(InuYasha's POV)
How could I do this to her! I should have never taken her with me! Than again I shouldn't have kissed Kikyo. I thought as I laid Kagome down onto her bed gently. She just flinched and grabbed her side. "I'm going to go get your mom." I said and headed off to do so. I walked into the Kitchen where her mom was cooking. "Oh InuYasha dear I didn't know you were here!" She said sounding surprised. "Yeah um Kagome got hurt in my time and she's upstairs. Kaeda tried her best but I think Kagome needs to go to that hospital place." I said getting to the point. Her mom ran upstairs. After a few minutes she came back down. "InuYasha could you get her out to the car please!" She asked sounding frantic. I ran upstairs, picked Kagome up softly, and grabbed a hat to cover my ears. I than carried her to the car and held her in my lap while her mom drove. I figured if I held her it would take off some of the impact of the bumps in the road. Which I'm guessing is the black thing with the lines on it. Once we got to this huge white building with a red cross on it, which was apparently the hospital, I carried Kagome in. The nurses stared at me, but Kagome was light as a feather to me. "She fell and tore her side open." Her mom was telling a nurse. The nurse came over and lifted her shirt. "Why there is already a bandage on it!" She said sounding amazed. "I put that there to stop the bleeding till mom got home." I joined the lie. "So you are her brother?" She asked looked up at me in surprise. "Uh yeah." I said looking over at Mrs. Higurashi who nodded. "Well I must say you did a good job." And with that she left to get a gurney. When they rolled it out I laid Kagome on it gently. "If I hear you even so much as whimper with pain I will come in there and kill every damn one of them." I whispered to her. (Sorry it took so long for me to get him to cuss. I'm not a big fan of it.) She smiled softly. "They are only going to help me, even if it hurts a little bit." I just nodded and let them take her through a set of doors.
(Kagome's POV)
InuYasha could lie good. I thought with a small smile. My brother? I almost laughed. The doctor came over and looked at my side. "Tell me what happened Mrs. Higurashi." He asked removing the bandage. I almost groaned when I remember there were probably herbs on the injury. "Well this looks clean! Did your brother clean it?" The doctor asked. I blinked and nodded. It was hard to think of InuYasha as a brother. I laughed inwardly at the thought. "Well we are just going to stitch you up while you tell me how you got this." He said. I nodded and thought of a good lie. "Uh my brother made me mad so I got his bike and thought I could ride down out shrine steps. Well I fell, ow!" I yelped as he sowed. "Sorry. Go ahead." He muttered pour something that smelled strongly of alcohol on my wound. "I fell off and skidded the rest of the way down on this side." There my lie was out. "Really? This looks more like a scratch." He said. I swallowed and just shrugged. "That's what he said to." I replied. "Ok I'm done. If the stitches come out let me know immediately. You are lucky your brother was around or you would be in trouble." I nodded and smiled a bit. "We are going to keep you hear a few hours to make sure nothing comes up." He added. I nodded again and he left the room.
(InuYasha's POV)
This guy in a white coat, the doctor as Mrs. Higurashi called him, came up to us. "We stitched up Kagome's side and she should be ok in a few hours. We are going to give her some blood and an IV. She's a very lucky girl with a very caring brother." He said giving me a wink. "Can we see her?" I asked. He nodded and I took off following her scent. I opened another set of door and found her sitting in bed with her knees drawn to her chest crying. "Kagome?" I asked stepping forward. She looked up and wiped her eyes. "InuYasha I didn't hear you come in." She croaked. "Hey what's wrong why were you crying? Did they hurt you?" I yelled feeling my anger rise and my blood boil. "No I'm fine really." She got on her knees and sat there. I crossed my arms over my chest and nodded. "Good. So why were you crying?" I asked. She looked at her shaking hands and just shrugged. "Kagome it's no good lying to me." I muttered. She just sighed. I noticed a few tube running off her arms. "What are those?" I asked. She looked at them and smiled. "One has medicine in it for pain. And the other is blood." She replied. "They're sucking your blood out?" I yelled feeling my blood boil again. She laughed lightly and my temper faded. "No they are putting blood in me." She said and looked at my Horia. "InuYasha when we get home I'll get my mom to wash your cloths." I looked down and remembered her blood was all over me. "Keh!" I said. She gave me a smile and patted the spot in front of her. "Sit with me?" I walked over and sat cross legged on the bed, facing her. Her mom walked in a few minutes later. "Sorry for the wait dear I called your grandpa and Sota to tell them what was going on. They wish you well." She said with a smile. She also smiled, "Thanks mom."
