Original A/N:
This story was originally written back in 2005 and takes place earlier in the canon, back when they were still searching for jewel shards and Kikyou was still hell-bent on dragging Inuyasha into Hell. There are also a few details incorporated into this story that would now be considered 'off-canon', but please keep in mind that back when it was originally written, certain things had yet to be revealed in the official manga, which was still in production. I have no desire to completely alter my original stories based upon what Rumiko did after they were written. I may go back and tweak a few things here and there, correct and update my grammar and fix any typos I'd missed, but what happens in my older stories will always remain the same, no matter how 'off-canon' they are these days. Enjoy!
``````````
New A/N as of 4/18/11 PLEASE READ
First I would just like to say that I really love everyone's wonderful comments, for those of you who have so thoroughly enjoyed this story, however there are apparently some people out there who don't read author's notes, or are at least unable to grasp the meaning behind how subtly I'd written mine. I don't know what was so hard to comprehend about my above statement about this story having been written in 2005, and that "certain things had yet to be revealed in the official manga" and "I have no desire to completely alter my original stories based upon what Rumiko did after they were written" but for everyone's future information (I apologize for the unavoidable spoiler), this story contains the off-canon reference of Sesshoumaru's mother having died, and I am well aware of the fact that she was LATER revealed to still be alive. Everyone is sooooooo into the whole 'mating for life' shtick, but Sesshoumaru's mom still being alive really throws a monkey wrench into that concept, so for my older stories that had contained the 'mating for life' angle, I've left the details alone. People are repeatedly informing me through reviews and e-mail that she's still alive as if I didn't already know that, from barely just now watching the completed anime no less, which I actually find more than a little insulting when I read the manga in its entirety over two and a half years ago. I know the actual Inuyasha storyline inside and out, but for those of you who don't understand, when an author's note says the story is 'off-canon' that means that certain events are DIFFERENT from how they are portrayed in the manga/anime. I apologize for venting this on all of you, but I find that for me, nothing is more offensive than an idiot thinking I'm an idiot. I don't mean to come off as insulting, but it's been an ongoing issue on this and other sites so I'm just getting sick of it. Because this site and MM both allow me to delete reviews I've been removing them to spare the poster from embarrassing themselves, but believe me, there's been more than one.
Now as for the rest of you, the ones who would have stumbled upon that reveal in the story and immediately recognized it as part of the off-canon aspects I had been referring to, I thank you for your continued devotion. Even though the Inuyasha story was completed back in 2008, I still have a ton of fic ideas to write, so with all of your support, I'm going to be around for a long time to come. :-)

Chapter 1 - In the blink of an eye...
It was an afternoon not unlike any other in modern-day Tokyo, as four teenage girls made their way up the sidewalk towards the shrine district, three of the schoolgirls having decided to walk their other friend home after class; a friend they hardly got to see any more those days because she was always out sick.
"What do you want to do after class tomorrow, Kagome?" Ayumi asked innocently, unaware that Kagome would be coming down with another 'illness' after school the following day.
"Tomorrow?" the miko asked hesitantly.
Like Inuyasha would let me do anything... she thought bitterly. He'd be at my window in a heartbeat, wondering why I hadn't returned immediately after school, like he 'told' me to...
Releasing a near-silent sigh, Kagome replied with... "I'm not sure, don't know if I'll be able to do anything tomorrow."
Eri, as perceptive as she was, asked her friend with an air of concern in her voice, "Is it that jealous boyfriend of yours?"
Yuka took that moment to chime in as well.
"Yeah, Kagome, you never seem to have your freedom any more."
"No no no, it's not that..." the miko tried to bluff. "I just..." Oh, who am I kidding? They hit it right on the nose!
The sudden sound of screeching tires immediately broke Kagome from her train of thought, and looking up, the miko felt a rush of dread overtake her at the sight of a car barreling down the street, fish-tailing out of control and heading right for them. It wouldn't stop in time.
Instinctively, she lunged at her friends, pushing them to safety at the last possible second. Unfortunately, Kagome was too slow to save herself. In what seemed like slow motion, the miko did her best to dive out of the path of danger, but the car's front end struck her thigh. She flew several feet back, tumbling and rolling as she hit the ground screaming in a mixture of panic and pain. Some eyewitnesses swore they saw a pink light emanating from the teenager before she lost consciousness.
