Chapter 13

"What did I say something wrong?" Inuyasha asked with a rude tone.

"No not at all. I was just wondering how long it would take you to say those words. I love you too Inuyasha. I always did" Kagome jumped up to eye level with Inuyasha and kissed him on the lips.

A small gasp let out and then Inuyasha gave into the kiss. The two kissed for some long time and soon they were discovered when Mrs. Higurashi walked into the room. Kagome and Inuyasha separated and both had red faces. Mrs. Higurashi smiled and then she set the food she had prepared for her daughter at home. I don't think hospital food is good because thankfully I never had to go. She held a basket with all sorts of home cooked items. Kagome smiled with placement and began to gobble down her mother's cooking. A few moans of happiness of the great taste escaped but it didn't last once she had devoured everything. Her daughter was going to be well again and the idea was just too wonderful. Kagome's color was coming back from all the rest she obtained. Medication was being repaired specially for Kagome to cure her sickness. Her blood was drawn earlier because Kagome hated needles so they had to do it while she was sleeping. Inuyasha hated the fact they had to do it but it was the only way. They needed to combined the medicine so that she didn't have to take so many pills but if it came down to that, she would have to.

Today her friends were going to show and it was going to put another smile on her face. Inuyasha hated Hojo and that the fact he liked Kagome too. And then her friends were enough. The last time they couldn't keep there hands to their self's. They kept touching his ears and you know how he gets when people play with his doggy ears. A big frown formed upon the hanyou's face and Kagome just giggled. She knew that Inuyasha hated that the fact her friends loved to touch his ears and that's what made it so funny. Inuyasha stood up and began to stretch while Kagome laid back down and closed her eyes. Inuyasha looked over to see Kagome's almost normal color face to see a smile that had formed when before it was hidden with fear. Things were finally looking up and Inuyasha loved the feeling. In no time Hojo, Ayumi, Eri, and Yuki arrived at the hospital. They came running and stopped at Kagome's room. They peeked in first and then they saw Kagome and Inuyasha together. The three girls pushed their way to Kagome and the girl in the bed opened her eyes to see her smiling friends.

"Yuki! Eri! Ayumi! Your here!" Kagome said with excitement.

"Hey Kagome" Yuki replied.

"How you feeling today Kagome?" Ayumi's was all full of concern.

"I'm doing just fine thank you" Kagome put on a big smile.

Hojo entered the room with a basket full of weird stuff.

"Hojo what is that smell?" Kagome asked as she covered her nose.

"Oh that's something to help you get better" Hojo implied.

"Smells like it's going to make my stomach upset instead of curing it" Kagome said.

Sniff

Sniff

Inuyasha began to sniff the air and caught the foul stench that Hojo had brought. Inuyasha felt dizziness and soon he thought he would be stuck in this hell whole. Kagome laughed and then Inuyasha began to pout. Hojo was clueless like usual and Kagome's friends just laughed along with Kagome. All was good until the nurse came in with capsules in her hands. Medicine that was created by the best doctors and scientists that came up with the right cure for Kagome Higurashi. They discovered the medicine but if it shall fail, then they would have to subscribe her many different medications, and that would suck.

"What is that awful stench?" Inuyasha asked as he covered his nose.

"Why does everyone think it's so awful when it's really good for you" Hojo still clueless.

"Hey Hojo can you set that basket by the window where it can be aired out?" Kagome insisted.

"Okay but I still don't get what the big deal is" Hojo did what Kagome had asked.

"Thanks Kagome. I thought I was going to be sick" All of her friends said at once.

"Girls, will never understand them" Hojo murmured.

"You got that right but this time I understand them" Inuyasha replied.

"Oh Inuyasha you're so funny" Eri said with a giggle.

"I still don't that the fact he puts Kagome in danger sometimes. Even though she goes on her own free will, I still don't like the fact she battles demons in that weird era" Yuki thought.

