Kagome pulled the car to a stop not caring that she was on the curb of the small doctor’s office. She hurried around to InuYasha’s side and opened the door. He stirred just enough to help her get him to his feet, his arm over her shoulder as she struggled to support his weight.
As they approached the door a tall kind looking man ran over to them. “Dear God are you two all right?”
“Please,” Kagome cried. “Help him. He’s been bleeding so much...”
“Of course I will.” The man said. “This is my clinic. Let’s get him inside.”
Once the door was unlocked the doctor moved to shoulder some of the burden on InuYasha’s weight. The walked through the waiting room into a small, but welcoming examination room. They placed InuYasha on the table and the doctor set to work.
He cut free InuYasha’s shirt and removed his slacks. “What happened?”
“He was shot.” Kagome whispered. “Our car broke down. This man... He said... He said he would help us... Oh God is he going to be okay?”
“Well he has lost a lot of blood, but if he’s managed to hang on this long then I think he’ll be all right. We need to get him bandaged up and an IV going so he can be transported to the hospital. They’ll need to do x-rays to make sure there’s none of the bullet still in him and that no organs were damaged. His heart beat is steady if a little slow and his breathing is good though so don’t worry too much.”
Kagome nodded and stroked InuYasha’s hair with her good hand as the doctor set to work. She leaned over and kissed his cheek. “Please be okay... Remember you still have to ask me to marry you.”
“Are you injured?” The doctor asked.
“My wrist... and my head hurts, but I’ll be okay.” She said softly. “Just take care of him.”
Just then the door opened admitting a stout and sure looking woman, wearing a pale blue nurses uniform. Her seasoned gaze took in the situation and the only things she asked was, “How can I assist you doctor?”
“First call an ambulance to take this young man to the hospital and then you can assist me in starting an IV and getting him prepared for transport,” he replied.
The nurse nodded shortly and hurried from the room. She returned and after informing them that the ambulance was on its way she set to work. The doctor worked on bandaging InuYasha’s side while the nurse inserted the catheter and then started a rapid drip. Once that was done Kagome found herself under their scrutiny.
The injury to her head appeared to be nothing more than a scalp laceration and the small cut on her neck only needed to be cleaned. Her wrist, however, was broken, though the doctor couldn’t tell her how serious it was until an x-ray was taken.
The ambulance arrived only a short while later and she was permitted to ride in the back with InuYasha, since they needed her to tell them exactly what had happened. When they arrived at the hospital and after Kagome had answered all the doctor’s questions, they wheeled InuYasha away. She of course protested, not wanting to be separated from him for any reason, but accepted it with the assurance that she could be with him as soon as her injuries had been attended to and as soon as he had been fully evaluated.
The next few hours passed in a blur. Her wrist was x-rayed and they did a scan of her head to make sure there were no internal injuries. The break turned out to be a minor one, but she would still have to wear a cast for several weeks and she also received ten stitches in her scalp. During her own procedures she was told that InuYasha had been taken into surgery to remove a few shell fragments from the shot gun wound, but that he was going to be fine.
Finally, she was reunited with him in their hospital room. She was supposed to remain in her bed but she wanted to be right beside him when he woke up. With her good arm she pulled a chair over to his bed side. She held his hand gently and watched him sleep.
They were only interrupted once by a police officer wanting to know everything she could remember and the location of the house they had been taken to. It was hard to talk about and she wished desperately that InuYasha was awake to support her the entire time, but she got through it. When the police officer left she didn’t have to be told that he would be back. She knew that they would also need to talk to InuYasha, but at least it was over for now.
InuYasha woke feeling groggy. It took a moment for him to notice the warmth of Kagome’s hand gripping his. He blinked several times against the harsh lighting and turned his head towards her with a wince.“Hey,” She said softly. “How are you feeling?”
He ignored her. “You okay?”
She smiled and scolded him gently, “Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. Can I get you anything, a drink? They said you might be thirsty when you woke up because of the anesthesia.”
InuYasha closed his eyes briefly and gave a small nod. He only opened them again when he felt a cup pressed to his lips. He looked at Kagome gratefully as he drank. He pulled his head back when he was done and Kagome set the cup on the table beside her.
“How bad is it?” He asked.
She stroked his brow tenderly. Her voice quavered as she spoke, “Well, I don’t think your nose will ever be same and you’re going to have scars across your side, but we’re both alive, so I’d say things are pretty damn good.”
He managed as smile to match hers. “You should swear more often. I like it...” For a moment they just looked at each other. “Are you really okay?”
