Tell Me Where It Hurts Chapter 5I can do this! I'll find him even if it takes me the whole day…and night! She said to herself with full energy.
She feels it. She will be able to find Inuyasha. No matter what it costs her.
………
"Ha!" Kagome shouted triumphantly after she said a polite 'thank you' to the nurse she just talked to.
"What is it Kagome dear?" Akira asked curiously.
Kagome stood up and held her mother's hands. She took a deep breath and then danced with Mrs. Higurashi. They went around and around the living room until Kagome decided to stop.
"What is it you're so happy about? Tell me Kagome…Did you find him?" her mother asked slowly.
"Yes, mother! Yes! I finally found him!" Kagome exclaimed, then hugged her mum tightly.
"That is so great! There is hope at last! So when are you going to talk to him?" Akira asked as excited as her daughter.
"I thought I will go there first thing in the morning!" she replied. "I wish I could go now, only…the visiting hours is already finished." She added sadly, looking at the reddish-orange horizon outside.
"So what is his condition? Did you ask the nurse whom you talked to?" Mrs. Higurashi queried of her again.
"Uhh…I guess I wasn't able to. I got so excited that I said thank you and goodbye at once." She answered, finally realizing what she hadn't done.
"Don't worry. Anyway, you'll be able to know it by tomorrow!" Akira encouraged her daughter cheerfully.
"Let's go there together mum!" the younger Higurashi invited.
"No, I think I won't come." Was her mother's reply.
"Why not?" she asked, frowning.
"You need to have a private time with him. And I don't want to interfere." Akira stated, now turning her back to head for the kitchen.
Kagome took two deep breaths of happiness. She can't believe it! If she just started looking for him before maybe she found him early…But, no! She first chose to be broke and hide herself in her room when she could have done something for the two of them.
Makes no sense clinging on to the past… she said to herself.
………
"Mum, I'm leaving!" Kagome announced taking a last sip from her coffee.
"Sure, dear. Be safe!" Akira said over her dishes.
"Wish me luck everyone!" she said cheerfully, getting her hand bag and her coat.
"Good Luck!" Akira, Souta, and her grandpa chanted.
And with a final smile, she left, closing the door with a click.
"She shouldn't endure any more suffering. She's to delicate to handle it." Croaked grandpa Higurashi.
"No, I believe she's a strong woman father. She will pass her problems triumphantly. I know she will." Mrs. Higurashi said with confidence.
She will find Inuyasha and they will be okay. She added to herself.
………
After half an hour of travel, Kagome reached Sutoushima General Hospital. She looked up at the white building and went inside.
She went to the nurse-clerk to ask what room Inuyasha was in.
"Umm…excuse me. I called here yesterday to ask if a man named Inuyasha is staying here…and uhh…you confirmed it. So…what room is he in?"
The nurse checked her computer for the patient's room. And after a few minutes of browsing Inuyasha's name, she looked up at Kagome and said, "Room 406 ma'am. In the fourth floor. Also called the Rutherford Room. If you need more information just ask the clerk in that floor."
"Thanks very much!" she said with an excited smile.
"You're welcome!" the nurse said before returning to her work.
………
"Fourth floor." The computer in the elevator announced. Kagome took that as a cue and went out. She looked around for signs of the clerk and headed for her table.
"Excuse me, miss. Where is Room 406?" Kagome inquired. She couldn't help but smile.
"Oh! The Rutherford Room?" the nurse asked for confirmation. Kagome just nodded.
"In this direction, ma'am. The room at the very end." She informed.
Kagome was about to head to the direction the clerk told her when the clerk spoke again.
"Don't bother visiting the patient there. You can't speak with him right now anyway…" she said then went back to browsing her computer for her work.
Kagome frowned at this. I can't speak with him right now?
She looked at the board at her side that showed the time for visiting hours. She's not out of that time, actually. Then… what is wrong?
She dismissed the clerk's weird statement and headed straight to the direction she pointed earlier to her.
She took a deep breath and extended her right hand to open the door. Kagome quietly peeped in then opened the door fully.
"Who are you?" a girl with long brown hair asked.
"I…I'm Kagome Higurashi…And who are you?" she asked, totally curious on why this girl is in her fiancé's room.
"I'm Ayame…the one who saved this guy…Inuyasha as I saw in his I.D… from blood loss."
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Not so good for an ending, right? Anyway…
I finally got Ayame there. Honestly, I don't know a single fact about her. I just hear her in some fics and see her in Inuyasha websites. It's because I wasn't able to finish the other episodes of Inuyasha yet! I was about to put another OC but decided against it. I thought there was still Ayame…and soon you will also see Kouga in this fic…although…uhhh…I should say, he is more needed here than in "It's Hard to Tell". It will make it easier for me to end this fic happily. Haha :D
…Now I'm going to check out some things about this Ayame person…
So please review…please…please. I really need it so that I will be encouraged to continue this fic…I need more hope you know…
Thanks!
