The following days went by in a blur. It wasn't until that Wednesday that Kagome recieved the bad news. The news that can shatter her everything, the news that can end that feeling, and the news that can make the pain catch up with her.
The phone rang, once, twice, thrice. Souta lazily picked it up.
"Higurashi residence, how may I help you?" said Souta.
"Ummmm, can I talk to Kagome?" asked the voice on the other line.
"Okay, hold on a sec."claimed Souta.
"Kagome, the phone's for you!" yelled Souta.
Kagome stood up from her desk and streched, she rubbed her eyes, then ran downstairs. You could hear the pounding of her feet, as they shuffled down the steps.
Kagome grabbed the phone from Souta's hands.
"Hello?" answered Kagome.
"Kagome, this is Hojo's mom." the voice on the other line announced.
The two talked for about 30 minutes, after Kagome hung up the phone, tears started streaming down her face. She ran up stairs and slammed the door shut. She couldn't sleep for the night, Hojo's mom just told her that Hojo was in the intensive care unit. He had a car accident, his car hit an 18-wheeler truck. As the night progressed, she called Inuyasha, desperate for some comfort and some comepany. In addition, she also called Miroku and Sango, so that made it a little get together.
They all came over at about 3 in the morning, Inuyasha first, then Sango and Miroku. They found Kagome lying down on her bed, sobbing.
"Sango, Ho...jo's in...ICU" said Kagome between sobs.
"Oh, Kagome." said Sango, hugging Kagome.
The two guys just sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the girls. Reluctantly, Miroku and Inuyasha hugged both girls. Trying to comfort them in any way possible. Miroku, Inuyasha, Kagome, and Sango stayed in that position for the rest of the night. No one uttered a word, the silence was almost deafening, Inuyasha looked at Kagome's angelic face and realized that she was fast asleep. Then he remembered that he too once fell asleep on her, his smile glowed like a thousand stars. He tapped Miroku and Sango and told them to lie down on Kagome's bed, it was a super king size, so he was pretty sure they would all fit. He was in the far left, then Kagome, then Sango, and MIroku on the far right. They all slept soundly, until Kags' alarm went off.
Pissed, Inuyasha threw the poor alarm clock at the innocent wall. The alarm clock stopped whinning and died, the alarm clock did leave a dent in the wall though.
