? I was wrong." Looking down to the ground, "Ill understand if you don't want anybody to know about it, I won't tell I promise."
She looked into his eyes,
"Thank you." She mouthed.
"Let's get up off this street and go talk some place more comfortable. How does that sound?" He asked offering his hand to help her up.
"Sure." She said taking it.
"Under one condition....." He said Kagome just looked at him funny, "You have to be happy I know it's hard but hey, I did it and I know you can too."
"That's easier said then done."
"I'm only going to do this once so pay attention." Inuyasha got in this gay pose and started singing,
'I feel pretty oh so pretty I feel pretty and witty and gay.' Swinging his arms back and forth, Kagome burst out laughing.
"I knew that would get you to laugh. Now come on let's head to the coffee shop down the road ok?" He said taking her hand and started walking down to the shop.
A/N Ok yeah I know that was a real downer, but hey I thought the last part was pretty funny, I mean can you see Inuyasha doing something like that? But anyways please review!!!!!
