Ending of last chapter:
"Jordan and Marcus. Aalyah is going out with Jordan, and Marcus is going out with me." Andrea replied.
"That's wicked." Kagome said.
"So Kagome I saw that you and Inuyasha were holding hands." Aalyah said.
"Ya does that mean you two are together?" Andrea asked. They both knew the answer but they wanted to have some fun, and see what Kagome would say.
"Well, I, umm." Kagome didn't know how to answer this one. She wasn't sure what to say.
Chapter 14 Back to the Hospital
"Girls I think it is time for some breakfast, don't you?" Mrs. Higurashi said, while trying to change the subject .
"I guess so." Aalyah said looking confused, but soon realized Kagome needed some time with her mother.
"Then why don't you three go round us up some food, so I can have a minute alone with my daughter."
"Ok, Mrs. Higurashi we will be right back with some grub." Andrea said.
"Why are we eating bugs for breakfast?" Sango asked as she followed Aalyah and Andrea out the door. Kagome could here Aalyah trying to explain to Sango what grub is.
"Thanks mom." Kagome said.
"Kagome I'm guessing you haven't talked much to Inuyasha about you two letting your past friends know about your newly formed relationship?"
"No we haven't at all. I don't have a clue what to do about it. I don't know how Inuyasha feels about them knowing. What am I going to do?" Kagome was in total distress.
"Well Kagome dear, you have to options: 1) You can tell you friends the truth, or 2) You can just wait until you talk it over with Inuyasha." Mrs. Higurashi said.
"I think I need to talk to Inuyasha before I tell Miroku and Sango about us."
"I think that is very mature thinking Kagome. Now lets hope Inuyasha won't be out for breakfast for to long. A relationship is all about communication and I don't think I have to worry about that between you two." Mrs. Higurashi said.
"Mom you will not have to worry about anything." Kagome sighed.
'Now that we are together nothing can break us apart, nothing.' Kagome thought.
"We're back and we got grub." Sango said as she came through the door smiling. All sat down to eat and chat.
"So Kagome what about you an.."
"Aalyah you should try more of this oat meal, its delicious." Kagome's mother said.
"Ok." Aalyah said.
"Ya Kagome what about you an" Again Kagome's mother cut in.
"Sango why don't try these eggs." Mrs. Higurahi said.
"Why not." Sango replied.
"Kagome hows school going?" Andrea asked. She could see both Kagome and her mother wanted to avoid the subject of Kagome and Inuyashas relationship. So she decided to avoid it her self.
"I'm going to graduate high school, I have enough credits but I don't think I will be accepted into any collages or universities. I have missed to many days of school."
"Oh, that's to bad. Post secondary education is very important." Andrea said.
"I know it is." Kagome sighed.
"I think that's enough with the bad mood conversation. I think we need something new to talk about." Aalyah said.
"Ya I think your right." Sango said.
"So Inuyasha how long have you and Kagome been dating?" Jordan asked. Miroku nearly spit out the beer that was in his mouth.
" Uhh we have known each other 3 years" Inuyasha said, he thought that was the safest way around the question. Miroku looked at him in a strange way, but then went back to his steak.
"Oh." Jordan said and looked back down at his meal.
"Miroku, is there any special girl in your life?" Marcus asked.
"Well its kind of complicated." Miroku started.
"Wow, anything that started with those words has to be a long story." Jordan said.
Miroku was relived that they left that subject, and now talking about sports. Miroku had really no clue what they were talking about, so he sat and listened to the group. Inuyasha seemed to know a lot about cars, and wrestling. Miroku guess he musted have learned about them during one of his many trips to this era.
A little while later everyone was done eating, and they left. The group walked back the same route they came. As they came closer to the hospital Inuyasha grow happier, all he wanted to do was to see Kagome. He had to talk to her about something really important.
"Well it was nice meeting you Inuyasha and Miroku, but we have to get back to work now. Our shift starts in about an hour so we have to get to the Centre. Cya." Marcus said, as he waved down a cab.
