Sesshomaru stayed beside me while I slept the night and day away. When I had woken up a day later, he had told me that my family and friends came by to see how I was doing. Even that guy named Hojo. Rin and Souta had made a 'Get Well Soon' card out of construction paper and markers. My family brought flowers and some food that I could actually eat, instead of the Hospital food they shove down your throat. And my friends brought me gifts, like an over sized teddy bear and chocolates.

I was happy to see the Hospital room covered with flowers and decorations. It made it more welcoming and not as scary, it didn't remind me of being in a room many others had died in, I would think.

"How are you feeling?" I heard Sesshomaru's low voice. He was sitting in the chair that he has had been for the past 26 hours. He can be very patient when he wants to be, can't he? I would have gone crazy trying to sit there as long as he had.

"I'm feeling.. a bit better I suppose. It doesn't hurt to talk anymore." My right arm was in a white cast up to my elbow. My legs were fine, but they had major bruising on my bones, and a few bones in my ribs were fractured. My head still hurt but the doctor had said he only needed to put five stitches in. So nothing major. It's not like a sword had cut me open or I was thrown off of a 100 story cliff.

The week was in a blur. I slept most of the time, I was only awake about an hour a day. Which is pretty nice I have to add. There's nothing you can really do in a Hospital room. Sesshomaru had stayed with me through out the week. Only going home when the Doctors had made him. My family and friends visited on a daily bases, but I would usually miss them.

After a week lying in the Hospital bed, the doctors finally let me go home. The stitches in my head were gone, and I can walk on my own legs without feeling the need to crumble to the ground. It was still a pain to breath while walking or talking, but I somehow managed. My mother helped me out of the bed and walked with me out of the Hospital doors and into the car. Sesshomaru was never far away from me.

He looked at the car with an eyebrow raised. "Just get in." I giggled, remembering the first time Inuyasha had rode in a car. He looked like a cat that had a threatening danger of being thrown into a pool of water. His ears where pointed up and his eyes were widen as much as they can, looked as if any second his eyes would pop out. He clung to the seat and armrest on the door, tearing holes with his claws, with his feet on the seat ready to jump out when given the chance.

"Heh." He glared at the car then got in the backseat with me. Grandpa had stayed home with Souta and Rin, so there was enough room in the back for just us. He had to slightly bend his head forward so he could fit in the back seat.

"Sometimes I wonder if you're just too tall." I said smiling at him. He rolled his eyes.

We got home shortly afterwords. My mother started making dinner while I went up to clean myself off. I didn't allow them to give me a bath in the Hospital. That's just uncalled for. If I can't give myself my own bath, then I'll have to deal with it instead of letting someone else wash my body for me.

It felt nice, sinking into a hot tube of water and bubbles. I thought about taking a quick shower but I don't want to take the chances of falling and hitting something that was already sore on my body. I let my body and mind relax. I would have normally fallen asleep if I had not already slept 100 hours this week. Before I knew it, I had my mother knocking on the bathroom door with a concerned voice.

"Sweety, are you alright? You've been in there for over an hour."

"Yes mother! I'm fine. I'll be getting out soon." I hadn't realized I was in here past an hour. I unplugged the drain with my toes and waited until the water was gone before I got out and dried myself off. I looked and felt much better. Wrapping the towel around me, so I wouldn't expose any part of my body, I opened the door and went to my bedroom for clean clothes. I felt like being lazy today, so I picked out my favorite sweat pants and a tank top.

Carefully walking down the stairs, I went into the kitchen to eat something that was actually can be called food. Sesshomaru had sat down with us to eat also, even for a demon who says he doesn't need to eat, will eventually get hungry. He didn't like it, but it was something to put in his stomach.

"Hey, Sesshomaru." I heard Souta say in the middle of dinner. Everyone looked up to see what he was about to say. "Gramps and I were talking about you today and we-"

"Souta! Don't!" Grandpa and whispered, elbowing Souta in the side.