```````````````````````````````````````
In that same moment, or five hundred years earlier, depending on your perspective, Inuyasha's ears swiveled towards the direction of the well, as he sat perched on the fence that lined Kaede's village.
What the hell...? he silently questioned in his mind.
Something was nagging at him all of a sudden, although he couldn't quite put his finger on it. An almost unbearable wave of desire to go see Kagome had just come over him, but arguing with himself in that moment, the hanyou remembered quite clearly how after several minutes of 'negotiating' he and the miko had reached the agreement of allowing her five days in her world, which meant that she would be returning the following afternoon. If he showed up in her time early there would be hell to pay.
Feh...just who orders who around here? he thought bitterly, realizing that for all his posturing and demands, when it came to Kagome returning to her world beyond the well, she always got the last word, even if that word was 'osuwari'.
Diligently doing his best to ignore the bizarre and unexpected longing to go see Kagome a day early, Inuyasha jumped down from his perch and decided to go pester the kitsune.
```````````````````````````````````````
Kagome felt like her world was spinning. Her head refused to focus, causing lights and sounds to dance around her at incomprehensible speeds.
Suddenly, a familiar voice cut through the mayhem.
"Kagome? Kagome darling, can you hear me?"
Mama...
Hearing her mother call her name, and with such panic in her voice, it enabled the miko to claw her way to the surface of her mind, as she slowly regained consciousness.
As Kagome gradually rejoined the world of the living, the first thought to enter her head was... Why am I lying on the street? Which was quickly followed by, What...what happened?
Suddenly, there was the sound of someone counting "One, two, three..." and she felt her body being joisted, followed by the sensation of being hoisted off of the ground. She tried to move, but after a moment of struggling realized that the reason she couldn't was because she was strapped to a board. I must really be hurt...
"M-mama...? Wha...what...happened?" she asked groggily, her voice raspy.
"Shhhh, just rest, dear." her mother replied, tears of joy that her daughter was still alive streaming down her face. When she'd first received Eri's panic-stricken phone call...
"You're going to the hospital." Mrs. Higurashi told her daughter then, shaking the could-have-beens free from her mind. "They'll take good care of you, and I'll see you again real soon, okay?"
Kagome managed to mumble "Okay..." before drifting off to sleep once more.
```````````````````````````````````````
Later that evening, back in the Sengoku jida, the peaceful tranquility that would ordinarily be felt around Kaede's fire-pit was unceremoniously broken by the persistent nervous pacing of an adolescent inu-hanyou, as he refused to settle down for the evening as the rest of his companions were attempting to do.
"What is it, Inuyasha?" Miroku asked after a moment, unable to ignore his friend's clear agitation. Was he sensing danger near by?
Sango, who was also more than a little concerned by that point, elaborated where the houshi left off, asking next, "Is something wrong?"
"I don't know." Inuyasha replied hesitantly, temporarily stopping his unconscious pacing as he gazed in the direction of his friends. "I've just had the strangest feeling since this afternoon, and it won't go away."
"What type of feeling?" Miroku asked then, his curiosity peaked. Usually, Inuyasha would have just shrugged off their questions, plopping himself down with his arms crossed once he realized they had been aware of his pacing. To actually confirm that he was feeling uneasy meant that whatever was troubling him shouldn't be taken lightly.
"It..." the hanyou began hesitantly, before slouching his shoulders and just deciding to come clean, "...has to do with Kagome."
"Kagome, you say?" Kaede chimed in in that moment, earning herself a glare from the inu-hanyou for butting in.
Still, after only a moment, Inuyasha dropped his angry façade and allowed his true worry to show, as he answered, "Yeah..." Finally plopping himself down next to his companions around the fire, he added, "Ever since earlier, it's like I really wanna go see her, like just to make sure she's okay or something."
Miroku and Sango both stared wide-eyed at their friend, nearly in shock that he had actually admitted to such a thing, and without even blushing in embarrassment afterwards. Inuyasha only ignored his would-be embarrassment over revealing that he had any sort of feelings for the miko when she was in serious danger, when his natural drive to protect her simply overrode all other instincts.
Realizing how serious the situation actually was, at least from Inuyasha's perspective, it was without any sort of humor or teasing in his voice that Miroku stated, "If you are truly that concerned, then you should simply go and check on her."
"Feh..." Inuyasha answered then. "She ain't due back till tomorrow, and I don't wanna hear her bitchin' if she thinks I've shown up to fetch her a day early."
