Ch 7 – The Plan

Miroku pulled up to the hospital and got out, Sango followed him in. They went up to Kagome's room and walked in slowly. "Is she still asleep?" He asked in a hushed tone.

"She woke up earlier, she fell right back to sleep though." Inuyasha said looking up at them then back to Kagome.

"She looks awful" Sango said sitting down in a vacant chair. Miroku sat next to her and they all just watched Kagome lay there, listening to the beeps of the machines around her.

Kaede walked in a little while later, "I have her results. She is really banged up but has no infections or diseases." Kaede walked over to the machines and looked at them all, making sure everything was as it should be. She turned to Inuyasha "Remember that little girl I told you about? The one who was also named Kagome?" Inuyasha nodded "This is that little girl."

Inuyasha looked at Kagome then back to Kaede, "But how? You said she died in an accident."

"That's what we all thought, that's what we have on record. I remember that day vaguely, I was friends with Mr. and Mrs. Higurashi, they were so excited to take their daughter on her first fishing trip. I used to babysit Kagome for them all the time. They left that morning and never returned. Authorities went out to find them and they found the ship wrecked. They found the bodies of the Mr. and Mrs. Higurashi but all they found of Kagome was her clothes, they looked ripped and tattered as if she had been attacked. They determined it was a shark attack and pronounced the entire family deceased. Somehow, Kagome survived, how she got into the hands of this monster, I don't know."

Kagome began to stir in her sleep, "I think we should let her rest," Kaede began

Miroku and Sango stood up to follow her out of the room

"I'm staying" Inuyasha said. Kaede nodded and walked out with Sango and Miroku.

"The cafeteria is down stairs." She said as she turned to walk to the nurses room.

"Are you hungry?" Miroku asked Sango

"A little." They went down and got some food and sat at a table just the two of them. "So what all happened?" Sango asked. Miroku told her about how Inuyasha found her one day and promised to bring her food and she stopped coming. He told her about how Inuyasha came to get him from the fields and about the fight that happened when they rescued her. "Wow, I feel so bad for her."

Miroku looked down at his food "I do too, it's amazing she is still alive…"

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-..-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Inuyasha was sitting there watching Kagome, he didn't know if she would ever be okay, but at least she was safe. Kagome began to stir again and he watched her quietly unsure if she was waking up or having a nightmare. Her eyes slowly opened and he smiled "Hey Kagome."

She looked around, where was she? Oh right, the hospital. She slowly sat up and looked at Inuyasha and gave him a weak smile.

"Are you hungry?" Inuyasha asked Kagome looked down at her stomach and nodded. Inuyasha pushed the nurse's button and Kaede came in. "Kagome's awake and she said she's hungry." He told her.

"Alright I'll be right back with a tray of food, do you want anything Inuyasha?" She asked

He shook his head and turned his attention back to Kagome. He took her hand and smiled at her. "I'm glad you're awake.

Kaede returned a few minutes later with a tray of food and Miroku and Sango following her. "Kagome, I have some soup for you" She said, Miroku and Sango came in and sat down. Kaede turned to Inuyasha "I will let you tell them the plan" She said stepping out of the room. Kagome began to eat the soup on the tray in front of her.

"Okay, so we are leaving from here to our house to pack." Inuyasha said looking at Miroku "We are to start traveling, we are just going to keep moving until Kaede tells us that this man is taken care of." He looked at Kagome, "Kagome, I need you to tell Kaede as much as you can about your godfather. We are going to make sure you are safe." He looked to Miroku and Sango "Are you coming with us Sango?" Sango nodded "Alright, but this isn't going to be some road trip. We are literally on the run from this guy. Don't tell anyone your real names as we travel. Make sure we can't be traced anywhere we go." Miroku and Sango nodded. Kagome looked at them confused. Inuyasha looked back at her "Kagome this is Miroku, my friend and this is Sango, my boss's daughter."

"Hi" Sango said smiling at her.

Kagome looked nervously at them both and then gave them a small smile and said "Hello"

Kaede came into the room and said "Did Inuyasha let y'all know the plan?" they all nodded, she then walked over and sat by Kagome "What can you tell me about your godfather?"

Kagome shuddered thinking of him. "His name is Naraku. He said he was best friends with my mom and that he was my godfather. That's really all I know."

Kaede froze looking at her "Naraku you said?" Kagome nodded and Kaede continued "This is bad, he was not your mother's best friend. He tried to date her but she wasn't interested. He began to stalk her. She had to get a restraining order on him." Kagome shook "We won't let him hurt you anymore, I promise." Kaede said touching the top of her head.

Kagome finished her soup "When can we leave?" She asked looking at Kaede

"As soon as you feel ready" She said.

Kagome looked at everyone in the room "Are y'all ready?"

Inuyasha stood up "We're ready if you are." He helped her out of bed and they went to check out.
