Chp 23
Kagome just got out of intensive care, Sesshomaru held her hand as she was hooked up to an i.v. She appriciated Sesshomaru being there for her, but she would have died to have Inuyasha there. She was so scared, she wanted Inuyasha...
"Miss Kagome, I want you to tell us who is your Decider if anythign happens to you to where you can't speak for yourself."
"Inuyasha Tokaido..."
She felt Shesshomaru nod in approval, just as reassurance to make sure she wasn't delerious or anything. She felt the drugs begin to take effect, and she drifted into the deepest sleep she had ever felt. Sesshomaru watched her hand fall to the ground, and he let go of it.
"Mr. Tokaido, she'll be wheeled into surgery now."
"Yes, thank you, I will call my brother."
He took out his razor, and dialed Tiffany's mobile number.
Bring Bring...
"Hello,"It was Inuyasha.
"Its Sesshomaru. I was just calling to let you know that Kagome is being wheeled into surgery right now. The tumor has grown a substancial amount and they upped the surgery to today. You need to come down here, now."
"I'll be there A-Sap. Tell her I'll be there soon, and to be strong for me."
"Got it."
He heard a click, and the phone died. He grit his teeth, he couldn't believe Kagome went into relapse and he wasn't there! He hated himself right now. She slammed the phone down on the reciever,"Slayer and Kazanna..."
Slayer spoke,"Shoot."
"I've got to go, can you handle the crimes around the city for tonight?"
Kazanna spoke,"Its done, but you have to tell us Narkau's plans."
"I will, you have my word, but right now I have urgent matters to attend to."
They nodded, and he hopped into his car,"Tiffany, get me back to Shikon as fast as possible. Then to Shikon hospital, Kagome's sick."
"Of course sir..."
He felt the ground under him vibrate. The tires on the car's frame rotated, so the rims were facing the ground. They began to spin, a blue light glowing around the rims. They hoovered above the gorund for a moment, then sped off towards the city of Shikon. It was so fast, it made ripples in his skin like when you take off in a rocket ship.
They got back to the city in 30 minutes compared to the 3 hours in the car. When they got back, Inuyasha felt his skin snap back to its rightful place on his face. He ripped off his uniform and changed into a black t-shirt and jeans. He ran in through the doors, freaking out the attendance lady, shaking her for Kagome Higurashi.
"Its ok sir! Please calm down!"
But his eyes were mad with fury,"Please tell me!"
She typed on the computer in front of her, and looked down a few rows of files,"She's in surgery. But you are not allowed..."
But she couldn't finish her sentence, he was already down the hall. She burst through the doors, finding Sesshomaru waiting on a bench. He looked at him, trying to pry open all the information out that he could.
"What happened..."
"I see Tiffany's hoover mode worked to its advantages..."
"DAMMIT SESSHOMARU! Tell me whats going on!"
"We had a regular check up, and during the MRI they noticed the tumor had grow to the size of almost a gold ball. They think it just might be fluid build-up, but its putting pressure on her spine. So they decided it would be best to do the surgery as soon as possible. They happened to have an opening in the surgery room today, so they took the opportuity."
"What about the baby?"
"They said that it should be fine. Its in good health..."
"Ok..."
He slumped to the bench next to Sesshomaru, his face in his hands. He put his hands together, and silently prayed for her safety. His heart thumped hard against his chest, and his stomach did quadruple flips. He promised to protect her, and to always be there for her. He wanted to hold her, and take this cancer away from her, it wasn't fair that she had to suffer, not when she was the kindest, most caring person he had ever met.
He loved her so much, and if something ever happened to her, he didn't know what he'd do.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Kagome opened her eyes, the back of her head hurting like hell. She went to feel it, and felt a section of her hair gone, she freaked out. But then she rememered she just had surgery. She felt a little less on edge, and she looked around. Her heart completely felt safe when she saw Inuyasha lieing in a chair across from her. He was dead asleep, and she looked at the clock next to her bed, it was 3 am.
She watched Inuyasha, getting a feeling of amazing comfort from his sleeping face. She placed a hand on her stomach, feeling the slight lump in her belly. She giggled unintentionally, rousing Inuyasha. She gasped, and watched his eyes open, looking at her.
"Kagome!"
He rushed over to her bedside, and stroked her forehead,"I'm sorry I wasn't there, I'm so sorry..."
"Its ok, I understand. But why aren't you out," She whispered,"Silver Scar?"
"I've got people working on it right now."
"Ok..."
He pressed the button at the top of her bed, calling a nurse in. But for now he just held her hand, and stroked her face. She smiled,"I feel better, my head hurts alot less now."
"Thats good, maybe you've beaten that thing already."
"No, we've beaten it."
"Yes, we beat it."
