A young man lay in a hospital bed, his hair making a silver cloud around his head and upper torso. The crisp white sheet was pulled down to his waist leaving his chest bare. His chest muscles rippled every time he breathed in and out. Two silver locks of his hair rested on his muscular chest. The young mans arms lay limply at his sides. Both of them were scared badly. His face was smooth and pale. His long lashes cast shadows over his strong cheek bones, and his silver bangs fell across his fore head. On top of his head was this mans strangest, yet finest fetcher. On top of his thick silky main was two silver dog hears.

The dog hears twitched to every sound in the cramped hospital room where two beds were pushed close together so that they where almost touching. When people came to near the other bed in the hospital room the young man would bare his fangs and growl. The young man started to wake. His eye lids started to twitch, and his fingers moving absently moved over the crisp white sheet. Long claws left little holes in the fragile material.

Inu-yasha slowly opened his eye, but closed them instantly. He didn't want to be alive. He couldn't be alive. It just wasn't fare that he liver and his Kagome was gone from the world…… what was that smell? Inu-yasha turned his head a little to the left, still not opening his eyes. It couldn't be………… It just couldn't be…..

Kagome………

He new that sent, knew it all to well. Kagome was in this room with him…. But she couldn't be. She was gone. She had left the world, left him. The agony swelled in his chest. Inu-yasha slowly lifted his lashes to reveal his golden broken eyes. They were so empty and distant. Inu-yasha looked up at the white selling. Inu-yasha heard laughter from some where in the hospital, he snarled silently at the thought of anyone being happy in the world when Kagome was gone.

Inu-yasha signed brokenly and stopped breathing completely. He had seen something. Inu-yasha turned his head slowly his heart pounding so hard that he heard its eco in his head like a drum. He could barely believe his eyes. In the other bed lay Kagome. Her ebony hair, spread out like black icky wings. Her face was like pale silk. He couldn't in all his life remember ever seeing something so beautiful, and yet so sad. Kagome lay there look in like a fallen angel.

Inu-yasha scrambled off of the bed, ignoring the pain in his body. His heart was nearly fling out of his chest from the happiness. Kagome was alive! Inu-yasha ran the short distance to her bed side. The floor cooled against his bare feet, and his practically naked body shivering from the cold air. But none of that mattered to Inu-yasha. Nothing but the fact that Kagome was alive. He sank to knees at her bed side and let his head fall on to her arm that rested at her side.

He looked up at her face. It was the most beautiful thing in the whole world to Inu-yasha. Kagome……. He couldn't believe she was alive. She had a couple bruises on her arms but she looked like she was ok. Inu-yasha's eyes burned, tears welled up in his eyes. Soon they where falling down his cheeks in unchecked rivers. He rubbed his face against her arm. She was a live! He is heart was doing cart wells in his chest. Inu-yasha slowly got up and crawled on to the bed. Inu-yasha went to his knees on her bed. He gently cupped her face in his clawed hands. He bent his head down close to hers.

" Kagome…. Can you hear me? Kagome open your eye's. Talk to me, tell I'm an me an idiot…." His voice broke. More tears fell faster down his face. He stroked her face gently with his clawed hand. How could some one be so cute. He wondered. He couldn't fathom it.

Inu-yasha couldn't take his eyes off of her face. Her midnight black bangs fell across her for head, and Inu-yasha gently brushed them away. Her smooth porcelain face was warm and silky to the touch. He shuddered at the feel of her skin under his finger tips. Inu-yasha felt ashamed that he was having these thoughts about her while she lay defenseless. He though about trying again.

" Kagome…. Can you hear me? I wish you would just open your eyes and look at me……. Just open those big blue eyes of yours." Inu-yasha begged her softly. He stroked her face with his thumb again. He just wish she would talk to him, look at him. Just so that she would know she was truly with him and this was not some dream. Inu-yasha gently took one of his hands away from her face and placed it on her neck. He sighed in relief. She had a good strong pulse. He felt an odd surge in his gut. Her pulse was beating in to his hand. The sheet was stretched over her breasts, her bare arms were out over the covers. Kagome's hair was spread out like a inky cloud. Inu-yasha felt a jerk around his navel. He shook his head. He couldn't think about this at this moment.

" Inu-yasha your awake." a deep voice said. Inu-yasha's head jerked up and towed the sound of the voice. There in the hospital rooms door frame was his father. He stood there with his silver hair was pulled back in to his usual long pony tail. His expressive golden eyes just like his were filled with tears. His father hurried over to the bed, his feet making a soft patter, patter sound on the floor. Inu-yasha got of the bed and stood strait, and hurried over to his father meeting him half way.

He didn't care if people thought he was childish as he embraced his father. He needed comfort. His dads arms were strong and an in his world it was the support that he needed at the moment. He felt like he was a kid again and that every thing was right in the world. Inu-yasha tightened his arms around his father before he let go. Inu-yashio stepped back and wiped away his tears and gave a strangled laugh.

