InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Bargaining Death ❯ Ji-chan ( Chapter 12 )

an: you know the deal I don't own anyone or thing.

Ji-Chan

Inuyasha was taken back from her outburst. Had he insulted her that much? While the man stood in shock, a loud thud was heard from the yard.

Kagome rushed outside alongside of Miroku to see what caused the disturbance. Kagome rushed outside to find her grandfather lying on the ground unconscious. Tears streamed from her eyes, she had known he was in bad heath, but it still did not prepare her for the potential of losing her grandfather.

Miroku stood next to Kagome trying to analyze the situation when he was roused from his thoughts by an angry man in black. "Miroku stop standing there like an ass and go call an ambulance."

Inuyasha was beside himself. Would the old man actually go to the extreme of ending his life to save his granddaughter? Probably, who would really want their granddaughter taken from them by death himself? To love, to hold, and to undoubtedly spend eternity with.

Inuyasha watched as tears rolled from Kagome's eyes "Please don't cry, your grandfather will be just fine, he is probably suffering from exhaustion."

As the words slipped from his lips two large gentleman dressed in EMT outfits emerged at the top of the shrine steps hastily shooing Kagome and Inuyasha from Ji-chan. The men mumbled medical jargon between them regarding the old man's condition. Kagome covered her eyes as she cried. Inuyasha wanted nothing more than for her to stop crying.

The look in her eyes reminded him of all the times his mother would cry over his father. Inu no Taisho was a proud warrior who never backed down from a fight, no one was ever left standing once they challenged the great Inu no Taisho. He never met his father but his brother told him he was weak, weak because he took a human into his bed creating an abomination. It was his fault after all his father was dead his father died in battle trying to save his mother and himself from his mother's enraged family. He was only a new born pup at the time so he has no recollection of his father, only aged paintings and stories from his elders. His mother would tell him stories about his father over emphasizing his greatness. But after her stories she would cry quietly in her room and as he had done with his tear ridden mother he did with Kagome doing the only thing he could do.

He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close to his chest. This small act aided in the subsiding of her tears for once Inuyasha felt at peace as a nostalgic feeling overwhelmed him. Sliding shut, long eyelashes hid reminiscent eyes as images of a life he only wished for flashed behind his eyelids. Even though she was crying she was still unbelievably beautiful to him.

She is loving, giving, and most of all she has a smile that can bright light to the darkest room. When he was alive he wanted to marry and have a family. Inuyasha wanted nothing more than to have a wife and strong sons to honor him. Everything he wanted in a wife was the complete embodiment of Kagome. She smells wonderful, having a light floral scent that permeated her making his blood run quickly through his veins. He almost felt guilty taking pleasure in holding her but if it were not for the old man he would not have found her. Before he could stop himself three very small words slipped past his better judgment and were whispered into the hysterical girl's heart.

However, those words never made it to Kagome's ears for they were derailed by the EMT's loud and resonating voice announced the condition of Ji-chan, "Miss, your grandfather will be fine but we must take him to the hospital do you want to ride along with us in the ambulance?"

"So Inuyasha what was that all about between you and Kagome?"

"None of your fucking business lech."

"Oh really? What was that you whispered into her ear? Was that an I Love You?"

Returning the comment Inuyasha released a menacing growl "Like I said it is none of your fucking business I was just trying to console her, and if you wish to keep my fist from your face you will leave well enough alone."

Miroku stood silenced. This guy is way to touchy.

The young woman slowly relinquished the safety of the embrace she nodded in the positive to the EMT's question. First she was arguing with Inuyasha and now she was taking her grandfather to the hospital.

"Which hospital are they going to?" chimed in Miroku.

"We are going to Tokyo general it is the closest hospital."

"Ok thank you. Kagome we will meet you at the hospital Inuyasha and myself are going to take the train." As the sentence was finished the EMT's carried Ji-chan down the shrine steps followed by a saddened Kagome. She has not fully recovered from the death of her father and it was Ji-chan that helped take her father's place when he died and Ji-chan did his best to bring cheer and humor to the family. He never did truly mourn the death of his son but he did not have time to he had to be strong for the rest of the family. Perhaps she will soon need to be the strong one in the family. She was more than old enough to begin her own family. She boarded the ambulance in a haze of emotion barely noticing that the doors were closing as the ambulance sped off to the hospital.