"Just tell her the truth, that you aren't there to get her but only wanted to see her." Sango reasoned, secretly knowing just how deeply in love with the hanyou Kagome really was, and how much the girl would probably love to hear him confess such a thing.
Shippou's frightened cry of "And what if something's actually happened to her?!" was enough to put the hanyou into action.
Shit! Inuyasha thought frantically, I know not to ignore my instincts, damn it! But... he tried to argue then for the umpteenth time that day, She's supposed to be safe in her world.
"Keh, I'll just check in on her." he answered then, rising to his feet casually in an attempt to not let the others know how worried he really was. "She don't gotta know I'm there, no sense in tasting dirt for no reason." he added as he made his way towards the doorway. "I'll be back soon." he stated, turning to glance in his friends' directions, offering everyone in the hut a quick nod before bounding out the door and heading for the well.
As the mat covering the open doorway fell back into place, Miroku and Sango stared back and forth at each other in silence for a moment, a very, 'What just happened here?' look in their eyes. Shippou was now a nervous wreck, but was attempting to console himself as he spoke with Kirara in the corner, the nekomata diligently meowing in agreement to his thoughts at the appropriate moments. Kaede remained thoughtful, finding Inuyasha's open concern for Kagome less surprising, and honestly, a little more troublesome. Just as the monk and slayer had both realized, the elder miko also knew that Inuyasha's instincts were not to be trifled with. She had not voiced her agreement with Shippou's concern aloud for fear of agitating the hanyou even further, but Kaede did worry that something had actually happened to young Kagome, especially if the thought had been plaguing him for so long, and for reasons that seemed unexplainable on the surface. The elder miko had always thought that there was a connection of sorts between Inuyasha and her sister's reincarnation. She had always believed in the existence of soul mates, so perhaps...perhaps it was never Kikyou whom Inuyasha was meant to be with, but her reincarnation, instead. Kaede only hoped that whatever had happened to Kagome, it wasn't too serious. She knew that there was nothing she could do about it, though, except to pray that everything would turn out all right.
```````````````````````````````````````
Making his way to the mysterious time portal, the hanyou jumped in without a single thought given to the magic behind how he and Kagome were able to enter each other's worlds, or how they were in fact the only ones who could travel back and forth. His solitary thought revolved around hoping that his gut feeling was wrong, and that when he emerged on Kagome's side of time, he would find the girl up in her room studying.
Making sure that no one was around, Inuyasha carefully exited the well-house and stealthfully made his way across the shrine grounds to the family's home, bounding in a single leap up to the roof edge just outside Kagome's bedroom window. If she were studying he wouldn't bother her; he really didn't want to have to explain to the girl why he had arrived in her time a day early.
What the hell?? he thought in confusion upon looking in her window.
Kagome's mother was in her room, going through Kagome's things. She was grabbing clothing and other items, and packing them all into a bag, though not the yellow backpack the girl always brought with her into his time. The elder Higurashi woman also seemed fairly upset.
Crap! Did something happen to Kagome???
Hastily sliding the window open, Inuyasha jumped into Kagome's room, his soft footfalls on the tatami flooring startling the already frantic woman.
"Oh, Inuyasha!" she exclaimed in surprise.
"What's happened to Kagome?" he asked immediately, adding, "Where is she? What's going on?" before the woman could even get a word in edgewise.
Mrs. Higurashi was understandably taken aback. How had he even known that something had happened? But shaking that quandary free, Kagome's mother could easily see the genuine concern for her daughter's welfare that Inuyasha held in his eyes, concern that she had never seen in him before. But then again, Kagome had never been so seriously injured before, or at least not in their time. Had such a thing happened before, back in the past? Had the hanyou boy standing before her shown that same level of concern for her daughter before, during previous instances that she had never been made aware of?
Shaking that quandary free as well, it was with a saddened countenance that the hanyou had never before seen her express, either, that Mrs. Higurashi shakily answered, "Kagome was hit by a drunk driver."
"A what?" he asked, not sure he understood her right.
He knew what the word drunk meant, but as far as he knew, the term 'driver' was given to certain people in the farming industry, like those who drove cattle, for instance. A drunken farmer had hit Kagome? But that didn't sound right. First of all, it didn't sound serious enough for her mother to be as upset as she was. Second, Inuyasha knew there were no longer any farms of that type in Kagome's world, or at least not right where she lived. The farms were elsewhere, she'd explained to him once, the supplies being taken to the cities for people to purchase in that giant indoor marketplace where she gets his ramen. So okay, if that wasn't it, then what was?
