Recap:
Kagome eagerly answered the phone. "Hello?" No one answered. Then the dial tone rang in her ears. Kagome hung up with a shrug she went back to the machine. She pushed play and sat on her couch…
Chapter 17: Hospital tripMiroku woke up when he felt a tug on his hand. He looked at the innocent girl lying on the bed beside him. "Do…Did I have any pets?" She asked. She had been asking him questions like crazy. That was understandable but he had been having a good dream…Lots of women and… (Miroku styled dream). Miroku smiled. "You did but you had to give her away when you started college and your brother got sick." "Ok." Was all she could say. She started at the ceiling. Sango had remember much more and she hadn't remembered calling him Miroku.
Miroku couldn't help but smile at every question. It was now late in the afternoon of Friday and he had called the chef and paid him extra to make a nice dinner for the two. Hoping Sango would remember the night he had first won her heart. He had made her a nice dinner and had invited her over for a school project. He had asked her to be his girlfriend and she had gracefully accepted. This time it would not be his cooking. It would not be his home. It would be romantic. It would be the time he wins her heart again. He would ask her if she wanted a fresh start. To create new memories with him. The doctor said she could go back to school Saturday at lunch. But Miroku could not wait. The food would arrive in 30 minutes.
He could not help but ask, "Sango, do you think if you tried you might remember me a little?" Miroku whispered. "I…I had a dream of words nothing but words. And people talking. I don't remember a lot of the dream but I remember the name, Miroku. Is that…Is that you?" She looked hopefully at him. His grin gave her his answer. "Then I remember a voice yelling pervert! And a slapping sound. The voice sounded like my own. Does that mean anything to you?" She blushed as she said this. Miroku's grin dulled to a big smile. "Uh…Well yes, but believe me this whole ordeal has changed me…" Miroku whispered back as if he was talking to himself. Sango looked at him confused. Miroku smiled. "I used to be known as the pervert with wondering hands. They usually explored my favorite woman's body. Yours." This he said while staring at his shoes.
Sango smiled. "Yes I remember that. She leaned over and gave him a hug with one arm. That being the arm without the IV. (IV- equipment for ejecting liquid medicine). Miroku put his arms around her gently and held her for awhile.
With Inu-yasha…
Naraku walked into the room. He saw Inu-yasha lying on the floor, unsure if he was awake he kicked him in the guts. "Inu-yasha!" He called sharply. Inu-yasha opened one eye. Some how he didn't seem as in as much pain as before. "Boss wanted me to keep you healthy so I sent you little food to keep you alive and I hear you're not eating it! Your bitch will never find you so what is the point of living?" Inu-yasha's groan made Naraku smirked. "That's what I thought. So I thought I would help you." Inu-yasha opened both eyes as he said this. "Oh yes Inu-yasha I will help you." He said pulled a long, sharp opened pocket-knife from his jacket. That's when Inu-yasha noticed he was wearing gloves.
Inu-yasha's eyes widened in fear. 'I can't kill you but I can stab you. And make it look like you killed yourself.' Naraku smirked. His plan was brilliant. He bent down. Inu-yasha tried to move but Naraku swiftly kneed him in the stomach. He grabbed Inu-yasha's hand and made him hold the knife. Inu-yasha closed his eyes firmly. Naraku was disappointed he was not begging for his life.
HE plunged the knife into Inu-yasha's stomach. Then dropped the knife and walked to the door. "Good night Inu-yasha." And with that he was gone.
Inu-yasha had only faintly heard his words. All he could think of was Kagome, as the blood bubbled at the cut. IT pored out making a puddle around him. The cut wasn't too wide but it was deep. The excruciating pain cut through his thoughts of Kagome. He had been lying there for 15-20 minutes when he thought he heard a door far, far away open…
With Kagome…
Kagome couldn't hear anything. Then she heard someone take deep agonizing breaths. Then the message was done. She walked up to the machine (its across the room) and pushed replay. This time she heard words before the breathing. "Kag…go…Kagome. Help. Me. Please. Building. Dark." A man's voice faintly called. 'Inu-yasha?' Her thoughts suggested. What does he mean building. She didn't delete the message but ran out grabbing her black jacket and her purse. She hadn't had a chance to charge her cell phone yet so it was no use. She ran down the stairs and when she got there she had no idea what to do. She couldn't run, she didn't trust herself to find the right place. She needed a car…Her car should be ready at the garage!
