Chapter 9
Inuyasha came out of the elevator twenty minutes after they'd left upstairs.
"What took you so long?" Kagome asked, rolling down the window to the convertible. Kelly was lying down in the back seat. "You didn't kill him did you?"
"No. I should have, but I didn't." Inuyasha replied. Sounding sort of distant.
Kagome looked at him with a frown. "Are you okay? I promise you, we're all alright. Thank you for saving us. Inuyuki and Kelly are asleep."
Inuyasha looked at the sleeping teenager. "Not a good idea, wake her up, she needs to go to the hospital. And I need to call Sesshoumaru. Roll up the window again, and stay in there till I get back. I need to go lock Shippou's truck." And he walked off across the pavement. Pulling out his cell phone as he went.
He still wasn't sure how he'd found the place. All he knew was it was some sort of instinct. Probably the same instinct that had lead him to the park earlier that day, after he had been at the shrine not long before.
He found his brothers number, and listened to the phone ring. As he started locking Shippou's truck.
"No-Tashio" came his brothers voice.
"Hey fluffy. How's it hanging?" Inuyasha asked, in his distinct English drawl.
His brother laughed dryly. "What do you want brother. Unlike you, I have things I need to do."
Inuyasha sighed. "I may need a cover up."
There was silence for a moment. "Dare I ask why?"
"Kyle Yustsuyu. He went after Kagome. And my pup. By the way, you're an uncle! Anyways, I kicked the shit out of him, and he needs to be shipped to the caves ASAP. Thanks bro!"
There was a heavy sigh on the other end of the phone. "So, your temper, once again, got you into trouble."
"Hey! I didn't do it in front of Kags. Besides, what would you have done if this fuck went after Rin? Huh? He's probably doing it for revenge too. He knows about the New York thing, I knew that would come back one day to bite me in the ass." He mumbled.
Sesshoumaru smiled on the other end of the phone. "Baka brother. You are the largest of them all. I'll see what I can do about Yustsuyu. Now, I have things to do half-breed. goodbye."
"See yea fluffy. tell the brats I said hi. That includes your wife!" And he hung up the phone. It was amazing sometimes how he and his brother had changed towards each other over the years. They were really brothers now, and not enemies. It was kind of nice. He was still a bastard though.
Inuyasha walked back towards his convertible, and was happy to see Kelly sitting up in the seat, holding an instant ice-pack to her head.
He walked up to the drivers side door, and raped on the window. Kagome smiled at him, and unlocked it. "I can unlock it for you right?"
He smirked. "Yea. But oh no! We can't go to the hospital! someone's mate will get mad at them!" He said, turning in his seat to see a unsmiling Kelly.
She glared at him. "I was just takin down, knocked out, I have a cold head, and pounding headache. Don't. mess with me." She grounded out between clenched teeth.
Inuyasha smirked. Turned the car on, and pulled out the drive way. Heading for the nearest hospital. "Kags, " He said, pulling out his phone, and tossing it to her. "Shippou's number should be in there under 'brat', call him and tell him where we are. Kelly, you and baby alright back there?"
She glared again. "The baby's just fine. Me, not so much, I'm being forced to stay awake, when my eyelids feel like the have 50 pound weights tangling off em, my head feels like it's read to split open, and I have the very unpleasant taste of blood in my mouth. Not to mention, I have to pee, and puck. But other then that, just peachy."
Kagome called Shippou, and he answer with a quick. "Hello? Inuyasha? Is she okay? Where is she? How's our kit?"
"Slow down Shippou, she may have a concussion, but she's fine. We're going to the hospital right now to get her checked out. She's in the back seat, and in a very bad mood." Kagome replied.
"I'd imagine. If she's got a concussion, that means she lost a fight. That must have pissed her off." He said, the small smirk apparent in his voice.
"You know!" Kelly yelled out, waking Inuyuki with a start. "That's a very loud cell phone you green fur ball!"
Kagome smiled. "Hormonal women. You'll learn to love em Shippou."
"I already do. Anyways, I would meet you at the hospital, but someone took my truck. I might be able to jack Sango's car, but no promises." Shippou said. "I love you honey!" He called to Kelly. She just glared at the phone.
They went to the local Youkai/Hanyou hospital. Kagome had been there many times, after Jake had transferred her there.
The emergency room didn't seem to be busy. It had a few people in it, but they seemed to be uninjured. Probably waiting for someone else.
Inuyasha carried Inuyuki up to the counter, while Kagome lead Kelly behind him.
"She may have a concussion, she's carrying a hanyou child, and she's mate of a No-Tashio. Treat her well."
The youkai women nodded. But before she lead her away, Inuyasha whispered something in Kelly's ear. She nodded, before disappearing through a pair of double doors.
Inuyasha and Kagome proceeded to sit in the uncomfortable waiting room chairs in silence, with Inuyuki still sleeping in her car seat.
"What did you say to her?" Kagome asked after a moment of silence.
Inuyasha turned his head to look at the double doors. "To stay away from Yustsuyu no matter what, or her mate would skewer me."
Kagome smiled, and then looked over at her daughter. She was just waking up, and blinking innocently at her mother. A far off expression came over Kagome's face, as she thought.
After a few minutes, the question came, "What was he talking about?"
Inuyasha turned to look at his mate. "Who?"
"Kyle. He was gonna tell me something. What was he talking about? " She asked slowly, but then said, much quicker at the look on his face, " I know you know, so don't even try to tell me you don't."
Her mate sighed lightly. "A mistake. A big, stupid, mistake."
All of a sudden the doors to the emergency room burst open, and they wheeled in Kyle Yustsuyu on a stretcher. Inuyasha instantly stood up, and ran over to him. "This youkai is to be treated under heavy guard, by order of the No-Tashio. Don't let him leave!" Inuyasha roared demandingly to the nurse who came running up.
She nodded, and proceed through the double doors wheeling Yustsuyu.
Inuyasha came back over to sit next to her. He flopped down into a chair. "Great, if Shippou knows I let his mate, and that sicko be in the same building without supervision he'll kill me!"
Kagome patted his arm. "It'll be fine. What exactly did you do to him?"
"I was lenient. Very lenient. I could have killed him, probably should have." He said, burring his face in his hands.
They waited another ten minutes before a nurse came out, and told them Kelly had to be kept over night for observation. Shippou burst through the doors at that moment, demanding to know where his mate was, and where the hell the jerk was who had done this.
"She's fine No-Tashio Sama. And so is your kit. The youkai who did this to her is in much worst shape. I doubt she did that to him." The nurse said, with an inquiring eyebrow raise.
Inuyasha smirked. "Hell no she didn't do that, I did, and he deserved a whole hell of a lot more."
"You're lucky we got local police out of this case, or you'd be spending the night in a cell Inuyasha No-Tashio-Sama ." The nurse commented.
He smirked. "Now you'd never let that happen Miyu, for old times sake." Inuyasha commented.
She smiled. "You might be right on that one."
And she walked away, leading Shippou to his mate.
Kagome turned to hers, "Old times sake?"
He smirked again. "I used to work at this hospital not long before you were born. Me and Miyu were like siblings. She covered for me, and I covered for her."
Kagome smiled. "Let's get out of here, I'm exhausted, and I don't want my daughter to spend the night in an emergency room."
As she walked over to the mentioned infant, she heared a voice say. "Our daughter my love. Ours."
A couple more chapters, and then that's it. Thank you all for your patience. I'll probably post the rest of the story tonight. - Fu Fu
