10 minutes later
" Kagura" came the rushing voice of sesshoumaru
Kagura hurried out and in the car, sesshoumaru droved a little faster than usual
" Hey, good thing your dad let you go" kagura said
" Yeah, I told him it's an emergency, your moms in the hospital so he let me go with no hesitation" he said
Kagura who was starting to feel that Sesshoumaru's father is nice, how she wished she have a nice father like his… her father is not… let's say nice… she remembered the times when her mom is not home when her " father" abused them and how he murdered her older sister, kanna and her younger brother, Hakudoushi but good thing she managed to escape and call the police…Naraku, her father was sent to jail for murdering his two children…and she never heard of him since that day he was sent to jail…
" Kagura, something wrong??" sesshoumaru said in a worried tone voice
"Oh its nothing" she said
The car stopped at the hospital's parking lot, kagura hurried out and run inside by the lobby and saw Mrs. Higurashi waiting for her. Sesshoumaru was running behind her.
Room 96
Kagura saw her mom lying on the hospital's bed, by the time she heard her called her she hurried and kneeled by her bed,
Are you ok mom?? She said while her tears falling down her cheeks
" Good you made it" kagura's mom said
" What do you mean you made it??" she asked in a worried tone of voice
" It's nothing kagura, it think I'm ok now, but I don't want you to go away, just stay here… she said
" Mrs. Higurashi said you had an heart attack during the meeting??…What happened??…I didn't know you have heart problems??? Kagura said in a very worried tone of voice
Her mom just smiled… don't worry about me im ok now that you made it just in time
" Just tell me what me what happened to you today…why are you taken to the hospital…no fair why didn't tell me you have heart problems!! Kagura said while tears fall to her eyes
She knows her mom is hiding something from her
" Listen kagura, im sorry I did not tell you about me having cancer…
Kagura's eyes widened
" You have…cancer?? Kagura said slowly while more tears fall down on her cheeks
" Im sorry…sweetie…its just that I don't want to get you so worried about it…now that…you have perfect boyfriend…I see you always have fun being with him and I don't want to ruin it… she said weakly
" Oh mom!!…" Kagura said " now what did the doctors said about your health??" she continued
There was a short silence
" I only have…48 hours left to stay…here with you" her mom said finally tears came down her cheeks
Kagura cried to her mom's bed while kneeling down
Sesshoumaru who was witnessing all of this wants to go inside the room and comfort kagura but he Couldn't… " I think it will be better if I leave them both alone for awhile now" he thought
Inside the room
" Kagura" her mom said while she caressed Kagura's hair
Kagura looked up at her
" Stop crying… I don't want to see you sad…" she said
Kagura did not reply but she stopped crying
" Kagura I want you to have this" she said while she hand a old book to her
"I want you to read this after im gone" she said
" Don't say that!!" kagura said
Her mom smiled sadly
" Kagura I want you to marry Sesshoumaru after you Finish College" she whispered
" I don't… understand" kagura said
When you read that book you'll understand
"Where did you get this book??" kagura asked
" It was passed down to me by my grandmother, it's about the Ice prince and the wind sorceress" her mom said
Kagura was confused
" My grandmother gave me that book before she died, she told me to read it…and pass it down to you" she said
" To me??" kagura said
" Yes… to you my dear." she said
" But why??" kagura said
" You'll soon find out when you finished reading that book with Sesshoumaru," she said
"With Sesshoumaru" she said quietly
" Mom…do I need to pass it down too??" She said
" Im guessing not… I think you're the one…" she said
" Kagura I want you to call Sesshoumaru… I want to talk to him" Kagura's mom said
"Ok mom but after that I want you to rest…" kagura said
" There is no time to rest I've got some work that needs to get done before I go" she said weakly
Kagura is confused by the time being
" Sesshoumaru, mom wishes to talk to you…" kagura said sadly
Sesshoumaru stood up and followed kagura in the room
" Sesshoumaru, I wish to speak to you privately" Kagura's mom said
