5. The Recovery

An hour later I awoke in hospital with stiches and bandages on my head and arm, my wound on my face had butterfly stiches on it, I opened my eyes to find my room filled with roses and a few cards. I saw sango, miroku, inuyasha, and sesshomaru I was so happy to see them but no one noticed I was awake.

"hey guys thanks for coming" I said weakly.

everyone's gazed came to me they were all relieved to see me awake.

"kagome I'm so sorry for leaving you I shouldn't have I'm such an idiot I'm so so so sorry" sango said nearly crying.

I lifted my hand and said.

"I told you to go remember its not your fault we didn't know" I said assuring her.

"kagome I'm sorry to I should have sensed something but I didn't" inuyasha added.

They all looked down except sesshomaru, they felt guilty but I wouldn't have it.

"well this day didn't turn out how I expected hahaha well if youse don't mind can I talk to sesshomaru alone".

Sesshomaru looked up at me a little surprised.

"um ok but make it quick I don't want to leave you alone for to long, come on inuyasha, miroku lets give her some privacy" sango said agreeing with my decision.

They left the room. I stared into sesshomaru's eyes and gave him a look that mentally told him to move closer and he did.

"thank you, if it weren't for you I would be dead I know you didn't kill yura but do you think she will come back" I said in a scared, thankful and weak voice.

"I do not believe she will be stupid enough to come back again with this sesshomaru around" sesshomaru said in a strong voice.

I blushed "why did you bloody her up so much for the door incident you don't even know me?" I said in an unwavering voice.

he looked down then back into my eyes.

"to tell you the truth I do not know what came over me it was a rush of fury seeing you so weak, injured and unconscious in my arms" he said deep in thought.

he was close enough for me to touch so I put my hand on his, looked at him and said.

"could you please stay near me at school and keep an eye on her until I can find something to do about her, please" I said begging.

when I touched his hand I could feel a jolt of warmth go through my body and his aura spiked just barely for me to see but it was there and his answer was very important.

"I shall keep an eye out but there is one time of the day when I cant, at lunch I go to the library if you are there I shall but if you are not I am certain she will come for you" sesshomaru said in a way which sent chills up my spine.

'but in a good or bad way I don't know'.

Then sesshomaru removed his hand and backed away and inuyasha, miroku, and sango entered with snacks. Later on at night after my family visited I dozed off and started having nightmares of that day.

I woke at 5 in the morning with a jolt I had sweat running down my head I removed the bandaid on my face to see how it looked in the mirror next to me except when I did it was totally gone then I removed the bandages, my arm was now only a scratch and so was my head I was sort of freaked out and grateful, at 6 am I checked out of hospital and went home to a nice hot bath I cleaned my blood covered hair and body then got ready for school I didn't tell my mom or grandpa the truth I told them I fell down the stairs so they let me go back to school I got to school in record time meaning early, barely anyone was there but I was still scared of being alone so I went to the library and sat in the cushions again but I turned out the light's so no one saw me. 10 minutes later I left the library to go to the back of the oval I saw sango.

"hey sango what's up" I said happily.

sango was stunned to see me but she answered

"um kagome why are you at school? and where did your cuts go?" she said flabbergasted.

"I'm at school because I wont let some girl run me out of it and I don't know why my cuts have healed so fast but they have and I'm grateful" I said proudly.

just then the first period bell rang and me and sango ran to class as we entered the room everyone was staring at me and all I did was smile inuyasha, miroku, and even sesshomaru were surprised to see me at school or even out of bed and with barely any cuts. I walked straight in and sat in my assigned seat. Miss Kaede entered the room and looked straight at me in shock she then said.

"Miss Higarushi come to the front please".

I was a little shocked at what she was going to do but when I was down there she asked.

"dear after the incident yesterday I did not think ye would be up and around so fast are ye a demon" she said in a worried whisper.

"no miss but I think that I'm as you say a miko or shrine priestess and if I'm correct that is the cause for my healing" I explained.

"miss kagome how did you know you were a miko" miss kaede said in a shocked whisper.

"I'm not sure but I have been having this feeling so I looked it up and found out that I have a rare kind of soul in my body I can't properly explain it" I whispered with a smile on my face. "I don't think whispering will help because several of the students are demons although I think you already knew that" I answered in a powerful whisper.

half the class started to laugh but only the ones that heard me and inuyasha and sesshomaru looked at me in surprise all I did was turn and smile at the class and say.

"its ok I wont purify you" I said while giggling.
