Ending of last chapter-
Kagome fell into a dreamless sleep. Inuyasha watched over her for a couple of more hours before leaning back in his chair and falling asleep himself. Kagome awoke in the middle of the night. Inuyasha was peacefully asleep. Though he looked really uncomfortable, sleeping in his chair. She notice that his hand was still in hers, she gave it a little squeeze, Inuyasha opened his eyes, and saw Kagome's brown ones staring back at him. She patted the bed. At first he didn't move, but then he got up, and crawled in behind Kagome. Inuyasha carefully snaked his arm around Kagome's waist watching out for the lines of the machines she was hooked up to, and her bad side. Kagome moved a little closer to Inuyasha, nothing could ruin this moment.
Chapter5 Confessions
Kagome awoke the next morning and she felt a lot better then the night before. What ever they where giving her to heal her was working fast, but Kagome knew that should still wouldn't be able to return to the feudal era for a while yet. She snuggled closer to Inuyasha who was sleeping soundly beside her. His arm gently snaked around her waist, but it didn't even touch her bad side. Kagome could feel his chest rise and sink which each breath he took. She looked up at the clock, and it was only 7:00 in the morning. Inuyasha stirred a little in his sleep and his breathing became uneven which meant he was awake.
"Good morning Inuyasha. How are you feeling?"
Kagome found it a little bit painful to speak but it wasn't as bad as before. Inuyasha sat up, but was careful of Kagome's side. He looked into Kagome eyes, she could see his eyes where gentle and soft, they where full of love and compassion. Inuyasha couldn't figure out how a girl could almost die and still wonder how other people where doing. He was amazed.
"I should be asking, how are you feeling today?"
"I feel much better, but it still pain a little bit to speak."
"Well then don't talk."
"Inuyasha I can't stay here all day and not talk to you."
"Yes you can if it hurts, besides you shouldn't have to talk."
"Inuyasha! If I want to talk I will ok?"
"No I don't want you to hurt yourself."
Inuyasha turned away from her. Kagome was getting mad, and was about to sit Inuyasha, but then something clicked. 'He must think it's his fault I got hurt. He is being over protective because he feels bad.' Kagome knew it wasn't Inuyasha's fault that she got hurt, but did Inuyasha know this?
"Inuyasha it wasn't your fault that I got hurt!"
Inuyasha turned around and looked at Kagome.
"I should have protected you! I promised that I would and you almost died because I never."
"Inuyasha it wasn't your fault. Don't try and argue with me because it really wasn't your fault. We were in battle, and you get wounded battle too, so stop worrying. I am fine now and that's all we need to think about." Kagome stopped to catch her breath.
"I'm sorry Kagome because, I never protected and I am sorry ..."
"Breakfast!" A smiling nurse came through the door with two trays.
"Now when you are done that you have to go get some tests done and then you can have a bath. Ok!"
"Sure!"
Kagome and Inuyasha ate their breakfast in silence. 'What else would Inuyasha be sorry for?' Kagome wanted to know that so bad but she guessed it would have to wait. A nurse came and with the help of Inuyasha rolled Kagome out of the room in a wheel chair, for her tests. Inuyasha was going to go with her, but Kagome's mother had come so Inuyasha thought that maybe they would want to spend some time with each other. So instead he went to find Kagome's doctor. He needed to find out more about this hospital and demon world in this era. He also was wondering where he knew this guy from. He looked into a room it had lots of machines in it. He looked around the hospital and saw a lot of strange things, which he wished he knew the names of and how they worked.
Inuyasha walked up to an office that said Dr. Histomaby on it, he knocked on the door and waited for an answer. Luckily he was there and said come in. Inuyasha was surprised when he opened the door to the office. He though it would have all types of machines in it, and would be white like a lot of the rooms he saw. But this one was had stone flooring and the walls where a deep shade of blue, it had two big brown leather chairs in front of a desk full of papers, along the walls where some filing cabinets, and there where some pictures and plaques on the wall. The doctor looked at Inuyasha and motioned him to set down. Inyuyasha took a seat in on of the leather chairs. Inuyasha got a different feeling from this guy the any other demon or person in the hospital. It was as if he knows him from somewhere.