" Look at your old man, son. Crying like a baby. Oh, Inu-yasha I and your mother have been so worried about you two. The doctors said you'd be alright. That you both just needed to heal from your wounds. I have missed you so. You and Kagome. And your mother was so worried, I thought she would track holes in to our floor from her pacing." Inu-yashio gave a weak laugh and hugged Inu-yasha again.

" Dad I'm sorry I made you guys worry. Dad….. Do you know what the doctors say about Kagome? Will she be alright?" Inu-yasha asked. His eyes imploring his father to say she was alright. Inu-yashio smiled at his son softly.

" She was in pain this morning, but she didn't wake so the doctors gave her a sleep medicine. They say that she's suppose to wake up in about an hour or so. She will be fine Inu-yasha don't you worry." Inu-yashio told his son, looking down at him even the was a young man he was still shorter then him. He would grow bigger some day. His son was a man to be proud of. Already in love, it was enough to bring a father to his knees to see his son so happy.

Inu-yashio watched as his son walked over to Kagome's bed and sat down like a little puppy waiting for its master to come home after a long vacation. His ears were perked up, and were curved in a way that made it seemed like his undivided attention was on the young lady laying on the bed. Inu-yashio knew that it was so. He pulled out his cell phone and called home to tell his mate that their little boy was up and that she needed to bring him some cloths. They couldn't have the girl waking up to find Inu-yasha sitting on her bed in nothing but hospital pants.

" Hello?" Lilly picked up. Inu-yashio smiled, he couldn't help smiling when ever he lessoned to her voice.

" Hello honey. I called you to tell you that Inu-yasha woke up." He told her. Lilly gave a little squeak and gave a small little hiccup.

" Is he alright? How's Kagome? Can I talk to my baby?" She asked hurriedly. Inu-yashio chuckled softy.

" One at a time if you please. Yes Inu-yasha is ok. He's doing fine. Kagome is still a sleep but will be awake soon. Yes you can talk to Inu-yasha. Right now he's sitting on her bed in nothing up the hospital green pants…. And his hairs a complete mess." he told her softly. Lilly dissolved in to a fit of laughter.

" So I have to bring my grown son some cloths, do I?" She asked throw her laughter.

" Yep, I would say so. Just like when he was little. Always forgetting every thing, but when he said he'd meet his little girl friend Kagome." Inu-yashio laughed. Yep it was just like the old days.

" Well I will see what I can find for him. He left some of his cloths over here when he moved out. And I will stop at a store and pick up Kagome some loss fitting cloths as well, she will hurt still and jeans will hurt her. I think some sweat pants and a pajama shirt will be the best for her. Oh, Inu-yashio our worriers are coming back to us, aren't they? I have missed them so much Inu-yashio." Lilly asked softly.

" Yes my love their coming back. And you might want to pick up some noodles on your way here to. Knowing them they will need it. I swear there black holes when it comes to that stuff. I can't see were they put it. Well I will let you talk to Inu-yasha. See you soon." Inu-yashio said.

He walked over and handed the phone to Inu-yasha who didn't take his eyes from Kagome's face. He put the phone by his ear.

" Hello mother. How are you?" Inu-yasha asked softly as his father sat down on his abandoned bed.

" I'm just fine Inu-yasha. Oh, sweaty we have been so worried about you two. I cant weight to see you. I hear I have to bring you both cloths. Just like you both to forget to pack cloths. Soooo…… when can I expect my grand children?" she asked in a sly voice. Inu-yasha blanched and turned red.

" M…mother!" He sputtered. " We haven't gone out on a date! You've got to be joking! Kagome don't like me like that!" Inu-yasha stammered.

" I think I know what I'm talking about. So I'll pick you both up some cloths before I stop by. Will I? I'll talk to you later. Bye Inu-yasha." Lilly hung up. Inu-yasha lowed the phone and stared at it. Did he hear right? Before she had hung up on him he had herd her mutter something about knitting baby sweaters. Inu-yasha went a deeper shade of scarlet.

By the sound of his fathers deep laughter, he had herd every word with his demon hearing. Inu-yasha put his head down and shook it. His mother. He would never under stand women. Never. Inu-yasha laced his fingers with Kagome's, silently he waited for her to wake up. He brought her hand to his lips, forgetting that his father was there, and kissed her hand gently.

Inu-yashio watched this display of affection with a pounding heart. His son was so in love. It shone throw every jester that he had made towed the girl. It was a proud moment in the life of a father to see his child so desperately in love.

Inu-yasha's heart was beating wildly Kagome was going to wake. She had all of her memories of him and she was going to be his friend again. He got nervous, should he asker out on a date? He loved her so much and knew that she was the only one he could see marring and having a family with, that had always been his dream. To have a family with Kagome. To have her love him back. That was what he wished for most. But how could a girl, no, women want anything to do with a half- breed? Let alone marry him and have his children? Should he ask her? Or should he keep his silence and hope for just a friend ship?