"We will be around later day to get a statement from both you and Kagome." Jordan said as he hopped in the cab.
"Bye" Both yelled in unison as the cab drove away.
"Well Inuyasha I must be heading home." Sesshomaur said.
"Ya." Was all Inuyasha could respond. He still wasn't really use to Sesshomaru being nice.
Inuyasha and Miroku walked into the hospital, warm stung their faces as they enter it. They walked through the hospital in silence. Miroku casked the occasional glance but nothing more. As they got closer to Kagome's room they could hear girls laughter, and voices. Miroku was about to open the door and let himself in the room, but Inuyasha stopped him. Inuyasha knocked on the door some what afraid at what might be happening behind it.
"Come in." Sango said. Inuyasha and Miroku entered the room.
"Hello Inuyasha, and Miroku." Kagome said sweetly.
"Hey Kagome. What were all you laughing at?" Miroku asked.
"Miroku, you never ask that kind of question and expect a girl to answer. Besides if you must know it was only girl talk." Andrea said.
"Ok. Umm Sango would you like to take a walk with me around the hospital?" Miroku asked.
"Sure." Sango replied, as she got up and headed for the door.
"Now Miroku watch those hands of yours." Aalyah said before Miroku was out of ear shot.
"I guess we will be heading home, Kagome." Andrea said.
"Ya, some sleep would be nice before our dates tonight." Aalyah said.
"Bye girls." Kagome said as they walked out the door.
"Kagome dear. I need to go and check on Sota. You don't mind do you?" Kagome's mother asked.
"No mom, tell Sota to come see me later on, he can bring Grandpa to." Kagome said.
"Ok dear. I will see you in a while." She said.
"Bye mom." Kagome's mother got up and left the room leaving Inuyasha and Kagome alone. He walked over to Kagome's bed and then crawled into it with her. He was careful not to hurt her.
"So what did you have for breakfast?" Inuyasha asked.
"Scambled eggs, toasts, oat meal, and orange juice. It really wasn't that bad." Kagome said. " How about you?" She asked.
"I had steak and eggs, with a beer to drink." Inuyasha replied.
"You like beer?"
"Its like a drink that I used to steal from the village drunk. It wasn't to bad."
"Oh. How old were you when this happened?" Kagome asked, cocking her eyebrow at the same time.
"Ah well, it was back before I got sealed to the scared tree." Inuyasha replied, he was a bit nervous at what Kagome would say.
"Oh, well I guess that's ok." Kagome started to laughed. Inuyasha had no clue why she was laughing.
"Inuyasha the look on your face was priceless. It was like you were afraid that I would hurt you if you said the wrong thing." Kagome said.
"I wasn't sure how you would react so.."
"Inuyasha what has happened in the past should be left in the past." Kagome said.
"I agree." Inuyasha said. "So what did you and the girls talk about, while we were gone?" he asked.
"Well Aalyah asked me if we were together.."
"And?"
"I didn't know how to answer her, I didn't know if we should let Sango and Miroku know about our relationship. What if Naraku found out, he would seep to new lows to hurt us." Kagome sighed. " I wanted to tell them so bad, I hate keeping secrets from Sango, she's my best friend."
"I don't like keeping secrets from our friends either, but we don't want anything to happen to them. If Naraku found out that you and I were together, he could use you to get to me or me to get to you. I don't want that to happen."
"Inuyasha I don't want that to happen either, but lets just hope it will not come to that." Kagome said.
"So when we go back to my time, are we are back to the way things were?"
"Yup, that's right."
"No holding your hand, giving you hugs, or stealing kisses..." Inuyasha was stopped with a kiss from Kagome, she broke apart before Inuyasha could respond.
"Lets not think about that now, lets just think about today." Kagome said. Inuyasha softly kissed Kagome on the lips. They were enjoying the moment when knock came on the door.
"Kagome, can we come in?" It was Miroku.
"I thought they went for a walk." Kagome said.
"I guess Miroku must have pissed Sango off." Inuyasha said, as he jumped out of the bed and into the seat next to Kagome.
