Sesshomaru gracefully landed in a dark alley by the hospital,
"Have you got it?" Sesshomaru asked,
"Its here," Sango stripping herself of the gear as Sesshomaru did the same. They ran into the hospital, Sesshomaru of course disguised himself as a human again.
"The moment of truth awaits us," Sango's eyes watering, Sesshomaru grabbed her hand,
"She will be fine," Sesshomaru finding a huge fight going on in the hospital.
"Father, what's going on?" Sesshomaru pushing past the crowd,
"Kagome's gone," Inutashio having a couple of tears running down his face, Sango gasped and brought her hands to her mouth as she hit the floor crying. Sesshomaru noticed Kagome's bed in the middle of the hospital, he saw the breathing tube lying in the floor.
~You could be Kagome's prince, you could wake her from her sleep with a kiss, just like in the story.~ Rin's voice playing in his head. He slowly moved to Kagome and leaned down and whispered something in her ear, then he licked his lips and did something he never thought he would do, he kissed her. Sango was stunned, his father smirked, slowly Sesshomaru raise back up, Sango slipped her hand into his to seek comfort, he glanced at Sango, he pulled her into an embrace, he glanced at Kagome, then saw Kikyo, he sneered at Kikyo.
~She'll get hers…*beep beep, beep beep,* huh…Kagome?~ Sesshomaru blinking, he thought his ears were deceiving him, he stared at Kagome, she started coughing, Sesshomaru didn't realize it but he was smiling and his eyes were watering. He turned Sango around,
"Kagome, oh god, she's alive!" Sango cried for joy. Sango hung onto Kagome's bed rails,
"Kagome, its Sango, honey how you feeling?" Sango asked.
"Sango, Amaya is gone," Kagome crying,
"Its okay Kags, Sesshomaru's here," Sango moving and letting her see Sesshomaru,
"Hey Kagome, how are you feeling?" Sesshomaru asked, his father came over.
"Now you guys can get married," Inutashio excitedly, Kagome looked like a deer caught in headlights,
"Sango," Kagome grabbing her hand.
"You don't remember me?" Sesshomaru asked,
"I'm sorry, I don't," Kagome softly, Sesshomaru stared in her eyes, he nodded, his father watched him walk slowly away,
"Sesshomaru," his father whispered,
"Mr. Inutashio," Kagome hoarsely.
"Hey, you are going to be okay now," Inutashio smiling,
"I guess," Kagome feeling like she was missing something. Sango and Inutashio showed the director of the doctors at the hospital a will,
"This is the real will, I would like the police to be called and I would like to press charges against Kikyo and I would like Dr. removed from Kagome's room, I am requesting a switch of doctors," Sango seriously.
"Of course Ms. Sango, we will be moving Kagome to another room shortly," the head doctor taking a look at the will.
"Thank you doctor," Sango nodded, the doctor gave Sango the will back and Sango left the room.
Back in Kagome's Room
"Listen Kagome, you have to keep a low profile, Sesshomaru is pretending to be your fiancé, I know what I am about to tell you is a shock to you but do you remember the car wreck?" Inutashio asked,
"Only that I have a feeling my daughter is dead," Kagome softly.
"Kagome, it was three years ago, you and your parents along with your brother and Amaya were in the crash, everyone died except for you, you have been in a coma for three years," Inutashio explained to her not wanting to breath a word of her daughter being alive in the hospital.
"Its not safe to talk here, I'm taking you to my residence and you will be properly cared for there," Inutashio explained.
"Thank you Inutashio, for everything," Kagome hugging him,
"The one you need to thank is Sesshomaru, I think he is in love with you," Inutashio smiling,
"But I have no idea who he is," Kagome whispered.
~So she does not remember having the out of body experience, strange.~ Inutashio thought to himself,
"Well, let me go settle things and we'll take you home," Inutashio patting her arm gently, Inutashio's guards stayed watch over her till things were settled.
Night Fall
Kagome was at her parent's house, Inutashio gave her a room by Sesshomaru's new one, he thought that once Sesshomaru came back from wherever he was that they maybe could hit it off again. He had guards stationed at her room at all times, he was still worried about those who weren't killed off coming to get her. As soon as she was better, they all would leave town for their safety and that included Sango, Miroku, and their baby.
Meanwhile….
Sesshomaru was combing through the nearby forest slowly making his way to his father's mansion trying to sort through all the new emotions he was feeling,
~I feel empty, why does this feel so bad?~ Sesshomaru growled to himself,
~Because it feels like she rejected you, now you are getting a taste of how Kagome's spirit felt when you told her that you couldn't be with her, go home, talk to your father and….try talking to Kagome, maybe you can help her remember what happened.~ Sesshomaru's beast explained trying to calm his master down,
~After all I am sure little Rin is worried sick about you.~ his beast guilt tripping him,
~You're right, I need to go back for Rin.~ Sesshomaru thought.
Meanwhile…
Inuyasha slept on, he had lost his father's strength and looked like his normal self except he carried the family's marking on his forehead, the crescent moon, it held no color just an indention, his body was exhausted. Now the household held new members, a little fox demon and a little boy hanyou, he looked like a cat, but no one could be certain till the healers could clean his body of the chemicals that Dr. Naraku had pumped into his body, no doubt a perfect mate for Rin or Amaya. Sango stayed the rest of the week with Kagome, Miroku and Sango had a wing in the house all to themselves but Sango wouldn't leave Kagome's room it was like a constant girl's slumber party. One night Sesshomaru came back to the house, he carried wild flowers for Rin. Rin had been sulking the whole time he was gone and wouldn't talk very much, that all changed when a knock came rapping on her door, Rin hugged her teddy bear close and dried her face from tears, slowly she slumped to the door to see who it was, there stood Sesshomaru in all his humanoid glory, Rin's eyes lit up.
