Chapter 53 – Love for him and her

They were on their way to the central hospital. Nobody said a word all the way. When they finally arrived there, they parked the car and walked in. Yes, the lady in the info said their father was still in the ICU.

As they walked towards it, the men could see Inuyasha shake a bit.

"It's okay, buddy", Mitsuhiro said and pet the boy's shoulder. "He is taken good care of here. Remember when Jakotsu did this?" he pointed at the long scar going from his collarbone to the cheek. "I almost died, but I got all better here."

They walked in... And, like last time, Inuyasha dashed away, behind one curtain. Both men sighed and followed him.

They peeked from behind the curtain... Inuyasha was sitting on a chair beside his father's bed, holding his head against his chest.

"I'll get two more chairs", Mitsuhiro said quietly and left. Sesshomaru looked him go, then turned towards his brother. He had never seen him This emotional.

As Mitsuhiro returned with the chairs, the men sat down. Inuyasha was laying on his dad's chest, whimpering. And time went by. Nothing happened... When suddenly the dog brothers flinched – they started hearing loud beating.

"Nur-!" Sesshomaru was about to shout, but Mitsuhiro calmed him down.

"Calm down, the beeping comes from the bed next to us."

"Thank God..." Sesshomaru sighed and leaned towards the chair's back.

Two hours went by. Finally Mitsuhiro looked at his watch.

"What do you say if we'd go to the canteen? I'ts Inuyasha's medicine time, and I think a little break would be good."

"... Mmh", Sesshomaru nodded. The men got up from their chairs, but Inuyasha didn't move and inch. Sesshomaru greabbed his arm and dragged his after him. Inuyasha didn't really object.

And so the trio got to the canteen. The men took salmon sandwiches with coffee... And it was quite obvious what Inuyasha took – Mountain Dew, but he didn't want to eat anything right now. The men didn't want to force him now. Just let him do as he feels the easiest..

"Okay, here you go", Mitsuhiro said as the handed two pills to the boy. He swallowed them smoothly.

They didn't hesitate eating, but suddenly Sesshomaru's phone started ringing. He took it from his pocket... He looked at the screen...

"It's from the ICU. Father has waken up."

They got on their right away, Inuyasha leading the way. As the adults didn't keep up with him, he looked over his shoulder and started growling loud, baring his fangs.

"Stop growling. He will be waiting for us right at the same spot, no matter do we get there in two or 40 minutes."
Inuyasha stared at his brother, and stopped growling. His ears went drooping. Sesshomaru nodded.

They got to the ICU's door. Inuyasha stopped in front of it. What, he didn't want to open it, be the first? Okay, Sesshomaru opened it, and they stepped inside.

Inuyasha's heart started pounding as they walked through the ICU. And it started pounding harder step by step... When finally, he saw him... His father. Laying on the bed, eyes closed, still in tubes... Except for the ventilator. This made Inuyasha's eyes widen. Are they sure he's awake?

Then Mitsuhiro and Sesshomaru peeked in. They stared at the dog-demon.. He still seemed to be unconcious, when suddenly...

He opened his eyes.

Everyone flinched and Inuyasha's ears shot up. He started whimpering and could you say 'attacked' his father, hugging him tight, licking his cheek.

"Inuyasha! Stop that right n-!" Sesshomaru was about to shout. But Inutaisho only hushed. Slowly, weak, he raised his hand and started stroking his son's head.

"I'm so glad to see you, my sons", he said. Inuyasha stared at him. Sesshomaru pressed one button in a remote controller, making the bed's back rise slowly.

"How are you feeling? Do you know why and where you are?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Oh yes, the nurses told me before calling you. I had a heart-attack, and I'm ICU..."

Inuyasha whimpered.

"Oh son, my son, it's alright. The worst is over, I'll be out of here in a few days. But what about you? How come you're here?" he wondered, staring at Mitsuhiro, standing at the ending of the bed.

"I consulated the doctor back at Kuroshima. As Inuyasha has been maybe a bit better for a few days, she agreed to let him come here with me."

