CHAPTER2
Inuyasha made Kagome lay against a tree while he went to get her things. He went to where her sleeping bag was and started collecting her things and putting them in her backpack. While he was putting her things away a small red book fell out of her bag. He picked it up and read the title: Diary: Property of Kagome H.
He knew that she would be mad if he read it, but he couldn't help himself. He took the book and stashed it in his robe. Then he went back to Kagome. He flung her backpack on and carefully wrapped her in his fire rat robe kimono and picked her up bridal style.
He was about to leave when he heard someone moving around behind him. He turned his head and saw that it was Shippo. "Where are you going Inuyasha? And what's wrong with Kagome?" asked Shippo. Inuyasha didn't answer right away; he just looked at him. Trying to explain the situation without making him worry. "Kagome's sick," he answered, "I'm taking her to Kiade's for some medicinal herbs. We'll be back in a few days." And with that he was off. Running through the forest as fast as he could, but still making sure that Kagome was safe.
Inuyasha ran for about three hours straight before he reached the bone eaters well. It was dawn when they got there. The sun had just started to shine through the trees. Inuyasha gingerly walked over to the well, and then he felt a tug on his sleeve. He looked down at the woman in his arms. "If you're tired then take a brake. I'll be alright," said Kagome. She looked as if she had just woken up. Inuyasha didn't feel like arguing with her so he just nodded. He laid Kagome down under a tree and watched her until she was asleep again. Then he remembered Kagome's diary.
He sat behind the tree that Kagome slept under. This way she wouldn't see him reading it if she woke up. He reached into his kimono and took out the book. He opened it to a random page and began reading the entry.
April 24
Today was a sad and happy day. Shippo has decided that he is going to stay in this village with an herb farmer. He says that he's in love with a young village girl named Misuki. She's a beautiful girl. She has soft brown curls and a cute smile. We all discussed it and we decided that it wouldn't be so bad if he stayed. I'm going to miss him so much. He's like a second brother to me. I can't believe that Shippo's in love at such a young age. It's great feeling! I remember the day I realized I was in love with Inuyasha. I was sitting under the sacred tree. Mom told me that dad propose to her under that very tree. I want the same thing. For the man I love to ask me to marry him under that tree. I want it to be Inuyasha who asks. But I doubt he'll ask me. It's not like him to prepare for something like that. I wouldn't be surprised if Hojo beat him to it. I guess I can't help that I'm in love with him. We got into a fight a little while ago. Over letting Shippo stay here. It was a stupid fight too! He's just so hot headed sometimes. He went out for a walk some time ago. I guess he went to cool off. And maybe the fact that I gave him so many sit commands made him lose it even more. I think he's back from his walk because I hear someone out side of my room so I think I'll stop here.
3 Kagome
Inuyasha felt a bit embraced at the way Kagome described him. He remembered the night in her diary. He had come into Kagome's room to apologize (author note: the group was staying at the richest home in the village as the usual did). He apologized to her but he didn't leave her room right after that. They ended up fighting again after they apologized.
-----------------------------------------------Flash back-----------------------------------------------
"Why do we always have to argue about the stupidest things!" yelled Kagome
"Don't ask me! You're the one who starts it!" yelled back Inuyasha.
"DO NOT!"
"Well I'm not going to sit here and listen to you nag wench!"
"Well if that's how you feel than I don't know why we're even together!
"Fine then! I'm out of here! Hojo's probably still waiting for you back home why don't you go and be with him!"
Inuyasha walked toward the door. He slid it open with force, almost breaking it in the process. Kagome just sat on the floor still shaking from anger. He was already out the door and about to close it when he heard, "INUYASHA!"
He turned around and felt Kagome's lips brush against his. He was surprised at first, but then he wrapped his arms around her waist and deepened the kiss. They stood there in the hallway for about twenty seconds. Kagome was the one who broke the kiss. "We shouldn't stand out in the hall. Let's go inside," said Kagome. Inuyasha was in a total daze when Kagome broke the kiss. He said, "Okay." They walked back into Kagome's room. Inuyasha closed the door behind them.
Author note: don't none of you go thinking that they did anything nasty! Kagome's only eighteen years old for gosh sakes! PERVERTS! Anyways back to the story! -
The lovely couple made out for about half an hour before Shippo interrupted them. They were surprised for a second by him knocking on the door. Kagome quickly rose to her feet to answer the door. "What is it Shippo?" asked Kagome barely opening the door so he wouldn't see Inuyasha in her room. "Um…diner's ready. You should come and eat. Um….Kagome…do you know if Inuyasha is back yet?' said and asked Shippo. Kagome shook her head, pretending she knew nothing. "Oh" is all Shippo said before he ran off down the hall.