Kagura's mom looking at kagura signaling her to go out for now
She knew that sign and immediately went out
" Sesshoumaru" Kagura's mom said
Sesshoumaru turned his eyes on her
" I know, we barely know each other, but I see the real you inside, I want you to take care of kagura when im gone…by the time I first saw you… I thought I you look familiar… im thinking I was right…"
She said
" I want you to read the book with kagura, I want you to cherish her all the time, I want you to love her all the time," she said
Sesshoumaru understands everything she said to him except the book part…
" Tell me, what is this book you talk of??" He asked
" It's the book about the ice prince and the wind sorceress," she said
" I see," he said although he's still a little bit confused
"I want you to know I will love and protect your daughter you shall not worry about it" Sesshoumaru said
Kagura's mom let out a satisfied smile, then said:
"Now I want you to call kagura here"
Sesshoumaru nodded
He then calls on to kagura who was sitting at the waiting bench outside the room
" Kagura" her mom said
" Yes mom" she said trying to smile but it was futile
" I want to rest now, I want you to rest too," she said
But mom I don't want to leave kagura said
Her eyes is starting to get blurred, she wanted to cry out loud
" kagura, just come visit me tomorrow" her mom said
" no im not going" kagura insisted
Kagura's mom did not reply
There was a short silence then finally she smiled and said, "so be it"
Then she slowly closed her eyes and fall to a deep sleep
Kagura still cant believe her mom have cancer and soon will be departed from her
" Sesshoumaru, you should go now…get some sleep," she said
Sesshoumaru took step forward kagura
" I wont go," he said " I promise your mom, I'll always protect and love you" he continued
" Thank you" kagura said then she sat on the bench near leaving Sesshoumaru standing. Sesshoumaru looked at her, kagura gestured to him that come sit next to her Sesshoumaru then took step to the bench and sat next to her kagura then rested her head to his shoulder, Sesshoumaru then cuddled her.
Kagura felt comfortable with him but not quiet this time, seriously how can you feel comfortable when you know your mom only got two days to stay before she dies.
Kagura's sight is starting to get blurred again but this time she did not pushed it back but instead she let it out, Sesshoumaru sense that kagura was crying he then looked at her and wiped away her tears and kissed her head " I don't want to see you cry" he whispered
Kagura did not reply on what he said but instead she let out a small smile and snuggled closer to Sesshoumaru, and slowly she began to fall into a deep sleep. its 5: 00 am, Sesshoumaru gently shook Kagura's shoulder and her eyes slowly cracked open. Kagura sat down, Sesshoumaru was watching her rub her weary eyes then she looked at him.
"kagura, your mom" he simply said
Kagura was starting to get worried by the way Sesshoumaru look at her
" what's wrong….something happened??" she finally said then her sight is getting blurry once again
" she wants you there" he simply spat back with a sad look on his face
Kagura then run to her mom's room, leaving Sesshoumaru standing in the hall by himself, but he understand how worried kagura is, he then start to walk towards the room slowly to check out what's going on. When he reached the door's glass window he saw Kagura's mom lay peacefully on the hospital's bed, her arms was placed on her side, her eyes is perfectly shut, while kagura was on the floor her knees is down while she sobs, Sesshoumaru realized Kagura's mom is dead he then pushed the door that was in front of him and kneeled down by kagura.
Kagura felt his hands on her shoulder, her eyes met his
There was a short silence but tears keep falling Kagura's eyes
" can I borrow your shoulder??" kagura said still weeping '
Sesshoumaru stared at her blankly and simply nodded.
Kagura then put her arms on his left side shoulder and leaned to it and cried harder " it isn't fair!!!" she said while still crying hard... Sesshoumaru pulled her arms away then hugged her tight " you don't need to borrow, its always open for you" he whispered to her ears
Kagura did not stopped crying but she clearly heard what Sesshoumaru had said to her .
Her mom's body has been cremated and was sprinkled at the sea
