Chapter 7: Homiest Visits

Inuyasha had patiently waited for Kagome in the waiting room of the X-ray center. That morning Kagome had woken up with her ankle not only swollen and red but also before she even moved it, it hurt her. He had quickly gotten her ready and made her go to the hospital.

She had refused to go so they even had to knock her out will pills and medicine.

The doctor came into the room and said "Ok young man you can come in now". Inuyasha nodded and walked into the room. Kagome was in a bed asleep from the pills and drugs they'd given her. He put the two blue pictures on the screen and turned off the lights.

"See," he pointed at the side view "there's been a fracture and the joint wont just come back together". He pointed at a front view "see this is the tissue and it's been ripped apart together with the bone. We'll need to do surgery soon as possible. Or else the fracture could become worse". (the only reason I know what the doctor would say is cause he said it to me and my parents when I was 9, I couldn't do nothing!!!)

Inuyasha sat next to Kagome and removed a stray hair from her face "Ok, can you do the surgery today?" he asked worried for Kagome's sake.

"Yes of course it would be better to do it now while she's heavily medicated with less of a chance to wake up during the surgery" he said writing something on his pad.

"Sir we need you to fill this out. Are you her brother, relative, husband?"

"No" Inuyasha blushed "we're room mates, sort of like an older brother" he took the pad and started too fill it out. Most of the things where easy to fill out, others were more personal and he had to estimate or guess.

"Ok Sir wait here in the waiting room this could take awhile so feel free to roam around" he said walking Kagome into a room along with five other surgeons.

Inuyasha's stomach growled "… Where do I go now?" he said out loud to nobody in particular. He stood up and walked to the only place he knew Shippo's room. He knocked on the door, "come on in" Shippo said from the inside.

Inuyasha walked inside and Shippo jumped from his bed and took hold of Inuyasha's leg "Hi Inuyasha; weren't you and Kagome here just yesterday? Why are you back? Where's Kagome?"

Inuyasha smiled he was very fond of the fox pup, and it seemed the fox thought of him as a brother as well. Inuyasha sighed "Hey Shippo; yes we were here just yesterday, we're back because Kagome's ankle became worse, and Kagome's in the surgery room".

"Oh, poor Kagome" Shippo said jumping off Inuyasha. "Say Shippo; can you take me to the lunch room? I'm kinda hungry" Inuyasha asked the tyke. He nodded and put on some light blue slippers. He took Inuyasha's hand, "It's just down the hall, and it's almost lunch time I'll eat with you".

Inuyasha was dragged down the hall by a crazily energized fox pup. When they got to the lunch room it was actually quiet and empty, Shippo walked him to the trays and grabbed one of his own. He was too short to pick out the food so Inuyasha put him on his shoulders and took the food he wanted.

"Can I have the Mac-and-cheese?" Shippo asked Inuyasha. He put a bowl of it on his tray. Inuyasha took some too, then two bottled waters for Shippo and him, and a can of spite for Kagome when she woke up.

He and Shippo ate their food. Inuyasha put some water in a sippy-cup for Shippo, who (whom?) was still too young to drink from a bottle water with out spilling the whole thing on him self. A nurse came into the lunch room and came to Shippo "why is it when I tell you to stay in your room you go running out as soon as you can?"

"Cause your gonna give me yucky pills" Shippo answered annoyed. She sighed "can you just take it today with out a fight?" he shook his head and crossed his arms like Inuyasha would do. This went on and on for almost half an hour. "Take it or me and Kagome ain't never coming back" Inuyasha growled.

Shippo flinched at his sternness but resentfully took the huge pill with some apple juice. Inuyasha sighed and walked Shippo back to his room. "Thank you for hanging out with me Inuyasha" Shippo said jumping and twirling around Inuyasha.

"No, thank you for helping me find some food" Inuyasha said content and full. Shippo walked into his room "come back when you can ok?" he said before closing the door.

"Sure" Inuyasha said with a soft expression on his face and his hands in his pockets. He walked back to the waiting room and read the smelly old magazines 'why is this taking so long? Maybe something worse is wrong with Kagome. Oh I hope she comes out soon' he thought silently. Little by little time passed by, first an hour, then two hours, then four, then six.

(5:00 pm I wasn't keeping track)

Finally the doctor came out "Sir, we have finished the operation she's in room 4-7 she might be a little weak and when she leaves you will have to get her some painkillers" he said.

Inuyasha nodded and walked to her room, up two floors and down the long hall. He opened the door that said 'Higarashi'. Kagome was in bed her head turned up and even though her eyes were closed, her breathing ragged. She was awake and in pain, even after the surgery "Kagome…" whispered Inuyasha.

"Inu…yasha?" Kagome coughed out, weakly turning to face him. Inuyasha pulled out a chair and sat next to her bed, "Kagome, how are you feeling?"

