Hello!
Ok, so I noticed that some of my stories are gone, and well the only explanation I have is that my demon children got into my computer and started to hit random things... Sorry, everyone!
Thank you for your reviews!
Keep'em coming!
Chapter 4: Waking up
She was warm, or well at least her face was warm it caused her body to shift slightly the feeling of something heavy on her body. Slowly her eyes blinked open in rapid succession, trying to adjust to the light that filled the room, everything hurt in that instant. Mind aware of all the pain her body was in as well as the distinct smell of disinfecting that came with hospitals and their care for infection freeness. Was that where she was? In a hospital room, had she somehow managed to survive that attack; shifting slightly she let out a small yelp of pain as it seared across her chest and made her oh so aware of how much damage had been truly done. Inhaling sharply the woman glanced around the room and took note of how basic it truly was, it also didn't support her weapon, whoever saved her had taken it away it would seem. The clicking sound of the door opening caused Kagome to shift slightly, watching a figure move into the room. Blue eye's blinked in surprise at the male before her, his smile and that look in those dark eyes hadn't changed in the time they were apart. "Jiraiya, you got old!" Kagome teased the male watching his face fall at the insult she had just given him.
"That was harsh! And here I was gonna give you a compliment and say you didn't age one bit you old bat!" the male stated while crossing his arms over his chest and eyeing the girl on the bed, he had been lucky enough to be in Tsunade's office when the jewel had been laid on her desk, never in his life had he thought about seeing that trouble magnet again. And after explaining all he knew about it, she had given him the permission needed to see the woman who was found with it, but he hadn't expected to see Kagome in the state that she was in. It was like she hadn't aged a day in her life, maybe she was a little wiser in the eyes than the last time he had seen her but that might of been it, she was still the beauty she had been all those years ago.
"I'm not old you idiot!" she replied in a snippy tone before hunching over in pain as her chest protested the loud tone she had used, in that moment Jiraiya noticed how serious her condition truly was. Moving over to a chair he sat down and waited for her to lay back down on the bed, watching the bandage on her chest start to turn red with blood he would have to alert one of the medical staff to check it. "There you are pervy sage, been looking all over for you!" A new voice broke the silence of the room and caused Jiraiya to turn his head and look at the blonde boy. "Not now Naruto! Don't you know it is not polite to yell in a hospital, where are your manners at?" he snapped at the boy standing in the doorway a pink haired girl at his side fuming. "Hush both of you before you wake the whole hospital up!" Sakura growled before hitting Naruto on the head causing a lump to form on the poor boy's head. A soft laughter caused their eyes to shift to the bed where Kagome lay, blue eyes bright with laughter as she heard the commotion. "Hey, Sakura do you think you can change these bandages for me?" Jiraiya asked Tsunade's student who stopped her fuming long enough to enter the room and look at the girl on the bed, she smiled at the woman but noticed the bleeding. "Sure, no problem! You will have to leave the room!" There was tick of the eyebrow at the sigh he made that caused the pink haired girl turn those furious eyes to the older man.
"Get outta here you sick pervert!" She bellowed while chunking the male out the door and right into the recovering Naruto, slamming the door in their face as the laughter of the woman rang in the open air.
