I just want to prepare you readers for future chapters. If you've noticed the Genre is Friendship/ hurt/comfort. You will probably be on the edge of your seat a lot But I assure you everything is O.K. :) Please Enjoy this Chapter.
" Oooh. InuYasha, I don't think I can do this..." Kagome said as he tied her ribbon on the back of her costume.
" Sure you can Kagome." InuYasha reassured her pushing back his monocle on his right eye. This play went back to when Monocles were in style obviously. InuYasha adjusted her 'angel' wings so they weren't slanting.
" But I have more lines then you do! I'm going to forget my lines and freak out and run off the stage, pass out on the ground and die."
" Kagome, that's a worst case scenario... Chances are that wont happen. I got your back if you need help anyways."
" Hm?"
" Alright class everyone get ready it's about to begin!" Mrs. Amunelite called out. " Everyone is seated!"
InuYasha wished Kagome luck and Went out on stage, holding Shiori's hand. Shiori was in a pink Victorian dress and held a parasol above her head. InuYasha could tell she was blushing. Was she nervous? Or was it just the fact that they were holding hands? InuYasha took a seat near the fireplace prop and pretended like he was reading a really good novel. In his head he was really think... ' who reads this trash! There is like... 400 pages! No pictures!'
Shiori scanned the crowd with a blank face waiting for Nadine to come on stage. Nadine was in a red and gold Victorian dress fanning herself as she walked on stage. She glared at InuYasha while making her way over to Shiori.
" You came."
" Yes, I have the medicine you requested to make your husband better."
" It'll make him better?"
" Your exact words were ' a medicine that will make him feel no pain.'"
" Very well. I'll be running to the Market."
" Take your time." She smirked evilly covering it with her fan.
Shiori exited off stage leaving InuYasha and Nadine on stage.
" Mr. Marhime."
He just sent her a look.
" I'll just be giving you a shot for the pain of course."
He waved her over and pulled up his sleeve. Nadine pretended to inject him with a fake syringe. InuYasha gripped his throat and fell on the floor sticking his tongue out making the audience giggle. Nadine turned her attention to the audience and laughed evilly making an exit. Kagome came out on stage holding a sign up that said ' One Hour Later.' then walked off the stage. Shiori came back with a bag putting everything on the table and noticed her husband, Master Marhime... was dead.
" No!" She cried. No one had ever heard her voice so loud before. She got on her knees by his lying body.
InuYasha felt warm tears splash on his a face. ' Is she actually crying!'
' She's a really good actress.'
Kagome came back on stage while the scene changed to a dark screen, with Shiori crying in a corner. InuYasha got up looking at the angel.
" It's time for me to leave now?" He asked.
" Yes, I'm sorry Master Marhime. Bad things seem to always happen to good people."
InuYasha nodded and walked off stage. As the play went on InuYasha took off his monocle and Victorian clothes. He dashed off the stage running into His teacher.
" InuYasha. Where are you going?"
" If it's okay with you I'd like to watch the rest of the play in the audience with my mom. I don't have anymore parts."
" Oh alright. Just make sure you are back on stage 2 minutes before the play ends so you can be in the curtain call."
InuYasha nodded and found his way to the auditorium sitting next to his mom.
" Baby you did so good." She said pinching his cheeks.
" Mom... I had one line."
" Still, one line can become something big."
" Mom, you give really good advice and motivation to people."
" That's why I'm a therapist, and I know best."
InuYasha laughed and decided to watch the play. Kanna was a chibi looking tear drop that was wandering around the stage. The play was also a musical. Lots of the ' rain drops' mouthed the wrong words not really knowing what to sing. He found that hilarious. They've been practicing this song forever in Music class and they still didn't know it! After they all stopped singing everyone cheered. It could have been a ' thank you lord they stopped singing! ' cheer or a ' aww so cute! Good try! ' kind of cheer. It was almost time for Kagome to get back on stage so InuYasha looked on the ground for something.
" Mom? Did you bring my Poster?"
" Yes, It's under My seat." Izayoi picked up a white poster board that was very colorful. InuYasha held it and continued to watch the play.
Kagome came back on stage talking to ' mizu ' or Kanna.
" Tears are meant to be fallen Mizu..."
" But I feel so lost without a host. Where will I go now?"
' WHAT!' Kagome thought to her self. Wasn't... wasn't this where the play was supposed to end. Oh look her prediction was coming true. The dizziness wasn't expected though. Kagome could feel the blood rush up to her face in true embarrassment and her heart throbbing in her chest.