She smiled, and watched the nurse come and shot something into her Iv. She passed out. He kissed her forehead, watching her fall into peaceful slumber. He smoothed over her bangs, looking at her tired face. He nuzzled his face against her cheek, breathing in her neck's warm scent.
"Mr.Tokaido, we need to see you about some of the test results from the tumor."
Inuyasha looked up, and followed the nurse out of the room. They walked down a light blue hallway, the tile floors with checkers of blue and gray. He looked through the windows of all the people in the hospital, seeing glimpses of faces, glimpses of stories just like his.
"Ok, here we are!"
The nurse was cheerful, with short cut black hair. Her scrubs were a light green, and she smiled easily,"The doctor is waiting for you inside."
"Thank you nurse..." He searched for her name.
"Oh Higurashi, I see you've met my daughter Kagome. We've much to talk about don't we."
"Wait...you're Kagome's mother..."
"Yes, I'll see you later when Kagome's woken up."
He gulped, and walked inside the office where the doctor was. The man was standing there, a clip board in his left hand. He looked up as Inuyasha walked in, the look on the doctor's face undecipherable. He sat down in a near by chair, and watched as the doctor flipped through a few charts, trying to stall for time...
"Excuse me doc?"
"Sorry, Mr.Tokaido, we were able to remove the tumor successfully. The only thing is now to wait and watch Kagome, to make sure it doesn't return."
"So you mean, its gone, she's cured!"
"No, we hope she's cured. But she might not be. All we did was remove the tumor, the actual cause of the tumor still might be in her body."
"But there's a chance..."
"Yes there's a chance..."
Hope...it was what he desperately needed right now. He felt as if they'd taken one huge step in winning this war. It filled him with joy, and he broke down. He knelt in that chair, and cried with all the passion he felt for her. He wasn't afraid to show that he was irrepressable with happiness, for that news gave him such joy and hope that he believed that this things wasn't gonna kill his beloved. Together they would defeat the greaest enemy of all, and they would be together, nothing could change that. And nothing was going to take that chance away from them, ever.

It was late morning, almost noon. Kagome was still knocked out on drugs, and Inuyasha still hadn't left her side. He watched Kagome's mother come in and out, watching over her daughter. He had exchanged plesant conversation with her, and
them seemed to get along.
"Inuyasha, Kagome's still dead asleep, and you haven't eaten since you got here. Why don't you go out and get somethign to eat from the gallery?"
"I need to stay with her, with all due respect ma'am. I can't leave her, I promised I would be there for her."
"But you need to eat!"
"I need your daughter too ma'am. I need her much more..."
She got all teary eyed, at what a blessed life her daughter had. She just got signed with a famous company, and became a millionare. She's got a man who loves her more than life itself, who got her impregnated. But Kagome had always wanted a child, and Mrs. Higurashi had a good feeling about this man. He seemed to think the world of her daughter. It made her head so warm, seeing how much affection he held for her.
"Inuyasha, I'll bring you up something to eat, alright."
"Thank you Nurse Higurashi."
"Of course," She smiled warmly. She walked out, leaving those two together.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome's sleeping face, watching how her expression changed in her dreams. He bent over, and softly kissed her lips, remembering Sleeping Beauty...
She is no comparison to you. You are so much more beautiful in your sleep. I wish, though, that you would wake up and be with me.
He watched her steady, soft breathing. How her rosy lips were slightly opened, how her cheeks were slightly flushed form the heat of her covers. He placed his hand on her abdomen, feeling the little bundle that was there. She was 3 months in now, and it made him more excited every day to watch her grow. Sometimes she had morning sickness, but for the most part she was normal, which was good. She constantly ate pickles though, which he thought was funny.
"God I love you,"he spoke outloud to her," I love you so much. You make everyday worth living."
She was still alseep, but he knew she heard him, for she began to smile in her sleep. Her lips puckered, waiting for an imaginary kiss. He smiled, and kissed them,"Mine..."
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Sango watched Miroku as he beat up a mugger. She knocked him upside the head with Hirakotsu, and told him to stop it. They took him to the police, and told them he tried to mug a man. They waved good bye, telling them they were taking place for Silver Scar.
"Mir..I mean Kazanna. How are we supposed to get around as fast as Silver Scar?"
"I don't know my dear Slayer. I guess we'll have to run."
"But we'll never get anywhere!"
Suddenly a familiar silver car pulled up, its doors opened for them,"Hello I am Tiffany, and Silver Scar sent me to help you out tonight!"
They smiled at each other, and hopped in.
"This is great,"Slayer said,"I've never seen such advanced equipment!"
"Yes, this is standard CIA though."
"Really? How come we never got one?"
"Because, dear Slayer, we don't like in Japan!"
"SO?"
"This was made cheap and fast, but quality. That is why he gets one and we don't..."
"..."
The car vroomed its engine, and they took off. Sango in the driver's seat, driving with her need for speed. She smiled, evily...
"Uh oh..."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
