Back with Sango, Miroku and Shippo, it was not fun; Koga had come looking for Kagome and a fight with Inuyasha.
"Um…they're not here." Miroku said stupidly.
"Well, where the hell are they?" Koga was starting to get pissed.
"They're at a 20th century hospital." Sango piped up, knowing Koga wouldn't hit a girl.
"What the hell is a hospital?" Koga stared blankly at the.
'Damn, didn't think of him saying that!' "It's a medical building, where they take care of sick of injured people."
"Did the worthless mutt get hurt?" A gentle breeze made a hollow noise sound in everyone's head save for Koga's, who still had no idea what was going on. "What Kagome's not sick or hurt is she! I'll kill that mutt; he's supposed to protect her until I kill Naraku!...How do I get to the 20th century?"
"We can't, Inuyasha and Kagome are the only ones who can travel through the well." Sango sent an icy glare at Koga, completely freaking him out. "And why can't you protect Kagome, huh! What too lazy, or can't you fight off a couple of demons!"
"Sango, I really don't think you should do that!"
"Shut up, Miroku! Inuyasha shouldn't feel bad if Kagome gets hurt if it's not his doing! Just like you shouldn't feel bad about that either! What you should feel bad about is blaming Inuyasha for every little thing that goes wrong! You should apologize, but I guess thatwould be too much to expect from a worthless wolf!" She crossed her arms across her chest, stared skeptically at Koga for a moment, grunted frustration, and stormed into Kaede's hut yelling about how stupid guys are.
"Well, that was fun, I'll just go into the hut to calm her down and allow her to take her extra energy out on me!" Miroku smirked lecherously and headed toward the hut.
"Monk you come in here and I'll let my extra energy out by beating you into a pulp!" Miroku stopped dead in his track, blushed, and turned around to face Koga. "She seems a little touchy right now."
"What is she, menstrual?" a piece of wood flew out of the hut and hit Koga square in the head.
"That was a little harsh, Sango don't you think?" The Hiraikotsu was the next thing that flew out of the hut. "Ahh, Sango, don't be so harsh, I was only kidding, come on, and stop throwing things at me!" Miroku then tripped over Koga while he was running, and was slammed in the back of the head by the giant boomerang. Shippo glanced over at the two men lying in a pile.
"Idiots." Shippo rolled his eyes and shook his head.
Back In Modern Japan
"So did the doctor say when you can leave this place…it smells." Inuyasha glared around the room with disgust. "And the nurses talk far too much."
Kagome giggled at his negativity. "We can leave on Saturday, it doesn't smell that bad and at least the doctor is nice."
"Feh…but we still didn't tell the others in the feudal era and that scrawny wolf has probably bothered them by now in search of you and a fight with me."
"Oh, God, I didn't even think about him; I was having such a good time here with you."
'Go me!' Inuyasha blushed, "So, how many days until Saturday?"
'Boys have no sense of time.' "Two, Thursday and Friday, then maybe they'll let us leave."
The doctor walked into the room sucking on a sucker with his hands in his pockets, "Hey there, lovebirds!" Inuyasha's eyes got wide and Kagome turned beet red, "You know, son, you shouldn't be awake yet. It's only Wednesday and you were awake for two and a half weeks, one day is not going to cut it." It was true, Inuyasha still didn't look too good, but he couldn't sleep any longer, he was getting bored.
"I know, but I can't possibly sleep any longer."
"You want something to help with that...like a sedative, you still look like hell."
"Naw, I'll be fine, I'm stronger than that stuff is. I'll catch up with my sleep in a week or so."
Kagome got up, but Inuyasha grabbed her arm. "Where do you think you're going?"
"I have to ask the doctor something." She shook Inuyasha's hand off her own, grabbed the doctor's elbow and pulled him fifty or more feet down the hallway. "Um can you give Inuyasha a light sedative, we'll be traveling and he won't want to sleep, but while he's here, he has nothing better to do because he'll make me sleep anyways."
"Okay, but only a light one…why?"
"He's was right about being strong, but he's easily affected by smells, foods, dinks and medicines. It aught to do its job, even if it's not that much."
"Okay, how should I give it to him?"
"In his coffee."
"Evil. Devious. I like it." They high-fived and walked back to the room. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow.
"You done now, can I be acknowledged again?"
"Yes we're done, the true question is; are you done being sarcastic, angry-boy?"
"Shut up."
