Chapter 9: Hope or Despair?

It had been two weeks since Kagome had fallen into a coma. Everyone in her family, came and visited her, Inuyasha never once left her side. Sesshomaru and Inutashio were getting ready to have a press conference, to update all of her worried fans, on her condition.

Sesshomaru walked up to the podium and the media fired away with questions, the press conference was being held in front of the hospital, but away from the emergency entrances, in case the ambulances' needed to come through.

Sesshomaru cleared his throat and began talking, "Good Afternoon everyone, Thank you for taking your time out to come and support Kagome in recovery, as you all know, two weeks ago, My Sister-in-law, Kagome Takahashi was hospitalized. I'm sure you are all wondering why. That is why I am here today; to give you all a bit of a breather. Kagome was indeed hospitalized, she was having added pressure for reasons unknown and she fell into a depressed state, she was taking so much, at so little time, it was only a matter of time, until she collapsed. Now, she has fallen into a Coma. For her Fans, We appreciate all the gifts sent, she will love them when she awakens. While she is in this hospital, we ask you guys to please continue to have her in your prayers, and to hope she awakens soon. But, to not stand outside this hospital, there are other people in a much more critical condition and we want to maintain this hospital as calm as possible. So, we will give you all an Address at the end of this conference, so you may mail all of your cards, and we will be having a weekly meet for those of you wanting to give her a gift, rest assured, it will always be someone in the immediate family. So, she will get it."

Sesshomaru stopped, for a minute to let them inhale all of this information, and then continued, "Now my Father has a few words he'd like to say." Sesshomaru nodded his head and stepped down to allow his father to step up to the podium.

The Rest of the family was all in Kagome's room, watching the conference.

Inutashio stepped up, cleared his throat, and his deep voice resonated. "Good Afternoon Everyone, on Behalf of the Takahashi/Higurashi Family I thank you for coming here this afternoon. Kagome has been having a rough couple of months, but her stronghold, her source of happiness is always her Family, and her Fan base. Kagome loves to take the time to read all the emails from you all. She told me all the time, how she wished she could reply to each and every one of you. So, she says her 'thank you' when she prays before bed, or when she goes to church. She always has a shining smile on her face because of you, her fans, those that stick with her, through the good and the bad. Right now, she has showed me, that even in the darkest of times, we must look to the light, for there we will find what we seek. So, I promise, to keep you all updated on her condition, and in return, all I ask is to have her in your prayers. To Hope she wakes up, to make more music, so show us that life isn't as bad as it seems. Kagome is a lover, she never fights, she stands up for what she believes in. Thank you once again, for hearing us out again. We appreciate your time. Now, we must rejoin our family. Good Bye." Inutashio waved and walked off the podium, flashes from the cameras went off, as Sesshomaru and Inutashio walked back into the Hospital.

An Hour passed and everyone left, the hospital was clear of paparazzi, media vans, and Fans. Everyone in the hospital seemed to calm down more, the stress of intruders for info, or people trying to 'seek a peek' at Kagome, all stopped, understanding that the family needed space.

Once Sesshomaru and Inutashio walked back into Kagome's room, everyone left, except once again, Inuyasha. Sakura went with her Grandparents back to the hotel. Sango, Miroku, and Mika were sitting in the hotel room, and just finished watching the press conference.

Everyone was wondering if Kagome was going to wake up or not…

Meanwhile, Kikyo was getting ready for a press Conference of her own, Sango and were Miroku, were flipping through channels, when they saw her, so they wanted to hear what she was going to say.

"Good Evening, Ladies and Gentlemen, My Name is Kikyo Nakamura. I have a very important announcement to make, so get your recorders ready, and for those of you who watching TV, and know Inuyasha Takahashi, have him watch this. So, I will allow a moment to get everyone situated. So, Kikyo bowed her head with a smirk on her face, and waited.

Sango and Miroku quickly called Inutashio, and they put it on, as well as Sesshomaru and Rin. They decided it would be best if no one told Inuyasha, which was the last thing he needed. Izayoi called the hospital and told them to make sure no one told Inuyasha to put it on.

After 2 minutes, Kikyo stepped back up and glanced around, then started talking.
"As you may already know, Kagome Higurashi is in the hospital. Something that you didn't know was that Inuyasha Takahashi is giving a divorce from her; such fake loyalty to the woman, currently lying in a hospital bed. You see, Inuyasha and Kagome's Marriage has been on a thin line since she started traveling to New York. Inuyasha works in a firm in Japan, Kagome's music base/ job is here in Grand New York City. Something no one knew is that Inuyasha and I met up a couple of times, while said wife was away. He has gotten so drunk that we ended up sleeping together. Now, I am here to inform him, that I am with Child! Isn't that Fantastic? Inuyasha baby, once that slut wakes up, and signs those stupid papers, we'll be married together." Kikyo pulled out a sonogram picture. "I am currently 6 weeks and can't wait to have his baby. Because let's be honest, Sakura isn't that pretty at all. Once my baby is born he/she will everything the world will want to talk about! Congratulations Inutashio! You're going to be a Grandfather! Oh, and Mrs. Takahashi. Sorry I don't know your name, nor do I care. Well, that concludes all my business for tonight."

Kikyo stepped off the stage and walked into a black limo smiling at the chaos she just created… 'Inuyasha will be mine, one way for another Damnit!'

Everyone wanted to Kill Kikyo, and at the moment, Kagome's heartbeat started to fade once again….
