Chapter 6: Hojo's truth
InuYasha arrived at the hospital frustrated and angry. It had taken more time than he'd thought considering that he couldn't read any of the street signs.
He ran into the hospital and was greeted by some women wearing white, and he assumed that they were some of the healers.
"Hello, sir. Do you need – "
"Where's Kagome? She better be just fine!"
"Um, what's her last name?"
"Kagome Higrashi" (spelling?)
She looked over to a receptionist "Look up what room Kagome Higrashi is being treated in."
She nodded then said, "Kagome is in room six on floor three and is being treated for multiple puncture wounds."
InuYasha nodded then ran, "Wait!" He stopped and the nurses looked at him. "What's floor three?"
Hojo decided that it was his turn to go in to see his "girlfriend." In his head, she would wake up to the sound of his voice just like every other romantic story he'd ever read. That wasn't the case.
He walked in and wanted to cry again. Kagome was lying on the bed with too many wires attached to her. He could hear her IV dripping and hoped it was morphine for the pain.
She looked really pale. It looked as if she had two IVs but the other was a bag of blood.
There were bandages on her head and she was covered by a blanket. But he could tell that there were more bandages around her stomach.
He walked to her and took her hand. "Kagome," he said. "Please, wake up. You can't do this too me. I can't take this. I know you've been sick a lot in the past. I hate it. I hate that the world just seems to hate you.
"Kagome, I know you seem to avoid me at times. And it's probably because you don't want to be a burden on me. I don't care. I want you to be with me. We were always perfect for each other. I know I didn't notice you for a long time, but after I did, I couldn't get you out of my mind… Please wake up…" She did nothing…
"Kagome… I'm going to say something that I've been meaning to say for a long time… I… I love you… and I hope that when you wake up, I can say it to your open eyes." He blushed. "If this is something you don't want then please forgive me… but I have to do this once…"
He slowly leaned down and pressed his lips to hers. Then he jumped.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!"
