I don't own anything.
Lost in darkness.
"Quick, page the doctor! Higurashi stopped breathing!" She ordered the receptionist. Inuyasha quickly stood up and ran to the nurse.
"She what?" He asked gruffly, afraid of the answer, as he grabbed her wrist. "Her heart stopped. The heart monitor…it's a straight line." She said as she out a comforting hand on his shoulder. "You have to come; she might come back if she hears your voice." She said as she pulled him to E.R. He shook away the forming tears and quickly followed the nurse. He couldn't lose Kagome, he needed to see if Kagome would come back…back to him.
"Quick! We must hurry. "She yelled as she slammed open Kagome's door.
(Inu's p.o.v)
The second he stepped into the room his heart stopped. The moment he saw the limp form of a lifeless girl, made him want to collapse. He saw a pale, lifeless look-alike Kagome. She wasn't breathing, her chest was still and her eyes were closed; she looked asleep, she was on the edge of death and she welcomed it with both arms. Tears ran down his face as the monitor remained a straight line. 'Why? Why are you giving up?' He heard the moving and orders of the doctors silently behind him. He slowly made his way to her and looked down at her pallid figure. She bore a blank expression on her face, and he wanted to break down then and there.
"Ready? CLEAR." The doctor yelled as he placed the things (sorry don't know what they are called. If you know, tell me and I'll fix it.) Her body lifted and yet she still remained motionless.
"Talk to her. She might hear you." The nurse yelled. 'What's the point? She's so stubborn, she won't listen. That idiot. I'll make you come back, even if it kills me.'
"CLEAR. Again. CLEAR." Nothing. "She's leaving us doctor." The nurse yelled. Inuyasha heard loud crying and turned to the door to see a hysterical Sango crying out to Kagome. Miroku tried to hold her back with great difficulty as she struggled harder and harder to come in.
"Kagome, please listen to me. Come back. Don't leave us Kagome, don't leave me. Don't…don't…" He was unable to continue as the pain started to travel through him. "Kagome. KAGOME YOU IDIOT, WAKE UP!!!!!!!"
I looked around the dark place I was in. 'Where am I? Am I…dead? Is it over? I feel no pain. I feel no pain. I am dead. The others can move on now. They can live their lives like they are supposed to. They have nothing to worry about now; they will no longer feel pain. I can move on now. I can finally reunite with my family. I can see them again, and Souta, he'll be fine. He won't feel pain anymore. I must find them; they must be waiting for me. I ran into more darkness and saddened when I couldn't find my way out. "What's going on? Where are they? MOM? DAD? SOUTA? WHERE ARE YOU?" I looked around and was alone…alone in the darkness. Alone in the darkness. Maybe Souta, mom and dad is too They can't find each other, they're all alone. I must help them. I ran again to nowhere and only saw darkness. I couldn't see anything, not a living soul. I continued to run frantically and finally stopped; I fell on my knees and cried. "All I see is darkness. Am I lost in my own nightmare? My heart is already plagued with darkness, why must I confront it? Where is everyone? Must I suffer here too? Then what was the point of dying? Can someone explain it to me because I obviously missed it!" I yelled to no one. I stood up and trembled with the anger and sadness that boiled inside me. "Where is my family? I'm supposed to be with them. Why must you keep tearing us apart? ANSWER ME. WHO KILLED MY PARENTS? WHY US? WHY? NOW THAT I FINALLY GAVE UP, I STILL CAN'T BE WITH THEM?" I screamed with all my might that I fell on my knees again. Tears rolled down my cheeks and I caught one. I looked at it and saddened. "I feel the pain rise in me again. Is there no escape? I thought death was the answer. Is it only to keep reminding you your most blood screaming memories? Then that means...my brother will never escape from torture. He will remember how it feels and live it again for eternity. My mother sees her husband get brutally murdered and the gun ending her life. I don't get it. Why? What are the reasons for being alive and for being dead? What are you supposed to do? Were we just cursed?
"Kagome." I suddenly looked up and searched for the caller. "Kagome, you promised you would look for me. Why are you leaving me?"
"Souta? Souta is that you?" I yelled as I quickly stood up and waited to see where it was coming from. His voice echoed, where the hell would he be? He was crying, his voice still shook from his cries.
"You lied. You said you were going to protect me. Why did you leave me to suffer? There you are free and I'm here living in hell." He yelled angrily. His words strung me hard. No, no it's not true.