(Kagome's POV)
I hope Sota isn't worrying to much. I also forgot why I was crying earlier. I had been thinking about InuYasha and Kikyo. The thoughts had never really bothered me before but this time it hurt to think they might end up together. I wondered if my mom would ever let me go back to the Feudal era now. "Yes you may go back after your wound heals just please be careful Kagome." She said as if reading my mind. It's that mom ESP picking up. I smiled as did InuYasha. He than looked guilty. "I'm sorry Kagome. This is my fault." I was taken aback. He hardly ever apologized to me over anything. It was new. "It's fine InuYasha I'm ok now." I said with a smile to back up what I was saying. He seemed to be in thought so I let him be. My mom said something about food and I nodded. I didn't realize it at first, but at the mention of food I was starving! She left with a smile to go to Wacdonlds. InuYasha still sat in his trance so I got out a book I had grabbed from home and stared reading until I felt eyes watching me. I looked up and saw InuYasha just staring at me. "What?" I asked. No answer. "What?" I asked again. Still no answer. "What!" I asked louder. "I'm comparing you to Kikyo." He said. I gasped and felt my heart drop. I went back to my book and felt tears in my eyes. How could he compare me to her! She had just kissed him! Why should I care what he thinks? I thought sadly. "What is wrong now?" He asked with his usual annoyance. I put on my best fake smile and looked over my book. "Nothing just a sad story." I lied. Hmm apparently I'm a good liar too I thought. He didn't look convinced so I smiled and went back to "reading" my book.
(InuYasha's POV)
She was hiding something from me. I could smell her sadness and knew it! What the hell was she hiding! Every time I asked she just pushed me away! What was it! What was wrong! I wanted to rip my hair out. She was lying to me. Sweet, innocent Kagome was hiding something from me. I hated this I felt like it was my fault. Oh duh Kikyo you idiot! I thought. She was upset and she didn't want me to feel bad so she was hiding behind that damn book. I wanted to tear it to shreds which would have been so easy with my claws but that would have earned me a sit and the silent treatment. And I did not want that. I just sighed and waited. Finally her mom came back and handed Kagome a burger and some fries and handed me some weird meat in a bun thing, hamburger is what Kagome said. And some long thin golden things, French Fries Kagome told me again. I ate them and found they were pretty good! I looked at Kagome who was munching on hers. "Kagome you need to eat or you are not going to get better." I warned. She looked up with a confused expression and than snapped out of it. "Oh yeah right." She muttered and picked up her pace a bit. I was really starting to worry about her. She looked so depressed every since I said I was comparing her to Kikyo. I was just seeing how wrong I was to even think she was Kikyo at first. She was different, I couldn't tell how but there was a lot of differences with her and Kikyo. Her eyes had more emotion than Kikyo's ever did even when she was alive. She just gave off this nice aura that anyone could pick up on. Something Kikyo didn't have nor ever had. I just smiled at her; even if she was sad I couldn't help but smile. She was so kind and caring.
(Kagome's POV)
This book was becoming interesting. I had just picked it up at the library and hurried home not even looking at the title. It was called "Romiette and Julio." So far I had gotten that this girl, Romi, and this boy, Julio, met online than found out they went to the same high school! Now they are thinking they are soul mates. It's getting better. So far I like Romi and Destiny. I sighed lightly. If only I could find my soul mate. I looked over at the clock on the wall. It read 2:22 pm. "Oh quick InuYasha make a wish!" I said closing my eyes. I wish InuYasha would be happy, even if it's not with me. I opened my eyes and noticed InuYasha watching me. "What?" I asked. "What did you wish for?" I blinked. "I can't tell you it's bad luck." He nodded. "Why did we wish on numbers?" He asked. "It's numbers that show up 3 in a row well 4 for 10:10, 11:11, and 12:12." I said. I remembered when Ayumi had first taught me that. I smiled gently as he looked thoughtful, than went back to reading my book. The doctor came back in a few minutes later. "Well it looks like Kagome can go home. There is no infection so far. Just make sure you keep and eye on it. Let her brother changed her bandages every day." He said looking at InuYasha. InuYasha looked confused than nodded. "Ok I'll change them." He said. I closed my book and stood up. It pulled and hurt so I sat back down. "Ah well that will happen." He said gently pulling the IV and blood out of my arm and putting a band aid on the places were they were. InuYasha leaned over and picked me up. "Well." The doctor said looking surprised. I felt my cheeks warm up.
