Silence stood in the room for the longest time. Inuyasha held the phone to his ear with his jaw dropped.
"Inuyasha? Are you there?" Dr. Higurashi asked in an insecure voice. You could tell she had been crying earlier.
Inuyasha shook himself and soon began to stutter in reply. "Y-yea…I'm here. W-what happened?"
"Kagome was in a car accident. She's in a coma…" Dr. Higurashi soon busted out in tears as Inuyasha stood jaw dropped. "N-no…not again…" Inuyasha said in almost a whisper. Kagome's mom sniffled as she tried to regain control. "The doctor took her in for a C.A.T. scan and he says she has high brain activity. He says she could come out of it any minute, but she hasn't yet. He said to be patient.
'The same thing that happened to Kikyo is happening to Kagome! What's wrong with me? Why does this have to happen?' Inuyasha soon began to cry. He dropped his skateboard and fell to the ground.
"Why is this happening?" Inuyasha asked.
"Inuyasha, I have to go now. Please come visit Kagome," Dr. Higurashi hung up the phone but Inuyasha could somehow still hear her sobs. Inuyasha bawled to the floor. His tears stained the carpet. "Kagome…Kagome…." Inuyasha mumbled her name continuously.
"Inuyasha! Inuyasha!" His mother called running down the hallway. She turned to see her seventeen year old son crying on the floor as if he was still a little boy. His mother crouched down next to him slowly placing her hands on his shoulder. "Sweetie, what's wrong?"
"Kagome…Kagome is in…the hospital…"Inuyasha said in between sobs. "She's in…a coma. I have to see her,"
She cooed him and cradled him. "Shhh…my son. Would you like to go see her now?"
Inuyasha didn't even look up at his mom. All he did was nod. He was being so child-like right then, but he didn't care. He needed someone to hold him. So many people had left his life and he somehow found a way to love again. It's an amazing gift to be able to love once again, but Inuyasha didn't think he could handle it twice in a row.
There was a white room. A single bed sat against the wall. Machines were hooked up to the lifeless doll. Scrapes and bruises masked her cheeks and chin. Her skin was pale as if her soul was exiting very slowly out her body. A woman sat in a chair next to the girl. She cried in her hands and praying her daughter would wake at any moment. Every time she looked up to her daughter, disappointment struck her face as she quietly sobbed some more. A young boy laid his face on his elder sister's hand crying and begging through his tears for her to wake. "Wake up….wake up, sis…"
Suddenly, a soft knock at the door came and soon the door creaked opened to show a young scarred boy standing in the doorway. His eyes were red from crying, but seeing her in that bed hooked to so many machines made them come back. A tear rolled down his cheek as he walked closer to his pale love. He stood next her. Staring down at her emotionless body. It reminded him so much of Kagome.
"Inuyasha, if it brings back too much pain you can leave," Dr. Higurashi stated in her tears. Inuyasha didn't even look at his doctor. He just shook his head and grabbed his loves hand reassuringly.
"She's a strong girl. She'll wake…I know it," Inuyasha said painfully. They all nodded and continue to stare at the girl.