"Oh..." Inutaisho smiled warm at his lastborn and pet his shoulder. The boy bumped his forehead against his fathe'r chest and sighed. They are all so happy that everything was alright.

Now that things had worked out, Mitsuhiro decided that they would return to Kuroshima. And unlike you may think, Inuyasha didn't really object. He was very tired of this. And so, they drove Sesshomaru to their apartment house and carried on their way back to Kuroshima.

"Listen, buddy", Mitsuhiro smiled as they drove the highway. "I'm very proud of you. It must be very hard to you seeing your dearest person dying... But you made it. You did it."

They were back at Kuroshima at maybe 6 PM. As Inuyasha stepped in from the main doors, he looked around, a bit lost. It felt like he had been gone for a long while.

"Would you like some dinner? They had left you some leftovers", Mitsuhiro said. No answer. "Okay. Let me know if you change your mind."

Inuyasha looked all around him. He felt uneasy. He couldn't find Kagome. Well, at least he couldn't track her scent in the 'patient corridor'. Then suddenly he saw Sango, walking towards him, looking even more apathetic than usually.

"Oh Inuyasha..." she sighed. Inuyasha twitched his ears. "Listen, you should know that..."

Now Inuyasha knew something was wrong. He dashed away, leaving Sango behind. She sighed again.

Inuyasha ran all the way through the big ward, but just when he was about to pass the office, he heard something horrible:

"What?! Kagome, in a straitjacket?!" he heard Mitsuhiro shout out.

"Oh yes, I'm afraid..." Kaede shook her head. "In the second isolation room."

Inuyasha got on his way right away. As he got closer to the isolation corridor, he did start smelling her scent stronger by the step. Then, at the isolation room two's door, Inuyasha started pounding and kicking the door.

Kagome was currently living in her 'bad-mode'. She had attacked nurses in the morning with a chair, and now she was sitting on the mattress on the isolation room's floor, strapped in a straitjacket. She didn't answer the boy at all. But Inuyasha didn't stop kicking and pounding. Then finally Kagome did someting nobody would guess:

"FUCK OFF!" she shouted so loud it sounded all the way to the office.

"F... F-O?" Inuyasha mumbled his eyes wide. "F-O!" he shouted.

Then Mitsuhiro and Kaede jogged to them. They stared at each other.

"What should we do?" Kaede whispered in the man's ear. He wondered for a while, when he finally snapped his fingers. He had an idea!

The idea was this:

Mitsuhiro opened the room's door, and before pushing the boy in, he said: "Get her back to her own self. We know you can do it."

And so, Inuyasha was pushed into the dark, concrete room, with nothing else than a mattress with blanket and a pillow... But if there was something that Kagome was embarrassed of right now was this: usually, when someone was in isolation, they had a plastic pot and some toilet paper, but when with straitjacket, wiping wouldn't work out... And that meant, that the patient needed to wear diapers. Kagome maybe was extremely embarrassed of it, but oh well, Inuyasha didn't mind.

Well, the room's door was slammed closed. Inuyasha looked around the room. He sure knew this room. He walked on the other side of the room and placed his hand against the scratches on the walls. He had made them.

Kagome followed the boy with her eyes. Angry eyes. Then Inuyasha stopped and turned towards the girl. He sat down on all fours right in front of the girl, who sat on her knees. They both looked like they could kill each other.

"WHAT'S YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM?!" Kagome shouted. Inuyasha opened his mouth as wide as possible, showing his sharp fangs, growling. He started crawling closer and closer to the girl.

"BACK OFF YOU LUNATIC!"

But no, Inuyasha just sat down right in front of her, so close that Inuyasha's shins touched her knees. For a while they only stared at each other, when suddenly Inuyasha grabbed her hair and pulled it.

"STOP IT!"

Yes, Inuyasha stopped it, but placed his both hands on her shoulders. He stared in her eyes, not moving an inch. Then something happened.

Kagome burst in tears. Big time.

"Sorry... Sorry Inuyasha... Sorry!" She leaned against Inuyasha's chest. First he did nothing, but finally leaned his chin against the girls head.
