"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed with all of her might.
One moment they were dancing and then the next Inuyasha is on the floor with a heavy rail on him. She should have done something.
Kagome spun around desperately. "Sango! Miroku!"
"Miroku! I swear! Can't you keep your hands off of me for a second?" Sango screamed in the direction of the lecherous guy who currently had a red hand print across his face. Of course, as soon as they had gotten on the dance floor they had danced nicely for a few minutes before she realized Miroku's hand had wondered a little down south.
"Well Sango my dear, I was just um, trying to help you get lint off your dress." Miroku defended himself.
"Lint on my ass!"
"Hehe." Miroku squeaked. "Damn, I knew that line wouldn't work on you." Miroku muttered under his breath. Miroku flinched as he saw Sango prepare to deliver the last fatal blow, but somehow fate finally was on Miroku's side. Sango growled in anger as she steped forward to slap the pervert unconscious, but ended up slipping on the lower part of her dress. Miroku felt a curvy figure drop in front of him. His reflexes immediately bringing them nose to nose as he caught her gracefully.
"Miroku…I…" But Miroku shushed Sango with one finger, removing a single strand of hair fromSango's face,and brought his lips swiftly down to capture hers. The room was spinning and the whole world fell away for Sango as she felt his lips move like a feather over her own lips. Sango moaned and deepened the kiss. What was she doing? Whatever, what was that saying about living in the moment? The couple continued kissing oblivious to everyone.
CRASH
"Sango! Miroku!"
Sango immediately ripped her mouth away from Miroku. She heard a faint whimper as she pulled away. She almost felt sorry for him, but was that Kagome yelling?
"Miroku snap out of it! Its Kagome she needs us!"
"Huh?" Miroku tried to focus, but his eyes just wouldn't cooperate with his brain. Sango rolled her eyes and dragged Miroku by the hand, running to find Kagome.
Kagome's world was nothing. She saw nothing. She tasted salt water and she knew she was crying. Kagome opened her eyes and squinted down at the silver headed hanoyu underneath the railing. She hadn't imagined it. She was on the ground, lying helplessly while a crowd had gathered. Kagome vaguely heard someone dial 911 on their cell phone. Kagome finally registered where she was amidst all this and got up shaking. She stumbled towards Inuyasha's lifeless body, pushing the crowd away as she went. Finally, she was in front of him. Falling to her knees, she started sobbing.
"Come on baby, open your eyes." Kagome whispered silently, but in a pleading voice. She felt two pairs of hands on her. She spun around to see Miroku and Sango kneeling by her.
"Baby, what happened?" Sango looked worriedly at Inuyasha's body and back at Kagome.
"He...I...we were dancing...and then...the beam...it…it fell…and….I….I couldn't stop it…he saved me." Kagome burst into tears and Sango immediately pulled her in for a hug as she eyed Miroku who was already on the phone with the hospital, Sesshomaru, and his dad at the same time.
"Shhh, it'll be okay baby. Inuyasha's strong. He can handle this." Sango stroked Kagome's hair and whispered comforting words into her ear.
The ambulance took Inuyasha away. Now they were following it in Miroku's comfortable. 'I just can't help thinking that it's my fault.' Kagome contemplated these things as she watched cars zoom by her vision. 'I hope he's gonna be ok.'
The trio burst through the door. Locating the nearest doctor Miroku started bombarding him with questions. "How is he? Is he gonna be ok? Has his hair suffered any damage? Will he have permanent brain damage? Did he loose anything he might need in the future? Is there anything wrong with him?" The doctor immediately clonked Miroku over the head.
"Dude, chill with the out ok? He'll be fine. He suffered a concussion and some minor scrapes and bruises, but he'll be awake and normal in no time."
Miroku and the others let out a sigh of relief. "If that's all I must be going, surfing lesson. Catch yah later dudes!" And with that, he was gone.
"Weird." Sango commented. The others merely nodded.
"Damn it! Where's my cell? Ugh." The ringing grew louder. Finally she found it. "Hello?"
"Is it done?"
Kikyo smirked. "Of course, my best work yet, but its just phase one."
Naraku chuckled. "Whatever you say babe."
