Chapter ten
Backwards she fell, hardly hearing the curse, which came from Inuyasha's
mouth, only the silence of her plunge. She awaited the coming impact and
was surprised to find it not as hard as expected. On the contrary she felt
a warm body buckle beneath her. With precision she raised her aching body
off her hero.

Afraid of his reaction, Kagome avoided facing Inuyasha and instead knelt
next to him, remaining abnormally still. She listened to his intense
breathing before pulling herself together and turning to see how injured he
was.

"Oh dear god." She said quietly before clasping her hand over her mouth to
cover the traces of amusement. Never before had she seen anything so...she
couldn't even think of the word.

There was the man, who earlier had seemed so impressively charming, now in
footsy pajamas. Not just any footsy pajamas, but in Mickey Mouse pajamas.
They faintly reminded her of the nightwear she had owned when she was five.
The only difference was hers hadn't been footsy.

Inuyasha's head hurt like no other. It was pounding like a maniac and he
felt like it was about to explode. Why did it hurt so badly? He must have
hit it when she came down. Kagome. Shit, his head hurt!

He mumbled mixed words before finally making sense. "Are you okay?" He
asked harshly, eyes still closed, struggling to get up onto his forearms.

"I'm fine, but I don't think you are." She admitted while suppressing the
never-ending giggles.

"Why the hell am I... I am good. Fine. Never been better." Inuyasha was
simply babbling on, allowing himself to open his eyes, regretting it
immediately. He was dizzy. He crossed his eyes and stared as his nose.

"Stop it! I can't take it anymore." Ultimately losing any restrain, Kagome
burst into a fit of laughter, not holding anything back. Tears formed at
the corner of her eyes and she took that as her queue breathe. "Sorry."

"It hurts." He replied, not understanding her outburst or her apology, he
didn't think it was funny at all. In attempt to sit up he extended his hand
to her, asking wordlessly for assistance.

She caught the plea and amiably helped him up. He had a concussion, she
noticed as he collapsed back against her. His head rolled on her shoulder
burying into the curve of her neck. His left hand absently lolled off onto
her lap while the other lay lax in hers. His blood was draining onto her,
falling down her the opening of her nightgown, temperate and thick. "What
to do...what to do?" She asked out loud to herself as she glanced at his
face. "Wake up!"

"You wake up." He chirped in an unusually high voice.

"You can't go to sleep. I think it's dangerous or something." Kagome
remembered watching many shows that involved patients with head wounds,
they were not supposed to go to sleep.

"Whatever." Not even caring, Inuyasha fell back into a sleep. She was
comfortable, warm, and he was to damn tired to care.

"No!" Frustrated, she stood up, letting him slip to rest on the cold tile.
She eventually figured out her next move and left the kitchen. With a
purpose she made her way to Paul's and her mother's room. Opening the door
quietly she practically crawled over to their bed, frightened that Paul
might sleep with a gun under his pillow, like in the movies. "Uh...Paul?"

With an unspeakable speed he bolted up and clapped twice. The lights came on and
Kagome laid eyes on the first gun she had ever seen, but Paul didn't have
it. Her mother was sitting there, up and alert with a .30 caliber aimed
directly at her daughter's head. Not even bothering to explain, her mom
handed the gun to her husband and went back to sleep.

"Do you know what time it is?" Paul demanded. "What the hell happened?" Due
the late adjustment, his eyes hadn't fully recovered from the sudden light,
but when they did the first thing he observed the blood on Kagome.

"Inuyasha fell. Well, I mean I fell, and then he tried to catch me...oh
whatever! He's hurt. Pretty bad I think. What should I do, wake up his
dad?"

"That won't be necessary. Can you drive?"

"Not legally."

"Fine just go."

"Go where?!"

"The Emergency Room. Where else."

"Where is it?"

"Don't you know how to use Map-quest? If you are still there by breakfast
then call. Goodnight Kagome." He clapped again and left her in the
darkness.

An hour later the teenage girl had successfully achieved a directions, two
outfits for both her and her invalid, and packed a little snack. Snatching
up the keys from the dinner table she woke Inuyasha and helped him out to
the Lincoln.

"Thank god it's an automatic." Putting the car into reverse, Kagome backed
out of the hundred-yard drive way as slowly as she could. Acknowledging the
fact that she was breaking the law for the first time, she turned on the
inside car-light and viewed the printed map.

Another forty minutes passed when an elderly nurse called in Inuyasha to be
examined. Signaling for Kagome to follow the women directed her into a pale
white room with a light blue bed-table and an extra chair for visitors.

The
nurse asked nicely if Kagome could help Inuyasha get out of his pajamas and
into a hospital gown.

"I don't know if I should. I just met him last night."

"That's still longer than I have know him. Besides its not like you'll see
anything new. I would really appreciate it. You saw how many others are out
there. Think of them. If I don't help them soon they might get really hurt.
Oh and honey don't forget to make sure the opening of the gown his in the back and not the front. Thank you dear." Hoping to have won the women left without delay.

"Yeah I won't see anything new. Only a naked boy! I've never seen one of
those before!" Crimson took over her regular coloration. She burned to
disappear when she saw Inuyasha come to life. He was groggy at least.
Putting away her discomforts, Kagome leaned forward and started unzipping
his pajamas. He tensed beneath her fingers, but didn't say anything. "I'm
sorry Inuyasha I have to do this." Going as far as the zipper would go she
carefully helped him pull one, then both his arms out of the long sleeves.

"Boxers." Inuyasha said dully.

"Huh?" She intelligently inquired while taking the hair band that hand been
on her wrist and putting Inuyasha's bloody hair up in it.

"I'm...I've boxers on."

"Oh...good." He held onto her shoulders as he lifted his feet out of the
pajamas. He stood there in front of Kagome, clad in black boxers, when he
felt nausea overtake him.

Pushing her away from him slightly too hard he
crouched down. He hated doing it in front of Kagome, but he couldn't hold
it in, he got sick. "It's okay." He heard her soft voice say. The next thing he knew she was consoling
him from behind. Keeping her hand on his upper back she tried soothing him.

"Well I see that he is awake now." Walking in the door a short, but young
doctor entered. He had his scrubs still on and was holding a file of some
sort. "Inuyasha I presume?"
