Ch.6: The white building.
Kagome's P.O.V
"I'm very sorry but your mother has had a heart attack." I dropped the phone and all of the bags and fell hard onto the pavement. Inuyasha quickly dropped his bags and ran to my side.
"Kagome? Are you alright?" Inuyasha put his hand on my shoulder. I didn't reply I just stared at the gray pavement beneath me, completely speechless. My mom…had a…heart attack. Please god let her be ok! Please! Please! Tears started trickling down my cheeks.
"Kagome! Answer me! Are you alright!" Inuyasha shook me a little. My head slowly turned to face his. Inuyasha stared at me with shock as his watched the tears run down my cheeks.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha said softly. "Kagome, what happened?" He stared into her glazed eyes. His ears twitched underneath the hat and averted his gaze over to the fallen phone.
"Hello? Kagome are you still there? Hello?" I picked up the phone and put it to my ear.
"Yes… I'm still here." I replied, trembling. Inuyasha stared at me intently.
Inuyasha's P.O.V.
The smell of Kagome's tears ripped my heart to shreds. What could have happened? I looked at Kagome again. She closed her phone and once again stared at the pavement.
"Ka…gome?" I began but I was interrupted. Kagome turned to me and grabbed my shirt and started to sob. I wrapped one arm around her waist and put my other hand on her head, stroking her hair gently. She clutched onto my shirt as if it were her life line.
"Shhh. It's ok. It's ok." I said gently. I picked her up bridal style along with the four bags. After a bit of struggle, I opened the back doors and scooted onto the seat with Kagome still in my arms. I figured we might be here a while so I had a feeling we should get off the ground.
"Kagome? What happened?" I gently grabbed her chin so she would look at me. Her cheeks were stained with tears and her eyes were red.
"My-my-my mo-m h-ad a heart…attack." Kagome stuttered. No wonder she's upset. I let go of her chin and let her put her head back onto my chest.
"Everything is going to be alright, ok?" Kagome nodded her head and I rocked her back and forth to calm her down.
"We need to go the hospital! I need to see her!" I nodded my head in reply and let her get into her seat. I made sure all of the bags were there and got into my seat as well.
The car ride was incredibly silent. I could still smell her tears. After quite some time, we got to the hospital. Kagome slowly made her way to the front desk.
"Hello, my name is Kagome Higurashi, is my mom here? Her name is Moriko Higurashi." Kagome asked quietly. The women scanned a few papers before she replied.
"Yes, she is in room… 231 on floor… 2"
"thank you" Kagome smiled sweetly and began to walk away. Before I knew it, my arm was around her waist and I was whispering calming words into her ear. Suddenly, two large metal doors parted and a little room appeared. Kagome led me in and she pushed a button and the doors began to close. Kagome looked up at me and saw that my eyes had widened and the expression on my face was unreadable. Then, I heard something that was like music to my ears. Kagome giggled. I turned to her.
"what!" I asked annoyed, even though I was incredibly relieved.
"It's an elevator Inuyasha. It takes us up and down to different floors so we don't have to use the stairs." Kagome giggled again and smiled at me.
"Oh… umm…ok" Well, you learn something new every day…and in my case, I learn many things a day, what with being in her world.
The doors once again opened and revealed a completely different floor than what we had entered before. Kagome began to walk out and I followed. We walked down the hall in silence until we reached a white door with the numbers 231 on it.
Kagome's P.O.V
I stared at the white door in front of me. Fresh tears started to descend down my cheeks once more when I looked through the window of the door. There my mom was laying in a white bed with her eyes closed. Many cords and expensive machines filled the room. I slowly opened the door and walked in. Inuyasha followed behind me. When I reached my mom's bed, she was sleeping peacefully. I grabbed her hand and sat down on the chair beside the bed. I rested my head down onto the bed and began to sob. I felt Inuyasha's hand start to rub my back. I raised my head and looked at him. His eyes were full of worry.
"Everything is going to be ok." Inuyasha said quietly. I smiled at him sweetly. I'm so glad he's here with me! I don't know what I'd do with out him.
"Thank you…for everything." I replied. Inuyasha opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by the door swinging open revealing my grandpa and Souta in the door way. They both ran up to the bed.
"Is she alright? Please tell me she's alright!" My grandpa yelled. I blinked a couple of times before I answered.
"She's resting right now and I'm pretty sure she is alright. I haven't spoken to a doctor or nurse yet." My grandpa calmed down and sat in the chair beside me. That's when I noticed Souta. He stood there staring at my mom, tears running down his cheeks. I got up and wrapped my arms around him. He did the same except, he held onto my waist so hard I could barely breathe. But that didn't matter once I heard the heart wrenching sound. Souta began to cry heavily into my stomach. It crushed me. More than anyone could ever imagine.
