Chapter 6
Emergency

Kagome could hear Inuyasha�s
voice. She couldn�t feel her body or open her eyes, but she could hear him
speaking to her. She knew he was afraid. She could feel the fear, which seemed
odd. �Maybe I�m afraid. No�it is coming
for Inuyasha. How can I feel what he�s feeling?�� She could feel heat coming off his body.
He was holding her.� There was something
about the heat that was familiar to her. It was warming every part of her body,
not just the parts that were touching him. It was like having a blanket around
her. �What is this�I should know what it
is. Why can�t I�� She could not finish the thought. Her mind was shutting
down. She couldn�t feel Inuyasha or the heat any
longer. Before her mind gave up completely to the darkness she heard one last
sound echo through it. �Stop fighting��

It was difficult holding her as he climbed up the
ladder of the well. Since she was so badly hurt he didn�t know how to hold on
to her without damaging her more. Her grandfather called for the ambulance as
her mother tried to look at Kagome�s wounds. Surprisingly her heart beat was
very strong for all the blood that covered her clothing. Her mother peeled the
top of her uniform from her body and tossed it aside. The side of Kagome�s face
was a deep purple. Blood was coming from a cut under her hair. Her right side
was what caused the most alarm. It also was a deep purple and covered in blood.
A large slash ran across her ribs. Her mother pressed a towel against it to
stop the bleeding.

�I am sorry that I couldn�t keep her safe. We couldn�t
see the thing before it did this to her.� He was actually crying as he picked
up her hand and placed it against his lips. She had been hurt many times in the
past. There had been one time that frightened him enough that he had tried to
destroy the well to keep her in her own time. It had been nothing compared to
this. He truly believe that he was about to loose her. He tried to explain how
it had happened, but her mother stopped him.

After cleaning the wounds the best she could, Mama
covered Kagome�s body with a blanket. She knew that there was nothing more she
could do for her daughter, so she turned her attention to Inuyasha.
�We have to get you a disguise before people get here,� she said as she took Inuyasha�s hand. �If you want to go with us to the hospital
you will need to got out of these close or they will want to examine you too.
We don�t want to see where that will lead.�

Grandpa took her place at Kagome�s side. He placed his
hand on the towel that covered the deep slash on her side and held it tightly
in place. The look on his face was not as understanding as the one on her
mother had on hers. Inuyasha could hear him chanting
something as they left the room.

She led him to the bathroom and stood him in front of
the sink. �Wait right here, I will be right back.� She asked Sota to help him to get water into the sink. A few moments
later she returned with a tee shirt, a pair of shorts, sandals, and a baseball
cap. �I am sure this will fit even if it is not the greatest outfit.�

She helped him out of the shredded kimono and cleaned
the wounds. �Will these be alright?� She asked.

�They�ll be fine. I heal quickly,� he said shyly. Kamoge�s mom was very nice to him. She really could have been
mean and he would have earned it, but she fused over him like he was her own
son.

�They are taking her out,� Grandpa was at the door and
the look on his face was not a forgiving one. �I will go with her.�
****

The car ride was a horror for him. He did not like
being in a cramped space that could move faster then he could. The hospital was
not any better. It was so cold, and stank of blood and death. He wanted Kagome
well and with him right now. He didn�t like all the waiting he had to do in
such a small room. No one would tell them where she was, or what was happening
to her. On to top it all, the baseball cap that he had been made to wear was
making his ears itch.�

Grandpa and Sota had decided
to take a taxi home so that Sota could get some rest
for school the next day. Inuyasha used the time alone
with Kagome�s mother to explain everything. He added the part about him wanting
to marry her, but he did not have any family to bring to the wedding. She
listened to every word and comforted him more than he comforted her.

It was late in the night before the doctor came to
tell them how she was. Kagome was fine. She had a room for the rest of the
night and was sleeping peacefully. He was puzzled by the original report that
he had been given by the paramedics. He apologized for the reports errors and
any alarm it might have caused. Her injuries were greatly exaggerated. The
doctor assured them that she had pasted out because the wind had been knocked
out of her. It had nothing to do with blood loss. She had not seemed to have
lost that much blood. He did have to stitch up her side, and she had two
bruised ribs, but her injuries had not been life threatening. Her head would be
fine. Despite the bruise, she had not received any head injuries. The tiny cut
had not even needed stitches. They would let her go home that afternoon if she
would agree to stay in bed, because she seemed to be suffering more from
exhaustion than anything else.

