Notes: Eek. Oh yesh, about the phone number, I made it up on the dot. Don't try calling it, 'kay? That would suck. All I remember are that Japanese phone numbers are long. Real long. Mila2504, so many questions! Tis okay, you will know in this chapter. Sorta. MoonGodess2, everyone tells me I'm evil. In reality too! Banana Rum, holy crap, thank you so much. You are the best editor and proofreader. Wow. Everyone visit and read Banana Rum's fanfix! Thanx, I fixed those mistakes.
Chapter Eight: Threat
The six friends took the long way home. And death had to visit. Kagome found herself lying in a hospital bed. Or was she? Either way, she was not threatened. Not only by Kouga's harassment, but Ayame's reasoning itself.
"Argmmm…" Kagome moaned. She opened her eyes slowly and examined the area. She was in a white room, lying in a white bed. The shades were pulled over the window, and the room was dark, but it was all really bright to her, so she closed her eyes.
"Give her some fucking painkillers!" She heard a masculine voice shout out.
"I'm sorry, we can't do that without her parents consent…" Another voice replied.
'What had happened?' Oh yeah, she remembered. They were in Miroku's Mercedes and driving on highway 666… 'What about the others!' She thought, and she turned her head slightly towards the voices, but a sharp pain shot through her face and neck, and she yelled out, "Arghh" and turned back.
"Kagome!" The first voice shouted out and a tall figure rushed at her side. "You feel any pain? Hang in there." The voice told her. Kagome reopened her eyes. She looked up into golden light copper colored eyes.
"Inuyasha…?" She asked, and she looked around with her eyes. He had his right arm in a cast, in a sling over his shoulder. But Kagome realized that Inuyasha was carrying her. 'Was that real?' She thought. 'Of course not.' She thought.
"I carried you to a car that stopped to help us." Inuyasha said, sliding back into a chair by her bedside.
'It was real? He risked his pain…?' Kagome thought, and tried to move her neck so she could look into his face. "Your…arm…?" She asked weakly.
"It's broken." Inuyasha replied. The doctor and nurse came in.
"What's your name?" The doctor asked her.
"Kagome…Higurashi…" Kagome replied weakly. All this talking had taken a lot out of her, although it wasn't her fault. Her jaw felt numb, but her head and neck still felt the same. In pain.
"Kagome. We've cleaned you up and given you our highest permitted painkiller. It has numbed your jaw, as we can tell from your speak. We cannot give you anything stronger without your parents consent. Would you tell us your parent's work phone number? Or home phone?" The doctor added. He had a cold sense to him, like he didn't care what happened to Kagome or not.
"555…" Kagome tried to say, but all she said was sounds of gargling; she could no longer speak. Her eyes showed weakness and she looked at Inuyasha.
"555-472-8078." Inuyasha finished. He looked away from Kagome, and Kagome wondered how he knew her phone number. The doctor jotted it down and left the room, leaving Kagome and Inuyasha alone.
It was silent for a little while, and Kagome looked away. "How did you know about Kouga?" She inquired quietly.
"…I just want to protect you." Inuyasha paused, and kept silent and turned his head to the side, hiding his face and the thoughts that might have shown up on his face. He shook his head. He looked back at her. "Not how, but why?" He asked abruptly, and he left the room.
"Inuyasha!" She shouted at him as loud as she could, and she cringed at the pain in her face. He kept on walking. 'What is up with him? Why is this happening to me?' She thought, yelling at herself in her thoughts. She closed her eyes to keep in tears.
"Kagome…" She heard a male voice say.
"Inuyasha?" She opened her eyes and asked out loud. She looked over to her side and saw Kouga sitting in a chair.
"No, its Kouga." Kouga smirked, frowning at the same time. He stood up and walked next to her, leaning his face closer to hers.
'This is a dream.' Kagome thought, and she stated it out loud. "This is a dream. Kouga, you are dead." Kouga frowned at the statement.
"I don't have to be. See, ever since you came to that spot, that clearing, I want to see you more. And I've left that haunting spot. And now we can be together." Kouga snickered.
"No. You are dead." Kagome shouted, trying to push him away with her hands, but she was too weak.
"You don't like that dog crap, do you?" He asked, and stood back up, shaking his head in disapproval. "You know you shouldn't, he's just a man-whore."
"Leave me alone. Stop bothering me." Kagome said quietly. Her eyes closed and tears ran down as they opened again.
"Leave her alone, Kouga. You lied again, for the last time. This girl is going to die." A feminine voice said.
"Ayame…" Kouga said, backing up. A soft worried look was in his eyes, and he grabbed her arm.
Ayame pulled away. She walked to Kagome's side. "I'm sorry. It's the only way to stop Kouga from bothering you. Your death." Ayame told her. "It's the only way from stopping him from bothering you." She repeated. "Rest in peace." She added coldly.
"You're just jealous, Ayame." Kouga told her. "Don't let jealousy do something you don't want to do." He looked at Ayame with pleading eyes. "Don't do this again."
'Again!' Kagome thought it shock and fear. If this happened before, there's no stopping Ayame. Kagome was dead afraid. She wished Inuyasha was there, by her side, fending for her. "Can't you both just leave me alone!" Kagome shouted out. At that, her heart was pacing quickly, sweat rolling down her face and neck. Her back heated up like a nightmare, and she woke up with chills. Or did she wake up?
"Kagome. Silly wench." Inuyasha said, pulling down one of Kagome's ears, almost allowing it to rip.
"Wake up." Sango replied, giving Inuyasha a rude glare. Kikyo just snickered, and then tapped on Kagome's shoulder, stretching across Inuyasha so she could do so.
Kagome woke up abruptly, due to the pain in her ripping ear. "Huh…?" Kagome said, and she wiped her forehead. She observed her own surroundings. A old temple, and a small house porch parallel to the car door. "I am home?" She asked, rubbing her ear in irritation.
The whole gang just nodded, and Shippo had the door open, waiting for her to get out so he could hop back in. "Hurry up, I have to get to sleep!" Inuyasha muttered rudely. Kagome gave him a strange look and got out of the car. The car door closed, and Mercedes left.
'What was up with him?' Kagome thought. Inuyasha had never acted that way with her. He was just a senior that was in her class, that's all. Why was he being so mean? She thought, puzzled. 'And when did I fall asleep? I remember…I was daydreaming… Could Kouga appear in daydreams?' Then the awful thought of Ayame's cold hearted words struck her.
Note: I'm so sorry if you didn't like the fact that the whole crash was a daydream. But you know, I needed some daydreams, because after all, this fanfic is called 'Kagome's Daydreams' and wasn't really going to have an actual plot. The Kouga thing wasn't even planned. Anyhow, I'm loving how this is turning out. Hope you enjoyed this chapter, and please review!
