" Kagome? Kagome?"
Ayumi cried out with my friends all around me with chairs surrounding me inside the small musty hospital. It was bad enough they saw me; the happy go lucky friend laying against a stretcher, with all tubes covering my arms, my face and my whole entire body. They all sat around crying, just seeing the bloody bruise around my temple, and telling by the bruises I tried to put up a fight with him, but miserably failed.
Yuki placed her hand softly through my mangle black long hair, while she bite down on her lip almost feeling sick and disgusted seeing my appearance and just knowing that Kouga, out of all people had done this to me.
" I can't believe he fucking did this to her! I can't believe he would fucking lay a hand on her! You fucking asshole!"
Ayumi screamed out, while they had already called my family in waiting on their arrival. They knew exactly this wasn't the summer I had planned; To meet what looked like a sweet and caring guy at a party and leaving because Inuyasha's face came to mind when I was with Kouga. Next thing to have him chase after me, drunk as anything beating me any way he could. It was almost like when Inuyasha left summer was really over, for everybody….
My family stepped quietly into the door, with my younger brother crying out loud grasping onto my mother when he saw the horrid appearance of blood and bruises that tattooed my face, and my body all over. He dug his head into my mother, trying to be strong and not look at it, since it was too much for anyone to handle. My mother had her jaw right open, her hands just shaking almost like she was in shock for the whole entire time. She just stood there, staring lifelessly placing her hand over Sota, with tears streaming down her cheek.
She quietly stepped forward, and didn't say a word to my friends that were gathered around. She just stood on her knees onto the cold title floor, no matter how much it hurt that didn't matter. Her hands stroked through my hair, cupping my face trying to soak in this is all real. Sota just stood on the other side with his head in his lap, grabbing onto my fingers that felt cold as ice.
" We should go."
They all commented knowing this was my family's time, while they quietly walked off into the empty hallway. My mother couldn't wipe her tears fast enough; to see her own daughter looking the way she did, made her want to scream as loud as she could out of pain and anger but, she couldn't even make a sound she was too in shock to do or say anything.
" Kagome…I'm so sorry. I'm sorry."
She whispered into my ear, as though I could hear every single thing she was saying. She just held onto my hand lightly, hoping my fingertips would grasp hers to let her know I was there, but my fingers stayed exactly in the same position as they were left. She just held my head close to hers, while Sota could only cry harder grasping onto my other free hand, regretting for teasing me, afraid this would be the last time they'd see me.
" Mom…is she going to be ok? Mom?"
Sota kept repeating, but he could tell she was too concerned to even say anything. She didn't know by the bruises if I'd be alright, it was so hard to tell. Kouga was already gone and placed away, and Gavin quit his house parties because of the incident. After five minutes she finally answered.
" I don't know sweetheart I don't know. I hope your sister will be fine, I pray to god I hope so. I know your father would never want to see her like this. None of us do…"
She spoke with barely any emotion just grabbing my brother's hand tightly with his head titled on her shoulder for some type of support. They didn't know if I'd wake up fine, or how long I'd lay there emotionless and quiet. They knew this wasn't me, and knew I didn't deserve to get mixed up into to this, but it seemed I always did one way or another.. It scared my mother to know this happened because I went to a party, and because this guy drank he wasn't the same either. My cell phone laid right beside me, still with Inuyasha as the last caller, knowing he was trying to leave a message that sounded important beyond all things. The minute I went to answer the phone, I just felt hands around the back of my hand and saw the cell phone smash to the ground, that was now situated beside me.
My mother just kissed my cheek a dozen times, hoping I'd do something like open my eyes, or grasp her hands to say I'm here in some way but nothing was happening. Her heart was breaking, knowing her fear was losing another loved one in her family, just like my father. She just kissed me real quick, seeing the doctor walk in with the clipboard knowing they had to look after me, and she couldn't see me until the very end.
" Ms. I'm sorry to bother you two but we need to do treatments on Kagome. You'll likely find out the results early tomorrow or later on. We promise we'll inform you if we get anything new on your daughter."
My mother just nodded and looked at the doctor with plead, while she refused to let go of my hand
" Can't I just say goodbye to my daughter quickly! Is that too much to ask!"
The doctor nodded quickly stepping out saying he'd back in ten minutes. She just heard the door slam, as the whole entire world seemed so quiet, so still to everyone else. My friends idly stood by in the hallway, peering in through the window to see me from adistance dead like, and had never seen a family, or even my family cry so hard. They eyed my mother holding me tightly, while they stood blankly with tears hazing in their eyes. I understood they felt all responsible; knowing this was they're idea to take me to a party, to introduce me to the crazy lifestyle and also the younger brother Kouga who they pleaded was sweet as anything and harmless at that. They never thought Kouga could commit such a thing, then again have trouble drinking. It was beyond them.
My mother, she just smiled alittle, knowing how much she loved me and knowing how hard she tried to protect me and try to raise a family without a father.
" Kagome I love you very much sweetheart… I'm so sorry this happened to you. I'm so sorry I couldn't be there to protect you! It's all my fault that your like this. Please wake up, please do something! Never forget I love you very much… we all do."
She didn't bother to whisper anymore. She was in too much pain to dare to be quiet, and respect the other patients in the room. She grasped my hand tightly and kissed my cheek for as long as she could, before the doctor came in. Sota just nodded sadly, seeing the doctor appear while he patted them on the back..
" I promise we'll do whatever we can for your daughter."
My mother just ignored the doctor completely, grabbing Sota by the hand crying and mourning while they just watched for a second through the door the doctor taking all these tools that looked like he was the one that tortured me.
" Mom it's ok. It will be ok. I promise mom."
Sota kindly said trying to be strong, but that failed. My mother just laughed sweetly at the kind gesture and hugged him real tight, as long as she could.
" I know it will be, I'm just scared that's all. I've already lost someone I love, and I can't afford to lose any of you. Without Kagome or you I'd be nothing. I just pray to god she'll be ok. That's all we can do…"
