CHAPTER 3
She(Kagura) had just reached the ER when Sesshomaru was rushed in . Inspite of his cuts and bruises which marred his beautiful face Kagura could make out his delicate features...Damn !What was she thinking ! Hastily shaking her head as if that would rid her of the disturbing thought Kagura proceeded to check the patient's pulse.It was irratic.Nurse Shikuzi exclaimed "Oh dear me! he does look battered, doesn't he , Dr. Kaze" . Battered was an understatemant thought Kagura he certainly had more than just broken bones. To start with she ordered a CT and MR following Dr.Allison's order.
The plates have arrived . Kagura lifted the plates towards the light squinting through them . Just as she had feared...haemorrhage. Kagura dialled the number connecting the ER and Dr. Allison chamber .
"Sir , we have a haemorrhage here and that's not it he has multiple fractures in the spine" .
"That's bad news Kagura do you think we can operate", the Doctor's voice sounded concerned .
Kagura voice was heard through the intercom, a little heavy this time "No Sir not now at least, that would be a great risk since he's already in semicoma and moreover sir..." .
Dr. Allison's voice sounded urgent "Yes" urging Kagura to go on . "Though we have to run a few more tests before we can confirm it , the damage is already done Sir..."Kagura trailed off unable to continue. Sure they were Doctors ,used to accidents but each time it hurt ,they were humans after all.
"So young..."Dr. Allison voice was filled with pity "Operation is quite useless then ,at least for now , have you fitted the brace ?"
"Yes Sir". "Good...Keep me informed , Kagura ". But before the line was cut off Kagura interrupted him hurriedly " And Sir about informing his family " ."I'll do that " came Dr. Allison's voice.
"Right Sir"Kagura sounded releived . He didn't blame her really this was often the hardest part of being a doctor even experienced doctors like him often shied away from the unpleasant task and she was only an intern . However Kagura was very quick to learn even for an intern , she would surely make a gooddoctor like her father...
Inutaisho Taiyoukai stared in dismay at his son's pale form through closed the glass doors of the ITU . Numerous tubes were connected to Sesshomaru's body while machines were beeping away. An old memory suddenly flashed through his mind . A woman , pale and delicate lying in the hospital bed surrounded by machines . Her face so beautiful and peaceful like in sleep . She had been sleeping indeed only never to wake up from it . She had never woken up and now her son...No his son would be fine Inutaisho told himself. Sesshomaru was a fighter after all and he was so young . He had his entire life before him.
A long sigh escaped him . Inutaisho had never approved of Sesshomaru's profession . But then again his son had never listened to him since...well ! not since he remarried and unfortunately Izayoi , his second wife and Sesshomaru had never got along . For Sesshomaru could never accept anyone in his mother's place. That's the problem with Sesshomaru , he was so stubborn having inherited that particular streak from his father.
Dr . Allison made his way towards the waiting room adjoining the ITU with uneasy steps . But being experienced as he was he knew this thing couldn't be put off , after all therelatives had the right to know the condition of the patients. He pushed open the glass doors which swung open wth ease revealing a large number of people . The atmosphere was charged with tension . It was almost stifling . A few people got up greeting him ,their faces anxious and etched with worry .
Catching sight of the name of the doctor on his badge , Inutaisho hurriedly made his way towards him , Izayoi following close behind . This was the doctor that was in charge of Sesshomaru wasn't he...some Dr . Allison.
"Dr. Allison " his voice sounded hoarse with worry .
The doctor turned towards the source of the voice . An elderly man, remarkably tall and with long white silver hair tied at nape of his neck appeared in his field of vision . He had a certain air of elegance around him . Allison nodded , keenly noting the man's immaculate features .
"Mr..." ."Inutaisho...Inutaisho Taiyoukai , I am Sesshomaru Taiyoukai's father . I believe you are treating my son ",Inutaisho finished , a little breathless."Yes you are quite right and I am here to update you on your son's condition" Dr. Allison replied .
"How is he then ?"
"I am sorry Mr .Taiyoukai for now we can't do anything, your son is in semicoma and "
Inutaisho interrupted him "Does that mean he will never...what does that mean? his breath hitched unable to continue .
The Doctor continued in a sympathetic way , it was the best approach in such situations, "No...No , he will regain consciousness , he will just take a little time to come out of the trauma , you can understand can't you ?
"Yes...and how long do you think he will take?"
"About 48 hrs at least and one other thing his right hand is fractured, off course their's nothing to worry about it but ...''
"What ?"Inutaisho distinctly felt the doctor was keeping something back.
Dr.Allison sighed internally ,the father was clearly not convinced ...
"His spine is injured you see and wecan't tell you the extent of the damage untill we run a few more tests when he wakes up "
A sharp intake of breath was his only response.