"Do you two know that you fight like an old married couple?"
"GRRR." Inuyasha sent a death glare toward the doctor.
"Could you turn around for a second, doctor?" The man did what he was told. "Inuyasha, sit." Kagome whispered it silently so only Inuyasha heard.
"Gyaa!" Inuyasha slammed into the floor, knocking their food tray on top of himself. "Damn rosary!" No one could hear his curses; he was too far into the floor.
"Okay, doctor, you can turn back around now." The doctor did what he was told again.
"Nice, what'd you do to him?"
"Nothing, just asked him to sit." Inuyasha yelled again, but he only went farther into the ground.
"Wow, good trick. Alright, kids, I'd like to stay here all day and watch you bicker, I really would, it's funny, but the only way I can get paid is if I help people. Oh, and Kagome, what you asked earlier, I'll have a nurse get right on top of it, tell your mom so she doesn't get in the way of the idea. It'll come at dinner. Later, son."
"Bye, doc!" Inuyasha waved a hand up from the floor.
"Thank you, doctor." Kagome looked down at Inuyasha, "Are you ready to be a good puppy?"
"You're lucky you're hurt and a girl... or you'd be dead right now."
She rubbed under his hat affectionately; finding his ears and massaging them.
Inuyasha had his eyes closed for a moment, then reality hit him. "Would you stop doing that every chance you get!" Inuyasha blushed while Kagome giggled. "Where's your mom?"
"Work."
"What does she do?"
"She's a lawyer's secretary. She does filing, billing, and sorts his cases. It's rather funny, he's useless without her, I'd swear that he wouldn't know when or how to eat if she wasn't there. But, that's only a part time, that's why she has a cell phone. The other half of the time she's the shrine's keeper, Gramps is as useless as her boss in that area."
Inuyasha laughed, "She's very helpful, but, she worries far too much."
"…about you." Inuyasha looked at her with surprise, "She told me that she was really worried when you wouldn't eat or sleep. You know, she considers you family. She thinks you'd do anything for me and that you'd do anything to keep people moderately happy. According to her, you were very comforting when she was sad, even though you were sad yourself."
"Feh, you know I can't stand to see people I care about cry." He looked away, embarrassed.
"This is nothing you should be embarrassed about! She welcomed you into our family, the only thing to be embarrassed about is the fact that you haven't accepted it, why won't you allow yourself to be apart of my family?"
"..."
"You need a family! So, why not mine?"
"…It would just be odd if I was dating a member of my family." He looked at her with a cocked eyebrow and a wide smirk on his family.
"Idiot." Kagome smirked back at him. "But, seriously, my mom likes you, don't be soo shy around her." She added a cute smile at the end.
"Feh, whatever." He looked away with a pout evident on his face.
She grabbed his face and pulled it so he faced her, "Seriously, it hurts hers and my feelings that you won't open up to us." Her eyes burned holes it his.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be, just be more open now." She flashed a bright smile again.
"Fine." He looked at her with an odd look in his eyes that was foreign to her.
"Inuyasha..?"
He leaned in and kissed her; long and passionate. When he broke the kiss away, he looked at her with question in his eye; he was waiting for her approval.
To answer his questioning, she pulled him back towards her and replied with a longer kiss, the soft music could be heard playing; the romance was in the air.
The doctor sat at the door undetected, 'apparently their romance has blinded them.' He decided to clear his throat. "Hug-hem"
The two teenagers turned to him wide- eyed and beet red. "Hi there! Are we done with that?"
"Oh, God." Kagome muttered under her breath. "Nice kiss, Inuyasha" She muttered that quiet enough so only Inuyasha could hear it, causing him to blush even deeper. "Sorry, Doctor. We're done…" she turned to Inuyasha and muttered quietly again, just for him, "…for now." He blushed a deeper shade.
"Okay then. I have coffee for you, son. I also wanted to know if you could leave the room for a minute, we have to take Kagome's stitches out and it's a vile process."
Inuyasha turned to Kagome for confirmation, she nodded and he rose. "Thanks for the coffee, pops." He grabbed his coffee, high-fived the doctor and left.
"Well, that was interesting."
"Is this going to hurt?"
"Possibly, but we have quite a lot to remove, so he should be out by the time we're out. I have a nurse with a stretcher down the hall waiting, just in case."
"Very good. So we can leave on Saturday still, right?"
"If all of the tests check out, maybe Friday, if not, maybe sunday
