Chapter 12
Crash
Kenta
I slammed my phone down and pulled Izayoi to my side. I looked over to Sesshomaru to see him frozen and freaking out. Keeping him calm through this was going to be nearly impossible. I grabbed his arm, making him look at me.
"We need to go to your house to get Tenseiga. Do not lose control until we know what is going on." I ordered. He gave me a look of desperation before nodding, and in a matter of seconds, we were in our light orbs.
When we touched down at Sesshomaru's house, he instantly ran upstairs to grab the sword while I ran into the living room where Kikyou was. I set Izayoi down and turned to her, worry present on every square inch of her face.
"Take the Escalade and get you and Kikyou to the hospital. Call the others while you're on your way." I commanded.
"She knows what to do. Now let's go." Sesshomaru snapped, taking off in his light orb. I followed quickly behind.
I hadn't felt this scared since we battled Naraku and Kagome had died. I was praying to every Kami I could think of that this wasn't going to be a repeat of the last time. I couldn't bear to see Kagome, or any of my grandpups, like that again.
When we landed outside of the hospital, InuYasha was just arriving in a blur. He must have run all the way here after the ambulance took Kagome and the children. Sesshomaru ran straight to him but froze when his eyes looked him over. He was covered in blood. Kagome's blood.
"What happened, InuYasha?" I asked, placing a comforting hand on Sesshomaru's shoulder.
"Kagome was driving and a fucker in a pickup truck ran a red light. He hit on mine and Shippo's side. He was going so fast that we were pushed into oncoming traffic. Kagome didn't see the initial hit so no one was protected, but when we were pushed, she put a barrier around all four pups. I don't think she had time to do herself or me." InuYasha explained, his voice frantic.
"Oncoming traffic?" I observed, my worry just growing. I could feel Sesshomaru beginning to shake, and I knew he was becoming even more upset.
"Yea, then Kagome's side was hit by another truck. It sent us flipping, but by the time we stopped, we were hit again on the same side. When we finally stopped rolling, we landed upside down. I'm hurt, but I'll heal." InuYasha continued before looking at Sesshomaru.
"What about my family?" He asked, his voice sounding animalistic.
"Rin was scared, but she wasn't hurt. Shippo was bleeding, but not badly. I'm not really sure what his injuries are but he will heal quicker than me. Kagome…She was bad. After I got the kids out, I went to her. She was unconscious and bleeding everywhere. I don't know where the injury was because I didn't have time to look before the ambulance showed up and took her. After that, I ran here. We beat the ambulance, but they should be here soon." InuYasha confirmed.
"The man who caused this?" Sesshomaru asked, his hands clenched together so tightly, his claws were digging into his skin.
"Sesshomaru, you cannot kill him." I snapped, my own anger rising at the thought of my family and pack hurt.
"It doesn't matter. He wasn't wearing a seatbelt when he hit us. He was ejected. It was gruesome, and there was no way he survived." InuYasha informed.
"Where is she?!" Sango yelled, running up to us with Miroku following behind.
"They haven't gotten here yet." I answered, just as Kouga and Ayame ran full speed into the group.
"Please tell me why you have Tenseiga?" Ayame asked, staring at my sword.
"It's just an in-case kind of thing." I answered, taking the sword from Sesshomaru and sliding it through a belt loop.
"InuYasha!" Kikyou yelled, running to her mate with Sakura in her arms.
"I'm okay." He whispered, holding his mate.
"You're covered in blood!" She cried, placing a hand on his face. I looked at Izayoi as she ran up to me.
"It's not mine." InuYasha stated.
"Kenta, where is my daughter-in-law?" Satori demanded, landing beside us. "I leave these insufferable humans, then I get a call saying something about someone dying. Fix it."
"Father." Sesshomaru whispered, making me look at him. His hair was beginning to float and I knew he was starting to lose control.
"Sesshomaru, you need to stay calm. You need to be strong for Kagome and your children. If Rin isn't hurt, she is going to be staying with us, and if you are acting like this, she will be worried." I soothed, watching as his youki began to calm down. I took a deep breath before looking to Satori. "No one has died. We are waiting on the ambulance now."
"If she has died, I will never forgive her." Satori mumbled before jumping up to the roof to get away from all of the humans. I watched and was surprised by how much she really cared for Kagome.