"Come in guys."
"Umm Kagome sorry to bother you." Sango said.
"No problem, its not like me and Inuyasha were doing anything important." Kagome smiled as she said this.
"Ok, well you see, Miroku and I have been talking.." Sango started.
"We think it would be best if we went back to our era." Miroku finished her sentence.
"No you guys can't go back so soon. I never got to show you two around Tokyo." Kagome whined.
"We don't mean right away, but after you get out of this place. We don't want to leave the village long without protection." Sango said.
"Sango you don't have to worry about the village, it'll be fine."
"Kagome after what happened to my village I don't want to take that chance." Sango said.
"I understand Sango, but you at least have to stay for a few more days. Ok?" Kagome asked.
"Sure Kagome. How could I leave my best friend when she really needs me." Sango said. "Is that ok with you Miroku?" She asked.
"I don't see why not." He replied.
"Well its settled then. Why don't we watch some T.V?" Kagome asked.
"I like the box with the moving paintings in it." Miroku said.
"Ya that's only because there are women moving in it." Inuyasha said.
"I resent that you would think of me that way." Miroku replied.
Kagome took the T.V remote off the bed and turned it on, she put on a movie that everyone would like. Rush hour 2, it had everything for the group, fighting and action for Inuyasha, girls for Miroku, and comedy for her and Sango. Kagome had never seen this one with all her travels with the group. (Ok I know that's its not the newest movie out but hey I love it too much.)
Kagome's room had four chairs in it, two could fold down into a bed and the other two were just normal chairs. Half through the movie, Kagome had to explain to Sango and Miroku how to put the chairs back into small beds. In less then five minutes both Miroku and Sango were sound asleep, Kagome was surprised that they were able to stay awake for this long, they had been up for hours. Inuyasha decided to pull over Kagome's privacy curtain, just in case Sango or Miroku woke up, it would give him time to get back in his chair. Then Inuyasha got back into the bed with Kagome, and they both fell asleep.
Kagome's mother returned into the hospital a few hours later with an excited Sota. Grandpa wanted to come but he wasn't feeling up to it, he had the flu and was sick in bed. Sota couldn't wait to see his sister and Inuyasha. When they got the phone call that Kagome had been found and was safe he wouldn't go to school, so Mrs. Higurashi let him stay home just for the day, she new she wouldn't forgive herself if she never let Sota come to the hospital with her.
He had been so worried about his older sister, the first day she went missing he cried the whole day. He tried to convince her that he was sick but Mrs. Higurashi knew that he was lying through his teeth. He really cared about his older sister, and he would hate to lose her. He went to school while Kagome was gone, but he only went to keep his mom from worrying about him.
Mrs. Higurashi had decided to wait until lunch time to go back to the hospital so she could give Kagome time to rest. As Sota walked through the hospital, he wondered why the man would want to take his sister and Inuyasha. He wanted to know the reason so bad, he had been pondering it since the day Kagome went missing. He was going to ask her today, and see what the big mystery was all about.
"Mom are we almost at her room?" Sota asked, he was a bit nervous he didn't know what he was going to say when he saw his sister. From what he had heard from his mom and Grandpa talking she was beaten up pretty bad.
"Yes Sota, only a little further. Mrs. Higurashi replied.
Inuyasha heard two voices, they belonged to Kagome's mother and her brother. He looked at the clock on the bed side table, it read 12:22 pm. They had been asleep for almost 3 hours, Inuyasha got out of Kagome's bed and opened the curtain to find Sango and Miroku still asleep. A knock came on the door and Inuyasha went to answer it.
"Hello Inuyasha." Sota said.
"Hey Sota."
"Good afternoon Inuyasha." Mrs, Higurashi said.
"Hello Margaret."
"Inuyasha, can I see my sister?" Sota asked, excitedly.
"Well she's asleep, so.."
"Hi Sota." Inuyasha was cut off by Kagome's voice. He turned around and saw everyone in the room was now wide awake.
