Such Is My Life
Description: Taishou Sesshoumaru. Strikingly handsome, and monstrously wealthy President to Taisho Music. Higurashi Kagome. The most beautiful, ravishing musician known to Japan. And for Sesshoumaru it was love at first sight..
Recap:"Be sure this song is done by the end of tomorrow." Sesshoumaru instructed the technician.
"Of course, Shacho Taisho, sir." The technician said nodding as Sesshoumaru left to rejoin Inuyasha in the hallway. It was then that they exited the building and joined the three other men to have their night of fun.
Chapter 5. The Accident
It was 2:48 in the morning, and Sesshoumaru was sitting in the local hospital's emergency room waiting area. For a man who was usually emotionless, he was pretty emotional. And by emotional, he was angry, hardly able to contain his youkai in fact. How could this have happened? He trusted all of his drivers to safely transport his dear wife anywhere she needed to go. He trusted them with her fragile human life! And now he could loose her for eternity. Well, he was certainly never doing that again.
Sesshoumaru looked over to his little brother, a mixed look of fury, and worry spread over his features. Inuyasha met his gaze and sighed.
"Aniki, she'll be fine. She's stubborn, and would never stand for going out like this. You and I both know that. She'll pull through."
"If she doesn't.. I'm pulling the plug on that driver.." Sesshoumaru spat back. Inuyasha sighed again.
"Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru?." A male doctor called from the entrance that he'd exited. Sesshoumaru's head snapped up, and whirled around to look at the older man, Kouga's father. He stood almost immediately. Inuyasha followed suit.
"Yes, that's us." Inuyasha managed to choke out. They both walked over to Doctor Niimura.
"Sesshoumaru- Sama, Inuyasha- Sama." Doctor Niimura bowed slightly in respect, and Sesshoumaru dismissed it, long ago telling the man there was no need for such formalities between such long time friends.
"Just.. How.. Is she?" Inuyasha asked growing more worried by every moment that passed in silence.
"Well, I'll be straight with you. Her mortality rate is a little high. But it still isn't as bad as we first thought, and she's already made a bit of progress since she arrived." Dr. Niimura said looking down at Kagome's chart and flipping through some papers to give Sesshoumaru accurate information about his wife. Sesshoumaru's face took on a new, disgruntled look.
"What is it?" Sesshoumaru asked, his hands balled into fists to the point his knuckles were pure white.
"Excuse me?" Dr. Niimura asked unsure of the question.
"What is the mortality rate?" Sesshoumaru specified, afraid of how high the number would be.
"All things considered, about thirty percent." Sesshoumaru's breath hitched in his throat. That was much too high…
"There's also one more thing we need to discuss, Sesshoumaru. Me and you." The doctor, and old friend gestured for Sesshoumaru to follow him. Sesshoumaru looked at Inuyasha, and nodded. Inuyasha went back to the waiting area, and took a seat.
Sesshoumaru followed the man, into a private area for discussing circumstances with the patients family. Sesshoumaru sat down and, Dr. Niimura took a seat across from him. He took out a picture from the chart, and handed it to Sesshoumaru.
"Do you know what that's a picture of, Sesshoumaru?" Kouga's father asked.
"Yes. It's a sonogram. Of what I'm not sure, perhaps an embryo, or a fetus even." Sesshoumaru looked up at the man, and quirked a brow. "What does this have to do with my wife's accident?"
"Well, you're right. It's a fetus. You must have been very busy lately, not to notice, boy."
"What do you mean? I'm always busier than usual when a band is putting out a new album." Sesshoumaru elaborated.
"I suppose that explains why you didn't know. Why she didn't tell you, I'm unsure." Dr. Niimura pinched the bridge of his nose in slight agitation at the man's unusual density. He sighed.
"Sesshoumaru, look at the patient's name. On the top left corner of the picture, for goodness sake." Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes dangerously at the man. Well excuse him for being a little dense at three in the morning, also while his wife could be dying..
Sesshoumaru glanced down at the picture, and found the name. He read it. His eye size must have multiplied by five.
"This.. Is Kagome's sonogram? And this.. Is a fetus.. A baby?" Sesshoumaru looked up in disbelief. How could I have not noticed! WHY DIDN'T SHE TELL ME!
"Yes, Sesshoumaru. Kagome is pregnant. Almost two months." Sesshoumaru deadpanned. And the next thing he knew, everything was black.
Sesshoumaru awoke not too long after to Dr. Niimura calling his name, and slapping his cheek lightly. His eyes slowly fluttered open, and he shot up off the floor, all the previous events rushing back into his mind, but the pregnancy held prominence.
"Kagome.. Is pregnant.." He said as he stood from the floor, his knees weak, causing a slight wobble. Sesshoumaru took the picture, and walked out into the waiting room again. He found Inuyasha, and shoved the picture in his face.
Inuyasha looked up confused, and took the picture from his brother, and took a look. He looked back up more confused giving him the what-the-fuck-is-this? look. And Inuyasha really had no clue.
Sesshoumaru pointed at the picture again, and made a just-fucking-look. face, Inuyasha sighed and looked again. A few seconds later, Inuyasha's face resembled Sesshoumaru's the moment he himself figured it all out. He looked up at Sesshoumaru, who nodded, and back at the picture.
"Holy.. Fuck.."