Kagome ran to the garage and was out of breath when she got there. But not taking time to catch her breath she paid the garage and took her car. She found the road she and Sesshomaru had traveled and sped down. No police cars came so she was safe. Reaching the street she hopped out of her car locking it behind her, she jogged down the street. Until she stopped at one building. It was definitely the right one. She opened the door and looked in. The place gave her the chills. She went up to the only door she could see. She put her hand on the handle and took a breath.
Not knowing what she expected to see she opened the door. The room was empty. Nothing was there. Dark purple walls. That's all she saw. She closed the door. She sighed and turned around. As she was about to leave she noticed a door on the other side of the room she was in.
Kagome walked to this door. It was the one she had gone to last time. She had forgotten that this one was there. She put her hand down and opened the door. She gasped and ran to his side. Her knees placed in a puddle of his blood. Tears fell down on his torso. An eye opened. The once shinning amber was dulled. She picked him up as best as she could and carried him to her car. She put him into a comfortable position in the back seat and drove to the closest hospital. She was going to leave Inu-yasha in the back seat and run in. But first she would tell him where she was going.
Inu-yasha grabbed her hand. "No." Was all he said. He didn't want her to leave him. Just then a car pulled up beside hers. A man got out of the parked car and was heading to the hospital but stopped when Kagome called out to him. "Can I help you?" He hadn't seen Inu-yasha yet. All he saw was a beautiful girl crying.
The girl nodded. He walked forward and saw a mans head. It was covered in bruises. Then he saw the blood on her cloths and on her hands. Also a bloody hand was holding hers. "Oh my…" HE said. "I can't carry him on my own." The girl whispered. The man nodded and picked Inu-yasha up and gave him a piggy-back-ride. Kagome was still holding his hand as they walked in. "Somebody help us!" Kagome half yelled, half cried.
A whole bunch of people starred as a group of nurses walked forward. Inu-yasha had lost consciousness and they tried to separate Kagome and him. They finally had after cleaning the cut and were taking him to surgery. Kagome waited in his room. Then she called Miroku. "Hello?" He sounded kind of pissed off… "Miroku listen. I found Inu-yasha. He was stabbed. I don't know how long ago the stabbing was but he is in surgery right now." She filled him in with out taking any breaths between info. She took a deep breath. She heard Miroku gasp. "Kagome its good you found him! I would go see him but Sango…When he is awake please explain why I am not there by his side." Miroku stated. "How is Sango doing?" Kagome tried to get her mind off of Inu-yasha. "She is doing a little better. She remembers me slightly now." Miroku stated. "I have o go now. Take care of your self Kagome." Miroku said. "Ok. You to! Bye." She hung up. Then she thought she should call Sesshomaru. She really didn't want him there, but they were brothers.
"Hello." An icy tone made Kagome shiver. "Hey! I found Inu-yasha. He-" she was cut off. "What!" Sesshomaru seemed more angry than happy…But then again when was he ever happy? "I found him and he was stabbed. HE is in surgery right now." Kagome stated. Tears came to her eyes again. She had washed her hands of his blood but she could still see all the blood on her pants.
Kagome heard him sigh then his cold tone was back. "I can't go see him now and I know you probably want alone time with him. I will call tomorrow and probably drop by. I got to go now, bye." He hung up.
Kagome sighed. She wanted to be with Inu-yasha. She wanted to hold his hand.
Two hours later…
Kagome had been let into Inu-yasha's room after the surgery. He was going to be ok. He still hadn't woken up though. It was now 11:47 PM. She yawned and watched Inu-yasha. She had been holding his hand ever since she had been let into his room. Inu-yasha hadn't exactly been sleeping in peace. HE had moaned and groaned in his sleep. But never talked. "Kagome" He whispered. Kagome looked at the sleeping form. 'Did he just? No he couldn't…' Kagome thought she imagined it.