Mrs. Higurashi walked into the room and gave her daughter a hug.
"Hi mom." Kagome said.
"How are you feeling?"
"I am not in as much pain as I was the first time after surgery." She answered.
"That's a good sign." Kagome's mom said.
"Hey sis." Sota ran into the room, he was about to jump up onto Kagome's bed when someone grabbed him by the waist.
"Whoo there little fellow, I think you're a little to big to be jumping on your sister, and besides, she just had surgery this morning." Sota turned around to see who had grabbed him and he was met by Miroku's face.
"Sorry. I shouldn't be so excited." He said quietly.
"That's alright Sota." Kagome said. She patted the bed and Sota climbed up and gave Kagome a hug.
"Kagome, who are these people?" He asked.
"Sota these are my friends from the past, Miroku and Sango. I've told you about them." Kagome said.
"Nice to meet you Miroku and Sango." Sota said "So is this the guy that you called a lecher?" Sota asked. Sango. Inuyasha nearly fell to the floor laugher, and Miroku stood there just pouting.
"Where did you hear that to?" Kagome asked.
" Umm I heard you and Inuyasha talking one night. I think you were mad at Miroku, he grabbed your butt or something." Sota replied.
"Oh, well, he's not like that anymore, Sango has knocked the lecher out of him. She has hit him so many times, I don't think he will ever touch another women again." Kagome told him.
"Ok. Kagome, I missed you so much. Kagome why did Ukaran kidnapped you?" Sota blurted out.
"Sota, I don't think this is the place or time to ask your sister that." Margaret said.
"No its alright mom he deserves to know." Kagome said as she turned to face her brother." Sota, Ukaran kidnapped me because he wanted me for my blood. I know it sounds strange but he needed it to finish off some bizarre experiment that he was working on. He also wanted me so he could hurt the ones I love, like you, mom, Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, and Grandpa. He let his greed take over him, he wanted to have everything, even the stuff he knew he could never have."
"I hate that man, Kagome I was going to come save you but I was afraid if I left mom he would go after her to and I would never be able to forgive myself for that." Sota said.
"I know you would have Sota, but I'm glad you stayed at home and protected mom." Kagome said.
The door opened to Kagome's room and Sesshomaru walked in.
"Sesshomaru what are you doing here?" Inuyasha asked.
"I had to come back to the hospital to get some files from my office, so I decided to check up on Kagome." He said. "I got the results from the tests we did on you after your surgery, and I;m afraid you'll have to go home tomorrow."
"What?" Kagome was confused.
"Well all your tests came back completely normal. So I don't see the point of keeping you here in the hospital when you don't have to be." Sesshomaru said.
"I don't understand, how is it possible that Kagome has healed so quickly?" Sango asked.
"That's what's so strange about this case. Kagome had many injuries outside her body but none of them affected her organs. So she is ok to go home as long as she takes care of herself." Sesshomaru replied.
"What about her three bruised ribs?" Margaret asked.
"She will be tender around that area for a couple of weeks, but like I said as long as she takes care of herself she will be fine. I have some prescriptions here for her to help her fight infection, and some if she is having any pain."
"That's great Kagome." Sango said.
"Thank you Sesshomaru. I thought that I would have to spend a few days here." Kagome said.
"I must be on my way back home, I will see you in a couple of days for a check up." With that Sesshomaru left.
Then another knock came on the door.
"Kagome you seem to be very popular at this hospital." Sota said.
"I know."
Sango got up and answered it. Two men in black suits were at the door, but right away Sango recognized them, it was Jordan and Marcus. They said hello, and she allowed them to pass her into the room. Sango giggled a little they looked pretty funny to her. They spoke to Margaret for a couple of minutes in hush tones, but Inuyasha could here the whole conversation.
They thought it would be best if the got Kagome's and Inuyasha's statements with out Sota being there. Also Miroku and Sango would need to make one each with two other agents form the Centre, which were outside the room. Kagome talked to Sota as her mother was talking to the agents, she didn't think her little brother needed to hear anything inappropriate at his age. Even though he was 14 years old, Kagome still thought of him as her little kid brother.