(InuYasha's POV)
Everyone acts so surprised when I pick her up. Can't people do that here? The doctor shook his head and regained his composer. "That would be a good idea. She probably won't be able to walk for a little bit. And her side will be sore." He said writing on a piece of paper and than handing it to her mom. "This is a prescription for pain." He said. Mrs. Higurashi nodded. "I'll get it filled. Thank you doctor. Come along InuYasha." She said and I followed with Kagome in my arms. Her mom sighed when we got outside. "Well that wasn't so bad was it?" I shrugged. "Oh yes dear, not many people can pick up people like they were a stick here. That is why you got a few weird looks." She said. I nodded still feeling a little confused. "InuYasha dear could you take Kagome to the car please?" She asked stopping at the front desk. I nodded and carried her out to the car. I got into the back and held her so the bumps didn't bother her.
(Kagome's POV)
He was still acting sweet but I didn't know how long it would last. I sighed sadly and felt him hug me a little tighter. "What is wrong?" He asked. "Nothing." I lied. I couldn't tell him that I had fallen in love with him and dreaded him going to hell with Kikyo! My mom came out and started the car, saving me from farther questioning. I knew he was going to bombard me with questions when we got back to my house. "Kagome, InuYasha I'm going to drop you off by home and than take your prescription to get filled ok?" My mom asked. I nodded and InuYasha "Kehed." No one said anything else until we got home. InuYasha lifted me carefully. "Be careful Kagome." My mom said as she waved and left. InuYasha carried me inside and laid me on my bed. I felt drained of anything. I had been crying for about 15 minutes before InuYasha had walked in. "Kagome do you want something to drink?" He asked. I nodded, "Water please." He left, "We are going to talk when I get back." He said softly at the door. I knew it was coming but I didn't want it to.
(InuYasha POV)
I have demon blood. I heal faster. If only I could give Kagome some of my blood! That's it! I'll talk to her mom when she gets home! I could go to the hospital let them draw blood, what ever the hell that means and than give it to Kagome! Ha I can be smart! I stopped. Well that wouldn't work because you are part demon. I thought as I got Kagome's water and took it upstairs. She was looked exhausted. I'm sorry Kagome. I thought as I handed her the water. She drank some and sat it on a thing she called a night stand. She fell asleep and I sighed. We would never be able to talk. I heard her mom come in, so I walked downstairs. "Mrs. Higurashi I have an idea that might help Kagome get better faster." I said getting straight the point. She looked surprised. "What is it?" I swallowed and tried to think of a way to say it. "Well maybe we could go back to that hospital thing and have them draw blood than I could give it to Kagome and she could heal faster." I said. Her mom seemed to be thinking about it. "Well what would they do if they found out about your demon blood?" She asked finally. I took a breath. "All we need is one of those tube things with that clear pouch. Than Kagome can have my blood." I explained. She nodded a bit. "Well that seems like it might work," she sighed, "but than again your blood could hurt Kagome. Your human blood may be a different type." She shook her head and my heart dropped. I wanted to help Kagome get better! My ears drooped. "I know you want to help dear but just let her get some rest she will be ok." I nodded and just sighed.
(Kagome's POV)
I was running in a field when Kikyo came out of no where. "Why? Why has he chosen you?" She screamed pointing to me. My dream self tilted her head. "What do you mean?" I asked. "He left me in that field to find you!" She screamed just as loud. "That doesn't mean anything!" I returned. She ran up and started shaking me. "Stop!" I screamed and bolted up. I heard a thump and looked down to see InuYasha with a dazed look. My heart was about to beat out of my chest. It had seemed so real. "Kagome what the heck were you screaming for!" InuYasha yelled getting off my floor. "It was…nothing forget it." I said. "No." He sat on my bed and pulled me close to him. Our foreheads were touching. "You aren't going to lie about this!" He said loudly. I noticed my side didn't hurt to be sitting up. "I…It was Kikyo." I sighed. "What about Kikyo?" He asked. "She was asking me why you chose me over her." I muttered. I laid back down and closed my eyes. He never did get up.
(InuYasha's POV)
She had dreamed about Kikyo again. I wonder if I hurt her when I pulled her close to me. If I didn't she didn't say so. I stayed by her side until I knew she was really sleeping than I went back downstairs. I laid on the couch and thought about what Kagome had told me. Kikyo was in her dreams. Why? I rubbed my temples and felt something plop onto my chest. It was Kagome's fat cat, Buyo. "Fine but just for tonight got it?" I asked. "Meow!" Was his response and I dozed off.