' that's my cue...' InuYasha said holding up the sign in the back row so no one could see. They were the words to her last line in big bold letters. InuYasha twitched his ears trying to get her attention ' Come on Kagome, look over here... Look at the pretty doggy. Ugh...'
" uh- angel? Where ever will I go now?"
Kagome saw someone jumping up and down with a poster board that said Kagome! And: ' Wherever you wish Mizu.'
" uh... Wherever you wish Mizu...?" She said more like a question. " OH! Wherever you wish to be Mizu. It's up to you." Kagome smiled into the audience.
InuYasha dropped the poster and ran back to the back of the stage slipping back into his costume and sticking his monocle back on. Shiori and Kanna had a few more lines to say to finish off the play so Kagome got off seeing InuYasha and glomping him.
" Kago-"
" Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Kagome said. " I would've made a fool of myself if you hadn't had that poster."
" OH dear Kami! NO PDA!" Mrs. Amunelite lectured tearing Kagome off of InuYasha.
Kagome blushed putting her hand on her cheek. " My fault... sorry." InuYasha just laughed.
" Come on you two, everyone's ready for curtain call."
Everyone made their appearance back on stage all holding hands, lifting up their arms and taking a bow. This caused InuYasha to loose his monocle.
" Whoospies.." he said picking it back up making Kagome laugh. The audience gave a standing ovation, flashing pictures, cheering, some dramatic parents were even crying. Kagome hugged InuYasha thanking him. But how had she missed that last line? How would he had known that she was going to screw up? InuYasha was a Mystery to her most certainly.
InuYasha took Kagome up in a tree that night sitting on the edge of the branch. Kagome was looking around scared to death.
" You don't like it up here?"
" It's amazing but we are so high up."
" I always come up when it's night."
" Inu? How did you know?"
" Know what?"
" That I was going to forget my line."
" I know you, and you forget to look on the back-side of a two-sided page."
" Yeah that does happen a lot. I can't thank you enough."
" Okay I get it Kagome. Your welcome."
" You did pretty well."
" I'll tell you the same thing I told my mom... I had one line."
" Still."
" You guys are so a like."
" I'm getting a little cold. Can we go back inside now?" Kagome said standing a little.
" Sure. Be careful getting down."
" I'll be fine."
Kagome made it down one tree branch quite satisfied with herself. Tat is until she saw a huge stink bug in her vision. Kagome screeched falling backwards and losing her balance.
" KAGOME!" InuYasha called reaching to grab her hand but he wasn't quick enough. InuYasha put his hands over his eyes and pinned his ears to his head waiting for an expecting scream.
Kagome landed on her side feeling a crunch in her arm. After a few seconds her brain responded to the intense pain in her arm and gave out a piercing scream.
" Mama! I want my Mama!" She cried her face already getting soaked with tears. InuYasha got on the ground safely and helped Kagome up.
" Kagome I'm so sorry!"
She gave no response but continued to cry.
InuYasha guided her into his house calling out to his dad. His mother was currently at work.
" DAD! Kagome's hurt!"
InuTaisho ran downstairs concerned. " What! What's wrong." He came over to Kagome kneeling placing a hand on her shoulder.
" My arm! I want to go home!"
" She fell when she was trying to get down the tree and-"
" InuYasha! You know climbing trees is dangerous! How could you let her go up there!" He barked at his son. " We have to get her to the hospital."
InuYasha frowned stepping out of his father's way. InuTaisho grabbed his Porsche's keys. (An:/ He has a lot of cars )
The ride to hospital was quiet between InuYasha and his father although Kagome was still in immense pain.
InuTaisho signed in Kagome to see a doctor quickly filling out the necessary questions.
" Are you allergic to anything kagome?"
" Not that I no of."
" Alright."
InuYasha had a dazed look the whole time. He hurt his best friend. How could that show that she was his best friend if he had caused her pain. That isn't friendship. Her mom specifically told them not to go up in the trees many times but he didn't listen. That's what he gets for being stubborn. InuTaisho called Mrs. Higurashi and let her know what happened. She arrived moments later.
" Kagome! Sweetie are you alright!" She rushed into the waiting room by her daughter's side.
" Yeah... My arm hurts bad though. Make the pain stop."
" Kagome I told you not to go climbing up in the trees! Why didn't you listen to me!"
" Don't yell at her. It was my fault..." InuYasha admitted, shocking Kagome. She knew it hadn't been his fault. He told her they should just go inside but she insisted on seeing the city from up in the tree.
