Time had past and soon it was late. They were all in the same place they started watching the young girl. Suddenly, Dr. Higurashi looked up to her patient.
"Inuyasha, it's late. Why don't you go home?" Dr. Higurashi.
Inuyasha sighed of disappointment as he got up from his knees. He turned to his doctor. "Are you sure?"
Kagome's mom nodded as he got up to place her hands on his shoulders. "Inuyasha, this must be really hard for you, but as your doctor, I request that you go home and sleep. Please, Inuyasha, take a rest,"
Inuyasha nodded and quietly left the room. He soon got home and crashed on his bed. He began to sniffle in his pillow as he cried himself to sleep.
The day at school was horrible. Everyone somehow heard what happened and started to whisper as Inuyasha passed down the halls. Inuyasha had no emotion that day and he didn't care what anyone said. All he was waiting for was school to end so he could visit Kagome.
"Did you hear what happened?" A girl asked her friend in a whisper as Inuyasha passed.
"Yeah…two times in a row is a little suspicious…" Her friend whispered back.
"I bet he did it on purpose…" Another girl piped up. "That sick-o…"
Inuyasha could here their conversation and he wasn't stupid. Suddenly, Inuyasha stopped in his tracks and turned around to the girls who were talking about him in the hallway. "Believe what you want, I really don't care. All I know is what happened was horrible and instead of making up rumors, why don't you go visit Kagome in the hospital?" Inuyasha frowned at them for a brief moment and turned back around to his next class.
The day passed by and Inuyasha soon got home and suddenly his cell phone rang and Inuyasha picked it up sadly knowing it wasn't going to be Kagome. "Hello?" He asked.
"Inuyasha?" A familiar voice asked. "Hey, it's Miroku,"
"Oh, hi," Inuyasha spoke blankly.
"Hey, wanna meet up some place?" Miroku asked in a chipper voice. Inuyasha thought to himself. Maybe he should get out and get his mind off of things.
"Sure. I'll meet you at Denny's. I need to talk to you," Inuyasha said with an emotionless voice.
"Ok sure," Miroku said a little confused. "I'll meet you there now. See you in a bit,"
"Alright, bye," Inuyasha said.
"Bye" Miroku said as he hung up.
Inuyasha said bye to and hung up as well. Inuyasha walked into the living room.
He put on hid shoes and left for Denny's.
Miroku smiled and chucked a French fry I his mouth as Inuyasha sipped at his Coke quietly. Miroku looked up at his best friend sadly.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Miroku finally asked. Inuyasha looked up at his friend. "You said you needed to talk to me,"
Inuyasha pulled away from the straw of his drink and looked up to his friend. "You see, well, Kagome…sh-she was in an accident,"
"Oh God, is she alright?" Miroku asked shocked.
Inuyasha turned away slightly. "She's in a coma. The doctors say she could come out of it, but he has no exact time." Inuyasha tried so hard to keep the tears from coming so he sounded strange in between his soft sniffles. Miroku didn't say anything. Inuyasha continued. "Am I not suppose to be with the people I love? Is that why this always happens? I love Kagome. You know that right? When I first met her, I tried my best to push her away, but she kept coming back. Soon, I started to fall in love and there was nothing I could do to stop it. I had a hard time trusting people after Kikyo passed away, but Kagome always wanted to help. She always wanted to help me and my problems," Inuyasha glanced up to his friend who sincere look never faded from his face. Inuyasha continued. "I wish I knew…"
"Knew what?" Miroku asked.
"I wish I knew about Kagome more. I was being selfish. I was taking in all her help and support that I didn't even bother to ask her if there was anything bothering her. Kagome has a chance of not coming out of this and I wish I knew more about the woman I love before she passes!"
Miroku stared at his friend who was beginning to cry.
"This is all my fault," Inuyasha mumbled in between his sobs.
"No, this isn't your fault. You did nothing wrong," Miroku said to calm his friend. Inuyasha wiped his tears with his scarred arm. He looked up at his friend. "Thank you, Miroku. You've helped me through so much."
"Inuyasha, you know Kagome. Just have faith in her return. Don't let her go," Inuyasha suddenly looked up from Miroku's last words.
"Don't let her go," Inuyasha repeated to himself. "And I won't,"
"Oh, hello Inuyasha," Dr. Higurashi said from her chair in the hospital room.
"Hi, how's she doing?" Inuyasha asked.
Dr. Higurashi made a small smile. "Better. The scratches on her face are healing,"
"That's good," Inuyasha replied walking over to sleeping Kagome.
Hours had passed and there was still no sign of Kagome returning. Inuyasha sat there eager and yet disappointed. He was so excited to see Kagome wake in the next second, but when that second came pain struck him. Inuyasha ran his fingers through Kagome's silk-like hair. Inuyasha sighed. "What do I have to do? What do I have to sacrifice for you're return?" A single tear rolled down his cheek. He cried most of them out long ago. Dr. Higurashi and her son went to go speak with the doctor a little bit ago and Inuyasha all alone with the lifeless doll hooked to all the machines. It made him sick to see her like this. Chained up to these machines like she was nothing and was only being kept alive.
Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's tensionless hand softly and began to speak quietly. "Hi Sweetie," Inuyasha smiled as if he was talking to her in her sleep. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for always pushing you away and then I pull you back so I could cry on your shoulder, but I love you more than anything in the world. And if you could just wake up right now…" Inuyasha paused. "Am I not meant to love?" Inuyasha asked himself. He looked to the girl with a sad and tired look on his face. "Why I can't I be with the person I love!" Inuyasha yelled as tears flew from his eyes. It was bad enough he had to go through this once, but twice? It was way too much for him to take. After Inuyasha's father died when he was five, Inuyasha always seemed shy and dull. He never wanted to be included in anything until he met Kikyo and fell in love, but when she died, the same thing happened. He didn't want to get involved with love anymore. He couldn't handle the heartbreak. When Kagome came, he stuck to that, but she kept trying and trying and ultimately, Inuyasha fell in love.
Inuyasha thought back to all there memories and the double date with Miroku and his girlfriend popped up. He soon remembered what Miroku said.
"Don't let her go…"Inuyasha said quietly. "I'll never let go…I love Kagome and I'll stay with her," Inuyasha began to squeeze Kagome's hand. Suddenly, a small noise came from the doll's mouth.
"…ow…" Kagome said quietly with her eyes still closed.
Inuyasha gasped and jumped. "Ka-Kagome?" Inuyasha asked in a weak and tired voice. The lifeless doll wiggled her fingers in his hand and soon she opened her round eyes.
"Inuyasha? Wha-wha…" Kagome tried to speak but she was very weak.
"KAGOME!" He said as he through himself into her for a hug.
"Inuyasha, what's wrong? I was going to come see you…Why can't I remember anything?"
"Oh God, Kagome. Don't ever scare me like that again! Ever!" Tears rolled down his eyes which were full of joy and relief. He began to sob. "I'm so glad you're back!"
"What happened?" Kagome asked in a frail voice. Her hands were too weak to stroke his back as he hugged her.
"You were in a car wreak and you were in a coma, but you came back out in a day! I've never been so happy in my life!" Inuyasha said happily as he sniffled.
"My-my head hurts," Kagome said weakly.
"I know, baby. I know. You're going to be ok now," Inuyasha said as he kissed her cheek ever so gently.