"I think now's a good time to go visit wouldn't you think."
"Just be careful." Naraku warned.
"Yeah I know. Ciao." Kikyo flipped her cell phone shut and smiled. "Now for the fun part."
Kagome sat next to Inuyasha's bed holding his hand tightly. "Yah know, we've only known each other for about a month now but I've never been closer to anyone in my life. I need you here with me." Kagome tightened her grip on Inuyasha's hand as all of her emotions came spilling out. "Who will I make fun of when the guys tease me about my relationship with you? Who will I torture during one of Rin's long, boring interviews?" Kagome felt her head fall on Inuyasha's side as tears came down her cheek. "So please, wake up Inuyasha. I need you." The twitch from Inuyasha's hand gave Kagome a sense of hope as her face whipped up with surprise. Was he..?
"Ka-Kagome?"
Kagome's voice hitched in her throat. Nothing came out as she tried to speak, so all she could do was nod.
"Hope you didn't miss me too much." Inuyasha said chuckling hoarsely. He looked fine to Kagome, he was trying to sit up, but ended up falling back on his pillow.
Kagome suddenly got her voice back at his comment. "Of course I missed you, you idiot! I thought you could have died!"
"Keh." Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "I'm not gonna gothat easily. Give it a day or so and I'll be back to myself."
Kagome smiled softly and suddenly threw herself into his arms. Inuyasha was stunned at first, but gently put his arms around her and gave her a soft hug. He had missed her too.
"Check out the lust bunnies." Miroku whistled low.
"Miroku! Shut up! You totally just ruined their moment dork!" Sango slapped Miroku across the back of the head which only earned her a puppy dog face from Miroku.
Kagome and Inuyasha immediately jumped back from each other, both of them turning a deep shade of red.
"We're glad your awake." Sango broke the silence.
"Keh. This is nothing." Inuyasha retorted. Kagome gave a small smile.
"Either way dude, you had us worried." Miroku teased as he ran up to Inuyasha. "Come here ya big puppy."
"Miroku..don't you dare…" But it was too late and Miroku had him in a big bear hug while Sango and Kagome laughed their asses off. Inuyasha started to turn beet red. "Miroku get a hold of yourself! Geesh!" Inuyasha pushed Miroku off of him.
"Right. I'll go back to being all manly now." Miroku coughed in a gruff voice. Kagome and Sango were still chuckling, but in a more controlled way.
"You didn't tell dad and fluffy did you?" Inuyasha asked hopefully.
"Well um.." Miroku started, but was interrpted by a loud entrance by none other than Sesshomaru and their dad Mr. Takahashi. Sesshomaru carried a big balloon that read "Get Well Soon" on it, while his dad had all of his cell phones and crap with him.
Inuyasha glared in the direction of Miroku as Miroku tried to inch away behind Sango.
"Little brother, you shouldn't be so careless. Hurt again and in the hospital for the third timein threemonths." Sesshomaru drawled as he continued to enjoy annoying his little brother.
Inuyasha just kehed. "I'm fine, I'll be up again in a day or so, maybe even less."
"Even so," Inuyasha's father interrupted as he got off his cell phone,"I've arranged a vacation if you'd like to call it that, so I can stay here awhile, as well as Sesshomaru."
Inuyasha felt his whole world come crashing down at his father's words. Inuyasha groaned and sunk deeper into his bed. 'Fabulous.' Sesshomaru smirked at Inuyasha's obvious discomfort.
"Sounds great dad really." Inuyasha grabbed a glass of water by his bedside and started drinking it with one hundred thoughts going through his mind.
"So, uh, where are you staying?" Kagome asked.
"I thought we'd stay at that charming hotel that Inuyasha is at. Give us some bonding time."
Inuyasha immediately sprayed the water in his mouth all over the room. "What?"
"You'll get used to it." Sesshomaru mocked. He was having trouble not laughing at his brother's squirming self.
"I need some air." With that Inuyasha flopped out of bed and headed out.
"Kagome…." Miroku started.
"Yah I know Miroku, I'm on it." Reading his mind, Kagome followed Inuyasha.
