Answer My Prayers

Or so he thought...

Inuyasha sat outside intensive care, his eyes half closed and his head hung low in defeat, the police. He hated them, they had claimed on the news after capturing Naraku the second time it was a minor mistake and he was now in the prison for a life long sentence, A minor mistake, one that had perhaps cost his beloved her life was a minor mistake! He growled at the thought of it, he sighed and looked to Miroku and Sango beside him, Sango had spent the last four hours weeping, but half an hour ago she finally managed to contain it. She was hugging her knees on the chair beside him, in a dark pink hoody and jeans. Miroku had one arm round her shoulders,he was looking the other way, as if he couldn't bare to see her face. It seemed like an eternity before a nurse with a grim face appeared, one that said 'why do I have to do this?' she stood before the anxious trio, then she smiled. Inuyasha's mouth dropped open, she looked like she'd just died a minute ago, now she was smiling? What the hell was going on.

" Sir, Kagome is showing signs of stabilizing, but she is in a serious condition and her body could fail her at any moment, it is crucial she has a blood transfusion in the next 12 hours or she most probably won't be able to cope." She said, and Inuyasha knew the smile was fake, from the seriousnes in her voice, he knodded grimly and Sango jumped up,

" Are we able to see her?" Sango asked in a shaky voice that didn't fit her. The nurse sighed,

" Well you shouldn't be going near her right now, she's isolated because of how weak her body is, but considering she might not make it through the next night you deserve a chance to see her. I'll take you to her!" The nurse said and walked off, with the group hot on her heels, glaring daggers at her back, how could she be so forthright(?)

The nurse silently opened a door to a dreary gray room, where Kagome lay limp in the bed, tubes hanging from almost every part of her body, Inuyasha gulped,

" Is that all really necissary?" He asked, pointing at all the things attached to her, mainly her stomach. The nurse nodded regretfully and left. Inuyasha walked over, he would have held Kagome's hand, but there was pipes attached to her hands too, a oxygen mask was over her mouth and nose. Inuyasha pulled one of the chairs to her bedside and sat down, he was tired of being in a hospital, watching the life of someone close to him hang in the balance. He clenched his fist,

" I'm so sorry, Kagome. I let you down, i left you to Naraku and it might cost you your life, i always do this. I never seem to be able to save the lives of those i love most... please Kagome, just hang in there, i love you! I always will, i'm here with you!" He said, he stroked her cheek gently before turning away and allowing Sango to speak to her friend. Inuyasha sat back down in the chair, watching Kagome all the while, slowly his eyes drifted closed and he fell into a haunted sleep.

" My baloon!" The small boy cried, running into the road after his red baloon,

" No, Inuyasha get away from there!" His father screamed, running after his tiny son,

" Daddy mr baloon!" Inuyasha cried as it popped, Inuyasha stood there, oblivious to the truck heading his way,

" Inuyasha!" His father screamed, leaping at his, son he pushed him out of the way, Inuyasha whimpered as he hit the ground hard, he looked back, a loud crunch and the swerving of a car was blatent in his ears.

" Daddy?" Inuyasha screamed,

" Inuyasha!" His older sister Kikyo roared, she grabbed him, covering his eyes, she dragged him back onto the pavement outside their house.

" Where's daddy, where is he?" Inuyasha screamed, he felt tears splatter onto his head and he stilled in his sisters grip,

" Daddy's gone!" Kikyo whispered, Inuyasha heard a second pair of footsteps and then a scream which he knew was his mothers, his sisters hand remained clamped over his eyes, but it trembled slightly. The next thing he knew he was sat on his sisters lap in the hospital being told his father had gone away. Though as he grew older it became clear his father was dead, and he knew only too well he was blamed for it. This was the first time he'd been the cause ofa death, and it had haunted him, never leaving him. His mother remarried, and this only made it worse, thinking someone had replaced the father who had died for him.

" Inuyasha!" He heard Miroku's voice growl, he opened his eyes to see Kagome being lifted off of her bed and being taken out of the room, Inuyasha growled,

" What are they doing?" He asked,

" They found a match, she's gone into theater for a emergency transfusion, but theres a 50/50 chance she'll die from it or wake up from it!" Miroku said quickly, Sango was following the people who were taking her friend away, but Miroku grabbed her arm.

" No let me go! I have to be there for her!" She cried, wriggling in his grasp,

" Sango you can't and you know it! We have to wait, wait and see!" he said, she sighed and stopped struggling. They all watched as Kagome dissapeared down the corridor, now she would either return awake, or b taken away, dead.
