Ch. 3

"What are you doing here?" snarled Inuyasha.

"I've come to see my fiancée," responded Hojo.

Inuyasha lost it in that very second. He jumped across the room and grabbed Hojo by the collar of the shirt. Inuyasha pulled him about and inch off the ground and set his free hand so it looked like he was going to rip Hojo's face off. "Don't you ever call her that! She's not you fiancée!" yelled Inuyasha. Hojo gave Inuyasha a smirk. Inuyasha seemed a bit surprised at the other man's reaction. He slowly set Hojo down. As the overly cocky man fixed his collar he cleared his throat. "I've changed a lot since our last encounter."

"I know that you asked Kagome to marry her," said Inuyasha as he turned his attention back to Kagome. He looked at her face's details. Her cheeks that were once always rosy were now pale. "And what do you plan you do about my asking Kagome to marry me?" asked Hojo. Inuyasha looked him square in the eye and said, "Simple. Kagome doesn't love you so it won't be that hard for me." Inuyasha then turned his attention back at Kagome. He then looked down at her hand. It had an IV needle in it leading to a pouch of some liquid suspended above her. All of a sudden he saw her hand twitch. He rushed over to her side, knocking Hojo into the wall in the process.

Kagome's hand twitched again. Then she grabbed the bed sheets and balled her hand into a fist. Her eyes were still closed and she started to sweat heavily. Inuyasha and Hojo looked at her with worry. They had no idea what was going on with Kagome. She then began to talk in her sleep.

"No…………………."

"I don't………………..love you…………."

"Please leave me alone…………………………….."

"Inuyasha…………….."

Inuyasha couldn't believe what he just heard. He had put everything she had said together. 'After all this time with her and all we've been though she loves Hojo' thought Inuyasha. "Guess it won't be so easy for you, Inuyasha" said Hojo with a stupidly sly smirk on his face. Inuyasha went to the end of the bed and resumed his position from before Hojo entered the room. He was completely still for about thirty seconds, then he stood up straight and walked over to where the diary had landed and picked it up. He then walked over to Kagome's bedside. She was still twitching and sweating bullets. He leaned over and placed a sweet kiss on her lips. Hojo seemed uncaring. Kagome slowly loosened her grip on the sheets and stopped sweating as much. Inuyasha started toward the door and stopped next to Hojo. "If you do anything to harm her I'll rip your face off and then I'll take her away from you," said Inuyasha as he walked out of the room.

Inuyasha closed the door behind him and leaned against it. His head was down and his bangs in his face. He took a deep breath and looked up to find Kagome's mom in front of him. "I know how you truly feel about my daughter and I also know that Hojo asked her to marry him. But I want you to be the one who marries her. So take this."

She handed him a small black velvet box. Inuyasha looked at her with a questioning look. "Open it," she said. He did as he was told. He opened it and saw a ring. It was nothing fancy, but still breath taking. The ring itself was a simple silver band with a small square cut diamond in the middle. On both sides of the diamond there were small topaz stones. "That ring belonged to Kagome's grandmother. Before she died she told me to give it to the man that truly loved Kagome." Inuyasha just kept looking down at the ring. Neither of them spoke for about five minutes. Inuyasha was the one who broke the silence. "So………………what am I suppose to do with it?" he asked. Kagome's mom fell back anime style. "Your not serious!" she yelled. He nodded his head quickly. She sighed heavily. "When you ask her to marry your suppose to offer her the ring," she said. Inuyasha closed the box and placed it in the pocket of his jeans. "Thanks," he said as her turned and walked down the hall.

Inuyasha walked for almost an hour before he found a small secluded garden near the back of the hospital. It was surround by the walls of the hospital wings and one of the walls was made of glass and that wall had the only door to get in and out of the garden. Inuyasha walked thought the door and walk toward a large tree one of the corners of the garden. He sat under it and looked up at the sky. It was almost sunset. The sky was painted with brilliant colors of purple, orange, red, and some blue thrown in there. The colors looked as if the didn't belong there but they blended together so perfectly. Inuyasha remembered that he was still holding Kagome's diary. "There's no real point of keeping this thing anymore is there," he said to himself holding from one of the corner dangling it. As it dangled in front of his face something fell out. It landed right in front of Inuyasha. It was a piece of paper that was folded up and carefully tucked away in between two pages of the diary. Inuyasha opened the piece of paper and found that it was a page of the diary that had been ripped out. He slowly began to read it. His eyes widened more and more as he read the page. Before he even made it to the last sentence he got up and started running around the hospital trying to find Kagome's scent. As he ran he turned into a human. He was to determined o finding Kagome. Anger was the only emotion going thought his mind.

'Damn it Kagome!'
