Disclaimer: I once had a goldfish……..I MISS YOU, GOLDY! T-T (me sobbing in corner as my puppy starts licking me) NOW I ONLY OWN MY DOG! (I hold him up for everyone to see as he starts freaking out) SIT STILL, DAMMIT!

The doctor hadn't lied, removing the stitches had hurt. But after they had finished, they found a sleeping hanyou in the hallway, they put him on the stretcher and put it in Kagome's room near her bed. According to the doctor, they could leave on Saturday, as planned.

"Are you going to be able to control yourself?" The doctor smirked over at the blushing girl.

"Will you leave already!" She sent a dark glare at him, but smirked mischievously.

He waved over his shoulder at her as he left the room laughing. "Later, pumpkin!"

"Pumpkin!" Her mood lightened when she looked over at Inuyasha. He looked like hell. But he was innocent and cute when he was asleep. Her thoughts flew to her friends. She hadn't sent Inuyasha back to tell them that she was awake. They'd just have to wait until Saturday for her to return with him. She was glad that her assumption about Inuyasha and the sedative had been true. She didn't want to over drug him, but she didn't know when the sedative was going wear off.

In Feudal Japan

Miroku, Sango and Shippo had been in the bushes all day. They had been watching Koga fight with the well and its power. He had jumped down it about fifteen times, sat staring into it longingly in five minute increments after each attempt, and was currently curing at it while circling around. It had taken all of them all of the energy they could muster to not burst out laughing at the moron Koga was making himself out to be. They had been running low on energy lately. They, like Inuyasha, had found it hard to sleep after they found out about Kagome. Koga had not slept all too well either, but he had accomplished some. Miroku had even stopped groping Sango. He did not wish to upset her…plus she was in a bad mood due to lack of sleep.

"WHY DOES THIS DAMN THING ACCEPT THE MUTT AND NOT ME! I'M FULL BLOOD! I'M PURE YOUKAI!" He sat down and started to calm down and think (A/N: That's a first for Koga! Let's all clap for him. YAY, you useless moron sorry, I like the idea of Inuyasha and Kagome dating better than Koga and Kagome… I didn't mean to offend anyone, but I think Koga is dumb Don't worry, there'll be no Kikyo praising in this, judging from what a lot people write on this website, no one likes her…tell me how you feel about the Inuyasha characters, I want to know. I want to write this so it can be more interesting for everyone. -…o "I LOVE PEOPLE!"…- READ ON SLAVES. o … JKJK)

Koga sat at the base of the well deep in thought. "Maybe that's why it won't let me pass through it. …But, It obviously accepts humans." He smiled wickedly and sniffed the air, his eyes widening in horror. He glared at the bushes and flew over to them, grabbing Sango in the process.

"SANGO!" Miroku lunged for her, but missed terribly, he was no match for demon speed plus two Shikon shards.

Koga held her arms at her side as he turned her to face him. He was met by Sango's frightening glare. "Do you think I wouldn't notice you in the bushes!" He was pissed.

"Well, you didn't notice us for the first half hour!" she spat rebelliously.

He glared at her insolence, but it was replaced by a ruthless smirk. "You think that's funny don't you! Well, let's see how you react!" With that, he threw her into the well, causing her to scream shrilly. Miroku flew from the bushes, but came too late; she was already in the well. Koga watched the well with a wide smirk; he was far too preoccupied to notice Miroku come up to him. As soon as Miroku got there, he took all the strength he could must (which was quiet a lot) and drilled Koga in the head, sending him flying. Koga looked up to see a beyond pissed monk (like Inuyasha pissed…O.O), which scared the crap out of him.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT FOR?" Miroku bellowed at him, scaring Koga and Shippo. "SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! I WAS THE ONE WATCHNG YOU! SHE CAME TO FIND ME!" Even someone who didn't know Miroku could tell that furious. "YOU HAD BETTER HOPE THAT SHE IS OKAY, OR SO HELP ME, THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO FIND YOUR BODY WHEN I'M DONE WITH YOU!" As Miroku neared closer to Koga, he started scrambling, making failing attempts to stand to flee from the deranged monk.

With Sango

Even though she expected to be somewhere other than where she started, it just wasn't so. But, she had gained a throbbing pain in her right ankle and a swollen wrist from when she hit it on the well. She heard someone yelling from the top of the well that sounded like Miroku, but he was furious, which wasn't like Miroku. 'Why would Miroku be yelling?' She started to listen in and blushed when she understood. 'He's…he's yelling about what Koga did to me! He…he's furious over me!'