"…Weak…" she managed to get out; Inuyasha nuzzled her hand with his face scowling at his poor Kagome.

"I'm sorry Kagome" he said sadly massaging her hand. "Not… your fault" she said in a soft barely manageable voice, he opened his mouth to say other wise but her finger found its way in front of his mouth "don't..." she winced unable to finish her sentence.

"Ok, ok that's enough just go to sleep Kagome, I want you to get better not worse" Inuyasha said to Kagome.

"Doctor… say not to… sleep, heavy medicine" she whispered quietly. "Fine then I want you to relax, no more talking till your not hurting" he said laying his head on her bed.

She turned her body to face him, and smiled. She was hurting but he seemed to be hurting with her. She was happy he cared and stayed with her. She'd always had a younger brother and many friends that were boys. But she'd never had one that made her heart race. He was different.

He always made her stop and think 'why?' she thought 'why is he so different than the others?'

She lazily moved her hand to his head and massaged one of his fuzzy appendages. He stared at her eyes which where the same sea blue, a little fuzzy and hazy but still clear. He knew he was not to kiss her, after what happened last time, so he kept his distance. He growled a sort of purr and Kagome smiled like a five year old.

Inuyasha laid his head down and relaxed on the bed. After what only seemed like a few minutes but was actually two hours her hand relaxed and stopped massaging his ear. She fell asleep facing Inuyasha with a small smile on her lips. Inuyasha put her hand down next to her and fell asleep next to her.

(Next morning ((lucky they didn't have to go to school))

When they had both woken up the doctor had given them his ok to go home, but he suggested that she'd stay home for a day or two and that she'd keep her foot off the ground. Inuyasha carried Kagome and took the pills from the front desk.

When he and Kagome got home he put Kagome on the couch and went to the kitchen to fix them both some ramen. Buyo walked in and mowed at Inuyasha "did you guys have Seeeeeeeex…………?" he said in cat.

Inuyasha growled annoyed "no we did not have Seeeeeeeeex" he said in dog. "Stupid fat cat" Inuyasha grabbed some cat food and poured it into his bowl. "Damn I was sure you were when you guys were gone so long" he whispered so that Inuyasha would hear him and get annoyed.

When the ramen was finished he brought some for him and Kagome to the couch. Kagome smiled and took the ramen "thank you". Inuyasha sat next to her but, not exactly that close; he didn't trust himself alone with her. Kagome scowled "cuddle" she said out of no where.

"Hu?" he said with a questioning look on his face.

"Sit closer to me, I'm cold and I don't want you to have to get up and get me my blanket" she said fiercely but kindly. Inuyasha complied and sat close to her, she smiled but then her shoulders slumped.

"Kagome…" he said wanting to get her attention.

"Ya?" she looked up at him.

"Why are you so sad?"

"Because… you're right here next to me but it feels like you're a million miles away… you're sitting next to me, I can even feel your warmth radiating off you. But you still feel far away" she said covering her eyes with her bangs.

Inuyasha was already finished with his ramen noodles he put an arm around Kagome to comfort her, the most he could. She laid her head on his shoulder and smiled lifting her hand ho rest on his. They stayed that way for a few seconds.

"Kagome, My Baby, What Happened To Your Poor Little Foot!!!!" said a new voice bursting into the living room came a woman with short hair who looked like Kagome.

"Woops am I interrupting something?" she said her hands in front of her chest.

"MOM!!!" Kagome yelled annoyed.

"I'm sorry" she walked to the closet and just opened it and let her self in, not forgetting to shut the door.

"MOM!!!!"

She took out a tinny sign it said 'go Kagome, go'.

"MOM!!!"

(Late that night at the dinner table)

Kagome sat next to Inuyasha who looked completely confused. Then there was Sota who sat next to Kagome and his mother. And last, gramps who sat next to Inuyasha and Buyo; glaring at Inuyasha every once and awhile.

"So that's Inuyasha" said Kagome's mom Kagome nodded "and he's not your boyfriend just a friend, but he lives with because his parents died and his relatives are all in America and London" Kagome nodded again. "So why is he a here and not with one of his other friends?" Kagome's mother asked.

"Because Kagome is one of my best friends and because the only friend that I have that is a boy lives with someone else. I don't really feel like intruding on their life" Inuyasha answered this time quickly.

"Ya right" Kagome's grandpa said "I bet he came here to take Kagome from us he's a damned demon" then he looked at Sota "grab him Sota!"

Sota did as he was told and his grandpa started to chant something, Kagome's grandpa thought that he was a great priest when he couldn't to dog shit. Kagome added something else pushing her bother and gramps off Inuyasha "Actually he's a half demon, his mom was a human and his dad was a demon".

"Either way still part demon" he said.

"He took care of me the whole time my ankle was broken, he carried me home, he made me food, he carried me to the hospital, and now he even carried me back and took care of me. We're in debit to him, he's taken very good care of me" Kagome defended empoisoning the He's.

