Chap. 11- More Bad News

An ambulance was at my home when I returned. My grandfather was standing beside the door watching them take a stretcher out with Souta on it. "What happened?"

"He collapsed." I watched the stretcher as Grandfather said this.

"I'm going in the ambulance, someone needs to stay with him."

"I'm going to follow in the car."

"We can't allow you on there miss."

"I am his guardian and you will let me on there whether you like it or not." I jumped into the back anyway. The medics shook there heads and then put the stretcher in.

The doors closed quickly. I kept watch on Souta's face. It was pale and his eyes kept moving under his closed eyelids.

"Does he have nay conditions we need to know about?" One of the medics asked.

"He has HIV. Is it possible…" I answered softly.

"We do not know yet, we will know more when we get to the hospital." The first medic said.

The second whispered something almost inaudible. "If he makes it that long."

A hush fell in the back. I closed my eyes folding my hands in my lap and leaning against the back of the seat. I crossed my legs and breathed in and out slowly. The medics did not say anything more. They had let me know what I needed to. If he made it to the nearest hospital, he wouldn't survive the night- IF he made it there.

My eyes filled with tears almost immediately. Where was Inu or Sango when she needed them? Probably at home sleeping like I wanted to do. I would have to take tomorrow off.

I opened my eyes when they pulled into the hospital drive. When the paramedics jumped out I did also watching as they carried my brother in on a stretcher. It was no fair. It should have been me.

Inu and Sango appeared out of no where. "Kagome…" They said at once. I turned to them, tears flooding my eyes again and my legs giving out.

I never hit the floor though. Inu wrapped me in his arms, holding me close. "Baby, it'll be okay. I promise it will be…"

Sango sat down in one of the waiting chairs, her fingers rubbing the bridge of her nose. "You know nothing do you Inu? Souta, got HIV from Kikyou- Kikyou… isn't in the greatest condition right now either."

"What do you mean? She was fine last week."

"But that was last week. She's in the hospital too, and things look grim." Sango snapped at him. Her chest moved up and down as she breathed deeply. My body shook with sobs against Inu.

His arms only held me tighter, closer to his warmth. "I'm so sorry baby." His head bent to mine, the bridge of his nose nuzzling my cheek.

"If he dies because of that wretched bitch, I'll never forgive myself."

An: And here we are again… In the abyss of a cliff hanger… hehehe… I'm bad…
