What the Future Brings
Kagome awoke feeling slightly refreshed, though she had no idea how long she had been asleep as the clock outside her ward had stopped. She looked over to see Inuyasha was not there, fair, she reasoned, she probably had slept for a while. Kagome slowly leaned forward and took a deep breath, she had to see if Sango was ok, Sango had been shot because of her and she would rather have died herself than to have put her friend's life on the line. Kagome realised that she was still wearing her own clothes and so slowly stood up, her body felt perfectly fine, but her neck ached slightly. She looked at herself in the small mirror provided and just managed to suppress a scream, she looked rough and sweaty, she decided that she would stop at the toilets on the way. She clapped her hands in a pleased gesture when she saw Inuyasha had left her a bag withgod knows what in.Kagome hesitated upon entering the ladies as it wasn't the perfect place to cleanse, in the corner a women was throwing up in a basin and another woman was making rasping cough sounds. Kagome brushed it off and went over to one of the basins, she splashed some water over her face and neck, then squirted someof the cleansing facial wash Inuyasha had put in the bag on her face and rubbed it in, washing it off, she then dried her face with a towel, also from the bag, and brushed her hair until it looked silky. Kagome made a small gasp when she saw what was at the bottom of the bag, a short silk dress, pearly pink with a dark pink rim. She went and put it on inone of the cubicles. She came out and gave it a small twirl, it was beautiful and smelt like lavender. Kagome finally dragged herself out of the toilets and was about to ask the nurse stood in front wether she knew wehere Sango was when she spotted Inuyasha in front heading back to her ward with two cups of coffe.
" Inuyasha!" Kagome called to him, he turned round amber eyes blinking. She ran over to him, he smiled,
" I see you like the dress i bought you!", Kagome blushed,
" It's beautiful, thankyou so much!" She praised gratefully, until she noticed he was blushing aswell, she hugged him gently around the waist, he was to good to be true. Then she remembered Sango and released her grip, her face slightly urgent,
" Is Sango alright!" she asked him anxiously,
" I'll take you to see her!" Inuyasha said, grabbing Kagome's hand he led her down a long hallway, into the casualty ward, finally they came into a isolated cubicle and Kagome reckognised Sango lying motionless in the bed, tubes connected to her body from the sides.
" She's in a stable condition," Inuyasha said grimly, Kagome felt herself sink shakily into the chair Miroku offered her as he walked over from Sango's bedside.
" Though they aren't holding out hope that she'll wake up from her comba,the bullet hit her slightly beneath the lungs, fracturing 2 of her ribs and causing alot of pain and bleeding. She has lost a substantial amount of blood, the doctors are hoping to give her a blood transplant to see if that helps!" Miroku informed Kagome gently. Kagome held back the tears she felt approaching, she pulled herself out of the chair and walked over to Sango, clutching her hand she kneeled beside the bed.
" Could you guys give me a minute alone with her, please?"She asked, pain stated clearly in her voice, Inuyasha hesitated, looking at Kagome's shaking form, before following his friend to the cafeteria.
Kagome watched them leave before turning back to Sango,
" I'm so sorry Sango, i shouldn't have let this happen to you, i shouldn't have brought you into my own problems, it was my fault you were shot, my fault you were in pain, my fault that you're in a comba, and my fault if you die. I need you Sango, you and i, we're one of a kind, you've been my best friend since before i can remember, don't give up on me!" Kagome felt tears run down her cheeks as she finished, she squeezed her friends cold hand,
" Please wake up!" Kagome begged, she stared at her friend for a few moments and then turned away, sitting back down she rubbed away the tears, but new ones just renewed the wet streaks down her cheeks.(( scuse the rhyming))
" Do you think Kagome will be alright on her own!" Inuyasha asked, concern written all over his face,
" I'm sure she'll be fine, she just needs time to come to terms with it," Miroku said soothingly to his tense friend,
" And what if she can't come to terms with it?" Inuyasha retorted angrily,
" Trust me she will, it's just the shock." Miroku said calmly, Inuyasha glared at him,
" How can you be so calm, your girlfriends in a comba!' Inuyasha growled, Miroku made a hurt face,
" Someone needs to be calm, with you as tense as a lion about to go for the kill and Kagome confused and upset!" Miroku said folding his arms. Inuyasha sighed,
" Sorry, i didn't mean to be so cold, i'm just worried about both of them, that's all!" He said, Miroku shook his head,
" So am i, if Sango doesn't wake upi don't know what i'll do!" He admitted.
Oooooooooh, i wonder if Sango will come out of her comba, and how the boys and Kagome will cope if she doesn't.
