CHAPTER 17

At Inuyasha's dormitory

Inuyasha stretched his arms as he walked to his bed. When he reached his bed, he sat on his comfy bed. Why Kikyou has to spy on us? We have done nothing wrong to her. Why must she be so secretively? If she wants to spy on us so to know if Kagome has awakened, I shall not tell her even if Kagome has awakened. I do not want her to commit the killing again. Inuyasha lay down on his bed. His eyes were so heavy that he blinked a few times. He was about to sleep when a familiar sound rang. Who is it? Now is already 12am, Inuyasha thought as he took his vibrating cell phone.

"Hello?"

"Inuyasha?"

"What is the matter?"

"What! Why didn't you told me earlier? I am on my way now."

At Miroku's dormitory

Miroku tugged into his soft and comfy blanket and switched off the lights. I need an early night so I can take care of Kagome tomorrow. I do not want to disappoint Inuyasha and Sango…

Then, Miroku drifted to sleep. No sooner had he enters his dream world, his cell phone rang, but the owner of it did not receive it. The cell phone rang a few times and stopped.

Inuyasha opened the door, a worried expression on his face.

"How is Kagome?"

Sango turned around, a sad expression on her face.

"She…"

"How is she?"

"She… She… has awakened," Sango said happily and Kagome poked her head out so Inuyasha could see her. "Hi! Inuyasha."

Inuyasha's worried expression changed into a happy expression. "You… you…" Inuyasha cannot continue his sentence; he was too happy to continue his sentence. "You have awoken." Inuyasha ran to Kagome and gave her a tight hug that Kagome had no oxygen to breathe.

I am so happy. You have awakened, Inuyasha thought."All right, Inuyasha. Kagome has not totally recover yet. You will hurt her," Sango said, smiling. Inuyasha released Kagome.

His eyes filled with tears of joy, and he cleaned it off. He was also smiling happily but the smile on his face faded all of a sudden. "Hey, hey. Who said Kagome's life is in great danger?" Kagome pointed to Sango and Sango pointed to Kagome. Inuyasha saw that and broke into roars of laughter. The girls, too, laughed.

"Seriously, who said it?" (A/N: Inuyasha actually knew whom it was but wanted to make the atmosphere in the ward relax a little)

"Spirits and ghosts?"

"Ha ha. Very funny," Inuyasha said. "Tell me."

"It is a secret. You and Miroku also kept a secret from me earlier in the afternoon."

"What secret?" Kagome said, unsure of what they were talking about. Sango told Kagome about the secret chef who cooked delicious food for Sango in the afternoon.

"All of you had so much fun while I did the sick patient role," Kagome said sadly. Inuyasha crossed his arms. "You are lucky you did not have to be a role of a sick patient going to die sooner or later."

"Are you cursing me or what?"

"Just joking, okay?"

"Luckily it is or else I would be under a curse," Kagome said.

"You will not have," Sango assured.

"Where is Miroku?"

"I think he had a early night. I called him and no one answered."

"Maybe preparing to take care of Kagome, and do 'something' when he is alone with Kagome tomorrow?"

"Wait a minute. What are you hinting me by saying he will do that 'something'?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha gave a half-smile, refusing to open his mouth to answer Kagome's question.

Next day, at school

"You mean she has awakened?"

"Yeah. So you do not have to take care of her."

"What!" I thought I could be alone with a pretty girl. All my efforts had wasted. All right, my efforts are sleeping early, Miroku thought. But how can they do this to me? Inuyasha and Sango had taken care of Kagome once. How about me?

"Cheer up, big guy," Inuyasha said, comforting his friend as they walked into the classroom.

"Yeah, like I will not," Miroku said sadly. Never mind. There will be another chance. I will not lose it and grab it before anyone does.

"If Kagome has awakened, why isn't she coming to school yet?"

"The doctor said that Kagome need to stay in the hospital for some checkup."

"This will increase the medical fees."

"I am paying, not her. But never tell her about it, understand?"

"Yes, sir." Kikyou deliberately went closer to the two boys and listened to what they were saying. Kagome has awakened?

End of Chapter

I have decided not to hold Kagome being hospitalised any longer. Hence, I wrote Kagome waking up in this chapter but, it is but, she has not fully recovered. So please review this story. I do not know if it is good or bad.
