Homecoming Court Chapter 6- Rude Awakenings By Red Eclipse
Is it just me or do hospitals always look cold, and are the beds always this uncomfortable? I opened my eyes and realized I really was in a hospital, what the hell happened. "Kagome!" A girl yelled. I was laying right there did she really have to yell?
"Owww!" I protested,. "my ear!"
"Kagome you've been out for a whole week! I've been so worried." Wow these weeks were really going by quick. only a week and a half till homecoming oh no. I don't want that to ever happen. Sango ran and poked her head out the door, "Ayame! Kagome's awake!" Ayame? Ayame's here too? I hope she's the homecoming queen.
"Sango why did I pass out for a whole week?" I asked. I remembered an explosion and something heavy on my lungs but that was all.
"Remember the day at the zoo when the florescent lights exploded?" I nodded, the monkey did it. The big white baboon, did I mention I hate baboons even more now? "Well florescent gas is poisonous and do you remember how Inuyasha saved you?" I shook my head no. "Better that you don't know the details then, but he saved you from getting any more of the fumes in your system, So the ones that did get to you didn't kill you! Unfortunately You did get enough of them in your system that they kept you in a coma like state for a week, but now you fine. " Ayame ran in the room at this point. She ran over to me and hugged me. I choked and she apologized, then she hugged me again.
"I'm so glad your okay! I.. "She choked out through sobs and hugged me a third time. I've only known her for what, about a week while I've been in conscious state. What a loving girl. She better win.
"I'm fine. Wow I feel so loved." I think I was drugged or something cause I felt all light and airy.
"So a big white monkey did it?" Ayame asked. Inuyasha shook his head and Sango blinked a couple of times.
"That's what I said, I told you I hate Baboons." Kagome yelled. She was sitting cross legged on the hospital bed all ready to go. Inuyasha got up and left, leaving only the girls in the room. "So Ayame Sango told me about the Kouga thing but when did you guys start to go out?" Ayame looked down at the floor.
"Well first were not going out,"
"Yeah right, but continue."
"That night at the Blue Cabot, every girl had their time to run to the bathroom crying. He followed me in after Kikyo dissed me. Well we were talking all week at school and on Saturday we went to the movies, that's it." She said shyly. Kagome smiled.
"Ahh , how cute." She cooed.
"That really is adorable how come you didn't tell me?" Sango asked dejected.
"You never asked and it didn't feel appropriate."
"So you guys are boyfriend and girlfriend now?" Kagome asked.
"No, just friends."
"Just friends." Kagome mimicked not believing her. Ayame laughed and shoved her playfully.
"Ohh come on Ayame, we now it's never 'just friends'." Sango laughed. Ayame stuck her tongue out.
"Has anyone heard from Miroku in a while?" Kagome asked.
"I think he's probably talked to your mom by now, I haven't gotten anything for a while. I don't know about Inuyasha." Sango said.
"Who's Miroku?" Ayame asked confused and disappointed that the conversation had changed to something she knew nothing about.
"My brother. He's in a... Uh hospital." Kagome said not knowing how much to tell Ayame.
"Oh." The conversation pretty much pooled out at this point. A nurse walked into the room, "Ms. Higurashi are you all ready to leave?" She nodded. "Okay your final checkup showed no major damage. You don't have P.E. in school right?" She shook her head. "Okay then you can stay away from heavy cardio respitory strains for at least a week." She said. "You can leave now, just sign out at the front desk." Kagome hopped of the bed and looked over to her friends.
"Let's go, I'm tired of being here." She said walking toward the door. She threw it opened and walked straight into Inuyasha. "Owww!" she whined. "Why are you right outside the door?" She yelled at him.
"I was going to give you the letter Miroku just sent to us." Kagome's eyes widened and she pounced at the letter. Inuyasha held it above her and tried to make her jump for it.
"Hey asshole give me that letter!" Sango now joined in kicking at Inuyasha. Kagome pounced at his arm when Sango kicked and grabbed the letter. "Yes! Come on Sango! Run!" She sped off down the hall toward the bathroom. Sango came in panting a few seconds later.
"What's it say?" Sango panted
"I don't know I'm trying to open it. Gahh, someone duck taped the seal. Dammit!"
"Give it here already." Sango ordered. Kagome ran into a stall locking herself in. Sango pounded on the door and shook the walls.
"Stop, I'm trying to open it here!"
"Give it to me already!"
"Uhh?" Ayame was standing at the doorway. "Are you guys okay?"
"Yeah but Kagome won't give me that letter." Sango walked into the stall next to the one Kagome had locked herself into and started pulling herself over the wall.
"Ahh she's trying to kill me! Help Ayame, get a fly swatter!" Kagome burst out of the stall, Sango was clinging to her back holding onto Kagome's hair.
"Give it here!"
"No I'm related to him, and you already got a letter." Ayame slowly made her way toward the door and ran out freaked out over her new friend's behaviors. Inuyasha was standing in the waiting room reading a piece of paper.
"Umm, what is so important about the letter? Kagome and Sango are about to kill each other over it." Inuyasha laughed.
"It not even the letter. I just put a piece of blank paper in the envelope and duck taped and super glued the seal." He cracked up again holding the paper up. "Here's the real letter." Kagome and Sango burst out of the bathroom no and were still fighting over the envelope.
"That's cruel." Ayame tried to hold in a laugh.