"But gramps!"

"No!"

"Fine.." Souta looked back down at his plate moving aside with his fork, the vegetables. "Have you ever eaten a human?" He said so fast it took us all a second to realize what he had asked.

"Souta!" I heard my mother, grandpa and even my own voice, yell. Despite our reaction, we all slowly turned our eyes onto Sesshomaru. I've always wondered what he ate, and I'm sure so did everyone else. Even Rin was staring at her Lord wanting to know the answer.

He was staring at his food on his plate, fork in his hand, playing with his food. He looked up slowly into Souta's round eyes. A smirk formed on his lips as Souta's face went blue. It was silent at the table, no one ate, breathed or moved, for what seemed like forever, before his lips finally parted and sound escaped his mouth.

"No. I have not." He spoke casually, returning to his food. Everyone let out the breath they were holding in. Rin couldn't help but to laugh, hands covering her small mouth with squinted eyes. Gramps looked as if he had just crapped his pants. Mother looked like she was back to normal already, and Souta looked as if he would faint anytime soon. I couldn't help but the sign in relief.

Dinner went by like normal, other than the scare Sesshomaru had done. It felt like a family at the table. Not Demons eating with humans, but a family eating with each other. It was a nice feeling to have. Sesshomaru didn't seem to mind the food, his plate was empty before everyone else's. Which also gave me some relief to finally see him eat something since he has gotten here, other than an apple.

"Thanks, mother. Dinner was great." I said getting up to put Sesshomaru's plate and mine in the sink.

"Don't do that hunny." My mother said taking the plates out of my left hand. "Go out side to get some fresh air or go to your bedroom for some rest. You need it." She smiled as she rinsed the plates off in the sink.

"Would you like to come with me outside, Sesshomaru?" I didn't feel like sleeping another day away, and I wanted to spend some time with Sesshomaru. Ever since I had gotten hit, we hardly talked, other than when I was up and hopped on drugs in the Hospital bed. It would be nice to have some alone time with him to catch up.

Sesshomaru got up from his chair, pushed it under the table, and followed me out of the backdoor. I sat down on the bench and motioned for him to sit next to me by patting the seat with my hand. He did, he sat next to me and looked straight ahead, as he usually does.

"How are you? I know you've stayed here longer than you had wanted to." I asked.

"It's true. I wish to return to the Feudal Era. But I don't blame you for the Well breaking. All that can be done is to wait, and I'm fine with that." He said in his calm voice, still looking forward. I couldn't help but to feel a little depressed about it though. I know I wouldn't like it myself if I was trapped in the feudal era. "How are you?" I had heard him ask.

I smiled. "I feel a lot better than a week ago. Thank you, for staying with me in the Hospital. It meant a lot to me."

"If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have been there in the first place." Sesshomaru looked over at me from the corner of his eye then back in front of him.

"No no no. Sesshomaru. Don't blame yourself from what had happened. You-"

"I was purposely avoiding you. I knew you came after me. I even followed you for a few hours before I decided to head back. I was too lost in my thoughts that I didn't even smell you across the street. If I knew you were there, I would have-" He wasn't sure why but he felt he didn't need to finish the sentence.

I couldn't help but to put my hand on his shoulder. His shoulder twitched at the touch of my hand but he kept his eyes locked forward. "Don't blame this on yourself ok? I was dumb to walk into a busy street in the middle of rush hour." If he weren't so far away, I would have snuck a kiss on his cheek. I'm glad I wasn't close enough to do that. I couldn't imagine what he would have done. But I longed to feel the heat of his body on my own very lips. It was hard to fight the erge to not kiss the stripes on his cheek. I'm sure a simple kiss upon his cheek won't do any harm… Would it?..

-D: Is she really going to kiss him!? :P I dunno. Have to wait and find out.

-Here's chapter 16. And not a week later xD. It's a bit short. But better than waiting a week, yeah?