"Let's go over to where the ambulance will arrive." Izayoi said, beginning to walk over to the Emergency entrance. We all followed in silence. I never left Sesshomaru, knowing that, at any moment, he could lose control. Right now, I was the only one that would be able to stop him.
"They are coming!" Satori yelled from on top of the roof. She was lucky this was a demon hospital. About that time, I could hear the loud sirens as they pulled in front of the hospital. Slowly, the doors opened, and a paramedic jumped out, holding a crying Rin.
"Daddy!" She yelled, struggling to get to Sesshomaru. He was by her side instantly, and the man let her go.
"Dad! Mom was hurt bad." Shippo said, being pulled out on a stretcher.
"What's wrong with my son?" Sesshomaru asked, trying to ignore what Shippo said.
"Just a broken arm. We're going to take him back for x-rays and make sure everything is okay. Your daughter is fine so she can stay with you." The paramedic said as another pushed Shippo in through the doors. "We need an adult to go with your son."
"I'll go." Kikyou offered, following after Shippo with Sakura still in her arms.
A sharp scream made all of us turn, and my heart dropped at the sight. Izayoi was folded over on herself while Miroku was trying to keep her from falling to the ground. Sango's face had gone completely white and Ayame was crying into Kouga's chest.
A second ambulance had pulled up behind the first, and now, four paramedics were scrambling around a stretcher. I could see a small pale arm that was dripping blood. I quickly covered Rin's eyes as the paramedics ran past us, not stopping.
The sight of Kagome, unconscious and bleeding nonstop, was enough to make me almost lose control. I looked up to Sesshomaru who had his eyes closed tightly and his face buried in Rin's hair. His entire body was shaking while he tried to comfort the sobbing Rin.
"Let's get inside." I ordered, loud enough for all to hear. "We need to let the nurses know we have arrived so they can keep us updated."
It was taking everything I had to keep calm. It had been a while since I put myself in alpha mode, but it was strongly needed at this point. My status was the only thing keeping Sesshomaru in line. Not removing my hand from my eldest son's shoulder, we made our way inside.
Sango, the only female not crying, checked us in as I pushed Sesshomaru into a seat. Once he was settled and rocking Rin, I turned to Izayoi and grabbed her. I set her down a seat away from Sesshomaru to give him the space he needed.
The others were fine to seat themselves, even if they were worried. Surprisingly, Satori also made her way into the hospital, her face full of disgust for the place but concern for the small woman she had grown attached to.
"Daddy, I want Mommy!" Rin cried, clutching on to her father.
"I know, Sweetie." He whispered, trying to keep his voice soft for his daughter. At this point, I believe she is the thing he needs to stay in control.
"Where is Mommy?" She asked, pulling away slightly to look at her father. His eyes were blood red, and I knew his beast was close to the surface.
"Rin. You know how the doctors are looking over Shippo?" I stated, in a soothing voice. "They are looking over your mommy as well."
"I tried calling for her in the car. She wouldn't say anything to me. Why wouldn't she say anything?" Rin continued, not really understanding the situation. I kneeled down in front of her and grabbed her little hands while Sesshomaru kept his nose buried in her hair.
"Your mommy was hurt in the car crash. She couldn't say anything because she was asleep. But the doctors here are looking over her and she will be fine." I explained, rubbing my thumbs over her hands.
"Mommy is strong. She protected me from the big truck." Rin said, smiling. "Mommy will be just fine."
"Yes, now your daddy needs you right now. Can you help him to stay calm?" I pleaded, hoping she understood what I was asking. She nodded before turning around in her father's lap and wrapping her arms around his neck. He closed his eyes again and breathed in her scent, keeping himself as calm as he could.
After an hour, we were all panicking inside but stayed calm on the outside for Sesshomaru's sake. Rin was doing wonderfully with keeping her father calm, and I mentally noted I would have to take her out for ice cream once this was all over.
"I'm looking for the family of Shippo Taisho?" A nurse called, walking around the corner with Shippo holding on to Kikyou's hand.
"Over here." I called, standing up. At that point, Shippo ran over to us and launched himself at his father, who happily took him into his embrace.