"I believe you have some questions for me." He said this without even looking up from his work.
"Well yes, I um well you see I need to explain something to Kagome and I was wondering if I should wait until she is better. Like if it was shocking would it do something to her." Inuyasha was preying the doctor understood what he was trying to say. The doctor looked at him, and then he spoke.
"I see, is this news important?"
"Well it will change both our futures."
"I see, why tonight?"
"Because I have to tell her tonight!"
"I see, what do you have to tell her?"
Inuyasha looked at this demon. He was very strange, but he guess he might as well tell him, just to make sure he could tell Kagome without doing anything to her powers, health or anything else at that matter. You never know what could happen. He couldn't bare see anything else happen to Kagome, she was everything to him. Inuyasha took a deep breath.
"I need to tell her that I have chosen her."
"I see, you love Kagome."
"Yes! With all my heart."
"I see!"
"Do you have to say "I see" every time you say something?"
"No I don't, but I can help you in your little situation."
"How?"
"Let me explain. I know you, you love Kagome, and want to tell her that. You see tonight is the Festival of the Demons, but you wouldn't know that. It was started by a very powerful demon lord about 200 hundred years ago. Anyway on this night all demons, and some humans dress up, and have a huge feast with dancing. (A/n I know this might not seem like much of a festival but I like it) Demons all around the world celebrate this. It is very important. The reason you want to express you feeling towards Kagome is that tonight is your new moon. You don't want your human emotions to interfere with this. Tonight you are suppose to change into a human, but you wont. In this era on this day of the year you wont change into a human on your night of the month. The demon that created this festival wanted all demons to enjoy it in their true form, and being in the hospital is no exception."
Inuyasha was a bit confused at first, but then he understood. Tonight would be the perfect night to tell Kagome that he loved her.
"Do you get what I am telling you?"
"Of course I do! I am not STUPID!"
"Your still the same, Inuyasha. Never could keep your anger under control."
"What do you mean? You barely know me."
"You haven't figured it out yet. I am very surprised, I thought maybe you would know how I know so much about you, can't you feel it, why I seem so familiar...little brother."
Inuyasha's eyes widened. He jumped up from his seat, forcing the chair to fly across the room. He looked at the man that sat before him. It didn't look or smell like his half brother Sesshoumaru, but Inuyasha felt earlier that he did have a familiar feeling to him. Inuyasha went into a fighting position, he wasn't sure what was going to happen next, but he would be ready.
"What did you say?"
"Come now Inuyasha there is no need to fight. Is there?"
"Feh!" Inuyasha sat in the chair next to him.
"See now thats better."
"Why are you here Sesshoumaru?"
"Well lets get one thing straight I can't tell you very much, it will effect the course of time."
"Feh Whatever! Wait but you told me about the festival of the Demons, wont that have any effect on the CORSE OF TIME."
"Well little brother, You were going to find out anyway, but you can't say anything about it once you get back to our era. Now you asked why I was here, that is simple Kagome is needed for a greater purpose and I couldn't let her die. Inuyasha she would have nearly died, and it would have taken longer for her to recover, only for this hospital was built. She easily went though surgey and is quickly recovering."
"Ok, but why did you save her? You never did like Kagome or me!"
"That maybe true about me back in the past but over the years, I have matured, just like you will someday. I had to save her, it now my job to save people and demons."
"How do you cover your true appearance?"
"See this ring, on my left hand, well its a wedding ring and it all so hides my true identity to everyone. If I take it off I look like my real self." Inuyasha tried not to look impressed but he couldn't help it.
"Who would want to marry you?"
