Chapter 38: You're safe now.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha!
Beep.
Hungry.
Beep.
So hungry.
Beep.
When was the last time I ate?
Beep.
Grr.. Would someone turn off that damn beeping!?
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
*Sigh* Ugh! Why do I hurt this bad!? Was I in an accident? I can't move. Why can't I move?
Beep.
"When will she wake up? It's been three in a half weeks!" A voice growled.
Who is that? His voice sounds so far away. He sounds so familiar, but, I can't put a face with the name.
"She used almost all of her energy. She is very lucky she's even still alive. All of her tests are starting to even out so that's a good thing. She should wake up very soon." An unfamiliar voice explained.
Almost all of her energy? Lucky to still be alive? Where they talking about me? What happened? I-I can't remember. *Sigh* I'm so hungry. Who's growling?
"Inuyasha, dear, please calm down. She'll be awake soon I just know it."
Inuyasha? Oh, That's who the voice belonged to.
Inuyasha watched as the doctor lifted Kagome's arm to take her blood pressure and noticed her finger twitch. Before she didn't move at all, so maybe the doctor and his mom was right and she will wake up soon.
Ahh! Who's moving me!? Stop it! It hurts so bad! Why can't I open my eyes!? Why can't I tell them to stop!?
Everyone gasped when they heard Kagome groan. "Ow... Please... Stop... It... Hurts." She moaned.
The doctor immediately gently put Kagome's arm down and motioned for Inuyasha to speak to her.
"Kagome? Can you hear me?" Inuyasha whispered in her ear.
"N'Yasha? Please... Make... It... Stop... It... Hurts."
Iziyou and Sango released choked sobs as Rin buried her face in Sesshomaru's chest.
"I know, baby, but just hold on. They have to take your vitals, they'll be done soon." Inuyasha said while brushing her bangs out of her face.
"No... Please."
"Kagome, can you open your eyes." The unfamiliar voice said.
"Trying... Heavy."
"That's okay. Just rest and I'll go get some pain medicine, I'll take your vitals when the pain meds take effect."
"O..kay."
"It's been two days since Kagome has said or done anything. What if-what if she-"
"Inuyasha, son. She'll be okay. The doctor said all her tests and vitals gets better everyday. It's only a matter of time before she wakes up." Taisho reassured.
Inuyasha sighed sitting in the chair beside Kagome's bed taking her hand into his. Please Kagome, wake up.
Kagome opened her eyes, looked around and saw that she was chained up hanging above the ground. Panicking she started to tug on the chains trying to get free. Evil laughter filled the air and her blood froze in her veins.
"You look hungry. Go on and eat."
Kagome looked around trying to find where the voice was coming from when a table full of food appeared in front of her. Her stomach growled as she stopped trying to get free. The chains disappeared from her hands dropping her to the ground only for chains to appear around her ankles as soon as her feet hit the ground.
"Eat. Eat." The voice laughed.
Kagome reached out to grab the food only to find it was just out of her reach. Crying out in despair, damn it, she was fucking hungry! She reached out again getting more and more desperate to reach the delicious looking food that was just out of her reach.
Laughter rent the room making her stop. "I guess you're not that hungry yet. We'll try again later."
Kagome cried out as she watched the table slowly disappear. She was jerked up again, the chains around her ankles disappearing while the chains around her wrists reappeared again.
Kagome cried out in alarm as she watch burn after burn-cut after cut-appear on her body. Where the hell did her shirt go!? Before she could even start to look around to see where her shirt had went, a painful squeeze to her breast made her scream in pain and surprise. There wasn't anyone here! What the hell was going on!?
"Hey, did daddy's girl miss me?"
Kagome gasped in fear and looked frantically around to see if she could see the monster that started this whole shit show. Seeing no one but still hearing the voices, she felt her sanity slip as she cried out feeling completely crazy. How could she hear voices and feel hands on her when no one was there with her?
Kagome screamed out in alarm and fear when Naraku's red eyes was in front of her face. "Do you think you can get rid of me that easily? On no, my dear, I'll stay with you to torment you in your dreams as well as your beloved father." An evil twisted smile crept across his face.
"Sweet dreams, my dear Kagome." Kagome heard her father's voice right behind her.
Kagome shot up in bed screaming, waking everyone up, and Inuyasha jumped up from the chair he was sitting in and rushed to her side. "Kagome? Baby, please calm down. You're safe here, no one is going to hurt you."
"No! They're here! Can't you see them!?" Kagome swung her fist and connected with Inuyasha's jaw. "Please! Stop, leave me alone!" She kicked her legs and swung her fist-making the I.V. that was in her arm rip out, busting her vein.
Iziyoi shot to her feet and pressed the button that calls the nurse into the room.
Inuyasha was finally able to grab ahold of Kagome and bring her into a hug. She still fought, but, couldn't do much with her arms pinned under his. After about five minutes Inuyasha felt Kagome slowly start to relax and her heart rate return to a normal pace. He felt her arms wrap around his waist and her nails dig into his back.
"I-Inuyasha? Is it really you?" Kagome whispered.
Inuyasha pulled back just enough to look at her face while still keeping her in his arms. "Yes, baby, it's really me."
Kagome choked out a sob and tightened her grip. "Oh, Inuyasha! I was so scared!"
"I know, Kagome. Your safe now, I've got you. I swear it, Kagome, I know I wasn't there to protect you the last time, and I am so-so sorry! I swear that nothing is ever going to hurt you ever again!"
Kagome didn't say anything, choosing to only nod into his chest. "So how bad am I?" Now that her adrenaline was wearing off she was able to feel all of her aches and pains.
Inuyasha sighed and pulled away giving her a kiss on her forehead. "You have eight broken ribs, you had to have over a hundred stiches to close up all the cuts, you were severely dehydrated and starved and you almost killed yourself by using way to much of your energy. You were unconscious for a whole month! You scared the hell out of me, woman."
Kagome looked down and bit her lip. "I'm sorry."
"No, don't you dare apologize."
Kagome sighed and nodded as she watched the doctor enter the room.
Please review. Until next time, bye.