"He has minor cuts and bruises." The nurse explained. "He has a broken arm which will heal in a few days, but we went ahead and placed a cast on it so he doesn't injure it further while playing."
"What about Kagome Taisho?" I asked, hoping for some kind of answer.
"As far as I know, she is still in the OR." The nurse answered.
"OR? Why does she need surgery?" I snapped, my eyes bleeding red. I hope the pups are okay.
"I'm not sure. The doctor hasn't had time to explain anything yet. The moment he knows, he will be out here." The woman answered before turning and walking away.
"I'm not supposed to say anything, but the nurse took me to see Mommy." Shippo admitted, making all of us turn around to look at him.
"What did you see or hear?" I asked, kneeling in front of him.
"I couldn't see much, but there were a bunch of people surrounding her. They kept removing all of these bloody bandages, and they were bringing in bags full of blood. I couldn't hear anything because I was behind the glass." He whispered, burying his face in his father's hair. I looked up to see Sesshomaru staring out into nothing. At this point, he has probably gone numb.
"Let me see your cast?" I asked, trying to keep everybody's mind off of Kagome.
Three hours is how long we have been waiting. I sat in the chair beside Sesshomaru with my head on the wall. Izayoi was leaning against me, her hand laced with mine. Every now and again, I would give her a squeeze of support.
InuYasha had his elbows on his knees and his head in his hands. After a while, I made him go to the bathroom to clean off as much blood as he could, and Kikyou went home to grab him a change of clothes as well as Rin and Shippo's favorite toys.
Sesshomaru hadn't moved an inch. His eyes were still red as he stared at the wall as if it was the most interesting thing ever. The children seemed to understand what was happening to him and stayed in his lap no matter what. Currently, they were both asleep, Rin's little hand still clutched to him tightly.
"The Taisho family?" A male nurse called. I stood while releasing Izayoi's hand.
"That's us." I said, holding up my hand.
"Please follow me to the conference room. The doctor wishes to speak to you about Mrs. Taisho." He said, turning and walking away. Everyone started to follow and I grabbed Sesshomaru's shoulder. He followed along behind me almost groggily as we were escorted into a small room.
"Which one of you is Mr. Taisho?" Another male asked, walking into the room before shutting the door. I pointed to Sesshomaru, knowing that the doctor was asking for Kagome's mate.
"Is he okay?" The doctor asked, noticing the state my son was in.
"It's a defense mechanism. He's gone numb to keep his beast at bay, but he can still hear everything you say." I informed, looking at the still-frozen Sesshomaru.
"Well, I'll go ahead and start off with, Kagome is stable and awake." The doctor said, getting relieved sighs from everyone.
"What happened to my mate?" Sesshomaru asked, finally speaking.
"The crash caused multiple pieces of glass to cut into her skin. A particularly large piece lodged itself in her thigh, severing her femoral artery. That is what caused all of the bleeding. She did lose quite a lot of blood, and it took a while to get the bleeding to stop, but she will be fine now." The doctor explained, looking over the group.
"What about the babies?" Sango asked.
"They are perfectly fine. Kagome did well with protecting them. Still, we are going to keep her for a few days to monitor both Kagome and the twins. But overall, everyone will be okay." The doctor finished, making my shoulders sag with relief.
"Can we see her?" Sesshomaru asked, his face still full of worry.
"Of course. Follow me." The doctor said, motioning for us to do exactly that.
Sesshomaru.
I stood instantly and followed after the doctor. I have never had to put myself into that kind of mode before just to keep my beast at bay. If Rin had not shown up when she did, I would not have been able to keep myself under control.
It seems every time I let Kagome out of my sight, something like this happens. I refuse to ever let her leave me again, no matter what the reason. I cannot handle knowing my mate is hurt, and there is nothing I can do about that.
When the doctor reached a room, he opened the door and walked in. I followed behind him and froze at what I saw. Kagome was laying on the bed, her eyes closed. She had two straps placed over her stomach that were connected to two little monitors giving off the pups' heartbeat.
She had a tube running around her face and going into her nose, giving her oxygen. I have seen her in the hospital before but seeing her like this was enough to take my breath away. I set the sleeping children gently on one of the couches in the large room before walking over to my mate.
