A RAINY SEPTEMBER


CHAPTER FOURTEEN-HIS CONDITION

SUMMARY-

Her whole life, Kagome has been made fun of by everyone. Her first friend was a boy named InuYasha, but now that they're 15 they don't talk. No one, not even InuYasha, knows of Kagome's secret life. She sings her heart out every now and then and she also works at her uncle's club, with five of her friends(Two guys and Three girls), so she can help earn money to get her grandfather out of the hospital.


STORY-


"Kagome...Why don't you take the day off...Go see him..."

Uncle said when he saw his niece walking around the empty club in a daze as she cleaned.

All her friends nodded their heads, agreeing with him and, after a long time of arguing, finally Kagome gave up.

She grabbed her dark gray jacket and put it on, along with the hood, before she grabbed her bag and flung the strap over her shoulder and across her chest.

"I'll see you guys later then..."

She whispered quietly and walked outside and put her headphones in, right as the song Here Comes Goodbye by Rascal Flatts came on the radio.

"Yo, Kagome! Look what I just bought!"

Kaname said as he patted his new Kawasaki 250.

She nodded her head and just kept on walking, not really hearing what he had just said.

Kagome finally stopped walking when she was in front of the hospital.

She waited a few minutes before she took a deep breathe and walked inside.

The girl at the front desk greeted her with a smile as she walked by.

Again...She just nodded her at the girl.

When she stepped into the elevator and pressed the 6th Floor button, the door almost closed when a pale hand stopped it.

She looked up boardly and saw Sesshomaru and Kaname.

"Hey..."

She whispered from her corner but was ignored.

Kaname stood next to her and Sesshomaru on the other corner.

He was about to the press the 6th Floor button but saw it was already lit.

"So Kagom...Why did you just ditch work today?"

Kaname asked as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"I didn't...Uncle gave me the day off so I could come see him..."

The elevator ride became quiet...and awkward...

Kagome wanted it to end so she reached into her bag and handed Sesshomaru a cigarette.

"Why would I want this?"

He asked coldly with a little attetude...But only recieved the finger.

"Shove it up the butt, Ice Prick. Now we're even."

Kagome said before she turned to Kaname as the elevator doors opened.

"So...When are you going to tell me where my father is? We have a deal. You break your end...And I break mine."

She spoke with anger in her voice.

He gulped and nodded his head.

"I'll tell you soon. When we go to your house today, I'll tell you. But You can't let your mom find out that I know. She would totally kill me, dude!"

Kaname said with panic in his voice as the three walked out of the elevator.

"Oh, grow up will you Kaname? You're not five anymore?"

"Are you sure about that? I mean...Do you even know how old I am?"

Kagome though for a moment before she smirked.

"Of course I do...You're ten years old."

He gave her a look that said 'are you really that retarded?'

"Why would you say I'm that young, I'm Seventeen!"

He yelled and ran into Kagome's back.

Her hand was on the doorknob but it wouldn't move.

Sesshomaru saw this and rolled his eyes at her.

He walked over to the two and when he opened the door Kagome got a look of horror on her face.

Her granfather was lying in the hospital bed, hucked up to all kinds of machines and tubes.

She gasped and ran out of the room and into the hallway.

"Kagome? Kagome! What's wrong?"

'Oh my god...I can't believe...I never...Oh god...I'm so sorry gramps...'

When Kaname heard that, his eyes softened and he held Kagome as she cried her eyes out.

'I was so scared...I thought...He's fine though...I can't believe it...'

"It's okay, Kagome. Come on...I'm sure gramps would like to see you when he wakes up..."

He said gently and helped Kagome off of the ground.

She nodded her head and followed him quietly into the room.

The room next door, Kagome saw Sesshomaru standing over a beautiful woman with silver hair and she had a cresent moon on her forehead.

Kagome saw tears in Sesshomaru's eyes and heard him whisper something that sounded like...

"Mother...Get well soon...I hate to see you like this..."

She ignored it and walked into her grandfather's room.

She froze right next to bed and watched as the tubes that were in his mouth and nose, for breathing, rose and fell with every breathe that he took.

"Please gramps...Hurry up and get better...It's quiet at home without you there..."

Unknown to Kagome or Kaname...Sesshomaru stood by the doorway and watched tears slide down from Kagome's eyes, down her cheeks and landing on the hand, of her grandfather's, that she was holding.