" Inu... It wasn't-"
" Higurashi, Kagome?" A nurse called out.
" We got it from here InuTaisho. Thank you for calling me." Mrs. Higurashi said getting up.
" Certainly. Give us an update once you leave the hospital."
" Of course."
" Bye Inu." Kagome waved but received no sign that he had heard her.
" Come on InuYasha it's time to go."
As they walked out of the hospital InuYasha got one glance at Kagome as she walked in the double doors with the nurse.
" Ouch." The nurse said examining Kagome's arm. " From one to ten. How bad does it hurt? Ten being the worst." She asked getting a syringe to hopefully ease the pain a little. She had heard Kagome screaming in the waiting room earlier.
" a nine."
" Alright I've called to have you get an X-ray done while I examine you. Can you tell me what happened Kagome?"
" Me and my friend InuYasha were in a tree, oh he's a half demon so he helped me up easily, anyways, it go cold so I wanted to go inside and was climbing down. I saw a giant bug in my eye sight and jumped out of my skin falling backwards. So, Mama it wasn't his fault!"
The nurse nodded and took notes standing up and asked Kagome to step on the scale.
" Alright I need to see how much you weigh."
" Mrs. Higurashi? Has she gotten her period yet? I understand this doesn't have anything to do with her arm but we are permitted to know."
" Certainly not. She is only seven!"
" I know but studies show that girls are getting their's earlier in their childhood so we just have to make sure. Alright Kagome looks like your sixty three pounds. Now if you step over here I want to see how tall you are."
Kagome walked over grunting. Hello! She had an injured arm and here they are wasting time asking her stupid questions!
After jotting more notes down about Kagome she handed her a hospital gown that was a kid's size.
" Hop into this Kagome, take everything off but your underwear. After your done with the X-ray the Orthopedist will have a look at your arm and see what needs to be done. Something is indeed wrong with the bone but we need to make sure if it's just a fracture, a broken bone, or even twisted."
" Twisted!"
" Yes if bones are twisted uncomfortably surgery needs to be done to place it back into the correct spot. I doubt it's that though seeing as it doesn't look too bad so there is no need to worry." She smiled and stepped out of the room.
Kagome removed her jacket, shirt and pants and put on the hospital gown. Mrs. Higurashi tied the back for her. After waiting a few minutes the X-ray Technologist walked in, clip board in hand.
" Hello I'm Dr. Hannon. I'll be taking Kagome's X-rays this evening." A tall slender female doctor said shaking both of their hands. " If you'll come with me Kagome. Mrs. Higurashi you can wait in here if you want, we will be back in about 5 minutes."
" Alright."
Dr. Hannon took Kagome through many hall ways until they finally made it to a locked door. Once they got in Kagome was shocked at the setting inside. It was really dark in the room with a beach theme. There was a comfy looking examine table in the middle of the small room. Kagome could acutally hear the ocean being played on a small radio. ( An:/ When I went to the doctor for abdominal pains they took me into an X-ray room like this. I never pictured it to look like that...)
" I hear the ocean."
" Mhmm. We use all of this to keep a patient relaxed and calm."
" It's working. I feel like taking a nap."
Dr. Hannon giggled and motioned for Kagome to stand near the exam table up against the wall. She played a protection material over Kagome's body so she wouldn't be harmed by the radiation in the room.
" Alright Kagome. I'm going to take a few pictures of your arm and I want you to hold your arm out right in the targeted area." Dr. Hannon requested stepping into a smaller room that could only fit one person. Kagome looked on the wall and saw a projected target placing her arm over it.
Dr. Hannon was quick taking the picture.
" Alright Kagome, I'll show you back to your mom. After the Radiologist take's a look at the X-rays we will be ready to tell you the next step. Your doing good so far kiddo."
They easily made it back to the room. Dr. Hannon said goodbye and left. About two minutes later a youkai doctor came in. His skin was a beautiful teal.
" Hello. I'm Dr. Kado. Your Orthopedist."
" Hi." Kagome said shyly.
" Now not like this is big news but Kagome has broken one of the bones in her arm, the radius bone in your left arm is indeed broken. It'll require her to wear a plaster cast for maybe... I'd say about six weeks. Now are you right handed or left handed?"
" Right."
" Okay good. Now we have a few colors you can choose from, this is one of the fun parts when breaking a bone." Dr. Kado joked. " Then you can go back to school and have friends sign it."
" Okay."