I placed a trembling hand on the side of her face and felt myself beginning to break. I never wanted to see her like this again. I never wanted to experience her hurt again. I couldn't handle it. This woman was my life, and I once again failed to protect her.
"Kagome, I need you to open your eyes." The doctor ordered, pulling out a small flashlight. A small groan could be heard from Kagome as the man forced her eyes open and shined the light into them. I could see her black pupils dilate before being covered in pink again.
"Your family is here to see you, Kagome." The doctor informed, checking over her vitals.
"Sesshomaru." She called weakly, her voice hoarse.
"I'm here, Love." I whispered, running my thumb over her cheek. Her eyes fluttered open on their own and I smiled down at her.
"The children? InuYasha?" She asked, making me chuckle. Of course she was worried for the others.
"Shippo has a broken arm, but will heal in a few days. Rin wasn't hurt at all. They are sleeping over there." I said, pointing to the couch. "The half-breed doesn't matter."
"Hey!" InuYasha snapped, walking up behind me.
"Kami, Kagome. What is it with you giving us all heart attacks?" He scolded, making me glare at him.
"I'm sorry I couldn't protect you." She whispered, smiling at him weakly when she noticed the scratches and cuts over his face and arms.
"Keh, the pups were more important." InuYasha stated with a wave of his hand.
"Kagome," The doctor started, interrupting our reunion. "You lost a lot of blood today, and you are going to feel weak for a while. Try not to move your leg too much. I don't want the stitches to come undone."
"We'll make sure she is okay." Father said, moving to stand on the other side of Kagome.
"I will leave you to it. Just press the button if she needs anything." The man said before leaving.
"If I have to grab Tenseiga one more time because of you, I will take you over my knee and whip you like you are five again." Father reprimanded, making a few of us laugh. Kagome smiled before holding up her arms to him, being careful of the wires attached to her finger. He leaned down and hugged her tightly before letting her go.
"I'm sorry I worried everyone." She said, looking around the room.
"Just don't do it again." Sango said as everyone began surrounding her. I leaned up and kissed her forehead, letting my lips linger there for a moment.
"You scared me, Kagome." I whispered.
"I'm sorry about your car." She said, looking at me worried.
"I don't give a damn about that car." I snapped, my eyes flashing red slightly. I took a deep breath as I sat back to calm myself. "Kagome, you are never leaving my sight again, do you understand me?"
"Yes, Master." She teased, making me growl.
"Sesshomaru, be happy the woman is okay enough to pick on you." Father scolded, glaring at me.
"I guess you'll never let me drive your car again, huh?" Kagome chuckled, making the others laugh.
"Not funny." I mumbled.
A few days later, I pulled into my driveway. I was driving Father's Escalade until I got a new car, and once I parked, I jumped out and went to the back seat. Very gently, I pulled Kagome out of the car and began carrying her inside.
"I can walk." She argued, her voice back to normal. I glared at her but continued walking.
"The doctor said to stay off of your leg as much as possible. He even put you on early maternity leave, Kagome. Accept my help because you are getting it no matter what." I demanded, walking to the front door. Father was already here watching Shippo and Rin so when I approached, he opened the door for me.
"Hey, Daddy." Kagome acknowledged as he leaned over and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"How are you feeling, Kagome?" He asked, following me to the living room.
"Like I'm five." She admitted, making me growl.
"Let him spoil you." Father laughed, grabbing a few pillows on the couch and arranging them so she would be comfortable. When he was finished, I set her down gently on the couch and grabbed a blanket to cover her.
"Mommy!" Rin yelled, running into the room with Shippo. I quickly stuck my hand out, stopping them from jumping on her.
"Easy, she is still hurt." I ordered. Rin nodded before walking over to her mom and hugging her, followed by her brother.
"I have missed you two. I hope you didn't give your grandpa too much trouble while I was gone." Kagome said, hugging our children.
"NO! He gave us lots of candy and let us stay up late at night." Rin squealed, making both Kagome and myself glare at him.
"Rin, that was our secret." Father gasped, looking upset. Rin ran over to him and clutched on to his leg.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa!" She yelled, making him laugh as he picked her up.
"Izayoi will be here soon from the lawyer's office. She said that they have a video of the crash that the lawyer recommends we watch to familiarize ourselves with what happened." Father explained.