"No Souta, no. I've never stopped thinking of you. I don't know where you are, if you're dead or alive. Tell me where you are." I cried.
"Wake up Kagome. Wake up. Don't leave me here alone."
"Wake up? I…I can't. I can't stand the pain…I'm sorry. I'm sorry your sister is a coward. I can't." I cried.
"Kagome, come and help me. Wake up."
"I want to die. I can't stand it anymore. I can see them. In my sleep, when I dream…every time I close my eyes. I can see the murderer's eyes, that evil glint in his eyes. I can see mother's lifeless eyes staring into mine. That smile plastered on her face to calm me down, blood slowly coming out of her mouth. I see it all and I can hear Him. What am I suppose to do?" I said, forcing every word out and holding back the hysterics.
Kagome. Kagome. Kagome, please listen to me. Come back. Don't leave us Kagome, don't leave me. Don't…don't…
I heard distant shouts, someone calling my name. I turned to where they were coming from.
"Help me. I need your help." His voice started to become faint.
"Souta, no. Don't go. Tell me where you are."
Kagome. Come back. Don't die on me
"Who are you? Where are you?" As I listened closely, I recognized the voice. Inuyasha. He's calling out to me? He's crying for me.
Kagome. KAGOME YOU IDIOT, WAKE UP!!!!!!!
I'm coming. I'll save you Souta. If you are dead, I'll make sure you rest in peace. I will save you. I'm coming Inuyasha.
"She's not coming back. She's gone, we lost her." The doctor sighed. Inuyasha broke down at the words; the only sound that filled the room was his cries and the monitor's straight line. One of the nurses placed a comforting hand on his shoulder and led him out of the room. As she opened the door, he saw Miroku hugging a crying Sango on the floor. The sight made him cry more and he leaned on the wall for support. "No, no, no, no. NO. Kagome no." He glanced back at her lifeless form and slid down the wall to the ground.
"She promised…she promised me we were going to stick together forever. No. We're family. She's my family. She lied to me." Sango said angrily.
"She wasn't strong enough. She's in peace now, she can be happy." Miroku whispered to her.
"No, no. I want her here. I didn't even tell her she was the best friend I ever had. I only kept bickering how much pain she gave us. It's my entire fault. No wonder she didn't want to come back." Inuyasha sat on the cold floor and buried his face in his hands. He banged his head on the wall every once in awhile, still trying to block out the realization of Kagome no longer being there.
The door swung open and the nurse yelled, "SHE CAME BACK. SHE'S COMING BACK."
Inuyasha quickly stood up and ran inside…ran to where she lay. He looked up to the monitor and the lines were no longer straight. She was coming back. He grabbed her hand and whispered. "Yes, come back. Please, come back."
"This is very rare, they never come back. We can't keep our hopes up but we will do what we can" One of the male nurses told Inuyasha.
"That's not enough dammit. I need you to do your very best." he spat.
"Like I said we'll do what we can." 'Kagome, I need to feel your presence. Don't give up now.' He thought as he grabbed her hand and closed his eyes.
"QUICK! We can still bring her back. She's fighting right now. Come on people, let's help her." The doctor ordered. Still no progress; it's like she's stuck.
Inuyasha studied her ghostly face, she looked like she was finally resting. Her face wasn't scrunched up in fear or anger. No cries of pain escaped her lips. She looked peaceful. Was he keeping her from being free? Should he just let her sleep? His pale sleeping beauty, she cried for salvation and now she has it. It would be wrong to bring her back from happiness.
"I don't think you should keep your hopes up; she may not make it through. Maybe you should go outside." The nurse told Inuyasha.
"Let me ask you something; what…what are the chances of her…coming back?" He asked shakily. The nurse smiled warmly and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"The only thing I can tell you is when the time comes, it's better to let go; time will heal." Inuyasha let a tear roll down his face as he heard that he was going to lose Kagome. All this hoping and dealing with her death was becoming too much for him. Was she really trying to come back or was she doing this on purpose? Was she laughing as he raised his hopes up each time the nurse screamed 'She's coming back! She's coming back'?
Anger, sadness and pain filled his every nerve. He clenched his fists and turned his back to her. "The suffering stops here. No more."
"Inuyasha!" Inuyasha fell on his knees as he heard her voice.