Inu-yasha's eyes whipped open. He looked around and calmed down when his eyes met Kagome's worried gaze. She was holding his hand. HE gave her a weak, yet foolish grin. "What happened?" Was all he thought to say.
"I found you in a dark building and brought you to the hospital." She returned his grin with a sweet smile. There was silence for awhile. Then Inu-yasha tried to sit up. "Inu-yasha! No lay down!" Kagome gasped. She hadn't expected him to try something so soon. "Nonsense, I can sit up." He winced but he sat up and leaned back. Kagome looked at him. Her eyes narrowed telling him not to try anything else. Inu-yasha smirked one of his ever so famous 'ya right' smirks.
Making Kagome do the famous eye roll. Kagome giggled. She wasn't going to tell Inu-yasha what had been going on while he was away. A nurse came in a brought a food tray to the small table beside his bed. "Eat up." She said, and left closing the door behind her. Inu-yasha looked at the food then to Kagome. She looked tired and hungry and he wasn't hungry at all. He picked up the tray and handed it to Kagome. Well he would've if Kagome had accepted it. "You heard the nurse. Eat it." She glared at him when he didn't bring it back.
Inu-yasha placed the tray back down and mumbled something about not being hungry. Kagome wanted to ask him if he knew who had taken him but she wasn't sure he was ready to try and remember. Just then Kagome could have whacked Inu-yasha over the head. He was trying to get out of the bed. Kagome stood up. "Inu-yasha lie down or at least sit back down and relax." Kagome was worried he would injure himself further. Inu-yasha looked at her. Receiving the death glare, he sat back down. Kagome sat back in her chair. "But it's to hot." He whined. Kagome sighed. She got up but Inu-yasha refused to let go of her hand.
"Inu-yasha if you want me to ask the nurse to turn down the heat you have to let go of my hand." Kagome smiled sweetly. She was happy he hadn't wanted to let go. She didn't want to let go either but she wanted him to be as comfortable as possible. "I don't want you to leave me." Kagome sighed and sat back down. "I will only go get a nurse…" Inu-yasha looked at her then he shook his head. Kagome used her other hand to bring the blankets down to his hips. She was unsure if he had anything on below his hips she wouldn't take the blankets any lower.
Inu-yasha looked at Kagome as she stopped the blanket at his hips and took her hand away. Inu-yasha was still wearing his bloody t-shirt and he could feel his jeans on. So he threw the blankets off. The jeans were just and bloody. Kagome noticed this. "I'm gonna call Ayame and ask if she could bring you some new clothes." Inu-yasha looked down at the clothes and saw all the blood. He nodded. He let go of Kagome's hand so she could call. She popped out her cell. It was dead. She had forgotten that. She shoved it back into her purse. There was a phone on the other side of Inu-yasha's bed.
But as soon as she stood up, Inu-yasha growled lightly like a dog. "I am just going to the phone." She pointed at the phone on the other side of the bed. Inu-yasha started to lean over to get the phone for her but Kagome glared at him. As if the glare burned him he looked at Kagome and leaned back. Kagome walked around the bed and picked up the phone and started to dial Ayame's number.
"Hello?" a sweet girls voice came. "Hey Ayame! It's Kagome." Kagome chirped up. "Hey Kagome! What's up?" Kagome was about to reply when she heard an all to familiar voice. "It's Kagome? What does she need? Is she asking for me?" Kouga's eager voice was a little distant on the other end. Then she heard a smacking sound, most likely from Ayame to Kouga.
Kagome muffled a giggle. "Could ya do me a big favor?" "sure, anything you need." "Ok. Inu-yasha got hurt and needs some new clothes. I was wondering if he could borrow some from Kouga and if you could bring it over?" Kagome filled her in. She didn't want to explain the whole kidnapping thing though. "Oh sure! Where are you two?" "TWO!" Kouga's voice came loud and clear into Kagome's ears.