"The damn man is lucky enough to not only survive being thrown out of a windshield, but to have my mate keep me from killing him, yet he decides to sue us for his mistake." I snarled, annoyed. In an attempt to calm down, I placed my hand on Kagome's stomach, feeling for my moving pups.
"There's no way he can win. I think he's only doing this because he saw the car and thinks he can get money from us." Father stated, setting Rin down so she could run along and play.
"I'm sorry guys." Kagome whispered, her hands fidgeting with one another.
"It's not your fault, Kagome." I soothed, rubbing her stomach.
"We're home!" Izayoi called as InuYasha ran into the room.
"I'm so glad to see you back in this house." He said, hugging Kagome.
"I'm glad to be home. Maybe now I can get some real food." Kagome laughed.
"I'll cook up some dinner for everybody." Kikyou offered.
"I'll help. After that, we need to watch the video." Izayoi called as she followed her daughter-in-law.
"Sesshomaru, will you sit with me?" Kagome asked.
I looked at her skeptically for a moment but the look she gave me broke me down. I helped her sit up fully before removing the pillows from her back. Gently, I climbed in behind her and pulled her to my chest, her body resting between my legs.
"Thank-you." She whispered, leaning her head on my shoulder while pulling the blanket over both of us. I wrapped my arms around her and nuzzled into her neck.
"Yea, yea, we know you love her. Enough with the sappy bullshit." InuYasha huffed, going to the kitchen. Father laughed but followed him, leaving Kagome and myself alone.
"Thank-you for taking care of me." She whispered, making me smirk.
"Were you not just complaining about it?" I asked.
"Yea, it's annoying, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate it." She replied, placing her hands on my thighs so she could readjust herself.
"I will always take care of you." I stated, kissing the side of her forehead.
"I know." She remarked.
We sat in silence for a few moments before her hand began trailing up my leg. I looked down at her and noticed the way she kept her eyes closed but held a smirk as she rested her head against my shoulder.
"Kagome." I warned as her hand moved closer to my thigh.
"What?" She asked innocently.
"You know what." I stated, growling as she moved her hand to my growing cock. I silently cursed my body for not listening to my demands.
"I'm not sure what you're talking about." She teased, rubbing me on the outside of my clothes. I placed my forehead on her shoulder, fighting a groan.
"Stop it. You just got out of the hospital." I somewhat demanded.
"Exactly. It has been a while since I have had you." She whispered. I pulled away from her shoulder and glared down at her.
"You will not have me today, or any day, until you are healed." I stated, looking into her pink eyes
"There are other ways." She replied, grabbing my hand and placing it over her shorts. I could feel her heat, and at this point, I was losing the fight.
"Why must you do this to me?" I asked, fighting the urge to dive into her folds.
"Because you can't resist me, and I want you." She answered, grabbing my cock as best she could. That action proved her point and I completely gave in.
I removed my hand from between her legs and began unbuckling my pants. Quickly, I pulled out my painfully hard cock, letting her latch on to it however she wanted. I reached around her and unbuttoned her shorts before pushing my hand into her already-wet folds. I used my other hand to pull the blanket over us even more, hiding what we were doing.
My claws latched on to her clit, and I moaned as she began jerking me off. We both knew this needed to be quick because, at any moment, someone could walk in. With that said, we pulled out all the stops, bringing each other to orgasm quicker than we ever had before.
I bit the inside of my cheek to keep from crying out as I shot my seed against her hand and my pants. She sucked her lip into her mouth as she reached her own orgasm. I knew I was a mess and it would be a while before I would be able to stand up again.
Panting, I watched as she pulled her hand from behind her. The sticky substance was stringed between her fingers and over her palm. I was going to wipe it off when she suddenly brought her hand to her mouth and began licking it away. I just about died before grabbing her hand to stop her.
"If you continue that, I will want you again. Once was enough." I stated before using the blanket to clean her hand.
"Fine, be mean." She pouted.
"If you wish to taste me, when we go to bed tonight, I will let you get it however you want. Just no sex." I informed, loving the way her eyes lit up.
"You promise?" She asked, making me chuckle. I pushed my lips to hers and kissed her gently.