"Hey you ripped it, good job Sango!" Kagome yelled. Holding one end.
"I ripped it? You're the one who grabbed the other end!" Sango yelled.
"Okay this is getting boring; I have the letter you idiots!" Inuyasha yelled. The bickering girls looked at him and sprinted toward him. Sango pounced on him, grabbed the letter and sprinted out the front door.
"Damn." Kagome chased after her.
When I caught up with Sango she was crying and staring at the paper. I walked over to her and took the letter from her hand, she didn't protest this time. "It's a letter from his doctor; Miroku won't be out for five..." She broke down in sobs. I scanned the letter. "Noo."
Authors point of view
Inuyasha ran to Kagome when he saw her fall to her knees. He took the letter out of her hands and began to lead her and Sango to his car. He turned around and saw the Ayame girl standing there, "Hey you need a ride?" he asked.
"No. Are they gonna be alright?" She asked looking worried.
"Yeah they'll be fine once there home. Just a little shocking news."
"Okay then. Bye." She turned and left. Inuyasha got the girls in the car and drove to Sango's house. He dragged them into the house and left them sitting on the couch. He then drove to his apartment. He'd lived alone since his mother died when he was 12. He picked up the phone and dialed the hospital. "Hello I'd like to speak with a patient, Miroku Higurashi." he said to the operator.
"One moment please." Annoying music began to play. Inuyasha gritted his teeth.
"Hey dude. Have the girls read the letter yet?" Miroku entered the line.
"Yeah and their both in shock I just drove them home from the hospital."
"The hospital, what? Because of the letter?"
"No Naraku caused a fluorescent gas explosion at the zoo, Kagome passed out for a week."
"The bastard. Have you gotten any closer to locating him?"
"No, Kagome said a baboon did it. She said she saw a giant white monkey crawling on the rafters and it hit one of the bulbs causing a chain reaction of exploding bulbs."
"Damn. Everyone's okay right?"
"Yeah."
"Do you think Sango will forgive me for turning to drugs?" Miroku asked after a long pause.
"I wouldn't know; if you get there in time there may be a possibility."
Sango stirred, took her shoe off, and threw it at Kagome. "Owww. Jerk." Kagome stirred also. The same thought was running through both their heads over and over again. 'Five months.' Sango sighed and stretched out on the couch she was on. Kagome looked over at her. There really was nothing to do but sit back and wait for five months. 'What if we don't graduate together? We grew up together.' Kagome sighed and closed her eyes. But it didn't close out the thoughts.
Eventually Kagome got up and sat on the porch. The evening light was beginning to fade and the moon was barely a shiny pale beacon in the still blue sky. Everything about the day had been depressing and she felt stiff and awful. Having just woken up after a week she felt like she had missed half her life and then everything coming down on her in the past few weeks, a gang targeting her, Miroku gone, Inuyasha following her, almost dieing in a toxic explosion. She sighed and stood up. Placing a ladder against a wall she climbed up and sat on the roof. Finally completely alone, she broke down. Tears streamed down her face. Someone sat next to her and put their arm around her. Kagome was blinded by tears to see who it was and she sobbed into the person's shoulders for a while.
"Why are you crying?" She blinked a few time and saw Inuyasha sitting next to her.
"How come you always pop out of nowhere? I wanted to be alone." She protested.
"Why are you crying?" He asked again waiting for her answer.
"Why do you think? Everything falling apart. Miroku's in a Methadone Clinic, his drug dealer wants me dead; I'm never alone any more. Everything's caving in and blurring together."
"Do you really want to be alone though? You don't seem like the type that really wants to be alone." She looked at him when he said that. He had closed his eyes and wasn't looking at her. She looked at the ground and thought for a moment. Her life was falling apart and he was right, she really didn't want to be alone now or ever really. She wanted her brother to be home and Sango to be happily dating him. You can see it in her eyes whenever she said something about him. That's all she wanted, to see everyone around her happy. But what did she want for herself.
She sighed not liking all the questions Inuyasha put in her head. She stood up and walked to the edge of the roof. She felt power in that spot. A hand was suddenly around her waist. It tugged and she was pulled away from the edge. "Hey! You butt hole!" She protest after she was moved.
"You'd rather fall you idiot?" Inuyasha glared at her. His violet eyes looked angry at her for putting herself in danger.
"Relax Inuyasha. I won't fall. I wouldn't want anyone thinking I was weak and gave up the fight by jumping off a roof." He rolled his eyes and sat at the edge of the roof, his feet dangling over the edge of the roof. She scrunched her nose up at him and looked at the increasingly darkening sky. The moon was beginning to shimmer. He followed her gaze and was stricken with the same thrill of hope she mumbled something about before. "Hey Inuyasha what day is it?" Kagome asked closing her eyes letting the moon rays shine around her. He lifted and eyebrow, "Sunday." He mumbled.
"Oh Crap."
A/N- Hey hi how ya doing? It's 12:30 right now. I just finished this and realized I have no idea what's gonna happen until the false ending I have planned. We'll have to see if I screw it up or not. Someone has to tell me if I'm screwing it up now. Well I hope you enjoyed, don't forget to review!
TESTING IS OVER! YEAH! WOO HOO! No more bubbles to fill in or pencils to throw at people! But Christina and Jessica (two of my friends obviously) threatened to come to my house tie me to a chair and put make up on me if I didn't go to all of the eighth grade activities. So I have to go. I don't think they were kidding shudder
