Chapter 14-The desire for what may be...
In room 312...(aka Kagome's room)
(Beep...Beep...Beep...)
Inuyasha check Kagome's heart monitor. "Well she seems to be doing okay...thank heaven..."
"Inuyasha...?"
Inuyasha looked up to find Miroku and Sango standing in the doorway wearing doctor uniforms. "You too huh?"
Sango chuckled, "Yeah, how's she doing?" Sango went over to Kagome's other side.
Inuyasha looked down uncertain, "She seems to be doing okay, we almost lost her in surgery, but now... I don't know for sure."
Miroku walked over next to Sango and held her hand, "Well, I think she'll be alright, as long as nothing unexpected happens..." Miroku looked up at Inuyasha, "What happened to Sesshoumaru?"
Inuyasha sighed, "I don't know..."
Sango looked at her watch, "Ahh! It's getting late! Miroku..." Sango tugged at Miroku's sleeve.
Miroku nodded, "Inuyasha, can you look after Kagome?"
"What do you think?" Inuyasha spat out sarcastically.
"Ok, make sure my best friend's alright, you got that Inuyasha?" Sango winked.
"Sure..." Inuyasha murmured softly and gave Sango a grin.
Five hours later...
"Where...am...I? " Kagome's thoughts were cluttered as her eyes fluttered open, to find Inuyasha fast asleep holding her hand.
'Hmm...' Kagome thought softly, 'I guess he really does care...'She thought with a small sigh and fell back into a quiet slumber.
One week later...
"Hey Miroku, pass me the steak knife will you?" Sango sighed as she prepared the meat.
"Here..." Miroku handed her the knife, "I wonder when Kagome's coming home..."
"Yeah, me too, the doctor said it might be a few days, but a week has passed already, even Inuyasha never came home, I'm a little worried."Sango continued to cut the meat,"Hmm, maybe-"
Sango got cut off by the doorbell.
"Oh my god! It's them!" Sango dropped everything and headed for the door.
"Sango! Wait! OW!" Miroku winced and looked down at the steak knife that was sticking out of his shoe.
Sango opened the door and screamed, "KAGOME! Oh my god! You're alright!" Sango gave Kagome a huge hug."
"Geez, go easy on the hugs, she did just come home you know..." Inuyasha grinned.
Kagome glared at Inuyasha, "Hey, she has the right to hug me, after all she didn't she me for a week while I was in the hospital...Hey, where's Miroku?"
"Here..."
Sango, Inuyasha, and Kagome watched as Miroku limped out of the kitchen with agony.
Sango looked down at his foot, "Oh my god... I didn't..."
"Yeah, I think you did." Miroku winced as he pulled the knife out of his foot, "Hello Kagome,Inuyasha, hang on while I take care of this wound..."
"Excuse me for a minute guys." Sango went over to help Miroku into the bathroom to clean his wound.
Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other and laughed.
"They never change..." Inuyasha let out a sigh.
Kagome laughed, "I guess not.."
The laughter was soon silenced.
Kagome looked at Inuyasha, "I wonder what happened to Sesshoumaru..."
Inuyasha looked at Kagome painfully, "Sit down Kagome, this might be hard to explain..."
Kagome and Inuyasha sat down on the couch, Kagome watched Inuyasha intently.
"Sesshoumaru...died at the scene of the accident, he was crushed by the rig..."
Kagome could feel tears welling up in her eyes as flashbacks of the accident came back slowly, she gulped, "And...what happened to me?"
"You..." Inuyasha sighed, "Flew through the windshield..."
Inuyasha looked at Kagome to see that she was crying, he took her in his arms and tried to soothe her...
"It's going to be okay now, you're safe and that's what matters, at least we didn't lose you."
"Yeah, but, Sesshoumaru died, and I survived, why? It shouldn't have happened this way, he shouldn't have died, I'm the one that should have died, it shouldn't have happened to him...why him and not me? He didn't deserve to die!" Kagome sobbed even harder.
Inuyasha felt his heart breaking.
'Kagome...' Inuyasha's thoughts were choking him. "Did you love him?"
Kagome was startled, "Huh?" She looked up at him with red, watery eyes.
"Did you love him?" It pained Inuyasha's heart to ask, he didn't really want to know.
Kagome looked down,"Well of course I loved him..."
"I see..." Inuyasha choked on his next words,"Well then don't worry about me."
"What are you talking about, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked confused.
"What I mean is, you loved him, you don't need to trouble yourself with me." Inuyasha got up.
Kagome lurched forward and grabbed his arm, "Inuyasha! You've got it all wrong! I-"
"Dinner!" Sango called from the kitchen cutting Kagome off.