"Dinner is served." Father said, walking back into the room with two plates full of food. He handed one to each of us before walking back into the kitchen. After a few minutes, everyone was getting themselves situated as InuYasha hooked up the laptop to the TV.
"Are we ready for this?" He asked, sitting down on the floor in front of Kagome's feet.
"No." I mumbled. He ignored me and pressed play on the computer.
I could tell from the angle that the camera was hanging from the wire that the stoplights rest on. At first, nothing could be seen, but the moment I saw the Bugatti, I knew it was about to happen. When the truck slammed into my car, I flinched. Father let out some kind of noise, but I wasn't sure what it was.
I could see the man getting thrown from his car and sliding to a stop on the asphalt as my car was pushed into oncoming traffic. When Kagome's side was hit, my hands tightened on my mate without my knowledge. With every roll of the car, I could feel my breathing stop. Just when you would think it was finally over, another car hit Kagome's side, sending the smashed car tumbling once again, not stopping until it rested upside down.
I could see InuYasha kicking out his window before crawling out. He instantly ran to the back door. I could see him yelling into the car, and I knew he was telling Shippo to cover his face. With one swift kick, the window was busted, and InuYasha was pulling out the kids. He set them down beside the car on the opposite side before turning to Kagome.
He didn't have to kick the window out this time. Instead, he climbed in the shattered window on his back before loosening Kagome from her seatbelt. She flopped down onto his soft body and laid there limp. By now, my heart was beating erratically, and I really wanted to throw the TV outside. When Rin tried to come to Kagome, InuYasha said something to Shippo and my son grabbed his sister, holding her back.
I could see InuYasha freaking out slightly as he pushed himself from the car, the entire time Kagome resting unconscious over his body. When they were free, he sat up and tried to make her respond to him. By now, he was covered in her blood, and I could see he was becoming frantic.
The ambulances showed up then and the paramedics began looking over everyone. InuYasha watched as the paramedics loaded my children and mate into the ambulances. The moment they were out of sight, he grabbed his phone and called Father before disappearing from the scene.
"That last part will be a problem." Father said, his face looking pale. I buried my face in Kagome's hair and began to rumble, both for my own comfort and hers.
"Well, I wasn't exactly thinking about what a man who should have died was going to do if he found out I was a demon." InuYasha snapped.
"We'll talk to the lawyer tomorrow and see if she can edit it out." Father said, rubbing his forehead. "I'm not worried about the case. It's obvious the man had a red light."
"I don't remember any of that." Kagome admitted.
"You were knocked out by the second hit." InuYasha explained. "If I wasn't half-demon, I would have been, too."
"Thank-you for what you did." Kagome whispered, making InuYasha blush.
"Keh, as if I would leave you three dangling upside down." He scoffed, looking away.
"Are you still not mad about your car?" Kagome asked, looking at me.
"Now that the shock has passed, I am furious." I said, noticing her cringe. "I am not angry at you. I wish to kill the man that hurt my mate and son and destroyed my precious car."
"You can't kill him." Kagome scolded, making me narrow my eyes.
"And why not? To me, he is just as bad as Naraku and deserves to die." I replied.
"Because he is human, and I don't want you to go to jail. I need you. Your pups need you." She retorted, somehow making me feel guilty. I placed both of my hands on her stomach and sighed.
"He is lucky none of you died. I would have tortured him then." I admitted before placing my forehead against her shoulder. "Kami, Kagome. You don't know what it did to me, not knowing if you were going to live or not."
"Daddy had Tenseiga."
"Do you enjoy dying?" I snapped, looking up at her. "You have already died once, and because of that, there is no guarantee Tenseiga will work. You can't rely on that sword."
"I know, okay?" She reassured, slouching back against me. "I just want you to stay beside me, and if you kill him, you won't. So please, don't leave me?"
"I won't ever let you go." I whispered, my lips against her forehead. "From this moment on, you will be glued to my hip."
"I guess that means more grandpups for me." Father stated, smiling at the two of us.
"Can I give birth to these two first, please?" Kagome groaned, causing everyone to laugh. Even I let out a little chuckle.
-sSs-
Here is Chapter 12. I hope you all liked it.
I have a lot going on in my life right now and may not be able to post as frequently as I had before. I hope you all understand.
I do not own InuYasha.
