" How's 21078 and 21079?"
The man asked dressed in white staring at the clipboard only identifying them by numbers and genders. The younger one washed his hands getting ready of the excess blood from doing a procedure.
"Â, yokatta. The girl is awake. She's having troubling speaking, and from knowing this is a little town she looks like a preacher's daughter. The guy hasn't awoken yet."
The doctor shook his head and looked over the girl in the far right corner. Her eyes been damaged alittle, not enough to be considered serious. She blinked, trying to straighten up her sentence ask best as she could.
" It's alright. This speech thing will ware of. For a burned victim your in pretty good condition. Now young lady, can you tell me your name?"
Kagome felt pain jolt through her body, staring at the plain white walls, only wondering where had the guy she had saved disappeared to.
" Kag..gome.. Higurashi…"
The younger assistant of the daughter smiled with delight, beaming at her. His head brushed against her forehead, and Kagome wished she could of shut him up.
" You're that preachers daughter! He's a very lucky man. Very smart and intelligent. You must be honored to be his daughter, I know I would be honored!"
Kagome just rolled her eyes at the young assistant. She could barely talk, but the glare she sent was enough to make him pay attention to her.
" He was…."

She spoke as though she had a knife in her hand. She was in a hospital, and the last thing she wanted to hear was about how grand her father was, what a fascinating man because he shoved religion down everyone's throat. She remembered when she was a little girl he said he wanted her to be married before anything happened, and save it for someone special. He made her even carry a bible, and so many times she tried to ditch it.
The young man opened his eyes widely, while the doctor was checking the machinery on the guy.
" What do you mean Kagome, was?"
They were all awe struck and she threw herself back in the bed staring at the ceiling, letting her eyes wonder to the guy who's eyes refused to be pried open. She gave a sad smile seeing the burns on his arms, that were red and raised against his pale skin. She couldn't understand who would tie someone to a cross and let them burn?
The doctor tried to wake him but he was motionless. Kagome had stopped caring for the young assistance's annoying voice and worry, until he was right in front of her face checking her blood.
" Kagome did you hear me?"
She shook her head and still the glare fixated in her dark brown eyes. To both of the doctors it seemed like she didn't care less about her father. It almost seemed rude, even selfish to think that but she was drifting in and out of religious thought. She grew up with religion considering her father's job, and went to Catholic's schools where Jesus was your main man. She had more reason to hate her father then she let people know.

" Sorry, I'm just tired. He's gone. The fire took his life as far as I know. I found that guy on a cross burning. It was some stupid prank, and some idiots almost killed him if I hadn't come home as early as I did…. Is he alright?"
The doctors gave her a sad look pulling a chair between her and the mysterious black haired teenage guy. The doctor adjusted his glasses while they other uncomfortable from her glare checked some reports in the distance.
" Yes he's fine. He's in a small coma though. He's name is " Inuyasha Tanashi" We found the ID in his wallet. Here you can see it if you'd like. I'm very sorry to hear that Ms. Higurashi. Not to go on or anything he was a good man. He changed and touched a lot of people's lives.I've seen it with my own relatives and friends. It was a honor to know him and meet him."
. She placed the wallet against the end table knowing she'd look at it later. . Her anger was raging up, balling up her fist ready to swing. She resisted and muttered underneath her breath, low enough that none could hear.
" Oh he changed lives alright. What a 'spectacular ' man. Is it possible I can catch some sleep now?"
Kagome just titled her head completely eye to eye. The doctor smiled apologetically flipping through his papers that had her name written in bold.
He rose from his chair and lightly held her hand as comfort. Kagome wanted his hands away from hers but she knew it was rude and uncalled for, specially when it was comfort for the death of a loved one.
" Yes of course. I'm completely sorry. I know what its like to lose a loved one. My girlfriend is well… Died from a shooting accident. I'm sorry I'm rambling on. You do have your mother's eyes though, it's a comment I needed to say. Goodnight Ms. Higurashi."
Kagome threw her head back in the pillow with a tiresome smile seeing the flickering lights finally gone. It was then she saw the mysterious guy getting pulled by the doctor into the doorway.
" Wait!"
The doctor stood frozen for a moment like a statue seeing she rose from the hospital bed.
" Isn't the young man staying in this facility?"
The doctor shook his head that she could barely see in the dark. He draped the blanket over his body, seeing how his body was cold as ice.
" No I'm sorry Higurashi. He's already has infection and inflammation from the fire, and was sent into a coma. So its best he is treated in the a proper care unit where he can be looked after 24/7. He's in a severe state right now. So he'll be down the hall. Oh don't forget there's TV and snacks on the counter here, and the call button for the nurses. Don't worry he'll be fine."

It was finally the door had shut. She turned on the TV and shut it off the minute she saw the news. In curiosity and boredom she grabbed the black leather wallet with the white trimming and the rusted chain attached. She flipped it open seeing a few cards and memberships to gyms, bars and sports. It was then he came to the most interesting card, ' Driver's License'. With a smile she pulled it close to her.
There was a picture of him with a smile that almost seemed genuine. He had the darkest eyes and short shaggy like black hair that had been longer in the picture. He seemed almost like a rebel with the piercings in his ears she failed to notice. It seemed like his smile was pretty fake, and it gave her a chuckle to know he was normal. Not like the church people she felt like she lived on a island with.
" Inuyasha Tanashi. I recognize that name….But why?"
AN: I'm so sorry. This isn't the best chapter considering I've been away to Ottawa for awhile and sick. Thank you for your comments. I didn't think people would enjoy this but hey, I do what I can.