"Come on Sota lets go get you some lunch at the cafeteria." Margaret said.
"Alright mom. Bye Kagome, I'll be back in a little while."
Sota knew that the men in the suits were from the Centre, he was always hearing rumours about them in his school. So he knew if he was told to go when one of them were around, he should go. He waved goodbye to everyone as he walked out through the door.
"Sango, Miroku there are two agents waiting outside to talk to you both, they will take statements of what happened this morning." Jordan said.
"Now Kagome we need you to relax and tell us everything that happened." Marcus said.
Kagome told the story right from the beginning, she told them what had happen 10 years ago, and then she went on to what happened right from when the red powder puffed into her face until she got to the hospital. She gave them every little detail she could remember. Inuyasha helped her out a couple of times. During this time Kagome only shed a few tears, she wouldn't aloud herself to cry again because of Ukaran.
Inuyasha held her hand through the whole thing, this was one of the hardest things Kagome had to do in her life, and she was glad Inuyasha was by her side to help her. After Kagome was done, Inuyasha told Marcus and Jordan everything he new, he wanted this basterd to stay locked away for the rest of his life. After a few more questions Marcus and Jordan finally had everything they needed. They told Kagome she would not have to appear in any court and that she could go on with her life.
"Kagome, I hope we never have to meet again under these type of circumstances." Jordan said.
"However, we both hope to see you again." Marcus added.
"I hope you two have fun on your dates tonight." Kagome said before the left.
"Don't worry we will Kagome." Jordan shouted back to her with a huge grin on his face.
"Kagome are you ok?" Inuyasha asked.
"Ya I'm fine."
Sango and Miroku returned a little while later, as did Margaret and Sota. The rest of the day was spent talking and watching T.V. By night fall, it was time for everyone to go home, Miroku and Sango thought it would be better for them to and spend the night at Kagome's home instead of crowding the hospital room. Margaret would be back late tomorrow morning to pick up Kagome and Inuyasha. So everyone said there good byes and left.
A little while later a nurse came in the room with two trays. Kagome and Inuyasha ate there supper and waited for the nurse to come back to get their trays. Kagome had slept most of the after noon while everyone was watching T.V, and now she didn't feel at all tired. All she wanted to do was get up and go some where any where, but she knew that was impossible.
"Inuyasha do you want to go for a walk?"
"Do you feel up to it?"
"I think so."
"I guess so, but if you feel one bit dizzy or something tell me. Ok?"
"Yes mum." Kagome giggled.
Inuyasha helped Kagome out of her bed, at first she felt a little bit dizzy standing but it pass in a matter of seconds. He slipped a pair of slippers on her feet, Kagome's mother had brought them with her earlier that day. They walked out into the hall way and were met by a smiling nurse. She nodded towards them and went on her way. Kagome made it down the hall but she needed to stop.
"Are you ok?" He asked.
"Ya just a little bit dizzy. How about we go back to my room?" She asked.
"Its up to you."
Inuyasha and Kagome walked back to her room and got settled for the night. They both feel into a peaceful sleep. Kagome had one test in the early morning, and the results came back normal, so she was free to go. Kagome was released and she went home. When she got home she was met by smiling faces, and breakfast. The rest of the day was spent like the day before watching movies, and shows on the T.V. When it came time for the group to go to sleep a plan was made. Sango would sleep in a spare bed room upstairs across from Sotas room, Miroku would bunk on the couch and Inuyasha said he wanted to sleep outside, but Margaret wouldn't hear of it. She told him he could sleep anywhere in the house but not in a tree outside. It was way to cold. So Inuyasha said he would sleep on the floor next to Miroku. Later on that night when Inuyasha was sure Miroku was asleep he crept up to Kagome's room. When he opened the door his eyes met Kagome's.
"I was wondering when you would get here." Kagome said.
"Sorry I had to wait for the monk to go to sleep." He replied, and with that he got into the bed next to Kagome and the both feel asleep.