Kagome�s mother thanked the doctor and took Inuyasha�s arm. �Well, now that we know that she will be ok
we can go home. You look like you need some rest Inuyasha.
We can come back first thing in the morning. Oh, that is if we can get you
cleaned up a little better than this.�

He
looked at her in amazement as she led him down the corridor. She was wonderful.
This had to be were Kagome got it. This woman was overflowing with love and
acceptance!

****

The car ride home was better. The large �village� was
much less crowded now. For the most part they were quite. Inuyasha
was too tired to talk, but Kagome�s mother had several questions floating
around in her mind.

�Did you heal her in some way, Inuyasha?�

He was not expecting the break in the silence, so his
body jumped at the sound of her voice. It took him a breath or two to recover,
but he answered her, �I don�t think I had anything to do with it. I wouldn�t
know how to do something like that.�

�It had to be you. She was a mess when you brought her
into that house. I have to admit that I didn�t understand how her heartbeat was
so strong. With all the blood on your closes, she should have been cold to the
touch. Her body was as hot as yours had been when I cleaned your wounds.� She
stopped and shook her head, �I didn�t think she would die, but I thought that
she was in worse shape than the doctor said she was. I know that Grandpa�s
chanting and spells could not have done it, but don�t tell him I said that.�

The house was dark and quiet when they entered. He had
nearly taken a tumble coming up to the house because of the sandals. He knew
what these things were, but he never enjoyed the feel of having them on his
feet. He had to say that he did not like this time very much.

�You can sleep in Kagome�s bed. I will see what I can
do for you if you are planning to stay until she is better.�

He entered the room and she closed the door behind
him. The room smelled like Kagome. It was strange being surrounded by her scent
without having her right next to him. He hesitantly crossed the room and
crawled onto the bed, �Thank you God for letting her live.� He wasn�t sure if
he believed that there was a god, but he knew that Kagome was alright. For that
alone he was willing to believe.

He curled himself round Kagome�s pillow in the middle
of the small bed. Of all the objects in the room, her bed was covered the most
in her scent. It helped him sleep for at least a few hours. He wouldn�t truly
be at peace until she was there beside him.

A soft voice woke him from his sleep, �Inuyasha, it is time to wake up.� Mama stood over the bed
looking down at him. She was holding a bundle of what appeared to be clothing,
�I have already seen Kagome. She will be ready to come home in a few hours. I
thought she would like to see you in something nice, so I got some clothes for
you. I hope they fit, I was going by the size of the shorts and tee shirt you
are wearing now.�

Inuyasha set up on the bed with the pillow still in his arms.
�Did she ask about me?�

�Of course she did! I told her that you would be with
us when we pick her up,� she set down at the foot of the bed, �she will be on
pain killers so she will want to sleep when she comes home, but she insisted
that I make you stay with us.�

�What are pain killers?�

�They are�� At first, she was not sure how to put it
so that he would understand, �What do you use to stop pain in your time? Herbs?�

�Herbs,� he agreed.

�Well, these are man made herbs that keep her from
feeling the pain. They kill the pain, so to speak. That is why we call them
pain killers. They can make you tired and sleepy, but they keep you from
feeling the pain.�

�I think that I would rather be in pain than
tired all the time,� he said honestly.

�She might too, but I think she should take them for a
little while anyway. Now let�s get you up so you can have a bath and get
dressed.� She patted his leg affectionately and stood up.

She led him to the bathroom where she had a tub of
water waiting for him. She showed him the different shampoos and set some
towels out for him, �When you are finished and dried off wrap one of the towels
around yourself and call for me. I will show you how
to put the clothes on.�

�I can dress myself.� His face was red again.
She did that almost as much as Kagome did.

�Do you know what a zipper is, Inuyasha?�

�No,� he sighed, she had won. �Kagome is just like her mom.�

It was hard to get the soap on all of his hair. He had
to try three times before he got all the dirt out. �How does she stand me? She is always taking a bath and I am always
covered with dirt. It is a wonder she can stand to be near me.�

The shirt was no trouble at all for him to figure out.
It was roomy and comfortable to move around in. The color was white and it was
made of a very soft cotton. Mama said that Kagome
would like the feel of it. The underwear was another matter. He did not like
how it felt so restrictive. He was warned however that if he did not wear it
the zipper in the black slacks could be really dangerous to his manhood. He did
not like the sound of that, so he forced himself to deal with the underwear.