"You did all that for my baby?" Mrs. Higarashi smiled "and I though you were just a cute face".

"Mom!!!" Kagome blushed, embarrassed that her mom would even say such a thing.

"He may stay, but I want you to behave yourselves" Mrs. Higarashi said smiling "you two know what I mean". Inuyasha and Kagome both turned away from each other crimson. Kagome hand her hands in her lap and was twiddling her thumbs. Inuyasha was scratching the back of his neck. Mrs. Higarashi smiled "Aww you two are soooo cute" she stood up "hey how 'bout I make us a home cooked meal" she walked to the fridge and opened it looking inside… "On second though how about we get take out?"

Everything was expired that or she just couldn't seem to make a descent meal out of any of the food. Kagome nodded and blushed; she hadn't gone shopping for food since Inuyasha had turned human well half human.

After rambling on and on and on about what to eat they all chose to just eat some pizza. "So, Mom, why did you come?"

"Well, when I heard my little baby got hurt and didn't come in for the next day, I took the first flight I could get and came here soon as I could" she answered, "Then I found out that you left the hospital after a surgery with a boy who had taken you here" she smiled.

"I'm very thankful to you Inuyasha" she said to Inuyasha who gushed proudly.

"So how long have you and Kags been living together?" Sota asked with pizza in his mouth.

"Um… 'bout a month or two" Inuyasha answered taking a bit of his pizza.

"Ya just about a month and a half" Kagome backed up; eating next to Inuyasha, who was still quite nervous about being around her family. "Um… I think I'll go set up the beds" Inuyasha said standing up, "I'll help" Kagome said grabbing the side of his shirt.

"You can tell me where to put them and find them but, you ain't going to put them beds up" Inuyasha said helping her up with one hand.

Inuyasha stood on her side that the foot was broken and helped her up the stairs. "Love at first sight isn't it beautiful?" Kaggy's mother said with her hands on her chin.

"Yuck!" said Sota.

(Back with Inu and Kags)

Inuyasha was pulling out a couch mattress in the computer room. And Kagome just watched helpless, all she could do was nothing. (Hey it's harder than it looks)

Inuyasha had taken out three different couch beds for Sota, himself, and Kagomes grandpa. He had to heave the last on for himself all the way to the guest room. At least it was clean; Kagome sat on the bed "Thanks Inuyasha".

"No… prob" he said gasping for breath. He lied on the bed next to her, he growled when he smelled someone come onto the second floor. He wanted to be left alone with Kagome the longest he could; he turned onto his stomach away from Kagome. "What's the matter now, Inuyasha?" she asked; giving him a few soft pats on the back like a crying child.

"Nothing" he growled back at her, she scowled and turned him over so she could see his face. "Boys piss me off when they try to act all tough" Kagome said holding him in place with her arms, and hands. Inuyasha glared at her he could easily flip her over but, he would wait a few minutes to make her feel more dominant.

"Well, what? You don't like my family being around much do you" she said, glaring at him back.

"No" he pushed her onto her back; still concerned about her ankle, he did it softer than he could have. She winced for a moment "your holding back aren't you". He glared at her harder till her face softened.

He slowly got off her and sat up putting his face in his hands, shaking his head softly. Inuyasha sighed, "I don't know, I've never been big on being around people who actually like me for, well you know, me".

Kagome put her small hand on his shoulder "I like you for who you are, Inuyasha" she said smiling.

"Come on, get up, I've gotta get to my room before gramps starts to spy on us" she said trying her best to stand without his help; which she failed miserably at. She fell straight into Inuyasha's lap; he smiled "I told you I'm gonna help you till you get better".

Inuyasha took her by the shoulders and helped her up. He walked with her to her room and dropped her off at her bed.

"Night" he said to her.

"Night to you too" Kagome said.

Inuyasha walked back to his room and took off his shirt and pants. He slept in boxers since he found Pajamas uncomfortable. Inuyasha laid himself on his chest and held his pillow, lifting the covers.

When he was little he remembered his mother would always sing him to sleep then tuck hi in. Inuyasha thought about Kagome the whole time and he couldn't get her out of his mind. She just kept on appearing when ever he was just about to fall asleep.

(With Kaggy's family)

Things were not the same with Kagome's family. After putting Sota to bed she went to talk with her father.

"Dad, what are we going to do when they find out that Kagome is already engaged to an Inutashio?" Kagome's mom asked worried.

"Would it make a difference? Their both half demons"

"Yes, Dad Kagome loves Inuyasha but, she doesn't even know Tashio's boy" she frowned and leaned against the wall "and also Inuyasha likes her back, they just don't know it".

"What are you crazy are you actually saying that Kagome would love a mutt?" she nodded "And are you saying that mutt loves her back?" she nodded "I think I've gone crazy…" he said.