Back at the fight

Koga scrambled to his feet, and backed into a tree, 'How was a human driving such fear into a full blooded youkai?' He just sat there, gaping at the monk who continuously edged closer to him.

"WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF, YOU WORTHLESS YOUKAI! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW! YOU MAY HAVE JUST KILLED A WOMAN! A WOMAN I LOVE! DO YOU FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOURSELF! DO FEEL EMPOWERED KNOWING AN INNOCENT WOMAN MIGHT BE DEAD BECAUSE YOU ARE A USELESS, STUPID DEMON THAT DIDN'T TAKE THE TIME TO THINK THAT THE ONLY THING SHE MIGHT BE GUILTY OF IS LOOKING AFTER HER FRIENDS!" Miroku's fist met Koga's head again, causing Koga to stumble and fall onto the ground. "LEAVE, THERE'S NOTHING MORE YOU CAN DO HERE, UNLESS YOU WISH TO RUIN MY LIFE FURTHER, BUT I WOULDN'T TRY THAT, THERE'S NO TELLING WHAT I'LL DO TO YOU, YOU'RE LUCKY I'M ONLY YELLING AT YOU!" Koga wasn't stupid (yeah right); he did what he was advised to do and took of in a fierce tornado, heading to anywhere but there. Miroku sunk to the bottom of the tree with his head in his hands. Shippo refused to go over to him, so he decided to look in the well. There he found a very stunned Sango who decided to wave up at him like a moron.

"Miroku! Sango's okay! She's in the well!" Miroku rose and flew over to the well; he looked in beaming, tears in his eyes.

"S-SANGO! You-you're okay!" He looked so happy she decided to not tell him about her injuries, but he was too observant. "You-You're hurt?" He turned around and glared in the direction Koga took off in "Damn, bastard, wolf."

Shippo and Sango looked at Miroku in shock, very rarely did he ever swear. "Um… I don't mean to be annoying, but can you get me out of here?" Sango waved up at them again.

"OHH, I'm sorry, Sango! Shippo, go back to Kaede's and get some rope and Kirara!" With that, Shippo took off with his inhuman speed back to find some rope. "You're not in too much pain are you?" His eyes were full of concern for her.

"Um, no… why were you yelling? And so angrily? You almost sounded like Inuyasha."

"Oh, sorry." His face was unaffected. No blush or anything, but he looked down at her with love in his eyes. "I thought I had lost you, and if I lost you, I've lost myself."

She smiled brightly up at him. He turned to see if Shippo had returned yet. "Miroku…?"

"Yes? What is it?" He looked at her with concern.

"I love you, too."

With Inuyasha and Kagome

Mrs. Higurashi had arrived about an hour ago to find Inuyasha in a coma-like sleep and Kagome watching him with lust-filled eyes. She smiled and took another picture. That caught Kagome's attention.

"HEY!" Kagome sent a mild glare towards her.

"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It was a cute picture. I suppose you'll want a copy of the two most recent ones that I have taken, am I correct?" She sat on the bed beside her daughter.

"Yeah." She smiled and looked over at her.

"How did you get Inuyasha to sleep?" she looked over at the young hanyou giggling, he looked so cute asleep.

"The doctor gave him a mild sedative because he refused to sleep." Kagome had felt bad about what she had done, but it was necessary.

"I would have done the same, but I knew he would kill me if I did it before you had woken up." She looked over to him and smiled. "You know, he really does care for you. He was an empty husk without you. He showed emotions that I didn't think possible of him…it scared me that he was so lost without you and that we might have lost you. I didn't know what to do for him, he was inconsolable." She sent him a pity-filled look.

Kagome gaped her mother; she was a strong woman, it took a lot to scare her. She knew Inuyasha had cried, he had done that once before in front of her, but if how he was acting managed to scare her mother, he must have been so lost and depressed. "I want to borrow your camera when I leave again, if that's okay…?"

"That's fine, but due to your past record with things in feudal Japan, I think I'll buy you a couple of disposable cameras." She cocked an eyebrow when she looked at her daughter.

She smiled back and nodded. "Sounds great! I just want it so I can take some pictures of Sango, Miroku and Shippo. Plus, I need to get some pictures of Kirara, a better one of Inuyasha, and one of Kaede." She nodded to herself, making sure she got everyone. "Maybe Koga if he turns up; knowing him, he will." Inuyasha growled at the mention of Koga's name, he hated him even in his sleep. This alarmed Mrs. Higurashi.

"Who is he, this "Koga" fellow? Why does Inuyasha hate him so much?"