"Hey is so wrong for her. Hojo and Kagome should be together instead she goes to a demon. I don't understand her decision; its not like he's not nice but the way she described him fits him so well when you see what he looks like. Well it's her decision not mine, in any case she's going to learn from her mistakes" Ayumi also still against Inuyasha.

"Yuki? Ayumi? Why do you look troubled? What are you thinking of in there?" Kagome asked her two friends.

"It's nothing Kagome" Yuki snapped out of her day dream.

"Yeah its nothing Kagome. You shouldn't worry about us, you should be more concern for your health" Ayumi replied.

"You sure?" Kagome still concerned for her friends' behaviors.

"Yeah" Yuki answered quickly.

"Yeah don't be" Ayumi agreed.

"Hey Inuyasha are you hungry?" Kagome asked seeing Inuyasha hasn't eaten anything while she was awake.

"No, I ate already" Inuyasha simply said and left the room so that she can bond with her friends.

The hanyou had left the room and he closed the door behind him. A squeaking noise followed and settled once the door was shut all the way. Hojo smirked for that he can at least talk Kagome out of going back to the Feudal Era without Inuyasha interfering. Ayumi and Yuki were thinking the same, while Eri was happy for Inuyasha and Kagome and their love for one another.

"Kagome you have to dump this bad boy demon guy" Yuki already acted.

"Yuki! Why are you being so cruel?" Kagome asked with an upset tone.

"She's right Kagome. Inuyasha can be nice but he's wrong for you. You shouldn't waste your time with a guy who is going to get you hurt. Look at you now. You got very sick over there" Ayumi agreed.

"You girls why are you ganging up on me? Eri are you going to say something too?" Kagome began restless.

"Kagome I think you and Inuyasha are such a cute couple but now Yuki and Ayumi have a point. You did get very sick from being there and I don't want something like that to happen again. Maybe being there isn't the best for you. Your missing too much school and every time your here, you're always struggling in all the subjects. Do you even know if your going to graduate? Do you know what's going to happen to your education? What happens if we move on and you are left in the same grade? You'll have to go to summer school but you'll still miss that. Kagome you had so much going for you and now your throwing it all away for your new life. Kagome we just care about you and we want the best for you" Eri explained.

"Eri I never would imagine you picking their side when it comes to Inuyasha. You're always against it and agrees with me" Kagome was very surprised.

"Yeah I know but this is different" Eri sort of feeling guilty.

"I totally back up the girls about this Kagome. This whole this is right and what you've been doing is wrong" Hojo spoke up.

"Not you too Hojo" Kagome couldn't believe this.

Kagome looked straight to see the door and the window. She could see Inuyasha standing in the hall waiting to go back into Kagome's room. Kagome was stunned and she wanted someone to back her up.

"INUYASHA! INUYASHA!" Kagome called Inuyasha in.

Inuyasha's ears picked up his name and he quickly entered the room. Hojo, Yuki, Ayumi, and Eri gave an angry glare and left the hospital room. Inuyasha didn't know what was happening but from what Kagome's face, she was really upset. Maybe seeing her friends was too much for her. Tears built up in Kagome's eyes and she couldn't believe her friends. She knew they had a point but mistaking Inuyasha for a bad boy demon guy, they crossed the line. Didn't they see how much he cared about her? Things were getting more complicated and Kagome couldn't consume it all with all the very little energy she held inside her sick body.

"Kagome what happened? What's the matter?" Inuyasha asked gently.

"Why?" Kagome mumbled.

"Kagome what happened?" Inuyasha asked again but with less gentle tone.

"They want me to just forget about you and move on with my life here" Kagome said no more then a whisper.

"What?" Inuyasha's eye brows rose from the surprising answer.

"And Eri she was always backing me up and now she's backing the others up" Kagome's built up tears fell.

"Kagome don't worry about them. They are wrong and they don't understand" Inuyasha tried to make her feel better.

"It's really hard to deal with this now and I'm too tired and weak to worry. I'm going to sleep for a while so don't worry about me Inuyasha" Kagome said and closed her eyes.

Inuyasha nodded and sat in the corner of the room and went to sleep as well.