With a heavy sigh, it was in that moment that Mrs. Higurashi explained to the sixteenth century hanyou, "A 'drunk driver' is what we call a person driving a car while drunk."
She didn't know if he would understand that answer, either, but he understood her well enough.
"A car...?" he began slowly, "You mean those noisy, smelly machine-things you people travel around in?"
He knew what cars were, and they were scary.
Kagome's mother answered with a quiet "Yes..." while unconsciously fiddling with the zipper on the bag she'd packed for her daughter. She didn't know how long Kagome would be in the hospital, but she wanted to go ahead and bring her daughter a change of clothes for when she was ready for them.
"Why would someone 'drive' one of those things while drunk?" Inuyasha asked incredulously, having no idea how a car actually worked, but knowing enough to know that you shouldn't be in control of one of those damn things if you were fucking drunk at the time.
"I don't know." Mrs. Higurashi replied with a sigh, taking a seat on the edge of her daughter's bed. "Doing so is not allowed, and people can get in a lot of trouble if they get caught doing it, but some people do it anyway. They just don't think any harm will come of it; they think they are still sober enough to keep in control."
Inuyasha could tell that the woman before him was nearing the point of tears, and he sat down on the bed beside her in that moment, in an attempt to provide some small level of comfort. He couldn't stand seeing a woman cry. Still, he had to know...
"Where is Kagome now? Is she...all right?"
Mrs. Higurashi caught the choke in Inuyasha's voice. Was he fighting back tears as well? Thankfully, her daughter would be all right.
"She's at the hospital." Mrs. Higurashi began, explaining, "Kagome was very lucky. Most of the time when a car hits a pedestrian, a person walking along side the street..." she added before he could question her unknown word, "...the person walking receives much worse injuries than what Kagome has. Sometimes..." she admitted, "...they even die from their injuries."
Inuyasha didn't know what to say or think. He'd seen the cars of Kagome's world from time to time, like when he had followed her scent to that 'school' place of hers, so he could envision fairly easily what would likely happen to a person walking along the side of the road should somebody drunkenly careen their giant metal horseless cart right into them. That had happened to Kagome?
I'll bet it happened right when I first got that feeling to go through the well. Damn it! he cursed in his head. Why didn't I listen to my instincts!?
Then again, the accident had already taken place by the time he'd felt anything about it, so even if he had ventured into Kagome's time earlier that afternoon upon first feeling his desire to do so, he still wouldn't have been able to do anything to prevent Kagome from getting hurt. Why and how he had even received any sort of feeling about the accident in the first place went completely unnoticed as he frantically asked Mrs. Higurashi, "What is this 'hospital'? Where is it? How do I get there?" His heart was racing as fast as his mouth.
"It's a place where the doctors are..." she answered his first question, "...to treat the sick and injured."
Seeing Inuyasha nod in understanding, she noted how his entire body seemed to stiffen as if he planned on leaping right out the window as soon as she gave him the directions.
"You can't visit her right now." she added regretfully. His ears drooped dejectedly at her words, but she continued nonetheless. "She's in intensive care. I'm just taking her some supplies."
Mrs. Higurashi couldn't bear to see the hurt and rejection in Inuyasha's eyes, so quickly saying the first thing that came to mind that would cheer him up, even if only a little, she added, "But if you'd like to stay the night here, then I can take you to her tomorrow."
The hanyou's ears did perk up marginally at that, as he met her eyes with his own and answered, "Yes, I'll do that." As an afterthought, he added, "Thank you."
Mrs. Higurashi's reply was in the form of a warm, loving smile and embrace, as she told the boy to sit tight while she went to deliver Kagome her few things.
```````````````````````````````````````
Inuyasha spent the night in Kagome's room, though he couldn't rightfully say that he got any sleep. He tried to, allowing her scent to wash over him, plus the knowledge that she was going to be all right, but sleep still evaded him with a barrage of negative thoughts buzzing around in his head. Though he kind of understood what had happened, he hadn't realized that there was so much danger in her time.
How can I protect her when she won't let me accompany her in her world? he thought hopelessly, before promptly scolding himself. Baka, I should have just followed her anyway!