"Yes her and Inu-yasha now shut up." SMACK! "So where are you guys?" "We're at the Yodogawa hospital." "Ok! I'll be there soon!" "Thanks so much! Bye!" "Bye!" Click. Ayame was gone. Kagome hung up the phone and walked around the bed. She sat down. She didn't realize how tired she was. She yawned. She looked at Inu-yasha when she felt his eyes on her. "hhm?" She wondered why he was looking at her. Inu-yasha sat up straight. He turned around and got his legs off the edge of the bed. Praying that Kagome hadn't seen him wince in pain, Inu-yasha sighed.
Kagome glared at him, but he refused to move back. Kagome tried to pick up his legs and put them back on the bed but Inu-yasha was holding one of her hands and she couldn't hook one arm around his legs and lift them up. She looked at him. "What are you doing?" Kagome wondered aloud. "You need some sleep. So I am moving so you can sleep in the bed." Inu-yasha shrugged his shoulders. Kagome was surprised at his concern. He was the one who had been missing. He was the one who had just come out of surgery and he was worried about how tired she was.
Kagome smiled. Inu-yasha thought she was going to let him get up so he let go of her hand. Kagome slipped her hand away. Shocking Inu-yasha, when she grabbed his legs and he was once again fully on the bed. Next her hands went to his chest. She gently pushed him back down. Blushing at the contact her hands made. His rock hard chest has warm to her touch. "But it's too hot on the bed and you need sleep." Inu-yasha complained. Even though Kagome was weaker than him he couldn't fight her hands.
There he was, tied for strongest man in his year and the year above him (with Sesshomaru) and a girl was pushing him back down. Well he HAD just come out of surgery…
He smiled at Kagome. "Fine, but I'm still to hot." Inu-yasha crossed his arms where Kagome's hands had just been. She was sitting back beside him. She looked at him. She seemed to think for a bit. "Well what do you want me to do about it?" Kagome really couldn't think of anything to help him cool off. Well there was one thing…She could dump a glass of water over his head but somehow she didn't think he would appreciate that. If he wasn't hurt she would've.
Inu-yasha sat up and when he received a warning look from Kagome he explained, "Just one minute." Kagome raised an eyebrow at him. He smiled and then with one swift movement he pulled his shirt off.
His muscular torso was in open view for Kagome. He crumbled up the shirt and threw it in the corner of the bed. Then he leaned back down. Leaning against the pillow he had propped against the wall, with Kagome's help of course. Kagome pulled her eyes from his chest and looked at Inu-yasha. He was smirking at her. He had obviously seen her checking out his newly exposed top. Kagome blushed as she looked to the door. Ayame walked in as if Kagome's eyes had asked her to suddenly show up. Kouga can running in behind her, but as he passed her he got hit on the head. "No running in a hospital." She said sharply.
Kouga rubbed his head. Then his eyes fell on Inu-yasha. His shirt was off. This really got on Kouga's nerves. Kagome ran up to Ayame and gave her a hug. "Thank-you so much!" Kagome took the plastic bag from Ayame. "No problem." She said. "How are you doing Inu-yasha?" Ayame asked. "Fine." His tone was casual. "Inu-yasha! Say thank-you!" Kagome ordered Inu-yasha. "Thanks." Kagome threw the bag at him. Inu-yasha caught it. Kouga was in front of Kagome in an instant "Is it true?" Kagome had no idea what he was talking about.
"Is what true?" Kagome was truly confused at this point. Koga glared at Inu-yasha. "That you and mutt-face are dating." Koga glared at Inu-yasha with hatred. Kagome blushed. She looked at Inu-yasha. Inu-yasha had a red-ish hue to his cheeks but looked away. "Uh…I guess…" Kagome wanted to say yes. But she didn't want to seem eager to Inu-yasha. She didn't want him to know that she was powerless to him. Whether it was his caring touch, or his amber gaze, she was helpless when it came to him.
