CHAPTER 5
Sesshomaru could hear voices in the background . He opened his eyes slowly and tentatively . At first however he could see nothing , dazzled by the soft neon lights of the room but as his eyes got used to it he could make shapes and eventually the room came into focus . Where was he ? It didn't look like the race track , he was in a room but where ?
His throat was parched like he had walked miles in a desert , but still he managed to croak out "Where…. Am….. I?"
"Hospital" came the reply .
He turned his head towards the speaker . A young woman with startling crimson eyes stood there surveying him critically . A stethoscope hung around her neck confirming that she was indeed a doctor .
Sesshomaru tried to sit up but his head was throbbing madly and in spite of himself a yelp of pain escaped him .
Kagura and the nurse moved hurriedly to restrain him .
"Hey ! Stay put and relax , there's no need to hurry , the race , I am certain , is already over"
The nerve of that woman , like he needed to be reminded why he was here in the first place……that damn tyre . He remembered crashing into the arena but after that………Another throb of pain reminded him , he should be relaxing and not getting worked up over his crash . So he allowed himself to relax .
After making sure the patient was indeed relaxing Kagura turned to the nurse . "Page Dr.Allison and tell him to come over immediately and where are those pain killers ?".
Handing over the painkillers the nurse went out . Kagura debated what to do .
Should she inform the family ? then again may be Dr. Allison should do it and anyway it would be quite a while before they could see him . First she had to make sure he was stable and then wait for Dr . Allison . Making up her mind Kagura moved towards the bed ready to inject the painkillers .
Damn…….his head won't stop throbbing . His body , especially his back was killing him . His right hand , his right hand was plastered , broken probably . He had had many crashes before but this time he seemed to be in quiet a fix .
Sesshomaru was rudely awakened from his thoughts as he sensed a touch . That woman was leaning over him with something that looked suspiciously like an injection . He tried to move his hand away but succeeded only in jerking it . This required quite an effort considering he had just regained his consciousness .
Seeing the hand jerk away Kagura looked up only to be met by a fierce glare . For a moment she was taken aback as stared into the depths of those ember eyes but she regained her composure pretty fast making a relatively good comeback .
"What !"
"Don't touch me" came an icy reply .
This man amazed her . Even in the state he was in he managed to glare and snap at people ,quite a feat.
"I am just injecting the painkillers" Kagura answered .
"Why should I trust you ?"
"Trust me , you have no other option" replied Kagura with a smirk .
She was immediately awarded by a glare .
Kagura worked quickly injecting the painkillers into the channel intravenously .
She looked at Sesshomaru to see whether he had felt the pain but his face was a mask , totally devoid of emotion .
"Get this damn thing off my back" . Before Kagura could reply however…..
"Kagura" . Kagura turned relieved to see Dr . Allison enter the room looking very anxious .
"Is he stable ?" . "Yes Sir , He's also regained his consciousness"
"Oh Good! Then what have we here?"
"How are you feeling now ?"he said turning to Sesshomaru and giving him a warm smile .
Sesshomaru merely nodded .
"So now you would like to updated on your condition I am sure" He replied .
The doctor however continued unfazed by Sesshomaru's complete lack of response . " As you may have noticed you have fractured your right hand , also you have bruised your ribs . You can't feel the pain because of the painkillers but I assure you the injury is quite severe" the doctor added sensing what was on Sesshomaru's mind .
"And you wanted to remove the braces right , if I heard you correctly"
When Sesshomaru nodded he went on "I am afraid that won't be possible for now at least , because you see you have damaged your spine badly and that had effected your spinal cord".
"So when can I get out of here"
"Judging on your present condition I should think you did be staying here for quite sometime" Dr. Allison replied .
"You don't understand I have a race coming up , I need to get ready for that" irritation was evident in his voice . These doctors sometimes could be so dense.
"Oh! About that" answered the doctor .
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became very tense . Kagura shot her seniora nervous glance . What was he thinking ?
"As I said you have injured your spinal cord and so you won't be able to walk i.e. use your legs and so….and so……..for now at least you won't be able to race . We will see though about an operation" He added the last line more as a comfort .
Silence followed until broken by Kagura who could no longer take the tension and awkwardness in the air . "Sir , should I inform the family"
"No , Kagura I'll do that"
"And" he added turning towards Sesshomaru once again "I know you are strong enough to handle this and so I thought you had the right to know this" His voice had lost its professionalism and was now almost sympathetic .
Kagura turned towards Sesshomaru "Listen I .."
"Out ! Get Out ! just leave me alone !" Sesshomaru shouted .
She had known this but still she had wanted to help him may to share with him his………anyway it was a bad idea . She and her stupid instincts .
A/N: Okay !long chappie so no complains there . Umm...I do think this chapter was a little sad in the end but trust me everything's going to be all right . Our dear taiyokai just has to learn a few things. I enjoyed writing the chitchat(if you can call it that )between Kagura and Sessh . It's quite funny so u can't complain this chapter is all angsty . I tried my best to keep Sessh in character. I spent days thinking how he would react to a shocking news like he wouldn't be able to walk . Boy! was it hard . Do review! and I need a beta .
