Chapter 12
"I see and I thought he had finally given up on me" Kagome smiled.
"Yeah me too. I thought he did too" Inuyasha remarked.
"Don't be jealous. I don't love him for the one millionth time. I only like him as a friend" Kagome said softly.
"Yeah right your always flirting with him" Inuyasha started.
"Inuyasha I don't have enough energy to fight with you so lets talk about this later" Kagome dropped her eye lids.
Kagome laid there peacefully while the hanyou looked over her. Inuyasha's heartache disappeared and it began to pump regular. The answers that he seeked had came to him. Relief came over the Higurashi family and tears of joy shed among them. The doctor walked in and wondered why everyone is so happy. He still thought Kagome was going to die and everyone was smiling. Kagome opened her eyes back up and noticed the doctor in the doorway and in no time everyone noticed him there. The nurse walked over to the doctor and was speaking to him outside the room. Kagome then turned back to the hanyou who was still looking at her and holding her hand. Inuyasha's gaze gave Kagome something to really think about. This gaze was never seen on this hanyou's face. It was like he was admiring her beauty, nature, and her personality. Was Inuyasha actually trying to tell her that he loved her? Wait love? Yes love! He was finally getting over Kikyo at last and finally giving into new found love. The love that was denied at first and for so long, was finally giving up on hiding and being denied.
Just think that one thing can bring two people together. Of course Kagome was frightened to lose Inuyasha . She was the key to his heart, but unaware she was the one for him. She was afraid to disappear from this world and ending up in the next. When she was unconscious, all she could think about was Inuyasha and her family. His image and her family images kept showing in her mind. Kagome smiled and grasped Inuyasha's hand tighter. As long as she was in his life, he can be able to laugh, smile, and move forward in life. Things were finally looking up but it didn't help the fact Kaede was dead and Naraku was still alive. The thought of Kaede, Naraku, and Kagome struck Inuyasha. First Kaede ending up dead and then Kagome getting a deadly sickness, gave Inuyasha a reason to blame Naraku. Wait Narkau's fault! Was he the one responsible for the death of the old priestess and Kagome's sickness? After these two events, he learns Naraku is alive. Could it really be his fault then? It seemed to be logical. What do YOU think...you'll be the judge of that.
"Mrs. Higurashi the doctor wants to talk to you in his office" the nurse came back in.
"Okay" Mrs. Higurashi said with a bit of wonderment.
"And I'm afraid visiting hours are up for today" the nurse implied.
"Awe..." Sota's smile dropped.
"We'll visit her tomorrow" gramps practically dragged Sota out of the room.
"I'm staying right here!" Inuyasha began to protest.
"Sorry but you need to leave" -the nurse.
"All hell I won't. I'm leaving Kagome all alone here" Inuyasha took action.
"I'm sorry but no visitors at night!" the nurse's voice cracked and got higher.
"Nurse let the boy be. He loves the girl and he just doesn't want to leave her side" Kagome's gramps backed Inuyasha up.
"Okay I'm going to let this one slide but if I get fired you try getting my job back. YOU HERE!" the nurse began to threatening.
"Guess that worked out for you Inuyasha" Kagome said.
"I'm not going to leave you here Kagome" Inuyasha showed a little sorrow.
"Oh Inuyasha" Kagome mumbled and then closed her eyes again.
The lights dimmed a little and Inuyasha sat by Kagome's side.
"Kagome...why didn't I realize you meant so much to me? Why did it take this long? Why now? I don't get it. Was I suppose to realize it now? So many questions and the answers I can't find and it's driving me crazy" Inuyasha thought to himself.
"He's truly in love isn't he gramps" Sota asked.
"Yes he is Sota. The love was always there and it just needed a little push so it could revel it self" Gramps said with a little wisdom.
Back to the Doctor and Mrs. Higurashi:
"You wanted to see me doctor" Mrs. Higurashi walked into the office and sat down in a chair in front of his desk.
"Yes and please call me Doctor Tojinmi" the doctor insisted.
"Okay Doctor Tojinmi. Do you think there is a way to cure this by now knowing what happened?" Mrs. Higurashi asked.
"Defiantly, we just need some DNA from her so what we need to fight against. Once we do that she needs to take a special medication for about two or three weeks with plenty of rest at all times. Before it was undetectable because we didn't know what we were looking for so now it should be easy" Doctor Tojinmi explained.
"Thank you" Mrs. Higurashi put on a big smile and walked out.
Mrs. Higurashi waltzed down the hall and found her father and son outside the room. Wonderment overcame her and she was about to walk into the room when her father stopped her. He shook his head and she peered into the room's window to see Inuyasha and Kagome together. She nodded in understandment and they walked away, on their way home for the rest of the evening. There Inuyasha sitting in a nearby chair that he pulled right up to the bed side, held the girl's hand, and just looked at her. It was silent and the only noise was the stupid machines and their breathing. Kagome was now sleeping, considering she still was ill, and she used all the energy she could harness. Inuyasha let go of her hand and just watched over her throughout the night. The nurse from before passed the room where Kagome and Inuyasha were, and she smiled on how cute Inuyasha was behaving. He was sitting by Kagome's side and refused to leave it.
Soon enough Inuyasha fell asleep and collapsed and his head landed on the bed. Kagome woke from the noise and saw Inuyasha sound asleep next to her. She brushed the hair from his face and smiled. She then went back to her slumber. Morning broke and Inuyasha was the first one up. Kagome was still sound asleep and Inuyasha blushed when he found that he had been resting next to her. And her sure didn't want anyone to see that he was like that. The nurse came back in, with a tray of food for the hanyou, and Inuyasha didn't say no. The nurse smiled and left the room and then Inuyasha devoured all the food on the tray. Kagome stirred in her sleep and then she fluttered her eyes up to see the stuffed hanyou next to her. She giggled and then the hanyou was alarmed.
"Good morning Inuyasha" Kagome replied.
"Hey, did you sleep well?" Inuyasha said with concern in his tone.
"Yeah but this bed is so uncomfortable. Ha ha ha ha" Kagome began to laugh at her own remark.
"I'm glad your going to live" Inuyasha mumbled.
Kagome stop laughing and put on a serious face on.
"Inu...yasha..." the girl in the hospital bed smiled put out her arm so that the hanyou would take the hand.
Inuyasha responded and took the girl's hand. Kagome quickly pulled Inuyasha closer and she hugged him. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her shoulders as she wrapped her arms around his waist.
"I was so afraid to lose you Kagome. I was afraid to lose another that I love die. My mother died and then Kikyo. I couldn't lose you" Inuyasha rested his cheek on top of Kagome's head.
"Oh Inuyasha" Kagome closed her eyes and tears of joy fell down on her cheeks.
Kagome's mother returned with her own home cooking because she figured hospital food wasn't so good. She was about to walk into Kagome's room but the nurse stopped her. Mrs. Higurashi peered in to the "love birds" hugging.
"They make the cutest couple Mrs. Higurashi" the nurse implied.
"Yes they do" Kagome's mother agreed.
The nurse nodded and walked away.
"It's about time Inuyasha" Mrs. Higurashi mumbled.
"I wonder how Sango, Kohaku, and Miroku are doing. Haven't seen them since the fight with Prince Sekanta" Kagome opened her eyes and pulled away from the hanyou.
"I bet they are doing fine" Inuyasha gave a sweet smile.
"Thank you Inuyasha for staying by my side" Kagome said.
"I love you Kagome" Inuyasha admitted as he blushed.
"What!" Kagome gasped.