" Let's see... we have black, blue, pink, purple, orange, red. uh..."
" Pink!"
" That colors seems to be very popular with my female patients."
Dr. Kado got the exact measurements of Kagome's arm and ordered a pink plaster cast for her.
After the long wait Dr. Kado wrapped up her arm extra tight. " Now Kagome, it's important not to get your cast wet. If it is it could affect the repair of your arm and we would have to take it off and replace it which is time consuming. " Now for showers have your mom wrap your arm in a plastic bag and tape it with water proof tape okay?" He said to Mrs. Higurashi who nodded. " After that, repeat the prosess with another plastic bag. When your taking a shower try to stick your arm away from the running water as possible. Come back in six weeks so we can remove it and if there is any problems just come back."
" Thank you Doctor."
Dr. Kado shook their hands and patted Kagome on the shoulder as she was exiting.
" Take it easy Kagome. You're only human."
Kagome nodded but for some reasons those words stuck in her head. She was only human. She wasn't cool and bionic like InuYasha appeared. This saddened Kagome. InuYasha didn't realize all the wonderful things he could do in this world being a hanyou. He really did get the best of both worlds. Why was it so hard for him to accept when other people would kill to have some of the powers that he had.
Kagome brushed her teeth and carefully changed into her pajamas while her mother talked on the phone with Mrs. Higurashi. Kagome climbed into bed turning on her pink hello kitty television. " Stupid stink bug..." Kagome sighed closing her eyes and drifting into sleep.
~ With InuYasha~
" Ugh! It's all my fault!" He cried clutching his head with his claws. Izayoi rubbed his arm trying to comfort him.
" InuYasha, whenever someone gets hurt you always blame yourself!"
" But It was my fault! Mrs. Higurashi told us not to go up in the tree but we didn't listen and went up anyways!"
" InuYasha."
" Hm..."
" Do you want to go visit her? I know it's a little late but Mrs. Higurashi said it was okay."
" Yes."
~ With Kagome.
" Kagome... sweetie wake up." All Kagome saw was darkness but she could hear the calming voice of her mother. Moaning, Kagome opened her eyes a little.
" Yeah mama?"
" You have someone that wants to see you." Mrs. Higurashi looked at the door and stood up. " I';; leave you two alone." She left the room.
InuYasha poked his head into her room and again hid on the side of her door.
" Inu!" Kagome laughed. " Come here!"
InuYasha shuffled into her room very slowly. He stood on the other side of her room.
" Closer..."
" No."
" Why not?" Kagome frowned.
" I might hurt you." He said looking away.
Kagome sighed and got out of bed skipping over to him scaring him. " Fine then I will!"
" Are...are you okay now?"
" Yep! The doctors were really nice. It hardly hurts anymore!"
" That's good. I'm sorry... It's my fault."
" No it isn't. InuYasha if you say it is I will slap you. I talked you into letting me into the tree so it is my fault and I payed the consequences."
" Yeah and my family is paying for your damaging."
" R-really? But InuYasha!"
" You were damaged on their property. It wouldn't be very nice if we made your mother pay.
" I...guess that makes sense. I just don't want you to hold it against you."
" Whenever someone gets hurt I just tend to think of a reason to blame it on me. Hey I got you a little something so you can get better."
InuYasha stepped out of the room and pushed a HUGE gift bag in front of Kagome.
Kagome starred at it with wide eyes. ' This is a little... I wonder what he calls a big gift.' Kagome opened the gift bag and pulled out a big white Akita stuffed animal that said ' get well and I'm SORRY!'
Kagome smiled. " I love it."
" There's more."
Kagome giggled and picked up yet another object from the bag. Their was a get well card and purple iris flowers. They smelled great!
" Wow this is-"
" Oh and a balloon." InuYasha interrupted snatching a balloon that was hiding outside the room and offering it to her. " Kagome no matter what you say I still am-"
Kagome rushed over to him and gave him a tight hug. " The most best friend ever... I know. Thank you InuYasha."
" Huh? That wasn't really what I was going to say but... okay."
Kagome released him and grabbed a sharpie. " Sign my cast?"
" Of Course."
I hope you liked this chapter. I had to do some research which is why it was a little late getting updated. The next few chapters will be focusing on InuYasha and Kagome in their middle school years. I haven't decided what grade they will be in necessarily but you know once I update the chapter. I've covered all the important stuff I wanted to happen in their elementary years so :') Please continue reading and please leave a review. Expect a new chapter in 2 days.
