CHAPTER 16

"Kagome, I will be leaving you alone in the ward for awhile. I am going to buy breakfast. If anyone try to kill you or disturb you, scream." Sango did not expect to have a reply, took her wallet and dash out of the ward like a lightning. I hope Inuyasha will not scold me that I left Kagome alone in her ward.

After ten minutes or so, Sango came back with her breakfast in her hand. As Sango closed the door, she gasped for air. She put her breakfast on the side table and sat down. She checked to see if Kagome is still alive. Phew! If you die, I will be the next one to die too, by Inuyasha. I am not cursing you; I am just afraid Inuyasha would kill me.Sango noticed Kagome's injuries starting to heal.

You are starting to recover. I am so glad. We will be waiting for this day to come, especially Inuyasha, Sango thought, touching Kagome's wound, carefully not to touch so hard that it hurt her skin.

Sango took out her food and starting to consume the food. After consuming her food, she decided to ask the doctor about Kagome's condition. Within minutes, the doctor arrived. A nurse told Sango to wait outside while the doctor checked her.

Shortly after, the doctor came out.

"Doctor, how is she? When will she wake up?"

"Do not worry. Her condition is stable. Probably she will wake up a few days later." Her lips curved up into a smile. "Really?" The doctor just nodded his head. I am going to tell Inuyasha and Miroku this news, Sango thought as she opened the door to Kagome's ward happily.

Afternoon, at Kagome's ward,

"Hi, Sango!" Inuyasha and Miroku said. They had been dismissed from school and came to pay a visit. "Has she awakened?"

"No." Inuyasha put Sango's lunch on the table. "Eat when it is hot."

"What is this?"

Inuyasha and Miroku exchanged a look.

"Well, it is hand-made. Hope you would like it." Sango went to the table and opened the cover. Steam rose from the container gave out a pleasant aroma; it drifted to Sango's nose and she took in the scent.

"Indeed, it smells nice but I am not sure of the taste of the food," Sango said. "Don't mind if I dig in." One bite of the food makes Sango wanting to eat more of it. After she had finished eating, Sango cannot wait to find out who this chef is.

"Who cook this?"

"Like it?"

"Yeah. It is delicious."

"Then he shall cook everyday for you."

"Who?"

"It's a secret," Inuyasha said.

"Fine. I have a good new to share with you. Want to know?"

"Yes," Inuyasha said excitedly. "Is it about Kagome?"Sango nodded her head.

"The doctor checked her and said she will wake up a few days later," Sango said.

"That means I still can take care of her tomorrow?" Miroku asked.

Inuyasha ignored Miroku's question. "She will wake up? Did I hear wrongly?"

"No. You did not. And Kagome will wake in a few days' time," Miroku added.

"Thanks for accompanying me to my dormitory."

"It's nothing."

"I love you."

"Me too."

Kikyou closed the door behind him. Inuyasha ignoring Sesshoumaru. He must have figure out we are ganging up and trying to kill that girl. Will he continue to ignore us? Will he spread rumours about us attempting to kill that poor girl?

Those thoughts continued to occupy her mind as she looked out at the only window in her dormitory. Will we be friends again?

"I know I am in the wrong attempting to kill her. But I want Inuyasha to be with us. He will be popular again and not worry about others saying about him," Kikyou said to herself. "Now that Sesshoumaru loves me and so do I, I hope he will not be angry."

I do not have feelings for you now. You had changed ever since you mixed around with those bad girls of yours. Kikyou let out a soft laugh."Why must I worry that you would be angry? You do not have feelings for me."

"Those bad girls changed me? I think it is you who have changed. All right. I did change a bit, but not as worst as them. I did not want to change. I just want to be popular. Is that so much I could ask for?" A tear dropped from Kikyou's eye and she rubbed it.

Kikyou noticed Inuyasha and the perverted Miroku entering the dormitory front gate. They seem to be so happy. How Inuyasha would make such a friend? His friends should be Sesshoumaru and I. Why must he mix with that poor girl, rough Sango and pervert Miroku? I do not understand.

Kikyou caught Inuyasha's eye and turned around. How come you can spot me? Do I still have hope in being your friend? Kikyou walked away from the window before Miroku could even spot her.

"Bye, Sango," the boys said before leaving.

"I will come tomorrow morning to take over," Miroku said before closing the door. Inuyasha and Miroku exited the hospital and headed to the dormitory. Both of them did not say a word but they were very happy; Inuyasha was happy that Kagome would be recovering soon, and Miroku was happy because he would be with Kagome alone in the ward tomorrow.

"Why are you smiling?" Inuyasha asked, breaking the silence between them. He noticed Miroku was smiling to himself and wanted to know why.

"Nothing. Just happy and excited."

"Don't come up with any dirty ideas to disturb Kagome tomorrow," Inuyasha said with a laugh. Is he reading my mind just now? Miroku thought.

"What do you mean?" Miroku asked innocently as they were entering the dormitory front gate.

"You know better than me," Inuyasha said. He felt like he was being watched and looked up. He saw Kikyou looking at them, and when she saw him looking at her, she turned around.

What's wrong with her? Spying on us? Inuyasha wondered, looking up at the window Kikyou was from just now. Is she coming up with another idea to kill Kagome? If so…

"What's wrong?" Miroku asked, following Inuyasha's gaze. Inuyasha was distracted by Miroku and stopped thinking.

"What did you say just now? I did not catch it," Inuyasha said. "I said that what is the matter?" Miroku repeated.

"Nothing wrong."

"But you seemed to be distracted just now."

"You are imagining things."

"No, I did not. Or maybe I am."

"Yeah, you are. Let's go back to our dormitory before it gets dark."

At night, at Kagome's ward

Sango yawned. It is indeed tiring taking care of Kagome. I think Inuyasha did not have enough sleep while taking care of Kagome at that time. Sango crossed her arms and laid them on Kagome's blanket. She lowered her head and drifted to sleep.

The ward was so quiet that one could only hear Kagome and Sango breathing. All of a sudden, one of her fingers moved a little.