Kagome closed the door and turned toward Inuyasha. "Let's go eat." Inuyasha got up and put his hand inside his robe, "Yeah let's go. I'm starving." They left hand in hand toward the dinning room.
------------------------------------------End Flashback-----------------------------------------------
Inuyasha sighed at the memory. Now he knew how Kagome wanted someone to ask her to for marriage. He was about to turn to another page of the diary when he heard Kagome coughing again. He quickly stashed the book in this shirt and ran over to her side to make sure that she was okay. Her coughing was softer then before, but Inuyasha didn't want to take any chances.
"We got to get you home Kagome!" snarled as he picked her up and started running to the well. He jumped in the bone eaters well and landed on the other side. He ran out of the temple and started for the main house. As he passed the sacred tree he stopped for a brief moment. He looked down at the women in his arms then continued on.
"Hey mom! Look its Inuyasha and Kagome!" yelled Sota from the living room. He was looking out the window. Next thing he knew. Inuyasha had kicked the front door down. "What's going on?" asked Grandpa and Mrs. Higarashi as they arrived at the scene. Inuyasha went into the living room and laid Kagome down on the couch very carefully. By now she was breathing heavy. Then he placed her things on the coffee table. Inuyasha placed his hand on her forehead and brushed her bangs away from her face. "Is there something wrong with her?" asked Kagome's mom.
"She's got a fever…." said Inuyasha.
"Well that's not to bad, huh mom?" asked Sota.
"That's not all," said Inuyasha, "she's been coughing…….and when she does…..she coughs up a lot of blood." Kagome's mom froze with fear. He clutched his fist and punched the wall. Angry that he couldn't do anything to help the woman that he loved. "Sota go grab the thermometer! Grandpa go get a pillow and a cold compress! NOW!" yelled Mrs. Higarashi. She went and put her hand on his shoulder. Inuyasha looked up at her. "You did all you could, don't worry Inuyasha. Leave it to us now."
Sota and Grandpa returned with the supplies. Grandpa lifted Kagome's head and placed a pillow under it. Sota put the cold compress on her forehead and put the electric thermometer in her mouth. Inuyasha sat down next to her as he watched her family run around looking for supplies to ease her pain.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
The electric thermometer went off, telling everyone that the thermometer was ready to be read. Grandpa took it out of Kagome's mouth. He looked at the thermometer and went wide-eyed. He dropped it and ran to go get the phone. Mrs. Higarashi picked up the thermometer and told Sota to go get something out his room. The thermometer read 105.9 degrees.
After about five minutes of Grandpa's phone call, ambulance sirens were heard from a distance. "What's going on!" asked Inuyasha. Sota looked up at him and said, "They're taking her to the hospital. She's going to get medical attention 'cause of her high fever and coughing." Inuyasha only stood by as they put Kagome on a stretcher and started to put her in the ambulance. Sota looked up at Inuyasha and saw that his eyes were filled with concern and sadness.
"Here. You'll need these if you want to go with my sister," said Sota as he handed him a hat and a pair of shoes. He also gave him Kagome's backpack. "It's extra clothes for Kagome and some for you too. You might want to change at the hospital so you don't stick out so much," said Grandpa. Inuyasha nodded, and then he put on the hat and shoes and jumped in next to Kagome. They drove away and the Higarashi watched. "What now mom?" asked Sota. Her eyes were filling with tears, just ready to blow. "We pray."
Inuyasha held Kagome's hand in the ambulance. Her breathing got worse and her skin grew pail. He tightened his grip on her hand. He held her hand the whole way to the hospital and wouldn't let go. When the reached Japan Memorial Hospital he was force to let go as they wheeled her off to the emergency room.
Back in the Feudal Era -The others of Inuyasha's gang were on their way to Lady Kiade's hut. They're all riding on Kilala, as she soared through the sky. "I hope Kagome's doing okay," said Shippo. Miroku and Sango nodded as they descended from the sky toward Kiade's village. "You don't suppose Inuyasha will be mad at us for coming, do you?" asked Miroku.
"Of course not! We just want Kagome to be okay," said Shippo.
"Shippo's right," said Sango, "we have as much a right to see her as Inuyasha does." Miroku sighed and sweated anime style. When they landed the group hopped of their demon friend. Kilala turned back into her little cute self and followed the group into the hut. Lady Kiade was sitting next to a pot a stew on the fire when she saw the travelers come in. "What beings ye young travelers here," asked Kiade. The group looked at each other with puzzled looks. "Well we came to see how Kagome was doing. Inuyasha brought her by last night," said Sango. This time Kiade was the one with the confused look. "I do not know what you are talking about. Inuyasha and Kagome haven't come tot this village at all." They were now starting to worry. What if something happened to them? What was so wrong with Kagome that Inuyasha had to take her away?
"If Inuyasha said that Kagome was sick. Where else could her take her for help?" asked Miroku.