He tried to slow his breathing. It felt like he had been walking forever. 'What was my dad thinking when he decided he could just randomly move into my life?' He finally stopped at a clearing right next to the back entrance of the hospital.Inuyasha sighed out all of his problems and tried to clear his head. Suddenly he felt two small arms wrap around him. 'That scent……' Inuyasha relaxed and let the sensation of having her near calm him.
"You ok." Kagome whispered, as if not to break the dream like state they were in.
Inuyasha sighed. "I'm fine. My dad just threw me through a loop yah know?"
"Yeah I know. It'll all work out ok. We'll make it through." Kagome assured him.
"We?" Inuyasha asked teasingly.
Kagome poked him. "Of course we, unless you had other plans."
Inuyasha chuckled. "Sounds perfect."
"All part of my master plan."
Inuyasha grinned. Kagome's grip tightened around him. "I'm glad your ok." She whispered so only he could hear what she was saying.
Inuyasha turned in her arms and cupped her chin. "Hey, look at me. It's not your fault. I know your thinking that because I know you. Trust me."
Kagome gave him a small smile. In a fast movement she felt herself being pulled in by strong arms. This time she was the surprised one. Kagome wrapped her arms around Inuyasha and buried her head deep in his shoulder, inhaling his scent. They both sighed happily into each other.
"Getting towards that time." Inuyasha sad gently after a few minutes. Kagome whimpered gently as they pulled apart.
"Ok." Kagome said.
"You go ahead, I'll be in in a minute.
"You sure?" Kagome said not convinced.
"Yah, so go." Inuyasha playfully poked her in the shoulder and gave her his hundred million dollar smile.
Kagome grinned back. "Fine, I'll see you back inside." She quickly brought herself closer to Inuyasha's body and brushed her lips against his cheek, and just as soon as it happened, Kagome was skipping off back inside the hospital.
Inuyasha still stood there stiff. His hand slowly came to his cheek as a smile played across his lips. 'Kagome….'
"Hello Inuyasha."
Inuyasha spun around at the voice, but all he saw were the hospitals bushes and trees. 'Who's there?" Inuyasha called out.
"An old friend you could say."
There it was again. "Yah well I don't talk to people I can't see!" Inuyasha snickered.
The voice seemed closer. "It's been a long time Inuyasha. I had hoped you wouldn't have forgotten me."
"Yah, well, it helps if I can actually see the person's face." Inuyasha barked out, getting irritated with the wanna be Casper.
"Patience my dear, but since you asked so nicely."
And then she was up in his face. Cold, dark eyes met amber and clashed. It had been so long since he had looked into them.
"Ki-Kikyo." Inuyasha stuttered out.
"Nice to see you too baby."
"What are you- Why?" Then it all came back to him as he saw the railing come down on him, he remembered seeing a face. Her face. Kikyo's face. She had been the one who had made the beam fall towards him and Kagome. "How dare you! What games are you up to now Kikyo? What, your little boytoy I saw you with last time got too boring for you and now you had to come back and torture your old flame?"
Kikyo advanced slowly during Inuyasha's rant. His amber eyes cut through her in his rage. "Here's the deal Inuyasha. I miss you. Come back to me." Her eyes seemed like they were searching his soul and tearing his heart out. Inuyasha pushed Kikyo back.
"You think I'll just forgive you for the past huh? Well, I'm not as guilable as I once was. What you did to me was beyond hurtful." Inuyasha spat out at the girl in front of him.
Kikyo put on a pouty face. "Fine have it your way baby." Kikyo once again stepped into Inuyasha's personal space. Putting her hand on his cheek and sliding it down painfully slow. Inuyasha winced. Kikyo leaned in to Inuyasha's ear to whisper. "Just know, that you're missing out. And you'll pay for making me beg." Kikyo moved her head in a swift movement, catching Inuyasha's lips with her on, pressing forcefully for a quick moment before quickly backing away. "Starting with your whore." Kikyo motioned in the direction of the hospital. Inuyasha clenched his fists tightly in aggravation. Kikyo chuckled and disappeared into the trees surrounding the hospital. His eyes wandered briefly to the hospital. Inuyasha choked back a gasp….and what he saw next was the worst moment of his entire life. There on the steps, tears streaming down her beautiful face, was Kagome….