Mama helped him to dry his hair and brush out the
tangled mass, �You have such beautiful hair, even though you don�t take care of
it. Now that we have all the tangles out of it, you should be able to keep it
looking nice.�

****

It frightened him when the nurse pushed Kagome out in
a wheel chair, �Can�t she walk on her own.�

�She will be fine, Inuyasha,
this is just something that they do,� Mama reassured him.

Kagome couldn�t trust her eyes. She was sure that her
medicine was causing her to see things. Inuyasha
looked like all the other men of this time. Well, the baseball hat made him
look a bit odd, but he was still very handsome. She had never thought he could
fit so well in this time.

Squatting down in the pants felt really awkward, but
he managed to do it. �I�ve missed you.� He wanted to kiss her, but didn�t know
how she would react with her family standing by watching them. Honestly, he was
not sure how he would feel. �I should�ve been more protective of you. I�ll
never forgive myself...�

�Don�t,� she put her finger on his lips to stop him.
She put her hands on his shoulders. �Just help me stand.�

He looked to everyone else around them before granting
her request. No one objected so he placed his hands on her sides and pulled her
forward. Her hands ended up behind his neck and she was looking into his face.
She pulled him towards her and tried to rise up on her toes to reach his mouth.
She was not steady enough to manage it on her own. She let out a small sound
that was similar to a whimper, and tugged at him again. Realizing that she
meant business he let out a nervous chuckle and bent down to kiss her. It must
have satisfied her, because after their lips parted she snuggled against him
before being led to the car.

Her grandfather did not seem very happy about how the
two were acting towards each other. Inuyasha tried
not to let it get to him. Kagome set between Inuyasha
and Souta in the back seat. She was snuggled against
him half asleep. She winched with each bump that the car drove over. The
stitches were painful because of the length and position of the cut. The way
she was setting was not making it any better.

After making sure she was settled down safely in her
bed for a nap, Inuyasha decided he wanted to go for a
walk. He wanted to think about what he should do next. He had never had to
think about anyone but himself before. He was responsible fore her safety now
more then ever. �She really could have
died if I hadn�t brought her back. Things aren�t going to get any safer for us.
It would be much safer for her if I leave her here. If I leave her now I might die inside, but she would be safe. It looks
like her grandfather might try to convince her to stay in this time anyway. I
have the others to help me look for the shards and Naraku. I could leave while she
sleeps. She might try to make me stay if I say goodbye.�

�Goodbye,� word came out hollow sounding. He could she
her in his mind. He closed his eyes and refused to let the words full meaning
hit him. He had been through this too many times. Maybe he was just trying to
scare himself again. He sighed and lucked up. He was standing in front of
Goshinboku, the sacred tree. There was a scare on the tree were he had once
been sealed on it. He stood staring at it.

�Why did she
to break the seal? It had to be more than hert
being Kikyo�s reincarnation. She could have lived in this world and been happy without me. What is it that keeps insisting that we be
together? I have to be right about us being made for each other.�

He was starting to doubt. The one thing that he knew
was that he needed her. He needed her more than he could admit. He knew in his
heart that he could never leave her. He would be hopeless without her.

�It is peaceful here isn�t it?� Kagome�s mom
had come up behind him.�

He nodded in response after catching his breath. She
startled him. He didn�t like that that sort of thing was happening a lot
lately.

She turned her gaze to Goshinboku, �I was reminded of
Kagome when I saw you standing here. I came home one day to find her right
where you are now. She was crying. When I asked her what was wrong she told me
that she had seen you with someone else. She was afraid of loosing you.�

�I don�t love anyone but Kagome,� he said
without looking at her.

�I believe you. That day I told her about how her
father had asked me to marry him. I was going to say no, but as I stood under
this tree something changed in me. I couldn�t say no to him. I couldn�t give
any explanation to Kagome about why this tree gave me such peace at that moment
in my life. I really wasn�t sure about it then myself. I think I know why now,�
she put her arm around his shoulder and his eyes went wide, �I think that your
soul was calling out for her even then. You need her and I can see that. I know
you would die to protect her.�

�I wasn�t the one who spent the night in that
place.�

�But your wounds are much worse than hers. You just
heal easier than she does. And whether you believe it or not, you did something
that helped her heal,� she said she squeezed him. �Don�t worry about it son, I
will talk to Grandpa. I will make him see that you are the only one for my
daughter.�

�Son?� He couldn�t believe what he just heard, �you really
think that I am good enough for her?�

�You have kept her safe and made her happy. She has
grown so much since she met you. I saw how much she loves you by that kiss she
gave you. You are the one she wants, and you have my blessing. You are now my
son and I will expect you to call me Mama. I will start getting things ready
for your wedding, and I will explain it all as we go.�

�Mama!� Sota shouted as he ran from
the house. �Kagome is out of bed. She fell in the hallway.�

They both went running. There she was on the floor
trying to lift her self and wincing from the pain. Grandpa had entered the hall
just the same time as Mama and Inuyasha.

�Kagome, what are you doing out of bed?� Grandpa was
coming down the opposite end of the hallway.

�Inuyasha, you
didn�t leave me.�

�Stupid, why would I leave you?� he snapped as he
knelt down to pick her up. �Be still and let me get you.�

�I am sorry. I had this terrible dream that you left
me and you were not coming back. I tried to find you, but I couldn�t find you
anywhere. I had to make sure you were still here.�

�See, you are just being stupid. You have to stay in
bed.� He picked her up gently, trying to be careful of her stitches. When he
got to her room he settled her down on the bed in such a way that he could
crawl in and rest beside her. �I guess I will have to keep you in my sight at
all times, huh?�

�I will bring up some dinner when it is ready. You two
get some rest,� Mama forced everyone out the doorway, and gave Kagome and Inuyasha a quick smile as she closed the door.

****

Grandpa was not happy that Inuyasha
was in bed with Kagome. He was about to say something before Mama shooed him
out of the room.

Mama sent Sota off to his
bath as she led Grandpa into the kitchen. She set to the task of making dinner
while she waited for Grandpa to decide to speak up about Inuyasha.

�Do you think it is proper to let him stay in that
room with her? She is not in the condition to protect her self.� Grandpa was
pacing the floor as she spoke, �What would people say about him being so
familiar with our Kagome?�

�She is perfectly safe with him.�

�Safe? Do you remember that you spent the
night at the hospital?�

�Do you remember what she was like when he
brought her into the house?� She countered.

�Of course I do!�

�I don�t think you do. She was covered in blood, yet
the damage did not kill her. Do you think that it was your chanting that saved
her?�

He was silent. He thought about it and admitted, �No,
I don�t know what saved her. I can�t explain what happened.�

�Part of that blood was his. He risked his own life to
protect hers. I know that he healed her in some way.� I would much rather she be
with him than with some other boy. Someone else might not value her life the
way he does. He�s not human, but he cherishes the fact that she is.�

�Fine, Mama,� He put his hands up to let her know that
he surrendered, �They have my blessing, but I want some things explained to
them.�

****

�You know�I should go back tomorrow to let everyone
know you are alright. I can be back before you even know I�m gone.�

�I�ll know you�re gone, but you are probably right.�
It was strange having him be the considerate one for a change.� She looked at his hand as it rested on her
stomach. She started playing with his fingers as she spoke, �it would figure
that I am over my period. We could have made love tonight if this hadn�t
happened.�

He was shocked to find that sex was the first thing on
her mind. He had been so preoccupied that he hadn�t noticed that her sent had
returned to normal. It was the same old gentle smell that he had always loved.
�We�ll have each other soon enough. I talked to Mama��

�Mama?� She cut him off, �You are calling her Mama?�

�She told me to. She called me son,� he said
with a proud smile.

�You are sucha smoothy,� she said as she rubbed her nose against his.

He laughed at the cuteness of it, �That was nice, we�ll have to rub noses more often.�

She kissed him then whispered, �You look so good in
these clothes. I love how this shirt feels.� She ran her hand down his chest.

The knock at that door made them separate. They were
both trying to look innocent when Mama walked into the room. She had brought
dinner to them as promised. She asked Inuyasha to
place the dishes outside the door when they were finished so that she could get
them in the morning. She also let them know that everyone had been exhausted so
they would more than likely be making it an early evening. She asked Inuyasha if he would make sure that Kagome would take her
medication so she would not have to get back up. She even set the alarm for
them so they would remember. Then she said goodnight and close the door.

Inuyasha crawled off the bed and began the task of �caring for
his woman�. He propped her up so she could get to her food without too much
pain. He practically feed her the meal.