"This is a long story, Mama. So, be prepared to take notes!" She added sarcastically, beaming. "Alright. After we met Miroku, Sango and Shippo, and after Inuyasha had recently had a battle with his brother, Sesshomaru, Shippo and I were kidnapped by a wolf demon. He claimed me as his mate, which instantly angered Inuyasha. Once Inuyasha had saved me, he and Inuyasha had a fight. Well, they have had many more fights since then, each time: Koga claims me and they try to kill eachother, and each time Inuyasha comes out on top and Koga flees. But, Koga has a female wolf demon in love with him, named Ayame. But, he refuses to be with her because he is "in love" with me, mostly because I can sense the jewel shards." Kagome thought for a minute, then nodded. "That's it." She looked at her mother to find her staring at her blankly. "Do you want me to start over?"

Mrs. Higurashi waved her hands in front of her, "NO!...no, dear, I get it." She smiled lightly. "No, I get it! Thanks for explaining it to me." She smiled brightly.

In Feudal Japan, later that night

Shippo had already curled up and fallen asleep with Kirara, leaving Miroku and Sango to talk with out having to baby-sit the small kit. Kaede had bandaged up Sango's injuries after Miroku had carried her back to the village. They currently sat next to eachother, watching the fire in silence. Not awkward silence, but rather pleasant and comforting silence. Sango had been watching him for some time, he could sense it. She wasn't judging him, or glaring, but she was watching him, she seemed to be trying to ask him something or trying to figure something out for herself.

He turned to see her turn away quickly with a blush evident on her cheeks. "What is it?" His tone was sweet, but oddly curious, it had no evidence in it that it belonged to a lecher. "You've been watching me for a while. It doesn't bother me…but is there something wrong?"

She sighed deeply, seeming to be letting out the built up pressure that had built up during the course of the day. "It's just…" she sighed again, seeming to not be able to get out what she had wanted to say.

He edged closer to her, being careful of her injuries, and put a supportive arm around her shoulders, holding her as close as possible. "What is it?" He pressed but not enough to make her uncomfortable.

She pulled him closer; she clung to him as if her life depended on it. She sobbed into his shoulder, forgetting everything about her injuries, she couldn't feel pain right now anyways, she was too wrapped up in her emotions. "I-I thought I was going to die! B-but the only thing I could thing about was you! I-I didn't want Koga to hurt you! I-I wanted to see you again, I wanted to hold you like this! Miroku… I-I love you so much, all I want is to be with you!"

All he could do was look down at her. He smiled and held her tighter to him. "Sango, I couldn't imagine life without you and I don't want to. You're all I have. I would die for you. I…I lost all control when I though Koga had killed you, the only thing I could think about was killing the man that had done anything to you. I don't want to be separated from you, I love you." He kissed her head softly. They remained holding eachother for a while. When they turned in for the night, Miroku was asleep in the corner and Sango was asleep leaning against his chest, with his arm around her shoulders.

In The Hospital

Mrs. Higurashi left at eight-ish, leaving Kagome alone with the sleeping hanyou. The nurses came in periodically to check on Kagome and talk to her about Inuyasha. They all thought he was cute and it was cute how he wouldn't sleep until she woke up. One nurse called all the other nurses in so they could all talk with her. She told them she was tired, once they left she locked the door, knowing the doctor had a key and told her she could lock the door if the nurses became too unbearable…he didn't seem to like them either. She was watching Inuyasha sleep, enjoying his silent company, some-what wishing he would wake up so they could talk a little more with out getting interrupted, she knew the doctor had left to go home. The hanyou started to stir a little, freaking Kagome out, she immeadiatly moved her gaze toward something else, sadly there was nothing relatively interesting, so she grabbed the magazine her mother had left her.

Inuyasha rose with his hand one his head. "W-What happened?" He stretched, yawned, rubbed his eyes, and turned to look at Kagome, who waved to him sweetly.

"Morning, sunshine!" She looked at her watch, "Well, happy evening, moonbeam!" It was all she could think up, the girl magazine was rotting her mind.

"The last thing I remember was being sent out into the hallway so the doctor could take out your stitches, but it looks like I fell asleep, sorry."

"Don't worry, nothing happened. My mom stopped by a couple of hours ago, the nurses came in to annoy me, and the doctor said could we could leave Saturday." She smiled; she knew the last one would get his attention.

"Really! That's great, so we only have to stay here one more day, excellent." He beamed and moved over to her bad to sit with her. "You should sleep, you know. I'll watch things from here."

"Naw, if anything, you should sleep, as well. It'll do you good; you still look like you could use it." She patted his thigh.

He cocked an eyebrow and smirked mischievously. "Only if I can sleep with you."

"Deal!" she smiled and moved over so he could fit.