"Daddy, daddy, your home," Rin jumping into his arms,
"Hey Rin, I apologize for leaving, I needed time to think," Sesshomaru coming in her room and shutting the door. He carried her over to her bed, then sat down,
"Kagome is awake but she doesn't remember us," Rin sadly, Sesshomaru gave her the flowers,
"Thank you daddy, they are pretty," Rin nuzzling up to him forgetting about the teddy bear.
"I had to think about these emotions flying around inside me, Kagome is responsible for them and I am having trouble sorting through them," Sesshomaru kissing Rin's forehead,
"Do you love her?" Rin asked,
"I do not know that emotion, I feel torn that she does not remember me," Sesshomaru seriously.
"I think you love her, why else would you have kissed her on the lips?" Rin smiling.
"How do you know about that?" Sesshomaru confused,
"Grandfather was telling grandma how excited he was that you finally found someone," Rin smiling.
"You need to sleep Rin, I need to have a talk with your grandfather," Sesshomaru putting Rin under the covers and giving her a good night's kiss on the forehead.
"Goodnight daddy," Rin happily sang out,
"Goodnight Rin," Sesshomaru smirked, he felt warmth that Rin had accepted him back home and wasn't upset with him, he laughed a little and shook his head at the fact that she glowed just having him back. Slowly he started to his father's study, but smelt a foul odor, he sniffed himself, he smelled dirty, blood and swear clung to him since he hadn't showered since the battle in the lab,
"I need a shower, I'll just talk things over with him tomorrow night," Sesshomaru heading to his room, he passed by Kagome's room, he heard giggles and smelt lavender and spring rain.
"Kagome?" Sesshomaru mumbled, he stood outside the room about to knock till he heard his name,
~Ah, the women talk about us, interesting.~ Sesshomaru's beast giddy,
"Kagome, you've gotta be an idiot if you don't give Sesshomaru a chance, when I thought you were dead he comforted me, and girl, he is buff, if I didn't have Miroku I would go for him," Sango seriously.
"Sango…you're making me blush, besides, it cant be all about looks, I want someone who is going to care for me, who is a caring father, a family guy," Kagome seriously.
"Kagome, I wish you could remember your ghostly experience, you are in love with him, the way you talked about him, you thought he was perfect for you," Sango explained.
"Believe me Sango I wish I could remember, there's something missing in my life and I cant put my finger on it, its going to drive me crazy," Kagome sighed.
"I know the feeling young miko," Sesshomaru whispered out loud,
"Did you hear something?" Sango asked, Sesshomaru spared a glance at the guards, they nodded and he gracefully and swiftly made it in his room and shut the door quietly and moved quickly to the shared bathroom that he was sharing with Kagome. Sango poked her head out,
"Was there anyone out just a few seconds ago?" Sango asked the guard.
"No Mrs. Sango," the guard lying through his teeth, Sango narrowed her eyes at the guard and shut the door back.
"I think we have a spy," Sango giggled,
"You don't think it was Sesshomaru do you?" Kagome blushing,
"Ah ha, you like him," Sango smiling big,
"Sango please, I just woke up and saw him for the first time, you on the other hand should be ashamed, you are the one that said he was buff, have you told Miroku about how the demon comforted you when you thought you had lost your sis?" Kagome laughing a little.
"Yes, he wasn't all that worried about it though," Sango blushed beet red, Kagome giggled,
"I wonder why you didn't turn into a demon yourself?" Sango confused,
"Wait, what?" Kagome shocked,
"Sesshomaru told me that he gave you his blood to try to wake you up, he said that it has worked in the past on humans in states that were similar to yours," Sango seriously.
"I don't know, maybe miko powers rejected it?" Kagome thinking out loud,
"Maybe so, okay, well its getting late and you need to rest, is there anything you would like me to get for you or to help you with, maybe I could bring you a buff certain full blooded dog demon, hmm, he would make for a fine teddy bear," Sango grinned. Kagome slapped her best friend's arm,
"Sango! You are bad, maybe I should go tell your husband how bad you have been, there would be a lot of spanking to endure," Kagome laughed.
"Maybe its because I have been married to him all these years, goodnight sis," Sango patting Kagome's hand,
"Sango, I wont break, you can give me a hug you know," Kagome knowing Sango had been longing to give her a hug since she had woke up. Sango hugged Kagome,
"Oh Kagome, I've missed you so much," Sango cried,
"I've missed you guys too, I'm glad I'm not dead," Kagome crying a few tears herself.
"You know, Sesshomaru brought you back, he kissed your lips and you came back, just like in the fairytales," Sango smiling,
"It didn't happen like that," Kagome thinking she was lying.
"Okay, it wasn't exactly like the fairytales, the doctors had already pronounced you dead, your breathing tube was in the floor when we got there and it took a few seconds after he pulled away but you started breathing after he kissed you," Sango shrugged.
"Wow," Kagome speechless,
"Yeah, I'll see ya in the morning Kags," Sango pulling the covers over Kagome,
"Sango?" Kagome confused,
"Yeah?" Sango standing at the end of her bed,
"Who found Amaya?" Kagome asked.
"Sesshomaru, but you'll have to ask him all about it," Sango running off and shutting her door, Kagome growled, she thought of what Sango had just told her.
"Damn it, I've got to pee," Kagome throwing the covers off her, she wore a silk black night gown, one of Sango's, and attempted to make it to the bathroom on her own. She was still a little unstable on her legs since it had been three years she was up and moving around, halfway across the room her legs gave out and she collapsed to the floor with a thud.