"She'll be alright, Souta. Don't you worry!" I whispered into his ear. Although as much as I didn't want to believe it, I really didn't know whether she'll be ok. I just can't stand to see Souta hurt. My gaze left Souta and I scanned the room. My eyes met with large amber orbs that were fixated on me. I smiled ever so slightly to tell Inuyasha that I was alright. Souta was still grasping me pretty hard and I was now finding it pretty hard to breath. I began to cough a little but Souta didn't notice. Inuyasha quickly got up.
"Hey kid. You might want to let go of Kagome. You don't want her to pass out, do you?" Inuyasha teased. Souta shook his head and released me. I took a large breath and mouthed 'thank you' to Inuyasha. He smiled and returned to his chair. A couple of minutes later, a doctor came through the door.
"Hello, my name is Dr.Oshiro." said the women.
"Hello! My name is Kagome. This is my grandpa, the sleepy head is Souta, and the one in the corner is Inuyasha." I shook hands with Dr.Oshiro as well as my grandpa and Inuyasha.
"It's nice to meet you all. Now about Ms. Higurashi. Before the heart attack had she been under any sort of stress?" Dr. Oshiro asked.
"Umm, not that I know of. I have been… traveling often." I glanced over at Inuyasha and smiled. "But, I've been doing that for over a year now." Dr.Oshiro nodded her head and took down notes.
"Is your mother an alcoholic?"
"No! Definitely not! She hardly ever drinks."
"Does she smoke?"
"No"
"Drugs?"
"No."
"Hmm" Dr. Oshiro looked as if she were in deep thought.
"What? What is it?" I asked worriedly.
"Well, because your mother hasn't been under any stress that you know of, she's not an alcoholic, not a smoker, doesn't do drugs, and, from what the tests have shown, she hasn't been sick lately; we don't know exactly why she had the heart attack. Right now, she is unconscious from the shock of the heart attack, so, I'm going to leave for a little while and return later. Your also welcome to the food we have just around the corner. See you soon"
"Bye"
"Bye"
"Bye"
"No mommy! I don't want any dragon flies!" Souta mumbled in his sleep. Everyone laughed. Even Inuyasha.
It soon became late. Gramps and Souta both left, but I insisted on staying. But I wasn't alone. Inuyasha stayed with me.
"I wonder what Sango and Miroku are doing. They're probably wondering where we are." I looked down at the floor. I miss every back in the feudal era. I hope I get to see them again.
"Well I'll give you one guess," Inuyasha began. "Miroku has groped Sangos ass numerous times and by now Miroku is unconscious with a broken nose." I giggled.
"I bet you're right" Inuyasha smiled.
"So, what do you want to do right now?" I asked. Inuyasha just shrugged.
"You're certainly helpful." I said playfully.
"Well soorrry! It's just so god damn boring here. There aren't any demons to fight around here or anything exciting. How do you live here?" Inuyasha complained.
"Well, usually, I'm not in a hospital at 10pm. But, if it were day time, I'd be hanging out with friends or going to the arcade or something! Actually now that I think about it, I think I brought a deck of cards with me in my purse. You never know when your mother is going to have a heart attack and you'll be in the hospital for all hours." I joked. "Then again, I don't think you would know how to play any game anyways."
"Well teach me! It's better than sitting around doing nothing!" Inuyasha protested.
"Yah, I guess you're right. Alright… lets play… War! Yah I like that game."
"Ok teach away." We both got on the ground and I dealt the cards.
"Ok, this is how it works. Each of us gets half the deck…" I explained the game briefly and began to play.
"Haha! I win again!" Inuyasha bragged.
"Beginners luck!" I shot back.
"On the thirteenth game? I think I'm just better at it then you are!" Inuyasha boasted. I stuck out my tongue and he just kept on smiling. Sometimes I just want to kill him! Well not literally of coarse. He's too hot to touch… wow that sounded really corny! Well he is pretty darn sexy. Even when he's being annoying.
"What?" Inuyasha asked confused.
"Hmm? What?" I asked also quite confused.
"You were starring at me!" Inuyasha stated. Aw crap!
"No I wasn't!"
"Yes you were"
"No, I wasn't"
"Yes, you were!"
"You know, we always fight about the stupidest things." I said.
"There not always stupid!" Inuyasha replied.
"Most of them are."
"Nuhuh!"
"Yahuh!"
"Nuhuh!"
"Yahu-… listen to ourselves! Wow we're pretty pathetic, aren't we"
"Yah, Kinda!" Inuyasha said calmly.
"I'm going to go get some water do want any?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yah that'd be great thanks!" I replied happily. It will also give me some quiet alone time with my mom. Inuyasha left leaving me beside my mom. I put my hand on hers and just stared at her face. All that could be heard was the constant beeping of the heart rate monitor beside the bed. I tightened my grip on my mom's hand and started to fall asleep.
