Hey everyone! Back with another chapter! I'm back from Chicago and I'm trying very hard to update this and Saving Her. Sorry for the wait!

Chapter 11

Inu's P.O.V.

About an hour after taking Kagome to the hospital, the doctor finally came to me and told me I could go see her although she was still unconscious.

Not caring, I rushed to get in her room. As soon as I entered, I was met with the sight of Kagome's pale body lying on a hospital bed, chained up to several machines.

I gritted my teeth and immediately sat down beside her, taking her hand in mine. Her face looked frighteningly pale as I struggled to stay calm. Her breathing was even and deep.

'Mate hurt!' My inner demon was awakened and this was going to be the first thing it says to me?

'She's not my mate!' I argued back, feeling my face flush in embarrassment.

After a few minutes of arguing with myself, I heard Kagome's breathing quicken and her eyes fluttered open.

Her brown eyes wandered around the room for a while until she met my worried gaze. Her eyes focused.

"Inuyasha, where am I?" she asked.

I was so relieved and happy to hear her voice again, even though it was weak and shaky.

"You're in the hospital," I said gently, but I couldn't stop the bitterness that escaped my lips.

"Why?" Kagome asked. Didn't she remember what had happened?

Without even thinking I said, "That bastard, Naraku, almost killed you!" I yelled it out with venom seeping from my mouth.

"Wait…was Naraku the man who attacked me?" She looked at me for conformation but I guiltily looked away.

Her eyes sparked in slight panic. "You know who took me? How?" Her commanding voice made my ears flattened against my head.

Great. Just great. I just had to say that. Now she's probably going to hate me.

"Inuyasha," Kagome's voice took a warning tone as she looked at me. "How do you know him?"

I bit my bottom lip. The bloody memories flashed inside my head.

"It's a long story," I mumbled as I reluctantly lay back down her hand. She seemed to take no notice.

Kagome shook her head. "Tell me, please! I want to know."

Inuyasha winced. "He…when I was 10, my family and I went out to dinner…We were having such a fun time together...But that all changed when we where walking to our car to go home for the night." My voice cracked.

"I'm sorry Inuyasha," Kagome rushed to say and she placed her hand on mine. "You don't have to tell me if it's painful for you." I looked into her eyes and I could see that she knew what was coming.

I shook my head and looked at her and said, "No, you have a right to know."

I paused…then continued, ignoring the flashbacks in my head. "That's when he came up to us with a gun and demanded something about a jewel from my parents. Pushing my brother and me behind them, they said they didn't have it. But Naraku said they were lying. After about the third time asking for it and my parents denying they had it…he shot them."

I swallowed the lump in my throat, refusing to let Kagome see me in a sensitive state. "I was just 10 so I had no idea what to do. All I could do was watch my parent's bodies fall to the ground while my brother picked me up and ran to the nearest police station. That was my last memory of my parents."

Silence engulfed us.

"Inuyasha, I never knew. I'm so sorry. I had no idea," Kagome whispered. I sighed at her comforting tone.

"No, it's okay. But now that he has the jewel you have to be carful. Even though he got what he came for, he seems to have an interest in you now. He might come back to get you," I snarled.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. "Why…why do I have the jewel?"

I froze.

Right then the doctor came in and told me that I had to leave. Relieved but reluctant, I got up.

I smiled at her. "Right now, just worry about getting better."

She pouted but then smiled at me. Oh, how I love that smile.

"I'll come by tomorrow. Try to get better," I said.

"I will," she answered. "Oh and Inuyasha?"

I looked back at her.

"Thank you," she said. "For saving me, I mean."

I blushed, "No problem."

And with that said I left, suddenly thinking:

'Oh God…Sango's going to kill me.'
