He made it home safely. He smelled something familiar. It was Kagome's tears. He didn't know how he could smell them, but he could. He called her, and heard her trying to hide the fact that she was crying.
" What's wrong?"
" it's nothing. Really. I just, kind of had a meltdown. I mean, without Kyuki-do, I really don't have that much. I have you, of course, but that's only one piece. Kyuki-do has been in my life since I was five, when my dad died. He used to do it, and I wanted to share something with my dad. My mom said that he would be very proud. I know my dad was a black belt, but I don't know how high of a black belt. I guess now that I'm injured, I felt like I'd never be able to bond with him again."
" You know, it's only twelve weeks. You'll be up and about with your mad Kyuki-do skills in no time. Just think, I'll be there to help you recover. I'll make sure you don't get discouraged."
" B-but, I was supposed tot each the Kyuki-do part of gym."
" Maybe they'll change it till you're better."
She sighed and decided to tell InuYasha goodnight. It was time for her to get some sleep, as the day had already taken its toll on her. Her mother helped her into bed, and she fell asleep.
InuYasha failed at sleep. He tried, but every time he drifted off, his dreams were taunting him with nightmares of her screams, of her dying. When he could take hearing her scream to help her, save her no more, he kicked off the covers and went out of his balcony. This balcony was lit with soft lighting, making it easy for him to sit out, without disturbing the neighbors. He sat looking out at the pond his parents put out for his viewing. He liked the way water looked at night. He often went in there to swim at night, or if in winter, to ice skate. He never told anyone but he was pretty good at it. As it was close to summer, he liked to sit outside if he couldn't sleep.
Kagome had hobbled over on a pair of crutches, that she found in the closet. She snuck into his house and climbed into his bedroom. She noticed his bed was empty, and his French glass patio doors were slightly open. She hobbled out and saw his face hiding in hands.
" InuYasha? Are you okay?"
" Huh? Kagome? What are you doing here?"
" I thought I'd come over to watch you sleep, but you aren't sleeping."
" I just had some bad dreams. It's nothing."
" It's something all right. Otherwise you would not have lost sleep. And you wouldn't be crying."
" I was NOT crying!"
" Oh shut up, yes you were. If you think I can't sense when your tears are falling, you are an idiot. Just tell me what that dream was about!"
" I had some more of those dreams. The ones about my mother, just before she died."
" And..?"
" It was about you."
On the outside, she tried to hide her fear, but on the inside, she wanted to cry. Her hand flew to the piece of stained silver that InuYasha had carved for her when they were in fifth grade for her birthday. It seemed to give her good luck, and she would need it if he was having his preminitions.
" what?"
" You die, when I'm not there to save you."
She was stunned. She couldn't speak. He was having dreams, and for once, he didn't save her?
" It was just a dream. Nothing to be worried about. "
" Do you not understand this? These are bad. My mother died after these came! I can't lose you. I just can't."
" I'm not going to die on you. I promise."
She hugged him as if to bond the promise. They shared a long kiss, then Kagome had to hurry home. He offered to drive her home, and she accepted. He left a note saying he went to a friends early, to study for a test. He wanted to be with her. He hated to admit it, but the thought of him not being able to save her scared him to death. He told her to wait just a minute and he changed into black cargo pants with a chain to hold his wallet. He stuck his phone in his pocket, then he put on a purple sweatshirt with a heartagram on the front. He loved the band HIM so he wore the sweatshirt a lot.
When they got to Kagome's house, she snuck in. She told him to wait in her bedroom, while she showered and fixed her hair and makeup in her adjoining bathroom. She took 2 ½ hours to get ready. He got bored so he turned on her awesome plasma screen. You see, the Higurashi's and the Taisho's were business partners, but their families hardly got together. As it was, both families were very wealthy, with big houses.
When she came out of the bathroom, she was so stunningly pretty, that he had to stop and stare for a moment. She was wearing a pink tank top, with a pair of light blue shuckies. ( A/N I don't know if you know what I'm talking about, I mean those like short things that are like capri's but only go up to like right above the knees. Thought I'd clear that up.) She was also wearing her pink converse. Her hair was long and straight. She had in the pink lip ring, and today she had added in hot pink streaks in her hair. Very girlie, but also very beautiful on her. He stood up, and whispered, " You are so beautiful. I should just put you on a stand like a collective doll." She blushed, and kissed him quickly on the lips.
" We better go. Mom might get mad if she finds out you're here. She doesn't like guys staying here overnight and it looks bad if you're here this morning."
" Okay. Let's hurry. It's seven and we have to be at school by eight and you're mom wakes up around seven thirty right?"
" Yeah. Okay let's go."
They jumped in his car and drove to the store quick. He picked up a small box of doughnuts, and two cups of coffee. They sat in his car and ate. He stuffed down his donuts so fast that Kagome had to wipe of the chocolate smeared around his face. She giggled as he looked like he was innocent. He watched her eat slowly and daintily. She sipped her coffee, and when she was done, she threw her trash in the garbage outside. Then they drove to school.
When they got to school, everyone crowded around Kagome and her wheelchair. InuYasha felt sort of left out until Kagome pulled him next to her.
" Stay with me."
He nodded and shocked the crowd when he kissed her on the lips. His punk friends were, to say the least, drop dead shocked. He smiled at them as if to say, " She's cool, she's cool." When Kikyo found out, she stormed over to him.
" Excuse me, I need to speak to my boyfriend."
" Kikyo what the hell? I'm not your boyfriend anymore."
" Oh you're just so funny. Why pretend we broke up? You know you just did it to match all the other boys who did. So we're back together. There's no reason we shouldn't be."
" Uh yeah there is. I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE! YOU WERE SUCH A FUCKING POSER AND YOU CHEATED ON ME! WHY THE HELL WOULD I GO BACK WITH YOU!"
" B-but I thought you'd forgive me. You loved me! You used to always forgive, as long as I put out. Did you just stay with me for my body? Did you like to use me? Do I need to offer my services to you so we can grow as a couple? I want you InuYasha, I need you. Don't make it really be over because I love you."
" I'm sorry, but I am making it official. As of today I make a promise, I promise to never go out with a whore like you AGAIN!"
And with that he went back off to Kagome. She gave him a long kiss as to say thanks for doing the right thing. Kikyo burst into tears, and went off to the locker rooms to change. She put on a lavender tank top and a pair of hip huggers. The shirt showed off her belly button ring. Classic sign that she wanted a new boyfriend. InuYasha had fallen for it the first time.
6 Weeks Later
Kagome was getting better, but the fear of her dying did not leave InuYasha. In fact, his nightmares were increasing. He began training harder and trying to find a way to save her. He found nothing. He kept searching, but it soon began to take it's toll on him. His stress amounted to him becoming very sick.
On Monday morning, he went to school like usual. The weekend had not granted him more than an hour of sleep. He said hello to Kagome and walked her to class, then went to the library for his free hour. He went searching, until he felt dizzy. Then he blacked out.