Now, as the first rays of morning began streaming in through her bedroom window, one thought above all others refused to leave him be. What if she doesn't recover?
She just had to recover! Her mother had told him that she was going to be all right, so then that was the truth, right? Her mother would never lie to him about something like that, he was sure. Inhaling deeply, Inuyasha allowed Kagome's scent to fully engulf his senses. It was the only thing that had kept him sane during his miserable wait until morning. He'd forgotten all about traveling back through the well to let the others know what had happened. He had to see Kagome with his own eyes; smell her fresh scent and not just the lingering traces of what remained in her otherwise empty bedroom. He wouldn't be able to do anything else until he both saw and smelled for himself that she was truly all right.
Shortly after sunrise, Mrs. Higurashi quietly peaked her head into Kagome's room, only to discover Inuyasha sitting wide awake on her daughter's bed, arms and legs crossed, his ears perking up as he lifted his head to meet her gaze.
"Oh good, you're up." she stated gently, and with a genuine smile on her lips. "If you're ready, we can get going. Here..." she added, handing Inuyasha a baseball cap, which he wordlessly took from her outstretched hand and placed upon his head.
Seeing him ready to follow her out of the room, Mrs. Higurashi thought of something else in that moment.
"Oh..." she began hesitantly. "...and I'm afraid you'll have to leave your sword here. They won't allow any weapons."
She mentally cringed at the look he gave her, somewhere between a glare of disgust and the wide-eyed look of panic-stricken horror. She knew he never went anywhere without his sword. Still, after only a moment of internal debate, Mrs. Higurashi was both relieved and somewhat amazed to see him silently remove the sheathed katana from his obi, before gently laying it down on Kagome's bed.
"Whatever it takes." he mumbled quietly as he brushed his fingers along the scabbard, before quickly pulling himself away from the sword and standing up straight to stare in her direction.
Choosing not to comment on what a difficult moment that had obviously been for him, she turned and headed out of her daughter's room, hearing him instantly fall into step behind her. Once they made it to the genkan, she faced another challenge, as she opened the getabako and held up a pair of simple zori sandals for his inspection.
The inu-hanyou crinkled his nose at the sight of the offending footwear, and Mrs. Higurashi's heart really went out to the boy, knowing he never wore shoes.
"I'm afraid you can't be barefoot in the hospital, either." she stated sympathetically.
"Keh." he muttered, grabbing the sandals without another word.
Inuyasha heard Kagome's mother mumble "Sorry..." under her breath as he slipped the horrid things upon his feet, but looking back up to meet her eyes in that moment, the hanyou informed her, "I've waited all night to see Kagome. When I said I'd do whatever it takes, I meant it."
She offered him a warm smile, and it was finally in that moment that the hanyou noticed how much calmer the woman seemed to be that morning. She didn't smell of suppressed tears as she had the night before, before she'd left to see the doctors currently treating Kagome. Her improvement in mood could only be a good thing.
"How is she?" he asked the girl's mother in that moment, as they made their way outside.
"Oh, it's a miracle!" Mrs. Higurashi beamed, kicking herself for having forgotten to inform the boy of the good news. "She escaped with just a broken leg and a mild concussion." she informed him then.
But that didn't sound like a miracle to Inuyasha. While he had no idea what a 'concussion' was, he honestly hadn't heard much of anything else after the first part of what she'd said.
"Her leg is broken?!?" he questioned frantically, horror clearly written across his face. Of course, in Inuyasha's time, such an injury would be far more serious, for a human at least. He'd had plenty of broken bones in his life, but that was different.
"She's lucky that's all that's broken." her mother countered then, informing the boy, "According to the eyewitness reports, with how fast the car had been traveling when it struck her, and how far she tumbled as a result, she could have very easily suffered from massive internal injuries, not to mention severe head trauma. To come out of it all with only a mild concussion and one broken leg is miraculous indeed."
That's my Kagome... he thought then, a twinge of pride sparkling in his eyes. Always much tougher than she looks...
"Still..." he voiced after a moment, his uncertainty clear. "Can you guys heal broken legs properly?" he asked, knowing that Kagome's world was more advanced than his own, but having no real idea of what could or couldn't be done by her standards. "Will she be able to walk right?" In his time, a broken leg, while not typically life threatening, usually resulted in the person having a limp and needing a walking stick for the rest of their life. With their mission to collect the shards and slay Naraku...
