Inu-Yasha walked into Kagome's room at the hospital to see her sleepy peacefully. Her baby was fine and still inside her. The other…well…she didn't want to think about it. He watched her sleep for awhile until she woke up. She smiled at Inu-Yasha, again, he could feel the tears coming.
"What's wrong?"
"Kagome, you're ill"
"What? No, Inu-Yasha, they fixed everything. It's fine now."
"No, the doctor came and talked to me."
"What did he say?"
"You have a tumor on your breast"
Kagome didn't how to react. She first was angry thinking it was her fault. Then she cried because she didn't want to leave Inu-Yasha or any of her friends. Then the doctor came in the room.
At the Shrine:
"I hope Kagome had her surgery well," said Sango.
"I'm sure she did, she's a tough girl. Nothing will take her out."
Sango looked at Miroku in shock, for once, there was no perverted comment hiding in what he was saying.
Shippo still didn't know what surgery, hospital, or doctor was. He decided not to try to figure it out and just smile and nod.
Back at the Hospital:
"Kagome, you can come back in a month for another operation. It won't grow or get any worse within a month but you will need to have something done before the baby is born."
Kagome looked at Inu-Yasha and they both agreed she would come back in a month and have the surgery. "Why can't I have it now?"
"The medication you were on to keep you under and the drugs we gave you to ease the pain are way too much to start anything else. If we started the operation, you would die from chemical poisoning."
"Alright, I'll make sure she's back next month for the operation," said Inu-Yasha.
Kagome smiled, for once, he was being calm and relaxed about a situation.