“My wrist is broken, but other than that, it was nothing serious. I was more worried about you,” Kagome admitted.
InuYasha frowned. “That’s not what I meant.”
“I know,” She whispered. “I guess I’m in shock. It’s just so hard to believe. The police have already been here once asking me questions. I was so afraid, and you.. I didn’t know...” Her voice faded into nothing as she began to cry.
He reached out to her as best he could without upsetting his injuries. She leaned close resting her head on his bed so that he could smooth her hair. Though she wasn’t crying anymore they were still like that when the door opened admitting a familiar face.
“Brother, I hear you are going to live, pity,” Sesshomaru said with an upturn of his lips.
“Good to see you too, asshole,” InuYasha snorted.
It was a running joke for them. They hadn’t always gotten along and in fact at one point in their lives they had outright despised each other. Even though they were now on better terms, they kept to their old habits. For them insults were a form or endearment.
“The police have recovered your car and have informed me that someone put sand in your oil fill tube-”
“Mother fucker!” InuYasha bellowed.
Sesshomaru rolled his eyes and cleared his throat. “As I was saying, it was clear that your car was intentionally damaged. Do you know when this could have occurred?”
“That fucking bastard,” InuYasha spat. “We stopped at a service station and the guy checked all my fluids while the tank was being filled. I bet he did it then.”
“Have you heard anything else?” Kagome asked.
When Sesshomaru spoke again both InuYasha and Kagome were surprised by his tone. The man who almost never showed emotion was getting choked up. “You were both far luckier than you know to have survived. The thing these monster have done... Thus far they have recover seventeen separate bodies, not accounting for those that must be matched to their individual body parts. The basement was little more than a slaughterhouse. If either of you were concerned about being prosecuted for the deaths of those whom held you captive, you need not. On the news you are being hailed as heros for your actions.”
“What?” InuYasha pressed with wide eyes. “We just wanted to get the hell out of there. I just did what was necessary to protect Kagome and to get us out of there alive.”
“I knew you would see it that way, but others will beg to differ,” Sesshomaru informed him. “I would differ. How many people have your actions saved? How many future victims will never suffer at the hands of those beasts?”
“Sessho...” InuYasha tried, wanting to convey to his brother how much his words meant to him.
Sesshomaru shook his head sharply and pulled a small box out of his pocket. He tossed it lightly into InuYasha’s lap. “I recovered this from your car before it was impounded as evidence, I thought you might need it.”
InuYasha picked up the box and turned it in his hand. “Thanks.”
His older brother nodded. “I’ll leave you for now and see to it that you are not disturbed until tomorrow.”
InuYasha watched his brother leave and just before the door shut he realized he had completely missed something Sesshomaru had said. “Oi, what do you mean they impounded my car!”
Kagome could hear laughter coming from just outside the door and couldn’t help but smile. “I’m sure you’ll get it back soon.” She giggled as InuYasha snorted and proceeded to pout pitifully. He was such a baby about his car, but she loved all the more for it. “So, is that for me?”
He glanced at her and then back at the box. “I didn’t want it to be like this. I wanted to do this one thing right, but after what happened, I don’t want to wait either.” He flipped open the lid and showed the ring to her. “I never want to be without you. Marry me, Kagome. I promise I’ll always take care of you and that I’ll love you forever.”
Kagome nodded with tears in her eyes. “Yes.” As he slipped the ring on her finger a laugh burst from her. “I’m glad he broke my right hand, other wise I would’ve had to wait to wear this.”
InuYasha shook his head and accepted her lips as she leaned over to kiss him. “You’re something else, woman,” he muttered against her mouth.
“I’ll take that as a compliment,” she said with a grin.
He smirked at her. “Good, ‘cause that’s how I meant it.”
The next morning InuYasha spoke with the police and his brother returned for another brief visit. They watched the news briefly, but silently agreed that they really didn’t want to know all the details and left the television off.When Kagome’s family arrived unexpectedly near midday there was a flood of tears and a plethora of relieved and thankful embraces, which was expected. However, one thing happened that no one had anticipated. InuYasha received the blessing or Kagome’s grandfather to marry his only granddaughter. The old man had been the first to notice the ring on her hand and responded by telling them that he himself would be honored to be allowed to preform the ceremony. This, of course, resulted in many more happy tears.
InuYasha had to remain in the hospital for a week and Kagome stayed with him the entire time. When he was finally released they were mobbed by the press outside, but the only comment either one of them had was that they were just happy have survived.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