Smiling at the boy whom she realized in that moment was truly from another time, indeed, Mrs. Higurashi readily assured him, "In our time, Inuyasha, a broken leg is not that serious. Yes, Kagome will be able to walk correctly. It'll take some time to heal, but then she'll be good as new."
With that worry out of the way, Inuyasha followed Kagome's mother around to the back of the property, where she had the family car parked. He had a few reservations about getting inside the contraption, but knowing that it was the only way, he bit his tongue before he could offer any form of protest out loud; he would keep his vow to do whatever it took to see his Kagome again.
Mrs. Higurashi noticed his momentary hesitance to get inside the car, and immediately realized that he had never ridden inside of one before, but seeing how he chose to swallow his discomfort she kept her mouth shut, allowing him to think his sudden nervousness had gone unnoticed.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Inyasha's sensitive nose was immediately overwhelmed with the scents of blood, sickness, death, sterilization and medicine. With so many people hurt in Kagome's time, it was a wonder she hadn't become injured sooner; her time was definitely not as safe as he had previously thought it to be.
As they approached the front desk, Mrs. Higurashi quietly instructed Inuyasha to just let her do all the talking and to follow her lead. He readily agreed. Mrs. Higurashi then told the lady at the counter who she was and whom she was there to see, and was quickly given a room number and brief instructions on where exactly in the hospital Kagome could be found. Thanking the lady at the front desk, Mrs. Higurashi took Inuyasha by the hand as she made to lead him through the hospital corridors. He glanced down at their joined hands in confusion, but upon glancing back up into her eyes, Kagome's mother offered him a warm, understanding smile, and suddenly all of the anxiety he had been feeling just whooshed out of him. She squeezed his hand in motherly comfort, and he understood and appreciated the gesture. Just how many mothers from Kagome's time would bother offering comfort to a wild hanyou from five hundred years in the past? It was no mystery to him, where Kagome's unending supply of kindness and acceptance had come from. Offering her hand the tiniest of squeezes in return, Inuyasha did his best to articulate his thanks, as they made their way through a labyrinth of blaring lights and nauseating odors.
They passed door after door, until suddenly entering a set of doors that seemed to go nowhere at all. Kagome's mother explained to him briefly what an elevator was as they rode the device up to the second floor. Then they passed by more doors, and more doors still.
This place is freakin' huge! Inuyasha thought with a morbid sense of amazement. That Kagome's people had built such a grand structure for all of the healers of her giant village to work in together was truly amazing. That they had that many people who required treatment at any given time was somewhat distressing.
The hanyou was pulled from his thoughts when a very familiar scent suddenly wormed its way into his sinuses, immediately stamping out all other scents in the entire building as the canine in him allowed his mind to hone in on that one smell alone.
"Kagome! She's in this room!" he suddenly bellowed, releasing Mrs. Higurashi's hand as he ran the last few feet down the corridor to her room like an eager child.
"I didn't know you could read these types of numbers." she commented with a chuckle in regard to Western numerals, as she caught up with him outside of the closed door that led to her daughter.
"I can't, but there's no mistaking that scent." he declared matter-of-factly, his chest puffing out with confidence as he waited for Mrs. Higurashi to open the door.
Offering the boy an amused smile, Mrs. Higurashi quietly opened the door to her daughter's hospital room.
Inuyasha gasped.
Kagome was asleep at the moment, and from the hanyou's point of view, she was trapped in some sort of torture chamber. Her entire left leg was incased in stone, with only her bare foot immerging at the end, some sort of harness apparatus tied around the limb and holding it up into the air at an unnatural angle. Next to her on the right was a tall shiny metal 'thing' with a clear bag of liquid attached to it, with vines coming forth from the bag and entering Kagome's flesh just above her right hand. Behind that device was another tall metal 'thing' had vines that came down and disappeared into Kagome's gown, and that machine was making the most annoying 'beeping' sound that Inuyasha had ever heard. It only took him a moment to realize that those 'beeps' were in perfect timing with Kagome's heart beat, and he decided to himself that that must be what that machine was for, allowing the humans to hear her heart. Okay...and the liquid stuff was...*sniff sniff*...he hadn't a clue.
Seeing her like that made Inuyasha feel more pain than he had ever thought possible. How could this have happened?

The Accident
