Chapter 2- that that…bast-!
*a little bit from last chapter- I leave my house and go and meet my awesome yet stinky friends who I in fact adore.*
I walk down the main street in Tokyo and of course as you can guess people were looking at me, some with disgust and most with smiles It seemed I became quite famous, even though they all thought I was homeless, there was a rumor going around how a young blonde maiden who was homeless would risk her life to help and save others, even if they were complete strangers,
I remember that day it was an adrenalin rush, a small boy was playing with a ball and had accidently kicked it to hard and it went into the street, the boy of course chased after it and didn't see the cars coming his way, then the boy seemed to see the cars and froze scared for his life, without even thinking I ran into the street grabbed the young boy and forcibly turning to make a dash to the sidewalk but before I could make it the car side swiped me and I didn't want him to get hurt so I turned and ended up landing hard on my back, letting out a semi-loud "ow" ignoring the pain in my back I looked down and saw that he was scared and was shaking I asked him what his name was and if he was okay,
he looked up and I noticed right away that the little boy I just saved was a fox demon, he looked at me with big scared green eyes and said that his name was Shippo and said he was okay, he asked me if I was okay and I was just about to respond when that-that bastard hit his brakes earing a loud "screech" sound and then reversed it and ran over my leg! I let out a very high pitch shriek at the sudden pain
The boy now known as Shippo flinched at the sudden high pitched sound, I had closed my eyes but before I did I noticed he flinched at the sound I felt bad but I couldn't help it, it hurt like a bitch, so I laid there in complete pain, I started focusing on my Miko powers towards my back first, because I think I might of broken something when I fell on the concrete, I wasn't sure, it was really quiet then I could hear an engine and then I could hear people screaming and yelling, I could hear glass being broken and people asking if I was okay, and that the "asshole/bastard" should be beaten to a pulp for his stupity, I couldn't answer I felt like I could talk,
Shippo told the stranger that was talking to me that I was having a hard time talking because of the pain, the person seemed to understand since I did just got ran over, then I could hear the sirens and the police, and people yelling saying that he tried to kill me, the police trying to keep order asked what happened and I could hear them all yelling that I had saved the young boy in my arms then the asshole side swiped me and then hit his brakes and then reversing and running me over and then he tried to doing it again but everyone who saw it
Dropped everything and started hitting and smashing his car and pulling him out and beating him up until he couldn't move, and explained that hitting me once on accident was one thing but doing it again on purpose was horrible and that they didn't care if they went to jail for assault,
When I woke up in the hospital, I noticed that I was in quite large room and that is when I noticed there was at least 50 people there waiting for me to wake up I stared shock at how many people were in the room, once one of the noticed I was awake he I think It was a he ran out of the room, my vision was still burry so I couldn't tell, doctors came rushing in and asking me if I was ok, the first things that popped out of my mouth was "what happened? And where is Shippo Is he ok?"
The moment I said his name he appeared and said "I'm here and I am okay" I gave a sigh of relief knowing he was okay, one of the many people explained to me what happened and I couldn't believe my ears, I close my eyes and open them and I could see many different faces, they all had worried expression, once of them came forward and informed me that they all had made sure the guy who did this to me paid for his actions and that he had no right to do that to a poor homeless girl who just saved a young boy from death
I could hear murmurs and then another stranger approached the doctors and says that he would gladly help pay for the cost, others seemed to agree and all 50 of the strangers (not counting Shippo) said they will all help, I was shocked I looked at the doctors and they all looked speechless one of them smiles warmly and says "well my word…In all the years I have been a nurse I have never met or seen so many people willing to help and pay for someone as injured as she is" she gives a slight pause before continuing and saying "you are all wonderful people" and then gives a bow and says "I will inform my supervisor, excuse me"
One of the other nurses turns towards me and says warmly "now that you are awake, could you please tell me your name?" I stare at her for a moment and think "shit…what the fuck am I supposed to tell her? That I am Kagome Higurashi? No…no I can't tell her that that would be bad…and then people will say and think that I am scamming them for money" I look at her and I say shyly…My name is Sapphire Kuro…" The nurse smiles and say "Sapphire Kuro you say?" I nod she smiles and says
"Miss Kuro how old are you?" I stare at her and glance towards the crowd of people I felt grateful for their help but I felt uneasy as well, she smiles and looks at the crowd of people and smiles warmly before saying I think it will be best if we let Miss Sapphire have some privacy, they all nod and smile and say their good byes and that they hope to see me again and if I need anything to let them know, I couldn't help but let the tears in my eyes fall and I say quietly "thank you everyone I-I am In all your debt" I wipe my eyes and I saw them all smile and one of them says "that they are happy to help and that they wouldn't be able to live with themselves if Shippo had passed away"
I nod as more tears fall, they all say their goodbyes for real this time and the nurse says that if they want to go home they can or if they wish to stay, to wait in the waiting room and then quickly says to me "it is standard information I have to ask" "ohh…" she seemed to notice that I wasn't use to people asking me questions, she smiles warmly and says softly "there is no need to rush or push yourself" I nod and say "…um I am 22" she nods again and continues to ask questions, I started feeling really tired and I started dozing off, it's not like I meant to it…she smiles again and says "ah well let me leave you be so you can rest, once you are ready I will come back" I give a small nod-ish motions and close my eyes and let sleep take over.