"He could have taken her back to her time," said Shippo.
"You might be right about that," said Miroku.
"We shouldn't worry then. If Kagome is back home than she's safe right?" asked and said Sango.
The group sighed. That was probably where they were. And they knew that Inuyasha wouldn't let anything happen to Kagome. But they couldn't shake the feeling that something was big was going to happen. "Well if you would like to stay and wait for their return you may stay here," said Kiade. They nodded and sat down to eat lunch with the priest. All except for Shippo, he went to the bone eaters well and sat on the edge of it. 'I hope everything's okay over there' thought Shippo. He sat there and just looked down the well wishing he could go to Kagome's time and make sure she was okay.
Kilala then joined him. She sat down next to him and nuzzled her head against his leg. Shippo smiled a small smile. He almost forced it because he was still worried. He remembered the how Inuyasha hesitated to answer his question about Kagome. He remembered Kagome's appearance. She looked as if she was having trouble breathing and he remembered the color in her cheeks. "She's okay. I know she is. Right Kilala?" said Shippo. The small demon just purred as she looked up at her friend.
Back in the Modern Era"Doctor! We need to get this girl oxygen right away!"
"Then get her some! You've got hands!"
"Well excuse me! I'm to busy giving her IV!"
"Stop arguing and help this girl!"
"Get her to x-rays. We need to find the cause of her bleeding."
"Her fever hasn't gone down!"
"Where's her family? Have them fill out this form!"
A nurse came and handed Mrs. Higarashi a clipboard of medical sheets that needed to be filled out. Kagome's family arrived to the hospital about twenty minutes after the ambulance. They had been there for only an hour. Grandpa had set up his own shrine in the waiting room and began to pray. Sota was in the restroom helping Inuyasha get dress into something that wouldn't make people stare.
"Just put your leg though the there," said Sota.
"Why do you wear these…these… what are these things called again?" snarled Inuyasha.
"They're boxers! And now that you're done with those, put on the pants,"
"Okay………I got them on. How do I look now?"
"Well….you would draw attention to your self now. Just make sure you keep your hat on."
Inuyasha was wearing some slightly baggy jeans, a red pinstriped button down long sleeve shirt, regular tennis shoes and a red and white hat. He looked just like a normal guy, and except for the white hair he was looked great.
He and Sota walked back to the waiting room with the rest of the family. He sat down next to Kagome's mom. "You look great Inuyasha," she said. He just sat there, staring at the floor. The scent of rubbing alcohol flooded his nose. The sound of silence interrupted by pages on the loudspeaker and soft footsteps that echoed. Grandpa and Sota prayed for Kagome's well being. All of a sudden, Inuyasha remembered Kagome's diary. He had put it in her backpack while he was changing. He went through the backpack until he found the small red book. "I'm going for a walk," said Inuyasha as he left down the hall with book in hand.
He walked around for about ten minutes before he found a familiar scent. It was Kagome's scent. He followed it until he found her room. He opened the thick wooden door and found her sleeping in bed with needles in her arms and covered with a thin white sheet. He walked over to her slowly, observing her condition. She had regained some of her color and she seemed to be breathing normally again. He noticed there was a chair in the corner of the room. He kissed Kagome on the forehead and stroked her hair. Then he went and sat in the chair. He started to flip through the diary until he found the last entry. He opened it wide and started to read it. He noticed the date was about a week ago.
May 24
Today was a really weird day. I know Inuyasha's going to mad if he finds out, butIwent to the movies with Hojo today. It was only two friends going to the movies. THAT'S ALL IT WAS! He was acting weird after the movie. We went out to dinner too! It seemed like a pretty normal night. It was like the last time we went out. Inuyasha and I had broken up and Hojo asked me out. So I went along. Half way through the night Inuyasha showed up and demanded to let me leave with him or he would rip out Hojo's eyes. Inuyasha and I got back together when we got to my apartment. I can't turn to Inuyasha now though. I have to make this decision on my own. Tonight after diner with Hojo he asked me to marry him. I can't answer that now. I have to go back to the Feudal Era and think it over. This way he won't be able to find me. I have to make a huge decision on my own and it scares me. Whatever I pick someone will end up with a broken heart.
It was a short entry but it made a huge impact on Inuyasha. He balled his fist and punch the wall. He threw the book against the wall too. He got up and walked over to the foot of Kagome's bed. He gripped the edge of the frame and nearly broke it off. His bangs covered his eyes that were now filling up with tears. He wouldn't let them fall. 'If she wants to be with him that's fine! I don't care!' thought Inuyasha. He was lying to himself.
He stood in the same position for about five minutes. All of sudden someone walked into the room. Inuyasha looked up and came face to face with Hojo.
OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH!
what's gonna happen next?
You'll have to wait till next time people!
Have a great day!