"I can't tell you that but you will find out soon lets get on with the details of the festival"
Kagome went through some many tests, and now she was ready to sleep the rest of the day away, but she already had a hour rest. She wanted Inuyasha to be at the tests with her, but Kagome thought it was nice to have her mother with her. Some of the test Kagome had to take off her hospital gown so she was glad it was her mom who was with her. Plus she go to talk to her about everything, they haven't have a nice mother, daughter chat in a while. While in the tests Kagome heard the nurses talking about some big festival that was going ahead tonight. The people where putting up decorations everywhere, Kagome asked the nurse if she was aloud to go. The nurse looked and her with a serious face and then she burst out into a huge smile. " Of corse dear you can go. Everyone is welcome. But don't forget to get a ballroom dress." Kagome still didn't know where she would get her dress, but she couldn't wait until tonight. Her mother and a nurse where going to help he get in the shower later so she could wash her hair and stuff and also a nurse that use to be a hair dresser said she would do her hair later. Kagome looked over at her mother, she looked peaceful and clam like always. Kagome didn't realize how late it was getting it was almost 2:00 in the afternoon.
"Kagome dear would you like me to get you some lunch?"
"That would be nice."
Right before Kagome's mother could get out the door Inuyasha came in with 3 trays of food. He was wearing normal street clothes. Mrs. Higurashi. took one tray from him, he laid the other one on Kagome's hospital table and laid his on the table next to Kagome's bed. He then left the room again. Kagome looked at her mother and all she did was shrug her shoulders. Inuyasha returned again with a white box with a pink ribbon tied around it, a Tiffanys bag (ok I don't know if they have a Tiffanys in Japan but owell) and a black box. He handed the white box to Kagome, the Tiffanys bag to her mom and he kept the box. Inuyasha had a small smile on his face, him and his half brother have worked out a very fine deal. Kagome's mother opened her present first, inside was a long dark blue dress that reached the floor, with long sleeves and had a slit up to the knee. With that was a pair of matching shoes, purse and an shall. was shocked she didn't know what to say.
"Inuyasha!" She began
"I'll tell you everything later but first Kagome needs to open her present."
Inuyasha sat down on the bed with Kagome, and laid his box in a chair. With shaking hands Kagome untied the pink ribbon and opened the box. She pulled out a white dress, it also reached the floor but had a slit up to the thigh, and it was strapless. With that she got a purse, white shoes, a shall, and a beautiful set of pearl ear rings, necklace and bracelet. Kagome couldn't believe her eyes, she felt like she was in heaven. She looked at Inuyasha and tears filled her eyes.
"Don't cry Kagome!" Inuyasha said panicked.
"Inuyasha I am crying because I am happy."
"Oh!"
"Where did you get all this stuff?" Kagome questioned.
"Well you will never believe this. Dr. Histomaby is Sesshoumaru."
"What?" Kagome was shocked yet again.
"Yes just let me tell you what he told me. You know about the festival right?"
"Ya!"
"Tonight is the night and I am supposed to turn in to my human form. Well because of the festival I won't. The creator of this night, decided that all demons shall be equal in every way and every one should enjoy this."
"Really that is so wicked."
"Inuyasha, where did you get all this stuff?" spoke for the first time.
"Well Sesshoumaru and I worked out something. I will protect and take care of Kagome, and nothing will happen to her while in my care. Or Sesshoumaru will kick my ass, Feh, like he could if he tried. So in return he gave me some money and I went and bought you the dresses, and everything."
"Thats why your wearing street clothes. How did you know where to go?"
"Sesshoumaru got a taxi, I think that what he call it, anyway he told me where to go and I got help from women at these store things. But I pick out which ones I though would look nice."
"Well Inuyasha you have very good taste." Mrs. Higurashi commented.
"Ummm...Thank you."
"Inuyasha, what's in the other box?"
"Well, that's my suit."
Inuyasha opened up the box and pulled out a black tuxedo, black shoes and a top hat. Kagome thought it would look great on him.
"Wait when did Sesshoumaru start being like a brother to you?"
"He couldn't really tell me when but what he did tell me is, it will happen when I earn respect from my father."
"Thats sounds interesting!"
"Well it is but he would say much more then that."
"Ok after Kagome and I eat you have to leave Inuyasha so we can get ready."
"Ok...I got to get ready my self anyway."