Inu-yasha's face became redder as she said this but he was pretending to be interested in something outside. Ayame gave Kagome a hug. "This is great! Inu-yasha you take care of Kagome or I'll sick Koga on you!" the hyper girl exclaimed as she hugged Kagome in a breath-taking embrace. Inu-yasha couldn't help but roll his eyes. 'Sick Koga on ME! What for? To get him killed?' He smirked at his thoughts. Koga could never take him out. Never.
Koga was out raged. It had taken it awhile for what Kagome had said. 'Yes… She refused me and she accepts Mutt-face!' Koga walked over to block Inu-yasha's view of the window. "What did you do to get Kagome go out with you!"
Inu-yasha looked at Koga like it hurt his eyes to look at him. "I asked her." He simply stated. Inu-yasha shrugged his shoulders when Koga looked at him in disbelief. "You must have tricked her some how!" This angered Inu-yasha. "Ask her!" Koga ran to Kagome and grabbed her hands. "What made you go out with Inu-trasha?" Inu-yasha was angry but he couldn't get up. Ayame whacked Koga over the head. "KOGA!" Koga whimpered and moved to Ayame's side.
Ayame smiled and Kagome and Inu-yasha. "Ok We are going to go home now! Bye you guys!" Kagome ran up to Ayame and gave her a hug. She turned to Koga and gave him a small hug. He blushed but turned away so Ayame wouldn't see. This pissed off Inu-yasha. 'Why is she hugging HIM?' Then they left and Kagome sat back down beside Inu-yasha. Noticing his angry look she made an innocent face. "What?" "You know what! Why'd you hug him?" Inu-yasha looked at her. But then asked himself why he looked at her eyes. She looked like she was planning something.
"Why Inu-yasha are you jealous?" Kagome teased. Inu-yasha crossed his arms. He was about to yell no but then got an evil idea. 'What if…She would be so shocked…' "What if I am?" He said it as if he was serious. What did he have to be jealous of anyways?
Kagome's shock appeared plain on her face. She didn't try to hide it. "what did you just say?" Kagome asked for a repeat because she couldn't believe it. "I said why would I be jealous?" Inu-yasha crossed his arms over his chest. Kagome was really confused. "Ok…" "Now get changed Inu-yasha!" Kagome had paused between sentences. "I will go wait in the hall way." "But I don't want to wear HIS clothes." But when he got the death glare from Kagome he decided to wear it. Kagome closed the door after she left. Inu-yasha felt alone. He remembered a dark figure kicking him and causing him a lot of pain and misery but he could not remember who. Who had stabbed him and who had taken him away from Kagome. Inu-yasha threw off his pants and got out Koga's pants.
Thoughtful Ayame had also put in a pair of black boxers. Inu-yasha pulled off his own and put on Koga's then he pulled on a pair of baggy brown jeans. 'I hate brown' He thought. He yelled for Kagome to come back in. "Inu-yasha! Don't yell! This is a hospital!" "Well how else did you want me to call you in? I can't get up because you'll tell me I should have yelled!" Kagome sat down beside him again. "True but still…" Inu-yasha rolled his eyes. "What am I supposed to do here? It's so boring!" Inu-yasha complained. "You're supposed to rest!"
Kagome rolled her eyes at Inu-yasha. Inu-yasha uncrossed his arms he sat up and crossed his legs. Kagome could see the bandage wrapped around his torso. Inu-yasha winced when sitting up but once he was up he was fine. Mumbling stuff like "I should've gotten up while you were out!" or "Screw rest! Who needs it?" Kagome sighed. Inu-yasha seemed tense. "Are you in pain?" Kagome had no idea why she was whispering. "Not now. I'm fine. You are tired. I can tell." He moved over to the very edge of the bed. He blushed at what he was about to do. Kagome eyed him suspiciously.
Inu-yasha patted the spot where he just was. Kagome raised an eyebrow at him. "You need some sleep. I will relax better if you are beside me." He was blushing like crazy. So was Kagome. So she thought she was crazy when she got onto the bed beside him.
