Kagome sat next to him hoping her would come to. She stood over him holding his hand. About a minute or two later his eye lids fluttered to reveal the golden pools which Kagome had begun to love. (Fluff or what?)
He breathed slowly as he recognized her face. Then he realized where he was.
"What happened? Where am I?" He asked her weakly.
She felt tears start to prickle in her eyes. "Oh, Inuyasha..."
"What? What's the matter? Please don't cry Kagome."
"Well... We went to the movies together and you went to get the tickets, but your brother was working there. And he, he shot you Inuyasha! He shot you! And now you're hurt and I can't help you!"
He looked down at his chest and noticed a wound on the right side. He felt hardly any pain for himself but for Kagome. "Oh man... I'm sorry to make you worry... I'll be okay."
"You're sorry! For getting shot! Please Inuyasha don't die on me!"
He looked seriously into her chocolate brown eyes and took her hand in his. "As long as you need me, I'll be here. As long as you feel incomplete, I'll complete you. Until we die or until Judgment Day, I'll be here with you. That's a promise."
She couldn't hold it in anymore. She let her tears flow free like a river from her heart. He saw her pain and embraced her. When he released her she bent down to kiss him on the cheek. He lightly grasped her chin and kissed her passionately.
"Kagome. You're grandfather was right. I do have feelings for you. Even though I've only known you for a few days. I know it sounds ridiculous but it's true."
She blushed scarlet and nodded. "I feel the same way but we'll worry about that later. You need to get better, for us."
He nodded slowly and slipped back in unconsciousness.
She sat next to him for the rest of the ride, holding his hand. Then they took him into surgery to remove the bullet.
A young female doctor greeted her with a smile after she had been sitting in the waiting room for a couple hours. "Are you Kagome Higurashi?"
"Yes, I am. How is he?"
"He'll make a full recovery! He won't have any long term damage but he will need to rest for a week or two. We won't keep him if he wants to go home though. He'll be fine, you're lucky though. A gun that close that didn't go completely through! Wow..."
"Can I go see him soon?"
"He's not awake yet, I'll make sure to get you when he comes to."
"Okay then, thanks so much."
She nodded and left to tend to Inuyasha. Kagome thought now would be a good time to call her mother and give her the news. Mrs. Higurshi was scared to death when Kagome told her. She insisted on coming to the hospital to see them both. So Kagome gave her the directions and told her she would see her soon.
Kagome sat for another 20 minutes before her mother got there. Mrs. Higurashi rushed up and hugged her daughter. "Oh, Kagome are you all right? How's Inuyasha?"
"He'll be okay, they said he's lucky."
Just then the doctor came out and nodded for Kagome to follow her. Mrs. Higurashi told Kagome she would wait for her in the waiting room.
Kagome followed the doctor through a few hallways until they came to a room with a closed door. The doctor left Kagome there and patted her on the shoulder. Kagome opened the door to see Inuyasha laying there reading what looked like a 30 year old fishing magazine.
He looked up to see her there and smiled. "You'd think with all the people in Japan they could spring for a new magazine right?"
She laughed and walked over to the seat next to his bed. "What took you so long to come see me anyway?" He said with a smirk.
"They wouldn't let me see you while you were sleeping. Are you okay?"
He shrugged. "Oh yea! I'll be fine!"
She looked down at his bandage covered chest. "I'm so happy you're still here."
He nodded slowly and looked at her. "They didn't tell you did they?"
"Tell me what?"
"That they almost lost me..." He said in barely a whisper.
"What?"
"They almost lost me Kagome, I almost died. I could feel myself starting to give up and then I thought about the promise I made you. I promised I'd be there for you and I meant it! I saw your face in my mind and I fought to come back! I couldn't let you down... I wouldn't..."
She couldn't hold back anymore. She wrapped her arms around him without hurting him. "Inuyasha you are about the most amazing person I've ever met! I've known you for 2 days and I feel like I've known you my whole life! I feel like I've known you before now!"
He nodded and hugged her back. "Kagome after this episode, I don't think I've got as much time. I only have one life to live and I'm going to make the most of it."
She nodded in agreement. He looked at the tears forming in her eyes. "Here, come lay down with me."
She looked at him like he was crazy. But he pushed over and repeated. "Please, just come lay down."
She nodded and laid down beside him and put her head on his shoulder. After a half hour of him playing with her hair and rubbing her back she fell asleep. "Goodnight Kagome, I love you." He whispered in her ear before nodding off himself.
The doctor came in to check on him but seeing them together he thought it best to leave them alone. After all it was picture perfect.
Sorry for not writing sooner but I was studying for a math test. Hope you like this chapter, I think it's my favourite so far. But that's just me and now that you know if I like it, you can tell me if you do! Reviewers always welcome!
